In Indian Land and Chester, Rock Hill and Fort Mill, fear froze the women.
The wives and the mothers of the 178th.
All Hayley Tindall in Indian Land with a 6-year-old son at home heard Thursday was that a soldier from the 178th serving in Afghanistan was dead.
"Is this one mine?" she thought to herself as the minutes crawled by but the answers didn't come.
Bonnie Hoagland in Chester, with two sons in Afghanistan in the 178th, got one phone call after another starting late Wednesday. Her husband, Chris, in the 178th himself but not in Afghanistan, got calls. They called others.
"Horrible, the wait, the thoughts," Bonnie Hoagland said.
Finally on Thursday, the word started to get out through the wife-and-mother grapevine who the soldier was. Then, at 8:17 p.m. Thursday, the Army said officially that a 37-year-old electrician and father of three sons, with a wife he had been with since he was a high school football star outside Spartanburg, was dead. His name was Sgt. Shawn Fitzgerald Hill. He was 178th from Wellford, but not York County, Chester County or Lancaster County 178th.
But still, 178th.
What that means is tears and sorrow -- because somebody in the family is dead.
That is what these wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are at these hundreds of area homes. Hoping and praying you never get the death call, and crying with joy when the call comes that the death isn't yours.
Then, the immediate sorrow for the wife and children who you have never met but are just like you and your family. Now husbandless, or fatherless, or both.
The official name of the unit is the S.C. Army National Guard 178th Combat Engineer Battalion, with headquarters in Rock Hill and additional armories in Fort Mill, Timmonsville and Wellford on the other side of Spartanburg. Many in the 178th had been deployed since April with the 218th Brigade that has almost 2,000 South Carolina guardsmen in Afghanistan.
But they are scattered throughout Afghanistan doing different tasks. Not all the men are in the same place. Some, such as Tammi Kimbrell's Rock Hill husband, may not know yet because they haven't called home to say they're alive. Tammi Kimbrell read about the death in the paper Friday.
"I am so sorry for this family," she said. "The wife. The kids."
Many in the 178th, including hundreds from the 178th Combat Engineers and 178th Field Artillery units, had been to Iraq on previous deployments. Like Shawn Hill, that electrician from Wellford who survived Iraq before Afghanistan killed him.
Somehow, until then, no soldier from the 178th had been killed in action.
Chris Hoagland made it through Iraq, and now two of his stepsons are in Afghanistan.
"I met Hill a couple times," Hoagland said. "When somebody in the 178th family is gone, everybody mourns."
Bonnie Hoagland had to say a prayer of thanks that she was not the mother of a dead soldier and in the next breath cry for a wife just like herself.
"Everyone is family," she said.
That 178th family, after word became official, responded like families do when somebody in the family is dead -- with lightning speed.
The unit's Family Readiness Group leaders -- the wives and mothers left behind -- sent people and food, cups, plates and whatever Hill's wife needed. The few 178th soldiers home on leave from Afghanistan left the embraces of their own families to drive to Shawn Hill's home and offer condolence and service and remarks that Shawn Hill was a man's man. A soldier from Rock Hill who had never met Shawn Hill but also served in Iraq, drove during the late hours Thursday to tell that family that he and others in the 178th would do all they could for them.
There at the house were so many who had served with Hill. Sgt. Homer Dillard was one. Guardsmen together and best friends at home and at war. They rode together in Iraq for a year.
"I never worried about myself when I knew Shawn had my back," Dillard said. "He was my brother. An inspirational leader. He volunteered to go this time. Because some of his guys were going, and (he) wanted to watch their backs."
As word of Hill's death spread through the area 178th, Hayley Tindall finally got her phone call from her husband in Afghanistan. He knew Shawn Hill. This couple mourned together while separated by half the earth.
"I don't know Mrs. Hill over there in Wellford," Hayley Tindall told me. "But would you do me a favor? If you talk to her, tell her I cry for her."

In January 2007, a group of bus fans had an informal excursion to San Francisco with three buses owned by private collectors. The day's outing was a huge success and at the end of the day we decided that we needed to do this type of thing more often. We also decided that we needed a forum where bus enthusiast of all types could connect and share info and their love of buses.
Members of our group connect through our on-line e-mail discussion group. This is an open discussion group where we can talk about current bus operations and news, bus history, share photos, and plan future outings and get-togethers. Some members of our group have vast collections of old and new bus photos and as time allows they will be scanned and shared in the e-mail group and be added to the photo albums on this website.
So if you are a bus fan from northern California or you are bus enthusiast who has an interest in buses from northern California, come join us. It is going to be a fun ride.

My two main goals are USC, or UCLA. I'm a California girl, and it's of the utmost importance to me to stay in California, preferably Southern because I want to do entertainment law and I have more connections to the industry in LA than I do in say, NYC. It would also be much cheaper for me to stay in LA.
After I graduate this year (a full year earlier than most of my peers), I should come out with a 3.5-3.67. After this quarter, right before apps are due for my two GOAL schools, I will come out with a 3.47. My community college GPA was a 3.5. I'm considering taking two online classes from the CC in December to help boost my law admissions GPA (would this even work?). I'm lightly considering staying a full four years to push my GPA as highly as possible, but it's really undesirable for me. UCs are expensive, and I'm not sure the money I would save on law school would balance out. But staying one more year would put me in a better position as far as GPA, and gaining another degree.
I will apply again next year if I don't get to UCLA or USC this cycle. Do you think it's even worth a shot for me this year? Should I just apply to the lower end of t-14s, give it a shot just in case? I mean, if I got into say, NYU and UCLA, it'd be extremely hard for me to choose despite rankings and employment ratios, etc, but its nice to have options. My letters of rec will be killer, and my personal statements have been pretty fire for the last few years, but I know it's really a numbers game.
I'm anticipating 170-ish on the december LSAT, and 171+ on the feb. LSAT. I'm self studying for December, and have taken a handful of practice tests that put me in the high 160s. February, I plan on taking a formal class to prepare. I'm just late getting into what I should've been doing, which kills me. I blame a little bit of indecision between pursuing grad school for AfAm, and law school.
Estimated stats for THIS cycle: 3.47, 170, URM. softs: law internship, black student union (committee position), nigerian student association, black queer collective, president of first establish gay straight alliance at my CC. nothing really unique compared to the rest of the herd, unfortunately. I'm just having a moment where I'm realizing I'm a little late in getting my things together, and have a deadline soon after the Feb LSAC to turn in my graduation forms. I can put myself in a better position next year, or graduate and give it a swing, and simply try to increase LSAT scores next year after my final GPA from undergrad if I don't make it.
If I don't make it this year, I'm going to try to quit my current job after becoming an assistant at a law firm. Quite a few in my area are taking up new undergrads with my poli sci major. I'll do that, or grab another internship. I know being a K JD is hard, so I need the best odds possible.
Thanks to all who have given advice so far!

Mariah Carey's New Video Stars Match.com and Jussie Smollett, of Course
Tyson Beckford's pecs make an appearance, too.
Hilary Duff and Zedd might have jumped on the Tinder bandwagon, but Mariah Carey's all about that grown 'n' sexy love. And where else do you find it but on Match.com? The Zero Chill Queen has partnered with the dating site to premiere her new video for "Infinity," which of course stars Tyson Beckford's pecs and Empire's Jussie Smollett (with a puppy!) as her potential Nick Cannon rebound. We'll let you figure out which one probably wins the free ticket to her heavily-promoted-in-the-video Las Vegas show.
To further the shameless promo, Mariah has even created her own (slightly boring) Match.com profile. So if you're a nonsmoking dude between the ages of "20–120" within 50 miles of Dallas, swipe right! Er, email her.

