(Note: Politicians and media try to hide the information in this article from you.)
Most people, including immigrants, want less immigration:
Gallup Poll: Only SEVEN PERCENT Of Americans Want More Immigration
According to this survey: "majority of Americans (54 percent), including 52 percent of Hispanics, said it ought to be half a million or fewer."
Three quarters of Britons want less immigration – survey
A poll of Germans found 83% Say Immigration is the Country's "Biggest Challenge".
In Europe, 52% want lower immigration levels.
According to Pew, "Huge majorities in both Greece (86%) and Italy (80%) say they want fewer immigrants allowed into their countries. More than half in the United Kingdom and France hold this view"
Most Canadians want limits on immigration: "70% of ... Canadian adults polled supported limits, and most Canadians who were born in another country (58%) agreed. Among those whose parents were not born in Canada, 66% were in support of limiting the number of...immigrants"
COST TO TAXPAYERS & WORKERS
According to the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine in the U.S.:
"Mass immigration costs government $296 billion a year, depresses wages"
"The data show that immigrants take more in benefits than they pay in taxes. Although immigrants do boost the size of the economy, the gains are heavily skewed toward the immigrants themselves and to wealthy investors — not to native-born workers who end up competing with the new arrivals."
"..."It reminds us, the big beneficiaries of immigrants are the immigrants themselves, and American business. The losers tend to be the poor"
According to Center for Immigration Studies, immigrants use substantially more welfare than natives:
According to think tank Migration Watch UK:
"Mass immigration is costing Britain £17BILLION each year"
According to the Fraser Institute in 2005/2006 of Canada:
"immigrants on average received an excess of $6,051 in benefits over taxes paid...fiscal burden in that year is estimated to be between $23.6 billion and $16.3 billion."
"These estimates are not changed by the consideration of other alleged benefits brought by immigrants."
According to Politiko of Denmark:
"Non-western immigrants cost the treasury 33 billion. kr. per year"
According to Reuters:
"Soaring asylum numbers force Sweden to cut costs, borrow more"
[Update on April 16, 2017] According National Economics Editorial:
"Refugees Will Cost Sweden $18.6 Billion This Year—9.3x Over-Budget"
The World Happiness Report reported that the happiest countries are the smallest or least populated.
Many immigrants move from over-populated countries to sparsely populated countries. Once they are in the new country, they do not want to see it become over-populated as well.
However, there are so many people in the developed world that it has become over-populated already. There are 500 million people on that tiny European continent.
Millions of commuters in LA and New York wish there were fewer people on the roads. There are signs of over-population in most countries, including the small Western countries. Even Canada, one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world, shows signs of over-population. The great lakes are polluted. Ontario needs to ship its garbage to Michigan. Much of the west is de-forested. Grand banks off Newfoundland, which used to be flushed with fish, have been nearly depleted. Canada needs to sell so much oil that their tar sands have become a huge polluter.
Most of the third world is exploding in population, causing the West to be used as a release valve. Some say that immigration into the West will help world poverty. This video explains how it will not. It will not make a tiny dent. If anything, it might worsen world poverty as the people who are most capable and likely to improve poor countries are leaving them.
This video explains how the current path of immigration will make the U.S. over-populated and worse off. It also states: "polls show that there was never a time when much more than 10% of Americans wanted higher immigration."
POPULATION and CORRUPTION
Based on these statistics, there is a positive correlation between population and corruption. The bigger the population, the more corrupt a country is. United States, with its excellent constitution and checks and balances, is still more corrupt than Canada.
Many tell you that immigration is needed because the West is not reproducing enough. This is a big lie. Japan does not believe they need immigration to compensate for their low native birth rates. This video explains why.
Countries should be reducing their populations, not increasing them. People in the developed world are the biggest consumers of the world resources. Thanks to them, we have many of the problems in the world, such as pollution and animal extinctions. Reducing their population is good for planet earth.
WHY DO POLITICIANS WANT IMMIGRATION?
Despite the heavy costs, politicians continue to increase their populations, by ramming more immigrants down the throats of their citizens. Why?
They get more votes. New immigrants tend to vote for the party that let them in. (This was a brilliant political strategy by Ted Kennedy when he changed the immigration policy in 1965.) Therefore, they see immigrants as a source of votes and job security (for the politicians, not for the voters).
They can get re-elected if they grow the economy (GDP). Growing the population grows the GDP.
As you can see, #1 is good for politicians, not for you.
# 2 is also good for politicians, not for you.
GDP is NOT the most important metric for the economic health of citizens. GDP PER CAPITA (per person) is. The U.S. has the biggest GDP, but Switzerland has a much bigger GDP PER CAPITA and Switzerland does not have nor need low-skilled, low-income workers. Switzerland is one of the happiest countries in the world and they do not need low-income immigrants to pick crops for them. China has a bigger GDP than Canada, Australia and European countries. Yet, China's people cannot emigrate fast enough to the smaller GDP countries. China will have a bigger GDP than the U.S., but Americans will still be happier than the Chinese because Americans have a bigger GDP PER CAPITA.
As this video shows, GDP PER CAPITA is not correlated to population growth. Countries can grow GDP PER CAPITA despite population decline. As this video shows, politicians and media have been lying for decades when they say that immigration is needed to support the aging population.
Most politicians do not know how to grow GDP PER CAPITA. Growing GDP is simpler. Just increase immigration. After decades of increasing immigration, GDP PER CAPITA has not grown much or at all for most Western countries. According to Pew, real income for the average American has been flat from 1964 to 2014. According to Mises, real income has fallen over the past 16 years. Therefore, all of this immigration has benefited mainly the politicians and not the citizens.
WHY DOES MEDIA AND CORPORATIONS WANT IMMIGRATION?
In addition to politicians, some of the media also push for immigration. Why? We can only speculate. Media is usually controlled by large corporations. They want to be able to hire foreign workers because they are cheaper for both high skilled and low skilled positions. Hence, they can increase their profits.
Also, by growing GDP for the country, large corporations can increase their revenue and profits, even if GDP PER CAPITA stays flat or goes down.
However, what is in the best interest of large corporations is not necessarily in the best interest of the majority of the population. By hiring foreign workers, they bypass many native workers.
Besides, Switzerland and Japan, have shown that foreign workers are not needed. They have little to no immigration. Yet, they continue to increase their GDP PER CAPITA, and Switzerland's GDP PER CAPITA ($79,242) is significantly higher than U.S.'s ($57,436) (source).
WINNERS from IMMIGRATION: Politicians, big corporations and foreigners (immigrants)
LOSERS from IMMIGRATION: Taxpayers and workers
Politicians are giving away pieces of the country to get votes or to help corporations, at the expense of workers and taxpayers. Essentially, politicians are stealing pieces of the country from the majority, to give them away to foreigners, to benefit a minority.
The need for immigration is a big lie pushed by the politicians, corporations and the media. Do not believe it.
Democracy is a myth. The people do not get what they want. Tell your politician what you want.

