Following a congenial social hour, two visual presentations gave us vivid glimpses of the way new developments promise to revitalize the District.
Bob Azar, Associate Director, Providence Department of Planning and Development offered a slide presentation of projects proposed, approved and/or underway in the District and Downcity. He detailed an exciting future of new hotels, new office space and a range of condo, apartment and student residences, from the complex at South Street Landing to two extended stay hotels now going through approval processes. He noted that something like 1,000 new living spaces are contemplated for the center city and the District; current occupancy approaches 99%. Presentation here.
JDA Board member Al Dahlberg showed us a Brown University video outlining long-range thinking and vital role of partnerships in the school's major expansion going forward in the district. The video appears here.
President Salisbury called the business portion of the meeting to order. After a brief review of the financial state (healthy) of both the Jewelry District Association and the Jewelry District Foundation, he turned the floor over to Sharon Steele. She reviewed the JDA's major achievements in the past year, which ranged from the successful campaign to stop the PawSox relocation to the District's public park site on the river front and fighting for responsible night club operations to the creation, promoting and finding funding to launch the City Walk pathway linking Fox Point through the District to Roger Williams Park.
For complete details of the business meeting, see the JDA Annual Meeting Minutes, here.
Following the business meeting, special recognition was given for public service.
To Brown University (Christina Paxson, Russell Carey & Al Dahlberg) for:
"Demonstrating Extraordinary Corporate Citizenship, Cooperation and Responsibility in the Cause of the Betterment of Our Neighborhood & the City of Providence at large."
"Over the years Brown University has used its major presence in the Jewelry District
in many positive and creative ways – providing facilities for our monthly meetings,
invaluable help with our annual clean up and the creation of the Ship Street pocket park,
to cite a few recent examples."
"And because you include the Association in your forward planning process, we know Brown will continue to add new life and vibrancy to the place where we work, live, play and – yes – study."
And to Janice O'Donnell, former JDA Board Member and past Executive Director of the Providence Children's Museum, for:
"Outstanding Citizenship, Willing Participation, Creative Initiative and Unstinting Effort in the Cause of the Betterment of Our Neighborhood & the City of Providence at large."
"You have sought to make the Jewelry District a better place in which to live, work and enjoy throughout the year & despite hours devoted to the Jewelry District Association, you found time to bring the Providence Children's Museum into a new era with expanded facilities, growing membership and blossoming attendance."
Special thanks, as well to the Clean Plate restaurant, for hosting the meeting.

This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
Discuss the relative merits of using the NPV over IRR. Why is one favored over the other? Under what circumstances would one use the MIRR? Which is your preferred technique and why? Explain.© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com June 3, 2020, 9:20 pm ad1c9bdddf
Solution Preview
NPV is defined as the difference between an investment's market value and its cost. It is only a good investment if it makes money for the company so a positive NPV will be needed. Following steps have to be followed:
- Cash flows of the investment project should be forecasted based on realistic assumptions.
- Appropriate discount rate should be identified to discount the forecasted cash flows. The appropriate discount rate is the project's opportunity cost of capital.
- Present value of cash flows should be calculated using the opportunity cost of capital as the discount rate.
Net present value should be found out by subtracting present value of cash outflows from present value of cash inflows. The project should be accepted if NPV is positive (i.e., NPV > 0).The projects can be ranked from the most positive NPV to the lowest to determine profitability. NPV is most acceptable investment rule for the following reasons:

Back to Burma
There is little information online about what to do on your second trip to Myanmar. I'm here to change that; let me provide some ideas. Perhaps surfing the web:Or enjoying some local beverages, like Quench, Star, or the economical Mandalay Rum.You can take cruises up the Irrawaddy river to see dolphins, but I only got as close as this glowing-eyed representation.Probably best to relax and watch the sunset, perhaps along with a Burmese wedding.

Countries Selling Themselves
How does your country advertize itself? Let us spend some time pondering country tourism advertizing, shall we? Japan has launched a "Visit Japan 2010" campaign, plastered on the sides of Singapore buses. Short term goals work for me.Korea is advertized regularly on our television, with the fairly abstract slogan of "Korea Sparkling". What could it mean? And, um, I don't mean to be rude, but, isn't sparkling hard for many Koreans to say?Singapore has also chosen a relatively meaningless slogan. As has Malaysia: I was looking for Asia, now I've found it!Taiwan, also heavily advertized in Singapore, has tried a different approach: being cheap.Thailand agrees with this approach, then builds on it.
Myanmar is Mystical (I guess), Vietnam is the hidden charm (I found said charm immediately), and Indonesia, well, doesn't pay their slogan team as much.

Through the use of discourse analysis, this podcast explores the terrorist propaganda inherent in five social media videos created and disseminated by ISIS in 2015. Terrorist groups, such as ISIS, as well as others, have long been utilizing social media to recruit youth; we need to identify, address and combat the propaganda they are disseminating. Key features of the narratives being propagated include different ways ISIS terrorists articulate and use religious scriptures to back up and defend their hypotheses and their violence. It also includes the adept use of technology, music, and cinematography to instill fear. Only by grounding the analysis of propaganda in the investigation of the discourses inherent in these videos, will we be able to create an alternative narrative to battle the deleterious impacts of these brutal messages.
Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com to request copies of the English or French translations of the narrative in the social media videos.

