VICE PRESIDENT: John Adams (1735-1826), of Massachusetts, served 1789-1797. See "John Adams, 2d President."
Secretary of State. (1) Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), of Virginia, served 1790-1793. See "Thomas Jefferson, 3d President," "Career before the Presidency." (2) Edmund Jennings Randolph (1753-1813), of Virginia, served 1794-1795. Author of the Randolph (or Virginia) plan, favoring the large states, at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Transferred from attorney general, he remained aloof of the struggle between Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. Denounced by supporters of both, he was largely ineffective and was forced to resign amid unfounded charges that he had misused his office for private gain. (3) Timothy Pickering (1745-1829), of Massachusetts, served 1795-1800. Transferred from war secretary, he was a staunch Hamiltonian and stayed on in the Adams administration.
Secretary of the Treasury. (1) Alexander Hamilton (c. 1755-1804), of New York, served 1789-1795. President Washington's closest advisor, he was a great admirer of British institutions and a master of power politics. He saw his role in the government as that of prime minister. His influence went beyond economics to include foreign affairs, legal matters, and long-range social planning. He advocated and helped create a strong central government at the expense of states' rights. He put the infant nation on sound financial footing by levying taxes to retire the national debt and promoted the creation of a national bank. He also advocated tariffs to insulate fledgling American manufacturing from foreign competition. Hamilton's vision of America's future encompassed the evolution from a largely agrarian society to an industrial giant, a national transportation program to facilitate commerce and blur regional differences, a strong permanent national defense, and a sound, conservative monetary system. Even after resigning his post, he kept his hands on the controls of power. Washington continued to consult him. Hamilton's successor, Oliver Wolcott, and others in the cabinet took his advice. He even helped draft Washington's Farewell address. The foremost conservative leader of his day, he was anathema to Thomas Jefferson and his supporters. (2) Oliver Wolcott (1760-1833), of Connecticut, served 1795-1800. A lawyer and Hamilton supporter, he stayed on in the Adams administration.
Secretary of War. (1) Henry Knox (1750-1806), of Massachusetts, served 1789-1794. Chief of artillery and close adviser to General Washington during the Revolution and war secretary under the Articles of Confederation, he was a natural choice for this post. He pressed for a strong navy. Fort Knox was named after him. (2) Timothy Pickering (1745-1829), of Massachusetts, served January-December, 1795. A lawyer and veteran of the Revolution, he strengthened the navy. He resigned to serve as secretary of state. (3) James McHenry (1753-1816), of Maryland, served 1796-1800. He had served as a surgeon during the Revolution and was a prisoner of war. He stayed on in the Adams administration. Fort McHenry at Baltimore was named after him.
Attorney General. (1) Edmund Jennings Randolph (1753-1813), of Virginia, served 1789-1794. He helped draft President Washington's proclamation of neutrality. Washington disregarded his opinion that a national bank was unconstitutional. He resigned to become secretary of state. (2) William Bradford (1755-1795), of Pennsylvania, served 1794-1795. He was a state supreme court justice at the time of his appointment. (3) Charles Lee (1758-1815), of Virginia, served 1795-1801. He was a brother of Henry "Light-Horse Harry" Lee. He urged, unsuccessfully, that the United States abandon its policy of neutrality and declare war on France. He stayed on in the Adams administration.
ADMINISTRATION: April 30, 1789-March 3, 1797.
Precedents. "Many things which appear of little importance in themselves and at the beginning," President Washington observed, "may have great and durable consequences from their having been established at the commencement of a new general government."10 With this in mind, then, he proceeded cautiously, pragmatically, acting only when it seemed necessary to flesh out the bare-bones framework of government described so sparingly in the Constitution: (1) In relying on department heads for advice, much as he had used his war council during the Revolution, he set the pattern for future presidents to consult regularly with their cabinet. (2) Because Congress did not challenge his appointments, largely out of respect for him personally rather than out of principle, the custom evolved that the chief executive generally has the right to choose his own cabinet. Congress, even when controlled by the opposition party, usually routinely confirms such presidential appointments. (3) How long should a president serve? The Constitution did not then say. Washington nearly set the precedent of a single term, for he had originally decided to retire in 1793, but remained for a second term when it became clear that the nonpartisan government he had so carefully fostered was about to fragment. Thus he set the two-term standard that lasted until 1940. (4) When John Jay resigned as chief justice, Washington went outside the bench for a successor rather than to elevate one of the sitting justices to the top position, as many had expected him to do. In disregarding seniority as a necessary qualification to lead the Supreme Court, Washington established the precedent that has enabled his successors to draw from a much more diverse and younger talent pool than that of a handful of aging incumbent jurists.
Indian Affairs. In 1791 President Washington dispatched forces under General Arthur St. Clair to subdue the Indians who had been resisting white settlement of the Northwest Territory. St. Clair failed, having been routed by Miami Chief Little Turtle on the Wabash River. Washington then turned to Revolutionary War veteran "Mad" Anthony Wayne, who before launching the expedition spent many months training regular troops in Indian warfare. He marched boldly into the region, constructed a chain of forts, and on August 20, 1794, crushed the Indians under Little Turtle in the Battle of Fallen Timbers near present-day Toledo, Ohio. Under the terms of the Treaty of Greenville (1795), the defeated tribes ceded disputed portions of the Northwest Territory to the

