Midnight train rides, head-on freight collisions—there is never a dull moment when it comes to trains. Take a look at America's biggest railroads and meet the thunderous personalities who operate them.
In Last Train to Texas, author Fred W. Frailey examines the workings behind the railroad industry and captures incredible true stories along the way. Discover how men like William "Pisser Bill" F. Thompson swerve from financial ruin, bad merger deals, and cutthroat competition, all while racking up enough notoriety to inspire a poem titled "Ode to a Jerk." Bold, savvy, and ready for a friendly brawl, the only thing louder and more thrilling than these men are the trains that they handle. Come along with Frailey as he travels the world, one railroad at a time. Whether it's riding the Canadian Pacific Railway through a blizzard, witnessing a container train burglary in the Abo Canyon, or commemorating a poem to Limerick Junction in Dublin, Ireland, Frailey's journeys are rife with excitement and the occasional mishap.
Filled with humorous anecdotes and thoughtful insights into the railroading industry, Last Train to Texas is an adventure in every sense of the word.
Journalist Fred Frailey has written for Trains magazine for more than 40 years. He has authored five other railroad books, including Twilight of the Great Trains, Southern Pacific's Blue Streak Merchandise, and Rolling Thunder (with Gary Benson).
Fred Frailey has produced a marvelous collection of railroad stories, all told by a true train buff in a unique style that describes railroading perfectly. Whether a trip through the snow on the Canadian Pacific, or watching Amtrak's Eddie DeBasky dispatch trains in and out of Manhattan at rush hour or taking a ride on the Florida East Coast's 101, Frailey captures it all.
Fred Frailey has spent his entire career dissecting the business side of railroading and this volume contains his most insightful works about what makes American railroads tick. In short, it's a retrospective on the industry in the last forty years.

Thought provoking video of Linus on GIT.
Pretty compelling.
I got burned a while back when I discovered the huge merge bug in Subversion (the fact that you can only do it once). I started looking around a while ago and transitioned to SVK over a subversion repo. At work we are using Bazaar. I still like SVK and Bazaar, but I'm always interested in new and better technology.
Basically, it looks like GIT and Mercurial are the systems to watch.

MSWG simply means Minority Shareholder Watchdog Group
I am a fan of MSWG, they are just so down to earth calling themselves WATCHDOG, and of course DOG!
For the purpose of this writeup, we wish to write something on Syarikat Takaful Malaysia Berhad's coming May 5th 2011 AGM. This AGM is scheduled to be held at Dewan Ahmad Ibrahim, Dataran Kewangan Darul Takaful, Kuala Lumpur. If you are a shareholder, do go there to hear out the Board's explanation of things…..
Coming back to the MSWG, we wish to highlight one important point that they hope the shareholders would focus on come this meeting…. I hope you enjoy reading our postings but do comment, for comments are bright sparks and also encouragement for our bloggers to continue writing stuff that helps the community.
The important pointer for your meeting….
"The financial statements showed a 20.9% decline in gross contributions for investment-linked takaful business (ILB) in 2010 (RM26.1 million) compared to the figure for 2009 (RM33.1 million) despite financial year 2010 was on 18-month period against 2009's figure on 12-month."
Of course you can ask the Board during the AGM about other things like, whether the company has done any simulation in respect of the Risk-based Capital (RBC) framework, the current framework which had been adopted in 2008 by the Conventional Insurance industry.

Surfers Trust Usenet Information More Than Online Sources
Last Updated: Jan 04, 2012
For the last 10 years a unit at the University of Southern California, the Center for the Digital Future, has been conducting a study surrounding the internet, the users, and networking in general. They have been evaluating the strengths, and the consequences of the technologies involved and have found the the effects on our society are œmore profound than ever. Here's what they found.
The Digital Turning Point
According to the study director, Professor Jeffrey Cole, there are two extremes. At one end of the spectrum they concluded that now there exists the possibility of constant social connection, and the plethora of information available, add to that the virtually unlimited buying power. Ath the other end of the spectrum he found that with this constant connection availability comes more demands on our time, and more concerns about privacy, and the proliferation of technology.
Credibility in Question
The study also found that with the boom in technology came a boom in information. But anyone can publish their own opinion on the internet, so credibility comes into play. The study found that only 15% of the internet users find the information they see there trustworthy. While almost 80% of surfers trusted the info coming from government agencies and established media outlets. In contrast, almost 85% of Usenet newsgroup users find that the info they are seeking to be credible.
The Honor System " Why Trust It
The manner in which Usenet newsgroups work on the honor system, and encourages intelligent discourse, forms a basis for this level of trust. The moderators of groups that have them has the option of publishing or not publishing a post. And, if if an inaccurate post is put up, it gets flamed, and discredited quickly by the other users and posters. This Honor System keeps the posters on Usenet some of the most well researched, and well informed journalists on the internet…or at least it seems, the most credible.
Usenet Credibility " Something To Consider
With the trust factor rating so high among users, it's no wonder that there are people migrating to Usenet access every day. As writers, we find outlandish claims every day on the internet. And in many cases, we attempt to get some kind of verification of the facts through a Usenet sources. There are many newsgroup categories, and often you can find good information being released there instead of on the open internet…even advances by the CERN team come faster than the best of the online news sources.
If you have problems believing what you are reading on the internet, or would like a new way to socialize, newsgroups are a lot like any forum you can find on the internet. Usenet access is only a little more complicated that internet access, but if you use Facebook, you can access Usenet without much problem. To learn more about Usenet, check out our tutorial articles, and the pile of other information we have on Usenetreviewz.

