Galveston Judge lay's out a few F bombs.
Posted on August 10, 2010 by Liberty
Justice of the Peace Jim Schweitzer, in a speech before the school district laid it all out with on obscenity laced speech before the Galveston School district. His complaint being the reduction of security in the public schools. Galveston Daily explains:
GALVESTON — A judge's F-bomb outburst left Galveston Independent School District officials scratching their heads.
Justice of the Peace Jim Schweitzer, who also presides over Galveston's municipal court, stunned members of the district's board of trustees and senior officers when he used the obscenity during the public comments section of their budget-workshop meeting Wednesday.
Members of the board later told Interim Superintendent Ann Dixon they had differing ideas about the judge's intent in making his speech.
Schweitzer said Friday his primary criticism was there was too few security personnel at Ball High and the district's middle schools because of vacancies and he worried that Dixon wanted to cut the police department budget.
"Fewer officers and guards translate into less safety forstudents and teachers," he said.
"If security is not high on the superintendent's agenda, then let someone else judge the cases that make it through the system."
Meanwhile, the team that records board meetings for the island's public-service television channel had to work out how to show the whole program without breaking rules on foul language.
That language came just after Schweitzer began his several minutes long address, in which he told the board that, fromAug. 31, he would no longer accept cases involving GISD students in his court unless they were filed by police department personnel.
My Problem is that they will be editing out this foul language. The JP Jim Schweitzer is an elected official and Galvestonians deserve to hear his speech unadultrated.
Meanwhile, the district's communications specialist, Johnston Farrow, said he thought the television service did not have the ability to "bleep out" bad language but airing the confrontation unedited could earn the district a fine from the Federal Communications Commission.
As a result, it took almost 48 hours to remove the sound track from the offending part of Schweitzer's speech before the meeting video could go on air.
Someone needs to explain to Mr. Farrow, that the FCC doesn't regulate content that doesn't get transmitted over the air.

Check out my latest piece for B-Metro, "A Letter to My Single Self."
I loved this! I was already a homeowner with a career before I met my husband so I did have to make some mental adjustments after we got married and he moved in. I am still my own woman and I feel blessed I get to live with my best friend everyday. Your words resonated with me when you wrote about your husband giving you the space to restore your confidence while still telling you how beautiful you are.


United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a proposed rule on Dec. 31, 2015, and recently issued the final regulation which is scheduled to take effect on Jan. 17, 2017. The final regulation makes several changes that will benefit employees navigating the immigration process as well as their employers. Please note that while the regulation takes effect on Jan. 17, 2017, a new administration will take office on Jan. 20, 2017. We will continue to monitor the regulation and any policy guidance issued going forward.
Individuals with an employment-based adjustment of status application pending will face a lower risk of lapsed work authorization while extending an EAD. The proposed rule would provide for a 180-day extension of the validity period of the current EAD, as long as the extension application for a new EAD is filed timely (in other words, before the EAD expires). This change is helpful because of USCIS processing delays with regard to EAD adjudications. Now, if USCIS is delayed in issuing the new EAD, the individual can continue working past the expiration date on the old EAD, for up to 180 days if necessary, until the new EAD is issued. This change would apply to the principal employee and their family members. In addition, individuals will be able to apply for the extension up to 180 days before the current EAD expires. Currently, you can't file for the extension more than 120 days before the expiration date. This change applies to all individuals who have an expiring EAD.
Certain individuals in E-3, H-1B, H-1B1, L-1 or O-1 non-immigrant status may be able to obtain EADs (valid for one year) if they are the beneficiaries of an approved immigrant petition and they are able to demonstrate compelling circumstances. Compelling circumstances could include a serious illness in the family that causes the employee to have to change their employment situation, employer retaliation against the employee, significant disruption with the employer, other substantial harm to the employee, etc. This option does not apply to every individual who is employed and has an approved immigrant petition. There must be compelling circumstances involved, and those types of situations will be limited in scope and determined on a case-by-case basis.
USCIS is expanding the current definition of certain H-1B cap-exempt entities by including nonprofit entities that have entered into formal written affiliation agreements with institutions of higher education that have established active working relationships with the institutions of higher education for the purposes of education or research, and a fundamental activity of the nonprofit entity is to directly contribute to the research or education mission of the institution of higher education. This broader definition will be especially helpful to nonprofit health care providers and hospitals that have residency programs in partnership with institutions of higher education. The broader definition will help to remove uncertainty and is more inclusive than the old definition that USCIS utilized when making cap-exempt determinations.
The rule protects employees when they switch employers and have an approved immigrant petition that has been approved for more than 180 days. In those cases, if the employee leaves his or her current employer and moves to a new employer, and the old employer withdraws the immigrant petition (for reasons other than fraud or misrepresentation) or goes out of business, the employee will still be able to keep his or her priority date from the old petition (which helps keep their place in line for permanent residence). In addition, the employee will be able to use the prior approval for purposes of job portability if their adjustment of status application has been pending for more than 180 days, and he or she will be able to use the prior approved immigrant petition to obtain extensions of their H-1B status as needed.
The proposed rule would authorize a one-time 60-day grace period for individuals in E-1, E-2, E-3, H-1B, L-1, O-1 and TN if their employment suddenly ends during the period of petition validity. The 60-day grace period could be used by the individual to seek new employment in their current status if possible, change their status to a different classification, or make preparations to depart the United States without being considered out of status, like they would be under current law. The 60-day grace period would also apply to dependents of the principal employee. In addition, the regulation gives USCIS the ability to add 10-day grace periods before and after the validity period for individuals in E-1, E-2, E-3, L-1 and TN status. Current 10-day grace periods already are possible for individuals in H-1B, O and P classifications. Please note that these grace periods are subject to USCIS discretion and are not automatically given to every individual.