Cadets from the Filton-based 2152 (North Bristol) Air Training Corps Squadron are elated after winning the 2012 South West Region Drill and Best NCO competitions.
The team, fresh from their win at the Bristol & Gloucestershire Wing Activities Day, were confident that they could mount a successful challenge to win the 2012 title after narrowly missing out in 2010. Preparation for the 2012 Drill competition season started many months before, with selection and training for the members of the team.
After more intensive preparation, including a boost of confidence from the Wing Warrant Officer, the cadets travelled to Boscombe Down early on Sunday 7th October. This gave them the opportunity to have one final run through ahead of the competition. Although it was difficult to say who was more nervous – staff or cadets, the team composed themselves. Taking to the square to perform the all important sequence that had been first and foremost in their minds for weeks, they left the staff to watch closely from the sidelines!
After a long day of competitions, the whole team nervously awaited the all important result, which when read out, proved the staff's confidence in the ability of the cadets to succeed beyond doubt – being clear winners by 43 points. As a result, the cadets will now go on to represent South West Region at the National Drill competition in November, with preparations already well underway.
In addition to winning the Drill competition, Cadet Warrant Officer Jenny Simmons also scooped the Best NCO Trophy for her command of the team. The result clearly demonstrated not only the excellent level of drill and strong discipline, but also the dominance of the Drill team over their competitors from the other Wings in the Region.
Cadet Sergeant Ben Rogers summed up how delighted the whole team were with the results, saying:
"The whole team have worked really hard over the past months, using evening parades and free time to ensure that our drill and uniform were at the highest possible standard ahead of the competition."
Flight Lieutenant Jim Brimble, Officer Commanding added:
"The cadets certainly showed their commitment to succeed by stepping up their preparation to meet the increased level of competition. We are all immensely proud of how they performed on the day and will be cheering them on at the Nationals."
The success also helped Bristol & Gloucestershire Wing take first place honours overall for the South West Region Activities Day.
The Squadron would of course like to thank all those that helped prepare the team, including Rolls-Royce's continued support in providing a suitably large area for the Drill team to practise on.

"Oh, right. The Linear Guild abandoned you."
Zz'dtri gently twisted obsidian fingers in the halfling's chest hair, brushing soft lips against the skin very lightly. "Only expected."
"What do you plan to do now?"
"Will not go back to dark elves."
Belkar lightly stroked the drow's smooth skin. "Did you have trouble with them?"
"…You can say that." Zz'dtri glanced up, silver eyes searching the halfling's face. "Afraid of their violence."
"And you slept with me?"
That got a smile out of the drow. The smile made Belkar smile a little. Zz'dtri looked nicer with a real smile on instead of some nasty smirk when a certain high elf was about to be completely screwed over by combined dark elven racial abilities and magic (although that expression was a real turn-on too).
"Drow calculate and reason. Killing and rape are systematic, planned, and politically motivated. Have to check drinks to make sure they are not poisoned. Have to watch both your back and your front. Cannot sleep, only trance. Trance gives one full awareness of surroundings. Rape considered sign of weakness, and commonly happens even when one is a child…" Zz'dtri trailed off, eyes glazing over for a very brief moment before snapping out of it. "Taught to trust no one. Not even family or friends can be trusted. Love and sex…" the drow tentatively stroked the halfling's chest, avoiding looking at Belkar's eyes, "is very different from surface-dweller's way. Love secret and twisted in rare occurrence that it exists. Sex is dangerous and often way to dominate another person. Usually rape by any other definition."
The dark elf was very quiet for a moment. Zz'dtri hesitated, then slowly looked up and kissed Belkar in a sort of loving way he wasn't quite sure he was comfortable with. Love was weird. Love was completely uncharted territory. The Belkster was perfectly happy with it staying that way.
"If you kill me, I know it is random. Odd, but comfort is taken by that fact. Do not need to check my back or drink or make sure I trance instead of sleep. If you kill me, you will do it when I am aware and you will do it honestly and openly." Zz'dtri looked down again, perhaps sensing the halfling's unease with emotional closeness. "And you would accept it if I said 'no' to your advances. You are a murderer. Not a rapist."
The drow tentatively touched Belkar's cheek. "Go to comrades. They need you."

Well I just listened to the news last night while busing tables and washing dishes at an undisclosed wine and dine when I hear some guy from Cuba blame it was the US Navy for the acts of torture at Gitmo while Cuba was such a defender of the people where I think it was Castro who took the picture of the Cuban sailor who was making love to a statue who was on leave drunk and decided to make love to a statue rather than one of the girls Castro was pimping for at the local Bordello as I think the sailor knew that Castro and those girls were anti Batista and Cuba thus bringing on it's revolution for better equality between the sexes like the same sex marriages and operations of gender that has become the latest fad ingovernment health care plans as the world meets America, and grafitti and church vandalism replace a drunken sailor humping a statue while on liberty.
I guess you call it " Statuetary Rape ?" Hold the presses : " US WATERBOARD CHAMPIONSHIPS AT GITMO, " and leave the surfing to US ?

Jackie Hill-Perry Calls Out Transgender Confusion Sweeping Society
Jackie Hill-Perry used to struggle with gender identity issues. Now, she wants to speak boldly to culture and insists that God doesn't make mistakes when it comes to one's biological sex. In fact, she says, "To reject the ways in which He has made us is to reject God Himself." She explains why transgender people will ultimately not find the love and happiness they seek until they accept God's design.

While studios and audiences are well aware that comicbook properties are today's hot tickets, some of those characters remain risky propositions. Case in point: Marvel's Deadpool, a violent and mentally unstable mercenary who eventually appeared in X-Force comics and was played on screen by Ryan Reynolds in Fox's X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Known as the "Merc with a Mouth", Deadpool has a knack for breaking the fourth wall in the comics, a trait that would be carried over into the necessarily R-rated film. Since one of those scripted meta mentions would include calling out Fox studio executives by name, it's plain to see why the bigwigs are hesitant to put serious cash behind the picture. However, that's not to say that progress on Deadpool isn't marching slowly forward. Hit the jump for more.
During a recent press tour for his animated movie, Turbo, Reynolds talked openly about the progress of Deadpool, including the scope, rating and content of the picture. Here's what Reynolds had to say (via JoBlo):
"[In] its current iteration the movie's actually very small,. There's minimal impact to the studio, which is the way we're kind of presenting it to them. We're saying 'Look, the budget is minimal. Therefore, can we do this the way it should be done?' Which unfortunately needs a Rated R [age certificate] or it needs those elements. The script is probably available online, it leaked. But it's very meta, I mean the character knows he's in a movie, he knows he's in a comic book. He names studio executives in the script. So, it's kind of a risky property. But, you know, we'll see. It's actually, within the last couple of weeks, taken a few very, very small tiptoes forward. In our lifetime? Yeah, I think so. I think if I were a betting man it'll get made, eventually. I mean it's just been developed to high heaven. It has great people around it, so we'll see."
With Jeff Wadlow scripting an X-Force movie that has Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld attached to consult, it's possible that Fox's mega-mutant movie will get off the ground first as a test to see whether Deadpool and Cable spin-offs would be a worthwhile venture. In other words, I'd be surprised if we saw either of those standalone characters in films before X-Force's planned debut in 2016.

