How do you make somebody cry ?
How do you make somebody cry ?
How do you make somebody cry ?
Good Lord !!! why do you even want to make anyone cry? is'nt there enough crying in this world?
i think it is a lot better to make people smile rather then cry.
How do you make somebody cry out of happiness then ?
i guess that to fullfill their heart's desire within your reach, i think that the only time people cry with happiness is when they get what they have always wanted and for some reason or other were never able to get it. maybe others will be better able to advice you in this matter.
Just save somebody's life to make them cry out of happiness.
(And yet, I cannot help but feel the unintentional philosophical nature of the question deserves a more serious answer. Hmm.)
A poke in the eye usually works pretty well.
maybe if you faked your near death, or your death, and then all of a sudden you gain energy, or life. That might work, unless of course the person doesn't care After that you may not want to tell anybody what you did, you might make some people angry.
OP just answered his own riddle?
Why would you want to make someone cry anyway?
I think it's only nice to make somebody cry of happiness and not of sadness
Odd question but I can get my mom crying while we are playing a board game sometimes.
She laughs so hard that she starts to cry but it depends on the person more than the situation it seams.
If you're the type that wants your way than making somebody cry out of happiness and or enlightening somebody will get you a lot of what you want.
yes i think this is excellent
make them watch a really sad or touching film. something that deals with life and love. it works most of the time.
ah... use crying gas??
Find a little kid and punch him in the face... don't anybody do that, just one way...
By asking that question! cry, cry!
that's horrible.
i agree with one person though: make them laugh so hard, they start crying. happened more than once on occasions with friends.
The most effective way would definitely be to slice onions near them. =)
Great idea. =)
Tear gas works better though. =o
This obviously depends on the person! Everyone cries for different reasons. I even know someone who doesn't cry when they cut onions or anything!
oh, i make them feel so sad, maybe they will cry.
when you meet a Child. you bit him. imediatetly he will cry
do you think so???
just punch him xD
A quick slice to their Achilles tendon will do it.
Okey here is my tips a quick smack in here body part .
find their inner most fears and exploit them
Make them fall in love with you and torture them with it...
wow that is harsh. But, what exactly do you mean by, "torture them with it?"
well flirt with them make them want more and more then drag yourself away with someone else then make them fall more for you flirting etc etc doing things to make em feel good and pull yourself away cheat etc etc
That's cruel I meant I want to bring out peoples emotions not murder their happiness.
Sorry i misunderstood you i thought you wanted to hurt someone, i only have that suggestion because of first hand experience of how much it hurts and makes me cry....
Well talk to them, get them to trust you and indulge you to there deepest innermost fears and things that make them sad that will make them show the emotions they hide away from the world.
If the person you want to tell you there emotions is a man you will have a hard time women think that men have less emotions than women, its not true we all have the same its just that men wont show emotion because they cant in the society we live in without being teased and stereotyped as gay, that's one of the things i hate about being a man, that i cant show emotion because people will attack me and humiliate me for it.
Yes; that does work..... sad topic!!
i'd better make them laugh rather than make them cry....
You could tell them all their faults.
That could work
One of the great things about writing is the power to move people. I have curled up with a good book and been made to feel angry, afraid, upset and laugh so hard I start snorting.
Sadly, for most writers, the reactions can only be imagined and never witnessed, but I think that to weave a tale in such a way that merely by tapping words onto a screen that ultimately make people half a world a way laugh, cry, hate you and love you is unbeatable.
By hurting their feelings Making them feel disappointed
If someone ever made you cry, you know how felt Why would you want to make anybody feel the same way ?
As told earlier, onion is the best weapon. If you can beat them up, it will also work... but for that you need to have better physical abilities than the subject.
To talk to him all the time and forbid him to leave....
Tell somebody he is a fool.
Movies can still move me. Provided I am paying attention and into the movie. Not many of them though, and more the older ones, as I really think the quality of movies ain't what they used to be, quite plastic and bloodthirsty leaving little space for the imagination to do its work properly.
It's best to tell him or her a sad story.
Or hurt his feeling.
Lol for the first i want to know why you want to make a people cry ? Is it good for you . Or if they are crying then you would happy with that? But i think i will make they cry by hit them and punch them ! Haha
take away your trust with them.. =\
taking some ones trust is not good at all, because it hurts both the parties. if you break the trust of a person then he or she may not be able to trust not only you but others for that matter, and there is also this that other people may not be able to trust you or your judgment just because you took away a person's trust and hurt that person in a way that he or she may ever be able to recover.
so my suggestion is that never try to break a person's trust just to make them cry or in fun or in any way. it really hurts.
Why would you want to make somebody cry? I guess you could tie them to a chair and drip water on their head... that's a Chinese torture trick that will make anyone cry/go mental.
Rub onions in their eyes.
That's the best answer if you ask me ahahahhahaha
A life without tears can be a difficult one. It might even be emotionally or physically damaging. Tears are a way to release inner tension, stress that might be building up. There are other ways to deal with greaving but sometimes other ways may be not available or healthy.
Actually, most women don't think men have less emotions at all but realize that emotional outlets like crying are difficult for them. Perhaps it is not the inability to cry that is the problem for if a man does not feel insecure about his manhood would not have a problem doing anything he felt like doing. What the problem might be as Parkour_Jarrod points out is the 'reaction' of a person that sees the other person crying.
Some people just can't handle it or don't know how to react. I think the best example of a manly cry would be that of a soldier not on duty time or in basic training reading a letter from home. I do think other comrades would respect that and if anyone did object would most definitily get the thumbs down and told off so as leave this hero alone!
Anyone crying can be approached with compasion. Really that emotion can be a postive one.
Definitely onions!
By touching their weak human heart
* note: not literally
I wouldn't want to make someone cry. But I suppose if I did want to, I would poke their eyes, then rub salt in their eyes. Just kidding, I would probably bring up the death of someone close to them... thats evil though
Boy or girl? if you mean a boy that will be a hard job. But if you mean a girl, first make her love you and then abandoned her. Yeah,,, I am devil...
But just for kinding, if you do something really romatic your girl maybe too happy to cry...
Just tell him he is very stupid.
Just slap ém ;P
Being mean and sarcastic.
well u insult them, harass them or punch them or to the one's they love. btw why would anyone want to know this?
Force them to eat my stepdads homemade hot sauce; it has made many people cry!
Making someone cry is really pretty easy to do...being able to get them to stop crying is really much more difficult...and much more rewarding.
How to make someone cry?
1 - Let them watch a couple hours of Spielberg bastardizing a Kubrick story.
2 - Take them on a space ship through a black hole into an alternate Universe where Cliff Burton didn't die. Then play the St. Anger album for them in it's entirety, over and over, on the trip back home.
3 - Do this.
I'd say you find out where someone is most vulnerable and then aggravate it like pouring salt into a wound....
Or, my preference, you could tell them something AMAZINGLY HILARIOUS, then they'd cry of joy! Or you could change their life, and they'd cry from joy and gratitude. Or you could love someone completely in a way they've never before felt, that'd be one to cry over as well.
I much prefer the tears of joy.
If it's a woman, and you tell her every time you see it how fat she is (it doesn't matter if she is or not) she would probably cry. But, to do this is a VERY inmature act, so, don't do it kids!
I'm sure not women cry if you call them fat, we're not all that vain
a joke would make people cry in happiness, unless that person have no sense of humor
blow some dust into the person eyes and some of us do cry (though not for long)
is there not a saying that some cry during sex?
a brave person will stand firm even when humiliated or intimidated
but if the death don't make you cry, I don't know what will
Punch him/her
Somebody finally answers the question, instead of the philosophical/moral/ethical/niceness bullcrapping around that everybody seems to be doing. He asked how to make someone cry, not for a lesson from the Bible, you fools.
Acceptable answers include: Onions, Tear Gas, Violence, Pain, and exploiting their fears, controlling loved ones, being mean, and general viciousness. And yes... you can make someone cry out of happiness, but that isn't the easiest or the most effective way to make someone cry.
I am only being coldly logical.
One thing works better than others though...
...canceling his/her frihost account.
I dont want to make any one cry rather i want to make any one laugh but anyways if the person is my enimy i will make him cry by finding his weakness and strucking hard to it
Kill their pet. Kill their family. Torture their family. Punch them in the balls (or the vag if they are female), pretend you're going to kill them, make them watch Marley & Me...
Making someone cry out of happiness is harder. Unless you are a guy, and you have a girlfriend that wants to get married and you propose to her one night and surprise her, it's hard to do without them winning the lottery.
There's so many ways. Be creative. But it's an evil thing to explore.
I wouldn't want to make anybody cry because I had been unkind.....
Tears of joy are ok though
A good tickle might be fun....haha
Fire him or her.
man that's crazy. It'll be fine if you're interested in making people happy instead
by surprising with something they have longed for a long time and never got it. yes u could make someone cry with the kind of gesture.
To make someone cry of happiness is pretty tough actually. Too many factors to take care of. On the contrary, to make someone cry of sadness yet be "merciful" is to simply cry in front of a best friend/lover that is very emotional. They tend to cry with you!
give them a great gift. and they will break down crying. its so easy!
I don't!
I'm too nice ):
If the person you wanna make cry have a pet, kill that pet. If he/she doesn't have a pet, kill one of their relatives lol!
If you wan't someone to cry of happiness, Buy them a house and lot! That is if you're rich
This is the fastest way for a short skinny person. But for a budy builder... I think that it works better with words
Punch him right in the gonads, her right in the baby maker.
you hit them really hard with a baseball bat and hope that they dont hit you back. oh and my friend cries a lot over the most retarded things. all you have to do is make fun of him in any way possible and he sheds tears. psh
Sometimes people need to cry of happiness because they probably don't cry at all and that means that they've had a very hard life and they need that one person to come into their lives and let them breathe and spread their wings :)
Do divorce or insult Your wife. Your mother will cry at once.
Well my mother tells me I am NOT her son.
When I can't do what she wants me to do, when she wants it done and exactly how she wants it done.
Needless to say, I hear that alot and am now used to that comment.
She needs to wake up and her manure!

