Barclays breaks at blackest time for masters of universe
The news from Barclays gets more serious by the hour, and will have profound repercussions for the global banking industry, as well as for the region. It comes at the worst possible time for the world's financial industry.
Until now, the 300-year old British bank was generally held to have had a pretty good crisis. Of course it was affected by the turmoil in global markets that began in 2008 and is still blowing around the world today.
But it came through the credit crisis without having to seek a government bailout, unlike many others. In fact, it got itself some pretty solid new investors from the Middle East. And it picked up the remnants of the collapsed Lehman Brothers business in North America for a song.
The bank's strategists, led by the chairman Marcus Agiusand the chief executive Bob Diamond, were cheered by investors for the manner in which they picked their way through the wreckage of 2008-2009.
Now, both have quit the bank in a scandal that looks certain to have long-term consequences for Barclays, as well as some other leading names in global banking.
A government-forced dismemberment of the bank in the United Kingdom would have been unthinkable just a week ago. Now it is full-square on the agenda.
Regulators in London, as well as in the United States, found after a five-year investigation that traders at Barclays were guilty of manipulating the London interbank offered rate (Libor) for their own benefit.
Libor may sound like a quaintly British institution: a group of bankers getting together over cups of tea to decide what to charge people for borrowing. In fact, it is the main instrument that decides the global cost of capital.
It is used by all the big banks to set interest rates on a wide range of products, from mortgages and credit cards to corporate lending, through to gigantic trades in the credit markets.
Libor is used as the basic reference for transactions of financial products amounting to a mind-boggling US$350 trillion.
What especially annoyed the regulators - who slapped a $450 million (Dh1.65 billion) fine on the bank as settlement of its investigation - is that this price fixing was going on in the teeth of a financial crisis, which was supposed to herald a new regime of transparency and accountability on the part of financial professionals.
The Libor scandal is taken as proof that no such change of heart is possible in the banking profession, and that only root-and-branch surgery will force bankers to work within the rule of law, and of morality.
At Barclays, there is the increasing likelihood of a criminal investigation into the affair, asking all the usual questions: who knew what, when and how far up the organisation did this knowledge go?
But it is not just a Barclays affair. At least 20 banks on three continents have received subpoenas relating to Libor manipulation, with American regulators leading the way. There is no point in naming names: every global bank is involved in some way or other.
The climate for the world's financial industry was tough enough before the Libor scandal broke last week. Liquidity and credit remained tight everywhere on persistent worries about the economic recovery.
The travails of the European banks were already well known, with Spanish and Italian banks winning a surprising reprieve from the Germans just days ago. All those difficulties are going to be aggravated by the Barclays scandal.
For the Arabian Gulf, there are several immediate implications, none of which makes a banker's life here any easier. The 6.8 per cent stake held by Qatar, one of the Gulf institutions that bought shares in Barclays in 2008, is worth a lot less than it was just a week ago.
Conversely, Abu Dhabi's decision to sell down its holding (acquired at the same time as Qatar's) for a $1.5bn profit now looks like sensible prudent trading. But Barclays retains a key role in UAE retail, corporate and investment banking. Its problems make restructuring and project finance all the more difficult in the Emirates.
Just when it looked as though it couldn't get any worse for the "masters of the universe", they could be facing their most serious crisis since the Lehman Brothers disaster broke.

Democratic attorneys general in New York and Massachusetts refused Wednesday to comply with a congressional subpoena demanding they disclose information related to their investigation into ExxonMobil's climate research.
New York AG Eric Schneiderman and Maura Healey, of Massachusetts, have vowed to deny GOP Texas Rep. Lamar Smith's communications related to their probes. The Texas Republican has worked for several months forcing the AGs to be more forthcoming about their investigations.
"Congressional subpoenas are not immune from court review, and we are considering all of our legal options should the committee continue to proceed with these unprecedented subpoenas that seek clearly privileged and law enforcement protected information and communications," a source at the New York attorney general's office told reporters.
They were joined by a coalition of 15 other state attorneys general. AGs from California, Maryland, and others, asked Smith to rescind the subpoenas, arguing his "unprecedented subpoenas exceed your Committee's constitutional authority" and "impermissibly intrudes on the lawful authority of the attorneys general to conduct investigations."
California AG Xavier Becerra was among those requesting the Texas representative to lay off Schneiderman and Healey.
Environmentalists have pushed the newly-elected attorney general into joining the hit-parade against Exxon, a company activists say has hid knowledge about global warming from investors.
Journalists have had a field day blasting Exxon after a series of campaigns conducted by InsideClimate News (ICN) found the company had allegedly played fast and loose with information concerning global warming.

In the Metaphysics of Morals, Kant explains that moral anthropology studies the "subjective conditions in human nature that help or hinder [people] in fulfilling the laws of a metaphysics of morals" and insists that such anthropology "cannot be dispensed with" (6:217).1 But it is often difficult to find clear evidence of this sort of anthropology in Kant's own works. In this paper, I discuss Kant's account of character as an example of Kantian moral anthropology.
Kant's account of character is one of the most important parts of his Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View.2 Kant describes the character of the person, in particular, as the "distinguishing mark of the human being as a rational being endowed with freedom" and says that character "indicates what the human being is prepared to make of himself" (7:285). Recently, Kant commentators have gone even further. G. Felicitas Munzel, for example, claims that character is "the systematic link between the moral, aesthetic, and anthropological elements of Kant's works."3 This paper will not investigate the full richness of Kant's account of character. Instead, I focus on one particular problem that arises in Kant's discussion of character—an apparent conflict between the moral relevance of character and the possibility of evil character. By showing why there is an apparent conflict and why it is merely apparent, I show some of the ways in which a particular subjective condition in human nature can help, but not force, people to fulfill the laws of a metaphysics of morals. [End Page 623]
1. The Problem: Moral Character and the Case of Sulla
When Kant introduces character in the Anthropology, he distinguishes between the character of the person, of the sex, of the nation, of the race, and of the species. Even within the character of the person, he distinguishes between "natural aptitude," "temperament," and "character purely and simply," all of which are different kinds of individual character. But only the last—the "character purely and simply"4 of a person—"is moral" and "shows what man is prepared to make of himself" (7:285).5 This paper focuses only on that general, moral character.
At first, Kant seems to describe general character as morally good. Twice in his opening discussion of character, Kant describes "character" (Charakter) as "moral" (moralische) (7:285), and he insists that "character has an inner worth, and is beyond all price" (7:292). Though not decisive, these comments suggest that one with character has a good will. But Kant goes further, adding that the person with character "relies on principles that are valid for everyone" (7:293). This reference to universally valid principles is picked up later in a way that highlights its moral goodness.
For character requires maxims that proceed from reason and morally-practical principles. Therefore one cannot rightly say that the malice of this human being is a quality of his character; for then it would be diabolic. The human being, however, never sanctions the evil in himself, and so there is actually no malice from principles; but only from the forsaking of them.(7:293–94)
It seems that Kant could not be more explicit. Character seems to involve acting on the basis of principles that conform to and even flow from "morally-practical principles," which he seems to distinguish from anything evil. This seems quite close to Kant's account of the good will as a will "whose principle is the categorical imperative" (4:444). (Although Kant's precise account of the good will is complicated, for our purposes here it is sufficient to define a good will as a will that consistently acts out of respect for the moral law.6) To have character, it would seem, is to have a good will.
But this apparent identification of character with good character does not fit the rest of...

