By: Aliza Chasan
A cyclist was hit by a wrong-way driver fleeing police.
MIDTOWN MANHATTAN — A cyclist is in critical condition after being hit by a wrong-way driver fleeing from police, an NYPD spokesperson said.
The cyclist was rushed to Bellevue Hospital after being hit near Penn Station around 8 p.m., an FDNY spokesperson said. The victim is in serious but stable condition.
The driver was spotted driving recklessly in a parking garage Sunday night, officials said. The car crossed over Eighth Avenue onto 34th Street and police attempted to pull the car over, but the driver turned left onto Seventh Avenue and proceeded to drive down the street the wrong way.
Police took the driver into custody after the cyclist was struck, an NYPD spokesman said.
No identifying information is available for the driver or for the cyclist. Charges have not yet been filed.

Interstate 240 and Park Avenue in East Memphis will be closed over the weekend, starting 9 p.m. Friday Feb. 8, so crews can finish sliding a massive railroad bridge into place.
The bridge slide – jacking up and moving a 2-million-pound railroad bridge onto a permanent foundation – follows last weekend's successful relocation of the first bridge section.
Detours will be in effect from 9 p.m. Friday until 6 a.m. Monday. The closing will shut down I-240 between the Interstate 40/240 flyover and Bill Morris Parkway (Tennessee 385).
Another weekend closing is scheduled Feb. 15-18.
The Tennessee Department of Transportation's (TDOT) construction schedule is weather dependent.
TDOT's $54.1 million project, known as MemFix4, is replacing four bridges over I-240 using accelerated bridge construction. It involves selected night-time lane closings and up to 12 full weekend closings of I-240 from June 2018 to June 2019.
New bridges for the Norfolk Southern Railroad were built on temporary foundations this summer to assure uninterrupted rail service.
The temporary structures will be removed next weekend after the new bridges are fully operable.
Through traffic on Poplar Avenue won't be affected, but Poplar's ramps connecting to I-240 will be closed.
During the closures TDOT is detouring interstate traffic onto the north I-40 loop and the south I-240 loop. Walnut Grove will remain open, but it won't have I-240 access.

If you purchase a property and need to make repairs, be wary of any contractors who ask for money in advance. You should not have to pay before the work is done, and if you do, you run the risk of getting ripped off. At the very least, never pay the full amount ahead of time, instead hire an onsite appliance repair team.
Choose something that has the potential to increase in value. A place by a business district or that's near water, for instance, may mean you'll make more later on. As time goes on, you will get better at estimating how much the value of a property will increase by.
Make sure that you do a background check on your tenants. Make sure your tenants pay you a deposit and first and last month's rent. If this isn't possible with the tenant, they are likely going to default on any rent agreement. Find someone else.
When you buy any investment property, make sure you have a handyman that's good and affordable. If not, you will find all your positive cash flow eaten up by exorbitant repair expenses. A good handyman can help make sure any tenant emergencies are taken care of after business hours.


Our bodies are made up of billions of individual cells. By the time we are fully grown, the majority of the body's cells don't and divide and multiply much. The Body's cells spend most of the time in a resting state and only divide if they are needed to repair damage. When our cells divide they split into two, identical new cells. So as a result, where there was just 1 cell, there are now 2 which then divide to make 4 and then 8 and so on.
With Cancer the cells keep on dividing until there is a mass of cells, this mass then becomes a lump. This lump is referred to as a tumour. To conclude cancer cells divide more times than most normal cells.
Chemotherapy starts killing cancer cells by first entering the bloodstream and damaging dividing cells. Cells that are in the process of dividing are more likely to be damaged by chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is able to kill the cell by attaching and damaging the part of the control centre inside each cell that causes the cells to divide, it may also interrupt the chemical procedure involved in cell division.
Chemotherapy drugs circulate around the body via the bloodstream and are able to reach cancer cells almost anywhere in the body. This is referred to as systemic treatment.
Chemotherapy damages cells as they divide. In the centre of each cell is the Nucleus (See diagram). The role of the nucleus is to act as a control centre. It contains chromosomes, which are made up of genes. These genes have to be copied exactly each time a cell divides into 2 to make new cells.
Chemotherapy is able to damage the genes inside the nucleus of cells. Many drugs damage cells at the point of splitting. Others damage cells while they are making copies of all their genes before they split. Cells that are at rest though, for instance most normal cells are much less likely to be damaged by chemotherapy. It is likely you may have a combination of different chemotherapy drugs that damage cells at different stages during the process of cell division. This combination of chemotherapy drugs increases the chances of killing more cells.
