Owning a land is the oldest indication of wealth. When the financial transform began in 2008, true estate attracted a lot of wealthy investors. Even right now, acquiring, developing, and at some point selling a property is a certain way to obtain wealth. For instance, if you get a loan of about $200,000 and add your own $50,000 to purchase a home that costs $250,000, then eventually sell it for $400,000, you can double your income very easily.

Origin of World Contact Day | Edinburg Out of This World!
In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Alfred K. Bender of Bridgeport, Connecticut, became fascinated by the ever-growing number of "UFO" sightings throughout the United States and the world. Bender, who worked as a supervisor at Acme Shear in Bridgeport (now called the Acme United Corporation), a company that made scissors, shears, and other devices for cutting, began collecting newspaper and magazine clippings about UFO sightings.
Obsessed with solving the mystery of the UFOs, Bender became convinced that members of his group should "attempt to send out a telepathic message to visitors from space." March 15, 1953 was chosen as "Contact Day." Bender sent out a special bulletin, containing a message to be memorized and an appeal to have all members focusing their minds on the message at the exact same moment, at 6 p.m. on March 15.
When he snapped out of his "contact," Bender found a yellow mist hovering in his room, and he saw out of a corner of his vision what seemed to be the shadow of a humanoid. He also noticed that the radio in his bedroom had turned on by itself and that there was a strange odor in his room. Bender later claimed that in this, and other "contacts," the whole mystery of the flying saucers was revealed to him.

Second France car attack on pedestrians in as many days injures 10
Dec. 22, 2014: A police officer guards the van that crashed into a French Christmas market in Nantes. French authorities urged calm after a series of attacks across the country left dozens of people injured, and said there was no evidence the attacks were connected by any terrorist motive. (AP Photo/Laetitia Notarianni)
French officials urged calm late Monday after a second attack involving a car hitting pedestrians in as many days injured 10 people in the western town of Nantes.
Authorities said a driver crashed his van into a crowded Christmas market before stabbing himself several times. He is among five people hospitalized in serious condition. Local prosecutor Brigitte Lamy said the incident was an isolated incident and "not a terrorist act", though police investigations were continuing late Monday.
Lamy said the driver was a 37-year-old man born in the western French city of Saintes, about 150 miles south of Nantes. Images on French television showed a white Peugeot van in the market at the city's main square, surrounded by police and rescue workers.
In Nantes, bystanders ran toward the attacker as he was stabbing himself, said Mohammed Bader Ghegate, one of the witnesses who ended up at the man's side. Contrary to media reports, Ghegate said the attacker did not say `God is great' in Arabic.
"I said that to myself: `Allahu Akbar, help us so there is no bloodshed,"' Ghegate told The Associated Press.
On Tuesday, the Christmas market was shuttered, and vendors milling around wore white armbands in solidarity.
The Nantes attack came one day after another driver ran down 13 bystanders in the eastern city of Dijon, and two days after Bertrand Nzohabonayo, a 20-year-old recent convert to Islam, knifed two police officers outside the city of Tours before being killed by police.
In a signal of how serious the government was taking the attacks, Prime Minister Manuel Valls issued a statement late Monday calling for calm and vigilance.
The series of attacks, he said, "concerns us all."
Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve headed to Nantes Monday evening after spending the day in Dijon.
Prosecutor Marie-Christine Tarrare said the driver behind Sunday's attack in that city has a long history of severe mental illness and no links to terrorism. She added that the 40-year-old was taken into custody and has admitted his role in the attack. Tarrare described the man as a French-born son of North African immigrants, acted alone and had no religious motivations, but was upset at the treatment of Chechen children.
He shouted 'God is great' to give himself courage to act, and not out of religious belief, Tarrare said.
Prosecutors said the attacker in Dijon had been hospitalized 157 times.
Also Monday, intelligence services in the African nation of Burundi said police had arrested Nzohabonayo's 19-year-old brother, Brice. Burundi intelligence spokesman Telesphore Bigirimana told the Associated Press that they had been tipped off about the brothers' movements since 2013. He said the two moved between France and Burundi and there were concerns about how radical they had become after converting to Islam.
Burundi has been on alert over possible attacks by Somali militant group al-Shabab over the presence of Burundian troops in the African Union Mission in Somalia.

Vanillylmandelic and Homovanillic acid: Electroanalysis at non-modified and polymer-modified carbon-based electrodes
Simona Baluchová, Jiří Barek, Luciana I.N. Tomé, Christopher M.A. Brett, Karolina Schwarzová-Pecková
The electrochemical behaviour of two main catecholamine metabolites serving as diagnostic tumour biomarkers, homovanillic acid (HVA) and vanillylmandelic acid (VMA), on anodically oxidized boron doped diamond (BDD) electrodes, non-modified glassy carbon electrodes (GCE), and GCE modified by polymers, namely by Nafion (Nafion/GCE) and by poly(neutral red) (PNR/GCE), was investigated. The voltammetric responses of both biomarkers are strongly dependent on pH of the aqueous buffer solution and electrode material used. BDD electrodes exhibit more positive oxidation potentials and lower current densities for oxidation of both analytes, depending also on the surface termination. Concentration dependences were measured in 0.1 mol L−1 phosphate buffer pH 3.0, as optimal supporting electrolyte for differential pulse voltammetric determination. Achieved detection limits were 0.6, 0.9, 0.8, and 1.2 μmol L−1 for HVA and 0.4, 1.5, 2.4, and 1.1 μmol L−1 for VMA at BDD electrodes, non-modified GCE, Nafion/GCE, and PNR/GCE, respectively. The limits of quantification for both organic compounds on all tested electrode materials are sufficiently low for their determination in urine. Verification of the possibility of simultaneous voltammetric determination of the studied biomarkers in the mixture was also carried out.

