Pew Study Finds 43 Percent Of Black Americans Support Israel In Mideast Conflict
A survey by the Pew Research Center suggests that the current dispute between Israel and Palestine is drawing the highest level of Western "support" to the region since the 1970s, with 51 percent of Americans sympathizing with Israel. Among those supporting the country are a large portion of the Black and Hispanic populations. The survey, conducted between July 8th and July 14th, sampled 1,805 adults, found that 43 percent of Black Americans sided with Israel. Even though that figure is less than half, only 20 percent sided with the Palestinians, leaving 37 percent opting not to take sides. Only 44 percent of Democrats surveyed express support for Israel, and 41 percent of Hispanic Americans show support for the country over Palestine. Read more.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal Will Oppose Controversial Obama Nominee Michael Boggs
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) on Thursday became the latest Democrat to say he will vote against President Barack Obama's embattled judicial nominee Michael Boggs. "I feel I must oppose Judge Boggs' nomination," Blumenthal told The Huffington Post. Boggs, a Georgia state judge who is up for a lifetime post on the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, has been under attack for months from progressive groups and Democratic lawmakers over his socially conservative track record from when he was a state legislator. Among other things, he voted to keep the Confederate insignia on the Georgia flag, to ban same-sex marriage and to require doctors to post online their personal information and the number of abortions they performed.

MLB: Drug tests in 2003 don't taint everyone
By The Associated Press | |
February 23, 2009 at 12:00 a.m.
JUPITER, Fla. – Baseball union head Donald Fehr began his annual tour of spring training camps Monday with steroids back in the spotlight.
"Everybody understands that there were things which happened in the early part of the decade which we wish hadn't, that that's not the case anymore," Fehr said after meeting with Florida Marlins players.
"We fixed the problem and we need to look forward, as Bud has said many times."
Fehr said he didn't think commissioner Bud Selig will take disciplinary action against Alex Rodriguez, who admitted he used a banned substance from 2001 to 2003. Rodriguez confessed two days after Sports Illustrated reported he was on a list of 104 players who tested positive in the 2003 survey. Selig said Rodriguez shamed the sport.
Testing in 2003 was to be confidential. Fehr rejected the suggestion all players in 2003 are under suspicion because 104 of them tested positive.
Pitchers Curt Schilling and Brad Lidge are among those who have said all 104 players should be identified, but Fehr said the union will try to ensure the list of names remains confidential. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is considering the fate of the list and test specimens, which were seized by federal agents in April 2004.
Marlins camp was Fehr's first stop on a five-week tour of major league teams. He said no player has told him the seized list should be made public.
"The agreement we had was that information related to 2003 was supposed to be and should remain confidential, and we believe it should," Fehr said.
Marlins infielder Wes Helms, who hit a career-high 23 home runs for the Milwaukee Brewers in 2003, rejected the idea the positive drug results taint all players from that season.
"Not everybody in the game was doing it, so how can you say it was the steroids era?" Helms said.
He said he would favor identifying those who tested positive only if the names are going to surface the way Rodriguez's did.
"Two or three years down the road, if the 103 players are going to be leaked out in a way it shouldn't be leaked, I think the player would probably rather get it over with now," Helms said.
Test samples and records were supposed to be destroyed, but Fehr said the players' association didn't have enough time to make arrangements after the results became final Nov. 13, 2003.
Major League Baseball has left the appeal up to the union's lawyers, preferring to concentrate on the present.

Exchanging views and opinions between citizens is what democracy is all about. Whether it be in the town square from ancient times or today's online forums, a healthy engagement between vested interests is an important part of living together on this planet. Online forums can provide a place where we can learn from others, as they share their direct experiences. I remember my wife spent countless hours on natural birthing forums, prior to the birth of our children. Sometimes I would return home from work to be confronted by an emotional partner, who had been riled up by feisty exchanges online with other mothers. All in all, however, it was a positive inlet and outlet for my partner at the time. Online forums are great meeting grounds for change and for growth.
There are forums for all sorts of things, where participants are sharing their knowledge, asking questions and exchanging views and opinions. Of course, there are many people on these forums who are there to sell things or are employed by businesses who wish to market to a particular segment of the population. The internet is a mix of community and those plugging their wares or services to make money. This is not always a bad thing, as many people are interested in these products. Things like cruelty free skincare and makeup, click here to check out an example. Lots of niche markets need to know where they can access the best stuff at the best price. Online forums are great meeting grounds for change and opportunity.
Whether your interest is in organic products, natural medicine, or alternative stuff more generally, online forums can be incredibly helpful in sourcing knowledge about the things you are interested in. Check these out. Yes, it is very opinion-based information, more anecdotal than scientific in many cases, but if you can sift through the chaff, you might find the gold you are seeking. Others might be looking for a robust exchange of views and opinions. Online forums are, often, hotbeds of heated arguments and you need to know when to back away. Some people are never going to change their position on a matter and it is ultimately pointless to waste too much time and energy on these exchanges. Online forums are great meeting grounds for change, but that is not always going to happen with every individual.

