DSS and SRS supporters protested on Nikola Pasic square again and claimed that "Kosovo is Serbia". A few days earlier, Dveri and Nasi also shouted "Kosovo is Serbia", this time in Orasac, at prime minister Ana Brnabic. The "lion" Vucic himself repeated the same thing in Munich (almost in the München of the 1930s beerhouse manner). DSS, SRS, Dveri and Nasi, however, don't believe that he really means this. They suspect him of treason and protest against his regime.
DSS and SRS don't even trust Dveri and Nasi and protest separately from them. Most probably, Dveri and Nasi also suspect DSS and SRS. It doesn't end there, as DSS doesn't trust SRS, either. From DSS and Dveri's perspective, SRS is only pretending to oppose the regime. On the other side, Nasi probably don't trust Dveri, since Dveri have joined SZS, together the with patriotically questionable opposition parties. And yet, they are all united by the slogan "Kosovo is Serbia".
Now let's imagine that we are looking at the political situation in Serbia from Mars. What does it look like? From this perspective, it seems that the government is trying to save Kosovo, since the previous government almost lost it. In addition, this government originally took power from the previous one under the slogan "Kosovo is Serbia". However, to our surprise, leaders of the previous government, now in the opposition, are trying to bring down the current regime and take power using the same slogan – "Kosovo is Serbia". To make matters worse, the opposition is divided into several groups and each one claims "Kosovo is Serbia".
What does this situation look like to our hypothetical observer from Mars? First: all Serbian governments have claimed that Kosovo is Serbia. Second: political society in Serbia is sharply divided into groups which all firmly believe that Kosovo is Serbia. Since this is so, the observer might ask about the point of changing the government in Serbia? And also: how are Serbian voters able to differentiate between political options which all claim the same thing – that Kosovo is Serbia?
A well-meaning citizen of Serbia might try to explain to the observer from Mars that, in Serbia, there is actually no politics. Because everything the politicians do can be reduced to a witch-hunt for traitors (of Kosovo). To make everyone believe that your political opponent is a traitor (of Kosovo) is the only point of Serbia's otherwise pointless politics.
Having learned this, the observer from Mars can go home in peace. After all, we didn't even need him in the first place. We could have asked ourselves about the point of politics where all options say the same thing. Various individuals claiming that Kosovo is Serbia have been in power, one after another, for three decades at this point. Now, at the beginning of the fourth decade, the only legitimate alternative to the regime are still just a bunch of people shouting "Kosovo is Serbia".
Is there any other important issue in Serbia, besides the so-called "Kosovo issue"? No! – comes the unanimous reply from both the current regime and the otherwise fragmented opposition parties. DSS won't joint Savez za Srbiju (SzS) because Kosovo is Serbia. Dveri and Narodna stranka joined SzS because Kosovo is Serbia. SzS is trying to bring down Vucic because Kosovo is Serbia. Vucic won't give up power because Kosovo is Serbia. Political pressure is high, people are protesting, the crisis is at its peak and everyone is shouting – "Kosovo is Serbia". If you take all mentions of Kosovo out of Serbian politics, the majority of Serbian politicians will have nothing to say at all.
"Kosovo" is not the name of a piece of land which has been outside Serbia for almost two decades. It is a code or dog-whistle for Serbian political vanity. A code for incompetence and inability to design and construct a decent state. After every cry of "Kosovo is Serbia", comes an echo which we are desperately trying not to hear – "Serbia is pathetic".

Balustrades are ever so popular in residential homes and commercial offices. Balustrades come in many types of materials and serve different functions. They can be a decorative piece, or they can be used for safety. In some cases, balustrades serve both purposes as a decorative piece that also provides safety. Balustrades can be made out of a variety of materials. These include wood, stone, iron, glass, metal, and plastic. Balustrades can be made out of almost anything, and the material that you will choose will depend on the type of balustrade to be constructed and the function of the balustrade.
Where are Balustrades Used?
Balustrades are used in a variety of situations in both residential and commercial environments. In commercial environments, balustrades are used on stairs and on second stories, as well, if there is an open centre. A lot of times, companies use glass balustrades because it gives the place a more modern vibe and gives the business a sense of transparency. For instance, if customers are on the first floor, and the second-floor balustrades are made of glass, consumers can still see what is going on upstairs.
In residential homes, balustrades are used for staircases to keep children and the elderly alike from getting hurt. They are also used on balconies, decks, and porches for the safety of occupants. If your home has a pool and you have pets or small children, you will certainly want a balustrade for safety purposes. In many cases you do not want the obstruction of a fence around your pool. Clients have the option of glass balustrades. You get the safety of knowing you have a safety fence around the pool, and you still have the beautiful view for you and your family to enjoy.
Residential WA balustrading is commonly hired for both function and design. You don't want your balustrades sticking out like a sore thumb. The experts can help you give a combination of functional safety, and their balustrades are made out of materials to match the décor on the inside or outside of your home.

The professionals offer a variety of services to fit your every need when it comes to balustrades. If you are unsure of what you need or the best route to take when it comes to your new balustrade, the friendly and knowledgeable staff are happy to discuss your specific needs and the options available to you.