Because no one will ever have a pet as awesome as Dylan (trust me, he'd make a cat lover out of anyone) and because my heart is broken right now, I wanted to share my favorite things about that little oddball.
1. He had extremely bizarre taste in food. He hated fish. He loved anything with curry or buffalo sauce. He loved cheeseburgers and yogurt. (Only the raspberry flavor) He once got an ice cream headache from eating a vanilla pudding pop too fast. He also really liked lentils.
2. He was very...human like. Most of the time when people met him they would say things like "He seems like a reincarnated human" or "Why is he winking at me?" Sometimes he liked to wear ties.
3. I am a singer, which means practicing at home. Dylan hated it. UNLESS I sang two songs: "Walking on Sunshine" or "Over the Rainbow". He also hated it if you played Beyonce.
4. He "fainted" if you put anything around his middle. Not tightly, just loosely tied a ribbon and he'd flop right over. The only toys he liked included cat nip. And if you laughed when he played, he'd get embarrassed and stop.
5. He was extremely cuddly. He usually wanted to lay as close to my face as possible, but he'd eventually settle for sleeping on my lap or by my side. He would pretty much sit on anyone's lap, much to their surprise.
6. He would drink out of anything but his water bowl, (The bathtub was his favorite) and he put things he liked in his food bowl. (Hair ties were the top) He was the greatest cat that ever lived and I will miss him every day.


For anyone that's been on the Yo-Yo, you know what my title is about. It's the emotional and physical pain of working incredibly hard to achieve success and then letting it all go and ending up right back where you started (or sometimes higher than your starting point). I'm tired of the yo-yo. I'm not going to ride it anymore. I'm just going to ride the slide. One steady downward motion til I reach the bottom.
The point is, I need to learn from the pain of the ups and downs and focus on real sustainable changes. That's where I'm heading at this point.
I'm going to try to make blogging a regular part of this as I know it will help me by being more accountable to myself and others.
Climbing back into the saddle here too! And OOF, yes it ain't pretty!
But paradoxically, one thing my holiday backslide taught me? I was in pretty darned good shape beforehand! Cuz after a few weeks of letting myself go I found that I just couldn't come CLOSE to doing what I could before! My first Spinning class felt like I was in QUICKSAND!
So, knowing that I did it before helps me to reclaim that territory and YES, I'm already noticing big improvements!
Kudos to keepin' 'er SPARKIN'!
Make small changes and make them permanent. You will succeed.
Great title! "Been there done that" really doesn't cover it. Looking forward to your future posts. Hang in there - we're pulling for you.
Looking forward to your blogs and your progress.
I know exactly what you mean. It doesn't make any sense to put all the effort into losing 30 pounds, only to find it again by the end of the year. I feel like an epic failure.
I'm brushing the dust off my Spark Page and getting started, again. I'm on that slide with you. It's a down hill ride from here on out. We can make it happen. Let's make this year lucky 13.

Radio Times Guide To Films 2015
The Radio Times Guide To Films 2015, edited by Sue Robinson, will soon become the last remaining comprehensive annual film guide. Printed reference books such as this are an endangered species, as publishers react to the migration of information online. (Several dictionary and encyclopedia publishers have already announced that they will no longer be releasing printed versions of their flagship titles.)
Halliwell's Film Guide, for many years the standard UK film guide, died an undignified death with its The Movies That Matter edition in 2008. Its rivals, including the Virgin Film Guide (which featured longer reviews) and Elliot's Guide To Films On Video, were much more short-lived. The Time Out Film Guide (more opinionated and less mainstream) was cancelled in 2012. In America, Leonard Maltin's annual guide was split into separate Classic and Modern editions, and will no longer be printed at all after this year. VideoHound's Golden Movie Retriever is still published annually, though it cuts more entries each year and is limited to films released on video.
Radio Times film reviews are all available online for free (as are Time Out's), so it's surprising that their annual Film Guide remains a viable proposition. The cover illustration - the poster for Jaws - perhaps indicates (like the Fistful Of Dollars cover from last year) that the book is aimed at an older demographic which has not yet switched over to online sources such as the IMDb.
There are precisely 23,099 entries in the new edition, including 547 new films; last year's edition contained 23,068 entries, thus there have been almost as many deletions as additions. In a spurious attempt to appear as up-to-date as possible, the Film Guide includes previews of forthcoming films, which are then rewritten as reviews in the following year's edition. This year, there are eighty-seven previews, which presumably will be converted into reviews for the 2016 edition.
The new reviews this year include Noah ("an impressive spectacle"), The Hobbit II ("dramatic tension comes in fits and starts"), and The Wind Rises ("older viewers and fans will be enchanted by this modest entry in Miyazaki's canon"). Martin Scorsese's The Wolf Of Wall Street receives a five-star review ("an exhilarating story of decadence and debauchery", as does Gravity ("breathtaking").
The Radio Times Film Guide had a little-known predecessor: the Radio Times Film & Video Guide, written by Derek Winnert and published in 1993 and 1994. It was pulped, and Winnert was dismissed as Radio Times film editor, after a plagiarism lawsuit from the publishers of Halliwell's.

12th World Film Festival of Bangkok
The 12th World Film Festival of Bangkok opens next month. One of this year's highlights will be Fritz Lang's masterpiece Metropolis, restored with almost thirty minutes of additional footage from a 16mm Brazilian print, screening on 23rd and 25th October. (Metropolis was previously shown at the inaugural World Film Festival in 2003.) This year's Festival also includes Pierrot Le Fou, one of Jean-Luc Godard's early French New Wave films, showing on 21st and 26th October (previously screened as part of The Godard Week in 2010).
The Festival begins on 17th October, and runs until 26th October. Like the 11th Festival, it will be held at the SF World cinema, CentralWorld. (The 6th, 7th, and 8th Festivals were held at Paragon Cineplex; the 5th, 9th, and 10th took place at Esplanade Cineplex.) The Festival is organised by Kriengsak Silakong, who I interviewed for Encounter Thailand.