However that fact that chemotherapy drugs can kill dividing cells always helps to explain why chemotherapy can cause certain side effects. Chemotherapy affects healthy body tissues too where the cells are always growing and dividing. As a result of these healthy body tissues cells dividing chemotherapy can damage them, but normal cells can repair or replace the healthy cells damaged by chemotherapy. This means the damage to healthy cells doesn't usually last. Usually most side effects disappear once your chemotherapy treatment is over, and some only occur during the days while you are receiving the drugs e.g. Nausea, sickness and diarrhoea.
The Success of Chemotherapy treating cancer?
This all depends on what cancer you have, commonly with some types of cancer most people are cured by chemotherapy; with some other types fewer people are completely cured.
Though with some cancers, Chemotherapy is unable to cure the cancer on its own, but can be very successful when combined with other treatments. E.g. a Patient with breast or bowel cancer can received chemotherapy after surgery to lower the risk of cancer returning.
Provide you with a longer life by controlling the cancer or putting it into remission.
Remission – What does it mean?
It is the word used by doctors to describe that there are no signs of cancer after treatment. There are two types' complete remission and partial remission.

New golf carts recently arrived at Riverbend Golf Complex in Kent. COURTESY PHOTO, City of Kent
Kent's Riverbend Golf Complex gets 72 new golf carts
City Council approves four-year lease agreement for $333,277; cart revenues easily cover cost
Monday, January 31, 2022 4:56pm
Seventy-two new golf carts are available to rent at the city of Kent-owned Riverbend Golf Complex.
The City Council approved the lease Jan. 18 of 36 electric and 36 gas-powered carts as well as three utility carts at a cost of $333,277 over the four-year term or $83,319 per year, to be paid to Pacific Golf and Turf, of Snohomish.
The city replaces all of the carts after every four years, said Pete Petersen, Riverbend Golf Complex manager, in a Jan. 6 report to the council's Parks and Human Services Committee.
"We average about 15,000 cart rentals a year and about $200,000 in revenue per year," Petersen said.
That revenue covers the cost of the carts as part of the annual Riverbend Golf Complex budget. The current cost to rent a cart is $18 per rider for 18 holes.
Petersen said he often gets asked why the city doesn't buy only electric carts.
"We would love to have all electric but we are at our capacity for our electrical ability to charge carts," Petersen said. "Down the road, we would love to extend that so we have all electric."
Through a formal recruitment process that included requests for proposals, the Parks Department selected Pacific Golf and Turf.
The carts are critical to the overall customer experience and playability at the course and allow Riverbend to keep its on-site maintenance costs low and public equipment in high-quality condition, according to city documents. The 18-hole course is at 2019 W. Meeker St.
Petersen said the lease is about $2,000 a month higher than the previous agreement from five years ago. He said the costs of the carts and lithium batteries have increased. But he said the batteries are maintenance free for five years and will reduce operating costs by about $7,500 per year compared to the previous fleet.

What is natural language query (NLQ)?
Providing your analytics users the ability to get answers from their data is useful, but only if the solution can guide them to ask the right questions.
The rising integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in many business intelligence (BI) solutions has enabled new innovative approaches in combining natural language techniques with self-service analytics, resulting in helpful NLQ tools.
But what is NLQ, exactly, and why is it now important? Is it the same thing as typing in a question in a search engine, or something more? And how is it different from other natural language techniques out there? This article aims to explain its many nuances.
Natural language query (NLQ) is a capability in BI software solutions that allows people to ask questions of data within their analytics platform, using everyday language as they would to another person, to find information they need to make business decisions.
Depending on the sophistication of the NLQ offering, analytics users can query data using terms either typed, or spoken into a search box. The BI system then parses for keywords, searches relevant databases and generates an answer, typically using a report or chart that attempts to answer the query, and ideally helps provide understanding.
NLQ tools come in different forms and levels of integration, varying between software vendors. Some platforms incorporate voice interaction and queries through a virtual personal assistant, and support integration on mobile phones and other smart devices. NLQ can also be combined with conversational AI solutions, such as virtual artificial intelligence (AI) assistants, or chatbots.
NLQ sits under an umbrella of natural language technologies that enable new ways to not just communicate information between humans and systems, but explain data and analysis in a way that is accessible to those not as analytically inclined. The other fields of natural language commonly used in analytics include natural language processing (NLP), natural language generation (NLG) and natural language understanding (NLU).
What is the purpose of using NLQ for BI?
