I know that the Carabinieri have been complimented by everybody; everyone wants to imitate them. However, before you start boasting I must tell you that before going to college in England when I was eleven I went to primary school in Palermo for three years. Therefore for me you are just Piedmont cops! O.K? That is all. There's another point I'd like to make: after having swayed for about 183-185 years, you have now taken on some women; now, perhaps, you have a future. Thirdly: I must remind you that Carlo Jean, who is an old friend of mine, worked for years in Washington D.C., occupying positions of responsibility. It is a matter of the MSU in the entire activity, that is peacekeeping, peace enforcement, peace building, etc. Now, perhaps, the job of the MSU is a nice job and you have to know how to go about it. In fact, many other things may be done without expecting Italy to train thousands of people for the MSU, perhaps to train the police of the whole world. Sometimes the eastern side of Washington D.C. would do well with a MSU. 1700 people were killed in the last two years: perhaps we need a MSU in Washington D.C. However, before doing this and though your job is very nice and integration is one of your territorial competencies as well as the competencies in the battalions, etc., you have a specific function in something bigger than this: you need to work with the others, with the army, with local armies, foreign armies, the Italian army; you need to work with civilians.
There is a problem however: the job of a MSU, the job of entering an area that is neither hot nor cold (an MSU does not carry out its job in Parioli nor in the middle of a battle where cannon balls are fired) is difficult enough at home, in Calabria and Sardinia, but to carry it out abroad is tenfold more difficult; unfortunately, we cannot avoid this difficulty, the difficulty of the job of a MSU, doing it well and, at the same time, maintaining a dynamic and constructive co-operation with the existing situation. MSU in this liaison cooperation - communication - job sharing - compromising - etc. This is what is called jointness, unity of force. Unity with foreign forces and civilians as well, civilians carrying out Carlo Jean's macropolitical functions or the more normal functions of giving economic, sanitary aid and so forth. This is all very difficult.
I am also aware of the fact that jointness has a true and proper cost, there is no point in preaching the unity of forces as if it didn't entail a cost; it has an enormous cost because when we try to stay together without quarrelling we always risk falling to a low common denominator If you have a private talk with the Marines, after the war in Iraq, they would say that the hardest thing wasn't fighting the Iraqi, the Iraqi army, the fedayn, etc. Nor were the sandstorms. The most difficult thing was those 24 hours they had to co-operate with the American army. Cooperating with the British, perhaps: but when they had to... that particular time when all the MRI armies arrived in the western side of Baghdad, that is the airport, and the Marines, in the south-eastern side, had to pass the city of Baghdad because the MRI went to Tikrit - you may remember that the Iraqi war ended with the vehicles of the Marines, those built to cross two kilometers of beach - parked in the streets of Tikrit. All this for the sake of those who could move. 200 To do this however they had to pass the city of Baghdad and had thus to co-operate with the army present in the western side patrolling the city. This liaison required an eighteen-hour negotiation. True, there was no danger of combat, but those present thought that this was soon to come.
At the end the army allowed the Marines to cross Baghdad, though without tanks. How did they manage in Tikrit without tanks when they met what could have been a counterfort? Jointness is difficult to carry out, even in less dramatic situations, simply because one does not have enough officers and the latter have to do many things in a complex environment as well as dealing with other corps that speak different languages and have a different terminology, operational methods and concepts of acceptable or unacceptable risks. Jointness is thus very difficult and the danger is that it may be carried out at the expense of carrying out one's activity. We all agree, we are always having meetings, and nobody has time to patrol the streets and work. This is what may happen. This is why I would like to speak of the following: You have already been congratulated and told how good and nice you are. I would like to give you a specific suggestion: something in between. Italy cannot multiply the number and entity of the MSUs around the world for the demand may be endless.
What may be done is the following: nowadays there is a real problem, as you well know, and that is that every time a new situation arises, international leaders, the élite and the mass-media do no longer intend to accept the disruption of certain countries (nowadays if Haiti is being disrupted we feel the need to intervene whereas formerly nobody seemed to mind. But today we have to intervene practically everywhere); considering this today there is a mechanism by which if someone phones the UNO in New York and says: "do something, send us someone". The UNO (this was Kofi Annan's job before being promoted) starts summoning someone, at this point there are two kinds of countries: those trained and capable who have the right forces who reply: "we can't send our men because they are already engaged elsewhere"; and those countries who do nothing but transfer their troops from their barracks (and making them have their meals and possibly the UNO meals), but who are totally and rather pathetically unprepared.
And the level of their lack of training varies. Every year I personally award a peacekeeping prize, though inversely: there is a gold, a silver and a bronze medal. Some years ago I awarded the gold medal to that Guinea battalion that, once entered the UNO to participate in public order upkeep operations, sold its uniforms to the rebels in exchange of money and diamonds and remained half naked, without vehicles or weapons. It won the gold medal, but gold medals are rare. Silver medals are frequent: they are awarded to those who sell half their weapons or ammunitions to the most wicked in the area. Lastly the bronze medal awarded to those who are simply unskilled. So, what is my suggestion? I suggest that instead of endlessly multiplying the Carabinieri (nowadays this can also be done by genetics, we may clone a perfect Carabiniere; take a Carabinieri in the midst of a storm and clone him) we may create a school (a training camp) where Kofi Annan may phone and instead of calling the usual suspects such as Bangladesh and the like, the latter may qualify by sending a battalion to a school where they may learn the MSU job and then commit themselves to keep this unit together for three years.
Training validity should expire after three years: thus, instead of summoning those who are ready and capable, those who refuse and those who accept but are unprepared, Kofi Annan could rely on a limited list of those who have been trained. It would be far cheaper to send people to this school to be trained. In other words, employ a training function as a qualification for an international mission. There would therefore be three categories: countries with good units but already engaged. Those who are willing to do the job but are unprepared and lastly those who want to do the job for economic reasons and are prepared and trained. Then there are technical issues. From the military viewpoint for instance (I know little about the military aspect and the police functions and as I left Palermo when I was very young I have not observed the Carabinieri from the military viewpoint). I only know that in ten weeks you can train a person from the military viewpoint; a person can be trained to carry out the minimal garrison infantry military aspect, to do few things but to do them well and not be defeated or shamed by any group of armed boys as occurred in Sierra Leone where armed boys would capture entire battalions under the UNO.
This could most certainly be avoided. Much more than ten weeks is required for the other jobs of the MSUs such as the police functions; understanding the territory, understanding how to move about on the territory. However, I don't see how a two-year training could be possible. To start with, twenty weeks could be enough. A unit from a willing country such as Bangladesh could have a twenty-week training divided into ten weeks of military training and ten weeks of territorial training, social and integrative police, post conflict training and everything else. And then we have a unit from a country that really wants to send it abroad and that has had twenty weeks of proper training. In this way Italy could contribute to the creation of available foreign battalions trained by the special method of the Carabinieri. Training could be carried out in Italy or we could think in terms of a mobile training team where an entire Carabinieri contingent goes on the spot not to act directly as a MSU, but to train personnel on the basis of 1 out of 20, 1 out of 15.
Now one may wonder: "how much can one train, how much can one learn, how much can a Carabinieri do in twenty weeks?" and so forth. The answer is in remembering what competition is about. I am not suggesting that you open a restaurant to cook pasta in Naples (even the worst restaurant in Naples has some degree of skill): I am suggesting you open a "peace" restaurant: it is enough to cook some pasta e put some tomato sauce on it to make people happy because it is far better than what they are used to eating at home. What we see today in UNO interventions is dreadful: politicians, as well as the press, the mass media, who criticize everything and everyone, say nothing about the behavior of multinational forces in situations such as the one carried on for years in Yugoslavia and elsewhere such as Sierra Leone where 11000 soldiers, so-called "soldiers of various countries" are incapable of doing anything against enemies who are but youngsters armed with kalashnikovs and in fact flee before them. Thus, considering the above, I believe we can give a serious and lasting training where you can throw out anyone who is unfit because you are not on the territory where you have to accept everything.
Italy would make the effort of training them, but if they cannot be trained, they can be thrown out. You can then have an Italian trained unit, a unit trained by the Italians that would be far better than the ones existing today and would not mean an impossible sacrifice because in time there would be 10-20 Italian trained units, far more than could be expressed by Italian-Italian units. This is my suggestion. Thank you.