Paul's Compass Cove Ramble – Saturday 6th October
8 people met up at Kingswear Banjo before crossing the Dart by ferry to Dartmouth for Paul's walk today.
We began the slow climb to Dartmouth Castle before picking up the coast path to Little Dartmouth, where we turned into the lower coast path, steeply descending to Compass Cove for lunch, where we had the whole beach to ourselves.
After lunch we ascended back onto the coast path, returning on the ferry to the Banjo.
A lovely 5 mile walk with the sea always on your shoulder, albeit a little blustery!

A personal injury can happen to anyone. If this does happen it will probably not be your fault. This could be the result of negligence, lack of proper maintenance, loss of concentration, sloppy work practices or procedures. There could be many reasons for this. However, on your own, you may be faced with a hospital and medical bill. You may suffer a loss of income. There could be legal bills to pay. You will be in no state to face any of this and claim compensation and redress that is rightly yours. However, a personal injury lawyer Sartell Minnesota has today can provide you with the help you need.
One of the main areas that a personal injury lawyer Sartell offers today is guiding people through a really tricky legal maze. There is the problem of working with insurance adjusters. Making sure the right evidence and information is properly and professionally presented to insurance companies to make certain that correct insurance payments are made. This, in itself, could be a very lengthy and complex process. This would be bad enough for the ordinary person who has not suffered a personal injury let alone an individual who has greatly suffered an injury.
This could apply equally to the court of law. If an individual had to prove negligence at work, due to some faulty machinery which provided by a company, that individual has to face combined legal resources of that company in court. They will need to have total support and help if they are to get any compensation. Properly prepared, well-documented evidence must be presented. Legal and court procedures will have to be followed to the letter and thoroughly understood. If a sizable payout was due, it could be possible that some companies, individuals or concerns will do all they can to cut back this compensation or have the case thrown out altogether.
The solution will be to hire an expert personal injury lawyer Sartell has today to guide you through this process and get the compensation you rightly deserve. They can provide an experienced trial lawyer with expertise in personal injury law. They will give the care and attention to detail necessary to make sure that the case is won.

Security Risks at the Macro Level
The recent disclosure of the National Security Administration's Prism surveillance program is alarming on three levels. The first, of course, is that there is so much data out there. Who would have thought that virtually (no pun intended) everything you do online is searchable and retrievable? The second is that the Prism program was initiated and controlled by the federal government, but with a lot of cooperation from the private sector. This is not exactly what was intended by proponents of Public/Private cooperation as noted in the linked article in the Harvard Business Review. But there is a third cause for concern, and this might be the most frightening of all for business owners: the whole operation was exposed by a low-level high school dropout. The take home message: the data is out there, and anyone can get to it. But Prism is not the primary topic for this post; data security is, and, with the world shrinking, the lack of cybersecurity poses a bigger threat companies and to our entire economy than anyone would have ever anticipated, again as recounted in the HBR.
Security Risks at the Micro Level
While your business may not be dealing with zettabytes of personal data, you are no less vulnerable to malicious hacking, advanced malware invasions and disgruntled employee sabotage or theft of intellectual property. But even if your business manages to avoid all of these, there is yet another form of security breach that you may have to reckon with: more and more serious security breaches are caused by non-malicious employee error. This means that the usual security steps you can take (latest software versions, firewall, anti-virus software etc.) must be augmented by employee training. In fact, employer training may also be necessary.
Security Risks at the Collaboration Level
Collaboration is one of the key components of successful businesses today. This collaboration can be among internal departments, de-centralized subsidiaries and even outside organizations. Collaboration means file sharing, allowing more and more users to access data. The security implications are obvious: the more data that is being shared among more people in more organizations, the greater the possibility of a breach occurring. Even email, the most basic form of cyber communication, can be problematic. We're all aware of embarrassing emails being inadvertently sent or copied to the wrong people, but email can also pose security risks.
The Virtual Data Room (VDR) and how it can Help
Small and medium-sized enterprises today have access to technology they wouldn't have dreamed of as little as ten years ago, and like the technology, they also have exposure to the risks. One of the most effective ways to reduce critical security breaches, the kind that can destroy your business, is to utilize a Virtual Data Room, or VDR. Used especially for proprietary documents (like letters of incorporation, contracts, patents, financial documents etc.) the VDR allows SMBs to take advantage of robust security features (like 256 bit encryption, Secure Socket Layer and Transport Layer Encryption) that they could not provide on their own. Additionally, when collaboration at any level is required, the VDR is governed by permission-based access control so the users have access to only what the enterprise intends and only when they intend it.
Massive amounts of data exist in the online world today. The Prism program demonstrates how much is out there and how easily it can be breached. On a local level, small and medium businesses face the same vulnerabilities. Thorough employee training, keeping software up to date and employing the latest firewall and anti-virus technologies are part of the answer. A key additional component for the SMB can be the utilization of a Virtual Data Room. The VDR can safeguard all critical documents and make internal and inter-enterprise collaboration safe, and as such is rapidly achieving the status as a must-have technology. Security threats will continue to evolve; the VDR is part of the also-evolving answer to these threats.

