UFC Plans To Expand Health Insurance For Fighters To Include Pre-Existing Conditions
Published July 9, 2012
THE SUMMIT: This year marks the fourth annual Fighter Summit for the UFC, which uses the event predominately to educate its athletes on the sort of matters other sporting bodies address with their annual rookie symposiums. The two-day event also will include presentations on financial planning, drug use and social media use. Among the speakers is Pro Football HOFer Michael Irvin, who will speak to fighters about mistakes he made during his playing career. The discussion regarding performance enhancing drugs will include an overview of the UFC's drug policy. While not instituting its own random mandatory testing -- other than the full workups already required of fighters signing their first UFC contracts -- the UFC says in the policy that it will "encourage fighters to submit to voluntary testing" and take disciplinary measures, including termination, against fighters found to have used prohibited substances.
TONING DOWN TWEETS: While previous social media sessions have encouraged UFC fighters to tweet often to increase their visibility, this one will attempt to tug on the reigns. Several UFC fighters, as well as White and TV analyst Joe Rogan, have been taken to task for inappropriate, insensitive tweets. In April, sponsor Anheuser-Busch came down on the UFC over the matter, issuing a statement that said it had expressed its "displeasure" about some fighters' "inappropriate comments." "We're reminding them to use common sense," White said. "First of all, you're not comedians. What you think is funny, the rest of the world may not. So keep your jokes to yourself. We've had a couple of things happen in social media. Nothing huge. But enough to be annoying."

Transcript | College Democrats help sponsor Jesse Jackson's campus visit. Photo by Michael Williams NORWEGIAN STUDENTS - Front: Lars Halvorsen, Tom Einertsen, Jan Torgerson, Stian Tollnaes, Thomas Vogt, John Tverboku, Pelter Saetherbak- ken, Alf 0. Lysberg. Party Aim The College Democrats were "re-energized" for the 1988 Presidential Election. Activities promoting participation in the election and democratic candidates included setting up voter registration tables, holding a Mock Primary before Su- per Tuesday, and co- sponsoring the Jesse Jackson Rally on campus. To encourage and prepare future leaders from the group, the College Democrats also held a Leadership Conference. Two such group leaders included President Karen Baird and Vice-president Debbie Antoon-Lucas. The purpose as stated by the group of democrats is to educate the student body and faculty on all the current issues, especially the major political issues of the upcoming election. Just as the Democratic party's aim is to fill political positions with Democratic candidates, the group often supported the Democratic side of the issues. The College Democrats felt that the members gained valuable education, were raised to activism and formed lasting friendships. "The purpose was to educate the student body and faculty on all the issues, especially the major political issues of the upcoming election."

Album Notes
Over the course of a long career in pop music, Johan Angergård has tried his hand at many styles and mastered them all. He's done melancholic dream pop with Club 8, feedbacky noise pop with the Legends, and candy-sweet indie pop with Acid House Kings; now he's trying out capital-"P" pop with Eternal Death. Working with vocalist Elin Berlin, Angergård creates a sound that's synth-heavy and references vintage acts like Human League, while being plugged directly into the current scene populated by bands like Chvrches and Purity Ring. Built around percussion that pummels and walls of synths that can be woozily overpowering, Eternal Death isn't easy listening, even though the melodies are hooky and Berlin delivers the lyrics with a light, fluttery, and helium-pitched touch. As one might guess from the name, there's a strong current of sadness and darkness running through both the sound and the lyrics. Pick pretty much any song and it's sure to be bleak at heart, sometimes overpoweringly so. Paired with the synths that don't leave much breathing room, Berlin's aching voice, and the words, it makes for pop music that doesn't pop as much as it sadly weeps in the corner, waiting for some kind of deliverance. There are moments when Angergård and Berlin lift their heads up and almost sound like they are having fun, like on the death disco stompers "Head" and "Cry," or the almost airy '50s-style ballad "Love." The album could have used a few more moments like these to balance out the gloom, but mostly it holds together well and the mood of abject sadness is transmitted with impressive skill. With Eternal Death, Angergård is the closest he's ever been to the mainstream of pop music and it's pretty clear from the sound of the album that it belongs there, right next to the new wave of bands who milk the synth pop past for all the gloom they can while still sounding super-sleek and modern. ~ Tim Sendra

Bembridge, Isle Of Wight, England, Show on map
Jumbo tents/motorhomes may not fit on one pitch when allowing for any awning and the minimum 3m break between units. In this case, please book an additional pitch. Sorry no gazebos or pup tents permitted.
