In order to achieve a stable indoor air quality environment, you must first address air leakage in your home. This is done by determining what areas are of the most concern and applying a logical solution. The solution to solve multiple problems at once is Pentoir Spray Foam.
Insulation is made to address R-value, but it should also factor in air movement as well. Insulations such as standard fiberglass and tri-polymer foam are not effective in stopping the movement of air through the framing members of buildings.
Moisture permeability is also a key consideration for insulation materials in a building envelope. How does the material react to water intrusion, moisture laden air and changes in temperature? Does the material allow moist air to collect in the wall or ceiling assembly? Does moist air have a tendency to turn to water and create mold or other problems?
Energy-efficient buildings are achieved through a combination of excellent air sealing and good R-value. Cellulose and acrylic-based fiberglass can be effective in tandem with an excellent caulking package. Polyurethane spray foam can address both issues with one product, however. There are different types of polyurethane spray foam for different applications.
Although we also caulk our open-cell spray foam building frames for truly superior performance, foam insulation has some significant advantages in many buildings. Because it is adhesive, it sticks to and encapsulates framing members. We can spray onto open rafters and other areas whereas other types of insulation would succumb to gravity over time.
By bringing attic areas into the conditioned envelope with open-cell spray foam, a builder can also install ducts into this space for easier HVAC retrofits. Open-cell spray foam also is flexible and forgiving with water intrusion. Due to its cellular structure, it allows liquid water to permeate it without absorption, while inhibiting the movement of water vapor.
"Decoupling" the building framing members can also yield good results. Framing members can act as thermal bridges, siphoning energy from a building. With infra-red imaging, we can detect each and every framing member that connects the inside to the outside due to on-going energy loss. A builder can greatly reduce heat transfer by installing an air space and/or an insulation product over framing members.
Conductive heat flow is interrupted with these techniques.
Insulation materials can also be sound attenuators, particularly in tandem with decoupling the framing. Noise between rooms and from outside can be mitigated with insulation. Sanitary lines between floors are another area where sound attenuation can improve the quality of life. Spray foam insulation is one of the most effective methods to deaden sound transmission.

Q: Referencing a field with a variable I was wondering if it was possible to referance a class field via variable.  like so:
int variable = 0;
while (variable > 3)
{
   class._fieldvariable = something;
   i++
}

where if I have fields: _field1, _field2, _field3 I can iterate through them all.
The main reason for doing this is I have an sql query that will append multiple records and I'd rather not have to do all the parameters multiple times but rather something like this:
while (i < 4)
}
   command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Alpha1", _alphai01.ToString());
   i++
}

to let me set parameters 3 times with _alpha101, _alpha201 and _alpha301 are used for three different queries.
thanks!

A: Associate properties to the fields, all of them with get/set access.
If we're really talking about three fields, a more or less clean way to do so is by using a function GetField(int index) which would return the corresponding property. Then your code can be
class.GetField(i) = something;

An array is better in the more general case (for example, if the number of fields is expected to change).
I would prefer not to use reflection for such a simple purpose.

A: You can use invokeMember to call a certain setter of a property:
Object obj; //your instance;

obj.GetType().InvokeMember("Alpha1",
BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.SetProperty,
Type.DefaultBinder, obj, "ValueForAlpha1");

that's equal to
obj.Alpha1 = "ValueForAlpha1";

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/vstudio/66btctbe.aspx

A: You could use reflection like this
if you have a class A
 public class A
    {
        int field1, field2, field3;
    }

you could set these fields like this
 A obj = new A();
        for (int i = 1; i < 4; i++)
        {
            FieldInfo field = obj.GetType().GetField(String.Format("field{0}", i), BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
            if (null != field)
            {
                field.SetValue(obj, i);
            }

        }

If you don't already know, let me be the first to tell you that Negril has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
To be fair, there are beautiful beaches all over Jamaica. So you can argue that there are many other beaches on the island that are just as nice.
But from my experience, which holds a lot of weight seeing that I have a doctorate in beach-bumming, Negril definitely has top-tier, first-class, A+ beaches.
There are 2 sides to Negril.
One side has the world famous 7-mile-beach and the other is mainly made up of cliffs like you'll find at Rick's Cafe.
If you're one of those people, like a very good friend of mine, that don't like the feeling of sand between your toes, then stick to the cliffs. You'll get a chance to enjoy swimming in the warmth of the amazingly clear Caribbean Sea without having to worry about the sand.
But if you're a beach bum like I am, you'll definitely enjoy laying out on the perfectly soft white sands of the 7-mile-beach.
But with 7 whole miles, where do you start?
Below, I'll share some of the best spots that I've found (bars, restaurants, etc…) that are situated right on the 7-mile-beach, and give you direct access to the water.
Bloody Bay Beach is a public beach that is located on the north side of Negril's 7-mile-beach.
If you're driving along Norman Manley Blvd., look out for a small side road that's right beside Breezes Grand Resort and Spa. Follow that road all the way to the sand.
Legend has it that this beach was named after a particularly bloody pirate battle that took place here hundreds of years ago.
It's a beautiful beach with perfectly soft white sand and very gentle tides.
The gentle tides is a result of a coral reef not too far from shore. So if you have snorkel gear, be sure to bring them.
There's a local restaurant and bar on the beach so you won't have a problem getting lunch if you plan on spending the day there.
But keep in mind that this is a public beach so there's no bathroom. If you need one though, you might be able to sweet talk one of the security guards at the hotel to letting you in to use theirs.
Booby Cay is actually a very small island not too far off the coast of Negril.
It's not directly on the 7-mile-beach but it's close enough and worth mentioning.
It was named after the booby bird, which is a type of seabird that comes to the island yearly to breed and lay their eggs.
To get there, head over to the seven-mile-beach and there will be boat taxis that will take you over for a small fee.
Some locals just swim over but I don't recommend you try it.
The beach and water is pretty decent but to be honest, the main attraction is the snorkeling. There's a beautiful coral reef around the island that will keep you occupied for hours.
There are vendors around so you can get drinks and food. There are no kitchens though so expect your fish or lobster to be cooked over an open fire.
Also, keep in mind that this is a public place so there aren't any bathrooms or changing rooms.
Margaritaville in Negril is a restaurant and bar located directly on the 7-mile-beach.
You don't have to ask if the beach is nice. Everything on this stretch in Negril is just about perfect.
Here you'll find a great mix of entertainment and activities that will please everyone in your family, no matter their age.
They have 2 huge water-trampolines, rock-climbing wall, tiki beach bars, beach cabanas and open-air dining.
The burgers and other menu items are excellent and the all-day reggae music creates the perfect island vibe.
The bathrooms and facilities are great but if I had to find a complaint, it would be the prices.
Everything here is overpriced but with the amenities, convenience, and service, it just might be worth it.
Chances Bar & Grill is known in Negril for having the best Jerk chicken & lobster Pizza.
But be warned. Don't wait til you're starving to order. Expect to go there, order a cold beer and hang out on the beach for a while waiting for your pizza. But the wait will be well worth it.
Sunday evenings are especially good here. They have a great live Jazz band that plays.
Spend an evening relaxing on Negril's beautiful beach in one of their lounge chairs and watch the sunset with a cold Red Stripe in your hand as you wait for your mouthwatering pizza.
Bourbon Beach is a great place to spend a day on the beach.
They have comfortable lounge chairs, and the food at the restaurant is great!
But they are well known for the live bands that play there in the evenings.
If you want a night of dancing on a beautiful Jamaican beach with a mixed crowd of locals and visitors, this is your place.
There's no charge to get in and the drinks are reasonably priced. You can expect to pay about $3 for a beer.
What could be better than working up a light sweat dancing in the cool night air to some nice, clean, live Jamaican music?
Cosmo's Seafood Restaurant & Bar is located at the northern part of Negril's seven-mile beach.
The restaurant is situated right by the entrance to the Long Bay Beach Park, which is just below the Couples All-Inclusive Resort.
They specialize in authentic Jamaican seafood dishes, that are made with freshly caught seafood daily.
If you're just going to eat at the restaurant, there's no need to pay the entry fee. But if you plan on using the beach, there's a small entry fee.
This is the type of place that you go to for lunch, then take an afternoon dip. When you start to get too hot, you grab a lounge chair and cool off under the almond & seagrape trees.
When the sun starts to go down, put in your dinner order with a side of freshly squeezed lemonade.
It will be a day well spent.
If you've been to any of the places above, please share your thoughts below. We'd really appreciate it.
And if you've been somewhere in Negril that you think deserves to be on this list, please let us know.