I have been so excited and yet so nervous about this day. I am in much need of a vacation and so excited to be travelling with my husband and good friends yet I am nervous about the food on the ship. For the last 21 days I have been detoxing and following a whole food plan that has helped me release 10lbs an 4 inches and helped me to feel great. I know that eating the sugar and wheat is going to slowly steal away the positive changes. I am happy I have a choice and will be sticking with the healthiest food when I can and then I have to let the rest go. I am looking forward to exercise class that I am not leading and going to the gym to do my own workouts so at least I can make my body happy with those elements. Upon my return I am back at it and I welcome everyone to join me – just for the health of it!
I must admit I am very happy with the beginnings of change to my body – 3 inches off my abdomen and 1 inch off my hips in 15 days is a nice healthy change in a relatively short time. It was not without work and lots of food prep but it was without hunger or calorie restriction. As a health and fitness professional I think this plan is a very good one. I like it so much that I am planning to continue with portions of the program. The next challenge is trying to apply as many of these principles as I can when we go on a cruise in 7 days!
I must admit the toxins are being eliminated and I can see some changes starting. I small improvement in my energy today, a reduction in bloat – mostly in my stomach and face, a clear complexion, and an more positive outlook. Yes drinking the olive oil and lemon, the fish oil and the veggie broth have not been overly fun – but the results, so far, are well worth it. Tomorrow I will be weighing and measuring so I am excited to see what other physical changes have been achieve while living in this 'alkaline lifestyle.' I have the option of transitioning off the program tomorrow but I think I would like to continue….doing this on a cruise seems to be a daunting task but with some modification I believe I can keep the principles. Thank you all for your encouraging words and support.
So apparently at this point in the program most people should be starting to feel better however I am still experiencing withdrawal symptoms – the nutritionists are telling me I must be quite toxic…FUN! Right now poor Steve is having to live with my food cravings and my moodiness. I must say in the midst of all of this I have been putting together excellent bootcamp workouts – I think 'moody' Danielle has a little bit of an 'evil' side so the workouts have been quite challenging 🙂 Other good news is I am really enjoying most of the 'detox' foods – I am learning to cook wonderful curry dishes, I finally learned how to cook rice properly and I am experimenting with lots of fresh herbs. Tonight I am looking forward to curried veggies and chickpeas with moroccan carrots & green beans, yum! Thinking about joining me? Once I return from our Alaskan adventure I am hoping to run a modified DesignerFitness Detox challenge, send me a comment if you are interested in joining me…looks like I will be at this for a while 🙂
Yes! The last two days have been a real struggle for me. I have been emotional, frustrated and tired yet I know it is worth it. I recognize the importance of the journey – By making it through the tough stuff I rebuild my confidence so not only will changes happen physically but I feel stronger mentally as well. Yesterday was a little extra tough because we have wonderful friends that have no idea what it is like to have a weight issue and they want to hang out they want to eat. Each time I tell them I am restricting sugar or doing a cleanse I know they think I am crazy. On the other hand I am so thankful for the family God has given me, I don't know if I could do all of this without there support. Heres to 5 more days of character and health building!
The last 7 days have gone very well and resulted in many withdrawal symptoms and the awareness that my body just does not like gluten or sugar. After 7 days I am feeling more positive, retaining less water and I have release 6lbs. Now I am on the 2nd week and now deep into the process. Today I woke up 2 hours early just to fit all the good stuff in before my first client of the day. Upon waking I drank 2tbls of olive oil mixed with half a lemon to help flush toxins from my bile and liver. A simple 'whole food' thing to do but not very tasty :). Then I did 20min of morning stretch and movement. Next I get to enjoy a ultrashake full of all kind of berries, veggies, rice protein and alkaline foods to prepare me for the day. As the day progresses I get to eat very clean foods – now eliminating all gluten, dairy, eggs, beef, sugar and other common food allergies to really help my body preform optimal. There will also be exercise and other stress reducing activities to participate in throughout the day. I am looking forward to this week, listening to my body and feeling the results of honoring it.
As the withdrawal symptoms continue and the toxins are being eliminated I am becoming very aware of all parts of my body including my brain. Turns out that as the toxins are released I may experience brain fog and confusion. This became very true yesterday when I found myself driving in a completely different direction then where I wanted to go! Even my speech was effected – I found myself trying to educate my clients and struggling to find the appropriate words. Looks like I have some fun stuff to look forward to as I continue in this process. On the positive side I can really see a difference in my face – much less water retention and the elimination of the dark circles under my eyes. Proof is in the pudding and I can see the effect my recent food choices have had on my body. I am so thankful that our bodies are so resilient and when give the proper tools we can find better health.
Day two of the detox challenge and I will admit lack of caffeine, sugar and grains has left me a wee bit moody. I could laugh, yell or cry on a moments notice. It always amazes me how much food impacts my mood. I will be happy when this withdrawal process is over. I did have a fun game of tennis though – I do find it is important for me to get out and about when detoxing – exercise and sunshine certainly help! Heres to a relaxing bath tonight and some stress free hours.
Oh what fun it is to be me…looks like I may be suffering from toxic overload in my body…in fact we probably all are! So I decided it would be a good time for a Full Body Spring Cleaning. I am following a great program that I have researched that includes whole foods, stress managements and exercise. I am going to be posting to write about my experience in this 21 day challenge. Since today is day 1 I am happy to say that I am experiencing the beginning of the 'withdrawal' headache. This is a good sign as I have eliminated caffeine, sugar, refined carbohydrates and hydrogenated fats and now my body is letting me know that this stuff is poison in my body….silly poison can taste so good….I am in good spirits and ready for the challenge. I am looking forward to be a big grocery shop tomorrow and lots of meal prep to keep me going. I also am looking forward to doing some weight training and maybe a sauna to help get these toxins a movin'….Should be fun!

