UFC 200: Cormier vs. On July 9 jones 2 can be an forthcoming combined fighting techinques event that'll be kept https://ufc200i.com, 2016 at T-Mobile Area in NEVADA, Nevada.
The event will be the first that the business has managed at T-Mobile Industry, which exposed in Apr 2016. It will require place through the UFC's gross annual International Fight Week and mark the next time the UFC will host three events in consecutive days.
A welterweight rematch between your Ultimate Fighter 5 success and former light and portable name challenger Nate Diaz and current UFC Featherweight Champ Conor McGregor was at first likely to headline the function. The pairing achieved early in the entire year at UFC 196 recently. McGregor was likely to challenge UFC Lightweight Champion Rafael dos Anjos, but dos Anjos pulled out due to a broken foot only 11 days prior to the event. Diaz eventually changed him and the bout was shifted to the welterweight department. Diaz triumphed in the struggle via rear-naked choke in the next round.
Everything evolved on Apr 19: in an abrupt turn of situations, after McGregor tweeting a meant retirement living, the UFC released that he was drawn from the function and an upgraded for him has been sought. UFC Chief executive Dana White clarified that McGregor's removal was related to his refusal to come quickly to a press seminar that week, because "he was in Iceland training and didn't want to wreck his prep for the combat". McGregor released a declaration two days and nights later, claiming he's not retired and that he wanted the UFC to permit him to target more on the battle preparation this time around, as he seems he lost his concentration during the marketing obligations going back fight. An ultimatum was presented with by him, stating he's ready for the function and would come for a planned NY press convention, but in the event that's insufficient, he "doesn't really know what to state". A written report said that the UFC made a decision to cancel the struggle indeed later, in that which was rumored to be always a $10 million salary for McGregor
On 27 April, the UFC officially declared the new headliner as a UFC Light Heavyweight Tournament unification rematch between current champ Daniel Cormier and ex – champ Jon Jones, who's the existing interim champ also. In January 2015 with Jones defending his title via unanimous decision the pairing satisfied recently at UFC 182. After that victory, Jones was stripped of the title and suspended indefinitely from the UFC regarding the a hit-and-run incident that he was involved with. Cormier substituted him and continued to beat Anthony Johnson at UFC 187 to get the vacant name. Their rematch was expected to take place at UFC 197 originally, but Cormier drawn out three weeks prior to the event anticipated to damage and was substituted by Ovince Saint Preux, in what became an interim subject bout. Jones continued to beat Saint Preux by unanimous decision and triumphed in the interim name.
T-Mobile World shall variety the much predicted event UFC 200, which is the 363rd overall in UFC record.
On 4 June, through the UFC 199 main greeting card broadcast, it was released that ex – UFC Heavyweight Champ Brock Lesnar will go back to the UFC for his first combat since Dec 2011. He'll face the 2001 K-1 World Grand Prix success and previous interim subject contender Draw Hunt.
Because of McGregor's experiments beyond his section, an interim UFC Featherweight Tournament bout between past champ Jos? Aldo and past lightweight champ Frankie Edgar is likely to take place as of this event. This is a rematch also, as Aldo defended his name against Edgar at UFC 156 in 2013 via unanimous decision.
A UFC Women's Bantamweight Tournament bout between current champ Miesha Tate and top contender Amanda Nunes is also expected because of this event.
The cards is also likely to include a heavyweight bout between past two-time champ Cain Travis and Velasquez Browne, a middleweight bout between previous Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champ Gegard Derek and Mousasi Brunson, and a welterweight bout between previous UFC Welterweight Champ Johny Hendricks and THE BEST Fighter: Team Jones vs. Team Sonnen victor Kelvin Gastelum.
A compact bout between Joe Lauzon and THE BEST Fighter 1 champion and former light name challenger Diego Sanchez was at first booked for UFC 180. However, the bout was terminated scheduled to both fighters being wounded. The attack was rescheduled because of this event. Also, another handful of lightweight bouts between former PRIDE Lightweight Champion Takanori Gomi and Jim Miller, as well as Sage Enrique and Northcutt Mar?n are anticipated to occur as of this event.
Also on the cards you will see a women's bantamweight bout between previous title challenger Kitty Zingano and THE BEST Fighter: Team Rousey vs. Team Tate champion Julianna Pe?a, and a bantamweight rematch between previous UFC Bantamweight Champ T.J. Raphael and dillashaw Assun??o. The pairing first achieved at UFC Attack Night time: Maia vs. In October 2013 shields, when Assun??o earned an in depth bout via divide decision. Source: Wikipedia

As you know I've been asked to go for constant hair treatment by Juno,
reason being I was straightening my hair too often (almost everyday to bee exact), because my hair doesn't look nice after blow drying them.
it looks something like that after being blow dried, it was too hideous looking to take of photo of myself with broomstick hair, but yeah, u know what i mean.
So Juno texted me one day and told me that I can try out something new that he brought in and I will be the first consumer to use it (:
I wanted to rebond my hair because even though I did multiple hair treatments at Artica, it will last for about 1-2 weeks before my constant straightening dries up my hair all over again.
I didnt want to keep going back to Juno and I feel bad for spoiling his work :(
I went to Artica on 16 August to try out this new treatment with straightening formula name Trioxxy, the secret to hair repair and protection!
now now, you must be thinking, ANOTHER TREATMENT.
Please take time to read what I'm about to share with you all ok. I was introduced to a new level of hair technology. Now this hair treatment is unlike any other keratin hair treatment u receive, I've mentioned before after a few hair wash and contestant damage to your hair, the treatment effect wears off and u need to go back to the salon and spend money to do another round of treatment.
So what does the above picture explain? It means, if you hair is dead straight, you will have straight forward effect, if u hav natural curls, you can straighten your hair too with this treatment!
or if u have really curly hair and u want soft waves, this is the treatment to do!
Rebonding can straighten your hair, yes. BUT!
it damages your hair like mad, thats where u experience very dry, fried hair ends which hair stylist will recommend u to snip them off.
But Trioxxy hair treatment, not only can straighten my hair, but its a hair treatment that can last up to 5 months!
let my hair "bake" for about 20-30mins before it was washed off!
really smooth and shiny hair!
this doesnt end here! (:
you must be thinking, my hair will turn bad again after a few wash right.
heres my Hair Diary and the pictures taken are right after hair wash + blow dry. NO STRAIGHTENING at all I swear!
Day 2
Day 3
I have no make up on my face, but the focus is my hair!
please see that there is zero frizziness!
Day 5
I was getting emotional because I'm really very happy that my hair is still in great condition, I saved alot of time preparing to go out!
Day 7
This was taken last weekend, after 6 hair wash.
still no frizziness, hair still soft, especially hair ends, it is still very smooth!
I will continue to take pictures of my hair and share with you the condition of my hair!
Of course, this hair treatment will cost more than other hair treatment, price starts from $399 onwards.
I really feel its super worth the money, imagine u pay $150 for hair rebonding, and every month u go for hair treatment that cost u $80 each time.
$150 + (5 x $80) = $550 --> i am already quoting the cheapest hair treatment & rebonding price here.
If u can spend $399 on a hair treatment that can last for 6 months. what for pay $150 to spoil your hair, and $400 to treat it back when it only last for 2 weeks max right?
Artica is located at Far East Plaza, #04-64.
You can SMS/call Juno at 9022 3918 or call 6836 2891 for enquiry or appointment!!