About a week ago, I had an experience that showed me, again, that even the most innocuous of government monopolies is still a bad thing.
Out wandering the wastelands on the edge of town with my daughter I found an old Zippo lighter. Being obsessed with fire starting methods/tools, I kept it. The cap was missing and the "wheel" was rusted in place, but I know Zippo repairs or replaces their lighters for free, "forever".
When I got home I went online and found the address for the Zippo Repair Clinic, packed up the old lighter, and headed off to the local post office.
The clerk took the package and asked the standard "anything hazardous, fragile, or flammable?" question, to which I replied "no".
She held it carefully, looked at it suspiciously, and said "It says 'Zippo', what's in here?"
I said it is a broken lighter.
She looked shocked and said "You can't mail lighters!"
I said that I followed the packaging instructions on the Zippo site (and why would they even have a mailing address at all if you couldn't mail anything to them?), and I had mailed lighter to them before.
"They might still have residue!"
"No, this one was very, very dry. I've mailed them before."
"You just didn't get caught that time" (paraphrased- my attention was slipping)
She pulled out a full-color, government brochure detailing all the things the government has arbitrarily declared to be "dangerous" to mail (which UPS and FedEx can still mail, I suppose).
By this time I wasn't really listening anymore, but was trying to figure out how I was getting this to UPS or FedEx. But she kept lecturing for a bit anyway.
So, I left the post office with my package, and as the "proud" owner of a full color, government brochure (slightly used)… had an idea, and went a few blocks, across the state line, and mailed my package without incident from New Mexico.
Zippo emailed me to confirm receipt of the lighter, so I emailed them back to inform them that according to this officious postal clerk, mailing their lighters, under any circumstances, is a serious crime.
I guess it's a good thing I'm already an outlaw.

i have only one hub. it was unpublished . i posts 5 posts . notification says not passed the quality assessment. but i don't know what i have to do. i offer original content.
i knew that i have to post 5 featured posts. what is a featured post ?
also, do i have to create 5 hubs to get my 1st hub published ?
i am lost in the huge amount of information offered on the website. please tell me exactly what do i have to do?
Welcome to HubPages. This site is looking for high-quality, grammatically correct, articles filled with information that people are searching for now and will continue to do in the future.
I would recommend that first you focus on your grammar. I haven't looked at your profile or your hub, but looking at this forum post, there are two big mistakes. First, there are no capital letters in the title. The first letter of each word should be capitalized in the title. Secondly, in the post, you did not capitalize the 'i". When you are referring to yourself, you should always capitalize the I.
The Learning Center articles may be of some help to you.
Thanks for answering my question.
I will pay more attention to that.
Could you take a look at my profile and give me more notes?
Thanks for the information here. I am so new, and I need all I can learn to get started. If you can kindly assist me in any way, in terms of rules and tips, that will be highly appreciated. Thanks again.
You obviously are a second language speaker, and it shows in your sentence structure and grammar. To be featured, an article must be correctly written, full of original content, have good, clear, appropriate photos that are properly accredited and pass other tests.
I strongly suggest you take some English grammar classes so that you can improve your writing skills if you wish to do well here.
I need that for sure. From my experience, it requires more than taking a grammar class. A short cut would be to find a native-speaker who can edit my articles before I post them. What do you think about this solution? Where can I find a native-speaker who can offer his help for free?
For online editing take a look at grammarly, Hemingway Editor, and ProWritingAid. Grammarly is free to my understanding. Hemingway Editor you can use online and they have a desktop application too at a nominal cost. ProWritingAid you can copy/paste to it online. I am not sure if trial basis on or not. They have a application download at a small cost with different software options. For instance I downloaded it as an application in Microsoft Word. I wrote an article about it seen at my profile. Hope that helps with options for learning purposes.
Notation: I plan to rewrite that Hub. I have learned it should follow closer to a Stellar Hub described at HubPages Learning Center. Plus, it will be a new opportunity to use that editing tool to learn from.
You have offered me great tools. Thanks a lot
I hope those discoveries offer more explorations on your adventure with writing. I use ProWritingAid today and have learned a lot and continue learning each time. In other words I am being trained as a writer using it.
You won't. Editing is tedious, difficult work and nobody will do it for free. There are no shortcuts when it comes to learning or improving your skills with a second language.
The people here are writers, not teachers. We are happy to give you little tips, etc., but editing work written by someone whose skills need major upgrading is far beyond anything anybody here might be willing to do.
You have stated several times that you know your skills need work, but that you are frustrated because you don't want that fact to stand in the way of you being able to express yourself.
That is a very unrealistic view for you to take because you've got things backwards. FIRST you learn what you need to know and THEN you use that knowledge to communicate your thoughts and feelings.
If you are unwilling or unable to do this, you might better find a site that will accept work in your own language and write there.
I edited the Articles. Got unpublished. What to do now? Will i have my hub published after posting more articles? What was your experience? Were your first five articles feachered articles?
What type of hub do you try to published? I write hubs based on my interests. Try writing something more informative articles or just be yourself, write things that interest you the most. (Just a piece of advice.)
Here is a little correction for you.
You have offered me great tools, thanks a lot.
I recommend using the free version of Grammarly. You can install it as an extension on Chrome.
Before you know it, you'll get the hang of it.
Guys, how many articles had you posted before featuring your hub ?
I know it is not the number of articles. It is the quality of each one.
What happened in your case?
I don't think there is any requirement in the terms of how many articles you need to post before you get a Featured Article. It most definitely depends on the quality.
In my case my first article got featured. So far I have written 18 articles and all of them are featured.

