Looks great! I have a few comments: The name "Access-Control-Origin" is IMHO confusing. First of all I would expect "allow" or "grant" or something like that somewhere in the syntax to indicate that the header is granting access. I have two counter proposals: "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" ":" URL | "*" or "Access-Control" ":" "allow" "<" URL ">" I would prefer the latter one as that gives us better opportunity for future expansions if needed. That way the future expansions can be made such that existing clients bail due to unrecognized syntax if we so desire. Similarly, should we rename Access-Control-Credentials to Access-Control-Allow-Credentials? This feels less important to me. Lastly, the 'URL' token http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/access-control/#url should not be a full URL, and I don't think we want to depend on HTML5 for it either. Currently we seem to be allowing the syntax Access-Control-Origin: http://foo.com/bar/bin/baz.html which I think is very bad as it seems to indicate that only that page would be allowed to POST, which of course isn't something that we can enforce. Additionally, the way the spec was written before we could create a conformat implementation now without having to worry about HTML5 changing things under us. Note that when I said during the meeting that the URI paring was the hardest part, I didn't mean that URI parsing was hard. I meant it in the sense that the spec was so easy to implement that it was even simpler than URI parsing. So I strongly think we should bring back the language the spec used to have for parsing origins. And then the HTML5 spec can refer to the AC spec for origins if it so desires. Adding a dependency on HTML5 is bad for a couple of reasons: 1. We want to be able to ship implementations now and not change their parsing later as that can have security implications. 2. It has been politically hard to add dependencies to unfinished specs. Weather we think the concerns raised have merit or not, the debate is likely going to cause the spec to get delayed. Mostly I care about 1 above. I haven't reviewed the headers/methods stuff yet. But it looks good at an initial overview. / Jonas Anne van Kesteren wrote: > > Hi, > > The WebApps WG had a F2F last week in Seattle.

Kansas University freshman basketball guard Andrew Wiggins will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. today, at which he will announce his intentions to enter the 2014 NBA Draft.
KU freshman Joel Embiid, who like Wiggins is expected to be taken in the top three of the draft, will not be part of this news conference.
Wiggins has long acknowledged he's a one-and-done college player. Nothing has changed entering this news conference, sources said Sunday night.
The 6-foot-8 guard from Ontario, Canada, addressed his emotions after his last home game as a Jayhawk, KU's 82-57 Senior Night victory over Texas Tech,
"I am happy, yet sad it is my last game," Wiggins said after scoring nine points with four boards in 23 minutes. "I'm thankful for everything. I've been blessed with a good team, great coaches and the best fans anyone could ever ask for."
Wiggins, who averaged 17.1 points and 5.9 rebounds for the 25-10 Jayhawks, recently rated his one-and-done season a "10" on a scale of 1-10.
"It did," he said of his year in Lawrence exceeding his expectations. "(There's) nothing like college, sharing moments with your brothers you'll never experience again."
Wiggins never wavered in his decision to play college basketball one season only.
"I would say just being able to enjoy my last year of school," Wiggins said in November to ESPN when asked what he was most looking forward to during the 2013-14 school year.
Wiggins is listed as No. 1 pick in the 2014 Draft by draftexpress.com. Embiid is listed as No. 2.
"To reach his full potential, NBA teams will want to see Wiggins become more aggressive with the way he approaches the game. He has somewhat of a laid-back demeanor on the floor, which can be seen in the way he finishes around the basket at times, his tendency for shying away from contact, and his propensity for settling for long jumpers. He looks reluctant at times to just explode down the lane and dunk on people, which his physical tools suggest he should be able to much more frequently than he does. Part of that might have to do with his youth, lack of experience and strength," wrote Mike Schmitz of draftexpress.com.
"To his credit, Wiggins only recently turned 19 years old, and is obviously nowhere near a finished product. His tremendous scoring instincts and defensive prowess give him outstanding two-way potential, and that, coupled with his incredibly rare physical tools, makes it very easy to see why he's such a coveted prospect."

Student or Learner
- Starting from the fifties the book goes over the British history, narrating the difficulties of the period following the war those were the years of Mark growing up in a needy family (or ; in these years Mark was growing up in a needy family?)
- the catalogue contains (or presents?)
- He usually went to the theatre Arcos, actually the only theatre in his town (I want to say that where he lived there was only one theatre)
- he read the books belonging to the Communist Party (I mean the books belonging to the tradition of this Party)
- this discipline was a great teaching for (or to) him
thanks for your help and regarding your question:
I mean the books written by communist spokesmen like Lenin, Stalin, Marxs........SO how would I put it? The books issued by the Communist party?
No, if they are books written by these authors, then "books written by leading Communists/Communist thinkers/Communist theorists".
Definitely not "Communist Party" - Marx wrote before it existed.
YES, right!
My question is: apart from this, is it possible to say that a book "belongs" to an ideology, or a genre (for instance: Wordsmorth's works belong to romanticism)?
A book can "belong" to a genre or ideology - Tolkien's works belong to the genre of fantasy; Marx's works belong to the theory of politics; Adam Smith's works belong to the field of economy.

In Memoriam
The Dark Side of Robin Williams
The recent reporting of Robin William's troubles and how he chose to deal with them has, once again thrust suicide back into the spotlight and made it top-of-the-things-to-do list for those struggling to cope with depression.
If we examine Robin William's epic portrayal of the right-minded Professor in Good Will Hunting you could be forgiven for feeling a misplaced sense of loyalty to a figurehead that probably inspired thousands to look at themselves in the mirror. This was arguably one of William's finest screen roles, and the juxtaposition of characters acted as a wake-up call for countless people in crisis. With its emphasis on collective responsibility and personal growth, I lost count the number of times I recommended others to go see the film.
Robin William's suicide has done more than just rob us of one of the greatest comedy icons of this century. His death has unwittingly elevated suicide to a level that has made it almost acceptable in a world that doesn't tolerate imperfection. The hidden message, that this is how you deal with depression and financial debt when in crisis is a deadly dangerous one and is anathema to any right-minded individual. Media reporting around Robin William's death has been excruciatingly painful to observe. Virtually all of the rules and guidelines surrounding the reporting of suicide have effectively been ignored.
One leading reporter made the claim that "suicide is not selfish" and prompted an outpouring of anger. Of course suicide is selfish. The very nature of the act is selfish because, suicide is, ultimately about destruction of self and there's escaping the fact that this is not a team decision. Suicide is a singularly aggressive act that more often than not defies reasoning or explanation. Those who try to argue that suicide is not selfish are merely trying to absolve themselves of the responsibility of their actions and blame it on somebody or something else. Suicide is a symptom of denial and those who choose it – from my experience – prefer not to examine the alternatives. They typically don't want to deal with the pain. They don't want to deal with reality or how they got to that point in their lives. Simply put, they are choosing a permanent solution to a temporary problem and cannot see the wood for the trees. They want a quick effective solution to what they perceive as an intractable problem and who are we to deny them that right. That's perfectly understandable because let's face it who wants to deal with depression or the pain of living at times, but that is still no justification for choosing suicide. If those who die by suicide were to even consider the legacy of pain they leave for others while theirs is over they would probably never commit such an act. But they don't. The vast majority leave no note, no explanation and no apology. They are gone from us in an instant with no farewells or opportunity to share and that's what makes suicide so incredibly selfish. The person in that moment of madness is considering nobody else except themselves and to argue otherwise is totally preposterous. Which begs the question; who in their right mind would do such a thing? Who indeed? Plenty it would seem. Madness does not necessarily go hand-in-hand with suicide and some of the most right-minded individuals have taken their own lives in the false belief that they were doing the right thing. Those who suggest they were insane may be trying to rationalise an irrational act and that's perfectly normal when trying to cope with an overwhelming sense of loss and grief.
Paradoxically, if you talk to anyone who has survived a suicide attempt they will argue that theirs was not a selfish act. They were doing it for others or to spare them the pain of living with whatever issue(s) they were struggling with at the time. This type of self-justification or deluded thinking is a common theme among survivors and if taken literally presents its own set of challenges. To suggest that any suicide is doing anyone a favour is delusional at best and misplaced at worst. No reasonable minded person wants anyone to die and to suggest otherwise is a distorted form of thinking that many people take to their graves. But that doesn't make them mad in the literal sense of the word. This is a belief system that needs to be challenged and confronted in a therapeutic environment and to be shown for what it is. An irrational thought process that can have devastating consequences as we witness all too often in the press.