What the Tooth Fairy Will Pay: A Leading Economic Indicator
Are we in the United States suffering the effects of a deflationary economy? Are we in the throes of rampant deflation, just like Japan? For that matter, is Japan really suffering from deflation? How do we define deflation? Is the absence of inflation good enough to make it deflation, or does the currency have to actually buy more than it used to? And more of what, exactly? Pork bellies, laptops, coffeemakers? How about eggs? What would constitute irrefutable proof that it's deflation? Is there any one leading economic indicator that would tell us?
Surely, there are experts who will give a definitive answer. I'm just way too preoccupied to look it up. But lots of people seem to be worried about deflation. I know, because occasionally I visit the Hubpages Forums.
I don't have time to think about this. I am very busy revising my play The Debt Collector. I have no time to worry about economic issues. So I let the whole thing slide.
The Process of Revision
So I'm going through the play, and in the play Mrs. Hauser, the landlady, is trying to collect $550.00 of back rent from the Lark family. I wonder about that sum. A rent house for a family like the Larks in my neck of the woods would run between $450.00 to $550.00 per month. Of course, I live in the rural Ozarks, and the Larks, well, the Larks lived in the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex around 1985. So, even though rent here is comparable, maybe over there it's not that way, anymore.
Should I change the amount of back rent they owe? If so, which way? Up or down?
Our Chickens Lay Eggs and Cause Deflation
The Going Rate for Baby Teeth
The Price of Eggs
This revision process is driving me crazy. I like the play the way it is. I don't want to change a single word. But will current day audiences accept that it only costs a quarter to play a Planetbuster video game at the grocery store? Who would believe that?
For that matter, is $20.00 not a little low for a Planetbuster game that you can take home with you? My daughter tells me she needs $40.00 to buy a new game for her DSi. But it's not really comparable, is it? The technology has changed.
Bow sends me off to the refrigerator to prepare lunch. There's no room in there. Everything is full of eggs. Eggs everywhere, but no cartons to put them in. I haven't bought eggs in ages. Not since our hens started laying.
But the price of eggs has gone down recently. It's around a dollar a dozen. Is it because I -- and other people --- started raising chickens that the price of eggs went down?
Are eggs a leading economic indicator? Is this proof that there is deflation?
But why can't I buy more of the things I really want with my money? I don't want to buy eggs. It does me no good that the price of eggs has gone down. Is that what it takes to bring the price of things down? That you don't want them, anymore?
The Tooth Fairy
If we go by any one commodity, then we can't know for sure that when its price goes down, we are in a deflationary phase. It could be just a fluke, this thing with eggs. It could be well-off suburbanites who decided to raise chickens that brought the price of eggs down, rather than the bulk of the poor and unemployed who can no longer afford to buy groceries. It could be a trendy thing, like Marie Antoinette playing at country life.
So I go back to my script, and Sophie wants to raise twenty dollars to buy that Planetbuster game. She starts to list the money raising schemes available. She has a loose tooth, and when it comes out, it'll earn her a quarter from the tooth fairy.
A quarter! Just a quarter? Why, I happen to know for a fact that today's tooth fairy pays a dollar a tooth! I know, because I'm a mother, and it's my business to know these things. If we use the tooth fairy as an economic indicator, then today's dollar is worth a quarter of the dollar in 1985. That is serious inflation.
It means that all the little children who lost teeth in the 1980s and stashed their loot in their mattresses have had seventy-five cents out of every dollar stolen from them! Or if not that, it means that children who were paid for four teeth in 1985, and kept the money, can now only pay their own children for one tooth with that dollar.
I am so overcome by this realization, that I stop dead in my tracks.
The tooth fairy as a leading economic indicator
Do you have the same data as I do? Do your tooth fairy experiences jive with mine? If so, I propose that we stop paying attention to the price of other commodities and focus on the tooth fairy's going rate. Because children are given this money to spend as they will, then it doesn't matter what the price of eggs might be or the price of video games. This covers the entire economy and anything worth buying.
Has the tooth fairy's rate gone down since the recent economic decline? If it hasn't, then it's not deflation.
And with that mystery solved, I'll go back to revising my script. Should I change a quarter to a dollar in the updated version? What do you think?