Pathogens, diseases, and people move across borders. Infectious diseases constantly evolve. Protecting Americans and people around the world demands that we develop better tools to address diverse threats—from familiar yet pernicious diseases like rabies to emerging and rapidly spreading viruses like chikungunya. We use laboratory testing, disease tracking, and epidemiologic investigations to keep infectious diseases at bay. This work requires continually stoking the pipeline with cutting- edge diagnostics and laboratory assays. We also stay on the hunt for innovative solutions, like finding a way for scientists on different sides of the globe to share the same microscope so they can identify a particularly elusive pathogen.
To advance our mission of reducing illness and death from infectious disease, the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), in collaboration with partners, has developed the following new tests and tools to better protect people from these wide-ranging, ever-changing threats.

I am a huge fan of quotes, especially if they can open people up to new ideas that they'd otherwise ignore from just another layman. Quotes can come from honest people who are interested in advancing freedom and liberty, or they can come from corrupt people intent on reshaping the world for their preferred forms of tyranny. Today I choose to share with you some of my favorite (unverified) education quotes. Note that in some of these quotes education actually means schooling. Please feel free to share your favorite quotes in the comments section below.
Independent Thought
Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
~ William Butler Yeats
An educated person is one who has learned that information almost always turns out to be at best incomplete and very often false, misleading, fictitious, mendacious – just dead wrong.
~ Russell Baker
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
~ Aristotle
No man who worships education has got the best out of education… Without a gentle contempt for education no man's education is complete.
~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense.
~ Robert Green Ingersoll
Since we can't know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned.
~ John Holt
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
~ Mark Twain (attributed)
In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards.
~ Mark Twain
There is no other complex field in our society in which do-it-yourself beats out factory production or market production. Nobody makes his or her own car. But it is still the case that parents can perform the job of educating their children [homeschooling], in many cases better than our present education system.
~ Milton Friedman
The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.
~ Albert Einstein
When a subject becomes totally obsolete we make it a required course.
~ Peter Drucker
Education… has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
~ G. M. Trevelyan
When school children start paying union dues, that's when I'll start representing the interests of school children.
~ Albert Shanker, former President of United Federation of Teachers (union)
Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves.
~ Ernest Dimnet
Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
~ Oscar Wilde
Freedom vs. Tyranny
An educated people can be easily governed.
~ Frederick The Great
Every educated person is a future enemy.
~ Martin Bormann, Prominent Nazi official
You can't make socialists out of individualists. Children who know how to think for themselves spoil the harmony of the collective society, which is coming, where everyone is interdependent.
~ John Dewey, avowed socialist and "father of modern education"
Far from failing in its intended task, our educational system is in fact succeeding magnificently, because its aim is to keep the American people thoughtless enough to go on supporting the system.
~ Richard Mitchell
Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army.
~ Edward Everett

Is a man or woman the best cosmetic dentist?
- Posted on: Aug 5 2015
I have been thinking about getting a smile makeover with porcelain veneers. But I am just getting ready to move again. So I was wondering if men or women make the best cosmetic dentist? Does gender matter when I am interested in more aesthetic work versus general dentistry?
– Kendra in Florida
That is an interesting question. To avoid an all out battle of the sexes, there really is no right or wrong answer. There are studies that show female dentists may be more empathetic and help to keep patients calm. Basically they have a more welcoming chair-side manner. This is likely due to women being the more nurturing, compassionate gender. Although, this preference certainly cannot correlate that women are the best cosmetic dentists.
Cosmetic dentistry is an art. So if you are looking into porcelain veneers, you need to do your research in selecting the best dentist for you. Look at their accreditation, credentials, and ask to see a portfolio of their work. The thing is, cosmetic dentistry is not a designated specialty area within dentistry. So anyone (man or woman) can make the claim to do porcelain veneers. It doesn't mean that they have any training or expertise in cosmetic dentistry though.
The best thing to do is interview several cosmetic dentists in your area. Ask to see cases similar to yours and meet with them personally. Many excellent cosmetic dentists will provide some sort of complimentary consultation. This short meeting will allow you to get a feel for their style, what drives their passion, and ultimately help you decide if you want to move forward with treatment.
Thank you for your question.

ngld has just updated Knossos to resolve the blank Explore tab issue. Make sure to auto-update to 0.14.3!
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
May have come across a bug in "Shopping" I failed the red comet race even after beating the time of 2:45.
I really enjoyed playtesting for this project. The additions and modification to episode 1 are very welcome, and episode 2 kept me hooked from start to finish. I've already played the campaign four times, and I can definitely say I wouldn't mind doing a fifth. If you're reading this, what are you doing? Go play the campaign already, it's well worth it!
32bit Win builts anybody?
Take a break you guys, you sure earned it.
Despite not foreseeing an Oct release, your team sure pulled off a good one releasing just two months later, Spoon BZ!Got the whole week to Meet and Kill aliens! Also, you might consider putting the trailer video from the dev blog in this release post...
So I decided to just try the manual install for WoD and it worked fine. For some reason the Knossos install will not launch for me at all. It doesn't give an error or a log I can find (My last log was from 68 days ago or something ridiculous). I could play with the manual install but I would love to play through Knossos if possible. While I was fiddling with things I noticed I can no longer launch any of the nightlies through Knossos. The only build that actually even launches anymore is the 3.8.0 stable build.
I look forward to downloading this and playing through both episodes. It's not a stealth sequel to anything is it?
Don't use Knossos, Ubuntu 16.04 here
Yeah, I'm sorry to report that the engine is having problems with low end AMD GPUs when using TTF fonts in mods (like WoD). It's especially troublesome because anyone who could fix it doesn't have a card like that to debug it for themselves.
Quote from: Nightmare on December 29, 2018, 08:14:35 pm32bit Win builts anybody? I know that Axem already send you a build in the mean time. I hope it works out okay!
There's a knossos log in %appdata%\knossos\log.txtTry pasting that either here or in #knossos on Discord
Also; is your "Engine Preferred Stability" (Settings->Knossos) still set to "Nightlies"?
Lastly, I presume the 68 day old log is your FSO log? What place on your disk did you get that log from?

