Man, I need a break. From technology, that is. I'm plumb tuckered out.
Don't get me wrong; technology is a wondrous thing. When it progresses at a reasonable rate, that is. But what's happening now is just too much for me.
I'm no technophobe, either. I studied computer programming in college in 1963 and Linda and I had rudimentary cable TV in California in 1970, around the same time I was managing airplane parts by computer in the U.S. Air Force. I maintained a cassette tape-driven mailing list on DOS files saved from a Radio Shack home computer in the early 1980s and time-shifted TV programs on videotape in 1977 when a blank videocassette cost $20 (if you could find them).
I started working with PCs in the mid-1980s, even paying a bit more to add a 20MB hard drive as an option to my first IBM machine. I stuck with Microsoft products for the next 20 years until I got fed up with the constant updates, security patches, incompatibilities and warnings about "illegal operations." MACs were a much better fit for me at first and I still prefer them to PCs, but their advantages are getting smaller all the time. For a long time things went smoothly, then things started catching up. First my browser became un-updateable. Same thing happened to Skype and a couple other programs that refused to let me update or use the old version. Rather than update my operating system (not that hard on a MAC, by the way), I went for a fancy new computer.
New computer, new problems. More incompatibility, a couple of useful add-ons to the browser that no longer work and on and on and on. You can probably relate. As frustrating as my complicated relationships with hardware and software is, the Internet presents its own peculiar challenges. Consider The Cloud, where laptop and desktop are supposed to meet for a communal purpose. My desktop and laptop seem to regard The Cloud as a place where they'll converge only when they're damn good and ready and without human intervention. Facebook, once a congenial place for sharing pleasant reminiscences, thoughtful commentary and familial updates, has been infected by a snarky tone that has the ability to permeate the most banal exchanges. Internet streaming of "entertainment programming" has also proven to be disruptive to the cable TV business. On the recent Golden Globes telecast there were entire TV categories that I knew nothing about because I watch none of the streaming services.
I have other issues with modern technology, like how "smart phones" have created a zombie class, how personal privacy is practically non-existent (remember the Equifax hack?), how mega mergers and acquisitions stifle diversity and how the end of net neutrality threatens to create funnels and roadblocks unimaginable just a year or so ago.
Yes, there's a lot of technology happening and it's putting a lot of us on the fence: Do we jump in and try to keep up or do we just throw up our hands and say "That's it. I've had enough?" Personally, I'd like to see a moratorium where nothing changes technology-wise for, say, a year. By then I may have caught up. But that won't happen. I'll keep stumbling along, cursing all the way, as I struggle to keep my head above water. I'll probably keep from drowning, but, damn, it's exhausting.

FracTEL Receives Patent for Cloud PBX Technology Underlying Its Integrated Communications Services
Indialantic, FL—August 18, 2015
FracTEL, (www.fractel.net), the pioneering provider of next-generation, cloud-based telecommunications systems, today announced it has received Patent No. 8,971,509, "Feature-Based Software System for Programming of a Business PBX", as granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
The patent covers a core technology that is fundamental to the deployment of the next-generation Business PBX architecture that enables FracTEL's advanced telephony services, including the development of business-transformative "Tele-Apps" through the rapid integration of the company's telecommunications platform with other IT systems.
"We believe that the technology we have developed, and that is covered by this patent, represents the one and only way to deploy a true cloud-based Business PBX that can provide the scalability, security, reliability and savings required to cost effectively support the entire spectrum of businesses – up to and including enterprises having many thousands of phones," said Michael Crown, FracTEL founder and President. "It was a very difficult problem to solve, but we believe we are years ahead of our competition. Now that we also have IP protection on this disruptive technology, FracTEL has clearly established technical leadership and sustainable differentiation in a very large and valuable market segment."
Business PBX deployments have historically been based on premises based equipment or, more recently, "hosted" server solutions that rely on multi-tenant or virtual machine architecture. These solutions are effective, but lack the scalability, IT integration and other benefits of a true high-availability, distributed architecture. Because a Business PBX must support complex communications and interactions in real time, the Business PBX is a unique and challenging application to deploy in this fashion. The "Feature-Based" technology that FracTEL has developed and patented makes such a deployment possible. It is the underlying platform for FracTEL's Cloud PBX service, and represents a generation beyond traditional VoIP.
"The important and exciting thing about this patent is that it protects an entire deployment framework rather than just a particular feature or functionality – and that framework represents a major breakthrough in the way Business PBX service is provided," said John Scott, FracTEL Chairman.
FracTEL is the pioneering provider of next-generation "Integrated Communications" systems that are transforming businesses by offering an unprecedented full integration of telecommunications with other information technologies. Its patented, feature-based Cloud PBX architecture also delivers unmatched reliability, scalability, security, and savings. These capabilities are coupled with their Intelligent Communications Desktop (ICD) that provides immediate access on any device, from anywhere, at any time.