Gridgen Diehard Gives Pointwise an A+
Dr. Greg D. Power
As a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) practitioner and researcher, I have been using the Gridgen mesh generator for more than 30 years, starting before Pointwise, Inc. was formed. I have been hesitant to switch to the Pointwise software due to my familiarity with Gridgen, but I knew that I was missing out on some great features. I just didn't feel that I had the time to learn a new, seemingly very different mesh generator.
In the fall of 2012, I began teaching a course focused on introducing students to the CFD application process at the University of Tennessee Space Institute and the Knoxville campus of UT via a remote video feed. Although I had used Gridgen for nearly my entire career, I wanted to expose the students to the latest grid generation technology, so I took this opportunity to teach myself how to use Pointwise as well.
Jan Batts at Pointwise worked with me to establish a Pointwise Teaching Partnership that allowed the use of 10 free licenses for my students. Carolyn Dear Woeber provided a PDF tutorial and example cases. The tutorial and example cases allowed me to quickly learn all of the basic steps for structured and unstructured mesh generation so that I could stay just ahead of the class. (I believe at least some of the students were fooled into thinking I was an expert Pointwise user.)
The students picked up the concepts of Pointwise very quickly, especially since they did not have a Gridgen mindset as I did. However, even with the Gridgen mindset, the Pointwise user interface proved to be very easy to master. Features such as easily picking entities graphically and masking entities sped up the process. Each student would find tricks and shortcuts that were shared with the other students and myself. By the end of the class all of the students were generating meshes on complex geometries with very little help from me. In fact, I often found that I was learning as much from the students as they were from me.
Figure 1: A collage of grids generated by UTSI students
I also chose to use an open source CFD code, the Stanford University Unstructured code (SU2), as the teaching tool for running applications. I was pleased to discover that Pointwise already had a capability to export the CAE data for SU2. This capability allowed a much more seamless process for the students so that I could focus on teaching the basics of CFD. Each of the students was required to complete a project. These included everything from rocket facilities to formula cars.
I chose my own project for the class that would be a complement to a local science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) outreach program. The STEM program used a small wind tunnel that contained an airfoil and a smoke generation system. I was able to model the airfoil in the wind tunnel and create a Pointwise script, including a graphical interface, to change the airfoil angle of attack, viscous spacing, etc. and regenerate the grid with a click of a button. I was able to then run a number of these cases with SU2 and present these results to a local high school calculus class as the students observed the smoke trails in the actual tunnel.
Needless to say the graduate students learned a lot about the CFD process, and maybe I was able to influence a few high school students to pursue CFD as part of their career. As a bonus, I am now using Pointwise exclusively for my day job!
Pointwise Teaching Partnership
Bring Pointwise into your classroom so you and your students can benefit from a fully-functional, fully-support CFD mesh generator. When you purchase a two-process license at the discounted academic price, you qualify for the Pointwise Teaching Parternship and 10 additional licenses for class or lab use at no extra price.

Bhaskar chose to go to college at an American university, where he received a degree in Business Administration. In 2000, he founded the Basu Corporation with his parents. As the business grew, Bhaskar got more involved in trend research and design.
Today, Roma and Bhaskar work as a team and have succeeded in bringing original designs, capturing the fashion of the season as well as the lifestyle of the people who wear Anuschka® bags.

Warnock is available from Villa after his loan with Bolton Wanderers came to an end.
When asked if signing a left-back would be a possibility, Allardyce said: "Yes it would be. One of my priorities would be a left back if there is one possible for us to bring in."

Two officials face music over killing of taxi boss
TWO senior officials of an Alexandra, Johannesburg, taxi association - including treasurer Sonto Shabalala - are to appear in court today for the murder of the organisation's chairman.
Shabalala and her colleague at the Alexandra Taxi Association, secretary Tebogo Molebatsi, are expected to appear at the Wynburg Magistrate's Court with five other suspects for the murder of chairman, Mike Yende.
Gauteng Police spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Lungile Dlamini yesterday confirmed the court appearance.
He said police raided a house in Bez Valley, eastern Joburg, on the trail of two suspects but instead found people manufacturing fake DVDs and CDs. They immediately took the two men into custody.
Sowetan can also disclose that one of the alleged hitmen is Petrus Sithole, who was arrested in Ladysmith, KwaZulu-Natal, on May 1.
The Alex officials, Simiso Simelane, Zamani Madondo, Bheki Themba Zokwe, Mbongeleni Sithole were nabbed on May 4.
"But one of them was handed over to the court on May 7 by their lawyer," said Dlamini.
Yende was gunned down at the offices of the association in March after a meeting at about 5.30pm.
Also at the scene outside the office was his brother Fani and an official from the Gauteng transport department.
"It happened so quickly I could not even see if it was two people or more who shot him," said the brother.
"They bolted away from the scene before any of us could see them clearly."
Yende's killing angered Gauteng transport MEC Ishmael Vadi because he was considered a peacemaker in the volatile industry.
The arrest of Shabalala and Molebatsi has baffled colleagues because they worked closely with Yende.

This is part FIVE, and the last, in my week-long series on Jewish Orthodox Weddings. Links to parts: one, two, three and four.
This is the last post. For now.
Thank you so, so much to everyone that has been following and reading these threads. I have never gotten so immensely personal in my blog before and I've always felt there wasn't anyone listening so it's been so uplifting hearing from people. One of the consistencies in the responses that I've had from my Jewish friends lies in storytelling which is something I am ALL about. I've received stories/anecdotes from several people (many involving the Rebbe) and it's been truly remarkable. Keep them coming, they are a source of inspiration and wonderment for me.
One thing that I had hoped for in posting the personal stories of the people I've met is that I want everyone to become real. I want empathy built in the same way it was built for me. When we find ways to relate to each other, compassion and tolerance often follows (hopefully). I was once "afraid" to talk to anyone Orthodox. So many questions and "myths" in my head fed much of that fear.
You never know where the road will lead you if you remain open to what, or who, has been standing in front of your face this whole time. Turn around from facing the corner and look around at the great space behind you. If nothing else I hope that at least one person out there may be less afraid to engage their neighbor in conversation today.
Before I close this off, there is one other person who is very special to me that I want to bring (back) into the picture. I feel so ingrained in her life and family that I really wanted to give back a way that I think many will appreciate.. with storytelling. But this will be visual storytelling, I'm much better with images than words.
And I think if I start writing I may get lost because she's no longer living nearby and that will make me sad.
Remember Chanie? She told me at a wedding when we first met that I was going to be her wedding photographer. She just had to find the guy first.
Then Chanie met Uli.
She has great taste:
This has always been a favorite:
I love this image because Uli looks like a movie star with all the girls photographing him during his public introduction!
And then I had another new experience! A Lag BaOmer wedding! (To learn of Lag BaOmer go here: LagBaOmer).
The below image is one of my favorite wedding images I've ever taken. Everything is lined up perfectly, every important person is clearly seen. I see the feelings I have during the bedeken, the moment the bride and groom see each other finally, the loving looks of the parents, the excitement of the guests gathered around, the hands conveying care to each other. The son/brother on the left smiling to his mother as she grabs his arm in a flurry of emotions a mom would have on this day. And the strength the bride's mom gives to her daughter as she holds the veil on her head.
The moment when that veil comes off and they can look at each other, as husband and wife. I love this moment.
And this is one my favorite moments from the entire wedding day. I will never forget this moment. Driving to their portrait session, Uli looks over at Chanie with a look of pure wonderment. He is married, this is his wife. He is embarking on a new life on this day. I will never know what was in his head that day, but these are things that I saw in this expression on his face.
Below photograph by Steven Fontas:
And then…. a sweet baby boy. Bentzi.
And then I learned about "making Aliyah" – basically, moving to Israel.
Be well my friends!
Thank you everyone for reading to the end.
I hope to expand on my friendships! If you know anyone getting married, please pass along my name! And… I do travel. I haven't been to Israel yet. Will it be for you???????? 😀

