In a since-deleted post on his Instagram story, Cal junior receiver Jordan Duncan announced that he has had surgery to address an undisclosed injury. Last weekend, Duncan left Cal's 24-17 loss to Arizona in the second half.
Duncan currently leads the Bears offense with three touchdown receptions, including two against Idaho State on Sept. 15. He is third on the team in receiving yards with 175 and has averaged a robust 12.5 yards per catch.
Last season, Duncan recorded 10 catches for 120 yards, catching a touchdown pass in Cal's opening win on the road against UNC. With Duncan likely sidelined for the foreseeable future, transfer Moe Ways is expected to get the start Saturday against UCLA. Ways caught eight passes for a career-high 94 yards against the Wildcats.

VideoMorrison has contacted tech leaders in a call for better regulations regarding hate speech posting on social media platforms.
Social media behemoth Facebook still has questions to answer about the live streaming of the horrific shootings in Christchurch on its platform last week, according to Federal Attorney General Christian Porter.
Mr Porter said the issue of removing live streams was being considered but would not say if there would be a legislative response from the Government.
"The Government is considering the issue itself and it's not an uncomplicated issue, whether or not you would think of a legislative response, the Prime Minister has obviously announced an international response around these organisations, but obviously we are considering the issue," he said.
Facebook has been criticised over the past few days for how it handled the mass shooting which was streamed and shared on its platform.
The Attorney-General said there were questions all Australians would legitimately ask and would expect answers from the social media company on.
"The fundamental question that all Australians will of course be asking themselves is whether it is an appropriate thing to have a profitable large multinational organisation and platform streaming that type of vision once it has become known that it is occurring," he said.
"I would say they have not answered that question in anything like a satisfactory matter, again this is a very long piece of streamed video and it was well known by virtue of other social media services which feed into mainstream media that this was happening and that was known fairly early in the live streaming process.

WbAfter reading thoroughly and giving necessary advices, herewith, as the advisors, we state that the thesis of: Name : Tri Katerini SRN : 143221006Title : THE EFFECTIVENESS OF GOOGLE VOICE SEARCH FOR TEACHING PRONUNCIATION AT THE FIRST GRADE OF SMK ADI SUMARMO COLOMADU IN has already fulfilled the requirements to be presented before The Board of Examiners (munaqosyah) to gain Undergraduate Degree in English EducationDepartment. The purpose of this research is to find out the effectiveness of Google Voice Search for teaching pronunciation at the first grade of SMK Adi Sumarmo Colomadu in academic year of 2017/2018 .
The researcheroptimally conducted my own research study requirement of this collage, some parts of which taken part of references and suggestion as the guidance for thetechnical writing of the research study. The purpose of this research is to find out the effectiveness of Google Voice Search for teaching pronunciation at the first grade of SMK Adi Sumarmo Colomadu in academic year of 2017/2018 .
Kshama et al (2017:416) defined that Google voice search is an application which is used for in android phones that helps the enduser to communicate end user to mobile with voice and it also responds to the voice commands of the user. SMK Adi Sumarmo Colomadu is a Based from the explanation above, the researcher want to conduct a research about the effectiveness of Google voice search as the media for teachingand learning English pronunciation entitle "The Effectiveness of Google VoiceSearch for Teaching Pronunciation at the First Grade of SMK Adi Sumarmo Colomadu in Academic Year of 2017/2018".
Based on the observation of teaching and learning pronunciation at the first grade of SMK Adi Sumarmo Colomadu, the researcher involve theidentification of the problem are: 1. Some students find difficulties to pronounce some words because they do not understand how to pronounce the words.
This research investigates the pronunciation of students in teaching and learning English through Google voice search at the first grade students of SMKAdi Sumarmo Colomadu in the academic year 2017/2018. This research uses D.
Based on the background of study above, the statement of problem can be formulated as; is Google Voice Search effective for teaching pronunciation atthe first grade of SMK Adi Sumarmo Colomadu in the academic year of2017/2018? Objective of the StudyBased on the research statement, this particular study aimed at finding out the effectiveness of using Google voice search toward English pronunciationat the first grade of SMK Adi Sumarmo Colomadu in the academic year of 2017/2018.
There are alsopsychological factors that affect the learning of pronunciation in ways In other words, teachers and students can overcome the frustrations, difficulties, and boredom often associated withpronunciation by focusing their attention on the development of pronunciation that is "listener friendly." After all, English pronunciationdoes not amount to mastery of a list of sounds or isolated words. The teacher can drill thisutterance chorally and individually, (4) the teacher can also ask students to listen for the odd one out among a list of words that theyhave provided (Kelly, 2000:18).6) Pronunciation and spelling activities: it makes sense to tie pronunciation work closely in with spelling work, in order toinvestigate the different ways in which sounds can be represented on the page.
2) Make variable by clicking tab variable view.3) Write the name of column in first line y and the second line is x.4) Write the name of label in first line control and the second line is experiment. 5) Change the column of decimals column becomes 0.6) Write the label column in first line is Control and second line is Experiment, as follow: Figure 3.8 The Variable View in SPSS 7) Open data view, input the data in the variable.
From the table above, it shows that the significance of pre-test experiment class is 0.169, and the significance of post-test experiment class is 0.474, the significance of pre-test control class is0.468, and the post-test control class result is 0.390. To the TeacherBased on the result of this research, English teachers of SMK Adi Sumarmo are suggested to use Google Voice Search application to facilitate teaching pronunciation since it has proven that Google VoiceSearch is effective to practice the students' pronunciation.
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF GOOGLE VOICE SEARCH FOR..


Let's discuss activity based costing by looking at two products manufactured by the same company. Product 124 is a low volume item which requires certain activities such as special engineering, additional testing, and many machine setups because it is ordered in small quantities. A similar product, Product 366, is a high volume product--running continuously--and requires little attention and no special activities. If this company used traditional costing, it might allocate or "spread" all of its overhead to products based on the number of machine hours. This will result in little overhead cost allocated to Product 124, because it did not have many machine hours. However, it did demand lots of engineering, testing, and setup activities. In contrast, Product 366 will be allocated an enormous amount of overhead (due to all those machine hours), but it demanded little overhead activity. The result will be a miscalculation of each product's true cost of manufacturing overhead. Activity based costing will overcome this shortcoming by assigning overhead on more than the one activity, running the machine.
Activity based costing recognizes that the special engineering, special testing, machine setups, and others are activities that cause costs-they cause the company to consume resources. Under ABC, the company will calculate the cost of the resources used in each of these activities. Next, the cost of each of these activities will be assigned only to the products that demanded the activities. In our example, Product 124 will be assigned some of the company's costs of special engineering, special testing, and machine setup. Other products that use any of these activities will also be assigned some of their costs. Product 366 will not be assigned any cost of special engineering or special testing, and it will be assigned only a small amount of machine setup.
We will assume that a company has annual manufacturing overhead costs of $2,000,000â?"of which $200,000 is directly involved in setting up the production machines. During the year the company expects to perform 400 machine setups. Let's also assume that the batch sizes vary considerably, but the setup efforts for each machine are similar.
As the tables above illustrate, with activity based costing the cost per unit decreases from $0.46 to $0.37 because the cost of the setup activity is spread over 50,000 units instead of 5,000 units. Without ABC, the cost per unit is $0.40 regardless of the number of units in each batch. If companies base their selling prices on costs, a company not using an ABC approach might lose the large batch work to a competitor who bids a lower price based on the lower, more accurate overhead cost of $0.37. Its also possible that a company not using ABC may find itself being the low bidder for manufacturing small batches of product, since its $0.40 is lower than the ABC model of $0.46 for a batch size of 5,000 units. With its bid price based on manufacturing overhead of $0.40 but a true cost of $0.46 the company may end up doing lots of production for little or no profit.
Why is the cost of setting up a production machine so expensive? What can be done to reduce the setup cost? If the setup costs cannot be reduced, are the selling prices adequate to cover all of the companys costs including the setup cost that was previously buried in the overall machine-hour overhead rate?
Elaborate your solution describing how Activity Based Costing can benefit companies. You may wish to give an example of a company where activity based costing could be applied. Describe in detail how this company could benefit from Activity based costing.
Explain why the inclusion of fixed costs in the product will lead to poor internal decision making.
Activity-Based Costing (ABC) is a costing method that identifies activities in an organization and assigns the cost of each activity to products and services according to the actual consumption by each in order to arrive at the actual cost of products and services.
In Activity based costing costs of all organization's resources are assigned to the products and services that the organization manufacture/render. The main intention behind the assignment of resource cost to the product/services is to find out the cost of the product and the resultant profitability.
The main purpose of Activity Bases costing is the elimination of unprofitable activities in the organization. Further, to identify the overpriced activities in order to lower the prices of those activities. It is generally used as a tool for understanding product and customer cost and profitability. As such, ABC has predominantly been used to support strategic decisions such as pricing, outsourcing and identification and measurement of process improvement initiatives.
Following are the steps to be followed in ABC.
1. Identify cause and effect relationships of all the activities to assign costs to the activities.
2. Costs of the activities are to be computed.
3. Then the cost of each activity is assigned to each product/service to the extent that the product/service uses the activity.
4. Then the products with high overhead costs are to be identified and the efforts need to be made to reduce the costs of the costs.
1.	Traditional costing does not show the cause of arisen costs. However, in ABC costing the each transaction is coded and cost can be easily controlled by tracing the excess cost to the activities involved. Therefore, organization should have sound coding system to allocate the costs to the resources in ABC costing.
2.	ABC provides a system to allocate costs more accurately when overhead costs are not incurred at the same rate as direct labor dollars. The more activities identified the more complex the costing system becomes. Therefore, the organization should have the computer system to manage ABC costing and should limit the number of activities to the manageable extent. ABC provides a more accurate estimate of costs for use in making management decisions than the overhead cost system.

