The tragic events of September 11, 2001 constitute a fundamental landmark in American history. a decisive watershed, a breaking point. Millions of people have been misled regarding the causes and consequences of 9/11.
September 11 2001 opens up an era of crisis, upheaval and militarization of American society.
A far-reaching overhaul of US military doctrine was launched in the wake of 9/11.
Endless wars of aggression under the humanitarian cloak of "counter-terrorism" were set in motion.
9/11 was also a stepping stone towards the relentless repeal of civil liberties, the militarization of law enforcement and the inauguration of "Police State USA".
September 11, 2001 marks the onslaught of the "Global War on Terrorism" (GWOT), used as a pretext and a justification by the US and its NATO allies to carry out a "war without borders", a global war of conquest.

The 911 Reader is composed of a carefully selected collection of key articles published by Global Research in the course of the last eleven years.
9/11 was an important landmark for Global Research. Our website was launched on September 9, 2001, two days prior to 9/11. Our coverage of 9/11 was initiated on September 12, 2001.
Within this collection of more than 60 chapters, we have included several important reports from our archives, published by Global Research in the immediate aftermath of the attacks. These articles provide a focus on issues pertaining to the 9/11 Timeline, foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks, the attack on the Pentagon, the issue of insider trading on Wall Street in the days preceding 9/11 pointing to foreknowledge of the attacks.
What prevails is a complex web of lies and fabrications, pertaining to various dimensions of the 9/11 tragedy. The falsehoods contained in the official 9/11 narrative are manifold, extending from the affirmation that Osama bin Laden was the mastermind, to the assertion by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that the WTC buildings collapsed due to the impacts of fire. (see Part III).
Is there any proof to the effect that Osama bin Laden, the bogeyman, coordinated the 9/11 attacks as claimed in the official 9/11 narrative\\\?
According to CBS news (Dan Rather, January 28, 2002), "Enemy Number One" was admitted to the urology ward of a Pakistani military hospital in Rawalpindi on September 10, 2001, courtesy of America's indefectible ally Pakistan. He could have been arrested at short notice which would have "saved us a lot of trouble", but then we would not have had an Osama Legend, which has fed the news chain as well as presidential speeches in the course of the last eleven years.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) BARRY PETERSEN, CBS CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Everyone remembers what happened on September 11. Here`s the story of what may have happened the night before. It is a tale as twisted as the hunt for Osama bin Laden. CBS News has been told that the night before the September 11 terrorist attack, Osama bin Laden was in Pakistan. He was getting medical treatment with the support of the very military that days later pledged its backing for the U.S. war on terror in Afghanistan. (transcript of CBS report, see http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CBS203A.html , see also http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/01/28/eveningnews/main325887.shtml
The foregoing CBS report which is of utmost relevance indicates two obvious facts:
1. Osama bin Laden could not reasonably have coordinated the 9/11 attacks from his hospital bed;
2. The hospital was under the jurisdiction of the Pakistani Armed Forces, which has close links to the Pentagon. Osama bin Laden's whereabouts were known to both the Pakistani and US military.
U.S. military and intelligence advisers based in Rawalpindi. were working closely with their Pakistani counterparts. Again, no attempt was made to arrest America's best known fugitive. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld claimed, at the time, that the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden were unknown. According to Rumsfeld: "Its like looking for a needle in a stack of hay".
October 7, 2001: Waging America's 9/11 War of Retribution against Afghanistan
The immediate response of the US and its allies to the 9/11 attacks was to the declare a war of retribution against Afghanistan on the grounds that the Taliban government was protecting "terror mastermind" Osama bin Laden. By allegedly harboring bin Laden, the Taliban were complicit, according to both the US administration and NATO, for having waged an act of war against the United States.
Parroting official statements, the Western media mantra on September 12, 2001 had already approved the launching of "punitive actions" directed against civilian targets in Afghanistan. In the words of William Saffire writing in the New York Times: "When we reasonably determine our attackers' bases and camps, we must pulverize them minimizing but accepting the risk of collateral damage" and act overtly or covertly to destabilize terror's national hosts".
This decision was taken by the Bush-Cheney war cabinet in the evening of September 11, 2001. It was based on the presumption, "confirmed" by the head of the CIA that Al Qaeda was behind the attacks.
On the following morning, September 12, 2001, NATO's Atlantic Council meeting in Brussels, endorsed the Bush administration's declaration of war on Afghanistan, invoking Article 5 of the Washington Treaty.
An act of war by a foreign nation (Afghanistan) against a member of the Atlantic Alliance (the USA) is an act of war against all members under NATO's doctrine of collective security. Under any stretch of the imagination, the attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon cannot be categorized as an act of war by a foreign country. But nobody seemed to have raised this issue.
Meanwhile, on two occasions in the course of September 2001, the Afghan government -through diplomatic channels- offered to hand over Osama Bin laden to US Justice. These overtures were turned down by president Bush, on the grounds that America "does not negotiate with terrorists".
The war on Afghanistan was launched 26 days later on the morning of October 7, 2001. The timing of this war begs the question: how long does it take to plan and implement a major theater war several thousand miles away. Military analysts will confirm that a major theater war takes months and months, up to a year or more of advanced preparations. The war on Afghanistan was already in the advanced planning stages prior to September 11, 2001, which begs the question of foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks.
The repeal of civil liberties in America was launched in parallel with the bombing and invasion of Afghanistan, almost immediately following 9/11 with the adoption of the PATRIOT legislation and the setting up of a Homeland Security apparatus, under the pretext of protecting Americans. This post-911 legal and institutional framework had been carefully crafted prior to the 9/11 attacks.
Al Qaeda is a US Intelligence Asset
Important to the understanding of 9/11, US intelligence is the unspoken architect of "Islamic terrorism" going back to the heyday of the Soviet-Afghan war.
Bin Laden was 22 years old and was trained in a CIA sponsored guerrilla training camp. Education in Afghanistan in the years preceding the Soviet-Afghan war was largely secular. With religious textbooks produced in Nebraska, the number of CIA sponsored religious schools (madrasahs) increased from 2,500 in 1980 to over 39,000.
"Advertisements, paid for from CIA funds, were placed in newspapers and newsletters around the world offering inducements and motivations to join the [Islamic] Jihad." (Pervez Hoodbhoy, Peace Research, 1 May 2005) "The United States spent millions of dollars to supply Afghan schoolchildren with textbooks filled with violent images and militant Islamic teachings... .The primers, which were filled with talk of jihad and featured drawings of guns, bullets, soldiers and mines, have served since then as the Afghan school system's core curriculum. Even the Taliban used the American-produced books,..", (Washington Post, 23 March 2002)

Under the Reagan administration, US foreign policy evolved towards the unconditional support and endorsement of the Islamic "freedom fighters". This endorsement has not in any way been modified.
In a twisted irony, throughout the post 911 era, US intelligence in liaison with Britain's MI6, an Israel's Mossad, continues to provide covert support to the radical Islamist organization allegedly responsible for the 9/11 attacks. Al Qaeda and its various affiliated groups including the Libya Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) and factions within the Free Syria Army (FSA) are directly supported by the US and NATO.
In a bitter irony, the US and its allies claim to be waging a "war on terrorism" against the alleged architects of 9/11, while also using Al Qaeda operatives as their foot-soldiers.

