N-Dubz is an urban music group from London. Their biggest hit to date is 'Number 1', a collaboration with Tinchy Stryder. The song reached number one in the UK singles charts in April 2009. The line-up of the band consists of Dappy (Dino Contostavlos), Tula (Tulisa Contostavlos) and Fazer (Richard Rawson).
Formation: All three members of N-Dubz attended Quintin Kynaston School in St. John's Wood, London. Dappy and Tula are cousins. The three members of N-Dubz were originally managed by Dino's father, Byron Contostavlos. Byron was formerly a member of the 1970s rock group Mungo Jerry.
The members of N-Dubz all appeared on Channel 4's Dubplate Drama, as the Lickle Rinsers Crew. They released 'Bad Man Riddim' and 'Life Is Getting Sicker By The Day', which both became hits on pirate radio.
Before changing their name to N-Dubz, they were briefly known as NW1. NW1 made a music video for 'Everyday of My Life', which was played on Channel U. N-Dubz's first single proper was 'You Better Not Waste My Time'.
Breakthrough and Success: In 2006, N-Dubz released 'I Swear', which brought about their first taste of mainstream popularity. The following year, they released 'Feva Las Vegas'. This was their first single to reach the UK Singles charts, reaching number 57.
In 2007, N-Dubz won the Best Newcomer Award at the MOBOs. Shortly afterwards, they signed a deal with Polydor Records, who re-released 'You Better Not Waste My Time'. The newly-released version of the single reached number 26 on the UK singles chart.
Later that year, Dappy teamed up with Baker Troble to release 'Love For My Slums'. The track was a huge hit on Channel U.
In November 2007, Dappy appeared as a guest on BBC2's comedy music quiz, Never Mind The Buzzcocks. The host of the quiz, Simon Amstell, wore one of Dappy's trademark floppy-eared hats. The following year, Dappy was invited back on the show.
The month of May, 2008, saw the N-Dubz track 'Ouch' gaining more than 4 million viewers on YouTube. N-Dubz left their deal with Polydor Records. They switched allegiance to All Around the World Records. Other releases on the label include Ice Cube's You Can Do It album.
In April 2009, N-Dubz released their first number one record: a collaboration with Tinchy Stryder, entitled 'Number 1'.
During the swine flu scare of 2009, Tulisa collapsed onstage, prompting fears that she may have contracted the virus. Eventually, she tested negative for the illness.
The former N-Dubz star can be heard using the n-word during the intro to a brand new track.
Former N-Dubz rapper Dappy has defended his use of the n-word, after including it in the lyrics to a new track he's released.
The star can be heard using the controversial word, which many find offensive despite the argument that 'reclaiming' the term empowers rather than degrades the traditional target of the word, in the introduction to a new freestyle track called 'Tarzan', on a new EP he released on Christmas Day.
The former N-Dubz rapper Dappy could face up to three years in jail, after he was found guilty of assault and affray at Guildford Crown Court. Dappy found himself facing charges after he got himself embroiled in a brawl at a petrol station, when he asked some women to get in his car and they refused. He was accused of spitting at and insulting the women and of assaulting the men that stepped in to defend them.
"Not guilty For spitting at the Females but Guilty for defending my self from the 3 Males!!!! #ThisAintRight," the 'No Regrets' singer tweeted yesterday, after hearing the verdict. A couple of hours later, clearly feeling vindicated, he added "U see... I told u I never Spat at No Girl!!!!! #ThisAintRight." Hmmm, that doesn't exactly make up for the fact that you got into a fight with the men, though Dappy and reportedly left them with "severe facial injuries." You are in no way off the hook.
The maximum sentence for Dappy's crime stands at three years in jail. He denied the allegations that were made against him but also admitted that he was drunk at the time of the incident, which took place in February 2012.
The N-Dubz rapper who found fame alongside his cousin, X Factor judge Tulisa Constostavlos, in 2009, has been found guilty of assault and affray for an incident at a Surrey petrol station last February.
Dappy was accused of spitting at two girls after he was rejected having tried to chat them up. After this a fight ensued along with his own pals, two of whom joined him in court today, also accused under the same circumstances. Kieran Vassell was also found guilty while Kalonji Stewart was, for some reason, not. As MTV UK reports they have been let out on unconditional bail and will be sentenced on February 15th.
Dappy's track record isn't great and his latest bad behaviour is preceded by a lifetime of breaking the rules, from constant truancy at school, leading to his expulsion, to being accused child abuse, and of assaulting the mother of his two children. However, despite the evidence this time around, Dappy was really not happy with the verdict and both he and TOWIE's Kirk Norcross took to Twitter to air their grievances.
Dappy has been found guilty of affray in light of the court case that's been going on over an incident involving him and two women at a petrol station in Guildford, Surrey. The story goes that Dappy asked the two women if they wanted to come back with him, after bumping into them at the garage in the evening. When the women rejected his advance, he repotedly spat at them, the incident spiralling into a fight between Dappy, some of his pals, and some men who happened to be nearby.
Dappy Insists On Innocence In Assault Case; "Girls Are Trying To Stitch Me Up"
It's not looking good for Dappy, who has been charged with affray, two counts of common assault and one of assault by beating in connection with a fight at a garage in Guildford, Surrey, in the early hours on February 28 last year.
The incident allegedly occurred after Dappy had asked the two if they wanted to come back with him after bumping into them at the garage. When they said know he is supposed to have spat at them, the incident setting in motion a chain of events that led to a fight between him, his friends and some nearby men.
Dappy, that most unlovable scamp from British group N-Dubz, has decided to plead not guilty to four charges of assault and affray at Guildford Crown court. As you will remember from various reports in the earlier in the week, the, err, he's a rapper we guess (though we can't rightly remember much of what he's done musically), was accused of instigating a brawl after spitting in two women's faces. Pretty unpleasant if it turns out to be true.
The Guardian reports that the charges levelled against Dappy – real name Costadinos Contostavlos – are that he was alleged to have approached two 18 year-old women in February last year and asked them to come with him; when they refused a fight apparently broke out between the star and his pals, with some other men who were presumably loitering about nearby.
"What very quickly became apparent was [that] however interested Mr Contostavlos might have been in the girls, they were not interested in him," prosecutor Brian Stork said on Tuesday (January 8, 2013). "So his attitude changed, and from being polite and inviting he became rude. He called the girls 'slags'. He described one of them as 'ugly'. And then as a result of one of the girls calling him 'boring', he [spat at them]." Dappy could faces up to six months in prison if convicted.
N-Dubz have teamed up with the Little Big Planet's creators to make the first music video created on a Playstation. Directed by N-Dubz and music video director Henry Schofield the idea behind it was to take scenes and ideas from past videos and emulate the performances.