Nationalist: Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti The Radically Progressive Twentieth-Century Leader
Farida Funmi Akanji April 13, 2022 April/May 2022Editors Picks: Independence DayGenderNigeria
Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti achieved goals that, during her time, society kept out of women's reach. Often understated today as the first woman to drive a car in Nigeria, Ransome-Kuti's achievements were exceptional, multi-faceted and far-reaching.
Africa's achievements in gaining independence and institutionalizing proper constitutions, human rights, law and order, and democracy—key elements of social progress—were enabled by the tireless efforts of people who challenged the status quo. Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, who died today in 1978, was one of such people. Her courage, determination and commitment to women and humanity at large made her a symbol of radically progressive twentieth-century leadership.
NO LONGER AT EASE

Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti was born on 02 October 1900 in Abeokuta, present-day Ogun State. In 1914, she attended Abeokuta Grammar School and, in 1919, she left Nigeria for England, where she continued her education at Wincham Hall School for Girls. Three years later, in 1922, Ransome-Kuti returned to Nigeria. A year after she returned, she took up a teaching position at Abeokuta Grammar School, and taught there from 1923 to 1924.
Ransome-Kuti achieved goals that, during her time, society kept out of women's reach. She was the first female student to be admitted into Abeokuta Grammar School, an achievement that, no doubt, was foundational to her life of ushering change into many spheres. Often understated today as the first woman to drive a car in Nigeria, her achievements were exceptional, multi-faceted, far-reaching and deserve further study.
Ransome-Kuti founded the Abeokuta Women's Union, one of the 20th century's most important social organizations, and was closely linked to the Nigerian Union of Teachers and the West African Students' Union—two of the most important anti-colonial movements in Nigeria and West Africa.
HISTORY LESSON: SECOND-CLASS CITIZEN? NO!

In 1932, Ransome-Kuti established the Abeokuta Ladies Club and by 1940, through the club, she organized literacy classes for market women in Abeokuta. These classes have been described as the first adult education programme for Nigerian women. Moreover, her engagement with market women exposed Ransome-Kuti to the exploitative nature of the colonial government and served as one of the driving forces of her political awakening.
Ransome-Kuti would eventually lead campaigns against the colonial government's exploitation of market women. Nigeria was colonized by Britain and the colonial government had disrupted pre-existing economic and social settings, designing a new political economy that was alien to the society and more profitable to the British. These disruptions included taxes, which, at first, only men paid because the colonial government considered women to be a measure of male wealth.
After World War II (1939-1945), having been perceived to be prosperous as a result of a thriving, predominantly female indigo dye industry, not only did women in the southwest pay taxes, the British government imposed a tax increase on them. Led by Ransome-Kuti, women in Abeokuta organized against the increase.
In 1946, broadening its focus from only middle-class women to women from all walks of life, the Abeokuta Ladies Club became the Abeokuta Women's Union (AWU) with a membership of around 20,000. In 1947, Abeokuta women staged a revolt against the tax increase so powerful it 'toppled the king of Abeokuta and changed British policy, triggering a "radical transformation of the political structure in Abeokuta" and women's politics more broadly.'
A WOMAN OF THE PEOPLE

The Abeokuta women's tax revolt of 1947 propelled Ransome-Kuti to nationwide and international acclaim. That year, she was the only woman in Nigeria's delegation to London, where political figures lobbied for Nigeria's self-government. Similarly, the AWU's scope, which had been to maintain unity and cooperation among all women in Egbaland, broadened beyond Egbaland. In 1949, the AWU became the Nigerian Women's Union (NWU), evolving into the Federation of Nigerian Women's Societies (FNWS) in 1953.
Ransome-Kuti was a key supporter of the establishment of nationalist political party, the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC), in 1944. By the 1950s, she delved further into politics by contesting for the regional assembly under the NCNC, and later became one of the few women to be an Oloye in the House of Chiefs (an institution that was part of the law-making system).
A HEAD ABOVE WATER

Ransome-Kuti's achievements included: membership in the Order of the Niger in 1965; and an honorary doctorate in Law from the University of Ibadan in 1968. Beyond Nigeria, Ransome-Kuti had links with women's organizations in Ghana, Algeria and Egypt. In 1953, she was elected vice-president of the Women's International Democratic Federation. She was the first Nigerian representative at the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and was also awarded the Lenin Peace Prize in 1970—pointers to her leftist ideological inclinations.
Ransome-Kuti died in 1978, from injuries she had gotten the previous year, when, under a repressive military government, soldiers raided her family's home in Lagos and threw her out of a second-storey window. Today, there is a tendency to downplay the historical contributions of African women including Ransome-Kuti, whose achievements many have attempted to domesticate (as either a mother or an aunt). Ransome-Kuti's contribution to Nigeria's independence movement was, however, undeniable; and her legacy, as Quartz has reported, 'plays out across the continent'⎈

A German radio journalist is traveling to California in a few weeks to work on a planned German public radio documentary on Robert Anton Wilson.
The journalist's name is Maximilian Netter. He has lined up interviews with Adam Gorightly, Richard Rasa, Christina Pearson and Douglas Rushkoff, so he has good sources.
More Adam Gorightly news soon.
In other German news, Rasa reported in the latest RAW Trust newsletter, "We feel saddened but honored to take a moment to mention the passing of Dieter Hagenbach, the first publisher of Bob's books in German. As the founder of Sphinx Publishing he also brought to the German language the works of Joseph Campbell, H.R. Giger, George Gurdjieff, Jean Houston, Timothy Leary, John Lilly, Terence McKenna, Alan Watts, and others. Working closely with his friend Albert Hofmann, Dieter was a life-long proponent of the intelligent use of psychedelics. Farewell to a kind soul."


I read this quote yesterday and again today in Life Together by Bonhoeffer. Very well said.
"...the Christian is the man who no longer seeks his salvation, his deliverance, his justification in himself, but in Jesus Christ alone. He knows that God's Word in Jesus Christ pronounces him guilty even when he does not feel his guilt, and God's Word in Jesus Christ pronounces him not guilty and righteous, even when he does not feel that he is righteous at all. The Christian no longer lives of himself, by his own claims and of his own justification, but by God's claims and God's justification. He lives wholly by God's Word pronounced upon him, whether that Word declares him guilty or innocent."
Life Together has to be one of the best books on Christian fellowship that I've read in recent years :).