In Yugoslavia right now hundreds of thousands of people are continuing their protest as part of the first general strike in the country since World War II. They are demanding that President Slobodan Milosovic step down from power and recognize what they call the Election victory of opposition candidate Vojislav Kostunica. Last night in a rare nationally televised address to the nation, Slobodon Milosovic attacked the opposition saying they were trying to breakup the country and hand it over to NATO. Democracy Now correspondent Jeremy Scahill is in the streets of Yugoslavia.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 9 (UPI) -- Matt Harrison limited San Francisco to five hits and threw the third shutout of his career Friday in bringing the Texas Rangers a 5-0 victory over the Giants.
Harrison (8-3) won his fourth straight start and got home run support from Ian Kinsler and Josh Hamilton.
This is Harrison's fifth major league season and he had not had a shutout in three years. He did not walk a batter and struck out four while throwing 111 pitches.
Texas had lost its previous two games and San Francisco had won two straight.
Kinsler hit a solo homer leading off the first and Josh Hamilton slugged his 22nd of the year in the fifth to give the Rangers a 3-0 lead.
Kinsler singled in a run in the sixth and Craig Gentry had RBI singles in the fourth and ninth among his five hits. Gentry raised his batting average to .341 in 88 at-bats this season.
Barry Zito (5-3) took the loss, giving up four runs on six hits in nine innings.

SKATEISTAN via Crowdrise
January 03, 2013
EVENT DATE: Dec 03, 2012
Show your support this holiday season by participating in our "Keep Skateistan Rolling" fundraising drive for the month of December.
Since 2007 we've rarely asked our supporters for donations but as a grassroots NGO we in fact rely on the generosity of people around the world like you to continue the work that we do. At the same time, we know how annoying it gets to be hassled on the street by some stranger with a clipboard or bombarded with guilt-inducing images, so we thought we'd make this fundraising drive all about showing you some behind-the-scenes action at Skateistan.
Over the first week of December, as a part of the "Keep Skateistan Rolling" drive, we released a new daily video, giving you a glimpse into daily life at our project sites and the amazing youth we work with. The video stories also give you an idea of how your holiday donations can impact the lives of Skateistan's students, especially the skater girls in Afghanistan and Cambodia.
A few examples:
$10 - Transport for 10 Cambodian youth to and from Skateistan for 2 weeks
$20 – Fuel to bring 140 girls in Kabul to Skateistan each week
$50 – Management training course for one female Afghan staff member
Every donation, no matter how small, helps keep Skateistan students rolling towards new opportunities and personal empowerment. To those of you who donate even more, we love you for it and we'll put it to good use!
This year, consider making a donation in the name of your friend or family member that will give the gift of skateboarding to Afghan and Cambodian children.
How to join the campaign:
1) Take 2 minutes to support Skateistan, and make a donation right now!
2) Give the perfect Christmas gift by making a donation in the name of a friend or family member.
3) Share our posts and videos on Facebook (www.facebook.com/skateistan), Twitter (www.skateistan.org/twitter), and through email, or even in-person with humans!
4)Promote the campaign through your website, blog or business.
We appreciate any support you can offer!
As of December 10th, 2012, E-card and photo prizes are no longer available to new donors of the "Keep Skateistan Rolling" fundraising drive.
To see the difference your donation makes, you can watch all the 'Keep Skateistan Rolling' videos here: http://www.skateistan.org/keep-skateistan-rolling

A lot of what I have been posting lately hasn't quite been ready to wear. These new looks by Sneezer Parade are totally doable for the 'street smart' dresser.
Korea's Sneezer Parade release their Spring/Summer 2014 lookbook. The collection is a mash of grunge, street, and prep with 1950s newsboy, an extremely wide range of styles put together. Striped baseball jackets, tight polos, and workwear denim manage well with oversized gold jewelry. The most interesting detail of the collection is the shirt slip for ties that show up on button-downs that come with full or 3/4 sleeves.

General News of Tuesday, 20 July 2010
Source: Peace FM
Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr, is asking for the immediate quashing of the charges preferred against Ato Kwamena Dadzie, Acting News Editor for JoyFM, by the police, since in his view the issue does warrant such an action.
Mr. Pratt argues that any attempt to prosecute the acting News Editor of JoyFM will amount to strangulation of free speech and a affront to press freedom.
Ato Kwamena Dadzie was granted bail by police after he was officially charged on Monday. He is due for court on Wednesday, July 21st. He has been charged under section 208 of the criminal code for false publication intended to cause fear and harm.
This follows his refusal to disclose source(s) of a news story aired on JoyFM a couple of days ago in which it was alleged that members of the Ghana Real Estate Development Agency (GREDA) received threatening text messages to back down on their opposition to a $10 billion housing project that government had entered into with Korea construction firm STX.
The police say their action is part of efforts to "protect life and property". According to DSP Ofori, the original intent of the police was not to arrest Ato Kwamena Dadzie, adding that the police have a duty to investigate the case and "protect life and property" as well as bring to book the "perpetrators of the [text] messages."
But contributing to a panel discussion on "Kokrokoo", PeaceFM's flagship programme, the outspoken social democrat pointed that it is unethical for a journalist to disclose his or her source of information for any reason.
"…Ato is doing the right thing…It's an exercise in futility; it's a bad practice to disclose the source of your information," he stated.
The Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper urged the police to let Ato Kwamena Dadzie be.
"Leave Ato Kwamena Dadzie alone," he said.