Based on the findings of Richard Gage of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings was not caused by fire resulting from the crash of the planes:
In more than 100 steel-framed, high-rise fires (most of them very hot, very large and very long-lasting), not one has collapsed, ever. So it behooves all of us, as your own former chief of NIST's Fire Science Division, Dr. James Quintiere, said, "to look at real alternatives that might have been the cause of these collapses." Let's start with temperatures - 1,340° F. temperatures, recorded in thermal images of the surface of the World Trade Center rubble pile a week after 9/11 by NASA's AVIRIS equipment on USGS overflights. Such temperatures cannot be achieved by oxygen-starved hydrocarbon fires. Such fires burn at only 600 to 800° F. Remember, there was no fire on the top of the pile. The source of this incredible heat was therefore below the surface of the rubble, where it must have been far hotter than 1,340 degrees. Mark Loizeaux, president of Controlled Demolition, Inc., who was hired for the Building 7 cleanup, said that "molten steel was found at 7 WTC." Leslie Robertson, World Trade Center structural engineer, stated that on October 5, "21 days after the attacks, the fires were still burning and molten steel was still running." Fire department personnel, recorded on video, reported seeing "molten steel running down the channel rails... like you're in a foundry - like lava from a volcano." Joe O'Toole, a Bronx firefighter, saw a crane lifting a steel beam vertically from deep within a pile. He said "it was dripping from the molten steel." Bart Voorsanger, an architect hired to save "relics from the rubble," stated about the multi-ton "meteorite" that it was a "fused element of molten steel and concrete." Steel melts at about 2,850 degrees Fahrenheit, about twice the temperature of the World Trade Center Tower 1 and 2 fires as estimated by NIST. So what melted the steel\\\? Appendix C of FEMA's BPAT Report documents steel samples showing rapid oxidation, sulfidation, and intergranular melting. A liquid eutectic mixture, including sulfur from an unknown source, caused intense corrosion of the steel, gaping holes in wide flange beams, and the thinning of half-inch-thick flanges to almost razor-sharpness in the World Trade Center 7 steel. The New York Times called this "the deepest mystery uncovered in the investigation." NIST left all of this crucial forensic evidence out of its report. Why\\\? Because it didn't fit in with the official conspiracy theory. Last year, physicist Steven Jones, two other physicists, and a geologist analyzed the slag at the ends of the beams and in the samples of the previously molten metal. They found iron, aluminum, sulfur, manganese and fluorine - the chemical evidence of thermate, a high-tech incendiary cutting charge used by the military to cut through steel like a hot knife through butter. The by-product of the thermate reaction is molten iron! There's no other possible source for all the molten iron that was found. One of thermate's key ingredients is sulfur, which can form the liquid eutectic that FEMA found and lower the melting point of steel. In addition, World Trade Center 7?s catastrophic structural failure showed every characteristic of explosive, controlled demolition. ... The destruction began suddenly at the base of the building. Several first responders reported explosions occurring about a second before the collapse. There was the symmetrical, near-free-fall speed of collapse, through the path of greatest resistance - with 40,000 tons of steel designed to resist this load - straight down into its own footprint. This requires that all the columns have to fail within a fraction of a second of each other - perimeter columns as well as core columns. There was also the appearance of mistimed explosions (squibs\\\?) at the upper seven floors on the network video recordings of the collapse. And we have expert testimony from a European demolitions expert, Danny Jowenko, who said "This is controlled demolition... a team of experts did this... This is professional work, without any doubt." Fire cannot produce these effects. Fire produces large, gradual deformations and asymmetrical collapses. Thermate can produce all of these effects used in conjunction with linear shaped charges. If the thermate is formed into ultra-fine particles, as has been accomplished at Los Alamos National Laboratory, it is called super-thermate, and is very explosive.(Richard Gage, January 2008)
According to David Ray Griffin:
"The official theory of the collapse, therefore, is essentially a fire theory, so it cannot be emphasized too much that fire has never caused large steel-frame buildings to collapsenever, whether before 9/11, or after 9/11, or anywhere in the world on 9/11 except allegedly New York Citynever." See David Ray Griffin).
According to Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, based on solid scientific analysis and evidence, the collapse of the WTC towers was engineered through controlled demolition. While AE11Truth does not speculate on who might be behind the conspiracy to bring down the WTC buildings, they nonetheless suggest that the carrying out such an operation would require a carefully planned course of action with prior access to the buildings as well as an advanced level of expertise in the use of explosives, etc.
The Collapse of WTC Building Seven
The most grotesque lie pertains to the BBC and CNN announcement in the afternoon of September 11, that WTC Building Seven (The Solomon Building) had collapsed. The BBC report went live at 5.00pm, 21 minutes before the actual occurrence of the collapse, indelibly pointing to foreknowledge of the collapse of WTC 7. CNN anchor Aaron Brown announced that the building "has either collapsed or is collapsing" about an hour before the event.
(See WTC7.net the hidden story of Building 7: Foreknowledge of WTC 7?s Collapse)
The 911 Reader presents factual information and analysis which points to cover-up and complicity at the highest levels of the US government.
This body of articles by prominent authors, scholars, architects, engineers, largely refutes the official narrative of the 9/11 Commission Report, which is reviewed in Part IV. It dispels the notion that America was attacked on September 11, 2001 on the orders of Osama bin Laden.
This is a central issue because US military doctrine since 9/11 has been predicated on "defending the American Homeland" against Islamic terrorists as well as waging pre-emptive wars against Al Qaeda and its various "state sponsors". Afghanistan was bombed and invaded as part of the "war on terrorism". In March 2003, Iraq was also invaded.
War Propaganda
Fiction prevails over reality. For propaganda to be effective, public opinion must firmly endorse the official 9/11 narrative to the effect that Al Qaeda was behind the attacks. A well organized structure of media disinformation (Part XI) is required to reach this objective. Perpetuating the 9/11 Legend also requires defying as well smearing the 9/11 Truth Movement.
The Alleged Role of Iraq in the 9/11 Attacks
9/11 mythology has been a mainstay of war propaganda. In the course of 2002, leading up to the invasion of Iraq in March 2003, "Osama bin Laden" and "Weapons of Mass Destruction" statements circulated profusely in the news chain. While Washington's official position was that Saddam Hussein was not behind the 9/11 attacks, insinuations abounded both in presidential speeches as well as in the Western media. According to Bush, in an October 2002 press conference:
This judicial procedure is nothing more than another vicious weapon in the fabricated "War on Terror" to be used against another Muslim country, with a view to destabilizing Iran as well as justifying ongoing military threats. It also says a lot more about the people behind the lawsuit than about the accused. The expert witnesses who testified against Iran are very active in warmongering neocon circles. They belong to a web of architects of the 21st century Middle-Eastern wars, ranging from high profile propagandists to intelligence and military officers, including former U.S. officials.
But what makes this case absurd is that in September 2011, a few months before the judgment, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has questioned the official 9/11 narrative, was accused by Al-Qaeda leaders of "spreading conspiracy theories about the 9/11 attacks". The semi-official media outlet of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, insisted that al-Qaeda "had been behind the attacks and criticised the Iranian president for discrediting the terrorist group." (See Julie Levesque, Iran Accused of being behind 9/11 Attacks. U.S. Court Judgment, December 2011 (Havlish v. Iran), Global Research, May 11, 2012)
Al Qaeda: US-NATO Foot-soldiers
Ironically, while Washington accuses Iran and Afghanistan of supporting terrorism, the historical record and evidence indelibly point to the "state sponsorship" of Al Qaeda by the CIA, MI6 and their counterparts in Pakistan, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
Al Qaeda death squads have been recruited to wage America's humanitarian wars throughout the Middle East and North Africa.
In Syria Al Qaeda units were recruited by NATO and the Turkish High command: "Also discussed in Brussels and Ankara, our sources report, is a campaign to enlist thousands of Muslim volunteers in Middle East countries and the Muslim world to fight alongside the Syrian rebels." (http://www.debka.com/article/21255/ Debkafile, August 31, 2011).
In Libya, jihadists from Afghanistan trained by the CIA were dispatched to fight with the "pro-democracy" rebels under the helm of "former" Libya Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) Commander Abdel Hakim Belhadj:
Western policy makers admit that NATO's operations in Libya have played the primary role in emboldening Al Qaeda's AQIM faction (Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb). The Fortune 500-funded Brookings Institution's Bruce Riedel in his article, "The New Al Qaeda Menace," admits that AQIM is now heavily armed thanks to NATO's intervention in Libya, and that AQIM's base in Mali, North Africa, serves as a staging ground for terrorist activities across the region. http://www.globalresearch.ca/al-qaeda-and-natos-pan-arab-terrorist-blitzkrieg/
Table of Contents of the 9/11 Reader
In Part I, the 911 Reader provides a review of what happened on the morning of 9/11, at the White House, on Capitol Hill, the Pentagon, at Strategic Command Headquarters (USSTRATCOM), What was the response of the US Air Force in the immediate wake of the attacks\\\? Part II focusses on "What Happened on the Planes" as described in the 9/11 Commission Report.
Part III sheds light on what caused the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings. It also challenges the official narrative with regard to the attack on the Pentagon.
Part IV reviews and refutes the findings of the 9/11 Commission Report.
Part V focusses on the issue of foreknowledge by Western intelligence agencies. Part VI examines the issue of how foreknowledge of the attacks was used as an instrument of insider trading on airline stocks in the days preceding September 11, 2001. The bonanza financial gains resulting from insurance claims to the leaseholders of the WTC buildings is also examined.
Part VII focusses on the history and central role of Al Qaeda as a US intelligence asset. Since the Soviet-Afghan war, US intelligence has supported the formation of various jihadist organizations. An understanding of this history is crucial in refuting the official 9/11 narrative which claims that Al Qaeda, was behind the attacks.
Part VIII centers on the life and death of 9/11 "Terror Mastermind" Osama bin Laden, who was recruited by the CIA in the heyday of the Soviet Afghan war. This section also includes an analysis of the mysterious death of Osama bin Laden, allegedly executed by US Navy Seals in a suburb of Islamabad in May 2011.
Part IX focusses on "False Flags" and the Pentagon's "Second 9/11?. Part X examines the issue of "Deep Events" with contributions by renowned scholars Peter Dale Scott and Daniele Ganser.
Part XI examines the structure of 9/11 propaganda which consists in "creating" as well "perpetuating" a "9/11 Legend". How is this achieved\\\? Incessantly, on a daily basis, Al Qaeda, the alleged 9/11 Mastermind is referred to by the Western media, government officials, members of the US Congress, Wall Street analysts, etc. as an underlying cause of numerous World events.
The legitimacy of 9/11 propaganda requires fabricating "convincing evidence" and "proof" that those who are accused actually carried out the attacks. Sentencing of Muslims detained in Guantanamo is part of war propaganda. It depicts innocent men who are accused of the 9/11 attacks, based on confessions acquired through systematic torture throughout their detention.
Part XIII focusses on 9/11 Truth. The objective of 9/11 Truth is to ultimately dismantle the propaganda apparatus which is manipulating the human mindset. The 9/11 Reader concludes with a retrospective view of 9/11 ten years later.