Jordan Cove is Essential - WSTN Letter to the Editor
WSTN's Andrew Browning lays out the big picture about the Jordan Cove LNG project in a letter to the editor published in the Medford Mail-Tribune:
The Jordan Cove project isn't just about Oregon or the Canadian company building it. It's about states like Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and New Mexico and Ute Sovereign Tribal Nation, who need to get their stranded natural gas to market. Energy independence is essential to our national security.
Jordan Cove's planned pipeline connects at Malin because of its access to pipelines that serve western states. So the idea that Jordan Cove will not benefit the U.S. during its decades of planned service is absurd.
Further, if Jordan Cove is built, it means Asian nations now burning high-emission fuels can shift to cleaner natural gas, produced under the world's most stringent environmental standards. So looking solely at the environmental impacts in Oregon, which FERC determined can be mitigated, is missing the big picture — exporting our environmental leadership. After all, there is only one global environment and emissions know no boundaries.
Finally, it's incorrect to say FERC Commissioner Bernard McNamee voted against the project because of objections from the state of Oregon. His public statement of Feb. 20 makes clear he wanted more time to review DLCD's voluminous filing, delivered the night before FERC's meeting.

Sporting Features
Ranch Attributes
The 2,085 acre Beckwith Ranch is a classic Wet Mountain Valley agricultural gem boasting senior water rights, hay production, quality grazing lands, and extensive wetlands habitat. With the spectacular Sangre de Christo Range as backdrop, and graced by the iconic white-wash and red roof "Waverly Place" improvements, the historic Beckwith is important to the area's long ranching heritage, and plays a crucial role in the land conservation legacy of the Wet Mountain Valley.
The southern half of the Beckwith is covered by a Deed of Conservation Easement on 914 acres held by the Colorado Cattlemen's Agricultural Land Trust. The easement calls for the continued historic agricultural use of the property and allows for two additional building sites on that portion of the ranch.
There are actually no building improvements on the Beckwith Ranch. While the eastern property line of the ranch is graced by the iconic white-washed red-roofed buildings of the historic "Waverly Place," (a favorite stop on a number of southern Colorado scenic driving tours), the buildings and respective 3 acres are owned separately by a local non-profit, Historic Beckwith with the mission of the long-term preservation of the buildings. The ranch has long been managed in conjunction with the neighboring adjacent ranches (see Ranch Attributes), though the historic building improvements include a large set of working pens which the ranch has access rights to use. The ranch is perimeter and interior fenced and generally serviced by two-track ranch roads.
Custer County zoning allows for one dwelling unit per 80 acres in this part of the valley, and the portions of the ranch covered by a conservation easement allow for two additional building sites (see Ranching Attributes) .
The Beckwith Ranch, is five minutes drive west from the friendly and scenic town of Westcliffe, in Custer County, CO. The majestic Sangre de Christo Range looms just one mile to the west.
Westcliffe, CO (Pop 4255) is home to several great restaurants, a grocery, hardware, motels, movie theater, bowling alley, and most other major services. Both Canyon City and Pueblo, Colo. with all services including hospitals, big box retail and many hotels and restaurants are a short hour's drive from the ranch. Colorado Springs Municipal Airport with non-stop service to more than 11 major U.S. cities is an hour and a half drive.
The Wet Mountain Valley affords outdoor enthusiasts an incredible array of activities with hundreds of miles of the San Isabel National Forest and BLM lands in all directions. Numerous trailheads for hiking, horseback riding, cross country skiing, ATV and snowmobile access. Hunting and fishing are abundant both on an off the property; Dewesse Reservoir is less than a mile east of the ranch; the Arkansas River and the world famous Royal Gorge are a half an hour away and are renown for the excellent fishing, thrilling white water rafting, and incredible scenery. Ski Monarch is a short hour's drive, and over what many argue is one of Colorado's most scenic highways, the Great Sand Dunes National Park is on the other (west) side of the Sangre de Christo range an hour and a half drive from the ranch.

Beckwith Ranch is home to antelope, mule deer, elk, and a variety of upland birds. However the quiet secret of the property is the remarkable duck hunting available in the series of man-made ponds strung thru the heart of the property. Using the abandoned historic Ula Railway grade as a containment berm, a previous owner diverted naturally occurring artesian springs/wells into a series of stepped-ponds originally intended for a fish hatchery. The ponds provide excellent habitat for a diversity of both terrestrial and aviary wildlife, most particularly abundant waterfowl; ducks and geese use the ponds year round. It is a sportsman's treat to walk the low side of the railroad grade jump shooting ducks in the Fall (no blinds or decoys required!).
The ponds described above are also well stocked with both trout and small mouth bass; on any given day an angler can expect to catch either or both on the same outing. While the long network of ponds is in need of work (some of the ponds have begun to silt up) given the remarkable natural source flows, an opportunity exists to re-vitalize the waterway once again, creating a robust fishery resource.
Ranch Operations
Situated on Swift Creek, the Beckwith is a remarkably well-watered property with both surface and sub–surface flows that historically made it a true "haymaker." Once part of the wet/irrigated portion of the renowned "Clevenger Place" (a huge ranch that stretched for miles), the ranch is now managed in conjunction with the adjacent Kennicot, Comstock and Rogers (Upper Kennicot), and Rusk ranches (~5,500 acres combined). While the ranch still puts upwards of 90 tons of hay annually, much of the water is now seasonally used to irrigate pasture.
Working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the current owners created a series of constructed wetland ponds in a vast area of former bogs in the middle of the property. These ponds (not to be confused with the hatchery ponds) required the "dry up" of some of the ranch's original irrigated hay ground to serve as augmentation flows for the evaporative loss from the new ponds. Again, most of the water on the Beckwith goes toward irrigating pasture for seasonal grazing.
The Beckwith Ranch holds senior rights in both the Jarvis Swift Creek #3 ditch (1.75 cfs 1871 priority, and 1.45 cfs 1874 enlargement) and the Freer, Beckwith and Kennicott ditch (FBK 9.9 cfs, 1875 priority). A well-maintained network of ditches and stream channels flows through the heart of the property delivering water to 400 acres of decreed irrigation ground (both hay and pasture).
The Beckwith sits in a remarkable location on the complex hydrology of Swift Creek as it flows thru the Wet Mountain Valley. While the ranch no longer services the whole 400 decreed acres with all the above-described water, all the water still flows thru the property, creating a vast network of stream channels and ditches with sub surface and return flow dynamics making it a remarkably well irrigated and productive ranch.
Conservation Value
Saved from development in the early 1990s, the current owners bought the western half of the Beckwith from a Texas real estate developer intent on subdividing the property into 35-acre ranchettes. Working in partnership with the San Isabel Land Protection Trust and the Colorado Cattlemen's Agricultural Land Trust, the owners of the Beckwith and five adjacent ranches formed the original body of the Wet Mountain Valley Ranchland Preservation Program, 10,000 acres of contiguous open space to forever remain in agricultural production (see map).