When it comes dressing for the busy social season, think adaptable and flexible to transition from day to evening and office to party.
Unless there is a truly special occasion on the calendar, such as a black-tie gala or the classic Ugly Christmas Sweater party, most of us don't want or need to go out and buy new clothes this time of year when resources are already dedicated to entertaining and gift giving.
Follow these tips from Klinke's, your neighborhood dry cleaner, to sparkle and shine your way through the holidays:
- Get "black" to basics. It may be the season of red and green, but it's hard to go wrong with black – whether in the form of basic black wool pants, a sleek turtleneck sweater or the classic little black dress. Before the calendar gets too crazy, make a sweep of your closet to make sure these staple items are fresh and clean and ready to serve as the foundation of your holiday outfits.
- Add eye-catching accessories. Those basics we mentioned above can be dressed up in seconds with some festive jewelry or a sparkly scarf. Keep a few key accessories in your office or travel bag so you can instantly transform an outfit on-the-go and be ready for impromptu gatherings or unexpected invites.
- Ruffle some feathers. Holiday flair comes in all shapes and sizes, especially when it comes to a ruffled blouse, a layer of tulle or faux fur accents to jazz up your outfit.
- Choose festive fabrics. Satin and velvet literally shine during the holiday season. A sheer blouse adds immediate style. Even the perfect cotton plaid has a place at the table.
- Be merry and bright. While basic black is always a great choice, don't be afraid to spruce up your outfit with color. Jewel tones – think sapphire and amethyst in addition to emerald and ruby – are especially fun and festive.
We'd love to hear more about your favorite holiday party ideas and how you extend your wardrobe during this hectic season. Most importantly, remember Klinke Cleaners is here to help keep you looking your best during the holiday season, and all throughout the year!