Tents may not be erected on the same pitch as caravans/motorhomes but you may erect one awning. Camping guests may erect one tent per pitch. Please note that trailer tents are treated as tents.
Dogs must be kept on leads and supervised at all times. Fouling must be cleaned up immediately. We do not accept breeds/crossbreeds listed in the Dangerous Dogs Act. Your dog must be tattooed and microchipped.
Many sites set a maximum occupancy of 6/8 people per pitch, so try breaking your booking down into smaller groups to generate more results. For example, if you're a group of 10, enter 5 people in your initial search and then book 2 pitches.
However, where the pitch or accommodation occupancy allows it, you can now make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children on one pitch.
To book multiple pitches or accommodation, use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together. Complete the booking form for the first booking (you can add a password and save your card so that we remember your details). Then click "Make another booking like this" at the top of the confirmation page to make the next booking.
Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled 'Please note'.
Large tents/caravans: check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit is suitable for the space you will be provided with.

The present invention relates to ink composition for use in ink jet printers and in particular to such compositions, hereinafter referred to as dispersion inks, comprising a diluent, a pigment and a dispersant for stabilising the dispersion of the pigment in the diluent.
A problem with dispersion inks is to obtain a composition which is stable and yet which will yield a well-defined print, substantially free of feathering, and of acceptable optical density, when printed on plain paper from an ink jet print head. A further problem encountered with continuous printing with such dispersion inks in an ink jet printer is that a small amount of the tail of the droplet being ejected tends to separate from the droplet and collect on the surface of that part of the area of the nozzle plate immediately surrounding the nozzle. In general, provided the surface energy of the plate is sufficiently low the ink will simply recede into the nozzle and be ejected as part of the next droplet; however as the frequency of droplet ejection is increased, there is less opportunity for the ink to recede before ejection of a subsequent droplet and there is a tendency for a pool of residual ink to form on the surface of the nozzle plate the size of which increases until it reaches a level at which it, or dust or other contaminant which is attracted to the thus wetted nozzle plate, interferes with droplet ejection and prevents reliable operation of the printer. Printing then has to be interrupted, and the problem eradicated by cleaning the printhead e.g. by wiping or, in more serious cases, by replacing the head. The problem is further exacerbated by the trend towards increasing the number of nozzles per unit area of the nozzle plate and thus reducing inter-nozzle spacing.
While the problem can be resolved to a certain extent by reducing the surface energy of the nozzle plate surface, e.g. by choice of suitable materials for the surface or by surface treatment, this may not be an adequate solution where the diluent on which the ink is based is substantially non-polar e.g. as in the case of inks based on hydrocarbon diluents. The use of such low polarity diluents in forming inks is advantageous because it reduces or avoids problems of materials compatibility in the printing system (e.g. printer body, cartridges, glues and printing media).
Thus the problem addressed by the present invention is to provide a stable dispersion ink based on a non-polar solvent such as hydrocarbon and which yields well defined prints of acceptable optical density when printed from an ink jet print head and enables the length of the print run without interruption for cleaning or replacing the print head to be increased.
EP-A-0454872 describes a dispersion ink in which the colouring component has a particle size of not less than 0.01 micron and the dispersion medium comprises a liquid having a surface tension of not more than 50 dynes/cm at 25¯ C., and wherein the dispersion medium separates immediately from the colouring component at the moment the ink composition is deposited on an image recording material. Examples are given of inks with polar solvents and of inks with non-polar solvents. There are no examples of mixtures of polar and non-polar solvents. The ink is said to produce a circular dot with a clear contour and does not permeate along fibers of paper. However, the non-wetting characteristics of the ink are not discussed and even the best inks had precipitated within three months of storage at 70¯ C.