New for old gold
By Robin Roberts on 2018-11-08 - Has had with a career spent covering the automotive industry and particularly its Welsh component suppliers - he can not only tell you what goes where but possibly who made it fit. He has been a motoring journalist based in Wales for three decades.
A CLASSIC car business is turning out new for old gold.
Hemmels of Cardiff is probably one of the least known success stories in Britain's automotive sector but it is rapidly gaining recognition around the world.
It specialises in nut and bolt regeneration of classic Mercedes-Benz sports cars and prices for their year-long rebuilt models begin at £225,000.
For that an owner with a post-war Mercedes-Benz sports car hands it over to the 45-strong craftsmen at Hemmels and sits back while the Neugeboren Process is completed.
The owner can watch on-line the gradual strip down, cataloguing, and painstaking rebuilding with genuine Mercedes-Benz parts, retrimming and repainting before it's handed back, often better than when it was first built half a century ago.
Hemmels can even include modern additions such as USB ports, or state of art sound systems which retain the car's original look, and upgrade performance.
"It takes 52 weeks to complete a project," said Ian Wood, marketing director with Hemmels. "But the effect it has on the owners is remarkable and they cannot believe it is the same car."
Hemmels started as a two-man renovation company in 2016 with a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda sports car and the quality of its bespoke workmanship spread among enthusiasts to whom money was no object so more enquiries and projects came in.
Two years on and the company now employs over 40 craftsmen and has six apprentices on its payroll who are learning traditional automotive skills.
There are over a dozen Mercedes-Benz models in their secure workshops and more in a holding warehouse awaiting the go-ahead.
Every car which comes into them is carefully documented and as it's stripped down the parts are allocated to boxes ready for renovation and refitting.
New or repaired items are refitted once the body is stripped to bare metal, cleaned, renovated and repainted. Each process is audited and recorded and this is where the Neugeboren Process takes its name as a car is reborn or regenerated.
Apart from the apprentices, the craftsmen have spent a lifetime in the automotive trade and have been hand-picked for their skills in mechanical, bodywork, electrical, and painting.
"Quality before quantity is what we strive to achieve every time," said Ian Wood. "Some have come to us from businesses where they had to push out a number of jobs each day and the temptation was to cut corners to achieve targets, but that's not the way we do things at Hemmels."
He said even the approaching Brexit did not worry them although they don't carry huge parts stocks.
"We import parts from Germany on a just in time principle but even if they are held up a few days at HM Customs that's not a issue when a car takes a year to build."
The quality of Hemmels workmanship has been recognised by Mercedes-Benz and Hemmels will supply a model for exhibition for them. Importantly, all regeneration models carry a 12 months full warranty.
After each rebuild every model is comprehensively road-tested by the Hemmels engineers to make sure it performs as it should before it's signed off and the company's own badge is added to the car.

RENNY HARLIN'S THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT — A REVIEW BY NICK CLEMENT
July 28, 2015 November 9, 2015 by nlclement, posted in Film Review
I'm a massive fan of Renny Harlin's output as an action director and this is one of his best. It's probably Shane Black's most underrated screenplay – it's hysterical and violent and nasty and clever and witty and totally off its ass. Geena Davis was never sexier or as commanding on screen, and she paired beautifully with Samuel L. Jackson, who delivered one of his snappiest post Pulp Fiction performances as a sleazy private investigator who has to help Davis regain her memory and take up her old profession – that of a secret and deadly spy who has a team of mercenaries coming after her to wipe her out for good. A terrific supporting cast including Brian Cox, David Morse, Craig Bierko, Tom Amandes, and Melina Kanakaredes was on display, and as per usual for a big-budget Harlin action flick, the tech credits were utterly superb. Guillermo Navarro's dynamic widescreen lensing was in perfect tandem with Harlin's signature slick-and-gritty style (always felt that he was one of the better shooters of action, taking a page from Tony Scott's handbook at times), and William Goldenberg's propulsive editing proved to be a perfect match for Alan Silvestri's appropriately bombastic and triumphant musical score. Black pocketed a big pay day for this spec script, and while the film wasn't a smash hit in theaters, I know I can't be alone in loving this wild and crazy late 90's actioner that took full advantage of its hard R-rating, and it also has the added benefit of taking place at Christmas (a Black staple) and featuring action in the SNOW, which I always LOVE.

CSA Propose Changes and Clarifications to Regulatory Framework for Dealers, Advisers and Investment Fund Managers
business lawsecurity enforcement
Securities Bulletin
On December 5, the Canadian Securities Administrators ("CSA") proposed changes to the regulatory framework for dealers, advisers and investment fund managers. The changes range from technical adjustments to more substantive changes that limit the extent of activities of certain registrants.
The majority of the proposed changes would affect National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations ("NI 31-103"). Specifically, some of the key amendments include:
Sub-adviser exemption. Registered advisers acting as sub-advisers to a registered adviser or dealer would be exempt from certain registrant obligations so long as certain conditions are met; such conditions include that the sub-adviser has no direct contact with the registered adviser or dealer's clients unless such registered adviser or dealer is present in person or over the telephone or other real-time communications technology.
International sub-adviser exemption. This exemption would be available to international sub-advisers on the same terms as the sub-adviser exemption discussed immediately above, with the added requirements that: (i) the sub-adviser's head office or place of business is in a foreign jurisdiction; (ii) the sub-adviser is authorized in the foreign jurisdiction to carry on activities that registration in the local jurisdiction would permit; and (iii) the sub-adviser engages in the business of an adviser in the foreign jurisdiction.
Short-term debt exemption. Under this new exemption, which would replace blanket orders already in place in every jurisdiction except Ontario (where it is provided for in legislation), dealer registration requirements would not apply to trades by specified financial institutions in short-term debt having a prescribed credit rating. The exemption would be limited to trades with permitted clients.
Limitation of activities of exempt market dealers. Exempt market dealers would not be permitted to conduct brokerage activities (i.e. to trade securities on an exchange in foreign or Canadian markets) or trade freely tradeable exchange-traded securities off marketplace, and would only be permitted to underwrite securities in a private placement, not in a prospectus offering.
Experience requirements for CCOs. The CSA proposes to add an experience requirement for chief compliance officers of dealer firms. Chief compliance officers would be required to have 12 months of relevant securities experience in the 36 month period prior to applying for registration.
The CSA also propose to prohibit registrants from relying on exemptions for activities their category of registration permits.
In addition, the CSA propose to provide clarification or additional guidance on the following:
Application of the "business trigger" test to start-up issuers. In response to concerns that a start-up issuer may be required to register as a dealer if, in its early stage of business, the issuer does not appear to qualify as an active non-securities business (e.g. issuer focuses on raising capital), the CSA propose additional guidance. Under this proposal, the start-up issuer would not be required to register as a dealer if it is raising capital to advance a bona fide business plan.
Trades through or to a registered dealer. The CSA propose to clarify the exemption for trades made through a registered dealer to confirm that such exemption is not available if the person relying on the exemption solicits or contacts any purchaser in respect of the trade.
Subordination agreements. In response to the failure of some firms to comply with requirements regarding subordination agreements, the CSA intend to clarify that subordination agreements must be delivered to the regulator before subordinated long term debt can be excluded from working capital calculations. In addition, the CSA propose to clarify that only non-current related party debt can be excluded from such calculations.
Aside from NI 31-103 and its Companion Policy, the proposed amendments will also affect NI 33-109 Registration Information, NI 52-107 Acceptable Accounting Principles and Auditing Standards, and related policies and forms.
The CSA is seeking comments on the proposed amendments until March 5, 2014.