Since our interaction with the aliens began we have come into possession of technology beyond our wildest dreams. A craft named Aurora exists at Area 51 which makes regular trips into space. It is a one stage ship called a TAV (transatmospheric vehicle) and it can take off from the ground using a 7 mile runway, go into high orbit, return on its own power, and land on the same runway. We currently have and fly atomic powered alien type craft at Area S-4 in Nevada. Our pilots have made interplanetary voyages in these craft and have been to the Moon, Mars, and other planets aboard these craft. We have been lied to about the true nature of the Moon, the planets Mars and Venus and the real state of technology that we possess today at this very moment.

We might not want them on this planet.
That's a very, VERY good point. And many movies over the years have shown why bringing them back could be a bad idea.

Milan forward Stephan El Shaarawy has revealed some of the ways to survive in the Rossoneri dressing room alongside some of his more illustrious teammates.
In an upcoming interview to be published on Thursday, the 19-year-old tells of his fear of former Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, his hair and girls' new found attention in him.
"It's difficult to be appreciated by him, but I felt worse. The secret is to pass him the ball, or he starts to growl. You need to know how to relate to him. Otherwise he plays tricks on you.
"When Rino Gattuso noticed I used to shave my eyebrow he started to kick my ass and said 'you only must think to play, you understand?'
"I was asked to cut my hair as soon as I arrived at Milanello. Someone also asked me in the dressing room, but one of my teammates defended me and said, 'if Hamsik, Neymar and Cisse can have it, why can't he' in front of everyone. Then the debate was closed."
The former Genoa player also spoke of the pressures of professional football. "I thought it was easy to not fall for the things surrounding fame, instead it is hard. When you see football players everybody thinks - how can they be so arrogant? I thought about it a thousand times.
"Then fans find us and ask for photos and autographs and you feel pumped up, even if you don't want to. You arrive in Serie A and instantly the attention is multiplied around you. Luckily my father helps keep my feet on the ground."

Autumn half-term break extended in city to help parents pay for holidays
Pupils in a seaside city are to get an extra week off school in the autumn to help hard-pressed parents hit by steep rises in holiday prices.
Brighton and Hove City Council has announced that the traditional week-long autumn half-term break will be doubled for state schools from October 16 2017.
Councillors hope tweaking the school holiday timetable will allow parents the flexibility to take cheaper breaks outside the expensive peak summer holiday period.
The high cost of holidays during school breaks often leaves families with the dilemma of whether to pay more, or take their child out of school and run the risk of a fine.
The issue was thrown into the spotlight after a father on the Isle of Wight refused to pay a fine for taking his six-year-old daughter out of school for a family trip to Florida.
Isle of Wight Council is to ask the Supreme Court for permission to appeal against a High Court judgment in favour of the father.
In Brighton and Hove, council chiefs said their changes will not cut the number of teaching days pupils receive. Instead, slight adjustments will be made to the start and finish of the three main terms.
Tom Bewick, chair of the authority's children, young people and skills committee, said: "Modern families come in all shapes and sizes and the reduction in the discretion available to headteachers is damaging.
"The introduction of a new week's holiday in term time is a positive step and I hope addresses the behaviour of travel companies who whack up prices."
Council bosses said the same holiday pattern will apply during the academic year 2018 to 2019 as a pilot arrangement before the changes will be reviewed.
The number of parents taken to court due to their child skipping school has almost doubled in the last five years, according to official figures published this month.
Government statistics also revealed that more than 150,000 fines were issued to mothers and fathers in 2014/15 for unauthorised absence - more than quadruple the numbers in 2010/11.
The figures come amid a continuing row over parents' rights to take their children out of school during term time.
Of the fines issued last year, 108,024 were paid within 21 days, a penalty of £60. This suggests that about £6.5 million was collected from these notices alone.

Jennifer McCarthy is the ex-wife of Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Cormac McCarthy, author of "The Road" and "No Country for Old Men." She is now dating again, and after an argument with her new boyfriend about alien invasions, she produced a hand gun from inside her vagina and pointed it at her beau's head.
From TSG here:
A domestic dispute over space aliens escalated Saturday morning when a lingerie-clad New Mexico woman pointed a silver handgun at her boyfriend, a weapon she retrieved from her vagina, where it had been placed while the accused was performing a sex act.
To make matters more strange, the arrested woman is the most recent ex-wife of Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Cormac McCarthy, author of "The Road" and "No Country for Old Men."
Following the argument McCarthy departed her Aventura Road residence. Upon returning to the home, McCarthy went into her bedroom and later emerged "wearing lingerie and a silver handgun in her vagina." She then proceeded to "have inner course with the gun,".
While using the gat as a sex toy, McCarthy reportedly asked her boyfriend, "Who is crazy, you or me?"
After removing the gun from her vagina, McCarthy pointed it at her boyfriend's head. Fearing that he could get shot, the man grabbed the weapon from McCarthy and put it in the toilet.
Crazy bitches are going to be crazy. Between aliens, the menopausal hot flashes, and the weapon up her snizz, she should be forced to wear a sign warning men to stay the hell away. And is everyone named Jenny McCarthy batshit crazy?

