Gucci Mane Arrested Again For Allegedly Pushing Woman Out Of Moving Hummer!
"He's in the news again. Radric Davis, who is more famously known as Gucci Mane, is not only in the news again...he's in jail again. This time he's charged with battery, a misdemeanor, but as a result of the arrest, he is also charged with violating his probation on previous charges. The rap star was taken into custody by DeKalb County Sheriff Deputies while he was visiting his probation officer at the Georgia Department of Corrections Probation Office on Sylvan Road in Atlanta. Gucci Mane was transported to the DeKalb County jail where was booked in and will wait for a probation hearing. The incident he is charged with happened on January 28th, according to an incident report from DeKalb County police. According to the report, Gucci Mane picked up a 36 year old woman at South DeKalb Mall in a white Hummer after he asked her if she wanted to go to breakfast. The alleged victim stated she had never met the suspect previously but knew of his musical profession according to the report. At one point the woman realized he wasn't taking her for breakfast. "(The woman) asked what was he doing and where were they going. Gucci Mane stated that he wanted to go to the hotel and that he would give her $150 dollars. (The woman) refused and stated just take me back to the mall, I can make my own money." The report said Gucci Mane leaned over the woman and opened the passenger side door while the vehicle was still in motion. "Gucci Mane shoved (the woman) several times in the side and shoulder area attempting to get her out of his vehicle." The report said the vehicle left the roadway and Gucci Mane was able to push (the woman) out of the vehicle which was still moving. According to the report, the woman was transported to Atlanta Medical Center complaining of soreness and pain. The woman was advised to apply for a warrant. "Detectives did not take out a warrant," said DeKalb Police spokesperson Mekka Parish. "In misdemeanor assault/battery cases the victim applies for warrants." The arrest Friday is the result of an April 1, 2011 Magistrate Court Hearing of the woman's complaint. Gucci Mane is no stranger to police in metro Atlanta. This arrest follows at least five other arrests in Fulton County alone since 2005." - Atlanta News

He's only been in office for seven months, and combative San Diego Mayor Bob Filner is already fighting to keep his job, facing allegations of sexual harassment and bringing unwelcome attention to a city that has struggled for years with political corruption, fiscal mismanagement and civic strife.
Four of the last eight elected mayors who preceded Filner either left office amid allegations of graft or admitted later wrongdoing.
And now Filner, a former congressman elected last November on a pledge to reform City Hall, finds himself the target of withering criticism from former supporters demanding that he step down.
The accusers say Filner harassed "numerous" female employees, but have declined to offer specifics. They seemed prepared to file a formal claim that could cause more damage.
Filner initially countered that there were "no allegations to respond to." But on Thursday afternoon, he released a pre-recorded statement in which he apologized to the city and promised to "change my behavior."
"As someone who has spent a lifetime fighting for equality for all people, I am embarrassed to admit that I have failed to fully respect the women who work for me and with me, and that at times I have intimidated them," Filner said. "I am also humbled to admit that I need help."
The allegations are the latest flashpoint of a tumultuous term that has included claims of improper dealings with a developer, a secret trip to France and questions about his treatment of staff members and political opponents.
Collectively, the grievances raise the question: Why does San Diego City Hall suffer so much trouble?
The answer is difficult to determine.
One possible explanation offered by political observers is that good government depends on robust civic engagement, and San Diego needs more of it.
"The only hypothesis I could come up with is that compared to other big cities, people tend not to pay attention to San Diego politics," said Brian Adams, an associate professor of political science at San Diego State University. "The mayor and council get a lot less attention than those of Los Angeles or New York City or San Francisco. And because of that, politicians may think they can get away with more. It may be the lack of public attention, reducing the amount of oversight."
He added: "I'd love to see the percentage of San Diegans who can actually name the mayor."
Steven Erie, a historian and political scholar at the University of California at San Diego, wrote a book on the city's municipal problems, titled "Paradise Plundered: Fiscal Crisis and Governance Failures in San Diego." He is blunt in his assessment of the city as politically "amateurish," a relatively young town that hasn't really grown up.
He blames a set of unique circumstances.
First, Erie said, San Diego is a military town, and the culture of unquestioned authority bleeds into civilian life.
For much of the city's recent political history, City Hall had friendly ties with the business community, Erie said. Critics blame that coziness in part for the city's mishandling of its pension funds that led to a lengthy financial crisis. Filner happens to come from outside that power structure, but that has not inoculated him from trouble.
Second, because of the Navy, and San Diego's physical beauty, the city attracts a lot of people from other parts of the country. These transplants are not as invested in local politics, Erie said. Many are more concerned that the weather stays nice.
"People just are not involved," he said. "They don't care."
The result, Erie argues, is a string of embattled or ineffective mayors, broken by one or two good ones.
The list starts with Mayor Frank E. Curran, elected in 1963 and defeated in 1971 while under indictment for allegedly taking bribes. He ended up being acquitted. He was replaced by Pete Wilson, the future governor, who is widely considered the city's best mayor of recent memory.
After Wilson came Roger Hedgecock, who lasted two years before he was convicted on charges of illegal campaign fundraising. The California Supreme Court later threw out most of the convictions. He ended up pleading guilty to a single felony that was later reduced to a misdemeanor, and finally expunged from his record.
Hedgecock was replaced by Maureen O'Connor, the city's first female mayor, who served from 1986 to 1992. She did not get into much legal trouble during her time in office; her shame came later. O'Connor pleaded guilty this year to charges that she misappropriated more than $2 million from her late husband's charitable foundation to finance a nearly decade-long gambling habit.
The next troubled mayoralty was of Dick Murphy, elected in 2000. His administration was overwhelmed by allegations of financial mismanagement -- stemming from a $1.4 billion pension deficit -- securities fraud and corruption. He stepped down in 2005.
His interim replacement was city councilman Michael Zucchet, who served just three days before he stepped down after being convicted in a campaign corruption case. A judge ended up throwing out those convictions, and a new trial resulted in their dismissal.
Around that time, a local congressman, Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, pleaded guilty to accepting more than $2 million in bribes. That scandal did not touch City Hall, but it didn't help San Diego's image.
Jerry Sanders was elected mayor in 2005, and he served until 2012. He is largely credited with steadying the city's fiscal outlook.
Sanders was succeeded by Filner, who took office in December 2012.
And now he, too, is facing demands that he quit.
So far, he has shown no signs of giving in.
Even his public apology on Thursday showed no hint of a resignation.
"You have every right to be disappointed in me," Filner said. "I only ask that you give me an opportunity to prove I am capable of change, so that the vision I have for our city's future can be realized."