Long Island On Track To Enter Phase 2 Of Reopening Next Week, Some Officials Want To Speed Things Up
Jennifer McLogan
The second phase for reopening New York's economy begins on Long Island next week.
Some restrictions are being lifted but questions linger.
Phase 2 will soon be welcomed in, but what does that entail?
"I'm not really clear what will be opening," one woman told CBS2's Jennifer McLogan.
"I would like to know what it is. Is it the salons?" another woman said.
"Hopefully on Wednesday, we will be able to open up. They'll be able to get cut, color and blow-dry services," said Jennifer Frisina, of Luxe & Co. blow-dry bar in Babylon.
Phase 2 means yes for hair salons and barbershops; they can open, mostly by appointment.
But it's still a no to manicures, pedicures, threading, waxing, facials and tattoos.
"Wednesday can't come fast enough. On all our Zoom calls, everyone is looking a little ragged, and they need to get to barber and the salon," said Matt McDonough with Babylon-Is-Back.
Lisa Scrofano's Capitol Barber has been in Babylon since 1930.
'I'm very anxious to see my clients," she said. "As far as recouping what we've lost the last three months, that won't happen."
One in three report they are currently unemployed on Long Island, praying things change next week.
Retail, in-store shopping, will open with restrictions. So too will real estate, rental, professional services, auto leasing and outdoor dining.
Companies and stores may operate at only 50% capacity, which can be done by staggering shifts.
Employees must wear masks and be tested every two weeks for the coronavirus.
There is a lot of pressure on New York State to speed things up.
"I believe we can accelerate reopening," Nassau County Executive Laura Curran said. "We would welcome an earlier Phase 2."
"I do believe that we can start quickening it because, again, the two words: common sense," Babylon Town Supervisor Richard Schaffer said.
"I think we're ready. I think we are done with [masks]," one woman said.
But the message from health experts — wear the mask and social distance or we could see a new surge on Long Island.

How do I balance saving for the children's educations with retirement planning?
Can we afford private schools or study abroad for our children or grandchildren?
Will my kids need financial aid – and are we eligible? What about scholarships?
When is the right time to start education savings plans?
Do I need a different 529 account for each child?
What are the tax benefits of education saving plans?
You have big dreams for your kids – and their education is a big part of those dreams. Effective planning helps determine the best way to save for and pay for their schooling. Plus, it ensures education savings plans and college funds are balanced with other important financial goals (like retirement planning).
For younger children, you have the benefit of time for your college fund investments. If you start saving early, your investments can grow over a longer period of time. That's good news.
Saving for kids' educations is also a great opportunity to educate them about financial matters. As your children get older, don't miss the chance to talk to them about what they want to do in life and the financial implications of their decisions. They may be interested in a specific career or field or have their sights set on a certain type of school. Ultimately, their goals may shape your savings choices and how much you contribute each month. Education savings plans can also be useful in demonstrating the value of saving and investing to teenagers.
As college gets closer, you should find time to share the options and plans to pay for college expenses, including tuition, books, living costs, transportation and "fun" money. There is no one right answer; having children pay for some or all of their expenses through part-time work can be a great idea for some students, but focusing on schoolwork may be best for others.
It's also important to remember that retirement planning should be the top priority. Balancing college fund investments with retirement savings may take some creativity, but with the right plan, you can do both.
Automated investing solutions that are assigned to specific goals may also be part of your education savings solution.
As fiduciaries, we are 100% committed to your goals. And we often do our best work when there are competing priorities – such as education planning for children and retirement planning for parents. Our integrated, team-based approach brings together specialists in financial planning, tax planning and preparation, investment management and estate planning – so college fund and education savings plans fit within broad and holistic financial plans tailored to your unique goals and objectives. Ultimately, that means more confidence that your kids can have the education experience that's best for them, even as you keep on track with other long-term financial goals.
Contact a Truepoint Wealth advisor today to start or optimize your education savings plan.