Followup to The Difference Between IE7 and a Virus
by Kurt Cagle
I haven't done a formal analysis of the release version of IE, nor was the attempt in my last post an attempt to do so. The article I wrote WAS intended to point out a few of my major peeves with the way that Microsoft went about upgrading the browser:
- Just about every other application on the planet requires that you indicate ahead of time that you wish to install their product. Operating system upgrades are one thing - I assume that the upgrades being made in general are to core systems necessary to protect my system, improve performance, or fix bugs. I do not consider Internet Explorer to be a core part of the operating system. I should also point out that while people have been posting many useful hacks to keep IE FROM installing, the fact is that Microsoft never specifically indicates that it was installing IE until that particular act was done.
- The whole .NET user experience was supposed to have moved us away from the need to install critical OS system upgrades when we added a new program, yet from what I can determine, IE seems to operate completely outside of this. Now I have to wonder what ramifications this installation process will have on other applications.
- Yes, I was aware of the November 1st upgrade, though only accidentally. Windows zealots may be shocked to discover that those of us who are only peripherally in that particular camp (and before people start throwing more mudballs, understand that I HAVE worked at Microsoft, several times) generally don't spend time in the distribution channels that Microsoft sends these messages out to. Chances are, most people don't - and there will likely have been any number of people who will be caught flatfooted because of this upgrade.
- Additionally, this was MY user experience ... yours (Dave) may very well have differed. I will of course use IE7 - I'm a web developer, and while I'm focused on Firefox issues I do try to keep up with all of the browsers ... I am just upset that after an interminable upgrade with little feedback beyond an animated gif cycling that the very first time I try to use the product it crashes on me. That other people are reporting the same is encouraging - it means that it wasn't just because there of something idotic that I did.
I'm frankly a little disappointed in the feedback on the article, however. Linux and OSS partisans have a reputation for occasionally getting hostile and anal about their particular OS, but its a little disturbing to see the same kind of attacks coming from the highly literate readers (I hope) of this site from the Windows side.
I am frustrated with IE because it could have and should have been so much better a browser. It is still the one that most people use, largely because its what gets defaulted in any new windows installation, and many (especially non-technical) people have neither the time nor the understanding to seek out something else. However, this didn't prompt my last rant ... rather, I am taking fault with the user experience of the installation, which is THE front door that most people will end up seeing before using the browser in the first place.
The IE7 auto-upgrade gave Microsoft had a chance to gain back a lot of people that it has lost in the last few years - wow them with something spectacular, send the user to a page that would put the browser through its paces and show off the positive points, get past the "We are Microsoft and we know better than you do what you want." attitude and make people wonder if maybe they were wrong about Firefox after all.
They blew it.
Instead, the user experience that was sent out was cold - "We don't trust that you're running a valid copy of Windows, so before we go anywhere, we're going to frisk your operating system!", "We'll let you know how soon we can give you back your computer as soon as we're actually done.","Oops, there's a glitch here that we didn't anticipate, and on 17.2% of all computers this program will crash." Programmers may not believe that User Experience matters - I'm USED to Linux programs crashing all the time - but for most non-programmers, the message that comes out of this user experience is simple: "Microsoft is a cold, large, indifferent monolithic corporation that builds shoddy products". Is that the reality? No, from my own experiences, generally it isn't. But it IS the perception, and experiences like this only serve to bolster that perception, especially among the non-technical.
I'm hoping to do a formal analysis of Internet Explorer 7 in the near future, and no, I'm not going to be partisan about it - there are a number of good features and upgrades that IE7 has to offer, and I think it is important to highlight these positive aspects, especially given the expectation that IE7 use will spike this week despite the less than sterling installation process.

It was the usual mix of tricks to figure out how to exact more dollars from the monopoly. I'm used to that. The music execs do it, my last company did it, and the new mantra really is, "We don't care if it is immoral or unethical, as long as it's legal." It's accepted in business and politics and so it shouldn't surprise anyone that it is the way of the web too.

As you correctly observe, we used KIF lists to represent RDF containers, DAML+OIL has a class called "List" which is a subclass of RDF sequences, and RDF sequences are a subclass of RDF containers. So, we need to make clear whenever the constant "List" is used in an axiom which notion of list is intended. Probably the simplest way of doing that is to consider the KIF ontology to be in a KIF namespace so that a namespace prefix (e.g., "kif") can be specified in the axiom document for terms from the KIF namespace and then a KIF list can be referred to as "kif:List". We will make that change in the next version of the axiom document. RichardReceived on Tuesday, 3 April 2001 11:00:34 UTC

In the Summer 2013 issue of YALS, K-Fai Steele, authored an article on the teen participatory design and action research she and her colleagues facilitated at the Free Library of Philadelphia. The project focused on creating spaces in the library that support teen needs and interests.
The print article didn't include the photos that the Library made available to document the process the teens took part in. The images are important to the story K-Fai tells, so we wanted to publish them here.
Teens imagine and vote for what they think their ideal teen space should be all about.

Ignis Gehenna
Baleful Scarlet Star
January 2017
Released: 2017, Seance Records
Rating: 3.0/5
Reviewer: Metal-Rules.com UK Team
Australia's pretty damn good at unearthing some gems when it comes to rock and metal. For decades now, the land Down Under has produced a number of great acts that have written long in the annals of metal history. So what of IGNIS GEHENNA?
Originally a duo, IGNIS GEHENNA become the Nihilifer show shortly after the release of debut EP "Revelations Of Sinister Birth" and has slowly burnt to this, their debut album, "Baleful Scarlet Star". It's a typically-Satanic affair, with blasts aplenty and ringing arpeggio chord progressions for fun – fans of WATAIN would feel right at home with this offering. Nihilifer's gritty vocals add a certain rawness to the din of fuzzy, flurrying guitars and metronomic drums, which enhances the album's personality somewhat.
Where black metal can often fall flat, is an over-reliance on the two mainstays: blasts and atmosphere. Whilst "Baleful Scarlet Star" has both in abundance, and a production somewhat similar to countrymen BEYOND TERROR BEYOND GRACE's last outing "Nadir", Nihilifer's presence and delivery hints at a genuine love for his craft and it is oddly infectious. The title track is black metal 1-0-1, whilst "Litany Unto Thanateros" meanders and lashes out like a paranoid schizophrenic in musica yet that consistent impassioned vocal performance threads it all together.
Whilst it can feel a little like tracks pass by, where "Baleful Scarlet Star" excels is in the use of the slower and, arguably, more melodious passages. The opening passage to "Melas Oneiroi" is simply sublime, whilst the middle third of instrumental closer "Anamnesis" sparkles with a malevolence that sounds superb. Yes, the whole choral arpeggio bit is stock black metal, but those little hints at something more melodic and emotive hook you like a goat for ritualistic slaughter.
Atmosphere? Check. Blasts? Check. Vocal malevolence. Yup. Whilst IGNIS GEHENNA haven't reinvented black metal with "Baleful Scarlet Star", it will appease any fan of black metal's more discerning peers. Dark, cold and just a touch evil – it's black metal.

