Netanyahu 'played' Trump with misinformation: Tillerson
AFP – September 20, 2019
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu skillfully "played" US President Donald Trump by plying him with inaccurate information, former secretary of state Rex Tillerson said.
Netanyahu, who is fighting for his political life after close elections, was "a bit Machiavellian" and would share "misinformation" with the United States, according to Trump's former top diplomat.
Tillerson, who was fired by Trump last year, made the observations during a forum on Tuesday at Harvard University as reported by The Harvard Gazette, the university's official news outlet.
"In dealing with Bibi, it's always useful to carry a healthy amount of skepticism in your discussions with him," he was quoted as saying, using Netanyahu's nickname.
"They did that with the president on a couple of occasions, to persuade him that 'We're the good guys, they're the bad guys.'
"We later exposed it to the president so he understood, 'You've been played,'" Tillerson said, according to the newspaper.
"It bothers me that an ally that's that close and important to us would do that to us," he said.
During two election campaigns this year, Netanyahu highlighted his warm relationship with Trump, who has taken long-sought Israeli positions such as recognising Jerusalem as the Jewish state's capital.
Netanyahu has long pushed for a hard US line on Iran — an issue that led to open tensions with Trump's predecessor Barack Obama — and has mused about annexing parts of the occupied Palestinian West Bank.
Tillerson said he supported a two-state solution between the Israelis and Palestinians — an idea unlikely to feature in a peace plan being led by Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and adviser.
Tillerson, a former ExxonMobil executive, has mostly kept a low profile after leaving the administration. But Trump has twice branded Tillerson "dumb as a rock" after comments seen as questioning the mog

Nunes: 'Major Irregularities' In State Department's Handling Of Trump-Russia Info
April 23, 2018 July 18, 2018 Admin
by Chuck Ross
The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence chairman provided an update on Sunday of the panel's investigation into what he says are "major irregularities" at the State Department regarding its handling of information about President Donald Trump's campaign.
California Rep. and Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes's investigators are looking into the State Department's handling of information about George Papadopoulos, the Trump campaign adviser whose discussions about Hillary Clinton emails are what led the FBI to open its counterintelligence investigation in July 2016, the chairman suggested when he appeared on Fox News.
"We are investigating the State Department. We think there are some major irregularities at the State Department, and we're trying to figure out how it is that this information about Mr. Papadopoulos of all people, who was supposedly meeting with some folks in London, how that made it over across into the FBI's hands," Nunes told Maria Bartiromo, the host of "Sunday Morning Futures."
,@DevinNunes: "We do know that longtime associates of @HillaryClinton, including Sidney Blumenthal and another person named, I think, Cody Shearer, were actively giving information to the @StateDept that was somehow making its way to the @FBI." #SundayFutures@MariaBartiromopic.twitter.com/nUw5gIHCB7
— Fox News (@FoxNews) April 22, 2018
The Intelligence Committee is investigating the State Department's involvement in handling the infamous Steele dossier, Nunes has said in the past. But there had been no indication the State Department might be involved in anything related to Papadopoulos, an energy consultant who pleaded guilty in October 2017 to lying to the FBI about contacts he had with a mysterious Maltese professor, Joseph Mifsud.
The FBI opened its counterintelligence investigation on July 31, 2016, after receiving information from the Australian government. Two months earlier, Papadopoulos met in London with Alexander Downer, the top Australian diplomat to the United Kingdom. Papadopoulos told Downer about a Russian plan to disseminate stolen Clinton emails, the Australian diplomat reportedly claims.
Papadopoulos has acknowledged he was told about stolen Clinton emails during an April 26, 2016, meeting in London with Mifsud, who then worked as a professor.
It remains unclear whether Papadopoulos told anyone on the Trump campaign about Mifsud's claims about emails. The 30-year-old energy consultant is cooperating with the special counsel's office as part of his plea deal.
The Intelligence Committee was looking into the State Department's handling of the Steele dossier, the salacious and unverified document former British spy Christopher Steele authored, Nunes announced in January.
"We do know that longtime associates of Hillary Clinton, including Sidney Blumenthal and another person named, I think, Cody Shearer, were actively giving information to the State Department that was somehow making its way to the FBI," Nunes said.
It recently emerged that former State Department official Jonathan Winer met with Steele during the 2016 campaign to discuss the ex-spy's investigation of Trump's alleged ties to Russia.
Winer, who served as special envoy to Libya at the time, wrote up a two-page summary of Steele's allegations and shared them with other State Department officials, including then-Sec. of State John Kerry.
Winer also handled information from Blumenthal, a notorious Clinton-world fixer who the Obama White House blocked from joining the Clinton State Department.
Blumenthal gave Winer two memos compiled by Cody Shearer, another Clinton acolyte. Shearer's reports contained similar allegations to those found in Steele's reports, including the claim Russia's government had blackmail material on Trump. Winer shared the unverified document with Steele, who in turn gave it to the FBI.

La chiesa di San Rocco è un luogo di culto cattolico di Leffe in provincia e diocesi di Bergamo, fa parte del vicariato di Gandino. La chiesa fu edificata nel 1529 come edicola votiva al santo protettore delle pestilenze.

Storia
La chiesa intitolata a san Rocco è posta sul colle che anticamente veniva chiamato Chignol e successivamente, con l'edificazione del luogo di culto, colle di san Rocco ed è posto sopra il paese di Leffe con orientamento a sud. Originariamente era una piccola edicola votiva, eretta in ottemperanza a un voto promesso durante la peste del 1529 che decimò gli abitanti della bergamasca. Nel 1530 l'edicola era sicuramente terminata come indicato in un documento redatto dal rettore della chiesa, la povertà del territorio non permise la formazione di un edificio ampio. La piccola cappella non era quindi adatta neppure per la celebrazione delle funzioni liturgiche, per questo motivo non è citata negli atti delle diverse visite pastorali che si susseguirono sul territorio di Leffe.

Negli anni successivi il paese non fu contagiato dalle epidemie del 1544 e del 1575 tanto da far ritenere agli abitanti di essere stati salvati grazie all'intercessione del santo e per ringraziarlo innalzarono un nuovo più ampio luogo di culto. Il rettore don Rocco Mosconi autorizzo l'inizio dei lavori nel 1583. Tra i maggiori benefattori, oltre a quelli che offrivano mano d'opera, compare un certo Alessio Mondoni che nel lascito testamentario del 1584 lasciò 25 lire imperiali. Contribuì in maniera importante anche il comune: […] tutto il legname da costruzione occorrente […]. La costruzione aveva però un costo che obbligò un contributo sia da parte delle confraternite nelle persone di Bastiano Pezzoli e Maria Galizzi, e la donazione di un nuovo terreno da parte del comune. L'edificio era ultimato nel 1585 mentre la torre campanaria fu elevata solo nel 1612. Il 28 giugno dell'anno successivo la chiesa fu visitata dal vescovo di Bergamo Giovanni Emo. Dagli atti della visita risulta che le pareti erano affrescate con immagini che volevano raffigurare la pestilenza, per questo fu ordinata l'immediata cancellazione con calce. Ordinanza non eseguita e il vescovo Federico Corner in visita il 17 agosto 1624 dovette ripetere l'ordine, minacciandone la chiusura al culto.

Nel 1866 fu edificata la parte esterna della chiesa, con la costruzione del sagrato, di muri e della scalinata, poi riadattati nel 1968. La torre campanaria fu maggiormente rialzata nel 1675 e nel 1912 come indicato nelle lapidi poste a ricordo. Il concerto campanario di cinque campane, fu posto nel 1928, e rifuse nel 1946 dopo sequestrato durante il secondo conflitto bellico. Con l'incremento demografico degli anni '80 del ventesimo secolo furono eseguiti lavori di mantenimento e ammodernamento; purtroppo durante questi lavori furono distrutte parti decorative dell'edificio originale. Nel 1984 fu posto il nuovo altare liturgico comunitario in ottemperanza delle disposizioni del concilio Vaticano II.