To Help the World's Poor, Give Them Real JobsBy
The latest U.S. jobs numbers showed a U.S. unemployment rate still at 7.6 percent. The official global unemployment rate, compiled by the International Labor Organization (ILO), is around 6 percent—which suggests American workers are worse off than their counterparts worldwide. But that statistic is deeply misleading. Unemployment is, by and large, a luxury of rich countries. Billions of people across the world are stuck working long hours in subsistence farming, hawking, or other informal occupations, desperate for a job that provides a weekly wage packet. Solving this underemployment problem is the biggest key to the challenge of economic development worldwide.
In surveys about people's biggest concerns worldwide, income and employment pretty much always come out on top (PDF). Polls across countries also suggest that losing a job is one of the biggest possible hits to self-reported happiness. At a first glance at the data, you might think the misery of joblessness was a rich-world problem. According to the ILO, Pakistan has an unemployment rate of just 5.2 percent, for example, and India's is at 4.2 percent.
The majority of Pakistan's and India's populations work in small-scale farming or are "self employed" in informal microenterprises. That's true across much of the developing world. The National Bureau of Economic Research's Rafael La Porta and Andrei Shleifer suggest that, in the poorest countries, more than two-thirds of the labor force is working on the family farm or is in the informal sector.
Farms managed by the world's poorest people tend to be small and inefficient—demanding a lot of labor for little output. That's why families farming them make up the bulk of the world's population living on less than $1.25 a day. The majority of enterprises run by the world's poorest are shops and kiosks making a few sales a day—general stores, tailor shops, telephone booths, or fruit or vegetable businesses. In India, data collated by MIT's Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo suggest the average shop run by people living in poverty makes a profit of just $133 a year. That low productivity helps to explain why, even though only around 200 million people in the world are considered unemployed by the ILO, 1.3 billion workers lived in families below the $2-a-day poverty line.
Banerjee and Duflo point out that some of the richer people in the developing world are comparatively successful entrepreneurs who've worked their way into the global middle class—earning enough to put their household income at somewhere above half the U.S. poverty line. For example, almost half of the rural population of Indonesia earning between $6 and $10 a day is self-employed. But worldwide, by far the most common way out of poverty in rural and urban areas alike is getting a job working for a company.
Economists Andrew Foster and Mark Rosenzweig (PDF) looked at rural poverty in India between 1982 and 1999 to see what forces had increased the incomes of the poorest. They found that growing agricultural productivity had played a big role. But expanding factory employment was twice as important in explaining rising rural wages. And in urban areas, more than two-thirds of those living on $2 to $4 a day across the developing world are in paid employment, while the proportion climbs even higher among those in the $6 to $10 category. Having a regular, paying job "may thus be the most important difference between the poor and the middle class," conclude Banerjee and Duflo.
The problem is that while some jobs pay regularly in developing countries, there aren't nearly enough for the number of people who want them. According to firm survey data reported by the ILO, China had fewer people in paid employment than the U.S. in 2008—115 million compared with 137 million—despite being home to four times the population. Labor force surveys suggest Pakistan has fewer paid employees than France—18 million compared with 23 million. That's about one paid job for every 10 people in Pakistan, compared with a ratio nearly one-to-three in France.
Of course, the recent garment factory collapse in Bangladesh, where the 1,000-plus workers who died were earning about $40 a month, shows that "well paid" and "good" are relative terms when it comes to employment on the global scale. Factory workers in India's garment industry complain of physical and verbal abuse alongside poverty pay. Meanwhile, China has approximately 60 million "dispatch workers"—temps who get few of the rights associated with full-time employment, such as overtime and severance pay alongside insurance.
Nonetheless, these jobs are still better than other options—such as begging or hawking on the street or subsistence farming. Making more money is, in and of itself, a life saver. Survey evidence suggests that being in the bottom fifth of India's income distribution means your children have around a 12 percent chance of dying before their fifth birthday, compared with a countrywide average of closer to 8 percent, for example.
So for all of the grind of the 9-to-5, the great majority of the planet would be absolutely delighted to get a position with regular hours and a regular paycheck. And successful economic development—significantly raising incomes above subsistence—is about helping people achieve that dream.
That suggests something about the priorities of governments worldwide when it comes to promoting development. In the long term, economic development is about moving millions off the small farm and into jobs. Microfinance initiatives, which allow the poorest of the poor to make a little more from their farms and kiosk operations, can have a real impact on quality of life—but it isn't going to catapult a large proportion of the population into the global middle class. Making people's existing opportunities a little better is laudable, but giving them new opportunities is the better solution overall. Manufacturing, modern services, and export-led growth remain central to that effort.
And in the end, good jobs require a strong economy. That's as true around the world as it is in the U.S.

