God says, "I was a treasure hidden, I created the creatures so that I be known."
For knowing Him properly it is mandatory for the creatures be acquainted with their Creator and His Attributes. For acquaintance there must be someone, who could introduce Him in a befitting manner to the creatures and this cannot be done by someone who himself is not completely familiar with and knows of the Creator. Therefore it becomes mandatory for the introducer to be fully enlightened with the Attributes of the Lord Creator. Su enlightened and enlightening source is Holy Prophet (PBUH).
Since the ways of God do not suffer alterations nor are they suspended therefore after passing away of Holy Prophet (PBUH) a chain of guidance was set in the form of Auliya Allah and would remain continue till the Last Day. When some metaphysical feat is performed by these people, it is termed as Wonder-working. The supernormal activities of prophets of God are called Miracles. Since these holy men have special correlation with Holy Prophet (PBUH), certain metaphysical things take place from them as well.
Some of the wonder-workings of Qalander Baba Auliya, a true servant and friend of God who heir the knowledge and legacy of Holy Prophet (PBUH), are presented here:

The Internet of Wildlife – connecting technology and wildlife to answer the big conservation questions of today and tomorrow
Connectivity in our everyday lives is something we all have gotten used to, both consciously and subconsciously. Whether it's the watch on your wrist uploading data to the web and then providing you analyses on your phone, or your phone triggering a connected device in your home when you cross an invisible geofence, we use connected networks every day. Until now wildlife tracking devices have been designed to work within a single platform (GSM, ARGOS, etc.), where every device communicates directly with a specific network. The Internet of WildlifeTM (IoW) leverages each organism in the network to intelligently collect and send information from one organism to the next allowing researchers to collect biological data never before possible. For example, with IoW small passerines transfer data to turtles, otters to gulls, whales to albatrosses; bigger animals can transmit to the internet and/or satellites so that the entire multi-species data stream ultimately reaches the researcher. This kind of intelligent data mesh network enables remote tracking of the smallest organisms. The IoW mesh network leverages existing network infrastructure, thereby reducing the need to deploy costlier infrastructure specific to certain type of wildlife tag, e.g., ICARUS. The CTT IoW will revolutionize how animal movement data are collected and how researchers and wildlife work together to answer big questions and ultimately help conserve species world-wide.
Michael Lanzone is the co-founder, CEO and chairman of Cellular Tracking Techologies, a company on the cutting edge of wildlife telemetry. Mike spent his teen years in upstate New York where he had the opportunity to work with both passerine and raptor banders. It was evident early that Mike had an inventive creativity, and he was lucky and determined enough to find ways to harness it in service of avian conservation. He devised Braddock Bay Bird Observatory's first aerial net, was instrumental in advancing the bioacoustics lab at Powdermill Avian Research Center, and his GPS trackers were integral to the success of Project Snowstorm. In 2017, he was the recipient of the ABA's Chandler Robbins Award for Conservation and Education. Now living and working in New Jersey, Mike is one of the leading Golden Eagle researchers in North America.

The power of partnerships: How a banding station can contribute to avian research
The Appledore Island Migration Station began operating in the 1970s. Initially, the AIMS banding station focused on documenting migration and stopover ecology of migrant landbirds. Although it began with a single purpose, the station has collaborated on a variety of projects that have increased its contributions to the study of avian migration. These projects have included large scale studies of bird movements, the role of migrant birds in zoonotic diseases, factors affecting stopover decisions by migrants, and flight calling behavior. Additionally, by being open to other opportunities, the station has contributed to the study of wind turbines and the analyses of complex shapes. While banding and the study of basic life history continue to be the focus of the AIMS banding station, partnerships have increased the scope and value of the science from this single site and contributed to its long-term operation.
For nearly three decades, Sara Morris has been using banding to answer questions about the behavior of migrating passerines, particularly in the Gulf of Maine. With more than 30 publications to her name on topics including vector-borne disease in songbirds, night-flight calls, and stopover decision-making in wood warblers, Sara uses avian research not only as a mechanism to understand bird behavior but also as a tool to mentor undergraduate and graduate students.
A professor of biology at Canisius College in Buffalo NY, Sara currently serves as the Associate Vice-President for Academic Affairs. She is the lead bander at the Appledore Island Migration Station and a research associate at the Braddock Bay Bird Observatory. She is the Immediate Past President of the Wilson Ornithological Society, a life member of the Eastern Bird Banding Association, and in 2014 she received the Marion Jenkinson AOU Service Award.

