New Delhi: Congress tribal leaders led by former Chhatisgarh Chief Minister Ajit Jogi on Wednesday opposed the candidature of PA Sangma for Presidential election, saying the NCP leader is "playing into the hands of communal forces".
Asked who are these communal forces, the former Chhatisgarh Chief Minister told reporters, "BJP and its allies are representing communal forces."
Sangma has sought support from various political parties for his Presidential bid.
"One should not declare himself as a Presidential candidate. It is such a high office. It has never been demanded by any individual. Country chooses...Electoral colleges decide it. But Sangma has claimed it as tribal leader which is wrong," Congress tribal leader said.
Asked whether he is against the tribal candidate, he said, "We are not against any candidate. UPA has not decided on it as discussions are going on."
He further said, "Either there should be consensus on deciding the candidature or whoever has majority will decide."
Asked about his stand on supporting a tribal candidate for presidency, Jogi said the party has not decided yet. "If party decides for a tribal candidate we will definitely support it."
To question whether he himself would like to be a presidential candidate as a tribal leader, Jogi said, "No way."
Asked whether Congress has decided to oppose Sangma, he said, "Party has not decided yet. It is our view."
Recalling earlier Presidential elections, Jogi said, "Once a tribal leader from Meghalaya GG Swell was the candidate and then Sangma had opposed him. Now he is seeking support in the name of tribal."
Jharkhand Rajya Sabha MP Pradeep Balmuchu said, "Sangma belongs to NCP and his party is also not supporting him on the issue."
Minister of State for Water Resources Vincent Pala, Manipur MP Rishang Keising and Arunachal MP Ninong Erring are among other tribal leaders who were present on the occasion.

WATER MILL, N.Y. (AP) — A street sign memorializing a nun killed in a hit-and-run has been removed after residents called it depressing.
The sign designating Rose Hill Road in the Hamptons as "Sister Jackie's Way" was removed last week, after a monthslong standoff between the local road official who installed it and residents and town board members who wanted it gone, Newsday (http://nwsdy.li/1uCPFbm ) said Monday.
The sign honored Sister Jacqueline Walsh, who died as she walked along the road in July 2012. The 59-year-old nun lived in Syosset and was attending an event at a Sisters of Mercy retreat house in Water Mill, a scenic hamlet near tony Southampton.
Police sought a suspect but never were able to find him. They believe he left the country.
Southampton Town Highway Superintendent Alex Gregor installed the $45 sign last year.
Neighbors soon began complaining that it was upsetting. "Your sign is a painful reminder of a dreadful crime" and the lack of an arrest, one wrote to Gregor.
After a survey of 39 neighborhood residents found 17 didn't like it — two did, two had no opinion and 18 didn't respond — the town board asked Gregor to remove it. He refused. Then parks employees took it down last month, and he put it back up. Days later, the town attorney's office opined that he didn't have the authority to name streets.
But Gregor says he ultimately removed it for another reason: because the nuns lamented the controversy.
A spokeswoman for the order's regional office in Merion Station, Pennsylvania, said the sisters continue to mourn and honor Walsh.
"They really choose to remember her in their daily prayer," spokeswoman said Debbi Della Porta said.
The sign is now in Gregor's office.
"It was just a celebration of the woman's life," he told Newsday.

Mumbai: Offered a chance to play a four-day Test after eight years, Indian women`s cricket captain Mithali Raj welcomed it and said the younger lot in the squad, who are embarking on a 23-day tour of England tonight, would benefit a lot from playing the longer version of the game.
She also said it would be a big challenge and a huge achievement if the team got the better of the more experienced hosts in their backyard in the one-off Test and the three ODIs that will follow during the visit.
"Only three of us - myself, Jhulan (Goswami) and Karuna Jain - had played the last Test in 2006. I feel it`s easier to adapt from playing the longer version of the game to the ODIs and T20s. Our team is inexperienced in Tests but experienced in ODIs. The younger players would benefit.
"It`s a big challenge and beating England in England will be a huge achievement for the team. The last time we went there (in 2012) we came close to doing it but lost the series (5-game ODI rubber) after taking a 2-0 lead," said Hyderabad batswoman Mithali at the pre-departure media conference at the Cricket Board`s headquarters here on Sunday.
The team is scheduled to play a two-day warm-up game (August 7 and 8 at Loughborough, Haslegrave) ahead of the one-off Test from August 13-16 (Wormsley Cricket Ground).
The team will also play a warm-up one day game (August 19, Harrogate CC) before the three-match ODI series scheduled on August 21, 23 (both at Scarborough CC) and August 25 (Lord`s).
The Indian women`s last international appearance was during the World T20 Championship in Bangladesh, played along with the men`s event, in March and prior to that they had played three ODIs and as many T20s against Sri Lanka at home last season.
Asked whether BCCI should arrange more Test matches, the 31-year-old Mithali said "We want to play more matches, that`s all, whether it`s Tests, ODIs or T20s."
She skirted the issue when asked whether the team should have been fielded in the Incheon Asian Games starting on September 19.
"It`s upto the BCCI. All we want is to play more matches."
India are not sending the men`s team too for the pan-Asian quadrennial sports spectacle after not sending a team four years ago when the Games were held in Guangzhou, China.
The only occasion an Indian cricket team has been fielded by the BCCI in a multi-sport Games was during the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur when the men`s team took part.
The England-bound women`s team had a seven-day camp in Bangalore and played a two-day practice game against the Karnataka CA under 19 boys` team, said manager and former woman international Sudha Shah - who had scored 601 runs in 21 matches when women`s cricket was not governed by BCCI or ICC.
Mithali, who has played 8 Tests in which she has scored 572 runs with 214 as her highest individual scorer, said the team had an experienced medium pace attack in Jhulan, Niranjana Nagarajan and Shubhlakshmi Sharma and two good spinners in Rajeshwari Gayakwad and Ekta Bisht.
The squad: Mithali Raj (Capt.), Karuna Jain (Vice-Capt.), Smriti Mandhana, M D Thirushkamini, Punam Raut, Harmanpreet Kaur, Jhulan Goswami, Niranjana N, Shubhlakshmi Sharma, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Ekta Bisht, Poonam Yadav, Swagathika Rath, Vanitha V R, Sushma Verma.

