Former Godfather's Pizza CEO Herman Cain Dies of Coronavirus
Herman Cain was CEO of Godfather's Pizza and helped restore the company to profitability in the 1980s.
Herman Cain, a 2012 presidential candidate and the former chairman and CEO of Godfather's Pizza from 1986 to 1996, has died from the coronavirus at the age of 74.
According to media reports, Cain was hospitalized earlier this month with COVID-19. "We knew when he was hospitalized … that this was going to be a rough fight," wrote Dan Calabrese, editor of HermanCain.com, in a post on Thursday. "He had trouble breathing and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. We all prayed that the initial meds they gave him would get his breathing back to normal, but it became clear pretty quick that he was in for a battle."
Born December 13, 1945, in Memphis, Tennessee, Cain grew up in Atlanta. After starting his career working for Coca-Cola in the mid-1970s, he moved to the Pillsbury Company in 1977 and worked his way up to become CEO of Godfather's Pizza. The chain was struggling at the time; Cain closed about 200 stores and eliminated several thousand jobs, returning the company to profitability. He and the chain's COO partnered with a group of investors on a leveraged buyout of Godfather's in 1988.
In 1996 Cain left Godfather's to become president and CEO of the National Restaurant Association, where he served for three years.
He announced his pro-business candidacy for the White House in 2011 and earned attention for his "9-9-9" tax reform plan (calling for a 9 percent income tax, 9 percent corporate tax and 9 percent national sales tax), but he dropped out of the race amid allegations of sexual harassment, which he denied.
In a 2011 interview with GQ, Cain said he was "very particular" about the pizza he ate, noting, "It's got to be as good as Godfather's or I won't eat it." He also said he was a fan of meat toppings. "The more toppings a man has on his pizza, I believe the more manly he is," he said, jokingly. "Because the more manly man is not afraid of abundance."
"A manly man," he added, "don't want it piled high with vegetables. He would call that a sissy pizza."

I am proud to anchor the 4:30 a.m. news each weekday morning in my hometown and then hit the streets to cover news in your neighborhood. I joined News Center 7 in 1997 as a camera operator with an ambition of one day becoming a reporter and anchor.
Before getting that chance in 2001, I spent 4 years behind the scenes in a number of positions including producer and radio reporter for WHIO Radio. Ironically my very first job was delivering the Dayton Daily News.
I was born in Leesburg, Virginia, but grew up in Dayton, Ohio. I attended Dayton Public Schools, Chaminade-Julienne High School, Sinclair Community College and the University of Dayton. I hold a bachelor's degree in Communications with an emphasis on New Media from Walden University.
My husband Jeff and I live on a farm just outside Xenia. In addition to having dogs and cats, we own cows, pigs and chickens. I am a proud step-mom and step-grandmother.
On a nice day you'll catch Jeff and I on our motorcycles. I also enjoy running. I've completed two marathons in an effort to raise money and awareness for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Where were you born?
Leesburg, Virginia
Dayton, Ohio (Belmont area)
What was your favorite TV show then?
What was the first thing you ever wanted to be?
How might someone have described you in high school?
What was your first job in television?
I worked in the WHIO-TV studio as a camera operator in 1997.
What do you like about your job?
I get to meet new people every day and see some incredible things.
What do you not like about your job?
A lot of people like you or dislike you for what you do and they don't even know you.
What might people be surprised to know about you?
I love to ride Harley-Davidson motorcycles, I'm a certified scuba diver and I used to sell cars!
What is the hardest thing you ever did?
I worked 3 jobs when I got my first job in TV in order to pay the bills. I was a bank teller, a waitress at Frickers and a camera operator in the WHIO studio all at the same time!
What would be a perfect day for you?
The beach, a book and a lemonade or a cabin, the snow and a fire in the fireplace.
What advice would you have for someone wanting to go into the business?
Be excited! Learn everything you can from everyone you can. Be ready to work long and weird hours, holidays and weekends. Realize you won't be able to make everyone happy. Understand being in this business can be one of the hardest, but most amazing experiences you'll ever have.
If you could only keep one 5-minute tape from your career what would be on it?
I would keep my first live television report in 2000. The report was terrible and I looked terrible but it shows me how far I've come. I would also keep the story I did on the last flight of the Hanoi Taxi at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. I got a rare chance to see history. I would love to keep my story about a little dog named "Petey". Petey couldn't use his legs and needed a wheelchair. After my story aired he was adopted instead of being euthanized. I would also keep my favorite blooper. A monkey, named Whiplash, who rides a dog during rodeos, showed up during my part of the noon newscast. I had to laugh…and I did…LIVE on air.

OH FOR THE LOVE OF ROSE GOLD!
Hello Everyone! Here's a slightly different post. Rose Gold is everywhere right now and we all have to agree that it is such a sophisticated, simple and feminine colour. I absolutely adore it and have a special place for this beautiful shade. That being said, here are some of my favourite pieces that are in… Continue reading OH FOR THE LOVE OF ROSE GOLD!


It's always important to get your year off to a good start when it comes to gigs and in 2017 our friends over at Beth Shalom Records brought a great triple-bill to the back room of Guildford's Star pub. After stellar support from Dym and Brighton's Fugazi-esque The New Tusk, Big Scary Monsters signings Cassels launched into a half-hour set full of riffs, important (and witty!) social observations and some seriously intense drumming.
The set kicked off with something altogether more subtle than the hook-driven sound we're used to as band members Loz and Jim eased into the show. However, this quieter sound didn't last and before long the duo had made a deliciously noisy racket while talking about nightmares and their prevailing effects on the human mind. This was followed by a song that seemed to tackle Brexit and the way society shafts the young head on as Jim talked about 'old racist idiots', the rising cost of rent and how hard it is to get out of debt. This was followed by recent 7″ single 'Flock Analogy', song bursting with clever stop-start moments and musings on the nature of fantasy. After this, the boys in the band had a discussion over which film Loz, the drummer, would be going to see following this weekender of a tour. We hope for his sake that he ignored the crowd's suggestion of Passengers and went to A Monster Calls instead.
With Jim's almost spoken-word and at times shoutier vocals, there's a clear emphasis on the lyrics and themes that Cassels tackle and further songs in the set included one all about the NHS and how valuable it is to us and the quite frankly brilliantly titled 'War is a Really Clever Metaphor for Divorce' which has the defining statement 'The children always blame themselves' running throughout. Being signed to BSM, you know the band are going to have plenty of ideas running through every song and as they came towards the end of the all-too short set, they played debut EP title track 'Hating is Easy' ('Loving is scary so I'll just hate you, hating is easy') complete with an effects-laden ending before finishing with 'Cool Box' – a song that combines thoughts about domestic abuse with Axes-esque guitar work.
Cassels are the kind of band we need right now. If they come to a venue near you, make sure you see them as they're bound to be playing bigger places before long.

One teen dead, three others injured after crashing stolen car in North Port
North Port Police Department
NORTH PORT, Fla. -- Police are investigating a fatal single-car crash involving minors in an undeveloped section of North Port overnight.
According to North Port Police, officers responded to the area of Yorkshire Street and Cassava Road around 2:30 a.m. Thursday. That's where they found a car that had left the roadway and hit a tree.
There were four occupants in the car at the time, aged 13-17. One 17-year-old died from injuries in the crash. The other three were transported to the hospital.
Police later determined the car was reported stolen in Port Charlotte.
The North Port Police Department's Traffic Homicide Unit is investigating this crash and working on additional details.