In a country understandably on edge in light of soaring crime statistics, the sight of flashing lights in the rear view mirror can often be cause for concern. Given the spate of recent attacks using blue lights to deter motorists, the arrival of government, emergency and police vehicles on the road tends to incur panic and often results in reckless and irresponsible behaviour.
In reality, most flashing lights do in fact belong to legitimate official vehicles, many of whom are simply doing their job and tending to emergency situations. However, it's wise to exercise caution and vital that motorists understand both official protocols and their individual rights in any given scenario.
Any vehicle displaying a red or blue light (or a combination thereof), has absolute right of way (when it's safe to do so) in accordance with the National Road Traffic Act. Whether or not you doubt the legitimacy of the vehicle in question, you are required to give way as best as possible. In light traffic situations, this can simply be achieved by pulling over, but in high-congestion scenarios, your best bet is to nudge your car as far over to the verge as possible, without causing any danger to other motorists.
Remember that it's not for drivers to decide whether or not a vehicle is a legitimate government or emergency entity. Should you feel that said vehicle is acting outside its remit, your best bet is to jot down the number plate and report the car to the relevant authorities.
Should you be approached by a police vehicle attempting to pull you over, it's in your interest to exercise due caution, and to remember that you are not legally obliged to pull over should you feel in any way unsure of the situation.
The 'Blue Light Protocol' – a system introduced in 2013 to mitigate criminal incidents – affords motorists the option to proceed to a police station or public space before stopping. In instances where you are requested to pull over and you feel unsafe for any reason, it's important to remain calm, and slow down and activate your hazard lights so as to acknowledge police presence.
Thereafter, extend your arm outside the vehicle to indicate that you wish the police to follow you, and continue on at no more than 40km/h until you reach either a station or a well-lit filling station complete with CCTV surveillance.
Upon arrival at a police station, hoot until an officer comes to assist, and explain that you felt unsafe, ensuring you remain polite and co-operative at all times. Remember not to drive to your home or that of a friend, as you could be putting yourself and others in danger should the supposed police turn out to be criminals.
Ultimately, no vehicle has the right to force you off the road, but it's important to exercise discretion, courtesy and regard for safety in all scenarios. By remaining calm and following the rules of the road, you should be able to ensure that you and your fellow drivers emerge unscathed.

Home Storia militare Ecco l'animazione con tutti i bombardamenti alleati contro Hitler
Ecco l'animazione con tutti i bombardamenti alleati contro Hitler
The animation was created by the Imperial War Museum to mark the re-opening of the American Air Museum. It shows the progress of the Allied strategic bombing campaign against the Germans from 1939 to 1945. The map is designed to highlight way the Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Forces worked together. Bombing was essential to win the war for the Allies but has been criticised for killing thousands of civilians.
HUGO GYE per MAILONLINE del 15 marzo 2016
The progress of the Allied bombing campaign which helped to win the Second World War has been graphically illustrated in an extraordinary animation. The map pinpoints the exact location of every bombing raid by either the Royal Air Force or the United States Army Air Forces from the start of the conflict in 1939 until its end six years later. It vividly demonstrates the importance of the 1.6million tonnes of explosive deployed against the Nazis and their allies – and the way Britain and America collaborated in the war.
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vwf792GKqQ0[/youtube]
The animation was created by researchers from the Imperial War Museum in order to mark the re-opening of the American Air Museum in Duxford, Cambridgeshire. It is the first time the full extent of the Allies' strategic bombing campaign against Hitler has been documented in this graphic format.
The video shows how in the early years of the war bombing raids were deployed relatively seldom, becoming more important as the conflict went on. The US joined the war in December 1941, and from then on the RAF and the USAAF worked together to defeat the Axis threat in Europe.
VUOI SAPERNE DI PIU'? LEGGI STORIA IN RETE n. 47
The IWM graphic depicts RAF raids in blue and USAAF ones in red, demonstrating how the burden which was initially shouldered by Britain became increasingly shared by both air forces.
More than 80 per cent of bombing raids took place in the final 18 months of the war as the Allies advanced against Germany, recapturing France and then moving eastwards towards Hitler's capital of Berlin. A sudden flurry of bombs can be seen in the map in June 1944 – marking D-Day, when the air forces worked to support ground troops who landed on the beaches of Normandy in the action which decisively turned the tide of the war. The bombing campaign is often credited with winning the Second World War for the Allies – but the tactics were also controversial because they led to hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths, with British commander 'Bomber' Harris eschewing precision targeting in favour of area bombing.
The animation project was spearheaded by researcher Emily Charles, who pored over RAF and USAAF records to chronicle every single Second World War raid.
She told MailOnline that existing books which describe the raids often fail to give their exact targets, so she had to go back to the original documents to rediscover details of the missions.
Describing how the bombing raids ended up affecting most of Western Europe, she added: 'You look at the map and there's not much that's not covered in colour.'
The animation chronicles how the bombing started in France, spreading east towards the Netherlands and Germany before pausing in 1944 as the Allies prepared for D-Day, and then returning with a vengeance and sweeping in to Hitler's heartland.
An interactive version of the video as well as other animations will be available to visitors at the American Air Museum once it reopens on Saturday.
The museum, part of IWM Duxford, tells the story of collaboration between Britain and the US from 1918 until the present day. Among its other displays are aircraft used in the Gulf War and in the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as older planes from the Second World War. Around 30,000 US airmen were killed while serving in Europe during the war against Hitler.
Diane Lees, director-general of IWM, said: 'The transformed American Air Museum will tell the story of the relationship between Britain and America in very human terms. 'Personal stories come to the fore, vividly demonstrating the consequences of war in the 20th and 21st centuries.' Find out more about the American Air Museum at www.americanairmuseum.com – you can also contribute your own stories to be added to the website.

