The crisis in Europe is a favourite subject in media commentaries, and it is true there is no shortage of difficulties. These are manifested in a widespread defiance that features in public opinions expressed about the European construction.
An interview with Luca Jahier, who was elected President of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) on 17 April.
What is the European Union doing to counter illegal content online while ensuring respect of fundamental rights of citizens? "Welcome to complexity" says Mari Sol Pérez Guevara - Policy officer in DG CONNECT at the European Commission, in an interview with Europe-infos.
2018 will be dominated by the commemorations of the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War. According to the EU Ambassador to the Holy See Jan Tombinski, addressing gaps in a collective European conscience is indispensable to prevent the degradation of hope for a common future.
Cinema is an integral part of the European cultural heritage. Continuing its series of articles on the European Year of Cultural Heritage, Europe Infos turns to European cinema and the contributions made by Christians, with the President of the Cinema department of SIGNIS, Magali Van Reeth.

A fad diet is an eating plan which guarantees weight reduction or/and other points of well-being and are mostly carried out by exceedingly prohibitive or strange food choices. Celebrities support these diets, which is the main reason for the popularity and advocacy of these eating plans. Many health nutritionists around the globe are of the opinion that such diets which result in dramatic weight loss in minimal time are unhealthy and will only make you gain back all the lost weight in very less time. Fad diets are suitable for people who are looking to lose weight fast for a specific occasion or an event like before weddings and for a role in a movie/play.
Reasons for the popularity of such diets
There are very diverse views over the efficiency of such diets. Even though, they are labelled as unhealthy by most dieticians and health practitioners, they continue to be extremely popular. In today's world, there are conventions attached to how a body should look and to achieve the image portrayed of the "perfect body", people succumb to pressure and choose to try such extreme eating plans. Another reason why they are increasingly popular is because of the kind of people who swear by them. Celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Megan Fox and Brooke Shields have claimed that these diets have helped them lose weight which adds to the diets' credibility.
A few fad diets which are trendy and known to work wonders
A choice between adopting a healthy lifestyle with intake of food in moderation and exercising or going on a fad diet entirely depends upon the individual looking to lose weight. However, because they are so much in vogue now, we have got you the most popular fad diets that people around the globe follow when they need a quick fix.
The Grapefruit juice diet
This 12-day diet is a celebrated one in which the person following it needs to accompany meals with 8oz of grapefruit juice. The portions of the food needs to small and laden with protein. The dieters can eat boiled/steamed chicken, tofu or veggies. However, for the diet to work, it is necessary that the calorie count of the entire day should remain well below 1000 so that one can lose up to 10lbs depending upon how strictly you follow it. Grapefruit is rich in Vitamin C but there are no evidences stating that it can burn fat. Instead, it is believed that the restrictive nature of the diet is the main reason why people lose weight instantly.
The Cabbage soup diet
Jaime Pressly claims to have lost 32 lbs by simply sticking to this cabbage soup diet for a week. In this week, you need to ditch the variety and depend on limp and bland cabbage soup for your meals. Since, this fad diet is low on nutrients and proteins, it is advised that one shouldn't follow it for more than seven days. This diet is marketed as a catalyst for imperative drop in pounds, after which, the dieter is suggested to take a normal route of eating healthy to maintain the new weight.
Master cleanse
This is a celebrity favourite as Beyonce, Jared Leto, Ashton Kutcher, Angelina Jolie, Anne Hathaway and Salma Hayek swear by its benefits. Master cleanse is an extremely difficult diet where one needs to let go of all cravings and sustain 10 days only on a concoction of lemon water, cayenne pepper and raw honey. Apart from dropping pounds instantly, this diet is also known to flush out the toxins from your body and reduce the craving for sugar. Once, you are done with this diet, you need to be extra careful about what you eat as you tend to put on weight very fast due to low metabolism.
The cotton ball diet
Started in the modelling fraternity, this fad diet has to be the most bizarre one ever. People on this diet consume nothing but five cotton balls dipped in orange juice when they're hungry. It works on the principle "if you aren't consuming any food, you can't put on weight". However, this diet doesn't have too many fans outside the modelling industry because the cotton balls are seen as unhealthy and consuming them can cause blockages in your digestion tract and cause malnutrition and loss of hair over a period of time.
The Hollywood 24-hour miracle diet
What could sound better than dropping 5lbs in 24 hours? All one needs to do to lose these extra pounds is consume only a particular kind of juice and water throughout 24 hours. Because the calories are restricted to only 400, your body drops weight very quickly. Some people have also taken this diet one step further and observed it for two days to lose double the amount of weight. This diet might be dangerous as it results in a serious drop in blood sugar levels and fatigue.
Healthy and balanced lifestyle still remains the best choice but if a quick fix is required, in case that's doable, better to seek professional advice than go by celebrity endorsed commercials!

I loved reading this.Growing up with Erica I got to see a very small part of this, I could never see it taking toll but it does and did. I love you for sharing this! You inspire me to let go of the negative vibes that come around.
This is certainly a wonderful concise piece on feminism and on Virginia Woolf's life which makes us understand her life and perspective very clearly.
Wow. You have done good background work to collect these details. Good write up in the area which is usually over looked by non tamils who visit tamilnadu.
Very beautifully written! We all go through similar emotions when our kids move out . The degree of missing them varies depending on the bond between the parents and the children. It is surely wise to cherish the new found free time by keeping oneself occupied with ones long lost hobbies and more quality time between the parents. Maybe give more time to ones aging parents who too must be missing us ! Meditation and Yoga does the magic trick too !

we then headed to ikebukuro for karaoke!
passed by an original bentou - it's like mixed rice, but japanese version. you pick the side dishes you want with your rice. haven't tried it though.
and the dozens of pachinko posters showcasing winter sonata.
our room
drinks and the remote control they use to send song requests
the color-problem tv
and then it's time for lots of anime songs! yay!
the have ery few original tvs. i'm glad fma is real though!
on our way back, we saw frank, who took us to eat a greeaaaat dinner (can't remember what's it called though)
anyway this guy would splash his noodles randomly but the splash doesn't every hit the custmers. he's pretty skilled.
the ramen was awesome! the meat is not that fat either.