Creating a roommate cleaning schedule for your apartment may seem like a simple task. However, it takes strategic thinking and careful communication to approach your roommates about establishing a precise cleaning routine and having regular cleaning habits. But before you all speak together, find out what you'll need to include in a fool-proof apartment chore plan:
When creating a chore plan, remember it's crucial that you meet with your roommates and discuss what needs to get done. Also be sure to evenly distribute tasks so that no one feels like they'll be doing more than their fair share of work. Below are some tips from us:
Are your roommates the type who will react well to a chore chart or would they more likely find it insulting? Knowing how they will react as well as their level of cleanliness will help you determine how best to approach schedule making.
Whether you have one roommate or three, everyone should be involved. Make sure your roommates are aware of your plans. You may want to surprise them with a nice treat, a group meal perhaps, before suggesting chores or mentioning cleaning habits you'd like to implement.
Remember that frequent, strategic cleaning is the key to bringing your apartment under control. Make suggestions for frequent cleaning, especially when it comes to chores like bathroom or kitchen cleaning that can otherwise get out of hand. Be sure, however, to evenly distribute these tasks as conflict will inevitably occur otherwise.
Before creating a regular cleaning schedule to ensure a spotless apartment, you'll need to decide what tasks must be included, as well as how frequently these chores need to be performed. This may vary depending on your living condition, preferences and roommates.
Consider including the following tasks in your chore chart:
Scrubbing the shower and toilet can be a simple task if you add this to your apartment cleaning plan. Also, these chores are much easier if you split them with your roommates, ensuring they are done weekly or at least twice per month.
Equipment in your kitchen needs to be kept in good condition. This usually involves daily or weekly cleaning based on the frequency you and your roommates are in the kitchen.
After-meal cleanup is a must. The quickest way to a mess in an apartment is a kitchen cluttered with dirty dishes. You may choose to split chores with your roommate by determining that he who cooks must clean up after him or herself. Or you may choose to have another roommate clean after the meal is consumed. There's no right or wrong way to do this since it all depends on you and the roommates with which you share your apartment.
Floors need to be swept and vacuumed. Furniture and common areas need to be tidied and dusted. Vacuuming can be reduced, or potentially eliminated with a robot vacuum cleaner that has smart scheduling and smartphone integration.
Life will be much more pleasant (and less smelly) with your roommates if you add this task to your list. Garbage should be taken out at least once per week, depending on how much garbage generally accumulates in your apartment.
To make cleaning easier, we've created an easy-to-use chore chart for you to download and print at home so you and your roommates can get started on cleaning right away!
This chore chart pairs perfectly with our downloadable cleaning schedules too, ideal for individuals in large households or those who share apartments with roommates.
Our cleaning schedule makes it easy for individuals to set chores and evenly distribute them among those with whom you live. So if your apartment currently looks more like a pigsty than a home, there's no need to fear or feel frustrated. Turn your home into a clean and tidy living space by splitting chores with your roommates through an apartment cleaning schedule!

I have wanted to cut back the loquat tree for months. Time is running out since pruning needs to be done by early spring before the fruit tree starts to bloom. This afternoon I grabbed the ladder, pruning shears, and the Silky Pocket Boy, to get to the business. According to Wikipedia, loquat tree is an evergreen large shrub or small tree. In my case, it's the largest shrub and tree on Sand Village Farm. Since it's evergreen, it never goes dormant like the peach and apple trees. Loquat's large waxy leaves are falling all year round and they take years to decompose. I made the mistake of filling up my compost tumbler in December 2009 with loquat leaves, and they still haven't fully decomposed.

As I started to prune the tree, I found several clusters of flowers. I made sure that I didn't cut them off by accident. Although this tree is quite large, it produces very few loquats. I am not sure whether it was because it was grown from a seed or just lack of pruning. In addition to low production, the squirrels and birds tend to get the loquats first.
I tried to thin out the tree for several reasons. By thinning the tree, hopefully, more energy will go into producing fruits instead of growing leaves. Secondly, it would be a littler easier to pick the fruits if I am lucky enough to get a few.

Al Gore (b. 1948) is an American politician, teacher, businessman, and environmentalist. From 1993 to 2001, he was the 45th Vice President of the United States under the Clinton administration.
Gore had served in the United States House of Representatives (1977–85) and the United States Senate (1985–93) representing Tennessee. He was the Democratic nominee for President in the 2000 election — but lost the electoral vote to George W. Bush. Today, Gore is president of the American television channel Current TV, chairman of Generation Investment Management, a director on the board of Apple Inc., and an adviser to Google's senior management. He lectures widely on the topic of global warming, which he calls "the climate crisis." In 2006, he starred in the Academy Award-winning documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, discussing global warming and the environment.
In 2006, Gore received the The Jim Henson Celebration Honor. The former Vice President received the highest honor that year for his "tireless efforts to educate audiences everywhere about the effects of global warming, and articulating his message in a compelling and powerful way that inspires action."
"The Jim Henson Honors embrace the creativity and inspiration all around us. These honorees remind us that in whatever we do there can be beauty and joy that makes the world a better place...Mr. Gore has shown commitment to a message and has articulated that message in a creative way that has inspired discussion, debate and action. Our employees and artists have been impressed by his call to action as I am sure many others have as well."
—Lisa Henson[1]
While he has not yet appeared directly with the Muppets, Gore appeared as part of the Inaugural Celebration for Children in 1994 along with the Clintons, the Muppets and others. When Katie Couric quit as show host for The Today Show on NBC, there was a segment where first Al Gore, then Harry Connick Jr., and finally Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, sent her their best wishes.

