We are addressing a problem that may be triggered in the retirement process (by evil imperators ). In kosmor.de, there have been reports of players timing retirement strategically and giving some "final orders", conquering some star systems and then ... they were gone, rendering their opponents without any chance to regain the conquered star systems. These are the changes: 1. If a retiring imperator logs in again, the retirment process is terminated automatically. 2. If the retirement process is terminated manually or automatically, there is a blocking period of 7 days, before the imperator can retire again.

At each Junior Campus there is a strong focus on teams. Each team has a separate area within the campus with home rooms and team teaching areas. Students in teams have taken responsibility for establishing gardens, painting murals and working together in multi-age groups to complete special projects.
Middle School teachers are committed to their team and typically teach more than one subject. This allows and integrated approach to the curriculum to develop and flourish. Students progress in teams through the school with the same group of teachers whom they come to know very well. This Middle School structure develops a sense of community and school pride.

You can enjoy the book and the CD simulatneously, cross-referencing the photos and the written word with the poems as they're read aloud, but the disc is also very enjoyable as a stand-alone experience. Play it as an accompaniment to your own walks in the countryside, or in the car as you sit in urban traffic, when summoning up a pleasing vision of a rural environment will help you hang on to your sanity."

Just as seeds can be planted for good…weeds can also be planted in horse training. Sometimes this is the result of abuse. More often it is simply not knowing how complex and perceptive horses are on a daily basis.
Whether these are seeds of good or weeds…the first thing to grow are the roots. Often people don't know they have a problem (a weed) until it pokes it's head above the ground. Other times it is a full blown tree before the owner realizes they wanted an apple tree….but planted an oak!
The sooner you realize you have a problem (a weed) the sooner you should get started on fixing it. Maybe that is taking a lesson, watching a DVD, reading a book, or going over to a friends to ride. Or maybe it is sending your horse to a pro.
The deeper the roots – the bigger the job.
I say this to be encouraging…not discouraging. Know you have a big job.

DirtHeadz DirtHeadz Presents: The Movement (Dirthead Productions)
They may never receive the heavy rotation of hip-hop heavyweights like Jay Z or Kanye West, but the Dirtheadz' latest release is about as commercially viable as underground hip-hop can get. The Movement has the high-pitched hooks and unflinching swagger that characterizes so much of popular rap today. But the record amounts to more than music for the masses. The track "No Names With Names" in particular merits critical as well as widespread approbation for its combination of immediate likability and salient flows. Give Kanye's Late Registration a break and check out what the Dirtheadz have to offer.
Flow Nice Listen Closely (World Records Music)
Santa Fe's Flow Nice remind us that there's more to hip-hop than how many bullet wounds you've accumulated. These down-to-earth, forthright emcees remain true to the mold of groups like A Tribe Called Quest and Jurassic Five, who don't hide behind gimmicks and street cred. Instead, Flow Nice lets their seamless samples and smirk-inducing lyrics do the talking. Perhaps most impressively, the requisite vibrato is carried out in a tongue-in-cheek fashion that's refreshing in a genre where everyone and their mom claims to be an ill emcee. To check out the CD, go to worldrecordsmusic.com.
Mad Happy Renegade Geeks (Mutiny Zoo Records)
I've never heard anything quite like Renegade Geeks. Mad Happy's electro-pop/rap is clearly designed for a very select group of people who may or may not actually exist. Is the album original? Absolutely. Listenable? Not for more than a few seconds. Perhaps I'm just a rap conformist who couldn't recognize true artistic genius if it was express mailed to me, but I'm not keen on this album and I doubt that you will be either.