Photography by Jerald. Editing by Becca. In collaboration with Privacy Please x Revolve.
I like having fruits on my dresses and I think we are pretty clear about that by now! I mean, we've seen cherries and more cherries with a dose of lemons and that pineapple printed one from P&B I never wore. When my eyes was set on the Dixie Mini Dress for the first time, I was swooning. I had a (straw)berry crush on it and I knew, it was going to be mine to keep. With fluttery sleeves and a little knotted bow at the front, we are talking actual summer dress #goals. But hey, while we are all whisked into Fall by global standards, being stuck on this tiny little red dot that boasts an eternal summer is not that bad an idea. On that note, have you seen the latest travel video I've been working on? It's one of the projects I hold so close to my heart and I hope you guys would like it!
PS/ How many Revolve outfits do you spy in the video? :>

We are nearing the end of 2008 and you don't have an official town website. Seriously? I understand that you negligently underfund the school system in order to keep property taxes low and to continue the myriad of shady businesses you have going on, but this is just ridiculous. Are you still attempting to cling to the golden age of file cabinets and fliers? 7000 Asians in this town and you can't get one of them to make you a website? Dammit Pal Park, I heart you so, but you continue to find new ways to frustrate me.
Angrily Yours,

Interconnection Through Dissections is re-work of a stage performance. By juxtaposing different moment quality from different sections, rapid cuts, and utilizing the sound of the bodies falling, the screendance achieves its own identity and dynamics that the stage version was missing.
The Rhythm of O pays homage to the beautiful architecture of The Sun Tunnels by land artist Nancy Holt, who built the installation in hope that it transcends our perception of space and time, earth and sky. Four dancers explore not only the beautiful landscape, but also the rhythm of moving bodies aided by the tunnels' dynamic reverb.
Set in the University of Utah's Marriott Library, Mist is an interpretation of Maya Deren's editing technique that she used to transcend space and time. By cutting on motion from one location to another, the dancer is perceived to be transported to a new environment while performing an action.
The Girl in The Photographs is a narrative about a photographer and a mysterious woman who keeps appearing in his photos. Using adapted text and abstract movement, the film is a social comment on voyeurism and the practice of looking that often objectifies women in the photography world dominated by male.

I never eat breakfast, but I'm with you - it's awesome when eaten for dinner. Cranberry pancakes are lovely and must have been so delicious.

Why is it that monochromatic meals always taste soooo much better than they look???
I love the idea of cranberry pancakes!! Maybe I will make them on thanksgiving morning...

Brinner - I love it! A while ago my roommate and I ate a meal we christened "Dunchfast" - a meal eaten between dinner and lunch consisting of breakfast foods. Haha!
It looks like you kept the skin on your potatoes, so hey, there's some vitamin C! No need for guilt. :D
I love reading your blog! You post some awesome stuff. Like cranberry pancakes, which sound sooo yummy! If you'd like to check it out, I have a little baby blog at vegansettlersguide.blogspot.com.

I LOOOOVE breakfast but it sounds great for dinner as well. I need to try cranberries in pancakes! They sound scrumptious
- November 22, 2008 at 9:54 PM
Looks yummy! I do love a good brinner ~ and breakfast is better at dinner time cos who can be bothered to make roasties, pancakes and sausage first thing in the morning?? I bet even if I started cooking it at breakfast it would be dinner by the time it was ready!
But what I call dinner most people call lunch (and what I call 'brinner' most people call 'brunch'!) Doh! Confused much?
I'm actually thinking of buying some green plates~ to compensate for the fact that all my favourite foods are brown >:o)

Amazing views!
Definitely do it again !!
Really nice beach!
Great views of the presidents chateau!!
Great hike for sight seeing !!
Some ups and downs but not to hard !!
Watch out for the military base !!
belle randonnée
plus moyenne que difficile.
middle difficulty, not so hard.
Beautiful trail up to the old town in Eze. Bring lots of water. We went up during a very humid and hot time of day. The sun was beating on us and only made it tougher. Would highly recommend. Swam in the Mediterranean afterwards.
Probably the best marked trail I've ever been on. Just follow the orange markings and you'll be fine. The hike goes through the highly pigmented soils which are sold in the local towns. The trail meanders through the forest as well as some open and sunny areas. It's an easy hike and if you use your GPS you can make it longer or shorter. There are picnic tables in the entry area. I would recommend picking up some of the local fruits vegetables cheeses salamis and breads and making a grand picnic.
Amazing hike! Nog busy at all (september) and most gorgeous views pass by. Must do! Wear solid shoes and take water. You wont regret.
Did this hike on a whim. The hardest part is finding the spot where the climb begins. Steps all the way. The payoff at the top is the sweeping views of the coast of France. Would do it again. Bring plenty of water.
Nice views on the shore. Easy walk. The name of the location of the trail is Cap Dramont.
it was nice
pretty and enjoyable. nice views and the water at the bottom of the gorge is so tempting to jump in. if I go back I'd make sure I have swim shorts with me..
Très beau
Grandiose !
Much harder than it seems. The climb/descent between port pin and port d'en vau is really hard.
Bring a lot of water.
Could not complete the hike due to waterlevel in the tunnels.
Super fun trail with beautiful views. Let up to a small tourist village Éze witch was a nice surprise and continued on to a beautiful outlook. 10/10 recommend
Slow start along the ski chairs, but it gets much better once you get to the crest. Nice views.
A must do in Chamonix!
Well traveled but the crowd thins out a bit after the first bay. The views are worth it!
Very interesting part of the shoreline on the Côte d'Azur.
Beautiful hike. Easy but bring a hat and a lot of water!
Beautiful trail, romantic, not crowded, not difficult, but never boring. Relais des Merveilles was rustic, very quiet, great location. There are nice places to camp as well. Great experience.