How to Save Trees with Concrete
Sustainability In communities across Canada, people are recycling more, driving less, and conserving water. As construction goes green, insulated concrete forms have been soaring in popularity.
In communities across Canada, people are recycling more, driving less, and conserving water. Millions of people are now passionate about the efficient use of natural resources — and that has affected every activity from transportation to construction.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development estimates that buildings in developed countries account for more than 40 percent of overall energy consumption, due to the production of building materials, the construction process, operation, and maintenance.
Also, for the first time in history, more than half the world's population lives in urban centres— and these centres are growing at a rapid rate. These two factors combined make it clear that sustainable construction is critical to the future of the planet.
Consumer demand leads to cost-efficient construction
Many of those involved in the design, construction, and maintenance of commercial and residential buildings are also "going green."
In an industry survey conducted by the Canada Green Building Council in 2014, more than half of Canadian respondents reported that more than 30 percent of their projects were green, and 70 percent expected to be doing green construction within three years.
The survey also determined that client demands were the top triggers for increased green building activity in this country. Among home builders and consumers, there is a growing interest in homes built with insulated concrete forms (ICFs) to support an increased focus on the environment.
ICFs cut costs in the long run
In ICF construction, two faces of an insulated polystyrene foam block are separated by a plastic connector web. Several of these interlocking blocks are stacked together, and concrete is poured into the cavity to form a wall. Drywall can then be applied to the inside, while traditional exterior finishes, including brick, wood, and vinyl siding, stucco, and stone, can be applied. With continuous insulation on both sides of the concrete wall, ICF structures provide dramatic savings in energy consumption and operating costs. In fact, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development compared ICF and wood-frame house constructions and found that ICF wall construction provides a 20 to 25 percent savings in annual heating and cooling costs. Other reports put that number as high as 70 percent.
ICF structures provide 75 percent reduction in outside air infiltration, reducing dust and allergens, while being five times more quiet than traditional wood-frame homes. Particularly appealing to environmentalists is the fact that buildings with ICFs save at least 10 trees per home. Finally, ICF structures are better able to withstand severe weather such as hurricanes and floods. Today, ICF homes represent approximately three percent of housing starts in North America— but that number will be dramatically higher in a few years, as the rate of growth has increased by about 40 percent year-over-year.
Laura Catalan, Communications Marketing Manager of Amvic, a Toronto-based manufacturer of ICFs, says it costs three to five percent more to build an ICF home than a traditional framed house, but adds that the savings on energy bills make them more cost-efficient in the long run.
Amvic has gained a reputation for manufacturing highly user-friendly, LEED-certified ICFs, as their designs increase the speed of construction, reduce labour costs and,— because of their more thermal resistant blocks— provide a very high level of performance during and after installation. "We talk to a lot of people who want to build their homes and are looking at various features," says Catalan. "They care not just about themselves but also about the environment and future generations."

Michael Cohen, the now famous US President Donald Trump's former personal lawyer, was sentenced on December 12 to a total of three years in prison for his role in making illegal hush-money payments to women to help Trump's 2016 election campaign and for lie to Congress about a proposed Trump Tower project in Russia.
It's been US District Judge William Pauley in Manhattan who sentenced Cohen to 36 months for the payments, which violated campaign finance law, and to two months for the false statements to Congress. The two terms will run simultaneously.
But it's not finished yet: Cohen faced sentencing on a separate charge of lying to Congress about Russia's role in the 2016 election and possible coordination between Trump's campaign and Moscow. Mr. Cohen pleaded guilty to that charge in November, 2018.