CAUTION & CONTEXT: What Are the Chances of Georgia Turning "Blue"?
Posted in:Blog
Tags1965 Voting Rights Act, Black Reconstruction, Dr. William Boone, election 2016, GaPol, Georgia history, Georgia Politics 2016, Howard Franklin, Political Science, W.E.B. Du Bois
By Kamille D. Whittaker | kwhittaker@atlantatribune.com
What are the chances of Georgia turning "Blue" in the next election cycle? Dr. William Boone, professor of political science at Clark Atlanta University and political strategist Howard Franklin, wax political on the state of the electorate, past, present and future.
Much of what we can predict about the next couple of decades of Southern politics already has its roots in what W.E.B. Du Bois addressed so thoroughly in his text, "Black Reconstruction in America 1860-1880." The story of Reconstruction is also the story of the rise of the modern American state — and its respective political and economic consolidations for certain segments of society. If the black "worker," as Du Bois termed them, was so pivotal in forming the roots of the political landscape of the South — what is the connection between then and now?
Dr. William Boone: That is a very good starting point in terms of trying to contextualize what is happening contemporarily. The idea that African Americans have made progress in the country since Du Bois wrote that book is a flurry of fits and starts. By that, I mean there have been some tangible gains, but you have to hold in mind that there is always a tension between what it is African Americans are striving for politically, economically and even socially, and what they are pushing up against in terms of what is acceptable to those who control the levers of power in this country. What African Americans are really striving for, in a sense, alters power relationships and that is what is difficult for people to deal with in terms of trying to cede and share power. Certainly things are changing. One can point to very specific things on the political front like the 1965 Voting Rights Act. That Act, of course, was instrumental in helping to organize and mobilize black voters and also helped to increase the number of black elected officials and even some appointed officials. So successful has it been that even at its initiation, you have a great deal of pushback from southern states in particular but across the country as well. So, from 1965 to 2013, with the Shelby County, Alabama vs. Holder decision, the Voting Rights Act has been under attack because it expanded black political and electoral participation. [In that decision] the court legitimized what some southern states have argued for a number of years, at least the last 30 years: That things have changed and they are no longer villains in this whole question about registration and voting and black folk are free to vote unfettered. Similar to Reconstruction of 1877, [progress] ended, right when there was a perceived change in the political dynamics of the country. Prior to that, blacks were attempting to integrate themselves into the political system and they had marginal success, but that success was abruptly halted in 1877. So, we do see some similarities.
Let's turn to the present day. The trend toward an increasingly non-white electorate in Georgia is driven by African Americans who are eligible at higher rates than Latino Americans, vote at higher rates than Latino Americans and tend to be more solidly Democratic as well. This is in contrast to another red state in consideration such as Texas. The amount of eligible non-white voters is expected to uptick at 1 percent intervals throughout the next several election cycles — through 2032. Data suggests that the non-white eligible voter population here in Georgia is already largely politicized which suggests little room to grow, which essentially makes the white eligible voter population more of the "swing" variable. Have the effects of the demographic changes that have taken place here in Georgia and the South broadly been overstated?
Howard Franklin: Georgia's demographic changes haven't been overstated so much as the pundit class and anxious Democrats have been too eager to translate those variables into signals of impending victory. Demographers have long promised a younger, browner, and more urbanized electorate. Progressives can't take credit for these changes, but we should be proactive about harnessing the potential impacts for our party. That means focusing now on what we can — like recruiting stronger candidates and running smarter campaigns that position us to ride the wave when it does finally break.
Boone: I think there is empirical data to indicate that indeed Georgia, similar to the rest of the country, especially some southern and southeastern states, is changing demographically. So much so that you're getting some pushback in terms of legislation and in terms of the ways things are being organized. Particularly for Georgia, the Democratic Party held sway in Georgia up until about 12 years ago when you had the first election of a Republican governor in close to 150 years and since that time it's been Republican governors and legislatures, and now the state is Republican controlled. It's important to note that even when it was controlled by the Democratic Party, it was a conservative element of the Democratic Party that ran the state; not like the national Democratic Party that you assume is "liberal." Still, the Latino population and vote, although growing, is still not as significant in terms of elections as the black vote. And one more caveat is that it's not only the black vote, it's the black women's vote that is carrying the day. Black women are registered in higher numbers than black males, black female turnout is at a higher rate than black males. In terms of percentages, black female turnout is at a rate that is equal to or in some cases exceeding even white males. That element within the black voter pool is the element that is very significant, if you're going to talk about what's going to happen to the state. So the question is, who will those in power begin to cater to in attempts to maintain their power?
If we look at the 2014 mid-term elections, while many Democrats were disappointed with the outcome, it can be looked at as a continuation of partisanship trends of the last two decades. Is there anything to indicate that partisanship trends will break from their current trajectory?
Franklin: Shifting demographics offered little evidence or encouragement that Georgia would see a "blue crush" as early as 2014. Instead, pundits and pollsters almost singlehandedly convinced us to brace for a photo finish on Election Day. The leaders atop the Democratic ticket rightfully predicted that fresh, exciting candidates boasting of outsider cred could win over voters that were dissatisfied with government. That proved true for republican David Perdue in the U.S. Senate primary runoff and general elections, but it was the power of incumbency and a center-right approach to governance that kept Nathan Deal in the governor's mansion. In whatever year Georgia goes blue — and it will, someday soon — Democrats will need rely on both legs of that stool and at least one or two others.
What are the specific machinations necessary for Georgia to become a blue state? A swing state?
Boone: When you look at the last election you'll see that [Michelle] Nunn and [Jason] Carter both represented a rebirth, of sorts, of the Democratic Party in Georgia. But if you look at the data you'll see that they received their votes where you expected they'd receive them: Right here in Atlanta — where there's a concentration of blacks and Latinos, but not enough to move forward. But it did give Democrats something to organize around. I think a telling point for me was when you had five black women running for state office — which was touted as a historic first — but none of the "Georgia Five" won. The reality was that the state Democratic Party did not support them. The state superintendent race didn't win even with the support of a former state superintendent. Those women indeed received the black vote, but they could not move beyond the black vote in a significant way. So, I don't think Georgia will be blue anytime soon, I think it will be pink, a less intense red if anything, and that is because of the redistricting that's taking place and the attempts by the state to redistrict in a way that maintains Republican strength, at least through the next census.
Franklin: Progressives' best chances of winning statewide will be realized after we get more competitive in metro collar counties. Gwinnett already has a majority-minority school district, and Cobb isn't far behind. The best way to take advantage of demographic trends statewide is to prove that you can succeed at the local level. Demographics alone have not and will not be enough to turn Georgia blue — or even purple. Progressives have to run better campaigns, more consistently. That's somewhat of a chicken and egg conundrum, since electoral victories are what entice good candidates and talented operatives to take chances pursuing tough races. Unlike Florida, Ohio, or other perennially competitive states, Georgia doesn't have a continuous procession of hotly contested, well-funded federal and state elections. Democratic leaders are, right now, struggling to find a candidate for the 2016 Senate race, and in the absence of that kind of investment, we need to find other ways to help candidates broaden their prospects for higher office while helping political operatives hone new skills and strategies.

Q: Simple join gives unnecessary rows,How to get join properly with only matches in both tables Table 1
Field1 Field2
AA 20
AA 20
AB 12
AC 13

Table2
field3 field4
AA 20
AA 20
AC 13
AD 23
AW 21

output required:
newfield field2 field4
AA   20 20
AA   20 20
AC   13 13

I used:
 select field1 as newfield, t1.field2,t2.field4
      from table1 t1 join table2 t2 on t1.field1=t2.field3

This does not give the required output,Please let me know how to get the required output,Many thx in advance
I cant use distinct as I need the given output, these are not duplicates,other column values are different for these rows

A: UPDATE: OK, now I think I now what you're trying to do. You want each row in the first table to match with at most one row in the second table. If you are using MS SQL, Oracle or PostgreSQL then you can use ROW_NUMBER to uniquify your rows:
SELECT Field1 AS newfield, Field2, field4
FROM (SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY field1 ORDER BY field2) AS rn
     FROM Table1) AS T1
JOIN (SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY field3 ORDER BY field4) AS rn
     FROM Table2) AS T2
ON T1.Field1 = T2.field3 AND T1.rn = T2.rn
ORDER BY Field1

Result:
'AA', 20, 20
'AA', 20, 20
'AC', 13, 13

If you are using MySQL you can simulate ROW_NUMBER using variables:
SELECT Field1 AS newfield, Field2, field4
FROM
(SELECT
    Field1,
    Field2,
    @rn := CASE WHEN @last = Field1 THEN @rn + 1 ELSE 1 END AS rn,
    @last := Field1
FROM Table1, (SELECT @rn := 0, @last = NULL) AS vars
ORDER BY Field1) AS T1
JOIN
(SELECT
    Field3,
    Field4,
    @rn := CASE WHEN @last = Field3 THEN @rn + 1 ELSE 1 END AS rn,
    @last := Field3
FROM Table2, (SELECT @rn := 0, @last = NULL) AS vars
ORDER BY Field3) AS T2
ON T1.Field1 = T2.field3 AND T1.rn = T2.rn
ORDER BY Field1

Result:
'AA', 20, 20
'AA', 20, 20
'AC', 13, 13

A: select * from
(select field1 as newfield, t1.field2,(SELECT DISTINCT field4 from table2 t2 where t1.field1=t2.field3) as field4
      from table1 t1)
      where field4 is not null

A: I am guessing this is what you are looking for, but your data sample is too small to really tell what is going on:
select field1 as newfield, t1.field2, t2.field4
from table1 t1
inner join (
    select distinct field3, field4
    from Table2
) t2 on t1.field1 = t2.field3