It was meant to be the heralded start of Sydney's new jewel, The Championships, but Canberra trainer Neil Osborne said the Randwick track "wasn't fit for a pig" after emerging star I Am Snippety was put down after breaking her off-foreleg in the group 3 Kindergarten Stakes (1100 metres) on Saturday.
Osborne questioned why racing authorities had spent $190 million on a "white elephant of a grandstand", but turned out a track veteran jockey Jim Cassidy rated as the heaviest he'd ever ridden on at Randwick.
I Am Snippety made her group-level debut in tremendous form, having romped to victory in the $100,000 Wellington Boot (1100m) last start, but it all went terribly wrong as she led the Kindergarten field into the home straight.
The two-year-old filly stumbled in the mud at the top of the straight and apprentice jockey Winona Costin eased her out of the race. I Am Snippety could not be saved.
Osborne was devastated at losing "such a lovely little animal" and was concerned with how Costin was coping.
"They spent $190 million on a white elephant of a grandstand and spent nothing on the track that the horse have got to gallop on, and that track today isn't fit for pigs to race on," Osborne said.
"It's a pig paddock. Jim Cassidy said it's the heaviest Randwick track he's ever ridden on.
"Surely we can spend the money on the facilities for the things that put the show on, the horses."
Osborne said there were holes in the track "you could hide a rabbit in".
He bred the filly, along with her mother Snippety Day, and it was the third generation of the family Osborne had raced, handling her grandmother Fatina as well.
I Am Snippety had gone into the race in fantastic form, having finished fourth in Canberra's $275,000 Black Opal Stakes (1200m) and winning the Wellington Boot by 6.5 lengths.
Legendary trainer Bart Cummings and his grandson James captured the Kindergarten with lightly raced colt Hallowed Crown.
Hallowed Crown showed superior acceleration to score a debut win in midweek company last month and was just as adept on the heavy track on Saturday.
Settling with the backmarkers, Hallowed Crown ($12) improved his position before the turn and put paid to the leaders to score by 1-1/4 lengths over first starter Washington Heights ($7.50) with Klammer ($7.50), which finished third in the Black Opal, the same margin away third.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A local Republican LGBTQ group says they have been denied entry to this year's Charlotte Pride Parade solely because they support President Donald Trump.
"What should offend any American about that is beyond me," founder Brian Talbert said.
Talbert says he remembers participating in the first Charlotte Pride Parade, in 2000.
"We had more protesters then we had participants," he recalled. "We got spit on, we got thrown rocks at us. It wasn't the party of today."
That's why he says he was excited to attend this year. So excited, in fact, that he and a group of friends decided to enter a float in the parade.
"We also wanted to represent our 45th president," Talbert explained. "It was going to be pro-American, pro-Trump, pro-gay."
But Charlotte Pride denied their request.
A representative of the event refused an on camera interview but told NBC Charlotte in a statement:
Charlotte Pride reserves the right to decline participation at our events to groups or organizations which do not reflect the mission, vision and values of our organization, as is acknowledged in our parade rules and regulations by all groups at the time of their parade application. In the past, we have made similar decisions to decline participation from other organizations espousing anti-LGBTQ religious or public policy stances.
Charlotte Pride envisions a world in which LGBTQ people are affirmed, respected, and included in the full social and civic life of their local communities, free from fear of any discrimination, rejection, and prejudice.Charlotte Pride invites all individuals, groups, organizations and causes which share our values to join our community's celebration of the LGBTQ community, history, arts and culture during the Charlotte Pride Festival and Parade, Aug. 26-27, 2017.
But Talbert says they are being hypocritical of the inclusiveness they claim to represent.
"Start being proud of your country and stop being ashamed of the diversity that you claim to represent," he said.
"The only discrimination I'm receiving is from the gay community."
He formed an organization with other gay Republicans called "Deplorable Pride."
They plan on hosting their own parade and have already received $8,000 in donations.
Mostly, he says, from straight Republicans.
"To vilify each other for how we voted is wrong," he said. "I'm going to stand up for my American right."