Though I am not really into any kind of parties but I need to admit the fact the living here where I currently resides is, parties are just usual. Hence, I need to adapt for me to be in and be fits to the country's custom. Recently, Me and my family had been invited to attend an specially occasion from our very special family friend. It does made formal, so we needed to wear an attire that is suitable to the party. I got myself an mini chic dress that has an strip patterns on it. I simply liked it because it's really comfortable as I wears it and the patter itself can gives an illusion that can makes me quite skinny. Look on the photo on top, what do you think? do I look quite slender?
I've bough the dress online for 20 USD and shipping fee is included, pretty cool right? because I cant imagined that there was an great finds, like this chic mini dress am wearing, that is inexpensive and yet the quality haven't compromised at all. I'll blog up soon on where I did bought it for you to check for yourself on how great the store is. Meantime, let me finish this off because I needed to off for work now. I'll update this post pretty soon so please, keep on checking! Thanks!

It's important to do so on an ongoing basis and incorporate varied video games and approaches.
I needed to wrestle with my toddler a little bit at first for him to willingly wear the 3D glasses, but he finally gave in. The film, Spellbreaker, was a bit of scary, but it surely was cool and brief and he appeared to love it. It is a superb option to beat the heat.
Diversion techniques, taking consideration away from the toddler, can be used when the toddler finds an curiosity in something that is probably dangerous and the mother or father exhibits them something else that is safer and extra enjoyable to play with or do (i.e. toddler is fascinated in the sizzling radiator but the father or mother exhibits the toddler a enjoyable toy that makes noise).
As educators, we acknowledge the importance that folks play of their kids's lives; they are the ones most capable of affect their child's training. It's a free useful resource with tons of instructional video games, printable coloring pages (both online and printable) and full-length episodes of your child's favourite exhibits.

Aggregate Crushing Equipment Manufacturer
Selecting the right machines for your quarry is a vital decision. It will depend on many factors including the type of rock, characteristics of your site, and the precise quarrying application. Your choice will directly affect productivity, cost per ton and the profitability of your whole operation.
aggregate crushing machine
Aggregate crushing equipment from China includes primary crushing equipment, secondary and tertiary crushing machine and other beneficiation equipment.
Primary crushing. In aggregate quarries, large material usually is reduced in size by either a jaw crusher or a gyratory crusher. Both types are compression crushers. Although economical, they have the tendency to create thin, elongated particles.
Particle shapes sometimes may be a problem for producers of hot mix asphalt. In some operations impact crushers are used for primary crushing, but they may have a slightly higher cost per ton.Impact crushers may upgrade poor-quality aggregate and increase separation, such as removal of rebar from concrete in recycling operations.
Secondary and tertiary crushing. Secondary and tertiary crushing, if necessary, are the final steps in reducing the material to a desired product size. Historically, cone and roll crushers were the most common choice crushers, but in recent years impact crushers are more widely used. These crushers also are sometimes used as primary crushers for fine-grained gravel deposits.
The cone crusher simply crushes the aggregate between the oscillating cone and the crusher wall