THE YEOVIL TOWN SHORTLIST
ytfc.net | @ytfc
With the announcement of Stephen Arthurworrey set to rejoin to Glovers for a second spell we here at YTFC.net decided to check out the tallest players to don the green and white.
Arthurworrey joins the list as the shortest of the big men, so only those who are listed as being over 6ft 4.5in are included.
1) Hugo Rodgrigues. 6ft 8in
The Portuguese defender was a firm fans favourite and his long leg was famously subject to a Harry Kewell dive in 2004.
2) Dan Burn. 6ft 8in
Arthurworrey isn't even the tallest Fulham loanee ever to grace the Huish Park turf.
Burns extra height proved vital at Wembley as he rose highest to nod home the second, and winning, goal against Brentford.
3) Asmir Begovic. 6ft 6in
The first of two goalkeepers on the list is Asmir Begovic, at the time on loan from Portsmouth but now of Stoke City. Half a season with Yeovil gave the Bosnian valuable first team experience before he made it to the big time.
3=) Wayne Hennessey. 6ft 6in
Goalkeeper number two on the list, Hennessey played a short spell on loan during the season in the Championship. The Welsh international wowed fans with his performances before Premier League Crystal Palace came calling.
4) Kieffer Moore. 6ft 5in
The first and only striker that made the countdown. Described by some as a 'beanpole' forward. Kieffer Moore troubled defences in League One and the Championship and scored the goal that secured the visit of Manchester United last season.
4=) Ben Nugent. 6ft 5in
Staying with last season's side, Ben Nugent towers over most of the side - but was only half an inch taller than his central defensive partner Arthurworrey.
4=) Aaron Brown. 6ft 5in
The central defender joined the Glovers in 2008 and played more than 20 times scoring a memorable overhead kick at Southend.
5) Stephen Arthurworrey. 6ft 4.5in
The "Big Dog" as he was affectionately nicknamed by his former youth team comrades comes in a lowly 5th on the list.
He impressed during his first spell and kept the powerful Manchester United front line in check for the vast majority of their visit in January.
Now he's back in Somerset and aiming for promotion under Paul Sturrock.
As an aside, our newest defender Omar Sowunmi could well be added to the list, he matches Arthurworrey on the measuring stick and will be considered one of the Glovers tallest players just as soon as he makes his debut.
Have we missed any? Let us know on Facebook or Twitter - don't blame us if any of these heights are incorrect, either. We went with Wikipedia for the stats!
Arthurworrey will be back in Green and White this pre-season. Click HERE to buy your pre season ticklts online.

New mother dies after doctors fail to remove placenta after birth
Last April, a 28-year-old woman gave birth to a healthy girl. The woman experienced no complications during the birth of her baby, but 12 days after having her baby, the woman died.
Our Chicago readers may be wondering what could have possibly happened if nothing went wrong when the woman delivered her baby. How did the woman go from being perfectly healthy to dying within two weeks of giving birth?
According to a medical malpractice lawsuit that was filed earlier this month, hospital staff had failed to make sure that the entire placenta was removed from the woman's uterus after her daughter was born. Making sure the placenta is safely removed from the uterus is something that must always happen after birth. Yet, somehow hospital staff failed to do this, which caused the woman to suffer fatal injuries.
The victim's husband filed a lawsuit two weeks ago against the hospital that made the fatal error. The incident is certainly heartbreaking. Not only did the husband lose his wife, but his daughter must now grow up without her mother. Even more devastating is knowing that the wife and mother would still be alive today had hospital workers performed one of the most basic and necessary tasks that must be performed after a baby is delivered.
The lawsuit states that after the woman delivered her baby, a second-year resident was in charge of removing the placenta. The resident stated at the time that the placenta was not removed intact, but medical reports later stated that the placenta was intact when it was removed. Shortly after having the baby, the new mother complained of pain, urinary problems and bleeding. Instead of performing a sonogram, doctors performed an MRI and found no problems. The woman had even attended a follow-up appointment with her physician and was told that she was healing normally from the vaginal birth.
But the woman was not healing. Doctors had left about a third of the placenta inside the woman's uterus. This caused the woman to develop a serious infection and to suffer from hemorrhaging. These complications from not having the placenta properly removed caused the woman to die just 12 days after having her baby.
The lawsuit claims that doctors had several opportunities to detect the problem and help the woman before she suffered fatal injuries.

Click on this website https://brainmass.com/file/359620/casestudy.pdf and read the case study carefully. After reading the case, answer question number one and question number two.
Answer question one, two and three.
No minimum or maximum pages. Just answer the questions correctly.
For many multinational companies and government agencies in the United States, a common assumption that states that what is dictated to be right in one country must not always be right in another country is made. Similarly, it is assumed that something that is not appropriate in the U.S could prove very useful and helpful in a third world country. It may have been determined by the U.S. that in all the cases of dumping those products proved to be harmful in this country, the benefits are more than the risks. However, this is not always the case (Dowie, 2015).
The dumping of products proved harmful in the U.S such that these products ended up being used in the third world countries is not ethical. As a matter of fact, a country's moral ideals are determined by the people living in that particular country. Therefore, the U.S. has no ground to pass any judgment regarding the ideals of another country. As an illustration, the Tris pajamas cannot be regarded as being morally ethical in the U.S since they kill. The same thing may be viewed differently in another country.
The question of dumping of products rendered to be harmful in the Third World countries causes confusion regarding the morally upright ways of conducting business, especially with the current existing U.S regulations. Those promoting the ideas and activities of dumping these products such as the Tris pajamas into the hands of poor and ignorant Third World citizens have defended their actions. One of the arguments has been that the poor people would not have had such clothing and that without the pajamas; these people would still be exposed to even greater safety and health hazards. My feeling is that the companies understand very well that their motives are simply to make profits and not to help the Third World citizens. Their argument is simply an effort to justify their selfish and unethical practice.
The involvement of A. H. Robins Co. that manufactured Dalkon Shield device with the Office of Population in the U. S. AID which eventually resulted in the product being exported to the developing countries to help in population control is not ethical.


(Sneary:Laney) or any parody of this slogan has reference to FAPA, on account of the tenacity with which members clung to the roster toward the end of World War II. ("FAPA members never quit and rarely died.") Laney, struck by Sneary's coinage, stuck this phrase on the masthead of the FA during his OEship (1948). On gaining office, Sneary as VP banned usage of the phrase there or in any FAPAzine. "Why, I wonder?" wonders Burbee. "I suppose he decided that it wasn't as funny or as significant as we claimed."
Sneary's term did not refer to the "tenacity with which members clung to the roster" — in Winter 47-8 there was no waiting list at all. What he meant was that actifans who had produced important subzine work were withdrawing from this activity to spend their declining years (fannishly speaking) in FAPA. And "I wasn't VP [when I banned the phrase from FAPA appearance]" recollects Sneary, "but Prexy. I made many foolish rulings, like no one being allowed to read a FAPAzine before the mailing — including its editor — and appointing myself, at the end of my term, as FAPA's ex-vice-president for a term of 9 years, to run concurrent with Perdue (who was the ex-President for 10 years)."


Sarjubala Devi makes Asiad squad :: Manipur News | Manipur Daily | Poknapham - Manipuri News!
NEW DELHI,29th June: Shiva Thapa (60kg) claimed a place in the Indian boxing team for the Asian Games after winning the trials, where Sarjubala Devi clinched the 51kg spot in the women's squad -- a category that had been thrown open after M C Mary Kom pulled out of the equation due to a shoulder problem.
Most of the team was finalised without trials, based on performances in the international tournaments and the national camp, but the men's 60kg and 64kg and the women's 51kg division were decided following trials here today. Shiva, a former world bronze-medallist and a three-time Asian medallist, defeated Commonwealth Games silver-medallist Manish Kaushik. Sarjubala, on the other hand, got the better of former CWG bronze-winner Pinki Jangra.
MEN: Amit Panghal (49kg), Gaurav Solanki (52kg), Mohammed Hussamuddin (56kg), Shiva Thapa (60kg), Dheeraj Rangi (64kg), Manoj Kumar (69kg), Vikas Krishan (75kg).
WOMEN: Sarjubala Devi (51kg), Sonia Lather (57kg), Pavitra (60kg).


Boston Spa Ladies might only have one team, but it's a strong squad who compete at a good standard. The ladies have been league champions of the North Division 2 South East for 2 years running. We also enter an Over 35s team in the England Hockey Masters trophy.
We train on Wednesday nights 7:30-9 with a dedicated coach, and play throughout Yorkshire on Saturdays.
We are always looking for new players, so please get in touch if you would like train or play with us.

