Flood of claims for 'Noah's Ark'
By Joe Kovacs
Published July 16, 2006 at 1:00am
After centuries of scouring the Earth for Noah's Ark, claims are now flooding in that the legendary vessel of the Bible has been found.

Last month, headlines screamed that a Texas team of archaeologists believed they had possibly located the biblical boat in Iran.
But hang on to the "Hallelujah!" chorus a little longer.
There are numerous claims about the final resting place, from Ararat to Armenia. With modern technology and digital photography being utilized in the hunt, it seems like everyone is finding what they think is Noah's Ark.
The Iran claim
As WorldNetDaily reported June 30, a 14-man crew that included evangelical apologist Josh McDowell says it returned from a trek to a mountain in Iran with possible evidence of the remains of Noah's Ark.
The group, led by explorer Bob Cornuke, found an unusual object perched on a slope 13,120 feet above sea level.
Cornuke, president of the archeological Base Institute and a veteran of nearly 30 expeditions in search of Bible artifacts and locations, said he is cautiously, but enthusiastically, optimistic about the find.
Some of the team's photos can be seen here.
Also on the team were Barry Rand, former CEO of Avis; Boone Powell, former CEO of Baylor Medical Systems; and Arch Bonnema, president of Joshua Financial.
The team returned with video footage of a large black formation, about 400 feet long – the approximate length of the ark, according to the Bible – that looks like rock but bears the image of hundreds of massive, wooden, hand-hewn beams.
Bonnema observed: "These beams not only look like petrified wood, they are so impressive that they look like real wood – this is an amazing discovery that may be the oldest shipwreck in recorded history."
The team said one piece of the blackened rock is "cut" at 90-degree angle.

Even more intriguing, they said, some of the wood-like rocks tested this week proved to be petrified wood.
It's noteworthy, they pointed out, that the Bible recounts Noah sealed his ark with pitch, a black substance.
Despite the hype, there are those who maintain the vessel is definitely on Mount Ararat, in present-day Turkey.
Among them is Edward Crawford, a former draftsman illustrator for the U.S. military who now teaches Christian theology at Evergreen Bible Presbyterian Church in the Seattle suburb of Pullayup, Wash.
Crawford has made numerous climbs up Ararat, and says in 1990, he discovered a large, rectangular structure buried in the ice at an elevation of 14,765 feet.
"I don't have any doubt about it at all, and the Turks don't either," he told WND.
He says the structure currently sits under snow and ice, which he calls "ridiculously hard stuff," but he expects it will be at its highest point above the frozen water this summer, as forecasts call for an unusual warm-up.
Crawford has put much of his discovery online at a website called Project von Bora, where photographs and diagrams are available, and he alleges the structure has 90-degree angles.

"Those don't happen in nature," he said. "If you think someone went up there to build that, it would take a greater miracle than the Flood [of Noah] itself."
Crawford is now urging the Ankara government to formally acknowledge his find, and grant him permission to explore the site again this summer.
"This is not a politically correct discovery," he said. "I never imagined that I would discover the structure and its disposition. I had no idea it would take this long to sort through the Turkish red tape."
Not far from Crawford's "structure" on Mount Ararat is something which made headlines in March with the release of a new, high-resolution digital image of what has become known as the "Ararat Anomaly."

The location of the anomaly on the mountain's northwest corner has been under investigation from afar by ark hunters for years, but it has remained unexplored, with the government of Turkey not granting any scientific expedition permission to explore on site.
"I've got new found optimism ... as far as my continuing push to have the intelligence community declassify some of the more definitive-type imagery," Porcher Taylor, an associate professor in paralegal studies at the University of Richmond, said at the time.
For more than three decades, Taylor has been a national security analyst, and has also served as a senior associate for five years at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C.
"I had no preconceived notions or agendas when I began this in 1993 as to what I was looking for," he said. "I maintain that if it is the remains of something manmade and potentially nautical, then it's potentially something of biblical proportions."
The anomaly remains ensconced in glacial ice at an altitude of 15,300 feet, and Taylor says the photos suggest its length-to-width ratio is close to 6:1, as indicated in the Book of Genesis.
The mountains of Ararat
Some 15 miles from Mount Ararat is perhaps the most well-known candidate vying for the title of Noah's Ark.

A boat-shaped object thought by many to be the fossilized remnants of the the vessel sits in Dogubayazit, Turkey, and was first photographed in 1959 by a Turkish air force pilot on a NATO mapping mission.
It gained worldwide attention after its photo was published in a 1960 issue of Life Magazine.
The man most responsible for promoting this location as the ark's actual resting place from the Bible was Ron Wyatt, who died of cancer in 1999 after years of searching for biblical antiquities, also claiming to have found the remains of Pharaoh's chariots that chased Moses through the Red Sea, and the "true" location of Mount Sinai in Arabia.
In 2004, Wyatt's widow, Mary Nell Wyatt Lee, published a history of the discovery in a book titled, "The Boat-Shaped Object on Doomsday Mountain."
She writes that on Dec. 12, 1987, "it was the official decision of members of [Turkey's] Ministry of Foreign Affairs, of Internal Affairs, and researchers from Ataturk University, among others, that the boat-shaped formation did indeed contain the remains of Noah's Ark!"
An Associated Press story from that month read:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A group of Turkish researchers has decided that a boat-shaped formation found in 1977 on a hill in eastern Turkey is the remains of Noah's Ark, a Turkish tourism official says.
Mary Nell's Cornersville, Tenn.-based foundation, Wyatt Archaeological Research, is filled with on-location photographs and charts promoting its case with physical evidence including radar scans of bulkheads on the alleged vessel, deck timber and iron rivets, large "drogue" stones which are thought to have acted as types of anchors.
However, there's been no shortage of critics from both scientific and Christian circles who think the Dogubayazit site is erroneous.
Lorence Collins, a retired geology professor from California State University, Northridge, joined the late David Fasold, a one-time proponent of the Wyatt site, in writing a scientific summary claiming the location is "bogus."
"Evidence from microscopic studies and photo analyses demonstrates that the supposed Ark near Dogubayazit is a completely natural rock formation," said the 1996 paper published in the Journal of Geoscience Education. "It cannot have been Noah's Ark nor even a man-made model. It is understandable why early investigators falsely identified it."
The Armenian factor
The final entrant is Leroy Blevins, a New Richmond, Ohio, man who carries a 1950 Catholic Press Bible which states the ark rested "upon the mountains of Armenia," leading him to believe the location of the vessel is indeed in the former Soviet republic.

Blevins offers little proof for his claim, except a series of photos on his website, as he purports the ark is situated on Armenia's highest point Mount Aragats, not to be confused with the similar sounding Ararat in Turkey.
"No one has ever looked for Noah's Ark on this mountain in Armenia," he told WND. "There is a rectangle-shaped boat on the top of this mountain. This boat has what appears to be either a vent or windows. You can see the whole outline of this ship and it is locked in the mountains. ... You can see that it is big and man-made."
Joe Zias, a Jerusalem-based anthropologist who is a former curator at the Israel Antquities Authority, is quick to throw cold water on all these claims of the ark being discovered.
"Just when I think I've seen it all, another group of nutters shows up," he told WND.
Zias says the parties making the discovery claims are "pimping" off the Bible for money, suggesting they have no training in geology, archaeology or anthropology; nor any peer-reviewed articles, university appointments and "any credibility whatsoever in academic circles."
"Aside from myself who follows this craziness, few if any in the profession have ever heard of them," he said.
In both the Old and New Testaments, the Bible speaks of Noah and the ark, and Jesus Christ and the apostles Paul and Peter all make reference to Noah's flood as an actual historical event.
According to Genesis, Noah was a righteous man who was instructed by God to construct a large vessel to hold his family and many species of animals, as a massive deluge was coming to purify the world which had become corrupt.
Genesis 6:5 states: "And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."
Noah was told by God to take aboard seven pairs of each of the "clean" animals – that is to say, those permissible to eat – and two each of the "unclean" variety. (Gen. 7:2)
Though the Bible says it rained for 40 days and 40 nights, it also mentions "the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days."
The ark then "rested" upon the mountains of Ararat, but it was still months before Noah and his family – his wife, his three sons and the sons' wives – were able to leave the ark and begin replenishing the world.