Monkey AIDS Vaccine Holds Promise for Us Humans, Too
Sam Biddle
While this is by no means a quantum leap for HIV treatment in humans, any AIDS progress is great AIDS progress. Especially when the progress is in our furry monkey relatives, who are responding terrifically to a new AIDS vaccine.
The vaccine, consisting of a genetically altered form of cytomegalovirus (CMV), prevented infection in 13 of the 24 rhesus macaques exposed to simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), the monkey form of HIV. Now, monkey HIV isn't HIV—and monkeys aren't humans. But good news for our genetically-similar cousins could be good news for us—the authors of the study, published in Nature, say it could "significantly contribute" to a human vaccine.
So what's standing between us and them? Safety. "CMV is not totally benign, it does cause a number of diseases. If you're giving people something you're not going to be able to get rid of should it cause problems, then that's quite a difficult risk to manage," explains one researcher. "I'm scratching my head how to take this approach into humans."
Still. As mentioned, good news is good news. Baby steps. Little monkey baby steps. [Nature via BBC]

So it worked in little over half the cases as a vacine? I mean, when it comes to AIDS a vaccine that works for any percentage of a given population is great, but hopefully with future research they can increase those cases.... and you know... make the leap from monkey to human.

Merseyside man appointed head gardener at Claude Monet's gardens in Normandy
A MERSEYSIDE gardener landed one of the most prestigious jobs in French horticulture.
James Priest, 53, from Maghull, was appointed head gardener at Giverny in Normandy – the former home of the Impressionist artist Claude Monet, who painted his famous waterlilies series there.
The appointment means that Mr Priest becomes a direct successor to Monet himself, who looked after every aspect of the garden until his death in 1926.
Mr Priest, who qualified at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew, said: "Monet is the factor that brings everyone here.
"It's an Alice in Wonderland Monet world and you have to capture the imagination of all these different nationalities who visit.
He added: "Monet would paint in layers and I think he made his garden in the same way."
Mr Priest takes over from Gilbert Vahe, the head gardener who was largely responsible for restoring the garden in the late 1970s from an overgrown wilderness to its former glory.
Mr Priest was hired initially for three years but ended up staying for 17 years.
He said he first saw the work of the Impressionist painters when he visited Paris as an 18 year-old student.
He said: "I like art with emotion.
"I work a lot on emotions; my gardens must speak to people of all nationalities."
He will take over the running of the garden on June 1.
Monet started to create his flower-filled garden when he moved to Giverny in 1883, refining it over 43 years until his death there in 1926.
He originally planted flowers so that he could pick bunches to have something to paint indoors on rainy days.
Some of his most famous paintings were his huge canvases of the waterlilies on the small lake he had made at Giverny, with its green, Japanese-style footbridge draped with wisteria in the spring.

Cannabis Stocks Technical Analysis provided on Strain Insider is for information purposes only. Signals that are given in this article are solely based on probabilities. Every trading and investment move involves risk, you should conduct your own research when making a decision. Strain Insider and its authors are not accountable for any trading decisions you make.
Cannabis stocks have proven to be a highly promising investment and trading vehicle during 2018. With stock prices that increased by up to four-digit percentages and the improvements of medical and recreational cannabis legislation around the globe, the legal marijuana industry can be considered as one of the most promising in the world. In this weekly technical analysis series, Strain Insider aims to provide an outlook on five of the most relevant cannabis stocks.
This week's piece features Aurora Cannabis Inc., GW Pharmaceuticals Plc., Tilray Inc., Cronos Group Inc. and Canopy Growth Corporation.
Canadian cannabis producer Tilray was sitting at $116 last week and tried to break the resistance at $118.35. Like previously assumed, it was rejected from the golden ratio which resulted in a 15 percent loss. Having said that, Tilray is about to find its support between $99.66 and $95, where it is likely to bounce off. It's currently forming a falling wedge which will act as the next support if the current support fails to hold.
Aurora Cannabis Inc. dropped by 12.24 percent since our last analysis, which resulted in a quick recovery of 11.55 percent because of the support zone between 5.15 and 5.5. So far, the support is holding and, due to the bounce, the price formed a lower low while the RSI is performing a higher low, which is indicating a bullish divergence, making an increase in price very likely. The next resistance is between $7.74 and $8.41 and, since the support held so far, we might see a re-test of the resistance which makes a growth by 47 percent possible.
With it being evaluated at $33.56, Canopy is exactly where it was the week before. However, it tried to break the resistance and faced rejection, taking an 8.93 percent loss into account. With a series of higher lows in the smaller time frames, it seems likely that it will do a re-test on the resistance again. An increase of 2 to 10 percent seems likely before it faces rejection in the resistance zone. While the trendline is acting as an additional support, the next support zone underneath is between $24.50 and $26.50.
The price of Cronos didn't change much during the last week. Cronos is still engaging with a strong resistance between $8.86 and $10. With it currently sitting at $9.15, it still has an upward growth potential of about 10 percent before a rejection by the resistance gets very likely, since the RSI is about to face a resistance at this point too. However, if it breaks through, the price could climb to its most recent high at $12.94 and if it doesn't, the trendline will still act as a major support.
GW Pharmaceuticals had quite a calm week, with a maximum volatility of a little less than 12 percent. It acted as suspected in the previous technical analysis and dropped five percent to the trendline support, where it then bounced 8.3 percent to the upside. Since then, it is ranging between the resistance at $128.5-$130 and the trendline support.
That being said, the trendline still acts as a major support and, because it previously held, the uptrend is still intact. Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) picked up some steam this week and is currently sitting at 39, two points higher than in the previous week. It's likely that we will see some upward movement. However, we might see a re-test to break the resistance.
In comparison to the cannabis stocks, the S&P 500 index had a bullish week so far, increasing by 3.24 percent.
Moreover, at the time of writing, and according to the global market capitalization on Coinmarketcap, Bitcoin slightly recovered about $600 from its recent drop to around $3500 and is currently sitting at $4100.