Some time ago I wrote a post about cross training, basically stating the position that I have chosen to train multiple sports for various good reasons, in spite of the fact that training for and competing in multiple sports with multiple dogs results in being a little "all over the place" with all of it.
This winter I got to experience something very different with Tessa. We focused solely on one sport. We trained for one sport, we competed in one sport - Agility. Yes, we dabbled in the Cyber Rally-O Dance Divisions a bit, but we really didn't put anything into it. We showed up at the building, shot our video, and went on with life. All of our training time and energy went into Agility.
I really didn't make a deliberate choice to do this. Tessa and I had been struggling in both Rally FrEe and WCFO Freestyle because Tessa is not a verbal dog. She loves to be directed through body language. I had tried, diligently, to make responding to verbal cues a fun thing for Tessa, but in the end we crashed and burned. Continually trying to shove a square peg into a round hole over and over will sometimes lead to a good crash and burn! Tessa and I got ourselves there.
So, I dropped out of Rally FrEe with Tessa, and Bandit took over her spot in the class. There are no WCFO competitions until June, so we aren't really working with Freestyle. So, we were left with Agility. Weekly Agility classes, and lots and lots of competitions, throughout the winter.
And I noticed two things . . .
First, Tessa is MUCH happier. She doesn't mind doing some Freestyle for fitness and fun. I still have her do her spins and twirls and leg weaves and pivot platform and some heeling and side work at home just to keep the skills fresh, and to keep her flexible, but I am no longer pushing the verbal cues.
Any real training that we are doing is Agility related. She thinks that's a party!
And if we pack up the car and go to a competition, it's Agility. She lights up like a Christmas tree every time we pull into the parking lot at Periland! She knows what we are there for and she is delighted.
Second, our Agility is improving! Tessa's weave poles are getting faster, her jumping skills have sharpened back up, and she is just doing a nicer job overall. Usually when we mess up in competition now, it is a handling error.
Just for the fun of it, I am having her do some of the foundation exercises that Bandit is working on for his online foundation class. Check out how much pleased she is with this . . .
I would not go so far as to say I won't do anything except Agility with her. I still enjoy working on Freestyle with her for fun, and I'd like to try more of the patterns with her. And I would like to do more Cyber Rally-O this coming summer. That will be good, since Tessa can struggle with the heat at times.
But right now she really is a one sport dog. And I am finding it, to my surprise, to be very good.
Just 45 Q's to go for our C-ATCH!! It's enough to be working toward.
And Tessa clearly approves!

Yangshi (楊氏, onyomi: Yōshi), also known as Lady Yang (楊夫人, onyomi: Yōfujin), is Ma Chao's wife. Wang Yi feigned friendship with her as a ruse for her husband's infiltration. Yangshi and her child were soon killed by Yin Feng and Zhao Qu. Romance of the Three Kingdoms has her and her three children murdered by Liang Kuan and Zhao Qu. Their eviscerated bodies were shown to an enraged Ma Chao.
Role in GamesEdit
Yang Shi is a secret character in the eleventh Romance of the Three Kingdoms title. Like most female officers, she is more suited in handling domestic tasks and recruiting other officers. Her special ability makes it easier to produce more horses for the player's own cavalrymen.
100man-nin no Sangokushi has her appear with narrative significance in Ma Yunlu's character centric episode. Yangshi is dearly loved by her husband's family and considered a kind voice of reason. She is kidnapped during the chaos of Han Sui's betrayal and saved by Ma Yunlu. Yangshi cannot fight so she hides in a box that Ma Yunlu safely carries back to Ji Castle. She trusts Wang Yi's invite to talk after the battle and is killed off screen by her as an act of vengeance.

Thanks to the tip from Harry and the article as seen in the British tabloid The Telegraph more indication of relative German military unpreparedness!
The Bundeswehr evidently having fallen on exceedingly hard times. And at the worst possible moment too!
"German army used broomsticks instead of guns during training"
"A German battalion assigned to Nato's rapid response force used broomstick handles instead of guns on a joint exercise due to chronic equipment shortages"
"Soldiers resorted to painting broomsticks black and attaching them to Boxer armoured vehicles to simulate gun barrels."
Here an image of a honest-to-God Boxer armored vehicle with organic 30 mm gun. Some Boxer as in the inventory but without turret or gun but voila add a broomstick and you have an analogous weapons system? German ground forces according to the Telegraph also reputed to using: "ordinary Mercedes vans as stand-ins for armoured personnel carriers during training because of equipment shortages"
Hardly is the practice of "dummy" or "fake armored" vehicles for training purposes confined to the modern Bundeswehr. Consider the following examples:
German "tank" from the era prior to World War Two. Strictly a training device and nothing more. Image as stolen from and thanks to Getty. A contraption to be sure what useful again for training purposes.
Here a number of German "tanks" in the period prior to World War Two. Valid as a training device of a crude but nonetheless valid variety.
American "tank" as was found during the war games in Louisiana just prior to American entry into the Second World War. Click to see a larger image with critical elements of the accompanying text underlined in red.Say it ain't so Joe but we all know it is!!