Astronomy Now - Opaque voids in early universe tied to galaxy scarcity | Astro What?
A computer simulation shows an area of the universe where a low-density void (dark blue region at top center) is surrounded by galaxies (orange/white). New research indicates voids in the extremely early universe were dark because they contained less matter than expected, not because they contained so much it blocked radiation from background galaxies. Image: TNG Collaboration.
It has long been known that the universe is filled with a web-like network of dark matter and gas. This "cosmic web" accounts for most of the matter in the universe, whereas galaxies like our own Milky Way make up only a small fraction. Today, the gas between galaxies is almost totally transparent because it is kept ionised— electrons detached from their atoms—by an energetic bath of ultraviolet radiation.
Over a decade ago, astronomers noticed that in the very distant past — roughly 12.5 billion years ago, or about 1 billion years after the Big Bang — the gas in deep space was not only highly opaque to ultraviolet light, but its transparency varied widely from place to place, obscuring much of the light emitted by distant galaxies.
Then a few years ago, a team led by Becker, then at the University of Cambridge, found that these differences in opacity were so large that either the amount of gas itself, or more likely the radiation in which it is immersed, must vary substantially from place to place.
To find out what created these differences, the team of University of California astronomers from the Riverside, Santa Barbara, and Los Angeles campuses turned to one of the largest telescopes in the world: the Subaru telescope on the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii. Using its powerful camera, the team looked for galaxies in a vast region, roughly 300 million light years in size, where they knew the intergalactic gas was extremely opaque.
For the cosmic web more opacity normally means more gas, and hence more galaxies. But the team found the opposite: this region contained far fewer galaxies than average. Because the gas in deep space is kept transparent by the ultraviolet light from galaxies, fewer galaxies nearby might make it murkier.
This discovery, reported in the August 2018 issue of the Astrophysical Journal, may eventually shed light on another phase in cosmic history. In the first billion years after the Big Bang, ultraviolet light from the first galaxies filled the universe and permanently transformed the gas in deep space. Astronomers believe that this occurred earlier in regions with more galaxies, meaning the large fluctuations in intergalactic radiation inferred by Becker and his team may be a relic of this patchy process, and could offer clues to how and when it occurred.

Atlas Reactor Impressions
I got to try out the new game Atlas Reactor by Trion Worlds and it's pretty interesting. Atlas Reactor is a turned based competitive multiplayer game. The way the website puts it, "TURN-BASED MULTIPLAYER WITHOUT THE WAITING AROUND" The game plays out it four phases. Prep, which lets players lay traps. Dash, which lets players move before attacks happen. Blast, which is when the attacks play out. The last phase is Movement. It takes a bit to get used to but it's easy to use.
I was interested in the game because of it's simultaneous turns which work really well. To play the game well you really just need to predict where the enemy is going to go. I played a game as each of the four starting characters which all play entirely different from each other. Each character has a few skills that fit into the four different phases of combat. The are multiple skills under each phase for each character so there are a lot of options for picking the right skill for the right situation. The character designs are neat and each one has a fair amount of personality, at least among the human characters. At this point in the game the environments are basic but provide all the of the extra strategic game play they were set up to provide.
The game made a good first impression for the early stage that it's in, although I had a few issues. Getting into multiplayer games takes a little while to load, which is probably something they'll fix in the future. I also found the decision time for turns to be a little too quick. I know they wanted it to be a game with no waiting around but they already solved that problem with simultaneous turns so 20 seconds per turn feels a bit short. Another minor problem was having the movement phase at the end. I found it harder to attack with the melee character because by the time I got to move, all the other characters had moved away. Most turn based games have characters move then attack and it was hard to get used to it being the other way around. I know they did it to give the characters a Dash ability but it felt limiting in a bad way. Which brings me to my last minor gripe: The ability cooldowns felt too long. After I did two or three moves I would not have much to do for a turn or two. I realize it's in place to balance abilities, but for a fast paced game I would like to see more frequent, weaker abilities then powerful, slow abilities.
All in all, I had fun with the game and would like to play more of it. The game tries a bunch of new ideas which work to make something new. The game is quick and free so if you can find a way to get the game, I would recommend giving it a shot.
Duelyst Decks
I tried making my own decks in Duelyst. Right now I'm limited in my options due to a lack of cards but the game has been pretty good about showering my with gold to get more packs. To truly make some good interesting decks, I'll need more cards. The deck making interface is pretty intuitive and I've mostly got the hang of how each faction plays. As for taking my customs decks online I did good with some and not with others. The Provoke mechanic works well with my Magmar at any rate. I'm still having a great time with Duelyst and remember, it's free so go try it now.
Try Duelyst!
I found the game Duelyst yesterday and after playing it for most of the afternoon, I'm a big fan. The game is a mix of trading card game elements mixed with a top down strategy game. If you like Hearthstone, Advance Wars, and free things you should try this game. Each game is a battle between two generals that summon minions and use spells to bring the other's health points down to zero. Generals move around on a grid and summon units around them. What make Duelyst unique is the units that are summoned are drawn from a deck of cards adding a trading card game layer to grid based battling.
The art in the game is a mixture of pixel art units in front of hand drawn backgrounds. It makes everything in the game very readable. The music and sound effects are good at conveying the clash between units on the battlefield. The game play is where the game really shines though. Each faction plays differently from a ranger, to a melee monster, to a necromancer. Every card is readable through gratuitous tool tips. The game is complex at first and I would suggest running though the games challenge modes to get a hang of unit effects along with some practice rounds against coms to really wrap your head around the game. Jumping online was a great experience even with just the starter deck. The game will pair you with someone your level in under a minute in a lot of cases and the chat options are limited to simple emoticons which mitigates trolls.
The game is great for being in the middle of beta. It's entirely free and gives you a good helping of in game gold at the start for making your own decks. I've gotten some good cards out of the little booster packs and the game gives you options for purchasing more. I'll give an update once I build some of my own decks. Otherwise, Duelyst is free and awesome so check it out.

SEO Tool is almost can not be calculated anyway, because so many seo tools scattered on the Internet, ranging from free to paid. And of course, when talking about which is best, the price is never a lie.
However, here I am not going to discuss the Software or the paid SEO Tool, because I am poor people who are hungry so I know exactly what is a favorite free to me, especially if it is not the Internet? From young to old, if given a free whatever I definitely would receive hahahah lol.
For this reason, here I have prepared a set of information for you about Free SEO Tool and Best in 2014 were summarized based on the number of users and the effectiveness of the tool.
Well, no need to linger, here are 10 SEO Tool Free and Best.
SEO tool which I personally think most super complete. But unfortunately this seo tool only works for the blog owner so this tool, you could say would be useful if used to spy on our opponent blog.
A very powerful tool to perform keyword research, and can be sorted by the highest number of searches.
This is a seo tool from Removeem. As the name implies this one tool and its function separately check Backlink Anchor Text used to create the link.
You could say this is also the best seo tool and is my favorite, because there are a lot of tools that you can use.
Toolbar to always I used to do the checking of the SEO strength of the web.
Tool to research keywords, and also you can use to figure out the most popular keywords that bring many visitors or a blog.
If you are using self-hosted WordPress mode, then this is the plugin that I think is required to be installed, as it will help you increase traffic to your wordpress blog.
Very suitable to see backlinks from competitors, but unfortunately if you want to see all the links you have to pay.
This is the tool I use most, because its very complete, what are they?
It is suitable to see which keywords are the mainstay of the opponent, but his weakness is rarely if new web indexed by SEMRush this, so it should be a website or blog that has a long or famous web.
Seo tool above could be considered complementary and have the functions and advantages of each, so please try one by one.