Trustees Sharpen Focus on Next Year's Budget Picture
- 10-29-2013
- By Thomas James Weaver
While last week's October meetings of the UVM Board of Trustees lacked headline votes on the next fiscal year's budget or major new building projects, they did provide a strong sense of recent progress and the road ahead. Trustees considered preliminary numbers regarding the FY 2015 budget, approved renovations to the Miller Research Complex at the Spear Street Farm, and heard reports on recent enhancements to UVM's Career Services programs, among other business at the Oct. 25 and 26 meetings.
Budget, Finance and Investment Committee members received an update on the outlook for the FY 2015 budget from David Rosowsky, provost and senior vice president, and Richard Cate, vice president for finance and university treasurer. A number of strategies and tradeoffs are being considered in the development of a balanced budget that will also close a $6.7 million revenue-related gap from FY 2014. Possible steps include generating new revenue; moderate adjustments to benefits packages; modest budget reductions; a reasonable tuition increase; and a competitive financial aid strategy. A more detailed discussion of the budget will resume in February, followed by a planning meeting on April 12, and leading to a vote on a final budget at the May 16 trustees meeting.
"This is manageable. By working together and supporting each other, we will be successful in achieving a balanced budget consistent with the Strategic Action Plan," President Tom Sullivan told the trustees, adding that the budget process will include ongoing engagement with the entire campus community.
On longer-term fiscal matters, both President Sullivan and Provost Rosowsky spoke of quick progress and broad campus participation in the development of the new Incentive-based Budgeting (IBB) model. Sullivan promised that "this will be a transformation in how we lead, think and behave." Rosowsky told trustees that IBB has been among his top priorities since assuming the provost's post in late summer. Noting that he's extremely encouraged by the level of campus engagement in the planning process, Rosowsky emphasized the tight mesh of IBB with the goals for academic excellence outlined in the Strategic Action Plan.
There was good news on the fundraising front from Richard Bundy, CEO of the University of Vermont Foundation. Bundy reported that FY '13 pledges totaled $44.5 million and the foundation received a record total of receipts at $37 million. The new fiscal year is off to a strong start with a record first-quarter total at $6.5 million. The university is significantly ahead of pace on a provisional goal of $500 million for the next comprehensive fundraising campaign, Bundy said, and the university's endowment has surpassed $400 million for the first time.
Trustees approved three capital projects. Phase I of the Miller Research Complex ($1.8 million) includes the replacement of worn, outdated farm buildings with new state-of-the-art facilities for milking, instruction and research at the Spear Street Farm. The Larner Classroom ($1.25 million) project involves the construction of a 120-seat classroom in the Given Courtyard to facilitate team-based learning in College of Medicine courses. Deferred maintenance and renovations were approved for several student residential facilities, including Slade Hall, Harris-Millis Residential Complex, and Trinity Campus buildings, projects totaling $4 million.
From Board Chair Robert Cioffi's opening comments onward, trustees and UVM officials lauded recent progress in enhancing career services at the university. The initiatives grow from a report and action plan on career services spearheaded by Abu Rizvi, Honors College dean, at the direction of President Sullivan. The creation of the Career Hub in the Davis Center is the most visible among several swiftly implemented steps. Pamela K. Gardner, director of career services, told trustees that the Davis Center facility has had more than 800 visitors in its first four weeks. Both Gardner and Vice President Annie Stevens emphasized that effective career services programming requires engaging students from their first year on campus and depends upon broad participation of the campus community, with faculty and alumni playing critical roles.
The Board also formally adopted the 2013 Strategic Action Plan. "This is a very dynamic, organic document. It's a part of our day-to-day planning and action," President Sullivan said, promising that it will continue to evolve and that the administration will report regularly to the board on progress in meeting the plan's goals.
In other news
Trustees were updated on the work of UVM's three Transdisciplinary Research Initiatives: Complex Systems, Food Systems, and Neuroscience, Behavior & Health. All three have brought in impressive levels of grant funding, and Provost Rosowsky noted that initiatives that reach across disciplines are well-positioned in the battle for dwindling federal support. "I've seen other schools go down this path, but few can claim greater success so early out of the gates," Rosowsky said.
Approximately 150 students interrupted the morning meeting of the Budget, Finance & Investment meeting with a protest calling for UVM divestment from fossil-fuel holdings. The issue wasn't on the agenda for these meetings, but the trustee's Investment Subcommittee will consider the divestment question in the months ahead and make a recommendation on the question.
Paula Carlaccini, director of Facilities Design & Construction, reported the architectural team for the Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) building/renovation project recently held initial meetings with deans and faculty and will continue to meet and develop programming plans over the next several months to complete by February. Next step anticipated: schematic designs with a cost estimate for Board review at the May meeting with the hope to move forward on the first phase of construction in spring 2015.
Trustees voted to set summer tuition at 30 percent below that of the 2013-2014 academic year. The reduction would put tuition at $400 per credit hour for in-state students and $1,010 per credit hour for out-of-state students.
Trustees passed resolutions in memoriam of Rayburn V. Lavigne and Hubert W. Vogelmann. Lavigne was a UVM alumnus and longtime vice president of the university. Vogelmann, a UVM faculty member for decades, was internationally known for his work on the effect of acid rain on northern forests and was a pioneer of the Vermont conservation movement.

Nexans, the worldwide leader in the cabling industry, today announced the launch of LANsense Next Generation Analyser (NGA) at GITEX Technology Week 2008. The new LANsense NGA, a green technology product designed to reduce energy consumption and heat output in data center environments, represents a significant step forward in analyser functionality and in the flexibility available to system designers and end users.
Speaking on the launch, Mr. Tarek Helmy, Regional Director Gulf & Middle East of Nexans Cabling Solutions said, "With the focus at GITEX being Green Technology this year, Nexans is pleased to announce the launch of our green initiative product – the LANsense Next Generation Analyser, which not only saves power but also reduces heat output in data center environments. It is a well known fact that data centers consume a lot of energy and more and more companies today are trying to join the global green technology initiatives by deploying solutions that reduce the carbon footprint on the environment. Nexans is the only global vendor to offer this innovative product."
The New Generation Analyser is part of LANsense intelligent infrastructure management (IIM), a tool promoted by Nexans. LANsense provides accurate information of cable routing, connectivity and device identification, status and location. LANsense uses hardware, such as analysers, and software to manage the physical infrastructure and integrate information from the network layers to provide information about the active devices, which are connected to the cabling.
Network Managers are increasingly seeing IIM as a valuable tool in their green technology initiatives as it helps to monitor and manage the network more efficiently and optimizes usage of network resources.
The new LANsense NGA has a simplified and flexible design. The analyser functionality is separated from the display functionality allowing the display unit to be placed in a convenient location within a rack and the analyser chassis to be placed elsewhere thereby saving valuable rack space. The product also features a System Master Card (SMC) running Linux OS and a self diagnostic test and health status. The installation of the LANsense NGA is as easy as 'Plug and Play'.
"The NGA is an exciting new development which opens up many possibilities for efficient analyser network design and advanced functionality to support the LANsense platform. The power consumption and heat output of the NGA have been dramatically reduced in comparison to other analysers, a key feature in supporting customer's 'green IT' initiatives. The NGA monitors connections and flags disconnections as and when it happens thereby saving on any potential network downtime," explained Mr. Rob Cardigan, Senior Product Manager LANsense within Nexans.
The display unit or Human Machine Interface (HMI) panel of the LANsense NGA features 3 multi-line LCD's capable of displaying work order information, connectivity information and the results of "pen tests" to interrogate the attached database to retrieve data relating to the infrastructure. The analyser chassis is a 3u device, which can accommodate between 1 and 19, 48 port analyser cards, allowing flexibility in system design. Multiple chassis can be interconnected using shielded patch cords to create a network large enough to manage even complex data centre infrastructure. An interchangeable front plate allows the creation of master analysers (with a system master card for Ethernet connectivity) or link analysers, which are connected to a master.
Nexans is holding live demonstrations of their new LANsense NGA in Hall No. 1, Stand: B-45 at Gitex Technlogy Week.

Minneapolis, MN
Like many cities, Minneapolis is much more than one city. It is a city with a neighbor more like a brother in Saint Paul. Together, these two urban centers offer sport, music, and art. Event tickets for the City of the Lakes prove that this cold weather metropolis is not a place to be overlooked.
The city has a professional franchise is each of the major leagues. The Minnesota Twins play ball at Target Field with the hopes of winning the fourth World Series. The Minnesota Vikings will play NFL football at the Metrodome and the TCF Bank Stadium before settling into the new stadium. The Minnesota Timberwolves bring NBA basketball at the Target Center and the Minnesota Wild return NHL hockey to the city at the Xcel Energy Center.
Culture does not only exist on the coasts. Here in the upper Midwest Broadway and Off-Broadway shows take stage at New Century Theatre, Mcguire Proscenium Stage at Guthrie Theater, and Orpheum Theatre. In addition, Minneapolis is a popular stop for bands and singers of all sorts. First Avenue, Mill City Nights, and Icehouse are common venues to enjoy a show with a little more intimate feel.