Vital Targets
The body is divided to three sections namely high, middle, and low. Each section contains vital targets. The effects of striking the targets follow:
HIGH SECTION: The high section includes the head and neck; it is the most dangerous target area.
- Top of the head: the skull is weak where the frontal cranial bones join. A forceful strike causes trauma to the cranial cavity, resulting in unconsciousness and haemorrhage. A severe strike can result in death.
- Forehead: A forceful blow can cause whiplash; a severe blow can cause cerebral haemorrhage and death.
- Temple: The bones of the skull are weak at the temple, and an artery and large nerve lie close to the skin. A powerful strike can cause unconsciousness and brain concussion. If the artery is severed, the resulting massive haemorrhage compresses the brain, causing coma or death.
- Eyes: A slight jab in the eyes causes uncontrollable watering and blurred vision. A forceful jab or poke can cause temporary blindness or the eyes can be gouged out. Death can result if the fingers penetrate through the thin bone behind the eyes and into the brain.
- Ears : A strike to the ear with cupped hands can rupture the eardrum and may cause a brain concussion.
- Nose: Any blow can easily break the thin bones of the nose, causing extreme pain and eye watering.
- Under the nose: A blow to the nerve center, which is close to the surface under the nose, can cause great pain and watery eyes.
- Jaw: A blow to the jaw can break or dislocate it. If the facial nerve is pinched against the lower jaw, one side of the face will be paralyzed.
- Chin: A blow to the chin can cause paralysis, mild concussion and unconsciousness. The jawbone acts as a level that can transmit the force of the blow to the back of the brain where the cardiac and respiratory mechanisms are controlled.
- Back of the ears and base of skull: A moderate blow to the back of the ear or the base of the skull can cause unconsciousness by jarring the effect on the back of the brain. However, a powerful blow can cause a concussion or brain haemorrhage and death.
- Throat: A powerful blow to the front of the throat can cause death by crushing the windpipe. A forceful blow causes extreme pain and gagging or vomiting.
- Side of the neck: A sharp blow to the side of the neck causes unconsciousness by shock to the carotid artery, jugular vein, and vagus nerve. For maximum effect, the blow should be focused below and slightly in front of the ear. A less powerful blow causes involuntary muscle spasms and intense pain. The side of the neck is one of the best targets to use to drop an opponent immediately or to disable him temporarily to finish him later.
- Back of the neck: A powerful blow can cause whiplash, concussion, or even a broken neck or death.
MIDDLE SECTION: The middle section extends from the shoulders to the area just above the hips. Most blow to vital points in this region are not fatal but can have serious, long term complications that range from trauma to internal organs to spinal cord injuries.
- Front of shoulder muscle: A large bundle of nerves passes in front of the shoulder joint. A forceful blow causes extreme pain and can make the whole arm ineffective if the nerves are struck just right.
- Collarbone: A blow can fracture it, causing intense pain and rendering the arm on the side of the fracture ineffective. The fracture can also severe the brachial nerve or subclavian artery.
- Armpit: A large nerve lies close to the skin in each armpit. A blow to this nerve causes severe pain and partial paralysis. A knife inserted into the armpit is fatal as it severs a major artery leading from the heart.
- Spine: A blow to the spinal column can sever the spinal cord, resulting in paralysis or in death.
- Nipple: A large network of nerves passes near the skin at the nipples. A blow here can cause extreme pain and haemorrhage to many blood vessels beneath.
- Heart: A jolting blow to the heart can stun the opponent and allow time for follow-up or finishing techniques.
- Solar plexus: The solar plexus is a center for nerves that control the cardiorespiratory system. A blow here is painful and can take the breath from the opponent. A powerful blow causes unconsciousness by shock to the nerve center. A penetrating blow can also damage internal organs.
- Diaphragm: A blow to the lower front of the ribs can cause the diaphragm and the other muscles that control breathing to relax. This causes loss of breath and can result in unconsciousness due to respiratory failure.
- Floating ribs: A blow to the floating ribs can easily fracture them because they are not attached to the rib cage. Fractured ribs on the right side can cause internal injury to the liver; fracture ribs on either side can possibly puncture or collapse a lung.
- Kidneys: A powerful blow to the kidneys can induce shock and can possibly cause internal injury to these organs. A stab to the kidneys induces instant shock and can cause death from severe internal bleeding.
- Abdominal below navel: A powerful blow to the area below the navel and above the groin can cause shock, unconsciousness, and internal bleeding.
- Biceps: A strike to the biceps is most painful and renders the arm ineffective. The biceps is an especially good target when opponent hold a weapon.
- Forearm muscle: The radial nerve, which controls much of the movement in the hand, passes over the forearm bone just below the elbow. A strike to the radial nerve renders the hand and arm ineffective. An opponent can be disarmed by a strike to the forearm; if the strike is powerful enough, he can be knocked unconscious.
- Back of hand: The back of the hands are sensitive. Since the nerves pass over the bones in the hand, a strike to this area is intensely painful. The small bones on the back of the hand are easily broken and such a strike can also render the hand ineffective.
LOW SECTION: The low section of the body includes everything from the groin area to the feet. Strikes to these areas are seldom fatal, but they can be incapacitating.
- Groin: A moderate blow to the groin can incapacitate an opponent and cause intense pain. A powerful blow can resulting unconsciousness and shock.
- Outside of thigh: A large nerve passes near the surface on the outside of the thigh about four finger-widths above the knee. A powerful strike to this region can render the entire leg ineffective, causing an opponent to drop. This target is especially suitable for knee strikes and shin kicks.
- Inside of the thigh: A large nerves passes over the bone about in the middle of the inner thigh. A blow to this area also incapacitates the leg and can cause the opponent to drop. Knee strikes and heel kicks are the weapons of choice for this target.
- Hamstring: A severe strike to the hamstring can cause muscle spasms and inhibit mobility. If the hamstring is cut, the leg is useless.
- Knee: Because the knee is a major supporting structure of the body, damage to this joint is especially detrimental to an opponent. The knee is easily dislocated when struck at an opposing angle to the joint's normal range of motion, especially when it is bearing the opponent's weight. The knee can be dislocated or hyperextended by kicks and strikes with the entire body.
- Calf: A powerful blow to the top of the calf causes painful muscle spasms and also inhibits mobility.
- Shin: A moderate blow to the shin produces great pain, especially a blow with a hard object. A powerful blow can possibly fracture the bone that support s most of the body weight.
- Achilles tendon: A powerful strike to the Achilles tendon on the back of the heel can cause ankle sprain and dislocation of the foot. If the tendon is torn, the opponent is incapacitated. The Achilles tendon is a good target to cut with a knife.
- Ankle: A blow to the ankle causes pain. If a forceful blow is delivered, the ankle can be sprained or broken.
- Instep: The small bones on the top of the foot are easily broken. A strike here will hinder the opponent's mobility.