Former Islamic State militants captured by Kurdish forces in Northern Syria told CNN correspondent Ivan Watson that IS (ISIL or ISIS) leaders drugged and brainwashed them to fight for "Islam and justice."
The first prisoner, identified as Suleiman, told Watson he received $3,600 to detonate a car bomb outside a Kurdish military base.
"They said they were fighting for Islam and justice. They were lying to us," Suleiman said. "They took advantage of our minds and our poverty."
The next prisoner was a 19-year-old named Kareem, who fought for IS in Syria for more than a year.
"They gave us drugs-hallucinogenic pills that would make you go to battle not caring if you live or die," Kareem said.
Kareem explained why IS beheads those who violate its interpretation of Islamic law.
"Whenever ISIS goes into an area, the people there who don't adhere to their Islamic law are apostates," Kareem said. "Everything has to follow ISIS's way. Even women who don't cover their faces. Women would also get their heads chopped off."
The final prisoner, Jaber, said that if IS militants had found Watson, an American journalist, he would have met the same fate as James Foley, Steven Sotloff, and David Haines.
"With ISIS, your fate would be death," Jaber said. "There are different kinds of death. They would torture you, for sure. They might decapitate you, or cut off your hands. They will not simply shoot a bullet in your head."

You need a lot of stuff written, but you are not that good with your words? We know how tough that can be. That is why the very best thing you can do to fix this problem is to find a good writing service that will not cost you an arm and a leg. But, the Internet is overflowing with offers – how will you find the best one? We have you covered. Here's a list of the best affordable writing services online.
What Do Writing Services Offer?
Any kind of writing you might want. You see, the need for original writing will never decrease, but if you're not a professional writer, your inspiration just might run out.
That's why there are hundreds upon hundreds of people who are offering affordable writing services online. You just need to provide the topic, your instructions, and professional writers will take care of the rest.
Writing services can write absolutely anything you need. You need a description of products you're selling? No problem. A press release for you initial coin offering? They can do it. You need a tremendous copywriting piece that will showcase your business? You got it. Same goes for technical writing, cover letters, articles, blog posts, reviews, and creative writing tasks.
No one is good at everything, and the sooner you realize where your strengths lie, the better for you.
Most affordable writing services don't only offer writing but additional perks as well. Some guarantee that if you find a single grammatical error, you get a full refund. Others give you unlimited revisions, which is a great way to make sure you're 100% satisfied with the final product.
Depending on the amount of cash at your disposal, you can choose the quality of writing, when you want your order delivered, whether you want the writing to be done in the US or UK English, etc.
When Are Writing Services Necessary?
You don't have to hire a writing service every single time you need a social media post or a newsletter, but there are situations when you need a professional.
If you're not a marketing superstar, and you want the best for your business, you need a writing service to create content for you. An experienced writer will produce website content, an ad, or a press release that will be engaging, interesting, original, and search engine optimized without batting an eye. On the other hand, if you decide to try and do this on your own, it might take hours, if not days, and the final product might not be as good.
Whether it is an online magazine, an affiliate website, or a blog, at some point you will need help. Being a one-man-band can only work for so long before you burn out. So, get some help. Choose a writing service that specializes in the kind of writing you need, tell them what has to be done and how, and relax a bit.
Sure, you know your strengths and weaknesses, and how to introduce yourself properly, but a professional that specializes in this area can help you to land your dream job. Whether you need a new resume, a cover letter, or an update of your LinkedIn profile, a writing service can make all the difference.
So, you know you need an excellent writing service that offers affordable writing. Well, if you're ready to pay top buck for it, you'll find it in no time. On the other hand, if you're on a limited budget, and you still want amazing results, affordable writing services are a must.
In-house writers – When a writing service boasts about having an in-house team of writers, that means that the company handpicked those people. While marketplace writing services aren't bad as such, and some great ones made it to our list, there's a higher probability you will experience issues with them.
Guarantee of content originality – You don't want a copy of someone else's work or something that will mess up your Google ranking. So, look for services that guarantee that all of their content passes Copyscape or some other plagiarism detection engine.
Impeccable grammar – Yes, this is incredibly important. Whether it's a blog post, a press release, or a cover letter, if your service delivers an article that is ridden with mistakes, move to another one.
Quick delivery – This just means that the writing service you selected has a decent number of writers and that they value you as a customer. One to three days per average assignment is OK, anything more is not a great sign.
SEO – Even LinkedIn profiles need search engine optimization nowadays. Everything that goes online has to be optimized, so you can't just skip this step. Look for writing services that offer SEO with every writing task. That will make your job even easier.
Clearly stated prices – You want to do business with transparent companies – with those who aren't trying to hide their costs to trick you into overspending.
Delivery time – if their delivery times are seven days or more per assignment, skip the service. You don't want to wait forever for each correction.
Hidden fees – read the small letters. Their price per 100 words might be fantastic, but they also might charge extra for faster delivery, or proofreading by their editors, or even for plagiarism checks.
This writing service has done work for some of the largest brands in the world, as well as for thousands of individuals and small businesses. On their list of clients are AVON, oDesk, and CBS, so you know that they provide high-quality writing. All of their writers are in-house, and they guarantee that talented professionals will write your content.
Whether you need a blog post, web page, product description, article, white paper, press release, or a social media post, their price remains the same.
This is the highest rated content writing service in the USA, but although good, it's not the most affordable one. They do offer 24/7 email support and live chat and phone support from Monday to Friday, which is a great plus whenever you're working with a writing service. Everything they write is thoroughly search engine optimized, their turnaround time is usually three days, and they offer unlimited revisions. A nice additional perk is the fact that they deliver articles, blogs, and web pages with HD images, ready to publish. The only serious flaw here? They don't offer refunds.
SureWrite has been in this field since 1996, and their goals are simple. They believe that cheap articles don't have to be poorly written. That is why they deliver high-quality content that you can use however you want. They have a skilled team of native writers, proofreaders that check everything, and an editor who works closely with the team.
If you order a rewrite, the price is $9.95 for 500 words, but if you decide to order an original article, you will pay $18.95 for 500 words. SureWrite SEO focuses on articles, but if you contact them and ask for a different kind of writing, they will make it work.
This company has been around for a while for a good reason. They offer simple services, their pricing is simple, and they never promise what they can't deliver. If you order up to 100 articles, they guarantee 3-5 days return time. For 500 articles or more, they will need 2 to 3 weeks, and we have to say, that is more than a fair offer. They guarantee that all of their articles will pass Copyscape, and be SEO-friendly. Although they are among the best affordable writing services, and their services are great, they are not the cheapest writing service around, which is why they are 14th on our list.
This company is perfect when you need a lot of articles that belong in the same niche, and that focus on the same keyword. They do call themselves The Article Factory for a good reason – they delivered over 1 million articles! And, they like to keep things simple. When you order from them, you can't choose the topic, or give a ton of instructions. You use a short keyword that has maximum 2 words, and you get to choose how many articles you want.
Their system is the most interesting one among affordable writing services. The Article Factory delivers articles in bulk, which allows them to have the lowest price online. The minimum for an order is 5 articles, and they all have to have one simple keyword in common.
This writing service guarantees that every article you order from them will pass Copyscape. If one of them doesn't, you can send it back to them, and they will replace it with a new one. Their usual delivery time is a few hours, but it can take up to 24 hours. Since they write your articles based on the keyword you choose (1 keyword per 5 articles), these are also search engine optimized.
HireWriters is a company that offers affordable writing services of thousands of native English writers. Although their website doesn't really look promising, they've been around for a while, and they know what they're doing. Their writers are mostly non-native English speakers, but if you're in a pinch, you can always correct spelling and grammar.
HireWriters' detailed pricing chart is available on their website. Their prices depend on two things – the type of content that needs to be written, and the preferred writer's skill level. Whether you want eBooks, articles, poetry, Facebook posts, or rewrites, they can deliver.
HireWriters guarantees turnaround time of 24 hours, but if you're in a hurry, you can ask for a 6-hour delivery. They guarantee satisfaction and originality – if you're not happy with the writing you got, you can ask for a refund, and they will grant it.
This professional blog writing service is completely aware of what clients need, and they are ready to deliver it. If you don't have enough time to manage your blog, you can simply let them do it. This company boasts that their team consists of U.S. based native English speakers, who are all college graduates.
Price Range: $0.188 / word – $0.15 / word for single articles.
If you order a single 400-word blog post, it will cost you $0.188 per word. If you decide to take a single 700-word post, it will cost $0.18, and if you choose 1000 words, the price will be $0.15 per word. But, if you decide to take articles in bulk, they are a lot more affordable – the prices go as low as $0.06 per word.
If you're really low on resources, this Indian freelance writing service can offer a lot. Their process is 100% transparent, there are no hidden charges, and they offer content in over 20 languages. As this is a marketplace-type writing service, they have thousands of writers available. But, you have to pay attention when you're choosing a writer here – native level English is not a frequent occurrence. However, they do rank their writers, so if you want the best, just pick a 5-star writer, and you're good.
Their writers are separated into 4 groups. Standard – less experienced writers, beginner English, $0.003 per word. Experienced – average writers, intermediate English, $0.01 per word. Verified – highly experienced, advanced English, $0.03 per word. Hand-picked – exclusive writers/editors, $0.07 per word.
Content Mart guarantees SEO, and they claim that you don't have to pay if you're not happy with the content you received. They offer unlimited revisions and original content. So, if you really need affordable writing services, and you're ready to wait a bit before your content is ready to be published, you can give them a shot.
One of the ways to save money when it comes to affordable writing services is to hire a service that outsources the work. However, a lot of people are reluctant about outsourcing as they worry about quality. Well, with Textun, you know that you will get high-quality writing every single time. All of their writers are native English speakers either from the US or the UK.
The price you will pay depends on the content type and the quality you wish to order. Article writing costs $0.02 per word for standard quality and $0.025 for premium. Copywriting will cost you $ 0.03, and eBook writing will end up at $0.035 per word.
Textun seems to be more than happy to offer limitless revisions at no cost until you are perfectly happy with the product. Just bear in mind, you have three days from the day of the receipt of your article to request a revision. They also guarantee that their content will pass Copyscape. On the other hand, they, unfortunately, don't offer refunds.
We have written a detailed review about ContentDevelopmentPros, which you can read here.
When you open their website, you won't be impressed, that's for sure. But, what they lack in web design, they make up for where it matters. One of the more popular affordable writing services around is Content Development Pros. Their team includes 75+ in-house writers, and they are all native English speakers.
Once more, the price depends on the type of writing you need, and the number of words you want. Their prices are transparent, so you won't have to guess how much you'll need to pay.
This is what they offer – Copyscape clear content, SEO friendly, 0% mistakes guaranteed, and a possibility of a refund if you're not satisfied with the content. Although their refund policy is a bit vague, it is still better than no refund policy. We like the fact that their official turnaround time is 3 days, while the content usually arrives within 2.
This service features US-born, experienced writers who are well versed in more than 40 genres. It was founded in 2008 in Edinburgh, and it has been going strong ever since. When it comes to affordable writing services, Text Royal platform is among the most user-friendly ones. You won't spend hours trying to find your way around.
Whether you need SEO and web content, product descriptions, blog posts, press releases, social media post or something completely different, Text Royal is definitely able to help. Their pricing is rather simple – you can choose between standard, premium, and enterprise writing for each category. And, the more you spend on their platform, the more discounts you receive.
Since TextRoyal has over 21,000 writers, their turnaround time is about 24 hours. Every article has to pass two programs that check originality. They guarantee unlimited revisions within 24 hours, but no refunds. Affordable writing? Definitely.
Interestingly, this writing service is owned and operated by developers, marketers, Internet designers, and writers. Their main goal is to provide everything their clients need to create and maintain a strong Internet presence. Their 30 in-house writers speak English as a primary language, and most of them have degrees in relevant fields. This isn't something most affordable writing services can claim, so we give them a big plus on account of it.
Press releases, blog posts, web copy, articles, eBooks, white papers – they aren't picky writers, so whatever you need, they can do it. Just pay attention to their prices. While their articles are $0.06 per word, other services they offer are more expensive.
Content Customs promises error-free writing, implementation of your requests, unlimited revisions, and money-back guarantee. They claim their content is original, but they never mention plagiarism checks, so we're a bit unsure on that one. You can always test them with one small order and then proceed with more if their writing fits your needs.
When you have a minuscule budget, a marketplace writing service like this one is one of the best places you can go to. They have more than 900,000 writers, and they delivered over 6.8 million articles to date. Those facts alone are quite a recommendation, don't you think?
Prices vary depending on the kind of writing you need, and the tier of the writer you choose. Standard, premium, elite, and elite plus writers are at your disposal. With this service, you can get articles, rewrites, blog posts, press releases, eBooks, and Kindle books.
iWriter has a Review Before You Pay option, which is there to make sure you don't spend a dime unless you're completely satisfied. Their turnaround time can be as fast as 30 minutes. With this speed, we expect there will be a hiccup or two, but with a revision or two, you'll be good to go.
When people think about affordable writing services, they don't really expect high quality. Well, this writing service just might change your mind. Writers are English native speakers, with years of experience in writing all sorts of content. The website is incredibly simple to use, with their 1-step checkout, and their pricing is completely transparent.
Depending on what needs to be written, and the number of words you need, prices differ significantly. But, they still aren't insanely expensive, which is why this writing service is so popular. Their offer includes product descriptions, rewrites, buying guides, adult content, SEO articles, product reviews, and about us pages.
Natasha Nixon services come with free revisions, completely original, and fully SEO optimized. Their turnaround is between 3 and 4 business days, which is more than OK. The only thing we don't like is that they don't offer refunds under any conditions, only revisions.
This 100% American based service offers competitive prices and native writers. They have been around since 2011, and they claim that you won't be simply satisfied with their writing, but that it will also affect the growth of your business. They deliver writing to over 20,000 businesses and individuals each month, so they have to be doing something right. Ordering from them is rather simple – create an account, give them instructions, pay, and wait for your content to arrive.
Their gold content is $0.05 per word. If you want an ebook written or elite content, it will cost you $0.09 per word. Anecdotes, newsletters, personal stories, blog posts and articles are all in their offer, as are custom projects, so they cover pretty much all of your basic writing needs.
Articlez offers one of the highest levels of support among affordable writing services; their support desk is staffed 18 hours a day. That means that you will never wait for days to get a ticket response, which is a great plus. Their official turnaround times are a bit slow, up to 10 days for order delivery.