Once Upon A Celluloid Planet
Once Upon A Celluloid Planet: Where Cinema Ruled - Hearts and Houses of Films in Thailand is a unique photographic guide to Thailand's stand-alone cinemas, movie palaces from the pre-multiplex era. Sonthaya Subyen and Morimart Raden-Ahmad have photographed more than sixty cinemas, documenting their marquees, box offices, auditoriums, and projection booths. Many of these once-luxurious movie theatres are now derelict (such as Siam Theatre, destroyed by arsonists in 2010), though the splendid Scala cinema remains in business.
The book also includes nostalgic essays by writers and directors, such as Apichatpong Weerasethakul, who ends his piece with this comparison: "Tens of thousands of years ago, when our ancestors were living in caves, they often drew on the walls of the cave, showing us how they lived their lives. It seems to be an unknown force in our blood. Looking at it like this, you could say that cinemas, whether inside or outside department stores, are our modern day caves."
There are also chapters devoted to unusual forms of film promotion, from glass slides to painted mud flaps. The 500-page book - a valuable record of social history, film culture, and architecture - is part of the Filmvirus series, which also includes a monograph on Apichatpong, Unknown Forces. (A Century Of Thai Cinema, by Dome Sukwong, also features a few pages of vintage cinema photographs.)

Turning Point 1997-2008
Hayao Miyazaki's autobiographical Turning Point 1997-2008 is a collection of articles and interviews related to his films Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, and Ponyo. It's a translation of the Japanese 折り返し点 1997-2008, and a sequel to Miyazaki's first anthology, Starting Point 1979-1996. Miyazaki himself was surprisingly reluctant to publish it: "A book that has collected the likes of talks I have given here and there, or what I was obliged to say, or what I wrote because I was asked to write something seems to me to reveal evidence of my shame. So, frankly, I'm not too happy about it."
The book provides useful access to material previously available only in Japan. Fortunately, the chapters on Princess Mononoke (Miyazaki's first international success) and Spirited Away (his masterpiece) are the most extensive, with in-depth interviews and production notes. The Howl's Moving Castle chapter, however, has only a tangential connection to the film, and the final chapter includes only two short articles on Ponyo. It's odd that Turning Point was published some six years after the Japanese edition, and that it contains no new material on Ponyo or Miyazaki's final film, The Wind Rises. (One of the book's translators, Frederik L Schodt, wrote Manga! Manga!: The World Of Japanese Comics.)
A textbook has been withdrawn from colleges in Thailand after a student pointed out that one of its photographs was taken from a Japanese porn website. The book, Basic Mathematics, features a cover photo of Mana Aoki posing as a teacher. The image was taken from a publicity still for the 'adult' film Costume Play Working Girl, available on the Member 247 website.
The photo was edited for the textbook cover: the Japanese text on Aoki's binder was replaced with the word "Mathematics", and the original classroom background was replaced with mathematical charts. The Vocational Education Commission, which distributed 3,000 copies of the book, admitted that the cover illustrations were randomly chosen from an internet image search, with an apparent disregard for copyright and suitability.
There have been previous textbook controversies in other countries, related to religious imagery rather than porn stars. A French textbook was censored in 2009, as it included a medieval illustration of Mohammed. There were protests in India in 2011, after a cartoon featuring Mohammed was included in a school textbook.

The Making Of Gone With The Wind
Gone With The Wind, "the quintessential film of Hollywood's Golden Age", had three directors (Victor Fleming, George Cukor, and Sam Wood, with only Fleming receiving credit), though producer David O Selznick was the film's main auteur. The Making Of Gone With The Wind, by Steve Wilson, contains more than 600 items from the Selznick archive at the Harry Ransom Center in Texas, to accompany an exhibition which opened yesterday at the University of Texas.
The book includes correspondence from Selznick (with transcriptions of each document in a fifty-page appendix), concept artwork (including stunning drawings by production designer William Cameron Menzies), and on-set photographs. The material is presented chronologically, and the large (often full-page) photos are reproduced with surprising clarity considering they're seventy-five years old.
Selznick sought to adapt novels as faithfully as possible, a process he called 'pictorialization'; this literary approach, and his endless memos, led to creative tensions with his directors. (Thomas Schatz's book The Genius Of The System and the documentary Hitchcock, Selznick, & The End Of Hollywood discuss this further.) Alfred Hitchcock made Rebecca, Spellbound, The Paradine Case, and Notorious while under contract to Selznick; the villain of Rear Window resembles Selznick, and in North By Northwest, Roger O Thornhill's middle initial stands for "Nothing" in a reference to Selznick's similar affectation.
David Thomson (author of Moments That Made The Movies, The Big Screen, Have You Seen...?, The Moment Of Psycho, and A Biographical Dictionary Of Film) wrote the TV documentary Gone With The Wind: The Making Of A Legend, which was broadcast on the launch night of TNT, 3rd October 1988. The 70th and 75th anniversary Gone With The Wind DVD/blu-ray releases include a slim book featuring Selznick archive material, and reproductions of Selznick's memos.

Photography Will Be
An exhibition at the Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art has been censored by police in Japan. Photography Will Be includes photographs by Ryudai Takano depicting himself and various male models posing nude. The photos were initially exhibited uncensored, despite Japanese obscenity laws prohibiting frontal nudity, though some visitors complained to the police.
On 13th August, instead of removing the twelve photographs (from a series titled おれと), the Museum draped translucent white sheets over them to partially obscure the nudity. Of course, this has also drawn attention to the censorship. The exhibition opened on 1st August, and runs until 28th September.

Kama Sutra is a famous text from ancient India that deals with life in a relationship. The work was written by Mallanga Vatsyana approximately in 200 AD. However, the author himself acknowledges that he has merely compiled the book from other, more ancient sources.
A common misconception relating to this book is that it is focused only on the art of making love. In reality this topic is dealt with only in one out of seven chapters. In fact, only a part of this specific chapter is devoted to the topic that has gained fame to the whole work, the love-making positions. The rest of the chapter deals with love-making at a more general level.
Kama Sutrassa mainitut rakasteluasennot ovat hyödynnettävissä ja sovellettavissa tantrisessa rakastelussa.