It was a typical Friday morning in Hawaii when I went to work subbing for the 25th Administration Company mail clerk on November 22, 1963. The regular clerk had taken a leave to New York. I was only 19 and was in sixth month of service in Hawaii.
When I heard the news that President Kennedy had been shot, on a Honolulu radio station I informed the company commander, who didn't know about it yet.
Meanwhile, the regular postal clerk was flying standby to New York, but was detoured through Dallas, so his plane arrived in Dallas about the same time, that President Kennedy had been shot.
I can't remember much else about that day, but do remember almost seeing Lee Harvey Oswald being shot in the Dallas Police station on November 24, 1963. I was on my way to the day room to watch television, when I was told about Oswald being shot minutes earlier.
A couple of days later we marched in a memorial parade for President Kennedy on the parade grounds. It was a time I will never forget, knowing that we had lost our president.
50 Years Later
Fifty years will have passed on the 22nd of November of 2013, since the day President John F. Kennedy was slain on a Dallas street.
The Warren Commission convened a few months later and after hearing many witnesses, their consensus was that a lone gunman named Lee Harvey Oswald had shot and killed the president.
Many witnesses that were there, or knew information about the assassination have died untimely deaths over the years. It is my personal opinion that so many witnesses dying, before they could testify tells me there was a conspiracy to keep the world from ever knowing the details of what went on that Friday in Dallas fifty years ago.
Hundreds of books have been written about the JFK assassination in the last fifty years. Some of those authors say that the assassination was the culmination of a nefarious plot by various agencies, of the government conspiring to have the president killed.
Other authors have refuted all the conspiracy theories and steadfastly stand by their assertion, that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
Two Other Killings That Weekend
President Kennedy was shot about 12:30 Dallas time, but it wouldn't be the only death that weekend connected with the assassination. We will follow the timeline for that weekend, to better show how all three killings occurred and when.
It was only eight minutes later at 12:38, when the president arrived at Parkland Hospital. Lee Harvey Oswald had exited the Texas Schoolbook Depository building five minutes earlier at 12:33. However, Dallas police officer Marion Baker verified with Roy Truly, who was the building superintendent that Oswald was an employee, before he was allowed to leave the building. If Baker had held Oswald and brought him to the police station, then it may have saved the life of Officer J.D. Tippit.
1:00 PM – The president is pronounced dead after being given his last rites at Parkland Hospital. Governor John Connally, who had also been wounded in the assassination had two emergency surgeries that day.
1:00 PM – Oswald arrived back at his boarding room and 15 minutes later killed Officer Tippit, who had seen Oswald walking and stopped his patrol car to question him, then was shot and killed by Oswald at 1:15 PM.
13 people reportedly saw Oswald or someone looking like Oswald shoot Officer Tippit. Oswald then proceeded to walk to the Texas Theater and entered without paying.
1:40 PM – The clerk at the ticket window called the Dallas police.
1:50 PM – The police attempt to arrest Oswald, but he resisted arrest and tried to shoot a patrolman and punched another patrolman before being taken away to the Dallas Police station.
From 12:30 PM – 1:50 the president of the United States had been assassinated, taken to Parkland Hospital and died at 1:00 PM. Oswald had in that same time had allegedly shot the president, was confronted by Officer Baker and exited the Texas School Book Depository building. He had taken a bus, then a taxi to his boarding room, then left walking down the street, until he was stopped by Officer Tippit, who Oswald shot and killed. He then was arrested inside the Texas Theater. All of this happened in a time frame of 80 minutes.
Cronkite First Television Newsman To Report Assassination
Walter Cronkite of CBS was the first national television newsman to report the assassination at 12:40 Dallas time, with an audio only report, since camera was not ready to transmit video, only 10 minutes after the fatal shots had been fired by the sniper. It would be 1:00 PM, before the CBS cameras were operational.
Flight Back To Washington
Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson was sworn in as the 36th president of the United States, aboard Air Force One at 2:38 Dallas time, which was two hours and eight minutes, after the shots had rang out at Dealey Plaza. President Johnson insisted on Jacqueline Kennedy being in his inauguration, which to me seemed to show he was more concerned about the way the ceremony looked, than considering the feelings of the wife of a dead president.
Newly sworn in President Lyndon Johnson arrived in Washington at 6PM Eastern time and 5PM Dallas time, so in a matter of four and-a-half hours President Kennedy had been assassinated and died 30 minutes later in Parkland Hospital and the new president Lyndon Johnson had landed at Andrews Air Force Base.
Oswald at the Police Station
Lee Harvey Oswald was charged with the murder of Officer J.D. Tippit at 7:05 Dallas time on Friday. It would be 11:26 PM, before Oswald would also be charged with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Two days later at 11:21 on November 24,1963 Dallas time Oswald would be shot by nightclub owner Jack Ruby in the basement of the Dallas police station, preventing a country in mourning, from still not knowing 50 years later, if he was the lone gunman or was like he said a patsy, set up to take the blame for the assassination. Ruby took that chance of knowing away from us that Sunday, as he became judge, jury and executioner.
Ironically, Oswald died 2 days and 7 minutes after the president's death had been announced and both had been taken to Parkland Hospital.
Warren Commission Report
President Johnson was determined to show there was no conspiracy involved in the assassination of President Kennedy, so rushed to set up a commission to study the assassination. To me it was a whitewash job, but that is just my opinion. The Warren Report was on the president's desk about 10 months after the assassination.
50th Anniversary Events
With the approaching 50th anniversary of the assassination even more books have been written about that day in November fifty years ago.
Just going to Amazon.com and searching JFK Assassination will bring up many books, that already have or will be released later this year. One book in particular sparked my interest.