If any Mediaite commenters have strayed over to the other websites on the Abrams Media network (like Geekosystem, Styleite, or Mogulite), you may have noticed that they have a slightly different commenting system. You also may have noticed that it's pretty darn cool.
We agree with you and starting on Friday at midnight, we at Mediaite are going to be adopting the same system. It's called Disqus (like "discuss", get it?) and it rocks. The new system may be a little confusing at first, but this post will have all the instructions to get your new account set up.
You can also email comments@mediaite.com if you have any problems setting up your account after looking over this post and trying out the new system yourself. We will get back to you personally and answer all of your questions as quickly as we can.
1. Read your Mediaite article.
2. Scroll down. You'll see the option to add a new comment.
3. Now, things get a little crazy. You can log in using any one of the following: Disqus, Facebook, Twitter, Google, OpenId or Yahoo. The steps for each are listed below. Above the comment box there are several different colored buttons that represent each option.
1. Click the Disqus button above the comment box.
2.If you already have a Disqus account, login and post away.
3. If you don't, you'll see the option to register a new account in the bottom (below the Login button). Click it.
4. From there, all you have to do is enter your email, pick a username and a password and you're all set. Very simple.
1. Click the blue Facebook button above the comment box.
2. Then, a box will pop up with another blue button that says "sign in with Facebook". If you're already signed in to your Facebook click that button. That's all you have to do.
3. If you are not already logged in to Facebook, then the box will prompt you to enter your username and password. It will then inform you that Disqus will automatically know some of the information that you have on Facebook. You won't be posting through Facebook, but Disqus and Facebook will be communicating and sharing information. If you're okay with that, then enter your email and password and connect with Facebook.
An Important Note: If you choose to post through Facebook, you will be posting under your real name. You can't make up a cool username. Also, your Facebook picture will become your avatar. So if you don't potentially want all of Mediaite seeing that adorable picture of you and your kids living it up on Spring Break or that picture of you from college (you know the one I'm talking about) don't connect with Facebook.
1. Click the Twitter button above the comment box.
2. A window will pop up which lists all the information Disqus will learn about you if you link the two applications. If you're okay with the information sharing and are already logged in to Twitter, press "sign in".
3. If you are not already signed in to Twitter enter your username or email and password and press "sign in".
Another Important Note: Just like with Facebook, with Twitter you will not be able to use a cool username. Your username will be your Twitter handle. Similarly, your avatar will become your Twitter avatar if you choose to link Disqus with Twitter. So if you don't want all of Mediaite to know that your alter ego is @unicorns4ever, then don't connect with Twitter.
1. Press the Google button.
2. A window will pop up and prompt you to enter your Google information. If you are already logged in to Google then you can just click "sign in" and skip step three.
3. If you are not already signed in to Google, enter your Google information and click sign in.
4. After you've clicked "sign in", another window will pop up asking for permission to access some of your information. If you click allow, Google will share your information with Disqus. Because Google actually rules the world, this probably includes what color underpants your wearing. If you click "no, thanks" you won't be allowed to post with Google.
Yet Another Important Note: If you chose to post with Google you similarly will not be able to pick your username. The name you shared with Google (probably your full name) will be displayed when you post. Yahoo is similar in terms of not being able to pick your username and information sharing and the steps to post with Yahoo are virtually identical to the steps to post with Google.
Many of you will also be delighted to learn that with this new system comes with (drumroll please) an EDIT function! Yes, we've heard your cries for help. Now if your perfect post is being marred by a typo, you have the ability to click an edit button and change it. You can also add thoughts and change pretty much everything about your posts after they've already been published.
Another helpful reminder: we're still moderating comments so be sure to remember our commenting guidelines! Once again, the new system will start on Friday at midnight and you can email comments@mediaite.com if you have any account issues. As always, we look forward to hearing from you.