Q: Stream of integers I have the code:
int[] values = { 1, 4, 9, 16 };
Stream<Integer> ints = Stream.of(values);

which gives me compilation error. But:
int[] values = { 1, 4, 9, 16 };
Stream<Integer> ints = Stream.of(new Integer[] {1, 4, 9, 16});

doesn't give so. Why?

A: Because int[] and Integer[] is different types. First one is array of primitives, second one is array of objects with type Integer.
You can use IntStream.of(int[]) or Stream.of(Integer[])

A: A bit un-related, but the more correct way to do it would be :
Arrays.stream(values).boxed();

A: In the first example, you are passing an array of primitives ints to Stream#of which can take either an object, or an array of object. Primitives are not objects.
In the second example, it compiles becauses you pass in an array of Integer.
You can use IntStream#of which accept int arrays.

I sometimes work my birthday and sometimes don't. Jake is sometimes here and sometimes not. As he was, we both took the day off.
It was a beautiful day so after a lie in we headed to Battersea Park for a picnic and relax. We definitely had a lot more food than we would usually eat on a Thursday lunch but hey, it's my birthday.
move to the shade, it was sweltering and there was not much of a breeze. It was just nice to be reading our books and relaxing as it was nice and peaceful since most people were at work.
This heat wave that England has been having has been fantastic. I don't remember the last time we had such a nice summer. Really makes you want to get out and about.
We had a table booked for dinner at 6 and wanted to do a little shopping first therefore around 3pm we packed up and headed into own to get som aircon.
The clothes were for Brighton Pride which was the following weekend and I also managed to pick up a few extra bits for myself. Well it was my birthday.
You will note this gets used a lot.
Dinner was at Gordon Ramsey Bread Street Kitchen (https://www.gordonramsayrestaurants.com/bread-street-kitchen). I for one like watching Ramsery on TV. I find him quite entertaining and have always wanted to go to one of his restaurants.
It was everything I had imagined. We started with a great cocktail and then moved to our table. What was nice about this restaurant was that while it was high-end, it was relaxed and the food was amazing. Too many "posh" restaurants in London believe that just because they are expensive and just because famous people go there, they don't have to try and they make it too formal and skimp on the food quality.
I really wanted the desert therefore I skipped the starter and watched jake eat his. The bread basket was too nice though and I could not stop eating that.
Main was beef Wellington to share. It was full of flavour and we demolished it all. Didn't need the sides though and Jake paired it with a lovely red wine.
Too stuffed for desert they very kindly brought me a brownie with a candle in it and happy birthday written in chocolate. That's what I call a great restaurant. Does not cost them anything to do that but the memory and word of mouth recommendation goes a long way.
Thanks Jake for making it a really great birthday. His is in a month. I have a lot to live up to.