Though the wearables world is largely focused on watches and headsets, Origami Labs' Orii is different — a Bluetooth ring that turns your finger into an alternative speaker and microphone for your smartphone. Debuted last year in successful Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns, the wearable is currently shipping to early backers, with wider availability expected to follow in the near future.
Originally developed to help visually impaired users with phone calls and text messages, Orii turned out to have broader applications. Using a bone conduction transducer, Orii sends audio signals through your fingertip, letting you hear phone calls and spoken text messages when you touch the soft area right outside your ear canal. When Orii is working as intended, the bone conduction transducer can enable you to hear audio more clearly in noisy environments than you would with a Bluetooth earpiece.
The ring also contains a noise-cancelling dual microphone system for calls, text message dictation, and use of your phone's digital assistant. It can vibrate to alert you to notifications and sense taps to trigger phone features. Using Bluetooth LE 4.0 and Bluetooth 3.0, it promises 1-1.5 hours of active calling use or 45-48 hours of standby between recharges. Orii also features IPX7 "splash-proof" water resistance and comes bundled with a charger and charging case.
Of course, a ring-styled wearable has its own engineering and design challenges. To properly hear the bone conduction audio, backers who have received Orii units have needed to tweak the ring's position on their index fingers, as well as learn proper finger positioning. Origami Labs is providing online Skype-based customer support to help users improve Orii's sonic performance.
Sizing is thankfully user-adjustable. Four ring sizes are included in the package, spanning U.S. finger sizes 6 to 11 and requiring a final screwdriver twist to lock in the fit. And the ring isn't exactly tiny, making users' color choice — red, grey, black, or silver — fairly important as a finger fashion statement.
Like many crowdfunded projects, Orii has fallen behind its initial early-2018 production schedule, but it's in the process of shipping units to Kickstarter backers first, with Indiegogo backers expected to follow in November. Once backer orders have been fulfilled, Orii is expected to be available for $159.
There's plenty of room to speculate on the long-term prospects for Orii and other finger-based wearables: They're certainly novel, but personal preference will determine whether you're better off housing these components in a ring or a similarly priced Bluetooth earpiece. Several companies, including Apple, have considered using ring-based wearables as Apple Watch alternatives, or to control smart TVs and other devices, but relatively few "smart rings" have actually hit the market — most notably simple NFC bands.


Lanti teachers have the privilege to nominate three students each year to join the Encore Performance Club. This select group of students will work with their private teachers to have a set-list of songs ready to perform at all times. When the studio receives a request for live performers, we'll call our every-ready Encore Performance Club for volunteers. This is truly an honor and achievement for those musicians who are committed to excellence and want the opportunity to perform whenever possible!
Once nominated, complete an application and submit it to the office manager. Applications are at the front desk. Nominations are selected in June for the following year.

The Art of the Sell — That Thing You Do trailer
These posts celebrate the movie trailers, movie posters, commercials, print ads, and other promotional material that stand as their own works of art.
For a few weeks in the late summer and early fall of 1996, nothing made me happier in a movie theater than the MPAA's green band screen giving way to the 20th Century Fox logo with the sound of a screaming audience behind it. I knew I was about to see a quartet of red-suited gents trot up a set of backstage stairs as a familiar voice instructs, "We bow, in unison…."
The theater I frequented put the trailer for That Thing You Do! in front of just about every feature during that stretch. I was only a couple years past my own tenure as a movie theater manager at the time, and I had a strong suspicion as to why the pending directorial debut of Tom Hanks was so pervasively promoted. Whoever was assembling prints for the theater loved this trailer, rightly so. There was another trailer available that took a far more conventional approach to pitching the film, sketching out the rough trajectory of the lead character's story ("Guy Patterson didn't have a perfect job…or a perfect social life….") and generally making it all look like a goofball sitcom. The trailer I saw repeatedly was bolder, smarter, better.
I don't know for certain, but I like to think the trailer I preferred was assembled according to Hanks's preferences. It's a montage built around a performance of the spectacular title song that focuses on scenes of the band playing, sprinkling in a few other telling, characteristically creative moments from the film. Only a few stray lines of dialogue come through, and there's a beautiful blithe disinterest in spelling out the plot. What the trailer does, as perfectly as any I've ever seen, is capture the spirit of the movie it's promoting.

Das Buch Youyang zazu (chinesisch 酉阳杂俎 Yǒuyáng zázǔ; "Ein bunter Teller von Geschichten von der Südseite des You-Hügels") wurde von dem chinesischen Gelehrten Duan Chengshi 段成式 (803–863) aus Zibo, Shandong in der Zeit der Tang-Dynastie verfasst.

Inhalte des Buches
Der Hauptteil (quanji) hat 20 Kapitel (juan), das Supplement (xuji) 10 Kapitel.

Darin werden Geschichten über seltsame oder kuriose Dinge berichtet, es wird aus geheimen Schriften mitgeteilt, von ungewöhnliche Begebenheiten erzählt, von Daoisten und Buddhisten, Menschen und Geistern, von schlechten und guten Omen, richtigen Voraussagen; außerdem enthält es kleine Geschichten über die verschiedensten Dinge des Alltagslebens, alles in allem ist es eine kunterbunte Mischung: eine wahre Fundgrube zu Legenden, Mythen und Märchen, Anekdoten, inoffizieller Geschichte, Sitten und Gebräuchen und Landeserzeugnissen der Südlichen und Nördlichen Dynastien und der Tang-Dynastie.

Im Folgenden können wir aus dieser bunten Vielfalt daher nur einige Punkte herausgreifen: Das Cinderella- bzw. Aschenputtel-Märchen und einige Aspekte der chinesischen Ess- und Trinkkultur.

Aschenputtel/Cinderella
Das Buch enthält in Kapitel 21 eine frühe Version des klassischen Cinderella- bzw. Aschenputtel-Märchens. Die Geschichte wurde dem Autor von einem seiner Diener erzählt, der aus dem heutigen Nanning in Guangxi stammte.

Ess- und Trinkkultur
Der Abschnitt über alkoholische Getränke und Speisen (jiushi 酒食) ist in Kapitel 7 (des Hauptteiles) enthalten. Er besteht hauptsächlich aus einigen Anekdoten über das Essen und Trinken in den Südlichen und Nördlichen Dynastien und der Tang-Dynastie und stellt über 100 Namen von im Benwei (本味)-Kapitel des Lüshi chunqiu sowie anderen Büchern enthaltenen Speisezutaten, alkoholischen Getränke, Gerichten und Gewürzen zusammen sowie die Zubereitungsmethoden von manchen Gerichten aus bereits verlorenen Büchern, wie z. B. dem Shici (食次) oder dem Shi Jing (食经).

Parallelen zu Zhang Hua
In seiner Art der Anordnung des berichteten Materials und in seinem literarischen Stil ähnelt es dem Buch Bowu zhi 博物志 (Bericht von absonderlichen Dingen) von Zhang Hua 张华 (232–300) aus der Westlichen Jin-Dynastie.

Einige Drucke und moderne chinesische Ausgaben
Inhalte des Buches sind in vielen alten Büchersammlungen enthalten, z. B. im Siku quanshu, Umfassende Sammlung von Congshu oder dem japanischen Chugoku shokkei sosho. Eine moderne Ausgabe ist 1981 im Verlag Zhonghua shuju in Peking erschienen, eine andere 2001 im Verlag Xueyuan Chubanshe, ebenfalls in Beijing.

A: Using dragtable.js solved the problem.Used following link

Two well known firearms and accessory manufactures have joined forces to create this beauty of a Proline Airsoft AEG. The full metal Defender4 Carbine licensed by LMT upgraded with the S.I.R. rail system licensed by A.R.M.S.. A Selective Integrated Rail system (S.I.R.) offers a wide variety of options to mount tactical accessories. Quick and handy flip-up iron sights are mounted on the S.I.R. Strong and well built with what is probably one of the best out-of-the-box gearboxes, heavy reinforced with 8 and 9 mm bearings, steel gears, and ball-bearing spring-guide as well as an upgraded cylinder set. It can handle Li-Po batteries and shoots 1.5 joule (120m/s/394 fps) in semi- and full-auto mode with Easily adjustable Hop-Up.