Ever since we were able to communicate with people other than our family, we've been constantly talking and spending time with others that we felt shared similar interests, had similar traits, and some that we just wouldn't give the time of day. Out of all those people, we decided that a few of them can let stick around longer than most. Some of us still talk and hang out with the same people we did when we were younger, others grew distant, or just fell of the face of the Earth. If you haven't picked up what I put down yet, I'm talking about our friends. Sure, we can all say we have friends, but how many of them really are? What constitutes a "good friend" and a "bad friend"? I'm about to break it down how I see friendships, and maybe it'll make you think about who your real friends are.
To start, I'm almost 90% sure that we all remember our first friend. I know I do. I met him back in pre-school. Actually, I bit him in pre-school, and after that we've been friends since. I went through all of elementary school with him, but we parted ways after that. As life usually does, we've caught up recently after some years because we both play for the same softball team. Do I consider him less of a friend because of our time apart? No. Would I still tell people he's one of my best friends even after not constantly seeing each other every day or barely communicate as much as we used to? Of course. Time doesn't put an end to friendships if you preserve them the right way, and we've done really well at that.
I've come to learn that some of our friends fall distant the older we get because we all are trying to find our way in this crazy ass world. Time isn't as readily available as it once was, and we now have to prioritize the time we do have to put our responsibilities first and social life second. Even when we do have our social time, we choose what to do with it, and who to do it with. I, for one, am fortunate to say I have a good amount of friends, and I wish we can all hang out together at the same time all the time, but we all know that's not how it works. Some people we see more than others, but that's by choice. Some we choose not to see, again by choice. I guess the point that I'm trying to get to through all this rambling is this: if you really consider someone your friend, take a little bit of time to hang out. If you can't do that, give them a call or shoot them a text. Sometimes, it's something as little as a hello or thoughtful message that can change someone's day.
Some of the qualities of a friend, to me at least, are loyal, straight up, honest, down to Earth, and just always prepared for a good time or at least a quality conversation. The one's I'd consider my closest friends all have these traits, which is why we still keep in touch today. Like everything else, I'm willing to give people a chance, but if you cross the line on any of those traits, then I'll have to forget about you, or at least re-evaluate how I see you. If I'm going to be offering you my honesty, loyalty, and time, I'd hope that you'd return the favor to some degree. I'd love to say that all of the people I consider, or considered friends, respect this, but over time I had to let a few go. Remember: some of the people who call themselves your friend also have friends that you don't associate with, so stay woke.
When it comes to my friends, I'd do anything for them. If it's an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on, or a car to pick them up at 2AM, just say the word and I'll be there. Now, I'm not someone who really does things like this to get recognition or to have a favor owed to me in return, I do it because in my opinion, that's just what friends do. They're basically extended family. I know only a seldom few friends that I can say would do the same for me. Then on the flipside, there are those friends who only come around when they need something. Typical situation: old friend you haven't spoken to randomly calls you or messages you, asks how you're doing, and then BOOM! In comes the question: "could you help me out?" Again, in this situation, naturally I'd say yes, as that's what a friend does. Once I'm done helping though, they disappear out of thin air, only to pop up again once they need something else. This, to me, is one of my BIGGEST pet peeves about some people. If you're only my friend for some sort of alternative motive, best believe that I'll catch on and adjust myself accordingly. Fair weather friends are like sun tans: not permanent, and if you let them hang around long enough, you'll eventually get burned.
Overall, I know who I consider my friends, and every one of our relationships is different, but like I said before, if you're willing to maintain it, you'll always have it. If you're reading this and you're someone that I haven't kept in contact with or lost touch with, I apologize. Time is a crazy thing, and I promise I'll try my best to at least try to reach out to you. To those who I've tried to reach out to and haven't responded, my number hasn't changed since high school, so you know how to reach me.

Bangkok Business: DLA Helps Thai Prince Get Plane Back From Germany
Posted by Brian Baxter
A German court released a Thai prince's personal plane Wednesday after the government of Thailand agreed to post a bond for the roughly $54 million it owes a defunct German construction company from an international arbitration ruling.
The Boeing 737-400 owned by Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn was seized last month at an airport in Munich as a result of a long-running dispute between a receiver for insolvent Walter Bau, once the third-largest construction company in Germany, and the Thai state.
An arbitration tribunal operating under the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (Uncitral) ruled in 2009 that Thailand should pay more than 30 million euros to Walter Bau as a result of the country's breach of a bilateral investment treaty with Germany. (Click here for a confirmation of the arbitration award filed in federal court in Manhattan earlier this year and here for a copy of the ruling itself.)
The insolvency administrator for Walter Bau seized the Thai prince's plane on July 11 in a bid to force the Thai government to pay the arbitration award. DLA Piper international arbitration practice cohead Claudia Salomon in New York, the Thai government's adviser in the arbitration proceedings, took the lead in arranging for the firm to represent the Kingdom of Thailand in court proceedings in Germany.
A Berlin court ruled in late July that Thailand must put up 20 million euros to secure the release of the aircraft owned by the prince. German court proceedings in Landshut, near Munich, focused on whether the plane was the personal property of the Royal Thai Air Force or Vajiralongkorn. (The prince is an accomplished pilot who holds a senior rank in the country's air force.)
The seizure of the plane strained Thailand's relations with Germany to the point that Vajiralongkorn himself offered to advance 20 million euros of his own personal funds to release the plane and preserve diplomatic relations between the countries. The German government refused to participate in the dispute—which reportedly dates back 20 years to a scuttled contract that a predecessor company of Walter Bau had to build a highway between Bangkok and Don Mueang International Airport—claiming that the issue was a matter reserved for the courts.
On Tuesday, the Thai government agreed to put up 38 million euros in a bond requested by a German court to free the plane. DLA litigation and regulatory partner Frank Roth in Cologne is handling German court proceedings for Thailand, which presented a letter of guarantee from state-run Thai Bank to secure the release.
"The Kingdom of Thailand values its close relationship with Germany, is fully committed to honoring its obligations, and wants to rule out and terminate any premature enforcement measures directed against assets of Thailand or third parties," Salomon said in a statement.
Represented by DLA, Thailand filed a notice of appeal of the Walter Bau arbitration ruling in federal court in Manhattan earlier this year. "Thailand has strong grounds for challenging the confirmation of the award," Roth said in a statement.
The arbitrators in the ruling against Thailand in the Walter Bau matter are Sir Ian Barker of New Zealand's Bankside Chambers, retired Canadian politician and former Stikeman Elliott partner Marc Lalonde, and Jayavadh Bunnag of Bangkok's Russin & Vecchi, according to federal court records in Manhattan.
Last year several leading Am Law 100 and international firms temporarily shuttered their offices in Bangkok as a result of political unrest in the country. This week the U.S. Department of Justice agreed to halt attempts at extraditing a former Thai government official and her daughter while they argue for the dismissal of criminal charges tied to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, according to sibling publication The National Law Journal.Make a comment