Aaron Mason, a guest on NBC's The Voice, performed live with band Rising Star recently at the Dreamcatcher at Viejas Casino & Resort in east San Diego County. Aaron was also recently recorded on-air performing with Eric Idol for Mountain Country 107.9 FM.
The performance photography of Aaron at Viejas Casino began with capturing him and Rising Star's rehearsal at Dreamcatcher. Checking lighting and the best camera positions to photograph his performance lasted the half hour rehearsal. Next up, the main concert with Rising Star. Aaron performed several songs wonderfully and the audience knew it. The dance floor was full as he and the band delivered great vocals and music.

Duke Researcher Brings Electricity, Magnetism to Depression Treatment
by Rose Hoban April 25, 2013 October 19, 2021
Duke researcher Sarah Lisbany talks to the Wake County chapter of NAMI about neuromodulation for depression.

Hollywood has used the images of electroconvulsive therapy, also known as ECT, to titillate and entertain for years. But a researcher from Duke University is hoping to change the frightening images that play in people's head when they hear about "shock therapy."

"The brain is an organ that responds to electricity," said Sarah Lisbany, chair of the Duke department of psychiatry. Lisbany spoke to 50 people from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) of Wake County on Monday about ongoing studies and clinical opportunities at the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences.
"Just like the heart, the brain can be targeted using electrical therapies that are often safe, and very effective," she told the crowd.
Each year, depression and other mood disorders like anxiety and bipolar disorder, as well as psychotic diseases like schizophrenia, affect one-quarter of Americans.
Unfortunately, the first-line treatment for moderate depression, antidepressant medications such as Prozac, are only about 50 percent effective for most patients. Often, a patient will try a course of medication then be moved on to another while waiting the requisite one to two months to see if the drugs alleviate their depression.
"These drugs are often the best treatment we can begin with for some patients," said Lisanby, "but if someone has failed a course of four different antidepressants, they need to look at other options."
Lisanby spoke about neuromodulation — the term used for therapies that use electricity and magnets to change brain circuits associated with mood disorders and mental illness. Unlike medication, which targets neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, neuromodulation targets nerve cells in the brain. The process is based on what psychiatry has gleaned from the last two decades of neuroscience: Depression isn't just about a lack of neurotransmitters; it's about faulty wiring in the brain and the shrinkage of brain structures.
"The really interesting thing about neuromodulation is that we can not only treat, which medications do, but also potentially cure mental illness," she said.
Lisanby pioneered the magnetic seizure therapy (MST) method when she was at Columbia University. Like ECT, MST uses magnets to induce seizures in targeted parts of the brain, but is considered safer. The Duke alum (she attended undergrad, med school and residency at Duke) brought the technology with her when she returned to Durham in 2010.

Lisanby also spoke about transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which uses images of the brain to guide clinicians in applying magnetic stimulation over areas associated with mood disorders. The process is non-invasive, and safe, with none of the need for anesthesia or risk of memory loss that comes with ECT.
She said that although her research is exciting, she still sees patients because they keep her clinically grounded.
"Depression kills," said Lisanby. "I have people come to me because they are at the end of their rope and someone recommended ECT. They say, 'Please let there be something else,' but I tell them ECT may be exactly what they need."
Though ECT does run the risk of some memory loss, it's an incredibly effective treatment, with 80 percent to 90 percent of patients reporting an alleviation in depression symptoms.
On Monday night, many people picked up brochures about Lisanby's work at Duke and asked about participating in clinical trials. Gerry and Ann Akland, the presidents of NAMI Wake County, said they were eager to host Lisanby, as her work gives people with treatment-resistant mental illness hope.
"We're always glad to have someone talking about new therapies, or what's on the horizon," said Ann Akland.