Six people were injured in an accident that occurred 7 miles north of Salem on I-57 northbound shortly before 9:30pm on Sunday.
According to a press release from the Illinois State Police, 53 year old, Michael Medina, of Brookfield, Illinois was traveling northbound on I-57, when he struck a deer in the middle of the roadway. Following Medina was 30 year old, Jill L. Edwards, of Braidwood, Illinois. Edwards was able to stop her vehicle in time to avoid striking the back of Medina's vehicle, but was unable to avoid hitting the deer. 32 year old, Cindy Rae Hamilton, of Effingham was traveling behind Edwards but was unable to stop and struck the back of Edwards' vehicle.
Jill Edwards and her passengers, 32 year old, Christopher Edwards, 51 year old, Tina M. Fonck, an 11 year old male, and a 5 year old female, all of Braidwood, were transported Salem Hospital for treatment. Hamilton's passenger, 30 year old, Kristi M. Duckwitz, of Effingham was transported to Salem Hospital as well. Charges are pending further investigation of the accident.

This work has been started during my PhD at Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1. If you are interested in Solid-State NMR of proteins, you can also visit my former home page, or discover some of the latest developments in this area at CRMN in Lyon. You can also download my thesis manuscript here.
The determination of molecular dynamics in proteins is one of the key challenges in understanding their structure-function relationships, since internal motion has always been suggested as a fundamental modulator of biological function.(1) Solution state NMR, as well as Molecular Dynamics simulations, supply a rich insight into fast motions of the protein backbone. However, relaxation studies in solution are complicated by the superimposition of internal motions and overall tumbling, while MD trajectories of thousands of atoms in a realistic environment are limited to short timescales, and can thus only give a qualitative idea of rates and motional restrictions.
|The dimeric form of the protein Crh
In this context, the link between nuclear relaxation times in solids and motion has been established for decades, and several deuterium NMR lineshape and relaxation studies on solid proteins, as well as nitrogen-15 relaxation measurements(2) have been performed in the past. In these studies, however, it was not possible to obtain widespread site-specific information about the variation of mobility from one part of the molecule to another. The introduction of micro-crystalline protein samples, as well as substantial improvements in the sensitivity and resolution of multidimensional solid-state NMR experiments, has lead to rapid recent progress being made in this field, resulting in the first complete assignments of proteins in the solid-state(3-6) and the first three-dimensional structure of model systems.(7)
In this context, we have shown that it is possible to record longitudinal relaxation experiments, and obtain widespread, site-specific information about the variations in nitrogen-15 spin-lattice relaxation rates.(8)
We have measured nitrogen-15 nuclear longitudinal relaxation rates (R1) in a micro crystalline, uniformly labeled [15N, 13C] sample of the protein Crh in its domain swapped dimeric form (2 x 10.4 kDa),(3) and provide a qualitative description of the site specific backbone dynamics in the solid-state. We observe substantial differences (up to a factor 7) in R1 along the backbone. It is apparent that there is a strong correlation between measured relaxation rates and a simple but coherent preliminary picture of internal mobility, with increased mobility providing faster R1. In particular we find increased mobility for residues that are not in regular secondary structures, whereas the rates measured for residues in α helices or β sheets show less mobility.(8)
| Since
Nitrogen-15 spins can be considered as local probes for
study of internal mobility along protein backbone in solid proteins(2),
we also
present further development of a theoretical model initially proposed
by Torchia and Szabo to quantitatively determine fluctuations in local
dynamics, and distinguish between timescale and motional amplitude
We use Padé approximants to describe autocorrelation functions for nitrogen-15 dipolar relaxation within the model of diffusion in a cone. We examine different averaging schemes in order to propose an analysis of relaxation curves that takes into account the specificity of MAS experiments. In particular, we show that Magic Angle Spinning averages the relaxation rate experienced by a single spin over one rotor period, resulting in individual relaxation curves that are still modulated by the orientation of their corresponding carrousel with respect to the rotor axis. Powder averaging thus leads to a non exponential behaviour in the observed decay curves. To extract dynamic informations from experimental curves, we propose a procedure using a simple motional model. Finally, we apply this study to the analysis of spin-lattice relaxation rates of the microcrystalline protein Crh at two different fields.(9)
Furthermore, the observation of proton to nitrogen-15 heteronuclear Overhauser effects in the microcrystalline protein Crh is used to confirm that the principal mechanism of relaxation of amide nitrogens is due to the fluctuation of the N-H dipolar couplings caused by N-H bond dynamics.
Our observations reveal the central role of water as the main source of proton magnetization, and we provide an analysis of the different pathways that could lead to the observed results.(10)
The effect of nitrogen-15 proton driven spin diffusion on quantitative 15N T1 measurements in solid proteins has also been investigated, and the impact on the measurement of dynamic parameters has been assessed. A simple model of exchange between neighboring nitrogens is used to reproduce the evolution of 15N spin systems whose longitudinal relaxation rates, and exchange rates are compatible with experimental measurements.
We show that the induced error in the measured T1 and its effect on the determination of dynamics parameters is likely to be less than the current experimental error. The use of deuterated protein samples is shown to have a small but sometimes visible effect, and may also considerably slow down or even suppress the exchange of magnetization due to spin diffusion.(11)
Finally, we have shown that the paramagnetic form of a Cu(II) protein, the oxidized form of human, dimeric copper zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD) is accessible to high-resolution solid-state NMR studies when it is in microcrystalline form.
Due to the long electronic T1, relaxation times of the so-called type II copper center, oxidized SOD is virtually inaccessible to solution NMR studies, with 1H NMR resonances of protons closer than 11 Å from the metal ion broadened beyond detection. We present a series of homonuclear heteronuclear correlation spectra obtained on a microcrystalline sample under MAS (10-20 kHz). Compared to liquid-state experiments that rely on the excitation and detection of proton coherences, solid-state experiments offer better performances for correlating backbone resonances and providing assignments close to the metal.(12)
These recent progress in methods for obtaining NMR spectra for paramagnetic molecular solids, have yielded the complete assignment of this 32 kDa dimer.(9)