Descrizione

Esterno
L'edificio di culto con facciata rivolta a est, è anticipato dal sagrato che si collega alla viabile urbana attraverso una gradinata, la tra via San Rocco e via Monte Beio. Il portico con pavimentazione in cotto e volta a crociera con tre aperture a archi a tutto sesto retti da colonne in cemento in stile toscano poggianti sul muretto in conci. La facciata nella parte inferiore in conci in pietra ospita centrale il portale con contorno in marmo dove è posta la data del 1584 con due finestre centinate laterali complete di inferriate. La parte superiore intonacata presenta un'apertura semicircolare atta a illuminare l'aula. La parte termina con il tetto a due spioventi. Il portico prosegue nella parte laterale.

Interno
L'interno, anticipato dalla bussola lignea a unica navata ha tre archi a sesto acuto poggianti su lesene complete di capitelli in pietra a vista, in tre campate con copertura, che scarica sui gli archi, a travi di legno e parti intonacate, contrariamente all'originale che era completamente a travi a vista. La parte superiore all'ingresso ospita il matroneo, raggiungibile da una scala a chiocciola, e presenta tre aperture a tutto sesto rivolte verso l'aula. Sei finestre semicircolari, tre per lato, illuminano l'aula. La prima campata è dedicata a zona penitenziale con i confessionali lignei. In quella di mezzo vi sono gli ingressi laterali con le bussole lignee poste nel 1965. Sulla controfacciata si trovano le tele Flagellazione e la Crocefissione di Nostro Signore con lo stemma della famiglia Galizzioli. La navata conserva anche le tele intitolate a santa Lucia e Apollonia data 1677, e della Madonna Immacolata con la testa di un drago.

La zona presbiteriale anticipata dall'arco trionfale è di misura inferiore alla navata, con due nicchie poste nella parte con le statue dei santi Rocco e la Madonna Immacolata. L'altare addossato alla parete del coro absidale conserva una portella in argento opera di Luigi Guarinoni con l'altorilievo raffigurante Cristo seduto sul monte e la Madonna che nostra il pane eucaristico a san Rocco.

Estrada signed a one-year deal with the Athletics on Friday, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.
Estrada had a rough go of things in 2018 as he posted a 5.64 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in 28 starts for the Blue Jays while battling back/neck issues for a good chunk of the season. The 35-year-old struggled a bit in 2017, but over 2015 and 2016 had a 3.30 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in 57 starts over his first two seasons in Toronto. The right-hander brings some veteran stability to the Athletics' starting rotation with Sean Manaea (shoulder) sidelined at least through the All-Star break. Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports the deal is worth $4 million.


New Delhi: Plagued by complaints against the high-handedness of private loan recovery agents, State Bank of India is looking to directly hire 3,000 marketing and recovery officers whose job profile would include "soft recovery" of loans.
These officers, vacancies for which were notified on 1 October 2007 and advertised in newspapers today, would also market the bank's products, conduct pre-sanction survey, file applications, verify papers and soft recovery.
Only yesterday, the Reserve Bank warned commercial banks that it would not hesitate to ban them from hiring recovery agents if "abusive practices" persisted.
RBI said it would bring out a circular on engaging such agents by 15 November 2007.
The officers would be hired across the country on "contractual" basis with a compensation package of Rs2 lakh per annum.
After announcing the busy-season credit policy, RBI Governor Y V Reddy asked banks to use their own staff to recover loans if their agents were found to be adopting abusive practices.
"Banks that give loans, no doubt have a right to recover them, but when they use less than proper means we become responsible for the system as a whole to ensure such abusive practices are prevented," Reddy had said.
"This invites serious supervisory disapproval, which includes imposing temporary or permanent ban if such practices persisted... I am hopeful our threat would work," he had said.
In response to the tough stand of RBI on recovery agents, State Bank of India CMD O P Bhatt had said such practices should not be allowed in the civil society and the apex bank has decided to nip it in the bud.
SBI said in the advertisement that it was looking for graduates in agriculture, business administration, social work, marketing as well as MBAs for the position and would give preference to agri graduates as the job profile also includes continuous village visits.
Half of the positions have been reserved for SC/ST/OBC candidates. The bank said that over 400 vacancies each are in its Bangalore, Kerala, Lucknow and New Delhi circles, while 200-400 officers each would be recruited in Ahmedabad, Chandigarh and Hyderabad circles.
Chennai and Mumbai each have over 117 and 142 vacancies, while the number of positions to be filled in Patna, Kolkata, Guwahati and Bhopal are less than 100 each.


Here you will learn about difference between top-down and bottom-up approach.
Today we are going to have a comparative study of the two approaches being used in field of structured and object oriented programming. We shall start with a brief understanding of the both followed by comparison and conclusion.
When talking in terms of computer science and programming, the algorithms we use to solve complex problems in a systematic and controlled way are designed on the basis of two approaches that is Top-down and Bottom-up approach. The ideology behind top-down approach is, a bigger problem is divided into some smaller sub-problems called modules, these modules are then solved individually and then integrated together to get the complete solution to the problem. In bottom-up approach on the other hand, the process starts with elementary modules and then combining together to get the desired result. Let us now quickly see in brief what these two approaches has to offer, how they differ from each other and what are the similarities.
The basic idea in top-down approach is to break a complex algorithm or a problem into smaller segments called modules, this process is also called as modularization. The modules are further decomposed until there is no space left for breaking the modules without hampering the originality. The uniqueness of the problem must be retained and preserved. The decomposition of the modules is restricted after achieving a certain level of modularity. The top-down way of solving a program is step-by-step process of breaking down the problem into chunks for organising and solving the sole problem. The C- programming language uses the top-down approach of solving a problem in which the flow of control is in the downward direction.
As the name suggests, this method of solving a problem works exactly opposite of how the top-down approach works. In this approach we start working from the most basic level of problem solving and moving up in conjugation of several parts of the solution to achieve required results. The most fundamental units, modules and sub-modules are designed and solved individually, these units are then integrated together to get a more concrete base to problem solving.
This bottom-up approach works in different phases or layers. Each module designed is tested at fundamental level that means unit testing is done before the integration of the individual modules to get solution. Unit testing is accomplished using low-level functions, that is another topic we will talk about later.
Let us now see a comparative study of both the strategies and try to understand what are common and odds among them.
Divides a problem into smaller units and then solve it. Starts from solving small modules and adding them up together.
This approach contains redundant information. Redundancy can easily be eliminated.
A well-established communication is not required. Communication among steps is mandatory.
The individual modules are thoroughly analysed. Works on the concept of data-hiding and encapsulation.
Structured programming languages such as C uses top-down approach. OOP languages like C++ and Java, etc. uses bottom-up mechanism.
Relation among modules is not always required. The modules must be related for better communication and work flow.
Primarily used in code implementation, test case generation, debugging and module documentation. Finds use primarily in testing.
After having a sound discussion on this we all should now have got a clear understanding of the two approaches. The top-down approach is the conventional approach in which decomposition of higher level system into lower level system takes place respectively. Talking about the bottom-up mechanism for algorithm designing, starting from designing lower abstraction modules and then integrating them to higher level provides better efficiency.
We have seen the modules in top-down approach aren't connected in a manner so that they can communicate well, so giving rise to redundancies, whereas in the later case the redundancies are omitted to large extent. The feature of information hiding and reusability provided by bottom-up approach makes this mechanism even more popular.
Comment below if you have doubts regarding difference between Top-down and Bottom-up approach.