Thanks for every one of the good info on Sri Lanka- it's truly some of the very best that I've witnessed available! I'm in fact flying out to Colombo tonight from Bangkok for 9 days and am "winging it" alone so it was so practical to come across your posts!

The great factor was that we got to be aware of the driver very well, and he received to grasp us and what we ended up considering observing.
Probably the most scenic prepare trip in Sri Lanka may be the one between Ella and Kandy. It's a authentic ought to when browsing Sri Lanka.

Since you want to get there to Dambulla from Kandy just after Dusk, this would imply you'd have to have to invest an evening in Dambulla, whose only attraction is a place known as the Golden Temple, which is beautiful, but not wonderful more than enough to produce up for the sky-superior resort prices in Dambulla. In the event you set out for Sigiriya from Kandy each morning, you will get it completed in half daily

You may have heard that we lost our family dog a few months ago. He was the best dog ever (I know everyone says that, but Buster truly was) and not only was he our best friend but he was our dog Penny's too.
We miss him every day.
I have to thank Blurb books for giving me the chance to create a beautiful book in his honor. I love it and it sits on our tv stand so I can see it every day.
Blurb books' quality is superb and the photos look awesome. Clear, colorful, crisp – they capture him perfectly. My instagram photos fit too, though they don't fill the page of an 8×8 book. Still = awesome. It's a hard cover book that you can personalize on the spine. A simple Buster Brown was all it needed.
We miss you puppy man!
Thank you Blurb for giving me the chance to keep his memory alive through the photobook. Want your own Blurb book? Save 25% on your book order at Blurb when you enter code EARLYBLURBS at checkout.