Will Construction Workers Walk? Implications of the Vaccine Mandate
October 21, 2021 David Oliver
Contractors with more than 100 employees are sitting in limbo as the Occupational Health and Safety Administration finalizes its guidance on vaccine mandates. OSHA sent its recommendations to the White House for review last week, and the final approval may be granted as soon as this week.
Once the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) completes its review and publishes the rule in the Federal Register, the rule will go into effect.
President Biden announced the executive order mandating COVID-19 vaccinations or weekly testing for employers with more than 100 employees in early September. Employees of contractors who do business with the federal government must get the vaccine; there is no option for routine testing in place of immunization.
Failure to comply will result in penalties costing $14,000 per violation. Large companies will also need to provide employees paid time off for vaccination as part of the rule. The policies will affect 100 million American workers.
Lagging Vaccination Rate
Vaccine mandates could have dire consequences for the construction industry, which is already plagued by worker shortages. Currently, 53% of the construction labor force is vaccinated, according to data from the Center for Construction Research and Training (CPWR), a nonprofit founded by building trade unions. Forty-one percent of the construction labor force says it's hesitant to get the COVID-19 vaccine, CPWR says, with the top barrier being distrust of the government.
Because of the hesitancy to receive the vaccine, contractors with more than 100 employees may face the real threat of workers walking. Those reluctant to get the jab may opt to move to a smaller business that falls outside of the mandate.
Industry Groups Respond
Construction workers were among the first groups eligible to receive the vaccine, and industry associations have encouraged voluntary COVID-19 vaccination for their members and employees from the start. The Associated General Contractors of America and Associated Builders and Contractors say a mandate could put a strain on the industry, as well as the country's infrastructure needs.
"Many of the challenges affecting contractors are being driven by the pandemic and policy responses to it, instead of typical market conditions," said Stephen Sandherr, AGC chief executive officer,. "This federal contractor vaccination mandate could further exacerbate the industry's workforce and significantly increases federal project costs and delays to the detriment of meeting vast federal government infrastructure needs."
Ben Brubeck, ABC vice president of regulatory, labor and state affairs, echoed that sentiment, stating, "This guidance will result in additional compliance burdens, exacerbate the construction industry's skilled- workforce shortage and increase costs for federal contractors and taxpayers. ABC is philosophically opposed to federal mandates that undermine the desired policy outcome."
Conflicting requirements at the state level add to the confusion, with several governors announcing they will ban the vaccine mandate.