Tom Hardy on

Movie Interviews

is full of familiar faces like Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Michael Caine and the one behind the camera, Christopher Nolan. One you might not recognize is Tom Hardy. You've seen him in British gangster movies and
Star Trek: Nemesis
, but he's front and center in
's ensemble action.
Tom Hardy Enters Inception
"The pleasure was that there wasn't actually that much [action], to be honest with you," Hardy said. "I'd just come off a cage fighting film and I'd been pretty badly beaten up. I was a bit broken. I had broken toes and ribs and wrist. It was nice to wear nice suits and have a tan and slippers and cardigans. It wasn't until the end of the shoot when we went to Calgary that they wrote in a couple of extra skidoo scenes and introduced me to a pair of skis for the first time in my life and then tied me to the back of the skidoo in desperation to get the shot as quickly as possible and expediently sent me up the top of the mountain and then down it several times, giving me claymores and hand grenades and a rifle and I went back to business, which I enjoy thoroughly."
It's the multi-layered dream world that allows Hardy to go from one extreme to the other. Audiences may delight in trying to figure out what level of consciousness is which, but it was easy for the actors on set.
"For me, personally, it was easy to orientate which dream sequence I was in because of my costume. If in doubt, I could just look at my shoes and say, 'Oh! I know which dream I'm in.'"
opens to theaters on July 16th.

The Overlord of the Dagbon state, Ya-Na Abubakari Mahama on Sunday made a triumphant entry to the Manhyia Palace to join Otumfuo Osei Tutu II to mark the Akwasidae kesei.
The Akwasidae Kesei would climax the 20th Anniversary celebration of his enstoolment as the 16th occupant of the Golden stool.
Ya-Na Mahama who was accompanied by a long retinue of chiefs rode on a horse amidst a beautiful display of the Dagomba traditional dance " Damba", to the admiration of the enthusiastic crowd which gathered at Bodwawe, the venue of the event.
The crowd spontaneously rose up to catch a glimpse of the new Overlord who was clad in his beautiful royal traditional attire.
Ya- Na's entry into the Manhyia palace is significant, following the role Otumfuo Osei Tutu played in the settlement of the long chieftaincy disputes in the Dragon traditional area.
The visit is seen as a show of appreciation to the Asantehene for his untiring effort to bring a lasting peace to Dagbon people.
In January, 2019 the new Ya-Na Abubakari Mahama was chosen in Yendi by the Dagbon state kingmakers.
This was after a peace initiative by the Committee of Eminent Chiefs led by Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

OMB has been pushing to replace the benchmark for the contractor employee compensation cap for several years. As of December 26th, the President signed into law not one, but two new benchmarks. Problem is, we don't know for sure which one will be implemented. Worse, the old cap will still apply in certain circumstances, meaning some contracts will be under the old cap and some under the new cap – for years to come!

Despite the efforts of the NFL's hype machine, these are the two weeks between the conference championships and the Super Bowl when nothing much really happens.
But if you're a minority media outlet in Western New York looking to share in the Buffalo Bills' multimillion-dollar marketing budget, it's like that 52 weeks a year.
Despite the number of African-American players on the Bills roster and football's popularity across demographic lines, Buffalo's black media outlets say they get virtually no advertising or promotional business from the team despite reaching out to the franchise.
"They don't spend any with media outlets of color," said Pat Freeman, sports director at WUFO 1080-AM.
Now, Freeman is taking his case for marketing equity directly to the NFL. He has written Commissioner Roger Goodell, a Jamestown native, and is following up with another letter this week after getting no response. He also will bring it up at Goodell's State of the League address next week if he gets a chance to ask a question.
A league and a team that are so image-conscious should not want that type of embarrassment.
Citing DiscoverOrg, a marketing information firm, Freeman notes that the Bills, who did not respond to requests for comment, have a $29 million marketing budget. The hope is that Terry and Kim Pegula, who bought the Sabres in 2011 and the Bills in 2014, will rectify the spending disparities as they learn more about a community in which minority groups constantly have to fight for inclusion.
"But it's our responsibility to bring it to their attention," said Freeman, who credits the new regime with promptly responding to an inquiry. He said that Pegula Sports & Entertainment cited its exclusivity agreement with WGR Radio but that it would look at that going forward.
However, that arrangement doesn't preclude other efforts.
"Print is another story. If you can't advertise with WUFO, why can't you advertise with the Criterion and the Challenger?" Freeman said, referring to the popular African-American weeklies.
And WUFO owner Sheila Brown says there are other things the team could do – ticket or jersey giveaways to contest winners, for instance – with the community-oriented public affairs station whose sports talk shows discuss the Bills extensively and draw an audience that other outlets may not.
The team has done some advertising in the Challenger and Criterion in the last three decades, but not much. Spending just a fraction of its marketing dollars with minority media outlets could have a huge impact on those small businesses while also expanding the fan base and telling those readers, listeners and Web browsers that the Bills value them as patrons. As one owner put it, "It would be like a personal invitation to come out and enjoy the game."
Of course, it's not just the Bills. Media outlets of color say they get little advertising from most of the area's major institutions. But they see the Bills as a market leader whose efforts could influence others to also reach out through black and Hispanic media.
Such a shift would help validate the Pegulas' "One Buffalo" marketing campaign, and prove that it's more than just an empty slogan.