Just when you may have thought that nothing could be more childish that the kindergarten taunts the Republican candidates are hurling at each other, the liberal chattering class has shown that it is up to the task.
Writing in The New York Times Brent Staples tells us that Donald Trump has functioned for years as a rallying point for ... extremists and racists who are apoplectic about the fact that the country elected a black man president.
He goes on to say that: Racial hatred is a threat to the country and [the GOPs] leading candidate is doing everything he can to profit from it.
Not to be out done, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman claimed yesterday that Donald Trump ... promises to make America white again. (No, thats not a misprint. Check it out.) In an earlier column Krugman chimed in with this nugget: Republican political strategy has been exploiting racial antagonism, getting working-class whites to despise government because it dares to help Those People, for almost half a century.
Then, there is Ben Cohen at The Daily Banter: To anyone familiar with Republican electoral tactics, it is clear that Trump is basically saying what their constituency believesthat black people are lazy, Mexicans are stealing their jobs, torturing Arabs is fun, and women should stay in the kitchen. Of course Republicans cannot come out and say this ... but the insinuation is enough to rile up and activate their base of angry white voters.
Just for the record, Donald Trumps lifelong personal history suggests just the opposite of what these critics allege. Palm Beach, Florida, for example, has a notoriously ugly history of discrimination against Jews, blacks and other minorities that goes back for decades. Yet when Trump opened his Mar-a-Lago Club there, he announced that membership would be open to everyone an act that apparently so displeased the city elders and that a nasty zoning fight ensued. (See this Washington Post account.)
But what about the Democrats? Is it true that Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have been taking the high ground, as one New York Times editorial alleged? Far from it.
Race baiting is using false and misleading statements for the express purpose of engendering racial animosity. At election time it is invariably done to make people angry enough to go vote. Thats what Hillary Clinton does in virtually every campaign speech these days and Bernie Sanders is being drawn into the same behavior pattern.
A South Carolina television ad showed Clinton declaring that too many encounters with law enforcement end tragically. She later adds: We have to face up to the hard truth of injustice and systemic racism. The ad was obviously aimed at black voters.
After meeting with Al Sharpton, Bernie Sanders appeared on the TV talk show The View saying, It is not acceptable to see unarmed people being shot by police officers.
Do we have an epidemic of white police officers shooting innocent black youths? Far from it. Writing in the Wall Street Journal Heather Mac Donald reports that:
· In 2015, police officers killed far more whites and Hispanics (662) than blacks (258) and in the overwhelming majority of cases the victims were attacking the officer, often with a gun.
· Of the 6,095 black homicide deaths in 2014 only about 4% were the result of shooting by a police officer; the overwhelming majority was black-on-black crime.
· Tragically, mistakes are made, but black and Hispanic officers are much more likely than white officers to shoot blacks based on the mistaken belief that the victim is armed.
· The police are in greater danger than the civilians: Over the past decade, according to FBI data, 40% of cop killers have been black. Officers are killed by blacks at a rate 2.5 times higher than the rate at which blacks are killed by police.
Like the mistaken idea that white police officers shooting black teenagers is rampant, the national news media has recently become obsessed with contaminated water in Flint, Michiganleading to lead poisoning in children. But why? As I noted in a previous post, there are many other cities in the country where lead contamination is much worse. For example, in Cleveland the percent of children with lead poisoning is twice what it is in Flint. In Allentown, Pennsylvania, its more than three times the rate in Flint.
Yet right in the middle of a several fierce primary battles, Hillary Clinton went out of her way to visit Flint where no one was voting at the time. Bernie Sanders made a trip there as well.
So whats so special about Flint? Nothing, other than the opportunity to blame a white Republican governor for being indifferent to the health of black children. In almost every other contaminated city, the politicians in charge are Democrats.
If you are surprised by all this, you need to know that race baiting on the Democratic side has a long, long history.
On the eve of the 2000 election, the NAACP ran television and radio ads aimed at black voters implying that as Governor, George W. Bush was indifferent to the death of James Byrd, a black man who was dragged to death behind a pickup truck by three white racists. The charge against Bush was completely false.
In 2012, George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch coordinator for a Florida gated community, fatally shot Trayvon Martin during an altercation. Ordinarily, no one who lived more than 50 miles away would have ever heard about the case. However, this was an election year and it was initially reported that Martin was black and Zimmerman was white. The national news media pounced and virtually every news report suggested that racism was a factor. (See the summary here.)
After it was revealed that Zimmerman was Hispanic and from a multiracial family (that included blacks), the media behaved shamelessly. Several media outlets, such as CNN and The New York Times, began describing Zimmerman as a white Hispanic. NBC doctored an audio tape in a way that suggested Zimmerman wrong doing. Before long, nearly 90% of African Americans called the shooting unjustified. And when Zimmerman was acquitted of any wrongdoing, that was even more fodder for the race baiting fire.
In the middle of a tough re-election campaign, President Obama said that Trayvon Martin could have been me, 35 years ago. He also used the incident to say that black men in the United States (himself included, before he became a senator) commonly suffered racial profiling.
In the current primary election season, Morgan Freeman kicks off a 30-second spot for Hillary Clinton by naming three black victims of violence alleged to be racially motivated. One of the three is Trayvon Martin.
Im an equal opportunity editorial writer. Donald Trumps comments about illegal immigrants and Muslims are fair game and if critics want to read prejudice into those comments they are free to do so. And in my opinion, some Republicans have engaged in irresponsible immigrant bashing.
But encouraging racist attitudes toward blacks? Sorry, I dont see it. If Republicans are using code words and other subtleties to engender white anger, Im ready to consider it. But so far, I see nothing on the Republican side that even begins to compare to the race baiting, polarization, and divisiveness on the part of Democrats.