In Case There's a Fox
An article on innovations in price indexing:
Aya Katz-
Interesting points here re Barbie-perhaps due to over- supply? When we got Barbie dolls there certainly wasn't the range there is now ...we got a doll and we were very happy to occasionally get a new item of clothing for it-not so in recent times.
It's not so much that salaries have gone down here..it's actual disposable income.The government have consistently bailed out the banks and are forcing us the taxpayers to pay-they introduced compulsory levies on incomes last years,so with the same salary an average household could be down 1600 euro per month on top of previous taxes!Businesses ,of course ,are closing down at a phenomenally fast rate-there has been no reduction in the minimum wage-so there is little incentive to employ people.
I don't imagine gas/oil would be reliable indicators as prices fluctuate so wildly.
I didn't take into account the corn syrup angle in the US-thankfully it's not an issue here.So really the Mars Bar is now a dumping ground for the left-overs of an over-produced vegetable....unfortunately that blows the economists theory out of the water-!
It's a tough one .
There has been a drop in prices here on many items -but of course there has also been a shift in what is now seen as value for money...many are now growing their own fruit and veg and raising hens .Self sufficiency is the order of the day,and allotments are now back in fashion(a piece of arable land rented out for a nominal sum).
On an island it's not so easy to buy elsewhere..except of course we can go to Northern Ireland (GB),but in the long run our own economy suffers further while another benefits.Anyway most of Europe is in a financial mess currently-so we are not alone in our financial cesspool.
Apologies for hogging your hub-it was good fun though.....and I still haven't come up with an answer...I'll watch this space with keen anticipation.
Mind you ,buying dollars isn't such a bad idea at the moment-for those who can or care to.
I think most people are too busy working .keeping the heads down and just getting on with the business of living-while feeling huge resentment and anger with our government and bankers:)
Aya Katz
Then the real question is -how do we measure purchasing power, and what causes it to change?. As far as I understand it, purchasing power is what the tooth fairies payment for a tooth will buy for the child. How many cookies or new computer games can she buy with the money?
Some time ago (according to the Financial Times) an economist decided that the currency notes left by the tooth fairy were simply not a very reliable or useful measure. He suggested that instead of asking how much one can buy for a dollar-we should use the Mars bar as a medium of exchange for determining transactions in the economy –how many Mars Bars equivalents will buy a mustang –or pay my babysitter?Isuppose one could also use a McDonalds. The value of the dollar /euro./yen fluctuates so much and for so many reasons that it's much more sensible to focus on the value of a Mars Bar. In other words...How many Mars Bars can a child get with the money the tooth fairy leaves.
Now ,that's what I think is common sense and a good indicator of whats happening in the economy (and in the lives of families).It may also be of use in determining how much a tooth fairy would have left to a child years ago.
To come back to the Irish situation, it seems that as unemployment increases, two things are happening-The first is that people are decreasing their level of indebtedness because they have fears about the future. The second –people are increasing their savings. This is because people have learned that lots of credit card fuelled spending and many bank loans ,based on perceptions of wealth i.e. the value of houses/investments/pensions is a pure illusion. Should I say delusion?With the value of houses dramatically down and still falling: investments in bank shares have 'tanked' and so have the value of our pension funds.It helps that the banks are not lending now .So,we are less wealthy...we have less money to spend and we spend less of that money,
In a spooky world, maybe we are rediscovering the virtues of saving.
Aya Katz
In fact there is nothing technical about what is happening-parents ,and chldren,are having to re-learn the value of money.The economic adjustment in Ireland is currently very brutal-basically the economy has imploded- with high unemployment and increased taxation on earners .Prior to this there was an extended boom-or so it seemed.Many people overstretched themselves anyway during this period -buying up investment properties and ,of course,using credit -much of which they still have to pay for (if the repossession man hasn't already got there).
At the top end of the housing market-a house bought 5/6 years ago for 50M euro cannot get a buyer for 13M-at the average end -a house bought in 2006 for 1.2M euro will be doing well in many cases to get 400K .
Disposable incomes are,quite suddenly, way down and reality has hit home-and so the 'constants',birthday gifts,Santa,and I've no doubt ,the Irish tooth fairy have taken a hammering .
I have to say I really enjoyed this hub-and it has sparked off much discussion this am.Thank you.
I don't have an answer-but it's certainly a very pertinent question!
I spoke with a woman a few days ago whose young daughter had received an invitation to a birthday party....the sender had suggested (to all) that five euro would be perfectly acceptable as a gift.Two years ago ,the usual gift was 25 euro.
This information ,of course, is not answering your question-but ,it certainly appears that current values of gifts to kids is a pretty good indicator of the state of economy .
Enjoyed your hub enormously.
I had a few other thoughts to share, but was interrupted by a phone call. I can't remember the going rate for the tooth fairy when my son was little in the mid to late nineties. Some people gave dollars, one or more, but our fairy prefered to give change. I think there were wide discrepancies instead of a standard rate. I think the going rate for a kid's birthday gift of money has changed much more drastically. When I was a kid in the 60's, $1 was the standard for a kid to kid gift. When my son was having birthday parties 8 or 10 years ago, some people gave $20! Now that's inflation.
Of course, there is deflation in the housing market currently. That's a biggie.
Good luck with your play. Sounds like a great project.
Here's a table starting from 1951:
It hasn't quite tripled since 1985 but has grown somewhat faster than CPI.
I haven't been able to find a good table for the NAWI
(National Average Wage Index) which is used by Social Security to discount earnings when calculating benefits.
But here is a graph:
It appears to have approximately tripled since 1985.
Interesting article. I didn't know you wrote plays. If it's a period play, keep the numbers what they would have been in '85. People are aware of inflation. We all remember when stamps, sodas, and salaries were lower.
I've noticed deflation in certain commodities & services, seemingly all driven by cheap foreign labor, whether imported (laborers/goods) or outsourced. For example, I remember, sometime in the 90's, when it cost about $40 to get your grass cut by an teenager in a Southern urban community. This was before the great influx of illegal immigrants, which altered the supply and demand for the service to where it now costs about half what it did then. Almost anything you can buy at a dollar store is actually cheaper than it was several years ago. A good leather purse (not designer label inflated) can be purchased for less now than when I was in college in the 70's.
The bureau of Labor statistics publishes a monthly price index called the "Consumer Price Index for all urban
consumers" which is the indicator most commonly used to measure inflation. Here you may find historical data going back to 1913.
In 1985, the consumer price index was around 107. Th
most recently reported value was 218.312, just a little more than double. This corresponds to an average annualized inflation rate of about 3% over the 25 year
period since 1985.

Woman 'sent explicit sex snaps to ex-boyfriend's child in bid for revenge'
A WOMAN sent her ex-boyfriend's child private photos of explicit sex acts, according to police.
Charlotte Elaine Klisares is accused of sending the images to the man's 17-year-old son and other family members.
The 46-year-old claims that her former partner had threatened to send their home-made sex tape to her friends and family.
So the estate agent, from the US city of Des Moines, Iowa, decided to turn the tables on him, according to local news broadcaster KCCI.
"He was clearly bothered by this. This is definitely nothing that he wanted"Police sergeant Paul Parizek
In court documents seen by the TV station, Klisares admitted to distributing the photos via her Facebook profile in late June.
Police sergeant Paul Parizek said: "The whole thing started with a domestic situation with her and her now ex-boyfriend.
"They'd split up, there was some arguing going back and forth and both were kind of alleging some harassment.
"It was pretty obvious to us that she didn't think it through. it was an emotional knee-jerk reaction."
The officer added that his force's focus as the case moved forward was on the wellbeing of the teen targeted.
He said: "We were more concerned with the reaction of the minor, and he was clearly bothered by this,"
"This is not something he expected to see (and) definitely nothing that he wanted."
In a statement, Klisares' lawyer said the allegations were an attempt to intimidate, harass and bully her.
The statement didn't indicate a plea, but pledged to "address these allegations through the criminal justice system".
"We are confidant that the truth of these allegations will become apparent once both sides of the story come to light," it said.

This is a very fine, detailed drawing of waterfowl by listed American artist JOYCE HAGERBAUMER REED (1945-). Reed's limited edition signed prints are commonly encountered, but original works are more scarce. I've seen images of some that date back to the 1960's, and many more from the 1970's. This example is watercolor on paper, 12 " by 10 3/4" inside the matting (21 1/2" by 20 1/4" as framed), and is dated 1973. If you are considering settling for a framed signed print, consider this fine original work as an alternative. Circular area in a few photos behind the left duck's head is not damage---only a sort of hollow shadow created during the photography.