"I don't wait for moods. You accomplish nothing if you do that. Your mind must know it has got to get down to work" -Pearl S. Buck
I've decided to make a quick trip to NY for literally one weekend. I'm crazy right? I'll be flying out December 16th. I didn't want to make this trip too long just because in January I have my photoshoot in L.A. with American Apparel, and then in February i'll be in NY again for fashion week. I'm very much a shoulder pad fiend. You'll rarely catch me without them. Most of you are probably wondering what I'm wearing on my head. It's called an agal. A lot of Arab men in the Middle East wear keffiyehs, which are giant pieces of cloth on their heads. The agal is used to secure the wrap to the head. I did a previous post with the actual keffiyeh a while back, you guys can see it HERE. This time I just wanted to use the agal. Also, I just want to say that I've been having crazy trouble with my eyes lately. I already have horrible eyesight but apparently my eyes don't produce enough tears and my doctor says it's a possibility that I'll only be able to wear my glasses from now on instead of my contacts because my contacts are damaging my eyes. That's why I haven't been taking blog pictures as often. I have my appointment tomorrow so hopefully I get some good news and can bust out my contacts again because these glasses are driving me insane!

WTO Photo Quiz
|Real or Re-enactment?
Photographer Kevin Sharp paired his photos of the 1999 WTO event in Seattle with stills from the new film Battle in Seattle.
|1 of 6
Kevin Sharp lives in the Pacific Northwest, and is currently shooting portrait, wedding, architectural, and documentary photography.
He says about his work: "W. Eugene Smith's work has haunted and challenged me since I traveled to West Africa in 1998. The relationships that formed between Smith and his subjects allowed for intimate and beautiful images that reflect an honest portrait of an individual. I have found that my best work is created within these same relationships. Taking pictures is easy but capturing images that speak is complicated. The images I share are of my finest memories. The images that speak are what remind me to listen and understand."

Thursday 21 November 2019
In February 2012 the Trustees of the IFRS Foundation, the oversight body of the IASB, concluded their review of the strategy of the IFRS Foundation. The review was initiated at the end of 2010 as the IFRS Foundation was entering its second decade of existence and was a result of the IFRS Foundation's second Constitution Review that was completed in early 2010.
The Trustees' strategy review sought to articulate a clear strategy and vision for the organisation by considering the mission, governance, standard-setting process and financing of the IFRS Foundation.
To obtain input from its stakeholders, the Trustees published two consecutive consultation documents. Both sets of reviews were subjected to extensive global public consultation with interested parties, and included public round tables in Hong Kong, London, New York and Tokyo. For more information, see the timetable of the strategy review.
The Trustees agreed to coordinate their activities with those of the Monitoring Board of the IFRS Foundation, which was conducting its own independent wide-ranging review at the same time. The Monitoring Board review focused primarily on institutional aspects of governance, particularly the composition and respective roles and responsibilities of the Monitoring Board, the Trustees and the IASB. As a result, the Trustees of the IFRS Foundation and the Monitoring Board published their respective reports jointly on 9 February 2012.