Q: Datatable implementation not working at all, Javascript/JQuery Right, this may be something obvious but being new to jquery/javascript it's confusing me. I'm going through tutorials (the code for the bit that isn't working is  jsfiddle.net/wqbd6qeL ). But it's not working for me. Now my html is similar/identical to his to my eyes. I'm pretty sure my problem is how I've attempted to implement his code. The javascript is running, as is the css that highlights. Have I implemented the below correctly? (the var = table bit).
Oh! and the condition (== "Fail") I've tested a few different ways. With not equal etc. But it never highlights anything : (. But the css is definitely being reached.
 <script>

       //listTable
    var lt = $(document).ready(function () {
        $('#listTable').DataTable({
            initComplete: function () {
                var api = this.api();

                api.columns().indexes().flatten().each(function (i) {
                    var column = api.column(i);
                    var select = $('<select><option value=""></option></select>')
                        .appendTo($(column.footer()).empty())
                        .on('change', function () {
                            var val = $.fn.dataTable.util.escapeRegex(
                                $(this).val()
                            );

                            column
                                .search(val ? '^' + val + '$' : '', true, false)
                                .draw();
                        });

                    column.data().unique().sort().each(function (d, j) {
                        select.append('<option value="' + d + '">' + d + '</option>')
                    });
                });
            }
        });
              $('#addbtn').click(addRow);
    });

    //no idea why this is not working??
    var table = $('#listTable').DataTable({
        fnRowCallback: function (nRow, aData, iDisplayIndex, iDisplayIndexFull) {
            if (aData[2] == "Fail") {
                $(nRow).addClass('highlight');
            }
        }
    });

</script>

A: you should put the block under your comment
//no idea why this is not working??

inside the function
var lt = $(document).ready(function () {....}));

In fact you can just copy
fnRowCallback: function (nRow, aData, iDisplayIndex, iDisplayIndexFull) {
    if (aData[2] == "Fail") {
        $(nRow).addClass('highlight');
    }
}

in front of the line
initComplete: function () {

and remove everything below your comment .. dont forget to add a comma after fnRowCallback.
Hope this is what you want.
EDIT:
here is the final result:
 <script>

       //listTable
    var lt = $(document).ready(function () {
        $('#listTable').DataTable({
            fnRowCallback: function (nRow, aData, iDisplayIndex, iDisplayIndexFull) {
                if (aData[2] == "Fail") {
                    $(nRow).addClass('highlight');
                }
            },
            initComplete: function () {
                var api = this.api();

                api.columns().indexes().flatten().each(function (i) {
                    var column = api.column(i);
                    var select = $('<select><option value=""></option></select>')
                        .appendTo($(column.footer()).empty())
                        .on('change', function () {

                            );

G'day everyone - this was brought up in other threads but it was thought that it warranted a new thread of its own.
Citibank seems to be making a special offer on its Gold card: NO ANNUAL FEE for the life that your account remains open - given it's normally $119 per year, this is pretty huge.
Apart from that it's just like any other Citibank Gold Visa/Mastercard - seems to have all the bells and whistles, like Purchase Security and Overseas Travel Insurance and 1:1 QFF points transfer. The only difference (apart from the lack of annual fee ever) is that points have to be transferred in blocks of 10,000 instead of 5,000 but this is minor issues, really.
I can't see anything about points capping on this card either.
If you're looking for a 1:1 card, this is definitely a card to consider. I have just applied for one today - after the Ezybanking Mastercard went under and the ANZ Frequent Flyer Visa seems far too expensive for a rather restrictive points capping scheme, this seems like the best deal around.
Anyone had any experience with this deal?
I applied also .... and also I have tried to look for extra fine fine prints somewhere ..... but I couldn't!!!!! Anyone else see any catches?
Surely this is the best Visa Card with QFF Rewards Program (1:1QFF) ever! Beats Earth Card hands down! ...... Almost sound too good to be true.
Yes I have grabbed it too...have been looking looking looking fora while fora 1;1 card.....and FREE forever. Sweet.
+ All Rewards are subject to the Terms and Conditions of the Citibank Rewards Programme. Cash advances do not earn Reward points. Reward points never expire while the card remains open.
Those terms and conditions specify the details regarding caps.
Which for me is fine. I anticipate my VISA spend will be $40 to 50 K with all else on my AMEX at a higher earn rate.
However I should ask....is therea monthly cap, or is it just annual?
Is there a fee for supplementry cards with citibank gold.
From other strings I assume that the Gold Points cap is 60,000 points per year.?????
The terms and conditions state they MAY cap, but I'm on a silver card, and I'm way over the point cap limit for platinum card, yet I'm still getting all my points.
So it doesn't seem anyone is enforcing it.
They wil charge you more, but you just need to call them, annoy them, and they will refund the difference.
Now, does anyone know how to transfer from an existing account to this new offer?
Would the $30 fee for the additional card be a once off charge or is it annually.
Supp card fees are usually annually.
Does anyone know if the 18.99% interest rate is the same for cash advances? No I don't intend to use cash advances and have never done so. This is just so that we are all aware of the fine print of this offer.
I made sure to print out a copy of the initial page with the conditions there, and the conditions which clearly mention "no annual fee for life". Although with Citibank's record of changing things, they might one day launch a "one-off fee" or introduce a rewards program fee sometime. Still, I hope that the copies of the conditions when I signed up will be enough to actually get a no annual fee ever card!
Yes - I might send Citibank a letter asking them to confirm that they're not going to try something like a MONTHLY fee.
Are these generally getting approved instantly? Mine didn't.
Thank you for your application. Your Application Reference number is 003xxxxxx. Please keep a record of this number for future reference.
Please note we are still processing your application and will contact you shortly.
I phoned Citibank and was told they were unaware of any fee free offer and because of the "security risk" should apply through them and PAY the $119 yearly fee. However it appears they have confirmed the existance of the offer to another member.
This is most definitely on the citibank website, so it is an official offer from Citibank and it is not fraudulent on the part of e-moneymart. I typed the above link into my browser and found that I could get the offer. I also changed the A at the end of the URL to a B, C and D and found I got the same offer - maybe Citibank are using that to track it from different sources?
Have a look at the link in Post #1 of this thread. That appears to be a Citibank.com.au site for applying on-line for the card. I did not apply, but the application details collection page does appear to be citibank.com.au and not the broker of the link you have posted.
I applied today and received the same message. I also received an email from a citicorp.com address. I'm 99.9% sure this is a legitimate offer.
As for the 'No annual fee-ever' I guess time will tell. Daily fee, weekly fee, monthly fee, bi-annual fee. The alternatives to an annual fee are endless.
Does any body know the link for the Terms and Conditions of the Award program?