Winnipeg City Councillor Thomas Steen spent Friday night in jail on new domestic violence charges.
Steen was arrested and charged with failure to comply with a no-contact order.
The order was issued after he was charged with assault and uttering threats in connection with an incident with a woman at a Winnipeg restaurant in May.
Court documents allege Steen violated that no-contact order in late June.
Steen appeared before a justice of the peace on Saturday and was released after paying a $1,500 bond.
Steen is scheduled to appear in court in August to face his original assault charges.
CBC has requested comment from Steen, but he has not yet responded.

AbstractEarly in its history and development, there were three types of classical information sciences: computer and information science, library and information science, telecommunications and information science. With the infiltration of the concept of information into various fields, an information discipline community of around 200 members was formed around the sub-fields of information theory or informatics or information science. For such a large community, a systematization, two trends of thought, some perspectives and suggestions are discussed in this paper. View Full-Text

It keeps nfsd or lockd fromhanding out stateful objects (e.g. locks) before clients have anopportunity to reclaim them. Once the grace period expires, there is nomore reclaim allowed and "normal" lock and open requests can proceed.Traditionally, there has been one nfsd or lockd "instance" per host.With that, we were able to get away with a relatively simple-mindedapproach of a global grace period that's gated on nfsd or lockd'sstartup and shutdown.Now, you're looking at making multiple nfsd or lockd "instances". Doesit make sense to make this a per-net thing? Here's a particularlyproblematic case to illustrate what I mean:Suppose I have a filesystem that's mounted and exported in twodifferent containers. You start up one container and then 60s later,start up the other. The grace period expires in the first container andthat nfsd hands out locks that conflict with some that have not beenreclaimed yet in the other.Now, we can just try to say "don't export the same fs from more thanone container". But we all know that people will do it anyway, sincethere's nothing that really stops you from doing so.What probably makes more sense is making the grace period a per-sbproperty, and coming up with a set of rules for the fs going into andout of "grace" status.Perhaps a way for different net namespaces to "subscribe" to aparticular fs, and don't take the fs out of grace until all of thegrace period timers pop? If a fs attempts to subscribe after the fscomes out of grace, then its subscription would be denied and reclaimattempts would get NFS4ERR_NOGRACE or the NLM equivalent.-- Jeff Layton <firstname.lastname@example.com>--To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" inthe body of a message to firstname.lastname@example.com majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlPlease read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Officials at the IWK Health Centre say they're seeing more children burned in household accidents in Nova Scotia, prompting renewed warnings for parents.
In the past year, the burn team at the Halifax hospital has treated almost 60 kids. Most of them were injured when they touched hot objects or hot liquid spilled on them.
"Many of these children have gone on to develop severe scars that have a lifelong impact on their appearance and function," Dr. Michael Bezuhly, the head of plastic surgery at the IWK Health Centre, said in a statement.
"For the most part, these injuries are preventable."
A spokesperson for the hospital said 23 infants and toddlers have been burned by wood stoves, propane stoves and fireplaces since April 1, 2015.
That's a slightly higher rate than the previous year, when 24 infants and toddlers suffered burns between April 1, 2014 and March 31, 2015.
"Many parents are aware of what they have done to keep their child safe in their own home, but it's common to overlook what might need to be done to keep their child safe in someone else's home," Chantal Walsh, a health promotion specialist with Child Safety Link, said in a statement.
"While your own home has a gate around the fireplace to keep your child from touching it, the friend's place you're visiting may not."
Tips from Child Safety Link to protect children from household burns:
- Keep small children away from fireplaces, portable heaters and wall heaters.
- Keep matches and lighters out of reach of children.
- Block off the area in front of heaters with secured screens and gates.
- Turn pot handles in on the stove and use back burners whenever possible, and keep hot liquids and appliance cords out of reach on countertops and other surfaces.
- Ensure your hot water heater is set below 49 C.
- Do not hold hot beverages and babies at the same time.
- Keep irons (including curling irons and hair straighteners) out of reach of young children.
- Do not leave young children unattended around barbecue grills and campfires.

Airtel, Vodafone, Videocon and Tata Teleservices are among the telecom biggies who applied Friday to bid in the upcoming spectrum auction, but Reliance Industries and Russia's Sistema surprised by staying away.
New Delhi: Airtel, Vodafone, Videocon and Tata Teleservices are among the telecom biggies who applied Friday to bid in the upcoming spectrum auction, but Reliance Industries and Russia's Sistema surprised by staying away.
Billionaire Mukesh Ambani-run RIL, sitting on a cash-pile of Rs 79,159 crore, was widely anticipated to bid in the November auction of airwaves to complement its wireless broadband services with voice call facility.
But RIL, like Anil Ambani-controlled Reliance Communications, has not submitted application to participate in the bidding, according to sources. The deadline for submission of applications ended this evening.
Videocon Industries, which had in 2008 got pan-India 2G or second-generation spectrum for Rs 1,658 crore, has submitted applications to bid for both GSM and CDMA technologies.
It is being intensely speculated that Videocon may join hands with RIL after the auction with firm's Chairman Venugopal Dhoot confirming his group's "friendship" with the Mukesh Ambani-run firm and not ruling out any future possibility.
"We have been having very good friendship with RIL. We are always getting advise from them. I don't commit (what will happen in future) but Mukesh Ambani's advise will continue. Yesterday only I met him," Dhoot told a TV channel.
RIL had not bid for BWA spectrum in 2010 but later went on to acquire Infotel Broadband which had won a pan-India spectrum for offering high-speed Internet services. Broadband does not has permission to provide voice calling facility.
Another surprise was Sistema, which decided against the participation saying that it has been "unfairly penalised" by the February order of the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court had cancelled 122 licences, including 21 of Sistema Shyam Teleservices Ltd -- the Russian firm's Indian joint venture. Videocon's 21 permits were also among those cancelled.
Norway's Telenor, whose 22 licences with Indian joint venture with realty firm Unitech were among those cancelled, has applied as an independent entity.
Dhoot confirmed making application for both GSM and CDMA but said "the final decision on technology selection will be made on November 11 (a day before the auction begins)."
The government has fixed Rs 14,000 crore as the minimum or base price for the auction that is to begin on November 12. This is several times Rs 1,658 crore price at which pan-India licence bundled with 4.4 megahertz of spectrum was given by the then Telecom Minister A Raja in 2008.
Sources said Vodafone has submitted applications for 17 circles in 1800 MHz band, Bharti Airtel for around six circles, Videocon for 15 GSM and around 10 CDMA circles and Tata Teleservices for three circles where it lost its CDMA permits.
The number of circles for Idea Celluar and Telenor could not be immediately ascertained.
Sistema-Shyam (SSTL) said it has "consistently maintained that it has been unfairly penalised... And has filed a curative petition seeking to restore (our) licences."
The company said there was no finding by the CAG report that CDMA spectrum was equally or anywhere near in demand as GSM. "It is hopeful that the highest court of the land will speedily look into the merits of its case and will give it justice," the statement added.
Telenor said it decided to submit the application but a final decision about its participation will be taken later.
"Telenor Group confirms that it submitted its application for pre-qualification in the 1800 MHz band spectrum auction," the company said, adding, "A final decision on whether or not to participate will be made before the auction starts."
Rajan Mathews, director general of Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) said that absence of players like RIL, RCom, Aircel and SSTL is because of the high reserve price of the spectrum.
"We have always maintained that there will be muted demand for the auction process as the reserve price set by the government is too high," Mathews said.
He added even those players, who have shown interest may be bidding for selected circles.
DoT is conducting auction of airwaves frequencies in 1800 Mhz, being used for GSM services at present, and 800 Mhz band, being used for CDMA services, after the Supreme Court cancelled 122 telecom licences belonging to eight different companies in 2G scam.
The cancelled licences included 22 permits of Uninor (joint venture between Unitech Wireless and Norwegian firm Telenor), Loop's 21, Sistema-Shyam's (SSTL) 21, Etisalat-DB's 15, S Tel's 6, Videocon's 21, Idea's 9 and three licences of TTSL.
The apex court has asked government to complete spectrum auction by January 11, 2013 and warned that failure to meet the deadline would invite "contempt" action against erring officials with "exemplary" cost.
The government will auction maximum of 11 blocks of spectrum in 1800 Mhz band, being used for GSM services, each having 1.25 Mhz of airwaves frequencies.
New players and companies whose licences were cancelled by the Supreme Court will have to bid for minimum of four spectrum blocks in a service area to start their services.
The Cabinet has fixed Rs 14,000 crore for 4 blocks of pan-India spectrum in the 1800 Mhz band.
Existing players, or companies whose licences were unaffected by the apex court judgement will be allowed to bid maximum of 2 blocks in 1800 Mhz band.
S C Khanna, former secretary general of Association of Unified Telecom Service Providers of India (AUSPI), said, "There is no business case for companies to participate in auction with such a high reserve price."
He added after paying such a high price for spectrum, the companies can be able to offer services with tariffs ranging between Rs 1 -1.50 paise a minute while the existing players are offering tariffs of 40 paise a minute.
"The people who have not participated are wise people because there is no business case in this auction," he added.