A Rose By Many Other Names: Rose Cherami and the JFK Assassination is a book about the lady who knew ahead of time that the JFK assassination was going to take place. She was traveling to Dallas with two men, who were driving to Dallas to assassinate the president. They became angered at her and threw her out of the car. She was run over by another car and told authorities, about their plan to kill the president in two days.
Apparently nobody believed her when she said she was going to Dallas to pick up her baby, sell some drugs and assassinate the president.
One reason for my interest in Rose Cherami is that she was traveling through Louisiana, when she was hit by the car.
The Warren Commission apparently glossed over her story and don't think it even was mentioned in the Warren Report, but would have to check to make sure.
The following article tells more about her connection with Jack Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald, both of whom she claimed to have seen together in Ruby's nightclub:
These are some of the books about the JFK assassination that have been or will be released before November 22:
There is also a TLC documentary that will be airing closer to the assassination anniversary named "Letters To Jackie". A few of the 800,000 notes of condolence will be read by Hollywood actors and actresses.
Parkland is a feature movie, that was produced by Tom Hanks and will recount the JFK assassination. It will be released on October 4.
Legacy of Secrecy movie should also be released before the 50th anniversary of the assassination, but no release date is listed at imdb.com as of today. It was adapted from the book Legacy of Secrecy: The Long Shadow of the Kennedy Assassination written by Lamar Waldron and Thom Hartmann. The authors claim that Carlos Marcello confessed to being one of the conspirators in the Kennedy assassination.
I am currently reading Killing JFK: 50 Years, 50 Lies: From the Warren Commission to Bill O'Reilly, A History of Deceit in the Kennedy Assassination. The book is written with the intention of debunking 50 lies that have been made about the Kennedy assassination. It is a very readable book, that will keep the attention of most JFK assassination aficionados. There is only one review of the book, since it was released in August. Reverend Dr. Lance Moore is the author and once was a professional rock guitarist.
James Leavelle the policeman who walked with Lee Harvey Oswald into the chaos on the Sunday morning of November 24, 1963 two days after the assassination and saw Jack Ruby shoot Oswald, who would die a few hours later.
Summary: Jack Ruby has made a lot of people rich, by not letting the American people know exactly how Lee Harvey Oswald wound up in the sniper's nest in the sixth story of the Texas Schoolbook Depository building. Ruby by silencing Oswald caused thousands of books to be written about the assassination. There are some that think, that Oswald didn't even fire the fatal shots that day and that a professional marksman may have fired the actual shots. Some books have even claimed that Mac Wallace the personal hitman, for Lyndon Johnson fired the shots from the school book depository. However, that is just another of the many questions not answered to the satisfaction of those who long, to find out what happened on that Friday in November 50 years ago.
We may not ever know exactly what happened fifty years ago on November 22, unless the government releases all the documents which have been held for all these years, but we may never know if any of the key documents have been destroyed to prevent us from ever knowing the rest of the story. There may be a smoking gun in a file cabinet somewhere in Washington, that would blow the lid off the case, but it seems the government is intent on any information that may incriminate government officials and/or agencies will remain sealed.
Personally, I think President Johnson with the assistance of government agencies and the underworld was the mastermind behind the assassination. It is a problem for me, that he ducked down behind the seat, when his limousine reached the killing zone, before the first shot was fired, so he would be out of the line of fire.. Even more puzzling is why he would not tell his wife what was about to happen leaving her at risk and still waving at the crowd. Johnson reportedly ordered President Kennedy's limousine to have the top down for the motorcade, which made the assassination possible.
The assassination of President Kennedy was one of the biggest news events of my life. The only news event that had more of an impact were the 9/11 attacks, since 3,000 lives were lost, instead of the three that died during the assassination weekend. I was born three years after the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941, but my older brother was born less than two months earlier on October 11, 1941.So I missed being alive for three of the biggest events in the history of the United States.

Amplicon sequencing, or rRNA gene sequencing, is performed to determine the relative abundance of taxa in a bacterial community, and to compare between groups of interest. This level of analysis can help to address changes in the overall microbial profile over time, or between treatment groups. Depending on the sample type, we have a variety of amplicons we can address:
- Prokaryotic communities (16S V4, V1-V3)
- Eukaryotic communities (18S)
- Fungal communities (ITS2)
- Archaeal communities (16S V4-V5)
We suggest speaking to a Microbiome Insights representative to better understand the differences in sequencing methods and which one may be best suited for your study.
DNA extraction and quality control
DNA is extracted from samples using the Qiagen MagAttract PowerSoil DNA KF Kit (formerly MO BIO PowerSoil DNA Kit) optimized for the Thermofisher KingFisher robot. This kit uses magnetic beads to specifically capture DNA while excluding organic inhibitors. In-house testing has shown that this kit has a good balance of DNA yield and quality, as demonstrated on a variety of environmental sample types.
DNA quantification and quality checks are done via Qubit.
Library preparation
We use the high-fidelity Phusion polymerase for amplification of marker genes. If extractions contain some carry-over inhibition or a high concentration of DNA, typically we test 1:1 and 1:10 dilutions and run the PCR products on gels for verification. PCR is done with dual-barcoded primers (Kozich et al. 2014) targeting either the prokaryotic (16S V4, V1-V3), eukaryotic (18S), fungal (ITS2), or archaeal (16S V4-V5) regions. Our barcoding strategy enables multiplexing up to 384 samples per run. PCR products are verified visually by running a representative subset of samples on a gel. Samples with failed PCRs (or spurious bands) are re-amplified by optimizing PCR conditions. The PCR reactions are cleaned up and normalized using the high-throughput SequalPrep 96-well Plate Kit. Samples are then pooled to make one library that is quantified accurately with the KAPA qPCR Library Quant kit.