Russia's Korean Neutralization Plans and Witte's Manchurian Policy
Copyright (C) 1999 by Slavic Research Center,Hokkaido University.
This paper elucidates the plans for Korea's neutralization by Russia between 1900-1903 and evaluates its connection with Count Witte's Manchurian policy It deals with a series of three attempts to realize Korea's neutrality under the auspices of a "joint guarantee by the Powers," which was invented by the Russian government. In most of the literature reviewed, discussions about Russia's Korean neutralization plans have failed to view them as policies initiated by the government as a whole, and tended to interpret them only as impromptu, unauthoritative proposals by Russian Ministers on the spot. Witte, as the Russian Minister of Finance who had the greatest influence in Russian East Asian affairs, sought to strike separate under-the-table deals with Japan concerning Korea's neutrality. Japan in fact wanted a free hand for itself in the Korean peninsula, however, which seemed to Russia absolutely unacceptable in view of Korea's paramount strategic significance. This study shows that Korea's neutralization was Russia's ultimate goal, and this goal conflicted with lapan's stance on the Korean and Manchurian issues. In the end, these tensions contributed to the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War in 1904.
The Korean neutralization policy was originated and conducted by Witte. This was due to Witte and his ministry's involvement in all aspects of Russian foreign affairs. Witte's solution to the Korean problem was always connected with the situation in Manchuria, where the Russians wanted to exercise their extraterritorial rights. He brought up the Korean neutralization policy as a temporary means to defend against the lapanese from "getting into Korea" while Russian troops were actively engaged against the Boxer Rebellion in Manchuria. Witte argued that Japan would be handicapped by the expenditures it was making in Korea and that it would be much more susceptible to Russian pressure, especially once the Transsiberian Railroad was completed. All of which would make it easier for Russia to take possession of Korea later, if circumstances required. In other words, Witte was simply searching for a modus vi-vendi until Russian preparations were complete.
Henceforth Russian troops occupied Manchuria on 7 January 1901, Izvolskii, the Russian Minister to Japan, proposed Korea's neutralization under international guarantees, that is, by Japan and Russia, which in substance would divide the Korean peninsula according to each side's sphere of influence. The Japanese government, however, replied that they would not discuss Korea's neutrality until the Russians took steps to move their armies out of Manchuria. By replying through Chinda, the Japanese Minister to St.Petersburg, Japan by-passed lzvolskii who had been entrusted by the Czar with the authority to negotiate the neutraliza-tion issue. The two countries' relations continued to be very strained.
The "war crisis" of Spring 1901, caused by the conflict and mutual distrust between Russia and lapan on the Manchurian and Korean questions, had a number of consequences. First, it tended to unite Japanese statesmen who had previously been undecided with the proponents of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. Second, for Witte, Russia's primary concern was to avoid war with Japan, and the best means for solving the Manchurian problem was to renounce any political intentions in Manchuria and limit Russian interests there to the protection the Chinese Eastern Railway's interest as a private company With regards to Korea, he felt that if lapan demanded the country's annexation, the proper course would be to open the issue to international discussion. Even if Japan seized Korea, Russia should not consider it a casus belli.
Following the "war crisis," a second neutrality scheme was attempted by Witte himself. In July 1901 , when his ideas were accepted as the basis for a plan for the three-stepped evacuation of Manchuria with some reservations, he approached the Japanese Minister in St.Petersburg and suggested, unofficially, a conditional arrangement regarding the crucial Korean problem. Russia, he said, would agree to a settlement making Korea a neutral area, but allow Japan the right to supply the Korean government with administrative and fmancial advisers as well as with a chief of police. In return, Iapan would officially recognize Russia's preponderance in Manchuria. Witte's practical proposals would have conceded Japan"s demands in Korea with some reservations and normalized relations with China.
The main concern of Wiitte's counterpart, however, was Korea, and for Japan it was seen as matter of life and death for Japan to keep Russia out of Korea. Japan could not question the actions of Russia in Manchuria merely on the basis of the London Times revelations of reported Russo-Chinese secret negotiations to consolidate Russia's occupation of Manchuria. By tying in the Manchurian question with Korea they hoped to ascertain Russia's intentions. The Russian proposal ended in failure because Japan would not enter into an agreement concerning Korea until the fate of Manchuria was decisively settled.
Russia did not take this to mean a breakdown in negotiations. In Decernber 1901, while the question of a military retreat from Manchuria was a heated subject of discussion between Russia and China, Witte suggested more specific neutrality terms in St.Petersburg, in talks with Ito, Iapan's former Premier. It is evident that the Russians accepted the Japanese demands with respect to Korea only with the following qualifications: guarantees to maintain Korea's independence, not to use any part of Korean territory for strategic purposes, and not to hinder Russia's free passage through the Korea Strait. In return, Russia was to be left with a free hand in Manchuria. On the other hand, Ito brought with him an itemized plan setting forth Japan's desire for a free hand in Korea commercially, industrially, militarily and politically, as well as offering a guarantee that the country would not be used for military purposes against Russia. In the end, Russia's final plan was refused by the Japanese government. Japan felt compelled to conclude an alliance with England which would provide it with the guarantees it needed for primacy over Korea rather than negotiate an agreement with Russia which would have hindered it in attaining this goal.
The last secret attempt by Russia to achieve Korea's neutrality was the proposal for the "Neutralization of Korea under the joint guarantee of the Three Powers, Russia, Japan, and America." This plan was aborted almost as soon as Russia had begun proposing it, mainly because America had already made a decision not to interfere in a matter being pursued by the Japanese government. At the time lapan questioned Russia"s approaches to America. It is evident that with the first scheduled evacuation in Manchuria coming soon, Witte probably considered the plan as a way of placating America and to encouraging them to develop a new understanding regarding Korea. To restrict Russia's activities in Manchuria and in support of the Anglo-Iapanese Alliance, the United States demanded the "Open Door" policy in China. It should be also noted that the fmal neutralization scheme proposed in September 1902 was a more concrete version of the plan "under the joint guarantee of the Powers' which had been formally proposed in January 1901.
The main feature of the negotiations on Korea's neutralization between Russia and Japan was that the Russian proposals were repeatedly rejected by the Japanese, who were always one step ahead of Russia. The pattern of Russia's abortive schemes for Korean neutrality did not change in official discussions on the Manchurian and Korean questions after August 1903, the period of so-called "war diplomacy." From the Japanese point of view, "the neutralization of Korea" meant the sacrifice of its position on the peninsula. In fact, Japan, not yet viewing itself as a fully independent actor, had the support of England and America behind it. Agreeing to anti-Russian common interests, the Western powers did not stint in their promises of diplomatic support to Japan. It can be surmised that the failure of Russia's schemes to neutralize Korea, aimed at putting lapan's imperialistic ambitions to rest, was a by-product of general trends in power politics in East Asia since the last decades of the nineteenth century.