Joann McCraw says:
Such an informative article. I have heard great feedbacks about this TMS therapy. It is non-invasive and no side effects were noted, if there is, it is very seldom. Moreover, I do hope that there are many clients that will go fo this therapy and they will find comfort and relief with thir symptoms. -http://www.tmsproviders.com/

CAIRO — Archaeologists in Egypt discovered a massive statue in a Cairo slum that may be of Ramses II, one of the country's most famous and longest ruling ancient pharaohs.
The colossus, a large portion of whose head was pulled from mud and groundwater by a bulldozer and seen by The Associated Press on Friday, is around eight meters (26 feet) high and was discovered by a German-Egyptian archaeological team.
"We used the bulldozer to lift it out. We took some precautions, although somewhat primitive, but the part that we retrieved was not harmed," said Khaled Mohamed Abuelela, manager of antiquities at Ain Shams University.
Egyptologist Khaled Nabil Osman said the statue was an "impressive find" and the area in the working class neighborhood of Matariya in eastern Cairo is likely full of other buried antiquities.
"It was the main cultural place of ancient Egypt, even the bible mentions it," he said. "The sad news is that the whole area needs to be cleaned up, the sewers and market should be moved."
Ramses II, who took the throne in his early 20s as the third pharaoh of the 19th Dynasty, ruled Egypt more than 3,000 years ago. He is credited with expanding ancient Egypt's reach as far as modern Syria to the east and modern Sudan to the south. The expansion earned him the title "Ramses the Great."
Ramses II ruled Egypt for 60 years — one of the longest stretches in ancient Egypt — and besides his military exploits is known for being a great builder whose image can be seen at a string of sites across the country. Massive statues of the warrior-king can be viewed in Luxor, and his most famous monument is in Abu Simbel, near Sudan.
Osman said the massive portion of the head removed from the ground near a street market was made in the style that Ramses was depicted, and was likely him. The site contained parts of both that statue and another.
Famed archaeologist Zahi Hawass, Egypt's former antiquities minister, said the area where the head was found is a very important archaeological site containing the remains of temples to Akhenaten and Thutmose III — kings who ruled during the 18th Dynasty — as well as Ramses II.
He said excavating the area is difficult because there are houses and buildings atop the site and the ground below is filled with rainwater. He said the excavated head had been broken in earlier times.
"There is difficulty in the transfer of the relics from the bottom of groundwater to the highest ground," he said in a statement Friday.
Egypt is packed with ancient treasures, many of which still remain buried.
In November last year, Egyptian archeologists discovered a village and cemetery used by officials tasked with building royal tombs. The findings at the site some 250 miles (390 kilometers) south of Cairo included 15 large tombs dating back to the Early Dynastic Period, more than 4,500 years ago.
New discoveries in Egyptology resonate outside of Egypt, such as the contested theory that King Tutankhamun's tomb contains additional antechambers.

Introducing the new Canada Life: one brand for three iconic Canadian companies
Winnipeg, MB, April 3, 2019. . . Three iconic Canadian brands are coming together under one brand – Canada Life – to better serve their more than 13 million customer relationships across Canada and to position the companies for even stronger growth.
Effective immediately, The Great-West Life Assurance Company, London Life Insurance Company and The Canada Life Assurance Company will begin a journey to move to one brand in the Canadian market. This newly developed Canada Life brand builds on the three companies' proud histories, whose stories began over 170 years ago. Canada Life will become the new brand under which the organization will create, deliver and communicate products and services in Canada across all of its lines of business.
"Today marks the beginning of a new and exciting chapter for our companies in Canada," said Paul Mahon, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Bringing our companies together under one brand will allow us to deliver a simpler and unified experience for our customers, advisors and consultants, focusing on what matters most – helping Canadians reach their full potential, every day."
In addition to the move to a new brand, Great-West Life, London Life, Canada Life and their holding companies, Canada Life Financial Corporation and London Insurance Group Inc., have also begun the process to formally amalgamate as one company – The Canada Life Assurance Company. This initiative is separate from, but aligned with, the move to one brand and will further simplify the business. The proposed amalgamation is a multi-step process that would occur only after obtaining required board, regulatory and policyholder approvals. Further information will be provided in the coming months.
"The new Canada Life is positioned well for continued growth and success," said Jeff Macoun, President and Chief Operating Officer, Canada. "Together with our employees, advisors and consultants, we're excited and optimistic about the task ahead of us. As one brand, we'll present a unified voice, product and service offering and a simplified experience for customers, advisors and consultants."
Our more than 11,000 employees across the country will continue to work from our 5 main offices in Winnipeg, London, Toronto, Montreal and Regina, as well as other offices across the country. There are no job impacts as a result of this announcement.
"Our employees are central not only to our companies' growth, but to the relationship of trust that we've built with our customers, advisors and consultants," said Macoun. "Under the new Canada Life brand, we'll make it easier for them to deliver for our customers, advisors, consultants, and their communities."
Quadrus Investment Services Ltd., Freedom 55 Financial, GWL Realty Advisors and GLC Asset Management Group Ltd. will all retain their current branding. Great-West Lifeco's businesses in the U.S. and in Europe are not affected by this change.
About Great-West Life, London Life and Canada Life
Great-West Life, together with London Life and Canada Life, are leading Canadian insurers focused on improving the financial, physical and mental well-being of Canadians. United under the new Canada Life brand, we help Canadians achieve their potential, every day. Our customers across Canada have trusted us to provide for their financial security needs and deliver on the promises we have made. Together, we serve the financial security needs of more than 13 million people across Canada and are leading providers of a wide range of insurance and wealth management products and services for individuals, families and business owners, from coast to coast to coast.