Emmett McCarty Cullen, más conocido como Emmett Cullen es un personaje ficticio creado por Stephenie Meyer en las novelas Crepúsculo,  Luna Nueva,  Eclipse, y  Amanecer.

Biografía
Emmett McCarty nació en 1915 en Tennessee. En 1935 estaba cazando en las montañas de Tennessee cuando fue atacado por un oso. Estaba muy grave y a punto de morir cuando Rosalie lo  encontró. Y le llevó a casa para que Carlisle le transformara. Emmett describe la experiencia de la conversión como el ser salvado por un ángel de Dios y que fue salvado por un ángel. Alguna que otra vez ha recaído en la tentación de la sangre humana, pero es, igualmente, respetuoso de los humanos.
Emmett y Rosalie llevan juntos desde que ella lo salvó. Su relación es la más física de la familia Cullen, pero están muy enamorados y se han casado en diversas ocasiones, ya que disfruta con ese tipo de ceremonias y las lunas de miel, e intentan llevar una vida más normal y humana, de la misma manera que cada cierto tiempo viven lejos de su familia como una pareja normal. Ve a Rosalie como su ángel y la ama más que a nada, le concede todos sus caprichos y es el único con quien Rosalie se puede mostrar completamente dulce.

Apariencia
Su pelo es oscuro.  Sus ojos pueden variar de negro a dorado. Es alto, grande y con una fuerza sobrenatural. Es increíblemente pálido. Es fuerte, tan musculoso que podría parecer un verdadero levantador de pesas. Tiene veinte años pero su aspecto no es muy juvenil.
Le gusta cazar osos como un acto revanchista por su muerte humana y desafiar a Jasper (tienen entre ellos varias apuestas) y a Edward a constantes retos y pulsos, aunque alega que este último y Alice son unos tramposos.
Es una persona muy graciosa, ya que siempre se ríe cuando no es el mejor momento. Es indiscreto, jovial, juguetón y burlón, le encantan los retos, los partidos de fútbol y hacer cosas emocionantes; es el hermano favorito de Edward.
Al principio Bella lo ve como un estudiante de universidad o incluso un profesor que podría dar clases en la escuela de Forks.

Habilidades
A diferencia de sus hermanos adoptivos, Emmett carece de una habilidad especial distintiva (como son la lectura de mentes de Edward, la capacidad de ver el Futuro de Alice o el poder dominar las emociones de Jasper), pero a pesar de esto posee una Fuerza física superior a la de todos sus hermanos excepto de  Bella  durante el periodo neófito.

Relaciones
Rosalie es la esposa de Emmett y el verdadero amor de su vida desde que ella le salvó cuando él estuvo a punto de morir ante sus propios ojos. Se han casado en numerosas ocasiones para contentar a Rosalie, ya que a ella le encantan las lunas de miel, e intentar llevar una vida más normal y humana, de la misma manera que cada cierto tiempo viven lejos de su familia como una pareja normal. Sus relaciones maritales se dice que son bastante salvajes. En Amanecer se sabe que destruyeron varias casas manteniendo relaciones sexuales, y, al parecer, este hecho le enorgullece.

A neo-Nazi terror suspect who entered a Miss Hitler contest was obsessed with "ethnic cleansing" and talked about using a Jew's severed head as a football, a court has heard.
Alice Cutter denies being a member of National Action after it was outlawed as a terrorist organisation by the Government in December 2016.
The 22-year-old is standing trial alongside her partner, Mark Jones, who is accused of being a "leader and strategist" for the proscribed group.
Jones, 24, and Cutter, both of Mulhalls Mill, Sowerby Bridge, near Halifax, West Yorkshire, deny being members of National Action between December 2016 and September 2017.
The Crown also alleges that Garry Jack, 23, from Heathland Avenue, Shard End, Birmingham, and 18-year-old Connor Scothern, of Bagnall Avenue, Nottingham, are guilty of belonging to the banned organisation between the same dates.
On the second day of the trial at Birmingham Crown Court, prosecutor Barnaby Jameson QC made clear that Cutter did not win the Miss Hitler competition in 2016.
Mr Jameson, who began opening the Crown's case on Wednesday, told the jury of seven men and five women that Cutter "was a central spoke in the National Action wheel", having been photographed giving the Nazi salute on the steps of Leeds Town Hall in May 2016.
The prosecutor told the jury panel: "As you will see, Alice Cutter shared Jones' obsession with knives, guns and the ideology of violent ethnic cleansing.
"Cutter's violent racist mindset leeches right through the National Action chat groups.
"This was not simply Alice Cutter playing to the gallery.
"As you will hear, in a private one-to-one chat group with (a convicted National Action member) she said that what she considered a good thing was a game of football in which the ball was a Jew's decapitated head so that the Jew, in her words, or similar words, got a good kicking every time."
Cutter, who began a relationship with Jones during 2017, is alleged to have been a member of the same online chat group as both Jack and Scothern.
Addressing Scothern's alleged role in what he described as a fellowship of twisted racial hatred, Mr Jameson said the teenager had previously practised Islam.
Mr Jameson said: "One of National Action's strategies was to target the young and Scothern was plainly a young recruit.
"You will hear that Scothern came to Nazism via a circuitous route. He was drawn apparently to communism at one stage, and for a short time when he was 12 or 13 practised Islam.
"But make no mistake, however, that when Scothern found Nazism he never looked back."
Mr Jameson added: "He ended up linked to all the key players, we say, in National Action.
"By the end of September 2016 you will hear that Scothern was doing National Action recruitment in his own right."
The court heard that Scothern was photographed giving the Nazi salute with other National Action members in Dudley, West Midlands, in October 2016, and at the cemetery in Nottingham the following month.
Scothern was well aware of the implications of National Action being banned, Mr Jameson claimed, telling jurors: "You will hear that, during the banned phase of National Action, Scothern was effectively an activist's activist."

1:a maj-trofén är en alpin skidtävling som brukar avsluta säsongen för de alpina skidåkarna i Sverige. Första tävlingen arrangerades 1967 och trots att den ligger sent på säsongen har tävlingen kunnat genomföras varje år sedan dess.

Från början var 1:a maj-trofén en storslalomtävling som flyttade runt mellan anläggningarna i Funäsdalsfjällen, men sedan 1990 har den körts på Hamrafjäll i Tänndalen. Från början var den en tvådagarstävling, men är numera en tredagarstävling som avslutas med en stor final i parallellslalom för alla klasser.

Deltagarantalet i 1:a maj-trofén ligger mellan 900 och 1 000 åkare, vilket gör den till världens största slalomtävling. Såväl amatörer som professionella och även både barn och veteraner äger rätt att deltaga.

Ett nytt vandringspris i form av en guldtacka till vinnaren i damklassens parallellslalom infördes 1996. Guldtackan tillfaller den åkare som samlat flest poäng efter fem år. År 2002 vann Ylva Nowén guldtackan. Samma år donerades två nya guldtackor att gå som vandringspris, men nu även i herrklassen. År 2006 vann Maria Pietilä-Holmner och André Myhrer dessa guldtackor.

Pacers Final Score: Pacers sweep Pistons 90-72
Danny Granger returned, the Pacers finished off the Pistons for the season series sweep.
By Nathan S. Feb 23, 2013, 10:03pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Pacers Final Score: Pacers sweep Pistons 90-72
Struggles with turnovers early put the Indiana Pacers in a tough spot despite a quick start against the Detroit Pistons. The early turnovers, as part of 20 on the night, took away numerous opportunities for Indiana despite a 10-0 start to the game. The Pacers finished the half start strong despite falling behind early in the second quarter and used that slowly built their way to a 20-point lead in the fourth quarter. The Pacers played elite level defense, holding the Pistons to 33.8% shooting.
Detroit made some plays late to pull within 13, but that was as close as they'd get as the Pacers won their fourth straight. Danny Granger returned to action, scoring just two points on 1-10, showing expected rust despite getting some good looks. The Pacers were a bit timid tonight trying to figure out how to involve Danny, something that will hopefully smooth over as he gets re-acclimated with his teammates. David West's third quarter helped at a crucial stretch in the game as part of his 16. George Hill led the team with 17 as five Pacers reaching double figures.