An article posted on the magazine's website this week gives the rundown of the 2013 list, which will appear in the June 24th issue. Woods had topped the Forbes list from 2001-2011 — staying there despite the loss of some sponsors in the wake of the sex scandal that engulfed him in November of 2009. But he fell to third last year, behind boxers Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.

Is this something you have ever said or at least thought? I am embarrassed to say that I have. One of my favorite communicators once said "Systems create behaviors," and he believes that up to 80% of the problems we see in our businesses have more to do with the systems (or lack of systems) in place than the people.
I am not naturally a systems person. I am actually one that revolts from systems, as they feel too confining for my entrepreneurial self. My entire working life, I have always thought of things like systems as confining and something only big corporations do to keep employees in their place.
Systems actually enable us to be more consistent. Also, removing ambiguity can free our minds to be the creative people we should all be in our jobs.
Last year, we experienced a great example of a lack of systems in our business that involved our pre-anesthetic checklists. The short version was our checklists were not being entirely filled out which was a serious issue of safety and liability.
When I started reviewing our incomplete pre-anesthetic checklists, one thing that completely jumped out at me was EVERYONE had dropped the ball.
If it had been one person who never completed the checklist, then it would be a people problem, but when it was everyone I knew this was truly a systems problem. I used to assume they were complete, but now I have someone who is checking them weekly which means my team knows any incomplete records will be brought to their attention.
If you have the same mistakes happening over and over again with different people, odds are you don't have a people problem but instead have a systems problem.
Are there issues in your hospital that could be a lack of good systems rather than a lack of good people?

The Plowboys building on Washington Avenue in Historic Downtown Murrieta has been sold to a Chinese investor for $950,000, according to local brokers.
The investor is in talks to lease the building for use as a wine bar/restaurant, which fits with the city's plans for the property.
Roger Epperson of Rancho Land Associates, the reps for the seller, credited Bruce Coleman, the city's economic development director, with helping to facilitate the deal.
The Plowboys building, which used to house a market that sold locally-grown produce and fruit, is located near The Mill, Anthony's and the new Downtown Public.
The city likes the synergy of the various restaurants being within walking distance and the council recently commissioned a new specific plan for the region that expands on that general idea for the rest of the corridor, which the city envisions as an "economic driver" in the future.
There has been some pushback, however.
On Tuesday, the council will hear an appeal of a restaurant project slated for land on Juniper Street that is opposed by dozens of residents who live in the downtown region.
They have expressed concerns about lower property values and the negative aspects of a heavy concentration of bars and restaurants, such as secondhand smoke, cigarette butts in the gutters and public urination.
This is a developing story. Check back for more information.