Имеется:

*

*textbox для поиска значений

*datagridview для отображения найденных значений

*combobox для выбора значения
Ну и кнопка для добавления в базу выбранных данных
Собственно вопрос: Если значение в textbox'е не имеется в базе, то бьет ошибку и combobox становится пустой. Как можно реализовать проверку на подобие: если textbox пуст или не имеется данных в datagrid, то принудительно выбирать,например, 4-е значение в combobox ?
Спасибо за помощь!

Charles Garnett Rothwell, youngest son of Hugh C. Rothwell & Zellica Sarah (Batt) Rothwell, was born 16 Jan 1870 in Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada. He married Winifred Bessie Burns on 20 Jan 1902 at St. Jude's Church in Brooklyn, New York. They had 2 children together [Charles Easton Rothwell & Winifred Alice (Rothwell) Krichesky]. She died soon after Alice's birth. On 3 Jan 1906 Charles Garnett remarried to Martha Huntingdon (Robson) Rothwell in Frontenac, Ontario. Together they had 2 children [Helen Zellica (Rothwell) Wilderman & Frances N. (Rothwell) Vail].
He graduated from Queens University in Kingston, Ontario with a degree in Mining Engineering. At the time that his son Charles Easton was born (1902), Charles G. Rothwell was a mining engineer for the Rocky Mountain Coal Company in Denver, Colorado. In about 1912, Charles G. and his brother John Edward were invited to Butte, Montana to build a mill for ore reduction.
In the 1920s he retired and moved first to Newberg, then finally to Eugene, Lane, Oregon, where he died in Jun 1933. He is buried at West Lawn Memorial Park & Funeral Home.

The Cigarette and Tobacco Product Wholesaling industry in Canada surpassed major obstacles and has succeeded in adapting to new consumer trends and client procedures. Federal and provincial governments have levied higher excise taxes on cigarette products in an effort to raise tax revenue and reduce tobacco consumption. To sustain profit margins amid declining sales volumes, cigarette manufacturers have consistently raised prices on their products. Traditional merchant wholesalers have contended with strong competition from large-scale cigarette manufacturers that also wholesale their tobacco products within the Canadian market. This phenomenon has led to significant restructuring and an overall stagnation in employment over the past five years...read more.
The Cigarette and Tobacco Product Wholesaling industry in Canada is in the growing phase of its life cycle. Industry value added (IVA), which measures an industry's contribution to the overall economy, is projected to increase at an annualized rate of 3.1% over the 10 years to 2024. In contrast, Canadian GDP is forecast to grow at an annualized rate of 1.7% during the same period. The contrast between these two growth rates indicates that the industry's contribution to the broader Canadian economy is above the normal growth rate, which is representative of a growing industry.The industry has existed for a long time and there is wholehearted market acceptance of the industry's services.

January 17, 2017: The World Photography Organisation today announced British documentary photographer Martin Parr as the recipient of its Outstanding Contribution to Photography title. The photographer will collect his title at the 2017 Sony World Photography Awards ceremony held in London on Thursday 20 April.