The topic of discussion may appear a bit constructing but I took my time for them to observe this losing weight method. Losing weight has been the major concern off overweight people; I know how it feels as soon as you feel that excess chunk of excess weight around your stomach and how clumsy you really feel when performing tasking functions. I know at some point you keep carrying out a Google look through to how to slim down, burn belly fat etc. There is several information out there on losing weight; some are useful to an extent I have to confess.
Today I will discuss with that you proven way to shed fat. I have this friend in the Bank where We work and the girl weighed 110 kilogram, she had some fractured leg and additionally uses crutches i really could not advice her to do exercises to be able to lose weight as that has been not possible. My partner and i called up a further friend who offers this burn weight [url=***********.authenticmeizitang.com/meizitang-botanical-slimming-soft-gel-p-7.html]meizitang pills[/url] capsules and an order was nestled. My friend really wished to lose weight together with I was desperate to aid. We got the fat-burning capsules; it was 60 capsules inside of a pack. The recommended serving is 2 capsules on a daily basis.
The next day she located me and said she did not sense you are eating, she simply drank water. It appeared like the capsules had taken over her system. Before I continue with the story, I researched this losing weight product and it's 100% herbal with out side effects. This is the Chinese weight deprivation drug actually. She continued using the pills and at the start there was no reasonable change with the first 2 weeks, I advised her to go scale up the final week. She came to figure smiling morning; I asked your ex why she ended up being smiling and the girl screamed "I morning so glad My business is losing weight. " She previously had dropped to 96 kilogram in 3 many days losing 15 kilogram in the way. This story is just not to sell most people into anything; it's just your life testimonial of a weight loss product my friend widely used. She got her second pack regarding 60 capsules yesterday and is particularly living it upward.
I strongly recommend this fat burning product for anyone willing to burn fat for a reasonable extent. This really works and I am willing to testify to the sweetness works of this weight loss pill.

Sharing inspirational stories from UWA grads, researchers and students
Seizing the opportunity - Dr Dick Porter [DCom '14]
Great opportunities don't come everyday, but Dick Porter, the co-founder of STA Travel and Director of STA Travel Group has been taking every opportunity for the last 40 years in the UK. A self proclaimed "average student" at UWA, Dick embarked on a trip to the UK and has remained there ever since. By 1976, suffering from the huge oil shock flowing from the 1973 'Yom Kippur' War, much of the European travel industry had failed or required government subsidy to continue. Seizing the opportunity, Dick co-founded STA Travel in 1979, which has continued to advise young people on holidays and adventures abroad, offering a unique range of flights, accommodation, tours and expeditions in 90 countries. Today, STA Travel has more than 400 branches worldwide and sends more than six million passengers away each year.
In this interview Dick shares how a freak accident during university changed the trajectory of his career, what a business leader looks like, the impact of mentoring and the alumni network in the UK, and the importance for students and alumni to travel.

We build IFAKs and tactical medical kits for all most every conceivable situation and application, from the minimally trained outdoorsman to the veteran combat medic or paramedic. Our kits range in size from the smallest tactical IFAK to massive trunk-sized Recompression Dive kits. If you already know what type of kit you are searching for (tactical IFAK, general use etc.), use the pull-down menu under Medical Kits (above left) to help narrow your search.
It is important that the contents of your IFAK are matched to your level of training and the type of injuries you are most likely to treat, so careful reading of contents lists is a must. Another consideration is the way it is packaged and contained—there is no point in paying for an elaborate thigh-rig if it is going to end up in a pack or vehicle. Please check out our extensive IFAK selection, as well as our EMS and First Responder offerings.