No matter if you are new to quilting or have been doing it a life time, it's always nice to hear what other people use to quilt!
My quilting improved SO MUCH when a friend shared with me some of her must-have quilting supplies. I hope you will find something that helps you with your quilting, too!
If you want a nice, neat, free download of all my quilting supplies, click HERE. You can also visit THIS LINK to purchase the items I recommend.
First things first, you're going to need a sewing machine! I mean, unless you are hand piecing, which if that's the case, you are Wonder Woman! But for the rest of us, a good sewing machine is our best friend.
I currently sew with a Bernina 570 QE. I LOVE It and it is amazing, but I realize this isn't the machine everyone starts with. It wasn't my first machine, either. And really, any GOOD sewing machine will do. And by good, I mean a machine that works well, doesn't get thread caught, and is reliable. I went to my local JoAnn's to get my first machine. It was a Husqvarna H Class 100 Q. It was a great first machine and I still use it when I bring my Bernina in for a cleaning.
You will want thread to sew with, which I have used both 100% cotton and polyester, and both work great. I DO recommend starting with WHITE thread. It's forgiving (in that it isn't too bold and doesn't stand out) and a great universal thread.
To cut your fabric, you need a good ruler. I personally love Creative Grids rulers. They are clear, so you can see your fabric through them. They also have clear little grippy things on the back of the ruler, so it holds your fabric in place while you cut it. This is SUPER helpful and will make your fabric cutting more accurate. I recommend, if you are getting just ONE ruler, to go with a 6″ x 24″ ruler. It can do all the cutting you need. If you want more rulers after that, check out my video on RULERS.
You will want a self-healing cutting mat and a rotary cutter. This has to be one of the best inventions for us quilters and sewers. Along with your ruler, these make cutting your fabric slick and accurate. Self-healing mats allow your rotary cutter to glide smoothly without cutting the surface you are working on. An 18″ x 24″ cutting mat is the perfect size, especially is you are starting out. If you plan to do a lot of cutting, or buying fabric in large amounts, you may want to think about a larger cutting mat.
As you work on your quilt top, you will be pinning pieces of fabric together to sew. It is SUPER helpful to use straight pins to hold your fabric together while you sew, otherwise the fabric tends to move around. Having some straight pins on hand is a must, in my opinion.
Along with straight pins, you will want some safety pins to use when you are basting your quilt. Basting means putting your quilt top, batting, and the backing together to do the actual quilting. I prefer to use safety pins over spray baste. This is a new development for me. I used to only do spray basting, but the chemicals from the spray baste ins't my favorite. But that's just me. If you want to try spray basting, I say go for it!
When you get to the binding part of your quilt, YAY! You are almost done! You'll want some of these nifty wonder clips to help hold your binding on the outside of your quilt as you sew it on. I would get around 100 of them.
Starch is my secret weapon for quilting! I won't make a quilt now without starching my fabric first. I actually use about one can of starch per quilt. Using starch has helped me get my points more accurate and I still am thankful my friend told me to use it!
You can watch my video on starching HERE.
A little tip: if you starch your fabric, set it aside and it gets folded or has a weird crease on it, simply spray your fabric with water, iron it, and your crease will disappear! Not only that, but your fabric still has starch in it, so it will still be crispy and perfect for sewing!
What good is starch if you don't have an iron? You will want a good one! I personally love this pink Oliso Pro iron. I love it because you don't have to stand it up. It has little feet that go down when you aren't using it, so it stays hot and ready to use, and you aren't always moving it from an upright position to the ironing position. It's pretty cool! But if you don't get an Oliso, any sturdy iron will do.
And that, my friends, is a summary of the quilting supplies I recommend! Again, you can get all of these supplies (plus a few extras) all typed up for you on a free pdf download. To get that, simply click HERE.
If you have any questions about the supply list, or anything quilt related, feel free to reach out to me. I am happy to help!

Blockchains are a bad idea: more specifically, blockchains are a very bad idea
- For the love of god, stop using blockchain for everything...or at least for most things.
"It's so funny that we were able to build, for example, the pyramids without the blockchain and manage supply chain. And now all of a sudden, everyone is claiming without the blockchain, nothing can get done."
In this flash talk, presented at our 2018 Future Assembly, Professor James Mickens from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering takes us back to the basics of blockchains. Haven't we been here before? Yes, but according to Mickens, we're due for a recap. Using humor and an impressive slide deck, Mickens illustrates the mismatch that frequently occurs between blockchain technology and what we're trying to do. In short, there are a lot of misuses out there and we need to be more thoughtful about the specific scenarios where blockchain technology is a good idea and has potential.