To coincide with the awards, a specially curated exhibition of rarely seen black and white images from Martin Parr's early career will be presented at Somerset House, London alongside some of his most talked about work, books and films. As part of the 2017 Sony World Photography Awards exhibition, Parr's work will be on show for a limited run from April 21 – May 7, 2017. In addition, the photographer will give a public talk at the London School of Economics and Political Sciences (LSE) on Friday 21 April. Tickets are on sale now at https://www.worldphoto.org/2017exhibition
In a career spanning more than 40 years and often focussing on themes of leisure, consumption and communication, Martin Parr's unique and ambiguous vision of the world has led audiences worldwide to find drama in the every day. By recording in minute detail the world as he sees it in, Parr's frank reflection of national characteristics and international phenomena has pioneered a new tone in documentary photography.
It is this dedication to the medium and pushing of boundaries that made Parr's selection for the award easy for the World Photography Organisation, despite the photographer's recent assertion that "If I knew how to take a great photo, I would stop."
Scott Gray, CEO, World Photography Organisation comments:
"Martin Parr's work has transcended all the usual boundaries of photography and shown that the medium is a hugely powerful means of communication. As an artist Parr has created a unique visual language that is deeply serious, but its inherent humour has ensured that his work has an almost global understanding.
"Great integrity and commitment to the medium of photography is the common thread that links each of our previous Outstanding Contribution to Photography Award recipients. These are qualities that Martin Parr has consistently displayed throughout his career and why we are proud to present him this title in the 10th anniversary of the Sony World Photography Awards."
Upon being told of the award, Martin Parr commented: "It is a great honour to receive the Outstanding Contribution to Photography title, especially knowing the illustrious previous recipients such as William Klein and William Eggleston. It is also very re-assuring to see the World Photography Organisation and Sony's continuing support for all aspects of contemporary photography, through this exhibition and this season of awards."
Previous recipients of the Outstanding Contribution to Photography title include Mary Ellen Mark, Eve Arnold, Bruce Davidson and Elliott Erwitt.
Born in 1952 in Epsom, Surrey, Martin Parr was inspired to take up photography as a teenager by his grandfather. Black and white photography characterised his early work, and his move to the strong use of colour photography in the 1980's, for which he has become synonymous, was prompted by photographers such as Stephan Shore, William Eggleston, Peter Fraser and Joel Meyerowitz.
Forcing the viewer to look again at the familiar, Martin Parr has often faced accusations of mocking those he has photographed. The Last Resort (1985) is widely acknowledged as his breakthrough show and the photographer since become an inspiration for a generation of young photographers. He is a prolific collector of photography books and has written a large number himself.
Parr has been a member of Magnum Photos since 1988, and was voted President of Magnum Photos International in 2014.
2017 Sony World Photography Awards & Martin Parr Exhibition
Curated by Zelda Cheatle, three rooms at the prestigious Somerset House, London, will be dedicated to the photographs, books and films of Martin Parr as part of the 2017 Sony World Photography Awards Exhibition.
The rooms will begin with a selection of rarely seen images from Parr's Abandoned Morris Minors series, shot in the West Coast of Ireland between 1980 and 1983. Original posters for the first exhibition of this work will also be on show. In will be contrasted with some of Parr's best loved images that each focus on global tourism.
Talking about the selection of the work, curator Zelda Cheatle comments: "Most people recognise the Martin Parr 'style' of daylight flash, his ability particularly to capture the English at work, at rest and at play – the humdrum and everyday – and transfigure this into a mixture of wry observation and social irony.
As I have known Martin Parr's work from early days, I was keen to show his (mostly unknown) gentle black and white pictures from the West Coast of Ireland. These photographs of abandoned Morris Minors show a real affection for the landscape of Ireland. There is no mockery here – definitely some characteristic humour and (dare I say this about Martin) – some poetry too.
Martin's tackling the giant industry of tourism seemed a perfect complement to this early work. Tourism is a necessary evil – and maintains many countries' economies – but it also threatens to devour itself Orobourus -style. These two sides of Parr, which I rate highly, are not often shown together – these aspects of his work – these aspects of his work may not be so well known, but should be acknowledged more."
The Sony World Photography Awards is the world's largest photography competition. The shortlist for the 2017 awards will be announced February 28.

In general, your tax residency status will determine the amount of tax liability you will incur. The amount of taxes a foreigner pays in Singapore is affected by the cut-off periods of 60 days and 183 days. For example, a foreigner who is issued a one-year visa will be immediately deemed a Singapore tax resident.
Continuously for three consecutive years.
Your tax residency status will be reviewed during tax clearance when you cease your employment based on the tax residency rules. If your stay in Singapore is less than 183 days, you will be regarded as a non-resident with regards to the Singapore income tax.
Let's understand this in detail.
Under the city-state's tax residency rules, a foreigner is regarded as a tax resident if he or she stays or works in Singapore for at least 183 days in a calendar year. Notably, the number of counted days includes weekends and public holidays, and any temporary absence from work for overseas vacation or official work.
While the foreigner can claim tax reliefs (discussed below) when filing up the Form B1 applicable to tax-residents, his or her foreign-sourced income brought into Singapore is tax-exempt.
If you stay or work in Singapore for a continuous period of at least 183 days spanning across two years, you will be considered as a tax resident for these two years under the two-year administrative concession.
Should you stay or work in Singapore for three consecutive years, you will be classified as a tax resident for all three years, as reflected in the three-year administrative concession. This rule is applicable to you even if you are in the country for fewer than 183 days in the first and third year.
The progressive income tax rates vary from 0 to 22 percent. Residents who make $320,000 or more will need to pay for the topmost rate (22 percent).
Seek the services of qualified tax professionals to file your personal tax correctly and in compliance with Singapore law.
Get qualified tax consultants to help you understand your tax-residency status in Singapore and file the correct amounts in compliance with the local laws.

Write the reciprocal of 5 + 2.
Given that,5+2 it's reciprocal is given as
1/(5+2)
It can be simplified by rationalizing the denominator. The rationalizing factor of 5+2 is 5 − 2, we will multiply numerator and denominator of the given expression 1/(5+2)by, 5−2 to get
1/(5+2) × (5−2)/(5−2) = (5−2)/((5)2 − (2)2)
= (5−2) /( 25−2)
= (5− 2 ) / 23
Hence reciprocal of the given expression is (5− 2 ) / 23 .