The basis of natural language query would be familiar to anyone who has used Google.
You type in a set of keywords, and the system instantly matches them with relevant information found in related databases, providing a list of results with a set of answers.
In analytics, however, its core purpose is different.
Modern BI solutions combine NLQ with embedded AI and machine learning models, generated from augmented analytics, for the purpose of assisting non-technical users to analyze their data easier and faster, as part of the rise of the augmented consumer trend.
NLQ is another effective way to democratize self-service analytics in the business, and make more information accessible to more people, not just data experts or analysts, who are searching for it, which is why it's now much more available. In short, NLQ can help:
Assist non-technical people by providing another way to explore their data
Enhance other traditional analysis techniques, such as report building
Make the use of analytics more pervasive throughout the organization overall
With NLQ, instead of having to manually dig into data, an analytics user can theoretically get started on their journey for answers by asking questions of the system directly, and get a relevant answer, rather than having to rely solely on finding answers in a traditional dashboard or chart - which not all non-technical BI users would be able to do.
NLQ's overall rise in prominence comes as analytics vendors have begun to offer other modern tools to streamline the analysis process for all users, not just experts and analysts, including data storytelling and automated business monitoring.
What does NLQ offer for software companies and enterprise analytics users?
Self-service analytics need to match its users. Even though many software vendors have made BI easier with better user interfaces and streamlined processes, it still takes a lot of technical knowledge, data literacy and skill to simply use many of these tools.
For example, your Sales team may never build a report or chart just because some self-service dashboard tools are available. They may not have the time, skills, or the time to pick up the necessary knowledge. These options better suit data analysts or reasonably technical dashboard creators, who make complex reports daily.
NLQ can help change that, for non-technical users who might not be as well-versed with traditional BI solutions (i.e. don't have the time), or who simply don't get the same level of understanding others may from consuming a dashboard or a chart.
Natural language query example: Yellowfin Guided NLQ.
For Independent Software Vendors (ISVs): With NLQ available, software companies can further open up true self-service analytics for their customers without adding to the support burden of IT, by enabling the system to provide answers to data queries. As it stands today, the ISV has to help customize many reports for their customers or field consulting services to do so.
For Enterprise: NLQ can help increase adoption of analytics platforms because more users will be able to use it, in particular much-neglected, non-technical business users.
The growing pains of NLQ analytics - and its future
The capability for software systems to parse structured data and generate text and spoken language from it is far from a new technology or technique. Rather, the gradually increasing sophistication in its ability to generate truly relevant answers, has been.
But, as we've covered previously, many NLQ solutions, (also called search-based BI tools) available in the market today have not delivered on expectations and promises, or failed to provide an effective solution for non-technical users to get answers, resulting in wasted potential. Thankfully, there's a new approach to NLQ coming.
At Yellowfin, we believe in a different approach to leveraging the possibilities that NLQ can unlock. While everyone else is focusing on providing a search-based experience for their users, we see NLQ working best as a guided experience. And this radically different approach is the way to go, to ensure self-service analytics is democratized for every user.
The future of NLQ is guided, not search-based
Learn why traditional search-based NLQ just hasn't lived up to expectations, and how a new guided approach to NLQ will open up analytics for everyone.

Abdominal etching at Bednar Cosmetic Surgery takes you a step beyond liposuction. This procedure is intended to give you a flatter, tighter stomach area, with stronger muscle definition, showing off the inscriptions of your abdominal muscles.
The best candidate for this procedure has naturally athletic-looking underlying muscles that can be accentuated with abdominal etching. People who are liposuction candidates, with very localized, exercise-resistant fat deposits, can obtain additional improvements through abdominal etching.
Abdominal etching is performed in the office often under "twilight" or general anesthesia. Dr. Bednar will discuss anesthesia options with you. Most patients return home within hours after surgery. Results can vary among patients due to personal anatomy factors, such as the unchangeable appearance of the underlying muscles.
Want a more toned abdomen?

In this article we will explain how to sign up for Making Tax Digital, connect your FreeAgent account to HMRC and then the process of filing your VAT return.
As of 1st April 2019, VAT-registered businesses with a taxable turnover above the VAT threshold are required to use the Making Tax Digital service to keep records digitally. As a FreeAgent user, you can submit those VAT returns directly to HMRC!
To learn more about the government's Making Tax Digital initiative, check out our MTD guides and resources.
Even if you've been using FreeAgent to file your VAT returns for a while, you still need to manually switch over to Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT filing.
First things first, if you haven't already, head to HMRC's MTD for VAT sign up page and sign up your business.