LAWTON, OK (TNN) - The Chairman of the Lawton - Fort Sill Chamber of Commerce says he's excited for the future of southwest Oklahoma after recent meetings with our nation's leaders in Washington D.C.
44 business leaders in our community paid for their own trips to meet with congressional leaders.
"We wanted to talk about high tech jobs. We wanted to tell them that Fort Sill is ready to bring in high-tech jobs. That we're postured for that, we wanted to say that face to face. You can email that, you can tweet it, you can do a lot of ways, but it really matters when you do it face to face. We created the opportunity to do it face to face and an opportunity to meet with those at the Pentagon," said Chairman of the Lawton-Fort Sill Chamber of Commerce Albert Johnson Jr.
Johnson said he has one big takeaway from the trip.
"That they're listening, that they understand we're ready and they're ready to do that for us. We're looking forward for the budget to be approved and for those opportunities. Lawton Fort Sill has the number one priority for the Secretary of the Army. Long range precision fires is the number one priority and that's at Lawton - Fort Sill. The number five priority for the Chief of Staff of the Army is also at Lawton Fort Sill and that's air and missile defense so we're extremely excited for the opportunities that will come to our community," Johnson said.
Johnson says he's thankful for our Oklahoma Congressman for giving our local leaders this opportunity.


Zika virus infection in humans appears to have changed in character while expanding in geographical range. Zika virus has now been clearly established as the cause of severe fetal malformations, particularly microcephaly. The risk of fetal injury appears to be greater when maternal infection occurs in the first trimester of pregnancy. Zika virus has now been established as the cause of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) in adults. Although most cases of Zika virus infection are transmitted as the result of mosquito bites, patients can acquire the infection through sexual contact. Both male-to-female and female-to-male transmission have been documented. Currently, real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR), immunoglobulin M (IgM), and plaque reduction neutralization (PRNT) tests are available to detect Zika infection, although each test has limitations. If a patient has had symptoms of Zika virus infection for less than 5 days, serum and urine should be obtained for rRT-PCR testing. If symptoms have been present for 5 to 14 days, urine should be tested by rRT-PCR because urine samples appear to remain positive for virus longer than serum samples do. Early-stage trials examine whether an experimental vaccine is safe and generates immune responses in vaccinated volunteers. A safe and effective, fully licensed Zika vaccine will likely not be available for several years.
The review provides general background information on Ebola virus disease (EVD) and specifically addresses what is known about EVD in pregnancy and the implications for practicing obstetricians and gynecologists. Limited evidence suggests that pregnant women are at increased risk for severe illness and death when infected with Ebola virus, but there is no evidence to suggest that pregnant women are more susceptible to EVD. It is important that all health care providers are prepared to respond to ensure that Ebola virus transmission is contained. Specifically, U.S. health care providers, including obstetricians and gynecologists, should ask patients about recent travel to affected countries in West Africa, know the signs and symptoms of EVD, and know what to do if they have a patient with compatible illness. For all healthcare providers, infection-control procedures are recommended, including standard, contact, and droplet precautions. Pregnant women with EVD appear to be at an increased risk for spontaneous abortion and pregnancy-associated hemorrhage. Neonates born to mothers with EVD have not survived.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a scourge which continues to fatally wound the physical, cultural, social, economic, political, and spiritual health achievements, hopes and aspirations of individuals, families, communities and nations. This review describes the utility of antenatal surveillance for monitoring and evaluating prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission programs in resource limited countries and generalized HIV epidemics. Population-based data sources regarding the incidence and morbidity that are associated with perinatal HIV infection are improving and indicate that prevention efforts have been enormously successful. There have been major advances with the prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission, and this review summarizes the successes and current challenges and provides suggestions for future directions. Viewing preventing the mother-to-child transmission as a gateway to family-based HIV care and treatment will help strengthen ties between these programs. Site-specific interventions to increase the uptake of prevention of mother-to-child transmission programs based on experiences in sub-Saharan Africa are discussed. Lessons learned can apply to many resource-constrained settings.
Group B streptococci (GBS) emerged dramatically in the 1970s as the leading cause of neonatal infection and as an important cause of maternal uterine infection. In 2002, new national guidelines were released recommending: 1) solely a screen-based prevention strategy, 2) a new algorithm for patients with penicillin allergy, and 3) more specific practices in certain clinical scenarios. In the pre-prevention era, active surveillance for invasive neonatal GBS disease estimated that approximately 6,100 early-onset cases and 1,400 late-onset cases occurred annually in the United States. The purpose of this document is to address clinical issues of group B streptococci (GBS) perinatal infection, implementation of new diagnostic techniques, management of preterm rupture of membranes, use of alternative antibiotic approaches, improvement of compliance, prevention of low birth-weight infants, emergence of resistant organisms and vaccine development.

2020 Baku Victory Parade () was held on 10 December, in Azadliq Square, Baku, capital of Azerbaijan. It was held in honor of the Azerbaijani victory during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, officially described as the Patriotic War in Azerbaijan. The parade was held with 3,000 military servicemen who distinguished themselves during the war marched alongside military equipment, unmanned aerial vehicles and aircraft, as well as Armenian war trophies, and Turkish soldiers and officers, while navy vessels performed maneuvers in the nearby Bay of Baku, and jets and helicopters flew above the city. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, a key ally of Azerbaijan in the war, also attended the military parade as part of a state visit to Baku.

The military parade aroused great interest among Baku residents, who gathered in different parts of the city and tried to watch the parade closely, despite the COVID-19 related regulations.