Miracles only aid to refugees as two Syrian infants survive disasters
ISTANBUL Syrian Crisis
Oct 23, 2015 12:00 am GMT+3
Two Syrian infants survived the sinking of their boats off the Turkish coast in a miraculous escape one month after the body of a Syrian toddler washed ashore and triggered an emotional response to the drama of the thousands of migrants heading to Europe
Turkey, the main transit country of thousands of refugees from war-torn Syria and other countries, was the scene of two unbelievable survivals of refugees last week and this week.
Two Syrian infants found by fishermen and the Coast Guard after the boats they boarded with their families sank off the Turkish coast and killed more than 14 people. The tragic episode was the latest in the drama of thousands who seek to reach Europe where they aim to pursue better lives instead of a state of uncertainty. It also brings back the sad memory of an image of Aylan Kurdi, the Syrian 3 year old whose body was found washed ashore in Turkey after a refugee boat sank, sparking outrage over international reluctance to help refugees trying to reach to Europe.
Amateur footage surfaced on Friday that showed the rescue of 18-month-old Muhammed Hassan off the coast of Kuşadası, a seaside town in the western province of Aydın. Hassan was aboard a boat that sank in the area last week. At least 14 people are believed to be missing based on the accounts of 15 survivors. His survival was nothing short of a miracle as the fishermen said they would almost always skip checking a life vest floating at sea, presuming it fell off a boat. When they decided to examine it, the infant was found with his face down in the large vest. At first the fishermen thought he was dead, but on closer examination they found he was breathing. Hassan was immediately transferred to a hospital where he is currently recovering.
Speaking to A Haber, Recep Evran, one of the fishermen who found the infant, said he first saw a gas can in the area and suspected there might have been a boat accident. "Then I scanned with my binoculars and saw a group of people some 400 meters away from the can. We went to help them. We first rescued a mother and her teenage children and later found other survivors. Meanwhile, we had notified the Coast Guard and they told us to get them on the boat as they would die before a Coast Guard boat would be able to reach them. I started picking survivors up one by one," he said. Evran said they found Hassan about 50 minutes after they pulled some 15 survivors out of the sea. "He was about one-and-a-half miles away from the place where we found survivors; it was sheer coincidence. When I saw a life vest, I immediately steered the boat there," he said.
Evran said crewmember Cenap Gümran pulled Hassan aboard and applied first aid. "We are very happy to help him stay alive." The infant was reportedly floating at sea for four hours. "He wasn't moving when we found him, he was, like, petrified. We would have taken him anyway even if he was dead. As I was pulling him near the boat with a wooden pole I heard a low moaning. I was shocked," he said.
The boy is currently undergoing treatment for hypothermia at a public hospital in the western city of İzmir. He is in good health, but he will stay at the hospital for further medical examination. His mother was also among the survivors, but the whereabouts of his father is unknown.
Meanwhile in Ayvalık, a district in the western province of Balıkesir, a 9-and-a-half-old Syrian girl was pulled from the sea alive by the Coast Guard on Thursday after the boat she had boarded sank off the coast of Ayvalık, one of the popular routes for refugees trying to get to Greek islands. She was heading to the Greek island of Lesbos with her family when their boat sank, killing two onboard. Eleven others survived the accident. The girl, Nacan, was among three children who survived the sinking. She was transferred to a hospital in Ayvalık where she is currently recovering.
Photos of infants found unconscious came one month after Kurdi lost his life. Images of Kurdi, who died along with his brother and mother, had forced reluctant EU countries to reconsider their refugee policies, with the EU pledging to take in more refugees.
Turkey is a major transit point for refugees looking to reach the EU. According to figures from the Coast Guard, more than 60,000 people were intercepted on the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas this year and more than 140 people died when their boats capsized and sank.
Refugees pay all they have to human smugglers to cross to Greek islands, which are close to Turkey's lengthy Aegean coast, but smugglers often defraud them or supply them with boats that are not seaworthy. Fake life vests filled with sponges that soak up water and are sold for cheap to refugees add to their troubles who take the risk despite the multiple deaths. The Coast Guard stepped up measures and patrols in May after a surge in the number of refugees, but the number of refugees kept rising, especially after the rising threat of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) in Syria and Iraq, two southern neighbors of Turkey. Turkey has more than 2 million Syrian refugees, but only a small number of them live in refugee camps across from the Syrian border while many others struggle to survive on the streets.
It was anticipated that the number of refugees would decrease as an onset of bad weather last month hindered attempts to cross into nearby Greek islands from the Turkish coast. Nevertheless, dozens of refugees are still intercepted daily in the Aegean Sea, resilient despite the history of deaths in overcrowded boats.
Experts say that the worsening crisis in Syria could trigger further refugee waves. More than 2 million Syrians are expected to flee Aleppo, a major Syrian city controlled by rebels, if it falls entirely to ISIS.