text: President Reagan: No More Mr. Nice Guy A pair of letters written by President Ronald Reagan to his daughter, Patti Davis, and to anti-nuclear activist Helen Caldicott, come to auction on April 21st. The letters are written on paper bearing the heading "No More Mr. Nice Guy" and a Sandra Boynton cartoon monster. These are retained copies—proper typed versions were sent to the recipients. Ronald Reagan, two autograph letters signed, Washington, 18 January 1983. Estimate: $6,000 to $9,000. With the intention of swaying her father's opinion regarding nuclear weapons policy, Davis arranged a meeting between the president and Caldicott in December 1982. The president agreed on grounds that the discussion be kept private, but word got out due to a journalist who went back on a promise to keep statements from Caldicott off the record. A media sensation erupted, prompting this exchange. President Reagan's letter from January 18, 1983 to his daughter reassures her that, "I've just gotten an answer off to Dr. C. telling her not to worry, it's par for the course…" To Caldicott, he writes, "I'm old enough to remember a time when there was a code of honor among the quote, unquote gentlemen of the press."

While an accounting major has always been deemed the smart choice for undergraduates, an accounting double major might be an even better choice during today's fragile economic recovery, according to an article in The Chronicle. Completing a double major gives graduates two potential pathways to a professional career and it can help maximize employee marketability to new employers. The question for accounting students isn't whether to choose a double major, but instead which additional major to pair with this number-crunching field of study. The good news is that accounting's broad nature makes it easy to pair with virtually any other growing field.
The Business Pairing: A Practical Choice for the Corporate Types
Accounting is generally offered through a university's business school, because the vast majority of accounting is done for business clients in the corporate world. For those accountants who have a management streak, pairing the major with something like business administration might be a sensible choice. This would allow graduates to have two career paths of entry-level accounting work or mid-level management positions. It would also prime them for easier, quicker upward mobility into a role where they rank as the senior accountant within the organization that eventually hires them.
Another Good Choice Might Be A Finance Double Major
Finance is another great major. Whether it's financial planning, analyst jobs, stock trading or corporate advising, there's plenty of work to be found even with just a single major in finance. Accounting takes it to the next level; however, for several key reasons:
– Many finance positions require a certification exam, either issued by a state, a national body, or the company itself. Accounting is a key component of this exam and can power finance jobseekers through the screening process and into a new position.
– Working with numbers all day in the finance industry is actually easier for those with an accounting background, since coursework in accounting focuses on ledger work, separation of different accounts, and in-depth analysis of the numbers as they concern risk, reward, profit, loss, and ethical violations.
– Finance can be a volatile industry. Pink slips go up when the stock market goes down, and hiring rates go up as the market rebounds. Those with a dual focus on both finance and accounting may be able to protect their position by offering their employers twice the value at half the cost.