Edited by Pauline Boudry/Renate Lorenz, Anja Casser, in collaboration with Electra
As an artists' book, Aftershow engages with the recent film installations of Pauline Boudry/Renate Lorenz. Installation shots, research material, scripts, and film stills give an insight into the artists' investigation of performance in film and their dense net of references to experimental film, the history of photography, sound, and underground (drag) performances. The book's title alludes to an interest in opaque events that are belated, left backstage or off-screen. A number of (fictitious) letters to friends and collaborators such as Sharon Hayes, Yvonne Rainer, Ginger Brooks-Takahashi, and Jack Smith place the work of Boudry & Lorenz in a context of debates around temporalities, activism, the archival, decolonizing practices, and queer histories.

O seeker,
These thoughts have such power over you.
From nothing you become sad.
From nothing you become happy.
Last night I learned how to be a lover of God,
To live in this world and call nothing my own.
I looked inward
And the beauty of my own emptiness filled me till dawn.
The surface of the earth says, "The treasure is within."
Your heart is the size of an ocean –
Go find the gem hidden in your depths!
But you have no need to go anywhere – journey within yourself.
Enter a mine of rubies and bathe in the splendor of your own light.
One who can't open the door of his own heart
is like a lover without a tear.
You ask, "Who is the King?" – Tell the world that you are the King!
~Rumi ( From Jonanthan star's "In the arms of the Beloved"

Hi Hyperion!
I just discovered that when running on German locale AmiUpdate gives misleading information.
On first invocation AmiUpdate gives this notification to restart the computer:
When you follow the advice it's apparent that this will lead you nowhere, of course. But when you invoke AmiUpdate the second time, the program window pops up and you'll see this:
You can see not matched strings and wrong order of buttons. The correct buttons show up when you switch to English language:
As you can see, the buttons in the German locale are mixed up:
- Scan is Aktualisieren (Update)
- Update is Abbrechen (Cancel)
- Select None is Fortfahren (Proceed)
- Info is Danke (Thanks)
So, clicking on Aktualisieren (Update) will result in another scan for updated packages.
I was updating from two versions behind and on very first invocation AmiUpdate itself updated, resulting in this broken setup. Maybe when updating from the previous version this problem does not occur.
Just wanted to let you know...

Allison Janney Finds Satisfaction in 'Masters of Sex'
By Stacy Jenel Smith , September 29, 2013 12:01 AM
If you have any qualms about watching nudity, masturbation and copulation, Showtime's Masters of Sex, premiering tonight (9/29), is not for you. The miniseries about pioneering sex researchers William Masters and Virginia Johnson shows us wired-up subjects giving their all for science, stroke by stroke, surging past taboos like Masters and Johnson did, climaxing in a heady new experience. Even for Showtime, it's breathtaking stuff -- yet Allison Janney is convinced, "The public is going to embrace this, they're going to love it. It's going to be a huge show, just huge."
Four-time Emmy winner Janney is part of a cast led by Michael Sheen ( The Queen) and Lizzy Caplan ( Mean Girls), who are both excellent, as Masters and Johnson. Beau Bridges plays Washington University Provost Barton Scully, a mentor of star obstetrics and gynecology faculty member Masters, who, as the series begins in 1956, is scared to death of Masters' probing of human sexuality. And why wouldn't he be? Watching women writhing around pleasuring themselves was a tough sell as laboratory research back then, to say the least.
Bridges and Janney play husband and wife, "and our storyline - oh!" enthuses the former The West Wing star. "It was so incredibly exciting to play this really difficult situation my character is in. It's really well-written, and the period, the costumes and hair - it was just extraordinary."
The series was developed and produced by Michelle Ashford, based on the book Masters of Sex: The Life and Times of William Masters and Virginia Johnson, the Couple Who Taught America How to Love, by Thomas Maier.
"It's so sad that Virginia Johnson died before she could see a show that was inspired by her life's work," says Janney of the woman who began as Masters' assistant and, despite her lack of education and status as a divorced mother, wound up as his full research partner and, for two decades, his wife. Johnson died in July at age 88.
Janney, who keeps turning in exemplary performances no matter what form of production she is in, is hoping that if Masters of Sex goes to a second season, she'll be doing both the Showtime series and her new Mom sitcom with Anna Faris. The show, from comedy mogul Chuck Lorre, has Faris as a recovering alcoholic and single mother revisiting the troubled relationship she has with her own recovering addict mother, Janney. With surprising moments of realism, it's won plaudits for both actresses. "I love how my character just wants to be back in her daughter's life and her granddaughter's life. I think she is lonely. I think she is struggling with her own sobriety and wants very much to make amends, even though she is not quite willing to admit all the things she did wrong," Janney says.
Her character is also "definitely playing the field and doing the cougar thing a little bit, which is fun. I'm going to have fun playing this lady."