In the case you are refering we haven't had "anything wiped off the map in one day". NSW has never had any hunting in National forests so anything that is allocated is a plus. Would I like to see bowhunting in these places? Absolutely. Is it likely? Probably not. The government want to eradicate feral animals and the bow is not the tool for that. *At this stage I am hoping the current hunting process will continue in State forests, but time will tell.
Believe it or not the Game Council was never about hunting, it was about feral and pest animal control, the government was using private hunters to help in this regard. Let's face it, the bow is not going to cut it in a numbers game and numbers are what the GC are about. If the Game Council worked 100% efficiently and effectively it had a use by date anyway, as some time in the future there would not have been any pest animals left to hunt. In this regard the government has now decided there is a more efficient way of handling the current arrangement hopefully it will continue on with a similar process of the GC but it will be handled by an established department (DPI ?) and the GC will be no more.
This has no effect on private property hunting which historically has been the only way hunting could be conducted in NSW.
So what's to be done? Numbers is the Game. Politicians and governments only care about numbers. So I'll give you a challenge Jason. Get everyone you know to join an archery/bowhunting association. The more numbers we can quote to these people the more chance we will have of them listening to us. But working against us will achieve nothing but division, and that will get us nowhere.
Your Message: What do you plan to do to protect our rights now that they have been stripped away. If bowhunting is not allowed in National Forests then State Forests will be next. How did we go from a great prospering culture to being wiped off the map in one day. Time for you people at ABA to step up your game instead of sitting on your hands. Bows will be a licensed firearm within two years if you and the Shooters and Fishers party don't do something. You are our governing body! You represent US. It's time to prove that you are not just a figure head with no power as is bandied around all too often. Restore our culture and our faith.
Boys if you don't like what ABA are about, it is up to YOU to make the change.
Hunters and hunting must use the main stream media, if this includes taking out ads in the popular daily's, so be it.
This is by far the best news I've heard in a long time, hats off to Gary Mallard. As sad as the GC's demise may be, I hope this can be a catalyst for some big positives within not only the bowhunting community, but the wider hunting community as well. After reading Gary Mallard's words, I have just joined the SSAA and SFP for the first time, and plan to remain a member from here on in. It cost me the same as about 8 arrows.
The FAB will undoubtedly be the best national, credible representation we as bowhunters have ever had.
I cannot urge you enough of the importance of getting behind this movement. This is critical.
If you love bowhunting, and love our way of life, now is the time to do your part in protecting what we all have.
Spread the word - all of you have mates who bowhunt who don't necessarily join in on the forum, and don't necessarily read the magazines or participate at clubs. Those thousands of bowhunters out there in the wilderness are the ones we need to draw upon and make sure this information reaches. I challenge you to email them the link to this thread - or even just tell them about it. I will be doing so today. I'm sure there will be much more information coming to hand over the next few weeks. Thanks Antonio for your tireless toiling as always, well done mate, I look forward to hearing how the meeting goes and wish I could be there. I knew this day would come, and am very glad it finally has.
Precisely, well said. Let's not turn this thread into an ABA-bashing extravaganza. Let's look to the positives of the future, not the negatives of the past.
This is getting out of hand now..i dont know if i can make the meeting but i just joined SFP anyway.
My intention was not to bash the ABA rather to light a fire under their asses to be more vocal and pass on some info. Such as, their stance on all this? What they are doing to counteract what's happening and what they need us to do to help them win this fight. But we have recieved no information at all. I posted the response to show the differing stance I think the ABA has compared to the majority of outraged hunters.
I just joined the SFP also. Nice work Gary on organizing the meeting in August.
Its great to see action being taken.
Great to see so many enthusiastic people getting behind this. If all bowhunters work together on this I am sure w e can make a difference. All bowhunters in Oz deserve to have a voice and be represented, be it and association member or not, and hopefully this will finally get us all accounted for in the numbers that we truly represent. Will be great to see everyone work together for once.
I am going to start a thread where people can post that they are or have joined the Shooters and Fishers Party and a are a bowhunter who wants their pastime protected. This will be a great number to take to the meeting whether you can make it or not, just so we can state that we have this many bowhunters who are members who want to be represented from a bowhunting sense.


AquaBall is a ball-bouncing game taking place in the great depths of the ocean. Before you start, a map is shown with all the levels in the game; you can choose the difficulty of each level from easiest to hardest.
During the game you'll control a platform attached to an iron rounded silver tube that surrounds objects in the level. In the middle of the screen, there are objects like seashells, starfish, chests, etc. These objects are your targets. The objective of the game is very simple: there's a ball and when the game starts this ball will start bouncing all over the area. Your task is to move the platform left and right to prevent the ball from falling to the underwater ground. As you bounce this ball back each time it comes down, you have to aim at the objects to destroy them and earn points.
Every time you destroy an object a bonus may appear, such as money or a useful magnet and other bonuses that will help you a lot to win each level. However, it's not just destroying everything and bouncing the ball, you have to also find a key in order to advance to the next level.
The novelty of this game is that the silver tube forms basically 70% of an ellipse, the remaining 30% hole is at the bottom and the ball can escape through it and hit the ground (whereby you lose). You may find a bonus that will close this gap and you won't have to worry about the ball falling down anymore.