The chief executive-designate of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), who has said that Libor rate-setting is "no longer viable", revealed he had an "unreasonable" deadline for both respondents and his own staff to propose a new benchmark. He said his Government-commissioned review would be published "by the end of September".
Launching a discussion paper of his first proposals, Mr Wheatley said he recognised that global banks were "very clearly apprehensive because of the record fine that was pinned on Barclays". "They want as quickly as possible to have a Libor that works and doesn't expose them" to regulatory and legal risks.
He said the recommendations would focus on action for banks that could be "implemented very quickly" but may also contain proposals for a change to the Finance Act or European rules, which could take up to two years.
Although his remit included looking at the price setting of commodities including gold and oil, Mr Wheatley said the timeframe meant he had "no ability to review other benchmarks". However, he called for traders to come forward if they were aware of "any structural deficiencies that we have seen in Libor".
He tried to address fears that any sudden overhaul of Libor would cause chaos for trillions of dollars worth of contracts and promised "legal continuity". "We will not come forward with a radical proposal that would say, stop using Libor and use X [benchmark] instead."
Martin Wheatley's speech
He also warned that it was "up to markets to decide" how much weight to give to Libor going forward since he said it was "not for regulators to set benchmarks". He said he expected Libor to continue to be used but for institutions to use a wider range of benchmarks to suit individual products.
The review includes suggestions on pegging the rate to actual market data, rather than subjective submissions from banks, and introducing formal regulation.
He suggested scrapping the rate altogether and replacing it with a borrowing rate based on actual trades.
The British Bankers' Association's role in overseeing the setting of Libor is likely to be changed. "I am not confident that the BBA's historic role has been good - frankly it hasn't," said Mr Wheatley. But he added it was "still an open question" over whether the BBA would be involved going forward.
Mr Wheatley said his proposals would focus on three areas: how Libor rates are compiled; the governance around who sets them; and the regulation of any new system.
He said the key aim was to restore trust. "Aside from the ongoing investigations, it's clear that trust in a vital part of the financial system has been lost, and I believe timely action is needed to regain it," he said.
He added: "It's vital that people trust [Libor], as so many things, from complex trading in the City through to a person's mortgage and pension, depend on it. And that is why it is critical that it works well and reform is comprehensive and effective."
Chancellor George Osborne said: "We've got to have a financial system we can all trust. This review shows the Government is acting swiftly and decisively to address the failings of Libor and put right what went wrong. We will now be able to make any changes to the law that are needed quickly, instead of waiting years. It shows we made the right decision last month."

Q. "What is the advantage of the adjustable stop screw?"
A. The adjustable stop screw allows you to adjust the limit to which the handle can turn in the hot direction. By doing so, you can preset the handle to turn to the desired temperature setting. Many hot water heaters are set at high temperatures for automatic dishwashing and clothes washing, but the temperature may also be high enough to scald. By using the stop screw, the handle will be stopped from going into the higher temperature range.
Q. "What is the quality of Symmons products?"
A. Since the 1930's Symmons has provided superior engineering, and solid workmanship in every product. Product manufacturing, assembly, and handling are subject to strict quality control and only the highest quality materials are selected to ensure durability for years to come.