The memos describe how the archdiocese handled the allegations against the Rev. Stanley Gana lodged in the 1990s. Prosecutors are trying to show that the archdiocese didn't do enough to protect children from Gana after the accusations arose.
Monsignor William Lynn, 61, supervised more than 800 priests as the secretary for clergy in Philadelphia from 1992 to 2004. He's the first U.S. church official charged over his handling of abuse complaints against priests.
Prosecutors charge that he kept dangerous priests in parish work around children to protect the church's reputation and avoid scandal. He faces up to 28 years in prison if convicted of conspiracy and child endangerment.
A detective read confidential memos and other documents to jurors about Gana that dated back to 1992. The documents include reports made to the church, and conversations with Lynn and others, by several young men who said they were molested by Gana for years as adolescents.
Jurors were told that Gana remained as pastor of Our Lady of Sorrows parish in Bridgeport, Pa., until 1995 - three years after the first accusations surfaced but shortly after concerns arose among archdiocesan officials that one accuser might go public with his story.
In 1996, Gana entered a treatment facility in Canada where "he broke down ... he admitted everything," according to a note from a doctor involved in his care. He was not removed from ministry until 2002, when the archdiocese announced a change in policy in the wake of the priest molestation scandals that had begun to surface in Boston.
Assistant District Attorney Patrick Blessington suggested to the jury that Gana's removal from priestly duties occurred solely as a reaction to the erupting Boston scandal.
Lynn's lawyers contend he tried to address the abuse allegations as secretary for clergy from 1992 to 2004, but was blocked at the time by Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua.
Defense attorney Thomas Bergstrom pointed out memos where Lynn recommended in the 1990s that Gana's priestly duties be limited and that he be closely supervised pending the completion of a drug and alcohol treatment program, but that higher-ups in the church, including Bevilacqua, disagreed and told Lynn to revise his recommendations to say the archdiocese would "not stand in his way" if Gana sought an assignment elsewhere.
"That would certainly be one way of getting rid of Father Gana (in Philadelphia), wouldn't it," Bergstrom said. "That's not the recommendation that Monsignor Lynn made."
Bevilacqua died in January, although the jury might see the videotaped deposition he gave weeks earlier. Lynn's child endangerment and conspiracy trial could last several months.
Gana was defrocked in 2006 but never criminally charged. A phone listing for him could not immediately be located, and the archdiocese declined to comment on the allegations against him, citing a judge's gag order.
Also on trial is the Rev. James Brennan, who is charged with raping a 14-year-old boy in 1996. He and Lynn have both entered not guilty pleas.
A third co-defendant, defrocked priest Edward Avery, entered a guilty plea on the eve of the trial to some of the charges.

Participants were matched on age and gender. The efficiency of the attentional networks was assessed by using the computerized Attention Network Test (Fan, McCandliss, Sommer, Raz, & Posner, 2002).ResultsPrimary results indicated that CWS had a significantly lower efficiency of the orienting network compared with CWNS, whereas no differences were found on the alerting or executive control network.ConclusionCurrent findings corroborate previously found differences in self-regulatory behavior and were taken to suggest a possible role for attentional processes in developmental stuttering.

CDW, a veteran provider of technology solutions for business, government, education and healthcare, and one with a collection of about 250,000 small, medium- and large-sized customers, recently decided to find out what exactly users are doing with their tablets within their business settings.
The company conducted a survey across a panel of 610 business users across four industries – healthcare (152), higher education (153), state and local governments (151), and enterprise users (154).
The answers may or may not actually prove to be surprising. We'll note before digging a bit deeper that CDW did ask users for their astrological signs, but we are most definitely going to pass on exploring that end of it.
The first thing worth noting is what functionality users want on their tablets. The graphic below demonstrates what the ideal tablet is going to sport for the survey panelists, ordered by most requested to least requested feature.
The list above more or less defines an iPad. But if we consider the request for productivity software and a keyboard, it may very well be a Microsoft Surface RT tablet that users would like to get hands on (they probably just don't know it).
When panelists were asked about the kind of quality time they spend with their tablets and whether or not tablets make them more productive at work, the answers were interesting. No, people don't seem to use their tablets as long as we may have thought they did, but without question when people do use their tablets they unequivocally provide non-trivial increases in productivity. The graphic below shows this.
As shown, the typical time users are interacting with their tablets at work is about 2.1 hours a day – but those 2.1 hours translate into significant productivity increases of 1.1 hours a day. So users spend two hours a day on their tablets and get about three hours worth of work done – not bad. Respondents say they spend, overall, about 26 percent of their total computer time with their laptops, primarily doing things such as e-mail and note taking – not at all surprising.
A whopping 84 percent claim they are now better multi-taskers because of their tablet use.
That last is interesting but we suspect that it's their perception of their multi-tasking capabilities that have been altered rather than their actual abilities here.
Finally, in the graphic below we get to the more general usage questions. First, we can see how the rest of their hardware usage pans out. Desktops, at 68 percent, remain by and large the still dominant computing tool, although laptops follow close behind at 62 percent. Only 2 percent of users use their tablets exclusively – a number we suspect will change and increase non-trivially by this time next year.
Note that the majority of users at 59 percent own their tablets, and a majority of them at 56 percent have had their tablets a year or less. Not surprisingly, the top response for why users like their tablets falls to having information access on the go.
Collaboration makes a worthy appearance, though it's interesting to note that social media capabilities only rank in 6th place in terms of most desired work applications.
It's all about mobility. Is anyone surprised?
If you really must know about your sign and what it has to say about you and your tablet choices, you can find the details over at CDW.

ISSUE #35 February/March 2011
101 Days to Commencement
Thursday, Feb. 10 marks a special day for MC seniors it's 101 days before their college graduation.
The Manchester College Office of Alumni Relations annually hosts a 101 Days to Commencement celebration for graduating seniors, where they're offered words of encouragement and advice as they prepare to say goodbye to Manchester and move on to their next life experiences. Students enjoy a special dinner served by faculty and staff, and presentations from President Switzer and others. Before the evening is over, they'll be welcomed as alumni from the Alumni Board president.
Students will also receive their first instructions about Graduation Day, including details about ordering caps, gowns and graduation announcements. There is no cost for caps and gowns, but they must complete an order form online. Watch www.manchester.edu for more details about Graduation Day 2011.
Lil' Sibs are a big deal at MC!
Lil' Sibs Weekend, April 1-2, 2011, is an opportunity for students to bring their younger brother or sister (or any niece, nephew, cousin or friend who is 5-12 years old) to campus for a weekend full of fun activities and entertainment, including:
All weekend activities, sponsored by Manchester Activities Council (MAC), are free to your student and his or her lil' sib (including meals), but all who plan to attend will need to complete a registration form and waiver. Look for registration information in your mailbox, or download forms from the Lil' Sibs Weekend website.
Questions? Contact Shanon Fawbush, director of student activities, email@example.com or 260-982-5029.
Phonathon and the Manchester Fund put students first
Throughout the spring semester, more than 20 Manchester College students will call alumni, parents and friends to ask for their help in reaching this year's Manchester Fund goal of $1 million. Tuition at Manchester doesn't cover the full cost of a college education, and donations that Phonathon callers raise help make up the difference.
The Manchester Fund pays for energy costs, upgrades classroom technology, helps maintain buildings and grounds and, most importantly, is a significant source of financial aid for our students – keeping a Manchester education within reach. If a student Phonathoner calls you, any size gift is greatly appreciated. Gifts to The Manchester Fund can also be made online.
It's a great way to help deserving students! Learn more about Phonathon.
Sending a gift is easy!
Will your student be celebrating a birthday? A special milestone in their college career? Maybe you'd like to send a gift of encouragement or just let them know you're thinking about them.
The MC Campus Store now offers Custom Care Packages you can order online. Choose from pre-made packages, or build your own with almost anything the Campus Store sells, including snacks, apparel, books or gift certificates.
Visit the Campus Store website or call 260-982-5275 to place your order.
Extend Family Connections to Grandparents
Are Grandma and Grandpa asking what's going on in your MC Student's life? Click here to fill out a simple form we'll include them in the mailing list for Family Connections and invite them to campus for special events!