PA bans all Israel products from its markets amid coronavirus fears
April 6, 2020 at 1:13 pm | Published in: Coronavirus, Israel, Middle East, News, Palestine
Empty streets and closed shops are seen after a curfew was announced by authorities as a measure against coronavirus (COVID-19), in Ramallah, West Bank on 23 March 2020 [Issam Rimawi/Anadolu Agency]
The Palestinian Authority (PA) is banning the import of all types of Israeli products in its effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
The new move, decided yesterday, comes after the Jerusalem Governor Adnan Ghaith warned Arab residents of Jerusalem not to risk purchasing goods or used items from Israelis on the eve of the Jewish Holiday of Passover, as they may be contaminated.
Issued by PA Minister of National Economy Khaled Al-Osaily, the restriction on Israeli imports came amid a spike in coronavirus cases in Palestine.
Today, 15 new coronavirus cases were confirmed in the occupied West Bank, raising the total number of known infections in Palestine to 252, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
Al-Osaily warned that anyone who violates the new directive will be held legally accountable, reported the Israeli newspaper the Jerusalem Post.
READ: Israeli settlements are 'epicentres' of coronavirus outbreak
He also added that his ministry, together with the PA security forces, has been working to implement a law that combats settlement products, which was approved by PA President Mahmoud Abbas in 2010.
In the past, the PA banned the entry of settlement products into Palestinian markets, in response to Israel having stopped Palestinian agricultural produce from being sold.
The trade crisis started in September when Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh announced the PA would stop importing beef from Israel, as part of a drive to reduce Palestinian economic dependence on the occupation state.
It had only returned to normal earlier this year after the PA lifted the ban.

It was DD's birthday this week, so I asked her what kind of birthday cake she wanted. Son Number One had a brief flirtation with a glamorous new creation from Mary Berry, complete with cream-cheese frosting for his recent birthday, but DD wanted the usual double-chocolate cake. I made it, and we did the whole candle bit – very satisfying, in every meaning of the word.
Unfortunately, DD didn't have room to pack the remaining cake when she went back to university. The plan was to freeze it in slices, but that didn't happen. She left it here, and now not much of it is left! It's such an easy recipe and so good, I'll make another one to celebrate the day she comes back again. That'll be after her finals, so it'll be a double celebration, to go with the double-chocolate cake.
One of DD's presents was the DVD of The Hobbit. I sat through the whole film trying to remember where I'd seen "Kili" before – of course, it was Aidan Turner, who was in Being Human a few years ago.
This weekend I'm taking a break to try and get the garden up together. After two years of terrible weather and back-to-back-deadlines, my poor garden has reverted to long grass. The wildlife loves it, but it's nice to have some parts where we can sit outside without feeling we're in a jungle.
This week, I'm offering the chocolate birthday cake recipe free for new subscribers to my newsletter. The next edition of that will be out in May – to sign up, just email me at christinahollis@hotmail.co.uk with the word "Subscribe" in the subject line.


« The Star endorses WHO?
And the Star's influential, award-winning editorial board scores again.
Well, like I said in the post, I think Canady benefitted from the endorsement. I don't know if it was responsible for pushing her to third place, but it certainly helped. Also, the endorsement of Glynn cost Miller some votes. He would at least have been a closer fourth.
All in all, it was a fantastic election, and I'm proud to say I tagged Jolie and Quinton as the only two "live" candidates.
Funny how the KC power elite always gets the exact results they want. Two lackluster candidates with basically the same track record of consistent handouts to their donors. Yea, I guess Lucas wants to reign in the tax incentives for developers because of course, he along with Justus has been giving them a free ride at our expense all along.
The real problem with the shrinking Star staff was down ballot. I only found out last week that Platte County had a 1/2 cent sales tax on the ballot for a new jail and additional quarters for the sheriff and county attorney's staff. I only found out because my mail carrier mis-delivered an advertising flier for one of my neighbors promoting the tax. I am sure a number of my fellow Platte Country voters went to the polls and said what is this? The no's crushed the proposal.
I was able to find out after spending time digging into it that because the Platte County Commission has tanked the counties' bond rating (because they refuse the pay for the Zona Rosa bonds previous commissions agreed to pay for), that this plan was going to cost substantially more than if bonds could be issued and then paid off.
That is the type of thing that doesn't get covered because of the shrinking Star staff.
How many other local ballot issues had similar neglected coverage?
Bill Hirt, you're exactly right. I was a bureau reporter for The Star for 20 years and we took our zoned Election Guide assignments seriously. In my case, I not only covered elections for the Election Guide, which was published less than a week before a given election, but I covered council races and ballot issues extensively for our zoned editions. The Star no longer has the resources to do that and the community suffers as a result. Sadly, the honchos at McClatchy could care less about this dearth of election coverage. As long as they're getting their million dollar salaries and five-figure monthly housing allowances, darkness doesn't matter to them.
Ditto Bill and Mike. I wonder what the Star thinks is its audience. Shrinking Jackson County, it appears. Jackson, 699K. Clay 243K, Platte 101K, Cass 104K, Lafayette 33K., and on the Kansas side, Johnson 691K and Wyandotte 165K. So in this gross depiction of our KC metro, leaving out Douglas County and such, we have 700K in Jackson County and 1,337K on the periphery. Almost twice as many in the surrounding counties as the core of KC. How can a supposed major metro paper totally ignore two thirds of its population and expect to have any subscribers?