Going into this season our mindset is simply: FINAO - FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION
Posted by:

Going into this season our mindset is simply: FINAO - FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION
This off-season has been extremely rewarding for many reasons. While last season didn't end how we would have liked, the team is healthy and ready for this season to begin. Being a competitor, the off-seasons can grow long. You get the itch to go out and compete with your teammates. This team is motivated, hungry and aspires to leave a legacy for the City of Seattle. We are using last season as motivation and going into this season with the mindset that Failure Is Not An Option.
While off-season OTA's and Minicamps only reveal so much, I can tell you that one thing this team does not lack in is passion and the desire to continually get better. Offensively, the growth is apparent. Russ has continued to perfect his game and it's evident his bond with the receiving core continues to get stronger. I am extremely proud of my man, Doug Baldwin, in receiving the extension that he deserved. The receiving core is ready and hungry… Little Lockett, Doug, Jermaine and it'll be a big boost to add Jimmy back to the fold. It's also encouraging and motivating to see Rawls' work tirelessly to get back on the field. It'll be great to see the offensive line when the pads are on, I know they are as ready as anyone to line up against the opposition.
Defensively, we're ready. We are strong on all levels of the defense. I'm excited to see the rook, Jarran Reed, get to work in the middle. It goes without saying the Cliff and Mike Bennett will continue to get after the quarterback. At Linebacker, Bobby and KJ put in a heck of an off-season and the boys are hungry to fill in the vacancy left by Bruce. In the Legion of Boom, you know we are ready. We are cohesive, strong and have a lot of depth in this secondary. We have extremely high expectations as a secondary and a defensive unit and as an overall team, but if your expectations aren't high, then what are you playing for?
While we are ready for camp, it is also important to reflect on the positives of this off-season. Having time to ourselves in the off-season is great because it gives me time with my family and allows me the opportunity to really go to work in the community through my foundation, Blanket Coverage. One of my favorite parts of this off-season is that I was able to visit a number of different schools in an attempt to leave a lasting impact on students. Growing up in Compton, CA, I was the biggest Lakers fan and always looked up to Magic Johnson. When Magic made an appearance at my high school and spoke to our student body about the importance of utilizing education to achieve your goals, and not be a product of your circumstances, it greatly impacted me. It is a moment I will never forget. He instilled in me that no matter what hand you are dealt don't use it as an excuse not to achieve your goals. I aim to provide the same impact on today's youth.
To whom much is given much is expected. It's a privilege for me to have this platform as it allows me to have a positive influence on our youth. My message to our future leaders is simple… FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION. Every person encounters significant challenges throughout life and there often are times where we feel there is no hope, but do not give in. Failing should be looked at as a learning lesson, a motivating point that makes us hungrier. Do not give in to your perceived failure – failure is a myth as long as you keep learning and moving forward. Aspire for big goals and set incremental goals that will lead you to that big goal. If you desire to become an attorney there are several steps that need to be achieved in order to reach your goal - you need to first graduate high school, then college, then take your LSAT, graduate from law school and pass the bar exam. Success doesn't come overnight or else everyone would be successful. Success comes from focused, consistent effort and an unwillingness to accept failure. I want our youth to understand that despite being dealt an unfortunate hand in life, dealing with bullying in schools or on social media, or having negative influences around you, do not succumb to the noise, overcome it.
It is easy to be a critic, but persevering and pursuing your goals takes courage. Do not listen to the negativity, use it as motivation. Academics is at the crux of success. Treat every day with respect. Through Blanket Coverage, I often speak with students individually who I feel need the extra guidance. We make the students sign agreements that if they are able to achieve a certain GPA, they will be rewarded by my foundation. I strive to hold students responsible because earning a reward through hard work is so much more impactful than just being given something.
My motivation comes from seeing the growth of students that my foundation is lending help to. I've seen kids that have started with 1.0 GPA's transform to 3.5 GPA students who are now on a path towards college. We didn't do much, we just helped alter the mindset. We tried to boost confidence and allow students to look at the positives instead of dwelling on the negatives. We looked at negativity and perceived failure as learning experiences and life lessons.
As a foundation, we had an opportunity to visit several elementary and high schools this off-season, one of the most impactful and memorable experiences for me was seeing how bullying can affect a student. Bullying is real and I cannot stand it! Not only is their bullying by spoken words, but now cyber bullying has become increasingly prevalent. I've witnessed it ruin students' confidence and I will not stand for it. All individuals need to take a stance against bullying and lead by example that these actions are not acceptable. Do not listen to the noise or the distractions others cause, focus on your goals and persevere.
This offseason I had the privilege to align with a company called FINAO www.finaonation.com, which allows me to stay on top of the students' we are speaking to and follow their progression towards achieving their goals. FINAO is a mobile app that allows you to list your goals and post updates on the progress towards those goals. This gives me and my foundation the ability to follow our students and track their progress, while also giving the students the ability to follow my journey. The FINAO mindset suggests that failure is a myth and, by your own definitions of success, Failure Is Not An Option. Don't get me wrong, failing is a part of every successful journey. However, "failure" does not exist when we choose to persevere. It's innovations and tools like this that will further allow us to grow as a foundation and provide a positive influence to our youth.
I'm looking forward to seeing you 12's in Training Camp and at the first preseason game. This team is ready, motivated and going into the season with the mindset of… FINAO!