Here, we present the Anker PowerCore 20100 Power Bank to solve an issue almost everyone has had an unfortunate experience with, a dead battery. Most people have more than one portable device that requires charging whether it be for an iPhone, tablet, kindle or a smart watch.
The PowerCore offers an alternative to a conventional plug socket and offers an affordable, portable power bank to charge a variety of different devices. Whether it be you're off to a festival, camping or a long journey this PowerCore can be an incredibly useful gadget to keep with you at all times to give you that charge you desperately need.
The PowerCore is a very attractive portable charger encased in an aluminium case with a matte black finish with a weight of approximately 455 grams. At first glance, it is visible that the PowerCore comes equipped with two separate USB ports that each supply the equivalent of around 2.4 amps to each device connected including an in/out USB-C charging port.
As well as this, it comes equipped with 10 LED's built into the unit that represent the level of charge within the PowerCore, when each of these are lit they represent around 1,300 mAh of power that is available to charge the device of your choice. This inclusion is a recent update on the PowerCore as it used to have 4 LED's but we prefer this more precise indicator among similar units tested.
In terms of size the PowerCore comes in at 184 x 62 x 24 mm which we have found is just too large for a standard sized pocket. If you're looking for a Power Bank that is mobile and easy to store in your pockets then you may want to look into some of the smaller banks that Anker provide, however for storage in a bag or a laptop case this PowerCore is ideal. Provided with the PowerCore is a carry case made from a mesh/netted material which is very convenient when trying to protect your unit from annoying scratches or an all-in-one storage unit for your PowerCore and necessary cables.
In terms of specifications, the power core has an ultra-high 20,100 mAh capacity and this is capable of charging an iPhone 6S seven times, Galaxy S6 five times and an iPad mini twice which we think is pretty impressive for its size. In terms of recharging, it is stated on the website that the PowerCore "in spite of its massive capacity, PowerCore can be fully recharged in about 8 hours when combined with a 2.4A charger and the included USB to USB-C cable-up to 20% faster than a typical charger of similar capacity."
The PowerCore supports a maximum output of 6A and when only one of the USB outputs is in use it can output around 2.4A as previously stated. If you're looking for a high-capacity battery that can fully charge a 12-inch MacBook then the Anker PowerCore is what you're looking for with it providing an impressive 5V/2.4A USB-C charging that can be activated by pressing the Power Wheel.
These unique capabilities found in this unit are integrated through the smart-charging PowerIQ and current-stabilising VoltageBoost technologies that are included with the PowerCore. This provides your device with the fastest possible charge of 2.4A per port that will fully charge your device in no time.Order from Amazon