MODESTO, Calif. — For more than 15 years, Representative Darrell Issa has not so much as put out a yard sign. A Republican comfortably ensconced in his Southern California seat, he has blown by one challenger after another since being elected in 2000.
The days of his double-digit victories may be over. When the campaign season began, Mr. Issa was on nobody's list of vulnerable incumbents. Often cited as the wealthiest member of Congress, he is said to be able to bankroll his own campaign. His district has not undergone major demographic changes. And for years, he had promised to be the most vigilant interrogator of the Obama administration from his perch on an oversight committee, which Republicans cheered.
But in this upside-down year, Mr. Issa finds himself suddenly in danger of defeat, a prognosis worsened by his decision to embrace Donald J. Trump.
"It's a mystifyingly bad campaign that Issa's run," said David Wasserman, an editor of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. "And he is in grave danger."
Democrats, who cannot contain their glee at the prospect of his defeat, are trying to make the case that Mr. Issa is not alone. "If Darrell Issa, a long-term member who is well known in his district and outside his district, who is the richest member of Congress, is on the cusp of losing," said Representative Xavier Becerra of California, a member of House Democratic leadership, "then it's not just Darrell Issa who's going down."
Wealthier, white voters in the suburbs dominate Mr. Issa's district, an idyllic stretch of mountains and coastline between Los Angeles and San Diego, including San Clemente, where a disgraced President Richard M. Nixon went to write his memoirs.
About seven hours north, Representative Jeff Denham, a Republican who was first elected in 2010, is also facing a tough re-election fight. His district includes Modesto, a city of 205,000 that was depicted by the filmmaker George Lucas, a native son, in "American Graffiti." Today, the poverty rate hovers around 19 percent in a district where much of the economy depends on farming — particularly almonds, a crop greedy for water in the drought-stricken Central Valley of California where Modesto lies.
President Obama won at least once in each incumbent's district — twice in Mr. Denham's, where some party-agnostic, regionally focused conservative Democrats are more likely to refer to themselves as "valleycrats." Both districts have a large and growing Latino population, a group that historically is less likely to vote but is expected to do so in this year of antipathy toward Mr. Trump.
Mr. Denham, like Mr. Issa, has expressed support for Mr. Trump — or at least declined to push him away.
California Republicans have no candidate for the Senate because the state's open primary left two Democrats vying for the seat of Barbara Boxer, who is retiring. Numerous ballot initiatives focused on progressive causes could also give Republicans few reasons to turn out.
"Normal people don't get motivated by congressional candidates," said Daniel Schnur, a professor at the University of Southern California, who was the communications director for Senator John McCain of Arizona in his 2000 presidential bid. "They get motivated by the top of the ticket, and then they stick around to vote down ballot."
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the House Majority PAC, a Democratic "super PAC," have invested more than $4 million to defeat Mr. Issa and Mr. Denham. The Congressional Leadership Fund, a Republican super PAC, recently gave more than $1.6 million to Mr. Denham as part of a nationwide investment to shore up Republican candidates.
Mr. Issa, who endorsed Mr. Trump after previously backing Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, has signed on to the Republican nominee's national security advisory board. When a 2005 recording surfaced in which Mr. Trump talked about sexually assaulting women, Mr. Issa's campaign released a statement condemning the remarks as "wholly inappropriate, offensive and unfitting of anyone seeking to lead our nation," but the congressman did not rescind his support.
But he has tried an even more surprising move: embracing Mr. Obama. The former chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Mr. Issa so relished his position as the chief interrogator of the Obama administration during hearings on the Internal Revenue Service scandal and the attacks on a diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, that he used a stick figure in a police officer's cap as his Twitter avatar. Yet he recently distributed campaign mailers promoting a bill for which he was one of 40 co-sponsors that included a photograph of Mr. Obama signing it into law.
"That is the definition of chutzpah," Mr. Obama said of Mr. Issa during a fund-raiser on Sunday in the San Diego enclave of La Jolla.
Mr. Issa also dallied on investing in his race, waiting until October to start running ads, Mr. Wasserman said.
Mr. Issa's opponent, Doug Applegate, a retired Marine colonel who served in Iraq, has run ads with the help of significant financial support from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Mr. Issa is fighting back, highlighting in part accusations made against Mr. Applegate by his former wife in the early 2000s. According to court records, first reported by Politico, she was granted two temporary restraining orders after saying Mr. Applegate had threatened her during a divorce and custody battle.
"You have to look at the first person who responded to those really baseless allegations: It was my ex-wife," Mr. Applegate said in an interview. "She was offended at the attacks, said that she supported me and was going to be voting for me in November."
For his part, Mr. Issa is spending money "in a targeted and data-driven way to ensure the best bang for the buck," Calvin Moore, Mr. Issa's spokesman, wrote in an email.
Like many endangered Republican incumbents, Mr. Denham has danced around whether he supports Mr. Trump, saying he will work with whoever wins in November. "I've not weighed into this because I think it's not my place to weigh into it," he said.
In a column in The Modesto Bee in August, Mr. Denham said that while he was often troubled by Mr. Trump's comments, the New York developer was the only candidate who had "at least recognized" the region's water problem and had selected "an impressive group" of potential Supreme Court justices.
His opponent, Michael Eggman, a beekeeper, has staked his campaign on tying Mr. Denham to Mr. Trump. Walking along the rows of droning bees and almond trees on the farm he inherited from his father, Mr. Eggman gave few policy specifics but did offer a forceful denunciation of Mr. Denham, who beat him by 12 percentage points in 2014.
"To prove the fact that he's so disconnected from this district, he's endorsing Trump for president," Mr. Eggman said. "Trump doesn't represent the valley values that I know."
Mr. Denham's refusal to disavow Mr. Trump has also put him at odds with the editorial board of The Modesto Bee, the largest newspaper in his district. The paper has endorsed him four times — most recently in 2014 against Mr. Eggman, who has never held elected office. But after proclaiming, "If Jeff Denham can't reject Trump, we must reject him," the paper endorsed Mr. Eggman in an editorial that referred to Mr. Trump as a "dangerous demagogue."
Joseph Kieta, the paper's editor, said that Mr. Denham had been motivated by fear of political backlash more than his constituents' best interests.
"I cannot believe that he, in his heart of hearts, thinks that Donald Trump, who wants to deport Latinos, is good for his district," Mr. Kieta said.
"It exposed something about Denham that we didn't know before," he added.