TEN Atlantic City Receives $220 Million Offer, But Owner Glenn Straub Knows Nothing About It
Posted on: July 14, 2017, 10:00h.
Last updated on: July 14, 2017, 09:21h.
TEN Atlantic City owner Glenn Straub claims he's unaware of a $220 million offer to acquire his shuttered Boardwalk resort, despite media reports that a bid has indeed been made.
Glenn Straub might soon be packing his bags and boarding his yacht back to Florida, after a firm reportedly made a substantial offer for his TEN Atlantic City resort. (Image: David Maialetti/Philly Inquirer)
The Press of Atlantic City says an unnamed private equity firm in New York City is trying to purchase the former $2.4 billion Revel Casino, which Straub bought in bankruptcy court in August of 2015 at the discounted price of $82 million.
"I don't know any private equity firms," Straub told the paper.
Straub, a Florida-based real estate developer, hasn't made many friends in the Garden State. He's repeatedly bashed government gaming agencies in Atlantic City, and said New Jersey consistently tries to "rape businesses."
He's missed multiple self-imposed deadlines to open the 1,399-room hotel, refused to participate in the casino PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) program, and argued that he doesn't need to obtain a gaming license because he plans to lease the floor to a licensed third-party.
New Jersey Superior Court Judge Julio Mendez placed a tax lien on TEN Atlantic City last month for Straub's failure to pay $62,000 in Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA) fees.
Straub vs. New Jersey
Since Straub took control of TEN, his ownership motives have been questioned by many of New Jersey's most powerful individuals. Governor Chris Christie (R) said recently that he hopes Straub sells the resort, because "this guy" simply "hasn't been able to deliver."
Casino Control Commission (CCC) Matthew Levinson has rejected Straub's claims that the city is working against his efforts to reopen the casino. The gaming regulator said Straub is trying to mislead people, and simply needs to play by the same rules that the rest of the casinos play by.
While Straub is staying quiet on the private equity purchase rumor, he did tell the Press of Atlantic City that if the CCC doesn't budge in allowing him to open the casino without himself personally holding a license, "Maybe we will have to look for someone else."
Straub's Grand Plan Revealed?
The Atlantic City economy is showing signs of life, and at the very least has stabilized after enduring nearly a decade of trouble that saw five casinos close. Year to date, revenues at the seven remaining casinos are up more than 11 percent when the closed Trump Taj Mahal's 2016 income is eliminated.
With earnings climbing, Caesars recently invested $30 million in upgrades at Harrah's. Caesars is also reportedly working on a new joint venture with MGM Resorts. Meanwhile, Hard Rock is spending $500 million to transform its recently purchased Taj Mahal into a rock 'n' roll-themed property.
As investments return to Atlantic City, Straub's possession of the most recently built resort might now deliver the businessman a substantial return.
While it's unclear exactly how much he has in the property, it's relatively safe to assume that it's far less than the $220 million he's being offered. With a proposal on the table that would make Straub's time in New Jersey worth the trouble, Revel's next chapter might soon be told.
More Revel Atlantic City Sale Rumors Emerge, Owner Glenn Straub Continues to Deflect


Life is hurried. Often we are rushed.
We invite you to take a few moments of quiet time with this month's reflection.
Ideally, the reflection should be read slowly and prayerfully, taking time to absorb the meaning of the words and to respond in quiet prayer. Reread it as often as you find helpful.