They cannot work any harder as the are stretched to the limits everyday.Unfortunately there is a lot of ignorance and lack of understanding by people of how difficult it can be for nurses and other medical professionals working in our hospitals at present.A great example of that was shown by our Taoiseach recently when he made his stupid statement about Christmas being the peak time in Hospitals and therefore no staff should be allowed annual leave at that time.Its peak time at all times of year in our hospitals.
You'd think they work 168 hours with the way some of them go on.
When are nurses not looking for a pay rise.
The frontline staff,nurses on the wards ,are dwindling by the month.
The money is wasted on so called "managers" who do sweet FA,and you know what, there are more and more of these wasters appearing in hospitals everyday and are eating up the HSE budget.Its time to sit down and take a long hard luck at the work load the frontline staff do and those that twiddle their thumbs in offices in the health service every day........AND GET PAID FOR IT!
FCUK THE LOT OF THEM OUT,pay the frontline staff and see how quickly we get back to a system that actually cares and caters for the patients.So called "managers" couldnt manage a piss up in a brewery.
As I said in another post here the ignorance and lack of understanding by people on the outside who have never experienced working life inside a hospital.

The reason that complaints of conditions are being tied into a pay rise is we cannot keep nursing staff in Ireland due to crap pay. Nurses go off elsewhere to earn more and cannot be blamed for that... that means less nurses which in turn means worse conditions and poorer care which leads to even less nurses.
In my opinion, people who think nurses don't deserve more either don't know how much they actually come out with a month for the work they put in or they have never had to sit and watch what a nurse actually has to do.... many people walk up to a nurses station and assume nurses are sitting doing nothing and unfortunately that is generally so far from the truth. The amount of documentation alone and lack of time to adequately fill it in is extremely difficult.
Nurses are the only healthcare professional that is present 24/7. (13 hour shifts, 7 night shifts in a row, 1 free day worked a month etc). Yes doctors are on call in acute hospitals and care assistants who are amazing are being pulled away from patient care to do other tasks... nurses are the ones that tie the rest of the healthcare teams plans together to make their own plans. A typical day for a nurse 15 years ago was filled moreso with patient care than what it is now..... now it's scrimping for staff, trying to manage everyone in an effective and safe way and watching your nursing pin as best you can knowing that any day you walk in you could lose it due to lack of patient safety because of staff shortages and an increase in documentation.
A friend of mine earned more working in the canteen in one of the hospitals in Cork when she was training to be a Nurse, than in her first year as a qualified Nurse in the same hospital.
That pushed her to move to Australia..
But surely they know the pay conditions before taking up nursing?
They should be forced to work a set number of years in Ireland if they do courses subsidized by the tax payer.
This idea of getting the degree here then moving to another country is bonkers.
Is they pay for it themselves then they can do what they want.
As students, they subsidise the system by working their placements without pay.
Move the training from the classroom back on to the wards, changing nursing to a 4 year degree was a mistake. In 2004 70% of nurses were emigrating.
"Nurse training is being turned on its head," says Seamus Cowman, professor of nursing in the Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery at the RCSI. "For the first time, nurses will be graduates and will have graduate status," he says. "We'll be the envy of Europe. This is a huge investment in nursing."
I think if you compare nurses to other PS workers they are underpaid. They are paid less than primary teachers, physios, dietitians, OTs and I would guess their job is more demanding. There's also a massive shortage of nurses.
It's a very difficult job. It's physically demanding and there is risk of mistakes which can have massive consequences. People don't respect nurses qualifications and intelligence at all.
I know of two nurses in CUH who did all the Twitter posting of #imworkingleo etc and long Facebook rants. Only for the man to arrive in on Christmas Day and they queued to get a selfie and didn't say a word. Surely if it upset them so much they would have mentioned it.
Nurses will get a rise but if they do it will only open the floodgates.

You should have been around in the 70s' and 80s'. Then you'd know about strikes!!
The waste in the HSE is phenomenal. Quite apart from having too many non-medical staff or medical staff redeployed as Managers the waste on buildings, suppliers, agencies etc is phenomenal. A local one to me that recently popped up was the HSE Community Health Stores moving from Wilton, where they own the building, to Model Farm Road, where they're leasing a building. The original building is lying empty since. I'm sure everyone working within the HSE could point to a mulitude of examples. Cut all these and the Nurses could be comfortably paid more.
Have a read of this report on an HSE Audit from the Irish Examiner last year. Eye opening. Highlights would be paying an agency €14,000 for an on call consultant - for one week , external storage costs for Galway rising from €7k to €800k from 2008 to 2016 and a recruitment company paid €20k+ in Kerry for the appointment of a consultant - who was already an employee !! Plenty more there to to explain where the money is going but this is still only the tip of the iceberg.
How much do you put on your life? Your family's? Loved ones? You want the best healthcare and you want it now, but you don't think you should pay too much for it?
How much is too much? €30K? €60K? €100K? How much did the politicians pay rise pay themselves recently because they think they are doing such a good job?
Was the pay restoration not promised to the nurses? Did they get it? Did the politicians get theirs?
How much of the current crisis in the health care is the governments fault? How much of it is down to the austerity measures implemented 10 years ago? The pay freeze. The levies and charged? The recruitment ban? All the money spent on agency nurses?
Do you want nurses to work 50? 60? Hours per week? Do you want to be treated by someone who's worked that many hours in a high pressure situation when your life depends on it?
Do you even know what's it like being in nurse in a hospital in Ireland?
If they do get their pay rise, they deserve every single cent of it.
It's a pity they have to go on strike for it. What was promised to them. And frankly what they deserve.

How can the music industry inform the system of K-12 education?
The history of the music industry parallels that of many industries and institutions in the U.S. Many, that is, except for education.

JOHN HARDIN: As we think about how do we transform education in a way that is going to enable every kid to realize their full potential, I think there's actually a lot that we can learn from the music industry. If you're in the early twentieth century, and there's a song that you want to hear, your best bet is to turn on the radio and listen to the radio and hope that your song comes on. Now, you have some choice in the different stations, but for the most part, there's not a lot of optionality there, and you're just hoping your song comes because music was bundled together in this sort of singular distribution system.
That changed in the 1940s because RCA created something called the 45. And you could now buy a 45 and get the song that you wanted to hear on the A side. The B side was probably not a very good song, but you could get what you wanted to hear on the A side because music was now being unbundled. They were taking this structure and pulling apart into its individual parts. But then the record companies began to really focus on producing LPs or long-playing albums. So again, they're bundling music together. You can still get the song you want, but you're probably going to get 12 or 15 other songs. The compact disc industry is built on that. And then along come mp3s, and music is unbundled again. Now you can get the specific song that you want to hear. And then music service providers come along and they bundle music together in new and different ways so that you can get the song you want, and it's also probably going to be paired with other songs that you would really like and enjoy.
So, what in the world does that have to do with education? Well, as you look across our society you can see how innovation and progress -- whether it's in music or news or television or even work -- these changes take place in this cycle of bundling and unbundling. And yet that hasn't happened in education. In the late nineteenth century, we basically bundled education together in this singular distribution system that we all know as sort of school and going to school and that's the way we learn. So, the challenge for us now is how do we encourage, how do we equip educators to unbundle it. To rebundle it in different ways. To take new approaches so that education isn't just something that you're doing in the classroom. It may not happen in the classroom. It could happen anywhere. That's the thing. It's like this whole sort of wild, wild west of opportunities.
What we're doing is, we are reforming on the edges of a system that was really introduced in the late nineteenth century that remains very sort of producer, top-down oriented as opposed to very individual kid, personalized oriented. And so, what we're doing is inviting people to consider that question. What would it take? What does it look like for us to begin with the kids themselves? So, I think it's interesting to look at this on sort of the backdrop of an important transition that happened in the twentieth century in America. If you step into the twentieth century in 1900 in the United States, you are stepping into a producer-oriented society. And what I mean by that is that the producers were creating the goods, the services in the institutions based primarily on their preferences. So, you take the Ford automotive company. Henry Ford is attributed with saying you can have any color Model T you want as long as it's black. Or if you wanted a Coca Cola it comes in one size and it comes in one flavor. So, there wasn't a lot of meaningful choice available. But what if you wanted a red Model T or you wanted a sports car or you wanted a truck or you wanted a big Coke or a tiny Coke or you want a Coke Zero or a Diet Coke or a Cherry Coke. Those options are now available because we had this transition in the twentieth century from a producer orientation more to an individual or personalized orientation. And that's a big deal because what that does for all of us is it opens up all of these opportunities for us to find greater fulfillment. Because now you can get what best fits you, not what best fits Henry Ford or whomever it was that produced it. And you see that across the twentieth century across the United States in many different sectors of society.
Where you don't really see it is in education. Education today remains a producer-oriented institution. We take kids who are all phenomenally different in their interests, their aptitudes, their skills, and we press them into a uniform system that is not personalized toward them but is more producer focused, producer oriented. And what's the result? Well Gallup did a study and found that 25 percent of fifth graders are disinterested in education. By the time students are in twelfth grade, they found two-thirds of them are disinterested in education. And you can't really blame them because education is not being personalized to them. It's not relevant to them. They don't see the connection. They don't see how it's valuable. What does this mean for me? How is it that we can bring about that transition in education? That transition that we've seen across our society where we are going to focus more on the kid who is standing in front of that teacher, sitting in front of that teacher instead of the formula or the system that's being pressed down by the producer.