Kha'Zix Build
Jungle Role
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
About Kha'Zix
The most recent entry into the LoL Champions roster, Kha'Zix has a lot to boast. He's a jungler that is very versatile, serving virtually any role required on the team of a jungler. His skills and potential each game make him a TON of fun to play, and I hope you guys try him out and enjoy him like I do.
This build focuses mostly on being a tanky damage dealer for your team. It will offer you a ton of mobility in teamfights and allow you to be an asset for your team throughout the whole game.
Here are the pros and the cons for this build:
- Very fast jungle
- Lots of damage
- Very sustainable late game
- Good at counter-jungling
- Super fun to play
- No hard CC
- Fairly weak ultimate
- Squishier early game
- Not an initiator*
*Lots of players expect several things from a jungler. One of those things that is more subconscious is that the jungler needs to be a good initiator for a team fight. Kha'Zix is not one of those junglers. Make sure that if you choose Kha in a match, that you have other great initiators like a support Alistar, a Malphite top, or Varus for his ult. Other than that, the cons rest entirely with you and you alone.
For masteries, I like to run 21/0/9. The offensive masteries are aimed at 2 main things. Increasing your armor penetration through
Weapon Expertise
, and increasing your damage to minions with
and, well, everything else. You're a jungler, so the more damage you do to monsters and minions, the faster you clear jungle, and the more time you can spend in lane.
The Utility masteries are also rather straightforward. As Kha'Zix, having such low cooldowns, you're going to be spending a decent amount of mana. The Expanded Mind mana regen masteries as well as the Runic Affinity jungle buff duration increase help you keep your mana and cooldowns at a very comfortable, sustainable level.
This build doesn't include the point in Summoner's Resolve for the gold buff on Smite and the main reason is because if you have to make a trade-off between keeping your mana sustained or earning an extra 10 gold every minute or so, you'll find that the mana and buff duration increase are worth it every time.
Greater Mark of DesolationArmor penetration marks are pretty standard and shouldn't be a surprise.
More armor in the jungle means less damage taken before ganking. With the build that I run I typically have 90% health for my first gank and a full Health Potion ready just in case. It's all thanks to these guys.
As you and your enemies gain levels, you won't have time or gold to spend buying magic resistance items, because you should just be focusing on health and damage to take out the enemy's carries. These glyphs provide scaling protection against just such magic damage.
I've found that Kha has a pretty low base attack damage for a jungler, and not taking extra damage on him can be extremely dangerous and cost him early game as well as the match. Using these damage Quints provides the opposite to happen. You'll do tons of damage very early and that will help you get kills and snowball to victory.
Summoner Skills
Running these two skills on Kha'Zix is important for some pretty obvious reasons.
You're jungle, you're taking Smite. No questions.
As for Exhaust, you need this because Kha lacks an inherent, decent form of CC that a lot of other junglers benefit from. Granted, this means you'll only have 1 really good gank every 2 minutes or so, but your teammates should have some kind of stun or snare or knockup to help you out a bit. Plus, your damage is great.
Flash isn't going to do you a whole lot of good, and you really don't need it with your Leap skill doing just as good a job on a lower cooldown. Ghost is also less useful, because although you can keep up, the enemy will just get to his tower faster, and you won't get the really nice 10 armor debuff thanks to Summoner's Wrath . Ignite might also seem like a decent choice, but there's a very good chance that at least 2 other teammates are running Ignite and your team will need an Exhaust or two for teamfights later in the match.
Unseen Threat
This is an interesting passive. Whenever the entire enemy team loses sight of you, you gain a buff to your next auto attack. This buff doesn't have a timer, which is its real redeeming quality. The slow will help solidify your ganks and the damage is nice to help chunk away at the enemy's health before they can really make an escape. Sometimes, you can use this skill after getting into a small skirmish. Watch the enemies on your minimap and keep your position in mind. If the enemy disappears but you don't get your Unseen Threat buff back, the area where you are standing is either within range of a ward, or an enemy is hiding and about to kill you. Pretty useful.
Taste Their Fear
This skill is the one you want to take at level 1 and max as quickly as possible, because it will skyrocket your normal damage output. When in the jungle, you want to constantly use this skill. It resets your attack animation, so make sure you activate the skill immediately after you auto attack a creep. What makes this skill so amazing is that when you gank top or mid, there is a 90% chance they will always be "isolated," and will thus receive the giant nuke damage, as opposed to the smaller damage shown in the tooltip. Bot can easily become isolated provided your botlane has the right CC, but even if you don't, it still gives you lots of damage output.
Void Spike
Kha'Zix's W skill gives him a decent bit of sustain in the jungle, but more importantly provides him with some AoE damage. Many Kha players see the heal and AoE damage and think "wow, this should be the one I grab at level 1 and max as quickly as I can!", but this is dangerous. Taking a look at the damage plus cooldowns plus mana cost, and you can see why some players complain about Kha's manapool. The heal is decent, and the damage and range are very nice, but maxing this skill second, namely, AFTER Taste Their Fear will be much more beneficial in the long run. The best way to use this skill is obviously in close-range when in a fight with an enemy, or near max distance to pick up a kill. In the jungle, stand as close as possible to the creeps and fire after you've begun fighting them so you can get the heal.
By itself, Leap is probably one of the weaker skills in Kha's kit and doesn't give him very much damage, but the mobility and terrain jumps it provides are quite nice. You will do a decent amount of damage when you land, but the main idea with this skill is to catch up to the enemy. I've found the best way to use this skill is not to begin a gank, but rather to get to the enemy after they have flashed or used some kind of escape skill. being able to anticipate where they will flash or whatever will help you be in range to land an auto attack with your Unseen Threat buff, and hopefully give you a successful gank even though the enemy used a summoner's! The next gank should be much easier without it, however.
Void Assault
Void Assault, Kha's ultimate, is a big strange. It grants Kha'Zix brief invisibility, a movespeed buff, and gives Kha'Zix Unseen Threat. You might think "Well if he's invisible, shouldn't he get Unseen Threat anyway?" The answer is no. If the enemy has an Oracle's Elixir or if there is a Vision Ward nearby, then you wouldn't be out of the enemy's sight, and therefore would not gain the passive buff. Activating this skill gives it to you regardless. This skill can be activated twice in a relatively short span of time. It's very good for closing gaps or running and juking, but it won't really increase your damage all that much until later levels when the damage for Unseen Threat scales upward.
Another unique aspect to putting skill points into Void Assault is that you also get to evolve one of your skills. These evolutions are permanent and cannot be changed in the match. One of your skills will be unevolved by the end of the game, and that's alright. Keep in mind that evolving any skill has an animation timer, so the moment you choose to evolve a skill, Kha'Zix will stand still until the animation is complete. Don't get excited if you level up and put a point into your ult in the middle of a fight or important situation. Wait until the timing is appropriate.
Evolve Englarged Clawsimproves Kha's bonus damage to isolated units and also increases his base attack and Taste Their Fear range. Nice.
Evolve Spike Rackschanges your Void Spike's single spike into a 3-pronged cone of spike missiles that explode and do very nice AoE damage. As an added bonus to the skill, using an evolved Void Spike with Unseen Threat will apply that bonus damage and slow to all units hit. Nice.
Evolve Wingsincreases the range of your Leap and also refreshes the cooldown for the skill on every kill or assist. Evolving this skill means tons more mobility and chasing power, plus the decent damage from the AoE where you land. Nice.
Evolve Active Camouflageallows Kha to activate Void Assault 3 times as opposed to the normal 3 and also gives him a very decent damage reduction while stealthed. Nice.
With all of these great choices, what shall we do?
Choosing which skills to evolve and when can be, at first, a bit challenging. Let's break down my choices in this build.
At Level 6, Evolve Enlarged Claws
At Level 11, Evolve Wings
At Level 16, Evolve Spike Racks
Why do we want to buff our skills in this particular order? It's actually extremely simple to think about. Because Kha'Zix is going to be jungler in this instance, let's think about how he will be encountering enemies:
At first, he'll be ganking, or going in with the numbers on his side. In this situation, having better damage with Taste Their Fear means that a kill is more likely to be secured, especially considering his skills don't really provide much CC and that you will only need to use Leap once on almost any enemy champion.
After that, toward mid-game, you'll notice that you will be taking on multiple enemies but not really getting into full 5v5 teamfight action. In this situation, enemy players are probably still a bit hesitant to get fully invested in a fight, and may try to run. Picking off players 1 by 1 as they try to run through the jungle or lane will continue refreshing your improved Leap allowing you to keep up or outpace the enemy and deal extremely nice damage with your improved Taste Their Fear while they are isolated. Just be careful not to get ambushed.
Finally, when you have reached late game and 5v5 teamfights are happening, you now have the mobility to enter and leave the teamfight as you need to to do your damage or protect your carry, thanks to your evolved wings. Now, having a much larger range on your Void Spike means nuking as many enemies as possible once they have clumped together. It will also provide you with an insane poke while both teams are waiting/trying for an initiation! (It's also great to use this improved skill to check an entire length of brush for enemies, as there is a specific animation/sound for when it hits an enemy)
So, why not Evolve Active Camouflage?
To put it simply, while 3 seconds of reduced damage is very nice, they are 3 divided seconds, and not 3 continuous seconds. Also, the damage and mobility you will be provided are, to be sure, very fancy and nice, but also easily provided by evolving your other 3 basic skills. In addition, because this is an offtank build focusing on taking some damage, you want to actually take damage and not disappear from the enemy's radar so that they can focus your carries harder.
Starting Items
+ x5
Then Build
(If you don't have enough for both of these items on your first trip back, then prioritize Madred's Razors >> Boots of Speed >> Wriggle's Lantern)
A Note about Boots
This guide lists Mercury's Treads for items, but don't take this as sacred. If the enemy team is AD/autoattacker-heavy, then get Ninja Tabi instead. If the enemy team has a champion like Janna or you otherwise feel slow compared to the enemy team, get Boots of Swiftness. Basically, as long as you are building Tier 2 boots that aren't Sorcerer's Shoes or Ionion Boots of Lucidity then you should be fine, so long as you feel they suit your needs for the match.
Start building your core
Complete your core
Why do we choose these items?
Armor penetration is Kha's best friend. As soon as you finish your Wriggle's Lantern, you want a Brutalizer for pen and damage. You'll notice a difference as soon as you grab it.
The next item is once again situational. Normally I like to compliment the shoes that I bought. If I went with Mercury's Treads, then I like to grab the Phage for the health. The magic resistance from the shoes will improve durability along with the health to take an extra auto or 3. If I grabbed Ninja Tabi, then I like to grab Hexdrinker next. Should spells really start hurting, then I've got a nice shield just in case I need it.
Although, if the enemy is running a VERY AP-heavy team, it is never a bad decision to pair Merc's with Hexdrinker. Likewise on an extremely AD-heavy team, Tabi and Phage should work well.
Obbviously, once we grab these items, we want to keep them and upgrade them. Everything in this part of the game is up to you. Do you want the slow from Frozen Mallet first? Go for it.
Do you want to out DPS the enemy? Finish Ghostblade.
Get a luxury item!
Just joking. Don't buy Tiamat. Unless it's Tuesday.
Mostly, you'll find that with your luxury items, going tankier is better than anything else. Randiun's Omen is a great choice. If you're jumping into a teamfight and focusing the carry, you'll likely take some of their damage, thereby reducing their DPS as a punishment to them. Thornmail is decent in certain situations (auto attack-heavy teams). Guardian Angel is nice if you want that, and Sunfire Cape is good for the armor and extra health. The damage aspect might not really add much to your kit. The Bloodthirster is a more-than-decent option if you start to realize that your team isn't doing the damage it needs to to win teamfights. Tiamat was seriously a joke, please don't build it, omg.
Jungle Path
1. Blue
2. Wolves
3. Wraiths
4. Red
5. Gank
(This order actually provides a much earlier gank at level 3, although some players will say that perhaps Wolves > Blue > Wraiths > Golems > Red will provide better gold and experience. Maybe so, but earlier ganks are much better for Kha.)
If all of the lanes are pushed and I can't gank, I either go back to Wolves, or, if I notice the enemy jungler is ganking, I will assist lanes or (assuming my teammates are doing just fine) go and counter jungle.
Closing Remarks
This build guide is just a demonstration of how I play Kha and how I've had the most success and fun with him. I hope you try this out and do some experimenting of your own. Upvote if you try this build and enjoy it. Have fun playing The Voidreaver!