Reflective Essay:
Being in Virtual Reality, or Now I'm a BelieVR.
– Colleen Macklin
I admit, I was very skeptical of the recent resurgence of VR. For one, I've been around long enough to see it go in and out of fashion. In addition, it made me sick. Literally. Finally, much of my work—social and physical games often played without any technology at all[1]—focus on reality, not virtuality. In light of my interest in connecting people through play, VR seemed isolationist, cutting us off from the people and world around us with goggles, gloves and headphones.[2] Ever hang out with someone while they are VR-ing? It's awkward.
But as I considered the topic for this essay, a story came across my feed—a set of suggestions for game designers in an article titled "Rethinking the player avatar in VR."[3] It looks at the conundrum of avatar representation in VR, where your sense of who you are is, well, complicated. To grossly simplify, you are who you play. It got me thinking… what if instead of thinking about VR as simply a more immersive form of storytelling or games, we think of VR as an entirely new way of b eing?
To get there, let's talk about videogames and fee ling. Not f eelings (which videogames certainly evoke) but the actual "feel" of videogames. As a game designer, I make little systems (games) that generate play. And those systems come to life through actions—what the player gets to do based on the rules of the game and who they are (both in the game and outside of it). Something that all videogames have is "game feel." Game feel is the tactile sensation we get when we manipulate a virtual object. Game designer and game feel expert Steve Swink describes it as "the real-time control of virtual objects in a simulated space, with interactions emphasized by polish."[4] Or, in the words of sociology professor and pianist David Sudnow,
"The full sequencing, calibrating, caressing potentials of human hands now create sights, sounds, and movements. […] "All the customary boundaries get blurred when you're painting paragraphs, performing etchings, sketching movies, and graphing music.
I was hooked."[5]This passage from the poetic ode to the videogame Pilgrim in the Microworld, describes Sudnow's thoughts as he plays his first videogame. These were early impressions of a new medium, written before we really had the words to describe them. The "feel" of playing videogames, of that responsively addictive eye-hand-controller-screen loop is what brings us back for more. Now, what about VR? What happens when we combine game feel and audiovisual immersion? Is there a "VR game feel"?
For me and many many others, VR game feel is nauseating. Then I tried a different platform and I felt fine—great, even. I loved the feel of the new clumsy cartoon hands I had in Job Simulator, knocking over my coffee and slamming the lid on the xerox machine. It felt like these were my cool new hands! The feel was as physical when I switched to a game that dropped me on a precarious platform in the sky,[6] but with a heavy dose of panic. "Fear of heights feel." Sweaty palms, quickened pulse, a strong desire to pull off the headset (I did). In VR, game feel finds its way beyond the tips of fingers on the controller to stomachs, hearts, skin and inner ears. Of course, videogames can quicken the pulse and make us sweat, but with VR it feels different—more embodied.
It seems it really is. This has to do with the science of how our brains and bodies work together to adjust to new representations of our bodies, or to use the fancy terminology coined by VR 1.0 pioneer Jaron Lanier, "homuncular flexibility."[7] Homuncular flexibility is how our brain adjusts to inhabiting a virtual body that is different from our own. The homunculus is a concept used since the 1930s to describe the "map" our brains use of our bodies.[8] Through experiments, scientists have discovered that this map is incredibly flexible. You might have seen this in action through that fun neuroscientific party trick, wherein a person is optically tricked into adopting a rubber hand as their own, and jump when it is hit with a hammer.[9] Studies have shown that our brain's flexibility in adopting new limbs extends to adapting to entirely different human and nonhuman bodies, with abilities such as flying. Studies using VR demonstrate the "Proteus Effect"—taking on the psychology of inhabiting a different body and unconsciously changing our behavior to conform to it.[10]
If we can inhabit other bodies and adapt to new ways of acting and being, can we learn what it's like to be an other, whether that other is a differently embodied human, or not human at all? The science seems promising, and the art has begun to explore these ideas in VR projects from Nonny de la Peña's vivid simulation of police brutality in U se of Force[11] to the eerie disorientation of David O'Reilly's C haracter Mirror.[12]
Rather than provide answers at a time when we are still trying to understand it, I'll restate my earlier question with a slight shift: Is VR a first step towards posthuman being[13], letting us not only experience the effects of different bodies, but to actually inhabit different beings—if temporarily?[14] Like the cyborg in Donna Haraway's A Cyborg Manifesto, could VR enable us to surpass the rigidity of our own bodies and identities and in her words, f ulfill "the utopian dream of the hope for a monstrous world without gender?"[15] Perhaps it's an opportunity to queer our sense of self, to escape the boundaries we inhabit both physically and psychologically.[16] Game designer Robert Yang has the rallying call: "Artists and queers and weirdos need to hit VR now, and hit hard, before VR culture ends up as conservative as the worst of gamer culture."[17] Seeking explorers—pilgrims in this microworld—to push the boundaries of experience

Another day, another hack in the crypto world. This time EtherDelta, a popular exchange for buying cryptocurrencies, has suspended its service after it was apparently hit by an attacker.
EtherDelta is particularly notable for its selection of alt coins (from ICOs) which are often listed on its site before they hit other, higher profile exchanges. The exchange is also easy to use since it doesn't require user verification of any kind to commence trading, although it doesn't support fiat so all trades are crypto-to-crypto.
The company said it has "reason to believe" that intruders compromised its server.
1/2 *IMPORTANT* we have reason to believe that there had been malicious attacks that temporarily gained access to @etherdelta DNS server. We are investigating this issue right now - in the meantime please *DONOT* use the current site.
A second tweet suggests that the attacker managed to spoof its domain — minus its Twitter feed and chat interface — a move that, if let unchecked, could enable it to empty user wallets. At this point, it isn't clear what impact, if any, the apparent breach has had on EtherDelta users.
2/2 *BE AWARE* The imposer's app has no CHAT button on the navigation bar nor the offical Twitter Feed on the bottom right. It is also populated with a fake order book.
EtherDelta has trading volume of around $11 million per day, according to figures from Coinmarketcap.com. The metric, which is just one data for assessing exchanges, would rank it inside the world's top 75 trading sites, according to the website.
This news follows the closure of Korean exchange Youbit, which announced it is filing for bankruptcy after being hacked twice this year, reportedly by North Korean attackers. Europe-based NiceHash said it lost tens of millions of dollars from an attack last week. Tether, a startup that works with exchanges, said it lost $31 million last month.
The heat isn't just coming from hackers, the soaring value of bitcoin and demand for crypto has also brought havoc to more established names.
Coinbase, the world's highest-valued and best-funded exchange, is under pressure for its botched launch of Bitcoin Cash this week. The company is investigating claims of insider trading, but it appears that word of the launch leaked out days before after Reddit users spotted evidence of Bitcoin Cash's addition on a Coinbase API key permissions screen.
Just another day in cryptoland then.
Note: Jon owns a small amount of cryptocurrency. Enough to gain an understanding, not enough to change a life.