Answering the question, "What is my Purpose?" is exciting and inspiring, chock full of self-discovery and living as the souls we are. Living my purpose means feeling fulfilled and knowing that I am doing what I am here to do.
Let's look at keys to living my purpose…
It's Up To You!
No one can fulfill your life purpose like you can. You are a unique soul who has come to planet earth for a reason. You have certain experiences, talents and energy. You also have all the backing that you need to be successful in your venture.
You may not realize how much wisdom you have within and all the help that is available to you. Then again, you may already be tapping into your purpose and feeling the fulfillment. You may want to clarify your purpose further and live it even more.
Wherever you are at in your evolvement as a soul, you can take it deeper.
My Purpose in Life
Shifting into High Gear!
Taking my own initiative in life from within me is one of the most important keys to living my purpose. We are going to make this the number one key because it is so important. You may want to say it again to yourself and see how that feels and how you have experienced that.
I take my own initiative in what I feel is important.
Can you remember a time when you decided to really get into what you sensed was important? Go ahead and take a moment and recall a moment when you were energized and seemed to be moving along with an energy flow. It may be a situation from the past or one that you are involved in now.
You may notice how you seemed to get breaks when you were in this flow. You may have met certain people who you connected with and helped you on your path or you may have helped them.
Certain opportunities may have come to you that opened up doors in your ventures. You may recall how you were receiving inspiration that helped you overcome challenges and keep going even when life was difficult.
Taking time to spiritually regroup your experiences like this, can give you helpful insights into living your purpose. For more information on living your purpose and key questions to get the most for the time you are on earth, take a look here.
In any event, this is the kick off to the keys to clarifying my purpose in life – taking your own initiative, especially from what you feel you need to be involved in. It's not so much doing it for the pay, the recognition or other outer reasons, although those can be fine and sometimes really needed. It's mainly being involved in certain ventures because you have a sense that it is important in a bigger picture sense.
My Purpose in Life – Eight More Keys
Now that we have laid out the first key, we are ready to go further into this topic:
Clarifying And Living My Purpose In Life
To get the most from these important points, you may want to do some self-evaluation and see how they have transpired in your life:
2: Your life purpose is not so much a role you play, like a certain job. It is an unfolding, an expression to the world or the message you share with the world by the way you live your life.
3. What you do is one part of your life purpose but even more important is how you live your life. It is your energy or attitude that determines much about what you attract in your life.
4: We are all living our life purpose to some extent. The trick is to know which paths to follow because they will broaden our opportunities to express our purpose and what to leave alone.
5: Your unique purpose is a continual unfoldment. To live that purpose follow what you Feel is best, but don't forget your head. Balancing your head and heart is an important key.
6: Take time to regroup your experiences, even daily or weekly, etc. Take in a retreat, a "time-out" for greater clarification. Learning from your experiences is an important part of regrouping.
7: Did you ever have the feeling of "I was meant to do that" or "I was born to do that!" Or, "I did it, I did it!" Well, that's it: you are getting a sense of your purpose.
8: Think about times in your life when you felt especially fulfilled and happy? Chances are, that had something to do with your life purpose! As you connect more within and review your life experiences, your life purpose will become clearer.
Four Keys Questions To Gain More From Your Experiences.
9: No one's life purpose gets fulfilled alone. Angels (and key people in our lives) help us as we move along our path.
Finally, here's a quote that, in an uncanny way, is related to life's purpose: "A person without humor is like a wagon without springs. It's jolted by every pebble on the road." — H. Bleecher.
So, while having a sense of humor isn't essential to your life purpose, it's a big help!

Police will be using newly introduced powers to tackle issues of anti-social behaviour in parts of Chaddesden.
In recent weeks, members of the public have reported instances of nuisance activity in and around Roosevelt Avenue.
As a result, police will be carrying out extra patrols in the area to identify those responsible and consider further action.
They will also be using newly introduced dispersal powers to move people on even if they only suspect them of being involved in anti-social behaviour.
Previously, dispersal orders were targeted at alcohol-related crime, disorder or anti-social behaviour.
Now, the new Section 35 Dispersal Power can be used to stop any antisocial behaviour or crime – not just that linked to alcohol.
Officers can also now deal with ASB or crime not only when they have occurred or are occurring, but also when they are likely to.
Children aged 16 or under can be removed to their home address or a place of safety, and anyone moved on under the powers can be prohibited from going back there for a certain period of time.
Anyone who refuses to comply with an order to leave will be committing and offence and could be arrested.
The dispersal power runs from 4pm on Friday, November 21 to 4pm on Sunday, November 23.
Police also want members of the public to report suspicious or nuisance activity to them on 101, or anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Do you need a quick answer to a general question? Then we recommend you visit the national Ask The Police web site.

The City of Victoria is facing a housing crisis – affordability, availability and livability are being compromised when residential properties are being transformed into a commercial commodity as short-term vacation rentals.
Victoria is now ranked the second least affordable place to live in Canada. The 2016 'Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey' indicates that a home in Victoria now has a price tag that is more than 6.9 times the median household income of the area. In their view, a home in this city is "seriously un-affordable" to many buyers and is certainly well beyond the financial means of most renters.
Victoria City Council currently supports the commercialization of residential property and City staff will issue a commercial 'transient accommodation' business license to property owners that want to operate short-term vacation rentals. City Council would rather protect the financial interest of real-estate speculators, developers and those that operate in the 'grey economy' rather than take the necessary action to remove 'transient accommodation' as a permitted use and help return more than 300 short-term vacation rentals in the downtown core to the long-term housing market.
The Citizen Coalition Against Short-Term Vacation Rentals opposes the commercialization of residential property and we ask that you support our initiative, by signing our petition, to remove 'transient accommodation' as a permitted use in the downtown core:
We, the undersigned, call on Victoria City Council to take action to stop the commercialization of residential properties and improve housing livability, availability and affordability through a city initiated 'right-zoning' of downtown residential properties by removing "transient accommodation" as a permitted use in residential properties, and return those dwelling units back into the local housing supply.

Tips For Growing Salvia
Salvia (commonly referred to as 'Sage') represent a huge family of ornamental plants that attract a variety of pollinators to their nectar rich flowers. They are resistant to deer and rabbits.
Western Native Salvia: : It is from the Western US that we find our most beautiful native salvia species. For attracting hummingbirds, there are no finer flowers than the Western native sages. Typically, this group of Salvia prefer 'lean' (not very fertile), well drained soils. They will grow in dry clay conditions in arid climates but will rot out in clay soils where there is more than about 15 to 18" of precipitation annually.
Western Salvia include:
To get established in USDA zones 5 & 6, Western Salvia (noted above) must be planted in spring or early summer, not in the fall. Protect your new plants over their first winter or two in your garden. Cover each plant with a generous pile of clean straw or pine needles. This allows the plant's crown (junction of root and branches) to mature and obtain maximum cold hardiness.

I purchased two Raspberry Delight Salvia to mix in with my Inferno Strip pre-planned garden last year. They arrived small but healthy, and took off like a flash. By mid-summer these first year plants were 36x36, and blooming profusely. The blooms attracted a huge variety of pollinators, including some beautiful black bumblebees that came every evening at dusk. I love these so much that I am removing some of the other plants in the inferno strip so I can add more Raspberry Delight.

Delivery was prompt, and the plant seemed healthy, if a bit small. It is supposed to be hardy but looks a bit small now coming back in Spring. Time will tell, though, and I trust it will grow and blossom nicely throughout summer. Beautiful color.

Salvia Raspberry Deight is gorgeous in the flowerbed.
By gardner
from Grand Coulee, WA
I like the deep green leaves against the bold raspberry blossoms. The humming birds, bees and butterflies like the plant. However, I am sad to say the plant I received last fall did not make it through the winter, so I ordered some replacements this spring and hope they can get established enough to winter over.

Brilliant flowers loved by hummingbirds and others
By SteveC
from Mountain View
See all my reviews
I have a bed of 13 Raspberry Delight sages just off of my patio. They look great most of the time. Winter in my zone 9 doesn't make them look great, but they spring back immediately. Spring and Fall are the heavy long blooming seasons. Summer has some blooms, but not like Spring and Fall.My RD sages are planted in very heavily amended clay soil. Although they tolerate amended clay soil, they are happier with less clay.

Long lasting pretty bloom. Grew fast on my hot/dry hillside.