Floppy Finger Predicament
This is not to be confused with fused phalanges. If students have floppy finger predicament, their hand shape will be curved but their finger joints will bend backward as they play the keys. This is extremely common in young students and even more so in students with long, slender fingers.
It is imperative that this is resolved as soon as possible on the piano journey and preferably before the student begins to use legato. It takes a lot of determination on the part of the student, teacher and parent to persist and develop the technique needed to create firm fingertips out of floppy ones. The prescriptions below will help ease this process, but you should still be prepared to be vigilant for quite some time.
Symptoms of the Floppy Fingertip Predicament
- A backward bend in the finger when a key is pressed down.
- Playing the key with the full top section of the finger.
- An inability to keep a round hand shape due to collapsing fingers.
Cure 1: The Bionic Pianist
In lesson
This solution will help your student to move her whole arm as one unit, thus avoiding pushing into each finger. If you suspect that the reason your student's finger joints are collapsing is because she is pushing unnecessarily into the key, this is a great way to change the way she moves and thinks about her arms and hands at the piano.
Give your student a pencil, preferably with an eraser on the end. Ask her to hold the pencil in her hand, eraser side down. This is her new "bionic hand". Tell her to play her piece using her bionic hand and encourage her to move her whole arm up and down to play each key. She shouldn't lock her wrist but it should be kept in a reasonably stable position making a straight line from her elbow to her knuckles.
Have her use the bionic hand to play one hand at a time first, and then hands together. After several repetitions using the bionic pencil hands, tell her she's going to try a new type of bionic hand now.
Help her make a closed hand shape with her thumb behind her second finger, supporting the joint (sometimes called a "braced finger" in piano method books). Instruct her to play her piece with this new bionic hand, keeping the same motion in her arms that she needed to play with the pencils. Repeat this several times, changing around the finger she supports with her thumb.
After she has tried out each finger in a bionic hand shape, she can open her hands out once more to play. Ask her to play her piece with regular fingering now, but imagining that a thumb is strengthening each finger, or that her fingers are as firm as a pencil. Don't rush her to play legato with her bionic hands but, if she does try it herself and manages to keep her fingertips firm, don't discourage her either.
At home
Assign practice of each of these stages, reducing the number of steps according to the amount of time your student has to practice each day. For example, if she has time for three repetitions she should do the first with bionic pencil hands, the second with bionic braced fingers (she can choose which finger) and the third with an open hand shape. Continue to assign this type of practice until the floppy finger predicament is cured, and reassign if it returns at any stage.
Cure 2: Tap Drills
In lesson
Isolating the action required to play the piano from the actual piano keys can really help students who are struggling to control that pesky top finger joint. You will have to be very persistent with this technique, and it's best if the parents are helping out at home too. Over time, though, the condition should improve and you will be able to rely on your student's firm fingertips.
Close the piano lid or move to a table and place your student's music in front of both of you. Hold your right hand over the hard surface and demonstrate by tapping down with your fingertip in a nice curved shape. Ask your student to copy you, and try out each finger. Correct her action as needed, explaining which part of the finger she should be tapping with and the right technique to use.
After warming up in this way with each hand, tap out your student's piece together. Tap the right hand first, then the left, and then hands together, all the time watching her hands for any collapsing fingers or odd techniques.
Once the 'Tap Drills' are completed, return to the keys and tell her to keep the same firm feeling in her fingertips that she had while tapping it out. If a finger does fall down, pause the playing and ask her to tap that finger on the fallboard or bench to "test" it, and then restart from that spot. Repeat the 'Tap Drills' before each and every piece.
At home
Assign 'Tap Drills' for each piece during the week and ask a parent to help with reminders if possible. You may need to assign fewer pieces due to the extra time it will take your student to practice each one, but it will be worth it if you can fix her floppy finger predicament. It's important that you follow through with this in the next lesson and continue to expect the 'Tap Drills' before each piece. Over time, your student will carry the process over to her home practice if she forms the habit during the lesson.

President Muhammadu Buhari is currently hosting top leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the South-west region to a dinner at the new Banquet Hall of the State House Villa, Abuja.
Before the commencement of the dinner holding behind closed doors, Mr Buhari called on the leadership of APC from the South-west to take the forthcoming governorship election in Ekiti State seriously.
He said APC needs to "have the last laugh" after the July 14, 2018 elections.
Kayode Fayemi defeated other contestants in the APC primary election that held on Saturday.
The party had to reschedule the election after the first primary ended in commotion.
Mr Buhari on Wednesday said he called for the dinner to "calm frayed nerves" and to appeal that APC members work together for the success of the party in the coming elections.
He said "Ekiti will ultimately benefit if the party wins."
Notable personalities at the dinner include the national leader of the APC and former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu; former Osun State governor, Bisi Akande; and the National Chairman of the APC, John Odigie-Oyegun.
Others include the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo; Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha; Segun Oni, the minister of mines; and Kayode Fayemi.
Governors at the meeting include Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun), Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo) and Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa State, who was the chairman of APC Ekiti governorship primary committee.
Some members of the National Assembly, ministers and other top APC leaders from the zone are also attending the dinner.
Before the dinner went into closed doors, it was announced that Messrs Fayemi and Tinubu will make brief remarks before the dinner, while Mr Odigie-Oyegun and the president will speak after the dinner.