Give or take a quick hand, A slow foot and the occasional son of a basketball legend—no, not you, Bob Ferry—there's little that differentiates three of the four teams that will meet in Kansas City this weekend to decide the golden anniversary NCAA championship. Arizona, Duke and mystery guest Kansas, which was rescued from oblivion by Rick Barry's kid, Scooter, are careful in execution. All three fell behind at half-time in their regional final games, and all buckled down defensively to hold their opponents to fewer than 60 points. All gained sustenance from a star who is also a leader: Sean Elliott of Arizona, Danny Ferry of Duke and Danny Manning of Kansas. And they've even engaged in some preliminary skirmishing: The Blue Devils beat the Jayhawks and lost to the Wildcats during the regular season.
O.K., does that make them boring, look-alike ciphers? Hardly. Thank goodness, though, for the genuine O.K.—Oklahoma, the loose cannon in the quartet, or as the Miami Sound Machine tune tells it: "Bad bad, bad bad boys...you make me feel so good."
The Sooners have averaged 104 points this season, scoring a high of 152 against Centenary. They've attempted 763 three-pointers. They've been accused of fouling deliberately so they could pour it on some more. They've yapped, preened, danced on graves and caused ill will. They have one twin, one guy with a rattail haircut and nicknames like Amazing, T Love and Bunk. They have given names like Harvey, Stacey and Mookie. What is this, The Muppets of Eastwick?
Actually, the Sooners are the most talented and entertaining crew to hit college basketball since Houston's Phi Slamma Jammas back in the early 1980s. "Loyola Marymount?" says Oklahoma's Billy Tubbs, the coach with the Will Rogers wit, who never met a man he didn't like...to run up the score on. "If we played them, it would be 160-107, and we'd have the 160. What this game needs is a 15-second shot clock."
As in past years the Sooners rampaged through the winter, launching shots over the guy wires, hurling passes into the orchestra and teetering on the verge of self-destruction. But what separates this edition from the rootin', tootin' Tubbs-o'-fun teams of the past is character. When the Sooners outsteadied the excruciating Villanova delay game, committed one turnover in the second half and won the Southeast Regional laughing—despite not shooting well—they proved that their superb athleticism is more than just skin deep.
Oklahoma will present Arizona with its first true challenge of the tournament when the two meet in Saturday's semifinals. In this delicious track meet, the Sooners will have a lot going for them, including the vast disparity in the strength of the two schools' conferences. While the Big Eight placed five teams in the tournament, three in the final eight and two—Oklahoma and Kansas—in the Final Four, Arizona was the Pac-Man of the Pac-10, gobbling up conference competition by an average margin of 23.6 points.
The Wildcats were also 9-0 against the Big Ten, Big East and ACC, but they've not been tested in the crucible of a close game since February. In Arizona's victory over North Carolina on Sunday, the Tar Heels' J.R. Reid got into foul trouble, but Oklahoma's left-handed Stacey King is not as mistake prone and is a much better scorer. Over his last 18 games King has averaged 26.5 points. Then there's the Sooners' other astounding weapons—the three-point sharpshooting of Dave Sieger, Ricky Grace and Mookie Blaylock and the McAdooian versatility of Harvey Grant.
Oklahoma loses about as many races as Edwin Moses. But after Arizona won the West, the Wildcats' Kid Kourage, Steve Kerr, said to his coach, Lute Olson, "Let's run with 'em."
And here's why. The Sooners live on Grace and Blaylock forcing turnovers, yet Arizona and Kerr rarely turn over the ball. Oklahoma shoots the three-pointer well; the Cats—Kerr and Craig McMillan—shoot it better. Although the Sooners have those five real scorers among their starters, Arizona's Elliott is more creative than any of them. Once a team beats Oklahoma's full-court press—and the Wildcats, as the best passing team in college ball, should do that easily—the Sooners' coverage weakens. In a helter-skelter game, look for Elliott to score, oh, maybe 60.
If Olson combats Oklahoma's quickness by slowing down the pace, Arizona's exquisite half-court offense should prevail as well. By any measure of who can better deal with variations in tempo, flow, shooting percentage and odd calls, 'Zona's been in a zone of its own all year.
By playing in some otherworldly dimension all his own, Manning has lifted Kansas out of stiffdom and into a re-rematch with Duke. The Blue Devils beat the Jayhawks by four points in the semifinals of the 1986 tournament (Manning: two baskets, five fouls) and by four in overtime six weeks ago in Lawrence, Kans. Guarded by Billy King, Robert Brickey, Ferry and a cast of thousands, Manning scored 31 points in that loss.
Still, Duke is much the better team. The Blue Devils are deeper, quicker and stronger and have a cruel defense. Witness King harassing Temple freshman Mark Macon into uncontrollable post-game sobbing on Saturday. As he waylaid the fabulous rookie, King kept telling himself, "Don't be afraid to get beat."
More of the same should be on view in the championship game, when Duke re-acquaints itself with Arizona, which was awarded 42 foul shots (to the Blue Devils' 22) and made 32 (to their 17) in its 91-85 victory at Tucson on New Year's Eve eve. Right, the Dookies outscored the Cats by nine points from the field. The referees were less responsible for the outcome, however, than Elliott, who left his imprint on King with an extraordinary 31-point, nine-rebound, five-assist performance.
At one point during that game, Ferry screamed at Olson, "We're getting homered." In response to which, Olson screamed at Ferry. In response to which, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski screamed at Olson. After which everybody shook hands and made up. "The Duke guys were great," says Kerr. "I had never met them, yet they called me by my first name."
Revenge is only one reason the Blue Devils will win this time. On their passionate journey toward recognition, the Wildcats have honed their skills, but Duke continues to make marked improvements. And Billy King, the charismatic secretary of defense, is not about to let Elliott kick sand in his face again. "My '86 team was hardened to the experience," says Krzyzewski. "This one, it keeps coming together. We can improve even this week. These guys are actually still kids."
And not afraid to get beat.

At the North American Energy Ministers meeting held in Mexico on Monday (May 25), Canada, Mexico and the United States announced the launch of an energy partnership, Reuters reported. A working group was established with the purpose of harmonizing and integrating climate change policy between the countries, enhancing regional cooperation.
During the meeting, the three Ministers – US Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz, Secretary of Energy of Mexico Pedro Joaquin Coldwell, and Canada's Minister of Natural Resources Greg Rickford – discussed the future of the energy sector in a regional perspective.
The agreement does not contain any binding target for emission reduction, but is rather meant to bolster cooperation among signatories for a stronger integration of national climate policies. The trilateral efforts will focus on installing smart electricity grids, developing clean energy technology, improving energy efficiency, controlling emissions from the oil and gas sectors and promoting climate change adaptation and resilience measures.
The agreement follows the submission of the Canadian INCD earlier this month, in the wake of the COP21 pledges from Mexico and the United States that were presented in late March. See the list of submitted INDCs for the upcoming COP21 in Paris.
The partnership builds on the previous statement on cooperation on energy and environment that the three NAFTA partners announced in December 2014. For that occasion, a Memorandum of Understanding formalizing the trilateral cooperation was signed. Up until Monday's announcement, the December statement was not followed up insofar Canada stalled on its UN emission bid. In contrast, early submitters Mexico and US announced on March 27, 2015 a cooperation deal, announcing a joint task force to coordinate climate policy. At that time, Canada's Conservative government was criticized for pulling back from climate pledges.
During the conference on Monday, Canadian Minister Rickford said the agreement could result in Canada to align with the regulation cutting methane emissions in the oil and gas sectors that was recently proposed by the US, Reuters reported.

The Gendered Nature of Migration and Settlement of Latin Americans in Spain
Albert Sabater, University of St Andrews
Andreu Domingo, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
Juan Galeano, Centre d'Estudis Demogràfics (CED)
Introduction: The growing demand for care work is considered the main responsible of the feminization of migration flows from Latin America to Spain. Although this has prompted various examinations of occupational disadvantage, little is known about the connection between occupational and residential segregation. Aim: We examine the correlation between these two forms of segregation in order to explain the sociospatial behavior of Latin Americans in Spain. Method: We employ the index of dissimilarity (D) as the standard measure to analyze the uneven distribution of members of two groups (native and Latin American) across a set of categories on both occupational and residential segregation. Data: We use Labor Force Survey and Local Census data from 2000 to 2010. Results: A negative correlation between occupational and residential segregation is likely to be found (i.e. spatial integration at the cost of occupational disadvantage), thus suggesting the different manifestations of a multidimensional phenomenon.