Background: Font color:
Sirius had gotten up enough courage to go back to Elizabeth's house. He had seen that days paper, and knew she was in St. Mungo's. He would hang out there with Gabby. When he got to the door he howled just like he had the first day. Gabby opened the door, and Sirius started to whine.
"Fritzle! Where have you been! I was afraid you ran away! You've been gone forever you bad pup."
He whined again
"Elizabeth isn't here Fritz, she back at the awful white place."
Gabby sat on the couch and Sirius followed her
"I tried to get her out, but they think she's nuts"
Sirius sat next to her and whined
"Ya know what Fritzle! Sometimes I swear you can understand me!"
Sirius chuckled inside his head
....................Back at hogwarts.................
Hermione was sitting on the couch grieving over the fact that she was "boring". When she saw an owl she hadn't seen for a long time fly in. It was Hedwig, and she was carrying a note. Hermione immediately recognized Harry's handwriting. It was Harry's owl and Harry's handwriting, so it was quiet obvious that this, whatever it was, was from Harry. If the envelope hadn't been white she would have suspected a howler. Even if it wasn't a howler, this could be the most insulting thing she ever read. Hermione had no doubt in her mind that Harry and Ron hated her guts, but what did she have to lose? She picked up the envelope, and began to tear it open. Then she stopped. If something really insulting was in it, could she take it? She wasn't sure. She stuck the letter in her trunk and decided to open it "eventually". She looked at her watch and realized that she was late, for Ancient Ruins. She got her books and ran out the door.
.....................and a few days later by the Arithmancy corridor.................
Harry was and feeling gloomy. Hedwig had returned a few days ago with no response from Hermione. She hadn�t made any sign of even reading the note, either. He walked past a tarp, it was quite strange it had a flowery print, yet it was Eygptianish (is that even a word?) Then Harry had yet another flashback
*~Elizabeth was staying in my room with me and James and Sirius were staying in the Gryfinndor Common room.
"Wow I never noticed this tarp!" said Elizabeth
"Yeah I know the feeling, and I took Arithmancy for 5 years!"
"So this is your home away from home?"
"Correction, I don't have a home, remember, when I'm not here I stay at your house." I said
"Oh yeah, I forgot. Not that I don't love having you around in the Summer, but shouldn't you spend
sometime with Petunia?"
"You saw the way Petunia and her fianc� treated me at my mother's funeral. Do you honestly think I want to go visit her? She hates me."
"I guess your right. Plus if you went to visit her I wouldn't have any company in the summer!"
I pulled the magic rest airmatress out from under my bed. Said the spell and it started blowing itself up. Then
I said good night to Elizabeth and fell asleep~*.
So behind this tarp was his mom's old room. He had the urge to go in there and see what it looked like, but decided against it. He had no idea what was in that room now, it could be Flitwick's bedroom or something. While he was debating what was in there he heard a familiar voice behind him.
"Hi Harry"
He turned around although he didn't really need to, he already knew who it was.
"Hi Hermione."
There was an awkward silence.
"So have you ever seen this before?"
"Seen what?"
"What????????" Hermione looked confused
"Have you ever seen this tarp?"
"What tarp?"
"This tarp!" Harry was getting frustrated! She was looking straight at it and she still couldn't get it. Hermione blinked several times then shut her eyes and slowly opened them.
"Wow! I've taken Arithmancy since third year! I've never really noticed it."
"It's strange isn't it?"
"yeah, very."
They talked as they walked down the hall. Hermione did most of the talking. Then she asked
"Harry how could you see the tarp and I couldn't?"
"It's a long story"
"Come on! Tell me!"
"O.k. Remember the day we were looking at Hogwarts a History."
"Yes, we were talking about Professor Flictwick and your mom."
"Well when my mom was a teacher here, behind the tarp was her room."
"Harry how do you know that?"
"If I tell you you'll never believe me."
"Harry of course I will enough weird stuff happens to you that I basically have to believe it all!"
"I guess your right, ok I'll tell you. Look on the night we got back............."
"Harry! Fred sent me looking for you! They're all on the quidditch field and........ Oh hi Hermione." said Ron
said Hermione's name like you would say meatloaf, something no one really liked.
"Look Hermione I have to go, they're waiting. I'll tell you later o.k.?"
"Alright Harry. I see ya bye."
And Harry took off running down the corridor after Ron.

Debate raged at the Capitol on Wednesday over Republican plans to close the school employee retirement system to new members, as a new Senate Fiscal Agency report pegged the cost of the legislation at $1.6 billion to $3.8 billion over five years.
The sponsor of the legislation, Sen. Phil Pavlov, R-St. Clair Township, did not dispute that the upfront cost could be $1.6 billion over five years, with about $214 million of that borne by school districts and the balance borne by the state.
But he said the move is still needed because otherwise the current Michigan Public School Employees Retirement System will continue to accrue new unfunded liabilities.
"It's our mortgage," Pavlov told the Free Press. "It costs what it costs."
The Senate Appropriations Committee is taking up legislation today, over the objections of school employees, to force new hires into a 401(k) style pension plan, instead of the blended pension and 401(k) system they can use now, known as the hybrid system.
Democrats denounced the legislation, noting that while MPSERS has an unfunded actuarial liability pegged at about $26.7 billion, the hybrid system has no unfunded liability.
"I'm trying to figure out what problem we are trying to solve," said Sen. Curtis Hertel, D-East Lansing, who questioned what impact the change would have on recruiting and retaining good teachers.
Pavlov's legislation does not call for accelerated funding, which the Senate Fiscal Agency report said would be consistent with best practices, which would push the five-year costs of the legislation to $3.8 billion.
"We're protecting current retirees, future retirees, and taxpayers with these measures," Pavlov said.
Senate Majority Leader Arlan Meekhof, R-West Olive, told reporters at the Capitol on Tuesday he expects the bills to be reported out of committee this morning and pass the full Senate later today.
Under 2012 legislation affecting the Michigan Public School Employees Retirement System, which modified earlier changes made under former Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm, new school hires can't fully participate in the defined-benefit pension plan that longer-serving school employees participate in. Instead, they can join a smaller traditional pension, combined with a defined contribution plan.
Gov. Rick Snyder said last week that hybrid system for school employees is working well, and union leaders and some analysts say the state would face significant upfront costs to bolster the existing pension system system if all new hires are forced into 401(k) style plans.
Senate Bill 102, sponsored by Sen. Phil Pavlov, R-St. Clair Township, which the Senate Appropriations Committee took up today, would do just that. Meekhof suggested Tuesday the legislation will be modified to moderate any upfront costs. Pavlov has also introduced Senate Bills 1177 and 1178, addressing school employee retirement.
According to a Senate Fiscal Agency report released today, MPSERS had an unfunded actuarial liability of $26.7 billion as of 2015. The hybrid system has no unfunded liability, according to Senate Fiscal Agency analyst Kathryn Summers, but money is being paid today to avoid potential risk in future years.
The fiscal agency report also said closing MPSERS to new members could result in significant additional short-term costs, if best practices are followed, including $2.1 billion over five years in recommended accelerated funding, plus significant additional costs in increased funding related to shifting to a more conservative investment strategy, which would be recommended without new member money coming into the pension system, the report said.
Total costs, including expected impacts on other pension plans, could total $1.6 billion to $3.8 billion over five years, the report said.
The $1.6 billion cost includes $1.2 billion related to lower rates of return in MPSERS investments, $218 million in additional retirement contribution costs, borne by school districts, and $218 million related to lower investment returns that would be experienced by other state retirement systems, mainly the system for state employees, according to the report.
However, moving to a defined contribution system "would eliminate the potential for future unfunded accrued liabilities," the report said.
Sen. Dave Hildenbrand, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, stressed that the legislation would have no effect on pensions already earned, existing employees, or retiree health care.
For new employees, "we're giving them a modern, portable retirement system that will be fully funded, that they're in control of," Hildenbrand said.
Senate Minority Leader Jim Sen. Jim Ananich. D-Flint, said Republicans shouldn't expect support from Democrats, and that''s especially true if they go beyond the MPSERS system and try to reduce retirement benefits for workers at the local government level.
"We're hearing about some earned benefit cuts that Republicans want to take up," Ananich said Tuesday. "That's the exact wrong direction that we want to go. People across Michigan sent a big message on election day – they want more economic security, not less.
"To take away from people who have been working hard – police officers and firemen and teachers – they say it's only going to be the new folks, but they always say that. They won't get any support from my caucus members and I think we'll have unified support in the House as well."
Starting in 1997, all new state employees were forced into 401(k) plans.