Haitian Farmers: So All Can Eat, Produce It Here
Doudou Pierre is on the coordinating committee of the National Haitian Network for Food Sovereignty and Food Security (RENHASSA). He is also a member of the International Coordinating Committee for Food Sovereignty, organized by Vía Campesina, the worldwide coalition of small farmer organizations, as well as the National Peasant Movement of the Papay Congress and the Peasant Movement for Acul du Nord. Here, he speaks about how government investment in small farmers and in food sovereignty could impact Haiti's future.
We're putting together a national network, RENHASSA, to show what our alternatives are today. The whole peasant sector is coming together to tell everyone about the policies we want. Our mission is to advocate for Haiti to be sovereign with its food and to promote national production.
We're mobilizing politically for the policies we want. We publish articles and do community radio programs about our positions. We're also doing media campaigns and having meetings to educate people about growing for local and family consumption as much as possible, instead of buying food from other countries. People are starting to recognize and change their habits to just buy local goods.
But the state must exercise its responsibility toward its people. When we talk about reconstructing Haiti, we can't just talk about houses. It's got to be a whole plan. We have to talk about reconstructing land—about total reforestation.
First, we have to decentralize the Republic of Port-au-Prince, which got created during the U.S. occupation of 1915 to 1934. Services now exist only in the capital. People died during the earthquake for an identity card or a copy of a transcript, because they had to come to Port-au-Prince to get them. Services must be in all departments [akin to states]. All the people who are in the countryside have to have the resources to stay there.
Second—and this is the essential element—is the relaunching of agriculture in this country. We were almost self-sufficient until the 1980s. We have to fight and pressure the state so that it prioritizes agriculture. Otherwise, we'll always have to depend on multinationals and non-governmental organizations for our food. The government has to take responsibility for that.
We're not in favor just of food security, which is a neoliberal idea. With food security, as long as you eat, it's good. But we only produce 43 percent of our food. 57 percent is imported. We need food sovereignty, which means that for everyone to eat, we produce it here at home. We could produce here at least 80 percent of what we eat.
You can't speak of food sovereignty without speaking of family agriculture. We need that and we need indigenous seeds. We need for peasants to have their own land.
We have threats from multinationals, mainly to grow jatropha [whose seeds produce oil which can be used for biofuel]. The Jatropha Foundation is lobbying hard to start growing. Jatropha puts us at risk, because we don't have enough land to be able to divert some toward biofuel. Haiti is only 27,760 square kilometers. Their plan would have us produce even less food, and would force peasants to be expropriated. Plus, they'd be using a lot of water, which could create an ecological disaster. It's a death plan against the peasants.
We're mobilizing people against growing biofuel. Last October, when the government was considering giving contracts to grow jatropha, we held a big march and sit-in; we gave a petition to parliament. We said, "No, Haiti's land is for growing food." We met with the minister of agriculture and the World Food Program.
We're also mobilizing against GMO seeds, and we've just declared war against Monsanto. This battle has just begun.
Besides food sovereignty, our other main priority is integrated land reform. We can't talk about food sovereignty if people don't have land. They have to have land to be able to market—that's the only way we can get away from food aid. Our plan is to take the land from the big landowners and give it to the peasants to work. And the food has to be organic, without any chemical fertilizers which destroy the land. We don't use anything [unnatural in our cultivation process].
A Future for Agriculture, a Future for Haiti
Haiti's way forward is tied to food sovereignty and a renewed focus on local agriculture.
Food Rebellions: 7 Steps to Solving the Food Crisis
Resistance to the trade and "aid" policies that displace farmers and increase hunger.
Now even if people have a little handkerchief of land, they don't have the technical support to let them plant. The state has to give us credit and technical support and help us store and manage water. Préval said he was doing "agrarian reform" in his first term. We called it agrarian demagoguery. He just gave out a few parcels, divided into very small plots, to his political clientele and political party—even to people who weren't in Haiti. And his government didn't offer any technical support.
That's not what we need. The agrarian reform we want is for those who work the land to have the right to that land and all its infrastructure.
The cultural reality of Haiti is that peasants each want their own little piece of land to produce their own food. But there has to be cooperative land. Peasant organizations can create collectives to produce food for export and make money, but for that there has to be integrated land reform with technical support, credit, water, everything. We must have government support.
Right now, the government doesn't even exist for us. It's saying to the international community, "Here's our country. Come take it." They've given away the whole country, and now we have [U.N. Special Envoy Bill] Clinton, who is a tool of the big multinationals. So, on top of all our other fights, we have to fight to change the state.