Alter Ego sent me to Lotto Quebec to fill in for a long term sick leave. I worked full time on the 23rd floor as receptionist for the presidential department. I learned to dispatch calls and messages, receive visitors, discretely provide security for the office and insure that our guest book was up-to-date. There was no stress and no co-workers around. I was alone and often left with little to do.
Subsequently, I was called to Lotto Quebec a second time (again for a long term sick leave) but this time I was in the customer service department. My co-workers were very helpful, my job description involved answering several hundred calls per day. I learned to provide information regarding lotto tickets, i.e. how to play, winning numbers, etc. The hardest part of the job was not being able to use the washroom until break time. The best part of the job was informing someone that they had won a prize and how to collect.

So this is my first oneshot and I wrote it while sitting in my English class xD my College Professor said that we should write at least half an hour a day and if we filled enough pages at the end of the quarter she would give us extra credit. Me not knowing what to write (more like I didn't want to write my random thoughts down and make everyone think weird of me) I wrote this one shot :3 well I wrote various oneshots. We were to write anything...so why not these one shots? x'D
Any-who this shows one of my OC's that will soon appear later on in "Eternal Dream" only that well...she's a lot younger here xD
Chatter, laughter and music filled the night. Many people dressed in their finest gowns paraded around talking among themselves. It had been a party for the wealthy and rich most where locals while others had come just to see what was going on or to show off.
While everything seemed to have been flowing calmly at the party back in the kitchen it was current hell. An old woman scolded a young boy if about 8 years old, the boy furiously scrubbed the mess of food on the ground, his blonde hair was covered in sweat and his brown eyes were covered in water.
"Just you do it again! You're going to get us in trouble you stupid boy!" the cranky old woman smacked a hand on the boys' head. Immediately the boy covered his head where he had been hit and rubbed it trying to get the pain away.
"I already said I was sorry! That pot was too heavy for me to carry!" the boy replied, his voice filled with upcoming sobs.
"Don't you cry!" the woman yelled grabbing a hold of the young boys' arm and pulled him up from the ground. The boy struggled to break free but had difficulty due to the woman's hard grip. She raised her hand up in the air and the boy looked up at it with widening eyes. He kicked the woman's leg and that was when she let him go. Without turning back he turned and ran out of the kitchen and onto the backyard.
"Prompto!" the woman yelled after the boy watching him disappear out of the door. Prompto ran until he felt he had gone a good distance away. He came upon a bench and sat down on it with his elbows resting on his knees and his hands covering his face. That was when he finally let his tears fall and began to sob. He only lowered his face to wipe away the tears that were running with his dirty old shirt.
Afterwards he went back to crying on his hands. Minutes later he finally had calmed down being left alone he felt calmer and less angrier.
"Why are you crying?"
Prompto hadn't noticed someone had sat down next to him on the bench. Lifting his head up he came face to face with a pair of baby blue eyes. He gasped in surprise and quickly got up from the bench stumbling back. With a yelp he landed on a bush getting stuck in between the twigs and leafs.
There was a gasp from the girl standing up she went next to the bush and pulled the top apart revealing the stuck blonde boy. His face went red as he stared up at her in embarrassment.
"Are you okay?" she asked tilting her head slightly to the side, a couple of her dark violet curls fell onto her shoulder. She was covering the moons shine with her hat. Prompto could tell she was around his age. She had a fine looking dress decorated with ribbons, her hat had a ribbon running around it with three pink roses on her left side. Her dark violet hair was up in a fashionable ponytail in curls.
Looking at the boy and how he seemed as if he wasn't going to say anything the girl stretched her hand out towards him.
"Give me your hand so I can help you get out" she smiled down at him waiting for the boy to take her hand. Prompto took her hand shaking and he soon was out of the bush.
"So are you okay?" the girl asked again helping the blonde boy take out the leafs and twigs from his hair. Prompto cleared his throat before he nodded.
"Yeah," getting the final twigs out he turned towards her. "What are you doing here? Aren't people like you supposed to be at the party?"
The girl crossed her arms and her smile vanished from her face. Raising a brow she asked "people like me?"
At this Prompto quickly raised his hands up.
"I-I didn't mean to offend!"
The girl gave him a smile before she punched his shoulder playfully. "I was kidding! Don't take it so seriously" she giggled. Prompto's face reddened again in embarrassment.
"S-sorry…" he scratched the back of his head looking at the ground.
"You still haven't told me why you were crying" the girl said lowering her head to catch his gaze. Prompto glanced at her still rubbing the back of his head. A frown soon appeared on his face.
"It was because I did something…." He replied slowly. The girl patted his shoulder gently.
"Don't let it bring you down!" she smiled at him. Prompto raised a brow with a pout.
"But if it's going to continue until I grow up?"
"Then…you fight it?" the girl shrugged still with the smile on her face. She then placed two hands on his shoulders.
"Just whatever it is don't let it bring you down okay?"
Prompto's face reddened yet again. "O-okay…"
"If you need anyone to talk to you can come to me" she patted his shoulders before turning her head to her right. She stayed like that for a couple of seconds before she lowered her hands to the sides.
"Sorry but I have to go now" she turned back to Prompto, without a warning she gave him a hug. Prompto froze with his hands in the air.
"Remember, don't let anyone or anything bring you down, alright?"
Prompto slowly nodded "A-alright"
She then held onto her dress as she began to walk away from him. Prompto suddenly stretched his arm towards her.
"Hey hold on!"
She stopped and turned towards him. "Yeah?"
"What's your name?" he asked bringing his hand back down.
"Aurora" she replied before she vanished in between the trees and bushes.
"Aurora…" Prompto muttered slowly looking at where she had vanished. Looking back down at the ground he spotted a pink rose, it's petals slowly moved in the light breeze. The slowly picked it up and stared at it, its scent slowly reached his nose. It was a soft and sweet one. He recognized it as one of Aurora's roses that had been on her hat. He looked around to see if she had come back but seeing as she hadn't he looked back down at the rose.
He held onto it walking back wondering if they would ever meet again sometime in the near future.
The end :D
hope you liked it ^^ I'll try to post the other oneshots once they're done ^w^