KEARNEY, Neb. (KSNB) - Junior reserve forward Austin Luger had his first career double double and Nebraska-Kearney held Nebraska Christina to 24 percent shooting to post a 73-39 win Wednesday afternoon in the Health & Sports Center.
UNK's bench celebrates a made three pointer against Nebraska Christian.
Playing for the first time since December 18, UNK improves to 7-4 while the Sentinels remain at 9-4 as this was an exhibition game per National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA). Earlier this season NCC fell in similar games at Wayne State, Augustana, Newman and Missouri Western State.
A school of 150 from Papillion, Nebraska Christian shot out to an 8-1 lead three minutes in as it went 6 of 6 at the line and hit a bucket. However UNK woke up on "New Year's Day", leading 17-12 by the 7:39 mark and then 36-16 at the half.
"It was a game we needed. We had nine consecutive days off so we had to face some outside competition to get ourselves going," UNK head coach Kevin Lofton said. "I thought we got off to a really slow start but as the game wore on we started to sharpen up."
The Lopers ended game with nine steals, a season-high six blocks and tallied 32 points off 23 NCC turnovers. Nebraska Christian finished 14 of 45 from the field including a 0 of 11 effort from behind the arc. Finally a taller UNK team fed the post all day to tally 30 points in the paint.
"Defensively we did a good job throughout the game. What I really like about this team is the way we share the basketball. We had some really good possessions today where we had guys turn down open shots for an even better one," Lofton said.
Luger (Alliance) had team-highs in both points (14) and rebounds (11) as he made 4 of 7 shots and went 6 of 6 at the line in 24 minutes of work. Eight of his boards came at the defensive end and he also was one of eight Lopers to have an assist.
Shooting 60 percent (12 of 20) in the first half, UNK also got double digit efforts by Iowa senior forward Kyle Juhl (11) and Kansas senior forward Morgan Soucie (10). Juhl had nine of his points in the second half with Soucie tallying all of his points in the opening 20 minutes. Finally Bellevue redshirt freshman reserve wing Cedric Johnson had seven points, two boards, two steals and an assist.
"We definitely have to continue to improve defensively, we have to find a way to hold our own on the defensive boards, get some offensive rebounds, cut down on our turnovers and continue to improve our free throw shooting. I think all those are key things heading into MIAA play," Lofton said.
UNK returns to MIAA play this weekend when it hosts Pittsburg State Saturday afternoon and Missouri Southern State Monday night.

Procurement as a service acts like a central purchasing department
The system of managed services works, because service providers can be better controlled by means of service level agreements, and the procured services can be scaled down or up at any time. In addition, companies benefit from expertise they don't have to provide themselves, and they also have access to components of service which they could not cover with their own demand volume.
Potential for indirect needs
What has become established in the IT world can be successfully transferred to services which are not part of one's own core business. A great example for this is the purchasing of indirect needs, the so-called "indirects"-ideally fully processed via an electronic catalogue system with high efficiency and compliant process reliability. The procurement of indirects just happens - it is always a developed process, which is handled differently in each company unit. Due to a lack of capacity and strategic importance, the procurement of these needs is often "just also done somehow". From a human and individual perspective this is certainly understandable, however, taking into account that indirect requirements are present in almost all company areas, tie up expensive capacities and are associated with high processing costs, this is an area where companies are losing money. A lot of money, if one consolidates the company-wide potential. Often up to 20% of the total costs are spent this way, as experience shows.
Synergy effects in mergers and acquisitions
Procurement as a service approach (PaaS) makes sense when it is not viable to reserve resources for tasks that are not part of the core business. The service provider takes over the supplier search, supplier qualification, market observation, framework contract design and price negotiations. The operative ordering remains within the company and is continuously automated at reduced process costs. The service provider, through cross-company bundling and corresponding market power, secures customer benefits, ensures that demand is met at best prices and at best possible service levels. PaaS is particularly interesting for company acquisitions and mergers in order to increase synergy effects, as indirect requirements are oft identical and less sensitive than requirements that flow directly into the product. The cross-company bundling and implementation of corresponding advantages can quickly be established with manageable effort and the managed service approach acts like a powerful central purchasing department. The positive side effects include quick wins with lasting effect.
Much more than office supplies
One might quickly think of office supplies, a goods group in which most consumers recognise the interchangeability, however, there are many other needs which offer lucrative potential for savings if professionally set up, and relieve in-house staff. These needs include services such as temporary employment management, fleet management, packaging material requirements, as well as additional services as per individual agreements. In addition to high quality and an attractive prices in the respective goods groups, PaaS should also focus on an efficient procurement process. A process is efficient, when it is largely automated. The ordering process for small needs can quickly cost EUR 100 and more. This is not a new situation, but still value-destroying. A digitalised purchase-to-pay process needs to be ensured. This is where managed services providers offer an additional strength to companies who don't have a catalogue solution in place.
The managed service provider offers both a platform and relevant suppliers with catalogue link, without huge investment costs, in a short period of time. A standardised implementation saves costs, effort and ensures success. Using cloud solutions, other company units can be connected quickly without the need for system compatibilities or new expensive hardware. Standard interfaces in one's own ERP system offer the corresponding flexibility. Companies that already have a catalogue solution in place, can also be quickly linked via standardised interfaces.
Managed service not only works in the world of IT, but also offers a lucrative potential for optimisation, particularly in indirect purchasing, while at the same time relieving in-house staff. A time and cost-intensive individual connection is not required, which allows for quick results. Not last, PaaS offers a cross-company bundling potential with price, performance and process advantages.