ATF Operation Veers into Human Trafficking and Naked Detective's Massage
By Les Zaitz
PORTLAND, Ore. — A police operation meant to protect girls working for a pimp ended with an 18-year-old woman partially stripped, talking sex while massaging a naked police detective in a hotel room.
The 2011 episode in a Vancouver, Wash., hotel was an odd conclusion to a long undercover operation run by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The agency for months bought guns and drugs through a phony store in Gresham.
Prostitution wasn't a target of "Operation Kraken" because ATF doesn't investigate human trafficking. But federal agents opened the case even as they shut down the eight-month undercover operation.

Four People Arrested, Questioned Over Possible Connection to Actor Philip Seymour Hoffman's Death
Authorities may be closer to finding the source of the heroin that is believed to have killed 46-year-old actor Philip Seymour Hoffman.
The USA Today reports that authorities arrested four people in Manhattan on Tuesday evening and were questioning them over possible connections to the actor's death Sunday.
The suspects were found with 350 bags of heroin, police said.
Hoffman was found dead in his apartment with a syringe in his arm.

FBI Rescues 16 Juveniles, More Than 50 Adults Forced into Prostitution for Super Bowl
FBI agents rescued 16 juveniles who were forced into prostitution for the Super Bowl in the New York City area, the Associated Press reports.
The children, who ranged in age from 13 to 17, were found in Newark, New York City and New Haven.
At least one of the victims had spent two years with her pimp, the AP wrote.
Agents also rescued more than 50 adult women who also were forced into prostitution.
Big events like the Super Bowl are lucrative for people involved in the sex trade, the AP reported.

FBI Helps Investigate Tutor Accused of Teaching Students to Change Grades
Private tutor Timothy Lance Lai sure knew how to boost students' grades.
Police says he's the mastermind behind a cheating scandal at a Newport Beach high school where 11 students have been expelled for changing their grades by hacking into the district computer system, the L.A. Times reports.
Now local police want the FBI's help investigating the 28-year-old tutor, who has not yet been located.
Electronic evidence has been turned over to agents in Orange County, the L.A. Times wrote.

NSA's Widespread Surveillance Even Includes Members of Congress, Their Staff Members
Not even members of Congress are immune to the NSA's wide surveillance reach.
During a House Judiciary Committee meeting Tuesday, Deputy Attorney General James Cole admitted that the NSA "probably" collects phone records of lawmakers and their staff, the National Journal reports.
But Justice Department official said the information isn't used without a reason to search.
"We're not allowed to look at any of those, however, unless we have reasonable, articulable suspicion that those numbers are related to a known terrorist threat," Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said.

Details Emerge in Death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, Whose Attack Revealed 'Fast & Furious' Controversy
Brian Terry
Details of the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry near the Arizona-Mexico border in 2010 were largely unknown – until now.
The Associated Press reports that armed men had sneaked into the U.S. to rob marijuana smugglers when the attack happened, according to an account given by prosecutors.
Watching the men from atop a small hill using night-vision gear, agents waited until the men got closer before yelling "police" in Spanish. The gunman opened fire, killing Terry.
"I'm hit," Terry said, adding he couldn't feel his legs.
Terry's death revealed the government's botched "Fast and Furious" gun-smuggling operation.

Marijuana Use Among American Teens on the Rise
By Ross Parker
The use of marijuana by American teens continues to increase. Unlike use of other drugs and alcohol, which are either decreasing or remaining stable, the use by 8th and 10th graders went up 1.3 and 1.8 % in 2013, according to the Monitoring the Future study conducted by the University of Michigan of 40,000 to 50,000 teen agers in 389 private and public secondary schools.
Even more important than this result is the sharp decline among teens in the perception that marijuana use is risky. During the preceding eight years the percentage of 8th, 10th, and 12th graders who see great risk from regular pot use has gone down from 74 to 61%, 66 to 47%, and 58 to 40%, respectively.
Another significant finding is that, during the years 2012 and 2013 in states where medical marijuana is legal, one-third of the 12th grade users say that one of their sources is another person's medical marijuana prescription.
The most encouraging result of the study is that the use of "synthetic" marijuana is decreasing significantly, and the use of bath salts remains stable at a relatively low level. Moreover, teens increasingly report that the risk of these synthetics is great. This result seems to credit the work of DEA, local law enforcement and other sources to publicize the significant dangers of these drugs, as well as the speedy scheduling and aggressive enforcement activity.
Drug use in decline among teens include: narcotics (other than heroin), OxyContin, Vicodin, and most hallucinogens. Alcohol use is also down, the lowest in over two decades. Drugs that are essentially stable in use include: heroin, LSD, amphetamines, Adderall, methamphetamine, Ketamines and steroids.
The study was funded by research grants from the National Institute of Drug Abuse, part of the National Institutes of Health. It was conducted by research professors at the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research. 2013 was the 39th year that the study has been conducted. The results will be published in a volume of Monitoring the Future National Results on Adolescent Drug Use later this year.

During this first month, our poll about The Best Diva Ever got 84 voters with a total of 2377 votes.
This list shows that our readers are really aware of the right concept of Music Divas. All the winners have a long career behind and are cult artists.
Donna Summer has been chosen as the biggest Diva ever. The queen of disco has surprised me with this position. Donna has been eliminated is the second round of our previous poll: Divas battle. Apparently, being dead still gives some "valor" and recognition to artists.
Olivia Newton-John being chosen as the best Diva ever was even a bigger surprise! I love Olivia, always did. This position is more than deserved. Livvy is still active and innovating.
Madonna was chosen as the third best music Diva ever. This was a surprise too, because i was really thinking that she would be number one! Madonna has been part of my life.
Australian Diva Kylie Minogue has been classified as the fourth music Diva ever. Kylie remains a classic as far as pop music is concerned. Along with fellow Aussie Olivia Newton-John she is regarded as a survivor.
Cher. A simple word that is immediately associated to one of the best artists ever. Cher has been chosen as the fifth best music Diva ever. This didn't surprise me.
The late Whitney Houston has been chosen as the sixth best Diva ever. Whitney is considered as one of the best female singers ever and she is awfully missed.
Diana Ross has been awarded as the seventh best music Diva ever. La Boss has recently completed 71! She opened the path to ladies like Beyonce and she is one of the biggest starts alive.
Annie Lennox has achieved the eight place as the best music Diva ever. Annie has the looks, the voice, the talent and the goats to be herself.
Miss Bette Midler is a legend a one woman show. I wasn't expecting her to be classified as the 9th best Diva ever. In fact, I don't think she should be even in the top 20! Even so, I have to recognize that a song like "The Rose" makes a career.
Miss Hot Legs was chosen as the 10th best Music ever. Tina Turner has been part of my life too and I think she should be positioned in second position.
These were the results for the month of March 2015. Keep voting; keep putting your ups and downs. Results are updated every time you do it!