Book cheap Tangier Flights! Travel for vacation or for work? Whatever reason you travel for, Travelkiki.com finds you the cheapest Tangier Flights easily and quickly. Plan your trip and let Travelkiki book your airline tickets!
Tangier, a city loved more than anything by artists and poets, hub and focal point of the beat generation and a top travel destination for those who seek magic and spiritual adventure! Search for cheap air tickets to Tangier and get a glimpse of the city's majestic past; where Europe meets Africa, at Kerouac's, Burroughs's and Capote's legendary Interzone. Even though the glamour of old times has faded away, Tangier remains one of Morocco's liveliest cities, with a personality and charm of its own. Book your accommodation easily in one of the many cheap hotels in Tangier and trace the steps of the cursed poets, taking in every drop of the African-European aura that embraces the city. Interesting history, exotic lure, outstanding scenery, virgin beaches and friendly mood; what more could anyone wish for, when on holidays?
Tangier is one of the oldest cities in North Africa, founded in 1,500 BC by Phoenician merchants. Carthaginians, Greek, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs and Europeans came and went during the following years, each wishing ownership of Tangier's strategic port – and each leaving behind a piece of heritage.
After World War II, Tangier was pronounced an International Zone and was soon transformed into a hotspot for artists, spies and hippies. For the next twelve years, Tangier was to be famous for its libertarian character. Without monetary, taxing and ethical restrictions – including an established drug tolerance – Tangier became the definition of extravagance, intemperance and creativity.
Many British and American artists fled to Tangier seeking refuge from the socially oppressed post-war homes. William Burroughs, Truman Capote, Allen Ginsberg, Tennessee Williams and many more lived and created some of their most notable works in the Interzone.
In 1957, things started to change and until 1970, laws had been established, police forces were called in and, from that point, the situation would never be the same again. Tangier was then forgotten, losing most of its glamour, however the arrival of the new monarch in 1999 brought about new hopes and tourism and industry became the priorities of the new society of Tangier.
Nowadays, visitors in Tangier can enjoy a wide range of facilities, beaches, attractions and shows, cultural performances and gourmet dining.
From the bohemian charm of the '50's little is left; nonetheless, travelling to Tangier remains for many a lifetime goal and experience. Live your own legendary experience in Tangier!
The airport of Tangier (Aéroport Tanger Ibn Battouta) is located 14 kilometres from the city centre and is accessible exclusively by taxi services.
You can easily get around Tangier on foot, but you can always take a petit taxi. Just remember to arrange ahead how much a ride will cost!
The central square of Tangier and once a major marketplace, this is the marking point of the transition from the modern to the old town of Tangier.
Hotels near the Grand Socco.
A notoriously famous hangout of the '50's, the Petit Socco is now quiet and charming part of the Medina, the perfect stop for you to enjoy a mint tea and people-watching.

The Sultanate palace, also known as Dar el-Makhzen, dominates the Medina's skyline and now houses the Museum of Moroccan Art and Antiquities, boasting a large collection of artefacts, textiles, tapestry, ceramics and jewellery of the past.
Hotels near the Kasbah of Tangier.
Tangier consists of the modern city centre (Ville Nouvelle) and the old fortified town (Medina), which is the primary reference point for visitors and tourists.
Your exploration begins at the Grand Socco, the idyllic passage to the Medina. The Grand Socco is a large square lined with palm trees, fountains, boutiques and shops. Once a major market, today it marks the border between the old and the new town of Tangier.
Medina is considered to be Tangier's primary attraction, a labyrinth of picturesque narrow streets, quaint cafes, shops and traditional houses, encircled by the fortifications of the 15th-century Portuguese castle.
Take as much time as you wish to explore every nuke and cranny of the Medina. Don't be afraid to get a bit lost; this is the best way for you to discover the best parts and hidden gems of the old town!
This is an Anglican church of Moorish style that lacks any icons, has the Lord's Prayer in Arabic, carvings of the Quran and indications of the direction of Mecca – talk about an inter-religious phenomenon!
Continue to the Old American Legation Museum, an excellent museum dedicated to the history of Tangier and Morocco.
It was right after the American Independence in 1786, that Thomas Jefferson and Sultan Mohammad III signed a peace treaty; a fact that was known as the first acknowledgement of the independent USA in the world. Up until now, this is the single most long-lived peace treaty of the USA! The building of the museum was presented in 1821 as the Sultan's gift to the USA and served as the American Legation, until 1956 (when all embassies and legations were relocated to Rabat).
The legation is the first building in a foreign country that was listed as a US national landmark. The museum is dedicated to the historical, cultural and diplomatic relations between the USA and the Kingdom of Morocco. Collections vary from history to art of Tangier, featuring works of art by notable American artists, dating back to the 17th – 20th centuries.
No Moroccan Medina could be considered complete without the Kasbah, the Sultan's fortified castle. Perched on top of a hill overlooking the Medina, the Sultanate Palace Dar el-Makhzen now houses the Museum of Moroccan Art and Antiquities. Also known as the Kasbah Museum, it boasts a large collection of artefacts, textiles, tapestry, ceramics and jewellery of the past.
The best time to visit Tangier is during the months of spring and autumn, when rainfall is occasional and temperatures remain at pleasant levels, 20ºC-25ºC during daytime and 10ºC lower during the night.
Summer in Tangier is extremely hot, temperatures can rise up to 40ºC, but it's in no way prohibitive, as long as you are prepared and organised.