Ji Dong-won deserves all the plaudits after his brace against Dortmund recently.
Nick Bidwell's Notes From Germany: Ji Dong-won Was Two Goal Hero Against Dortmund
One, two, Ji. The two-goal hero of the hour as Augsburg eased their relegations fears with a shock 2-1 home victory over league leaders Dortmund, South Korean attacker Ji Dong-won very much deserves his share of good fortune
The 27-year-old striker or winger, now in his third spell with FCA, had been on a bread and water diet for most of this term, often confined to the bench and sidelined for three months after damaging knee ligaments while celebrating a goal against Mainz in September.
But all of a sudden the forgotten man is scorching hot again, not only delivering the all-important brace to see off Dortmund, but also on the score-sheet a couple of weeks earlier in a 3-2 defeat to Bayern Munich. Clearly the bigger stakes, the bettter he likes it. Just 12 months ago, FCA were happy to send him on loan to second division Darmstadt. Now Augsburg hope to offer him a new contract.
With only a few months left on his current deal, that has to be the priority for the Augsburg top brass. In a line-leading role against Dortmund, he was quite sensational, forever exposing opposition defenders with his intelligent positioning, adhesive touch on the ball and non-stop exuberance.
No one in the Dortmund rearguard seemed to know how to handle him and his second goal in particular was a masterclass, latching on to a misplaced pass from 'Schwarz-Gelben' full-back Achraf Hakimi, sprinting clear and turning stopper Dan-Axel Zagadou inside and out before calmly clipping the ball home.
"His second goal was absolutely world-class," enthused Augsburg general manager Stefan Reuter. "It was a stroke of genius. The highest quality. Brilliant. This was a remarkable performance. He fought for every ball, worked so hard and was rewarded with both our goals.."
His substantial role in the downfall of Dortmund – only the Black-and-Yellows' second defeat of the campaign – would have been especially satisfying for the Korean. He spent an unhappy six months on the Dortmund roster in 2014-15, handicapped by a knee problem and never rising above the station of bit-part reserve teamer. He simply could not wait to return to Augsburg.
Once on the books of Premier League Sundertland, Ji attributes his form explosion to a simple shot of confidence. "Right now, I feel there's much faith in me. That helps so much. I recently saw my good friend (and fellow countryman) Heung-Min Son score for Tottenham against Dortmund in the Champions League. I thought I could do that too."

What We Learned This Week
1. Sinking Schalke
Despite Schalke's lowly league position (14th) and terrible results of late – the 4-0 home loss to newly-promoted Fortuna Dusseldorf was the Royal Blues' sixth Bundesliga match without a win – the board are reported to be standing by coach Domenico Tedesco. Well, at least for now. The Gelsenkirchener are seven points above the relegation zone and if any more humiliations ensue, the panic button may well be pressed. They don't do patience or indulgence here.
2. Kaiser's Bayern blessing.
Franz Beckenbauer, the iconic ex-Bayern Munich and Germany libero and coach, is backing his former club to prevail over Dortmund in what promises to a nerve-jangling title run-in. " Dortmund had a fantastic Autumn Championship, " Der Kaiser told Bild. " However football is to a great extent played in the mind and they have got into a log-jam (just one Bundesliga victory in five). If they can find the solution to it, they will be strong again. The only question is when. I've had the feeling for a while that Bayern have turned the corner. "

Foreign Minister Gerry Brownlee has condemned yesterday's test launch of a ballistic missile by North Korea.
"UN Security Council resolutions prohibit North Korean ballistic missiles. North Korea's disregard for its obligations under these resolutions continues to be of deep concern," Mr Brownlee says.
"New Zealand strongly urges North Korea to start taking responsibility and contribute to the stability to the region.
"This is the eighth test conducted by North Korea this year, some with multiple missiles.
"We will continue to support sanctions and international efforts to address this situation.
"The extent of sanctions will be dependent on North Korea's action," Mr Brownlee says.

VLCC Basil & Mulberry Insta Glow Fairness Natural Bathing Bar
Hi beauties. Here I am with my second review, a product from VLCC. Me and my mom; we are both suckers for exotic fragrances especially in bathing accessories which are like transparent. It may be anything, we want it. Can you believe I actually gifted my mom an assortment of exotic fragrant range of soaps (transparent) for her birthday? Ya we really do that a lot.
- Price: Rs 85/- shade for 125 grams.You can buy it online.
- Packaging: if you have already tried them, they come in standard VLCC or Lotus packaging, wrapped up in a transparent sheet with the print on the paper. I actually think cardboard box ones are better.
It's easy to travel with no mess so that's fine for me.
- Product: its transparent golden honey in colour, square shaped with rounded edges. The soap is bigger and thicker than what you see in this picture here. It will easily come for one month if used by one person for 2 time's every day.
- Fragrance: it has really amazing fragrance. My whole cupboard smelt of this even before the package was opened. I used to just open my shelf to smell this one. It smells of mulberry I am guessing and with a hint of basil in it. Fragrance wise it scores completely.
- Working: coming to the actual working part, it lathers moderately. I am not whiny about creamy rich lather if it cleans up pretty and this does the job well. My skin feels smooth and soft. Dry skinned beauties out there will need moisturizing though oily girls will love this. It's good to use on facial skin as well. My whole bathroom literally is exotic and the smell lingers for at least 3 hours on m skin and around 5 hours in my bathroom (wink). My skin does not itch or anything so I think the basil is working up pretty well. (I have that problem since I have sensitive skin)
- Claims:Â coming to what it claimed, the glow thing, yes it does give a good glowing skin on regular usage. I have seen that it even toned my skin and removed a light tan I had on my hands
What I like about VLCC Basil & Mulberry Insta Glow Fairness Natural Bathing Bar:-
- Wonderful exotic fragrance
- Good quantity for the price
- Cleans up pretty well
- Makes skin smooth and non drying
- Even tones and may remove light tan on regular usage
- Smell lingers quite for sometime
- No harsh chemicals
- Contains the goodness of basil, almonds and mulberry
What I don't VLCC Basil & Mulberry Insta Glow Fairness Natural Bathing Bar:
- Nothing though creamy rich lather loving people may not like it
Rating:Â 4.5/5
Final Thoughts:Â yes it is definitely worth buying and that for that smell yes I am gonna get it again.
Have you tried VLCC Basil & Mulberry Insta Glow Fairness Natural Bathing Bar?