Emma was born on July 26, 2008. Molly is the first cow I have ever had and I was very excited about her giving birth. My biggest hope was to be at home and to be with her. As it worked out my husband, a friend and his 9 year old son and I were all here to witness the great event. Whenever I tell people I took photos they all have the same reaction: "Yuck!" It wasn't "yuck" at all, it was wonderful.
I am sure many people have never witnessed the birth of a calf, so I wanted to share these photos.
The entire process took about 20 minutes.

That looks ghastly and I don't see this as better than the current state. Either require dots or forbid them, don't allow them only in some cases which makes it confusing for users (I can use a dot when?) and hard for implementers (see the grammar contortions needed).

The first 20 games of the EPL are over, and therefore the league is more than half way done. From the top to the bottom of the league, players have impressed and shone, and here the best of the best are brought to attention.
Goalkeeper- Petr Cech, Arsenal
Arsenal's defence has never been the most consistent in the world, but Petr Cech has been reliable and often spectacular when called upon for the Gunners. David de Gea and Heurelho Gomes of Manchester United and Watford are also worth some shouts, but for now Petr Cech just edges it.
Right Back- Hector Bellerin, Arsenal
The second Arsenal player on the list, Hector Bellerin has been spectacular since the start of the Premier League season. He's incredibly quick, gets to the byline with consistency, and his defensive game is improving by the week. Nathaniel Clyne has also been very good so far this season.
Centre Back- Chris Smalling, Manchester United
Chris Smalling is doing an amazing job for Manchester United. The centre-back pairing of Daley Blind and Smalling himself has been the most effective in the Premier League, and Louis van Gaal has created a fantastic defensive balance.
Centre Back- Toby Alderweireld, Tottenham Hotspur
The outstanding centre back of this year's English Premier Leaguel, Toby Alderweireld has built on his promising season with Southampton last year to go full out with Tottenham. His passing range is excellent, he's solid in the tackle and he can feed the strikers and midfielders for goals, too.
Left Back- Nacho Monreal, Arsenal
Table toppers Arsenal have really dominated the Premier League thus far, and Nacho Monreal has no doubt been one of their best players. He's developed into a complete defender and, alongside Luke Shaw and Cesar Azpilicueta, one of the best left backs in the Premier League in recent times.
Central Midfield- Ross Barkley, Everton
This midfield unit is not a great example of a defensively balanced midfield, but nevertheless, Ross Barkley has been so good, he warrants a selection over most midfielders so far. Barkley is scoring goals, racking up assists and has struck up a great partnership with Romelu Lukaku.
Central Midfield- N'Golo Kante, Leicester City
The top midfielder this season is Leicester's N'Golo Kante, and by quite some distance too. His physical attributes offer the best combination of pace and power to feed Leicester's counter attacking system. He's been everything we expect from Yaya Toure and more this season.
Attacking Midfield- Riyad Mahrez, Leicester City
Riyad Mahrez has arguably been THE best player in the Premier League so far this season, cutting in from the right wing with great effect for Leicester. 13 goals and 7 assists in 20 games, some of which Mahrez missed, is a nearly unrivalled tally across the Premier League.
Attacking Midfield- Mesut Ozil, Arsenal
Mesut Ozil has been one of the best players in the Premier League so far this season, racking up 16 assists and 4 goals to take Arsenal to the top of the league. The all-time record for assists, set by Thierry Henry, is 20 in a Premier League season, and Ozil has 16 at the half way point. He looks ready to smash more than just one record while trying to take Arsenal to the title.
Striker- Jamie Vardy, Leicester City
Jamie Vardy broke the record for most consecutive matches in which he scored an English Premier League goal. He's currently tied at the top of the Premier League scoring charts, and along with Mahrez and Kante he's been carrying Leicester into the title race. Leicester has dried up with the goals as of late, and his conversion rates are far lower than others, but he has done more than enough to edge Odion Ighalo for the second striker spot in this list.
Striker- Romelu Lukaku, Everton
Romelu Lukaku is the outstanding striker in the Premier League this season. His powerful running and hold up play in the air and in the ground, has been superb all season, and his 15 goals and 5 assists is very, very good as well. Expect some big clubs to be hunting after Lukaku in January and July.
Disagree with any of my selections? Let me know your opinions in the comments or on Twitter @aaronm830_blog

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics or otherwise known as the Soviet Union or the USSR was the first Socialist Republic ever established, due to the October Revolution of 1917. Governed by a single-party state, it was mainly a dictatorship. A union of several republics kept the nation going for two decades until its collapse. During the Great European War, the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact was signed with Nazi Germany, allowing the occupation of the Baltic Republics and a large portion of the Second Polish Republic.
See Pre-Eruption History of the USSR
Directly after the eruption of Yellowstone the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics were left mostly untouched for the first few years. However, due to polar ice caps melting northern territories such as Franz Josef Land, Novoya Zemlya, and much of the Kola Peninsula have been heavily flooded by rising water levels. Much of the population living in northern or coastal areas fled south down the Volga River in areas near the Moscow Oblast, Ukraine, the Caucasus, and Central Asia.
Decades after the event temperature have started to plummet towards extreme lows in northern regions. Crop seasons are limited to less than two months in most areas. Rations are handed out during months where food shortages are assumed due to crop failure. Many farmers retreat to Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova to find fertile land. New territories in which crops are grown in concentration are unofficially nicknamed "Breadbasket Territories". Vasts amounts of farmland have been established and paid for by the government. Even with the effort of these agricultural zones, famine periods still commonly appear during the winter because of difficult transportation further within the mainland.
As more depend on the Soviet government for food during the famine periods, burglary highly increased within the Soviet Union. Many begin to steal or even kill others for food. The rising issue soon reaches the attention of the Soviet Stavka, which forms the Narodnoy Politsii (People's Police), lead by the Communist Party. Primarily made up of volunteers in smaller towns and villages across the country side, conscription often occurs during colder seasons.
In the late 30s and early 40s the Soviet Union has helped the German Invasion of Poland during the Great European War, acquiring large quantities of former territory that formerly belonged to the empire. During this time period great famine has hit Soviet Union, and many begin to protest against the Marxist-Leninist Bolshevik Party currently ruling the nation. Two years after the acquirement of Poland many nationalists begin to speak out against the government. Soldiers of the Red Army begin to defect and the population rise up in arms. Thus sparking the Second Russian Civil War.