Chicago Cubs Release Rex Brothers, Save Some Money
When the Chicago Cubs traded for arbitration-eligible reliever Rex Brothers last fall, they did so as the kind of low-risk, "we aren't going to give you much for him, but we'll tender him a contract if you won't" move that teams looking for depth are willing to make.
And, in the spirit of it being that kind of move, the Cubs today released Brothers (Wittenmyer, Muskat).
As we saw with yesterday's game, and with his appearances this spring before that, Brothers' command issues – the ones that plagued him the last two years in Colorado – had not abated, and the Cubs were going to need to make a decision on whether to hang onto Brothers and guarantee his full $1.42 million salary for 2016, or whether to cut him and save some scratch.
With Travis Wood and Clayton Richard heavy favorites to land in the bullpen, plus four five righties as virtual locks (Hector Rondon, Pedro Strop, Justin Grimm, Trevor Cahill, Adam Warren), there wasn't a lot of space for Brothers as is. Even if the Cubs carry eight relievers (they probably will), guys like Neil Ramirez, Manny Parra, C.J. Riefenhauser, Spencer Patton, and a host of others had at least as good of a shot of winning the job as Brothers.
Because arbitration-level deals are not fully guaranteed until after Spring Training, the Cubs are able to release Brothers owing him just 30 days termination pay, or about $250,000. The move, then, saves the Cubs more than $1 million that can be put to use down the road as needed.

The do-follow, or I-follow, action has caused a uprise of blogs lacking the 'nofollow' connect concept applied to all remarks. Since being introduced in 2005 by Google, the nofollow conception is now added by defaulting to any reader submitted golf links on many touristed web log platforms. Removing the construct is advocated by abundant bloggers.
Google introduced the nofollow conception in 2005 to run down the powerfulness of definite types of spam, thereby on a winning streak the quality of activity engine results, and chemical reaction canned meat in mass. It was planned by Matt Cutts and Jason Shellen from Blogger.com webspam troop. Its outcome was represented to pull out the PageRank significance of the interconnect.Post ads:

Different hunt engines delicacy golf course beside nofollow otherwise. Google does not compute the nexus as a vote, or scale of measurement the reference page if in earlier times not indexed. Officially Google does not even trade name a register of the being of the point of reference page. Yahoo! follows the link, and may scale the page, but the relationship won't give much attraction to the mark. Other look into engines may, or may not prudence roughly speaking the construct at all.
Some links have been tagged nofollow in Wikimedia package since the initiation in 2005, but land site beamy count of nofollow to all outside course in the English verbal skill Wikipedia happened lonesome in January 2007. Blogger integrated the attribute in interpretation and backlinks from primordial on. It was incorporated by evasion in Wordpress annotations from edition 1.5 fore.

Lately, very after the preamble of nofollow to Wikipedia, nofollow has begun to be seen likewise as a antagonistic point. On blogs, commenting on different blogs has always been a way to souk one's own blog, and after the instruction of nofollow, this has been smaller amount effective. Some bloggers contend that they now see a higher magnitude of spam comments, allegedly because to get the one and the same phenomenon spammers condition to canned meat much.
Before nofollow those who statement characteristically on a blog would besides get many another backlinks for set free. Now that best blogs are nofollow, here is smaller amount common sense to change state a regular, or to mention at all. The do-follow motility consists of bloggers, who wish to reward, and cheer up commenting by big posterior interpretation their backlink good point.
How to Join
On Wordpress blogs here are many an plugins for removing the concept. Some plugins extend left-over features, similar to nofollow for original example comments, or nofollow for old explanation. The customizable disposition of Wordpress templates, and plugins has brought masses solutions to this difficulty. The supreme hot of the plugins can be found with a Google look into for 'do-follow Wordpress'.
If you have a Blogger blog, production it do-follow is as unproblematic as removing respectively occurrence of "rel='nofollow'" in the template.

A Modern Orthodox bocher arrived at the Zal in Kfar Chabad in his shirt and jeans. After studying diligently for several years, he continued his studies at Crown Heights where he met his Kallah. His father asked him to join his business following his wedding. The chosson, however, insisted that he'll continue for 2 years in kollel possibly followed by a lifetime of Shlichus. They decided the Rebbe will settle the matter at Yechidus.
Some weeks before his chasuno, he entered the Rebbe's room along with his parents for yechidus. During yechidus, the Rebbe uncharacteristically agreed with the father's request. It was customary that following Yechidus with his parents, the Choson would see the Rebbe again privately. To be sure he understood correctly, the Choson asked again about his future following his Chasunoh. To the Choson's disappointment, the Rebbe reiterated what he previously told the parents.
Sadly, the Choson's father took ill during Sheva Brochos. Shortly thereafter he passed on, leaving his business to his newly-married son.