How to Stress Less
You can face your too-much-to-do day without tensing up or listening to every crazy thought your brain churns out. Are you ready to learn how?
How You Can Relieve Stress
It's been a long, long day. You skipped lunch, ran 50 errands, and now you realize that your whole head is aching, you are seriously cranky, and every muscle in your body is sore. Your life, as they say, is out of control. But that doesn't mean you have to suffer. "There's a lot you can do to relieve stress, even in a single moment, if you prepare yourself," says Herbert Benson, M.D., director emeritus, Benson-Henry Institute for Mind-Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. Next time you're feeling frenzied, frustrated, and fed up, try one of our instant serenity tips.
Tension Trigger #1
It's 3 a.m. and you're wide awake, heart racing as you worry about tomorrow's staff meeting.
How to Stress Less: Picture a soothing scene."Our bodies respond as well when we imagine walking on the beach or sitting in our backyard as when we actually go there," says Leslie Davenport, author of Healing and Transformation Through Self-Guided Imagery (Celestial Arts). Mental images are a powerful way to create a calming link between the mind and body. Close your eyes and take a few slow, deep breaths. Spend five minutes visualizing a peaceful spot, making it feel real by noticing details like air temperature, sounds, scents, and colors.
Tension Trigger #2
The kids are clamoring for dinner, your mother calls to say she needs you to pick up her prescription right this minute, and your neck and shoulders are in knots.
How to Stress Less: Give yourself a mini-massage."It's a fail-safe way to reduce your heart rate, slow the release of stress hormones, and boost serotonin," says Tiffany Field, Ph.D., director of the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine. Try this anywhere, anytime shoulder stretch from Katy Dreyfus, author of The Massage Deck (Chronicle Books). Tilt your head to the right. With your right hand, press into the muscles between your left shoulder and base of the neck. As you squeeze, rotate the left shoulder in small circles. Repeat on the other side.
Tension Trigger #3
You're obsessed that your son's C+ in geometry will ruin his chances of getting into college.
How to Stress Less: Stop for a reality check.In all likelihood, you're being driven to distraction by ideas from your own overactive imagination. "Most of what we say to ourselves is negative," says Alice Domar, Ph.D., coauthor of Be Happy Without Being Perfect (Crown). "It's human nature. But you can learn to stop those stressful thoughts." When you're feeling overwhelmed, create a short phrase that describes what you're feeling (for instance, "He'll never get into a good school,") then ask yourself whether this scenario is more of a knee-jerk assumption, or is supported by real evidence. Now invent a more factually accurate statement. For example: "My son may struggle with math, but he excels in other subjects, so his college prospects are still good."
Tension Trigger #4
The clock's ticking—you have only 20 minutes to drop off the dry cleaning before you have to pick up the kids from practice. Meanwhile, the guy at the cleaners is taking his sweet time with the customer in front of you.
How to Stress Less: Count your way to calm.Deep breathing puts more oxygen into your bloodstream and lowers your blood pressure and heart rate. The next time you're fuming, notice your exhalations, counting through them from one to four, then repeat the process until you're feeling better. "Consciously choosing where to focus your attention instead of letting it be pulled around by events short-circuits your body's fight-or-flight stress response," says Nina Smiley, Ph.D., coauthor of The Three Minute Meditator (Mind's I Press).
Tension Trigger #5
The cable company stood you up. You spilled milk all over the kitchen. And the babysitter canceled for Saturday, so goodbye, date night.
How to Stress Less: Blow off steam."There can be tremendous relief when we transfer our distressing thoughts and feelings from inside our minds to outside," says Davenport. Ideally, you'd call a friend and ask her to listen to a quick vent when your day is unraveling. But for those times when that's not an option, keep a small notebook in your purse so you can write a few uncensored lines about how annoyed you are. The benefits are real: Ongoing studies by psychologist James W. Pennebaker, Ph.D., found that people who wrote daily about their emotions felt better and went to the doctor fewer times. If journaling isn't for you, try scribbling mindlessly or drawing jagged lines on a piece of paper, then tearing it up. "It's not the exact form of release that is important," says Davenport, "but the process of letting the feelings out."
Tension Trigger #5
Tension Trigger #6
The great idea you pitched to your boss fell flat, last fall's splurge jeans are now too tight, and your best friend took her book club pal to the movie you told her you were dying to see.
How to Stress Less: Give yourself pep talks.When life hands us a disappointment, it's often our nasty inner critic who delivers the knockout punch. But we can train ourselves to be more resilient. "Repeat a simple self-affirming phrase several times every day and it will sink in and counteract the negativity," says Matthew McKay, Ph.D., coauthor of The Relaxation & Stress Reduction Workbook (New Harbinger). Think of a compliment you'd like to receive and turn it into a statement—for instance, "I'm a talented, creative person" or "I'm fun to be with" and repeat it to yourself frequently. "Make your affirmation part of your regular routine by pairing it with everyday events like brushing your teeth, sitting down to a meal, or taking breaks at work," suggests McKay.
Tension Trigger #7
Is it Friday the 13th, or what? Nope, it's just one of those "Murphy's Law" days when anything that can go wrong does go wrong. You just can't get out of your own way.
How to Stress Less: Do a good deed."Like exercise and nutrition, helping people is great for your health," says Allan Luks, coauthor of The Healing Power of Doing Good (Ballantine). And while research shows that volunteering a couple of hours a week provides the greatest benefit, "an everyday quick good deed can also be a powerful tool by taking the focus off your own problems," says clinical psychologist Barbara Becker Holstein. Send an encouraging e-card to a friend, drop a donation in the box for the food bank, or ask a coworker how she is and then take a few minutes to really listen. You'll both feel better!
How 5 Women Learned to Chill Out
Five inspired women share how they get a grip on what's giving them grief.
- "If I'm feeling stressed, I jot down one or two things I'm grateful for right now and put it in a 'blessings' box. This gives me perspective and makes a great touchstone to return to any time I need grounding." -Jennifer Lee, Oakland, California
- "When my runaway brain spins out bad scenarios, I refocus my thoughts on the passage of time. I imagine a clock ticking through the minutes and tell myself that no matter what's happening, this too shall pass." -Theola Labbe-DeBose, Washington, D.C.
- "I've adopted the habit of slotting 30 minutes every day on my calendar to relax with no distractions. I may soak in the bathtub, take a walk, or curl up in my bed with a book, but that half hour is all mine!" -Liz Banks, Villa Rica, Georgia
- "I used to say yes to everything. Then I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and needed to change my lifestyle. Now I'm fierce about turning down parties and events that don't enrich my life." -Valerie Paxton, Phoenix, Arizona
- "When I'm going into a stressful interaction, I wear a special charm, often the ring I bought after I completed my master's degree. When things get tense, I touch the ring to remind me about something I'm proud of." -Margaret Hellwarth, Reno, Nevada