Opening a Door to the World
Recently some friends and I visited the Mariposa Museum and World Culture Center in Peterborough, New Hampshire. With our kids in tow, we were enchanted by the museum's lively, hands-on exhibits and comfortable setting. The museum's collection includes modern and ancient art and instruments from Asia, Africa, Europe and beyond. While the museum is for all ages, we found it to be wonderfully accessible for young people. Through February 15th, the museum has an exhibit on the multicultural history of chocolate, which it delightfully combines with a celebration of the 50th anniversary of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Having each lived in diverse communities, taught in formal and non-formal settings, and aimed to promote intercultural understanding using wide-ranging methods including environmental education, poetry, and dance, my friends and I each feel strongly about the importance of teaching kids about the world. After our visit to the museum, we got to thinking about just what it is that helps kids maintain a healthy sense of curiosity and the willingness to reach toward other cultures, rather than withdrawing when they encounter something unfamiliar. Here are some of the things we came up with, and how the Mariposa Museum does them well:
Have a good time. When kids adore something, they keep going back for more. In how many museums can you lounge around on vibrant, cozy pillows while playing games and trying out instruments for hours? And that's just for starters. Throughout the museum, there are many lovely things to look at, read about, and hear, along with great books, puppets, and places to sit and think.
Jenny appreciated that, while the museum is delightful, it's not overly stimulating. Kids can move at their own pace, and peek into drawers or explore nooks and crannies without feeling sensory overload. I loved that when we left, everyone was uplifted and smiling, rather than tired and overwhelmed.
Develop empathy. When kids relate to something, they feel comfortable with it. While there were distinct differences among items in the museum, there was also unity in what we saw. An exhibit about global holidays during winter months shows how each holiday includes an element of light. The room filled with instruments shows that percussion exists all around the world. Marcela, who is originally from Nicaragua, was excited to learn that there are instruments in Africa that are similar to Nicaraguan marimbas.
Judith noted that the story of chocolate is an important one, and she was glad to see that the kids could learn, not only delightful things about the history of chocolate, but also something about the unfairness of the chocolate trade. The exhibit offered young people a window into how complex many of our life experiences are.
Explore an idea from a variety of angles. Puzzles help kids learn. We loved that each floor told us something of the history of chocolate, but also that the telling was threaded throughout other exhibits. This set the stage for helping our kids think about the value of paying attention to even small details. It also gave them a chance to look at ways things that seem unrelated might actually be connected.
Create and honor beauty. Kids thrive when they are nurtured by the world around them. The museum offers a feast for the senses—you'll find everything from opera masks from the ancient Silk Road to a bottlecap rattlesnake from the American Southwest. And there is also ample opportunity for visitors to create beauty by making music, paintings, and other hands-on art forms. The Mariposa offers many reasons to smile.
We asked the kids what they enjoyed and learned at the museum. Their answers show that the Mariposa is fulfilling its intention to help people explore the world through all their senses:
Marcela, 18: "There was a beautiful Asian doll, and I loved the puppets."
Mateo, 9: "I like that we created a band and made music together."
Fiona, 10: "I was interested in the holidays around the world, and how they are all celebrated so differently."
Lucas, 5: "Every place everywhere should have a room of chocolate."

Foal's Bread by Gillian Mears
"The sound of horses' hooves turns hollow on the farms west of Wirri. If a man can still ride, if he hasn't totally lost the use of his legs, if he hasn't died to the part of his heart that understands such things, then he should go for a gallop. At the very least he should stand at the road by the rive r imagining that he's pushing a horse up the steep hill that leads to the house on the farm once known as One Tree." Set in hardscrabble farming country and around the country show high-jumping circuit that prevailed in rural New South Wales prior to the Second World War, Foal's Bread tells the story of two generations of the Nancarrow family and their fortunes as dictated by the vicissitudes of the land. It is a love story of impossible beauty and sadness, a chronicle of dreams 'turned inside out', and miracles that never last, framed against a world both tender and unspeakably hard. ...Show more

A riveting reimagining of the Classical story of fate and desire: we know where it will end, but following the hows and whys will keep readers on the edges of their seats. In 1962, actuary Walter Cousins makes the biggest mistake of his life. When mild-mannered Walter - 'a man who weighs risk for a living' - sleeps with the sharp-tongued, not-quite-legal British au pair, Diane Burroughs, he can have no sense of the magnitude of his error. For this brief affair sets in motion a tragedy of epic proportions, upending Sophocles's immortal tale of fate, free will and forbidden desire. At the centre is Ed King, an infant given up for adoption who becomes one of the world's richest and most powerful men. But beneath the sizzling story of Ed's seemingly inexorable rise to fame and fortune is a dark and unsettling destiny, one that approaches with ever-increasing suspense as the book reaches its shattering and surprising conclusion. An assured, propulsively written epic novel of unstoppable force, Ed King is a classic of contemporary American life: a daringly told story of a man and a myth, of blindness and narcissism, and of the precarious foundations on which carefully constructed lives are built - and timeless stories are created. From the bestselling author of Snow Falling on Cedars, a dazzling, darkly funny, extraordinary modern take on an ancient tragedy, quite unlike anything we've seen before. ...Show more

Use up that extra Halloween candy to make these DELICIOUS Twix Brownies! We always have a bunch of mini candy bars floating around inside the Trick-or Treat pumpkin. This is such a great way to use those up.
A delicious layer cake that will delight any Twix lover. Soft and fluffy chocolate cakes with a creamy caramel frosting, topped with chopped Twix bars, crushed shortbread cookies, and homemade salted caramel sauce!
If I'm going to eat candy, I'd much rather make it myself than buy it at a store. That way, I know what's in the food and it tastes a hundred times better! Of course, my kids love it too. Around Halloween, I enjoy pulling out the double boiler, melting some chocolate, whipping up a caramel and creating homemade treats.
Halloween is such a fun time of year. The weather has changed, there is a chill in the air, and fall is in full swing with pumpkins and decorations galore. Another thing that is also in full swing during this season is more candy and chocolate bars than you can imagine.
Twix Blondies are what sweet caramel dreams are made of! Take a buttery, brown sugar blondie, load it up with tons of chopped Twix Bars, sea salt and chocolate chips. They're chewy with crunchy bits of shortbread baked inside!
I know. Just the name is outrageous. They are described by the original creator of the "slutty brownie" as "oh so easy, and a little bit filthy." Sorry. I hope you aren't scandalized, especially since it is a perfectly accurate description.
I have a thing for Twix Bars. And for chocolate chip cookies. And my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe is even better with Twix baked in.
Dressed up as Frankenstein, these fun Twix® Frankenstein Cookies will be the talk of your party. You can make the dough weeks ahead and keep in your freezer. To make it super easy, the crisp cookies can be baked days before decorating and stored in a tightly sealed plastic bag at room temperature.
I finally found a way for my sister to eat "snickers" salad without having to worry about her peanut allergy…TWIX CARAMEL APPLE SALAD! This is to die for. You won't be able to stop eating it, seriously.
Twix Bar Mummy Brownies – Twix Bar Mummy Halloween Brownies are quick and easy Halloween treats anyone can make! So cute and fun for kids, they're the perfect Halloween desserts!