Tasty nibble
In your recent issue on Cocoa (NI 304) it was fascinating to follow the journey of the pod from its Ghanaian village to supermarket shelves in Britain. However, although you rightly focused on 'industrial' Big Chocolate, I would have appreciated some information about higher quality European chocolate. Not all of us chocoholics eat the industrial-grade stuff, preferring to nibble occasionally on the real thing, which though pricier, is far tastier and more satisfying.
As a consumer of such chocolate I would like to know more of its origins, especially as finding organic chocolate is not that easy in mainland Europe.
Also I missed the end-box detailing further reading and action groups – these contacts are always valuable.

Available cocoa
I read with interest the latest issue on the cocoa trade (NI 304). I would appreciate obtaining a chocolate bar from Ghana, either the Green and Black Maya Gold or the Golden Tree TQ bar.
Are either of these available to a resident of Canada?
Richard Beames
Vancouver, Canada
Editor: Unfortunately neither of these chocolate products is available in Canada.
The only fair-traded high cocoa bar I know of is Mascao, which is made from cocoa from Bolivia and Ecuador. It is sold by Bridgehead in Canada and by Oxfam and Traidcraft in Britain.

Gender equality
Well done to the NI for publishing a view of family planning from a male perspective (NI 303 'Not knitting an orgasm'). Unfortunately the NI has a past of largely ignoring the male aspect of any of its stories, resulting in skewed coverage that questions the reality of its supposed ethos of equality.
Disappointing since the magazine normally excels in enlightened understanding of a polarized world.
Fortunately you have had the courage to publish other readers' letters (from both women and men) about this imbalance in recent months. I hope these 'radical' steps mean the NI is shedding its reliance on stereotypes and evolving towards genuine gender equality.

Soft approach

Both sides now
I was disappointed to find that the author of 'A Moral Question' in the issue on reproductive rights (NI 303) made no secret of her stance on the issue of abortion.
I am not against abortion – though many years ago I did feel that the 'termination' of a foetus was somehow distressing and ugly and wrong, but subsequently I found myself in the position of having to have one myself. I still experienced my former feelings but came to realize that sometimes a sense of moral dis-ease has to be reconciled with practical and emotional issues. Abortion can be a difficult thing to do, however much we believe in the importance of its availability to all.
The debate is often focused on 'sides' - either we are on the mother's 'side' or on that of the foetus. Personally, I'm on both, because in the case of an unwanted pregnancy a life will always be sacrificed; either the child's physically or the mother's economically, practically and socially.
My plea is for the abortion debate to actually be a debate. Less angry and less stereotyping of 'pro' and 'anti' positions.
Yes, there are extremists at both ends of the spectrum, but there are an awful lot of more moderate people in between; we just never see them in the media.

Portugal's referendum
With reference to your issue on reproduction (NI 303), Portugal and the Republic of Ireland are the most conservative countries in the European Union where legislation concerning abortion is concerned.
In Portugal abortion is illegal except for cases of rape, malformation of the foetus or when the mother's life is at risk. Women who undergo abortions for other reasons can be sentenced to jail for up to three years. As a consequence, many resort to clandestine abortion.
A recent referendum on this subject asked people if they agreeed with legalizing abortion when done at a woman's request in public health institutions for up to ten week's pregnancy. 49.09 per cent voted yes and 50.91 per cent voted no but approximately 70 per cent did not vote, so the results are not compelling.
Previously, Parliament had already approved a bill institutionalizing the current situation. This had been submitted to the referendum as an attempt to prevent more progressive legislation. I sincerely hope that women will not keep on dying as victims of botched abortions.

Troubling questions
Your Endpiece on Argentina's 'Dirty Peace' (NI 303) mentioned a master-torturer named Julian ' The Turk' Simon, evidently well-known but not yet brought to justice by the country's corrupt Government.
Some troubling questions arise: who provided that piece of slime? His parenting and schooling? Who will pursue the inquiry? Who is accountable? And who will prevent the production of more such fiends? By answering 'no-one' we condemn not just Argentina.

No resources
Your remarks in the Update (NI 302) on migrant workers in Malaysia imply that Malaysians are treating these people unfairly. Please be reminded that the loss of employment is now a pervasive problem in South-East Asia and is suffered by workers in all sectors – not exclusively the migrant ones.
Secondly, your quote of the wages of workers is misleading and does not warrant comparison with American or European wages since the standard of living is very much lower. The labourers are paid decently by local standards and certainly at least five times higher than what they would earn in their home countries.
Lastly you fail to include the fact that boatloads of up to 1,000 illegal immigrants are arriving daily. Illegal squatter areas mushroom across the country. We have no resources to cope with these people and the additional problems they represent.