La Sveriges Fotbollshistoriker & Statistiker Hall of Fame – nota semplicemente come SFS Hall of Fame – è la Hall of Fame del calcio svedese. Istituita nel 2002, il suo compito è quello di onorare le personalità calcistiche che hanno contribuito allo sviluppo e alla popolarità del calcio locale. È stata presentata ufficialmente nel 2003 e da quel momento, una volta l'anno, vi è stato introdotto un numero variabile di giocatori. Non esistono limitazioni per allenatori o dirigenti, mentre per i calciatori è necessario che essi si siano ritirati da almeno dieci anni. Più specificatamente, questi giocatori devono aver interrotto la loro militanza ad alto livello, poiché un ritorno in campo nelle divisioni inferiori non è limitante. Con le introduzioni del 2019, la SFS Hall of Fame si compone di 68 elementi.

With many Bay issues being resolved by political bodies—from local government zoning and stormwater decisions to state and federal environmental programs—a political scientist has stepped in to help fill the information void that exists about political newcomers.
Howard Ernst, associate professor of political science at the U.S. Naval Academy, this year launched the Blue Crab Project, which assesses whether political challengers facing incumbents or seeking open seats are what he considers to be a "Bay safe" choice.
Ernst, who is author of "Chesapeake Bay Blues," a book examining political issues affecting the Chesapeake's restoration, launched the initiative out of frustration with most mainstream environmental groups for failing to endorse or promote candidates.
It's an all-volunteer effort led by Ernst, with others helping though such actions as maintaining a web site, designing a logo and printing "support blue crab candidate" bumper stickers.
Candidates must be nominated for the distinction, after which Ernst conducts a review of any public records, interviews the candidates if necessary, and asks other environmental leaders to comment on the candidate's credentials.
The project does not make any assessment of incumbents. Ernst said that's because incumbents have track records. Challengers often do not, so the project seeks to fill that information void for the voting public. Also, Ernst said, he is trying to promote a new generation of political leadership.
About of half the 19 Blue Crab candidates won their primary races in September, which Ernst called "phenomenal" because several were facing incumbents.

Q: Debug custom Multithreaded Cache I have an array of 32 cache objects and I am refreshing each of the cache periodically after every 20 seconds. Attached code snippet below.

            initialDelay += 2;
            cacheContainers.add(cache);
        }
    }
}

Is it possible that a thread is exceeding max heap limit and error is getting thrown but since I am not catching error I am not observing it?
But I am not sure if outofmemory error is thrown by one thread then will the entire application stop or only a thread will get impacted? Any comment?

A beautiful deck built into your outdoor living space is a haven where you, your family, and friends can all appreciate spending time together. Barbecuing, gathering for drinks, or simply enjoying the view are seamless on a solidly built deck. Fortunately, the mild rainforests of Vancouver Island produce amazing coastal softwoods, cedar being one of them.
Undoubtedly, cedar wood is the best choice for decking for a number of reasons, particularly if you want your deck to last. Treated or untreated, cedar incorporates natural beauty, as well as providing a safe walking surface in your outdoor living space.
Longhouse can pre-stain cedar siding in-house, a big advantage over competitors.

Inexpensive treated wood may be full of moisture—thus, it will shrink unevenly and even bend once dried. Therefore, cedar looks better longer.
Cedar decking ordered from Longhouse Specialty Forest Products is FSC® certified, so it is an eco-friendly choice for modern builds.
Cedar decking is breathtakingly beautiful, unlike many artificial decking products that attempt to look aesthetically charming but don't quite hit the mark.
Left untreated by toxic chemicals, cedar's natural beauty still shines through while resisting rot.
With proper maintenance, cedar decking lasts longer than other decking.
Purchasing pre-stained siding offers a resilient and attractive final product, available in any colour.
Cedar resists mold, unlike other decking materials, such as composite, which is susceptible to mold and mildew on the surface and in the product's composition. Also, cedar siding is prone to less rot and bacteria than other types of wood.
Wood decking is entirely biodegradable and comes from a renewable resource.
Cedar decking material is safe. Mildew growth on a composite deck surface is extremely slippery, and therefore, dangerous, to walk on.
Cedar has more flexibility than say, redwood, and since it's also less dense with less natural oil, it is thereby more accepting of stain.
Lighter cedar wood decking is easy to work with.
Cedar is durable—other decking materials wear more easily. For instance, indents or abrasions inflicted on composite decking products cannot be sanded out.
Custom cut yellow cedar decking is conveniently manufactured at the mill in Parksville.
Cedar secretes oils (extractives) that resist harsh weather, moisture, and insects, such as carpenter ants. Indeed, most cedar lasts 15-25 years, often longer.
Cedar decking is versatile. For example, western red cedar, accepts different bleaches, stains, colours, and finishes. It can also be purchased in a variety of grades, dimensions, and textures, unlike other decking materials.
Pre-stained or untreated cedar and all other types of cedar products are readily available from Longhouse, so if you're an islander, you're supporting a local business.
Ordering pre-stained cedar makes the job easier, helping you avoid the costs of hiring someone to apply the stain.
Moreover, pre-finished decking purchased from Longhouse Specialty Forest Products can be shipped anywhere in the world. If you're a proud homeowner who takes pride in your outdoor living space, putting due care and attention into your cedar decking offers amazing benefits for decades, protected from rotting, weathering, and insect infestations. Select from custom cut Yellow Cedar Decking and Western Red Cedar to handle any climate and all footsteps.


Vale of Glamorgan AM, Jane Hutt, has pledged to champion the concerns of local people with a terminal illness by lending her support to a Marie Curie campaign calling for the right for everyone to have palliative care when they need it.
Jane Hutt AM teamed up with Marie Curie Senior Health Care Assistant Tracy Tucker at Ty Hywel in Cardiff Bay on Tuesday 17th November to back the campaign from the UK's leading charity supporting people living with any terminal illness, and their families.
Jane Hutt has pledged to help ensure that any constituents who have a terminal illness know what services and benefits they are entitled to; and work with local NHS services to improve access to and quality of palliative care for those who need it.
In Vale of Glamorgan Marie Curie will soon be launching a new integrated Hospice at Home service in collaboration with Cardiff & the Vale University Health Board. The new service, which is set to officially launch in the New Year, will transform care for people living with a terminal illness by providing flexible, 24-hour care. The area is also home to the Marie Curie Cardiff & the Vale Hospice, a 30-bed unit providing specialist round the clock care.
The hospice itself is host to a twice-monthly Carers' Café, where carers can pop in for a cuppa, slice of cake and an informal chat about their caring role. Since opening in March this year, the café has supported more than 170 carers.
The Marie Curie Helper Service, which sees local volunteers provide companionship and support for people living with a terminal illness, also operates in the area.