In 2018 the Norwegian Institute at Athens conducted the first season of a 5-year (2018-2022) project of archaeological excavations at the site of Gourimadi in southern Euboea, Greece. The project is organized under the aegis of the Norwegian Institute of Athens with a permit from the Greek Ministry of Culture and Sports. The project is directed by Dr. Zarko Tankosic and co-directed by Drs. Fanis Mavridis and Paschalis Zafeiriadis.
The site of Gourimadi is located in southern part of the island of Euboea, near the Katsaronio village, c. 6 km from the modern town of Karystos. The site was discovered during an earlier survey of the area (Norwegian Archaeological Survey in the Karystia, NASK) and immediately recognized as important, based on the composition of the artifacts collected from its surface (e.g., large quantities of obsidian including more than 50 projectile points, pottery that indicated the existence of multiple chronological strata, metallurgical remains in form of small quantities of slag and an excellently preserved bronze axe, etc.). Particularly in chronological terms, the surface pottery scatter indicated the habitation at the site during the final Neolithic-Early Bronze Age I (FN-EBA, respectively) transition, which is elusive both in the Karystia and the Aegean. The location of the site was also indicative of its importance, as it forms a natural hillfort with excellent vistas of not only all access routes but also of the entire region, including most sections of southern Euboea, east Attica, and the northern Cycladic islands of Andros, Tinos, Giaros, and Kea.
According to the size of the archaeological material surface scatter, the maximum extent of the site is c. 4 ha, although it is likely that the actual subsurface remains cover a somewhat smaller area. The site extends on the summit and north, west, and south slopes of a natural rock (schist) outcrop called locally Gourimadi, which means 'large rock' in the local Arvanitika dialect. In terms of surface artifact density, the southern slopes, especially those below the main summit of the hill, is where we encountered the thickest concentrations of the material during the survey, followed by the summit and the western and northern slopes.
In 2018 season we began the excavation of two trenches: trench 1 (7X4m) covering the top of the summit and trench 2 (4X4m) on the southern section of the summit, in the area where the ground begins to slope.
The Norwegian Naxos survey started in October 2010 with a campaign to survey and record the archaeology of Kastro Apalirou: The fortified mountain town that might have functioned as the capital of Naxos in the mid to late Byzantine periods. The project is a collaboration (synergasia) between the Norwegian Institute (University of Oslo) and the Ephorate of Antiquities for the Cyclades. The project is also joined by teams from the Universities of Newcastle and Edinburgh.
The survey focuses on how economic and political changes can be seen in the landscape, and in particular the changes that occurred from the Middle Byzantine period (565 -1081 AD) to the Venetian period (1206-mid 16th century AD).
The main objective of the survey is to map and document Kastro Apalirou and to understand the relationship between settlement patterns, political authority and the economy of the island. The first task is to document the extant remains on Kastro Apalirou, which are made up of a fortified circuit wall, over 40 cisterns some of which are exceptionally large, a religious-complex, and numerous buildings. The main structures have been recorded by total station survey, and a plan of the site has been built up. A photographic survey has been made and extensive field notes have also been taken. In order to understand the function and form of the kastro there are several questions concerning the political, administrative and religious structure of Naxos that need to be answered. What functions did Apalirou have? Was it a refuge for the secular elite in times of threat? Or was it settled over longer periods? Was Apalirou a defensive site for Naxos alone? Or did it perform a wider role in the Cyclades? Whilst the main objective and focus is Kastro Apalirou we intend to expand our field work to the surrounding landscape and create a laboratory of historical and archaeological research on the transition from Antiquity to the Middle Ages.
The island of Naxos in the Cyclades has for long been renowned for its rich Byzantine heritage, and in particular the numerous, decorated churches. The settlement pattern of Byzantine Naxos has been far less studied, although some important centers have for long been known and structures are indeed still visible. In 2010 an archaeological team from The Museum of Cultural History and the Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History at the University of Oslo initiated a pioneer project of mapping and documentation of the most important of these centers, Kastro Apalirou.
In the aftermath of the 4th Crusade, the Venetian Marco Sanudo in 1206 or 1207 landed on Naxos and immediately laid siege to what seems to have been the main Byzantine fortress on the island, Kastro Apalirou.After a five-week siege, Sanudo conquered the site, took over the island and later expanded his realm to the neighboring islands to create a Venetian and Catholic Duchy in the central Cyclades. The Venetian conquest was followed by a feudal reorganization of the islands.
When Kastro Apalirou was founded as the main fortified centre on Naxos is another and far more difficult question to answer. Since it is evident that this fortified hilltop site in the interior is far easier to defend than any coastal settlements on Naxos, a foundation in the 7. – 8.th century AD seems possible, at a time when the Byzantine empire had largely lost her supremacy at sea. Raiding and piracy grew out of control and as a consequence many coastal regions and islands in the Aegean were depopulated and left deserted until stable conditions returned.

Katsaronio Plain, located north-west of the town of Karystos. The project lasted from 2012 to 2016 and is in the study and publication phase as of 2017.
The Norwegian Archaeological Survey in the Karystia was a five-year long project of systematic archaeological investigation in the Karystia, which is the part of southern Euboea centered on the modern town of Karystos. The long-term goal of the project was to record and reconstruct the cultural landscapes in the Karystia and the ways the landscape was constructed, lived in, and used by people inhabiting the Karystia in the past, from the prehistoric times to the present. The Katsaronio plain was hitherto virtually unknown in archaeological terms, since very little research has been done there in the past. The primary objectives of the project were to explore the long-term connection between people and the landscape they inhabit and to gather evidence that reflects the past (particularly prehistoric) sociopolitical organization of Karystian communities and their access to and management of agricultural resources. Additionally, the project included the search for evidence for the earliest known (Late Neolithic) settlement of the area and it also functioned as an informal field school where students of archaeology and classics from Norway and elsewhere can obtain field experience. More than 100 students, volunteers, and professional archaeologists from Norway and more than a dozen other countries have taken part in this project.
NASK was organized as an intensive diachronic pedestrian surface survey. The entire target area of approximately 20 square kilometers was surveyed by team members spaced ten meters apart, assuring maximum coverage and accuracy. Concentrations of archaeological materials (termed findspots), features (immovable objects such as walls, pits, wells), significant natural resources (e.g., springs), and individual finds of any kind (e.g., pottery, chipped and polished stone, metals, etc.) were recorded using a GPS device and their location and other information associated with them (i.e., their context) is entered into a database, which was analyzed using GIS software. Special attention is given to findspots, as likely surface indications of buried archaeological sites; all findspots were surveyed in greater detail for evidence of differential spatial distribution of certain kinds of artifacts and/or features. The project introduced the use of Android-based tablets to the survey to excellent results in terms of speed and recording accuracy.
The project managed to discover and record 99 new archaeological sites in the 20 sq km survey area. The sites range in date from the Final Neolithic to Ottoman and in size from a handful of sherds and lithics to massive concentrations of archaeological artifacts and features spread over several hectares. The project also discovered sites that will likely be explored in the future through archaeological excavation (e.g. Gourimadi prehistoric site).

Background: The original Exodus line was created by Torano to commemorate the exodus that occurred in Cuba during the 1959 communist revolt, specifically with many cigar families fleeing the country to eventually set up operations elsewhere.
Appearance (0-20): The Torano Exodus 1959 has a nice rich looking Brazilian wrapper on it, but it shows quite a few smaller veins. They are nothing I am worried about when lighting up, but are worth noting. There are a few nicks in the wrapper and just giving it a quick glance you can see the wrapper itself is a bit on the thin side. On the inside there are absolutely some nice looking tobaccos distributed throughout. The dual bands have a nice elegant matching copper and black color scheme, embossed with the Torano insignia.
Construction (0-20): I don't like the fact that the wrapper has already cracked a bit but when I felt along it the actual culprit is that it is both thin and delicate. Because of that I didn't want to apply too much pressure to the stick at all. So from a packing standpoint, I can feel a few small gaps where there may be an issue but can't determine how big the gaps are without possibly messing up the wrapper. Despite the potential pitfalls, the cut was completely clean. The draw was slightly loose and remained that way throughout. The burn line was also pretty sharp, but the ash didn't hold terrible long before dropping off.
Strength (0-20): Medium to full, but falls a little short - sticking in the medium realm pretty solidly. However the medium strength works best for this cigar.
Flavor (0-20): When sparking this one up there is no doubt that this thing has some rich flavors waiting there for you. Deep earthy flavors and rich tobacco are mixed with a very distinct peppery spice. These continue through the first third with just the slightest bit of sweetness. Working through the cigar, the same flavors continue to be present, but in differing amounts, each taking a turn at the forefront. The flavors given enough complexity to be satisfied, but not so many that that it feels forced - making this just simply work.
Value (0-20): For the cost of $5.60, its a decent stick to snag. The flavors are there to make this worth the price, even despite some of the other issues that you may have with appearance and construction.
Overall (0-100): I know the box pressed version of this stick earned a whopping 93 from Cigar Aficionado, but for me it doesn't quite reach that kind of peak. In fact, it falls quite a bit short of that rating mainly due to the construction and appearance. The wrapper was extremely delicate and the packing was a little off which hurt the burn, hold of the ash, and overall experience. But that same wrapper is a large reason the flavors are so spot on for the smoke.... which of course is a redeeming factor here. The flavors and strength work well as a whole, with nothing overpowering happening and nothing too complex. The mantra here may be that simple is not always inferior, since it all works - pepper, earth, rich tobacco, and sweetness all in just the right amounts. And a sub $6 price tag? Yes please. This is the type of cigar that I am willing to fight through any issues on due to it being an affordable quality smoke.