"Pieces are in place" for West Virginia to increase the number of students earning college degrees
February 4, 2011 - Volume 31 Issue 7
"The wide world is all about you; you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot fence it out." – J. R. R. Tolkien (1892-1973), British writer and author of the richly inventive epic fantasy, The Lord of the Rings.
By Patrick Crane
In West Virginia, for every 100 high school freshman, only 17 will earn an associate's or bachelor's degree within 10 years.[1] Approximately one-quarter of those 100 students will drop out of high school. Thirty students will graduate from high school, but will not enroll in college. Of the 43 students that do go to college, only 28 will return for their sophomore year. Of those 28 that return, roughly 60 percent of them will earn their college degree within five more years of study.
This data, prepared by the National Center on Higher Education Management Systems, helps illustrate where some of the leakages are in the education pipeline in West Virginia, and around the country, with the greatest number of students leaving the system before high school graduation and in the transition to college.
West Virginia ranks 35th in the country in terms of moving students through from ninth grade to college completion, with a national average of 20.5 college graduates for every 100 ninth-graders, and a range that goes from 32 college graduates per 100 ninth-graders in Massachusetts to single digits in Nevada and Alaska.
"Leaks in the education pipeline."
The leaks in the education pipeline, combined with higher out-migration of college graduates than in-migration has caused West Virginia to be the state with the lowest percentage of its population with a bachelor's degree or above, 17.1 percent compared to a national average of 27.5 percent and a regional average of 25.3 percent.[2]
20,000 new jobs will require some "advanced training."
Increasing the number of West Virginians with high quality certificates and degrees is essential to the economic and social future of the state. Many of the jobs that used to be available for those with a high school diploma now require advanced training and skills. A recent study by labor economists at Georgetown University suggests that by 2018, 20,000 new jobs in West Virginia will require some amount of college education and 49 percent of all jobs will require some advanced training beyond high school.[3]
Not only is education important for economic competiveness, but research has shown that higher levels of education are correlated with better health, lower levels of criminal activity, and higher levels of civic participation.
President Obama, with support from other political leaders, has set the goal of bringing the United States back to its former position as the country with the highest proportion of college-educated citizens.
"Significant progress" made toward increasing workforce education levels.
Reaching that goal will require the United States to increase the proportion of Americans with college degrees and certificates to 60 percent or greater. We are currently, and have been for many years around 40 percent. In West Virginia, significant progress has been made in increasing the education level of those entering the workforce. Census data shows that while only 25 percent of West Virginians age 55-64 have an associate's or bachelor's degree, 34 percent of 25- to 34-year-olds have a college degree.[4]
As we can see from the data on the educational pipeline, there are a number of challenges to increasing the number of college graduates in West Virginia. One important task is to make sure students and families have the information they need to make informed decisions about where to go, what to study, and how to pay for their education.
CFWV.com.
In order to provide easier access to this information, the website for the College Foundation of West Virginia, cfwv.com, was launched in October 2009. The website enables middle school students, high school students, and adults to explore college and career options, apply to college, and find financial aid.
Providing this information is especially important because many students and parents do not know what it costs to attend college or how much federal, state, and institutional financial aid is available to them. Since it was launched, over 50,000 individuals have created profiles and over 22,000 college applications have been submitted through the website.
Remediation.
Once students are enrolled in college, they need to start taking college level courses as soon as possible. Currently, 29 percent of all students who enter West Virginia colleges need some amount of developmental education, and the number rises to 62 percent in the community and technical colleges.[5] The faster students can move into credit bearing classes that count towards graduation, the more likely they are to graduate. To make the transition from high school to college smoother for students and to decrease the need for developmental education, representatives of the West Virginia Department of Education and the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission have begun meeting to better align the expectations of high school and college level educators. Work has also been taking place at both two- and four-year institutions to redesign developmental education courses.
Adult Learners.
In addition to the traditional age students that enroll in college after high school, special attention needs to be paid to the 173,000 adults with some college but no degree in the state. In order to help these students finish their degrees, the Higher Education Policy Commission created the RBA Today program to identify these adults and provide information about this flexible, accelerated degree program for adults. The Commission was also successful in applying for competitive grant funds from the Lumina Foundation for Education to help develop programs and courses that provide greater support to adult learners who would like to finish their degrees.
College Completion Task Force.
Finally, to increase awareness of the issue, Higher Education Policy Commission Chancellor Brian Noland and James L. Skidmore, Chancellor of the Community and Technical College System of West Virginia, have put together a College Completion Task Force, chaired by West Virginia University President James Clements and Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College President and First Lady Joanne Tomblin.
This group will bring together business, labor, faculty members, K-12 representatives, college administrators, and students to help develop goals and strategies for meeting the challenges of increasing college completion rates.
"Pieces in Place."
Although there is a long way to go, the pieces are in place for West Virginia to dramatically increase the number of students that are earning college degrees and certificate. Continued collaboration between educational agencies, clear goals, and targeted programs to reach those goals will help strengthen the state moving further into the 21st century.

Even low blood lead levels are associated with gout
Gout, which has been called "the disease of kings," is associated with the lifestyle that most people in the industrialized world enjoy these days. It will affect about 1-2 percent of adults in richer countries at one point or another over the course of their lives, which have lengthened considerably since the days when kings were the rule rather than the exception. About half of all cases of the painful arthritic condition occur in the big toe.
Lead exposure has long been known to be strongly associated with susceptibility to gout. But in a new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine, Stanford rheumatologist Eswar Krishnan, MD, and his colleagues used data from an annual federal health survey, the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey, to show that the risk of gout increases even at very blood levels of lead – about one-twentieth of that considered to be "elevated" under current standards promoted by organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization.

A Unified Theory of Social Change
Here's the plan in three parts: First set daring, breathtaking, Apollo-like goals and deadlines for each problem we aim to tackle. Not 50 years off. Not 30 years off. Dates that people working today will still be around to be held accountable to.
Second, collaborate and communicate like there's no tomorrow, using the collective impact modelthat brings all community players together, and aligns them on goals, and holds them accountable. And third, bring economic freedom to the nonprofit sector by employing multiplication philanthropy — that is, by investing in fundraising to dramatically increase the capital available to solve huge problems.
Gigantic goals, collective impact, and the liberation of the sector to achieve both. Converge those three things into one another like atoms in a particle accelerator and Boom! the world will start to change.