We have now found in accordance with the present invention that the problem may be resolved by providing a stable ink jet ink composition comprising a diluent containing a non-polar liquid as a major component of the diluent by weight, a pigment and a dispersant for stabilising the dispersion of the pigment in the diluent, said composition having a polar solubility parameter greater than zero but not greater than 7 MPa1/2 and a dewetting velocity of at least 100 μm.sec-1 on a surface having a surface energy of 10Ý1mN.m-1. The required polar solubility parameter is achieved by including a minor amount of a polar liquid, or mixture of polar liquids, in the diluent.
Preferably the viscosity of the dispersion will be less than 60 mPas, measured at 30¯ C. using a Bohlin C. S. rheometer with CP4/40 measuring system, and more preferably no greater than 30 mPas, for inks intended to be printed at about ambient temperature. However, for inks intended to be printed at temperatures above ambient, higher viscosities are acceptable.
References herein to polar solubility parameter are to the values obtained according to the method of Hansen, C. M. and Skaarup, K., Journal of Paint Technology, 39 No. 51, pp.511-514 (1967) as detailed by, Patton, T. C. "Paint Flow & Pigment Dispersion" 2nd Ed., Wiley Interscience, 1979.
The surface energy, otherwise known as critical surface tension, is measured using the method of Zisman, described at page 351 ff of "Physical Chemistry of Surfaces" by Adamson AW 3rd Edition, John Wiley & Sons 1976, in which the cosines of the contact angles on a surface are measured for a series of liquids. The data are plotted against the surface tensions of the liquids and the critical surface tension is defined as the surface tension where the extrapolated curve gives a value for the cosine of the contact angle of unity. The liquids used for measurement are suitably 1-octanol, ethan-1,2-diol, n-octane and n-hexane, but others may be employed. A Kruss K12 Process Tensiometer is used to measure the downward force on a rectangular polymer wafer coated on both sides with a coating chosen to provide the desired surface energy of 10Ý1mN.m-1, immersed in the chosen liquid. The cosine of the contact angle, C, is given by C=F/ 2η(w+t)!, where w and t are the width and thickness of the coated polyimide rectangle, respectively η is surface tension and F is the downward force, after correction for the weight of the polyimide and its buoyancy.
A suitable surface for the measurement of dewetting velocity for the purposes of the present invention may be prepared from a one-step fluorosilane coating composition comprising methyl triethoxy silane, 3-aminopropyl triethoxy silane and 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyl triethoxysilane. The following is an example of obtaining such a surface, 30 parts ethanol, 0.9 part glacial acetic acid, 2.0 parts hexanol and 5 parts hydrochloric acid (0.01 mol/dm3) are mixed together and then 5 parts methyl triethoxysilane, 0.5 part 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane and 0.5 part 1H,1H,2H,2H perfluorooctyl triethoxysilane are added to the mixture.
The solution so formed is then allowed to age for 2 days to allow hydrolysis of the silicon compounds. A sheet of Upilex-R polyimide is washed with about 1 mol/dm3 NaOH, rinsed well with water and dried by wiping with a clean room wipe and the aged solution is applied to the surface of the sheet using a meter bar to form a wet coating approximately 4 microns thick. The coated sheet is allowed to stand for 5 minutes and then placed in a humid atmosphere in an oven at 95¯ C. for 3 hours. The resulting fluorosilane coating thickness is of the order of 0.6 microns.
Upilex-R is available from the Ube Chemical Company of Japan. Upilex is a trade name which may be a registered trade mark in one or more territories designated by this application.
For a discussion of dewetting velocity and its measurement, reference is made to the article by Redon et al in Physical Review Letters, Vol 66, No. 6, 11 Feb. 1191, pages 715-718. In general, the higher the dewetting velocity of the ink, the less frequent the need to interrupt a printing operation to clean or replace the print head. Preferably, the dewetting velocity of the ink is at least 300 μm/sec, more preferably at least 500 μm/sec and still more preferably at least 1,000 μm/sec when measured on a surface with a surface energy of 10Ý1mN.m-1.