As anticipated, I am completely redoing my first area, the town of Jalanthar. I have long considered scraping it and starting all over, because it was too big (24x24), sparse and naif to say the least.
However, too much work had already gone into it, so I decided to keep the basic structure, a hamlet guarded by a semicircular fence and by the mountain slopes, and just redo the textures, fill the gaps and add placeables and vegetation. There is still a long way to go.
Here are some WIP screens, especially of the druid glen, which was originally done mainly with the colour tool and now is textured and populated with plants (which makes, in my opinion, the nearby bee-hives more realistic).
so much to catch up with!
After a long break from NWN2 due to work overload and summer hobbies taking precedence, I am back to modding.
I have a several blog posts to read, and many new interesting mods to play. Sadly, no forum anymore to ask my obnoxious n00b questions.
I have, however, been working a little during the last months, resulting in a couple more areas. Herein below is a completely out-of-place Bedine camp in the Nether Mountains. This guys (not featured, as I haven't learned ambience yet) must have some very good reasons to travel so far west from their home in Anauroch desert!
Presently, I am completely re-doing my very first area (the first both in the mod and in my toolset experience), the town of Jalanthar, because it was poorly done. Not a good idea to start with a town!
The Moon Pass is an ancient, spectacular, sheer-sided gorge splitting the Nether Mountains into two ranges, towering on either side of the River Rauvin with an east-west bend in the middle.
The Rauvin is often called "The Road Through the Marches" and its icy waters are navigable from Sundabar to Silverymoon. The Moon Pass Gorge, however, is impassable without the help of a strong and experienced tow-team from the shore, equipped with multiple lines, or, even better, two teams operating from both banks. Without such assistance, vessels tipically either capsize or smash against the rocks.
Worn towpaths, resembling wide ledges (lacking railings or handholds) were long ago cut into the cliff walls by dwarves and gnomes, and flank both sides of the river, maintained only by usage by the towteams.
The towpaths are too narrow for wagons, and run unbroken along both sides of the gorge.
No wagon road crosses the Moon Pass, but two high, treacherous mulepaths clinging to the slopes of the gorge allow (difficult) passage through the mountains to travelers on foot.
In Lore of Luruar, passage throgh the Moon Pass, both by river and by foot, has been interrupted by a (not entirely natural) rock fall which formed an impassable dam, blocking the road and the water flow, except for the occasional waterfalls spraying among the rock fissures, projected by the pressure of the water-mass pushing against such gigantic stones. The gorge behind has been filled with the water of the blocked river, and the foothpaths have been submerged.
The foregoing is nothing more than a plot device. I have often wondered about the motivations driving a PC through a RPG and, specifically, the motivations inducing a PC to accept a quest. Any quest, even the main plot. Of course, doing quests is quintessential to a RPG, so it is in a way assumed that the player is interested and willing to undergo quests. However, considering the variety of character personality, background and other features allowed by a D&D based game, I have always been intrigued by the question "why should this particular character be enticed by and accept this quest?"
I don't want to go philosophycal, but I believe that most "chosen one" story-lines, albeit often ferociously criticised, simply intend to provide an answer to that question, in order to offer a plausible play-through motivation to any kind of PC, hence to the widest possible public of players. Side-quests are more complicated though, especially in their typical layout of "helping somebody with something". So, their acceptance is frequently driven by very simplistic motivations such as the PC's good nature / sense of duty / interest for reward.
In Lore of Luruar there is no "chosen one" path. The plot unfolds and the PC can stick to it for a number of motivations and personal beliefs/interests, pre-existing to the plot or stirred by the four companions, which I won't spoil. The PC's doings will ultimately result in saving the Silver Marches from great perils, but the PC is not at all required to have such goal. In fact, the existence of a threat to the confederation will not be revealed to the PC until late in the game (differently, the player will receive hints as to what is going on, a bit à-la-OC with the initial Black Garius cut scene).
Paradoxically, though, just the PCs who might indeed have the goal of saving Luruar, may be refrained from undergoing the adventure. This may be particlarly true for lawful PCs.
The fact is that, when beginning the mod, in the town of Jalanthar, the PC will be automatically assigned a quest, which is necessary to provide a bit of background and to justify the presence of the PC in Jalanthar itself. Specifically (no spoiler, as this will be said upon modul load), the PC has been informally asked by a friend, member of the Council of Elders of Everlund, to investigate upon the rumors of fiends reported in the Sundabar Vale. Such fiends should be escapees from Hellgate Keep, destroyed in a epic battle just a couple years before.
So, for those unfamiliar with the geography of the Silver Marches, the PC travelled from Everlund to Jalanthar on the road that follows the River Rauvin, and absolutely needs to cross the Moon Pass Gorge to get on the other side of the Nether Mountains to the Sundabar Vale. Needless to say, our PC will never even get close to Sundabar, for the adventure will lead him / her in the wildest lands of the south-east Silver Marches and in the Anauroch Desert.
For this reason (primarily, but also to introduce other quest-lines), the Moon Pass Gorge needs to be dramaticall shut, so that even the most stubborn PC is forced to a detour in south-east Luruar, where another trail allows passage through the mountains, the infamous Turnstone Pass, abandoned since the fall of southern Hellgate Keep. Of course, by the time he / she gets to Turnstone Pass, rumors of fiends in the Sundabar Vale shall be the last thing on the mind of our PC.
This kept me away from working on the SoZ Holiday Project.
SoZ Holiday Project - who wants a cave entrance?
I may not be very experienced but I thought I should contribute something to this commendable initiative!
For time costraints, I couldn't make a brand new area, but I am glad to give one of the areas I made for LoL: the Nether Mountains! Conveniently rearranged with jungle grass 02 and a nice splashy river instead of the poor dry Rauvin River, so that it can be placed in the Samarach Overland Map!
Come one, somebody among my countless followers must be willing to make a little mountain dungeon!!! It is for the community!!! Perhaps an area previously discarded from your mod?
To solicit applications, I post new screenies of the area and of the 4 entrances (the last one is the one I would use myself). The cave with the blood spot is particularly cute and recommended to anyone!
This weekend I have actually done my homework!
Now the Nether Mountains area is finished! Relatively finished, at least, as I hope to learn better texturing techniques as I progress, so hopefully it can be improved.
- the flora of the Nether Mountains described in the source books cannot be related to the real life flora supported by the toolset. Therefore, since the maps of this region indicate that south of the range the vegetation is deciduous, I went for it. I just tried to give a very bare and desolated feeling to the poor things.
I post screenies for the experts' advice, and please tell me if it is clear that something is wrong with the water level of the River Rauvin ( a plot devise).
Anyway, I am happy with the result as I succeded in making the room as kitch as intended. This will be used for a cutscene hinting at the conceiving of the evil plan setting the plot in motion, and I hope that the obstented lush of the furniture can give an idea of the personality of my villain (definitely NOT an aged austere wizard).
Metabolisme Diet - Ora iku bisa?