last time I was inside a computer I was installing
a sound card. Man, is my PC ever dirty. I can't imagine
how it keeps running with all that crap in there.
Of course I didn't clean it. I'm not anal retentive,
you understand. If the computer can't work under those
conditions what the hell good is it anyway? I just
won't buy another until the planet becomes dust free.
Arms for the PSP may be your first ever visit inside
a computer as you enter into a cyber world in search
of riches. These treasures are in the form of files
that you locate and extricate. Things are really going
your way until you encounter a program developed by
the government called A.I.D.A. It's like a firewall
designed to stop viruses and hackers. It's been abandoned
for some time now but it's evolved on its own, not
unlike those gators rumored to be in the sewers of
New York. The A.I.D.A. is a nasty program rife with
a plethora of creatures and soldiers that will definitely
challenge your skills. It's protecting some of the
best treasures in cyber space - the very ones that
you want to get your hands on.
far as a storyline goes that's about all there is.
There's not a lot of motivation to drive you to completing
the game. The scenery is excellent but the boxy, digitized
format gets to be a little tiring as does the gameplay
which is basically a Doom clone.
a shooter Coded Arms isn't a bad offering. It has
some originality but it really lacks magic. It's a
functional game at best, although the four-player
modes let you have some fun with your pals - or enemies.
of the game's best features is the configurable control
system. Not only can you map the controls to any buttons,
including moving or aiming with the analog stick,
but you can also adjust the speed of your character's
movement as well as the sensitivity of the lock-on
targeting system. As more enemies take to the screen
you will encounter some bad slowdown which renders
any adjustment moot. Too bad.
are more than 30 weapons including sniper rifles,
assault rifles, rocket launchers and various energy
guns. You can upgrade weapons and gear to take on
an assortment of creatures that run, jump, crawl and
fly at you. All of the enemies are highly imaginative
and there's a good assortment of them. It's just too
bad the game is linear and affected by slowdown.
everything looks amazing but you do tend to get used
to it quickly. To replicate the inside of a network
there are numbers, codes and integrated circuit patterns
assimilated into all the environments. After a while
I was dying just to see a tree. The music straddles
the fence as it attempts to sound computerized yet
organic enough to convey the appropriate mood for
the situation. It's not something I would like to
listen to out of context but it works well within
the confines of the gameplay. Whatever you do, don't
forget to manually save your progress because the
game won't do it for you.
Last Man Standing and Keep the Mark are the three
multi-player modes. They break up the monotony of
the linear gameplay and the redundant level designs.
You can bring your weapons from the single-player
mode into these modes which is great if you're attached
to a certain gun or explosive device.
Coded Arms is the only shooter on the PSP, it's safe
to say that it's not only the best shooter but it's
also the worst. Actually it's somewhere in between.
If you love Doom you'll like Coded Arms, but if you
didn't care for Doom you'll hate this one.

News about the high optimism of small business owners regarding the economy across the US, seem to be a hot topic of conversation. Despite the incertitude of many of the issues affecting the small business community, the optimism according to media outlets seems to be high. The promise of a quick repeal to Obamacare has some small business owners wondering whether this is going to be a good move for them. For more about this and other stories affecting the small business community, follow the links below.
Small-business owners are full of questions and regrets about the end of Obamacare
With the repeal of the Affordable Care Act likely but its replacement uncertain, small-business owners are weighing their options for the future.
More details may come Tuesday evening when President Trump makes his first address to both houses of Congress as commander-in-chief.
Trump took executive action on January 20 to "ease the burden" of the Affordable Care Act and formally announced the administration's policy to "seek the prompt repeal" of the law. However, doing so with any speed has proven difficult. The president told a meeting of the nation's governors on Monday, "Nobody knew that healthcare could be so complicated."
A great majority of our nation's small business owners are old, white men
Two weeks ago the Kauffman Foundation, a well-regarded nonprofit group that specializes in entrepreneurism, released its annual State of Entrepreneurship report — and at least in one respect, the news is encouraging. The report found that, despite still being below the peak that preceded the Great Recession, private enterprise is rebounding and entrepreneurs are driving a resurgence of business activity in America.
However, most of those entrepreneurs are still mostly old, white men.
Even as the U.S. population is becoming more diverse, the changes in the composition of our entrepreneurs is not reflecting these changes: 80.2 percent are white and 64.5 percent are male (other reports have put the average age of a small business owner at around 50 years old). The Kauffman report found that minorities own half as many businesses as non-minorities and their businesses start smaller and stay smaller mostly due to capital challenges. Women are also half as likely as men to own employer businesses.
79 Percent of Small Business Owners Remain Confident, Xero Report Says
With unprecedented economic uncertainty in the US and UK, you would expect small businesses would be more pessimistic about the future. Yet, according to the second annual Make or Break 2017 report from Xero (NZE:XRO), small business owners are irrepressibly optimistic going into 2017. Both small business owners (79 percent) and accountants (84 percent) feel more confident about 2017 than 2016.
Make or Break 2017 Report from Xero: Highlights
The optimism was especially true for young businesses with 94 percent of one-year-old and 84 percent of two-year-old businesses saying that they felt more confident going into 2017 than they did in 2016. Over three quarters (79 percent) of small business owners professed confidence in their businesses' survival in 2017. While nearly a fifth of businesses going through a tougher time said they expected 2017 to be a turnaround year for their business.

Discussion in 'Black Hat SEO' started by virus_1720, Aug 21, 2009.
sorry guys my bro posted something useless
Simply start building links, and Google will find your website. If you need to get index quickly (which for some reason most people do, even though it's pointless) then pinging your URI a.k. URL and submitting your site to social bookmarking sites such as Digg.
submit your site to digg and ping it at pingler.com and you will be indexed one day
Does pinging help you attain higher rank in google or just get you indexed?
Pingining helps you to get your backlinks noticed by search engines..

Six weeks ago, an independent commission led by former chief judge of the New York State Court of Appeals Jonathan Lippman released a report calling for the closing of the Rikers Island correctional facility and changes in the criminal-justice system. According to journalist and documentarian Bill Moyers, who served as executive editor of the new film Rikers: An American Jail, "Lippman saw Rikers [before the report came out] and insisted that all of the members of the commission see the film." Moyers, who has won more than 30 Emmy Awards, made the comment during a talkback with Oscar-winning actor Tim Robbins at a benefit screening of Rikers for The Actors' Gang, the Los Angeles theater company Robbins founded, which presents acting workshops in California prisons.
Rikers is the "first feature-length documentary with inmates telling their own stories" at any major jail or prison, 82-year-old Moyers said in an interview. And what harrowing, dehumanizing sagas they are, with about a dozen interviewees—culled from around 200 subjects, most of them people of color—describing what Moyers dubbed "a culture of cruelty." They vividly articulate the experience of entering the notorious facility on Rikers Island in New York's East River; the brutal struggle for survival in and out of solitary confinement; then grappling with release back into a disorienting world where being branded an ex-con makes finding a job nearly impossible.
Former inmate and rapper Raymond Yu, aka China Mac, described arriving at Rikers as "like going into the belly of the beast," where "everybody's screaming and it just sounds like a madhouse." Indeed, the film asserts that 40 percent of detainees are diagnosed with mental illness; amid frequent violence committed by other inmates as well as corrections officers, one "can never be sound asleep in prison," Yu laments. A City Health Department report found that in one year those incarcerated at Rikers suffered 8,557 injuries. Kathy Morse, a white woman shattered by the wretchedness she experienced behind bars, reports being sexually assaulted in the shower by four inmates. And, driven to distraction, prisoners in solitary for hundreds of days literally count the roaches and rats or imagine that a diminutive cell's paint chips are movies.
Most of Rikers, produced by three-time Emmy winner and longtime Moyers collaborator Marc Levin, consists of talking heads, although the filmmakers, who had limited access to Rikers, intercut the 56-minute documentary with aerial shots and surveillance footage. The latter shows Kalief Browder, a young black man detained at Rikers for three years while awaiting a trial for purportedly stealing a backpack, and who always maintained his innocence, being viciously assaulted by corrections officers. After his release, Browder was so traumatized by his Rikers ordeal, which included stints in solitary, that he committed suicide—which some of the film's subjects also considered doing. The tales they tell the camera are gripping; as Moyers says, "Human faces are the best special effects."