New IB to ATAR conversion in place from 2023
A perception of so-called grade inflation has been addressed, writes Fran Molloy.
Most Australian year 12 graduates receive an Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) which measures their school performance against that of their student cohort. But when last year's results came out, concerns emerged about a rise in 'perfect score' results from local students sitting the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, where IB results converted to the top ATAR of 99.95.
In NSW, the University Admissions Centre (UAC) converts the IB Diploma score into an ATAR-like combined rank value out of 100, funnelling results into the undergraduate course admission process which UAC conducts for most NSW and ACT-based universities.
In 2021, 2644 Australian students were among more than 170,000 students from 160 countries to complete the IB Diploma in year 12, all receiving a final score out of 45 for this rigorous course of study.
While the UAC receives the nitty-gritty of each HSC student's raw assessment and exam marks for each subject and then scales grades according to subject difficulty, until now the IB's less-nuanced, whole number score has avoided these post-assessment adjustments.
PERFECT 45 UNDER FIRE
The ATAR conversion process came under fire last year when more than 5 per cent of graduating Australian IB Diploma students received a 'perfect' 45 – achieving the top ATAR of 99.95.
Critics argue that because the IB Diploma is not scaled for subject difficulty, students receive overly generous selection ranks giving them an unfair advantage over HSC students also competing for university places.
That's all about to change. From next year, the IB will share raw data on IB Diploma student assessment results with UAC to allow for more accurate conversion to a selection rank.
Kim Paino, UAC's general manager, marketing and engagement.
"For several years, we have been consulting to our IB schools and to the IB organisation to develop ways to more fairly and equitably transfer the score [students] receive out of 45 from the IB into a numerical selection value between zero and 99.95 that looks like an ATAR, " says Kim Paino, UAC's general manager, marketing and engagement.
Paino says that agreements with the IB organisation around data sharing were in place more than a year ago and UAC was set to change the conversion method this year, but the switch was postponed to 2023 to lessen the impact on students affected by the pandemic.
COMPARING APPLES WITH ORANGES
The UAC performs a similar process with year 12 results from Australian residents attending schools interstate and internationally, Paino says.
"We do our best with the data we are given, so that we can give students the ranks that will truly reflect their achievement," she says.
Paino says that the UAC must "compare apples with oranges" to reduce student work across widely varying subjects into a single number.
In 2021, 82 per cent of students assessed by the UAC for an ATAR had just completed their NSW HSC – that's 54,841 students.
Of the remainder, 5 per cent of students had completed the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), 4 per cent had been awarded the HSC in the ACT and just 2.4 per cent had completed the IB Diploma.
Less than 1 per cent of students had studied either New Zealand's National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA), the Cambridge International Assessment (A Levels) or the Scholastic Assessment Test, aka the SAT, for college admission in the US.
COMPARING HSC AND IB
In NSW, IB Diploma-level study is not available in public schools, but at the time of writing is offered by 24 independent schools. The IB Diploma is designed to prepare students for university studies, while the HSC accommodates students with a broad range of post-school goals.
Unlike the HSC, where year 11 subjects are treated as 'preparatory' for the assessable results from year 12 performance, the IB allocates grades for work done in both years.
The HSC has one compulsory subject, English, and students have plenty of flexibility in their subject combinations, which can include vocational subjects (VET) which contribute to the HSC and a trade qualification. Some VET courses can also contribute to a student's ATAR.
IB students, however, have a prescriptive subject mix covering English, maths, the sciences, the arts, humanities and a foreign language. Students must also complete a theory of knowledge essay and participate in community service, physical activity and a creative endeavour.
A limited number of HSC subjects have in-depth and higher-level options, while nearly all IB subjects can be taken at either standard level (SL), involving 150 instructional hours over the two years, or higher level (HL), allocated 240 hours.
"While we publish as much detail as possible to make the process of ranking students' senior school results fairly, it is a complex exercise – which is why it is so prey to mythmaking," says Paino.
"But UAC's processes, ultimately, try to give students a level playing field and the chance to reach their university ambitions."

Australia to promote COVID-19 vaccine equity for developing countries
Australia will provide $80 million to the COVAX Facility Advance Market Commitment (COVAX AMC) to improve access to safe, effective and affordable COVID-19 vaccines for 92 countries in our region and around the world.
Countries eligible for vaccines from the COVAX AMC in the Pacific include Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, Kiribati, the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia.
Southeast Asian eligible countries are Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, the Philippines and Vietnam. In joining this unique collaboration, Australia will help to make sure that all countries have an opportunity to get access to a safe vaccine, not just those that can afford to purchase or manufacture one themselves. In making this investment, Australia joins AMC donors such as United Kingdom, Canada, Italy, Norway and New Zealand.
he COVAX AMC is part of the wider COVAX Facility set up by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), Gavi the Vaccine Alliance and the World Health Organization. The COVAX Facility will enable rapid and equitable access to vaccines for countries by pooling demand and purchasing power.
Eighty higher-income countries, including Australia, have submitted Expressions of Interest to participate in the COVAX Facility to gain access to vaccines for their domestic populations. These countries would finance their allocation of vaccines from their own public finance budgets.
Together with the 92 countries supported by the COVAX AMC, this group of 172 countries represents more than 70% of the world's population. During the first phase, the COVAX Facility aims to secure 2 billion doses, enabling vaccination of 20% of country populations, initially targeting health care workers and vulnerable groups. By adopting this strategy the COVAX Facility hopes to end the acute phase of the pandemic by 2021.
Further doses will then be made available based on country need, vulnerability and COVID-19 threat. The COVAX Facility will also maintain a buffer of doses for emergency and humanitarian use, including dealing with severe outbreaks before they spiral out of control.
CEPI is a global partnership launched in 2017 to develop vaccines against emerging infectious disease threats. CEPI is leading the COVAX Facility's research and development work, which aims to develop at least three safe and effective vaccines for countries participating in the COVAX Facility.
The COVAX Facility will draw on existing CEPI's agreements with the developers and manufacturers of nine potential vaccine candidates. Negotiations are already underway with a number of additional manufacturers not receiving R&D support from CEPI to procure their vaccines if they are successful.
Australia has long-standing investments in international medical research and development, in recognition of the importance of pandemic preparedness, including to CEPI. Funding from the Indo-Pacific Centre for Health Security has supported CEPI's development pipeline since 2018, and provided an extra injection of $7.5 million of funding announced earlier this year. This is because the health security of our region requires us to work together. Australia is investing in the COVAX Facility because our region's recovery needs everyone to be safe from COVID-19.

The Federal Emergency management Agency (FEMA) is performing new detailed coastal engineering analyses of the shoreline and coastal areas within the nine counties in the San Francisco Bay Area. The model output from the regional models is used to estimate wave run-up and over-topping along the Bay's myriad of shoreline structures and steep shorelines, as well as overland wave propagation over beaches, marshes, and inland developed areas. These onshore analyses will form the basis for potential revisions to the Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) and Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) within the coastal areas of the nine Bay Area counties. Coastal High Hazard Areas (Zone VE) will be mapped when supported by flood hazard modeling results.

ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
Jane Harman, Democrat of California, is the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee and joins us now. Welcome back to the program, Ms. Harman.
Representative JANE HARMAN (Democrat, California): Thank you, Robert.
SIEGEL: What, if anything, can you tell us about what you learned at yesterday's briefing?
Representative HARMAN: Well, I'm a member of the so-called gang of eight, so I have been briefed on this program since 2003, when I became ranking member on intelligence and joined this august club. Yesterday, for the first time, the other 18 members of the House Intelligence Committee had a chance to learn in more general terms, how the program operates. And I think it was an important moment for all of them. And also what was the beginning of a restoration of a respectful relationship between the White House and Congress on this critical intelligence capability.
SIEGEL: Do you think that especially the Republican senators broke the ice here? In that the word, the message was back to the White House, you're going to have to deal with Congress about this?
Senator HARMAN: Well I think they helped break the ice. I wouldn't want to deal out Democrats. I think many of us have, on a thoughtful basis, been raising the serious legal and constitutional issues about this program for some time. And in my case, I keep getting asked, well why didn't you say something during these gang of eight proceedings? Well if I wanted to go back and consult, let's say, a brilliant former general counsel of the CIA like Jeff Smith, I would've had to say, hey Jeff, I have some questions about how FISA works and was it really the exclusive way to handle eavesdropping on Americans in America? And he would say, oh why do you have those questions? And I'd say well there's this secret program. Huh-uh, couldn't do that. I couldn't get into the details. So, there's a better way. And that better way is what FISA contemplated. And that is to go to the full intelligence committees and say, this is what we are doing or hope to do. We want to make sure it complies with the law, and if it doesn't, we'll either change the law or change the program.
SIEGEL: But if the entire committee, Congressman Harman, is bound by security constraints, obviously, is oversight any more effective than in a gang of eight meeting when you...
Senator HARMAN: Absolutely.
SIEGEL: It is?
Senator HARMAN: But it's in an environment where the goal is to do research and check things out and exercise the capability of an independent branch of government. And when FISA was passed in 1978, on a bipartisan basis, the goal was to get each branch of government active to make absolutely certain, one, that we had the security tool that we need. But number two, that we were exercising those tools consistent with our Constitution. And we achieved that for many years. And we've got to get there again.
SIEGEL: I just have one other question for you. And that is this, this program as we've heard it described by the president, was aimed at people in communication with members of al Qaeda or I believe he said...
Senator HARMAN: Al Qaeda, or al Qaeda affiliates, yeah.
SIEGEL: Al Qaeda affiliates. The Administration, one of its aims in going to war in Iraq was that Iraq was connected to al Qaeda. It's taken a rather expansive view of who's affiliated with al Qaeda. What is al Qaeda here? I mean, is, is Hamas out of bounds for example? Are the Iraqis out of bounds?
Senator HARMAN: I can't answer that because those details are classified. But certainly you could imagine those questions are being probed. A sad irony is, it is very clear to me from the intelligence that al Qaeda was not in Iraq, but it is now.
SIEGEL: So that today Abu Al Sarkawi, for example, is a target for surveillance?
Senator HARMAN: Well, I'm not going to answer that. But I think it is a very important program. I deplore the fact that it was leaked. But I do welcome this break in the ice. And a very serious effort will be made to make certain that this program fully complies with the exclusive way to eavesdrop on Americans in America, which is the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
SIEGEL: Representative Harman thank you very much for talking with us today.
Senator HARMAN: Thank you.
SIEGEL: Jane Harman, the Democrat of California who is the ranking Democrat, the ranking minority member, of the House Intelligence Committee.

First Ebola case in Mali confirmed
The Malian government has confirmed the first case of Ebola in the country.
It said a two-year-old girl had tested positive for the haemorrhagic virus. Reports say she recently returned from the neighbouring Guinea.
More than 4,800 people have died of Ebola – mainly in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone – since March.
Meanwhile, an international team of scientists has been set up to determine the effectiveness of using the blood of Ebola survivors as a treatment.
Speaking on state television on Thursday, Malian Health Minister Ousmane Kone said the infected girl was being treated in the western town of Kayes.
She was brought to a local hospital on Wednesday and her blood sample was Ebola-positive, Mr Kone said.
The child and those who have come into contact with her have been put in quarantine.
The girl's mother died in Guinea a few weeks ago and the child was then brought by relatives to Mali, Reuters news agency quotes a health ministry official as saying.
Mali is now the sixth West African country to be affected by the latest Ebola outbreak – however Senegal and Nigeria have since been declared virus-free by the World Health Organization (WHO).
The WHO says 443 health workers have contracted Ebola, of whom 244 have died.