We are still accepting applications for the Architecture MArch for entry in 2017. To apply for this programme, complete our online application form.
Architects and the designers of our surroundings are the driving force behind the design and development of our built environment. Whether they are designing new buildings, giving a new lease of life to existing ones, developing urban spaces, landscapes or contemporary interiors, architects have a profound influence on all our lives.
Kent's Master of Architecture (MArch) programme is a two-year (known as Stage 4 and Stage 5) full-time undergraduate professional programme focused on architectural design. It forms the second part of the UK's traditional five-year continuum of professional undergraduate education in architecture leading, for graduates with the required exemptions from professional examinations, toward registration in the UK as an 'Architect'.
Kent's MArch architecture programme is validated by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), and the award is prescribed by the Architects' Registration Board (ARB) as giving exemption from Part 2 of their professional examinations. The MArch positions its graduates well to continue after the degree to a Part 3 programme in architecture and professional practice.
Graduates from the MArch are able to take the ARB/RIBA Part 3 examination after amassing a minimum of 24 months recorded office-based work experience, 12 months of which must be in the UK.
Term abroad option
There is the opportunity to spend a term abroad in the spring of Stage 4 or autumn of Stage 5. Possible destinations include schools of architecture in France (Lille), Italy (Rome) and the USA (Virginia).
Going abroad as part of your degree is an amazing experience and a chance to develop personally, academically and professionally. You experience a different culture, gain a new academic perspective, establish international contacts and enhance your employability.
You are expected to adhere to any progression requirements to proceed to the Term Abroad. The Term Abroad is assessed on a pass/fail basis and will not count towards your final degree classification. To find out more, please see Go Abroad.
Think Kent video series
In this talk, Dr Timothy Brittain-Catlin from the Kent School of Architecture examines new ways of writing and talking about buildings and asks if being a critical failure in architecture really matters.
About Kent School of Architecture (KSA)
Research at Kent School of Architecture achieves excellence in both the history and theory of architecture and in sustainable urban, peri-urban and environmental design. School staff have design expertise and specialist knowledge; they are at the forefront of current architectural issues, including sustainability, technology, professional practice and research. Our staff are active at academic and professional conferences, both nationally and internationally, and appear and publish in local and national media. The School promotes innovative and interdisciplinary research, emphasising sustainable design.
Much of the project work involved in the Kent School of Architecture is located on 'live' sites in the local region, using real clients and engaging challenging issues. Students in all stages of the school have been introduced to real urban and architectural design challenges in Lille, Margate, Folkestone, Dover, Rye, Chatham and, of course, Canterbury. Much of this work involves liaising with external bodies, such as architects, planners, council and development groups.
Independent rankings
Architecture at Kent was ranked 7th in The Guardian University Guide 2017.
Architecture students who graduated from Kent in 2015 were the most
successful in the UK at finding work or further study opportunities (Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education survey).
Course structure
The following modules are indicative of those offered on this programme. This listing is based on the current curriculum and may change year to year in response to new curriculum developments and innovation.
On most programmes, you study a combination of compulsory and optional modules. You may also be able to take 'wild' modules from other programmes so you can customise your programme and explore other subjects that interest you.
Stage 4
|Modules may include
AR538 - Cultural Context
The module's objective is to promote independent and critical thinking as well as advancing research skills. The module focuses on methodologies of research in the context of the cultural discourse and architectural theory from the mid-twentieth century onwards. This module will constitute an introduction to research methodologies leading to an understanding of how different constituencies of society view contemporary culture. A series of lectures will introduce different research approaches and methods. The assignment will comprise an investigation into a particular methodology or approach as assigned.Read more
AR540 - Employability
This module will have a taught lecture, seminar and tutorial format. Students use their parallel design module (or exceptionally a design project already completed in a previous MArch design module) as vehicle for a production of a detailed report in which they assess their design of a building as though it were a live project, in terms of appointment, procurement, planning permission, statutory permissions, fee biding, information scheduling, resourcing and cost etc.Read more
AR546 - Technology 4
The aim of the module is to promote a comprehensive understanding of sustainability in which cost factors and environmental impact are considered inextricably bound into its definition. The lecture course covers the following areas: architecture from a global perspective, research methodologies, sustainability criteria in construction and environmental design, benchmarking and legislation in technical design, integration of structure, services and passive environmental features, reviewing the performance of technical design solution, the passive house and its technical challenges, technology from socio-cultural and economic, financial and cost control perspectives.
Students can elect one of two thematic approaches and demonstrate that they have met the Learning Outcomes through a written Case Study essay and verbal presentation of its content to a panel of critics, as a critical evaluation of the effectiveness of technologies in one or a series of buildings:
Option 1: Technologies and their application in architecture (Design)
Students investigate the challenges associated with the application of particular technologies in actual buildings with integrating construction and environmental design strategies. Students are required to analyse how cost factors shape the design process, both in regards to construction cost, specification strategy, and in relation to operational energy use in the post-construction phase.
Option 2: Technology in the cultural context (Policy)
Students are required to consider how the wider cultural context of regulation, statutory legislative frameworks, procurement mechanisms, national economic incentives, and voluntary certification schemes all have an impact on building technology. Students develop an advanced understanding of design, technical factors, financial and cost control mechanisms which operate before, during and after the development of a project.Read more
AR836 - Design 4A
This module involves a consideration of design at an urban scale and is taught through a Unit system with individual Unit briefs interpreting this specification. Each Unit brief will offer the opportunity to analyse and critically appraise new hypotheses through the speculation of complex design proposals, and consider context in terms of history, policy, legislation, environment, economics and community. Unit briefs for this module may develop themes in parallel with Design 5a, with which it is co-taught in Units, and may continue these themes into the following term's design module(s).Read more
AR837 - Design 4B
This module involves the design of a singular or multiple architectural propositions, and is taught through a Unit system with individual Unit briefs interpreting this specification. Each Unit brief will offer the opportunity to develop a conceptual and critical approach to complex architectural design proposals that is developed into a comprehensive and integrated design project. Unit briefs for this module may develop themes in parallel with Design 5b, with which it is co-taught in Units, and may continue these themes from the preceding term's design module.
This module may be substituted by the MArch 'A Term Abroad module for students spending the Spring Term of Stage 4 abroad. Refer to MArch Programme Specification for more details.Read more
Stage 5
|Modules may include
AR838 - Design 5a
This module involves a consideration of design at an urban scale and is taught through a Unit system with individual Unit briefs interpreting this specification.

Unit briefs for this module may develop themes in parallel with Design 4a, with which it is co-taught in Units, and may continue themes into the following term's design module(s).
This module may be substituted by the MArch 'A Term Abroad module for students spending the Spring Term of Stage 4 abroad. Refer to MArch Programme Specification for more details.Read more
AR839 - Design 5B
This module involves the design of a singular or multiple architectural propositions, and is taught through a Unit system with individual Unit briefs interpreting this specification. Each Unit brief will offer the opportunity to develop a conceptual and critical approach to complex architectural design proposals that is developed into a comprehensive and integrated design project. Unit briefs for this module may develop themes in parallel with Design 4b, with which it is co-taught in Units, and may continue themes from the preceding term's design module(s).Read more
AR647 - Technology 5
This technology portfolio further develops how the concurrent and parallel design module (or exceptionally a design project already completed in a previous MArch design module) would be realised in terms of the technology and environmental considerations of the building programme. It further develops, demonstrates and integrates the building technologies and environmental control strategies underlying the design project. Each student is to produce a series of technical detail drawings from Scales 1:20 1: 5, together with a physical model of a key part of their building, for instance a section through the envelope at a corner, at a scale of 1:20 or as directed by the module convener. Students have to demonstrate a developed ability to critically evaluate and refine technical propositions through an iterative process. Additionally design drawings and models will be expected to demonstrate an advanced consideration for and provision of technology addressing the environmental exposure, temperature control, waterproofing, ventilation, circulation, structural support and integration, and sensibilities and sensitivities to appropriate building construction technologies. This will include an articulated attitude to the use of Material Tectonics. Students will need to summarise the iterative process and the final solution through clearly annotated drawings, sketches and models (both presentation and working models) appropriately.Read more
AR600 - Architectural Pedagogy
One of three optional modules taught in Autumn Term of stage 5, this module aims to provide students with a formal programme in teaching architectural design and communication. Students will develop a good understanding of architectural pedagogy, first through practical experience in first year undergraduate studio teaching and second through research in higher education. The focus is on teaching and learning models specific to architecture, such as studio-based tutorials and design reviews. The module is taught through a combination of lectures, tutorials, group seminars and review sessions. Teaching and assessment of this module is divided into two components: 1) theory of architectural education 2) teaching practice. For the theory component students produce an academic essay based on a topic in architectural education. Through these essays students will explore a particular area of architectural education in greater depth. Students will choose a topic in consultation with the module convenor and will develop their research over the course of the term. Feedback is provided during weekly tutorials and two formative review sessions. During the reviews students will present their research and receive feedback from a panel of critics. In Autumn Term weekly lectures and a series of group seminars will be provided, introducing students to (a) educational theories and models of architectural education (b) research methodologies in education and (c) practical pedagogical methods used in studio teaching. For the practical component stage 5 students take on the role of Teaching Assistants throughout the first year undergraduate programme under the supervision of a dedicated studio tutors and the module convenor.Read more
AR601 - Artefact
Students following this module focus their research question around making and assembling an artefact, as a piece of research-through-practice, together with a 3500 word written essay in combination with the submission of the artefact., which it will frame and discuss theoretically. The module comprises 10 half-hour bi-weekly tutorials to develop an individual, integrated written and artefactual investigation with an assigned tutor; students develop a research question related to architecture or another field of environmental/spatial design. Students are expected to develop their ability to gather and synthesize data, as well as to analyse it in a coherent and convincing manner. In addition, they are expected to situate their own investigation in the broader context of architectural history, culture, and discourse.Read more
AR602 - Dissertation
Students produce their dissertation over Autumn and Spring terms. Students are required to develop their communication and research skills to a high professional standard. The module comprises 10 bi-weekly tutorials with an assigned tutor, directing students to develop a research question related to architecture or a related field of environmental/spatial design. Students are expected to develop their ability to gather and synthesize data, as well as to construct a coherent and convincing overall analysis. In addition, they are expected to situate their own investigation within the broader context of architectural history, culture, and discourse. Interdisciplinary investigations that further inform architectural thinking are encouraged.
This module may be substituted by the MArch 'A Term Abroad' module for students spending a term abroad. Refer to MArch Programme Specification for more details.Read more
Teaching and assessment
All students within a particular unit follow the same design project brief, while additional lecture and seminar modules support design through the teaching of technology, culture, dissertation and employability.