Emergency funds are for the unplanned moments in life – a blown vehicle transmission, a tree falling on your roof or a trip to the emergency room.
Without a rainy day fund to fall back on, these unexpected expenses can leave you in debt. That makes an emergency fund a crucial tool in your financial arsenal.
Yet many Americans do not have sufficient cash reserved for emergencies. According to a recent Wall Street Journal article1, only 37% of Americans have savings they could use to pay for an unexpected expense, like a $500 car repair bill or a $1,000 emergency room visit. Others would find themselves looking for other solutions, like borrowing from friends or family, cutting back on other spending or using a credit card.
If you lack an emergency fund, here are three tips that can help you build one up to preserve your financial security:
1. Figure out how much to save
You should have six months of living expenses saved up, according to MyCreditUnion.gov2, a site run by the National Credit Union Administration.
"When calculating living expenses, it is important to consider all monthly costs and prepare for an unexpected loss of income," says Amy Larson, a Springleaf branch manager in Addison, IL. "Those monthly expenses include every bill you regularly incur each month, such as the costs for housing, utilities, health, fuel, insurance and groceries."
To calculate how much cash you need to save, multiply your monthly living expenses by six. This way you'll have enough money for six months.
For instance, if your expenses add up to $4,000 a month on average, you should have around $24,000 stashed away in your rainy day fund.
2. Pick a place to keep it
According to MyMoney.gov3, a site created by the Federal Financial Literacy and Education Commission, the cash you save up should be kept in a federally insured bank or credit union account that is easily accessible.
Larson also recommends that you find an interest-bearing account at a bank or credit union. An interest-bearing account gives you the opportunity to earn a little money on your emergency savings. The more money you save, the more interest you earn.
Before opening any account, read the requirements thoroughly. Some interest-bearing checking accounts may charge fees or require you to use direct deposit or keep a minimum balance in order to earn interest.
Do not overlook the option of using a money market account. "Choose the type of account that gives you the most bang for your buck," Larson says.
3. Pay yourself first
One of the easiest ways to build your emergency fund is to make regular deposits into an account every month, as reported by MyMoney.gov4.
In other words, treat your emergency savings just like any other expense; it is just another bill you have to pay monthly.
"I recommend taking a percentage of each paycheck and depositing or transferring it to a savings account," says Larson.
Some banks make it easy and allow you to automatically transfer money from your checking account into a designated savings fund.
"And, as a bonus, automatically depositing money into savings each month will help keep your spending in check," notes Larson. "Just make sure you can still live comfortably without the amount that you deposit into savings. Use your budget strategically to make consistent deposits."
4. Stick to it
No matter how you choose to build an emergency fund, stay committed to your decision. Remember why you created the account and the relief these funds could bring in a time of need. Good luck!

Scandalul dintre Apple si FBI a avut, printre altele, drept rezultat crearea unui proiect de lege care ar putea obliga marile companii americane sa creeze sisteme de operare care sa aiba portite de acces prin care sa poata fi preluate date necesare in anchete penale.
Legea nu este pe placul multora, nici a Casei Albe, insa astazi vorbim despre o scrisoare deschisa semnata de catre Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook, eBay, Netflix, Dropbox si alte organizatii non-guvernamentale care incearca sa protejeze intimitatea utilizatorilor.
In document toate companiile critica senatorii si gandirea lor, afirmand in acelasi timp si periolul pe care il poate presupune adoptarea unei asemenea legi, agentiile guvernamentale putand abuza de drepturile pe care le primesc si ar putea accesa aproape orice fel de date fara restrictie.
Avand in vedere numarul mare de companii importante care se opun legii, dar si a puterii de lobby pe care ele o au in SUA, exista sanse infime ca aceasta lege sa fie adoptata in viitorul apropiat in tara, mai ales ca acesta este un an cu alegeri prezidentiale, iar Congresul nu se va implica intr-o lupta de acest gen.
Dear Chairman Burr and Vice-Chairman Feinstein:
We write to express our deep concerns about well-intentioned but ultimately unworkable policies around encryption that would weaken the very defenses we need to protect us from people who want to cause economic and physical harm. We believe it is critical to the safety of the nation's, and the world's, information technology infrastructure for us all to avoid actions that will create government-mandated security vulnerabilities in our encryption systems.
As member companies whose innovations help to drive the success and growth of the digital economy, we understand the need to protect our users' physical safety and the safety of their most private information. To serve both these interests, we adhere to two basic principles. First, we respond expeditiously to legal process and emergency requests for data from government agencies. Second, we design our systems and devices to include a variety of network- and device-based features, including but not limited to strong encryption. We do these things to protect users' digital security in the face of threats from both criminals and governments.
Any mandatory decryption requirement, such as that included in the discussion draft of the bill that you authored, will to lead to unintended consequences. The effect of such a requirement will force companies to prioritize government access over other considerations, including digital security. As a result, when designing products or services, technology companies could be forced to make decisions that would create opportunities for exploitation by bad actors seeking to harm our customers and whom we all want to stop. The bill would force those providing digital communication and storage to ensure that digital data can be obtained in "intelligible" form by the government, pursuant to a court order. This mandate would mean that when a company or user has decided to use some encryption technologies, those technologies will have to be built to allow some third party to potentially have access. This access could, in turn, be exploited by bad actors.
It is also important to remember that such a technological mandate fails to account for the global nature of today's technology. For example, no accessibility requirement can be limited to U.S. law enforcement; once it is required by the U.S., other governments will surely follow. In addition, the U.S. has no monopoly on these security measures. A law passed by Congress trying to restrict the use of data security measures will not prevent their use. It will only serve to push users to non-U.S. companies, in turn undermining the global competitiveness of the technology industry in the U.S. and resulting in more and more data being stored in other countries.
We support making sure that law enforcement has the legal authorities, resources, and training it needs to solve crime, prevent terrorism, and protect the public. However, those things must be carefully balanced to preserve our customers' security and digital information. We are ready and willing to engage in dialogue about how to strike that balance, but remain concerned about efforts to prioritize one type of security over all others in a way that leads to unintended, negative consequences for the safety of our networks and our customers.

Divorce is consistently listed as being among the most difficult and stressful of any life event an individual may experience during his or her lifetime. This makes sense considering the significant life changes and mental and emotional difficulties that frequently accompany the divorce process. In some cases, this already tumultuous and trying time is compounded by a soon-to-be ex-spouse's attempts to hide assets.
For most individuals going through a divorce, finances are a major concern and some spouses will go to great lengths to attempt to hide assets that would otherwise be considered part of the marital pot and therefore divided accordingly. For anyone who is planning or going through a divorce, it's important to be vigilant and to take steps to ensure that all assets are identified, properly valued and accounted for.
While anyone, regardless of wealth, could have an ex who attempts to hide assets; divorce cases involving hidden assets are especially prevalent among couples of considerable wealth. Thankfully, a divorce attorney who is accustomed to handling complex and high-assets divorces can assist in uncovering these assets and ensure an individual receives his or her fair share in a divorce settlement.
The following are some of the things that a husband or wife who suspects that a spouse is squirreling away assets would be wise to investigate.
- Tax returns - both personal and business for undisclosed deductions, capital gains and gambling wins or losses
- Business expense reports - delayed or uncollected bonuses, questionable expenses and payments
- Bank statements - review activity for last five years and investigate any suspicious purchases and withdrawal

While oil and gas production processing equipment can separate the gas, oil, basic sediment and water from the production stream, this equipment typically can't separate the salt that can be found in solution in the oil. At high enough concentrations, this salt can lead to corrosion and fouling of downstream refining equipment and operations. In […]
Across many industries, level measurements are critical ones for safe and reliable operations. This is true for the water and wastewater industries. The choice of technologies for these measurements is broad, especially since they fall into two categories point-based (on/off switching) and continuous. In a Water Online article, Point Versus Continuous Level Measuring Technologies, Emerson's […]
For electrical power producers, the phrase "heat rate" refers to the efficiency of the power plant. It is defined as the thermal energy in divided by the electrical energy out.