At Soboba Medical Weight Loss, we have been helping our clients lose weight for a long time. One effective way of helping our clients lose weight is through the process of HCG shots. Our HCG shots come from a reputable pharmaceutical, so the clients know that they are getting quality HCG shots that are effective in losing unwanted weight.
First, visit for HCG diet at SOBOBA Medical Weight Loss Clinics.
At the time of your first visit, you will be seen by a physician who is knowledgeable in the field of HCG. After discussing the available options with you, the doctor will determine whether the HCG program will benefit you.
HCG or (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a hormone produced in the placenta of women during pregnancy. Although not originally developed for the treatment of obesity, HCG has been found useful as an additional measure for weight loss.
How Do HCG Shots Work to Reduce Weight?
HCG shots, when combined with other measures, help with weight loss. When a physician prescribes HCG shots to you, he or she usually puts you on a diet to assist in losing fat weight but not muscle weight. In general, HCG shots help you lose weight in three main areas of the body. These three main areas are the hip, lower abdominal area, and the thighs. These three areas are difficult to trim in weight, and because HCG tends to help with trimming these areas, it has become very popular as an addition to weight loss treatment.
HCG is not approved for weight loss, but because it is an approved medication it can be used for weight loss at the discretion of your physician.
HCG is available as pills and drops but injection is the preferred method for weight loss.
Who Is the Right Candidate for HCG Shots?
A majority of people can use HCG shots. The final decision should be based on your physician's discretion. The physician will NOT prescribe HCG injections for women who are pregnant or nursing.
What Are the Side Effects of HCG Shots?
At SOBOBA Medical weight loss clinics, we only use the lower dosage of HCG injections for weight loss. HCG in lower dosage is safe and has no potential side effects. HCG is not working for 5% of the patients due to their body types and metabolism.
No preparations are needed for HCG injections.
There are no restrictions after the injections.
What Are Some of the Testimonials from HCG Shot Clients?
Here are some of our testimonials from satisfied patients who came to our clinic and tried some our services here at Soboba Medical Weight Loss.
"This program really taught me things that I never knew about weight loss. I am now over 50 pounds lighter and I have so much more energy to spend with my grandkids!!
How Painful Is the HCG Shot?
The HCG injections are given using a very fine needle and are relatively painless.
How Much Do HCG Shots Cost?
Soboba Weight Loss Clinics have Special Pricing for HCG Shots. Please call the office nearest you for pricing information and make sure to inquire about the buddy system that may entitle you to free treatment.
Call for free at one of our five nearest Soboba Medical Weight Loss Clinics today to redesign your body, or in other words, lose weight you don't want.
Doctor will order the HCG injections. You have a choice of coming to any of our locations in Southern California and the nurse will teach you how to self-injection the HCG.
You can use our HCG take home kits for your next injections. We can mail the future HCG packages to your address with FedEx. Once the doctor has ordered the HCG you may come into the office for your injections or learn to self-inject at home. The nurse will teach you how to self-inject the HCG and supply you with not only the HCG medication but also all the necessary supplies – needles, syringes, alcohol wipes and a sharps container.
You will also be given a step by step instruction sheet for administering the injection.

The Libya Editorial Someone Doesn't Want You To Read

Black Libyans killed and dumped in Tripoli
AFRICANGLOBE – More than two months after The Wall Street Journal wrote about what amounted to ethnic cleansing of Black people in Misurata, The New York Times in today's edition finally writes another piece about the racist attacks against Black people by the NATO-backed "rebels" from Benghazi, now installed in power. The article appears under the sanitized headline "Libyans Turn Wrath on Dark-Skinned Migrants."
Yet The New York Times, as is the case with other major media organizations, including CNN and the BBC, have had several correspondents in Libya since the insurrection started in February, including in Benghazi, where Black people were first lynched. Videos of the grizzly killings, which even the K.K.K. in the the Old South would envy, are still available for viewing, as Benghazi posted them on YouTube.
Surely the Times' reporters in Libya must have been aware of the atrocities. They must also read The Wall Street Journal. Could it be possible that editors shelved the reporters' stories, or discouraged the reporters from pursuing the stories that would have been damning to the "rebels"?
The Times' feigns surprise, when it today writes: "Human rights advocates say the rebels' scapegoating of blacks here follows a similar campaign that ultimately included lynchings after rebels took control of the eastern city of Benghazi more than six months ago."
The Times, in a clever way, focuses on the plight of migrant workers, when in fact, as The Journal reported on Misurata, many Black Libyans were targeted for extermination.
The Black Star News, without a single correspondent in Libya, has been writing about the ethnic cleansing of Black people in Libya since February, when the lynchings and beheadings started. The information is widely available from online news outlets as well as on YouTube. Up to date, The White House and the State Department have yet to utter a single word of condemnation against this ethnic cleansing or to call for prosecutions.
If the case were reversed and non-Black people had been subjected to similar atrocities, there would be a global outcry and the perpetrators would be sought and punished. NATO, which supposedly was authorized to intervene in Libya, under United Nations Security Council 1973, didn't do a thing to prevent the massacres and have yet to issue a single statement of condemnation or to hold Benghazi responsible.
No wonder the African Union has yet to recognize the regime installed in Tripoli: some African countries had considered some intervention, on behalf of migrant workers in Libya.
Blacks being rounded up and killed in Libya.
The New York Times compromised itself because its editorial pages shamefully published several commentaries calling on NATO to escalate bombings of Libya. This probably explains why it became difficult for this newspaper to publish major articles about the ethnic cleansing of Black people. The Times was aware of the disastrous public relations consequences the revelations of ethnic cleansing would have on the "rebels" claims that they offered a superior alternative to Maummar al-Quathafi.
So The New York Times found a solution; it pretended the ethnic cleansing was not happening.
What's more, if the NATO-backed "rebels" true colors had been exposed –that they were engaging in systemic K.K.K.-type racist lynchings, and indeed, in ethnic cleansing in Misurata, as The Wall Street Journal reported, then the Obama Administration might have been compelled to review its support for Benghazi.
So, it's not a coincidence that it's only after the NATO-backed "rebels" were installed in power, after the assault on Tripoli that included soldiers from Qatar, that The Times now deems it fit to write about Benghazi's atrocities, which clearly meets the threshold to be characterized as war crimes and crimes against humanity.
NATO has remained mute. This is because NATO, rather than carrying out the task of saving civilians in Libya, as tasked by the U.N. under Resolution 1973, was promptly hijacked by the mercurial French President, Nicolas Sarkozy; the organization instead became the Air Forces of Benghazi. What's more, France even dropped weapons into Western Libya, violating U.N. Resolution 1970 against arms shipments to the country.
Rather than saving lives, NATO in fact caused deaths of civilians. It's unclear how many civilians were killed by NATO bombardments over the six-months period. It's been reported that in the city of Zlitan alone, possibly 85 Libyan civilians, including children, were killed. No wonder Rep. Dennis Kucinich has written to the ICC asking for an investigation of NATO commanders on possible war crimes.
War criminals responsible fro arming the Arab terrorists who are murdering Africans in Libya.
As for The White House, there's an unavoidable ugly symbolism–that a Black president of the United States remains silent even when a people are targeted for lynching in Libya simply because of the color of their Black skin. Major organizations such as the NAACP and the Urban League, both of which profess to protect the rights of Black people, also have a stake in ensuring that their voices are heard denouncing the premeditated lynchings of Black people in Libya but they were quiet.
In The Wall Street Journal's account of the atrocities in Misurata, we learn that one neighborhood that once had a 4/5ths Black population was depopulated of its Black citizens. They were victims of a "rebel" unit, according to The Wall Street Journal article, called "The Brigade for Purging Slaves, black skin."
Why hasn't the International Criminal Court (ICC) under it's publicity seeking Prosecutor Luis Loreno Ocampo issued a single statement? Why hasn't the ICC called for sending an investigative team to Misurata to explore if there are mass graves there before evidence is destroyed? Is it because the White House or State Department has not given the ICC approval?
The primary motive for the NATO intervention wasn't about saving civilian lives. A Wall Street Journal report last week says France, Britain and Italy are already scrambling for favorable oil deals; these countries are salivating over Libya's 44 billion barrels of proven reserves.
Many lives could have been saved in Libya had President Barack Obama instructed Secretary Hillary Clinton to support the African Union Peace plan. Instead, the U.S. and NATO treated the plan with utter contempt. For the record, al-Quathafi had accepted the proposal after the two visits by South African President Jacob Zuma.
The plan called for: a ceasefire that would be verified by the International community; the creation of a humanitarian corridoor for victims of the war; negotiations to create a constitution, and; democratic elections, in which all Libyans would be eligible to compete, which would also be monitored by the International community.
The AU plan was also dismissed by some editorial pages, supposedly because the African Union was not a "neutral" party; as if NATO, the U.N., France, Britain, and the U.S., which were actually all engaged in the fighting, were "neutral" parties. Without a doubt, there was an element of racist contempt in dismissing the AU plan; it was, after all, "just" an "African" proposal. It could be ignored without any consequences.
We live in a dangerous world today when major media organizations abdicate their responsibility, not only to check the excesses and abuse of power by governments, but also their duty to report the news without prejudice or favor.
There is no better explanation as to why The New York Times did not report the ethnic cleansing of Black people in Libya since it started in February; for this, the newspaper bears some culpability. The Times did not want to discredit the "rebels"; when, in fact, in retrospect, the "rebels" who have significant numbers of Al Qaeda-affiliated commanders, deserved to be discredited.
Newspapers must avoid the business of political favoritism–especially when the lives of many innocent people are at stake. The New York Times should apologize for its shameful conduct in Libya.