As indicated above, the invention is particularly concerned with inks in which a major proportion of the diluent, by weight, is non-polar e.g. as in hydrocarbon based diluents. Particularly preferred examples of diluents are those wherein the hydrocarbon component is selected from essentially aliphatic hydrocarbons which may be used singly or in combination and may comprise, for example, distillates from the fractionation of natural or synthetic hydrocarbon mixtures. Examples of hydrocarbon-based solvents useful in the inks of the invention are dearomatised petroleum distillates e.g. Exxsol D100, Exxsol D120 and Exxsol D140, all available from Exxon, normal paraffins, e.g. Norpar 13 and Norpar 15, both available from Exxon, isoparaffins, e.g. Isopar M and Isopar V, both available from Exxon. and white oils, e.g. Somentor 32, which is an. Esso product. Single paraffinic hydrocarbons may also be used, if desired.
In accordance with the invention, the diluent also includes a minor proportion of a polar liquid or mixture of polar liquids, so as to achieve a polar solubility parameter not exceeding 7.0 MPa1/2. This enables the achievement of a level of compatibility of the diluent with most dispersants that is required to obtain the desired minimum value for dewetting velocity. Preferably, the polar solubility parameter is not greater than 5, and more preferably not greater than 2 or 2.5 MPa1/2. Examples of polar organic liquids that may be employed are esters, ethers, ketones, alcohols and mixtures thereof; however, the nature and concentration of said polar liquid or liquids should be such that the resultant mixture with the hydrocarbon is single phase.
In one embodiment of the invention, the diluent comprises a mixture of an aliphatic hydrocarbon (or mixture of aliphatic hydrocarbons) with a minor amount, preferably 5 to 40% by weight of the total mixture, of a polar organic liquid which may be a single component or mixture of components.
Preferred polar components are alcohols, glycols, polyglycols, ethers of glycols and polyglycols, alkoxylated alkyl phenols and admixtures thereof. Particularly preferred are glycols, polyglycols, and ethers thereof, e.g. dipropylene glycol, polypropylene glycols. preferably having molecular weights below 4000 and the mono- and di-ethers of ethylene glycol, di- and tri-ethylene glycols and ethoxylated alkyl phenols.
Preferably, the boiling point of the diluent is at least 100¯ C. more preferably at least 200¯ C. the reference to boiling point being to the temperature at which the mixture commences to boil.
In general the diluent will be substantially free of water; that is to say, it will contain no more than 5% by weight of water. In any event, the amount of water present, if any, must not be such as to cause the formation of a second liquid phase.
In accordance with the invention it has been found that for a given choice of pigment, dispersant and non-polar liquid, the dewetting velocity of the ink may be varied by adjusting the composition without any significant change in the surface tension or viscosity of the composition. Thus, a desired dewetting velocity for an ink based on a particular combination of pigment, dispersant and non-polar liquid can be readily achieved by trial and experiment.
Preferably the dispersant will be in solution in the diluent; that is to say, it will be dissolved in the diluent or will be so highly solvated that the mixture of diluent and dispersant will be indistinguishable from a true solution.
The dispersant must be capable of stabilising a dispersion of the chosen pigment in the chosen diluent whereby to obtain a stable ink composition. By stable is meant that the ink does not precipitate or coagulate within 3 months at 65¯ C. preferably 70¯C. Polymeric dispersants are preferred because of their efficiency. Examples of suitable dispersants are condensation polymers of polyamines and fatty acids, such as those sold by Zeneca as "SOLSPERSE". Examples of other dispersants that may be used are those marketed under the trade names EFKA and DISBERBYK. Mixtures of dispersants may be used if desired. "SOLSPERSE", "EFKA" and "DISBERBYK" may be registered as trade marks in territories designated by this application. Any suitable pigment may be employed and examples are given in WO92/11209. The appropriate concentration of pigment will depend upon its nature but in general will lie in the range 2 to 20% by weight of the ink, more preferably 4 to 15% by weight. Pigment particle size is preferably in the range 1æ10-2 to 1 micron.