As one of the few manufacturers of luminaires we offer the possibility of producing atypical luminaires even in smaller series. Most often, it is necessary to adjust the dimensions and shapes of the luminaires into the ceiling because there are a large number of manufacturers of ceiling systems on the market and not everyone adapts to the standard dimensions of the luminaires.
Luminaires in atypical dimensions will be produced according to your sketch or drawing or send us the type of ceiling and we will adjust the size of our luminaire.
We are able to adapt the luminaires for connection to the air conditioning system. This requirement arises mostly in designing offices where there is no space for separate air outlets in the ceiling, or there is no aesthetic need to be there. There are several ways to solve the problem.
The easiest is to add holes in the back of the luminaire and allow the air to flow through the louvre. Alternatively, the air holes can be drawn along the lamp outside of the optical section.
An advanced option is the construction of luminaire with circular tube fitting for air ducts.
Access to the luminiare from the top above the ceiling is required mostly in clean rooms where it is impossible to service the luminaires normally from the room. This option is available on request for most luminaires for false ceilings . Prior to ordering, any technical requirements should be consulted.
For cases where fluorescent lamps are still in good condition or recently installed, we offer a practical LED retrofits to save the cost of lighting. This is a steel sheet reinforced base with magnets on the underside. On the top side are replaceable LED panels together with ballast and terminal block for connection. Retrofit is simply installed in the fluorescent lamp by simply plugging it in with the magnets and by connecting it to the original terminal strip of the luminaire.
Dimensions of retrofit are adjusted according to the original luminaires and we also try to place the terminal block in the most suitable place for easy connection.
The Best Clean and LOS + GLASS luminaires can be manufactured with an optical grid that allows you to change the light characteristics – they tilt to the sides.
By tilting the individual grids in the luminaire, you can change the light characteristics of the luminaire to better illuminate places that would otherwise remain poorly illuminated. It is mainly used in operating rooms where the luminaire can not be directly above the table.
If you are interested in this adjustment, please contact us to arrange details.

But here's Park Haejin for High Cut, shot back when he was being used to promote Cheese. Now that's more Yoo Jung sunbae than we've seen in Cheese.

@thekindafitchick Inspired this post. Each day is a struggle for me. Some days I can smile through and push through. Some days it's hard for me to get up and function. Sometimes, I can't do the things I want to do because of physical limitations. I have various health issues BUT I am not letting them get in the way of my overall health and wellness goals! I may have to modify things, but that is OKAY! I am committed to working out as consistently as my body allows. I'm not working out for abs, I'm not working out to get the most toned body, I'm not working out to have the biggest muscles, but I'm working out to keep me moving forward in my efforts of taking care of myself. I'm working on self love. I am worthy of being taken care of. I am good enough to share this gift I have with everyone. Life pulls at us all and sometimes we're stretched thin, but in all the craziness trust that you and I are always worth loving…even if you're the only one cheerleading for yourself. YOU DESERVE IT.

At Chamberlins we believe you should obtain legal advice as soon as possible if your relationship has broken down. There are many issues to consider including advice about any children of the relationship and/or property and other assets.
It is important for children that they are kept out of disputes between adults as much as possible. The children have a right to see the parent that does not live with them on a regular basis, and this should include overnight contact.
If you are not married you do not have an automatic right to a share of the assets accumulated during the relationship, unless you can prove the asset is a joint one. For example if the home is in the sole name of your partner that person can sell the property and keep all of the money received, unless you get a court order saying otherwise.
Legal Aid is not available for situations of relationship breakdown unless there has been Domestic Violence within the last 24 months, and you meet the financial limitations.

New York Jets legend Joe Namath fires up MetLife Stadium at halftime (Video)
(Photo by Rich Graessle/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images)
New York Jets legend Joe Namath fired up the MetLife Stadium crowd during halftime of his team's impressive victory over the Colts.
The New York Jets against the Indianapolis Colts. The New York Jets against the Baltimore Colts. That's more like it.
During halftime of the Jets impressive 42-34 victory over Andrew Luck's Colts on Sunday, Joe Namath and his Super Bowl 3 championship teammates were in the MetLife Stadium house to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the biggest day in AFL history.
#Jets honor '68 team with banner in upper deck at MetLife Stadium. Also, Joe Namath addresses the crowd: pic.twitter.com/nRCcEZSJo0
— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) October 14, 2018
In addition to speaking about his boys from 50 years ago, Namath spurred on the current fans with a critical line about the 2018 version.
"Believe this … the team today, that you have here, the current Jets, can beat anybody, anytime. You gotta believe that, they gotta believe that, and you can get it done again."
"J-E-T-S Jets, Jets, Jets."
Whether the speech worked or not, we'll never know. The results were pretty phenomenal, to say the least.
Up 23-13 at the time of Namath's speech, Sam Darnold and company rallied for 19 more points in the second half to finish off the Colts (of Indy) by the final of 42-34—a score that didn't serve the blowout of a game justice (as a late Colts TD inched it to just one possession).
Speaking of Namath's position, Darnold took another step in maturity. He was picked on a terrible throw and decision early, but rebounded to finish with 280 yards and two scores through the air on 24-of-30 passing.
Next up for Joe Namath's organization will be the Minnesota Vikings in the swamp of New Jersey next Sunday.

Are you looking to start a new job for the upcoming year? Or are you just about to start applying for your first job? I am so excited to be sharing with you today how I revamped my old nursing resume with the help of Amanda, from @theresumerx, and her brilliant resume templates.
Why did I decide to go with a nursing resume template?
Finding a job is already enough stress. Why should you add more from trying to create a resume from scratch? Managers and recruiters field multiple resumes a day and you need yours to stand out. Amanda created such clean, well-organized resumes that are truly professional. Thus, why not go with something that is an easy fill-in template and works.
I remember back in 2016, when I was graduating from nursing school, that I used to spend hours searching through Pinterest at all the different resume templates. It was overwhelming and looking back at it now, over cluttered.
If you are looking for a new resume, I highly suggest you check her out at theresumerx.com. I received an interview just 3 hours after submitting my resume using her template.
ONE// Be sure to include a cover letter. I know that they can seem outdated and repetitive, but it is the first opportunity that you have to sell yourself. Essentially you are showing how you can make their job easier. Really try and narrow down 2-3 accomplishments/strengths you can talk about that really fit this job. Also, try and include the hospital's mission statement and values.
TWO// Rather than just listing your job responsibilities, write down your accomplishments. For example, I was a floor nurse on a medical oncology floor and could have written about how I handled patient-centered care while advocating for my patient to other healthcare professions. Instead, I wrote about how I was involved in my wound care team and how I became a preceptor for my floor from my leadership skills.
THREE// Have no previous nursing experience? Be sure to highlight any opportunities you had during clinical rotations or student activities you were involved in. Had a job that was not necessarily relevant to the medical field? Then highlight any leadership spots you were in, or if you helped create something new, and how it helped build your communication/ problem-solving skills.
There you have it friends! Three simple tips to help set your resume apart from the rest. I hope you enjoyed these.