The parade was criticized in Armenia due to the Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev declaring the Syunik, Gegharkunik, and Yerevan regions of Armenia to be the "historical lands" of Azerbaijanis, and Erdoğan's remarks on the spirit of Enver Pasha, who was one of the masterminds of the Armenian genocide. Both statements were condemned by Armenian prime minister Nikol Pashinyan. In later speech Aliyev claimed to "have no territorial claims to any country, including Armenia". However, Aliyev has made irredentist claims over Armenian territories multiple times, vowing to "return to them", declaring: "Yerevan is our historical land and we Azerbaijanis must return to these historical lands". Later on 22 July 2021, Aliyev made another irredentist claim over Armenia's province Zangezur (Syunik), saying that it's "our own territory".

During the parade, Erdogan also recited parts of a controversial Soviet Azerbaijani poem, which sparked tensions with neighboring Iran.

Background

On 27 September 2020, clashes broke out in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, which is de facto controlled by the self-proclaimed and unrecognized Republic of Artsakh, but de jure part of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijani forces first advanced in Fuzuli and Jabrayil districts, taking their respective administrative centres. From there, they proceeded towards Hadrut. Azerbaijani troops began to advance more intensively after the fall of Hadrut around 15 October, and Armenians began to retreat, with Azerbaijanis then taking control of Zangilan and Qubadli. Launching an offensive for Lachin, they also penetrated into Shusha District through its forests and mountain passes.

Following the capture of Shusha, the second-largest settlement in Nagorno-Karabakh, a ceasefire agreement was signed between the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, and the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, ending all hostilities in the area from 00:00, 10 November 2020 Moscow Time. Under the agreement, the warring sides will keep control of their currently held areas within Nagorno-Karabakh, while Armenia will return the surrounding territories it occupied in 1994 to Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan will also gain land access to its Nakhchivan exclave bordering Turkey and Iran. Approximately 2,000 Russian soldiers will be deployed as peacekeeping forces along the Lachin corridor between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh for a mandate of at least five years.

Parade

Before the parade

In early December, it was revealed that a victory parade would be held on 10 December in Azadliq Square, Baku, capital of Azerbaijan. Traffic was restricted on some streets and avenues to ensure the safety of military parade-related equipment. On 5 December, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces started training exercises for the parade. On December 8, a training exercise was held at the military parade, during which the military booty seized by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces from Armenia was demonstrated. Also, training flights of Azerbaijani Air Force planes and helicopters were carried out over Baku.

On 9 December, President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan arrived by plane at the Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku. Erdoğan was greeted by Azerbaijani officials and Turkish diplomats in Baku. He was accompanied by his wife Emine Erdoğan, foreign minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, defence minister Hulusi Akar, spokesman of the ruling Justice and Development Party Ömer Çelik, the party's deputy chairman Mahir Ünal, spokesman of the presidential administration İbrahim Kalın and Turkish Presidential Administration Public Relations Director Fahrettin Altun.

On 10 December, Ilham Aliyev and Erdoğan visited the visited the Martyrs' Lane, and laid wreaths at the Eternal Torch monument. Then, they went to Alley of Honor to honor the memory of former President of Azerbaijan, Heydar Aliyev, and laid wreaths at his grave. Both Aliyev and Erdoğan prayed in the Mosque of the Martyrs.

Pre-parade speech

The parade began with the massed bands playing both Azərbaycan marşı and İstiklal Marşı after the arrival of the two heads of state.

During his speech, President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, stated that hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis living in the present-day Armenia were "expelled from their ancestral lands", adding that Zangezur, Goycha, and Iravan were the "historical lands of Azerbaijan", and that the Armenian leadership had expelled hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis from Armenia, as well as Nagorno-Karabakh. Ilham Aliyev also noted that three days before the war began, at UN General Assembly, he said that "Armenia was preparing for a new war and they must be stopped". He added that in 2020, Armenia launched three attacks against Azerbaijan, in July, in August, and in September. And in response, he had "ordered the Azerbaijani soldiers to move forward." Aliyev then recalled the Battle of Shusha, calling it a "historic event". At the end, Aliyev stated that the Azerbaijani army had defeated Armenia, and that the Armenian Army was almost "non-existent and destroyed", adding that if the "Armenian fascism rises again, the result will be the same".

The President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan also made a speech. He first wished God's mercy to the Azerbaijani soldiers who were killed or wounded during the war, then continued to praise the Azerbaijani–Turkish relations. He then added that those who brought "nothing but massacres and tears to Karabakh must now come to their senses", and that the Armenian politicians should take "bold steps towards peace and stability."
 Erdoğan, reciting a controversial Soviet Azerbaijani poem, then stated that it was the day that the "souls of Ahmad Javad, Nuru Pasha, Enver Pasha and Mubariz Ibrahimov were enlightened". He also stressed that the "struggle in the political and military spheres will continue on different fronts."

Features

Personnel

The personnel of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces marched on following the address in the grounds of Azadliq Square under the Victory Banner, which is a flag planted in Shusha when the Azerbaijan forces seized the city's control.

A plaque with the license plates confiscated from the Armenian Armed Forces was also displayed at the parade, with the panel having the inscription "Karabakh is Azerbaijan!".

Crowd
The military parade aroused great interest among Baku residents, who gathered in different parts of the city and tried to watch the parade closely. Despite the COVID-19 measures, Baku residents tried to go to Azadliq Square around Nizami Street and Sahil Park to watch the military parade. However, they were stopped by the police and the police officers did not allow people to enter the Baku Boulevard. Azerbaijani Defense Ministry officials said the city was not closed and people had gathered to watch the parade near the Puppet Theater. The Baku Main Police Office further noted that "necessary measures are being taken to control the event and prevent the spread of the pandemic and to prevent overcrowding in the area." There was no official warning to the population on not gathering. A BBC Azerbaijani correspondent reported that Baku residents were flocking to Azadliq Square from Neftchilar Avenue despite the fact that the parade was going to start soon. Crowds of people, waving Azerbaijani and Turkish flags, watched the parade.

Aftermath
A festive fireworks display was held at the Baku Boulevard later that night.