3) Add about 5cm vegetable oil to a large cast iron pan and heat over medium-high heat to 185 degrees C. Once heated and working in batches, fry steaks 2 to 3 at a time until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove steaks and drain on a paper towels.
4) Carefully remove some the fat from the cast iron pan, reserving 60ml. With the pan over medium heat, sprinkle in 3 tbsp of plain flour and whisk to make a roux, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Once the flour has been fully incorporated slowly add the buttermilk and milk and continue to whisk until the gravy is nice and thick. Season well with salt and plenty ground black pepper, then whisk in hot sauce, to taste. Place the steaks on a serving platter, top with gravy and serve.

Marketing Expert Guide | 5 Surprisingly Simple Tips For Photographers That Will Instantly Improve Any Marketing Strategy
Marketing Expert Guide | Professional photography is just as much about extraordinary business skills as it is about taking stunning pictures. In other words, taking beautiful pictures will take you only so far – after all, we've all seen incredibly talented photographers fail at running their own business, and other less talented photographers sail right by! However, just because you didn't go to business school, it doesn't mean you should forget about your dream of running your own photography business.
Marketing Expert Guide | Website Design – www.medianovak.com
The secret to the success of pretty much every service or product is a solid marketing strategy. There are always other business owners who are willing to do it cheaper and faster, and with that comes the challenge of standing out, especially in the saturated photography industry! If you're just starting out or you're in a bit of a business slump, it might be time to try some new marketing tips and tricks to spice up your strategy. However, instead of opting for the usual "go to" options, why not try a few creative marketing initiatives? To help you get started on the right track, we found some of the simplest, yet incredibly effective tricks you can start implementing today!
Mobile Is The New Black | Marketing Expert Guide
More and more consumers are using mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets to research a product or a service, compare deals, finding the right business – and most importantly, make a purchase. The same goes for your potential clients. With the number of mobile users growing on a daily basis, you can't really afford to overlook the mobile side of your marketing strategy. From showcasing your work to providing your potential clients will all the relevant package details, your website should work seamless across all devices and different screen sizes.

Not All Email Marketing Is Spam! | Marketing Expert Guide
If you have a website up and running, but still haven't figured out a way to capture your visitors' email addresses, you're losing more business thank you might believe. Setting up a newsletter signup box is a great start – you can even offer some sort of a discount or a reward to the visitors that sign up. Your email database is arguably the most valuable tool when it comes to marketing your photography business and the services you're providing. These are the people interested in your work enough to give you their email address, which brings them one step closer to actually hiring you.
Don't go overboard, though, and spam their inboxes, otherwise they might end up unsubscribing. Instead, email your subscribers only when you have something valuable to say. Are you running a special holiday discount? Or did you just introduce a new package, or a new service? By all means, email them, but try and avoid emails that bring no value to the recipients. You want to establish yourself as a successful and reliable industry leader, not a spammer, after all!
SEO Is Not A Dirty Word | Marketing Expert Guide
The easiest way to acquire new clients online is to be visible in the top couple of search-engine results when your potential clients search for related keywords associated with your services. However, getting noticed by search engines is not kid's play, especially for photographers. Search engines index every web page based on the textual content, pretty much completely ignoring images and videos, and photography websites are image-heavy and notorious for the lack of text. That doesn't mean there's nothing you can do about it, though.
RELATED: Photography Business Marketing Plan | Tips To Create A Killer Marketing Strategy On Any Budget
What every SEO agency will tell you right off the bat is that having a regularly updated blog is the perfect recipe for improving search engine rankings. Not only will it keep your visitors coming back for more, but it will also keep search engines happy if you go in with a solid plan. First, you'll want to clearly define your target keywords, and then find a way to use them organically throughout your blog posts. You'll also want to optimize the page titles, descriptions, as well as the ALT tags of each image you upload, using your target keywords!
Social Media Engagement Can Make Or Break Your Business | Marketing Expert Guide
As a photographer, you're a part of an incredibly creative and highly visual industry, and it's no surprise that you're probably already on Instagram and Pinterest. However, you'll also want to check out other less visual social networks, such as Twitter, for example. The goal is to figure out which social networks your potential clients are using on a daily basis and what you need to do to get on their radars. Remember, it's not about your own personal preference, because no matter how much you might like Google+ (hah! As if that ever happened), it won't do you any good if your potential clients rather spend their time on Facebook.
Marketing Expert Guide | Website Design – www.medianovak.com
2016 Is The Year Of The Client | Marketing Expert Guide
Most photographers we worked with rely heavily on word of mouth marketing and referrals. And sure, we often advise our clients to offer their existing clients referral bonuses or rewards, but no reward will ever get your clients raving about you and the services you're providing unless you deliver exceptional customer service. If you say you're going to deliver the images in a week, make sure you do it in a week, if not even sooner. Go out of your way to make the session as enjoyable as possible, and your clients will become your most powerful marketing force!

I have now heard the words of two different doctors in two different countries state the same thought: they remember the 70's with sadness.
It was the 70's when the TSH lab first came out–Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. It was hailed as a sensitive measure to determine either thyroid over-activity (hyper) and thyroid under-activity (hypo). Before that test was established, doctors made a diagnosis by symptoms alone. So now, doctors had a modern and sensitive test to accurately determine a thyroid problem.
Doctor #1 stated that he was at first dubious, but decided to fall right in with the excitement of other physicians about this new test. He used the TSH test. But, over just a few years, it became clear to him that even when the TSH test was NOT showing the patient to be hypothyroid (i.e. their number was in range), the SYMPTOMS of these very patients WERE showing hypothyroid. He was not amused.
And Doctor #2 had a memory of the 70's as the decade of the synthetics. Wistfully, he remembers not understanding why it was created when desiccated thyroid was doing the job so well. He watched desiccated thyroid treatment "just fade away", and the synthetic T4's take over.
And we, too, are wistful. Why, oh why wasn't there a doctor out there who questioned this new TSH test? Why wasn't there a doctor out there who questioned the use of synthetic T4-only treatments? Why did doctors become so dull-brained…….soaking up all that information as if it was the holy grail, and failing to ask questions when patients came in REEKING of symptoms in spite of a "normal" TSH, or in spite of being on T4 medications?
It is the MILLIONS of us who have suffered who also look at the 70's and subsequent years with sadness.
P.S. Below this entry is a previous post titled HAHAHA. I hope everyone has read the comments.