ESPN NBA 2k4 for Sony PlayStation 2 (PS2)
The sequel to NBA 2K3 features gameplay that offers both a realistic pace and more wide open spacing to let the runners run, gun, and throw down the jams. Shooters can shoot, passers can pass, and defenders rise up in the face of a throwdown and throw it back down to the floor. But the real star of the game is a new mode that has nothing to do with the NBA or 5-on-5. It's called 24/7, and it enables you to create a baller from scratch, build up his skills, and take to the streets to challenge the best street players in the country.

Planting the Seed
It is just starting to feel like Fall in Southern CA (it was only 84 degrees today), and that makes me want to get outside and start the seeds for our winter garden! The winter garden is my favorite, I admit – though I deeply love pretty much everything about summer, most of my favorite foods are grown in our Long Beach version of winter: Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, cooking greens, lettuces, and root veggies. So… time to plant!
This year I am starting my seeds outdoors, instead of in the kitchen window as I have in past years – we've found a great little corner of the yard to act as "nursery", and I think our seedlings will do well there. It's shaded enough during the hottest part of the day to keep the soil moist, but the strong morning sun and a steady breeze should make them nice and strong for transplanting once they're big enough.
And I FINALLY have a good system for organizing my seeds! I found an old CD organizer that is just the right size to hold all my seed packets, and keeps them dark and cool so they'll last longer. I reuse containers that came with other plants from the garden center, and label them with our old P-Touch (my favorite toy) so I know what's what.
It feels like the first day of school! Every season in the garden is different and surprising – we really never can predict what will do well and what will die for seemingly no reason, and I have come to really embrace this. I feel like in every other aspect of my life I try so very hard, and it is reassuring somehow to know that despite my best efforts in the garden, the vegetable gods are ultimately in charge, and this is one thing I cannot fully control. So instead I have come to embrace the process more than the product (though the vegetables are SO delicious), and take a break from the stresses of life as I sink my hands into the soil…

Spinach, Lemon, Avocado, No-Oil Pesto! #pestoisthebesto
It's a known, proven fact that pesto is the besto. I say it, Phoebe Buffay says it, what more do you need?!
The reasons pesto is the besto are:
- Pesto is insanely quick and easy to make (like for real easy to make)
- It's beyond versatile and is perfect on everything except banana ice cream! Trust me, I've tried it!
- It's also insanely healthy, especially if you make it Party in My Plants style, which involves sneaking mega-nutrition-packed greens into the pesto which you'll never taste. Hence how spinach makes its way into this pesto recipe 😀
Ok, so this pesto recipe. It's great. You'll love it. And here's how to make it:

The HTC One M8 and the Samsung Galaxy S5 are two of the hottest flagship devices in the Smartphone market. The two devices launched just weeks apart and are now in a struggle to win the hearts of Smartphone users around the world.
The M8 is a spectacular device, plain and simple! The One M8 has all that you would want in a high end Android device. We are talking about its fantastic looks, awesome technical specification and nifty software enhancements such as blink feed.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is the phone that has everyone talking. The Galaxy S5 has some of the most sophisticated features ever on an Android handset.
We are talking of a fingerprint scanner, a 16 MP snapper, and a heart rate sensor to track your vitals while on the go. Not forgetting the badass ultra power saving mode that squeezes out an extra 24 hours out of the S5 at a 10% battery charge level.
Related: Battery Saving Tweak on an Amoled Display
Deciding on which between the two is the better handset can therefore be quite a pain. HTC felt the people's frustrations and decided to give out five reasons why it thinks its flagship device is better than the Galaxy S5.
The 5 point comparison was from a bunch of training material HTC Source got hold of.
Reason #1
Metal vs Plastic
This a contrast between the Aluminum frame found on the One M8 and the polycarbonate construction of the Galaxy S5.
Reason #2
Boom Sound
This one highlighted the stereo speakers and inbuilt Amplifier found on the HTC M8.
Reason #3
Fast Access
This is highlighting the feature that allows you to wake the HTC One M8 through swiping your fingers or double tapping its display.
Reason #4
Duo Camera
This highlights the powerful Duo camera found the HTC One
Reason # 5
The last nail on the casket was HTC bragging of its Advantage service. The advantage service is an extension of the warranty program that allows up to 2 years Android Upgrades.
Is the HTC One M8 better?

Everybody has to learn about stopping distances before they take their drivers test to get their license, but how many drivers on the road can actually remember what they are?
Stopping distances are a combination of two things:
• The thinking distance – the length of road travelled from when you see something which will need you to stop and actually hitting the brake pedal
• The braking distance – the amount of road travelled from first applying the brakes to actually coming to a stop
Both of these things can be affected by a variety of outside influences and circumstances, all of which need to be taken into consideration when calculating the safest stopping distance and therefore the space you should leave between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.
Thinking Distance
Many factors can affect this, not just the speed at which the car is travelling.
• Tiredness / alertness
• Alcohol
• Drugs – legal and illegal drugs can have an influence
• Age – older drivers may have slower reactions which means a longer thinking distance is needed
• Distractions – like switching channels on the radio or fiddling with a cell phone
• Impaired vision – this can increase the reaction distance needed
Braking Distance
This can also be affected by many different factors, as well of course as the speed at which the car is travelling.
• The weight of the car
• The condition of the tires – the braking distance will be increased when tires are worn, particularly in wet weather
• The brakes – the condition of the brakes obviously has a big influence on the amount of stopping distance needed. Worn brake pads and discs will both mean that the car will need longer to stop
• Road conditions – it will always take longer to stop when the roads are icy or wet . . . so remember to take this into account when driving
• Road surface – the condition of the surface of the road and the quality of the road maintenance can also affect stopping distances. If a road is covered with gravel, mud or dirt the stopping distance will be increased
So how far does it take you to stop, what distance should you allow when driving along the road at different speeds?
Here's a list to give you some idea, notice how much the stopping distances increase as you drive faster, it can be quite surprising. You should also remember that these distances are calculated for driving along in a well maintained car in good weather and road conditions so need to be increased if any of these factors are to be taken into account.
20 mph – The thinking distance when driving at 20 mph is 20 feet, the braking distance is about the same which gives a grand total of 40 feet stopping distance.
30 mph – When driving at 30 mph you will need 30 feet worth of thinking distance but 45 feet of braking distance, a sharp rise to 75 feet stopping distance.
50 mph – The faster you drive the more the stopping distances rise. When travelling at 50 mph you will need 50 feet of thinking distance yet 125 feet of braking distance . . . a total of 175 feet.
70 mph – Although the thinking distance remains pretty constant (you will need 70 feet of thinking distance at 70 mph) the braking distance increases to a whopping 245 feet . . . 315 feet in total.
It is essential that you give yourself the relevant amount of stopping distance to the speed at which you are travelling. At Nissan Montclair they've got some great cars with superb brakes, but you still need to heed the stopping distances. Check out the choices at Metro Nissan Redlands.

Carve another notch in your bedpost, whore. Lay back and tally up the score. Count the number of hearts you've ripped from chests. Then put your pretty eyes to rest. They've had a long day of looking for love in all the wrong places. Putting too much stock in pretty faces. When will you learn there is a difference between lust and love?

|Overall Response Rate [ Time Frame: Disease was evaluated radiologically at baseline and every 2 cycles on treatment; Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Treatment duration was a median of 6 weeks (range 1-23 weeks). ]
Overall response (OR) rate was defined as achieving partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) based on RECIST 1.0 criteria on treatment. Per RECIST 1.0 for target lesions, CR is complete disappearance of all target lesions and PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference baseline sum LD. To be assigned a status of CR or PR, changes in tumor measurements must be confirmed by repeat assessments performed no fewer than 4 weeks after the response criteria are first met. PR or better overall response assumes at a minimum incomplete response/stable disease (SD) for the evaluation of non-target lesions and absence of new lesions.

|A Phase II Trial of Cetuximab in Unresectable or Metastatic Esophageal and Gastric Carcinoma
|Brief Summary
|Purpose: There remains a great need for novel therapeutic agents and treatment strategies for advanced esophagogastric cancer. Preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated increased EGFR expression in a significant proportion of both esophageal and gastric carcinomas. Inactivation of EGFR through use of a monoclonal antibody in preclinical models has resulted in inhibition of tumor growth. Agents designed to block the EGFR pathway have demonstrated disease control among previously treated patients with metastatic esophageal and gastric cancer. The proposed mechanism of action for cetuximab is its ability to effectively disrupt EGFR-mediated signal transduction pathways that ultimately leads to halting cell cycle progression, induces apoptosis, and also inhibits processes important for tumor growth, such as cell invasion and angiogenesis.
|Detailed Description
Primary - To assess the response rate of single-agent cetuximab in patients with advanced esophageal or gastric cancer who have failed 1-2 prior chemotherapy regimens given in the metastatic setting.
- To assess whether levels of EGFR expression and/or EGFR mutation status correlates with response and toxicity of cetuximab.
This study used a two-stage design to evaluate efficacy of cetuximab based on overall response (OR) defined as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). The null and alternative OR rate were 5% and 15%. If one or more patients enrolled in the stage one cohort (n=20 patients) achieved PR or better than accrual would proceed to stage two (n=16 patients). There was 36% probability of stopping the trial at stage one if the true OR rate was 5%. The probability that the regimen would be considered promising if the true OR rate was 5% was 10% and 80% if the true OR rate was 15%.