This lazy baked Greek chicken is a great weeknight meal but fancy enough to impress guests as well. You'll love the flavors and the presentation.
I currently have a free subscription to Rachael Ray's magazine, but I really like it, so much that I might actually pay for the next year of it. This is from her magazine, I don't know which month because I tore the page out, but it was recent, perhaps January 2011?
Lazy Baked Greek Chicken
This lazy baked Greek chicken is a great weeknight meal but fancy enough to impress guests as well. You'll love the flavors and the presentation.
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
One 10-ounce box organic chopped spinach, thawed
Salt and pepper
Freshly grated nutmeg to taste
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon dried oregano
4 pieces skinless, boneless chicken breast
1/2 cup crumbled greek feta cheese
- Preheat the oven to 425*F. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and two-thirds of the garlic and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool, then add the spinach and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Melt the butter in the same pan, turn off the heat and add the panko, oregano and garlic, toss.
- Drizzle a baking dish with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Split each chicken breast across but not through and open like a book (be careful, you can easily cut yourself doing this!). Stuff with the spinach and feta, letting the stuffing overflow at the edges. Place the chicken pieces in the baking dish and top with the breadcrumbs. Bake until the juices run clear, about 20-35 minutes.
adapted from Rachael Ray Magazine
Verdict: SO good! I loved this chicken. The crust was so crispy and delicious and flavorful. It presents well, and looks like a difficult dish to make, but it really isn't too hard to make.
Husband's take: My husband likes almost everything, which is one of the many things I love about him. He is finicky about garlic and onions though. So if I was to make this for him again, I would a) leave out the onions and b) reduce the garlic further than I already did. But if I was going to make it for just me, I would leave it just as it was!
Changes I would make: See above.
Difficulty: Moderate. Actually pretty easy. Looks more intimidating than it actually is.


text: 13 Things That Are Easier Than Qualifying For The U.S. Open\nThe USGA announced last month it received a record 10,127 entries for the 2014 U.S. Open, eclipsing last year's previous record of 9,860 applicants. With 74 of the 156 spots in the Open field already claimed via exemptions, close to 10,000 golfers are fighting, then, in local and sectional qualifiers for the remaining 82 tee times. By our math, that gives hopefuls a 0.81 percent chance not to win or make the cut but just to qualify for the tournament at Pinehurst -- a quarter of a percentage point less than when we first explored this a year ago. How daunting are the odds of earning a trip to North Carolina? Here are some of the things easier to do than qualifying for the national championship.\nIt's easier to...\n\nGet into Harvard\n\nHarvard University may be one of the most prestigious schools in the world, and the most selective of all the Ivies, but its exclusivity pales in comparison to the U.S. Open. Harvard admitted 5.9 percent of its applicants in 2014, making it about six times more likely for a Harvard applicant to get into the school than a U.S. Open applicant getting into the U.S. Open.\nWin the Cy Young Award\n\nAssuming you've made your way into a starting rotation for an MLB team (easier said than done, we admit), your chances of winning baseball's most prestigious pitching award are marginally better than competing at Pinehurst. With 30 MLB teams each boasting five-man rotations (the award is almost always won by a starter), and two Cy Youngs available each year (one for the American League and one for the National), each pitcher has a roughly 1.3 percent chance of winning the award.\nWin the Triple Crown\n\nTriple Crown winners don't come along very often: there hasn't been one since 1979, and there have only been 11 in the past 94 years. But even their odds are far more favorable than those grinding through qualifying. Before his win at the Kentucky Derby in May, bookmakers at William Hill gave California Chrome 7/1 odds (equal to a little more than 12 percent) of winning the Triple Crown.\nTo make more than $394,000\n\nThe top one percent of Americans have an average pretax income of $394,000, according to the IRS. As already noted, an applicant's chances of making it to the 2014 U.S. Open are 0.81 percent. So, it's more likely that a randomly selected American makes more than $394,000 than a randomly selected U.S. Open applicant plays in the Open.\nGo to prison\n\nWith about 10 million people filtering in and out of correctional facilities every year, the U.S. locks up a higher percentage of its population than any other country. According to a report from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1 in 32 Americans are either in prison, in jail or on parole, compared to the less than 1 in 100 applicants who qualify for the U.S. Open.\nBreak out of prison\n\nContinuing on the prison theme: Exact numbers aren't always easy to come by, but it looks that for most of recent history, prisoners have had a slightly better chance of breaking free than golfers have of qualifying for the U.S. Open, especially in state prisons. The numbers have since declined, but in 1993 almost two percent -- or 14,305 out of 780,357 -- of state prisoners escaped.\nBe a psychopath\n\nYup, it looks as though it's more likely to be born a psychopath than to qualify for the U.S. Open. A psychopath is described as someone having little or no empathy for others or feelings of remorse. A number of high-profile experts are on record saying that a little more than one in 100 people are born psychopaths, with many finding their way into corporate boardrooms, courtrooms, and other similar positions.\nThat you'll have twins\n\nIt's possible to shift your odds slightly one way or the other, but in the United States multiple births occur in about 3 percent of all pregnancies, making it almost four times more likely to happen to someone than qualifying for the year's second major.\nBe color blind\n\nA stat that perhaps goes unnoticed by most, but roughly 7 percent of males in the U.S. are red-green color blind, making it more than seven times more likely to happen than qualifying for the U.S. Open. And not even golfers are immune: Jack Nicklaus has been red-green color blind his whole life. He once recalled looking at the leader board during his final round of the 1963 Masters -- a tournament he would go on to win -- and not being able to distinguish the under-par red numbers from the over-par green. "How many of those numbers are red?" Nicklaus asked his caddie. "Just you, boss," he responded.\nThat you're someone who showers less than once a week\n\nBelieve it or not, about one in 100 people in the United States shower less than once a week. It's a good thing (for our noses) those odds aren't any higher, but they're still better than the 1 in 125 applicants who qualify for the U.S. Open.\nGet audited by the IRS\n\nThe percentage of people who get audited by the IRS increases along with the income bracket, but overall 1 percent of the more than 143 million total tax returns filed get audited. That makes it about 0.25 percent more likely to happen than teeing it up at Pinehurst.\nGet elected Pope\n\nJorge Mario Bergoglio officially became Pope Frances on March 13, 2013, under circumstances not much tougher then qualifying for the U.S. Open. With only one Pope slot to fill and with 115 electors in the conclave, each cardinal had a .86 percent chance of being elected Pope, making it .05 percent more likely than each applicant's chance of playing at the Open.\nHave the earth destroyed by a supernova\n\nBad news. Over the ten next billion years, the earth has a one percent chance of being destroyed by an explosion in space (a supernova), according to some experts. That's about a quarter of a percentage point higher than qualifying for the U.S. Open this year.