Beautiful salvia
By CO transplant
from Florence, CO
I love this salvia. It has a long bloom period, (blooms it's 1st year), beautiful color, shape etc. I have one from 2 springs ago and one from last spring. They are both still only half their mature size but they are wonderful plants and they have survived winter(s), and don't seem attractive to deer or grasshoppers! I would very much like to order more!
A powerhouse performer with a minimum of fuss
By ranchorita
from Wichita County Texas
As with other specimens I've ordered from HCG, Raspberry Delight is a workhorse performer in my landscape. Today is April first, and after a mild winter, mine is already covered in a profusion of blooms. I have been a full-time student for several years, and I haven't had a lot of time for garden maintenance, and I've even failed to water for long stretches of time, and yet this salvia has thrived on the neglect, seemingly. It blooms beautifully, and the hummingbirds love it. The color is a glorious and intense raspberry, too, and I know it will continue to give me joy for years to come. I expect this will perform beautifully in any place with a similarly mild winter, hot/dry summer, and caliche clay soil.
good plant

planted in garden did not take off as fast as the Marashino but when it did had beautiful flowers
Good Rich Color
By Pat M.
from Tucson, AZ
Love the intense color, but feel the size is way too tall for my garden use next to a walkway. It is too tall and too wide . Should have planted a shorter Salvia like Diana or Ultra Violet. If any of this variety dies, I will replace with shorter Salvias.

Favorite Plant
By BT
from Boise, ID
I bought several in 2014 and absolutely love the bright pink flowers. It 'dances' in the breeze. Sadly, one didn't survive the 2014/2015 winter. So in 2015, I bought several more and added them throughout my garden. I think that this is my favorite plant for the long blooming, dancy look.

Say goodbye to long winded posts from the pages you follow on Facebook.
Facebook recently ran a test to see how they could create a better experience for their users. The results came back that more people created text status updates when they saw text status updates from their friends, but weren't persuaded to do so from the pages they follow.
Facebook is working to differentiate between text status updates from friends and pages. Facebook says this will help show people more content they want to see, making for a more enjoyable experience for the user.
Chris Turitzin, Product Manager for Facebook wrote, "Page admins can expect a decrease in the distribution of their text status updates, but they may see some increases in engagement and distribution for other story types."
Page admins are asking what type of content they should be posting on Facebook in order to make up for the decrease in views on their posts. Our best answer is to post less text and more embedded links and photos.
The best way to share a link is if you post a short sentence describing what it is the reader is going to click on, when you add the link to the status, there will be an image (if there is an image associated with the url) that pops up below the status update box, this includes the hyperlink that you just posted in the status box. Make sure to delete this link that you pasted into the status update box, as the below information links to the same url. This looks visually more appealing for the reader and easier for them to decided what to click on.
The content that you post on your news feed has to fit the audience that you are targeting. Otherwise, you will continue to see a drop in your status rankings and impressions.
For instance if you are a web developer, your followers might be businesses looking for a new website. If you are posting about how to make a beautiful bouquet of flowers, your followers will not only start to decline but your impressions on your posts will drop as well.
Facebook for Business
Small businesses might feel that these new updates to Facebook are decreasing the importance of having a Facebook page for their business. It is still an important platform to have and to be active on, there are still ways for businesses to be seen, they just have to post relevant information that interests their target market on a regular basis. Posting more photos and visually appealing updates is the way to go, but if you would like to reach more followers in a text heavy status, you can pay Facebook to boost that particular post.
There are a lot of changes happening in the social media world, NuWave Commerce keeps track of these updates for you and is here to help your business succeed in a noisy social media world.

The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC) and the Ladlad Party formed a partnership with the Philippine National Police Force to hold a gender and sexuality training program to sensitize police officers when they are dealing with LGBT people.
The first training session was organized and co-taught by Raymond Alikpala, the third congressional candidate for the Ladlad Party and author of Of God and Men: A Life in the Closet, a memoir in which he chronicles his personal coming out journey.
LGBT sensitization training is nowhere else in Asia, and the first ever session to educate police officers on how to process and treat LGBT citizens is seen as clearing a major hurdle towards fairness and clarity for the Philippine LGBT community.
"This kind of cooperation between the police and LGBT groups has never really happened before," said Alikpala in a recent interview with 429Magazine. "Through this new initiative, the police will gain a deeper understanding of and, it is hoped, more sympathy for the vulnerabilities of LGBT people, and this should have a positive impact on our community as a whole."
In the past, the problems between LGBT people and the police force has been a source of anger towards the establishment, with many hate crimes going unreported and many more not taken seriously when reported.
Not surprising, there have been cited incident of maltreatment and abuse especially to transgender people. The culmination towards this LGBT sensitization training has been long in the making and owes much of its success to the Ladlad Party, the world's only LGBT political party.
"I believe this is a major success, but it must be seen in the context of Ladlad's many years of advocacy for LGBT rights. Ladlad has made sure that the issue of illegal police raids of gay establishments is not swept under the rug," added Alikpala.
"As early as 2003, when our founder Danton Remoto intervened in the Cine Cafe raid and helped secure the release of 20 gay men from Camp Karingal, Ladlad had already been working to combat discrimination and abuses by the police committed against the LGBT community."
The Ladlad Party, or 'The Unfolding Party', is seeking three congressional seats in the upcoming Philippine elections on May 13.

Two days before the Iowa caucuses, Hillary Clinton's campaign announced the endorsement of more than two dozen African-American ministers from around the country.
The Democratic front-runner met with African-American faith leaders in Philadelphia on Wednesday and discussed issues including women's health, the economy, the Flint water crisis and criminal justice. She attended a private fundraiser in South Philadelphia afterwards.
"When I agreed to host the small gathering of African American clergy from around the country, I wasn't expecting to endorse Hillary Clinton," Rev. Mark Tyler of Pennsylvania, on the 28 ministers to announce support for Clinton, said in a statement. "I left that meeting convinced that she is the best person in this campaign season capable of serving as our next president. I believe that she is ready to lead and has all the requisite abilities."
Tyler said Clinton's plans for investing in historically black colleges and breaking down barriers for women helped sway his decision, along with her talk on economic disparity and funding public education.Read more on WashingtonExaminer.com

on June 11, 2014 :
I have read Regent, Feral, and Regal and highly endorse the trilogy. All good books with a great story. As further endorsement, I plan to read the first trilogy in the series. And I very likely will read other works by Rathbone. He presents the reader with works of quality - very few usage errors, good punctuation, and good structure of sentences and plots. He pleases the editor in me.

If you like playing either double-digit underdogs or double-digit chalk on the NCAA basketball odds, tonight's clash between Georgetown and Villanova is perfect for you.
Season: 30-29-2 (-1.90)
Villanova has been the most consistent team in the polls, Jay Wright's Wildcats never ranking below No. 4 and spending more time at No. 1 than anyone else. It has been anything but a consistent showing for John Thompson III and the Georgetown Hoyas. That's the backdrop for the first of two scheduled meetings between old rivals, FOX Sports 1 televising the tip a little past 7 PM (ET). Bookmaker is running with Villanova at -13, the total coming down a bit overnight to 142½.
The Wildcats are the only other team besides Gonzaga getting any 1st-place votes in either conventional polls, and enter play Tuesday with a 1½-game lead in the Big East race over Xavier, those two coming together in a key clash this Saturday. The Hoyas are well back in the pack three games under .500 in league action, and at this point will need a stunning run through the conference tourney to make the NCAA's.'Under' On 9-3 Streak For 'Nova Players
Georgetown (13-11 straight up, 7-15 against the odds) saw a short but solid run come to a screeching halt this past Saturday with a 68-66 overtime loss at home to Seton Hall. Favored by 3 on the NCAA basketball odds, the Hoyas clawed back to force the extra period but could not overcome an awful performance from beyond the arc in the end, hitting just one of their 19 tries from long-range
Villanova (22-12 SU, 11-11-1 ATS) has three wins since its second loss of the campaign at Marquette a couple of weeks back, but failed to cover any of them to haul a 5-game skid at the window into this one. Saturday's 92-79 decision over St. John's didn't miss a -17 burden by much, but stopped a 3-game 'under' run and was just the third game in 12 since Christmas to go past the totals.'Cats On Top In 7 Of Last 8 Meetings
The schools are colliding on the hardwood for the 79th time, Georgetown owning a 43-35 advantage with Villanova closing that gap with four consecutive wins in the series. The Wildcats covered all four of the victories, three of them coming last season, the last of which was in the opening round of the Big East Tournament.
Most of Villanova's home matchups in the rivalry have been played in Philadelphia proper at the Wells Fargo Center, tonight's tussle marking the first time in 11 years the clubs have gotten together at The Pavilion. Their clash in Philly last season ended with 'Nova on the right side of an 84-71 final, the Hoyas just getting the cover as 15 point 'dogs.
The spread represents the biggest underdog line for Georgetown this season, and by nearly 5 points over the largest up to now. Usually, I wouldn't hesitate to grab the Hoyas and this many points, but they've simply been too inconsistent to make that play, and 'Nova hasn't exactly been a cover machine either. Instead, I'm going to make my free college basketball pick on the final falling short of the total.Free NCAA Basketball Pick: Under 142½ Best Line Offered: at Bookmaker