I have seen this film and enjoyed it very much. I had seen it before but never really got into it and it was one of those films that didn't really grab me. However, after seeing this film I decided to watch it again. I loved it. The way the film was made and the way the director managed to get the characters to say what they were feeling was very effective. The way the film was made and the way it was shown was very good. I would say this is one of the best films I have seen. I really liked this film and I would recommend it to anyone who likes film.
I have always been a big fan of the documentary "Watershed" and have always been interested in the history of the region. It's a good film, but a little slow and it just gets a little tedious. It's worth seeing though, especially if you are a fan of the region. The film is a collection of interviews with people who lived and worked in the region, and it includes the very interesting and fascinating people that lived there. You learn about the people, their lives, and the people that worked for them. I was particularly impressed with the interviews with the people who worked at the salt mine and the mines themselves. I was especially interested in the miners who lived in the area and the people that worked for them. This film is a good introduction to the region and the people who lived there.
As I have read the book and seen the movie, I have to say that this film is very similar to the book. I thought that it was better. The movie is about the "Double Life" of the main character, Tony. The main characters in the book were more like the main characters in the movie. I felt that they were more true to the book. The book is very long. I felt that it would be better to have the movie be shorter than the book. It was a good movie, but I felt that it was a bit slow. It is a good movie, but I felt that it could have been better.
I was lucky enough to see this film at a special screening of the new documentary "The Fall of the Republic" in Toronto. The movie is an excellent presentation of the life and times of the great leader of the United States. It is a must see for anyone interested in American history, political history, or just history in general. I would like to add that I am a big fan of the new documentary "The American Dream" and this movie was a great companion piece to the documentary. The director and writer of "The Fall of the Republic" are very well known in Canada and have a strong following in the United States. I highly recommend this film for anyone interested in the history of the United States and the role of a leader in shaping the nation.
It's funny, sad and just plain crazy. The film follows the life of a family living in a rural area of Japan. The father is a loner who never has a girlfriend. The mother is a broken housewife who has no friends, and the children are all adults who are left to fend for themselves. They live in a shack with a single tree in the middle of the yard. The film is a must see for any fan of Japanese cinema. It's also a must see for anyone who wants to understand the lives of these people. It's really a unique film that can be seen multiple times.
I was surprised to see how much I enjoyed this documentary. It was very well made, and it had a lot of good information about the people who have been affected by the disease. I especially liked the interview with the director, who had been affected by the disease, and the person who has been living with the disease for the past 15 years. I would recommend this documentary to anyone who is interested in this disease. It is not as depressing as it sounds, and it does not make you feel like you are not worthy of living. I thought the movie was very well made, and I think it was worth the price of admission. I think it is a great documentary to show to people who have the disease, and I think it is a very important part of the story.
I first watched this documentary on HBO in 2007, and I'm glad I did. I think it's one of the most powerful documentaries ever made. I'm a huge fan of the music, and it's been a great pleasure to see this documentary in its entirety. There is some great music in it, and I was especially impressed by the lyrics that were sung by the performers. I was also impressed with the fact that the musicians had the time to reflect on their lives, and the mistakes they made. This documentary was shot in a very unique way, and it really shows the raw emotions of the musicians. The music is great, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves the music. I think it's a great documentary for people who are fans of the music, and who are interested in what life was like for the musicians.
I love documentaries. The more you know, the more you can understand the world. This documentary is an eye opener. It is a great look into the lives of a few of the most important people in the world today. The way the documentary is filmed is very interesting. It is very hard to see the people in their own words. It is not like the news where you can just read the headlines. This documentary is filmed very well and there are some very interesting interviews with people from different parts of the world. This documentary is a great way to learn about the world. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about the world and to those who are interested in the world. It is an excellent documentary and it will make you think. I hope that you enjoy this documentary as much as I did. I would also like to thank the director for making this documentary and giving it to us.

I was able to see this film in the U.K. with a small group of friends who were all willing to see it. It was a really good film. It's a mixture of documentary and interviews with various people who have had a close connection with the event. It was a little slow at times, but it was still very interesting and very well made. The only downside is that it was filmed in the U.K. and a lot of the interviews were done in English, which is a little difficult to understand. I think it would have been a better film if it was filmed in English and the interviews were done in French or German. Overall, it was a good film and I think everyone should see it at least once. It's very well made and I'd recommend it to everyone.
Zachary Medina
This film is an excellent, detailed documentary about the early years of the New York University football program. It covers all the major events of the program, from its inception to the time when the program went to the Big East Conference. The film also covers the recruitment of current players, the background of the program, and the ups and downs of the program. The film also includes interviews with many current and former players who played for the team. The film also provides an excellent overview of the football program. The film is an excellent resource for any student-athlete, coach, or fan. The film also provides a great overview of the game, the players, and the program. It is an excellent film for any fan of the game, whether or not you are a football fan.

This is a documentary about the search for a child who disappeared from a hospital in Guatemala in 1985. The case was investigated by a team of local police officers. They were joined by an international team of experts from the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada. The team is made up of doctors, psychologists, forensic psychologists, anthropologists and anthropologists. The film is very informative and offers a lot of information on the case. It is also very interesting to see how the team has developed their ideas about the case and how they have gone about their research. It is very well made and it is very entertaining. The film also contains interviews with the parents and the relatives of the missing child. Overall, it is a very interesting documentary. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in the case.
I'm a big fan of documentary, and this is one of the best I've seen. I'm not a fan of politics, but I think it's important to be able to look at the world from the point of view of the people, and the way the world is going. This film is a good example of that. It shows the very important role of the media, and how the media is being manipulated and controlled by the politicians and the corporations. The film also shows the problems of the people, who are under the thumb of the government and the corporations. The people who are the most affected by the government are the people who live in the country, and it shows how the people who live in the country are being screwed. I think this film is very important, and I strongly recommend it. It's a great documentary, and I highly recommend it.
I was very skeptical about this documentary, given the subject matter. I knew very little about the Iraq War and the people involved in it. I also knew that the subject matter was extremely difficult to cover. I thought the film would be about the military, about the torture, about the lives of the people involved in the torture. I was very wrong. I was pleasantly surprised. This is an honest and truthful look at the torture and the lives of the people involved in the torture. The film is an excellent summary of the facts and is well done. The interviews with the torture victims were very well done, especially the ones who were actually in the torture rooms. I was also very impressed by the military personnel who were interviewed. They were very honest and very forthright. I think this documentary is an excellent example of how to do a documentary and I recommend it highly.

I watched this movie in the late afternoon, and I was very impressed. I watched it twice, and I'm now watching it a third time. I've watched the documentary twice, and I'm still amazed. I was a bit disappointed that the video was not in French, and that the narrator didn't speak English, but I guess that was the director's intent. The movie was very well-made, the editing was very well done, and I think that the acting was very good. I was very impressed by the camera work and the editing. I think that it was very important to have an interpreter in the movie, because it helped me understand a lot of the subtitles. I was also very impressed by the way the director used music to emphasize certain scenes, like the guitar chords and the piano notes, etc. I think that this is a very good movie, and I would recommend it to anyone.

A documentary film about a group of women who live and work in the middle of nowhere in the American Midwest. It is a study of what happens when a community of women who are in their 60's and 70's face the challenges of old age. These women are still going to work, still going to school, still going to church, still going to the grocery store. They are still doing the things that they love to do. But one of them, Carol, who was in her 70's when the film was made, says she's not going to be around much longer. And that is the point of the film. The documentary is very well done, but I think the real story is the women themselves. The women are wonderful and the film is very well done. I liked it. It is a good film about the women and their stories. It is not a film that is going to change your life. But it is a very good film about the women who live in the middle of nowhere and their stories. I recommend it to people who like documentaries and people who like to be moved. 8/10.
I had no idea what to expect when I rented this documentary. I had seen some of the other documentaries on the subject, and they were pretty good, but this was a little different. I was looking for something a little more in depth than the typical, "how to make a documentary" type of film. What I got was a look into the film-making process from a few people involved in the making of this film. It was well-paced, and very well-done. I was impressed with the work of the people who worked on this film, and I look forward to seeing more of their work in the future. I would highly recommend this film for anyone who is interested in the film-making process, or even just interested in a look at what goes into making a film. I would recommend this film to anyone who is interested in the film-making process, or even just interested in a look at what goes into making a film.
I think this is a great movie. It is not about the subject matter of the film, but rather the idea that there is a certain amount of control that should be exercised in our lives. The problem with so many people is that they are so caught up in the idea of being perfect that they do not see that there is a limit to how far they are willing to go in order to be perfect. I think this film is a great example of this. It is a great movie, but it is also a great metaphor for the way we are all living our lives. I would recommend this movie to anyone. I think you will enjoy it.
Olivia Armstrong
I went to see this film with very high expectations. I am not a huge fan of Richard Linklater, but I thought he would do a great job with the subject matter. I was very pleasantly surprised. This film is a tour de force. It is very well made, and is probably one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. It is really a must see. It is not a film for the faint of heart, but it is a film that anyone should see at least once. The subject matter is very disturbing, but it is done in a very sensitive and respectful way. The way it was done, it was very realistic. I think the most disturbing part of this film is the way it is filmed. I am not sure if it is a documentary, or a documentary is a documentary. The documentary style of the film is very disturbing, but it is done very well. I have never seen a documentary film that is so well made, and this is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. I would recommend this film to anyone who is interested in the subject matter, or anyone who wants to see a great documentary.
Brenda Cook
The first few minutes of this film are very well done. The music is beautiful, the story is a bit of a mess, but it's all in the first few minutes. I was reminded of "Sideways", but without the comedy. This is a very real documentary that tells the stories of real people, and gives you a chance to see how they live their lives. I have never been a big fan of the European film industry. But this film is very well done. The camera work is also very well done. The people are very real, and the story is very interesting. This is a very good documentary. I highly recommend it.