The first sock yarn I bought was Lorna's Laces Robot Overlord. No guessing what drew me to the yarn.
Fortunately, I love it (and the Monkey socks I made from it) very much.
So when I heard that Another Crafty Girl, an indie dyer on Etsy, had a series of yarn named after Pokemon, how could I resist?
I watched her shop for a few weeks, and when the Bulbasaur yarn came up, I grabbed it.
Not only did it really look like everyone's favourite grass-type monster, it is a gorgeously complex color in general!
I knew as soon as I unwrapped my parcel that this would have to be a hat.
But not just any hat.
This had to be a leaf-themed hat to complete the Pokemon picture.
I've been listening to Alana Dakos from the Never Not Knitting podcast for a few months now and I love her show.
She's also the co-author of the popular Coastal Knits, and she created this gorgeous hat pattern called the Vine Leaf Beret.
There's been buzz about this pattern around the blog and podcast world.
It was the perfect get-together of pattern and yarn.
This had to be it.
Neither the yarn nor the pattern disappointed. It was challenging for me, having never really done a lot of cables (or a hat that fit well, for that matter), but everything came out just the way I wanted to.
The yarn is gorgeous and squishy, the pattern clear and well written.
And the resulting hat?
Well, I couldn't be more pleased.
It's my new favourite hat (and I love hats!). If only the weather was cooler so I could wear it more often!
I still have some yarn left. Perhaps some mitts are in order. Or some Pokemon socks?
One thing is clear though. I'll be getting more of this fabulous yarn, and I'll be checking out Alana's other patterns in greater detail, too.

The Chronicles of Spellborn was a fantasy MMORPG developed by Spellborn International and published by Frogster Interactive, Mindscape, and Acclaim. The game focused on quests as the main method of character advancement with the intention to avoid traditional level grinds. Players could select from the two races of Human and Daevi and choose from the three class archetypes of Warrior, Mage, and Rogue, with several sub-classes to specialize in.
Players' characters' skills became more powerful with leveling up, although players could only choose from several skills at a time to utilize. There were 1,000 quests for players to complete in addition to storyline quests that advanced the game's plot. Special Ancestral Quests moved individual character arcs forward and allowed players to step into Spellborn's history.
The Chronicles of Spellborn featured fluid combat with a first-person targeting system and combo sequences to execute. Players could also learn skills of other archetypes at the game's upper levels, and weapons in The Chronicles of Spellborn were customizable with interchangeable sigils. Originally a subscription-based game, The Chronicles of Spellborn later adopted a free-to-play model. The game was shut down in August of 2010.
Playdom only recently acquired the publishing rights to The Chronicles of the Spellborn from Acclaim. Earlier this week, a server outage caused many to wonder if the game had been shut down for good. Games.com has received confirmation from a Playdom rep that, while Monday's issue was unrelated, The Chronicles of the Spellborn will indeed be shut down for good at the end of August.
Frogster Asia (of Frogster Interactive) has announced plans to shut down the development studio working on The Chronicles of Spellborn as the result of an impasse between publisher Frogster and their dutch licensor Spellborn NV.
Acclaim CEO Howard Marks has updated fans of The Chronicles of Spellborn with some details on the status of the re-development of the game, which was originally announced back in June of '09.
MMORPG.com Spellborn Correspondent Sait Gotekin recently dropped back in on Acclaim's free to play version of The Chronicles of Spellborn and gives us an overview of the game.
The folks from The Crronicles of Spellborn have updated their Dev Blog here at MMORPG.com. This time, they talk about the game's move into the free to play arena.

How to Recover Gold from Cell phones?
The cell phone has become an essential thing in our life today. We seem to be incomplete without cell phones. And it is a plus point for the E-waste recyclers. There is a great variation in the yields of precious metals from the cell phones of different makes. I mean, you don't get the same amount of precious metals from all the cell phones. Branded mobile phones give you better gold recovery than the cheaper ones, especially, made in china. If you dismantle a cell phone, you will find the gold on its motherboard (PCB), the connectors in cell phones are gold plated. The chips on the mobile motherboard also have gold in them.
Before recovering gold from the cell phones, you have to dismantle them. The ceramic capacitors in the cell phones contain silver, gold, palladium and sometime platinum also. So, first of all remove all the components from the motherboards carefully. There are many videos on YouTube that explain the dismantling of cell phones. You can watch one or two videos and understand the whole process.
First, we will talk about gold recovery from mobile PCB. These days there are many non cyanide gold recovery chemical compounds with different brand names available in the market. You can search them on the net and buy one. They are very economical and most of them are made in China. Their brochures provide you complete details about how to use the chemicals for gold recovery. So, for gold recovery from mobile PCBs, you can use that chemical. Another option is cyanide gold recovery also. But cyanide is harmful. If you need some help about it. You can write to me also.
Secondly, we need to recover gold from gold plated connectors used in mobile phones. You can use nitric acid for it. Gold recovery from gold plated pins through nitric acid is also a good process. But you should do it in an open place or an appropriately ventilated room.
Thirdly, you have to process chips for gold recovery. Chips are first burnt, and then ground into a fine powder. Then the pins are separated from the powder/ash through a sieve. Store these pins, and when you have a saleable quantity of these pins, you can sell them to a smelter.
The fine ash contains the very thin gold wires used in bonding in the integrated circuits. So, you can wash away all the ash with water using a metal bowl. This method is known as panning. There are many companies who sell these panning bowls. They show you a demo also. It is not very expensive. You can get it at an affordable price. After removing the ash, you have silicon chips and golden wires left in the bowl. You can recycle that gold with aqua regia.
Apart from chips, there are other components also on the motherboard that contain gold. They can also be treated with aqua regia for gold recovery.
I have intentionally kept the article short. Mentioning all the details about gold recovery processes would make the article too long. And some people might find a long article boring. So, I have given the basic ideas about the processes mentioned above. You can always write to me, if you need to know more about any of the processes mentioned in the article. You can reach me through my website: www.recovercomputergold.com