Life isn't easy for Britain's top female biathlete. Emma Fowler may have qualified for this year's Turin Winter Olympics, but the 27-year-old soldier faces familiar hurdles for those involved in fringe sports, like cuts in funding from UK Sport and media indifference. But today Fowler has a different problem. Outside her hotel in Austria's Pillerseetal, the sun is beating down and her competitors in this exacting combination of skiing and shooting are wandering around in T-shirts.
"It's a bit weird," she says. "We're used to wearing thermals and Lycra, but when the temperature hits 10C, you just want to strip off. You can feel the heat blowing across you. But you just have to get on with it. It's the same for all the other athletes."
The tunnels and switchbacks at Hochfilzen are more like a grand prix circuit than a traditional cross country circuit, its facilities upgraded when the village hosted the World Championships last year. The reason for all this investment is obvious from the staggering number of television cameras around the course and the media hutches overlooking the shooting range. Fowler may be unknown in her own country, but biathlon is increasingly popular elsewhere in Europe, especially Germany which has produced many of the sport's recent stars such as Kati Wilhelm and the now retired legend Uschi Diesl. Television audiences for biathlon in Germany top five million.
At least the circuit at Hochfilzen is open in time for the second biathlon World Cup event of the year. Across Europe this season, skiing events have more often been cancelled than not, as organisers contemplate conditions more usually seen in October than December. Casualties include the men's downhill and super combined alpine races planned for Val d'Isère this weekend.
But Hochfilzen wasn't giving up so easily. Race director Franz Berger, an oberfeldwebel in the Austrian Army who once commanded a stable of supply mules at the local barracks, proved as stubborn as his former charges.
Berger spent €70,000 hiring a fleet of 10 lorries, which made 278 trips, trucking in 15,000 cubic metres of last winter's snow from the Grossglockner, at 3,797m Austria's highest peak. Then the snow-cats and skidoos got to work, covering the asphalt trail with 45cm of snow.
The result is spectacular if rather surreal. Lycra-clad athletes, rifles on their backs, skate along an undulating thread of soft white snow through otherwise green countryside. Despite a few bare patches appearing on warmer parts of the circuit during training, Berger pronounced himself satisfied. "The sun is shining," he beamed, "and the race goes ahead. Why not?" His confidence has paid off. That day, the venue for the third round of the World Cup at Osrblie in Slovakia announced that warm temperatures and lack of snow meant they too would be cancelling. Hochfilzen was happy to step in and offer its services as a replacement venue.
Like motor sport, biathlon has its own band of travelling fans, most of them German, who have filled up hotels in Pillerseetal that wouldn't otherwise be open. Early snow at Hochfilzen has become critical. At an altitude of just 1000m, the village has always found snow a fickle friend at this time of year, according to tourist officer Martina Trixl.
"It's not uncommon that we don't have snow at this time of year, but before we didn't need it before Christmas so nobody cared much. Now we have these championships, everyone is expecting it. The last two winters were colder than usual. We had 8.7m of snow here at Hochfilzen and the snow came early. This season though, it's really different. We're not used to wearing T-shirts in December. The whole of November was so warm."
Skiers often dismiss reports of bare mountainsides and diminishing ski trails as a harbinger of global warming, especially early in the season. And with snow forecast for this weekend across the Alps, the tourism industry is hoping that the gloomy news stories will soon be buried in feet of the white stuff. In the French resort of Chamonix, the météo was promising 20cm of snow above 1,800m, while at nearby Val d'Isère, forecasts of colder temperatures could allow artificial snow-making to begin.
But Trixl is quick to observe that while snowfall can be difficult to predict, what is happening in Austria and across the Alps is evidence of climate change. "If you go up to the Grossglockner and see the glaciers, you have to believe it. They're disappearing. We expect the skiing season will be shorter in the future, perhaps only January and February."
Climatologists lined up this week with imposing statistics on just how warm it's getting up there. Reinhard Böhm at Austria's Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics warned that the Alps is experiencing its warmest period for 1,300 years. The Italian Meteorological Association said that so far this has been the warmest winter since records began 200 years ago. All of this spells disaster for Europe's glaciers.
Between 1985 and 2000, the Alps lost 22% of their glacial surface area, with those in relatively lower-lying Austria most vulnerable of all. In the ferociously hot summer of 2003, between 5% and 10% of the remaining ice melted. Leading glaciologist Michael Kemp has warned that with a 3C rise in summer air temperatures the Alps could lose 80% of the remaining glaciers.
Rising temperatures and the loss of ice have sinister consequences, especially if you're a hiker or mountaineer. In recent years, locals living below the Eiger in Switzerland have watched the Lower Grindelwald Glacier retreating up the mountain month by month. The presence of ice had locked huge areas of unstable rock onto the lower slopes of the Eiger, but with its disappearance whole cliff-faces have started collapsing. In July, a 70-year-old German tourist was killed by a giant mudslide that poured off a retreating glacier in the Corvatsch region of Switzerland. And at the end of May, a rock fell from the entrance of the Gotthard tunnel, killing two Germans in their car. The tunnel was closed for a month.
Switzerland's most famous tourist icon, the Matterhorn, has also proved increasingly unstable. On 14 July 14 2003, mountain guide Victor Saunders found himself stranded on the mountain's popular Hörnli Ridge with his client Craig Higgins when a large area of rock called the Third Tower collapsed. Both men were airlifted off the mountain. Air Zermatt reported it rescued 70 climbers that day. The mountain was for a short time off-limits as mountain guides made the area safer.
"Mountains are always changing," Saunders says, "entropy is in their nature. They want to be horizontal. You have to allow for that in judging what's happening in the mountains with regard to global warming. But there's no doubt that climate change is making it worse."
Saunders says as the permafrost level that locks mountains solid rises, previously frozen rock faces start shedding loose rock. The changing permafrost level, what Saunders calls a "zone of instability", means rocks fall in places that were once safe, sometimes with fatal consequences.
"Things which were nice to climb in August now have to be done in June or earlier ," he says. "The first ice field on the Eiger is just rubble, and I would sooner be on that route in winter... people will have to factor these changes into their plans."
How the melting of the Alps affects tourism has politicians and businessmen riveted. Professor Hans Elsasser, an economic geographer at Zurich University, has made a study of how winter sports could be affected if the climatologists have got it right. "So far we haven't yet seen a big change in the tourism industry, but there has been a clear impact on natural snow cover in winter. Generally speaking, in lower regions in recent years, the early season has not had snow. In the future, destinations at higher altitudes will become more popular and more expensive."
Elsasser says that in the past 15 years, the skiing industry has become more capital intensive. Poor snow fall in the late 1980s prompted investment in artificial snow-making. But the combination of high costs and rising temperatures makes that less attractive now. For 1km of piste, he says, it costs €600,000 of investment in machinery, and a further €25,000 each year in energy and water costs. That means higher lift-pass costs.
"Artificial snow is a solution for the next five or perhaps 10 years," he says, "but it 's not a long-term solution. Today, as we speak, the weather is too warm and no one can make snow." Since artificial snow requires temperatures of -4°C, higher resorts will attract more skiers and Elsasser predicts that these more fragile environments could face further degradation. Worse, melting permafrost is already damaging installations such as chair lifts and cable cars and extreme weather events, including, ironically, heavy falls of snow like that in 1999, could cause more damage. More than 40 facilities were damaged by avalanches that year, at a cost to the industry of €9m.
"In Alpine regions, tourism is the most important industry," he says. "The winter season is, from the economic point of view, more important than the summer. People spend more money in winter."
Studies suggest Switzerland could lose as much as €1.2bn from its tourist industry, figures which leave the Swiss tourist industry frothing with indignation. "Tourism representatives think that climatic change is highly exaggerated by not only the media but also by science and politics," Elsasser says.
At least the Swiss can bank on their comparatively higher resorts for longer. The impact on Austrian and German winter sports at lower altitudes could be far worse. In Hochfilzen, Trixl says that already her neighbours are looking for alternatives. "Winter sports are a big part of our livelihoods," she says, "but at least we have other industries like the pharmaceuticals factory. In other parts of the Tirol, around Innsbruck and the Zillertal, they exist only on tourism."
Climate change has, she says, made her and her colleagues more environmentally aware. "Driving home I see more and more of my neighbours putting up solar panels to heat their hot water. And we're champion recyclers here. I'm very keen on that." And Elsasser can see advantages for a warmer Alpine region. In a warmer future, he says, we'll have more heatwaves like the one that killed almost 15,000 people in 2003 in southern France. "For the elderly and the young the mountains will be much more pleasant," he says.
Biathlon, says Fowler, is contemplating a future without snow. British team secretary Mark Goodson says International Biathlon Union members are "going to have to get their heads together and think about this".
If things get really bad, the sport could even move to summer and use roller-skis.
Already, the Germans hold their national championships during the off-season. Alternatively, the future may lie in indoor skiing tunnels such as the new facility at Torsby in Sweden where Fowler trained this summer, chilled to a refreshing -5C. "But it's hardly the same," she says.
Our changing world
Experts say 99.99% of the world's glaciers are now in terminal decline after a sharp rise in melting in recent years.
The loss of glaciers in South America and Asia will threaten the water supplies of millions of people within a few decades. Increased winter snowfall meant that a few glaciers, most notably in New Zealand and Norway, got bigger during the 1990s, but a succession of very warm summers since then has reversed the trend.
On average, the world's glaciers and ice caps lost enough water between 1961 and 1990 to raise sea levels by 0.35-0.4mm each year. For 2001-2004, the figure rose to 0.8-1mm each year. Of 150 glaciers that stood in Glacier National Park in the northern US, only 27 remain.
This autumn is the warmest ever and temperature increases across Europe since the 1950s have lengthened the annual growing season by almost two weeks, with spring coming earlier and the onset of winter delayed.
Unusually high temperatures from January to April confuse wildlife, meaning flowers blossom, trees bud, and insects appear up to three weeks earlier than expected. This is bad news for birds and other creatures that rely on newly emerged leaves for food.
The Arctic
Polar bears have been added to the list of threatened species as satellite measurements show the area covered by Arctic winter sea ice reached an all-time low in March. Scientists say the decline shows an alarming trend, with recovery of the ice in winter no longer sufficient to compensate for melting in the summer. If the cycle continues, the summertime Arctic ocean could lose all of its ice earlier than expected, possibly by 2030.
Arctic temperatures are rising twice as fast as the rest of the planet and the region is expected to warm by a further 4C-7C by 2100. The summer and winter ice levels are the lowest since satellite monitoring began in 1979, and almost certainly the lowest since local people began keeping records around 1900.
The temperatures at both the surface and at depth are rising, and so is the acidity as more carbon dioxide is dissolved. Marine life from the Antarctic peninsula to North Sea cod are already affected. Plankton numbers dropped 30% in some tropical seas over the last decade as warmer waters prevent nutrient mixing, with potential knock-on effects for the rest of the food chain.
UK waters are increasingly home to exotic species, with an explosion of snake pipefish - a kind of seahorse - in northern waters, a swordfish caught off Northumberland, an octopus found in Hartlepool marina and a Porbeagle shark off Sunderland. Trigger and puffer fish, rainbow wrasse and seahorses have also been recorded.