Summary: Researchers report consuming a savory broth can produce subtle neurobiological changes that promotes healthy eating behaviors and food choices.
Researchers have found that consuming a broth rich in umami–or savory taste–can cause subtle changes in the brain that promote healthy eating behaviors and food choices, especially in women at risk of obesity.
Umami is a Japanese word to express a delicious, savory meal, and it represents one of the five basic tastes, together with sweet, salty, bitter, and sour. A key component of umami taste is glutamate, a naturally occurring non-essential amino acid that can be found in nearly all foods, and especially in foods high in protein such as dairy products, fish, and meat.
Previous experimental studies have shown that intake of a broth or soup supplemented with monosodium glutamate (MSG), a sodium salt of glutamate, prior to a meal can decrease appetite and food intake, especially in women with a propensity to overeat and gain weight. In a study published March 30 in Neuropsychopharmacology, researchers evaluated changes in the brains of healthy young women after they consumed chicken broth with or without MSG added.
The investigators used three laboratory tools to detect changes: a computer test that measured inhibitory control (a key mental process that is necessary for self-regulation of eating), a buffet meal during which participants ate freely while wearing special glasses that tracked eye movements, and a functional brain scan that measured brain activity while participants made food choices.
Following intake of the umami-rich broth, participants performed the inhibitory control test better, had more focused gazes during the meal, and had more engagement of a brain area that is linked to successful self-regulation during food choice. Also, after consuming the umami-rich broth, those at higher risk of obesity consumed less saturated fat during the meal.

"Previous research in humans studied the effects of umami broths on appetite, which is typically assessed with subjective measures. Here, we extended these findings replicating the beneficial effects of umami on healthy eating in women at higher risk of obesity, and we used new laboratory measures that are sensitive and objective," said senior author Miguel Alonso-Alonso, MD, PhD, an Assistant Professor at the Center for the Study of Nutrition Medicine in BIDMC's Department of Surgery, BIDMC. He also noted that much research has examined the effects of sugar and sweetness on the brain, but the study of savory taste has been limited.

Free glutamate, a key substance underlying the umami taste of foods, fulfills a number of physiological functions related to energy balance. Previous experimental studies have shown that intake of a broth or soup supplemented with monosodium glutamate (MSG) prior to a meal can decrease appetite and food intake, particularly in women with propensity to overeat and gain weight. In this study, we examined potential neurocognitive mechanisms underlying this effect. We evaluated changes after intake of a chicken broth with or without MSG added (MSG+/MSG−) in a sample of healthy young women. Subjects were assessed with a food-modified computerized inhibitory control task, a buffet meal test with eye-tracking, and brain responses during a food choice paradigm evaluated with functional neuroimaging. We found evidence for improvement in key parameters related to inhibitory control following intake of the MSG+ broth, particularly in subjects with high levels of eating disinhibition, who also showed lower intake of saturated fat during the meal. Additionally, consumption of the MSG+ broth led to a reduction of the rate of fixation switches between plates at the meal, and increased engagement of a brain region in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex previously associated with successful self-control during dietary decisions. Altogether, these results, while preliminary, suggest potential facilitating effects of glutamate (MSG) on cognitive executive processes that are relevant for the support of healthy eating behaviors and food choice.

Q: java GUI unresponsive for several seconds we have a java client/server application, of which the GUI regularly (every half hour) becomes unresponsive for 2 to 10 seconds in average. clicks on different buttons do only take effect after a few seconds of hang time.
I first thought there was a GC issue, but investigation proved nothing's wrong on this side.
I'm more convinced it's a threading issue, with the graphical thread blocking at some moments.
how can I check the status of the graphic thread to witness its "unresponsiveness" in my log ? I imagine I could check its state every second or so from a different thread, but how to do so ? which variable to poll ?
any other idea on how to tackle this ?
thanks

A: You can issue a kill -QUIT to the Java process (and something equivalent on Windows), which will cause all threads to dump their stacktraces to STDOUT, so you can see what is going on. This also shows which threads are holding locks (synchronized blocks) and which are waiting.

A: If you cannot reproduce the problem in test, and cannot shut down production, then there is not a simple answer to your question.
It seems like you might have bigger problems that have to be diagnosed using some kind of profiling tool. We use JProbe & JProfiler and have had a lot of luck with it.
Worst case, you can use JMX to essentially write your own code that does something along the lines of this link. It has been very useful to me in the past.
http://www.javamex.com/tutorials/profiling/profiling_java5_threads_methodology.shtml

A: To get an idea of how long the ui thread is blocked, you can do something like,
ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor executor = ....
executor.scheduleAtFixedRate(new Runnable(){
   public void run() {testEventThread();}}, 5, 5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

void testEventThread() {
   final long now = System.currentTimeMillis();
   SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
       public void run() {
             System.out.println("event thread took:" + (System.currentTimeMillis()- now) + " to respond");
       }
   });

}


Also known as Chinese Evergreen plants, Aglaonema Silver Queens prefer low to medium lighting. Let the soil dry down between watering. Keep this plant in a room temperature environment away from any potential drafts.
The China Doll is a delightful foliage plant with masses of petite, ovate leaves. This makes a breathtaking potted specimen plant. Keep the soil evenly moist and fertilize regularly. Place in bright lighting.
Croton plants come in many variations all generally seen as houseplants. Crotons growing in containers should only get watered when the top of the soil is dry to the touch. This plant likes a warmer climate, so keep away from cold windows and drafts. Also available in 4.5″ and 10″.
Dieffenbachias do well as a house plant, thriving year round in room temperatures averaging 65-75 degrees. Dieffenbachia plants do not enjoy temperatures below 60 degrees. The plant cannot handle full sun but does appreciate good lighting, like you would find in a kitchen. Keep the soil moist to the touch. Also available in 4.5″ and 10″.
Place your Dracena Marginata in an area with medium lighting. It will be most comfortable in a room-temperature environment away from cold drafts. Water the plant well periodically. Wait until the top 50% of the soil is dry in between watering to prevent root-rot. Brown tips on the leaves indicate either over-watering, or too much fluoride and/or salt in the water. Numerous yellow leaves indicate that the plant is dry.
The Emerald Gem Plant requires medium, indirect light but grows even better in bright, indirect light. Always allow the top half of the soil to dry out before watering. An Emerald Gem Plant doesn't like anything cold, so use warm water and never dump extra ice cubes into the soil.
The Fatsia, or Japanese Aralia, is a fast-growing plant with lustrous, deep green foliage. It is excellent for both patios and indoor living. Water your Fatsia thoroughly but allow the soil to dry slightly between watering. Keep in medium lighting.
Also known as a "Bird's Nest Fern (Asplenium nidus), the Fern Crissie is a relatively carefree plant. It tends to grow upright with large fronds. Place the plant in an area with filtered, or indirect sunlight. Water the plant as necessary to keep the potting mix evenly moist, but not soggy.
Your Marble Queen likes the soil to be kept on the dry side. During the spring and summer, water when soil is dry to the touch. A Marble Queen prefer a bright indirect light. Temperatures between 65-85 degrees are best for your Marble Queen. The leaves may be damaged if it's temperature drops below 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Also available in 4.5in.
Place your Schefflera Capella in a room-temperature environment away from drafts or dry heating vents. Water the plant weekly during the growing season and frequently spray the leaves. Cut back on watering during the winter months.
This arrowhead plant should be allowed to dry between watering to prevent root rot. It prefers temperatures between 60 and 75 degrees F. Proper White Butterfly plant care requires humid conditions, especially during the dry winter months. Mist the plant regularly or place its container on a tray filled with pebbles and water in order to increase the humidity for optimal growth. Also available in 4.5″.
Place your ficus in an area with medium to bright lighting. The plant will be most comfortable in a room temperature environment away from cold drafts. Remove dust from the broad leaves regularly.
Calathea plants thrive in humidity and grow best in rooms with indirect lighting. Place your Calathea away from open windows or sunlight. Mist these plants regularly to retain humidity.