A federal judge on Wednesday found that Paul Manafort, President Trump's former campaign manager, "intentionally" lied to Special Counsel Robert Mueller in response to some, but not all, of their inquiries — a ruling that voids his plea deal and exposes Manafort, at a minimum, to a harsher sentence.
In her decision, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson pointedly rejected some of the claims by Mueller's team, while noting that legally, prosecutors were entitled to deference on the question of whether Manafort breached the terms of his plea deal as long as they made the claim in "good faith."
Manafort, 69 seemingly avoided a second trial in Washington, D.C., before Jackson last year by agreeing to cooperate with investigators and pleading guilty to two felony conspiracy charges related to his overseas lobbying work. Prosecutors, in turn, agreed to recommend he receive a reduced sentence.
Manafort has denied intentionally misleading Mueller's team and said he is under stress and physically ill.
"The Office of Special Counsel (OSC) made its determination that the defendant made false statements and thereby breached the plea agreement in good faith," Jackson wrote. "Therefore, the Office of Special Counsel is no longer bound by its obligations under the plea agreement, including its promise to support a reduction of the offense level in the calculation of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines for acceptance of responsibility."
Jackson's ruling proceeded to respond point-by-point to Mueller's allegations against Manafort to assess whether he had, in fact, breached the plea agreement — and, in some cases, Jackson rejected the special counsel's contentions as wholly unfounded.
For example, Jackson wrote: "OSC has failed to establish by a preponderance of the evidence that on October 16, 2018, defendant intentionally made a false statement concerning his contacts with the administration."
The preponderance of evidence standard is among the lowest possible standards and means only that it is more likely than not that Manafort lied. Toward the end of a contentious hearing last week, Jackson took particular umbrage at prosecutors' contentions that Manafort had lied about his contacts with the Trump administration.
"And of all of them, this is the one where I have the most difficulty figuring out where the real contradiction is of moment to the investigation," Jackson said.
At that point, a member of Mueller's team replied that Manafort had lied by denying having any direct or "indirect" contacts with the administration — and that the "indirect" statement was a lie.
Also in her ruling Wednesday, Jackson found that "OSC has failed to establish by a preponderance of the evidence that on October 16, 2018, defendant intentionally made false statements concerning Kilimnik's role in the obstruction of justice conspiracy" to tamper with witnesses in the Russia probe.
That was a reference to Russian-Ukrainian political consultant Konstantin Kilimnik, who has ties to Russian intelligence. Prosecutors said Manafort made false statements about sharing polling data during the 2016 presidential election with Kilimnik.
Top Mueller deputy Andrew Weissmann told Jackson that Manafort's connection to Kilimnik, especially his Aug. 2, 2016, meeting with Manafort at the Grand Havana Club cigar bar in New York, "goes, I think, very much to the heart of what the Special Counsel's Office is investigating. … In [August] 2016 there is an in-person meeting with someone who … is understood by the FBI, assessed to be — have a relationship with Russian intelligence."
But, Jackson held, "OSC has established by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant intentionally made multiple false statements to the FBI, the OSC, and the grand jury concerning matters that were material to the investigation: his interactions and communications with Kilimnik."
Additionally, Jackson found by a preponderance of evidence that Manafort had lied about a wire transfer sent in 2017 to a firm by a political action committee that spent millions to help Trump's candidacy.
"OSC has established by a preponderance of the evidence that defendant
intentionally made false statements to the FBI, the OSC, and the grand jury
concerning the payment by Firm A to the law firm, a matter that was material to the investigation," Jackson wrote.
Jackson told Manafort's lawyers last week she wasn't entirely convinced by their argument that his "succession of inconsistent explanations" about the wire transfer could be chalked up to confusion caused by accounting practices.
The judge specifically ruled that the lies regarding Kilimnik and the wire transfer were "material to the investigation," as prosecutors had claimed.
Additionally, Jackson ruled that "OSC has established by a preponderance of the evidence that on October 5, 2018, the defendant intentionally made false statements that were material to another DOJ investigation." It was not immediately clear what investigation was implicated.
Jackson said the precise impact on Manafort's upcoming sentencing on two felony charges related to his Ukrainian lobbying work, set for March 13, will be determined at a later date. It appeared unlikely Manafort would face new charges as a result of Jackson's ruling Wednesday, but it remained possible.
Manafort faces up to ten years in prison in the separate case in Virginia, where he was convicted on tax and fraud charges.
Fox News' Jake Gibson contributed to this report.

The Law Department's role is to advise and represent the City and its various departments on a wide range of legal concerns. The Law Department was established by Section 3.09 of the City of Omaha Home Rule Charter under the supervision of the City Attorney.
The Charter authorizes the Law Department to advise the Mayor and the City Council on legal matters and to represent the City in litigation and prosecution. The Charter also authorizes the Law Department to provide written legal opinions when so requested by the Mayor, the Council members, or the various departments. The City Law Department also drafts or reviews ordinances, contracts, franchises, and performs any other duties as may be assigned by the Charter, the Mayor, or the City Council.
The City Attorney oversees the Law Department and it's two divisions.
Civil Division
The Civil Division is located on the eighth floor of the Omaha/Douglas Civic Center and has nine attorneys, a paralegal, and a legal investigator.
This Division provides advice on legal matters to the Mayor, City Council, and over 60 Departments, Boards, Commissions, and Authorities. It also provides written legal opinions and drafts and reviews ordinances, contracts, and other documents.