There seems to be a lot of confusion about independent ladies, and agency ladies in the industry of late. What are the pro's and cons and really, what is the difference? Why does it even matter to the consumer?
Well, a truly independent working lady, is someone who manages herself. There is no agent behind her, there is no PA taking calls and answering emails. She is completely in control of her destiny. She is in control of answering emails, phone calls, managing a website, online marketing, print media, social media marketing, booking her flights if travelling, organizing her own schedule and running her own business as any other business.
Of course, the benefits are huge , just as the responsibilities are to match the benefits. You are in control of your hours, availability, what services you cater for, your image, how you market yourself and most importantly choice. The responsibility is just as huge, without the fallback and security blanket of an agency.
It can often be isolating working alone without the banter and interaction of other ladies. Private ladies need to be really self motivated and focused on what they are doing, as any other business owner would be. It often is a 24 hr business 7 days a week. Even if you are not in actual bookings, the hours spent behind a computer with marketing are horrendous not to mention the never ending phone inquiries.
With the different laws in place around the world, and the stigma somewhat associated with agencies these days, Agents are becoming more creative in how they market themselves. There are very few agents today who will be honest about being an agency. The ones that are, are usually professional and business orientated, the good ones! Most now they come up with terms like " PA" to a private lady. That just means I am an agency but I don't want to call it an agency, lets call it a PA. It makes me sound less like an agency – but that's what it is in reality. And often lets me take a bigger cut than a conventional agency with integrity and honesty would be able to.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with working for an agency if you chose to. Private independent work does not suit all working ladies You need to be business savvy to be successful, and not all have the tools or the drive to do run and manage themselves independently. Some of the benefits for ladies who work for an agent include 1. Set hours so that you can plan your private life around that schedule. You are able to be more organized, and clock on and off like a 9 to 5 job – it s just that it might be 6pm to 2 am. You don't have the hassle of answering a phone, email, marketing or organizing appointments These are taken out of the equation altogether, as this is what an agent does. It's a popular misconception that an agent is some "pimp style guy" collecting money for free while the ladies doing all the work. This couldn't be further from the truth in today's digital competitive age, although I am sure it is present in seedier parts of society on a global scale. Agents work under tremendous pressure, not to mention the fact that they need to manage a huge number of working girls with diverse personalities, which is an enormous challenge that should not be undertaken by the light hearted at the best of times. Although it is a business like any other, it is also a business like no other, and experience in how to delicately manage and balance people is essential.
The annoying aspect I find is when you do not have a clear view as a consumer of who is managed by an agency or PA shall we say, and who is truly independent. These days, agencies will set up websites posing as an independents, while it's really an agency, and websites calling themselves directories, but its really an agency where the emails of their ladies are going straight to the website operator and not the individual girls. That tells me it's an agency straight away This aspect I find frustrating and unfair as its clearly dishonest designed to confuse the consumer. It was only yesterday I read a newspaper article on Brothel operators blaming independent ladies for their lack of business. The industry is simply changing and evolving, and unless you evolve with it and unless you embrace the changes, you will not move forward.
If you are an agency, say you are an agency, don't lie and pretend you are something else. Don't try to submit listings to directories like ours posing as an independent. I have read on many forums clients complaining they booked a lady thinking she was an independent, and turns out she worked for an agency. The industry is big enough to cater for both, managed and independents – and for both agencies and privates there are pro's and cons. One option is not better or worse than the other, it is just different and a personal choice. Some consumers prefer to deal with independents only, but some prefer the choice and variety afforded to them by an agency. It's a shame that choice is not always clear and given to the consumer as to who is really an independent and who is managed.
I started this website directory in mind for only advertising independent ladies, but then I realized that reputable agencies have every right to promote their ladies as well. What I want to avoid in the future is creating an environment where agencies are submitting their ladies as independents, only to find out later that it is not an independent lady at all.
In the future, we may look into creating a sub section for "agency represented ladies" but clearly stating the fact that its agency represented section, in the hope of maintaining an honest directory with integrity where it is clear both independents and agencies can promote their business without stepping on anyone's toes in the process.
THANK YOU AND HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY FESTIVE SEASON!

Das Samariterdilemma ist ein mathematisches Spiel aus der Spieltheorie. Es modelliert die Situation zweier Akteure, von denen einer hilfsbedürftig ist und der andere Hilfe leisten kann. Das Samariterdilemma dient häufig als Argumentation gegen den Wohlfahrtsstaat bzw. gegen Transferleistungen.

Der Hilfsbedürftige kann sich mit der Unterstützung des Samariters bemühen, seine Situation zu verbessern, oder er kann sich auf die fortwährende Hilfeleistung des Samariters verlassen, ohne sich zu bemühen. Das Dilemma besteht darin, dass der Nutzen für den Hilfsbedürftigen in beiden Fällen identisch ist, das heißt, dass es für ihn keinen Anreiz gibt, sich aus der Hilfsbedürftigkeit und der Abhängigkeit vom Samariter zu befreien.

Die Bezeichnung Samariterdilemma wurde geprägt durch den gleichnamigen Artikel des Ökonomen James M. Buchanan aus dem Jahr 1975. Die Bezeichnung nimmt Bezug auf das biblische Beispiel des barmherzigen Samariters.

Der Ausweg aus diesem Dilemma, bei mehrmaligem Spiel, ist strategisches Verhalten. Laut Buchanan muss der Samariter dem Hilfsbedürftigen glaubhaft vermitteln, dass er bereit ist, seine Unterstützungsleistung einzustellen. So soll er den Hilfsbedürftigen dazu ermuntern, sich durch Engagement und mit vorübergehender Unterstützung des Samariters aus seiner Hilfsbedürftigkeit zu befreien.

Beschreibung der Situation
Zur Veranschaulichung stellte Buchanan dieses Dilemma spieltheoretisch als soziales Dilemma dar:

Historische Wurzel
Eine frühe Struktur des Samariterdilemmas formulierte bereits Thomas Robert Malthus, um die Armenfürsorge in England ab 1795 zu schwächen: Werden die Armen finanziell unterstützt, würden diese nur dem Müßiggang frönen und zu viele Kinder (Bevölkerungsdruck) zeugen, immer weniger seien dann zu Arbeitsleistung motivierbar. Malthus argumentierte, es sei besser die Armen (redundant population lt. Malthus 1798, S. 19) verhungern zu lassen, da die exponentielle Zunahme der Armen zu viele Ressourcen verbrauche und dann umso mehr und erst recht verhungern müssten. Von den Armengesetzkommissaren (siehe auch Armengesetz 1834) wurde Malthus' Argumentation zur Legitimation von Verschärfungen gegenüber den "Paupern" übernommen.

Chicago Cubs Hot Stove: Will the team check in on two former Yankees relievers?
(Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images) /
(Photo by Rich Schultz/Getty Images) /
In need of bullpen help, will the Chicago Cubs look to a pair of former New York Yankees relievers – both of whom have years of high-leverage experience?
When looking at the Chicago Cubs roster, a few things jump out right away. The starting rotation is set – with five established arms and a couple of backup options in-tow at this point. But its counterpart, the bullpen, needs more high-leverage arms in the worst way.
Right now, the three 'go-to' guys in the pen are Brandon Morrow, Pedro Strop and Carl Edwards Jr. And, based on how he pitched down the stretch, it's pretty difficult to include Edwards on a 'go-to' list of any variety. But, for argument sake, we'll keep him on it for now.
Not a bad trio to hand the ball to late in a ballgame. Strop has proven himself to be one of the most reliably consistent relievers in Cubs history since coming over in the Jake Arrieta deal. Morrow, while dominant, has plenty of health and injury concerns – especially in the wake of him missing the entire second half of 2018.
What do all three of these guys have in common, though? They're all right-handed. Chicago lost Justin Wilson, their primary late-inning lefty to free agency (although he could re-sign with the Cubs this winter). So adding a southpaw – and another veteran arm to the mix – should be a priority. Could the team check in on two free agents who spent 2018 with the New York Yankees?