Life and death in the hidden valley
Winters are long and summers short in the mountains of western Mongolia.
Louisa Waugh visits a sick family in a remote community.
Gerel Huu and her great grandson became sick at the same time. Five-year-old Yaluul sweated feverishly, but shook with cold and was wracked with a deep cough. Gerel Huu felt completely drained – for the first time in her long life she refused to rise from her bed. Her head throbbed so badly she could hardly bear to open her eyes.
The whole family was worried – from their remote settlement it was only 30 kilometres to the nearest village, but they lived halfway up a mountain and the river had already frozen. Yaluul's father, Erdenebat, mounted his horse, forded the narrow river and rode down to the valley floor. He cantered and then galloped into Tsengel village, stirred on by anxiety for his grandmother and his son. He easily found one of the three local doctors, who promised she'd be there in a few hours.
I was drinking tea and gossiping with two of my students when Dr Janer-Guul turned up. She had to leave right away. Was I coming to one of the hidden valleys amidst the mountains that surrounded my new home?
I grabbed my camera, ushered my students out of the room, and jumped into the battered but reliable Russian medical jeep.
Ours is the last western village in Mongolia – from here on there are only mountains, nomads and wild, beautiful, dangerous countryside. We crunched west along the high river bank, stirring camels and herds of sheep and goats, gradually climbing into the barren mountains. We turned a very sharp left and dragged the jeep up a narrow rocky valley. I thought we'd never make it – this fierce landscape is accessible only by horse and camel for months at a time. But the jeep plunged up and on – past crudely built wooden cabins where Mongolians, Tuuvans and Kazakhs herded for generations. We finally reached a small plateau where Gerel Huu, Yaluul and their extended family sheltered against overhanging rocks in their two wooden cabins.
'They've both got to go to hospital. We'll take them straight back with us,' stated Janer-Guul, calmly binding her stethoscope. But even now, Mongolian hospitality dictated that we sit around the cabin stove and drink bowls of salty milk tea and dried cheese curds – we couldn't just leave.
Locals trickled into the already darkening cabin – word of visitors gets around here fast. Gerel Huu listlessly packed a few clothes, wrapped them in a shawl, whilst Erdenebat sat cross-legged telling me the family history.
'We've lived in this valley for 18 years. I've got 110 livestock now – but the winter is brutal and long. Sometimes even the horses can't get through. It's very hard for Emee (grandmother) and the children.' Erdenebat's wife sat passively rocking her whimpering son. She looked a decade older than her 31 years. The men seem to thrive here in the mountains – they look robust and at ease. But many of the women appear completely jaded – exhausted from childbirth, raising and feeding their large families.
Gerel Huu is 78 and has outlived all but two of her seven children. She has 16 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren. She has lived all her life either in a one-room candle-lit cabin with narrow cots, or, in the brief summer, in the traditional Mongolian felt ger tent, carried by the family's camels to the fertile plains lower down in the valley. Her deeply lined skin testified to a life spent in these windswept mountains.
She now clutched my hand in her dry palm as we left her cabin and she hobbled toward the medical jeep. 'I need to go to hospital,' she confessed to me. 'But in summer you come and visit – it's beautiful and warm then.'
We crammed into the jeep – Janer-Guul, Yaluul and his silent mother, Gerel Huu, me and a young herder who also had to go to Tsengel.
As we lurched down the mountain, Gerel Huu held her head in her hands. 'Terrible, terrible!' she told me, her face puckered with pain. Yaluul was finally sleeping, rasping as he breathed.
We reached Tsengel's run-down hospital two hours later. I waved goodbye to the small party and wandered back to my own Mongolian ger, elated by the journey but subdued by this first encounter with life and death in the mountains.
Gerel Huu is fine – she's back in her valley and rises at dawn once more. Yaluul died in hospital five days later.

Hitman 2 features mission-based gameplay. On each level, the main character, known only as 47, is given a set of objectives to complete. Most levels require the assassination of one or more people. However, how missions are completed is up to the player, and there are almost always a variety of ways to complete missions. Instead of simply running and gunning through the mission, one can set traps, like poisoning a drink, to terminate the target in silence. Some missions have assassination possibilities unique to the level. Agent 47 has left behind his life as an assassin and retreated to a church in Sicily to seek peace. He works as a gardener for Father Vittorio, his best friend and mentor. 47 attends a confession to admit his sins, but Vittorio understands and believes 47 is decent at heart. Father Vittorio is kidnapped and a ransom note is left for 47.

What's Here
Find out what's on the Peninsula already as it emerges as a new neighbourhood for London.
You'll find a community of new settlers making their mark on an emerging part of London.
All of the neighbourhoods on Greenwich Peninsula are entirely new, this means the communities you build will be completely new too. It's a chance to make friends, invent fresh traditions and create the kind of place you want to live in.
Upper Riverside is a community within a community with its own character and amenities. Residents have membership of the Upper Riverside Club, with one of London's highest pools, two gyms, steam room, private cinema and private roof terraces all with views of the river.
The riverfront promenade is lined with destination restaurants, neighbourhood cafes and cool bars, creating a vibrant cosmopolitan atmosphere.
A new swathe of London that brings together 15,000 new homes, seven diverse neighbourhoods, culture, community, and the sense of a new place inventing itself before your eyes. It's also just 15 minutes to the West End.
Upper Riverside is Greenwich Peninsula's latest emerging neighbourhood, made up of five prisms. At their feet, pavement cafes, bars, destination restaurants and a sculptural 5km running trail, all with views of the water, creating a vibrant cosmopolitan atmosphere.
Upper Riverside is SOM's latest addition to the London skyline. A family of five prisms that point towards the water's edge with pavement cafes and restaurants at their feet. They form a twisting parabola that begins at The O2 and creates a stunning riverfront landmark.
The unique geography and architecture of Upper Riverside makes the most of the 270-degree panoramic river views. A series of cascading roof terraces shelter verdant spaces high above the water.
Interspersed with landscaped walkways, Upper Riverside's stepped and angled design brings an unusual quality of light. The façade of glass and stone ensures living spaces enjoy maximum daylight and river views.
Upper Riverside pays homage to its setting with apartments that prioritise comfort, light and space and the homes are well planned with an open, uncrowded feel.
Designed by State of Craft, the finishes speak of solidity and craftsmanship. Full-length windows and timber floors bring light and warmth to open living spaces. Modern kitchen appliances are seamlessly integrated with sleek cabinetry and thick stone workshops.
The bathrooms are well planned and impressively fitted. Natural oak timber, leathered stone and honed marble create an elegant sanctuary.