Most conversations about changing the world eventually degenerate into despair or, after a hands-in-the-air «well, anyway…» segue, they lapse into a conversation about something more practical or pressing. That's because most discussions related to big change are about tactics rather than strategy at the scale of the question — and nothing's more depressing than a tactical discussion when a strategic one is required. It creates the illusion of impossibility; makes us feel like we're no match for the huge social challenges facing us. We start to doubt that they can actually be overcome.
If we want to change the world, we need a strategic plan. So here it is. Continuar leyendo «A Unified Theory of Social Change»

Do We Retire at 65? An Innovation Story
Here's an interesting question:
Why is the Retirement Age 65 in most developed countries?
I'll give you a second to think about it. Or google it.
Here's a hint: the retirement age of 65 was first selected in 1880.
Here's the answer: the retirement age was set at 65 because when it was first introduced by Otto von Bismarck, hardly anyone lived that long. Here's a quick rundown on that:
The age of 65 was originally selected as the time for retirement by the "Iron Chancellor," Otto von Bismark of Germany, when he introduced a social security system to appeal to the German working class and combat the power of the Socialist Party in Germany during the late 1800s. Somewhat cynically, Bismark knew that the program would cost little because the average German worker never reached 65, and many of those who did lived only a few years beyond that age. When the United States finally passed a social security law in 1935 (more than 55 years after the conservative German chancellor introduced it in Germany), the average life expectancy in America was only 61.7 years.

As China Ages, Marketers Must Take Note
Earlier in the day I went through the current statistics and demographics for China through 3 different infographics. This is a build-up to this article for marketers who wish to expand into the Chinese economy. A recent Nielsen report states that, marketers must evaluate their portfolios carefully prior to expanding in China.
From what we can see, there are a couple of brands, targeted to different demographic groups, or those that work well other less-developed nations may struggle in China. This could be due to their one-child policy and other core changes in the Chinese society.
One-Child Policy
Since the institution of the above policy in 1979, there has been a reduction of births by over 250 million. Population growth in China has been falling every year from 3% in the 1960s to an estimated fall below 0.5% per year by 2017. The United Nations predicted that China will stop growing entirely by the year 2032. On top of that, by around 2028, India will surpass China in population and become the world's largest economy.

Shepparton Motor Museum Classic Car Auction
In the sprawling Goulburn Valley, synonymous with great food, wine, waterways and weather, lies a motoring enthusiasts dream – the Shepparton Motor Museum & Collectables. At any given time, over 100 cars are housed within its walls from classic, vintage and veteran to motorbikes and memorabilia. Items are drawn from private collections, donations and restorers and the museum consistently has a variety of themed shows.
The museum holds featured events throughout the year, the latest being its Annual Motor Show in February of this year which drew in phenomenal crowds. Last year, a lunch with Bathurst legends Alan Moffat, Fred Gibson, Bryan Thompson and John Mann was held. The museum is heavily involved with its surrounding community – obvious from its involvement in charity drives, a long list of sponsors and its growing popularity.
Their association with past motoring legends and ability to gain unique and valuable vehicles make this museum a renowned destination and ultimate paradise for car enthusiasts.
Lloyds Classic Car Auctions offer some of Australia's rarest and most desirable collectable cars for sale. Having set several Australian records recently, Lloyds deliver staggering results in a unique simulcast format – proving that both the muscle and classic car markets are alive and booming. Some phenomenal cars that have gone under the hammer so far include a Rolls Royce Silver Cloud, A9X Torana's, 66 Fastback Falcon, 1975 Chrysler New York, Bentley's, Lamborghini's, Corvette's and Cobra's. You can now buy and sell rarities such as these with full confidence in the transparent Lloyds auction model.
Although based in Queensland, Lloyds have ventured interstate previously with enormous success. After a rare Brabham Formula race car auction recently attracted international attention to a barn find in the Byron Bay hinterland, Auctioneer and self-confessed classic car enthusiast Bill Freeman says he's looking forward to taking the Lloyds show on the road again. "Shepparton is famous for its motor and truck enthusiasts. It's only fitting that we make Shepparton one of our annual auction events and Shepparton Motor Museum could not be a better venue to hold it in. Lloyds Auctions has a strong following from across the Goulbourn valley and in preparation for this event we have found some amazing cars in garages and sheds that will be up for auction on April 29th with all bidding starting at one dollar."
A well-known 1978 Bedford "Mr Whippy" van that has called the Shepparton Motor Museum home for several years will be offered at auction. Before being purchased for the museum the van was driven as a fundraiser from Bundaberg to Geelong by Channel 7's Sunrise Weather crew in 2014, raising funds for retired SAS soldiers, QLD farmers & Cancer research as part of 'Tour de cure'.
Our inaugural "Shepp Classic" auction event will be held on Saturday 29th April at the Shepparton Motor Museum just off the Goulburn Valley Highway. The event will include over 50 Classic Cars including a GT500 Shelby Mustang, 1911 Armstrong Whitworth, SLR 5000 Torana as well as Holden Monaros, a Torana Hatch and Ford Torino Talladega. Bidders are encouraged to inspect vehicles before the live broadcast commences and hammer drops at 12 noon on Saturday April 29th.

Комитат e наименование на административна териториална единица, управлявана от комит, използвана в различни държави през различни епохи, включително в България през IX век. Произхожда от титлата comes, носена от висши сановници и от командири на областни военни контингенти в късната Римска империя, Карл Велики я възприема от Византия за своя двор, където тя започва да се произнася и като конт - граф.