"2015 Gyumri massacre" article posted on Wikipedia
YEREVAN, JANUARY 15, ARMENPRESS. An article in English and Armenian languages has been posted on Wikipedia, online encyclopedia, dedicated to the brutal assassination of the family of 6 in the second largest city of Armenia Gyumri on January 12. The article states that on January 12, 2015 six people were found dead in Gyumri, Armenia. The Armenian Investigative Committee named Valery Permyakov, a Russian servicemen stationed at the Russian 102nd Military Base in Gyumri, as a suspect. Permyakov reportedly deserted the base. He left a gun and his military uniform at the scene of the crime.
The six victims were identified on the same day. They include a couple, their son and daughter-in-law, a 2-year-old granddaughter, and an unmarried daughter. A six-month old infant survived the attack and was taken to a local hospital in critical condition.
Police began a manhunt and called on citizens to inform about the possible whereabouts of the suspect. Permyakov was detained some 16 km away from Gyumri, near the village of Bayandur, near the Turkish border by Russian border guards. He confessed in the crime. He claimed he entered the family's home because he wanted something to drink. The office of Armenia's Prosecutor-General stated that the case was under the jurisdiction of Russian authorities. Permyakov was initially held at the base. The legality of this action was widely questioned and caused controversy in Armenia.
On January 13, protest took place at the Russian embassy in Yerevan. Protesters demanded the removal of the Russian military base from the territory of Armenia and the expulsion of the Russian ambassador. Residents of Gyumri also held a spontaneous rally in the city's central square, calling attention to the massacre. On January 13 a rally was held in Gyumri by hundreds of citizens demanding the case be handled by Armenian law-enforcement agencies.
On January 14 a car rally was held in Gyumri demanding the transfer of Permyakov to the Armenian law enforcement agencies. Around two thousand people marched to the territory of Russian military base with the same demand, but the police blocked a road leading to the facility.

We asked some of our top chefs on Thumbtack to provide some delicious and easy recipes for your 4th of July BBQ. From rubs to sides, we've got you covered.
3-Ingredient Marinade
Recipe from Gianna Ianos of Divadish Kitchens.
Here's an easy marinade for pork, fish or beef.
1/4- 1/3 cup of Olive oil
2-3 tbsps. of King's Rub
1/4- 1/3 cup of Lemon Juice, or Wine, or Beer
- Mix ingredients, brush on meat, and let sit for at least 1 hour before cooking to give it the best taste.
- Add more of mixture while cooking your meat.
Tip: If you like the traditional BBQ you can use Sweet Baby Ray's Sauce and thin it down with the same above ingredients and change your recipe all over again.
Grilled Steaks/Carne Asada
Recipe re-printed with permission of the author, Andrea Lawson Gray, from Celebraciones Mexicanas: History, Traditions and Recipes.
Nothing says BBQ like a great Carne Asada. Barbecue flavor is determined by marinade (adobo), the sauce (salsa), and the charcoal over which your steak is cooked. For real Mexican wood-smoked flavor, use mesquite or oak charcoal.
Ingredients (Serves 4-6)
2 lbs. flank steak
¼ cup Worcestershire Sauce
2 tbsp Maggi Seasoning
Juice of 3 lemons
2 sprigs chopped cilantro
2 garlic cloves
¼ piece of white onion
8 oz beer
2 lbs flank steak
Combine all ingredients but the meat in a blender and mix until smooth. Place meat in a
glass bowl, pour mixture over the meat, and drench every steak in the sauce. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest in refrigerator for 3 hours or overnight. Place steaks on a hot griddle or grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on how you prefer your meat done.
Cheesy Corn Bake
Recipe from Dana Liljequist of Lily Pad Catering
3 cups Mixed Cheese, shredded (example – Cheddar, Gouda, and Cream Cheese)
3/4 cup 2% Milk
1/2 cup Jalapenos, chopped
1/2 lb Bacon, cooked and chopped
3/4 lb Corn Kernels, preferably fresh