Liberal Arts Pairings Make Sense for Accountants as Well
Finally, don't underestimate the power of a liberal arts education when paired with something more practical, like accounting. Those who really enjoy foreign languages or history might find that their accounting skills give them the background they need to start a small business focusing on tutoring, private education, or other areas. Furthermore, liberal arts skills can help strong accountants land rewarding positions with area schools, museums, and educational entities that might prove far more rewarding over the long-term than a corporate position.
Liberal arts studies also give accountants the added advantage of being well rounded, able to crunch numbers and relate to a broader number of professionals in other applications. Whether it's a liberal arts major or a pairing that focuses more on other fields of business, one thing is for sure, today's students who choose an accounting double major will be primed for long-term success in a diverse number of fields at virtually every level.

BBC Pictures have sent DWO the promo posters for the 50th Anniversary Special, The Day Of The Doctor.
The images were designed by Lee Binding, who was resposible for the other Series 7 poster art, as well as some of the recent Doctor Who DVD covers.
The posters (pictured-right) show The 11th Doctor (Matt Smith) and The 10th Doctor (David Tennant), with John Hurt's Doctor walking out of the carnage of The Time War (presumably). The words 'Bad Wolf' can be seen on brickwork, as well as Daleks and objects with Gallifreyan text.

The title of the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special has now been confirmed by the BBC as 'The Day Of The Doctor'.We also have confirmation of the running time which will be 75 minutes approximately, as well as some of the other planned programming to surround the anniversary.
Professor Brian Cox will be presenting a lecture on BBC Two on the science behind the hit show. This will be in addition to the drama 'An Adventure In Space and Time', written by Mark Gatiss. The one-off programme stars David Bradley, of the Harry Potter films, as William Hartnell.
BBC Four will introduce new audiences to Hartnell, with a re-run of the first ever story. The four episodes are being shown in a restored format, not previously broadcast in the UK.
BBC Two's flagship arts programme The Culture Show is to present Me, You and Doctor Who, with lifelong fan Matthew Sweet exploring the cultural significance of the BBC's longest running TV drama.
A 90-minute documentary on BBC Radio 2 will ask "Who Is The Doctor?" - using newly-recorded interviews and exclusive archive material to find an answer - while BBC Three will be home to several commissions.
Danny Cohen, Director BBC Television said:
"It's an astonishing achievement for a drama to reach its 50th anniversary. I'd like to thank every person - on both sides of the camera - who has been involved with its creative journey over so many years."
Smith has already started filming his final scenes as the Doctor, which are due to air in this year's Christmas episode. His replacement, Scottish actor Peter Capaldi, was announced in August.
Steven Moffat, lead writer and executive producer on Doctor Who said:
"50 years has turned Doctor Who from a television show into a cultural landmark. Personally I can't wait to see what it becomes after a hundred."

Earlier today, the internet was rife with rumours that Ian McNeice would be returning to Doctor Who to reprise his role as Winston Churchill.
The rumours were sparked after Ian was misquoted at today's 50th Anniversary Convention at The Ritz Cinema in Lincoln, where The Ritz Cinema's own Twitter feed tweeted:
"Ooooo spoilers.... Winston Churchill to return to Doctor Who"
DWO has since spoken directly to Ian McNeice himself, who had the following message for fans:
"I am not doing a new Doctor Who at present, but would be thrilled to return if asked. K.B.O!"
+ The 50th Anniversary Special is due to air in 3D on 23rd November 2013 at 7:00pm.