While the dewetting velocity of the ink is a function of the diluent and the dispersant, and is particularly sensitive to the compatibility of the diluent and the dispersant, it is also sensitive to the concentration of the dispersant relative to the pigment concentration in the diluent. For a given combination of diluent, dispersant and pigment, the appropriate amount of dispersant may readily be determined by experiment. In general it has been found that as the concentration of dispersant is increased from zero, the viscosity of the mixture decreases to a minimum and then commences to increase again. The theoretically optimum amount of dispersant, which tends to be in the range 0.1 to 1 part more generally 0.1 to 0.7 part, per part of pigment, by weight, is that which gives the minimum viscosity for the mixture since that should provide the most effective dispersion of the pigment. In general, suitable amounts of dispersant will be found to lie in the range 100 to 200% of that optimum amount, more preferably 110 to 150%. Larger amounts may also be employed provided that the dewetting velocity of the ink is retained above the minimum value of 100 μm.sec-1.
While it has been found, unexpectedly, that the dewetting velocity of an ink is not determined simply by surface tension, viscosity and contact angle, as would be predicted for simple liquids from the work of Redon et al., in general it has been found that satisfactory printing performance in conjunction with rapid drying time of print and compatibility with a wide range of plastics and polymeric materials is obtained, even if the surface tension is below 30 mN.m-1, because of the low polar solubility parameter of the diluent.
The energy required to eject a droplet of ink is a function, inter alia, of viscosity and for this and other reasons it is preferred that the viscosity of the ink be no greater than 60 mPas, measured as defined above, and preferably no greater than 15 mPas. The viscosity is determined largely by the viscosity of the diluent and the nature and concentration of the dispersant; however the nature and concentration of the pigment is also a factor.
The invention is now illustrated by the following Examples.
An ink was prepared with the following composition, in which all parts are by weight:

The ink, the diluent of which had a polar solubility of 0.4 mPa0.5, was found to have a dewetting velocity of 400-500 μm.sec-1 measured using the fluorosilane surface described above, an apparent surface tension of 25.9 mN.m-1 measured using a Fisher Model 20 Surface Tensiometer, and a viscosity of 11.2 mPa.s. The ink reliably produced well-defined print of acceptable good quality and optical density (optical density in the range 1.1 to 1.4) when printed on to good quality plain paper such as Xerox 3R91720 or coated paper such as Hewlett Packard LX Jet Series coated paper from a 300 dpi multi nozzle drop-on-demand printer operating at multi-line and high speed for significant periods of time without the need to interrupt printing to clean or replace the print head.
By way of comparison, when the diluent of the ink was changed so as to provide an ink having the same surface tension, a very similar viscosity (11.6 mPas) but with a polar solubility parameter of zero, as provided by mixed hydrocarbons, it was found to have a dewetting velocity of less than 100 μm.sec-1 and nozzle flooding was experienced and reliable printing could not be achieved for even a short period.
Both inks were shown to be stable on storage.
(1) EXXSOL D 140 is a mixture of aliphatic hydrocarbons supplied by EXXON and having a boiling range of 280¯ to 317¯ C. and a polar solubility parameter of 0.0.
(2) SYNPROL is a mixture of C13 -C15 aliphatic alcohols supplied by ICI Ltd. having a polar solubility of 1.4.
(3) SOLSPERSE 13940 is a polyester amine hyperdispersant marketed by Zeneca Colours Limited and contains 40% by weight active ingredient in an aliphatic distillate as diluent.
(4) SOLSPERSE 5000 is a substituted ammonium phthalocyanine marketed by Zeneca Limited.
(5) Regal Black 250R is a carbon black supplied by Cabot Corporation.
An ink jet ink was prepared having the following composition:
______________________________________Diluent Exxsol D140 47.55 parts Novol 17.5 parts Coasol 20.0 partsPigment Regal Black 250R 11.0 partsDispersant Solsperse 13940 3.75 parts Solsperse 5000 0.2 part.______________________________________
COASOL is a mixture of diisobutyl esters of glutaric, adipic and succinic acids having a boiling range of 274¯ to 289¯ C. and marketed by Chemoxy International PLC.