Not all businesses are currently eligible to join the pilot so HMRC will perform some checks before sending you a confirmation email. This can take up to 72 hrs and once you receive a confirmation, you are ready to connect FreeAgent with HMRC.
If you're not currently eligible, you will need to continue filing VAT returns as you have done, through FreeAgent's existing VAT filing system or through HMRC's website.
If you make VAT payments through Direct Debit, you cannot sign up in the seven working days leading up to, or the five working days after your VAT Return is due.
After successfully signing up for MTD for VAT with HMRC, log into your FreeAgent account and navigate to settings.
Only users with a permission level of 8 will be able to see the HMRC Connection section. If you're an accountant with a Practice Dashboard, have a look at these articles How to set up your practice for MTD and How to sign up your clients up for MTD.
You'll be redirected to the HMRC site to complete the connection process, select 'continue' and fill in your Government Gateway credentials.
You can continue to file your VAT returns as normal.
You haven't completed sign up to Making Tax Digital. Please try logging in to your HMRC business tax account and checking that you can access Making Tax Digital services, or if you haven't signed up for them yet, complete sign up to MTD.
You've entered your VAT number incorrectly. Double check that the VAT number in your FreeAgent account matches the VAT number in your HMRC business tax account.
If the VAT numbers in your FreeAgent account and HMRC business tax account do match, please try again using the same credentials you used to sign in to your business tax account.

The morning is coldest just after sunrise, so bundle up extra tight between Dawn Patrol and Mass Ascension and prepare for a spectacle of color, light and sound. The 36th annual Great Reno Balloon Race starts Friday through Sunday at Rancho San Rafael Regional Park.
The Reno tradition transcends generations and is a favorite for families and a wonder for newcomers. The Reno skies fill with more than 100 tear-drop shaped bags of hot air, a giant Wells Fargo stagecoach and other strange shapes.
Tiny baskets hang from the hot air balloons by thin kevlar ropes, while expert pilots navigate air currents, temperatures and terrain.
More than 125,000 people watch from below. The park will fill with pajamas, blankets, families, lawn chairs, funnel cake and coffee. Watch your step though, you could run into someone famous or trip on your own shoelaces.
Arrive before the sun peeks over the mountains to see the daily Glow Show illuminating the park with a warm, overhead light. Then sit back and watch all the other envelopes unfold.
The forecast for the weekend shows lows in the low-50s and highs in the mid-80s with little to no cloud cover.
Wear layered clothing. Dawn is the coldest part of the day, but as the sun rises, so does the temperature. Many people bring blankets for big groups, beanies, long-sleeve shirts and sweatshirts. Others wear pajamas and Uggs.
Bring folding chairs and blankets to sit on. Small wheelbarrows are a good option to carry children and items. No seating is provided outside of VIP areas.
There will be an array of food and beverage vendors at the event — serving anything from pancakes to bagels, muffins to French toast and coffee to hot chocolate. Even morning cocktails can be purchased.
Organizers also encourage bringing your own food, but limit large coolers if possible. Bring cash.
Bring a flashlight or headlamp. The park is lit as much as possible but a flashlight is handy if you plan to walk closer to the balloons which is further away from the vendors.
The light is darkest before the dawn and the park is full of drainage ditches and other tripping hazards. It will appear pitch black at times, then your eyes will suddenly adjust to the burst of flames from a balloon and go dark again.
Smoking is prohibited because of the large amounts of highly-flammable propane in use.
Organizers ask people to leave pets at home as the chaotic foot traffic can become dangerous. Pets are also prohibited from the park during the event and organizers will ask people to leave if they bring pets.
While cameras and video recorders are permitted, drones are not allowed due to FAA safety regulations. No laser pointers either as it can distract pilots.
Photographers with access to telephoto lenses should bring them as the balloons rise quickly out of sight.
We also recommend dust masks and allergy pills for anyone with sensitive sinuses.
Gates open at 3:30 a.m. Friday through Sunday.
Plan your parking options in advance and arrive early. Long parking lines and chaotic parking can cause delays.
For $10, you can park at the Sierra Street and McCarran Boulevard lot or the Coleman Drive lot starting at 3:30 a.m.
University of Nevada, Reno offers the north parking lot to the public for free before 10 a.m.
RTC will also run express rides every 30 minutes from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m. Saturday and Sunday from Reed High School, the Reno-Sparks Convention Center parking lot C and the Fourth Street bus station in downtown. Parking is free from the high school and convention center. Rides cost $2 one way or $1 for children and seniors.