A Sella-hágó (, , ladin nyelven Mëisules, grödeni ladin nyelvjárásban Jëuf de Sela, Fassa-völgyi ladin nyelvjárásban Jouf de Sela) egy 2240 méter magasan fekvő hegyi hágó a Középső-Dolomitokban. A Sella hegycsoport és a Langkofel (Sassolungo) hegycsoport között fekszik, elválasztja egymástól az északi Grödeni (Grödner, Gardena) völgyet a déli Fassa-völgytől. Népszerű túra- és télisport-központ, a Dolomiti Superski pályarendszer része.

Fekvése
A Sella-hágó a Középső-Dolomitokban, a Sella-hegycsoport keleti oldalán fekszik, elválasztva azt a Langkofel-csoporttól. A hágó összeköti a Langkofel- és Sella-csoporttól északra, kelet-nyugati irányban húzódó Grödeni-völgyet (Grödnertal, Val Gardena) és Grödeni-hágót (Grödnerjoch, Passo Gardena) a délnyugatról felhúzódó Fassa-völgytől. Vízválasztót képez az északi Grödeni-patak (Grödnerbach) és a déli Avisio patak vízgyűjtő területei között (mindkettő az Etsch (Adige) folyóba ömlik).

A hágó egyike a Sella-csoportot közrefogó négy alpesi hágónak (Sella, Gröden, Campolongo és Pordoi). A négy hágó lejtőin építették ki a Sellaronda nevű sípálya és síliftrendszert, amelynek révén a hegycsoport teljesen körbesíelhető.

A Sella-hágó teljes egészében Trentino-Dél-Tirol régió területén fekszik, a tőle északra fekvő Grödeni-völgy Dél-Tirolhoz (Bolzano megyéhez), a délre fekvő Fassa-völgy Trentinóhoz (Trento megyéhez) tartozik. A hágótól északi területei Wolkenstein in Gröden községhez, a délre fekvő terület Canazeihez, a Fassa-völgy főhelyéhez tartozik. A megye- illetve községhatár a hágótetőn húzódik.

Közlekedése

A hágón az SS244 számú országos főút halad, amely délen, Canazeinél torkollik bele az SS48-as főútba, amelyen át dél és nyugat fele, a Fassa-völgyön és a Fiemme-völgyön keresztül az A22 számú Brenner-autópályára (Autostrada del Brennero) lehet kijutni. Ugyancsak Canazeinél ágazik ki kelet felé az SP641-es tartományi út, amely a Fedaia-hágóba, a Marmolada-gleccser alá vezet.

Az SS242 út északi rámpája először a Plan de Giralba turistaközpontba vezet, ez már a Gröden-völgyi St. Christinához tartozik. Itt ágazik le kelet felé az SS243 sz. főút, amely felvezet a Grödeni-hágóra, onnan tovább le Corvara községbe, a Gader-völgybe (Alta Badia). Maga az SS242-es főút a Grödeni-völgyben kelet-északkalet felé szintén az A22-es Brenner-autópályára vezet ki, a Chiusa-Val Gardena felhajtóhoz.

Történelme
Régészeti leletek tanúsága szerint a hágó környéke már a kőkorszakban lakott volt. Az év nagy részében jól járható hágó ókori és középkori használatáról semmi közelebbit nem tudunk.

Trentino tartomány a középkorban a Tridenti Hercegérsekséghez tartozott 1796-ig, a napóleoni hódításig. A pozsonyi békeszerződés értelmében 1805-től Bajorország szerezte meg. Az 1815-ös bécsi kongresszus a Habsburg Birodalomnak adta, 1867-től az Osztrák–Magyar Monarchia részévé vált, az 1919-es saint-germaini békeszerződés értelmében az Olasz Királyság szerezte meg.

Az Osztrák–Magyar Monarchia korszakában, 1872-ben készült el a hágó kövezett útja, a mai SS244 főút elődje. 1884-ben Carlo Valentini megnyitotta az első vendégfogadót közvetlenül a Sella-hágó alatt, ezt főleg kereskedők, fuvarosok vették igénybe. 1903-ban következett a Sellajochhaus, melyet a Német és Osztrák Alpinista Egyesület (Deutscher und Österreichischer Alpenverein) épített. A harmadik vendégfogadó, a Maria Flora már az olasz impérium idején, 1934-ben épült. Mindhárom szálláshely (felújítva, átépítve) ma is üzemel, a turistaforgalmat szolgálja.

Az első világháborúban a Sella-hágó nem került közvetlenül a frontvonalra, amely délebbre, a Marmolada – Arabba – Buchenstein-völgy – Col di Lana – Falzarego-hágó – Tofanák vonalán alakult ki. (A szomszédos Pordoi-hágón osztrák–magyar tüzérség és megfigyelőállások voltak). A frontszakasz csapatainak ellátására e két hágón át drótkötélpályák épültek. (Egy másik hasonló szállítási útvonal is kiépült, a Grödeni- és a Campolongo-hágókon át).

1946. július 14-én a Sella-hágón a ladin nyelvű lakosság tömeggyűlést tartott, több ezer résztvevővel, ahol követelték a ladinok által lakott lakott völgyek és egész Dél-Tirol visszacsatolását Ausztriához, természetesen hiába.

Az 1950-es évek közepétől a Dolomitokban nőni kezdett a turistaforgalom, gyors egymásutánban épültek ki a szállodák, vendéglátóhelyek, felvonórendszerek, létrehozták a gondozott Dolomiti magashegyi túrautakat, mászóutakat és sípályákat alakították ki.

Turizmus, sport
A Sella-hágó a szomszédos Grödeni-hágóval (Passo Gardena), a Campolungo-hágóval és a Pordoi-hágóval együtt alkotja a Sellaronda (Sellarunde) elnevezésű körkörös sípálya- és síliftrendszert, amelyet a Sella hegytömb körül építettek ki az 1980-as években. Átlagos sítudású személy a Sella-kör pályáin az egész hegycsoportot néhány óra alatt megkerülheti, és még a liftek üzemidejében biztonsággal visszaérhet kiindulási pontjára. A kör bármelyik irányban körbesíelhető, a lifteket és a pályákat térképek és jelzőtáblák alapján lehet követni.