The ink, which had a viscosity of lOmPas and a polar solubility parameter of less than 2 MPa1/2, showed no signs of precipitation or coagulation after 12 weeks at 90¯ C. and its dewetting velocity measured on the fluorosilane surface described above, was approximately 5 mm.sec-1. The ink produced good quality well-defined print of acceptable optical density when printed on to plain paper such as Xerox 3R91720 from a 200 dpi multi nozzle drop-on-demand printer operating at multi-line and high speed. Reliable printing was achieved for lengthy periods of time without the need to interrupt printing to clean or replace the print head.
In a series of Examples, the ink of Example 2 was modified by replacing the Coasol and 2.5 parts of the Novol with the solvents listed in the Table below and making up the difference with Exxol D140, to bring the total of all components of the ink to 100 parts by weight.
The dewetting velocities of the resultant inks were measured and the results are set out in the Table below. All the inks had a viscosity and surface tension approximately the same as that of the ink of Example 2 and the print quality obtainable from the inks was similar. The print runs attainable without interruption would be expected in all cases to be longer than those obtainable with the ink of Example 1 as a result of the higher dewetting velocities.
All the inks had a polar solubility parameter below 2MPa1/2.

Using Edmodo to Analyze Characters and Conflict in The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian.
Lesson 4 of 7
Objective: SWBAT identify and analyze characters and conflict by taking a quiz and communicating through Edmodo.
Not unlike most young people around the world, many of my students are proficient at navigating their way around the computer and enjoy using the medium for social networking via facebook, twitter, email, etc.. This lesson is essential about introducing them to Edmodo which is alternative way students can post content, take tests, collaborate with each other, and connect with me (their teacher) in very meaningful ways. When I recently learned about Edmodo, it seemed to offer a pupil-friendly facebook. I want to harness their interest in this form of communication for their academic achievement.
Free Write
Free writing is simply the practice of writing whatever comes into your head without stopping to judge the output W.9-10.2. I ask students to use free write to generate all the ways one can use the computer for academic achievement. I circulate among students, redirecting and encouraging on task behavior.
After about 5 minutes I generate a list on the board of the ideas they came up with.
Building Knowledge
Teacher Modeling
Using a projected image of my computer on a screen for all student to see I first model getting onto the Edmodo site and using the school code to create a class community list. I pick a photo of me holding my grandson and remind them that their photo should be something pleasant to look at.
As I'm modeling this activity I sense my students impatience, their desire to get on the computer and do what they know best, communicate. But they must wait until I think they understand that this activity is about using Edmodo to facilitate a deeper engagement in their academic reading and writing W.9-10.6.
I use a Madeline Hunter technique called Dip Sticking to check for understanding by asking questions such as, "How do you sign into Edmodo?" "How do you retrieve the Chapter 4 Quiz?" "What is and is not appropriate when communicating with each other on Edmodo?"
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Student Learning Activity
Students sign onto Edmodo and retrieve the Chapter 4 quiz using their novel as a resource for the text dependent questions as the common core requires in RL.9-10.1.
I circulate among students asking questions, keeping them focused on the task. After determining who has mastered the task of retrieving their quiz on Edmodo, I work more closely with those students who need guided practice.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Wrap Up
Edmodo Share
I project on a screen my computer as students share their thoughts on the quiz by making comments or asking each other questions about questions on the quiz as I illustrate in my resource video. I want to facilitate academic discourse among them using this exciting medium.

Resource explorers
Endocoal, an explorer with coal tenements in the Bowen Basin inland from Mackay and Rockhampton in north Queensland, has hired Norton Gold Fields' financial controller Peter Edwards.
Doray Minerals, a gold explorer with discoveries in the Murchison region, north-west of Geraldton in Western Australia, has appointed Grant Dyker from another gold producer, Alacer Gold Corp, where he was CFO.
Mr Dyker spent four years at Alacer growing the company from a market capitalisation of $120 million to $1.2 billion.
Endocoal said Mr Edwards would be closely involved in negotiations with rail and port owners to get enough capacity to support output from future mining developments.
"Peter will be directly involved in the critical opportunities identification and evaluation activities now under way involving Endocoal's corporate adviser Macquarie Capital," said chief executive officer Tim Hedley.