or, there is no way for me to send you a DM on here... so I will do it on PSN.
I wasnt the one who kicked you but I stand behind whoever did. Spamming clubs with pinatas is a way those who are angry with the club lag it out. All you had to do was tell people in club chat what you were doing so they could have participated and none of this would have been an issue. You're playing the victim when you single handedly caused the problem. Honestly I feel like your only goal here was to damage a good clubs reputation because you haven't talked to any of the leaders about what happened. Ashes is an amazing club full of wonderful people and getting kicked out is your loss.
Cy, the club itself is great but several of the senior members are like a mob with groupthink mentality. Not sure If I would even want to return if given the chance after what I just experienced.
It's OK though because they missed out on 200 Party Animals, 150 Autumn Pinatas, and 150 Winter Pinatas that were coming after the Celebratory Pinatas. Their loss.
Although I wish you would have communicated with me directly instead of use a public forum I will respond via your chosen method of communication.
I was not present for this occurrence but as you have stated you were throwing Celebratory Pinatas which are worthless and used to attack clubs with server lag. I was sent a screentshot of you throwing them underneath the hub in an area that most players do not know how to access. That paired with not saying you were throwing a party and not responding as you continued to throw hundreds of pins is why you were kicked.
I have messaged you over psn if you wish to discuss this further.
Hey everyone, I just released a new hub for Ashes!
In its current state it took over 1.3 million blocks and over 500 hours of pure detail building so if you get the chance please check it out!
I kept stats on the build which are located on signs on the middle of the hub.

Clean, simple pieces reign supreme in my jewelry box. The better to layer up with, my dear! Truth be told, I've been on the hunt for just the right long, y-chain for quite some time. So when MIDORI LINEA reached out to collaborate, I didn't hesitate.
Each detail of each piece is selected and constructed by creative director and founder, Sakura. She created her line starting with just one hand chain for her personal wardrobe. And while that has ultimately become her signature piece, the line now offers earrings, bracelets, foot chains and necklaces.
The Anya Y Necklace is a 14k karat gold filled chain. It's not too delicate but it does feel and look light. It's just really easy to style. You can wear it with a t-shirt and jeans or a wrap dress and heels. Wear it alone or stacked with other necklaces. All this versatility AND it's affordable!
What I really love about MIDORI LINEA though is their culture - they want you wearing their pieces "all day every day." So if you have an issue with your jewelry, they will repair and ship it back to you.
That is some serious care for your customers.
The MIDORI LINEA website relaunches on Nov. 16 with 70+ new designs handmade by Sakura. Make a purchase that day, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit victims of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.

Western Intervention in Syria? Not so fast..
Calls for a western intervention in Syria are growing. While I understand and share the concern of many regarding Assad's continuing campaign of murder, I do not believe that military intervention in Syria would be an appropriate strategy.
First, a direct military intervention would be far from easy. Unlike Gaddafi's weak military infrastructure, Syria possesses a formidable array of military capabilities. These include thousands of tanks and artillery pieces and hundreds of thousands of soldiers - the key units of which are ideologically attached to the Assad regime. Military intervention would require engaging and destroying these units. Such a mission would be complex, risky and would require a much more substantial coalition military force than that which was seen in Libya. Only the United States Military could carry out this operation. The pathetic European attitude towards foreign security policy - 'big talk, no kit' means that practical support from the EU would be almost non-existent. So.. in effect, if the US were to embark on an operation in Syria, it would be forced to commit significant military resources away from critical operations like in Afghanistan, while undertaking full practical responsibility for the evolution of 'post-action' events inside Syria.
Beyond the pure military complexities, a prospective US intervention in Syria also raises other major concerns. First, in the context of existing tensions, Iran would likely regard direct US engagement against Assad as constituting a direct threat to the Iranian regime. Combining this with the worsening Israeli-Iranian showdown, Iran's paranoid leadership might elect to go 'all in' to support Assad. Whether through supporting terrorist attacks against western interests around the world, mining the straits of Hormuz or sending a much greater level of military support to Assad, Iran would probably take a much more overt role in the conflict. Israel might also decide to launch an early strike on Iranian nuclear facilities (to offset future negative international concerns) thus increasing the likelihood of a situation in which every regional power alliance rapidly escalated towards war.
In another area, for Assad domestically, a US intervention would encourage the regime to portray the internal rebellion as a foreign project controlled for example by the 'Zionist puppets in Washington'. As well as weakening the rebellion's support amongst the fence sitters, this would also give Assad a pretext to dramatically increase his violence of action against domestic opponents. Assad's desire to portray recent terrorist attacks as a representation of the broader protest movement, suggests that the regime would jump at any opportunity to weaken the narrative of legitimacy that the current rebellion continues to expound. Put simply, American intervention might encourage Assad to use massive amounts of force in an attempt to finally annihilate those who challenge him.
I believe that there is a better route towards destroying Assad's regime. This approach should take the form of a dual track strategy.
First, the west should increase covert support to Syrian resistance cells. This should focus around provision of money to allow cells to fund logistical costs (like fuel, food and communications) and to build organisational structures that can contest Assad's forces more effectively. If possible, the west should provide insurgency advisers to help direct the resistance military strategy.
Second, the west should continue to draw attention to Assad's actions and their incompatibility with the arab spring. The west should aggressively highlight continued Chinese and Russian unjustifiable support for Assad's regime, while continuing to build regional pressure with allies like Turkey. The west along with democratic Turkey, should draw attention to the sickening hypocrisy of Iran and Hezbollah in the current fight. While the Iranian regime claims to have lead the region towards revolutionary empowerment, in reality, Iran's clerical leaders are supporting the murder of thousands of innocent civilians in order to maintain their grip of power over the Syrian people. Similarly, by supporting Assad, Hezbollah's narrative of 'emancipation for the oppressed weak against the power of the corrupt strong', is being rendered a transparent falsehood. At least in the case of Hezbollah, if sustained attention can continue to be brought against that group's relationship with Assad - a tipping point in which they break effective ties will probably become possible. As in Lebanon, Hezbollah is vulnerable to further negative attention.
The near/middle east is undergoing seismic shifts in state-society relations. Popular power sustained through cross-sectarian albeit uncertain alliances (Egypt's new parliament for example) will ultimately constitute the political future of the region.
In this regard, ultimately the current Syria-Iran-Hezbollah alliance is its own worse enemy. Honest publicity of this alliance is the most powerful weapon we have to oppose and break it.