Nothing Worse
originally written & posted 10 Nov 15 Truly there is no worse consequence than this one: Separation from God. We were designed for relationship with Him. Our sin caused a chasm between us in that relationship. Jesus knew. He asked if there be any other way, if He could be spared. There was no other way. I had always thought that He must have been afraid of the physical and emotional tortures. It hit me like a truck recently that those were not the worst things He had to face. Only on the

www.bittermedicineblogs.com -- The Haitian Revolution (1791 - 1804) marked the end of slavery and French control. The Haitian Revolution was directly influenced by the French Revolution (1789) and the innate desire of kidnapped and subjugated (Black/African/Haitian) people to be free.
The French endured an absolute monarchy (King Louis XVI) and an overall feudal system, that left the country nearly bankrupt, and saw its citizens (poor and peasantry) heavily taxed. The poor and peasantry rioted and looted, resulting in 17,000+ people being killed. Their actions were not random: they looted and burned the homes of tax collectors, landlords, and the elite. Blacks in Amerikkka can learn from this! Attack them, their belongings, and where THEY stay -- NOT where YOU stay.
The turmoil led to the "Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen", a document/declaration to replace the old ways with a system based on equal opportunity, representation, freedom of speech etc., but it did not really work, as it led to more turmoil. This turmoil saw the demise of King Louis and his wife, Marie Antoinette, aNd ultimately led to the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Napoleonic Era of dominance in Europe.
Haiti, at the time known as Saint Dominique, was France's wealthiest overseas colony due to sugar, coffee, indigo, and cotton- all produced by slave labor. As with all such economies, there are interest groups. Haiti had 5 such interest groups: White masters (the Haitian Elite), petit blancs (Poorer whites, usually teachers shopkeepers etc.), Free Blacks (of which 50% were mulatto, and most wealthier than the petit blancs), Slaves, and Runaways/Maroons. The White slave masters (Elites) were at odds with France due to the heavy taxation and lack of representation in France, when they were contributing a lot to France's coffers, so they wanted Independence from France. However, they wanted to continue slavery, which would see them still make lots of money with none going to France, and France wouldn't have that.
The Elites of Haiti would gain some autonomy in the country when the "Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen" came to be, but the "Declaration" excluded the poor whites. It did afford some autonomy to Free Blacks, which the poor whites hated. Thus a 3-way war was born between White masters/ Elites vs. petit blancs/poor whites vs. Free Blacks. However, the Black slave population was the majority in Haiti, and they were at war with all three of the mentioned groups! The slave population of Haiti identified their enemies and the Black (slave?) population today needs to do the same. Listen to find out more!

Culture of India and Geography: usueful information
India's rich heritage can be found in the language, culture, food and architecture of the country. The first major civilisation developed around 9,000 years along the Indus river valley. The Vedic civilization that followed laid the foundations of Hinduism.
Later, India came under the rule of the Mughals followed by the British. Several European countries, including Portugal, France and Netherlands established their colonies in the country. India gained independence on 15 August 1947 and the country was partitioned to form Pakistan.
Indian classical dance and music is appreciated world-over. Classical dances like kathakali, kuchipudi, kathak and bharatnatyam are infused with mythological elements. Mahabharata and Ramayana are popular works in Indian literature.
India has a varied landscape, from barren dunes of the Thar Desert to the dense tropical forests of the north-eastern region. Most parts of India consist of fertile river plains and high plateaus. India is bounded by the Indian Ocean to the south, the Arabian Sea to the west and the Bay of Bengal on the east. Its neighbouring countries are Pakistan, China, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Sri Lanka.