I've NEVER been big on watching tv, but recently I've been getting into a lot more. I started watching Neflix's "13 Reasons Why" a couple of nights ago. Here's the plot (It's kind of hard to explain so if this makes no sense I'm sorry).
A teenage girl, Hannah Baker kills herself. She was fairly new to town and the school she was at, but grew to know lots of people. She didn't leave a note or explanation for her parents, just left. But she did leave something for some of the people she associated with. Cassette tapes. 13 reasons for 13 people to listen to. Everyone that receives the tapes had something to do with her death
The story is mainly focused on Hannah and Clay. Although Hannah is dead, there are many flashbacks of her being shown, and one tape is played throughout every episode. Clay, is the last one to receive the tapes. He listens to them. Very, very slowly might I add.
You get to learn about what everyone did to her, she was used, bullied, harassed and more.
So far I've only finished episode 6. The first episode was slightly boring, for the first half of it at least, and then it kinda came together towards the end. Now I'm pretty into the show, learning new things about people I thought were innocent. There's a lot about issues there are in today's society for kids and teenagers, but also a lot that are super exaggerated. It's really different, in a good way. It's depressing and happy and exiting and a whole bunch of emotions all in one. It keeps you curious and frustrated.
If you've seen the show at all, did you like it . Did you get into it?
Obviously I like the show, but I'm not super hooked, I just wanna know what Clay did to be on the tapes, and of course that's gonna be on one of the episodes more towards the end of the season. I really don't think there's gonna be a second season though, there'd need to be a whole new plot, a different show completely, that kinda sucks for the people obsessed, and there seems to be A LOT. The only reason I knew about the show was because of all the hype about it on social media.
Anyways, that's all for today, have a good one ☺

My husband has always known life with a chalet. He grew up having a summer one and a winter one. So of course, he wanted one for his family. He had been looking for years on a website that sells things and in November 2007 he found one that looked good and had a great price. "What do you think I should do?", he asked me. And I said go see it with your friend tomorrow. And he did and he bought it!
I never knew to what extent having a cabin would change our lives.....
Our cabin is 4 hours away (one pee stop included). Yes, yes, we wanted it closer (I wanted it within 2 hours), but we didn't want to pay too much for it. It is completely in the woods and right by a lake! Heaven!
But we have neighbors...
There are 2 other cabins on the lot. One of the other cabins belong to a couple that have been there for 40 years. The lady use to be in our cabin because it belonged to her father and when he got sick, he gave it to his eldest son. She built her own cabin with her husband 26 years ago. The 2 couples (her and her husband and her brother and his wife) got along great for years and then a stupid fight got the best of all of them. Our cabin was abandonned for 4 years, the brother moved away and refused to sell it to his sister so she could keep it in the family, bla bla bla...
The other cabin belongs to a young guy and his girlfriend(even younger than him). The guy is almost like another son to the couple that have been there for 40 years. So it is all like a family.
So then we show up and are greated by them this way..."so how much did you pay for it?" And we found out he had offered twice the amout we paid for it to his brother-in-law....oh man!
Anyway, that was then and it has all changed now. They are great people, very generous and love children. My children finally have a "papy" which is so great! They have helped us out so much to learn about cabin life.
We have had so many great experiences so far and are only starting our second summer. During the winter you can get out there but with a snowmobile. NOT MY THING! My husband did it in February with our son and the neighbors were all there. They had a great time!
We just got back from our first trip out there as a family a couple of days ago. It was great! We did fishing, caught some frogs, roasted some hot dogs and marshmellows and lots more. It was relaxing! No phone calls, no tv (mind you the neighbors have them, they have a generator, we don't want one!) My husband has solar powered the cabin for lights only and we have a wood stove, a propane fridge and stove/oven as well.
We have a quad, which is fun as well. In August we are surrounded by blueberries!!
We have seen bears, moose, porcupines, partridges, beavers, cranes, hummingbirds, hares and lots more!
I have discovered that I love chopping wood and love fishing and more. The next step is hunting. The husband and I have taken our initiation to hunting and rifles course together which was a lot of fun.
This year we want to bring family and friends out to see it and live the experience.
A Final Good Bye

It`s a pretty nice game,I do admit that!
And i`m probably going to harsh on a prototype,but we can`t forget that:
1)It`s full of grammatical errors and animation gliches
2)The choices you make don`t actually matter
and 3)The game is missing 2 full chapters,so we go from being teleported back in to the immediate end when we are left with little to know and really no change of outcome!
But don`t take my word for it,take the words of "3 weeks ago" me!

Are you looking for an agent who can get your car insurance done? Well, Erik LaChance is your guy. He is the insurance agent and the best one in NY. All your work related to insurance will be done in no time. You can know more about him at www.statefarm.com or visit him at his office in New York.
So why do you think it is important to get your vehicle insured? Before answering that question let us see what insurance really is?
Insurance is nothing but protection from any kind of financial loss. It is basically a type of risk management which is mostly used to get away from the risk of uncertain loss.
A particular entity providing insurance service is known as an insurer or an insurance company. The person who buys insurance is known as the policyholder or the insured. All the transactions made for insurance is based on the fact that the policyholder assumes a guaranteed and relatively known small loss by payment to the insurer. In exchange to this the insurer promises to reimburse the insured in any event of the loss covered. The loss occurred can be financial or even not. But it should be such that it can be reduced to financial terms. And it must compulsorily involve anything in which the policy holder has an insurable interest documented by possession, ownership, or even previously existing relationship.
The policy holder will receive a contract known as the insurance policy which will contain all the details such as conditions and situations under which the compensation will be made to the insured. The money which is charged by the insurer to the policy holder for covering all the set forth in the policy is known as the premium. If the policy holder comes across any kind of loss then the insured has to submit a claim to the insurer so that the loss is compensated by the insurance policy.
These insurances can be done for human beings, vehicles, property and so on. Vehicle insurance is also known as auto insurance or motor insurance is the insurance which is purchased for all types of vehicles such as trucks, cars, motorcycles, and various other road vehicles.
The main aim of this insurance is to provide financial security to vehicles against any kind of physical harm and/or bodily damage which results from traffic collisions. The specific rules and regulations of vehicle insurance vary from one place to another with change in legal regulations of that particular region. Sometimes, vehicle insurance also offers financial safety against the theft of a vehicle. At some places, it also provides financial protection from its sustenance from keying and other damages sustained by colliding with the stationary objects also.
So, it is very important to get your car insured so that you do not have to spill out a lot of cash from your pocket. Get your vehicle insurance today and live a peaceful and stress-free life without any worries.