Q: Increment array values I have a array of integers.
Let's say:
int[] arr = {0,0,0};

I use a for loop to access array elements and then increment them by 1.
private int[] someMethod() {
    int [] arr = {0,0,0};
       for(int i = 0 ;i < arr.length; i++) {
          arr[i]++;
        }
    return arr;
}

Then I get [1,1,1] every time.
But I want to get [1,1,1] then [2,2,2] then [3,3,3] and so on..
In other words, I want to increment the array that has been already incremented
I hope someone could help

A: Here you have a logic, or algorithmic problem, let me explain.
In your example you have an array of thee elements:
int [] arr = {0,0,0};

So the following function call
arr.length

will be equal 3.
In your loop you have a condition:
int i = 0 ;i<arr.length;i++

Which can be seen as:
int i = 0 ;i<3;i++

So, having this condition we can see, that i can be 0, 1, 2.
It mean, that each time when loop goes on, you increment only one element of array.
First time you do it for arr[0], next with arr[1]. So each arr element is incremented once.
If you want to increment each element each time, your code should be:
private int[] someMethod(){
int [] arr = {0,0,0};
for(int i = 0 ;i<arr.length;i++){
 for(int j = 0; j < arr.length; j++){
  arr[j]++;
 }
}
return arr;
}

A: The problem is that you reallocate the array at the beginning of your method instead of using the previous one that you changed.  But there is also a more compact way to do this.
I would use the Arrays.setAll() method.

*

*the first argument is the array.

*the second argument is a lambda that returns the index of each array element.

int[] arr = {0,0,0};
Arrays.setAll(arr, i->++arr[i]);
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(arr));
Arrays.setAll(arr, i->++arr[i]);
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(arr));

Prints
[1, 1, 1]
[2, 2, 2]

If you want to incorporate it into your method you can do the following:

A suicide bomber blew himself up outside the Iraqi embassy in Kabul Monday and militants breached the compound, Afghan officials said, in a complex hours-long attack claimed by the Islamic State group.
All the attackers had been killed and the compound secured roughly four hours after the assault began, Afghanistan's interior ministry said, adding that all embassy staff were safe and only one policeman wounded "slightly".
There were conflicting reports about how the attack unfolded. The interior ministry said at least four militants had attacked the embassy, beginning with a suicide bomber who detonated his vest at the compound entrance.
"The quick-response police forces arrived in time and evacuated the Iraqi diplomats to safe place. No embassy staff have been harmed, only one policeman was wounded slightly," a ministry statement said.
An Afghan security official at the site of the attack and a number of witnesses however suggested the attackers were dropped by a car nearby, who then stormed the Iraqi embassy building with hails of bullets, before penetrating and detonating themselves inside.
Black smoke billowed into the air above the neighborhood in northwestern Kabul as the sound of gunfire, blasts and ambulance sirens could be heard. Panicked residents, including women and children, could be seen fleeing the area.
The Iraqi foreign ministry in Baghdad said the charge d'affairs was among those evacuated and that it was monitoring the situation with Afghan authorities, without giving further details.
The Afghanistan affiliate of the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack, according to a statement by its propaganda agency Amaq. It said two of its members attacked the embassy killing at least 27 guards and other embassy staff.


Small Business Saturday UK is a not-for-profit campaign, supporting, inspiring and promoting small businesses.
It was launched in the UK in 2013. and falls on the busiest shopping day each year – the first Saturday in December.
We hear on the news on a regular basis that large chain stores are suffering in the present economic situation. High street shops are disappearing at a rapid rate not being helped by the advance of 'shopping on-line'. Is it time for the small business to make a reappearance?
The campaign encourages businesses to promote themselves and work with other small businesses. Consumers are encouraged to 'shop local' and support small, independent businesses in their communities.
In 2016, research after the day suggested that consumers spent £717m with small businesses on Small Business Saturday. An increase of 15% on 2015 spending.
Small Business Saturday 2017 was the most successful campaign yet with an estimated £748 million spent on the day.
The Small Business Saturday UK initiative has attracted the support of leading business organisations including the Federation of Small Businesses, Association of City and Town Management, Association of Convenience Stores and Northern Ireland Independent Retail Trade Association. It has received wide support from all political parties and a number of large corporations.
fsb members own small businesses, are self-employed, innovate and take risks. They work tirelessly to succeed, often with little or no recognition for the positive impact they may have on their community or local economy. They believe that anyone who has a good idea and takes a risk to put it into practice is a Real Life Entrepreneur.
The federation champion their Real Life Entrepreneurs by promoting the issues that affect small businesses in Government.
The traditional high street is changing. Small retailers in particular, are facing spiralling business rates and ever-increasing rents. On top of this, high parking charges, poor infrastructure and the loss of vital banking services, have added to the woes of small businesses.
Small business owners are resilient and adaptable. The fsb are working with Government and local authorities to come together to face the issues so that our high streets are not only able to survive but to thrive.
We have a busy and knowledgeable team in our employment and commercial department who can help new and existing businesses. We can assist you with a business start-up and commercial leasing. If you have staff, we can assist with employment contracts or any HR issues you may have.
The new data protection laws (GDPR) came into effect in May of this year and can sometimes be complicated to adhere to. Our team can guide you in the right direction with as little or as much help as you need to stay compliant.


We are very happy to announce that we are now available on facebook as well! On our facebook page you can see our archived collection and many more models of sunglasses that are not in our archives but are nevertheless extremely interesting to post about and discuss. Snapshots of friends wearing sunglasses as well as archive images of people in shades from all epoches as well as links to sunglasses shops we like! Please like our page on facebook and share the love for shades! Thank you!

Claire and Max offer you an unusual stay in one of their six wooden treehouses that can accommodate 21 people in all.
The treehouses (that sleep 2, 3, 4 or 8 people) are situated between 4 and 14 metres high in more than one-hundred-year-old oak and beech trees. They don't have running water or electricity. There is a small cold water storage tank, a composting toilet in the house, a battery operated lamp for light, but there are two bathrooms available at the reception.
Breakfast and dinner (homemade, at extra charge upon reservation) are delivered at the foot of the tree.
The treehouses are located at the start of numerous hiking trails, 12 km (7 miles) away from Dieppe, 45 minutes away from Rouen, 2 hours away from Paris and 3 hours 30 minutes away from Brussels.


We offer small and effective group classes in Central London and North London, including Clerkenwell EC1, Finsbury Park N4, Palmers Green N13 and Barnet EN4.
The syllabus is carefully designed to develop the four skills (speaking, listening, writing and reading) with the most emphasis on speaking. Our classes are effective but also fun. We use the latest methodology, audio and visual aids to give students tools to learn effectively. All lessons are taught in Italian giving students ample exposure to the language and students are given many opportunity to practice speaking (as well as the other skills) during class.


The Jetsons is considered a timeless classic. To many, it is a true piece of historic American Television. Which makes sense considering it was made by the same people who brought us The Flintstones. The Jetsons has as been reworked more than once, but this week we decided to go back to where it all began to the original series from 1962. In all fairness, neither of us had seen this show in decades. We tried as we always do, to find a way to remove our rose colored glasses as we re lived this piece of americana. But what about kids today? Do the stories and morals of the 1960s hold up to today? Grab a listen and find out!