Post-parade conference
After the parade, Ilham Aliyev and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan held a joint conference. Aliyev stated that if the Armenian government draws the "right conclusions from the war and gives up its claims, baseless claims and looks to the future, then they can have a place on a single platform". Erdoğan stressed that he supported the idea of Aliyev on building a platform with the participation of six countries, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Russia, Georgia, Iran and Armenia, and stated that such cooperation could bring peace to the region. He also added that the approaches of Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, helped to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in a positive way. Aliyev further noted that Turkish companies will build a road to Shusha, and when the road is ready, he will visit the city with Erdoğan. He added that along with Azerbaijani companies, Turkish companies will also participate in the construction of roads, railways and other infrastructure in the region.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu stated that said that an agreement was signed between Azerbaijan and Turkey to simplify travel between the two countries. According to Çavuşoğlu, he signed a document with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, Jeyhun Bayramov, adding that the travel between two countries will soon be done just with ID cards.

International reactions
The Turkish Ministry of National Defence, Ankara Mayor Mansur Yavaş, and Speaker of the Turkish Grand National Assembly Mustafa Şentop congratulated Azerbaijan on the parade.

Israeli opera singer Camellia Ioffe organized a concert of Azerbaijani music at the park, during which the musicians dedicated their performance to the Victory Parade in Baku.

Armenia strongly condemned Ilham Aliyev's statements on its provinces, labelling them "provocative". Also, the spokesperson for the Prime Minister of Armenia, Mane Gevorgyan stated that Erdoğan's "glorification of the ideologies of the Young Turks" was also "strongly condemnable". The Armenian ambassador to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia Tigran Mkrtchyan called the parade a "masquerade" in response to the photograph of an Azerbaijani officer making the Grey Wolves sign during the military parade.

Russian State Duma Deputy Konstantin Zatulin called the parade "an attempt to humiliate" both Armenia and Russia and condemned the attempts of President Aliyev during his speech to draw parallels with the fight against fascism and the operation in Nagorno-Karabakh.

Poem controversy

Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, in response to Erdoğan reciting a poem by Soviet Azerbaijani poet Bakhtiyar Vahabzadeh referring to the Aras River and the Iranian Azerbaijan, stated that no one was "allowed to talk about beloved Azerbaijan of Iran". Iran's former ambassador to Baku, Mohsen Pakaeen, stated that such remarks could raise historical and controversial issues between Azerbaijan and Iran, hurting their relations. Pakaeen also accused Erdoğan of spreading Pan-Turkism. Iranian authorities then summoned Turkey's ambassador to Tehran, and asked for an immediate explanation.

The food and drink scene in the Staffordshire Peak District is really flourishing at the moment, with a great choice of award-winning pubs, cafes and restaurants, as well as events like the Sunday Supplement market showcasing our best artisan producers every month.
Here are five mouth-watering menus to tuck into on your next visit.
Where else could we start other than the Taste of Staffordshire Casual Dining Restaurant of the Year, The Three Horseshoes Country Inn?
Combining culinary excellence with great value for money and the beautiful Roaches backdrop, this recently refurbished eaterie on the outskirts of Leek guarantees a menu of modern dishes and traditional favourites, made with the very best locally-sourced ingredients.
Their themed nights offer tasty treats which won't break the bank.
Every Thursday, Steak Night gives you a choice of sirloin, rump and rib eye steaks at two for £29.99, with a bottle of house wine thrown in. And the Senior Citizen Meny, available lunchtime Monday to Friday, has a small roast and dessert for just £7.80!
There's also a lovely afternoon tea on the terrace too, overlooking the rocky Peak District outcrops, if you're after something a bit lighter.
Talking of afternoon tea and light bites, The Cottage Kitchen Country Cafe, Winkhill, is home to another selection to savour.
Our current Tea Room/Coffee Shop of the Year, The Cottage Kitchen is a stone's throw away from top attractions like Alton Towers Resort, Peak Wildlife Park and Churnet Valley Railway, not to mention the great walking and cycling of the Manifold Valley.
So it's the perfect place to stop, whether you need to build up energy reserves for the challenges ahead, or refuel after an action-packed day out.
The menu just shouts Staffordshire, with produce from the Staffordshire Cheese Company and the Staffordshire Brewery, and of course the mighty Staffordshire oatcake, all featuring prominently.
Once you've polished off your meal, head next door to the Cottage Delight outlet, and browse the delicious jams, chutneys, sauces and other tasty treats from the 700-strong product range, made just down the road in Leek.
Why not grab a taste of Staffordshire to enjoy at home?
In the heart of Leek is another of our favourites, The Roebuck.
Winner of the Taste of Staffordshire Pub of the Year award in 2018, this historic hostelry, which was built in 1626, is known for its traditional homemade dishes, like the Totally Locally Leek Burger, created entirely from local ingredients.
Find real value in their meal deals, like Pie Night, which every Monday to Wednesday offers a pie and a pint for a tenner, and Steaks & Cheesecakes on Fridays, where everyone who orders a steak gets a free cheesecake!
Wash down your meal with a great pint - this Titanic Brewery-owned pub has 13 cask ales and six craft ales to choose from, including Titanic's legendary Plum Porter, Iceberg and Steerage.
And there's a friendly welcome for four-legged friends too, with a well-stocked treat jar to ensure they aren't forgotten.
A newly-refurbished country pub and restaurant on Alton Towers' doorstep, The Alton Bridge Hotel is a great place to unwind after a day of exertions.
With a reputation for a warm welcome and ravishing Sunday roasts, it's a popular destination for walkers and cyclists too, with plenty of countryside paths to choose from, including routes into the wonderful Dimmings Dale and along the River Churnet.
All ingredients are sourced as locally as possible, with a great selection of sandwiches and sharing platters, as well as pub classics if you've worked up an appetite.
Why not create your own pie, choosing from the wide range of fillings, toppings and sides on offer?
Boasting scores of excellent TripAdvisor reviews, with an average of 4.5 out of 5, The Alton Bridge has a great ambience, friendly service and gorgeous fayre, and fully deserved its top three slot in the Casual Dining Restaurant of the Year category at the 2018 Good Food Awards.
Nestling in the pretty village of Bagnall, The Stafford Arms is full of all the charm and character you would expect from a 16th Century Inn, combined with the contemporary luxury of the 2018 extension.
Enjoy the rustic features of the Stables Dining Rooms, with its oak beams and roaring log fires, or relax in the modern, airy conservatory.
The main a la carte menu is packed with traditional favourites at bargain prices, with two courses for £12.95 throughout the week, and Sunday lunch at £16.95 for starter and main course.
The membership scheme offers even better value, with a 10% discount for card holders.