1/2 the milk to start. Stir constantly to prevent scorching, adding more milk as needed, until thickened, smooth and bubbly. You may not need all of the milk.
- Stir in jalapenos, bacon, and corn.
- Transfer mixture to a casserole dish.
- Bake at 350°F for 1 hour.
Grilled Pineapples with a Brown Sugar Cinnamon Glaze
Recipe from Holli Taylor of DelishNOLA Catering
Fruit over ice cream is the perfect dessert to round out a BBQ menu, especially for the 4th of July.
1 fresh pineapple
1/2 stick of butter
1/2 brown sugar
Cinnamon powder
Vanilla bean ice cream
- Mix together a half stick of room temperature butter, 1/2 cup of brown sugar and cinnamon powder to taste.
- Cut a fresh Pineapple into long steaks or thick circles and marinate in the sweet butter mixture for 10 minutes
- Place on either a charcoal or gas pit and grill for 4 mins on each side or until the grill marks appear. (The butter in the marinade will help with any sticking)
- Baste the pineapples with the rest of the marinade between turning. Then, take off the grill and toss them over some vanilla bean ice cream!
Tip: Grill the pineapples before the other main dishes and slide in a warming oven while the rest of the BBQ chicken, ribs and such grills up! It saves time on cleaning the grill from any debris left over by the previous dishes. Try with skewered strawberries, peach halves, and even watermelon.

Indian Traders Including Patanjali Calling for Boycott of Chinese Goods
Following China's unjust voting at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) in listing one of India's most wanted, JeM chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist, many Indian traders including Patanjali called for boycott of Chinese goods. According to recent trade stats, Indian exports to China has declined while imports have risen significantly.
The Pulwama attacks against India in February this year that killed more than 40 Indian army personals were claimed responsible by the Pakistan based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) led by Masood Azhar. The very same terrorist is responsible for many such terror attacks in India in the past.
This year for the fourth time, China blocked the India's bid at the UNSC to enlist Masood Azhar among the global terrorist. China's unjust reaction towards India led to a strong uproar among the country's general public. While politicians started expressing regret at India's mistake of offering China the permanent seat at the UNSC, Indian traders showed their anger by campaign for boycott of Chinese goods.
China is one of the biggest trading partners of India and exports everything from mobile phones to cosmetics. The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), which represents 70 million traders as well as the Patanjali Ayurved Private Limited are among prominent names who publicly called for boycott of Chinese goods in India.
The campaign calling for Boycott Chinese goods is also trending on the social media. Traders have called on the government to take a strong step on the matter and defeat China on the trade front.
"Chinese products – from mobile phones made by companies such as Xiaomi Inc to toys – are ubiquitous in India and trade between the countries touched $89.71 billion in the year ending March 2018. The trade deficit widened to $63.05 billion in China's favour, more than a nine-fold increase over the past decade." according to the report in by Money Control.

Vastavam web: Attempts are being made to erase the legacy of the country's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and it is becoming a part of the policy under the current dispensation, journalist-turned-politician Kumar Ketkar said on monday. Ketkar said the government was selectively highlighting only the shortcomings of the first prime minister.
"The government is trying to erase the legacy of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. In fact, this is becoming part of the policy. Look at the Nehru Memorial Museum & Library or any other institution," Ketkar said. Known to be close to the Nehru-Gandhi family, the Congress sent veteran journalist Ketkar to the Rajya Sabha from Maharashtra this year. Khorbragade said it is because of Nehru that democracy survived in the country.

Masquerades From The Igbo Land
Adiro akwu ofu ebe enene nmanwu (One does not stand on one spot to watch a masquerade)
Description and Significance: In Igbo culture, the masquerade embodies the spirit and human worlds. The mystique surrounding the masquerade is one the key components of the Igbo culture that survived Western influences It is generally believed in the Igboland that the masquerade is a spirit which springs from the soil. Depending on your point of view, it may be true or only a myth. The masquerades are classified into categories based on specialization. Each masquerade possesses particular attributes (warrior-like prowess, mystical powers, youthfulness, and old age) and specializes in one or more skills (dancing skills, acrobatics, and other ritual manifestations).
Masquerading may involve one person team or a team made up of instrument players, vocalists, dancers, masquerade advisers, and the masquerade itself. Most masquerades are covered from head to toe with some piece of clothing or/and bamboo rafters. Finally, a wooden mask is worn over the face. The mask will vary depending on the type of masquerade and the place of origin within the Igboland. Some masks are designed to be beautiful, intimidating or downright sinister. Most masquerades claim to have some mystical powers and are constantly competing to see which one has the most mystical powers, whenever they appear together especially at village squares or funerals.
The masquerade appears during traditional celebrations (funerals) and festivals (new yam festival). The level of apprehension and the noise that await the appearance of a masquerade, will vary, depending on the type of the masquerade, and the size and make-up of the audience.
The Umunna Men's Cultural Masquerade Group performs three different masquerades acts. They are; Ojionu, Agaba, and Odogwu.
The OJIONU Masquerade is a water spirit character represented by a headdress of crocodiles, sharks and other predatory water creatures. The major attribute of OJIONU is creative non-stop dancing.
Versions of the Ojionu masquerade varies from those that perform voices only and possess superior mystical powers to those that dance predominantly with minimal voices and less mystical powers.
Please click to listen to the rhythms of the OJIONU masquerade
The ODOGWU Masquerade is a youthful and aggressive character represented by a mask that insinuates "Bloodshot eyed rebel".
Its major attribute is demonstration of youthfulness with specialty in intimidation. The Odogwu is also known for the highly charged chanting that accompany its rhythms.
Please click to listen to the rhythms of the ODOGWU masquerade
The AGABA masquerade as a character is that of a warrior represented in its name that literally connotes "lets go". The Agaba major attribute is warrior-like prowess, which specializes, in ritual manifestations.
The ease in the mobility of the Agaba instruments (can play with the OGENEs only) makes it a popular masquerade for the youths residing in major cities of the Igboland. The chanting that accompanies the Agaba cut across ethnic dialects and cultures among the Igbos.