New Media Pioneer Jeff Skonieczny of Imagine Echoes Blog
Q: How long have you been broadcasting?
Ironically, I've been blogging for exactly three years today.
Q: In your opinion, what does a good song need to consist of?
I believe a good song needs to display some form of true emotion. It's typically pretty easy to see when a band is truly pouring their heart and soul into what they are doing.Now the difference from a good song and a great song is, it needs to be fleshed out. It needs to be like a story, it needs a beginning, middle and end. The best songs are ones that have the ability to build up to a great climax, for instance songs like King Crimson's "Starless" and Pink Floyd's "Echoes". Lengthier songs seem to accomplish this with more ease, but plenty of shorter songs do this as well. But in the end, the most important characteristic of a song is for it to be true to itself, the band/artist must have a personal connection with what they're doing.
Q: What is your favorite band or favorite genre of music and why?
Pink Floyd would rank as my favorite band. They consistently threw new and creative things at their listeners and nearly every album turned out to be an amazing experience. Albums like Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here are practically flawless. David Gilmour's guitar work is so iconic and soulful, every note seems to carry as much weight as the previous. The song writing from the band is absolutely unforgettable, they had the ability to take the listener on a journey which surpassed just listening to the music. They were one of the few bands that made progressive rock more accessible, and they certainly helped to propel the genre to new heights.
Q: What changes in content laws, broadcasting rights, etc. have effected you most?
Personally I haven't run into any problems with the law when it comes to broadcasting my blog. Although I must say, I try to avoid posting samples of music in fear of infringing on the law.
Q: A recent study found blogs to be more effective than MySpace in generating album sales, do you feel that that is a true statement?
While I don't participate in social networking sites such as MySpace, I do believe it is a great thing for music. It allows for lesser known bands to get their music heard, and nothing is more important than that. On the other hand however, I can easily see how blogging has generated more album sales than MySpace. By creating hype around an album, people will take notice. Every band can have a MySpace, but not every band is lucky enough to have their music actually heard and critiqued. The most important thing for a band, other than their music, is to create some buzz, and to have people talking about their music, blogging is the ultimate source for just that.

Inspired by the real life story of the Peru Two
How does the seemingly innocent adventure of a summer spent in the party capital of the world spiral out of control and end locked up in a notoriously hard-core South American prison?
Mule is writer and director Kat Woods' third Edinburgh Fringe outing, critically-acclaimed for previous works, Belfast Boy and Wasted, she's back for 2016 by special invitation with her newest show at the prestigious Gilded Balloon.
What was the inspiration for this performance?
The inspiration can be broken into two parts for me. I can remember hearing about Michaella McCollum and Melissa Reid a few years back when they were first arrested. To be honest, I had read some rather nasty comments about the pair and it got me thinking.
Where as a people has our humanity gone? Why are we so quick to judge others? I have a younger sister, she is twelve years my junior and I have always felt a fierce sense of protection for her. These girls are more or less the same age as her. My gut feeling has always been that they made a mistake, albeit a huge mistake and maybe one that you or I would not make; however, it is a mistake and one that they will pay for for the rest of their lives.
The second half of my interest spiralled from the apparent lack of awareness for consequence on the girls behalf coupled with the looming 'femalisation' of the drug smuggling industry. Why these girls, what has happened to them how have they changed?
How did you go about gathering the team for it?
I really want to write here that I did something really cool like the Anchorman scene where Ron Burgundy shouts "Team assemble" and they all come running. Alas, I would just be calling myself as I write, direct and part produce!
I am an associate writer with Omnibus Theatre in London and have had my award winning play Belfast Boy on at their venue. I wanted somewhere to stage an early preview performance of 'Mule' so that I could get the script ship shape for the Ed Fringe. Basically, a show to see how bad it is, so that I can fix it in time for August!
The team at Omnibus Theatre have been fantastic, headed by Marie McCarthy with Diana Whitehead and Felicity Paterson. They have now come on board as producers, which is amazing. With Omnibus on board I was able to utilise valuable rehearsal space and cast the play. Mule is a two hander which showcases the wonderful talents of Edith Poor and Aoife Lennon. Both actresses have developed their roles and worked tremendously hard on the piece. I am very proud that they are a part of this work.
How did you become interested in making performance?
Sociology was actually my degree of choice when I finished my A Levels. Although, I have always been somewhat of a storyteller, it was never on the agenda at the all girls Roman Catholic Convent Grammar that I attended. Which is such a shame. It was an ex boyfriends mum who suggested that I study some type of Drama course. She scared me. So, I did a Drama degree. And that's how it all began! I initially trained as a Director but couldn't find anything that I wanted to direct so I decided to write for myself so that I could employee myself to direct!
Was your process typical of the way that you make a performance?
To put it simply, yes. For all my plays I like to write and re-write until I get it right! I guess because I try so hard to become a different person when directing its almost like I become the harshest critic. My own works worst enemy is actually me!
What do you hope that the audience will experience?
Mule is inspired by the events of The Peru Two. With any of my work I want the subject matter of this play to stay with the audience I want to educate those in a way that feels less lecture orientated. I want the audience, especially in this particular case, to think about their actions. Could that be your Sister, Brother, Mother etc...
What strategies did you consider towards shaping this audience experience?
I don't really consider strategies to shaping the audience experience, for me, that would feel contrived. I think the job of the writer or theatre maker is to let the work be what it is and speak for itself.
Do you see your work within any particular tradition?
I just want other people to see my work and hope that it breaks the current trend towards the tradition of watching reality TV!
I like to break down that forth wall, so maybe, not completely In Your Face but standing very close to ones face.
The story of the Peru Two first caught Irish-born writer Woods attention in 2013 when the girls hit the headlines and were vilified in the press. Recent developments in their case have pulled this timely play into sharp focus. Woods' vivid imagination skillfully weaves a cautionary tale of manipulation and betrayal - a must-see at Edinburgh Fringe 2016.

Where: Gilded Balloon, The Balcony
Time: 1.30pm, running time 55 mins

About Kat Woods
Kat Woods joined Omnibus' stable of Associate Writers in 2015.
Growing up on a council estate in Enniskillen, County Fermanah, Northern Ireland, and having had her fair share of adversity along the way, Woods says her background has undeniably shaped and informed her writing. She is drawn to narratives that reflect real life struggles.
Her authentic style has won her a string of awards and critical acclaim. Woods moved to London six years ago to study theatre directing, turning to writing when she couldn't find directing work that she was passionate about.