North Korea: At a meeting with military officers on 1 April, Kim Jong Un warned that the circumstances of the country are very grave and vowed to crush hostile US policies.
Comment: Kim's remarks make it official: the thaw in relations with the South has ended for now. A month ago it was just the opposite.North Korean leaders can never just do something because it needs doing. They invariably wrap themselves in pariotism, crisis and victimization, and triumph over insurmountable odds. As a result they consign the people to endless sacrifices and poverty. Expect rocket and missile launches and probably a nuclear-related test, but the timing is not clear.
India: SpecialComment. General elections begin on 7 April and will run through 12 May. A new Pew Survey poll found that Indians are unhappy with the direction of government and judge it is time for a change after a decade of Congress-led coalition government. While it is difficult to credit a poll taken in a democracy of 1.2 billion people with 812 million registered voters, Pew's findings are similar to the analyses of most Indian political commentaries.
The apparent front runner is the National Democratic Alliance, which is a coalition led by the nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Its candidate for prime minister is Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister of Gujarat State. Its platform stresses economic development, especially job creation.
Rahul Gandhi, son of the late prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, is the candidate for prime minister of the ruling coalition which is led by the Indian National Congress. The Congress platform always calls for greater social justice.
Multiple surveys indicate Modi is more popular than Gandhi.
Pakistan: State-run television reported the Interior Ministry has rejected a request from former President Musharraf to go abroad for medical treatment and to see his ailing mother. Irfan Sadiqui, the prime minister's adviser on national affairs, told thePTVon Wednesday that the government rejected Musharraf's request as it could make it difficult for the government to bring him to court once he leaves the country.
Comment: It is probably politically impossible to allow Musharraf to leave at this stage of the proceedings against him. The Interior Ministry is the proper authority for making the decision. For now, Musharraf is still headed to trial.
Peace talks. A spokesman said the Pakistani Taliban would not extend the ceasefire that has been in place for the past month. However, the Taliban remain open to peace talks with the government. Some Taliban leaders said the government's inaction on their requests would lead to renewed attacks.
Comment: The government's limited prisoner relief is enough to keep the parties talking, but apparently not enough to prevent attacks from resuming.
Saudi Arabia: The interior ministry is enforcing the new anti-terrorism law and new regulations on what constitutes "terrorism" in the Kingdom. The sweeping provisions criminalize virtually any expression or association critical of the Kingdom and its understanding of Islam. These "terrorism" provisions include the following:
Article 1: "Calling for atheist thought in any form, or calling into question the fundamentals of the Islamic religion on which this country is based."
Article 2: "Anyone who throws away their loyalty to the country's rulers, or who swears allegiance to any party, organization, current of thought, group, or individual inside or outside the kingdom."
Article 4: "Anyone who aids "terrorist" organizations, groups, currents of thought, associations, or parties, or demonstrates affiliation with them, or sympathy with them, or promotes them, or holds meetings under their umbrella, either inside or outside the kingdom; this includes participation in audio, written, or visual media; social media in its audio, written, or visual forms; internet websites; or circulating their contents in any form, or using slogans of these groups and currents of thought, or any symbols which point to support or sympathy with them."
Article 6: "Contact or correspondence with any groups, currents of thought, or individuals hostile to the kingdom."
Article 8: "Seeking to shake the social fabric or national cohesion, or calling, participating, promoting, or inciting sit-ins, protests, meetings, or group statements in any form, or anyone who harms the unity or stability of the kingdom by any means."
Article 9: "Attending conferences, seminars, or meetings inside or outside the kingdom targeting the security of society, or sowing discord in society."
Article 11: "Inciting or making countries, committees, or international organizations antagonistic to the kingdom."
Comment: The laws and supporting decrees were enacted in March. They gave jihadis in Syria 15 days to return or be considered terrorists. They also labeled the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization and criminalized atheism as "terrorism."
The new regulations are the most far reaching and restrictive of any enacted to date. They criminalize any form of protest or advocacy of reform. They are as severe and as authoritarian as any in North Korea. Cumulatively, they are an indicator that the monarchy is concerned seriously about internal stability.

You might assume that your child's heaviest friend isn't as healthy as his average-sized friend, or that his tiny friend isn't getting quite enough to eat, but size isn't always an indicator of health, according to the website, KidsHealth. Pediatricians rely on height and weight charts for kids to determine whether they are developing at a steady pace based on individual factors, such as heredity and individual growth trends.
Significance of Charts
Children aren't all measured by the same chart. For example, different charts measure boys and girls, because they don't grow in the same way, states KidsHealth. However, all charts measure the same features of your child and others. Doctors will measure and chart your child's head circumference, length and weight until she's 36 months; for older kids, doctors chart height, weight and body mass index.
What Percentiles Mean
Your pediatrician uses your child's various measurements to determine what percentile your child is in for each measurement. Percentiles essentially tell you how your child compares with other children of the same age and sex. If the chart says that 90 percent of all of your child's peers are taller than she is, she falls in the 10th percentile for height. If she is in the 50th percentile for weight, she is at the average weight for children of her age and sex.
BMI Chart
The body mass index, or BMI, formula indirectly assesses whether your child is in a healthy weight range, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. After your pediatrician plugs your child's weight and height into the BMI formula, he plots the resulting number onto a BMI chart for children of the same age and sex. Your child is considered underweight if he is under the fifth percentile, in a healthy range if he is at the fifth but under the 85th percentile, overweight if he is at the 85th percentile but under the 95th and obese if his BMI is at or over the 95th percentile, reports the CDC.
Reasons for Concern
Your child's percentile for any given measurement is less significant than her overall growth rate. The pediatrician may express concern about your child's size if your child's percentiles change dramatically, according to KidsHealth. If she was once in the 80th percentile for height and weight and then her height drops to the 40th or 50th percentile at her next visit, there could be cause for concern or it might be that she's just be going through a temporary growth lull. The pediatrician may express concern if your child's weight percentile is dramatically higher than her height percentile. Additionally, if your child's weight falls under the third percentile or if it is 20 percent under the ideal weight for her height, she might be diagnosed as failing to thrive, according to MedlinePlus.
Additional Considerations
Charts and numbers don't tell the whole story of your child's health. Your pediatrician will also consider factors such as your child's genes, health, diet and exercise to interpret the chart results, according to KidsHealth. If, for instance, your child's BMI percentile is high, he may actually be muscular. Your pediatrician may then rule out health problems by performing assessments such as a skinfold thickness test. Alternately, if your child's height and weight are suddenly on the low end, your pediatrician may test your child's blood and urine to rule out any potential health problems.