A Thing Called Love
Love can bloom like a flower at any time in a person's life. Love can come fast, slow, at first sight or after being just "friends". I believe a person can fall in love at first sight. Love at first sight is when two people see each other and they just know something is there that is connecting them. It can be a powerful feeling. I have not personally experienced it, but I know it exists. When couples tell stories of how they met, they usually start off with, " Well when I first saw him..". I sometimes wish I had a story that went like that, but I have my own love story.
My boyfriend and I went to high school for four years together. We never talked to each other until the last month of our senior year. We both knew of the other, but we never thought we would end up together. We were opposites. I was the girl who never went out just to get drunk or do stupid things. I am not saying my boyfriend was stupid , but when guys are with other guys they can get a little crazy and do not think about the consequences of what they are doing at the time. He was the football player who always partied and had the crazy friends. I had crazy friends too, I just never participated in any of the wild activities other high schoolers do. My experience has made me believe that opposites really do attract. I know we are always told this, but now I have experienced it, and I really believe it. We ended up going to the same college and now we are in love and could never picture ourselves without each other.
I believe love can happen at any point in a relationship. People always say that you cannot love someone after only being together for a month, but if you are always around a certain person you can fall for them. Love has more than one definition. There are so many words that can describe love: heartaches, passion, and togetherness. These words vary from person to person. When I think of love I think of trust, happiness and going crazy when you are not with that special someone.
Love, is not always picture perfect though. We tend to start to believe that every relationship is supposed to be like the ones shown on movies or T.V. A lot of the things we see on T.V. are made up. There is the occasional "based on a true story" thing, but T.V. was made for entertainment, not life lessons. As much as we want to have that picture perfect relationship, it is not likely that it will happen. I believe we create our own love stories. If you truly want to have a picture perfect relationship and get that dramatic Notebook kiss, then do everything you can possibly do and love your soul mate unconditionally. True love exists, though it may be found in the unexpected places.

Common claims from tummy tuck reviews at the website for NewBeauty Magazine are that the individuals who have undergone the surgery now have a flat stomach or have been able to return to their pre-pregnancy shape and size. Other reviewers claim faded scars and complete recovery within three months.
Other claims that are often made in tummy tuck reviews on the NewBeauty website are related to shorter than expected recovery times and the ability to return to pre-op levels of activities and exercise within weeks or even days of surgery. Those that post about quick recovery times tend to have been fitter before the surgery and had only undergone the tuck rather than fat removal.
When additional procedures were carried out, the recovery tends to be longer and claims of pain and complications increase, based on reviews on NewBeauty. The most common negative claims stated on tummy tuck reviews focus on longer than expected recovery times, high levels of pain following the surgery, and surgeries that have needed to be redone.
Claims of poor surgery or malpractice are much rarer on the NewBeauty ratings and review pages, and the majority of dissatisfied people are displeased with the results of the procedure, rather than the procedure itself. Those considering tummy tuck surgery should think through the decision and carefully check the credentials of the surgeon chosen to perform the procedure.

1. What was the most critical crossroad in your professional life?
I came to poetry first as a reader (D H Lawrence / Sylvia Plath / T S Eliot / Alexander Pope) but only later in my thirties did I turn with any degree of seriousness to writing. I attended a couple of week-long Arvon Foundation courses at Ted Hughess old house at Lumb Bank in Yorkshire (with Michael Longley & Paul Muldoon, then Helen Dunmore & Tony Curtis). But I went through an artistically barren patch in my life that coincided with a lengthy and unsuccessful attempt to gain access to a certain kind of promotion in teaching (which I am now very pleased was unsuccessful). But it was time-consuming and left me drained. I stopped writing, I stopped playing jazz (saxophone & flute). And I lost contact with friends, until one of these friends (who has always been my first reader) wrote me a letter I shall never forget. He began by quoting half a dozen lines from poems (all mine) and said I knew someone who wrote these. What happened to him? It woke me up. I started writing (and playing) again and suddenly magazines started to accept my work. My first collection of poems, a prize-winning pamphlet called What Certainty Is Like, was published by Smith/Doorstop in 1998, by which time I was 51. I switched to Shoestring Press, which has published a chapbook and two full collections of mine. So, the most critical crossroad was the letter I received from a friend; but I must say that the encouragement I received from Helen Dunmore and Herbert Lomas, two excellent English poets, was also very important.
2. What do you see at this moment as the heart of invention in poetry?
Im not sure what you mean by the heart of invention. The essential ingredient(s) of poetry? Sound and sense, probably in that order. Form and content. Line-breaks. The kinds of thing that exercise all poets. Rhyme, I think, is not one of these essential ingredients. I agree that there is no new thing under the sun (Ecclesiastes), so it isnt so much what is said as how it is said. I also agree with Mallarmé & Eliot & Geoffrey Hill that it is the poets task to purify the dialect of the tribe. To claim this is not to be pompous but to say that in an age when language is so regularly and routinely abused in business, in advertising, in religion, in politics, we need to be reminded of the honourable propensity of words to mean. The language of everyday life is necessarily less precise because life is to be lived (not scrutinized at every turn) but public utterance is too often the language of obfuscation. It is out to get us. I recognize the world in poetry. I tend not to recognize it in newspapers. The world is not a story. The poet, I believe (though this is not, I think, a fashionable view) is also charged with, as it were, speaking for those who have no voice. This involves getting things right and trying to muscle words into shape, but it is not a matter of simplifying anything, and it does not involve writing for some imagined less intelligent audience. Poetry does not have a spelling-age. The writer writes, but there are those who cant. Nor can some of them read.
3. What thematic similarities do you see stated and restated in poetry?
I feel a little disenchanted with the poetry world in England at the moment. It is too much of a club. The Poetry Society markets poetry as if it were a brand of washing powder, and a small but highly influential band of critics (Sean OBrien, Don Paterson, Robin Robertson, Fiona Sampson) tend to dictate (from on high) what the contemporary poet ought to be concerned with. This has led to a poetry which is technically accomplished but rather sterile. The poet is not in his or her poems. I could say more about this. It is all too neat and tidy. I believe with my good friend, John Hartley Williams, one of the UKs finest poets, that we should, at least sometimes, be found hanging out with the lunatics. The current regime, like all regimes, is far too prescriptive, and far too powerful. A poets contribution to public life is to resist. I feel very fortunate to be published by John Lucas (who is Shoestring Press). there is no one who knows more about English poetry, and no one less prescriptive. Just look at the range of poets he publishes. He is inclusive.
4. What of the safety and stability of digitally encoded text, as compared to the permanence of ink in the old fashioned book?
I have very good handwriting (which in itself means little) so I still like the physical business of writing. I love good fountain pens! Yet I have long since for much the most part composed on the screen, working at my computer. This way one immediately sees what a poem looks like on the page, and I find this very helpful. But I keep a hard copy of everything (I print everything I write) because I do not much like reading straight from the screen. I like paper and magazines and books. Probably because Im getting old! (And please dont lecture me about the environment; the ink from fountain pens bleeds through recycled paper.)
Im not sure about safety. Plagiarism is a growing problem, not only among students, and universities are having to divert dwindling funds to expensive computer programs to combat the illicit practice. People steal things. But Eliot said something to the effect that ordinary poets borrow, mature poets steal. So, in a sense, stealing from other writers is nothing new! Its what you do with whats stolen
Its difficult to see whats ahead. These are still early days in the digital age. Its easy to see everything becoming ephemeral. Whatever happens, I think books will be around for a very long time. The internet makes self-publishing easy, but more does not necessarily mean better. It is already clear, for example, that the internet is not such a potent force for democracy as first seemed likely. It certainly does mean there is a lot more rubbish around. But there are sapphires in the mud, too.
5. Who are your favourite authors poets, writers. Why?
So many! Shakespeare, Donne, Marvell, Pope, Keats, Browning. In the twentieth century, Edward Thomas, T.S.Eliot, W.H.Auden, Elizabeth Bishop, Philip Larkin, Brian Jones (not the Rolling Stone!), Derek Mahon, John Hartley Williams. Among novelists, Jane Austen, Joseph Conrad, J.M. Coetzee, Marilynne Robinson. Among dramatists: Tom Stoppard, whose work I love.
Why I like them involves a longer response than is possible here. The novelists I like for their sentences. It is what makes translation so immensely difficult. The poets I like for a variety of reasons, often to do with the felicity of their language. I love the virtuosity of Auden & John Hartley Williams, and the sinuous humanity in Edward Thomas and Brian Jones, Bishops wonderful economy and unshowiness; the way Larkin shapes depression into the pleasure of art. Stoppard, I think, is simply the most quotable writer alive. I could go on for ever
6.Which of your poems like you most and why?
I take it you mean my own poems? It changes. Perhaps the following:
Fishing Rights & The Noise
(from What Certainty Is Like & The Road To Murreigh);
Story & The Bicycle Garden (from What Moves Moves);
Grouch & First Flight (from Forgetting To Come In);
Clarkes Windows (from The Road To Murreigh).
7.How important is for you to see your poems translated into Romanian, taking into consideration that some of them have been translated by Romanian students(MTTLC).How do you feel ?
I have not seen any of my poems in translation yet, but it is very pleasing that they might appear in another language. It is an exciting prospect, especially if it led to a visit to Bucharest! Because I have no Romanian, I would not be able to judge the quality of the translation, of course but others would.
8.What are you currently working?
I am completing a PhD thesis on the work of the English poet Brian Jones (1938-2009) whose obituary I wrote for The Guardian newspaper. I have a long essay on Jones in a forthcoming issue of P N Review. I am editing a Brian Jones New & Selected Poems, which will be published by Shoestring Press in 2012. I have been asked to edit a collection of John Hartley Williamss essays and prose. I am continuing to write poems and Im beginning to consider putting together another collection.