KSA enjoys a high employment rate for recent MArch graduates, with large percentages securing jobs in major London design practices, among them Grimshaw Architects and Terry Farrell and Partners. Practices are attracted to our graduates due to the portfolio of diverse modules that consider a range of issues. Other students have gone on to work for major public agencies and universities.
Architecture students who graduated from Kent in 2015 were the most successful in the UK at finding work or further study opportunities (Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education survey).
Transferable skills training
Studying at KSA will equip you for a successful career in architecture. In addition to your professional skills, you will also develop a wide range of transferable skills in areas such as communication, team-working, problem-solving and computer literacy.
Professional recognition
Kent's MArch architecture programme is validated by RIBA, and the award is prescribed by the ARB as giving exemption from Part 2 of their professional examinations.
Entry requirements
Home/EU students
The University will consider applications from students offering a wide range of qualifications, typical requirements are listed below, students offering alternative qualifications should contact the Admissions Office for further advice. It is not possible to offer places to all students who meet this typical offer/minimum requirement.
To be eligible to study on the MArch programme, you will need an undergraduate degree in Architecture, 2:1 or first class classification (or equivalent GPA or grade), with a demonstrated strength in Design Portfolio. Successful applicant's transcript should indicate a mark or grade in their final year of design, or final design project, in the 2.1 range (60% or above, or equivalent GPA or Grade).
Applicants will also need a minimum of six months' experience in architectural practice.
Traditionally students entering the MArch with a first degree that gives exemption from ARB/RIBA Part 1 graduate with the award of MArch (with ARB and RIBA Part 2 exemption).
International entrants without ARB/RIBA Part 1 exemption (or with RIBA but not ARB Part 1 exemption) will also qualify for the same award.
Any student already following the MArch, without ARB Part 1, or without a first degree giving exemption from ARB Part 1, may apply directly to the ARB to take ARB Part 1 as an external candidate. This would involve paying a fee, submitting a portfolio, and attending an interview in London. Procedures are explained at the ARB website www.arb.org.uk/student Please note: we do not arrange this, and cannot guarantee success but will offer advice to students enrolled on the MArch in advance of their direct approach to ARB.
This may be of advantage to students specifically seeking an MArch award with RIBA Pt 2 exemption, as successfully obtaining ARB Part 1 directly from ARB before graduation would graduate with the award of MArch (with ARB & RIBA Part 2 exemption).
MArch graduates without ARB Pt 1 or a qualification giving exemption, will need to obtain both a recognised ARB Part 1 and Part 3 before they can apply to the ARB to be registered in the UK as 'Architect'.

|Licensees, Insurers and Interested Parties
|Linda Ruthardt, Commissioner of Insurance
|November 30, 2001
|Minimum Requirements for Terrorism Exclusions to be Applied to Regulated Property/Casualty Insurance Policies
As part of its efforts to maintain viable insurance markets in Massachusetts following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack in the U.S., the Division of Insurance ("Division") has actively engaged in discussions with insurers and insurer organizations regarding coverage availability for the near term. The reinsurance market currently is reported to be such that endorsements that provide exclusions for terrorism may be appropriate and necessary for some insurers in order to protect their policyholders generally. In order to ensure that any such endorsements filed for subsequent approval by the Commissioner will be a reasonable response to the September 11, 2001 events, the Division has established minimum criteria for any such endorsements that require approval. This bulletin is designed to help insurers and insurance service organizations as they consider "terrorism exclusion" language and rates that need to be submitted. These minimum criteria are not meant to substitute for all applicable law. Insurers must comply with all applicable Massachusetts law.
N.B. Consistent with Massachusetts law insurers are responsible for notifying their insureds of all policy changes and endorsements.
Terrorism exclusions are not permitted for workers' compensation insurance under MA law.
Terrorism exclusions are not permitted for automobile insurance under MA law.
Property Coverages
Liability Coverages
Insurers may file terrorism exclusion endorsements that have already been approved for insurers or rating organizations provided they comply with any licensing requirements. It is the Division's understanding that at least one rating organization with an approved terrorism exclusion endorsement will license insurers free of charge.

I believe it is the digic 2, 3, and 4 sensors. It turns out that all of the powershot line uses the same image sensors. The optics, buttons and features are added or removed based on the price point of the camera.