Trimet expands production in France
France's Minister of Economic Affairs Macron visits aluminum smelter in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne
By commissioning additional electrolytic furnaces, Trimet has expanded the production capacity of its aluminum smelter in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne. The medium-sized family enterprise will invest about 100 million euros in expanding its production sites in France over the next three years.
On Saturday, September 6, 2014, the French Minister of Economic Affairs, Emmanuel Macron, visited Trimet's aluminum smelter in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne. At a commissioning ceremony with the full staff, Trimet put further electrolytic furnaces into operation for the aluminum production. Together with Trimet's owner, Heinz-Peter Schlüter, the Minister gave the starting signal for production line F, which had been decommissioned in 2009 and was repaired over the past few months in an elaborate process. By resuming operation of the decommissioned facilities, the production capacity will be increased over the next few months from 90,000 tons to approximately 145,000 tons annually. "I am very proud that Saint-Jean will soon be producing this high-quality and sustainable material at full speed. We have taken an important step today on the path to full capacity. In its history of more than a century, this production site has always been at the forefront of technological development. Today, we are sending out a clear ignal that this will also continue to be the case in the future," said Dr. Martin Iffert, CEO of Trimet Aluminium SE and President of Trimet France SAS.
The commissioning of production line F is part of a comprehensive investment program, which amounts to nearly 100 million euros over the next three years. With the planned expansion of foundry plants, Trimet plans to restore full production capacity to the location in the Savoy Alps, which it acquired nine months ago, thereby creating new jobs.
Trimet had taken over the aluminum smelter in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne from Rio Tinto Alcan in December 2013, together with its partner location in Castelsarrasin, with around 500 employees. It consistently orients production on customized material solutions for the automotive industry and the energy sector. The French energy provider EDF holds a minority interest in Trimet France SAS.

Dubai, Chef Atul Kochhar fired from JW Marriott Marquis for Anti-Islamic tweets
Dubai Hotel, JW Marriott Marquis sacked Michelin chef, Atul Kochhar who was responsible for Indian inspired Rang Mahal in its premises for his Anti-Islam tweet in relation to the controversy involving actress Priyanka Chopra. But, even as he has been fired from the job, the hotel is going to continue functioning without his presence. The offensive tweet has been deleted, but, Kochhar had written, "It's sad to see that you (Priyanka) have not respected the sentiments of Hindus who have been terrorized by Islam over 2000 years. Shame on You (sic)." The controversy rose because of an episode in Priyanka Chopra's show, Quantico, which had a plot point that included Hindu terrorism, because of the showcase of Rudraksh in the hands of the attacker.
Atul received a lot of criticism for his tweet, which could be used to perpetuate hate for the actress online. He deleted the tweet and then posted an apology, saying, "There is no justification for my tweet … I fully recognise my inaccuracies that Islam was founded round 1400 years ago and I sincerely apologise. I am not Islamophobic, I deeply regret my comments that have offended many."
It seems that the damage was already done, as Arab journalist Khaled Almaeena responded to his apology by saying, "You (Kochhar) have offended me..As a person who loves India its people no matter what their caste or creed. As a secular and liberal, it truly is a horror statement."
He then posted another, longer apology on twitter, and stated, "I would like to apologize unreservedly to My Muslim friends, the Islamic community, and everyone I have offended with my recent tweets. They were insensitive and wrong. My work and my restaurants are defined by a passion to unite cultures through food and understanding. I have let myself and my colleagues down. I am upset and sorry for the pain I have caused and ask for your forgiveness."
pic.twitter.com/KRBFr44n0y
— Atul Kochhar (@atulkochhar) June 12, 2018
There is no justification for my tweet, a major error made in the heat of the moment on Sunday. I fully recognise my inaccuracies that Islam was founded around 1,400 years ago and I sincerely apologise. I am not Islamophobic, I deeply regret my comments that have offended many.