Identifying Invalid CSV Files in Error Table Data
A newer version of this documentation is available. Click here to view the most up-to-date release of the Greenplum 5.x documentation.
Identifying Invalid CSV Files in Error Table Data
If a CSV file contains invalid formatting, the rawdata field in the error table can contain several combined rows. For example, if a closing quote for a specific field is missing, all the following newlines are treated as embedded newlines. When this happens, Greenplum stops parsing a row when it reaches 64K, puts that 64K of data into the error table as a single row, resets the quote flag, and continues. If this happens three times during load processing, the load file is considered invalid and the entire load fails with the message "rejected N or more rows". See Escaping in CSV Formatted Files for more information on the correct use of quotes in CSV files.

|Declasse (GTA IV)
|Vehicle type:
|Civilian car
|Body style:
|2-door muscle coupe
|2 (driver and passenger)
GTA Chinatown Wars
|Based on:
|See #Design
The Sabre GT is a high performance muscle car in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. Manufactured by Declasse, the Sabre GT is more alike earlier renditions of the Sabre prior to GTA IV (as GTA IV's Sabre is redesigned with a modern appearance), and is also comparable to the Sabre Turbo in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
The Sabre GT borrows bits and pieces from various American muscle cars. The back and sides resemble a 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass [1] - but the sides have softer lines and could be from '68/'69 Chevrolet Chevelles, the grille has a resemblance to a 1970 AMC Rebel, the front is similar to a 1970 Buick GSX [2] (the headlights and the shape of the bumper is also very similar to a 1970 Cutlass) and the front bumper's round turning signals are similar to a 1968 or 1969 Dodge Coronet. The wheels appear to be based on those found on Pontiac Firebirds during the 1970's. The paintjob seems to look like that of a Mustang Mach 1 with some characteristics of a Shelby Mustang. The different hood scoop on some Sabre GTs resembles that of a 1968 Shelby Mustang. Overall, the look created emulates a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS (and probably explains why it is manufactured by Declasse). The Sabre GT has a different Declasse logo than the makers other cars, being an older design, a circle with "Declasse" written around the inside edge.
The Sabre GT is remarkably similar to the Sabre Turbo from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. The stripes featured on some Sabre GTs look much like the ones on the Sabre Turbo, except the stripes do not continue all the way down the hood to the front of the car. The words "Sabre Turbo" are painted on the lower sides of the car, just in front of the rear wheels. Sabre GTs may also appear with a hood bulge or a large hood scoop.

A variant of the Sabre GT in GTA IV with a large hood scoop.