Lenovo's ThinkPad Tablet is a good companion device for the more business-minded amongst us. Still, as with all tablets, it's productivity quotient isn't so high when it comes to on-screen typing. The FlexT9 keyboard is fine for basic text input, but when you write something longer than a few lines or want to type faster than tracing words will allow, you need an external keyboard.
Lenovo's Keyboard Folio Case adds a physical keyboard and an optical mouse to the ThinkPad experience. It also makes the tablet look even more like a ThinkPad notebook thanks to the design and layout. But is this accessory worth the extra $99.99?
Read on to find out.
Hands on With the ThinkPad Tablet Portfolio
The keyboard itself is 9.5 inches wide and 4 inches deep, which is slightly larger than most netbook keyboards. And like some netbooks, to keep things small there are some slightly undersized keys like Enter and Shift. Overall, key size is good and I didn't feel cramped or crowded when typing.
Keys have the same basic shape as ThinkPad notebook keys (new style, not old school), so you get a nice dip in the center that helps with accuracy. I'm a messy typist, but I was able to get up to my normal rate right away with only a slight dip in accuracy.
Since the keyboard is shallow and in a tablet case, you're not going to get the same firm tactile feedback and travel as you would on a notebook. There's also a small amount of flex if you press hard enough. For what it is, the Folio keyboard rates high for comfort and usability.
In addition to the normal QWERTY layout and full number row, the Folio also has special Android OS keys. Along the top where the F1 – F12 keys would normally sit, Lenovo provides one-press access to Home, Settings, Brightness, Volume, Zoom and multimedia controls. On the lower left side the Ctrl key brings up the Menu and a Search key sits where the Fn or Windows key normally would. On the right, a Sym key will bring up the Keyboard input method.
When I first started with the Folio, the FlexT9 keyboard was set as the default. But I found that the physical keyboard's performance wasn't great with this on. The T9 was trying to correct spelling as I typed, slowing down the process. Choosing the default Android keyboard solved the problem.
Optical Mouse
Because the keyboard is so thin, there wasn't room for a normal TrackPoint's hardware. Instead, Lenovo included an optical TrackPoint. Sitting in the middle of the keyboard just where you'd expect to find it, users must glide their finger over the surface instead of physically pushing to move the arrow around the display.
I didn't find myself using this much, defaulting to tapping the screen when I needed to. The optical surface is small, so you have to swipe several times to get the arrow from one side of the screen to the other. But since it's connected to a touchscreen device, this isn't a dealbreaker.
Typists who like not having to move their fingers from the home row to use the mouse will appreciate this function. It's also useful for placing the cursor precisely when writing. Otherwise, it doesn't offer much advantage over just tapping the screen.
Just under the space bar sit two mouse buttons that are easy to reach with a thumb when typing. Just as with the keys, thy aren't very clicky, but work well. The left one acts as you'd expect, emulating a tap. The right one behaves differently in each app, but often acts as a Menu button.
Folio Design
There are some clever elements to the Folio's design and also much room for improvement in some areas. The case is 1.25 inches thick with the ThinkPad inside and weighs 1.4 pounds on its own. Together with the 1.6 pound tablet, it's heavier than the average netbook (2.8 pounds) and just 0.2 pounds lighter than most 11.6-inch ultraportables.
The cradle bit that holds the tablet in place leaves the sides open for port access and has a USB dongle that sticks up, physically connecting the keyboard and mouse to the system. This is good as you don't need to use up battery with a Bluetooth connection and won't find the letters lagging behind if you're a fast typist.
Sliding the tablet in and pulling it out is more awkward than it needs to be and it takes more force than it should.
Once in, the Folio can hold the tablet at three different angles — they're not very far off from each other, but are useful in a room with bright overhead lights. It also takes up less space on an airline tray table than a netbook or an ultraportable. I like that the case not only has grooves to keep the tablet stable, but this area is magnetized, so the top part stays firmly in place even if you jostle the Folio a little.
On flat, stable surfaces I had no trouble setting up and getting right down to typing. The Folio isn't great for typing in your lap, though, especially if you're on a train or a moving vehicle. The bottom piece isn't quite wide enough and the center of gravity just off from a traditional notebook to make the Folio unstable in these situations.
The case folds up easily and a magnetic flap keeps it together when not in use. The leather covering is very nondescript, looking like nothing more than a Filofax or similar from the outside.
My biggest issue with the Keyboard Folio is that you can't use the tablet as a tablet when it's in the case. There's no way to easily fold it around or just fold the tablet part over the keys. This wouldn't be a big deal if it was easier to get the ThinkPad in and out of the thing. It also wouldn't be as big a deal if it wasn't also a case.
In order to conveniently pull the tablet out when I just want to use it as a slate, I ended up carrying it in a separate slipcase while also carrying the Folio for when I needed the keyboard, which defeats the purpose.
The Bottom Line
If the design issues I mentioned put you off the Keyboard Folio, you do have some alternatives. The ThinkPad's USB port will accept any USB keyboard, after all. And there are Bluetooth keyboards like the one Logitech makes (read my full review). Both of those options have drawbacks — portability, usability — and neither comes with the optical mouse.
If you plan to use the ThinkPad Tablet for serious productivity, then the Keyboard Folio is a good addition to your arsenal. However, if you need a notebook with you and use the tablet as an adjunct, you can safely skip this accessory.

"Circulation: Date, Place, Events" was first exhibited in 1971 as part of the Seventh Paris Biennale. Each day, for seven consecutive days Takuma Nakahira photographed, developed and exhibited approximately one hundred photographs. The photographs are random glimpses from Nakahira's daily activities in Paris, including strangers' faces, produce stands, subway platforms, street posters and even his breakfast setting. Developing the photographs each night, Nakahira exhibited them the following day. Once the walls of the exhibition space were crowded with photographs, the artist spread them onto the floor. The resulting project presented a limited reality dictated by guidelines of "date," "place" and "events."
This is Japanese photographer Takuma Nakahira's first exhibition outside of Japan since 1971 and first in America. The exhibition opens today and will be on view through Friday, July 12, 2013 at the Yossi Milo Gallery in New York City. An opening reception and book launch will be held this evening, Thursday, May 23, from 6:00 – 8:00PM.
By shooting stark, black-and-white images that are purposely blurry and grainy, Nakahira broke with Japan's photographic history of social realism and allowed elements of uncertainty and expression into his work, along with Shomei Tomatsu, Daido Moriyama and Koji Taki. For more on Tomatsu, click here.

Mr. Davidson: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister what monitoring of recruitment and promotion within the civil service is undertaken of the (a) social and (b) educational backgrounds of successful candidates; and if he will make a statement. [52232]
Mr. Leslie: The Civil Service aims to attract applicants from a diverse range of candidates. It does not monitor the social or educational backgrounds of successful candidates it recruits, nor for those recruited to the Senior Civil Service.
The Civil Service Fast Stream does, however, monitor applicants by university of first degree and this information is published annually in the Fast Stream Recruitment Report. The report is available in the library of both Houses and on the internet at www.faststream.gov.uk. Fast Stream applicants are not monitored by social background.
Sir Teddy Taylor: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister if he will make a statement on the percentage increases in Civil Service pensions in (a) 2000, (b) 2001 and (c) 2002; and on what basis the increases are calculated. [55306]
Mr. Leslie: Civil Service pensions, like other public service pensions, are increased each year after the Pensions Increase (Review) Order has been laid before Parliament by HM Treasury.
The pensions are increased by the same percentage as the increase in the additional component of the State Earnings Related Pension (SERPS) under section 59 of the Social Security Act 1975 (as amended).
This increase is calculated by reference to the all items increase in the Retail Prices Index (RPI) in the last 12 months to September of the previous year.
The increase is applied in April each year.
The increases for the last three financial years are as follows:

Ask Jeeves if it ate Excite.com
The answer is yes, for $343m
Ask Jeeves is shelling out around $343m in cash and shares to acquire privately-held online search and media company Excite.com's owner, Interactive Search Holdings. It will issue 9.3 million shares of common stock and options, and $150m in cash - a purchase price of $343m based on Ask Jeeves' closing price on 3 March.
With a stable of companies including My Way, My Search, My Web Search, iWon, Excite and the MaxOnline advertising network, Interactive Search Holdings was ranked as the 9th most visited US property on the Web in December 2003.
The acquisition doubles Ask Jeeves' market share and means the enlarged group should be better placed to cash in on more traffic and advertising. The newly enlarged group is expected to generate revenues of between $220m to $230m.
Following completion of the acquisition, Interactive Search Holdings will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ask Jeeves. It operations will remain in Irvington, New York. ®

Entry requirements for entry in 2018-19
Within equal opportunities principles and legislation, applications will be assessed in the light of an applicant's ability to meet the following entry requirements:
1. Academic ability
Proven and potential academic excellence
Applicants are normally expected to be predicted or have achieved a first-class or a strong upper second class undergraduate degree with honours (or equivalent international qualifications) as a minimum in law, sociology, politics, economics, social policy, psychology, history, or another subject relevant to criminology. A high upper second class graduate degree is normally defined as one in which an average mark of 65% or above is achieved.
For applicants with a degree from the USA, the minimum GPA sought is 3.7 out of 4.0.
If you hold non-UK qualifications and wish to check how your qualifications match these requirements, you can contact the National Recognition Information Centre for the United Kingdom (UK NARIC).
Applicants are also normally expected to be predicted or to have achieved a master's degree (or equivalent international qualifications) in law, sociology, politics, economics, social policy, psychology, history, or another subject relevant to criminology with an average mark of 67% or above.

Potential applicants should identify any relevant publications which may enhance their application.

2. English language requirement
Applicants whose first language is not English are usually required to provide evidence of proficiency in English at the higher level required by the University.
3. Availability of supervision, teaching, facilities and places
The following factors will govern whether candidates can be offered places:

- Minimum and maximum limits to the numbers of students who may be admitted to Oxford's research and taught programmes.
The provision of supervision, where required, is subject to the following points:
- The allocation of graduate supervision is the responsibility of the Centre for Criminology and it is not always possible to accommodate the preferences of incoming graduate students to work with a particular member of staff.
- Under exceptional circumstances a supervisor may be found outside the Centre for Criminology.
Where possible your academic supervisor will not change for the duration of your course. However, it may be necessary to assign a new academic supervisor during the course of study or before registration for reasons which might include sabbatical leave, maternity leave or change in employment.
4. Disability, health conditions and specific learning difficulties
Students are selected for admission without regard to gender, marital or civil partnership status, disability, race, nationality, ethnic origin, religion or belief, sexual orientation, age or social background.
Decisions on admission are based solely on the individual academic merits of each candidate and the application of the entry requirements appropriate to the course.
Further information on how these matters are supported during the admissions process is available in our guidance for applicants with disabilities.
5. Assessors
All recommendations to admit a student involve the judgment of at least two members of academic staff with relevant experience and expertise, and additionally must be approved by the Director of Graduate Studies or Admissions Committee (or equivalent departmental persons or bodies).
Admissions panels or committees will always include at least one member of academic staff who has undertaken appropriate training.
6. Other information
Whether you have yet secured funding is not taken into consideration in the decision to make an initial offer of a place, but please note that the initial offer of a place will not be confirmed until you have completed a Financial Declaration.
As a new full-time DPhil student you will be offered a desk at the Centre for Criminology, however it may not be possible to accommodate every student who requests a desk, and the centre cannot guarantee the availability of workspace in future years.
Within the Faculty of Law, there is a dedicated graduate reading room available in the Bodleian Law Library. This includes 50 study spaces, many of which are equipped with an Ethernet socket. Wireless access is also available.
You will have access to the Bodleian Law Library and Bodleian Social Science Library (in addition to other University libraries, and the centrally provided electronic resources). Training on how to use the library's legal and journal database is jointly provided by the Faculty of Law and the Bodleian Law Library.
You will have the opportunity to attend a variety of skills training sessions and you will be required to successfully complete research methods training provided by the centre, as a condition of your transfer/admission to DPhil student status. There are also opportunities to access advanced and specialist research training provided through the Social Sciences Doctoral Training Centre.