Many Cases Have Been Revealed—Many cases have been presented before me, and as I have had a view of their inner lives, my soul has been sick and disgusted with the rotten-heartedness of human beings who profess godliness and talk of translation to heaven. I have frequently asked myself, Whom can I trust? Who is free from iniquity?1Testimonies For The Church 2:349.
I am filled with horror as the condition of families professing present truth is opened before me. The profligacy of youth and even children is almost incredible. Parents do not know that secret vice is destroying and defacing the image of God in their children. The sins which characterized the Sodomites exist among them. The parents are responsible, for they have not educated their children to love and obey God. They have not restrained them, nor diligently taught them the way of the Lord. They have allowed them to go out and to come in when they chose, and to associate with worldlings. These worldly influences which counteract parental teaching and authority are to be found largely in so-called good society. By their dress, looks, amusements, they surround themselves with an atmosphere which is opposed to Christ.
Our only safety is to stand as God's peculiar people. We must not yield one inch to the customs and fashions of this degenerate age, but stand in moral independence, making no compromise with its corrupt and idolatrous practices.2Testimonies For The Church 5:78.
The Ignorant to Be Enlightened—No matter how high a person's profession, those who are willing to be

Source of Support: None, Conflict of Interest: None
Background: Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common psychiatric disorder in children. The aim of this study was to investigate factors related to treatment adherence in children with ADHD. Methods: This cross-sectional study was done in 118 children (aged 6–12 years) with ADHD who have been on medications for at least 6 months. The patients were selected based on the convenience sampling method from those who were referred to child psychiatry clinic. Medication Adherence Report Scale, Belief about Medicines Questionnaire specific version, and Children Symptom Inventory-4 were completed by parents and teachers. Findings: Medication adherence had significant negative correlation with inattention scores on teacher-report forms (r = -0.27, P= 0.003) and poor economic status (P = 0.03). There was a positive correlation between medication adherence and history of psychopharmacological treatment in the family (P = 0.01), and father's education level (P = 0.001). Treatment adherence had no significant correlation with age, gender, comorbid disorders, mother's education, family history of ADHD, medication side effects, or parental concerns and beliefs about the necessity of drug use. Conclusion: The factors found to have a correlation with adherence should be taken in to account by clinicians so that adherence can be improved in their patients.
Keywords: Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, children, treatment adherence
Key message: In children with ADHD, adherence to medications is positively correlated with history of psychopharmacological treatment in the family and father′s education level and negatively correlated with inattention scores on teacher-report forms and poor economic status.

I normally shun Time because, like 90% of the rest of American media, it leans far right (as in -wing, as opposed to correct) and I refuse to support such publications.
Last week I bought the 16 June 2014 international issue of Time. In checking the Time web site I was unable to find the US cover, so I do not know whether or not it is different this week. In any case, I have to show you, my readers, how low these bastards have fallen:
It doesn't matter what the article inside actually says or concludes; this cover is the main stream American media telling every single member of the U.S. armed forces that the "leave no man behind" credo that has been a cornerstone of the U.S. military for over 200 years may or may not apply to you depending on if we approve of what you are alleged to have done prior to or during your captivity.

I have nothing at all against them and truthfully, I'll be seeking their advice in a couple years. On the flip side, I often see articles like "Top 10 Amusement Parks to Visit this Summer." However, I currently have a 9 year old stepdaughter who needs a bit more stimulation than a 3 year old, but is not quite a thrill seeker. Now don't get me wrong, there are PLENTY of adventurous 9 year olds. I just don't have one at the moment. As a result, here is a round up of 10 suggestions for our kind of kids activities.

My sample of this problem are here:
Unlike other Animated GIF packages, you can't simply select a color to
be transparent and save the gif. Instead, you have to work frame by
frame :
select a Frame
select the corresponding object
use the magic wand to select the color that you want to be transparent
click the "Selection Options" button at the top-middle
select "Make Selection Area Transparent"
Then repeat for each Frame - what a major hassle !!!
Then, after doing all that - I have an odd "ghosting" problem. The
GIF plays file if I click the "Run" button at the bottom of the Frames
bar - but when I save it, or when I view it in the preview pane - each
image "stays" for the duration until Frame 1 is repeated. The images
stack up and you see this weird trailing effect. Image Ready
(Photoshop companion) does the same thing.
Their help file is miserable - when you search for Transparent there
is one entry with one sentence about it:
"Makes the selected area in the selected object layer transparent"
That's it !!! I emailed them but no response after 2 days.
However, the one free tool, www.gifworks.com works perfectly !! You
simply load the file, click on the color you want to be transparent,
and save the gif. Still this was $44 and I want to get it to work -
any ideas?? Feel free to download the original GIF and see if you
also get that Ghosting effect when you make the outer portions
Transparent - I am so curious to see if you do.