When Cumberland Buildings first started in 2012, the idea was straightforward: Build storage buildings that are made of heavy-duty, durable, high quality materials. Simple! Ever since then, each building has been built in the tradition of Mennonite craftsmanship and manufactured in the United States by our highly-skilled American craftsmen.

Family of woman declared dead, later found alive sues city of Southfield
$50 million lawsuit filed against city, paramedics
SOUTHFIELD, Mich. – The family of a 20-year-old Southfield woman declared dead, then found alive, is asking for $50 million in a lawsuit against the city of Southfield.
Timesha Beauchamp's mother called 9-1-1 on Aug. 23 when her daughter, who has cerebral palsy, had trouble breathing after several attempts to revive her. Southfield fire paramedics declared her dead -- but she was later found alive at a Detroit Funeral home.
The Law Office of Geoffrey Fieger filed a federal lawsuit against the city of Southfield on Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.
Read: Attorney: Family member told medics Southfield woman they pronounced dead was breathing
Read: 'She's still breathing': Hear 911 call from moment workers realized Southfield woman declared dead was alive
Read: 4 first responders placed on leave after 20-year-old Southfield woman declared dead, later found alive
"Three or four hours later (at the funeral home), when they unzipped the bag getting ready to embalm her, her eyes were open," Fieger said. "She was breathing and she was alive."
Fieger said he has never seen a case like it.
"How these paramedics came up with the idea that Timesha had died, and left her in the state that she was in -- without oxygen -- is beyond me," he said.
The attorney says that's why his office filed the multi-million dollar lawsuit against the paramedics involved and the city of Southfield.
"It's the paramedics and the agency, the city of Southfield, they work for. Under federal law, the agency is probably not going to be as responsible as the individual paramedics," Fieger said.
Fieger says that Beauchamp is still in poor condition following the tragic incident.
"The doctors tells us she's gravely, gravely ill. She sustained severe lack of oxygen -- brain damage as a result of being left without oxygen all those hours," he said. "Today, weeks later, it's a touch and go situation in whether she will survive."


This conversation was one of the first ones I ever dreamed of having so you could hear this guest's story. His life is that of the ultimate rogue - making both good and bad decisions - but learning every step of the way.
In April I sat down with nerves blazing to talk to a long-time hero of mine, Lance Mackey, a 4-time Iditarod champion. He's the only person to win the Iditarod and Yukon Quest in the same year - and he did it twice.
"Iditarod" and "Yukon Quest" may well be gibberish to you…you see, Lance is a dog sled musher and leads a team of dogs through Alaskan Wilderness for miles and miles and days and days. He also has an award-winning documentary that's been made about his life. In addition to that, and maybe even more importantly - Lance is a throat cancer survivor, and ex drug addict who spent most of his life running from what, it seems, he was born to do.
Today's story for you, the rogue one dreaming of having a life of extraordinary, is one about a prodigal. Maybe you think you could never return to a thing you once did. Maybe you've run away searching for answers and have found yourself lost. Maybe you're afraid of what's possible. Or scared that your dreams will never come true. Take heart...there's a life past the confusion. And Lance's story proves it.


A second formative conference was held in New York in September 1985, where the organization was incorporated as a nonprofit trade association, with TUTS serving as an umbrella organization, and a board of directors was elected. Seminars were held on such topics as rights and royalties, audience development, and "Actors' Equity – Future Directions and Growth," and George Abbott was presented with a lifetime achievement award. Gwen Verdon hosted abridged readings of four new musicals – Legs Diamond, Rags, Grovers Corners and You Can't Take It With You.
The new board met again in New York in January 1986, followed by a full membership meeting in Los Angeles in April 1986. Four more readings of new musicals – The Anastasia Game, Golden Boy, King of Country and Back in Town – were presented. NAMTP's by-laws were adopted, a dues structure accepted and directives given to hire staff and open an office in New York City. NAMTP's first Executive Director was hired in February 1987 to coordinate the activities of the Alliance and to develop and implement programs and services for the membership. The two original concerns of its founders remain uppermost on the Alliance's agenda: the need for more new works and finding a way to produce musical theatre more affordably.
In 1987, the National Alliance of Musical Theater Producers embarked on a cooperative production of Drood to play a 20-week tour in spring/summer 1988 with joint financing from the group. The show played engagements of 1-3 weeks at Theater of the Stars (Atlanta), Theatre Under The Stars (Houston), Dallas Summer Musicals (Dallas), The Muny (St. Louis), Starlight Theater (Indianapolis), Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera (Pittsburgh), Denver Performing Arts Center (Denver), Colonial Theatre (Boston), Bushnell Theatre (Hartford), Shubert Performing Arts Center (New Haven) and the Morris Mechanic Theatre (Baltimore).
The seeds planted in these early NAMT events have grown, with the core programs of the Festival and two annual conferences continuing to this day.
In 1989, the Alliance changed its name to the National Alliance for Musical Theatre, and the first annual Festival of New Musicals was produced in New York, with the conference taking place as a separate event. The Festival has been presented annually since then. Submissions are now open to any writer and the Festival audience is made up of leading professionals from throughout the theatre world. As of 2017, the Festival has introduced 334 musicals and 543 writers in our Festivals and Songwriters Showcases to the people with the resources and expertise to move these shows forward. More than three-fourths of the Festival selections have gone on to subsequent developmental and full productions, been printed in publishers' catalogues and recorded on cast albums.
NAMT now boasts 160 member organizations and 40 individual members, in 31 U.S. states and abroad, all sharing our mission to advance musical theatre by nurturing the creation, development and production of new musicals.
NAMT's founders and past presidents were honored at Show Off!, a benefit concert celebrating 25 years of the Festival of New Musicals in 2013.