The engine is a turbocharged 550 cubic inch (9 litre) V8, and it definitely sounds like it, with the turbo whistle evident at higher RPM. "550ci" decals are featured on the boot lid, front fenders and on the hood stripes. There are several iterations of the Sabre GT, but these are cosmetic in nature: some feature a plain hood, others feature a cowl (reverse) scoop on the hood for the air filter with a "TURBOCHARGED" badge on either side, and some feature a more aggressive forward-facing scoop on the hood, which also has steel quick-release pins to keep the hood from flying off under high speed. The engine is comparable to a Dukes in horsepower, but with slightly less torque, allowing for fast acceleration with the wheels seldom breaking loose under full throttle. Because of the minor torque deficit, it's a bit harder to get the Sabre GT to spin both its wheels on dry tarmac. The exhaust note is unique to the Sabre GT, and it shares its horn with the Sabre. Both can be recognized immediately, although the exhaust note may also be noted as more closely resembling the Stallion, however when heard from the rear of the car, it seems muted in comparison to the Stallion, possibly because of the turbo. However, when heard from the front of the car, the whistle of the turbo and the roar of the 550ci V8 is distinct.
The Sabre GT rolls plenty through corners and has a strong tendency to understeer. This is particularly evident during hard braking; the car simply dives forward, sometimes enough to damage the front spoiler. The brakes also have a very heavy front bias, meaning more understeer during braking, but the upside of this is that there's no lock-up of the tires, meaning more consistent braking. Players may therefore take advantage of the progressive brake controls on the Xbox 360 or PS3 controllers, in order to avoid brake lockups. However, it handles far better than the Dukes or Stallion.
The Sabre GT also proves tolerant to rain-slicked roads, if the driver does his part. Since the suspension allows for a low ground clearance (combined with the body-roll during cornering and braking), it is not uncommon to find nicks and scratches along the undercarriage due to scraping against uneven road surfaces and potholes, even when one attempts to drive conservatively. The front spoiler is prone to scraping when hitting hills, crests and bumps in the road, and may even break the turn signals mounted on either side of the front spoiler.
A Sabre GT is wanted by Brucie and Stevie for their export businesses. The Sabre GT wanted by Stevie can be found in a driveway near Meadows Park. It is seen in a unique lime green with a blue stripe and orange tint.

Accuracy, patient safety, and portability have all been engineered into the Model DS7100 Handrail Scale. Moving the scale from room to room takes very little effort, as the scale only weighs 30 pounds. Simply tilt the scale back on the two built-in, non-marking wheels and roll the scale to its new destination. The non-skid surface on the large low-profile base and the ergonomically designed handrails have been designed with the safety of unsteady patients in mind.
For busy workflows weighing a stream of patients, Doran's Touchless Start feature acquires a patient's weight in as little as two seconds without any buttons to press. Simply have the patient step onto the DS7100 platform and an accurate weight up to 1,000 pounds will be held on the display. Our exclusive Weight Lock feature allows an accurate weight to be held regardless of a patient's motion
The Reweigh feature allows a second weight to be acquired while the patient remains on the platform. Last Weight allows the previous weight and BMI value to be recalled after the patient has left the platform for later recording. To calculate BMI, enter the height using the scroll buttons, press the BMI button and the patient's Body Mass Index is instantly displayed.
Modeles With USB and RS-232 communications options allow the recording of a patient's weight and BMI value into a PC based Excel Spreadsheet with the optional Excelerator software. Patient data can also be sent to an optional printer or EMR system