Nasopharyngeal Cancers
Deciding on a Treatment Plan
Before starting treatment, your doctor will make sure that the following steps are completed.
Pretreatment evaluation
- A full history and physical examination, including a complete head and neck exam (mirror exam if needed)
- An evaluation by the members of a head and neck cancer team
- Nasopharyngeal fiberoptic examination
- A biopsy of primary site or FNA of the neck to confirm a diagnosis of cancer
- Imaging of the primary tumor and the neck with CT and/or MRI
- Chest imaging as needed
- Maybe a PET-CT for advanced cancers
- Evaluation of the chest, liver and bones to check for spread of disease that is N2 or N3
- A dental evaluation as needed
- Nutrition, speech and swallowing evaluation and maybe even a hearing evaluation
- Epstein-Barr virus DNA testing may be considered
- Ophthalmologic and endocrine evaluation as needed
- Pretreatment medical clearance and evaluation of the risks of anesthesia
Then your doctor will recommend a course of treatment for you, depending on a number of factors. As with all cancers in the head and neck, there are three general options to consider:
- Surgical removal (with or without reconstruction)
- Radiation (a few different types)
- Medications (chemotherapy and biologic medications)
For nasopharynx cancer, surgery plays less of a role than in other cancers of the head and neck region. You should have an extensive discussion with your cancer team to decide upon the best treatment course for you personally.
|For these small cancers, the recommended treatment is radiation to the nasopharynx and maybe to the neck.
T2-4, Any N
|For cancers that fit into these stages, the options are:
· Chemotherapy along with radiation, with or without additional chemotherapy
· For select patients: Induction chemotherapy , followed by chemotherapy along with radiation
· A clinical trial
If there is evidence of cancer still in the neck, then a neck dissection should be done.
|Any T, Any N, M1
|When the disease has spread outside of the head and neck region, the treatment recommendations are either:
· Chemotherapy, followed by radiation to the nasopharynx and to the neck
· Chemotherapy, followed by chemotherapy along with radiation as indicated
· Chemotherapy along with radiation
· A clinical trial (preferred)

/ Master's degree programme
Electronics Engineering
General information for the a.y. 2019-2020
Double study qualification with Universidad Tecnológica de Paraná (Brasile)
This study qualification is recognised abroad by virtue of an agreement with the Universidad Tecnológica de Paranà (Brazil).
|Disciplinary area
|Main fields of studies
|Electronic engineering
|2 years - 120 Credits
|No limited access
|Completely taught in English
|Teaching method
|Main Teaching Regulations
PresentationStudents enrolling in this programme are focused on the future and the technologies that make it possible: electronics has driven the most incredible revolution of the last centuries. Today, it is hard to think of electronic-free machines, systems or tools, and it is even harder to imagine living our lives without using a "digital prosthesis" (smartphones for examples, or the IoT). Students enrol in this programme to specialise in Electronic Engineering and get ready for a high-level career in the industrial, service or research sectors, both in Italy and abroad. The Master's Degree Programme in Electronic Engineering will give you the opportunity to enhance your expertise. Its two curricula aim at training Master Graduates on the industrial automation sector (control of high-dynamics electro mechanic systems, industrial robotics, implementation systems based on energy-efficient innovative technologies) or on new "smart and connected" electronic systems and technologies (just think about the Internet of Things, autonomous systems, new electronic devices for bioengineering, and systems inspired by the human brain). Courses are taught in English and allow students to learn a technical jargon that will ensure them an easy access to the international job market and the work careers in industry and research. The final examination includes an important experimental or design activity that students can carry out also in collaboration with companies and research centres, both national and international. Students will have the opportunity to experience a global world with no boundaries! The way we train our students is known precisely for well recognized high quality standards: many engineers who graduated at Unimore now work for important companies and centres in Europe and in the US
Course contentThe Master's Degree programme enables students to develop their competencies in electronics, automation, and telecommunications (i.e. the three pillars of hardware technology) at least up to firmware level, through the following topics: microelectronic technologies and semiconductor devices, high-frequency integrated circuits, power electronics, sensors, electronic instrumentation, microwaves and telecommunications systems and networks, control and system theory. There is also the concrete opportunity to get in contact with the world of electronics professionals which self-employ themselves in connection to professional charters. During the preparation of the final thesis, several students take advantage of the network of international contacts (set up by faculty professors) by travelling abroad and performing research in major European structures.
Career optionsTypical professional settings include research and development, advanced design, and the management and oversight of complex electronic systems. Graduates can find employment in companies (with responsibilities higher than those of first-cycle graduates) for the design and production of electronic components, circuits and systems, in manufacturing industries, in sectors of public administrations and service companies which apply electronic technologies for the processing, transmission, and use of electronic signals. Furthermore, second-cycle graduates can continue their studies through a second- cycle master and/or research doctorate in the area of ICT (Information and Communications Technology).

After recent visits from North-American thrash legends Annihilator and Nuclear Assault, it's time for a trio of old-school British thrash bands to invade Dublin for a session of head-banging and boozing. The relatively recent resurgence of thrash has seen many defunct bands resurrect themselves after decades of dormancy, and Xentrix and Acid Reign are just two examples. Judging by the size of the crowd gathered in the Voodoo Lounge tonight, it seems that their return is a welcome one.

Houston, LIVE at the Barfly, Camden UK, October 16th, 2014
The set overall has the harmonised, silky smooth feel to it where the keyboards will get as much if not more airtime than the guitarists do. At one point, poor Calle Hammar is asked to turn down his guitar in the monitor so that the keyboards could come forward a bit more. Looking slightly crestfallen he comments "but I was having such a blast…" before getting the sound desk to comply. I suppose that point is the difference between the current batch of Swedish bands out there and Houston

Accruing empty measures of falling night. This crucial rift segmental twist bends and binds in all its vital shifts. Plateau pulses extending. Curve motions derived of earthen spirit. Preserve and prepare the nights cooled cloth for the head of this fallen dayReplyDelete