La Coppa del Mondo di rugby femminile 1994 () fu la 2ª edizione della Coppa del mondo di rugby a 15 femminile per squadre nazionali.

Anch'essa all'epoca non ufficiale come la precedente, fu organizzata dalla Women's Rugby Football Union, organismo di governo di tutto il rugby femminile in Gran Bretagna, con il sostegno della federazione femminile scozzese e di alcuni club che offrirono collaborazione dopo che i Paesi Bassi, venuta meno la promessa di ufficializzazione internazionale con corredo di relativi fondi per l'organizzazione, avevano deciso di rinunciare a ospitare la competizione e a inviarvi una propria squadra.
Anche l'edizione in oggetto, come quella del 1991, fu ufficializzata a posteriori dall'IRFB solo nel decennio successivo.

Il torneo, a inviti, si svolse in Scozia tra 12 squadre; per fare fronte alla mancanza di concorrenti dovuta alle defezioni a seguito della mancata ufficializzazione, fu ammessa anche una squadra giovanile scozzese, chiamata Scottish Students.
La finale, tenutasi sul campo degli Accademicals di Edimburgo, vide di nuovo di fronte le campionesse uscenti degli  e l', che vendicò la scontitta di tre anni prima e si aggiudicò il titolo vincendo 38-23.

Alla manifestazione presero parte anche due eredi diretti dell'effimera nazionale femminile sovietica che partecipò alla Coppa del 1991 per poi sciogliersi qualche mese più tardi, il  e la , che si qualificarono rispettivamente al nono e all'undicesimo posto finale.

Storia
Dopo il buon riscontro di seguito ottenuto durante la  in Galles, il comitato organizzatore di tale competizione confidava in una presa in carico diretta da parte dell'International Rugby Football Board; la stessa federazione dei , avendo avuto ragionevoli rassicurazioni circa il patrocinio del massimo organismo mondiale, aveva offerto la sua disponibilità a ospitare una competizione a 16 squadre, contro le 12 del 1991; tuttavia l'IRFB negò la sua egida e gli olandesi si ritirarono sia dall'organizzazione che dalla partecipazione insieme ad altre squadre che avevano figurato nella coppa precedente (tra le quali ,  e ).

L'organizzazione
La neoformata Scottish Women's Rugby Union si offrì quindi di ospitare la competizione con la collaborazione della Women's Rugby Football Union, che aveva curato l'edizione precedente, e di sette club di sei città; a capo del comitato organizzatore sedeva Sue Brodie, giocatrice della nazionale scozzese, formazione che nelle sue file annoverava anche Deborah McLaren-Francis la quale, nativa di Bristol ma scozzese di origine, vantava la singolarità di avere disputato il campionato europeo 1988 con la maglia della , la Coppa del Mondo 1991 con quella dell' e, al momento della nascita della formazione scozzese, di avere optato per quest'ultima per la Coppa 1994.

All'organizzazione dell'evento parteciparono sei città: Edimburgo, Galashiels, Kirkcaldy, Melrose, Milngavie (nei dintorni di Glasgow) e Stirling.
La capitale scozzese fornì due impianti, il Meggetland Sports Complex, impianto interno del , e Raeburn Place, sede degli Accademicals, che ospitò la finale del torneo.
Per fare fronte alle defezioni che avevano portato le iniziali 16 squadre a 11, fu invitata una selezione nazionale giovanile, le Scottish Students.
Gli incontri con tale selezione non sono considerati internazionali dalle avversarie che le incontrarono.

George Williamson, marito di una delle giocatrici scozzesi e bancario di professione a Edimburgo, prestato all'organizzazione del torneo come tesoriere, basandosi sull'esperienza finanziariamente in perdita dell'edizione precedente, cercò accordi di sponsorizzazione più solidi e riuscì a ottenere per la squadra di casa un prestito di  sterline dal consiglio scozzese per lo Sport.
Dal punto di vista della propaganda, inoltre, un primo risultato si ebbe perfino prima dell'inizio del torneo, con il  che istituì una sezione femminile visto il numero di ragazze che si avvicinarono alla disciplina sulla scorta dell'annuncio della competizione.

Il torneo
Il torneo, che vedeva nell'Inghilterra una delle favorite insieme alle campionesse uscenti degli , rispettò sostanzialmente i pronostici nella fase a gironi: le prime tre classificate della competizione precedente, le due citate più la , vinsero i rispettivi gironi, e la quarta vincitrice fu il ; una giovanissima  con soli tre incontri alle spalle prima del torneo, il , l' e il  furono le quartifinaliste di seconda fascia destinate a incontrare le prime, che si imposero vincendo i propri accoppiamenti e relegando le sconfitte al minitorneo per il quinto posto, che fu appannaggio delle scozzesi che batterono 11-5 il  nella finalina.

Per quanto riguardò i primi quattro posti, invece, l' trovò di nuovo in semifinale la Francia come 3 anni prima e la sconfisse per 18-6, mentre gli  ebbero la meglio su una ancora inesperta squadra gallese, battendola 56-15.
La finale, che si tenne al Raeburn Place di Edimburgo davanti a circa  spettatori, vide l' andare in vantaggio con due mete tecniche per ripetuti crolli volontari delle americane in mischia chiusa; per ammissione stessa del capitano inglese Karen Almond la tattica della sua squadra era quella di non dare spazio alle trequarti statunitensi, che nel gioco aperto potevano essere molto pericolose (come in effetti si erano rivelate nelle due occasioni nel primo tempo in cui le inglesi avevano loro lasciato campo, risoltesi in altrettante mete).
Una meta d'intercetto nel finale di Edwards sigillò il verdetto e ininfluenti, se non per il tabellino, furono la meta statunitense e un piazzato a tempo scaduto che fissò il punteggio sul 38-23 per le inglesi e significò la rivincita sulla sconfitta subìta in finale a Cardiff tre anni prima che valse alle americane il loro primo (e al 2018 ancora unico) titolo di campionesse.
L'incontro ebbe un direttore di gara d'eccezione, lo scozzese Jim Fleming, già arbitro di due edizioni della Coppa maschile e successivamente in altre due fino al 1999.

Il post-torneo
Se il torneo costò, individualmente, circa 800- sterline a giocatrice per le spese di vitto e alloggio, l'organizzazione generale riuscì a conseguire un buon risultato economico calibrando le previsioni di entrata su una media di 50 spettatori a partita e regolando i prezzi dei biglietti di conseguenza; i circa  spettatori di Edimburgo che assistettero all'incontro della fase a gironi tra  e  furono, quindi, decisivi per assicurare la riuscita economica del campionato.

La squadra scozzese riuscì anche a restituire il citato prestito di  sterline prima della fine della competizione.
La presenza, tra gli spettatori della finale, di Keith Rowlands, all'epoca segretario dell'International Rugby Football Board, testimoniò dell'interesse che l'organismo mondiale mostrava per la competizione: nel 1998 fu proprio l'IRFB a organizzare la, all'epoca, prima Coppa del Mondo ufficiale addossandosi tutti i costi di gestione del torneo; fu solo nel nuovo secolo che il Board mondiale legittimò a posteriori l'edizione 1994 insieme a quella del 1991, facendole entrare a pieno titolo nel palmarès.

Un mese più tardi l'assemblea annuale della Women's Rugby Football Union decise la trasformazione in Rugby Football Union for Women (RFUW) e di non rappresentare più tutto il rugby britannico dopo la nascita della federazione femminile scozzese che si era affiliata alla SRFU; Galles e Irlanda seguirono e crearono le proprie federazioni.
Nonostante la creazione di un nuovo soggetto che rappresentasse il rugby femminile inglese, i rapporti con la RFU rimasero a lungo distaccati perché le donne intendevano mantenere la loro identità e non volevano adottare un modello di governance come quello maschile, in cui vi era abbondanza di dirigenti non giocatori, cosa che la RFUW riteneva non opportuna per la crescita di un movimento che aveva ancora bisogno di donne che potessero portare l'esperienza del campo in quella dirigenziale.
Occorsero ancora 16 anni prima che la RFUW si affiliasse alla RFU e 18 perché quest'ultima assumesse direttamente la gestione del rugby femminile in Inghilterra.