This is Tajikistan's biggest amnesty and covers Islamic fighters who fought against Mr Rakhmon's forces in a civil war during the mid-1990s.
"(This amnesty) is a humane act and will help the return of people who have committed crimes to civilian life, activity and family environment, as well as contribute to their correction," the presidential press service said in a statement late on Wednesday.
Mr Rakhmon has issued amnesties in the past to mark dates he considers important. The latest was in November 2009, when amnesty was granted to 10,000 prisoners to mark the 15th anniversary of the country's constitution. The 20th anniversary of Tajikistan's independence from the Soviet Union is on September 9.
Wedged into the south-east corner of Central Asia and bordering China and Afghanistan, mountainous Tajikistan is one of the poorest countries in the world.
Prison conditions in Tajikistan have been described as dreadful and torture has been allegedly commonplace.
John Dalhuisen, Europe and Central Asia Deputy Programme Director at Amnesty International, said that those people accused of Islamic extremism were particularly at risk of torture in Tajik prisons.
"No amnesty, irrespective of the number of people released, can disguise the widely reported allegations of torture and ill-treatment in places of detention in Tajikistan," he said
As well as releasing former Islamic fighters the draft amnesty covers those people who have served more than three-quarters of their sentence, draft-dodgers, people over 55-years-old and the ill.
Human rights groups have criticised the Tajik authorities this year for clamping down on the media as they try to fight off Islamic militants. It is not clear if political prisoners and those people imprisoned for crimes linked to freedom of speech issues will be included in the amnesty.
Last month police arrested local BBC reporter, 59-year-old Urunboy Usmonov, for being a member of the banned Islamic group Hizb-ut-Tahrir. He has denied the accusations. Usmonov is currently on bail, awaiting trial.

A true luxury car
User review on Bentley Mulsanne written by ishaan singh shrivastava on 10 August 2015
ishaan singh shrivastava's review on Bentley Mulsanne Sedan
Year of Manufacture : 2015 | Driven no. of Kms. : 5200
- Pros: royal interior design with lavish seating arrangement
- Cons: less boot space
I also agree with Amandeep and Ajay statements that, the fuel economy is low. The main aspect of the cabin is its lavish seating arrangement, wherein both the rows have individual seats. Its front seats are bestowed with 12-way electrical adjustment facility along with massive leg, shoulder and head space in both the cabins. However, it has a boot volume of 443 liters, which is a not as good as conventional sedan.

The first National Assembly session attended by Cambodia National Rescue Party parliamentarians was marked by calls for a new culture of cooperation – and some pointed comments from the prime minister.
While yesterday's short session included the creation of a new Anti-Corruption Commission, it featured more rhetoric than legislation as both sides used the end of the 10-month boycott to score political points.
In a speech, CNRP president Sam Rainsy declared the "political crisis" over and appealed to both parties to work together in a spirit of trust. "The agreement will open a new chapter in the history of Cambodia," he said.
Rainsy then called for an end to the culture of revenge and enmity.
"It's a culture of 'when the water rises, fish eat the ants, and when water subsides, the ants eat the fish'. But we are not ants and not fish. We are all humans. We are the same Khmer. We must work together to build our nation."
After welcoming the CNRP's 55 newly sworn in parliamentarians to the assembly, Prime Minister Hun Sen expressed dismay that they had taken so long, noting that the final agreement was similar to one proposed in September last year.
"We are sorry. Until [the CNRP] awakened, it brought sadness to the country," Hun Sen said.
Responding to Rainsy's comments, he said that when the CPP was in power, all parties could live with them.
Outside parliament, Hun Sen went on to ask the CNRP to stop calling the CPP puppets of the Vietnamese.
"I'm waiting to see whether this culture [of cooperation] will happen, and whether the CNRP is determined to work together with CPP. So I am waiting to see who opens attack first."
The hour-long session also saw the parliament begin ticking items off the list which had been agreed to in the July 22 deal.
First up was the creation of the Anti-Corruption Commission. The creation of the new CNRP-controlled commission, approved by a unanimous vote, means each party will control five of 10 commissions.
CNRP chief whip Son Chhay said in a telephone interview the next step would be to appoint the new vice president of the National Assembly, which is expected to be opposition deputy leader Kem Sokha.
The heads of each of the commissions could be appointed as early as next week, he added.
He said agreed-to reforms of the National Election Commission, the key concession that brought the CNRP back to the assembly, would have to wait until the new Permanent Committee was in place.
Commenting on yesterday's proceedings, Chhay said there was a different atmosphere in the assembly.
"I was very impressed by the speeches delivered by both leaders, and I hope the commitment to reform is real not just words," he said.
"Real reform can only take place when both parties can work together. And I hope the ruling party will see that reform will benefit everyone."

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has offered to take on UFC champion Conor McGregor in a fight, before admitting that he would probably 'last for just 10 seconds'.
The Frenchman, who is on verge of returning to action for the Gunners following a recent layoff, was answering questions with teammate Laurent Koscielny for the club's YouTube channel when the topic of UFC came up.
Koscielny questioned whether his countryman would even last as long as 10 seconds, with Giroud quickly adding: "I have never been in a cage fighting UFC but it would be nice to try."
Giroud then turned to the camera and jokingly offered out the Irishman, saying: 'So McGregor, when you want?', which was followed up by a cheeky wink.
McGregor was recently fined $150,000 (£121,000) and handed 50 hours of community service after confronting Nate Diaz in a press conference.