Parking vehicles and RVs on McCarran Boulevard is banned due to safety concerns.
Cent'r Stage, sponsored by Wells Fargo Courtesy of the Great Reno Balloon Race/Chris Holloman.
On Friday only, a Super Glow Show features more than 40 hot air balloons glowing and twinkly to music across the field. The regular Glow Show on Saturday and Sunday only includes eight balloons.
Dawn Patrol features a handful of balloons qualified to fly in the dark. Balloons glow, twinkle and fly with choreographed music at 5:15 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
For pajamas wearing spectators, the Biggest Little Pajama Party and Bed Head Contest is back on Saturday. A Star Wars themed pajama contest winner will get to ride the Darth Vader balloon on Sunday.
The winner will also receive 25 tickets to "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" at Sparks IMAX Luxury+ Galaxy Theatres. Judging starts at 7 a.m. with the finals at 7:30 a.m. Saturday.
The RE/MAX balloon will provide tethered rides for children. These are the only rides available to the general public during the event. The cost is a $5 donation to the Children's Miracle Network.
How do balloons race? Very slowly.
After Mass Ascension, a smaller group of pilots begin the competition portion of the race to compete for an $11,000 prize purse.
Starting at 6:45 a.m., each day of the event, 90 balloons will launch from Rancho San Rafael Park to signify the start of the race.
It does not necessarily pay to be first off the ground. Other pilots use visual cues from balloons at different altitudes to decide what they should do.
Air has layers with different temperatures that move in different directions. A balloon up high may float north while a lower balloon floats east. A hot balloon in a cool current will rise faster than one in a warmer current.
Overheating a balloon with too much fire can damage it or force it to rise too fast. Letting the air cool down too much will also cause it to sink to the ground.
A pilot can watch other balloons to decide which air current to follow in order to move from one location to another.
Pilots in the race must float from one X on the ground to another X on the ground.
They then drop beanbags onto the X and accumulate points for their proximity to the center of the X. Their total points from Friday, Saturday and Sunday decide the winner.
Weather and skill play a huge role in who wins.
All pilots must fly balloons for at least 100 hours in order to compete. Dawn Patrol and Glow Show pilots must fly for significantly more hours in order to show off their skill in these choreographed events each morning.

China sees parallel between Ukraine, Taiwan
On the evening of 18 March, President Xi Jinping (R) had a video call with US President Joe Biden at the request of the latter.
The Chinese stance on developments around Ukraine was initially one-dimensional, namely, there is no conceivable comparison between Ukraine and Taiwan issues, as they are fundamentally different, because Taiwan is a part of China, whereas Ukraine is an independent country. Factually, that was a correct stance.
However, there has been a shift lately toward acknowledging that the Eurasian tensions hold an analogy for Indo-Pacific region. The Chinese commentaries underline that the relentless expansion of the NATO in the post-Cold War era is the root cause of events unfolding over Ukraine. In the video call with President Biden in the weekend, President Xi Jinping implicitly touched on this aspect:
"The US and NATO should also have dialogue with Russia to address the crux of the Ukraine crisis and ease the security concerns of both Russia and Ukraine… As two Chinese sayings go, 'It takes two hands to clap.' 'He who tied the bell to the tiger must take it off.' It is imperative that the parties involved demonstrate political will and find a proper settlement in view of both immediate and long-term needs… An enduring solution would be for major countries to respect each other, reject the Cold War mentality, refrain from bloc confrontation, and build step by step a balanced, effective and sustainable security architecture for the region and for the world…"
In the spate of Chinese commentaries on Ukraine conflict, one report that catches attention for its incisiveness and insights is an interview in the Global Times entitled Russia-Ukraine conflict can be regarded as a 'preview' of US' possible acts in Asia: Zheng Yongnian – NATO's phantom.
Zheng Yongnian is best known as an international authority on Chinese politics, political economy and the CCP. He opined categorically that NATO's expansion will not stop and it will likely expand to Asia.
In his view, the US is already putting in place "the prototype of an "Asian NATO" — referring to AUKUS, Quad, Five Eyes, Indo-Pacific Strategy, US moves vis-a-vis Vietnam and Singapore. Second, he said China should anticipate a Ukraine-style crisis taking place in "many countries and regions" in Asia and "the expansion of NATO will only stop when another bloc can compete with it and form a check and balance."
Third, while China's economic openness and interdependence are its strong points, that may not prevent a war but can probably slow it down. He said bluntly: "Once fierce conflicts happen between China and the US, will the US kick China out of the SWIFT system as it did with Russia? My opinion is: 100 percent YES." That said, China's economy, deeply embedded in the West, can make the West feel real pain.