When trying to sync my Samsung Epix I encounter a problem when trying to synch when I have Browser favorites checked.
I am using exchange for mail so contacts, calendar and tasks are not checked.
All other options were checked, except where I was conducting tests as outlined below.
Un-checking only "Browser favorites" I do not have any issues, and the sync completes successfully.
Un-checking only "Current Location" I get the following message "uploading changes to browser favorites" and it just sites there until I stop the sync. It was trying to sync 1 of 1.
Seeing that I had all but one favorite synced, I decided to run thru the list of favorites that had successfully synchronized and the list I had on my WMD.
No special anything in the address, I removed it from my favorites, turned on all sync options and this time it was successful.
Not sure, why this one address was causing the entire sync to fail, but it did.

The mention of pollution in our lakes, rivers, and oceans often evokes images of sea turtles trapped in the plastic rings that bind aluminum cans together. But while traveling "garbage patches" affect our ocean's, fish, and wildlife, the Great Lakes are experiencing dangerous levels of pollution from the smallest of particles.
According to a 2016 study from the Rochester Institute of Technology, approximately 22 million pounds of plastic flows into the Great Lakes each year with the highest concentrations reported in Lake Michigan and Lake Erie. Much of this pollution is comprised of microplastics, small particles that are added to toothpaste, body wash, and other personal care items - and, at one time, Lake Erie had more microplastic pollution than any other body of water on Earth.

AJC Global Forum 2013 shows stronger Hellenic-Israeli cooperation
On June 2-4, 2013 the American Jewish Committee held its 2013 Global Forum in Washington D.C. The conference that was attended by more than 1500 people hosted a keynote speech by US Secretary of State John Kerry and four foreign ministers, including the Foreign Minister of Greece Dimitris Avramopoulos. In his speech, Mr. Avramopoulos made reference to the closing ties between Greece and Israel, as the only two democracies in the region.
Dimitris L. Avramopoulos, Foreign Minister of Greece
The Greek Foreign Minister praised the blossoming cooperation between Greece and Israel, which aims at promoting stability and economic growth in Greece's and Israel's neighborhood in the face of recent upheavals in the region. He said that in the coming months, Greece and Israel were going to build a "network of cooperation" by signing at least 20 agreements. Mr. Avramopoulos came directly from a visit to Jerusalem, where he held direct talks with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Secretary of State John Kerry addressing the forum
Other distinguished guest speakers at the conference included the foreign ministers of Poland, Azerbaijan and the Czech Republic, the justice minister of Israel Tzipi Livni, as well as several Members of Congress who participated in panels and discussed about security, immigration, foreign and domestic policy. The keynote address at the Forum was delivered by US Secretary of State John Kerry who said that the United States will always protect the security of its allies in the Eastern Mediterranean and that the next few days are critical for jump-starting the peace process in the Middle East.
Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni
There was a significant presence of the Greek-American community in this year's AJC conference. In particular, both AHC Executive Director Alexander Mizan and HALC Executive Director Endy Zemenides were present at the conference as well as Andy Manatos of Manatos & Manatos. The AJC also hosted youth members of the Jewish community of Greece.
A presentation was made to attendees at the conference from the newly appointed Ambassador of Cyprus to the US, Hon. George Chacalli, on the fast-developing cooperation between Israel and Cyprus in the field of energy and in particular natural gas exploration in Cyprus' Exclusive Economic Zone. The strong presence of the Greek-American community comes on the heels of increased cooperation between the two communities.

AJC President Robert Elman
As part of the joint advocacy campaign conducted during the conference, representatives of both communities visited their Congressional representatives jointly and discussed the recently formed Congressional Hellenic-Israeli Alliance (CHIA) and described why it makes sense for the US Government to support closer cooperation between Greece, Israel & Cyprus. The CHIA is a newly formed caucus with the goal of promoting stability in the region by strengthening the ties between the US, Greece, Cyprus and Israel under the premise that the latter three are the only western-style democracies in the Eastern Mediterranean and the only reliable US allies in the region. CHIA was formed in February 2013 as a bilateral initiative and it is headed by Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) and Rep. Ted Deutsch (D-FL).