Did you know that your cat has 30 teeth and your dog has 42? To help prevent dental problems including the accumulation of plaque and tartar, it is recommended that you brush your pet's teeth on a daily basis. Tartar build-up in an animal's mouth can cause gingivitis and loosening of teeth. In more severe cases, it is necessary to extract the affected teeth. Also, dental plaque contains a multitude of bacteria which can spread throughout the blood system and affect certain internal organs (such as liver and kidneys). It is important to have a preventive dental cleaning for our pets, just as we do when we visit regularly our dentist. The dental prophylaxis consists of removing plaque and tartar build up and helps restore the animal's teeth and gums for a healthier mouth. This procedure is done under general anesthesia. In order to help maintain good hygiene and dental care, there exist clinically proven dental formulas in food, treats and oral hygiene chews. Ask one of our veterinary technicians for a recommendation adapted to your pet's needs. Dre Marie-Ève Cardin

Jacques Lipchitz
Cubist sculptor
Movement: Cubism
Born: August 22, 1891 - Druskininkai, Lithuania
Died: May 16, 1973 - Capri, Italy
Important Art by Jacques Lipchitz
The below artworks are the most important by Jacques Lipchitz - that both overview the major creative periods, and highlight the greatest achievements by the artist.
Artwork Images
Pregnant Woman (1912)
Artwork description & Analysis: This early work by Lipchitz demonstrates both his traditional artistic training and the incipient signs of his transition away from art school orthodoxy. Lipchitz received a thorough education in traditional sculptural processes, from drawing classical works to mocking up compositions in clay, to creating full plaster models. Most classically trained artists would give their models to a craftsman to carve in stone or cast in bronze. However, Lipchitz' Pregnant Woman remains in its plaster stage and has been treated as a finished work.
Plaster - Tate Modern, London
Artwork Images
Sculpture (1915-16)
Artwork description & Analysis: One of Lipchitz' earliest abstract sculptures, the composition is based on the form of a human figure seated at a table. He claimed that at the time the sculpture was produced that he was engaged in "building up and composing the idea of a human figure from abstract sculptural elements of line, plane and volume."
Limestone - Tate Modern, London
Artwork Images
Seated Man with a Guitar (1921)
Artwork description & Analysis: Seated Man with a Guitar is one of Lipchitz' most mature Cubist works. While it is less abstract than earlier works such as Sculpture (1915-16), Lipchitz manages to reduce the human figure into a few distinct shapes while maintaining a degree of naturalism. The simple forms that make up the guitar are integrated with the figure's body, fusing the two as though they are one and the same object. In this way, Lipchitz succinctly conveys the notion of a performance in which the musician and instrument are of equal importance.
Plaster - Kroller-Muller Museum, Amsterdam
Artwork Images
Seated Man (Meditation) (1925)
Artwork description & Analysis: By the mid-1920s, Lipchitz had moved away from the Cubist style that had characterized his work for two decades. While he continued to produce simplified, semi-abstract compositions, frequently referring to the human form for inspiration, many of the formal features of Cubism disappeared. He spoke of breaking free from "the iron rule of syntactical cubist discipline" in the hopes of discovering a new creative mode. One of the fruits of this labor was Seated Man, which is a highly emotive work.
Bronze - Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Artwork Images
The Cry (The Couple) (1928-29)
Artwork description & Analysis: By the end of the 1920s, Lipchitz had achieved commercial success and was thus able to work on larger pieces, which could be cast in bronze, an expensive material. With The Cry (The Couple), he continued to explore the limits of the casting process by including large openings in the mass of the sculpture through which the viewer may peer. This feature makes such works particularly suited to being displayed outdoors, as the landscape can be seen through the sculpture and even becomes an interactive component of the piece. Lipchitz referred to these sculptures as "transparents" because they defied sculptural conventions in the sense that, while comprised of mass, they actively engaged with negative space and the viewer could literally see through them.
Bronze - Riijksmuseum, Amsterdam
Artwork Images
The Prayer (1943)
Artwork description & Analysis: Sculpted in the midst of the Second World War, The Prayer served as a direct expression of Lipchitz' horror upon learning of the Nazi's concentration camps. As a Jew, he had been forced to flee Paris for New York a few years earlier and it was in the United States that he rediscovered his religion and the subject matter of his sculptures became increasingly concerned with religion and Judaism.
Bronze - Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia
Artwork Images
Prometheus Strangling the Vulture (1943)
Artwork description & Analysis: This work draws on a well-known Greek myth in which the Titan Prometheus sympathizes with the plight of humans and steals fire from the gods for them. As punishment, he is tied to a rock and a vulture (or, in some versions, an eagle representing Zeus) consumes his liver. Each day, the liver is regenerated and Prometheus' agony repeated. According to the myth, Prometheus is eventually freed by Hercules who kills the bird. However, in Prometheus Strangling the Vulture, Lipchitz depicts the Titan breaking free of his chains and wrestling the bird that has caused him so much pain. Created at the height of World War II, the sculpture is in part symbolic of humanity's struggle against evil and particularly against the persecution of Jews by the Nazis.

The Old Guitarist (1903)
Artist: Pablo Picasso
Artwork description & Analysis: The Old Guitarist is characteristic of the somber melancholy of Picasso's Blue Period, and it was produced at the same time as a series of other pictures devoted to themes of destitution, old age, and blindness. The picture conveys something of Picasso's concern with the miserable conditions he witnessed while coming of age in Spain, and it is no doubt influenced by the religious painting he grew up with, and perhaps specifically by El Greco. But the picture is also typical of the wider Symbolist movement of the period. In later years Picasso dismissed his Blue Period works as "nothing but sentiment"; critics have often agreed with him, even though many of these pictures are iconic, and of course, unbelievably expensive.
Oil on canvas - Art Institute of Chicago
Harlequin with a Guitar (1918)
Artist: Juan Gris
Artwork description & Analysis: A favorite of Picasso and other modernists who reexamined traditional sources after the war, Harlequin was a stock character in the commedia dell'arte (a form of masked theater that originated in 16th-century Italy) and a trickster figure with a tendency to act on whim and passion. Harlequin, a time-honored subject in art, appears in approximately 40 of his works produced between 1917 and 1925. Here, his background as an illustrator is visible in the cartoonish eyes and mouth, and the bright graphic lines that trace the figure and its costume. Warm color tones and a familiar subject lend the piece a reassuring stability, undermined somewhat by the slippage in details such as the knotholes, which appear to sliding off the table, and the fingers of Harlequin's right hand, which double as the contour of the guitar.
Oil on Panel - Metropolitan Museum of Art
Unique Forms of Continuity in Space (1913)
Artist: Umberto Boccioni
Artwork description & Analysis: Although Boccioni was a painter first and foremost, his brief forays into sculpture are significant. The speed and fluidity of movement - what Boccioni called "a synthetic continuity" - is brilliantly captured in this bronze piece, with the human figure gliding through space, almost as if man himself is becoming machine, moving head-on into forceful winds. Possibly in homage to Auguste Rodin's Walking Man (1877-8), and the famous Greek statue Nike of Samothrace (220-190 B.C.), Boccioni left the sculpture without arms.