However, Zheng Yongnian also pointed out that it is not all black and white, either. One the one hand, while China and Europe have common interests and no geopolitical disputes, on the other hand, Europe's current solidarity with the US is very fragile, as European interests are at risk in a longer term perspective and the EU itself is "at a particularly vulnerable moment."
Besides, a remilitarised Germany will cause uneasiness in the continent, especially for France, with geopolitical implications. Also, the spectre of nuclear proliferation haunts Europe now. It is no longer possible to rule out conflicts happening again within the Western civilisation.
Interestingly, Zheng Yongnian also flagged that the geopolitical landscape of Asia may radically change if Japan, on the footfalls of Germany, also opts for remilitarisation. "This will impact on the entire East Asia, he warned."
The analysis is very profound and there is very little to add to it. China is wary that Washington is moving in the direction of creating a "Ukraine-like" strategic dilemma for Beijing apropos Taiwan. To be sure, China has been provoked by the abrasive remarks recently by Gen. Kenneth Wilsbach, commander of Pacific Air Forces, on the "key lessons" Beijing should draw out of the Ukraine conflict.
The general listed them as the "solidarity of the global community" in opposing "an unprovoked attack on a neighbour" and "the onerous sanctions that have economically crippled Moscow". Wilsbach threatened that if China behaves in the Russian way, "something more robust will happen."
In addition, he warned, China should also consider the opposition of regional countries, apart from the ravages of the war in human lives and treasure. It could not have been lost on Beijing that Wilsbach shot straight from the hip just before Biden's phone call to Xi Jinping.
Against this backdrop, the speech by Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng on Saturday at the Tsinghua University on the implication of the Ukraine developments for the Asia-Pacific region merits careful attention.
These are the first authoritative remarks by a top Chinese official acknowledging that "the Ukraine crisis provides a mirror for us to observe the situation in the Asia-Pacific. We cannot but ask, how can we prevent a crisis like this from happening in the Asia-Pacific?" They have followed immediately after the 2-hour long phone conversation between President Xi Jinping and President Biden.
Le Yucheng took note that the Asia-Pacific is in "promising situation" today — an anchor of peace and stability, an engine for growth and a "pace-setter" for development. The region faces two choices between building "an open and inclusive family for win-win cooperation or go for small blocs based on the Cold War mentality and group confrontation."
Le Yucheng explained this binary choice as between: "peace and not undermining regional tranquility; so-called absolute security and common security; mutual respect and wanton interference in others' internal affairs; and, unity and cooperation versus division and confrontation. Without doubt, he was sounding alert about the Us' so-called Indo-Pacific strategy.
Le Yucheng underscored that the India-Pacific strategy characterised by acts of provocation, formation of "closed and exclusive small circles or groups", and fragmentation and bloc-based division can only lead to a situation "as dangerous as the NATO strategy of eastward expansion in Europe… (which) would bring unimaginable consequences, and ultimately push the Asia-Pacific over the edge of an abyss." He underscored the criticality of the regional states pursuing "independent, balanced and prudent foreign policies" that dovetail with the process of regional integration.
The parallels between the situations around Ukraine and Taiwan respectively, are being discussed explicitly in the Chinese commentaries and articulation — while the US "squeezed Russia's strategic space" through NATO expansion and simultaneously incited Kiev to confront Russia, when it comes to Taiwan too, Washington is instigating the secessionist forces in the island upgrading arms sales to provoke Beijing.
Of course, the US has refrained from direct intervention in Ukraine, as Russia is not only a military power but also a nuclear power. The big question is whether China will arrive at a conclusion that its best opportunity "to solve its internal Taiwan question" lies in confronting the US at the present juncture when "the US is short of confidence and needs to bluster to embolden itself" and when the NATO's hands are full in Eurasia and it is unlikely that the US' allies in the Asia-Pacific will want to intervene in Taiwan.

You may think one deal looks like the best, but it may put a large dent in your budget if you don't compare it to another plan that has the same text, talk, and data limits. When you find a cell phone plan that you believe will work the most it is very important to compare it next to other plans to ensure it is the best one. You can do this here at PhoneDog. We offer a comparison tool that will allow you to check out various plans next to one another at one simple website. We can help you save the time you would have spent researching various plans on your own, which will then allow you to save money.