The Irish Constitutional Convention: citizen-oriented political reform in action
David Farrell / August 6, 2013
Declaration of interest: I am one of the members of the academic team advising the constitutional convention on its work programme.
The Irish Constitutional Convention is most of the way through its work programme. Many journalists and other commentators were critical of the Convention when it was launched. But among those who have witnessed its proceedings the sense is that it has been a success (see, for instance, Harry McGee's piece). The Convention's first report (on voting age and the presidential term of office) was discussed in the Dáil in July, just before the summer recess (see the ministerial statement here) where the government committed to holding referendums on three of the four recommendations made by the Convention and for the fourth item (on giving citizens a say in the nomination of presidential candidates) to be referred to the Environment committee for further consideration — overall, then, a pretty positive reaction by government (so far).
At its launch, one of the main criticisms of the Convention was over its work programme, particularly over its quite restricted agenda and indeed the rather eclectic nature of the topics for consideration. But just how restricted is the agenda? The table below tells quite a different story…
The outcomes of the Irish constitutional convention to date (as of August 2013)
Recommendations of the Constitutional Convention
Current state of play
1. Reduction of the Presidential term of office to five years and the alignment with local and European elections
No change to length of the Presidential term of office
Reduce the age of candidacy for Presidential candidates
Give citizens a say in the nomination process for presidential candidates
Government has committed to holding a referendum on recommendations 1 and 2 & to refer recommendation 3 to the relevant Oireachtas committee for further consideration
2. Reduction of the voting age to 17
Voting age should be reduced to 16
Government has committed to holding a referendum on this
3. Amendment to the clause on the role of women in the home & encouraging greater participation of women in public life
Article 41.2 (on the role of women) should be made gender-neutral to include other carers both 'in the home' and 'beyond the home'
Re a.41.2.2 (the state's support for carers) the state should provide 'a reasonable level of support'
Report was lodged with the Oireachtas in May 2013, to be debated in the autumn
4. Increasing the participation of women in politics
The Constitution should be amended to include an explicit provision on gender equality
Apart from constitutional reform, there should be more government action to encourage greater participation of women in politics
The Constitution should be amended to include 'gender-inclusive' language
Report was lodged with the Oireachtas in June 2013, to be debated in the autumn
5. Provisions for same-sex marriage
The Constitution should be amended to allow for same-sex marriage (and this amendment should 'directive')
If the amendment is carried then the state should enact laws incorporating necessary changed arrangements in regard to the parentage, guardianship and upbringing of children
6. Review of the Dáil electoral system
The existing (STV) electoral system should be amended to ensure that the smallest constituency size is a 5-seater and to remove the alphabetical order of candidates on the ballot paper
The state should establish an Electoral Commission
Polling hours/days in should be extended
There should be greater access to postal voting
The accuracy of the electoral register should be improved
Measures should be introduced to increase electoral turnout
Education programmes should be introduced in schools
There should be non-parliamentary ministers in government
Members of the Dail should be required to resign their seats on being appointed to ministerial office
Citizen-initiatives should be introduced (both for influencing the parliamentary agenda and for the calling of referendums)
Report being finalized
7. Irish citizens' right to vote at Irish Embassies in Presidential elections n/a To be discussed at the Constitutional Convention in September
8. Removal of the offence of Blasphemy from the Constitution n/a To be discussed at the Constitutional Convention in November
9. Following completion of these topics the Convention may make other recommendations as it sees fit n/a To be discussed at the Constitutional Convention in December
The plain fact is that the Convention members have not let themselves be tied in too tightly to the agenda as set by the government. What started out as eight topics for consideration have so far morphed into no less than twenty specific recommendations.
What this experience shows is that engaging with citizens in the process of debating and deliberating over reform allows plenty of scope for consideration of additional, related items. Giving citizens some say in the process is proving to be a highly positive experience and one worth extending into the future.

Irish Citizens Decide: A Review of the Irish Convention on the Constitution
How should we rewrite our constitution?
← "Reform Scorecard" Nua?
Constituency service by TDs is good — but it must be in proportion →
One thought on "The Irish Constitutional Convention: citizen-oriented political reform in action"
Anthony T Egan says:
We all know that in Ireland voters we seem to suffer from systemic apathy, the voter turnout in recent referenda has been dismal, the idea prevails that it's a waste of time as nothing will change. The dichotomy inherent in the concept that "nothing will change so I won't bother to vote" is glaringly obvious, nevertheless, voter apathy is prevalent and needs to be addressed.
I would like to suggest an amendment to the electoral system in Ireland, a way to give voters more choice and encourage a higher voter participation in the election process, a way to generate voter interest and enthusiasm.
Our current system only allows us to express a preference for a candidate or candidates, now I do not intend to argue the merits of the PR-STV system. I only wish to suggest a change to the ballot paper. It's really quite simple, each candidate has TWO boxes next to their name so voters can actively vote FOR or AGAINST a candidate. At the counting table, negative votes would be subtracted from positive votes so the winner would not simply be the most popular but also the one whose political ideals had alienated the least voters. This system would allow and encourage voters who were less than enthusiastic about the available candidates to still cast a vote, and by doing so express an opinion, and, more importantly know that their opinion would be reflected in the result.
The current system of spoiling a ballot paper does not allow the voter to express an opinion. The disenchanted voter's opinions are simply disregarded, the total of spoilt ballot papers is published but we have no knowledge of why they were spoilt. Being able to cast a negative vote would significantly empower voters and encourage greater participation in the electoral process.
We are the electorate, the voters, and I think we deserve a more definitive way to express our opinion of political candidates.
All in favour say aye.

I am just headed out the door to go pick up some Black Copper Marans eggs from a nice man named Lou in Rhode Island.
Yes, I will drive two hours to pick up eggs. Chicken people do these things. I have sold roos to people from upstate New York and Southern Connecticut--3 hour drives each way. I had a young mom with toddler in the car pick up and take my stunning white Silkie roo, "Rudy Toot Toot" when he became too much trouble around here. Poor Minnie was worn out from his advances.
Rudy the rooster. Remember the movie Rudy about the cocky, short football player at Notre Dame?
It's all about attitude with little Silkies. You couldn't tell him that those big Americauna girls were not his type. He kept trying and trying, but all he really had was one other Silkie girl, poor Minnie.
So. . . no problem. Last year, my hens came from muddy---read that as "almost impassable" backroads in New Hampshire and Vermont. But here is the downside of this kind of chicken buying. These birds are unvaccinated for Mareks. I hope to have Dr. Daughter, do that for me this year. (My daughter is a veterinarian) And sometimes backyard breeders don't keep the best records and you may end up with a bird that is less than what you expected. For instance, I have what should be a true Americauna, but she lays green Easter Egger type eggs, rather than the light blue that would be expected. I don't believe people are dishonest, but just bad record keepers. Green eggs taste just as good. And she is a beautiful Lavendar colored bird with all the right looks.
Lou's rooster and a couple of his girls. You can find him on the Rhode Island Craigslist postings.
Lou's birds are Black, Blue and Splash Marans. The rooster, he says, is a Black Copper Marans who produces birds that lay the very dark chocolate eggs that I most want. The chicks will be a mix of colors, so it will be fun to see how they turn out. This time of year, I think, most backyard chicken breeders do not have the spaces needed to keep one rooster with one hen, or type of hen, separated for breeding just for colors. We all have to huddle up for the winter to keep warm. I hope Mr. Rooster has been keeping warm with his hens. But I do hope some are true Black Copper Marans.

Games can be made by anyone
Pages: first prev 345678910111213 next last
@Relyt: Well, in all honesty, we really don't have any better moves to make, but I'll unvote for now since we do have time. Patience is an important thing I'd assume, but in your defense, you don't really act like you have a guilty conscience.
How about we post our opinions on people so far?
Ark: Not much of a talker I see. Kinda makes me wonder why he's so quiet. Possibly knows he'd slip up and tries to keep quiet? Although, granted I haven't seen him around other forums as much either so he might not have the kind of time to be on here a lot. Or just nothing to add. No preference.
Tonfa: Very intelligent and thorough. Not really feeling that he's Mafia. I also feel like more people would resort to just random voting and the game itself wouldn't be as fun without him. Except he randomly voted on Gemini on day 1 as well. I would assume that's just to get things moving. Not voting on him for now until something changes, mainly just to keep his intelligence. It seems almost more beneficial to keep someone around with a mind for these kind of situations and have him the killer than to have everyone just voting whoever posts.
Liberty: Also quiet, but more active than the other quiet types. I keep forgetting she's even playing. Never really seems like the guilty type with the posts she made. No preference yet.
AeroGP: Doesn't really feel like him. I wish I had more to go off of, but he hasn't said much either. I also don't like him going back to inactivity. Flying under the radar perhaps? No preference but I'm iffy.
GameOverGames Productions: Really not helping in anything. He's been casting random votes throughout each day and just saying so many things that you can't really determine anything about him other than he's annoying. Almost makes me want to vote on him just to clear out the noise :P. But then again, his vote is just as powerful as anyone elses. If he's vanilla town, we still need him I guess. I believe he's capable of intelligently inputting his opinions, but as of now, he's not doing much of that. Vote leans toward him, but not enough to actually vote for now.
Relyt: I'm not condemning him for randomly voting. There's not much else we can do other than that though. I believe we're getting a little impatient I suppose. Random lynching gets the game moving, but it's not necessarily helpful. Although, with a Mafia member gone, it seems to be safer. For some reason he feels off to me, which after thinking about it, it isn't a good enough reason to lynch him. I want a slightly better reason to vote.
ChaosProductions: He's following the crowd, which actually, is a common thinking pattern for Mafia, considering they just want everyone dead and if they weren't the first to spark the idea to lynch, they're normally off target, but as for now there's not much to do other than follow the crowd since it's only Day 2 and the night actions just told us that there's more than just Mafia among us. No preference for now, but that could change by the next day.
AznChipmunk: He's staying off the radar rather well in my head, and I'm not really sure why, because he has been posting. I've agreed with his posts most of the time during Day 2, so he's doing alright in my book. Seems innocent to me, but I didn't like how on Day 1 he says he doesn't vote on the first Day, but before that post he had voted for a No Lynch. Possibly so he wouldn't be randomly killed on Day 1 like last game though.
My opinions have been made after going over the rest of the posts, and I dislike how just by being calculating, people become intimidating.(Azn, Tonfa). Really though, I don't have too much preference as you can see. Not enough motive for it for now.
I hope this post sparks more discussion.