Question about Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Router
I got a new internet company and therefore got a new modem and now i cannot re connect to the internet if i try to use my router. i went through all the steps with the software that came with it and still no luck.
Posted by hardcoreorr on
When the power goes out, I just have to unplug everything from the router and plug it all back in, left to right. Wait until 3 lights quit blinking, then try to acess internet. This usually works for me.
can you also provide us with the brand or model no. of the modem that you have from your new internet service provider?
does the net work without the router?
If your ISP is DSL based, try the following:
Click Start > Run. Type in cmd. (For Vista users click start, and search for cmd. Make sure to right click and select Run as Administrator).
When a black box pops up on the screen, type in ipconfig and press enter. Look for the words Default Gateway. Next to it may be 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. Whichever it is, type in that into your address bar of your web browser. A dioloug box pops up. Leave the username field blank and type in admin for the password. Wheen the page opens, scroll down until you see Local IP Address. Change is to 192.168.2.1. Scroll down and click save settings. Once that is done, log in the page again. You should be connected to the itnernet now, being that your cables are wired correctly.

Playing College Ball
The iPhone has made its way effectively into most entertainment fields so that you can not only check in on updates, but actually watch real programming right from your touchscreen. College football inspires some of the most fanatical devotion of any sport, and the iPhone allows for the perfect constant connectivity between the fan and their teams. The iTunes App Store has had its sports section developed over the last couple of years and now there are a number of great college football iPhone apps in this digital market, but there are also a disappointing number that offer only a small catalogue of features along with an unreasonable price. Take a look at a couple of the best college football iPhone apps that you can find for download from the App Store.

ESPN College Football Apps for the iPhone
If you are looking for an an ESPN college football app for the iPhone you are not going to find one that is all encompassing, but you will find a number of ESPN iPhone apps that will deal with college football in some way. ESPN Deportes Radio is a great option to listen to college football news on your iPhone, even though it will not be able to let you watch college football on the iPhone. ESPN ScoreCenter is again not an ESPN college football app specifically, but really will draw out the daily scores for almost all leagues including college football.

CBS Sports Mobile
CBS Sports Mobile may not be billed as a college football iPhone app, but it is one of the best ways to watch college football on the iPhone. In 2009 CBS Sports Mobile made big news when they announced that they would be streaming through their software so that users could watch college football on the iPhone, and this has been continued. The video content extends beyond just watching college football on the iPhone all the way to getting specific clips and in depth analysis that you would expect from television specific programming. Since CBS Sports Mobile is a more general sports iPhone app you can get a broad range of information, but it will often be enough of a college football iPhone app to satisfy users.

Yes, the Pentagon Actually Has Plans for When the Zombies Arrive
Their training plan details operations for real-life Dawn of the Dead.
When it comes to being prepared for anything, the pentagon wins pretty much hands down. It turns out they have a plan just in case of zombie apocalypse. No, really!
Business Insider reports the plan is laid out in an unclassified document known as CONPLAN 8888 and goes into detail on five phases of operation to deal with the zombie threat. You may be wondering why they would spend time and resources on something so silly. CONPLAN 8888 was actually developed as a training tool for military strategists.
"This plan was not actually designed as a joke," a disclaimer in the document states. "During the summers of 2009 and 2010, while training augmentees from a local training squadron about the JOPP, members of a USSTRATCOM component found out (by accident) that the hyperbole involved in writing a 'zombie survival plan' actually provided a very useful and effective training tool."
Using the zombie apocalypse as a framework also helps them to create a theoretical plan for resolving political fallout without someone in the public mistaking it for a real operation.
Theoretical operation or training exercise, there are 31 pages to sift through if you're bored. And it's actually a pretty entertaining read in places. There is a summary of the various kinds of zombie threats with everything from traditional pathogenic zombies to space zombies and even chicken zombies identified as potential undead threats.
CONPLAN 8888 also gives a brief overview of offensive and defensive operations to respond and eliminate the zombie threat in an effort to restore order. The plans also discuss how a potential virus might spread, how zombies may be affected by weather, factors important to human survival and even thoughts on legal considerations against the undead.
Reading through CONPLAN 8888, much of the information regarding a real-life "Dawn of the Dead" is definitely tongue-in-cheek. It may be completely ridiculous, but it never hurts to be prepared for anything and everything right?