Synthetic peptide within Human Tau aa 700 to the C-terminus. The exact sequence is proprietary.
WB: SH-SY5Y cell lysate. IHC-P: Human brain.
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab32057 in the following tested applications.
WB 1/5000. Predicted molecular weight: 79 kDa.
Ab32057, at a dilution of 1/500, staining Tau in paraffin embedded human brain sections by Immunohistochemistry.
lysate SH SY5Y cell lysate treated with Oka/CalA. Cells are serum-starved overnight, and then treated with 1nM calyculin A and 500nM Okadaic acid for 2 hours at 37°C.
Publishing research using ab32057? Please let us know so that we can cite the reference in this datasheet.
Our customer conducted weastern blotting using ab64193, ab32057.
He detected bands around25kDa not 52kDa(ab64193), 62kDa(ab32057) mentioned on datasheets.
He tried to alter many steps such as primary antibody titer, incubation time and diluent bufferto optimize this antibody.
But results were not changed.
Please comments or advice about size difference.
He almost used up his antibodies to optimizing conditions so, he would like to know if he can get samples.
Thank you for contacting Abcam regarding these antibodies.
I am sorry that your customer is experiencing difficulties with these antibodies in WB. Based on the protocol information and information we have about the protein, there does not seem to be a good explanation for why you are detecting a band at the incorrect molecular weigt, and importantly, at the same molecular weight.
I noticed that the customer has not performed a no primary control. Is the customer sure that the secondary antibody is working well and not the cause of background? I would advise performing this important control and considering testing another secondary antibody as well.
If the secondary antibody does not appear to be the cause of the problem, I am happy to offer a replacement or credit.
Why is there such a discrepency of the KDa of the detected target in this instanced?
Thank you for taking the time to call me yesterday. Ab30663 recognises the isoform of Tau around the 48KDa mark. My colleague has spoken with a friend who works in this field. It is well known within the field that blotting against the non phospho form of Tau will give multiple bands (ranging from 45-65 KDa) this represents multiple isoforms of the target. The dominant isoform (even the phospho forms) will vary depending upon the species and the stage of development (which is why the other Ab to the same target detects a different sized band). There is a good review on the dephosphorylation of Tau written by Hanger et al about ten years ago that would be of use to you in this field. I think the Pub Med ID is: 11447841; however if you search Hanger DP a whole list of suitable papers can be found. I hope that this helps. Should you have any further questions then please do not hesitate to get back in touch with me.

Predictions for Sunday's Ravens-Giants game
By The Baltimore Sun
Oct 13, 2016 | 11:00 AM
The staff was 0-7 last week, as everyone thought the Ravens would pick up a victory at home against the Washington Redskins.
With another NFC East team up this week, here's how writers and editors think the Ravens will fare in Sunday's 1 p.m. game at the New York Giants...
MARK SELIG (4-1 picking Ravens games)
Giants 24, Ravens 20
The Ravens will likely receive an immediate boost from a competent offensive coordinator. Even still, they will be the weakest offense the Giants will have faced to this point. Both quarterbacks have both captured Super Bowls (two for Eli), but considering either "elite" in 2016 is laughable. Expect the type of sloppiness that has defined Ravens games this year.
JEN BADIE (3-2)
Ravens 20, Giants 17
Yes, both of these teams are struggling, but Marc Trestman's firing might shake things up enough for the Ravens offense to step up. The offense has been anything but balanced (No. 2 in the league in average passing attempts at 43.4; No. 22 in average rushing attempts at 24.2), but we might see more of a commitment to the running game this week. Either way, it's bound to be another close one.
EDWARD LEE (3-2)
I was all set to pick the Ravens after researching Eli Manning's lack of success and getting a sense that the offense will play motivated after Marc Trestman's firing. But the Ravens have so many injuries to significant players, and Manning did not have Odell Beckham Jr., Sterling Shepard and Victor Cruz to terrorize the secondary. Maybe a visit to North Jersey next week will be kinder.
MIKE PRESTON (3-2)
The Ravens will play better this week, especially on offense because they have something to prove. It was coordinator Marc Trestman's fault they couldn't score touchdowns, not the players. Both franchises are established, and trying to get back to winning.
[More from sports] AFC North position rankings: Steelers, Browns will challenge Ravens for defensive supremacy »
PETER SCHMUCK (3-2)
The Ravens vertical passing game will open up, but not because they have a new offensive coordinator. It will be because the Giants have taken a "hands-off" approach to opposing quarterbacks this season. Joe Flacco will finally have time to carve up a secondary.
CHILDS WALKER (3-2)
These teams are both reeling after entering the season with high hopes. The Baltimore defense is the best unit in the match-up, but it's hard to pick the Ravens to win on the road right now given injuries to key players and the stumbling performance of their offense.
JEFF ZREBIEC (2-3)
The Giants don't scare anybody, but the Ravens are just a hard team to trust right now. To win on the road, you have to put up points and avoid mistakes. The Ravens haven't figured out how to do either of the two.