A Sella hegytömb környékének gondozott és karbantartott sípályái és síliftjei a Dolomiti Superski regionális sípálya-szövetség tagjai. A Sella-kör végig-sízéséhez a Dolomiti Superski rendszer négy zónájának jegye vagy bérlete szükséges (Fassa-völgy, Gröden, Gader-völgy-Alta Badia és Arabba).

A hágó közelében épült Sellajochhaus turistaháztól (2180 m) nyáron egy "buborékos" (álló kabinos) felvonó visz fel a Langkofel-csorbába (Langkofelscharte, 2681 m), a Toni-Demetz-menedékházhoz (a Langkofel tömbje és a Fünffingerspitze között). Innen jelzett túraösvények visznek különböző irányokba. Átlagos képzettségű turista, jó hegyjáró felszereléssel, gondozott sziklaösvényen körbejárhatja a Langkofel tömbjét. A magashegyi körút kitűnő kilátóhelyeket kínál a keletre fekvő Sella-csoportra, nyugaton a Seiser Alm fennsíkra, dél felé a Marmolada gleccserére. Észak felé a Langkofel lábánál elterülő hatalmas sziklaomlás és törmelékmezőn, az úgynevezett "Kővároson" (Steinerne Stadt / Città dei Sassi) a Grödeni-völgybe, St. Christinába lehet lejutni. Déli irányban a Fassa-völgybe visznek utak, a Rodella-hágón (Col Rodella) át Campitellóba, vagy a Salei-völgyön át Canazeibe lehet eljutni. A hágótól kelet felé nincsenek kiránduló utak, a Sella-hegycsoport meredek sziklafalain csak hegymászók jutnak fel. Itt van a nehéz fokozatú Pößnecker Klettersteig nevű vasalt mászóút, amely a Sella-tornyokba vezet fel. A mászóút a Grödeni-hágóból is megközelíthető.

Télen a hágótetőről is indulnak síliftek felfelé (Sasso Levante). Maga a nagy síközpont, Plan de Gralba azonban nem pontosan a hágótetőn fekszik, hanem attól észak felé, kb. 2 km-re lefelé, a Grödeni-völgy irányában, ahol a hágó útjából, az Wolkensteinbe és Sankt Ulrichba vezető SS242 útból kelet felé kiágazik a Grödeni-hágóra felvezető út, az SS243-as. Innen számos kabinos és ülőszékes sífelvonó visz fel a Sella-csúcsra (Piz Sella), a Seteur-csúcsra (Piz Seteur) és a Langkofel (Sassolungo) hágójába. A kabinos liftek nagy része nyáron is működik, kiránduló családok, hegyi túrázók és alpinisták használhatják.

Autósport
A Bellunói Automobil Klub által 1947 óta évente megrendezett "Dolomiti Aranykupa" (Coppa d'Oro delle Dolomiti) nevű országúti autóverseny útvonala a Sella-hágón is áthalad. A versenyzők Cortina d'Ampezzóból indulnak. A Dolomitok szinte összes hágóján keresztül lefutnak egy mindig állandó, 303,8 km hosszú útvonalat, amely végül a cortinai célba tér vissza. A legutóbbi futamot 2015. július 8-án rendezték.

Q: How can you update a table with an ascending order position based on different groups in MYSQL? I am struggling with this complex query. I am trying to insert the order position of some products.
For example,
I have currently table 1 with a position of NULL, I want to group each Product ID and assign each size a menu position based on ProductID group and using this FIND_IN_SET:
FIND_IN_SET(size,"UNI,XS,S,M,L,XL,XXL,3XL,4XL,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60") asc;
In other words, I want it to look like Table2.
Table1
ID   |   ProductID   |   Size   |   Menu_position
1    |      100      |    S     |   NULL

Sort size based on specific order: SELECT * FROM Table1 ORDER BY FIND_IN_SET(size,"UNI,XS,S,M,L,XL,XXL,3XL,4XL,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60") asc;

A: You can use variables in pre-MySQL 8.0:
SELECT t1.*,
       (@rn := if(@p = productid, @rn + 1,
                  if(@p := productid, 1, 1)
                 )
       ) as menu_position
FROM (SELECT t1.*
      FROM Table1 t1
      ORDER BY ProductId,
               FIND_IN_SET(size, 'UNI,XS,S,M,L,XL,XXL,3XL,4XL,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60') asc
     ) AS alias CROSS JOIN
     (SELECT @p := -1, @rn := 0) params;

In MySQL 8+, this is much simpler:
select t1.*,
       row_number() over (partition by productid order by FIND_IN_SET(size, 'UNI,XS,S,M,L,XL,XXL,3XL,4XL,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60')) as menu_position
from table1 t1

A: Create a two-column table containing all the the Size values in one column and the integer order of those sizes in the second column--call that table menu_pos.  Join this to your Table on size, to produce a table or view (call this product_pos) containing columns product_id, size, and menu_pos.  Then modify the menu_pos values to ensure that they are strictly sequential using a window function, such as:
select
    product_id,
    size,
    rank() over (partition by product_id order by menu_pos) as new_menu_pos
from
    product_pos;

Window functions require MySQL 8.

Q: retrieving table ID generically tl;dr   I need a generic routine to retrieve the table ID for each table given some criteria.
It looks like the core of the problem is I need to create the parameter to Select from a string.
Select takes a selector as a parameter.
 Expression<Func<EntityType, TResult>> selector

I don't know how to create that from the name of the field I have as a string.
DETAILS
I have a base table, Clients, and a number of secondary (one-to-one) tables with various info about the individual clients. Let's call one ClientInfo.
The primary key of the base table is ClientID.
Each of the secondary tables also have a ClientID field, but the key is something like ClientInfoID.
I have a separate accessor for each table, with a base class that has generic routines like FindAll.
Here's an example that I'm trying to mimic:
public EntityType FindFirst(EntityType searchCriteria, ConnectionContext connectionContext)
{
    IsContextValid(connectionContext);
    if (searchCriteria == null) throw new ArgumentException("", "searchCriteria");

    using (var db = CreateDbContext<DbContextType>(connectionContext))
    {
        return db.Set<EntityType>().AsExpandable().Where(SetupFindMany(searchCriteria, connectionContext)).FirstOrDefault();
    }
}

I have data I'm importing, that may update existing data.
I have populated all the entities, but can't Update the data because the entities don't know their existing ID.
I do know the ClientID.
I also have a routine that returns the key field(s) for a given entity, if that helps.
I want to have a generic routine that retrieves the Id for a given table and I'll assign it to the entity.
Here is what I have so far, but Select is complaining about the string parameter for the column name that I want.
public object GetKeyValue(EntityType searchCriteria, string key, ConnectionContext connectionContext)
{
    IsContextValid(connectionContext);
    if (searchCriteria == null)
        throw new ArgumentException("", "searchCriteria");
    List<string> keyNames = GetEntityPrimaryKeyName(searchCriteria, connectionContext);
    if (keyNames.Count > 0)
    {
        using (var db = CreateDbContext<DbContextType>(connectionContext))
        {
            return db.Set<EntityType>().AsExpandable().Where(SetupFindMany(searchCriteria, connectionContext)).Select(keyNames[0]).FirstOrDefault();
        }
    }
}

Note that SetupFindMany just uses PredicateBuilder on the searchCriteria to return a predicate.
Normally, the parameter to Select would be something like (c => c.ClientID)
I need to parameterize ClientID in that statement. But it is not a string.

A: When I started down this road, I thought it would be simple.
Lacking an abstract solution, I'll just create an abstract method in the base class and implement it in the descendent accessors where I can hard code the ID.

Q: create a child process You can create a thread given a delegate to method, can I create a process in the same way?  I want to do that to be able to close the child process from task manager if something goes wrong.
I expect the answer is no and the only typical way is windows service.
Thanks

A: If by "same way", you mean passing a delegate as an argument for a given process then no, this is not possible. You will have to create a new executable which would do some tasks based on command line parameters. Though, the general rule is to avoid process spawning as it's VERY expensive.