Kick It up a Notch by Blending Your Own Spices [PICS]
If you're a grilling machine this summer, learning how to blend your own spices can really change your game.
Ever since humans started grilling meats over fire, we've been looking for ways to spice it up a little. While cooking or grilling with single spices has been common for much of that time, spice blends didn't gain commercial speed until the East India Company and the subsequent British Raj between 1757 and 1947.
The beauty of blending your own spices is that you can slowly tweak the recipe to develop your own signature flavor. If you think about it, about 90 percent of the spice blends available commercially are the same, and only minor differences separate them.
Why not just invent your own bold flavors to secure your place in grilling history?
What Are Spices?
First, let's discuss what a spice is in the first place. According to the Food and Drug Administration, a spice is defined as:
Aromatic vegetable substances, in the whole, broken, or ground form, whose significant function in food is seasoning rather than nutrition. They are true to name and from them no portion of any volatile oil or other flavoring principle has been removed.
In stores, you'll often find spices minced, diced, crushed, cut and sifted, ground, granulated, or whole. Different combinations of these types provide a spice blend with its own unique taste, aroma, and visual appeal.
While spices can include almost every part of certain plant species, the following list breaks them down into the most common varieties you could find.
Seeds – Typically, seeds used in spice blends are the seeds of aromatic herbs. The seeds contain similar flavors as the herbs, but also their own distinct ones as well. They are commonly used in sausage-making and brines, and may be used whole, ground, or broken in your blended recipes.
A great way to really enhance the flavor is to lightly toast your seeds in a non-oiled sauté pan. Once you start smelling the aroma, take them off the heat so you don't burn them. Common seed spices include coriander, peppers, fennel, and mustard.
Herbs – Herbs typically consist of plant leaves with bold flavors. While they can be used fresh, you can also dry your herbs first and use them in spice blends. They can get bitter when used in grilling at high heats though, so one way to avoid that is to infuse the flavors into oil.
Toss the herbs or your blend into your favorite cooking oil, and then rub the meat you're going to grill. If you use indirect heat, the flavors won't get bitter. Common herbs include basil, cilantro, oregano, rosemary, and thyme.
Bulbs – Onions and garlic are two of the most common bulb spices. They add a little sweetness to spice blends, but can easily be overused. Make them a minor component of your blended recipe at first, and add as needed.
Berries – You might think it is a seed, but peppercorns are actually dried berries from the Piper nigrum plant. You can grind them finely into traditional black pepper, or crush them slightly to be used in marinades.
Either way, peppercorns add a bright and bold flavor to whatever you're grilling. They combine well with citrus, garlic, spices, and even seeds (especially coriander).
Salt – Salt is essential in grilling and comes in either sea salt or earth salt varieties. It is a mineral found around the world, and each type imparts different flavors to your grilled meats.
Some companies are even smoking their salts first now, so you can get a little more smoky flavor into your blends.
Spices – Most people associate spices with baking. No wonder, as this group includes cinnamon, cloves, and mace. However, these items can also be added to marinades or rubs with great effect.
Spices are common in tropical regions and often critical for ethnic dishes (think curries and masalas). However, just like the bulbs, you need to make sure they are minor flavor enhancements, and not the dominant flavor.
Capsicums – This family of spices are what the "spice" is all about. Named after the oil capsaicin found in chili peppers, these can be mild and sweet all the way to downright hot. Either way, they are essential in most barbecue rubs. Paprika, particularly, adds intensity, depth, and a rich red color to barbecued ribs.
Citrus – The outermost peels of citrus fruits (not the bitter white peel underneath this layer) add a brightness and tang to spice blends. You've no doubt used lemon pepper on chicken or steak before, but have you ever thought about using lime or orange?
Replace the lemon peel for one of these and make a lime pepper for fish dishes, or orange pepper on a barbecue chicken.
Spice Blend Recipes
Now that you know the various components of a spice blend, how do you actually get started? First, realize that it's very difficult to make mistakes. If you add too much of something, just add more of the other spices mentioned above to balance it out.
For combining the spice blend, you have two options. The most basic is to grind them first in a mortar and pestle, and combine them in a plastic bag or container. For larger quantities or if you are in a time crunch, you can blend them all together at once in a food processor or spice grinder.
For inspiration, here are four basic spice blends developed by Chef Tim Ziegler that you can create at home right now. Feel free to tweak them to your tastes, or use as a baseline to develop your own.
Herbs de Provence
- 1 Tablespoon (T) Rosemary
- 1 T Basil Leaves
- 1 T Mediterranean Oregano
- 1 T Marjoram Leaves
- 1 T Thyme Leaves
- 1 teaspoon (t) Lavender Ultra-Super-Blue
Gently mix the herbs together until well blended. You may add parsley, tarragon, sage, and/or other herbs to this recipe. You may rub the blended herbs directly onto fish, chicken, or lamb, but I usually add 1 T of garlic, 1 T of Maldon Sea Salt, and 1 T of capers to the above blend and sprinkle evenly over a salmon fillet.
I add 1/4 of a thinly sliced red onion and then 1 cup of white wine and 4 T of butter onto a 1/4 sheet pan and cook on a medium hot grill to create a wonderfully different outdoor meal. Cook until done — usually about 20 minutes.
Barbeque Rib Rub
- 1 T of Ground Ancho Chili
- 1 T of Smoked Paprika
- 1 T of Brown Sugar
- 1 T of Maldon Sea Salt (Kosher salt is optional)
- 1 t of Cumin Seed, Ground (toasting is optional)
- 1 t of Coriander Seed, Ground (toasting is optional)
- 1 t of Mustard Powder
- 1/2 t of Black Pepper, Freshly Ground
- 1/4 t of Cayenne Pepper (optional)
I prefer to cook my ribs in a smoker rather than on a grill, but you can do this on a grill if you use indirect heat and cook low and slow, turning often (225 degrees or lower). I also put my ribs in a raised rack pan to keep them from direct contact with the metal. I cook my ribs for 4-6 hours. Paint the rub on heavily.
You may add this entire rub to 1/2 cup of olive oil to create a paste and then apply liberally to all facets of the ribs. This recipe will work well with either beef or pork ribs but I recommend pork.
Steak Seasoning
- 2 T of Four Pepper Blend (Black, White, Green, and Pink), Freshly Ground
- 1/2 T Smoked Sea Salt (I use Alder Wood Smoked Sea Salt)
- 1 T of Dried Minced Garlic
- 1 T of Dried Minced Onion
- 1 T of Coriander Seed, Ground (Toasted)
- 1 t of Cumin Seed, Ground (Toasted)
- 1 t of Freshly Zested Orange Peel
- 1/4 t of Dill Seed, Ground
Blend the spices thoroughly. Sprinkle liberally on steaks, burgers, or chops.
Burger Spice
- 1 T of Granulated Garlic
- 1 T of Black Pepper, Freshly Ground
- 1 T of Dried Parsley
- 1 T of Maldon Sea Salt
- 1 t of Smoked Paprika
- 1/8 t of Cayenne Pepper
Blend the spices thoroughly. Mix into and sprinkle liberally on burgers.
To conclude, spice blends can be as unique as yourself. Make them bold and bright, smoky and sweet, salty and tangy, etc. Don't just settle for commercial blandness.
Invent your own signature style so that this grilling season will be memorable for your family and guests. Never stop experimenting!

Conflicts of the 21st century have defied most conventional military and political approaches designed to assist with their resolution. Private entities, religious, nationalist and social groups, as well as rising states represent new challenges for the policies that intend to resolve the disputes of our time.
During the first term, our Policy Centre will focus on Private Military Contractors. Conditions in conflict zones are drastically changing and national armies are no longer capable of satisfying the security requirements necessary for peace and stability. As politically-neutral, professional, and cost-effective entities, PMCs have filled security gaps and lessened the burdens carried by military forces. Yet their arrival has proven to be quite controversial, with the actions of firms such as Blackwater and DynCorp in Iraq raising questions over regulations and accountability. Similarly, the use of firms such as the Morgan Security Group in Syria has underlined issues of secrecy surrounding the tasks and deaths of PMC operators. Considering these factors we aim to discuss and devise policy suggestions on the future role, applicability, and status of Private Military Contractors.
Throughout the second term, we aim to investigate new approaches towards conflict and post-conflict resolution with a focus on Syria. Defined by the involvement of countless global players, groups with territorial, nationalist ambitions and socio-political fractions, Syria has forced us to rethink our approach towards civil conflicts. Western nations no longer dominate the battlefield but are forced to discuss diplomatic and military efforts with contending powers. It is foreseeable that future conflicts will involve multiple powerful actors with respective interests, and policy towards conflict must respect these conditions. Our efforts will focus on producing a policy which addresses the necessary political and military cooperation between actors, the question of future governance of Mr. Assad's government and the involvement of ethnic, social and religious groups in the conflict.
An applicable approach towards future conflicts requires us to understand intricate details of current developments in conflict zones. This year, in our policy papers, we seek to delve into the matter placing particular focus upon whether the provision of security in war zones have become privatized and how political actors that hold different visions of governance could potentially cooperate in conflict resolution.
If you are interested in our vision and want to contribute to our work through devising policy and research papers, please do not hesitate to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We look forward to hearing from you!

"At the risk of committing a capital offense, let me state what should be obvious: American history was made by white males, who were overwhelmingly Christian,"
"White males established our nation, forged our identity, fought and won our wars and built our economy. Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and the Wright Brothers didn't just identify as men, but actually were men."
The mutation of our paper money represents the triumph of symbolism over substance. One nation under God, RIP. Welcome to the tribal America of the 21st. century.
The Democratic Party has destroyed the black family (73% of African-Americans are born out-of-wedlock). Its latest big idea is giving sexual predators access to ladies' rooms, in the name of equality. But, it's putting the face of a black woman on a $20 bill.
Until the current mixed-race occupant of the White House, every president was a male Caucasian – as were overwhelming majorities of Congress and every Supreme Court Justice until 1967.
And it was white males who ended slavery in 1865 and gave women the vote in 1920.
The faces on our currency reflect the reality of American history. They represent individual achievement, not interest-group pandering. George Washington isn't on a $1 bill because he was a farmer. Lincoln's face doesn't grace a fiver because he was born in poverty. On a $10 note, Alexander Hamilton doesn't represent immigrants who were born out of wedlock.