В Унгария
Комитатите са традиционни за Унгария в периода от XI до XIX век административни единици. Названието комитат се е запазило в този смисъл. В международната литература то е синоним на медие (унг.: megye) – окръзите, на които е разделена съвременна Унгария.

В средновековна България

Наличието на комитати или на комити в България през ранното Средновековие е засвидетелствано в историческите извори за времето на владетелите Пресиан, Борис I, Симеон и Петър I (IX-X век). Става дума за чуждестранни (гръцки, латински, арабски) източници, които може би не използват оригиналното название на областите в България. В "Закон за съдене на хората", правен документ от разглеждания период, се говори за "земи", а не за "комитати".

Българските "комитати" се споменават в западни хроники от втората половина на IX в., в които се разказва за бунт на болярите от десет комитата срещу княз Борис I, избухнал през 866 г. като реакция срещу покръстването:

Колко точно на брой са комитатите по времето на Борис е трудно да се определи, но се приема, че те не са много повече от десет. Въпросът кога и как са формирани комитатите е също обект на научни дискусии. Предполага се, че те са елемент от централизираната административна уредба, която през IX век окончателно измества от власт местните славянски князе. Канът (впоследствие царят) определя управителите на комитатите (комитите) и чрез тях си осигурява по-голям контрол върху отделните области на държавата. Спорно е при кой владетел става промяната. Известно е, че реформите в управлението на българската държава са започнати от Крум. Теорията на Иван Венедиков, че първият български комитат е с център Средец (днешна София) и е създаден от Крум, е оспорвана. Критиците ѝ се придържат към схващането, че първите комитати са образувани при Омуртаг в северозападните и североизточните български територии в отговор на политическите предизвикателства в тези региони: бунтове на славяните на северозапад и голям брой заселени на североизток византийски пленници.

Един от историческите извори, споменаващи комити и комитати, е разказът на архиепископ Теофилакт Охридски (живял през XI-XII век) за Петнадесетте тивериополски мъченици. Теофилакт описва как българският комит Таридин пренася по нареждане на своя господар (Борис I) мощите на трима от светците (Тимотей, Комасий и Евсевий) в църквата в средището на областта си Брегалница. От това и други сведения се извежда предположението, че административната и църковната организация в държавата на княз Борис и наследниците му са тясно свързани, като към задълженията на комитите спадат построяването на школи за свещеници и пренасянето на реликви. Подобно на Таридин постъпва и неговият наследник комит Дристър, който по заповед на цар Симеон I пренася в Брегалнишката църква мощите на струмишките светци Сократ и Теодор. Комит Дристър участва в присъединяването на Егейска Македония към България, което се потвърждава от Наръшкия надпис. Друг известен комит е Домета, който е управител на областта Кутмичевица при Борис I. Освен комитите представители на централната власт през IX-Х век са и тарканите (висши военни). Правораздаването е поверено на съдии, обособени от комитите.

Warren Makes Stunning Claim on Afghan Evacuation: 'They Left No American-Owned Equipment Behind'
Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massassachuttes made shocking comments about Joe Biden's botched withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
Appearing on the left-wing outlet MSNBC, Warren said evacuation "was actually an amazing undertaking" where "our military was able to get about 124,000 people out."
"They left no American-owned equipment behind," she continued.
"We should be proud of President Biden and proud of our military," she said.
Host Lawrence O'Donnell asked, "What was your takeaway from the hearing about the evacuation from Afghanistan?"
Warren said, "That it was actually an amazing undertaking. It was done under chaotic circumstances."
"Because the government had collapsed. Because the army had melted away, the Afghan Army, and that, even in the midst of all of that, our military was able to get about 124,000 people out."
"They left no American-owned equipment behind. They managed to execute that. And, yes, it was at risk."
"We lost a young woman from Massachusetts. I'm working now on trying to get the Congressional Medal of Honor for the people who we lost right at the end."
"But we knew it was a risky undertaking and the military performed. We should be proud of President Biden and proud of our military," she concluded.
The U.S. supposedly "demilitarized," or rendered useless, nearly 170 pieces of equipment in Kabul.
Despite this statement from the U.S. Central Command, there has been video and photo evidence of the Taliban operating U.S. equipment left be
This includes 70 MRAPs and 23 Humvees – military vehicles – and 73 aircraft.
"Those aircraft will never fly again," General Kenneth "Frank" McKenzie said. "They'll never be able to be operated by anyone. Most of them were non-mission capable, to begin with, but certainly they'll never be able to be flown again."
However, disturbing footage showed the Taliban flying seized US Black Hawk helicopters over Afghanistan. It appears that a person is suspended below as the helicopter flies around.
Immediately after the last U.S. plane left, footage shows the Taliban taking over the Kabul airport.
They celebrated with gunfire after the last American left. The Taliban "joyously fired guns into the air," according to Agence France-Presse. BBC News also broadcasted the footage of gunfire.
Another video shows them entering a hangar with equipment the US military left behind.
A US general said this equipment is "permanently disabled" and can "never be used again."
However, this footage is causing widespread speculation about whether the equipment is, in fact, permanently disabled.
The Talib Times tweeted, "At this time, the Islamic Emirate's air force helicopters are flying over Kandahar city and patrolling the city."
Someone is clearly seen hanging below the chopper as it hovers in the sky. Initially, it was unclear exactly how he is attached or if he is alive, NY Post notes.
According to the BBC, the video does not show a man hanged from the helicopter.
Upon closer examination, the person hanging below the helicopter is alive with their hands raised. The Black Hawk is equipped with rescue hoists.
"Several Afghanistan experts, quoting Taliban sources, have told the BBC that the flight yesterday was an attempt to fix a flag over a public building using their newly-captured US-built equipment," the report says.