About my inactivity, I have a busy day and I'm devoting most of it to my RS! submission, so I have something more to show than just a bunch of custom menus.
I will say that it was a mistake on my part to have missed out on the first day. I don't think I would have agreed with everyone's choice to not lynch.
Seems innocent to me, but I didn't like how on Day 1 he says he doesn't vote on the first Day, but before that post he had voted for a No Lynch.
Er, hm, I think you misunderstood that since I said I abstain on the first day. That's what I call no lynching, since when I used to play this tons, the command for voting a no lynch was /me lynch abstain.
Well, Relyt is a little suspicious to me, since random voting on Day 2 right away is... well, a suspicious thing. Random voting on Day 1 is just random, but random voting on Day 2 I fear may have ulterior motives.
However, I also fear that you guys unvoting against Relyt may be his fellow wolves trying to protect him, as I think there's only 2 left, with 7 villagers against them. (It may be 3 and 6, but I'm not sure, I think it was 3 wolves originally.)
I don't really want to say much more, since I think it is dangerous to give too much analysis of what I think of other players.
Also, forgive me if I say wolves, that's just out of habit. I mean the Celestials or mafia or whatever.
Weird... I'm the only one that thinks I'm using strategy? (decides to roll with it and say it was my plan all along to use random voting to make the Celestials think I'm harmless)
I guess some of you are only looking at the bolded vote part and not the reasoning to my changes?
author=AeroGP link=topic=3879.msg78600#msg78600 date=1244176063
Unless you really want to stop playing, all of your double posting nonsense isn't helping you prove your innocence, let alone his guiltiness...
Well you can't edit your posts in this game now can you. I spent a good five minutes on that animation.
author=AznChipmunk link=topic=3879.msg78605#msg78605 date=1244177208
Ah, my mistake.
Natook: As I stated in my post, my vote against Gemini was because he jumped into the No Lynch bandwagon with seemingly no explanation. I was wrong about him in retrospect, of course, and NL turned out alright as well.
Now then. Having read the whole topic several times, I'll try to make some sense out of this mess.
Azn: Giving analysis is only dangerous if you're a celestial mafia scumwolf and end up getting killed, in which case analyzing their past posts and votes becomes a very valuable tool for town. Being too neutral is effectively the same as saying nothing at all...which concerns me. (For an example of the latter behavior, see: ace prime) That said, I have my reasons to believe you're town based on the words you HAVE said, for now. But please do get involved more.
The more I read this post the more it seems wrong in my head. Essential message I'm getting from this: "I'm just like all of you who vote randomly/jump on a bandwagon with no reason, let's kill the person who tries to make cases." Ghk. There's also this, directed at Relyt:
But then again, you are trying to use other peoples thoughts as a cover up for your lack of actual posting and lack of a solid defense.
Which I do completely agree with. Quoting someone unvoting you does not qualify as a reasoning for your actions.
ON THE OTHER HAND:
Whoawhoawhoawhoawhoa. Hold up. I'm just following the leader here.
Whoa whoa whoa, indeed. Every single one of these comments are in relation to me. It's like...you're just "following my lead", while "remaining suspicious" of me in an attempt to distance yourself, and planning to blame me and get me lynched and look like a shining example of a paragon townie tomorrow when Relyt ends up being town? I'm not sure how you intend to explain yourself out of me flipping town, though...unless it's too late by then. I don't think so. I have a heavy feeling that you're scum, what with all the bandwagoning you're doing.
Liberty, AeroGP, Ark, POST MORE ACTUAL THOUGHTS.
Well, for me, it's more about, I don't want any wolves to think that I don't suspect them, so I am trying to remain neutral with everyone. I kind of agree with your argument about ChaosProductions, but I want to see what he has to say before I vote towards lynching him.
I'm changing my vote.
##vote Relyt
It feels to me that you're just using certain words to 'prove' that you aren't a threat. It feels over-the-top to use the label 'scum'. You're trying too hard (imo).
Also, I don't talk too much because:
a) The last couple of days have been busy, and
b) I like to mull things over before I post a thought that may get someone lynched.
I don't really know how you get Relyt as scum from an argument directed against me. And for the record, the term "scum" is a common generic term for mafia and one I've been accustomed to. Celestials, scum, Mafia, werevolves, terrorist nazis(okay maybe not this one), does it matter?
Where I come from 'scum' means lowest of the low, filth, the most disgusting - it's pretty harsh to call someone that.
I suppose, if it is a different meaning... then perhaps I'm getting my wires crossed.
## vote no lynch
Guess I'm up in the air at the moment.
...you're voting to lynch me....over something Tonfa said...I'm confused.
Gah! I'm getting confused on who posted what. >.< Sorry, Relyt. And no, I've changed my vote.(As seen above)
Relyt (3): Tonfa, ChaosProductions, GameOverGames Productions, -ChaosProductions, -GameOverGames Productions, ChaosProductions, -Tonfa, -ChaosProductions, Ark, ChaosProductions, AznChipmunk, Natook, -Natook, Liberty, -Liberty
ChaosProductions (2): Relyt, -Relyt, Relyt, GameOverGames Productions, Liberty, -GameOverGames Productions, Tonfa, -Liberty
No Lynch (1): Liberty
Not Voting (1): Natook
Alright, I'm debating between Chaos and re-voting Relyt for today. I don't like Chaos' method of following the crowd. and Relyt still seems uneasy (I don't mind the random voting, it is needed actually in the beginning), but before I vote I would like to hear a final defense from the both of them, which would also be beneficial for other players considering other players are going to have to change their vote and these two have the most votes at the moment. Time is running out folks, and I think the least we should have right now is a no lynch. That just gives the Mafia and the Wildcard another chance to kill innocents at night, (or possibly each other, which would be the most beneficial outcome, but that's the most unlikely possibly, and there's also the chance of there being more mafiar) so really, I dislike the No Lynch option completely.
Either way, again, I would like to hear a final defense from Chaos and Relyt.

Relyt's playing you all!
As for being uneasy, I'm simply responding to the countless requests for a defense. Everybody seems to want to Lynch me, and that doesn't bode well for me. I DON'T WANT TO DIE.
If Tonfa's a Rebel, then his calculating methods and obvious previous experiance with this game is a healthy asset to my survival.
If Tonfa's a Celestial, then his calculating methods and obvious previous experiance with this game is a strong danger to my survival.
That's the dilemma. I'm about ~70% sure he's a Rebel - but that leaves ~30%.
Also, I'm about 60% sure Reylt is clean. But that leaves about 40% certainty that he's a Celestial. And that's the biggest Celestial certainty I have for anyone right now.
...Don't ask where I got the numbers.
WILL THIS DAY EVER END!?