Tom Foley
Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Democrat Tom Foley was swept out of office in 1994 in an election many Republicans referred to as a "Republican Revolution." Foley served from the 89th to 103rd Congress (1965-1995) and was speaker from 1989 to 1995 but fell out of favor with fellow House members following his handling of the House banking scandal of the early 1990s.
Tom Foley was born on March 16, 1929, in Spokane, Washington. His father, Ralph E. Foley, was a lawyer who was Spokane County prosecutor in the 1930s before becoming a superior-court judge for 35 years, the longest tenure in Washington state history. His mother was Helen Marie Higgins.
Although Foley grew up in a middle-class neighborhood populated mainly by Republicans, he gained much sympathy for the less fortunate from his parents and experienced blue-collar life in the summers of his high school years working in the Kaiser Aluminum plant in Spokane. Foley attended Gonzaga High School where he was an indifferent student, even flunking a course in algebra. He was little better at Gonzaga University where he matriculated in 1947. In fact, the dean of the school gave him an ultimatum: improve your grades or leave. Foley left, transferring to the University of Washington from which he earned a B.A. in 1951. He then entered Washington Law School with the goal of becoming a lawyer like his father. He managed to stay only one day, leaving after an assistant dean of the law school described the law as a business. Foley then enrolled in the University of Washington's Graduate School of Far Eastern and Russian Studies. After two years there Foley returned to the law school, graduating with an LL.B. in 1957.
His first legal position was as a partner in the law firm of Higgins and Foley in Spokane soon after graduation. Following in his father's footsteps, he became deputy prosecutor in Spokane County the following year. He held this post for two years while, ironically, also instructing law students at Gonzaga University. In 1960 he became assistant attorney general for the state of Washington.
Foley's first taste of life in the nation's capital came when Senator Henry (Scoop) Jackson, a friend of his father's, hired him as special counsel to the Senate Interior and Insular Affairs Committee in 1961, a post he filled until 1964. At the urging of Jackson, he then ran for Congress from the Fifth District of Washington against a 27-year Republican veteran of the House, Walt Horan. The district was Republican and primarily rural, but it also included Spokane. The seat was considered so secure that no other Democrat had filed for the nomination when Foley made his last-minute decision to do so. Supported by the two Democratic senators from the state and organized labor, and helped by the Lyndon Johnson 1964 landslide, Foley won by a narrow margin in a campaign that was noticeably polite and positive.
Foley entered Congress as a Johnson liberal, supporting Great Society programs and only later opposing the Vietnam War. His positions remained generally liberal during his terms of office. He was pro-choice despite his Catholic background and supported the Equal Rights Amendment. He opposed capital punishment, a constitutional amendment allowing school prayer, aid to the contras, the MX missile, nuclear testing, term limits, and, a notable deviation, gun control. The last position was one in keeping with the traditions of the West and his own district. His popularity slipped in Nixon's re-election victory in 1972, and he almost lost his seat in 1978 and in the Reagan victory in 1980.
In 1968 he married Heather Strachen and continued his steady and unspectacular rise in the House. In 1974 he became chair of the Democratic Study Group, which was energized by the large number of "Watergate" freshmen. Foley led the group's fight to end the seniority system and to open committee hearings. Despite this, he personally refused to help oust 75-year-old W. R. Poage of Texas, the chairman of the House Agricultural Committee on which Foley served. A grateful Poage, although defeated, nominated Foley for the chairmanship. Foley won and at age 45 became the youngest chair of a major congressional committee and the first westerner to chair the House Agricultural Committee. As chairman until 1981 and vice chair until 1986, he tried to re-orient the Agriculture Department toward nutrition and consumer interests instead of being primarily involved with livestock and grain producers.
Foley's next major post was as head of the Democratic Caucus, defeating Shirley Chisholm in 1976. He further solidified Democratic support for his mediating ways so that when John Brademus of Indiana lost his seat in the 1980 election, Foley assumed his position as House majority whip, the third highest ranking position in party leadership. Foley served in that capacity for three terms, through 1986. He moved up to House majority leader in 1987 as a consequence of Jim Wright vacating that position to assume the speakership. As majority leader in the trying years of 1987-1989 when the Iran-Contra affair was in the headlines, Foley proved to be a calming influence in his service on the Permanent Select Committee To Investigate Covert Arms Transactions with Iran. As a result, members of the House voted him its most respected member in 1988 and again in 1989.
In 1989 Jim Wright ran afoul of the House Ethics Committee, which charged him with financial improprieties, and he resigned as speaker. Foley then became the 49th Speaker of the House, the highest leadership post. In the early 1990s, Foley fell victim to controversy over House members' bounced checks at the House bank. Foley was sharply criticized by members of his own party for how he handled the House banking scandal, which received much media attention and raised the ire of the electorate. His greatest sin, according critics, was not protecting his own flock in the House. At least one member called for Foley to resign his post at the end of 1992. "We're angry he knew about this mess and sat on his duff for three years," said one senior House member in 1992. "He was so concerned with the institution that he sacrificed his members."
Back home in Washington, members of an electorate said to be 60 percent in favor of term limits became incensed at Foley's pursuit of a 16th consecutive term in the House. Foley filed a lawsuit against a state initiative to limit terms, challenging such limits on federal officeholders as unconstitutional. In the state's September 1994 open primary, five Republican and Democratic candidates split the vote, allowing Foley to just squeak by with a meager 35 percent. It was the second-worst showing of his 16 congressional campaigns. Foley's Republican challenger, George Nethercutt, capitalized on public sentiment and pledged to serve no more than three terms if elected. Further, he said, "I would never sue my constituents to save my job."
Foley's reelection campaign labored under at least two other burdens. Voters, who in the past had been accustomed to Foley's pork barrel-style politics, were growing doubtful such tactics were good for the country. "It's basically pork. Even though we live here, it just isn't right," said one voter. Foley also angered gun-toting voters in his state with efforts to pass a ban on assault-weapons. National Rifle Association (NRA) advertisements opposing the ban featured Foley as a target for defeat.
Foley lost to Nethercutt in the "Republican Revolution" of 1994. Representative Newt Gingrich, a Republican from Georgia, became speaker of the House and was considered by many to carry the banner of incoming Republicans, at least for the time being. Foley was critical of Republicans' description of their sweeping victory in the House. "They were wrong to use the term 'Republican Revolution.' This country isn't revolutionary. It's centrist." Foley later became chairman of President Bill Clinton's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board.