The Staffordshire Peak District is blessed with plenty of great places to eat. The restaurant at Greenway Hall Golf Club, The Ramblers Retreat, and Roaches Tea Rooms are all well worth a visit too.

Weekly Words: Deathless Divide by Justina Ireland
It is the 2nd Friday of the month, and that means I share with you what I am reading or writing, and I have successfully finished the book I'd been lazily reading since April and a whole comic book saga (The Dark Phoenix Saga, which was hilariously bad, but nostalgia), and have started a web series as well as a new book! And by new, I mean another book, because I bought it December 2020.
Justina Ireland's Deathless Divide, the sequel to Dread Nation, returns us to post-slavery, zombie-riddled America with Jane McKeene, zombie fighter extraordinaire, and this time, we also get to look through the eyes of her fellow fighter and former rival Katherine Devereaux as the girls try to get to California a la Oregon Trail...with zombies (they're not really taking the Oregon Trail, but could you imagine!).
This might be one of my favorite covers. Some covers with the characters on them tend to miss the mark, and these two really bring to life Jane and Kate for me, except Kate is described as light enough to pass for white, but that's the only difference. I can imagine her being out in the sun would give her this complexion. But anyway, the juxtaposition of their clothes also enhances it for me. Jane dresses to fight. Kate dresses to remain a lady. I do think it's funny, where I've gotten so far, that she keeps cutting off pieces of her petticoats to clean things. She's resourceful, I'll give her that.
I just started reading this on Tuesday, so I haven't run into any more shamblers (what they call zombies), but getting to see Kate's POV, we do get to read more about her ace/aro leanings. Seeing what Jane goes through with her on/off beau Jackson, Kate expressly says she will never feel that kind of push-pull and would never even sign up for it. It's great to see.
If you haven't read Dread Nation yet, I highly recommend it, and I don't even like zombies. I definitely remember yelling in fear reading the first book, so I expect nothing less with this one.
Here is the blurb:
After the fall of Summerland, Jane McKeene hoped her life would get simpler: Get out of town, stay alive, and head west to California to find her mother.
But nothing is easy when you're a girl trained in putting down the restless dead, and a devastating loss on the road to a protected village called Nicodemus has Jane questioning everything she thought she knew about surviving in 1880's America.
What's more, this safe haven is not what it appears - as Jane discovers when she sees familiar faces from Summerland amid this new society. Caught between mysteries and lies, the undead, and her own inner demons, Jane soon finds herself on a dark path of blood and violence that threatens to consume her.
But she won't be in it alone.
Katherine Deveraux never expected to be allied with Jane McKeene. But after the hell she has endured, she knows friends are hard to come by - and that Jane needs her, too, whether Jane wants to admit it or not.
Watching Jane's back, however, is more than she bargained for, and when they both reach a breaking point, it's up to Katherine to keep hope alive - even as she begins to fear that there is no happily-ever-after for girls like her.

Int Microbiol. 2005 Mar;8(1):43-8.
Colonization by Clostridium difficile of neonates in a hospital, and infants and children in three day-care facilities of Kanazawa, Japan.

The intestinal-carriage rates of Clostridium difficile in neonates hospitalized in the University Hospital's Center for Perinatal and Reproductive Health and in infants and children enrolled in two day-nurseries and a kindergarten were examined. Swab samples from the floors of these facilities were also analyzed to determine the extent of environmental contamination by this organism. C. difficile was found in the stool of only one of 40 neonates during the normal 1-week stay in the hospital after delivery. The isolate from the neonate was identical to that of her mother, as determined by PCR ribotyping, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis, and toxin gene type, suggesting that the C. difficile-positive neonate acquired the organism from her mother rather than from the environment. By contrast, 47 (48.0%) of the 98 infants and children, comprising 50 enrolled in two day-nurseries who were >= 3 years old and 48 enrolled in a kindergarten who were 2-5 years old, carried C. difficile. The carriage rate in infants under 2 years of age was much higher (84.4%) than in children 2 years old and older (30.3%). When analyzed according to age group, the carriage rates were 100, 75.0, 45.5, 24.0, 38.5, and 23.5% in infants and children 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years old, respectively. The observation that several children were colonized with the same type of C. difficile strain in each day-care facility, and that the floors of day-nursery A and kindergarten C were contaminated with C. difficile strains identical to those colonizing the intestines of children enrolled in those facilities suggests that cross-infection of C. difficile among children occurs through C. difficile-carrying children or their contaminated environments.

Netflix CEO Isn't Worried About Competition From HBO MAX, Disney+, Peacock, & More

At the New York Times DealBook conference Wednesday, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings gave a keynote that addressed the wave of new streaming services launching and where he sees Netflix going in the future.
Hastings responded to questions about the competition with full confidence in Netflix and loyal subscribers who will stick with the platform they've been using for years.
"The real measurement will be time," he commented. "How do consumers vote with their evenings?"
He went on to talk about how Netflix will continue holding their position as a powerhouse in the streaming market, namely continuing to invest in content. Reports are showing that Netflix will reach $15 billion in spending on content this year, and that number is likely to grow. "We're planning on taking spending up quite a bit, " Hastings said, according to Deadline.
During the talk and the follow up Q&A session, Hastings commented that there are no plans for Netflix to become an ad-supported service. He noted that Netflix is comfortable with the decision they've made to not air ads.
By offering a quality service, maintaining the ad-free model, and continuing to add new content, the Netflix CEO believes the platform will continue to grow. "We're going to try to do the absolute best content that we can. And ultimately that's going to draw in more subscribers," Hastings said.