The last thing a consumer in Itasca, IL wants is a cell phone carrier that has poor coverage in that area. It will lead to low-quality calls and more calls dropping, both of which are frustrating occurrences. One carrier may have the lowest rate on the market, by far, but that means little if there's no coverage where the consumer lives. The good news is that the national carriers have excellent coverage in almost every city across the nation, which means consumers can expect reliable service. It's still important to look at the coverage maps of each carrier to verify that a city has sufficient coverage.
The citizens of Itasca, IL, and everywhere else, look for similar things in a cell phone provider. You will want the maximum amount of minutes, adequate amount of text messages, and a data plan designed for your information gathering needs. Our services display this information for you all at once, letting you compare the rates of different providers, giving you everything you need to custom tailor a plan that will save you the most money. When choosing a plan, you need to consider data limits, available minutes, and the text message rates or quotas.
Most people depend heavily in Itasca, IL on their cell phone throughout the day, so it's important to get the right coverage plan. If you frequently text, are constantly on the phone, or like to look up information without a wireless connection, you should take these factors into account when choosing a provider.
On the other hand, if you have a family in Itasca, IL, you can often save money by grouping your costs together into a single package. While the monthly payments are often higher, the shared costs leads to reduced payments. This lets you have a cell phone plan that fits each member of your family. Such plans are usually the best deal if you are looking to pay for two or more people's phone bills. This lets you share minutes, texts, and data usage, and should be planned in order to fit everyone in the family's needs. If you have kids, you should take into account that they are more likely to text and use data on their phones, meaning that if you don't set the data and text limits high enough, they could quickly run up your bill before you realize it. For this reason, it's a good idea to have a large blanket of coverage, preventing you or your family from accidentally going over, as these data charges are typically far from cheap. Make sure that you anticipate your possible usage, or you could be committed to a non-optimal data plan for the foreseeable future.
Contract plans typically make you commit to two years, although some only run for a single year. Payments are usually made on a monthly basis, and you will not be able to break you contracted without an expensive fine, usually in proportion to the remaining time left on the contract. Breaking a cell phone contract can often be expensive, which is why you should always try to make sure that you get the best plan available in Itasca, IL.
To get the best plan for you in Itasca, IL, you should first understand the criteria. Talk refers to the amount of minutes you can talk without incurring a surplus charge for extra minutes. Here, you can often receive unlimited options, which might be useful if you talk on the phone frequently. Text refers to the rate for sending text messages, sometimes including a set amount of text messages that are covered under your plan. If you are in the dating world or have children in their teens or tweens, you will want to invest in a significant text message plan, otherwise you will end up with an unbelievable bill at the end of every month. Data refers to things like internet access on your phone. If you have a smartphone, you will need data for checking your email, listening to music, watching videos, and anything else that you might do without a wireless internet connection nearby.
What about data usage? Data usage is important to many mobile customers today, and most Itasca, IL cell phone carriers charge extra for heavy data usage. An unlimited data plan works well for your modern email, research, fact checking, and googling needs. Some companies hit you with high data charges if you use too much data, so make sure that you carefully consider your data usage.
If you are in the Itasca, IL area, you will find a number of different carriers, each with the ability to cover your local calls. There are individual, family, contract, and no-contract plans available, so choose wisely. In Itasca, IL, you'll find AT&T, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, and Sprint. In almost every case, one of these companies will be able to cover your calls. If you go through a smaller company, in most cases one of the larger companies will integrate them into their coverage network.
Verizon makes you choose between individual and family plans, but also requires you to pick between a contract and no contract agreement. Verizon is a very popular carrier in Itasca, IL. When you sign your contract with Verizon, you commit to a prepaid plan, unlimited plan, or shared plan. If you break your contract before it runs out, you will be charged a hefty fine. Both single individuals and families will be placed within the limited or unlimited plan.
If you look at the comparison tool above, you'll find these and a plethora of other providers that offer cell phone service to Itasca, IL.

You were just a little thing. I work in the Annual Fund office at Duke. Pam Jones told me about Jeff Finch's does a lot of work for our office. When I read his obituary — I realized he was your husband. I can only imagine how you must feel, He was far too young to go — these are those times we really question God — and that's o.k. Just know you and your entire family are being thought about and prayed for today.

Bruin Bites: Another Year for Hundley, Tracking MJD Trade Scenarios, and Marsh Apparently Punished
It's Monday morning and our Bruins are gearing up for arguably the toughest opponent they'll face all year, the #2-ranked Oregon Ducks this Saturday. It'll be the third ranked opponent for the Bruins this year, and our Bruins will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing loss in Palo Alto, but likewise, the Ducks will have a point to prove after being passed by Florida State in the initial BCS standings. With the work week getting started, we take a look at the various bits and pieces of news from around the football-related UCLA-iverse.