Mr Dyker was already employed by Doray to oversee the project financing of its Andy Well gold project. Before Alacer, Mr Dyker was previously CFO integration project at Mount Gibson Iron.

Hillary's Loss Could Mean MSNBC's Gain in Trump Era
MSNBC once again is the opposition voice as Republicans take control, which could help the left-leaning network despite a recent shift to more news and less opinion. Says managing editor Rashida Jones, "We made a conscious decision to not be just politics and point-of-view during the day."
The Democrats' big loss could be MSNBC's gain: The network of Bush-era backlash again finds itself in the opposition. But the impending Donald Trump presidency comes at a unique crossroads for cable's left-ish news net. Reassured by much-improved ratings, MSNBC must choose between leaning back into a proven formula (covering a unified GOP government with a liberal slant, as it did to great success during the Iraq War) or preserving the mandate to focus more on breaking news. "Being in the opposition is always better for ratings," says USC journalism professor Gabriel Kahn. "That has been true for Fox News during President Obama, and it should hold true for MSNBC during Trump."
There's little evidence of how MSNBC plans to handle the future — mostly because breaking news and politics continue to be one in the same. The network has made one key decision by keeping The 11th Hour With Brian Williams for now. The politics-focused late-night show originally was planned to last only through the election. Sources at the network say MSNBC still will become less partisan — an edict from Andy Lack, who assumed the role of NBCUniversal News Group chairman in 2015 and was tasked with igniting a ratings turnaround. "We made a conscious decision to not be just politics and point-of-view during the day," says MSNBC managing editor Rashida Jones. "Politics will be a big part of our coverage through the inauguration. But it really is a daily assessment of what's important."
Although the network trails Fox News and CNN, MSNBC this year has grown its primetime average an unrivaled 142 percent among adults 25-to-54. Much credit there goes to lauded liberal Rachel Maddow, whose show remains the network's top-rated. Another bankable success is the equally politicized Morning Joe, where host Joe Scarborough gives MSNBC its most consistent victories over CNN. Analysts say MSNBC might evolve into a hybrid — sandwiching broader news coverage and primetime commentary. Says Kahn: "This is a golden moment to stake out that ideological ground. In a crowded news environment, it doesn't make sense for them to try to be anything but vaguely partisan. Otherwise, you're melba toast."

Mulderbosch Faithful Hound 2008
Winemaker's Notes:
Deep, black cherry colour penetrating from hue to rim. A surfeit of blackcurrant/cassis, blueberry jam and plum fruit alongside souboise, graphite, vanilla pod, tobacco and cedar wood typical of a classical styled Cabernet-based blend. Full body showing a grainy texture with mid palate richness, fresh fruits as nose amalgamated with boysenberry, damson, fruitcake, coffee bean and dried herbs (clove, anise) that finish with a powdery tannin that will need a few more years to resolve and long length making one esurient for another glass.
External Reviews for Mulderbosch Faithful Hound
Solidly ripe, but stylish, with a whiff of mint running through the red currant, blackberry and tobacco notes. A sanguine edge checks in on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Drink now through 2013. 2,500... Wine Spectator.

text: I have heard some good things about PotK so I decided to download it. However, soon after I began playing the game, it would randomly crash. I would go back in and have to keep repeating the same sequence only to have it crash on me again. What makes it even worse is that idk if this is coincidence or not, but I was having the same issue with my Brave Frontier game as well. I would get to a certain point on the loading screen and it would crash. Anyone else have that issue?

Who should become member of the ICLHE Association?
At which disciplines does ICLHE aims its activities? Over the years we saw five major groups who registered for the ICLHE conferences in Maastricht:
1. Teachers and practitioners with a background in linguistics and languages for specific purposes, working already in ICLHE issues or with an ambition to do so.
2. Educationalists, curriculum planners and people with a background in education and educational sciences.
3. University staff from a wide variety of disciplines, teaching disciplinary content through another language.
4. University administrators, institutional strategists and planners, who were interested in the topic from the strategic policy and organizational side.
5. Colleagues from national and international organizations and institutions, more or less working towards similar goals.
We found the presence of these groups - and especially the interaction betweem them - extremely fruitful, and we would therefore welcome them as members of our association.