Local author promotes family literacy
Crystal St.Pierre
It will be an event for the books at the Spruce Grove Public Library on Jan. 27 at 1 p.m.
Local author Joan Galat will be participating in the family literacy event held at the library and said she is proud to participate in this event as she feels it is an important aspect of learning.
"Family literacy is vitally important," she said. "Fiction exposes readers to different viewpoints and builds empathy, while nonfiction introduces children to topics that may become lifelong interests. Since most of the writing we do as adults is nonfiction, it is essential to expose children to nonfiction early. This allows them to understand how factual information is presented, and build the logic needed to differentiate between genuine facts and information misleadingly presented as facts."
Galat explained her interest in writing began at the age of 12 when she was hired as a columnist for a newspaper.
Through her career she has been a freelance writer and editor, as well as published her book, Dot to Dot in the Sky, Stories of the Aurora.
"The reason I write what I write, books about the night sky, or ecology, trees, travel, or other topics, is that when I feel really excited about a subject or activity, like looking up at the aurora and knowing the stories ancient cultures told, I want to encourage others to know the fun of exploring these topics too," she explained.
Galat said finding what kids are interested in is the key to getting them to crack open a book.
"It's not enough to tell children they should read. Parents and caregivers need to show books are important by reading with their children, visiting books stores and libraries, and demonstrating that they are readers themselves. Library programs offer great opportunities to build literacy," she added.
This Friday Galat will be showcasing her book to those in attendance and hopes to spark the literacy bug.
"I often visit schools and libraries to share books and promote writing. My goal on Friday is to spark interest in reading science and show that reading books can lead to new adventures," she said. "There's a special book for every person. If you don't like to read, it's only because you haven't found the perfect book for you yet. It's every child's job to find that book, and every parent's job to make sure kids have access to books that will inspire their futures."

West Antarctica area named after a Graham
Home/Significant Places/West Antarctica area named after a Graham
Chieftain Richard Graham was inspired to learn more about Graham Land after his daughter Claire's father-in-law, who is a bit of a philatelist, came up with the stamp below which shows King George (the Queen's father). Graham Land is in Antarctica and is a dependency of the Falkland Islands, which Richard said is not threatened with a thinning of the ice cap (at the South Pole). The following are a few facts about Graham Land in West Antarctica.
Scotland may be far from Antarctica but the Grahams still have an impact in the South Pole with some land named after one of our family members. Graham Land is named after Sir James R. G. Graham, who was the First Lord of the Admiralty at the time of John Biscoe's exploration of the west side of the area in 1832.
The land is a portion of the Antarctic Peninsula which lies north of a line joining Cape Jeremy and Cape Agassiz, and it is part of the British Antarctic Territory. Graham Land is closer to South America than any other part of that continent.
According to the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, the description of Graham Land is consistent with the 1964 agreement between the British Antarctic Place-Names Committee and the U.S. Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names, in which the name "Antarctic Peninsula" was approved for the major peninsula of Antarctica, and the names Graham Land and Palmer Land for the northern and southern portions, respectively.

Talk with your childcare provider about adjusting your current routine (such as naptime) to help prepare your child for the new daily schedule.
Read books about kindergarten and encourage your child to talk about his/her feelings. • Participate in school open houses and information meetings. Help your child feel more comfortable and confident by knowing what will happen, where things are, whom she knows, and what to look forward to.
Meet with your child's teacher, especially if you feel your child may need individual attention or support.
Start a new bed time and morning routine a few days before school starts. A routine will help your child get the 10-12 hours of sleep needed.
Talk with your child about what you will each do on that first day. Consider sending a small visual reminder, such as a family photo to provide comfort.
Arrive at school early to give your child time to settle in. Remind your child about your plans for the end of the school day. Give a reassuring, cheerful, and short good-bye.
These books are recommended by the Nebraska Department of Education to help you get your child ready for and excited about their first day of kindergarten.