It was planned to be a rather uneventful day. Just the way I wanted my first day of summer vacation to be. After sleeping in, although not as late as I had expected to, I answered a quick phone call from a colleague at school to clarify a grade issue then I pulled on my sneakers and went for a walk in our neighborhood. The sun was warm but not too warm. I returned home, and after cooling down a bit, I made myself breakfast, a real breakfast of two eggs over easy, orange juice, a scoop of cottage cheese, and a peanut butter topped English muffin. This I ate outside as I watched my puppy Ziva enjoying her morning pouncing on ants and daisies.
I managed to clean the kitchen however and wanting to clear out my school bag, I spent some time scanning some old photographs I'd found in my classroom the day before. Posting the photos on Facebook brought about many comments from students I'd recently reconnected with and it also brought to my cyber door some other former students I'd lost touch with years ago. I found myself yelling their names outloud as I'd receive messages. "Bridget!! Andrea!! Caitlin!! Jamie!! Tiffany!! Megan!! Raelynn!! Jody!!" It's pretty amazing to find the years melting away with every little note from one of those special people from the past.
I took some time to sit in the sun, watching my puppy play close by, forever running over to me to make sure I would not leave her. I thought about bringing my book outside but then got awfully sleepy. Remembering I was now on vacation without a single thing planned for the day, I found my way back to my bedroom and I took a nap. Knowing I could indulge in an afternoon nap, falling asleep with a slight breeze coming in through my window, was heavenly.
Waking up a few hours later, my husband and I threw together some supper which we all enjoyed while watching a movie in the family room. Ziva managed to crawl up onto the couch and into my lap where she fell asleep and snored in my arms.
My uneventful day may have had no agenda, may have lacked any grand happening, but it was the day I'd needed, the day I had wanted, the day I dream of having all school year long. It was my first day of summer vacation, my first day of total freedom and relaxation, a day of peaceful appreciation for work that allows me this time in the sun, this time spent with loved ones, this time to breathe deeply. It appears it was, by no means, uneventful. For a day like today is quite consequential; it is as significant as the biggest of holidays; it is remarkable in its simplicity; it is everything I could have wanted it to be.

Starting a review by saying "It isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be..." is almost never a good sign. The Expendables may be that rare exception.
Heading into a midnight screening across the street from a college campus, I got an instant sense of the target market -- young men aged 20 to 35 traveling in packs with the rare girlfriend brought along for good measure. For this audience - hungry for action and desperate to see something cool- The Expendables was a perfect fit.
Not surprisingly, the story is pretty simple -- Sylvester Stallone (multitasking as star, writer and director) leads a pack of 'hired guns' into a small-scale ground war in a fictional Caribbean nation. And while most action flicks are content with one leading man, The Expendables throws the kitchen sink at you -- there is quite literally something for everyone.
British bad ass Jason Statham is the knife-chucking Lee Christmas, Stallone's loyal deputy. Along for the ride we've got Jet Li, Randy Couture, Terry Crews (yes, the Old Spice "talking muscles" guy), Mickey Rourke and believe it or not Ivan Drago himself, Dolph Lundgren. And of course, I can't forget the hysterical cameos by Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
There is no pretense of plot nor any attempt to speak to the realities of war - from the opening frames you know what you're getting: Guns! Guts! Bad Guys! Good Guys! and a lot of adrenaline! And if this was the goal, I salute Mr. Stallone on a mission very well accomplished! I found myself joining the crowd in cheering for each of our heroes as the bad guys found ever more creative ways to die. I too eagerly anticipated the next roundhouse kick or well thrown dagger.
If you enjoyed the latest Rambo... If you get excited every time you see that Rocky IV is on cable... Heck, if you've ever killed an hour watching videos on our Shock and Awe page -- then you will love this film.

I have always been troubled by dogmas that rule by guilt, fear and intimidation. Where is the free will that is the right of man? Is it freedom of choice if the threat of eternal damnation hangs over your head....or is it coercion? Does free will give us the right to question these dogmas? These dogmas require us to accept their explanations without question; require us to believe on faith rather than to accept an alternative line of thought, however logical or obvious. If we believe ourselves sentient creatures, should we deny ourselves the right to question our existence simply because such freedom of thought means exploring new concepts from a new perspective? Are the dogmas so hollow they cannot stand the weight of scrutiny without relying upon the support of proof by faith? Sentience brings curiosity and curiosity brings questions. It is these same questions that leads one to the path of understanding. Why then should they be feared?

FDC to Aquino III: Recover Income Tax Cuts from Payments for Illegitimate Debts and Fiscal Incentives to Investments
While we at the Freedom from Debt Coalition (FDC) welcome President Aquino III's stand against increasing the regressive Value-Added Tax, we are appalled at his reasoning against income tax cuts. He could have grabbed the opportunity to review and reduce the unjust tax burden on ordinary Filipinos, particularly the fixed-income earners, but his line of thinking immediately jumps to calculating possible revenue deficits and how this would affect the country's credit ratings.
Aquino III does not even bother to look at existing tax rates and tax brackets that have become passé considering today's higher cost of living compared to 1997 when the rates and brackets were last determined. He is worried over the P30 billion lost revenue if income taxes are lowered but he is at ease with billions of pesos of forgone revenues due to fiscal incentives given to private investors. Worse, he remains resolute with losing billions of pesos of taxpayers' money to service debts that are challenged as fraudulent, useless and/or wasteful.
Freedom From Debt Coalition
The Freedom from Debt Coalition (FDC) – Philippines is a nationwide multi-sectoral, non-sectarian and pluralist coalition conducting policy advocacy work and campaigns to realize a common framework and agenda for economic development.