How to apply
Supervision is arranged by the department at the point of admission and you do not need to contact potential supervisors before an offer is made.
The set of documents you should send with your application to this course comprises the following:
Official transcript(s)
Your transcripts should give detailed information of the individual grades received in your university-level qualifications to date. You should only upload official documents issued by your institution and any transcript not in English should be accompanied by a certified translation.
More information about the transcript requirement is available in the Application Guide.
A CV/résumé is compulsory for all applications. Most applicants choose to submit a document of one to two pages highlighting their academic achievements and any relevant professional experience.
Research proposal:
Up to three pages
You should submit a detailed outline of your proposed research, written in English. The page limit does not need to include any bibliography or brief footnotes.
You may wish to make reference to your personal achievements, interests and aspirations and the relevance of the course to your future career development plans.
This will be assessed for the coherence of the proposal, the originality of the project, the feasibility of successfully completing the project in the time available for the course.
It will also be assessed for:
- your reasons for applying
- evidence of motivation for and understanding of the proposed area of study
- ability to present a reasoned case in English
- commitment to the subject, beyond the requirements of the degree course
- knowledge of research techniques
- capacity for sustained and intense work
- reasoning ability
- ability to absorb new ideas, often presented abstractly, at a rapid pace.
It will be normal for your ideas subsequently to change in some ways as you investigate the evidence and develop your project. You should nevertheless make the best effort you can to demonstrate the extent of your research question, sources and method at this moment.
Written work:
Two essays of 2,000 words each
Academic essays or other writing samples from your most recent qualification, written in English, are required. Extracts from longer pieces are welcome but should be prefaced by a note which puts them in context and it should be indicated with square brackets which elements have been omitted from the original piece of work.
Ideally the works should relate to the proposed area of study. The word count does not need to include any bibliography or brief footnotes.
This will be assessed for a comprehensive understanding of the subject area, an understanding of problems in the area, an ability to construct and defend an argument, your powers of analysis and powers of expression.
References/letters of recommendation:
Three overall, generally academic
Whilst you must register three referees, the department may start the assessment of your application if two of the three references are submitted by the course deadline and your application is otherwise complete. Please note that you may still be required to ensure your third referee supplies a reference for consideration.
Normally, references will be provided by individuals familiar with the applicant's academic performance. In exceptional circumstances, other professional references will be accepted.
Your references will support exceptional academic motivation; capacity for sustained and intense work; developed ability to organise time and set own agenda for study; and an intrepid attitude towards investigation and learning.

I refuse to call them "the best of the year", because I haven't read all the stories of the year, and haven't even read all the major publications, never mind the minor ones.
I've provided links to any commentary I've made about the stories in reviews, to the story itself if it was published online, or, at the least, to the author's or publisher's website.
Some observations: Far more out-and-out fantasy than out-and-out science fiction, which is a significant change in my reading habits and/or tastes. For some reason, fantasy appealed to me far more than science fiction this year. (Stories in the margins of those two labels appealed to me the most, but this is not new.)
- "Flat Diane" by Daniel Abraham (F&SF Oct/Nov)
- "The Golden Age of Fire Escapes" by John Aegard
- "Sand Dollars and Apple Halves" by Barth Anderson
- "The Pasho" by Paolo Bacigalupi (Asimov's, September)
- "Tammy Pendant" by Chris Beckett (Asimov's, March)
- "Hurricane Sandrine" by Daniel Braum
- "The Rules of Gambling" by Richard Butner
- "Revenge of the Calico Cat" by Stepan Chapman (Leviathan 4)
- "A Keeper" and "Tetrarchs" by Alan DeNiro
- "Labyrinth City" by Rudi Dornemann
- "The Library" by Carol Emshwiller
- "Women are Ugly" by Eliot Fintushel
- "Johnny Beansprout" by Esther M. Freisner (F&SF, July)
- "The Continuing Adventures of Rocket Boy" by Daryl Gregory (F&SF, July)
- "Pictures on a Cafe Wall" by Damian Kilby
- "The Redundant Order of the Night" by Jay Lake
- "Music Lessons" by Douglas Lain
- "Stone Animals" by Kelly Link
- "Withdraw, Withdraw!" by Nick Mamatas
- "The Ideas" by David Moles
- "Life in Stone" by Tim Pratt
- "Cold Fires" by M. Rickert
- "Night Waking" by Benjamin Rosenbaum
- "The Voluntary State" by Christopher Rowe
- "Delhi" by Vandana Singh
- "Secret Life" and "Three Days in a Border Town" by Jeff VanderMeer
- "Glinky" by Ray Vukcevich (F&SF, June)
- "2.30" by Leslie What
The majority of the writers on the list are people whose names I did not know 5 years ago.
The July and October issues of F&SF particularly appealed to me.
Most of the writers are men. The women's stories, though, are some of my absolute favorites of the year. (I've just tried to analyze this and ended up deleting what I wrote three times because what I was saying seemed stupid, so I will not analyze it, just note it.)
Something I didn't expect: Of online magazines, stories from Strange Horizons stuck with me far more than stories from SciFiction, even though I thought SciFiction had a strong year and Strange Horizons was mixed. As I went back and really looked at stories, though, what I found was that I felt SciFiction was reliable and good but seldom astonishing, while Strange Horizons was sometimes not at all interesting but also more likely to be astonishing. This was also true of the small press magazines vs. the big press magazines. F&SF seemed quite solid throughout the year, with some real high spots, Asimov's seemed overall quite dull (but generally competent), while small press magazines published things that I tended to find either half-baked or flat-out brilliant.
There are no stories from Realms of Fantasy on the list. I read quite a few, and some were pretty good, but none that I read were more than that in any way that stuck with me. This could be more my fault than the magazine's.
I look forward to seeing how my taste matches up with awards nominations and best-of-the-year anthologies. There will be a little bit of overlap, I expect, but also significant differences, both because I haven't had a chance to read everything, and because my taste is somewhat odd.
A few people who are friends of mine within the writing world have stories on the list. A few people who are friends of mine within the writing world do not have stories on the list. This does not necessarily mean that I am entirely and completely objective. (But I do try to be.)