A: Could try something like this (C#):
Process proc = new Process();
ProcessStartInfo procInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("C:\\test.exe");
proc.Start(procInfo);

The problems that faces the middle east and latin america today
Environmental changes, persistent inequality, and increasing violence force millions of people throughout the region to live in a constant state of uncertainty.
Although the number of Internet users is growing in the region, it has remained low by international standards. The increase in incomes was not limited to oil exporters but was also enjoyed by the poorer countries, thanks to large-scale migration for work in the oil-exporting countries.
Nevertheless, this could not be sustained without further unity and political support by other relevant states. In short, Arab agricultures used more land, more water, more fertilizer, more machines and more labor-all just to keep up with population growth.
Current issues in latin america 2018
In many cases, this results not so much from industry as from the massive concentration in urban areas in each country. There are numerous interpretations of these institutions C. However, there are significant linguistic diversities within some countries, including the Islamic Republic of Iran and Iraq. Turkey has the most advanced economy in the region apart from Israel. There seems to be little near-term prospect of any form of victory by the Saudi-led, pro-government coalition. Policy makers must not forget that an unstable or hostile Turkey would fundamentally change the entire equation in the region. In this respect, the Middle East is somewhat of an outlier in contemporary international relations as a region marred by both frequent interstate and intrastate conflicts. With minor exceptions, equity and debt markets, insurance, leasing, and long-term financing remain weak and underdeveloped. Such solidarity has been absent in the Middle East as states have frequently aided violent non-state actors to undermine each other. In addition to the outright sale of government assets, privatization attempts have taken other forms. Away from the cities, deforestation and increases in temperature are also threatening the viability of communities. The success of Turkey is at once the most vital and, fortunately, the most likely. The establishment of cash-transfer programs explains in large part this important change, especially in the overall reduction of the GINI coefficient.
They also must deal with the fact that a 50 percent cut in petroleum export revenues has sharply altered their ability to modernize their armed forces, and deal with terrorist and extremist movements. Achieving order would necessitate a commonly held referent of, and consensus on, what constitutes a threat to the common interests of the members of an international society.
States in the Developing World. As noted in the widely discussed Arab Human Development Report United Nations,the region performs poorly in the areas of civil and political freedoms, gender equality, and, more generally, opportunities for the full development of human capabilities and knowledge.
The Persian Gulf and International Relations. There are some countries that are ranked as large producers of drug-related products, but have little violence linked to them. Fundamentally, a solution requires adopting a new development strategy, one that stresses the role of the private sector in developing the production of goods and services for export. Servicing the debt requires internal public to government and external Morocco or Turkey to rest-of-world transfers. Domestic supply response was sluggish, thanks to the "Dutch Disease" living on rent rather than productive effort , to a continuation of policies which excessively taxed the agricultural sector, and to limited investment in the agricultural sector. However, there is doubt as to their political feasibility in some cases. Figure 7. Fundamentally, the region cannot escape its geography: water is, and will become increasingly, scarce in the region. To some extent, of course, this is always true. During the same time period, average years of schooling increased from 1. Without condoning violations of human rights, it must be said that great powers and regional powers alike have a proclivity towards justifying their interventions on lofty discourses of human rights.
Gross capital formation, although volatile, was maintained at exceptionally high rates, supporting a strong increase in growth rates of GDP and a vast improvement in living standards.
Determination to catch up with unloved but grudgingly admired neighbors is often a development asset.
Five key social development issues in Latin America in


Over time I have been accused of being lots of things – arrogant, egotistical, narcissistic, and proud, snobbish and assuming. I have never taken not even a second to twist my mind trying to understand the implications of my personality representing either of those personalities because as it is, everyone possesses an opinion. Whether I agree or put up with the opinion is a completely different matter. Some of the people who have accused me of being supercilious at one time in their cycle of existence have over time experienced the other side of me that the "public" around me hasn't had an opportunity to experience.
One of those people was you. Before you truly understood me you thought of me worse than a tyrant. Your mind had been convinced that I was cold and unappreciative. Self-centered and full of myself. Rude and unforgiving. You thought I was a loser in so many ways but I hope over the past few years you've known the other side of me that is passionate, understanding and appreciative of people.
I want to convince myself that I have proven everyone else wrong with my acts of benevolence towards you, your friends and everyone you care about. I have been my best when you've been around and I hope that even after the final full stop to this inscription you will continue to be so.
When we met, I had constructed such thick walls around me that no one could penetrate. The funny bit about the whole wall thing is that I couldn't get out either. I had myself where I was most comfortable – around myself; absent outside pressure and expectations. I enjoyed my own companionship more than anything else. I never thought that someone else could be so perfect to match what I felt when I was alone, surrounded by my own darkness. I thought I was happy.
Out of nowhere, an exhilaration I hadn't felt before consumed me every time I saw your face. The way you laughed made me smile. I was awestruck. I was off my reservations and I wholeheartedly allowed you to penetrate the wall. Letting my gut down, I allowed you in, believing that I was happier with you around than I was around my insecurities and self-assurances.
You were the girl I thought about and smiled foolishly. You had me at the palm of your influence. Your utterances were music to my ears and your sobs were heartbreaking moments anytime they reached my ears. When it came to you, I always found an excuse not to be around anyone else. Your presence was a safe haven for my societal dysfunctioning self.
Where there was fault you represented the promise. Where I had doubts you gave me assurance. Where I felt I couldn't reach you catapulted me into the destination. What's amazing is the fact that you believed in me more than I believed in myself. I have never understood that to date. I have never understood why you thought I was the best that I ever had been in the past.
The first time you held my hand, on you was a white trench coat. That memory is edged into my brain because that was the first time I had felt such attraction to someone. You had locked your fingers in between mine with no notice and although it was the second day after our meeting, I felt like I belonged. I felt appreciated, desired and wanted. I never wanted to feel your fingers slip away.
At that instance and time, I understood what I had been missing all along. I felt your warmth as you hugged me goodbye and I thought that I had forever said goodbye to the cold. I believed that because you made me a believer.
When I looked at you I imagined how beautiful our daughter would be. On the second day! As I waved you off I simply wanted you to stay longer but it just couldn't be. You had to do reporting. I had to sit back and wait for our time together.
I came and we rolled on. Living in every instance like the next was unheard of. Held hands with our lips touching. Quenched our thirsts irrespective of everyone around. Swam to the horizons, imaginations beyond just our future. Consumed by desire and temptations, our hands were always on each other. We created magical moments after every turn. We felt content in the first year exchanging affectionate word every chance we got.
Being with you was awesomeness for lack of a better word. Anytime I looked into the darkness outside I remembered that there was light by and with you.
Over time things got better before accusations and mistrust defined almost every conversation we had. I thought it was because we loved each other too much. The problem was that without our knowledge, rifts widened and every call became a routine. Texts became programmed and checking on one another became an obligation rather a pleasurable familiarity. Without knowing, the love consumed my soul and almost everything started going down the drain.
I wanted a lot of things for us. I believe you also did. Maybe you still do.
I don't want to make excuses for all the wrongs I have done but I am sorry. I regret every moment I have ever made you cry and if tables were turned and the clock unwound I would do so many things differently. I wanted to preserve the sparkle in your eyes and fulfill all the cute promises but I guess I wasn't nearly as perfect as I thought I would be.
In a thousand plus days you lit my world like roulette. Gave me purpose and a sense of responsibility to myself, to my family, to you and to my country. You made me believe that there was more to heartbreak, pain, misunderstandings and broken dreams. In your infinite wisdom, you made me a little wiser, more resilient to life pressures and softer to your advances and affection. You demolished the prism I looked the world through and through that, I saw things clearer and with a little bit more focus.
As I write this I don't know what made me hold on. I cannot honestly state whether it was genuine affection for you or was it the fact that I couldn't stomach the thought of you being with someone else. Love for you brought about jealousy in me – an ugly trait I couldn't stomach. Suspicion squeezed my heart in pain and my throat always felt choked. I became breathless in more times than one anger and that robbed me of the joy that I once felt around you.
We had happy days but the reckless hand of pain always seemed to crawl in.
As I write this I know you feel wronged, betrayed even, but I feel worse. Our time together was and still is the best time I will ever spend with someone. You brought about the best in me but I retracted anytime you got too close in our last days.
In my convictions, I have come to realize I am not the best guy for you to spend an eternity with. I feel that I have let you down too many times to do it again and again. I am imperfect to a fault and I guess that everyone was right after all. You're perfect in so many ways and you deserve a perfection that's equal to your own.