The doctor-patient relationship is the foundation of practice of medicine. And, communication is the key factor that decides the interaction between the doctor and his/her patient and influences outcomes.
Doctors are bound, both ethically and legally, to provide adequate information to the patient so that the patient can participate in the decision making process and are in a position to take an 'informed' decision.
Any information given to the patient should be in a language, using words or using terms he/she can understand.
But do patients really comprehend the information that is given to them during the process of informed consent? The science of medicine is abound with complex concepts. Medical terminology uses technical words and jargon that are unfamiliar to the patient and difficult to understand. This may hinder the effectiveness of communication.
One way to improve communication and enhance understanding of medical information is by using analogies. The dictionary meaning of an analogy is a 'resemblance between two situations, people or objects that are otherwise unlike, especially when used as a basis for explanation'.
Face Drooping: Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the person's smile uneven?
Speech Difficulty: Is speech slurred? Is the person unable to speak or hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat any simple sentence.
In patients with stable coronary heart disease (CHD), more physical activity was associated with lower mortality. The largest benefits occurred between sedentary patient groups and between those with the highest mortality risk. These conclusions of a global observational study were published October 3, 2017 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
There has been a significant increase over a 10-year period in the percentage of people with stroke who have high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and other risk factors for stroke, suggests a study published in the October 11, 2017, online issue of the journal Neurology. Of the 922,451 stroke cases, 93% of people had one or more risk factors, which increased from 88% in 2004 to 95% in 2014.
The first UK guideline on the management of adults with systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) formulated by the British Society of Rheumatology have been published October 6, 2017 in the journal Rheumatology. These guidelines cover diagnosis, assessment, monitoring and treatment of patients with mild, moderate and severe lupus.
Vegetarian men were found to have more depressive symptoms after adjustment for socio-demographic factors compared to non-vegetarians in a study of more than 9600 men published in the Journal of Affective Disorders. Nutritional deficiencies such as deficiency of cobalamin or iron have been suggested as a probable cause of depression.
According to a study published online September 20, 2017 in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine, individuals of all age groups visit the emergency departments for sprains, stair-related injuries, though older adults, younger children and women reported more injuries. The most common types of injury were sprains and strains (32.3%), soft tissue injuries (23.8%) and fractures (19.3%). The lower extremities (42.1%) and head/neck (21.6%) were the most frequently injured body regions.
Customer: Hi, good afternoon, this is Martha, I can't print. Every time I try, it says 'Can't find printer'.
Can the patient ask for his/her medical records?
Yes. A patient has the right to get a copy of his/her medical records if he/she asks for it. The Medical Council of India (MCI) Code of Ethics Regulations 2002 states as follows: "If any request is made for medical records either by the patients/authorised attendant or legal authorities involved, the same may be duly acknowledged and documents shall be issued within the period of 72 hours. (1.3.2.)"
Diabetes does not mean that one cannot have desserts forever. While eating too many sugary foods should be avoided, one can have an occasional dessert, especially if one exercises and otherwise eats healthy. It's better to substitute brown sugar or Jaggery in that case. Artificial sweeteners including stevia are the other options.
Fruits are healthy for diabetics but cannot be consumed in huge amounts, as they contain carbohydrates.
As per Ayurveda, diabetes is a Kapha disorder and diabetics should limit the intake of sweet, salt and sour taste in the diet. Any fruit or vegetable, which is bitter and dark green has anti-diabetic properties.
One should combine a bitter taste with a sweet taste when choosing a vegetable of a fruit. For example one should not combine peas with potatoes but one can combine potatoes with methi or palak.
Diabetes is not contagious and one cannot catch diabetes from someone else.

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really friendly. So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!"
Arthritis is an inflammation of the joint and can affect one or multiple joints. While arthritis is most commonly seen in adults over the age of 65, it can also develop in children, teens, and younger adults. There are several different types of arthritis, each with different causes and treatment methods. Osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are the two most common types of arthritis.


Friday evening, May 12, saw the 10th Anniversary of the premier black-tie event Royal Queensbury Championship (RQCC) held at the new Crown Towers Grand Ballroom.
The event drew a crowd of Perth's well-suited and glamorously dressed elite, with the likes of the current Miss Australia Caris Tiivel, Married at First Sight's Nick Furphy, and many more sitting ringside to cheer on the brave boxers who had put in 11 gruelling weeks of intense training in preparation for their night of nights.
The boxer entrances were worthy of a Vegas fight night, ranging from a hilarious take-off of Britney Spears' 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' from Julian 'Left Right Goodnight' Pintaudi to a dramatic Hollywood style entrance from Amy "The Flame" Raats.
The Fight of the Night award was deservedly won by Matt 'IN THE HAT' Galati and Julian 'LEFT RIGHT GOODNIGHT' Pintaudi, deemed to be one of the best fights to ever take to the RQCC Ring.
Maria 'THE XTERMINATOR' Goss took out the Spirit of the Event award for her commitment, sportsmanship and positive attitude from training on day one, all the while fighting to raise awareness for a good cause close to her own heart.
Tim Gossage hosted the event with auctioneer Shaun McEwan from Helping Hands calling the auction at the half time break, full of incredible luxury items, memorabilia and experiences. Some big buyers in the crowd dug deep for the charity auction, snapping up amazing items! The live auction also presented a wonderful opportunity for children's charity ToyBox International to help raise much needed funds for local sick and disadvantaged kids of WA.

The holiday season features concerts across the nation with similar fare: classic carols, tuneful seasonal standards and performances by children's choruses.
But each locale offers something a little different for Yuletide, whether it's an a cappella concert in Carmel, Calif., with Renaissance and gospel tunes, a local meteorologist narrating " 'Twas the Night Before Christmas" in Jacksonville, Fla., or Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer -- together again -- on tour.
Season's greetings.

Alphonse Couvreux (ur. 1820, zm. 1890) – konstruktor francuski, zamieszkały w Paryżu przy rue St. Martin 333; debiutuje w latach 40. XIX w. jako przedsiębiorca przy pracach budowlanych, głównie przy budowie kolei żelaznej. Dzięki swemu doświadczeniu w pracach ziemnych zgłosił 12 marca 1859 r. pierwszy patent na koparkę wielonaczyniową. Model takiej maszyny obecnie znajduje się w Muzeum Techniki – CNAM w Paryżu. W latach 1860-1863 koparki Couvreuxa były stosowane przy budowie kolei Ardeńskiej między Sedanem a Thionville we Francji. W 1863 r. jego maszyny zostały wybrane przez Kampanię Budowy Kanału Sueskiego do prac ziemnych przy drążeniu kanału. Przez trzy lata jego maszyny wydobyły 9 mln m³ ziemi.

W ciągu 25 lat (1859-1884) uzyskał 16 patentów (w 1880 r. patentuje koparki wielonaczyniowe wagonowe).

The European Commission has today taken a number of decisions to implement the organisational consequences of the allocation of portfolios to Commissioners. Two new Directorates-General have been created: DG Energy (ENER) and DG Climate Action (CLIM). The Energy DG consists of the departments in the former Transport and Energy DG dealing with energy issues and of the Task Force Energy which will be transferred from the External Relations DG. The position of Director-General will be assumed by Philip Lowe, a British national, currently Director-General in DG Competition. The departments responsible for transport policy will remain in the renamed Mobility and Transport DG (MOVE). The Climate Action DG will be created from the relevant activities in DG Environment, the activities in the External Relations DG related to international negotiations on climate change and the activities in the Enterprise and Industry DG related to climate change. Jos Delbeke, a Belgian national and currently Deputy Director-General in the Environment DG, has been appointed Director-General of the Climate Action DG.
The Commission has also decided to appoint Christian Leffler, a Swedish national, to the position of Deputy Director-General in the DG for Development and Relations with African, Caribbean and Pacific States. Rudolf Strohmeier, a German national, has been appointed to the position of Deputy Director-General in the Research DG.
The Commission also made a number of appointments at the level of Director and Principal Advisor, including two officials from the Member States which joined the EU in 2004. These decisions were delayed while it was in caretaker mode. It also agreed to transfer a number of activities from one DG to another to better align them with the responsibilities of the respective portfolios of the Commissioners. The DGs concerned are those for Mobility and Transport, Competition, Enterprise and Industry, Environment, Humanitarian Aid and Health and Consumers.
To advance the Commission's strategic approach on research, a task force, to be chaired by the Secretary-General, has been set up. This will launch a strategic reflection at Commission level on the evolution of the research budget, the degree of externalisation in the management of research programmes and the links between research and other policies in organisational terms.