Is there any future for e-waste recycling in India?
E-waste recycling undoubtedly holds a great future in India. But you have to streamline this trade. Last year, 1.85 million tons of e-waste was generated in India.
We are all increasingly getting addicted to a variety of electronic devices. So, obviously, every year the quantity of e-waste in India is going to be even more. India is marching towards prosperity at a faster pace. And this has given the Indian consumer a great power to buy good brands of mobiles and laptops, etc... Expensive brands use more precious metals in their gadgets. And, as a result, when recycling companies recycle precious metals from them, they make more profit.
Electronic scrap recycling is a metal business. Metal business has many advantages- it is a cash business. Any metal sells like hot cakes. Iron is the cheapest metal compared to copper and aluminum, etc.; you can even sell this metal any time on the phone. The reason being, every metal finds so many uses that its demand never decreases. There could be little timely fluctuation in the prices sometimes, but it does not affect the demand much. These factors plus many more make people opt for e-waste recycling business in India.
All the big companies just want to get rid of e-waste because they want their place clean. That's why they dispose of their e-waste either at a very little price or free of any charge. Some of the workers of the big firms are very careless. They throw away the computer or just any other electronic device even with the slightest fault. And the recyclers benefit a great deal from this practice. When the recyclers pick up CPUs or monitors from big companies, they segregate them and have those machines tested and refurbished. Around 30 to 40 percent material, be it computers or mobile phones or just any other e-scrap becomes functional with slight repair. And, this way, recyclers make a lot of profit. And this will never stop.
Another important thing that goes in favour of the licensed recyclers is that the government has made a law that only licensed recyclers can pick up the material now, because 80% e-waste in India is processed in illegal/unauthorized sector. And the people in the unauthorized sector don't use any machines to process it. They simply burn big piles of it in the open and create a lot of pollution. Until sometime back, it was a big problem for the authorized e-waste recyclers, because they had tough competition with the small scale illegal sector recyclers. But now, the government of India is very strict about the pollution issues. It is coming down very hard on the unauthorized sector. A lot of the raids are conducted in the illegal sector; the unbilled materials worth hundreds of millions of rupees are seized every month. Severe penalties are imposed. And this goes in favour of the registered recyclers. Because all these strict measures are taking the e-waste recycling industry towards an opportunity which the registered recyclers had long been waiting for. So, there is definitely a good future for e-waste recycling in India in an environment friendly manner.

How to set up an E-waste Recycling Plant/Facility
Start electronic scrap recycling and get rich soon. This is one of the world's best businesses these days because it is a metal business. You get gold, silver, palladium, platinum, copper, lead, tin, aluminum and so many rare metals from this.
First and foremost thing before starting a business is to look for the sources of the raw material at a very good price. And the best thing about this business is that e-waste generation is increasing by the day.
Second important factor is to decide the size of the plant, according to your budget. Third is the area of the land. And the fourth and most important aspect is the selection of the machinery. The best electronic scrap recycling machines are either from Germany or Italy. China also makes electronic waste recycling plants, but they are not as durable as that of Germany and Italy. Some Turkish companies also sell these plants. They too are not as satisfactory as their manufacturers claim them to be. So, do a thorough research before buying the electronic waste recycling machines.
After this comes the skilled chemists and engineers. Most of the plants fail just because their consultants, chemists, engineers and the management team as a whole lack expertise in the field.
Another important aspect to be kept in mind is that don't start the facility right away. I mean to say, gain some experience first. You may either do a job in a recycling facility to understand the nature of the business completely or start the business on a small scale first. The benefits of this strategy are that you get to understand all the ups and downs of the business. You can even first start as a dismantler. Even if you have some loss, it will be very little in comparison to the one you might have by starting the plant without experience.
The secret I am going to reveal to you now is that inexperienced people are not able to decide what material to process and what not? Whereas experienced people only recycle the stuff that gives more profit. I receive so many calls from people in the process of setting up the e-waste recycling facility almost every week telling me their consultant has advised them to recycle computer motherboards only. And I pray to God for their mental equilibrium in the time to come.
So, it is undoubtedly a good business, yet you need to take into consideration so many aspects before starting an e-waste facility. This topic is very big, so I will keep providing you with very useful information on it in parts.
Hope you like the tips that I have given. It is the result of my thirty years of experience in this field.

Silver Recovery Raw Materials
How to recover silver/silver recovery process/silver extraction/x-ray film silver recovery
All these keywords used on different search engines indicate people's quest for learning silver recovery process and make money. I receive a lot of phone calls and emails in which people ask me about the silver recovery process either from X-ray films or from fixer solution. It portrays that majority of people who are interested in the silver recovery process are of the opinion that there are only two things from which you can recover the silver. But it is not so. There is a long list of items from which you can recover silver and make money. I would like to mention a few of them.
Apart from x-ray films and fixer solution, you can also recover silver from Ultrasound films, Compact Discs, diodes (electronic components), silver coated connectors mostly used in electronic industry, silver coated wires, Mirrors, Mobile Tower Boxes, Electrical Contacts, silver plated bathroom accessories, Crockery, Silver Oxide Battery, Solar Panels and old coins etc.
The best thing about them is that they are available in good quantity. And you can start this business with little investment and make a living out of it. And it is quite easy to recover silver from them.
Some people find it hard to trust. But they don't know the fact that half of the silver consumed every year finds use in industrial applications. So, the recycling of silver from such items is undoubtedly a profitable business.
For further assistance on this matter, you can write to me.