Hackenbush es un juego para dos jugadores inventado por el matemático John Horton Conway. Se puede jugar en cualquier configuración de segmentos de línea de colores conectados entre sí por sus puntos finales y a una línea de "tierra".

Jugabilidad
El juego comienza con los jugadores dibujando una línea de "suelo" (convencionalmente, pero no necesariamente, una línea horizontal en la parte inferior del papel u otra área de juego) y varios segmentos de línea de modo que cada segmento de línea esté conectado al suelo, ya sea directamente en un punto final, o indirectamente, a través de una cadena de otros segmentos conectados por puntos finales. Cualquier número de segmentos puede encontrarse en un punto y, por lo tanto, puede haber múltiples caminos a tierra.

En su turno, un jugador "corta" (borra) cualquier segmento de línea de su elección. Cada segmento de línea que ya no está conectado al suelo por ningún camino "cae" (es decir, se borra). Según la convención de juego normal de la teoría de juegos combinatorios, el primer jugador que no pueda moverse pierde.

Los tableros de Hackenbush pueden constar de un número finito de segmentos de línea (en el caso de un "tablero finito") o infinitos (en el caso de un "tablero infinito"). La existencia de un número infinito de segmentos de línea no viola el supuesto de la teoría de juegos de que el juego puede terminarse en un período de tiempo finito, siempre que sólo haya un número finito de segmentos de línea que "toquen" directamente el suelo. En un tablero infinito, según el diseño del tablero, el juego puede continuar para siempre, asumiendo que hay infinitos puntos tocando el suelo.

Variantes

En la versión folclórica original de Hackenbush, cualquier jugador puede cortar cualquier borde: como este es un juego imparcial, es relativamente sencillo dar un análisis completo usando el teorema de Sprague-Grundy. Por lo tanto, las versiones de Hackenbush de interés en la teoría de juegos combinatorios son juegos partisanos más complejos, lo que significa que las opciones (movimientos) disponibles para un jugador no serían necesariamente las disponibles para el otro jugador si fuera su turno de moverse dada la misma posición.. Esto se consigue de dos formas:

 Hackenbush original: todos los segmentos de línea son del mismo color y cualquiera de los jugadores puede cortarlos. Esto significa que los pagos son simétricos y que cada jugador tiene las mismas operaciones según la posición a bordo (en este caso, la estructura del dibujo).
 Hackenbush azul-rojo : cada segmento de línea es de color rojo o azul. Un jugador (generalmente el primer jugador o el izquierdo) solo puede cortar segmentos de línea azul, mientras que el otro jugador (generalmente el segundo jugador o el derecho) solo puede cortar segmentos de línea roja.
 Hackenbush azul-rojo-verde : cada segmento de línea es de color rojo, azul o verde. Las reglas son las mismas que para Hackenbush azul-rojo, con la estipulación adicional de que cualquier jugador puede cortar segmentos de línea verde.

Hackenbush Azul-Rojo es simplemente un caso especial de Hackenbush azul-rojo-verde, pero vale la pena señalarlo por separado, ya que su análisis suele ser mucho más simple. Esto se debe a que Hackenbush Azul-Rojo es un juego llamado frío, lo que significa, esencialmente, que nunca puede ser una ventaja tener el primer movimiento.

Análisis
Hackenbush se ha utilizado a menudo como un juego de ejemplo para demostrar las definiciones y conceptos en la teoría de juegos combinatorios, comenzando con su uso en los libros On Numbers and Games y Winning Ways for your Mathematical Plays de algunos de los fundadores del campo. En particular, Hackenbush azul-rojo se puede utilizar para construir números surreales como nimbers: los tableros finitos Blue-Red Hackenbush pueden construir números racionales diádicos, mientras que los valores de infinitos tableros Blue-Red Hackenbush representan números reales, ordinales y muchos valores más generales que no son ninguno. Hackenbush azul-rojo-verde permite la construcción de juegos adicionales cuyos valores no son números reales, como estrella y todos los demás nimbers.

Se puede realizar un análisis más detallado del juego utilizando la teoría de grafos considerando el tablero como una colección de vértices y aristas y examinando los caminos a cada vértice que se encuentra en el suelo (que debe considerarse como un vértice distinguido; no hace daño identificar todos los puntos del suelo juntos, en lugar de como una línea en el gráfico).

En la versión imparcial de Hackenbush (la que no tiene colores especificados por el jugador), se puede pensar en usar montones nim dividiendo el juego en varios casos: vertical, convergente y divergente. Jugado exclusivamente con pilas verticales de segmentos de línea, también conocidos como tallos de bambú, el juego se convierte directamente en Nim y se puede analizar directamente como tal. Los segmentos divergentes, o árboles, agregan una arruga adicional al juego y requieren el uso del principio de dos puntos, indicando que cuando las ramas se juntan en un vértice, se pueden reemplazar las ramas por un tallo no ramificado de longitud igual a su nim suma. Este principio cambia la representación del juego a la versión más básica de los tallos de bambú. El último conjunto posible de gráficos que se pueden hacer son los convergentes, también conocidos como gráficos de raíz arbitraria. Al usar el principio de fusión, podemos afirmar que todos los vértices de cualquier ciclo se pueden fusionar sin cambiar el valor del gráfico. Por lo tanto, cualquier gráfico convergente también se puede interpretar como un simple gráfico de tallo de bambú. Combinando los tres tipos de gráficos podemos agregar complejidad al juego, sin cambiar nunca la suma nim del juego, lo que permite que el juego adopte las estrategias de Nim.

Prueba del principio de los dos puntos

El principio de los dos puntos establece que cuando las ramas se juntan en un vértice, se pueden reemplazar las ramas por un tallo no ramificado de longitud igual a su suma nim. Considere un gráfico fijo pero arbitraria, G , y seleccionar un vértice arbitrario, x , en G. Sean H1 y H2 árboles (o gráficos) arbitrarios que tienen el mismo valor de Sprague-Grundy. Considérese las dos gráficas G1 = Gx : H1 y G2 = Gx : H2, donde Gx : Hi representa el gráfico construido uniendo el árbol Hi al vértice x de la gráfica G. El principio de los dos puntos establece que los dos gráficos G1 y G2 tienen el mismo valor de Sprague-Grundy. Considere la suma de los dos juegos como en la figura 5.4. La afirmación de que G1 y G2 tienen el mismo valor de Sprague-Grundy es equivalente a la afirmación de que la suma de los dos juegos tiene el valor de Sprague-Grundy de 0. En otras palabras, debemos demostrar que la suma G1 + G2 es una posición P. Se garantiza que un jugador ganará si es el segundo jugador en moverse G1 + G2. Si el primer jugador se mueve cortando uno de los bordes en G en uno de los juegos, el segundo jugador corta el mismo borde en G en el otro juego. (Este par de movimientos puede eliminar H1 y H2 de los juegos, pero de lo contrario H1 y H2 no se alteran). Si el primer jugador se mueve cortando un borde en H1 o H2, entonces los valores de Sprague-Grundy de H1 y H2 ya no son iguales, por lo que existe un movimiento en H1 o H2 que mantiene iguales los valores de Sprague-Grundy. De esta forma siempre se tendrá una respuesta a cada movimiento que realice. Esto significará hacer el último movimiento y ganar.

Based on the crazy 70's series of the same name about two cops who battle crime the old fashioned way. this movie was funny and awesome.
Snoogans - wrote on 08/07/2011
Another needless movie update of a t.v. series long forgotten. Mediocre, like the rest, but it manages to squeeze a few laughs out of the Owen and Ben team-up.
Revives the carefree spirit of the show with similar camraderie between Stiller and Wilson. Snoop Dogg steals all of his scenes as the sleazy Huggy Bear. Vince Vaughn is a letdown here, playing every other character he's ever played, but the blend of action and comedy works and is a fun and entertaining romp.