Ratings & Reviews
-WOW...I Am Impressed!!
I moved to TX 2 years ago and noticed when I polished my nails the next day the polish would have a cloudy and gummy white film that I could scrape off. No bueno! So I came across Zoya web surfing and came across this beautiful gem. This has saved me nearly $100 a month since I no longer have to go get my nails shellaced any more. When using armor I also cap my free edge and I literally have no wear or chipping for a full 2 weeks +. As long as I live in TX Zoya`s anchor and armor will be a staple.
Zoya Armor Top Coat 0.5ozArmor indeed!
Zoya`s polishes last longer than most without the top coat, but with it - oh my, the polish lasts much longer. I spend 3 days a week in pool classes and the chlorine has no effect, my nails stay shiny with no fading, or discoloration. Actually, most of the matte finishes can resist chlorine anyway, but this top coat makes my nails like armor. no, really! Easily 2 weeks before I take it off.
Zoya Armor Top CoatGreat for Zoya and other chip-prone formulas!
Although I will forever be a Seche Vite girl, I recognize there are polishes that that formula just doesn`t play nicely with (like Zoya). And when Seche doesn`t work nice, 99.9% of the time Zoya Armor definitely will! Case and point: Chanel. Chanel wears like IRON with this stuff and normally it`s a chippy mess.
I`m too prone to messing up my manicure while waiting for it to dry to use this as my go-to , but when I`m in a patient mood I have no qualms reaching for this stuff.
Zoya Armor Top Coatamazingly the BEST
This is better than any other product out there. My polish stayed on for a week no CHIPPING!!! Typing all day and rough wear and tear on my nails.. not a CHIP!!! I wish this polish was in more stores. It`s super hard to find this brand and it`s the best on the market!
Zoya Armor Top Coat 0.5ozI wanted it to work as promised, but....
I purchased Anchor and Armor in the hopes that they would extend the life of my mani longer than the other base and topcoats I use as promised by Zoya`s copy. To be fair, I do use my hands a lot but I thought that perhaps Anchor would work better than my other topcoats. I used it on top of KI with Anchor underneath. Alas, my nails showed significant tip wear on the first day after the mani and chipped on the second. But I`m conducting an experiment so I may re-review it. I am giving Anchor and Armor a few more chances with different Zoya polish finishes such as cream, glitter, duochrome, and sheer. Perhaps it was just this one polish that chipped faster than usual. Let`s see what happens!
Zoya Armor Top Coat 0.5ozNail Professional
I love Armor top coat it protects your nail color for long lasting wear. I love it!!!
Zoya Armor Top Coat 0.5ozArmor is AMAZING!
This is the best topcoat I have ever used bar none! Thanks for making it!
Zoya Armor Top Coat 0.5oz Simply The Best!
Holy. Crap. Armor kicks Seche Vite`s butt in the long-wear, chip-free category! Hi-Ya! I don`t even follow the directions to reapply every other day, and my polish lasts a full NINE days without a single chip! The drying time for Armor isn`t as instantaneous as the quick-dry topcoats, but who cares? Most other topcoats dissolve the chemical-light Zoya formula, anyway. I happily wait an extra ten minutes for my Armor to dry in order to get double the wear time on my manicures!
Zoya Armor Top Coat Love Zoya Armor!
I have tried a lot of topcoats, and Armor is my favorite. It leaves a smooth shine that wears really well. You only need 2 or 3 strokes with the brush after your polish is dry.
Zoya Armor Top CoatGreat Top Coat
I am a nail tech and all of my customers rave about the whole zoya product line. The colors are great and with the base and top coat, it lasts a lot longer than other brands. I love it.
Top Coats by ZoyaAwesome topcoat!!
I am a professional nail tech and LOVE this top coat! It glides over nail polish lovely and protects it like a dream! Stays shiny and flawless. I read a review about it dissolving someone`s "perfectly dry polish." All polish, whether it be top, base, or color, will contain solvents as this is how polish is made. This is nothing new. As long as the brush has a nice amount of topcoat on it, and you don`t drag and rake the brush over the nail, you won`t see color on the brush. This is an awesome product and I highly recommend it!
Zoya Armor Top CoatWhat the heck?
I`d give this product zero stars if I could, because it *dissolves* polish. Literally. I applied it to perfectly dried polish and it dissolved as though I`d dabbed it with remover. A complete mess and waste of money; extremely disappointed.
Zoya Armor Top CoatArmor
This product is true to its description: It makes your polish last longer and it doesnt yellow! The Zoya Topcoat and Basecoat are doing wonders when it comes to helping my toenails recover from the other basecoat I was using. I love this product!
Zoya Armor Top Coat 0.5ozJust Perfect
This armor top coat has double duty. When I used it as a base coat, it made any nail polish shade I apply over it, peelable! Great if you change your nail polish every 2 days. As a top coat it is fantastic. It protects and is glossy and clean. Love it.

Special Issue: Changes in Global Forest Resources from 1990 to 2015. Guest Editor: Kenneth MacDicken
Published in IUFRO's book, Forests under pressure - local responses to global issues, chapter 8 examines the enabling conditions or successful factors behind a set of exemplary cases of forest management by communities in Latin America.
Many people make a good living by harvesting and processing timber and non-timber forest products, but a great many more are poor. A key task for forest policymakers, foresters and extension agencies is to enable forest-dwelling people to earn more from forests. This edition of ITTO's Tropical Forest Update looks at the role of forests in livelihoods. Ewald Rametsteiner and Adrian Whiteman (p. 3) present an article summarizing FAO's State of the World's Forests 2014, which surveyed the socioeconomic benefits provided by forests.
With its mandate to work on natural resource management, food security, and livelihoods and its attention to the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has played a leading role in sustainable mountain development for many years. Published in Mountain Research and Development.
This paper, developed under the framework of the RECCAP initiative, aims at providing improved estimates of the carbon and green house gases (GHG) balance of continental Africa. Published in Biogeosciences.
A globally integrated carbon observation and analysis system is needed to improve the fundamental understanding of the global carbon cycle, to improve our ability to project future changes, and to verify the effectiveness of policies aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase carbon sequestration. Published in Biogeosciences.
The Congo Basin's current capacity for REDD+ readiness. Published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B.
Accurately mapping forest carbon now has important financial and livelihood implications for many smallholder farmers, businesses, investors, land-use projects and governments. Thus there is an urgent need to reduce uncertainties in the carbon cycle with the increasing focus on global sustainable forestry, and the international agenda on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation. Published in Nature Climate Change.
In the context of the adoption at the 16th Conference of the Parties in 2010 on the REDD+ mitigation mechanism, it is important to obtain reliable data on the spatiotemporal variation of forest carbon stocks and changes (called Emission Factor, EF). Published in International Journal of Forestry Research.
Developing countries that are willing to participate in the recently adopted (16th Session of the Conference of Parties (COP) in Cancun) mitigation mechanism of Reducing emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation - and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks (REDD+) - will have to establish a national forest monitoring system in order to assess anthropogenic forest-related greenhouse gas emissions by sources and removals by sinks. Published in Carbon Balance and Management.