Petition - Eliminate Human TraffickingThe Canadian Government is working in conjunction with the United Nations to eliminate Human Trafficking. However there are many victims still being smuggled over the border into Canada and held against their will. It is still a growing problem here. Human Trafficking has been dubbed "Modern Day Slavery" by the United Nations; it is a fast growing industry world-wide. Former U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, stated that Human Trafficking mainly affects women and girls. Most of these trafficked victims are under 18 years of age, and are typically poor, and vulnerable to exploitation. The traffickers lure their victims with false promises of work to help their families. Most often, the victims are removed from their countries and placed in strange new surroundings where they have no knowledge of how to escape their situation with the pimps or organized crime organizations. The victims are beaten and brutalized to prevent them from leaving.
Former Secretary of State Clinton spoke about a young child at a rescue center who had been sold to a brothel and maimed by her captor because she would fight back to prevent the inevitable sexual assaults. The brothel owner stabbed her in the eye to stop her from fighting back. This little girl and so many other children experience severe abuse and they need our help today to get out of their horrible situation.
Human Trafficking needs to be stopped now as it is poisoning our Country, Global Society, and the many victims fallen to this crime. When we allow sex ads to recruit customers and perpetuate the need for sex slaves, we are allowing the criminals to have access to these defenseless women and children. Massage Parlors are typically run by organized criminals. Our government needs to ban the advertisements that make the laws that allows the operations of such businesses successful, as they pose a threat to innocent victims of trafficking.
Attorney General of Canada
Honourable Robert Nicholson
Minisiter of Foreign Affairs
Dear Ministers,
I am writing on behalf of the thousands of women and children who are being trafficked yearly throughout Canada and particularly Vancouver, British Columbia. Since Vancouver is a major port of entry from Asia, many victims are trafficked into Vancouver from the Philippines and Thailand. The United Nations on Human Trafficking has warned the Canadian Government regarding this problem. While we remain mindful of this horrible circumstance, many of these victims are still being sold into prostitution and are defenseless against their perpetrators. These victims are faced with life and death decisions if they don't comply with the pimps that force them to participate in criminal activities.
I am asking that the Canadian Government take the necessary steps to ensure that these countries tighten up their borders and prosecute the criminals who smuggle and exploit innocent women and children. Should these countries not comply with issued warnings, the next step to take is to impose sanctions on these countries.
In addition, I am concerned that online erotic websites and newspaper listings of adult classified are a breeding ground for these criminal activities to continue. Since erotic ads are not illegal, trafficked women and children are sold into prostitution and are forced to work in these organizations. If our government bans these ads from the public, the criminals will lose business.
If all these countries continue to loosely monitor their borders and erotic listings are legally permitted, many women and children will continue to lose their lives to violence. I urge you to help Canada break this legacy of abuse.
Thank you

Between a Rock and a Hard Place
Some days you just can't win. Today felt like one of those days.
My problem today was pretty much all work. Which seems to be the case a lot of days lately. Which seems quite familiar. Which is because I've been here before, with my last job.
Told you, I can't win.
A part of me feels whiny, like I just can't be happy with "good enough." Then again, a part of me wonders if that means something is missing. Something big.
Don't get me wrong, I do like my job. But I don't like all of it, and I don't know if I love it. I'm not naive; I know I won't always like my job, but I feel as if I should like it more often than not. That's where I'm struggling.
I love the work I do and working with my students, but I hate being micromanaged.
I love being challenged to push myself, but I hate unrealistic expectations being put upon me.
I feel like I should be happy, after all, I'm not waitressing anymore and I have a decent job, decent hours, and benefits. But I also don't want to settle on decent. I want amazing. I want more.
Who really knows where I'll end up. For now, I'm keeping an open mind - if I've learned anything in the past year it's that we usually land right where we need to be. In the meantime, I'm going to do my best to keep my head up and my eyes open for the next adventure.

Several recent deadly and destructive derailments have drawn greater attention to using railroads to ship crude oil, but a new NBC News investigation found that federal regulators have known about the risks for some time.
Overloading trains and mislabeling tanks are among the problems that officials flagged months before the deadly crash at Lac-Mégantic, Quebec in July 2013 according to U.S. government report obtained by NBC. It's unclear if the report was shared with Canadian railroad regulators.
A team of hazardous materials inspectors with the U.S. Federal Railroad Administration visited dozens of rail facilities in North Dakota in the fall of 2011 and again in June 2012. The officials found overloaded tank cars to be a "major problem," and noted that it was caused by the fact that many of the truckers who transport the crude from well sites to the trains lacked the ability to effectively measure the weight of the load entering the tank cars.
Inspectors said there is a regional shortage of rail tank cars. Their reports even cited one company that transloads oil from trucks into trains that was found shipping the product in tank cars that weren't up to code. Pressure on the loading company to ship the oil, according to the report, "was more than the risk of failure in transportation or discovery by FRA."
During a second round of visits to facilities in North Dakota in 2012, inspectors discovered that some companies had also mislabeled the oil as less flammable than it really was. NBC explains:
Companies handling relatively dangerous crude were shipping it under labels meant for more stable, less flammable crude, inspectors found. Paperwork at the facilities showed the companies were dealing with crude designated as Packing Group I or II, designations for high or moderate risk materials.
But inspectors noted the oil was going out as Packing Group III -- the lower-risk designation often used for traditional, heavier crude. Inspectors noted that the designation could "affect the selected emergency response and even the type of package required or tank car in this case," regulators wrote.
The Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration issued an alert on January 2 stating, "recent derailments and resulting fires indicate that the type of crude oil being transported from the Bakken region may be more flammable than traditional heavy crude oil."
North Dakota has seen a boom in oil and gas production from the Bakken formation, which underlies part of the state (along with portions of Montana, Manitoba and Saskatchewan). More than 10 percent of U.S. oil production now comes from this rock formation and the hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil produced every day in North Dakota exceed the capacity of existing pipeline infrastructure. Many oil producers have turned to rail to ship their crude to refineries. Most U.S. oil pipelines run north-south, but the Bakken producers' light crude usually fetches a higher price at markets on the east or west coast, InsideClimate News explains.
Over 99.99 percent of hazardous material rail shipments reach their destinations safely, according to the railroad industry, but the oil-by-rail boom has brought several notable, and fiery, crashes in recent years.
In July 2013, a 72-car oil train from North Dakota derailed and exploded in the small town of Lac-Mégantic, Quebec killing 47 people and setting off a debate on railroad safety.
Another train derailment in North Dakota last month spilled about 400,000 gallons of crude.
There have also been numerous other incidents involving a class of rail tank car known as DOT-111. The DOT-111 -- a giant, black, pill-shaped tanker that can carry 34,500 gallons of oil, chemicals, fuel or other liquids -- represents 69 percent of all U.S. rail tank cars. Accidents are not unheard of for these cars, and the federal government has known about the DOT-111's "inadequacy" for transporting certain materials since at least 1991.
In September, the Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Administration announced it was seeking public comments for a new set of rules to improve the safety of railroad tank cars.
The Association of American Railroads -- an industry trade group representing major freight carriers, Amtrak and some commuter railroads -- announced in November that it supports efforts to improve the puncture resistance of new DOT-111s, make retrofits to older tank cars and phase-out those cars that cannot be retrofitted, among other changes.
"The industry, if they are motivated, can undertake preventative steps that will enhance the safety of the movement of these materials across the country," U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said this week following a closed-door safety meeting with oil and railroad executives, according to the Associated Press.