Angela Merkel accepted a rare invitation and addressed the US Congress to mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The German chancellor made it clear that climate change is a top priority.
Standing before members of the US Senate and the House of Representatives on Capitol Hill, Chancellor Angela Merkel acknowledged the honor given to her.
"Thank you," she said responding to the applause. "It is very moving."
She noted that she was making her address shortly before the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The chancellor received a standing ovation when she mentioned the historic events of November 9, 1989.
Early on in her address, Merkel paid tribute to the six million Jews and other victims who were killed during the Holocaust. She pointed out that on November 9, 1938, 50 years before the fall of the Wall, the Nazis pillaged and destroyed Germany's synagogues at what proved to be the start of the pogroms against Jews, which she called a "break with civilization."
Recalling her childhood and youth in communist East Germany, Merkel said that in her wildest dreams she would not have thought all those years ago that it would be possible for her visit the US, "the land of unlimited dreams."
She went on to say that although the "barbed wire" held her back, she was always "passionate about the American dream." In a lighter vein, she recalled how she was enamored of a "certain brand of American jeans," drawing laughs from the assembly.
The chancellor paid tribute to US President Ronald Reagan, who urged then Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to "tear down this wall" between the East and West. "This appeal will remain forever in my heart," Merkel said.
She also paid tribute to ex-President George Bush Sr., former German chancellor Helmut Kohl and Gorbachev for their roles in bringing down the Berlin Wall.
"Where there used to be a dark wall, a door suddenly opened through it. We all walked through it," Merkel said. She recalled how, inspired by the momentous event, she herself had given up a career as a physicist to take up politics.
Merkel also used her speech to make a strong case for globalization, saying "the alternative to globalization would be shutting ourselves off from the rest of the world."
Admitting that Europe and America did not always see eye to eye on all issues, the chancellor insisted that the US could find no better partner than Europe and vice versa. She said that this was not only based on shared history and interests, but more importantly on a common basis of shared values, in particular the common idea of the individual and the inalienable rights of the individual.
She said Europe and America were being called upon to "tear down walls of today," especially "the walls in the minds of people."
There was lengthy applause when she stated that there should be zero-tolerance towards issues like weapons of mass destruction and the likelihood of their falling into the hands of Iran, for instance, which she said would threaten "our security."
"A nuclear bomb in the hands of a president who denies the Holocaust … is not acceptable," Merkel said, adding: "The security of the state of Israel is for me non-negotiable - now and forever."
Merkel also urged the US and Europe to take a leading role in negotiations on climate change ahead of the United Nations summit in Copenhagen next month.
"There is no doubt about it, in December the world will look to us, the Europeans and the Americans," Merkel told the joint session of Congress.
"I am convinced that once we in Europe and in America show ourselves ready to adopt a climate agreement we will also be able to persuade China and India to come in," she added.
The chancellor wrapped up her address by drawing an analogy between two monuments. "The Freedom Bell in Berlin is like the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia: a symbol which reminds us that freedom does not come about of itself. It must be struggled for and then defended anew every day of our lives," Merkel said, adding: "In this endeavor, Germany and Europe will also in future remain strong and dependable partners for America. That I promise you…"
Earlier in the day, Merkel met with US President Barack Obama to discuss climate change and the war in Afghanistan.
Ahead of Merkel's address, President Obama spoke of the chancellor and Germany in glowing terms, saying the fact that she would be the first chancellor to address Congress in 50 years was "a very appropriate honor."
"Germany has been an extraordinarily strong ally on a whole host of international issues," Obama said with Merkel at his side in the White House.
He also said that Merkel herself "has been an extraordinary leader on the issue of climate change."

A letter writer offers a response to an earlier letter.
It sounds like Mr. Elvin Mackey has gone a little "wacky" (Times, Nov. 16). How can one compare drive-by shootings to Colin Kaepernick kneeling silently to protest the injustice that people of color experience daily?
Based on Mr. Mackey's remarks, he would likely disregard that fact or lay claims that injustice does not exist. The lyrics in the national anthem — "…land of the free.." — are an insult to some people because we are not all free. True, we may be able to drink out of the same fountain. But when it comes to jobs and how we are treated differently by police, we are far from free.
Even men and women of color who have worn military uniforms and fought for everyone's freedom in the U.S., come home and are not free to enjoy the very freedom they fought for.
I doubt Mr. Mackey has had to teach his sons and daughters how to respond when stopped by a police officer just so they can make it home alive. I doubt he has observed a person of color on a job, with more experience and education, watch a new young recruit take a job he or she should have been promoted to.
Many people of the majority race do not recognize they are privileged and never have to worry about basic rights that we do not all enjoy.
I doubt that Kaepernick or anyone else would compare or condone a drive-by shooting to what the protest is about: Police killing young people of color for no reason other than their color.

Q: Should Compaction within gc_grace_seconds Preserve Tombstones? If I delete a row (creating a tombstone), and run a major compaction within gc_grace_seconds, would one expect the tombstone to survive at least until gc_grace_seconds has elapsed?

A: Yes, the tombstone is expected to survive for gc_grace_seconds. The reason is that if a node is down at the point in time you delete the row, the delete must have a chance to get propagated to that node later on. When the node is back online and you run nodetool repair it can pick up the delete. If you do not run the repair within gc_grace_seconds then your deleted record might return from the dead.
IFF you are running a single-node cluster, then you can safely set gc_grace_seconds to 0. As there are no other nodes that might be missing deletes.
Have a look at this page on Cassandra operations, repair, and gc_grace_seconds.

Higher Education Assessments
Leadership Matters
Edited by Gary L. Kramer and Randy L. Swing - Contributions by Raymond Barclay; Trudy Bers; Bryan D. Bradley; Peter J. Gray; Coral Hanson; Trav D. Johnson; Jillian Kinzie; Thomas E. Miller; John Muffo; Danny Olsen; Russell T. Osguthorpe; John H. Schuh; Kay H. Smith and Vasti Torres
Higher Education Assessments: Leadership Matters reflects the work of a select group of researchers, scholars, and practitioners in higher education assessment with the goal of identifying strategies that assist senior campus leaders as they respond to the challenges of a changing economic landscape and political climate. The contributors, experts in the field, bring to the forefront key issues relevant to advancing assessments in higher education-principles that culminate in improving student learning and development. Kramer and Swing provide a tool for presidents, vice presidents, provosts, and deans to determine which areas of assessment matter most in their institutions and how they can measure progress in aligning claims with outcomes. The contributors deftly address assessment in student affairs, documentation of student learning, student engagement to bridge learner outcomes, assessment in the disciplines, assessments that can transform a culture, and putting students first as partners in the learning enterprise. In doing so, they have focused on what a campus president and his or her team need to know and do to lead assessment successfully on campus and as they set the tone for and facilitate institutional assessments.