Paul McLoughlins poetry has a rare clarity and exactitude. He writes about private history and its collision with the world of news; of a past which is alive in the present. His voice is poised, and his delight in language shines through the poems.
Helen Dunmore
McLoughlin means what he says, knows what to leave out as well as what to put in, and makes his level-headed bewilderment resound like discovery.
Herbert Lomas, Ambit
He is unflashy and scrupulous and has a nice gentle wit.
Michael Laskey
Paul McLoughlin exhibits an Irish exuberance for the absurd and the askew, illuminated by his unique and delightfully understated tone.
Anne-Marie Fyfe
McLoughlin combines a knack for spot-on observation with a willingness to let his imagination wander (sometimes down very strange avenues) and a determination to let readers make their own judgements.
Matt Merrit, Sphinx
A sensitive and unsentimental imaginative reckoning of felt life, understatement and a droll self-effacement are hallmarks of this excellent chap book.
Peter Carpenter, Tears in the Fence
The final lines of Whatever Mick Wants not only nicely characterise the casual-seeming skills of many of the finest jazz musicians, but touch what McLoughlins art does: Your tenor sax speaks jazz with the same / lazy filling out of space / you lead everyone to think youll leave unfilled. These poems achieve their delicately judged effects with similarly unforced-seeming skill.
Hugh Underhill, Critical Survey
Its a long way to Hollyhead by night,
then to arrive as close to America as Ireland gets,
to see the very picture Id imagined in the trains
dark window: a whitewashed cottage with its whitewashed
garden wall. There was a gate you had to drag
off the ground, and a forge Id stand outside
at one end of a path that petered out to grass
and nettles Id fall in though Id been forever warned.
If the cottage came while I was travelling backwards
all those years ago through Wales, I couldnt see
the peat fields the men set off for every morning
with the horse and cart. Once they did say yes, laughing,
only to put me down in the lane. They wouldnt be
keeping a constant eye on me, for fear Id disappear.
The cannon trained
on the rivers thoroughfares
a joke cigar, its recoil
risking losses greater in
than out. I like to
make it fun by showing
the bed she slept in
sitting up (to keep her hair
in place) - the canopy
not for decoration
but for falling lice.
They used to crap here
through this hole,
fertilizing the garden below
where someone toiled
beyond the need for cures.
Climb the riders staircase,
hire the dining hall,
see the pigs head choker
that weighed a grown
man down. Did you know
there once was an Iron-
Ox that roasted you alive?
That simple chain-mail
shirt you just ignored
cost twenty horses,
took years to make.

Injustice, economic deprivation major causes of extremism: Maleeha Lodhi
She was addressing a debate on strategy for the prevention of violent extremism at UN General Assembly in New York.
Dr Maleeha Lodhi said injustice, backwardness and economic deprivation are major causes of extremism.
She said that indigenous and external factors promote extremism and terrorism in the society.
Dr Maleeha Lodhi said terrorist exploit right to self-determination and injustice for their nefarious designs and factors inciting violence should not be given less attention.
She said out of twenty points of National Action Plan in Pakistan, eight points are related to eradication of extremism.
The Pakistani envoy further said that deliberate character assassination of other religions and culture for political gains is unfortunate.