The Malpractice Lawyers at Fitzgerald & Fitzgerald, URL of http://www.lawfitz.com, Have Settled a Birth Injury Lawsuit for $1,475,000.00
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Aug 29, 2013) - The attorneys at Fitzgerald & Fitzgerald in New York have been representing clients who were badly injured because of substandard medical care since the firm opened in 1971. Over the course of these 42 years of service, the firm has earned more than $1 billion in judgments and settlements on behalf of clients who have suffered because of medical negligence that has included surgical mistakes, failures to diagnose health problems, and anesthesia errors. The firm has also handled many birth injury cases that involved the infliction of brain damage on newborns that has led to diagnoses of cerebral palsy and autism among others. The firm has successfully completed another birth injury case, settling it for $1,475,000.00.
Specifically, the lawsuit was filed in the New York County Supreme Court against a local hospital and two of the doctors who were part of the staff of that facility. The lawsuit was assigned a case number of 87437A and it was filed because the infant plaintiff had suffered permanent and massive injuries and had allegedly suffered these injuries because of negligent conduct by the defendants. The lawsuit sought damages that would compensate the family of the infant plaintiff for the costs of care that would be required throughout the infant plaintiff's life.
According to the court documents, the lawsuit was filed because the infant plaintiff was born at the defendant hospital with multiple birth defects and medical problems. These birth defects included two club feet, a high arched pallet, low-set ears, excessive arches on her fingertips, a broad-bridged nose and micrognathia. The mother had been given a Pitocin drip to prompt labor, but that drip was discontinued and the child was delivered via C-section.
The court documents stated that the controversy arose because the defendants stopped monitoring the fetal heart rate when the Pitocin was discontinued and that this failure to continue to monitor the child for two hours before it was born led to damage that caused conditions such as severe mental retardation, motor deficits and an inability to feed herself. As a result, the two sides negotiated a settlement in the amount of $1,475,000.00 and the case is now considered closed.

In spite of the fact that SCOTUS has failed the American people by choosing not to protect the institution of the family, marriage supporters have every reason to keep up the fight — just examine the pro-life movement.
The history of the pro-life movement demonstrates that Roe v. Wade did not at all end the war about abortion. Rather, Roe v. Wade stirred the pot, and awakened the silent pro-life majority. What is more, Roe v. Wade successfully showed apathetic civilians the true horrors of abortion, and brought more people to the pro-life movement than there had ever been before.
Obergefell v. Hodges is poised to do the exact same favors for the pro-marriage movement. Through a historical study of the pro-life movement, Michael J. New demonstrates why, despite popular opinion being contrariwise, the pro-marriage movement has every hope of becoming stronger:
Someone analyzing the GSS in 1975 might have gotten the impression that in the pro-choice position lay America's future. In fact, countless surveys showed that young adults were far more likely to support legal abortion than the elderly. But someone analyzing the GSS forty years later could be excused for drawing a very different conclusion. Indeed, the GSS shows that young adults are actually the most pro-life age demographic. Supporters of traditional marriage should take comfort in this fact; it is reasonable to hope that the marriage situation—both culturally and legally—will improve, grim as the present outlook might seem.
The supporter of male-female marriage should draw three important lessons from these four decades of GSS survey data. First—and unsurprisingly—people often change their opinions over the course of their lifetimes; people become more "pro-choice" during their 30s and more "pro-life" during their 50s. This point coheres with the truism, supported by other significant research, that people often become more conservative with age.
Second, national opinion trends can change as well. For instance, one can see from the GSS that, in the 1990s, the debate over partial-birth abortion increased pro-life sentiment among nearly all demographic groups. Other surveys show that during that time period, a higher percentage of Americans came to consider abortion morally wrong, and believed that abortion should be banned in all circumstances. A September 1995 Gallup poll showed that only 33 percent of Americans identified as "pro-life." That figure reached 51 percent in a Gallup poll taken in May 2009.
Third—and this is the most important—there can be surprising shifts in opinion even within demographic groups. Throughout the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, the GSS survey results consistently revealed that eighteen- to twenty-nine-year-olds were more supportive of legal abortion than was any other age cohort. But starting around the year 2000, this group became the most pro-life age cohort—more pro-life, even, than senior citizens.
What caused these unexpected shifts in public opinion on the abortion issue? The political pundits of the seventies foresaw neither the reality of legal abortion in the United States nor the effectiveness of incremental pro-life legislation.
. . .
When Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973, no one could have predicted the developments that shifted public opinion in a more pro-life direction. Abortion opinion trends during the past forty years should offer some reassurance to supporters of traditional marriage. It's hard to anticipate how reality will turn around and confront public opinion, but the truth often has a way of revealing itself. Demography today is not necessarily destiny tomorrow.

The National Golf Course
The National is one of Canada's most prestigious golf courses. It is both beautiful and demanding—the fact that Lee Trevino's course record 67 to win the Canadian PGA Championship in 1979 still stands is testament to the legendary difficulty.
The National Golf Club was looking for a website that reflected its status—prestigious, with a long and storied history. The site design we created used a parchment-like background, upscale typefaces and small headline font sizes to enhance a stylish look. Members-only features were locked behind a password-restricted entry, but once in, allowed them quick access to course handbooks, their personal information and more.
A Type of Magic created the site design for The National's agency Impact North.