In response to media calls for release of emails regarding Benghazi, the White House dumped 94 pages of documents on reporters Wednesday that contradict Administration claims that changes to CIA talking points covering al-Qaida's involvement were driven by intelligence concerns.
The emails show heavy involvement by top Administration officials, particularly in Clinton's State Department, in changing the talking points to blame a YouTube video and spontaneous street protests.
The mainstream media have been focusing on the CIA talking points since ABC ran with its story last week that the Administration's message about the events that led to four American deaths in Benghazi had gone through at least a dozen revisions that drastically altered the content and obscured the involvement of terrorist organizations.
Trending: Trump Approval Rating Soars Past Obama's Dampening on Democrat 'Blue Wave'
That the Administration knew from the beginning that terrorists were involved is a key point, as President Obama kept blaming an anti-Islam video for at least two weeks. During the presidential debates, Obama flat-out lied to the viewing public about acknowledging terrorist involvement in Benghazi, a falsehood he only got away with because the debate's moderator, Candy Crowley, also lied to back him up.
It's also important because Susan Rice addressed the United Nations, and by extension the world, using the doctored talking points.
The ABC report apparently broke the media's logjam over reporting the Benghazi story, as one after another news organization has criticized the Administration this week.
Additional influences on the sudden change of media attitude have been the revelations about the Department of Justice spying on the Associated Press, along with the growing scandal over IRS harassment of Tea Party and conservative groups.
Old habits die hard. Even amid this month's cascade of scandals, some in the media, such as ABC's Jon Karl, are still trying to defend the Administration and Clinton, who is eying another run for president in 2016.
But the media situation for the Administration is dire, with even some of the most rabid Obama supporters growing disenchanted. Andrea Mitchell earlier this week expressed her alarm over the DOJ's seizing of AP phone records, and even Chris Matthews — he of the "thrill going up my leg" comment when talking about Obama in 2008 — has been turned off, saying Obama "obviously likes giving speeches more than he does running the executive branch."
Matthews' turnaround is like the conversion of the Ninevites, hoped-for but completely unexpected. Here's more of what he said:
"What part of the presidency does Obama like? He doesn't like dealing with other politicians — that means his own cabinet, that means members of the Congress, either party. He doesn't particularly like the press. … He likes to write the speeches, likes to rewrite what Favreau and the others wrote for the first draft. So what part does he like? He likes going on the road, campaigning, visiting businesses like he does every couple days somewhere in Ohio or somewhere. But what part does he like? He doesn't like lobbying for the bills he cares about. He doesn't like selling to the press. He doesn't like giving orders or giving somebody the power to give orders. He doesn't seem to like being an executive."
The emails released by the White House do not cover the first 60 hours or so after the attacks, so the White House is still withholding what is likely damning information.Considering the reactions so far, don't be surprised to see an invocation of executive privilege to keep the rest of the Benghazi emails under wraps.
What the released documents do show, however, is that Clinton and presidential spokesman Jay Carney were not telling the truth when they each said the talking points were rewritten by the CIA, driven by intelligence concerns. Chances that they would not have been aware of the details of the rewriting process seem almost infinitesimally small, so it's a safe bet that the two of them just outright lied to the public.
Perhaps most damning among the released documents, however, is a note from then-CIA director David Petraeus after all the editing, saying that because so much information was removed, "Frankly, I'd just as soon not use this, then."
White House officials are probably wishing they had listened.

The latest version of the older 2002/2003 AudioCD Library. I went ahead and took down version 1.1. This library makes it very easy to create a full CD Player based application. Does not rely on any 3rd Party controls either. 2002/2003
Version 1.3
: A new sub called: devicesAutoScanCDDrive() was added to the library. This function will do all the work of scanning the computer and listing the available CD/DVD Drives and set a drive as the default drive. Also added alot of XML comments to help you to get a better understanding of what each function, sub, and property will do for you.
Note: Unlike the previous 1.1 version, I included the source code to this version. You MUST adhere to the User Agreement as outlined in the library source code.

A small .dll I made with Managed C++ (with my buddy Mr Knights' help) that simply has 3x functions for returning the CPU's timestamp counter value (rdtsc).

This .dll can be used with any Visual Basic Language or any Language for that matter. Just change the Declares to whatever is required by that language.
RDTSC is the "Read Time Stamp Counter" register of the processor. The Timestamp value increments every time the cpu completes a cycle.

SharpUSB-Library v188.8.131.52
OK, I did not have anything to do with the developing of this Class. I simply listed it because I know others have trouble finding help with accessing USB busses and Devices and such. This is OpenSource and you need to follow the license info. Goto:
to get the latest versions and other important information including licensing. This 'Zip File' has all the files in it as it came from the official website. If the download here doesn't have all the info and such you need, then goto the website to find out what you need. They will of course have the latest versions and such.
Quick description from the author is as follows: "What is #usblib? SharpUSBLib is used for low level access to USB devices. It works under WIN32/.NET and Linux/Mono".
Please do not contact me about how to use this library or anything like that. I never used it and probably won't use it anytime soon. If I ever do I will make examples and such for it anyways. So please go to the website or the websites forum if you need help with it. I am simply a messenger. Hopefully this WILL help someone out there :)

Compatibility -
Visual Basic.NET 2002/2003 and Visual Basic 2005. - Most of these controls has been created with VB.NET 02/03. I do not remember if VB 05 can use the control from older versions of .NET? I am pretty sure that the older versions can't use the newer versions.

Performances in January - Gent, Los Angeles
I'm having 2 works performed in January by friends overseas. The first one, already past, was a performance of my "Another Noisy Lullaby" by Decibel at the Logos Foundation in Gent, Belgium, on January 17. Many thanks to Cat Hope and all the Logos Crew for including me in the program!
The second one, upcoming, on January 29, is a performance of my electronic piece "for Anne, who broke my heart" from 1974 as part of the Welcome Inn Time Machine performances. Here's a description of the whole event:
The Society for the Activation of Social Space Through Art and Sound (SASSAS) transforms Eagle Rock's Welcome Inn into a venue for live performances creating a free, six hour event featuring experimental music originating in Southern California, 1949 - 1977. Micro concerts take place in individual rooms allowing key moments in sound and music history to be experienced simultaneously and sequentially in a single location. (One of the featured events is a performance/re-creation of Arnold Schoenberg's 1949 "Draft of a String Quartet.")
The event I'm part of celebrates the Theater Vanguard's "Currents" series, which was curated by Barry Schrader from 1973-78. Barry has put together a selection of pieces from that series and it will play as a 2 hour repeating program throughout the day. Thanks, Barry, for including my work!
So if you're in Los Angeles this Sunday, you could do worse than to drop into the Welcome Inn at Eagle Rock. If I were in LA on Sunday, that's where I would be!
Here's some links:

Jesse White, the mournful washing machine pitchman on TV, this month celebrates the start of his 20th year with the appliance company that has made him rich and famous.
White says his Maytag stint has set a TV network record for longevity, surpassing that of Virginia Christine who won fame promoting Folgers coffee as the folksy Mrs. Olson.
To millions of Americans, White is the lonely Maytag repairman, dressed in cap and overalls, who never gets a service call. The implication, of course, is that the appliances never break down.
As TV blurbs go, White`s 30- and 60-second commercials have become something of a tradition.
Actors associating themselves with products find it can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, commercials can be enormously rewarding financially. On the other hand, blurbs can hurt careers in movies and TV, although they often have no effect on an actor`s viability.
But occasionally the association backfires altogether.
Laurence Olivier created a furor when he earned a small fortune advertising Polaroid cameras. Many in the industry thought the great English actor had demeaned himself.
Then there was the uproar when Sanka Brand canned Robert Young after his many years of pitching the decaffeinated coffee.
White says his two decades with Maytag has cost him roles. For instance, he lost a regular part in the old Barney Miller sitcom because a network executive believed he was too closely identified with appliances.
``I don`t know why some of those jerks think that way,`` he said.
``You know darned well a guy like Rex Harrison, who did commercials for Dodge Colt, is not going to be seen riding around in a car like that. And I`ll bet you 3-5 Lorne Greene doesn`t eat Alpo.``
White, a jolly, easygoing extrovert, has done 65 commercials for the company.

Hummingbird nests
Has anyone ever tried hanging a cage or net ball filled with natural cotton next to their hummingbird feeders? Its supposed to give them material for their nests, and give you othe opportunity to see where they are taking it to, so you might see a nest. I bought one, and so far the hummers are ignoring it, so I'm starting to wonder if it really works, or is just a gimmick.

Jashn e eid milad un nabi
12 Rabi ul awal – Eid Milad un Nabi
It is not permissible/allow to celebrate Jashn e eid milad un nabi(the birthday of the Holy Prophet Muhammed (SAW), nor the birthday of anyone else, becuase this is from the acts of bidah (self innovation) that is newly invented into the religion. Neither did Allah Messenger (Prescribed in Laws) (PBUH), nor the Rightly Guided Khalifas (Abubakr, Umar(RA), Utham and Ali [May Allah be pleased with all of them]), nor the Companions, nor any of their followers from the first three generations, celebrated this day – and they were the most knowledgeable of people concerning the Sunnah (the Prophetic guidance), and had the greatest love for Allah Messenger (PBUH) and were the foremost in following his Shariah. Bidah is not allow in Islam. but some scholar have different thinking about Jashn e eid milad un nabi.
Jashn e Eid Milaad un Nabi Celebration
Jashn e eid milad un nabi is the observance of the birthday of the Islamic holy prophet Muhammad which occurs on the 12th day of Rabi' al-awal, the third month in the Islamic calendar. The Fatimids began celebrating Mawlid in the 10th century, and the Ottomans declared it an official holiday in 1588 hijri. The term/word Milad-ul-Nabi is also use in some parts of the world, such as Egypt, as a generic term for the birthday celebrations of other historical religious figures such as Sufi saints.
Rabi ul-Awal is a Islamic month and it is very special month because of the holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was born in rabi ul-awal month. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) was born 12 Rabi ul Awal in Mecca.
It is already know every Muslim and Non Muslim that our Prophet (P.B.U.H) is the best of all the Prophets who came and the last of them and the most perfect of them with regards to conveying the Message of Islam and advising the people. So if celebrating his milad was a part of the religion Islam. Allah- the Most Perfect chose, then the Messenger(SAW) would have most certainly explained it to his Ummaah, or he would have celebrated it by himself, or his noble Companions (R.A) would have celebrated it in past. But However, since nothing like this happened earlier, then we know that the celebration of milad has nothing to do with Islam whatsoever. Rather, it is from those Bidah which the Muhammad (PBUH) warned his Ummah from.

Over the last decade or so, there has been a shift on college and university campuses. Long a place of pro-Jewish and pro-Israel thought, it has now become a hotbed of anti-Semitic movements, clubs, and courses.
And those who had once been the largest non-black supporters for the civil-rights movement has now become the target of hate and slander.
The left has started to call for the boycott and divestment of Israel. They have begun to call Israel an apartheid state. And now, indoctrination in a class just for anti-Semitic ideals.
Trending: Migrant Caravan Marches to Border, Invoking POTUS by Name
Fox reports
The University of California at Berkeley has suspended a course amid accusations it shared anti-Semitic viewpoints and was designed to indoctrinate students against Israel.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports Berkeley suspended "Palestine: A Settler Colonial Analysis" on Tuesday. The newspaper reports Thursday that a syllabus for the one-credit course taught by an undergraduate student says it examines the history of Palestine "through the lens of settler colonialism."
"The course has been suspended pending completion of the mandated review and approval process," according to a campus statement that expressed concern about a course that "espoused a single political viewpoint and appeared to offer a forum for political organizing."
Though I do not support Israel because of Biblical reasons, I do believe they have a right to exist. But, what is worse than simply wanting to deny this sovereign state this fundamental right of existence, they are teaching a false history.
It would teach the students this understanding of a people, Palestinians, losing their native home to invaders. That these people are only trying to win back their homes and all the while, they are living in forced poverty and oppression.
This is a lie. The Palestinians are not a people; they are simply Arabs who lived in Palestine. People that were so full of hate for Jews because of their religion, that they missed the opportunity to have their own country.
Now, they want to turn the people that they blame for Israel's survival against her. They wish to brainwash Americans into believing this so they can take Israel out. But this is not history it is propaganda.

A combination of 2 previous paintings: Adam and Even and the Astronomer. This is an unfinished version of the painting. I came upon this title as it serves a couple of purposes. First is the impression that these figures are going to a specific place and are "on course" to it (hence the telescope). Aside from that, I feel that this image (and the others like it) are the natural progression of the large Adam and Eve painting that I had made years ago. I had one of those "a-ha, of course" moments when I came up with this configuration. When I started this picture, I struggles with the palette selection and finally liked the idea that the color of the figures has been stripped out in the same way that color vanishes when the lights go out.
Although this version is more fleshed out, I still hope to do a much larger version in the near future.