Some of the toughest decisions any of us will ever make will take place in a doctor's office. But before those decisions ever come up, doctors must often wrestle with the options themselves. And those options are growing more complicated every year. In this next to last episode in our series Future Docs, we ask how today's medical students are learning to grapple with tomorrow's ethical questions.
Maybe you remember a television show called St. Elsewhere - a medical drama that ran on NBC in the early eighties. It was one of the first such shows to peel the curtain back on medicine and portray doctors not as infallible, all-knowing gods, but real people struggling with real conflicts. Maybe the ethical issues doctors were dealing with back then weren't any less gut wrenching, but they seem somehow a bit less complicated, like in this episode from 1983. A doctor's patient dies of cancer. He thinks it's pretty clear. But his boss wants him to ask the family's permission to do an autopsy just to make sure.
Doctor 1: "That's the family I've got to get the release for the autopsy from.
Doctor 2: "I don't envy you."
Widow: "No! He's been through enough."
Doctor 1: "It's a very simple procedure."
Widow: "I don't want a bunch of strangers cutting James up!"
Doctor 1: "An autopsy could help us understand the cancer better."
Widow: "He's dead, doctor. That's all I need to know. Now let the dead rest in peace."
Doctor 1: "Ordinarily I would agree with you, but in this particular case…."
Widow: "Two years I watched my husband suffer. No more. Do you hear me? No more!"
The ethical dilemma there? Whether to cheer harder for scientific understanding or a grieving family's wishes.
Doctors still have to wrangle with that one. But a lot has changed since then. Advances in medicine have given us a dazzling spectrum of options to prolong or alter life. The rising cost of health care and the growing number of uninsured are forcing us to make increasingly difficult decisions about who gets care and what kind. The speed of change and discovery is quickening and in many ways we're still pressing the creases out of the map, trying to figure out where we are.
"We are entering sort of in this new frontier. And it's placing greater demands on physicians to be prepared to have these types of conversations."
Doctor Jay Baruch teaches emergency medicine at Brown University's Warren Alpert Medical School, where he also helps coordinate what students learn about medical ethics. He says medical students need training and practice before they encounter ethical dilemmas with their own patients.
"Once students get on the wards, once you enter into clinical practice, you realize that so much of medicine is sort of wrapped up in messiness and ambiguity," says Baruch.
But how do you teach future doctors—students who often excel at soaking up information and having the right answers—to unwrap so much messiness and ambiguity? Baruch says you give them tools.
"Part of the education in educating residents and young physicians and medical students," Baruch says, "is often times not necessarily giving them skills that they don't already have."
Because hopefully, Baruch says, the school has already admitted smart, sensitive people.
"It's the fact that we're all human beings. And we need a framework," says Baruch. "We need an approach to think through these issues when we're in it."
For first and second year medical students at Brown University, that means weaving ethics into classroom lectures and discussions. It also means giving students the chance to work through examples – or case studies. That's what they did in this recent workshop.
In a conference room in Brown's medical school, a group of students looks over a packet of information about a fictional patient. He's got a terminal illness. He speaks very little English. And his wife seems not only to be undermining his care but possibly looking forward to profiting from his death. The workshop leader frames the issue.
Leader: "So, how can you address that as a physician…end-of-life decision-making?"
There's a group of students, some in short white lab coats, sitting around a conference table. And this second year medical student tries out an answer.
Student: "I guess I would address it with really open-ended questions, but also possibly ask if he's thought about what might happen after that point…"
The workshop leader nods. He's on the right track.
"And what's that called?"
His answer? An advance directive.
An advance directive is a legal document that tells health care professionals and loved ones how you'd like to be cared for in an emergency, especially if you can't make decisions for yourself. Here's what's sticky about this one: doctors swear an oath to do no harm. And usually that means trying to save someone's life, no matter the consequence. But the more ways we invent to keep people alive, the longer we're living. Trouble is, that living can come at a great financial cost… and without the quality of life we might prefer. The workshop leader says that's a tough conversation to have with a patient at the very end.
Leader: "So, practically speaking, if you're the outpatient physician or the palliative care physician and you have someone who has a progressive neurodegenerative disease, it behooves you to go over that information with the patient."
Student: "Do you do that early on, as one of the first sessions?"
The group of students tackling this case study included some nursing and social work students. You wouldn't have seen them in a medical school 30 years ago. But their participation is a sign of another shift in health care that's bringing more new ethical issues into focus.
"We've moved from sort of a Marcus Welby focus on what it means to be a doctor to a much more team approach to health and health care," says Mildred Solomon, president of the Hastings Center, which in 1969 became the first bioethics think tank in the country.
Working more often as part of a health care team, rather than a lone wolf practitioner, means doctors will have to adjust the way they make decisions, or how they approach an ethical question. And Solomon says there's another new role doctors are being asked to play in our changing health care system: cost controller.
"That's a challenge to medical ethics. You want your doctor to be there as your advocate," says Solomon. "But doctors also need to integrate into their sense of professionalism a leadership role in helping to fix our health care system. And a sense of responsibility for community health, population health, as well as for the patient across the desk."
Solomon says introducing medical students to these conundrums is critical. Because future doctors will be the gatekeepers of all the new medical technology and advances in care we have to offer that community. Learning how to dole it out responsibly, she says, is the new frontier for physicians in training.