High School
Performance Expectations: 2
HS-ETS1-2: Design a solution to a complex real-world problem by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable problems that can be solved through engineering.
HS-LS2-7: Design, evaluate, and refine a solution for reducing the impacts of human activities on the environment and biodiversity
Disciplinary Core Ideas: 5
HS-ETS1.A1:Criteria and constraints also include satisfying any requirements set by society, such as taking issues of risk mitigation into account, and they should be quantified to the extent possible and stated in such a way that one can tell if a given design meets them.
HS-ETS1.B1:When evaluating solutions, it is important to take into account a range of constraints, including cost, safety, reliability, and aesthetics, and to consider social, cultural, and environmental impacts.
HS-LS2.B2:Plants or algae form the lowest level of the food web. At each link upward in a food web, only a small fraction of the matter consumed at the lower level is transferred upward, to produce growth and release energy in cellular respiration at the higher level. Given this inefficiency, there are generally fewer organisms at higher levels of a food web. Some matter reacts to release energy for life functions, some matter is stored in newly made structures, and much is discarded. The chemical elements that make up the molecules of organisms pass through food webs and into and out of the atmosphere and soil, and they are combined and recombined in different ways. At each link in an ecosystem, matter and energy are conserved.
HS-LS2.B3:Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are important components of the carbon cycle, in which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere, atmosphere, oceans, and geosphere through chemical, physical, geological, and biological processes.
HS-PS3.D2:The main way that solar energy is captured and stored on Earth is through the complex chemical process known as photosynthesis.
Cross Cutting Concepts: 6
HS-C1.3:Patterns of performance of designed systems can be analyzed and interpreted to reengineer and improve the system.

If you sell/buy real estate in Ventura county and you don't use David Bartels and Help U Sell, then you're crazy. He literally saved me 42k dollars. He's the most honest and straight forward realtor I've ever worked with and he really knows his stuff. Thanks Dave!

Our two-year Research Master's programme focuses on the art and architecture of the Low Countries (present-day Netherlands and Belgium), and spans the period from the late Middle Ages to the present day. You will study Netherlandish art and architecture, taking into account their international context. We invite you to critically reflect on the production of art and architecture, and the role of patronage; investigate the reasons why so many artist went abroad and how they became agents in the international diffusion of styles and themes; and explore how artworks testify to the Dutch encounter with the wider world from the Golden Age to the present day. Furthermore, the programme will acquaint you with the innovative approaches of global, technical, and digital art history. In the end, we hope you will imagine new possibilities for the field of art history of the Low Countries.
You will also have the opportunity to study other specific subjects that align with your own personal interests. Our close ties with major art museums and other cultural organisations both in the Netherlands and abroad mean that the academic and practical work are closely linked.
Dutch students will spend a semester in a major art museum abroad while students from other countries intern at a major Dutch or Flemish art museum. You may also wish to study at another university for one semester. To date, our students have undertaken placements at approximately twenty institutions in eight different countries. Whatever your choice, your internship or study abroad will be tailored to your own individual interests.
The Research Master's programme in Art History of the Low Countries will prepare you for further research by specialising in the art and architecture of the Low Countries. Many graduates have gone on to undertake PhD programmes in the Netherlands or abroad. To name just a few examples, alumni are currently doctoral candidates at KU Leuven, University of Ghent, Paris Sorbonne University, LMU Munich, Goethe University Frankfurt, Utrecht University, University of Amsterdam, and a number of universities in the United States, including Princeton University, Harvard University, and Columbia University.
Graduates can also apply for curatorial positions requiring specialist skills in art history at museums and research institutes.

Attorneys Dell & Schaefer, Chartered is a nationwide law firm dedicated exclusively to disability insurance. We have represented thousands of disabled claimants with their claims for either short term disability, long term disability, or long-term care benefits against every major disability insurance company. Our law firm has a national reputation in the field of disability insurance law and we have received the highest level of recognition from the nation's leading legal peer review services.
We represent claimants at all stages of a claim for disability income benefits, which includes the disability application process, monthly claim handling, denial of disability benefits, ERISA appeals, lawsuits to recover disability benefits and lump sum policy buyouts for individuals that are currently being paid disability income benefits.
We always offer a free consultation.
Whether it's a claim denial, application, or continuance of claim, it is our job to protect our client's monthly benefits and prevent the insurance company from wrongfully denying or delaying benefits. Our attorneys focus on two goals: to enforce our client's contractual rights and obtain maximum disability benefits. We only represent claimants — never insurance companies — and we have the experience, skills, talent, nationwide reputation, and financial resources to go up against any insurance company.