text:
Émile eller om uppfostran (fransk originaltitel Émile ou de l'éducation) är ett halvfiktivt verk författat av den franska upplysningsfilosofen Jean Jacques Rousseau och utgivet år 1762.

Rousseau försökte i och med Émile utmana den traditionella synen på barnuppfostran och utbildning. Barn sågs tidigare som små, ofärdiga vuxna i miniatyr och uppfostran och utbildning syftade till att forma barnen till avbilder av sina föräldrar. I Émile ses barndomen istället som ett oskyldigt naturtillstånd. Boken handlar om en ung man, Émile, som växer upp utan sina föräldrar och uppfostras och undervisas i stället av en privatlärare, Rousseau själv. Han blir inte uppfostrad till att ha en särskild religion, vanor eller fördomar.

Rousseau försöker visa skillnaden mellan två olika sorts uppfostran, och hur den utvecklar dess lärjungar. Den ena, traditionell uppfostran, kunde jämföras med en bonde och hans son. Sonen gör precis som han blir åtsagd av fadern, lär sig vanorna och utför dem resten av sitt liv. Helt utan att själv ställa sig någon tanke som skulle kunna utveckla sin kunskap. Den andra uppfostran gick ut på att lärjungen fick lära av naturen och kunde utveckla sitt individuella tänkande. Helt utan påtryckning av den andra något auktoritära ledarskapsstilen. Rousseau önskade således att varje människa skulle få möjligheten att bilda sin egen uppfattning.

Även synen på manlig och kvinnlig uppfostran skulle särskiljas. Mannen sågs som kvinnans överhuvud, men dock inte helt utan att vara på sin vakt. Han skulle passa sig för kvinnans lättsinne och inte låta sig luras av hennes fagra gestalt. Kvinnan i sin tur skulle inte låta sig fördummas och foga sig i allt, utan Rousseau uppmuntrade allas intelligens. Flickor skulle dock inte uppmuntras till att bli fritt tänkande varelser, utan deras lekar och sysselsättningar ska ideligen avbrytas, deras tankar ska inte få utvecklas fritt utan flickor ska bli vana att formas av andra människors önskningar. Flickors uppfostran ska syfta till att flickorna ska bli följsamma, gladlynta och anpassningsbara. Hennes vilja ska tidigt böjas efter föräldrarnas vilja såsom sedan hennes vilja ska böjas efter hennes blivande makes.

1805 trycktes en svensk översättning av Johan Wilhelm Tuderus, Carl Samuel Collnér gjorde 1808 en egen nyöversättning av boken.

En översättning av Johan Bergman utkom 1892, den senaste av C.A. Fahlstedt, bearbetad av Inga-Britt Hansson, utkom 1977–1978 i två volymer.

I want to extract different part of different sequences from a file within a range, like so:
AT1G01250   45  102
AT1G03800   65  109

I found a Python-based program, atgc-tools, but it is very picky to take any input file format, so it's not convenient for a large dataset. Can any one suggest a Perl-based solution.?

A: This task is pretty easily done with Biopython:
from Bio import SeqIO

records = SeqIO.parse('sequences.fasta', 'fasta')
record_dict = SeqIO.to_dict(records)  # dict of records, accessible by accession

ranges_by_accession = {'AT1G01250.1': (45, 102),
                       'AT1G03800.1': (65, 109)}

for accession, (start, end) in ranges_by_accession.items():
    record = record_dict[accession]
    subseq_record = record[start:end]  # For the full record (with header)
    subseq = record.seq[start:end]  # For only the subsequence
    print subseq

If you'd prefer Perl, I'd suggest checking out BioPerl and its corresponding module SeqIO.