Membership is included in the conference fee for the ICLHE 2017 Conference in Copenhagen. Participants at ICLHE conferences are obliged to be members.
How to become a member?
Please contact us via e-mail info.iclhe[@]gmail.com with a request for membership. Please state your name, affiliation and contact details.
Membership for the year from 1 July to 30 June. The 2017-2018 is € 35.00 a year. A special discount applies all participants at the Copenhagen 2017 Conference as part of the conference fee. Existing members not attending the conference as well as participants at ICLHE 2015 in Brussels will be offered the same rate.

One Is One and All Alone - The Moral Values I Have Learnt (Sample Answer)
Is One and All Alone
The Moral Values I Have Learnt
have selected the short story entitled 'One Is One and All Alone' written by Nicholas
Fisk in order to answer the question. The short story tells about a girl named
Trish who travels to Planet Trion in a spaceship in 2045. She clones herself in
the BioLab and Clo who is her clone becomes her companion. However, the twist
happens when Trish is disposed by her own clone.
moral values that I have learnt from the short story are to think carefully
before we take certain actions and we must not be cruel to others. The moral
values are portrayed by the main character in the short story, Trish. First and foremost, Trish does not think
carefully when she decides to clone herself in the BioLab. She then clones Clo
who becomes her companion but later her enemy because Clo is always
interrupting her privacy. In addition to this, Trish does not think twice when
she decides to dispose Clo by using the spaceship disposal system. She forgets
that Clo thinks the same thing as her too. Last but not least, Trish is cruel
by having the bad thought to dispose Clo through the hatch. In the end, Trish
does not think of the consequences of her actions and Clo outsmarts her and
disposes her.
conclusion, the moral values that I have learnt from the short story are to
think carefully before we take certain actions and we must not be cruel to
others. I do not want to end up like Trish in the short story.

Clouds linger today; sunnier skies ahead
An assortment of clouds should wander through Orange County skies Wednesday, then ease back for a sunnier picture in the days to come, the National Weather Service says.
Temperatures, meanwhile, will remain steady and in a range appropriate for the season.
Wednesday's cloudy morning should give way to a partly cloudy afternoon with inland highs of 70 to 75, 61 to 66 on the coast. A combination of low, coastal clouds and high clouds should roll through the morning.
On Thursday, partly cloudy skies in the morning will turn mostly sunny later as weak, low-pressure air pushes the clouds aside. Highs should be 68 to 73 inland, 60 to 65 on the coast.
Friday will bring another mostly cloudy morning, then it will be sunny, with highs about the same as Thursday's.
Saturday and Sunday look mostly sunny with some patchy fog Saturday morning. Inland highs should be 70 to 75 Saturday, 68 to 73 Sunday. At the beach it will be 61 to 66 both days.
Air flow could shift toward the ocean Saturday, then back toward land Sunday night.
Monday and Tuesday should have a nearly identical pattern: partly cloudy skies and patchy fog in the morning, mostly sunny skies in the afternoon.
Temperatures also won't be much different. Inland highs should be 68 to 73 Monday, 67 to 72 Tuesday, while the coast should see highs of 61 to 66 Monday and about 62 Tuesday.

The cost of a room per night in budget hotels starts from a minimum of Rs 1,500. Star hotels with suite rooms of single/double occupancy would cost around Rs 3,800 . However off season discounts are available in the months of May and September. If you are assisted with a tourist package, then accommodation is not a problem at all. Markets in Ladakh become busy early in the morning so make sure you book hotels near the market because you will have access to taxis at any time. Hotels rooms in Ladakh hotels come with attached bathrooms with running cold and hot showers in all seasons. You would probably want to snuggle inside a warm room after a stroll. As a solution to this, hotel rooms are provided with room-heating during April & October. Air conditioning is a term unheard of here- blame it on the cool year round weather!
Ladakh, bounded by the world's mightiest mountain ranges can be visited from June until September. Many hotels are located near its lakes and promise wonderful boating and trekking experiences. If you are planning to go by road, July and August are ideal since that is when the highways of Manali-Leh and Srinagar-Leh are open.