My experience is as such, I suffer from a variety of mental health issues the biggest being severe PTSD. When I had lost all hope the Good Lord guided my to Dell and Schaefer. My assigned Lawyer, Stephen Jessup, was the most understanding and compassionate human being I had come across sense my breakdown. He not only guided me legally but his kind words and understanding helped me spiritually as well. His co-worker Sonia was a heaven send as well. Her kind words and prompt responses were amazing. Both Stephen and Sonia will never understand how blessed I am that they came in to my life at my darkest hour. Their work ethic and rigorous efforts towards my case gave me not only a win but it gave me Justice and at the end of the day that's all I wanted. I went in to this case with legal counsel and I left this with great friends. I was always informed, spoken to with the utmost respect and sincere compassion. If you are reading this review and are suffering from mental health issues as severe as mine you will understand completely when I say not only did they win my case but they saved my life. God bless you all at the Dell and Schaefer family. You have not only given me Justice but you have also given me hope! Thank you
Rachel Alters and her paralegal, Sonia R. Nogueira, made dealing with the insurance companies almost like a walk in the park! They kept me informed whenever the ins companies needed something and we worked out the most efficient means of getting it done. What made working with Ms. Alters and Sonia a dream was their ability to make me feel that I was a SPECIAL client of theirs - and I am well aware that I was not. But seriously, when working with Sonia when trying to get the correct Social Security disability award info to Lincoln she never once made it seem that it was a bothersome inconvenience to her. She was just great at all times and Ms. Alters, and Dell & Schaefer, should be very proud to have her on board.
I would recommend Dell & Schaefer - Ms. Alters and Sonia to anyone needed to find a resolution to their situation. I found them to be compassionate and fair. I was recommended to Dell & Schaefer via another attorney. I was not sure of what the process would require of me at the time. I was hesitant to follow through because of my disruption in communicating skills and the frustration of dealing with the insurance company on my own. Ms. Alters and Sonia Nogueira are so very understanding and companionate though working diligently to resolve my issue. I felt as if they had my best interest at heart. I appreciated the continual communication and explaining of the process and where it could possibly go. I would highly recommend this firm, Ms. Alters and her team to anyone who feels they have done all they could do, because as I found there was a lot more that this talented firm accomplished.
Gregory Dell has represented me for over ten years now, and he has been an Absolute Godsend!!! True to his original promise, he has gone above and beyond from the beginning to fight for me and protect me from insurance company approval delays and potential harassment, in order to get me the maximum disability benefits to which I am entitled....Stress and worry-free!!! Now I can focus on my health.
The best decision I ever made about my disability claim! After 27+ yrs. of practice I was now faced with what is one of the most difficult and life-changing situations of my life. As a professional myself, their expertise, knowledge, and professionalism are unsurpassed. When something like this happens there's nothing better than having the best attorneys in the business working for you and watching your back.
I've been a client for about 2 years, if I could give this firm 10 stars I would! I am working with Cesar and Michal. Yes, they won my case. Yes, they are 100% knowledgeable, capable, efficient and organized. My experience has been so much more than a transactional relationship. They treat you like family, and truly have your best interest at heart. The genuine care and compassion I received was completely unexpected when I first became a client. I didn't realize attorneys were so kind. This level of service has remained for the past 2 years. Any question or concern I have had, each person takes the time to explain everything until I feel comfortable. Being a person with disabilities and needing extra attention in certain areas does not stop them from exhibiting patience with me. I never feel rushed or feel like my issues are not valid. To me, having someone on my side I can trust and who's heart is in the right place is important. Don't hesitate, hire this firm today, you won't regret it!
My experience has been outstanding. Every aspect of my experience has been perfect. From the moment I contacted Dell and Schaefer and made that first telephone call, I felt confident that I chose the right firm. Dell and Schaefer is the Best.I hope more businesses aspire to be like Dell and Schaefer
Dont get bullied by your disability insurance company. Dell and Schaefer got me back on claim and I coukdnt not have done it with their expertise.
I appreciated the attentiveness of the staff and I was very satisfied with my settlement.
Nobody wants to file for disability insurance and I read so many bad stories about disability insurance companies. Working with Greg Dell and Cesar Gavidia at Dell & Schaefer was a very enjoyable experience. They took away all of my anxiety about the claim process and they have handled everything perfectly. Thank you guys!
Greg Dell has been my attorney for more than 15 years and I could not have handled my long term disability insurance claim without him. The disability company is constantly asking for things and the law firm does a great job at managing the entire claim and keeping me calm!!! When my claim was denied I hired Dell & Schaefer and they were able to get my benefits reinstated. Greg and his team continue to handle my claim and I am thankful for that.
If you want peace of mind and the assurance that a Dell & Schaefer Attorney has your back. I cannot thank Dell & Schaefer enough for how they have cared for me. You will never feel alone with this firm. They make you feel that you are number one.
My experience with Dell & Schaefer was really good. I submitted an online request on their website and attorney Gregory Dell responded immediately. He listened to my issues and from that day on he did everything he said he would do. It was important to me that he always responded to all my calls and completed things for me in the time frame promised. I am thankful that I had Greg as a lawyer and I would not hesitate to work with again if ever needed.
After working for AT&T for 30 plus years my neck pain became unbearable. I tried to file for disability benefits on my own and I was denied. I wish I had hired Greg Dell before I was disabled. Once Greg took over my claim he spent several months to prepare a great Appeal. Within 45 days of the appeal being submitted, the disability company reversed their denial and my long term disability benefits were approved. WIthout Greg my benefits would never have been approved. I am happy to recommend Attorneys Dell & Schaefer.
I have been extremely impressed with the Law Firm of Dell & Schaefer. I submitted a form online and was contacted immediately by Mr. Jay Symonds. I explained my disability and the issues I was experiencing with my Long Term Disability Insurance and Mr. Symonds immediately confirmed why Dell & Schaefer was the perfect choice for me. I explained my situation and what I had experienced with LTD and Mr. Symonds immediately shared with me what he could do for me and for the first time in months, I felt at ease with what I was going through. Mr. Symonds immediately contacted the insurance company and was able to achieve in 1 day what I hadn't been able to achieve in Months!! To say that Mr Symonds was my guardian angel would be an understatement. His knowledge and expertise enabled me to focus on the treatment that I needed. His staff was always very friendly and my questions were always answered in a timely manner. Throughout this journey, Mr. Symonds and his staff have become like family to me with their support and compassion. Mr. Symonds and Sonia Nogueira have shown empathy, respect and concern for my medical condition. It was refreshing to see my team of Legal Experts take immediate action when the Insurance Company continued to try and bypass the process. I could not have found a better team to represent me and I will always be thankful for their knowledge and expertise. I have nothing but tremendous respect for the office staff employed at the firm of Dell & Schaefer. Sonia always ensured my calls and emails were returned in a timely manner and were always available to answer any questions I might have. When you receive an answer to your questions on a weekend, you know you have made the right choice!!
I was a police officer for over 14 years with the same agency. I was hurt on duty and suffered career-ending injuries. I applied for long term disability and was approved but after two years I was denied based on the verbiage in the policy. My family was without any income coming in and I couldn't believe I was in this situation. I came across a video online with Gregory Dell and Stephen Jessup speaking about this very issue. I called Dell & Schaefer and they immediately started working on my case. Steven Jessup worked on my appeal letter and within six weeks of submitting the appeal letter the denial was reversed. Every team member that I had contact with was so helpful and so professional. Gregory Dell and Stephen Jessup treated me with civility and respect like I've never experienced. I have a bad habit of thinking of questions late at night or on the weekends. When I thought of a question I would send it in an email and I would always get a response within the hour no matter the time or day. I thank God for guiding me to Dell & Schaefer and I thank Dell & Schaefer for their knowledge and experience.
With 10 years experience with working with Dell and Schaefer, taking that step to call Attorney Dell and Schaefer was one of the best professional and personal decisions I have ever made. Words can only scratch the surface regarding my experience working with Dell and Schaefer. It's a very emotional experience making the decision to utilize disability insurance. The unknowns were/are scary. From the very first phone call, the support staff was/are very professional and reassuring. I have been working with Attorney Steven Dell for approximately 10 years. He is confident, reassuring, listens to and addresses all my concern, and is extremely dilligent in understanding my specific policies for how they impact me. It is very reassuring that Steven handles and deals with the insurance company on my behalf. Attorney Dell's team, and specifically Merlin, Attorney Dell's assistant, is simply fantastic. Her professionalism and attention to detail have made all my communications with the office seamless. Simply put, my experience with Dell and Schaefer made the emotional rollercoaster experience of my neck surgery seem like a walk in the park. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, to both Attorney Steven Dell and to Merlin for how you have helped me over these past 10 years. Dilligence, Reassurance, Professionalism at every step, Confidence, Results.
Discovering you are disabled and no longer able to do a job you love or do any work at all is quite traumatic. During this confusing time, it is invaluable to have someone navigate the path towards receiving your disability benefits. Greg Dell of Dell and Schaefer provided me with this much needed assistance. His experience was obvious in his approach to putting together the claim and the questions he asked about my job and medical issues. My emails were answered promptly and telephone conferences made it feel as if I had hired an attorney from my city rather than a few states away. Had I handled the claim personally or through a less experienced attorney, I am confident the outcome would not have been as positive. In the course of my professional career, there are few individuals I could recommend as strongly as I do Greg Dell of Dell and Schaefer. He will expertly guide you through the disability claim process.