Ezra Shaw
Well, that sucked, am I right?
Stanford looked as vulnerable as they have since Harbaugh came to Palo Alto and built them into an imposing smash-mouth, physical football team, and we failed to capitalize. With a golden opportunity to win a huge road game over a top-15 opponent, the same opponent that denied us the conference title last year in a 3-point loss in the same venue, the Bruins laid an egg. The offense was uninspired and stagnant, the coaching staff looked confused at best, and it was just an all-around poor effort by UCLA this Saturday. Fortunately, David Shaw looked as conservative as Mora and Company, which really kept UCLA in this game. Don't expect the same mistake next week from the Ducks, who will come out firing and look to score fast and score often.
But, the one good thing is that UCLA can still bounce back and win the conference and go to the Rose Bowl, but if Saturday's performance is any indicator, there should be major alarm bells when it comes to beating Arizona State (which looked pretty impressive in beating Washington). There's enough talent for us to steam-roll Colorado and we're definitely better than Arizona, so there's two more division wins we should have in hand. That leaves the Sun Devils and the Trojans as the two major obstacles for UCLA returning to Palo Alto or Eugene again for the third Pac-12 championship game. Both are games we should win, but that won't happen if the Bruins don't right the ship quickly. So, with that said, let's take a look at the various bits and pieces of news from around the UCLA-iverse this Monday morning:
Starting with Saturday's deflating loss to the Stanford Cardinal, Stewart Mandel at Sports Illustrated has a pretty good recap of the game, taking note of the Stanford players being fired up to produce a win after their disappointing loss in Salt Lake City the week prior. The question then becomes, will our Bruins react the same way, and come out on fire against the Ducks? Or will they simply roll over in Autzen?
Speaking of the Ducks, the Bruins picked the worst time to head to Eugene, with Oregon getting all-around super-playmaker De'Anthony Thomas back in time to face us this upcoming Saturday. Out for the past three weeks, it would have been a huge boost to the Bruins if the Black Mamba had missed out just one more game. But, he'll be back just in time for the Bruins' nationally televised fight against the Ducks. Let's hope the offense can figure out how to keep scoring because this game looks to be a full-on shootout.
Turning back to the Stanford game, the more astute observers noted that starting senior DE Cassius Marsh was nowhere to be seen during the first quarter, and played only sparingly throughout, with Ellis McCarthy and Eddie Vanderdoes seeing more action than normal. Per the Los Angeles Times, after the game when Mora was asked if Marsh was being disciplined, Mora declined to confirm or deny, saying the issue "should stay in-house."
Finally, if it wasn't clear in the wins over Berkeley and Utah, it should be now: Brett Hundley is not a NFL-ready QB. Oh sure, the talking heads on WWL will keep him high in their projections (don't forget that lead-moron Mel Kiper Jr. projected JaMarcus Russell as a top draft pick, comparing him to John Elway), but the smart observers are seeing that Hundley's mechanics and decision-making are simply not NFL-ready yet. Dan Greenspan, writing for NFL.com, recapped Hundley's performance this weekend and concluded (correctly) that Brett had all the tools to be a franchise NFL QB, but needs another season in college to develop and polish his game.
Speaking of the NFL, some of our favorite Bruins didn't fare too well this week in the professional ranks. Johnathan Franklin still finds himself seeing little action in Green Bay following his fumbling problems and the return of starter Eddie Lacy, getting only 6 yards on 2 carries against Cleveland this week.
Jet Ski's best-known UCLA running back predecessor didn't fare too well this week either, with Maurice Jones-Drew only picking up 37 yards on 9 carries and 19 yards on 2 receptions, with no scores to speak of in the woeful Jaguars loss to the Chargers. How bad are the Jags? When you make Ryan Matthews look like an outstanding running back, your team flat-out sucks.
And speaking of MJD, Sports Illustrated's Chris Burke and Doug Farrar discussed three NFL trades that really should happen before the trade deadline closes, with one of the obvious ones being MJD finally escaping the disaster that is the Jaguars. The two SI writers think a trade to Miami in exchange for a future draft pick makes sense for everyone involved, given Jones-Drew's age, remaining contract, and the fact that Jacksonville is a long way from being a contender.
Alright folks, those are your bits and pieces of news from around the football-related UCLA-iverse. Fire away with your comments, additions, thoughts, etc. in the thread as we kick off yet another work week.