Do You Really Want to Make Money Online? Then READ This!
Hi guys, it's me again here to re-inspire you and put you back on the track of making legal money online from home.
Have you been struggling to make money online for some time now with little or no success? In this short article, I want to open your eyes to the reason(s) why you have not been successful in making money online.
It seems everybody goes frenzy at the hearing or reading of the words: make money online from home, which shows how lazy humans are and how much humans hate to work.
Yes, there is plenty money to be made online but not as easy as you think....even though it's simple.
Traffic means number of people interested in whatever you are saying, while monetization means the means through which you get money from these people interested in what you are doing online.
Now, in order for you to have people interested in what you do online, you must have an online presence and your presence must solve people's problems and challenges.
1. Need for love or romance - you can solve this problem of the people by providing them a nice dating and meetup website where lonely singles can go to find love and romance partner.
3. Need to know what is happening in their society - if you provide them a news blog or website with frequently updated current affairs, then you have solved this need for them.
4. Need for entertainment - if you can provide them an online platform where they can comfortably go to watch movies, comedy videos, skits, etc, then you have solved this need for entertainment.
5. Need to make money - if you can offer them an online platform where they can go to learn ways to startup a business, learn a trade, etc, then you have solved that need.
6. Employment need - if you provide them a platform where they can go to find list of current job opportunities to apply to, then you have solved their employment need.
Now, if you can solve of these peoples' daily life challenges begging for solution, using the internet as the platform, you are definitely going to make money even with little or no stress.
All you need to do is find a way to make people to gather, and you offer them paid solutions in the form of advert.
The more people you are able to gather together using your website, blog, application, etc, the more money you will make.
If you want an automatic system that will generate you money without you offering any value or solution to people, then you are on a long thing because you won't make any money. That's the bitter truth.
Now, if you want to make money online, think of humans' daily life challenges or problems, and think of a solution to any of those problems, and then find a way to offer solution to this problem using the internet, and make sure you are offering people genuine solutions to these problems, and watch how easy it is to make money online.
For those who have interest in micro niche blogging, you can send me a mail with the subject: MICRO NICHE BLOGGING.
In case you don't know what micro-niche blogging is, let me explain in brief.
Micro niche blogging is the fastest way to make money online from blogging because it is easy to build, rank and monetize.
As the name suggests, micro niche blogging focuses on a very micro topic in a whole niche.
For instance, Agriculture is a niche, and farming is also a niche in agriculture, now, instead of creating a blog in agriculture or farming, which requires a versed knowledge, it is easier to go for a smaller niche in agriculture like - snail farming, pig farming, catfish farming, cucumber farming, etc.
Choosing a smaller niche like catfish farming as a topic to build a blog on is a typical example of a micro-niche blogging.
Now, it is easier to build catfish blog, rank and monetize it than to build an agriculture blog.
If you want to make money from Google Adsense and Amazon affiliate program, then micro-niche site or blog is your best bet.
Now, if you want to start a profitable micro-niche blog that you can use to start earning between $50 - $3,000 monthly, simply send me a mail to: frankywealth@outlook.com with the subject: MICRO NICHE BLOGGING.
Note: you will need a start up capital of around $200. I will help you set everything up.
If you really want to earn online, you should try binary options trading. Find out about the best binary options brokers at CherryTrade review.

Home » Santo Antônio de Lisboa, Florianópolis
Santo Antônio de Lisboa, Florianópolis
Santo Antônio de Lisboa is one of the oldest neighbourhoods of Florianópolis in Santa Catarina, having been founded in October of 1751 but its colonization actually began around 1698.
The strong Portuguese influence of the Azores in Santa Catarina had started in Santo Antônio de Lisboa, which in addition to the neighbourhood is a district that includes the areas of Sambaqui, Barra de Sambaqui and Cacupé.
Buildings, like churches and mansions in Portuguese style and with Azorean characteristics, are scattered throughout the area, and it is a delight to walk around it.
And from the beach, you will have an incredible panorama, admiring the North Bay, the mainland and the famous Hercilio Luz Bridge.
What to visit?
– The old Customs Office, home where Dom Pedro II stayed while there
– Nossa Senhora das Necessidades Church, founded in 1756. Free admission
– Praça Roldão da Rocha Pires where is the first cobbled street of Santa Catarina.
– The beach, which is very beautiful but supposed to be not suitable for swimming.
– The Street Market, or as it is better known, Feirinha de Santo Antônio de Lisboa. There you will find books, clothes, jewellery, handicrafts, paintings and pieces made with billet lace, a technique inherited from the Azores culture.
Along the harbour, there are several gastronomic options. There are bars and restaurants for all tastes, and several of them have seafood as its main dish, being the oyster the most famous delicacy of the place.
Plus the most enjoyable thing is that several of them have their decks and porches over the beach. Do I need to say anything else?
Because it has so many restaurants located in both Santo Antônio and the neighbourhoods next door, the region ended up known as the Gastronomic Route of the Sunset.
And this name is due to the fact that the area has the most beautiful sunset in Florianópolis.
Too bad that every time I go there, it's kind of overcast and I can not see this sunset in all its splendour…
The neighbourhood is about 16km from the centre of the city, and I believe the easiest way is to drive there.
Despite having a well-integrated public transport, the distances between the beaches in Floripa are usually far, and the bus rides can be very time-consuming. Especially in the summer, when the city traffic gets very chaotic.
Some of the bus lines that go there are: 221, 230, 331 and 332 leaving from the city centre.
The executive line (leaving from the centre or vice versa) are 1120 towards Canasvieiras, 1121 towards Ingleses / Santinho, 1122 toward Brava Beach, 1125 toward Rio Vermelho, 1126 toward Cachoeira, 1127 towards Gaivotas and 1128 towards Mozambique.
And this company also does the rides there.
I guess there must be more bus lines that go to Santo Antônio, but I do not want to write here, as it is information that I'm not too sure about it.