It wasn't going to be routine, exactly, given the controversy over the details of a separation agreement with former Minneapolis Chief Janeé Harteau. But once Mayor Betsy Hodges agreed to remove a clause that prevented pretty much everybody who could even possibly be involved (including all past and future mayors) from trash talking one another — you'd think it should have been easier.
But no.
At a Wednesday meeting of the city's Executive Committee — made up of Hodges and four members of the City Council — the mayor asked that the $182,876 settlement with Harteau be sent to the council's Ways and Means Committee without the nondisparagement clause.
That, from their public comments anyway, appeared to be what a majority of council members want to happen. Once that occured, after all, the separation agreement would become a routine matter: Harteau will get paid until the end of her term in early 2019. In exchange, she would agree not to sue the city over her dismissal.
But Council President Barbara Johnson, a member of the Executive Committee, made a different motion. She wanted the original agreement, including the hated clause, to go to the full council. Not because she favors it, but because she doesn't like the way it was handled — and wants the entire council to be able to weigh in.
"I fully intend that council will eventually take this out," Johnson said. "But I feel the City Council was pulled into this agreement. The nondisparagement clause includes council members, and so we were pulled into this without any input whatsoever."
"I think it is important that council members have the opportunity to discuss it," she continued.
Hodges spoke against Johnson's motion, saying the council would be free to debate and discuss the nondisparagement clause whether it was in the language sent to Ways and Means or not.
But Johnson said since the council was implicated without its consent, it should be the body to remove the clause, not the Executive Committee.
Johnson's motion failed on a tie vote with Council Member Kevin Reich joining Johnson and Council Member Cam Gordon joining Hodges. The fifth member of the committee, Council Vice President Elizabeth Glidden, was absent from the meeting.
When a motion to send the agreement to council minus the nondisparagement clause came to a vote, Reich joined the mayor and Gordon in voting yes. But Johnson continued to vote no. Hodges then praised Harteau's service and noted that the agreement includes a positive letter of recommendation for the former chief.
The clause itself was controversial enough. Some council members — as well as Hodges' challengers in this year's mayoral election — thought it unwise to prevent the chief from talking freely about what has been going on in the department. (The clause would have allowed everyone to talk freely if testifying in court or by subpoena or as required by law, however.) That was especially true in the midst of the investigation into the shooting death of Justine Damond by a Minneapolis police officer.
But how it ended up in the agreement made it even more troublesome for some on the council. While it initially appeared that the nondisparagement clause was wanted by the former chief, Harteau later said it had not been her idea. In response to the complaints, Hodges acknowledged that the clause had been her idea, but that she was "happy" to remove it.
The backstory is what led Reich to vote as he did Tuesday. He said he supports Harteau and the job she did as chief and was willing to consider the nondisparagement clause if it had been something she wanted. When he learned it was the mayor, not the chief, who had pushed the clause, he wanted it removed. "My motivation to even consider it was dead," Reich said.
He said that while he preferred to have the full council remove it rather than the Executive Committee, when Johnson's motion failed he decided it was best to move the matter along. "That disparagement agreement needed to go, so that's why I was happy to move it on to council," he said.
But he also said council members will fully discuss the clause — even though it will not be part of the agreement that reaches them.