Talawanda Talks
Nerf Warz 2013
Added by Lauren Flum on January 30, 2013.
Saved under All Posts, News, School
What event comes around once a year, allows students to form teams and create a full-fledged war against each other? Nerf Warz.
Nerf Warz (as it is spelled on its Facebook page) is an annual event that Talawanda students have put on for many years. It began on January 1st this year, and it will last until there is only one team standing.
The object of the game is to get other teams out by shooting them with a foam dart. The price to enter Nerf Warz is $5, and the winning team receives all of the money that was collected.
According to the Talawanda Nerf Warz Facebook page, the way to get someone out is by shooting them with a foam dart. Also, the dart may be shot out of any form of nerf gun. "The only rule about the gun is that if it's illegal or harmful it's not allowed."
An example of this is blowguns. Senior Sam James has been using these to shoot his nerf darts since his freshman year. "I used to play with nerf guns with my friends," said James, "The blowdarts shot faster and had further range than any other nerf guns, so it was a no-brainer to use them during Nerf Warz."
Over winter break, Nerf Warz got extremely intense. "Paranoia has taken over my life," said Sophomore Phoebe Meyers. "I refuse to leave my house. People will find me and then I will get out."
Now that school is in session, and because Talawanda is not affiliated with Nerf Warz, players may not get out while in school or during a school-related event.
There is a quota this year, which is a change from previous years. Each team must get at least one opposing team member out each week. If the team does not meet their quota, they lose a person from their own team.
Showdowns have happened just about everywhere. From in the middle of the street to Phan Shin to the Bowling alley, teams have gotten together determined to not only meet their quota, but exceed it.
"The quota drives the game, but really people just sell themselves," said Senior Bobby Bennett. "I don't care because when you're as good as my team, you really don't have to worry about it."
Newly added rules create a fair and quicker-paced game. "In the past years I remember the Senior class always being able to win because first off they knew the people running it better, and the naked rule helped them out significantly," Said co-administrator for this year's Nerf Warz, Ben Hines.
The naked rule, which has been newly adjusted, states that you can get naked in order to defend yourself from getting shot. However, you cannot shoot while you are naked unless the other person is as well.
"When you are a freshman or sophomore you are not going to ride around with your parents naked! I wanted this year while I ran it to be more fair for everyone including underclassmen," Said Hines.
Participants of Nerf Warz have become extremely attached to the game, and have begun to complain when they are out. "Everyone always has a different story and it's almost impossible for us to tell who is right," Said co-administrator Andrew Marks, "People can't seem to be honest while playing and if they think this year sucks then they can only point the finger at themselves."
Nerf Warz has become a sort of tradition at THS, and as the tradition continues, the popularity has increased as well.

To be honest I never could quite figure this Google thing out, how it ranks good sites from bad sites. One day it all clicked for me and its so simple when you look at it from Google's point of view. Google keeps its customers by providing relevant sites to your search queries. How does it choose the best sites for what you are looking for? Well, first of all it needs to be relevant (key words) and secondly it needs to be useful and of high quality. One way Google knows to measure quality is by the amount of links referring to your site. It stands to reason a site referred to by 100 websites may be more useful than a site referred by just a few right?
1.	Write articles like this one. Choose a topic you know and write up a short 500 word articles with a link back to your website and post it to article directories. Not only are these one-way links but other websites will pick it up and post one way links on their websites. Google gives you a big tick for each one way link!
2.	Viral marketing. Ask other website owners directly if they would like to post your article either on their website or include it as part of their newsletter. If it's a good article chances are readers will in turn pass this on to other readers providing advertising for both you and the other Webmaster. Like a virus, it spreads to more and more readers who may post the article, providing more one-way links.
3.	Post to forums related to your area and include a link in your signature file. It is critical to join in the discussion and not blatantly advertise, as this can look unprofessional and self-gratifying. Add value to the discussion and simply provide a link in your signature. Visit some forums and see who you would link to in the discussion and try and copy what they did right.
a.	Find a relevant site as a potential link partner. Tip ? Try entering this into google "your keyword or phrase" + "add url". This will then list the most popular sites that will allow you to link back to them.
c.	Contact them directly showing them your link to them with url of their site and something you liked about their site, something unique. Compliments can only help here.
Of course not all sites will link to you and it's a bit of a numbers game but you can get results. Its better to personalize your contact than mass e-mailing a general group of websites.
Don't forget to always be polite and keep up a schedule where you will aim to get say ten or twenty links out there per week. You will then have quite a collection after a few months and traffic should start flowing to your site.

The Voth group develops theoretical and computational frameworks to study multiscale phenomena in biology and materials science. We work on both new theoretically-informed conceptual models as well as more quantitative, systematic, bottom-up modeling methods. Since 2005, our group has been one of the leaders in the development of methods for defining coarse-grained (CG) interactions from atomistic simulations in the condensed phase. We have since contributed to systematic methods for defining optimal choices of coarse-graining mapping, observable representation, and effective interactions for large biomolecules. Also, we have developed new enhanced sampling methods, the ultra coarse-graining framework, and new approach to coarse-grained dynamics. We aim to research novel mapping schemes and reactive coarse-graining methods in the future. The development of these methods is tightly coupled to our work on molecular and reactive simulations.
The multiscale coarse-graining (MS-CG) methodology provides a systematic, bottom-up way to calculate effective CG interactions based on rigorous statistical mechanics. It seeks to approximate the many-body potential of mean force by variationally minimizing the difference between CG forces at the mapped fine-grained reference forces (a.k.a, "force matching"). This method is related to liquid state theory and the Yvon-Born-Green equation. The code implementing the MS-CG methodology is available for download here and is available as a fix in LAMMPS through the USER-MSCG package.
Recent methodological work on MS-CG has included the inclusion of three-body interactions as well as formulations for both the constant NVT and constant NPT ensembles. We have also explored center-of-charge mappings as an alternative to the more traditional center-of-mass and center-of-geometry mappings. MS-CG models have been applied to wide range of systems including common solvents (e.g., methanol, hexane, water, ionic liquids), membrane systems, carbohydrates, polyglutamine aggregation, peptide secondary structures, and larger proteins.
Using MS-CG, the sensitivity of coarse-grained models to changes in the underlying FG model from which it was derived can be studied. This method provides a low-noise, computationally efficient way to calculate this sensitivity. The sensitivity can be used to accurately calculate alchemical transferability across interaction parameters to first order at low computational cost. Additionally, we used MS-CG to investigate the challenges of representing observables in CG models. We present a condition that can ensure that a CG observable reproduces the distribution of the FG observable projected onto CG model.
Recently, we extended the MS-CG methodology by explicitly including the order parameter dependent interactions to better reproduce the structural correlations at the inhomogeneous system. Another extension was to develop a theoretical methodology of coarse-graining for the quantum mechanical regime based on the MS-CG methodology. For the quantum MS-CG (qMS-CG) method, the Feynman path integral description of quantum statistical mechanics was combined with the variational force-matching method.
We developed a new systematic framework for coarse-graining by incorporating internal state variables with configurational variables into CG beads. This UCG he development of this method is actively ongoing. In the current UCG framework, two different internal dynamics are rigorously explored: rapidly equilibrating (in a local equilibrium) or rarely switching (Markov-state). For the rarely switching dynamics, we constructed the UCG model at ultralow resolution that combines particle-based and Markov-state-based modeling to allow for dynamics both of and within coarse-grained beads. From the developed UCG model, we studied the limit where state switching is rare compared to the time scale of particle motion.
For the other extreme where the internal CG states are in a rapid local equilibrium, the UCG force field is obtained by mixing standard CG force fields in terms of local order parameters where the degree of mixing is regulated. We designed the UCG theory for this limit to embed an environmental dependence and many-body effects to the CG force field. To modulate the interactions between the UCG beads, we focused on order parameters in various systems ranging from hydrophobic association to inhomogeneous interfacial systems. Compared to the standard CG approach, the developed UCG models can faithfully recapitulate the structural correlations more accurately. More fascinatingly, we recently demonstrated that this UCG approach can impart transferable CG interactions from the bulk system to the interfacial systems (liquid-vapor or liquid-liquid interfaces). Currently, we are working on applying the UCG methodology to complex biomolecules or liquid phenomena.
Due to the dramatic reduction in the number of degrees of freedom (DoF) that is achieved through coarse-graining, the dynamics in the CG system is usually sped up. However, the interpretation of CG dynamics is often difficult due to the inhomogeneous acceleration of diffusion and transitions. This is due to the removal of the fluctuation forces on the CG sites after the DoF reduction. Our dynamic force matching method allows for the reintroduction of those fluctuation forces into the CG model through "fictitious particles" in a way that does not significantly affect the computational efficiency or the equilibrium properties of the CG model. In our first paper, we showed that this method can accurately reproduce the diffusion rate and reasonably represent the short-time dynamics. Additional developments have allowed us to simultaneously reproduce multiple long-time properties (such as self-diffusion rate and rotational relaxation rate) as well.
Creating coarse-grained models that properly reflect the underlying physics and chemistry inherently requires having robustly explored the phase space defined by the fine-grained model. Moreover, it is important that the model be parameterized correctly in order to have simulations properly reflect behavior seen in experiments. The Voth group has sought to ameliorate difficulties related to both aspects of the sampling problem.
First, in order to ensure robust sampling, the Voth group makes extensive use of free energy methods, which enhance the exploration of phase space along chosen collective variables (reaction coordinates) in the system. We make extensive use of both umbrella sampling and metadynamics. We have recently put a substantial amount of effort into the development and benchmarking of new metadynamics variants. In particular, our group first proved that the well-tempered version of metadynamics converges asymptotically to the exact free energy of the system. Then using the conditions for convergence, we were able to design new methods, such as the transition tempered metadynamics method, which first uses untempered metadynamics to enhance exploration, then tempers after a transition between two specified areas of phase space is detected, giving much more robust results quickly. For example, we have shown this to be a superior method for studying the permeation of small molecules through lipid bilayers. We have also recently developed the metabasin metadynamics method, which restricts the area in which bias is added to a region which is below a free-energetic threshold, where this region is detected automatically and on-the-fly. This allows for more careful addition of bias without pushing the system into unphysical regions.
Second, in order to ensure the distribution sampled reflects experimental observations, new linear biasing methods have been developed that ensure experimentally observed averages or target distributions are recovered by a simulation with minimal perturbation. We have developed experimentally directed simulation (EDS) methods which discover the correct biasing parameters on the fly, and show how these can also be used to bias coarse-grained models. We have also developed an experimentally directed metadynamics method (EDM), which uses the same ideas of metadynamics to add bias to the system such that the system samples a target distribution. The EDS method has recently been applied in reactive simulations of water and water with an excess proton. Here we show that by only correcting the oxygen-oxygen radial distribution function of DFT water with a poor functional, we can greatly improve the structure and dynamics in the system effectively without additional cost.