So after getting a voucher for 6 months of Lovefilm for £10, I hooked up with lovefilm again, even though it's not the best set-up for our household – ie, we can't watch it on the family big tv. But it's an up and down relationship.
Constantly seeing the buffering video is not what you want when you're sat down trying to watch a film on a saturday night, so much so that sometimes we have given up. One title we wanted to watch took nearly three hours, that's okay if the film is three hours, but it only had a running time of one hour forty!
The TV title selection is quite good, whole series are on there, I've started watching Life on Mars and am thoroughly enjoying it, probably wouldn't have got to see it otherwise.
Another TV series that really caught my eye though was, Red Dwarf, I practically spent all of my twenties watching Listy Rimsey and Kryten and the Cat on their travels with the mad sex change Holly computer misguiding them all the way. So I was delighted to find all 8 series included in the package I was on. (Lovefilm Instant)
I couldn't wait to get started and like any faithful follower started at the very beginning. Stoppping and starting when watching on my laptop was a lovely experience, as titles recently watched just sit in the top right hand and you click to get going in the same place you left off. Trying to replicate this on the iPad
was much trickier, for a start typing red dwarf into the search area brings back no results… With no recently watched area to go into the only consistent way of finding the series was to type in Chris Barrie into the search and then clicking on the watch now tab from the actors homepage. At least when I found the episode I wanted if I had started watching it elsewhere I could continue.
Being off my feet for a while enabled me to get up to series 6, and then when I try to continue from half way through Gunmen of the Apocalypse – a true classic – I get an error message 'this content is no longer available'. Odd. I think must be a server problem, I'll try again another day, but no, not there, so I click on the feedback button to contact them about the problem and get a email back requesting that I follow the link to see the episode I'm looking for….
Unfortunately the link is a just a general search term for red dwarf and at this point I realise that there are only 30 episodes available… that's only 5 series of 6 episodes. What happened to series 6, 7 and 8?
This time when I contact them about the missing episode they say
" The agreements we have in place with our supplier's means that our licence only allows us to show certain TV series for a fixed period of time.
This period can vary from title to title, and we try to make it as clear as possible on each TV series webpage how many days there are left to view before that series expires"
OK I says in my emailed reply, where is this information on the page, because I have looked on at least a dozen pages of TV or film, and can see no end date for this title…
Next reply from Lovefilm,
"Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.
I would like to inform you that the title following Series 6 in (sic) now available for our LOVEFiLM Instant service."
Well after all that I thoroughly enjoyed finishing watching my episode, but what a total palaver.
If Lovefilm have only a limited time to show titles, they need to tell us about it!
Lovefilm have a quite a lot of stuff to sort out before we can all be converted to streaming movies like this at home.
On the iPad the buffering is a constant source of irritation, and unlike Youtube where you can just wait until the whole video has loaded, the streaming service just stops and starts constantly, I would never have the patience to try and watch a film on the iPad.
This is the biggest down for lovefilm, and although occasionally Netflix would stop I never had the constant appearance of the rotating buffer logo…
When will the facility to predownload a whole film come into play, I would much rather guarantee to be able to watch a film, because at the minute it's a switch-off.

If you're not really into finding out what local foods are offered in your area then you might want to consider hitting up the next local vendor's market that's going to be taking place near your home. There aren't too many foods out there that can compete with locally grown organic fruits and vegetables that are fresher and juicer than the ones you find in your nearest grocery store.
There are many different reasons why you might want to consider buying and eating local food. One of those reasons is that eating local food means that you're helping out the local economy. You're not giving your money to some big corporation that manufactures food halfway across country. Instead you're helping a local farmer or grower who lives near your community. It's a nice feeling knowing that you're giving back to your community.
Another great reason why you should buy and eat local food is that local food tastes better and is better for you. Local food is fresher and that freshness makes your food taste better and is also more nutritional. The more local food you buy for your local farmers or growers, the better off you'll be, taste wise and health wise.
Buying local food also helps the environment. Food that grocery stores buy tends to travel a long way to get to their stores and usually get there through transport trucks. The miles from those transports adds up over time and help add to the pollution in our environment. Whereas, local food doesn't have to travel that far to get from the gardens they're picked to your neighborhood.
Other great reasons why you should buy and eat local food include: eating food that is seasonal, gets you closer to your community and the people who inhabit it, they are made up of less harmful contaminants, gives you more variety, which leads you to trying out new recipes that you couldn't before, and you get to support land development in a socially responsible way, just to name a few.
As you can see, there are many, many reasons why you should buy and eat local food. If you don't believe us, ask any catering company or food truck owner who uses predominantly local food and they'll tell you how many compliments they get about the local food.