Synergy is everything. On the heels of 50 Cent's new movie and console game, the rapper and his crew, G-Unit, are now starring in a mobile game. G-Unit: Free Yayo, is a direct reference to the real-life incarceration of Tony Yayo, but in the wireless edition, Yayo is caged up by an evil record empire, not local law enforcement. Yep, an evil record company named O-Corp which skeleton-esque robots -- as you can surmise, this takes place in the future. Apparently, the only hope for freedom of expression in this dystopia is if G-Unit can free Yayo and bring down the corrupt recording empire.
Now, I'm all for creative license and preposterous plots. But this is silly, and the goofiness reveals that G-Unit: Free Yayo is just an excuse to hang the G-Unit license on a shooting gallery type game. Because if you compare 50 Cent: Bulletproof to G-Unit: Free Yayo, you can tell which one the source material had more influence on.
Not every mobile game has to reinvent the wheel -- shooting galleries are okay in their own right, but this one just feels so loose. (And, yes, I know the target moves slightly to recreate the jitters of holding a gun steady.) Moving your cursor around the screen to shoot robots and record execs doesn't feel terribly reliable. (I tested the game on a Motorola V551.) Using both the number pad and thumb pad, it's hard to get a good, accurate shot off. This isn't so bad in the first mission, but when you have to try and shoot moving targets in a car chase sequence, or avoid shooting 50 as he wanders around the front of a building (aimlessly, mind you), the whole fun thing starts to seize up like an Escalade with sugar in the tank.
There is reward, though, for slogging through these lackluster sequences. Zingy has tucked some exclusive G-Unit ringtones and wallpapers into the game, which can be unlocked by completing objectives. I like this feature a lot, and I hope to see more of it if mobile game makers are going to keep releasing licensed games based on bands.
G-Unit: Free Yayo at least features an enjoyable style -- I really liked the flash-animation renditions of the crew and the design of the evil skull-headed robots. Between missions, the story unfolds over some small static-screen cinematics that look good and cartoon-y. And the music, when it plays, is solid beep-boop editions of familiar themes to fans.
The Verdict
G-Unit: Free Yayo is a weak shooting game hiding behind a marketing hook: G-Unit. Without this license (or any license), I doubt many carriers would have given the game a second look. But I did appreciate the art style and the extra content that can be unlocked. Bonus content is another way mobile can really differentiate itself from traditional vids, and give the gamer extra value. I just wish, in the case of G-Unit: Free Yayo, it wasn't such a chore to get at it.

Aug. 9 (Bloomberg) — China will surpass the U.S. by October to become the world's biggest net oil importer on a monthly basis, the Energy Information Administration said.
Imports by the second-biggest oil-consuming country will reach 6.45 million barrels a day, surpassing the U.S.'s 6.23 million, the EIA, the Energy Department's statistical arm, said in this week's Short-Term Energy Outlook. On a yearly basis, China's overseas purchases will surpass the U.S.'s next year.
"The imminent emergence of China as the world's largest net oil importer has been driven by steady growth in Chinese demand, increased oil production in the United States and a flat level of demand for oil in the U.S. market," the agency said today in a report on its website.
China will use 11 million barrels a day of oil in October, the outlook showed. The U.S. will use 18.6 million.
Oil production, including crude and other liquids, will rise to 12.4 million barrels a day in the U.S. by October. China's production will be 4.57 million.
Net Chinese imports will be 6.57 million barrels a day next year, higher than the U.S.'s 5.71 million, EIA data showed.
U.S. oil production will rise by 28 percent between 2011 and 2014 to nearly 13 million barrels a day, primarily from shale oil, tight oil and Gulf of Mexico deepwater fields, the EIA said. China's production will grow 6 percent over the period to be a third of U.S. levels in 2014.
China's liquid-fuels use will grow by 13 percent between 2011 and 2014 to more than 11 million barrels a day. U.S. demand is forecast to stay around 18.7 million barrels during the period, below the peak consumption level of 20.8 million in 2005, the EIA said.

Many Halloween goods and snacks can be seen at many places.
In Japan, Halloween is becoming very popular event in these 10 years.
Today, I would like to tell you which costume would be popular for this year.
When all is said and done, many people wear the costume for Pokemon, such as Pikachu and Satoshi because "Pokemon Go" gained tremendous popularity this year.
From Kids to adults can wear these costumes to enjoy the event.
A family is sure to be able to have fun at the event if the kids wear Pikachu and their dad wears Satoshi.
Also, the costume of the characters in the movie "Suicide Squad" will be great to wear for the event.
Especially, the costume for Harley Quinn acted by Margot Robbie is very pop and cute, so it should be good for ladies.
Standard costumes, of course, like witches and ghosts have extreme popularity this year as well.
Well, have you already decided what to wear for this coming Halloween?

Ben Amos, Ravel Morrison, Paul Pogba, Zeki Fryers, Darron Gibson, Danny Welbeck and Federico Macheda, alongside the likes of Michael Owen and Dimitar Berbatov.
If United are dumped out of the FA Cup on Jan 8 by neighbours and fellow Europa Leaguers Manchester City, the merits of participating in Uefa's unloved cup for cast-offs might just force Sir Alex Ferguson into a rethink of his plans for the second half of the season.
But unless the Europa League suddenly offers United their only realistic hope of silverware in the new year, there is plenty to be said for treating the tournament as a fast-track European finishing school for the club's next generation.
Patrice Evra's claim that playing for United in the Europa League will be 'embarrassing' highlighted the disdain within the senior squad for participating in the competition.
But beyond the humiliation - and Ferguson might want to expose some of his under-performing stars to the embarrassment of playing in the Europa League - there are good reasons for the United manager to turn to the kids when the tournament resumes in 2012.
The Scot admitted following the 2-1 defeat against FC Basle that the prospect of playing Thursday-Sunday for the majority of the second half of the season poses a challenge and a drain on his team's resources.
And with City pulling away in the Premier League, United can ill-afford to handicap their pursuit by flogging the likes of Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney around the outposts of Europe on Thursday nights ahead of crucial league games less than 72 hours later.
So Ferguson should rest his senior players, leave them at home and conserve their energies and hand Morrison, Pogba, Fryers and co. the chance to earn the European experience that will serve them well in the years to come.
In 1994, Ferguson reacted to United's Champions League group stage elimination by blooding the youngsters in a final game dead-rubber against Galatasaray at Old Trafford and it was a night that saw David Beckham and Nicky Butt emerge as Euro stars in a 4-0 victory. Five years later, both were key components of United's Treble-winning team.
So what does Ferguson have to lose by turning to Ravel Morrison and Paul Pogba?
Such an experiment might see United eliminated by a more experienced outfit, but there is unlikely to be a huge appetite at Old Trafford for the Europa League to dominate the fixture list for too long anyway.
The rebuilding work for next season's Champions League campaign begins now, so why not start by doing it for the kids?