From the Foreword: The challenge of the next decade will be not just to take stock of student learning, but to get better at generating it, intentionally, systematically, and continuously. The chapters in this volume are designed to remind that the management of assessment is much like the management of anything else. What is needed is an explicit plan, consistent with the institution's mission and values, that documents in sufficient detail what needs to be done and who is to do it....
— Peter T. Ewell, vice president, National Center for Higher Education Management Systems (NCHEMS)
Because Higher Education Assessments is aimed at leaders, the book fills a critical need and void. A number of points drive the power of the book: a connection to the mission and a well-defined broad spectrum of diversity that success should result in more support for what works and that a systems approach allows institutions to think about rewarding successful programs with additional resources.
— Catherine Andersen, associate provost, Gallaudet University
The message of the book frames the assessment vehicle for better education, for better learning, for better program design.
— Andrew T. Phillips, academic dean and provost, United States Naval Academy
If anyone were to ask me who needs another book on assessment? I would answer, we do! Presidents, provosts, and members of the senior leadership team whose task is not how to do assessment but how assessment should be done with purpose. That purpose is to align all that we do so that in the end we will fulfill the fundamental purposes of our institutions. The book is a winner!
— Earl H. Potter, president, St. Cloud State University
I can comfortably say I am impressed by the energy, thinking and empirical work that has evolved and is described in this book regarding the partnership in the learning enterprise…the emergence of the novel idea of putting students first in assessments…what an important concept.
— Joseph Crowley, president emeritus, University of Nevada, Reno
From the Foreword:The challenge of the next decade will be not just to take stock of student learning, but to get better at generating it, intentionally, systematically, and continuously. The chapters in this volume are designed to remind that the management of assessment is much like the management of anything else. What is needed is an explicit plan, consistent with the institution's mission and values, that documents in sufficient detail what needs to be done and who is to do it.
The book will serve as a tool for leaders to determine which areas of assessment matter most at their institutions and how they can measure progress.
— Presidency
Higher Education Assessments: Leadership Matters has value for broad college and university audiences. Its primary draw will be among higher education leaders who need to familiarize themselves with critical questions of assessment and accountability. Campus leadership teams and assessment professionals will benefit from reading the book together as engaged team development. Although written for top-level leaders, the book is equally suitable for deans or department heads who aspire to attain high-level posts and should be of interest to anyone concerned with assessment in higher education.

Virginia Protester's Head Cut Open by Confederate Soldier Statue Pulled Down on Top of Him
By Soo Kim On 6/11/20 at 7:27 AM EDT
News George Floyd Police brutality Protests Confederate statues
As protests over the death of George Floyd continue, a demonstrator in Portsmouth, just outside the Virginia state capital of Richmond, was severely injured when hit in the head by a Confederate monument as it was torn down on Wednesday.
The protester, believed to be in his 30s, lost consciousness after being struck by the monument as it toppled over, Portsmouth NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) Vice President Louie Gibbs told The Virginian-Pilot.
The toppled monument was a statue of a Confederate soldier, according to a reporter for Portsmouth's WAVY-TV, Brett Hall, who shared images of the scene on his official Twitter account Wednesday saying: "What had a party atmosphere 15 minutes ago now is filled with crime tape."
The president of Black Lives Matter 757, Aubrey JaPharii Jones, who witnessed the collapse, told WAVY-TV: "There was a gentleman directly in front of the statue. When the statue finally did give way...it fully hit him in the head. His skull was actually showing and he was convulsing on the ground. He lost a great amount of blood."
The man was hospitalized and sustained serious injuries, Sergeant Misty Holley of the Portsmouth Police Department confirmed.
Portsmouth Police Department Chief Angela Greene told reporters that no order from her was given for officers to ignore the destruction of property. She noted an elected official directed them to let the vandalism occur and that no arrests were to be made.

The soldier statue was part of a Confederate monument featuring three other statues that were also pulled down on Wednesday.
Protesters began pulling down the monument around 8:20 p.m. local time using a rope which later snapped, The Virginian-Pilot reported. Flames burned briefly at the base of one of the statues after a flag tied to the monument was reported to have been set on fire.
Portsmouth police warned residents to avoid the area of the monument in a post on its official Twitter account just after 10 p.m. local time saying: "The Portsmouth Police Department is asking all citizens to avoid the area of Court Street at High Street as they disperse demonstrators and investigate an incident that resulted in a citizen getting injured."
The crowd was said to have thrown bricks at the monument before starting to dismantle it piece by piece, while a marching band played and other protesters danced.
Update: The young man coded out twice and they started rsi he was sent to Norfolk General as a Alpha Trauma alert. Please keep him in your prayers.
— Blacklivesmatter757 (@BLM757) June 11, 2020
Norfolk Mayor Kenneth Alexander issued a statement regarding protests in Norfolk following the latest incident in Portsmouth, noting: "While we welcome peaceful demonstrations at the monument at Commercial Place, we want people to understand that the size of the monument, it stands at 80 feet, does not lend itself to safe removal without the use of a truck mounted construction crane.
"Out of an abundance of caution, anyone who attempts to scale the monument will be removed in the interests of their own safety," he added.
In Richmond, around 80 miles from Portsmouth, a Jefferson Davis statue was also torn down by protesters. A large crowd formed at the scene and cheered as Richmond police towed the statue away.
Earlier this week, a statue of Christopher Columbus in downtown Richmond was knocked down by protesters at Byrd Park. The monument was spray-painted and set on fire before being thrown into a lake, NBC12 reported.
On Saturday, a statue of Confederate leader Williams Carter Wickham in Richmond's Monroe Park was toppled. The monument's now-empty pedestal was scattered with Black Lives Matter slogans, NBC12 reported.

Betsi Cadwalladr..the foregoteen Welsh Nurse
I become increasingly frustrated with how many people both ignore this Welsh woman and Nurse. Its often that the English state snuffs out the role of those who are not part of the ruling elite. Betsi was working class, Welsh and did not particularly get on with the lady of the lamp. Before we start 2017 lets us be proud of the Welsh figures sadly forgotten today. Betsi is buried in Stoke Newington in London forgotten in a graveyard of the Imperial capital. Let us honour her and celebrate her life.
Everybody has heard about Florence Nightingale, the Lady with the Lamp. A woman of undoubted power and drive, she certainly deserves to be remembered as the founder of modern nursing.
Many will have heard about Mary Seacole, the black nurse who was turned down for inclusion in Nightingale's party because of issues like race, class and education - it didn't stop her, she went to the Crimea where she worked as tirelessly as Florence Nightingale to help Britain's wounded soldiers.
But only very few will have heard of Betsi Cadwaladr, the remarkable Welsh woman who also worked with Nightingale in the Crimea. Born at Bala on May 24 1789, she was one of 16 children, taking charge of the family and effectively bringing up the other children after her mother died.
When she grew up, Betsi (real name Elizabeth) was a traveller of note, working as a servant and as a companion for various people, ships captains and titled ladies among them. Her work took her around the world several times - and this in an age when most working class men, let alone working class women, never travelled more than a dozen miles from their front doors! Not officially, a nurse,
Betsi's various jobs in all parts of the world involved her in nursing duties and, in particular, convinced her of the need for cleanliness as an aid to recovery from disease and illness.
The Crimean War broke out in 1854 and, thanks to the regular despatches of journalists like William Russell, it quickly became apparent that the campaign was appallingly organised. One of the worst injustices was the total lack of care for wounded and dying soldiers.
Learning that Florence Nightingale had been commissioned to provide a cadre or squad of suitable nurses, Betsi Cadwaladr applied to join the group.
However, Nightingale had already left for Scutari and Betsi was forced to join one of the subsequent parties organised by Mrs Herbert. When she reached Scutari and met Nightingale it was clearly a clash of personalities. Apart from anything else Betsi was working class, through and through - Florence Nightingale came from a much more privileged background. Kept waiting for several weeks, Betsi fumed and demanded to be sent to the front:-
"I did not like the name Nightingale," she later commented in a book on her life. "When I first learn a name I know by my feelings whether I shall like the person who bears it."
Clearly, then, Betsi and Florence Nightingale disliked each other from the first and Nightingale eventually washed her hands of this argumentative and truculent Welsh woman who, despite all advice, made her way to the front lines where she cared for the wounded and injured soldiers.
She cooked, cleaned and nursed, working twenty hours a day and sleeping, when she found the time, on the floor with seven other nurses. Inevitably such conditions took their toll on a woman who was already over seventy years of age.
When Nightingale visited the battlefront and saw the amazing work that Betsi had done, she changed her mind about a woman who she had previously considered only to be an irritant. She begged Betsi to stay on - after a little rest - but Betsi knew her limitations and returned home
The author Jane Williams wrote a book about Betsi's life and adventures but Betsi did not live to enjoy the fruits of fame. Worn out by her exertions in the Crimea, she died on July 17 1870 and was, for many years, something of a forgotten heroine - even though she was one of a mere handful of men or women who ever dared challenge the redo