My World of Tanks – v4
Title: World of Tanks
Type: Video Game
Released: 12th April 2011
Produced by: Wargaming.net
Game modes: Multiplayer game
Last time I updated on my World of Tanks career was in November 2013. A LOT of things have changed for me. In January I found out that a few of my friends were playing World of Tanks quite a bit, so I got half a year of Premium Membership and quickly after I decided to get the Premium Tier VIII German Heavy Tank "Löwe". Things escalated massively from there on, but first my primary moneymaker:
So last time I updated my World of Tanks status, I was deeply invested in Tiger I and Tiger II. Let's just say, I couldn't resist this line and went forth to obtain the Tier 10 (X) tank in the Line, the E-100 and it was much easier than I expected, because playing with the E-75 that was after Tiger II was such a pleasure, especially with the top gun, so I went and got those two early on:
As you might notice, I bought camouflage for both of them, and I also went ahead and bought it for my Tiger II and as previously my Tiger I also had it, so here they are:
Of course while playing with my German heavy tanks, I also followed up on my initial line of tanks, my German Tank Destroyers. Last time I was at the JagdPzIv, but this soon changed with my additional income. I got the Jagdpanther and I even went further and just recently got the Jagdpanther II. I am also working my way steadily towards the Ferdinand and of course the JagdTiger.
So I told you my friends were playing and they liked playing other types of tanks, so I got a bit inspired and I was also told of the promised land, which is the Russian heavy tanks around Tier 6 (VI) and Tier 7 (VII), so I went for the Russian heavy tanks:
I was also influenced to try out the Russian Tank Destroyers, since I haved died my fair amount of times to their damage. I reached the SU-152, but it is so cumbersome, so I have kind of stopped playing / progressing that tank destroyer for now, but here's my progress so far:
In other areas I decided to try out medium tanks and scout tanks. So I got the following tanks:
Finally, after what seems like a ton of tanks, I decided to platoon up with one of my friends by getting the Hellcat, the fast moving and hard hitting American Tank Destroyer:
The last tank I have to show in this round, is the Pz. Sfl. V (Tier VII), it is on the line for the WT Auf E-100 (Tier X) and boy have I died horribly and been scared shitless by the ferocity of a Tier 10 autoloader tank destroyer, so I want it of course!
Well that is all for now! I just reached 5000 battles played, I'm not sure if I'm proud or scared of that number, but the game is fun and I keep wanting to become better at angling, aiming and blowing other people up!
My current goals right now are:
- Get the Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger, Tier 8 (VIII) Tank Destroyer after the Pz. Sfl. V
- Get the Jagdtiger through playing the Jagdpanther II
- Finish the Jagdpanther by unlocking the Ferdinand
- Maybe go for the Panther II.