By Ernest Scheyder
NEW YORK, March 11 (Reuters) - Chevron Corp, the second-largest U.S. oil company, cut its 2017 production forecast on Tuesday by 6 percent, citing project delays and asset sales, while saying high prices have pushed its new baseline for oil to north of $100 a barrel.
The company, like many of its peers, has seen mixed results from heavy spending to lift oil and natural gas production, and shareholders in the sector are pushing for more cost discipline.
Chevron trimmed its 2017 production outlook to 3.1 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) from a previous forecast of 3.3 million boepd, but stuck to plans to spend $40 billion this year on capital projects, about as much as last year.
"Our growth strategy remains intact, though some things have changed," Chief Executive John Watson said at the company's analyst day in New York.
Despite the more cautious production forecast, Chevron raised the oil price used in its planning models to $110 a barrel from $79. Exxon Mobil, the largest U.S. oil company, is using a similar level of $109 a barrel in its budgets, based on 2013 average prices.
"There comes a point when some projects just won't be able to compete for capital" below $110 per barrel, Watson told reporters after the analyst meeting.
Watson cautioned that not all price rises go to Chevron. High crude oil prices have, paradoxically, cut Chevron's cost reimbursement in some contracts and increased costs, Watson said. An increase in the price of oil can entitle Chevron's partners to a higher share of production.
"When prices increase, it's just arithmetic at that point," he said.
In January, Chevron said it expected production of 2.6 million boepd this year, up 0.5 percent from last year.
Chevron has slowed development of its holdings in the Marcellus shale formation in the eastern United States due in part to low natural gas prices , which are making it less economical to extract the fuel.
Exxon lowered its production outlook for 2017 by 500,000 boepd last week, partly due to lower spending on North American natural gas.
Chevron plans to sell about $10 billion of assets in the next three years, an increase from the $7 billion in asset sales in the previous three years, which will also cut production.
Most of the new asset sales will be uncompetitive assets in the company's oil and natural gas exploration and production business, Watson and other executives said.
While Chevron has insisted on keeping capital expenditures high, many of its peers have cut spending, bowing to investor demand for reduced spending on exploration projects and boosts to dividends and share repurchases.
Royal Dutch Shell took the most drastic step earlier this year, vowing to cut $9 billion from its capital spending this year and increase the money it sends shareholders.
Watson defended Chevron's capital budget, saying targeted spending is in shareholders' best interest.
"What underpinned the original growth estimate we talked about is still there," Watson said. "The best investments produce strong earnings and cash margins, which in turn sustain a strong balance sheet."
Chevron's stock fell $1.33, or 1.1 percent, to close Tuesday trading at $114.51.