Analyzing the role of networks originally set up to perpetuate and sustain government in the event of nuclear war, this program highlights the role of Continuity of Government (COG) elements in a number of domestic and/or illegal covert operations. With its own communications network, the COG has proved an effective vehicle for sidestepping normal operational channels in order to realize nefarious aims. The COG-related networks and individuals have figured prominently in aspects of the JFK assassination, Watergate, the October Surprise, the Iran-Contra scandal and events pursuant to the 9/11 attacks. Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld are two of the prominent figures in the COG networks and have been present in the Nixon/Ford, Reagan/Bush, Clinton and George W. Bush administrations.
In this visit with Russ Baker, we introduced some new topics and updated some other inquiries. Noted as a peddler of the untenable "Lee Harvey Oswald as lone nut assassin" hypothesis, Gerald Posner has emerged as a PR functionary for the brother of Afghan president Hamid Karzai. We noted that Bill O'Reilly did some good work on the JFK assassination before conforming to the right-wing ideological dictates of Fox News. Much of the program centered on discussion of the re-opening of the investigation into Robert Kennedy's assassination. Grant Cooper's behavior as Sirhan Sirhan's first defense attorney was stunning.
Like Count Dracula, Gerald Posner keeps coming back. Having led the media charges to discredit Warren Commission critics, critics of the official version of Martin Luther King's assassination and Ladislas Farago's research on Martin Bormann's presence in Latin America, Posner is now defending Afghan president Karzai's brother against credible charges that he has been on the CIA's payroll, while participatring significantly in the Afghan heroin trade.
The Bush family has been very, very close to the anti-Castro Cuban exile community for decades, including and especially the late Orlando Bosch, head of the CORU organization. Now, it emerges that a relative of Orlando Bosch heads the Biogenesis firm, under investigation for allegedly providing performance-enhancing drugs to professional athletes.
America's political assassinations continue to loom large over our political landscape. A recent New York Times obituary touched on Daniel Burros, the American Nazi Party member whose name, address and phone number were in supposed "leftist" Lee Harvey Oswald's address book. "Family of Secrets" author Russ Baker informs us that Sirhan Sirhan's first attorney Grant Cooper was under indictment with possible JFK co-conspirator John Roselli when he represented RFK's accused assassin.
We've produced much programming and posting over the years on the assassinations of JFK, RFK and Martin Luther King. All of these killings are connected and, together, comprise the systematic elimination of viable progressive leadership in this country. Stating the obvious, Robert F. Kennedy's kids RFK jr. and Rory have stated that President Kennedy was not assassinated by a lone nut. We've not seen any statements by Kennedy family members about the assassination of Robert Kennedy. That case is heading back into court. The investigation of Robert Kennedy's assassination yields evidentiary tributaries leading in the direction of his brother's killing, Dr. King's assassination and the shooting of George Wallace.
Once a serious investigator, Fox's Bill O'Reilly proved CIA conspiracy to discredit New Orleans DA Jim Garrison.

An Aug. 12 article on the growth rate of Tyrannosaurus rex misspelled a researcher's name. The correct spelling is Peter J. Makovicky. (Published 8/13/04)
If you think today's teenagers are difficult to live with, consider Tyrannosaurus rex, which at age 15 was gaining about 4.6 pounds per day -- 1,679 pounds per year -- and not from gobbling peanut butter sandwiches.
Life was almost certainly a picnic -- all the time: "Yes, that would certainly be one corollary of this study," said paleontologist Peter J. Mackovicky of Chicago's Field Museum. "To maintain a high growth rate, these animals would have to eat a lot."
Mackovicky is part of a six-member team that used seasonal rings in T. rex bones to determine the legendary carnivore's rate of growth. The results, reported in today's issue of the journal Nature, were billed by the Field Museum as "the ultimate teenage growth spurt."
The team, led by Gregory M. Erickson of Florida State University, examined bones from seven of the world's 30 known T. rex specimens, including the Field Museum's own Sue, to determine how fast body mass increased at various ages.
They found that T. rex weighed about a ton at 13 but about a year later embarked on a four-year growth binge, to reach about 4.5 tons by age 18, after which it began to level off to an adult weight of around about six tons by 20.
Mackovicky estimated T. rex's life span at 30 years, based on the fact that Sue, named for the researcher who discovered it, is the oldest known specimen and was suffering from bone lesions and arthritis when it died at 28.
"What we wanted to do was figure out how dinosaurs got so big," Mackovicky said in a telephone interview. "Let's face it. That's one of the things that fascinate all of us."
Mackovicky said researchers have known for years that dinosaurs, like modern reptiles, grew seasonally, and that dinosaur bones showed the seasons in rings much like tree rings.
Evidence from modern animals suggests that growth rate has little or nothing to do with the reptiles' cold-bloodedness, which makes them less active in cold weather, Mackovicky said. Instead, "it's a deep-seated physiological link." They grow the way they grow because that's the way they are.
For decades, researchers had difficulty assessing dinosaur growth rates because weight-bearing bones, which allowed them to estimate body mass, develop increasingly large marrow cavities in their centers. The cavities erode the interior growth rings, making it hard to estimate the animal's age even as new outer rings are laid down.
Mackovicky credited Erickson for finding that non-weight-bearing dinosaur bones -- ribs, pubic bones, belly bones and some leg bones -- did not have marrow cavities and thus displayed the entire growth record. Also, it was easier to obtain the smaller bones for the invasive cross-cutting needed to expose the ring history.
The team examined 60 bones from 20 skeletons, including seven T. rex and three smaller, related species with slower growth rates. Each of the specimens also had to have available a weight-bearing thighbone so the team could correlate age to body mass.
What the team discovered was that T. rex grew very large, very quickly, to become a fearsome predator. The adult T. rex was 40 feet long and 13 feet tall, with a five-foot-long skull and 50 teeth, each about eight inches long. T. rex became extinct about 65 million years ago.
Besides the spectacular growth rate, the new research may offer fresh insights on what kind of hunter T. rex was. The "conundrum," Mackovicky said, is that the growth spurt began just after its weight had reached 2,000 pounds, changing T. rex from a fleet chaser into more of a muscle-bound lumberer.
"Maybe they go after bigger, slower animals," Mackovicky suggested. "But it's interesting because their mass-to-muscle ratio is leading them to this biomechanical boundary zone just when they're going into super-puberty," with their growth rate taking off.
Or maybe they hunted in packs, with younger, faster dinosaurs chasing prey toward the stronger adults.
Or maybe larger T. rex abandoned the chase altogether and spent lunchtime stealing kills from smaller predators or scavenging carcasses.
"You have to keep in mind, though, that there are two kinds of speed," said evolutionary biomechanist John R. Hutchinson, lead author of a 2002 study that exposed T. rex as a relative plodder. "You run fast relative to your body size, or you run fast in absolute terms."
Young T. rex, Hutchinson suggested, had a fast relative speed -- body-lengths per second -- but began to lose that at 2,000 pounds. Absolute speed, about 25 mph maximum, might stay the same for a while, because the animal could compensate for loss of quickness with longer strides. And although an adult T. rex might slow to a maximum of 10 or 12 mph, only elite human runners can do better.
"We can't achieve the kind of precision that says T. rex got to a certain age and got slower," Hutchinson said in a telephone interview from his University of London office. "We can say running ability decreased with size, and did so quickly, because growth occurred quickly. I wouldn't go much further than that."