- Zhang Peili is an artist and a curator.
ZHANG PEILI - NOW THAT (solo)
... closedOct 27, 2018 - Dec 9, 2018
Boers-Li Gallery (Beijing, China)
|Zhang Peili
Boers-Li Gallery (Beijing, China)
EXHIBITION SYNOPSISAbout Zhang Peili - Now That
The Boers-Li Gallery is delighted to present this year's much-anticipated solo exhibition by artist Zhang Peili, "Now That". Featuring four of the artist's most recent works, the show marks Zhang's first in-gallery presentation since his two acclaimed international museum solos, "Uplifting" at SMAK in 2018 and "Record. Repeat" at the Art Institute of Chicago in 2017.
Zhang Peili, one of the most respected conceptual Chinese artists working primarily in new media art throughout his artistic practice, has been known for his skepticism of the mainstream, be it on the social, political, or aesthetic level. In recent years, Zhang Peili has entitled many of his solo exhibitions using correlative conjunctions. These short phrases, "Not Only… But also"; "Because… Therefore" and the current edition, "Now That" are indicative of the relationships between what proceeds and what follows in a sentence. In other words, what Zhang Peili presents to his viewers are not necessarily the specific contents, but the condition, or context in which one can fill in the blanks accordingly. As with language, for Zhang Peili, the artistic practice is, in essence, an expression that seeks to initiate conversations. Placing which in the visual context, the artist adopts the most concise and poignant means to address the "ways and conditions of seeing", from which the multiple layers of meanings, commentaries and criticisms these situations implicate may be discovered by their participants.
The two works on the ground floor take the physical experience as their points of departure. Access Control System (2018), similar to the edition presented at the 2018 "This is Shanghai - Chinese Contemporary Art Project", consists of nickel-plated metal railings that fence off an area into an enclosed space, and the doors open and close one after another at a relatively prolonged time interval. Visitors who wish to step into this space would only be allowed out when the doors open again, meanwhile, whether one stands on the inside or outside would nevertheless be able to see the others through the railings. And Audible Mattress (2018), the only sound piece in this exhibition, is comprised of a dozen new and used mattresses. Upon lying down on any mattress, a simulated voice begins to announce names (a compilation of the members of the National People's Congress, wanted criminals and lost children in non-specific order) in standard Mandarin pronunciation, at a 5 seconds interval.
Marshall McLuhan's prescient The Medium is the Message forecasted the pervasive impact of media on the individual. In which he claimed, "Electronic information devices for universal, tyrannical womb-to-tomb surveillance are causing a serious dilemma between our claims to privacy and our community's need to know" - a theory remains current and relevant, if not magnified since the advent of the Internet. The all-in-one App WeChat currently holds 1 billion monthly active users, is likely to be the most widely used App in China. Zhang Peili invites the viewers to examine in particular its nature of operation with Open Video – From my Wechat Moments (2018), for which the artist downloaded all of the videos posted by his contacts over the last 3 months (each measuring 10 seconds) from WeChat Moments. Once the viewer sits on the chair, a ten-seconds video will play in a loop on a device in front of him/her, until one lifts oneself up and sits back down again, or the next visitor sits down on the chair, only then would the following video play.
The Front View of an Apartment Building (2014), a continuous video recording shot at a fixed position of approximately 25 mins, presents a front and centered viewer of a residential apartment building. With very subtle happenings taking place on its high definition viewing device over the duration of the video, this work akin to the artist's earlier works such as Hygiene No. 3 and 30 x 30, moreover, although this time, Zhang ushers the viewer to upstage the simple act of viewing, onto the level of surveillance.
Zhang Peili, (b. 1957), currently works and lives in Hangzhou.
His works have been the subject of solo exhibitions including, "Uplifting" SMAK, Ghent, Belgium (2018); "Record. Repeat", at The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, USA (2017); "Zhang Peili: From Painting to Video, CIW Gallery, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia (2016); "Because…Therefore", Boers-Li Gallery, Beijing, China (2014); "Eating", The Museum of Modern Art, New York, USA (1998); "Zhang Peili", Maison des Cultures du Monde, Galerie Rond Point, Paris (1993) and etc.
In 2018, His works have been presented in countless group exhibition at public and private institutions including, "Art in Motion: 100 Masterpieces with and through Media", ZKM, Karlsruhe (2018); "The Flickering Uncertain: Jim Campell – Zhang Peili", CAC, Shanghai (2018); "This is Shanghai: Chinese Contemporary Art", Cunard Building, Liverpool, UK (2018), etc.
Zhang Peili's works have been the subject of renowned international biennials and triennials including, Divided We Stand: 2018 Busan Biennale, Busan, Korea (2018); The Venice Biennale (1993, 1999 & 2003); The Shanghai Biennale (2012 & 2004); The Guangzhou Triennale (2003); The Gwangju Biennial (2002); The Sydney Biennial (1998); La Biennale de Lyon (1997) among many others.
His works have been acquired into private and public collections internationally, including, Art Institute of Chicago, US; Annie Leung Art Foundation, Hong Kong; Asia Society, New York; Centre National des Arts Plastiques, France; Centre; Guggenheim Museum, New York, USA; Guggenheim Museum, Abu Dhabi; Georges Pompidou, Paris; DSL Collection, Paris; Daimler Art Collection, Berlin, Germany; Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, Japan; Guy & Myriam Ullens Foundation, Switzerland; La Fudación Helga de Alvear, Spain; Minsheng Art Museum, Shanghai, China; M+, Hongkong, China; Mercedes-Benz Arena, Shanghai, China; Queensland Art; Gallery, Brisbane, Australia; Singapore Art Museum, Singapore; Sammlung Goetz, Germany; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tate, UK; Ullens Center for the Arts; Uli Sigg Collection, Switzerland; White Rabbit Gallery, Australia, etc.

I called this one weirdness because I couldn't think of a better name. It's supposed to be a botanical, but it's somewhat random for that.
It's a pattern with the same pattern rotated and with the transparency reduced so it shows through.
I did several other colorways.
I decided recently that I didn't like the rotated transparent version and got rid of it.