The Higher School of Economics has made it onto 13 subject and two subject area rankings in the thanks to the university's achievements as part of the Project 5-100. In addition, HSE was in the top 100 ranking for three subjects – Economics & Econometrics, Politics & International Studies, and Sociology – and it was the only Russian school in the Accounting & Finance 101-150 ranking. As for total number of subject rankings, HSE was third in Russia.
'HSE has been improving rapidly since the start of the Project 5-100, ranking at the top of four to five new subject areas each year and repeatedly improving its position in the subject rankings from past years,' according to Irina Karelina, Director of Strategic Planning at HSE.
In Social Sciences & Management, HSE ranked 155, up from 161 last year, and the university improved its ranking in nearly all of this area's specific subjects. HSE was in the top 51-100 for Economics & Econometrics, Politics & International Studies, and Sociology; 101-150 for Accounting & Finance; and 151-200 for Business & Management. In addition, HSE made it onto three new subject rankings in Social Sciences & Management, ranking in the top 151-200 for Communication & Media Studies and the top 201-250 for both Law and Education.
For the first time ever, the Higher School of Economics was honoured with a spot in the top 151-200 for History and Linguistics, both of which fall under the Arts & Humanities broad subject area. In addition, for the third year in a row, HSE ranked in the 151-200 group for Philosophy, a subject that includes more than 600 universities.
In the Mathematics ranking, HSE skyrocketed 100 positions compared to last year and was in the top 151-200 of more than 1,100 universities from around the world. In Computer Science & Information Systems, the university improved its ranking by 50 positions, moving into the top 351-400 out of more than 1,200 universities included in this subject ranking.
Subject rankings most accurately reflect a university's real achievements in science and education. They are the best way to judge the quality of a school's academic publications, and the reputation assessment for a particular field is carried out by professionals of that field and can therefore be considered first-hand assessments, which is not common for so-called institutional or consolidated rankings that assess universities as a whole.
Universities from 74 countries are represented in the QS subject and subject area rankings. In 2017, the QS subject ranking increased from 42 to 46 different disciplines, the new subjects being Anatomy & Physiology; Hospitality & Leisure Management; Sport-related Subjects; and Theology, Divinity & Religious Studies. The methodology is built on four sources: QS's global surveys of academics and employers, which are used to evaluate an institution's reputation in each field, and research impact, which is based on number of research citations and the h-index in the relevant subject. This is determined by using the Scopus database, and the reputational indicators make up between 50% and 100% of the individual subject rankings.
Over the last six months, HSE has also achieved great success in other rankings as well. The university ranked 83rd in Business and Economics in the THE subject ranking and 181st in Mathematics in the U.S. News Best Global Universities Subject rankings.


Another Beautiful Day in Paradise. Well....it could have been a little warmer. The skate started off at 43 degrees and ended up at 49 degrees. At least it warmed up some. We thought about doing the Skyway Access Trail but thinking about the cold wind that would be blowing out there, we decided to do the Pink Streets. Absentee skaters Brian K., Parker and Glennis came. Welcome back. Andrea lead the way to and through the Pink Streets. We got to see places we had never seen before. After the Pink Streets and when we got through Bahama Shores a group decided to turn back. This group did 11 miles per Dee. The others continued on and ended up doing 15 miles as indicated by Dee. The group that turned back early stopped to see Linda S. and how her house renovation was coming along. The whole down stairs was being redone including the moving of walls etc. The center place of the down stairs was now a large size kitchen. Can you imagine that?
We Brunched at Munch's as planned. Munch's was very busy but we got seated in about 5 minutes or so. Our table all had Jeff's favorite dish, the Smoked Sausage. Naturally Jeff rated it a 9.5. It was pretty good. Leanne, Andrea's daughter joined us for Brunch. Welcome Leanne. The name of the day was "Debbie" and our Debbie got her Brunch for free. We all also got some cake as Munch's Debbie had worked there 15 years.


That would be a much better place for him than with us. As much as I would love to take care of him, HE NEEDS TO BE IN THE BEST PLACE POSSIBLE FOR HIM, and I truly believe a Horsey Mama is always the best place for them. We can never make this about ego. It has to be what is best for the baby, and that is what we always want. PTL!!
So just wanted to say THANK YOU for being ready to help and hold on for the next one that needs you. There will always be another one.
God bless you guys. You are amazing and without you horsey angels, none of this would be possible.


For the ultimate in wall décor, we recommend a country wall mural for your home.