The capital available for investments in commercial properties in 2014 amounts to 120 billion dollars. That is 6% higher than the one estimated a month ago. According to a DTZ Echinox study, less than 0.5% arrives to Romania. Marius Grigorica, senior business analyst at DTZ Echinox said that even if no more than 0.5% of overall capital attracted for real estate investments for the European area, they estimate a gradual increase of investors' interest for Romania in the next years due to attractive profits which can be obtained in a relatively low risk climate. He showed that most of the capital available has in view real estate investment opportunities in secondary markets following profit reduction in mature Western European markets."This could be a favorable context for Romania, with big chances to attract attention of big investors because of market size and of the recent improvement of macroeconomic bases," Grigorica added.

"just as the sunflowers turn their heads to catch every sunbeam, so too have we discovered a simple way to get more from the sun. Daylight savings time, also known as summer time, gives us the opportunity to enjoy sunny summer evenings by moving our clock an hour forward in."
Love every story that has sunflowers in it. I found this cute little one from this website: and it's perfect for daylight savings which will happen this weekend.
Historically daylight savings comes from England and Europe; clocks are adjusted forward one hour around beginning of spring and are adjusted backward in the falls. The idea behind it just like the saying above, it's for us to enjoy longer sunny summer days. However in this modern day, the practice has been saying to benefit retailing business more.
Me personally, it is what it is, but it can get hard sometimes to adjust your body every 6 month. Whether gaining or losing an hour, it's still an adjustment. It is what it is. Summer is coming, so let us enjoy it and makes the best out of it!
Here's another saying I come across on facebook: "Wisconsin friends are reminded to turn their clocks back 50 years this weekend. Everyone else can move theirs one hour forward"

I wonder if series creator Daisy Goodwin was getting something similar off her chest with this episode. First, she subjected the queen to all sorts of indignities from the moment she becomes "indisposed out of her mouth," as Lohlein so aptly put it. She scarcely has time to adjust to the news of her pregnancy herself before Prince Albert is eager to announce his victory to her council. Then the Duchess of Kent steps in with such a kind motherly reminder of Princess Charlotte's death in childbirth. That's exactly what she wanted to hear! Also, her mother thinks laughter is bad for the baby, but brandy and cream are great for nausea. Excuse me while I go barf. (FYI, I'm not pregnant, everyone!)
The ultimate slap to the face upon this happy news comes from the Lord Chamberlain, who says Victoria has to nominate a regent in the event that she dies in childbirth but her child survives. Which, sure, that's a good idea, but it would be nice if people spent as much time concerning themselves with, say, research into the causes of death in childbirth as they do with this regent business. Also, way to make a girl feel like she's anything but a womb.
Albert, meanwhile, is still trying to prove he's more than a sperm donor, and he's decided to geek out over manufacturing and the hottest new tech: the railroad. He'd be such a bore if he didn't also say stuff that makes me feel all tingly inside, like, "A love like ours can burn down a city." Seriously, you can almost see sparks when they so much as brush up against each other. And because she's so swoony over him, and she can't wait to get away from her mother's helpful advice, Victoria declares they're going on a road trip north to Staffordshire. Everyone can take their advice to avoid strenuous activity and stuff it. (Except, oof, carsickness in a carriage looks awful.)
At the home of stuffy Sir Piers Gifford, even the servants are snobs. The guy's butler tries to trick Lohlein into dressing him all wrong for a shooting expedition, and later into making the prince sing "God Save the Queen" while he gets dressed. Good thing Mrs. Jenkins is there to save the valet, and Robert Peel is there to become Albert's BFF.
There are a few layers to the conflict that goes on in Staffordshire. Victoria believes that playing along by the Giffords' rules will make things go more smoothly for her husband. ("Softly, softly, catchy monkey," she says, invoking a saying with a fascinating history, if you're into that sort of thing.) Albert prefers a more direct approach to getting what he wants, and if Gifford won't give it to him, he'll seek it elsewhere. So, he arranges for an early morning escape to visit the train with Peel. This is such a typical married man move, by the way — the wife says no to something, so he sneaks out and does it anyway, hoping she won't mind if she doesn't see him do it. Never mind that him doing so undermines her authority after everyone saw her nix the trip the day before. Both of them could use some better conflict resolution skills in their marriage.
Peel knows what's up, though. While Gifford warns him that it's useless to curry the favor of the prince, who has no power, Peel has figured out that Albert is the queen's weakness. She'll do anything to make him happy. That's why she hops on the train she previously feared, and why she begins to see Peel as something more than a "stuffed frog." In return, he not only puts his full support behind the prince's regency, but he also lets out the funniest single "Ha!" in response to her wry statement that she's "far too busy to die." It's a start.
Back on the home front, for the first time, the downstairs plot has become something more than just a distraction. Francatelli has stopped being a creepy blackmailer and decides to woo Skerrett/Nancy in the most delicious way. The camera work during each scene of his dessert creation possibly made me gain 5 lbs by watching. Her adamant declarations against the life of servitude that marriage would mean for her seem to have seeped in, too — he gets her attention by appealing to her brain as well as her palate. Even crotchety old Penge shows himself to be a secret softie, helping the chef's romantic endeavors and soothing Brodie's crushed heart. I think by the time this season ends next week, we might find ourselves liking all of its characters. It's all up to you, Duchess.

SAN FRANCISCO --Crab boat skippers held a meeting Monday to consider their dispute over the price of crab that's keeping them on dry land.
More than 100 boats are staying in port in San Francisco, Half Moon Bay and Bodega Bay. Before Thanksgiving, the crabbers agreed to selling crab for $3 a pound. But at one point last week, the price was down under $2 due to weak demand.
Last year, crab fishermen went on strike for weeks until they reached an agreement to sell crab for $2.25 a pound.
The meeting conculded with no decision being made. The skippers will meet again on Tuesday.

A couple of weeks again, a Gizmodo article lit a firestorm of controversy. In an effort to put out the blaze, Fb summoned conservative topics to their palace in California by Prince Mark Zuckerberg amid information studies that liberal bias played a component in how republican crimson-meat issues had been ranked in trending topics. Liberal bias in media is hardly stunning because the GOP has been complaining about it since Ronald-the-Ray-Gun was president. Radio discuss exhibits, conservative writers, and naturally Fox News had a area day ironically taking part in the victim. However by bringing up Big Brother, they lit up a crucial subject society prefers to be in the dead of night.