A Muslim's Response to the 25,000 Anti-Islam Protesters in Germany
This comment was posted to reddit on Jan 23, 2015 at 6:47 am and was deleted within 13 minutes.
'Yet did you know that Turkey, Indonesia, and Bangladesh, all Muslim majority states have had more elected female heads of state than almost every other Western country?'
It is true that there have been seven female heads of state in Muslim-majority countries, but a closer inspection would reveal this has little to do with female empowerment and often has much more to do with the political power of certain families in under-developed parts of the world. It is well-known that Benazir Bhutto, a woman, was democratically elected in Pakistan. What is not as well-known is that her advancement had much to do with her family's power in her party (Pakistan People's Party) and little to do with female empowerment. Her father was once Prime Minister of Pakistan, and she was elected to the position fresh from her exile in the West with little political experience of her own. After her assassination, her nineteen year old son assumed leadership of her political party — as was expected by many familiar with the power their family continued to hold.
Similarly, Sheikh Hasina (the current Prime Minister of Bangladesh) is the daughter of the founding father of the country, Sheikh Mujibur-Rehman. Khaleda Zia, the predecessor of Sheikh Hasina, assumed power over her party after the assassination of her husband — the seventh President of Bangladesh. In addition, Megawati Sukarnopotri, former President of Indonesia, was the daughter of Sukarno, the founding father of Indonesia. To anyone familiar with women's rights around the world, neither Pakistan, Bangladesh, nor Indonesia can be considered states with a stellar track record. It is likely that in these cases, the power of political dynasties was the key factor in their success.
Furthermore, female heads of state were elected democratically in Turkey, Kyrgyzstan, and Kosovo. But, as before, a closer inspection reveals a complicated reality. All three states are secular, where religion was forcibly uprooted from the government — due to Atatürk (in the case of Turkey) or Communism (in the cases of Kyrgyzstan and Kosovo).
Predictably, the writer fails to mention any of this.

how do you feel emotionally during ramadan? I'm a Muslim, ask me something - a time of humility for atheism & liberalism Why are there extreme groups such as ISIS, Jihad, and others yet Christians often don't? What an insult to women in Iran. ex-Muslims, what is your controversial opinion about the ex-muslim community? made the right decision not to convert? Thanks to the stupid "eat halal" rule, Muslim families can't have fun on vacation How about teaching men to treat women equally with respect and control their sexual desires? But of course Islam has a better solution. I find it interesting that Muslims lose it over LGBT but are literally spending ridiculous amount of time and energy defending pedophilia in Islam Is Everyone in This Sub an Athest? Why do so many WESTERN women convert to Islam or DO THEY? this sub is filled with right wing conservatives who some were never Muslims and want to push political agenda and think they can use exMuslims as weapons Rant - annoyed by converted childhood(ex)friend praising women rights in Islamic countries Views on Quran burnings

by Strong Water Signals." (1991) J. Magn. Reson. 91, 450.
Often, 2D spectra acquired in H2O using water suppression have a large dispersion component to the residual water peak. The dispersion line has large "wings" that extend on each side of the peak, and this can create substantial baseline distortions. This cannot be removed by digital filtering. By subtracting out the dispersion component, these broad wings are eliminated, giving a much flatter baseline and contour plots with less pronounced "zipper" appearance.
Compare the 2 pairs of plots below (single slice and stacked plots). The first plot shows the broad wings caused by the dispersion component of the residual water peak. The second one shows the much flatter baseline obtained after removing the dispersion component. In the stacked plot, notice also the modulation in the amplitude of the peak at 4.3 ppm caused by the variation in phase of the dispersion component of the water peak, which is eliminated when the dispersion component is removed.
wo – frequency of the center of the water peak. The peak must be close to zero frequency (center of the spectrum), as this parameter is adjusted over only a small range.
This fitted calculated dispersion line is subtracted from the entire spectrum (all real data points).
The fit can be made faster by using default values of T2 and/or wo.
This can be used in Arrayed Mode to perform the fit on each slice with the single command.

Critical Thinking for Educated Citizenship
Monique Volman and Geert ten Dam
Among the competences that are considered necessary for a democratic way of living are "consideration for others," "helping others," and "caring for each other" (Westheimer and Kahne 2004). In the past few decades, however, it has been emphasized that a democratic, pluriform society not only requires citizens to be prepared to make their own contributions to society, but also to do that in a critical way (see Ten Dam and Volman 2004; Wardekker 2001). Nowadays people are not expected to "know their place" but to "determine their own position." Of course, the extent to which a "critical" approach is valued and by whom differs, but "to be critical" has become an undeniable part of Western culture; a critical approach is frequently appreciated more than subservient accommodation. In this vein, definitions of "good citizenship" imply that citizens are willing and able to critically evaluate different perspectives, explore strategies for change and reflect upon issues of justice, (in)equality, and democratic engagement in addition to a capacity to function in a socially accepted and responsible manner within a community (Westheimer 2008). This also requires making choices and knowing why you are making that choice, respecting the choices and opinions of others, communicating about these, thereby forming your own opinion, and making it known. The interest since the 1980s in "critical thinking" as an educational goal reflects these new competences that citizenship in modern society demands.
In this chapter we focus on teaching critical thinking as a citizenship competence in higher education. First, we will give a brief overview of the various approaches to critical thinking and the strategies that have been proposed for teaching critical thinking in the last century. Building upon the premise that critical thinking can best be learned in meaningful contexts and in collaboration with others students (Ten Dam and Volman 2004), we then take a further step by focusing on the concept of communities of learners as a pedagogical concept. We differentiate between a socio-constructivist approach and a sociocultural approach and explore their potential for learning critical thinking as a citizenship competence.

Amazon's Choice for "bobs red mill garbanzo flour"
Ships from and sold by Fun Stuff For Sale.
1.0 out of 5 starsHOT MESS. BUYER BEWARE.
I wish I could get every diabetic to give garbanzo bean flour a shot. Replaces flour beautifully for thickening gravies, coatiing baked fish and so muck more. It's mild flavor is fantastic and is such a wonderful improvement over flour or cornstarch for anyone. Won't be without.
This is a great substitute floor for making savory foods. We need to be gluten free, so we use this floor for cooking dinner, subbing it for regular wheat flour. It has a slightly nutty flavor, so be aware of that - but that taste is very nice with meat, especially if you want to fry anything. Price is right, this product is $4.99 in stores so the Amazon price of roughly $10 for two packages is in line with what I expect. Very pleased with this flour but it's no longer available in local stores, hence ordering off Amazon.
Great product. I use it several times a month when I make a rue to thicken a vegan soup I make. It's filling and creates a nice body for the soup. When added for body to a water-based soup though, it does not freeze well. Too many water molecules form and it seems to break the soup up. This product works well for baking as well and for chickpea burgers.
These can make great pancakes! I'm glad I found these as an alternative. I don't tolerate legumes well all the time, but those who like hummus will love this!
I made zucchini pancakes and they are delicious . I used them as a bread for my hamburger-- yum.
This is difficult to find in the grocery stores. I made chocolate chip cookies with this flour and they turned out a tad bit grainy, but way better than anticipated. This recipe is GF and Vegan so was amazed that 3 of 4 granddaughters asked for a second one.
5.0 out of 5 starsVery versatile flour.
Used to make Indian/African pancakes with celery and appropriate spices, served with a celery raita. The flour was easy to work with and the results very tasty. Will definitely keep this flour on hand at all times. Then, used the flour and different seasonings for sautéed red snapper. Added a very nice dimension of flavor.

There is an increasing effort by high end boat builders to eliminate visible fasteners for a more aesthetically pleasing "clean" look on new boat builds.
There is an increasing effort by high end boat builders to eliminate visible fasteners for a more aesthetically pleasing "clean" look on new boat builds. There are ways to accomplish this (designing products with interior (hidden) mounting points, using rear mounting studs, etc.) , however these options add cost and complicate installations. An alternative solution is utilizing color matched powder coated fasteners. While not completely hidden, powder coated fasteners blend in with the product much better and provide a significant aesthetic improvement with almost no increase in cost and no change in installation method.