Celebrity Publicist Clifford Arrested in Sex-Abuse Probe
Max Clifford, a celebrity publicist who has represented O.J. Simpson, David Beckham and Simon Cowell, was arrested by U.K. police probing decades-old pedophilia claims against people in the entertainment industry.
Clifford, 69, was detained yesterday by officers investigating the abuse of hundreds of children over almost 50 years by people including the late British Broadcasting Corp. television star Jimmy Savile, whose actions are at the center of the case.
"Max Clifford is being interviewed by police," his lawyer Charlotte Harris, of Mishcon de Reya in London, said in an e-mailed statement. "He will assist police as best he can with their inquiries. When we are in a position to provide further information we will."
The probe was opened in October after broadcaster ITV Plc (ITV) aired a story about Savile almost a year after his death at the age of 84. Savile and the other suspects were involved in sexual abuse on an "unprecedented scale," Commander Peter Spindler said when the investigation started.
The Metropolitan Police Service said yesterday it detained a man in his 60s for sexual offenses, without identifying him. He was later bailed. It's the fifth arrest in what's being called Operation Yewtree, which is targeting people who may have engaged in abuse with Savile or acted on their own during the same period. Other people arrested include singer Gary Glitter and former BBC disc jockey Dave Lee Travis.
Messages left at Clifford's firm, London-based Max Clifford Associates Ltd., and the phones of two of his assistants, weren't returned. An e-mail also wasn't returned.
Phone Hacking
Clifford was the subject of news stories earlier this year because he was a victim of phone hacking by News Corp.'s now-defunct News of the World tabloid. In February, he told a media-ethics inquiry triggered by that scandal that he personally negotiated a roughly 1 million-pound ($1.58 million) settlement with Rebekah Brooks, the former chief executive officer of News Corp.'s U.K. unit who was arrested last year.
Clifford's company, which promotes celebrity news items to U.K. tabloids, was responsible for more than 170 "front-page exclusives" in the last 18 months, according to his website. Most pages on Clifford's website stopped working after reports of his arrest yesterday.
Police are investigating claims dating back as far as 1959 and as recent as 2006, including that Savile, who hosted BBC shows "Top of the Pops" and "Jim'll Fix It," misused his status as a charity worker to abuse hospital patients.
The BBC, the world's largest public broadcaster, reported on Nov. 11 that Yewtree officers arrested a former BBC producer who worked on one of Savile's shows and is now in his 70s. The Met hasn't identified any of the people arrested.
The BBC appointed former Court of Appeal Judge Janet Smith and ex-British Sky Broadcasting Group Plc (BSY) journalist Nick Pollard on Oct. 17 to head internal investigations. Victims' lawyers have said they may sue the BBC over claims it's liable for Savile's wrongdoing.
Former BBC Director General George Entwistle stepped down on Nov. 10 as a result of the scandal.

text: Losing a Healing Voice: Robin Williams Stephanie Abraham Tuesday, August 12, 2014 The world has lost a beacon of laughter and creativity. Robin Williams died of an apparent suicide yesterday. The world has lost a beacon of laughter and creativity. Robin Williams died of an apparent suicide yesterday. His tragic death leaves us to struggle with two perplexing caveats: we need better treatments for the underlying causes of most suicides–depressions, bipolar illnesses, substance abuse, and associated medical illnesses to prevent comparable losses in the future. And if we are to obtain better treatments, we need new models, a new roadmap. Robin would love us to develop them.Robin Williams' publicist confirmed the late actor has long battled depressions. Robin himself acknowledged his need for rehabilitation for substance misuse on several occasions. It was also known that Williams' had recently undergone heart surgery. This combination was tragically toxic, as it is for many of the 35,000 who die every year of suicide."This tragedy underscores the need to develop personalized treatments for depressions and bipolar illnesses" said John F. Greden, MD, executive director at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Depression Center. "We cannot treat all causes of depression as if they were all the same, yet we still do so. The time has come for us to revamp our approaches so that each person can receive the treatments they need for their underlying brain problems. Only then will suicides be prevented and not just mourned."Greden also explains that "large samples, truly large samples in the tens of thousands must be coupled with lifetime monitoring since underlying causes are not only common, they are chronic. The National Network of Depression Centers (NNDC) was formed to develop and help lead these new models.""We have come a long way in diagnosing and treating mental health but there is so much more to do," said Melvin McInnis, MD, principal investigator of the Prechter Bipolar Research Fund in the Depression Center. "In addition to treatments that work for different causes, the trick is to detect and diagnose risk factors as early as possible when the underlying causes are most treatable."Recognizing the signs and symptoms of depressions and bipolar illnesses is crucial. If you or any of your loved ones experience feeling of helplessness, emptiness or unhappiness, irritability, have a loss in activities that were once enjoyable, or have trouble sleeping, it may be time to seek help. Improving nutrition, sleep, and physical exercise and not misusing alcohol or other drugs can also help reduce the underlying symptoms and lower suicide risk. The support of family and friends can also be very important. Finding the right treatment for the right person at the right time requires a new approach. That time has come.

As a kid through the decade of the 70's, I received to watch some fairly cool cartoons and reside motion reveals on Saturday mornings and this web page attempts to stroll down reminiscence lane and visit again just a few of the shows that made Saturdays a lot fun. If a automotive was stripped down and missing important parts, it could relate to feeling as if you've gotten been stripped down, you do not need what you could get to where you could go, you are lacking power, are feeling depleted and even robbed of your vitality. My favorite vehicles from all of those movies has to be the 1974 Dodge Monaro; Blues Brothers is the best! I find out after calling him and a nurse put him on the phone.. so I go borrow his dad's automobile to go on the market.
It is important to do not forget that there are also some ways to treat basic cars. However, in 2000, it was a brand new look and faculty members and school students thought it was a sports car. Forearmed is forewarned they are saying and if you're desirous to discover a good automotive for the proper cash then it is necessary to know the place to look and the place you would possibly find the best value for cash. This is a superb record with some hilarious surprises 😀 I would have bumped the American Graffiti automobile out of the highest 10 in favor of the Mad Max car.
Features: The museum organizes rotating installations of American vehicles and artwork exhibitions that illustrate the position of the car in defining the social and economic local weather of the nation. At The Hartford, our Center for Mature Market Excellence consultants conduct research with key companions that can assist you make vital selections about your property and automotive. The charge for the service was on the time sixty seven.38 euros but will nearly actually have changed with time and you must now pay once you take the automobile for the take a look at. If you ever have a chance to view one up close, spend a while, this automotive is particular!
Features: Several dozen classic and classic autos that were a part of the now-closed Door Prairie Auto Museum. If you've got a collection of basic cars, we will usually cover them all under a single policy, and at a reduced price. While the price of admission is affordable, these cars do require upkeep to keep them in good running order which may be expensive in case you've acquired a automotive that has not been maintained properly througout its life.…