And my not just knowledge but sympathy and identification with the Jewish experience is rooted in part because of the historic connection between the African American freedom movement here in the United States and the civil rights efforts of Jewish Americans and some of the same impulses that led to the creation of Israel.That's it--that's the whole comparison?
As everyone knows, Obama is an excellent and professional speaker--he doesn't spell out the comparison; he just lets his audience interpret the metaphor for themselves. Or maybe it's just Obama's emotional detachment.
And Shmuel Rosner is not impressed:
Doesn't fly with Israelis: the story about Jewish Americans working alongside African-Americans. This is very powerful with liberal American Jews, but is a story that most Israelis don't know much about and don't much care about.On the other hand, remember when Condoleezza Rice made it much more personal when she made the same comparison, but in the other direction:
Like many of you, I grew up around the home-grown terrorism of the 1960s. The bombing of the church in Birmingham in 1963 is one that will forever be in my memory because one of the little girls who died was a friend of mine. Forty years removed from that tragedy, I can honestly say that Denise McNair and others didn't die in vain. They and all who suffered and struggled for civil and human rights helped to reintroduce America to its founding ideals. And because of their sacrifice, America is a better nation and a better example to a world where difference is still often taken as a license to kill.
But knowing what we know about the difficulties of our own history, knowing what we know about how hard it is to build democracy, we need to be humble in singing freedom's praises.
But we should not let our voice waver in speaking out on the side of people who are seeking freedom. And we must never, ever indulge in the condescending voices who allege that some people in Africa or in the Middle East are just not interested in freedom, they're culturally just not ready for freedom or they just aren't ready for freedom's responsibilities.
We've heard that argument before, and we, more than any, as a people, should be ready to reject it. The view was wrong in 1963 in Birmingham, and it is wrong in 2003 in Baghdad and in the rest of the Middle East. [emphasis added]At the same time, Rice was even more explicit with her comparison:
For Dr. Rice, the struggle of the Palestinians is analogous to that of the African-Americans for civil rights and she identifies with the Palestinians. She recalled what it meant to travel in segregated buses as a little girl in Alabama. She also compared the head of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, to Reverend Martin Luther King, because, in her mind, both were committed to peace. According to reporter Aluf Benn, Rice views Abbas as committed to the struggle for Palestinian independence and, like Martin Luther King, opposed to terror and violence (Haaretz, October 16, 2007). Independently, David Bedein reported Rice's statements in The Bulletin (Philadelphia, October 17, 2007).You can argue about the logic of her comparing Reverend King and Abbas--and many did--but Rice's comparison came across as heartfelt.
Listening to Obama, it just comes across as part of a new political tact he is taking with Israel, as he emphasizes direct talks between Israel and the PA instead of talking about a settlement freeze.
At least until after the mid-term elections.

Memrise flashcards are only as good as the person who made them. I struggle with making Memrise ones that I can answer correctly. How to provide enough information in the English so that I can properly answer?
I've made decks with Glossika and Korean Digital Academy sentences. I then later struggle to remember … on this one, does it have the 나는 or did I omit it? Which level of politeness? What gender am I suppose to answer as? Am I answering as someone younger or older? Do I need the particles, or are they omitted in this response?
In the Glossika sentences, I trip up when they are replies to a question. The English response might be "yes, I am" but it wants "yes, I am hungry" in Korean. Or something else if "yes, I am" is answering another question. Argh.
Flashcards trip me up all the time. Don't even get me started when Memrise gets into making me type the whole sentence, and I forget a period at the end or have an extra space.
I can get around that by entering a lot of extra correct responses, including where the word order can be a bit flexible. However, it all adds to making the process of creating flashcards onerous.
I tried putting the last Korean syllable on to the English sentence, as my hint to myself what sentence ending I am looking for (야 for example on some Glossika sentences). This caused me trouble when I given the Korean and need to type in English (did I or didn't I have the 야 when I wrote the English?)
All this ends up with me getting far more wrong responses and having to work the cards even longer. I kind of hate flashcards. It is this endless test cycle with test questions that are poorly designed … BY ME! Self torture. Haha. I laugh at myself every day.
I don't know if I should answers as a female or a male. Here, I imported the text file from Rob's worksheet and missed editing out one of his two options.
Here, I answered with 나는 but on this flashcard it is omitted. I need to provide an alternate text saying my answer is correct.
The other issue is when I am asked to type in the entire sentence, and I discover halfway through that I am in the wrong keyboard mode (English instead of Korean), have to delete what I typed, then quick quick try to retype the answer before the timer runs out. My speed at typing in not so good, so typing entire sentences is what I hate the most, especially considering the other uncertainties of what the right answer might be.
All in all, one word flashcards are a lot easier to handle than my full sentence flashcards.