She napped pretty decently all day, sleeping past the time I'd expected and missing a feeding. Maybe it was the hard rain pouring that made her sleepy. Late morning, she woke up sloshy and congested and seemed crabbier than normal, so I did the saline + nasal bulb aspiration. Of course she cried. I got some stuff out, but not an incredible amount. I'd read the instructions on the nebulizer while she was napping and tested putting it together, so I gave her a treatment. She struggled, screamed and cried through the whole 15-20 minutes, a heartbreaking little tear trickling out from the outside corner of each eye.
It started raining harder during her afternoon nap, which seemed to make her sleep deeper. I had plenty of time to research RSV viruses and it scared me. I went on the social networking site and shot out a status message regarding the rain and the nanny interview scheduled for that evening in an outdoor shopping mall where I'd have to take the baby in a stroller and hope she doesn't get too wet from the parking structure to the meeting place. Should I change the meeting place to our home? But then given how contagious and bad this virus is, it's pretty effed up to risk giving it to someone else. With the encouragement of friends, I called Susanne (the German lady) and left her a voice mail about 2 hours 15 mins before we were supposed to meet. I explained that as it was raining so hard and Allie has a bad virus, we should reschedule our meeting. I figured she lives about a half hour from the location, she wouldn't have left yet, but when I got her voice mail I was concerned. She called me back when I was changing Allie and left a voice mail, saying she'd left to meet us already and was driving so she couldn't pick up the phone. She was nice about it, said with the baby sick and the rain, she understood, and we'll just reschedule the interview. When I called back later, I again got her vm and I apologized, saying I didn't realize she would've left that early and sorry for the drive for nothing. I explained it's hard for me to get the phone sometimes with the baby and maybe email is better. Later in the evening, I got an email from her that I was afraid to open, but she was very nice, again.
Well just let me know for when we could rearrange the appointment and I hope to meet you soon.
Mr. W was sure we'd lost her. Now I almost feel obligated to hire her. =P I also emailed Diane, the woman with the looong drive to come to us, and explained about the sickness and asked to reschedule. She also wrote back nicely, said her son had the same virus when he was a baby and it was scary for her. She wished our family a speedy recovery and asked me to schedule the interview once we're well.
The rest of the evening and so far today, Allie seemed a little better. Altho she still coughed and occasionally gags after a coughing fit, she didn't vomit again. Mr. W had her between 6-7p while I took a shower. At one point I heard him say he needed to clear her nose and I heard crying (from the baby). Later I peeked downstairs to see Allie sitting on his lap looking at the computer monitor while baby rock music (Journey) played on media player, and he was giving her the nebulizer treatment…with no protest! Allie was fed at 7p, fell asleep soon after, but woke up again around 9:30p and had a hard time going back down. I stayed with her in her room until past 11p to do the pacifier thing.
She was napping nicely but now is having a fit. I thought she was better but maybe not yet… Gotta run to her.
Cindy: Are you sure it's really only saline treatments Allie is getting? We used the neb with our daughter who is now 23 when she was a tiny baby as Allie is but it was saline mix with albuterol which opens up the air ways and is used for treatment of bronchitis, penuomina, RSV, asthma and some other breathing issues. I'm also an RN and just wondered. It truly could only be saline but after reading she did have RSV wondered if it might be more than saline, but please don't take my word that it is anything else of course not seeing the med,I have no clue!! ha Anyway if it is albuterol or proventil which are one and the same that may be the cause of her not sleeping as it "hypes" them up, even adults. Just sort of an "FYI" in case it's not plain saline. I don't mean to infer you don't know what you are giving your baby, anyway I hope this "being a mom gig" gets easier for you very soon!! And it truly will, being a parent is the hardest gig you will ever have, trust me!!! Even as an RN I freaked about our two when they were little ones!!! I'm glad Mr. W is helpful to you, that goes a long way, I too had/have a fabo hubby!!! Hang in there.
Hi marie! Yes, it's just saline. The dr was very specific about no meds this young. The little plastic units of liquid are labeled "sodium chloride neb 0.9% ud", 5ml. So mystery not solved. I suppose it's possible that she's at her 3mo growth spurt that has her demanding food so often that it disrupts her night sleep, so she's.so fatigued she becomes wired & unable to sleep well. Just thinking about how long this may last makes me want to cry.

Hillary says she will answer our questions about the Keystone pipeline when she becomes president.
Quoted from a report at The Blaze:
At a New Hampshire town hall Tuesday morning, a voter asked Hillary Clinton to answer "yes or no, please" on whether she'd approve the Keystone XL pipeline as president.
Clinton did neither, saying instead that she won't answer until she becomes president.
She dodged and made lemonade about the TPP.
She wiggled and equivocated about health care for all.
Hillary, if she is honest, will answer your questions thusly: Whatever Monsanto and Shell will permit, we can do. So you can have gay rights but not equal pay. You can have mandated health insurance but not health care for all. You can have cheap foreign made goods but not decent good-paying jobs. You can have fracking to ship fossil fuels to Asia, but not a healthy biosphere. You can have a temporary job building the Keystone pipeline to ship fossil fuels from Canada to places out of our country, but not cheap renewable non-polluting energy.
But Hillary is not honest - she is cheating her way to the Democratic nomination.
1) She has already recruited 400 super-delegates.
2) She has coerced many state Democratic parties into pledging half of their fund raising dollars to her.
3) Her former campaign manager is abusing her position as head of the DNC to restrict the number of debates prior to the first primary to four - threatening the other Democratic candidates with exclusion from the official Democratic Party debates if the engage in any other debates.
Hillary is engaging in anti-democratic processes - kind of ironic for a person who wishes to lead the Democratic Party. I know I will be voting for Bernie Sanders in the primary in my state.
Dr. Pineo-Jensen earned her Ph.D. at University of Oregon in 2013 in Educational Methodology, Policy and Leadership in the College of Education.