Autism Research Receives Boost
Myles Hinkel started noticing some odd behavior in his son Blake when Blake was a year old. He said other children in Blake's play group were further along developmentally and verbally.
Hinkel brought his son to the Thompson Center to find out if Blake might be autistic. But he had to wait eight months to get an appointment.
There is a list of more than 100 families hoping to be seen at the Thompson Center. With more money on the way, the center hopes to eliminate that waiting list.
"The best thing that's gonna happen here is that we'll be able to increase our ability to provide diagnostic services and speed up the opportunity for children to get treatment for autism spectrum disorders," Thompson Center Director Janet Farmer said.
This is important because the sooner treatment begins the better, Myles said.
"From the age of birth to three is really that window of opportunity for early intervention," Myles said.
Some signs of autism include lack of response to others, repetitive behaviors, avoiding physical touch, impaired language development, and playing alone.
Myles hopes in the future parents won't have to wait for a diagnosis when they notice the same traits he did.

Medical Services
Due to governmental legislation, patient demands, and the ever increasing complexities of medical insurance, medical billing has become so sophisticated that it places tremendous challenges on the small medical practice whose staff is often dealing with greeting patients and as well as billing. Even at larger practices and hospitals, profit margins are squeezed to the extent where it makes sense to outsource the private pay portion of the billing function to CSO's Medical Services division.
You determine the degree of involvement the Medical Services staff has in your cash flow cycle. Our billing professionals are trained in what your recovery goals are. We feel medical services recovery is the most sensitive area of receivable recovery and your billing service must keep that foremost in the minds of their personnel while they are acting on your facility's behalf.
Client references for Medical Services are available on request. Contact us for more information on this service.
Receivables Management
CSO Financial's Receivables Management Division provides follow-up billing for commercial accounts. This service provides an array of commercial financial services to assist businesses in maintaining a smooth flow of receivables, from the date of service or when product is purchased, to the payment of the final open amounts.
Our staff is trained to interact with your customers/clients as an extension of your business. The correspondence used is tailored to your specific requirements, and only used after your approval of its content. Our goal is to maximize the effectiveness of your staff while significantly reducing your receivables cost.

Do you feel like your clothes are starting to feel tight again? Trying on that old bathing suit and finding it to be tight? It's probably that time. But do not worry; it happens to all of us. It's time to begin dieting again. You probably had previous failures trying a diet, but this time it certainly will be different. You have likely seen those commercials of the Jenny Craig Diet, and how it helps women to shed weight. Signing up for this weight loss program has many advantageous to you. You will receive live instruction from qualified instructors who have much experience helping women lose weight and eat better. You will likely become part of a weight loss team, where you will receive encouragement from others and you in return will provide the same. Unfortunately, this is a commercial program and there are costs associated with it. There are costs for both the membership fee, and the food that you will consume while on the diet. You need to be aware of these costs.
The Fees
This is probably the cost that you are most aware of. There is a monthly fee for the Jenny Craig Diet. The fee depends on what Jenny Craig club you are planning on attending. Make sure to check for promotional offers which will help you save money. You may have to make payments based on a membership contract. Please make sure you are aware of them.
The Meals
A big part of the diet program, besides the exercise program, is the weight loss meals you will be consuming as part of the diet. These meals come pre-packaged, without vegetables, and are usually low in calories and will help you control your appetite. The costs of meals are not included in the membership fee, and can cost at least $ 60 a week.
The Supplements
When you are on the Jenny Craig Diet, you will also have to pay for supplements as they are an integral part of the program. The diet includes taking certain supplements to help you lose more weight effectively. The prices for these range around $ 20 a month.
Fitness Equipment
You may need to spend additional money on fitness equipment and gear as part of the diet. While there are no specific requirements, you will need to check with your club on what equipment you will need.
Is the Jenny Craig Diet Worth the Costs?
As you can see, you may end up spending more than $ 300 a month while on the Jenny Craig Diet. The choice is yours whether you should consider partaking in this rigorous exercise and diet program, or choose to go with something cheaper (sometimes at your own pace at home).