Hi Everyone! I know you all love beautiful, tidy images and clean spaces on your blog posts, but how's your house doing in reality? Personally, it's not top on my priority list, till I know I have visitors on their way, in which case I need all the amazing tools I can find, in a hurry.
Following a very late, over-enthusiastic Latte at our favourite restaurant last night, I could really not get to sleep. Caffeine overload in the veins. So I took my favourite cleaning tool and did a little house work. Weird I know ! I could have blogged or read. But I do PC work all day and my house needed a little more attention - at 12 midnight.
This is simply the most amazing tool I have ever come across.
- I have serious soap scum on our shower walls from a very enthusiastic shower lover - NOTHING removes this scum - except this tool
- I have a lovely modified Sitz Bad . BUT It's coating resists all my conventional cleaners, but it attract scum and skin cells like a magnet - this tool gets it clean
- We live on a farm. My children are permanently dirty and have even dirtier shoes and feet. (NO You cant wash humans with this !!.) As a result my bathroom floor, the white grouting goes very close to black....its pretty aweful. I have historically sat for hours with the only thing that seem to work - vinegar and Bicarb of soda and an old toothbrush. This is enough to make anyone HATE house work.
...BUT LAST NIGHT I HAD AN EPIPHANY......my wonder tool cleans the grout in 1 or 2 gentle swipes.
This is such a funny thing for me to blog about but honestly people, I run a large house without help and time is of the absolute essence with all that I'm trying to achieve. As a result house work does not rank high on my gotta spend-hours-on-this list.
So if you are a blogger, entrepreneur, mom, home school teacher, farmer, online marketer, bookkeeper, accountant, ......and you have a house to clean! PLEASE go out and get your hands on these along with a pair of wash up gloves - cause you gonna use them frequently
Lots of love
Yours in productivity and getting all your ducks in a row as quickly as possible
Malinda @ 1minutemom

"Why Canada? "
One of The advantages of Canada is its cultural diversity. Thousands of
immigrants from all over the world arrive to Canada every year to
start a new life. Therefore, the country has a very multicultural society,
and this fact represents a great advantage for new immigrants, since
Canadians are very friendly with people from all different backgrounds.
Canada was built up over more than one hundred years by immigrants
from all over the world, and Asians have played a role in Canadian
society. This fact has resulted in equal opportunities in business,
academics, and even politics. Asian communities have been
established in Canada for more than a century. Actually, two of the
largest Asian communities outside Asia are in Toronto and Vancouver.
In most of these cities, Chinese newspapers, Television, and Chinese
groceries are available!
You'll also get a FREE report on how to get started with the immigration process!

Trosic I, Busljeta I, Kasuba V, Rozgaj R (2002)
Adult male rats were exposed for 2h a day, 7 days a week for up to 30 days to continuous 2450 MHz radiofrequency microwaves. The power density range of 5-10 mW/ cm² corresponded to an approximate SAR of 1-2 W/kg. There were 40 rats in the experimental group and 30 in a sham-exposed group. The 40 exposed animals were divided into 4 sub-groups of ten, which were exposed for 2, 8, 15 or 30 days. At the end of each exposure period, peripheral blood smears were examined for immature erythrocytes, detected by polychromasia, and for micronuclei.
The percentage of immature erythrocytes was significantly increased at 2, 8, and 15 days in the exposed animals, suggesting that the proliferation and maturation of red blood cells were affected by the RF exposure. By the 30th day a steady-state balance of immature to mature erythrocytes had been achieved.
The incidence of micronuclei was significantly increased in the subgroup exposed to 8 days of radiation. The authors suggest that the absence of micronucleated red cells at the later stages of the experiment could have been due to the efficient removal of these cells by the spleen. In this respect the rat is different from mice (which have been used in other research studies), but similar to the human.