A St. Louis, MO woman's family has been awarded $70 Million after she alleged getting cancer from Johnson & Johnson baby powder.
This lawsuit is raising concerns about the health ramifications of the extended use of talcum powder.
The trial began on September 26th, 2016 after Deborah Giannecchini of Modesto, California was diagnosed with ovarian cancer back in 2012. Her suit accused Johnson & Johnson of "negligent conduct" in making and marketing baby powder that is hazardous to human health.
There have already been two other lawsuits this year in St. Louis, ending in jury verdicts worth a combined $127 million. $72 million was awarded in February to relatives of a woman in Alabama who died of ovarian cancer, and a $55 million award was given to a South Dakota survivor in May. Yet there were two others in New Jersey that were thrown out by a judge who said there wasn't enough reliable evidence that talcum powder leads to ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer, an often fatal but relatively rare form of cancer accounts for about 22,000 of the 1/7 million new cases expected to be diagnosed in the U.S. this year. Source
Why hasn't the FDA taking action on this unsafe product? Buyer beware!

The Property and Evidence Section is responsible for logging and storing thousands of pieces of property that come into the possession of UAPD each year. Property may be classified as evidence connected with case investigations, search warrants, or seized as contraband. The Evidence Technicians (Erica Doe and Mike Smith) are responsible for ensuring the integrity of evidence submitted and must coordinate its release when it must be exhibited during trial.
Depending on circumstances, property may also be classified as "found" or "safekeeping". Each year UAPD logs and stores property found by community members and attempts to locate--and return found property to--the rightful owner. Property may also be taken for safekeeping by Department personnel if the owner cannot be contacted or is unavailable . If property goes unclaimed for more than 60 days the owner, if known, is contacted via mail and asked to retrieve the property. If the owner fails to retrieve their property, it is turned over to The University Surplus Property Office.
In order to properly account for the number and variety of items, Property & Evidence uses a bar-coding system. This system allows for the automated tracking of every piece of property that Property & Evidence obtains, regardless of its classification. The immediate access this system provides allows timely return of found property, and reliable accounting for items of an evidentiary nature.
During the hours of 8:00am- 11:00am, Tuesdays and Thursdays, UAPD provides fingerprinting services for a fee of $10.00 per card. Persons in need of fingerprinting must supply their own fingerprint card. If you do not have a fingerprint card, you must have your employer call the Department of Public Safety at (602) 223-2279 or (602) 223-2223, for the proper paperwork.
If UAPD is not a convenient location for you, there are alternate fingerprinting locations in the Tucson area.
If you have lost any property, UAPD may have it! Pick-up times are 8:00am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday.

SIMCOE- People living on low incomes in Haldimand and Norfolk Counties will continue to find it challenging to afford to eat a healthy diet this year.
The Nutritious Food Basket survey, conducted annually by Health Unit, monitors the cost of a nutritious diet over time. The prices of 67 standard items are collected from six local grocery stores to determine the lowest available price at which an individual or family could have an eating pattern that meets Canadas Food Guide 2013 recommendations.
Results of the 2013 survey revealed the monthly cost of groceries for a family of four living in Haldimand or Norfolk County was $809.88. This figure represents an increase of $10 per month over the previous year, and close to $70 more per month compared to 2011 data.
Year after year, the results of the survey show that people living in households with limited income struggle a great deal to pay rent, bills, and to put healthy food on the table.
A family of four earning a median wage in Ontario spends about 10% of their income on food and another 10% on rent. If that same family was trying to survive on minimum wage or social assistance, they would be spending 30% of their income on food and 30% on rent.
After paying for groceries and rent, the family receiving Ontario Works would have only $587 left per month for the whole family to cover other necessities of life. In the case of a single male on Ontario Works, frequently they are required to spend almost their entire income on rent, and end up with approximately $100 of debt per month after paying only for rent and healthy food.
Both of these scenarios have not yet factored in the cost of all utility bills, transportation, child care, or other necessary monthly expenses. Also, these scenarios only represent some individual's living situations and do not necessarily account for additional expenses a family or individual may incur, such as needing additional rooms for children of different sexes, requiring an apartment that is wheelchair-accessible, or having special dietary restrictions that increase the cost of their groceries.
For many people in households with low income, the choice is not between a generic and name brand product, but rather it is between food and hunger. Hunger has a dramatic impact on health, and to reduce the risk of health problems, we must continue efforts to help ensure that everyone has adequate access to healthy food.
Heidy Van Dyk, social housing manager with Haldimand-Norfolk's health & social services department noted that the decision to spend what little money is available on either food or shelter costs is an impossible choice.
"It is completely understandable that an individual or family may decide to use someof their money for food and, as a result, get behind in rent or utilities. Once this happens, it often becomes nearly impossible to get caught up," explained Van Dyk.
"Hunger and homelessness can quickly become a reality if additional supports from family, friends or community agencies and services are not available." For the Silo, Kathy Heffer, RD Public Health Dietitian

Do you save the Avengers or X-Men: Days of Future Past? I think in my opinion X-Men had a better plot and overall story and it just knocked my socks off.
I never read The Avengers as a kid.... If the Avengers are your favorite team in comics I can see you choosing Avengers.
Or maybe you just think it's a better film, but if you have read any of my past post's. You know how much I ADORE the X-Men and this is the X-Men film iv'e been waiting for. How about you?

Duplicate files often made our hard disk full. SOT once discussed in article: "What are things made our disk full?" that one tips to 'create a space' in our hard disk capacity is by erasing duplicate files. SOT add one more application to remove duplicate files in your hard drive as alternative, which is Double Killer.
This application will search duplicate files by comparing combination of name, size, modification date, and content. You can exclude file or limit the search using certain attribute, like *.MP3, so that the application will avoid to search such type file. When scan procedure is finished, then all duplicate files found will be displayed on screen and you can manually or automatically remove those files. The list can be managed or placed into a text file which can be read if you want to do deletion later.
Interface Double Killer seemed a bit complicated, but all features existed are aimed to search duplicate files by applying various searching criteria.
By clicking on option tab, you can filter the search by deciding file criteria to be found. If you already decided in which folder or hard drive part to search duplicate files, then you just have to run this application or pressing "Run" button.
The result will be displayed in main panel. Here you can directly execute it by erasing the similar file or do further review and remove it later. Doublekiller also makes you possible to print file list which can be considered same to take further action later.
You can download DoubleKiller in:
DoubleKiller is a standalone or portable type application which doesn't have to be installed. You just have to extract and run it directly. Quite practical, isn't it?
Last but not least, as alternative, you can also use Anti-Twin Duplicate File Finder application which once also discussed by SOT too.