Pivoting from talking about the companies' track record on online privacy, Paul said he worries about the government using the Patriot Act to obtain a sweeping amount of people's information from companies — all with immunity from future lawsuits.
In these situations, Paul said companies like Google and Facebook should "stand up and defend privacy."
Still, he stressed that Web companies have an obligation to uphold their privacy promises to users.
"Ultimately, the people going after privacy are the government, and if people mistake Google for government, then we're in for a big problem. If people begin to mistake Gmail for Government-Mail, they're liable to get swept up in the same net of people supporting privacy," Paul said in the interview.
"I see a distinction, and I think it's in their interest as a company to fight hard for privacy, fight hard to protect the contractual arrangement their customers have with them."
Google and Facebook have come under fire from lawmakers and regulators for not doing enough to protect people's personal information online. Both companies have settled charges with the Federal Trade Commission over violating their privacy policies.
Paul has been active on Fourth Amendment and online privacy issues in the Senate.
The rumored 2016 presidential contender recently introduced a bill that would require the government to obtain a warrant to access any electronic records held by a third-party. Paul has also backed efforts to pass email privacy legislation that would require police to obtain a warrant before seizing emails, Facebook messages or other types of electronic communications.
Under current law, authorities only need an administrative subpoena that's issued without a judge's approval to read emails that are more than 180 days old.
He also backed a manifesto with his father, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), that opposed efforts by governments to regulate the Internet and disrupt Internet freedom.
In the interview with Wired, Paul said his libertarian views on email privacy rights and other issues could resonate with voters in California, a traditionally Democratic-leaning state that President Obama easily won in the 2008 and 2012 elections.
During his fundraising swing in Silicon Valley, Paul has visited Google, Facebook and eBay. The trip has been viewed as an attempt to woo support from top Silicon Valley executives and the wider tech crowd.
He is hosting two question and answer sessions on microblogging website Twitter on Friday, which has the hashtag #randchat. The first will be focused on discussing the Kentucky senators views on tech policy and civil liberties issues.
Paul admitted to Ackerman that he is weighing a presidential bid in 2016, but said he plans to hold off on making a final decision "for about a year."

ISWC 2007 Tutorial Description
User-Centered Design for the Semantic Web
in conjunction with the 6th International Semantic Web Conference and
There has been a rapid recent increase in interest in the design of user interfaces for systems based on semantic technologies. This tutorial aims to enable those who are involved in the design and development of such systems to benefit from the rich repertoire of concepts and methods offered by the field of human-computer interaction. The first part presents a number of general usability challenges associated with semantic technologies and discusses ways of dealing with them, referring for concreteness to two complementary case studies: a web-based system for access to semantically annotated cultural artifacts and a semantic wiki that features novel interfaces for the annotation of scientific webpages. The second, longer part of the tutorial covers in turn the most important methods used in three phases of the user-centered design process: requirements gathering, iterative testing of interfaces, and summative evaluation. Participants will be able to practice the use of relevant methods on a small scale with reference to the case study systems. Overall, the presentation will alternate between compact lectures by the instructors (referring to concrete examples) and hands-on work by the participants.
A detailed tutorial description is available as a 5-page PDF file. This document is basically the description that was submitted to the ISWC 2007 tutorial cochairs for review, but it has been adapted for maximal relevance to potential participants.
The same text is available in HTML in the different sections of this web site.
If you have any questions, please write to one or both of the presenters using the contact formation given on their web homepages:

WBO/WBA lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez, to this day, thinks Manny Pacquiao is running away from a trilogy meeting. They fought to a controversial draw in 2004 and Pacquiao won a controversial split-decision in the 2008 rematch. Marquez is preparing for his rematch with Juan Diaz on July 31.
If Marquez beats Diaz, he wants to fight....you guessed it....Manny Pacquiao. Marquez told Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer that he wants a trilogy fight with Pacquiao.
"I told Richard, I want to fight Pacquiao again but Pacquiao he doesn't want it. He doesn't want to fight me again," Marquez told BoxingScene.com's Ryan Burton.
Pacquiao is the WBO welterweight champion. He is not going to move down in weight. Marquez is at lightweight. He would fight Pacquiao at 140 or some kind of catch-weight but that won't happen. Pacquiao will not budge the weight to favor Marquez. If Marquez wants it, he will have to fight at 147.
"Maybe we could fight at 140 or maybe 141, 142. I know Pacquiao. I know how to fight Pacquiao. I know his style. I know how Pacquiao's style is and I'm always one step ahead of him [when we fight]. I think 70% [the fight won't happen]. Pacquiao is scared of me because he knows who won the fight. Why doesn't he want to fight me?," Marquez told BoxingScene.

This book is a recipe-based approach to using the CVS Version Control system that will get you up and running quickly--and correctly. All projects need version control: it's a foundational piece of any project's infrastructure. Yet half of all project teams in the U.S. don't use any version control at all. Many others don't use it well, and end up experiencing time-consuming problems.

Báo cáo khoa học: An alcohol acyl transferase from apple (cv. Royal Gala), MpAAT1, produces esters involved in apple fruit flavor
Apple flavor is characterized by combinations of ester compounds, which increase markedly during fruit ripening. The final step in ester biosynthesis is catalyzed by alcohol acyl transferases (AATs) that use coenzyme A (CoA) donors together with alcohol acceptors as substrates. The gene MpAAT1, which produces a predicted protein containing features of other plant acyl transferases, was isolated fromMalus pumila(cv. Royal Gala). TheMpAAT1gene is expressed in leaves, flowers and fruit of apple.

The length of chordae was a measurement of the distance between the head of the PM and the free edge of the posterior leaflet. Length of the opposing chordae of the posterior leaflet was measured directly by using a calliper. Double-armed mattress sutures with CV-5 GORE-TEX were placed at the fibrous tip of the PM using PTFE on both sides and tied down firmly. In all cases Doi performed Duran ring annuloplasty. Thereafter, the ePTFE suture is placed through the anterior leaflet.

Cytogenetic Testing in Prenatal Diagnosis The vast majority of prenatal diagnostic studies are performed to rule out a chromosomal abnormality, but cells may also be propagated for biochemical studies or molecular analyses of DNA. Three procedures are used to obtain samples for prenatal diagnosis: amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling (CVS), and fetal blood sampling. Amniocentesis is the most common procedure and is routinely performed at 15–17 weeks of gestation.

Prenatal diagnosis, traditionally used as a synonymous for invasive fetal testing and evaluation of chromosomal constellation, presently encompasses many other issues like pedigree analyses, fetal risk assessment, population screening, genetic counseling and fetal diagnostic testing as well. Ultrasound guided chorionic villus samling (CVS), amniocentesis and, to a lesser extent, fetal blood sampling are used routinely in fetal medicine units. Other fetal tissue biopsies such as skin, liver and muscle biopsy are used only rarely.

Polyaniline has been electrochemically formed on stainless steel in sulphuric acid 0.5 N with and without KClO3. The CV spectrum style and the peak characteristic parameters, as peak potential Ep, peak current Jp, peak charges quantity Qp, then have been analyzed under a consideration of the effect of KClO3. The resistance of the PANi films was studied using electrochemical impedance measurement. It has been found that KClO3 has affected the PANi morphology much more than the CV spectrum.