This mural is offered in two sizes, depending if you would like a full or half wall. Glorious hillsides with saltbox houses and trees cover this mural giving your country room the effect of a beautiful view.


DD Gore has been my student for the last 3 years. Those of you who have had classes with her have grown to love her just as I have. She got word last week that she has stage 3 Lymphoma and will be undergoing some intense chemo therapy treatments for the next 6 months.
I had the privilege of sneaking in to check on her this morning and send her some good energy.
Students of mine don't just stay students but we become connected at a deeper level. When we write together and share our stories we share our love, heartaches, sadness, joy, pain. We connect with a heart connection.
My business is heart centered so I connect not just as a writing coach but as a friend, even as a member of my family.
Let's all continue to remember DD in your thoughts and prayers. She would really appreciate it!
A lovely sentiment Tammy. All so very true.
If anyone can pull through this it is our feisty DD. Send her my love and admiration.
You can be assured that we are thinking and praying for DD. Tell her we said hello. Can you post where she is at so we can send her a card or message via Facebook. Thank you.
seat warm. Thinking lots of good thoughts and praying for her.

The second Werkraumschau in the Werkraum Bregenzerwald is dedicated to a physical phenomenon that we take for granted, and without which life on Earth would not be possible: light. The protagonists of the staging of shadows, artificial light, and daylight are objects created by the Voralberger Handwerksbetriebe, who are offered the Werkraumschau as a stage every year.
The idea that light is not just light is suggested to the visitors to the current Werkraumschau. In the building designed by Peter Zumthor, visitors can experience both the natural light that enters through the glass facade and changes with the passing of the day and seasons, and also artificial light from stage spotlights emphasising the main points and creating atmospheric effects. As a result, attention is drawn to the relevance of light in designing rooms and the "palette of light craft". At the heart of this setting, the Werkraum Bregenzerwald members' creations will be exhibited, which become a part of the show themselves, gaining an additional layer of effect through shadowplay, for example, or particularly accentuated surfaces.
The scientific background to light is also taken into account with interactive stations. All those interested can sharpen their perception, carry out experiments themselves, and learn about various technologies. In addition, there is a special light workshop with activities for children on different themes.
Atelier Gassner, a graphics and communications bureau in Vorarlberg, has been commissioned to carry out the design of the exhibition this year.

Blayde Grayson was sentenced to death by the State of Mississippi for the murder of an elderly woman. According to court documents Blayde Grayson broke into the home of the victim and when she woke up he stabbed her over thirty times causing her death. Blayde Grayson would be arrested, convicted and sentenced to death.

On May 5, 1996, the body of seventy-eight-year-old Minnie Smith was discovered by her son-in-law. The police investigation revealed that Smith had been stabbed to death, apparently in the course of a burglary of her home. Law enforcement officers interviewed neighbors within a radius of several miles, before eventually focusing their attention on Blayde Grayson.
¶ 4. On March 23, 1995, Grayson had pled guilty to grand larceny and to the reduced charge of knowingly receiving stolen property in connection with burglaries apparently committed in the area of the Smith home. He was sentenced to two three-year terms to be served concurrently and transferred to the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC) Restitution Center Program in neighboring Jackson County, with the understanding that a failure to complete the program would result in his being placed in the general MDOC population without any further orders from the court. According to documents filed with the court, Grayson later walked off of a work detail, and a warrant was issued for his arrest on January 19, 1996, for probation violation.

¶ 5. Soon after the murder, Sheriff George Miller of George County contacted law enforcement officials in Florida in an attempt to locate Grayson.1 Miller soon learned that law enforcement officials in Escambia County, Florida, were also seeking Grayson in connection with three armed robberies committed in Florida in May of 1996. Sheriff Miller later indicated that Grayson became a suspect because of his prior crimes and because his home prior to incarceration was "a very short distance" from Minnie Smith's home. On May 17, 1996, the Escambia County sheriff's department called Miller to inform him that Grayson was in custody. Sheriff Miller traveled to Florida that afternoon, accompanied by Houston Door and John Miller of the Mississippi Highway Patrol and Chief Investigator Al Hillman of the George County sheriff's office. When Sheriff Miller arrived in Escambia County, he began interviewing Grayson,2 after having him sign a waiver of his Miranda rights. Although he had earlier requested to speak with law enforcement personnel from George County, Grayson apparently changed his mind after Sheriff Miller began the interview. The transcript of the hearing on the motion to suppress Grayson's confession contains the following exchange:
Q. [W]ould you read the line stated by Mr. Blayde Grayson, sir? It begins "no, sir".3
A. "No, sir, I'd rather not until I talk to my lawyer."
Q. All right. Now, that is about-what-about a quarter of the way into the interview?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. And he tells you at that point he wants to talk to his lawyer?
My Crime Library Presents: Deryl Dedmon Teen Killer Hate Crime
Q. All right. Now did you continue to question him after that, Sheriff?
Q. All right ․ answered, "no, sir, not really" and what was your response to that, Sheriff?
A. Okay. The Sheriff from Escambia County, you were wanting to talk to us. [sic] We're over here to talk with you.
Q. And Mr. Grayson's response is, "I was going to deal with you all when I got down there and got my lawyer". Is that correct?
A. That's correct.
Q. And what is your response to that, Sheriff?
A. Sheriff-this is a situation were you going to-
Q. Just on the green part is where I've highlighted where you are speaking, Sheriff.
A. "We need to establish where you were at-you're not willing to risk that. We need"-
Q. At that point Mr. Grayson responds, does he not, "I'm not willing to discuss nothing until I've talked to my lawyer. I didn't mean to bring you fellows all the way down here for nothing-now you know all the way down here-but I need to talk to my lawyer about this-this is a situation". What is your response to that, Sheriff?
A. "This is a situation where you are going to confirm with him before you talk to us about the matter? That is correct".
Q. Mr. Grayson's response is "yes, sir"?
A. Sheriff-"you have not been in George County, is that correct"?
Q. And Mr. Grayson's response is "no, sir".
A. "Have you got witnesses to that, is that correct?"
Q. And Mr. Grayson's response is "yes, sir".
¶ 6. At that point, the State interrupted the line of questioning, and after some discussion, Grayson simply offered the transcript into evidence. In later testimony, Sheriff Miller basically conceded that Grayson asked for a lawyer four times in the space of about four minutes before the interview ended.

¶ 7. The Florida interview ended on the night of May 17, 1996, and then Sheriff Miller transported Grayson back to George County that same night. On Monday, May 20, Miller sought and received an order signed by Judge Ronnie Wilkerson to obtain blood and tissue samples from Grayson.4 On Tuesday, May 21, Grayson (according to the testimony of Officer James Tanner) requested to speak with Sheriff Miller. Grayson gave a statement to Miller in which he admitted being at the scene of the crime but claimed that an individual named Jason Kilpatrick actually robbed and killed Smith. Later that afternoon, Grayson accompanied Sheriff Miller and Officer Tanner back to Florida to retrieve a checkbook taken from Smith's home that had been left in the trailer Grayson shared with Kilpatrick, which Grayson claimed implicated Kilpatrick.
¶ 8. On Thursday, May 23, Grayson repeated his accusations against Kilpatrick in a written statement given during an interview with Sheriff Miller and Inspector Dorr. According to the testimony of Miller and Dorr, this interview was initiated by Grayson. At the conclusion of this interview, Grayson agreed to take a polygraph test. That test took place on Friday, May 24, in Jackson. After the polygraph examiner indicated that Grayson failed the test and accused him of lying, Grayson admitted to killing Smith while robbing her home. Grayson later repeated that confession to Dorr and on videotape. The confession was admitted at trial, and Grayson was convicted on August 7, 1996, and sentenced to death by lethal injection.