Bring on the Future
SERIES: No Fear Living
Deuteronomy 33 KJV
24 And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.
25 Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.
Three-Fold Promise
1. God will give strength for every day of the year.
2 Corinthians 4 KJV
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
Matthew 6 NLT
34 So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.
Exodus 16 GNV
16 The Lord has commanded that each of you is to gather as much of it as he needs, two quarts for each member of his household."
17 The Israelites did this, some gathering more, others less.
18 When they measured it, those who gathered much did not have too much, and those who gathered less did not have too little. Each had gathered just what he needed.
19 Moses said to them, "No one is to keep any of it for tomorrow."
20 But some of them did not listen to Moses and saved part of it. The next morning it was full of worms and smelled rotten, and Moses was angry with them.
2. Strength for every kind of day of the year.
3. God will give you strength for everyday until the end of your days.
Deuteronomy 34 GNV
5 So Moses, the Lord's servant, died there in the land of Moab, as the Lord had said he would.
6 The Lord buried him in a valley in Moab, opposite the town of Bethpeor, but to this day no one knows the exact place of his burial.
7 Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died; he was as strong as ever, and his eyesight was still good.
Joshua 14 GNV
6 One day some people from the tribe of Judah came to Joshua at Gilgal. One of them, Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, said to him, "You know what the Lord said in Kadesh Barnea about you and me to Moses, the man of God.
7 I was forty years old when the Lord's servant Moses sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out this land. I brought an honest report back to him.
8 The men who went with me, however, made our people afraid. But I faithfully obeyed the Lord my God.
9 Because I did, Moses promised me that my children and I would certainly receive as our possession the land which I walked over.
10 But now, look. It has been forty-five years since the Lord said that to Moses. That was when Israel was going through the desert, and the Lord, as he promised, has kept me alive ever since. Look at me! I am eighty-five years old
11 and am just as strong today as I was when Moses sent me out. I am still strong enough for war or for anything else.
12 Now then, give me the hill country that the Lord promised me on that day when my men and I reported. We told you then that the race of giants called the Anakim were there in large walled cities. Maybe the Lord will be with me, and I will drive them out, just as the Lord said."
Isaiah 40 GNV
29 He strengthens those who are weak and tired.
30 Even those who are young grow weak; young people can fall exhausted.
31 But those who trust in the Lord for help will find their strength renewed. They will rise on wings like eagles; they will run and not get weary; they will walk and not grow weak.
There is one thing humans can do that God cannot do break a promise.

Three Creeps In A Car (no im not including myself)
This is the epic journey of three literary heroes (in my car). The first, Telemachus, is one of the characters from Homer's The Odyssey. The second, is the famous poet Edgar Allen Poe, known for writing the Raven, as well as many other established works of poetry. The last is a character from the award winning series The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb, known only as the fool. This might get a little freaky. Enjoy.

NIS and LDAP support storing IPv6 data, as well as using IPv6 transports for protocol traffic. Beginning with BIND version 8.3.3, DNS in the Oracle Solaris release supports the use of IPv6 transports on the client side. As of BIND version 8.4.2, DNS provides a complete client-server solution over IPv6 networks.
The nsswitch.conf file controls search criteria for IPv6 addresses. IPv6 increases the IP address size from 32 bits to 128 bits to support more levels of addressing hierarchy. A larger address size provides a greater number of addressable nodes. For more information about IPv6, its configuration and implementation, see System Administration Guide: IP Services.
Use the new ipnodes source for IPv6 addresses. The /etc/inet/ipnodes file stores both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The /etc/inet/ipnodes file uses the same format convention as the /etc/hosts file.
IPv6 aware naming services use the new ipnodes source for its search forwarding. For instance, if LDAP is aware of IPv6 addresses, specify the following.
ipnodes: ldap [NOTFOUND=return] files

I am happy to present today the latest review of Employment and Social Developments in Europe.
Let me share with you the key findings. First, the good news – I would like to start with some positive developments observed in the last year:
- Unemployment has continued to decrease. The economic recovery continued and employment has continued to increase for most sectors and for all age groups.
- Permanent and full-time jobs have also increased.
- There are more women, and people aged over 50 working.
- More young people are back in jobs or engaged in education and training – our actions in the fight against youth unemployment are beginning to bear fruit.
- And last but not least: Households have benefited from a rise in their disposable income.
Despite these improvements, the effects of the crisis are still being felt. Even more worrying, our review reveals that the crisis has widened the disparities across and within EU countries.
- Employment rates vary tremendously, from just 55% in Greece to 81% in Sweden.
- Although unemployment has decreased in the countries hit hardest by the crisis, unemployment rates are still over 20% in Spain and Greece. By contrast, for Germany it is as low as 5%.
- The large scale use of temporary contracts does not always lead to permanent contracts. In some countries like Cyprus, close to 95% of all temporary contracts are involuntary, while in Austria they are only around 9%
The situation is particularly worrying for disadvantaged groups, again with broad disparities by countries:
- Youth unemployment is still over 40% in Greece, Croatia and Italy.
- The employment rate of older workers is only 34% in Greece, while it reaches 74% in Sweden.
- And there remains a significant gap in employment between men and women.
In short, divergence between EU Member States has further increased. These disparities are unacceptable because they hamper growth and erode the confidence of people in a truly 'social' Europe.
This year's analysis serves as a compass to create the quality jobs and inclusive growth that people in Europe so much need. Allow me to focus on what I believe are the key issues.
First, the importance of labour and social legislation for job creation. This year's report documents growing labour market segmentation, leading to an uneven distribution of jobs opportunities and more precarious lives for some of our citizens. To address these changes in the world of work, the European Commission is proposing to bring forward a European Pillar of Social Rights. This will be a reference framework based on the values and principles that mark the essence of the 21st century social market economy. It should make our labour markets and the European social market economy more resilient and ensure that we can achieve both flexibility and security in a fast-changing world. In this context we are working on a wider review of our occupational health and safety legislation as well as ways to improve people's work-life balance and women's participation in the labour market.
Second, the need to invest in and make better use of EU's workforce. Despite high unemployment, many employers report difficulties in recruiting staff with the right skills.The EU must therefore address skills mismatches. We need to better anticipate the needs of employers and make better use of existing skills. The Commission will propose a New Skills Agenda for Europe later this year to help close the skills gap. At the same time, mobility of workers within the EU can ensure a better use of skills and knowledge. Labour mobility has helped reduce unemployment in some countries, while filling vacancies in others, and contributes positively to growth. However, mobility remains limited, with only 4% of people born in the EU living in another Member State. Our labour mobility proposal currently in preparation seeks to broaden opportunities for all while ensuring the rules are clear, fair and enforceable.
And let me come to the final third point, the crucial role of social dialogue for achieving inclusive recovery. It is clear that the challenges ahead present a joint mission with concerted efforts al levels: European, national, regional and mobilising our social partners.
To conclude, the 2015 review of Employment and Social Developments demonstrates an urgent need to increase our efforts to return to convergence, both economic and social. Instead of drifting apart, we need to grow together in Europe. The Commission is committed to this goal. Jobs and Growth remain our number one priority. Following recent initiatives on the integration of the long-term unemployed, the Youth Guarantee and the Youth Employment Initiative, this year we will take forward work on proposals for a European Pillar of Social Rights, on labour mobility and on skills. We will continue working side by side with the social partners to achieve an inclusive recovery. There is much more work to do, but I am absolutely determined to make a "social triple A" for Europe a reality.
Thank you.