If you are a wine lover, you should definitely keep on reading. This wine company Milestii Mici In Moldova was registered in Guinness Records in August 2005 for being the biggest wine collection in the world. It contains over 2 million bottles of wine of high quality, at least winemakers think so.
Milestii Mici is 250 kilometers long and stores a variety of old wines, the oldest from 1969, everything from "Pinot", "Muscat" and "Riesling" to "Codru", "Negru de Purcari" and "Auriu". It's open for visitors some times, and the lucky ones get a guided tour through Milestii Mici where there are rows and rows of carefully laid down
wine bottles. 70% of the wines are red, 20% white and 10% dessert.
The wine collection, also called
the "Golden Collection makes not just Milestii Mici proud, but also of the country and Europe. One of the wines is quite expensive, up to €480 per bottle.

This is without doubt the hardest subject to date to express an opinion upon, as it extends beyond my experience.
I have written and generally write on what I know, that which I have experienced, and understand.
However such is my concerns on this subject I feel the need to express my feelings on it even if it is for my own benefit and resolution of those inner concerns and fears for us as a species.
To understand society we need to see what is trending, what has been and see what is to come, understanding the 'DESIGN' which is culture, the act of social conditioning on the population.
The primary aim of life is to reproduce and to date the primary group which does this is indatcted and described as male, and female.
If an adult non gender specific person wishes to be addressed in a way which suits their mindset, I have no issues with that, life has a right to express itself in all its forms.
Where I draw the line, when others or the law becomes an issue for me, is when they tell me how I should think or feel, how I should behave to another person, genderless or otherwise, forcing my hand and having my own gender preference belittle so others can supersede my feelings and wellbeing. Some of the very issues the non-binary person feels.
If we are going to live in a fair and open society then let it be so, for all genders, races, sexual preferences and so on.
I have one major concern with this latest movement, let's leave the children out of this until they are sexually maturing, unless the child expressed awareness of their confusion.
It is one thing to be open and mature to the degrees of gender based orientation, sexual orientation, and it is another to socially engineer the young into confusion and a path which is not in the child's interest.
This social conditioning of the young before puberty is seeking to create a genderless society, for many reasons. So before I continue let me be clear for the deaf out their.
If you are an adult who has walked a path of gender reassignment, or prefer
genderless titles, great, I get it, I am pleased for you and hope you are happy in life.
The same applies for all adult humans, regardless of race or color and so on.
If you were a child who knew you did not fit your gender, or you played as a girl one day, or a boy the next for that is how you felt, then I do not apply what I say next to you; for your awareness of your internal conflict confirmed your need for change and support, so to have a network out there for any individual who experiences these issues is a good thing.
What really concerns me though goes beyond the individual which is not a threat to the species as a whole.
What is a threat is the 'rewiring' of the natural in ALL of us.
This mental and biochemical changes which is happening in us is by the poisoning of the species for an agenda; a long term agenda of transhumanism which is and will attack the rights of them, they, man & woman.
We will all be fucked of free choice in the end, for we are being intellectually, mentally brainwashed and chemically altered to view this coming agenda, transhumanism, as acceptable in all it's forms by the programming of our species; and those people who see themselves as genderless are being used just as women have been, and as men have been throughout history.
This is socially engineering and they use the voice of the minority to shut down the majority, the new weapon of the 21st century. Psyops of the invisible sword, the PC world, in effect fascism.
This is the slow and methodical removal of a gender society which will be replaced by state controlling every aspect of our lives, including the reproduction of our species, with the state in full control of the child from birth to death.
Society is already made this way as it is, however the future will see a more insidious version of it.
The genderless society is perfect for state control as it will be inherently less aggressive, and this is why, they, the elites want it.
Fighting for your rights is a fantastic thing, just make sure you do not tread on others for yours alone.
Balance is required, or you become a puppet and an aggressive one at that, fighting and possibly killing for an agenda and power structure which is not your own as our ancestors have done.
It is a good thing to protect what we are, lets all be sure of why and what we are fighting for when we do; for to fight oneself is quite simply insanity, be sure you and your feelings are not being used by the insidious nature of men and women of power.
May we all be free, and enlightened to the world around us.