Fusion Global Payroll: Enhancement Request - Is it Possible to Update Element Currencies After Element Creation?
It is now not possible to update/correct the input or output currency after the element has been created. This was possible before.
There are employees reporting to one country but paid in a different currency (ie Employees reporting to a UK LDG but paid in Zambian Kwacha). When creating the element user can set the input currency but not the output currency. Previously it was possible to create the element in a LDG as of 01-01-1951 with a different input currency (then the one for the LDG) and then update the output currency as of 01-02-1951 with the different currency.

We are making steps towards improving processes in HR and trying to make hiring a student more seamless for both the student and the supervisor! As you may need to hire students towards the close of this semester please use the new forms on the intranet for the Student Employment Contract, Student Extended Summer Contract, Student Pay Increase and Student Separation Form. As of December 17, we will no longer be accepting the old student employment agreement and will only accept the Student Employment Contract in order to keep up with the California labor code requirements.
The minimum wage increase at the end of the year for students does not require a Student Pay Increase form as we will make sure everyone who qualifies receives the minimum wage increase and appropriate legal notice.
We have updated the Student Employment Agreement, the supervisor and student responsibilities, and the general safety guidelines to be one contract instead of 3 separate sheets! We have also included labor code language that is required in the state of California.
You will soon be seeing these forms in electronic form which will make it even better; however, until then please use the forms on the links provided.


Posted November 2, 2006 in Accessibility, Browsers.
There are several options available for increasing the apparent size of web pages, from simple increases in text size, to full screen magnification. Focusing on browsers, I'll examine what options suit different people, and what implications this can have for web development.
Unfortunately, vision does not fit into easy categories. I'll consider it a continuum for the purpose of looking at the types of magnification (i.e. from 20/20 vision to almost blind), just be aware that things like tunnel vision and colour blindness do not sit within the continuum.
There are two main types of 'zooming' function available in browsers: Magnification (a general increase-everything zoom), and Text zoom (increasing the font size). Neither of these are particularly well known amoungst regular internet users, but either can be helpful for a great number of people.
IE6's text-zoom may seem somewhat limited, but in general use on different web sites its larger setting is reasonable, especially if you use its accessibility settings to ignore specified font sizes. For those with mild visual impairment (e.g. me without my glasses), it is usually adequate.
There are two main problems stemming from how sites have been developed: inflexible sites, and text within images.
Sites which are not designed with flexibility in mind can be a nightmare for people with mild to moderate visual impairments. The opposite approach is to allow for flexibility, which Dan Cederhom coined as Bulletproof web design.
This aspect of accessibility is covered in WCAG as using relative fonts, currently missing from WCAG V2.
The outlined text is an image, with text at about 6 pixels high, the second paragraph is the large size within IE6. No matter what settings you select in the browser, a text-zoom will not expand image-text.
The example is from the CSS Zen Garden, and as a site intended to demonstrate CSS designs, the methods used are understandable and for some designs necessary. However, I wouldn't use image replacement techniques for general-public sites.
Using images for text is covered in use markup rather than images to convey information. The advantage of the image replacement technique is that (theoretically) the user can turn of the styling and get regular text. However, that is of little comfort to most people who don't know how.
The IE team made a big deal about the IE7 zoom function, and the way it increases images looks great. It doesn't just increase the size and create a large pixelated version of the image, it effectively re-sizes the image in a similar way to a graphics program, smoothing the image.
But the main disadvantage I've found with IE7's zoom is that it often introduces horizontal scrolling, especially on sites using a liquid design. IE7's style zoom would be useful for people on high-resolution monitors bumping up sites that have fixed their design at 800px wide, but it is not useful on sites with a larger width or a flexible width.
Opera on the other hand employs a kind-of max-width, at least up to a point. The IE team is aware of this shortcoming, and it should be fixed in the next version of IE. Given that good CSS support is relatively new to IE, it could be hard work as the zoom functionality is probably closely tied with the rendering.
All of the popular browsers apart from Opera allow the user to increase text size, with the caveat that IE6 & IE7 only work for certain units, and won't increase the oft-used pixel size fonts.
Opera and IE7 have a more advanced zoom functionality, that increases the size of all the elements on the page, not just the text.
Generally speaking, people with mild visual impairments can usually just increase the text size for more comfortable reading, so any of the browsers except IE6 would do the job.
It has probably become clear that Opera has the best all-round zooming function if you need anything more than slightly bigger text, or if a site uses images to display small text. Opera's zoom works on a greater range of sites, as the algorithms employed aim to reduce the horizontal scrolling, keeping sites usable at a greater magnification.
For people with moderate to severe visual impairments, Opera would be a good browser, but other aspects of the computer would be very difficult to use without a general screen magnifier.
Thank you for your article. IMHO you missed one solution: to define not only the font-size but the complete layout using relative values. This would result in a zoom behavior similar to what IE7 offers now. You will also run into the problem with the horizontal scrolling, but I think this is much better then staying with the original width of a column and a larger font – the horizontal scrolling hides some information (that's bad) but you can still access them – with the other solutions you can't.
Had you seen my article on accessible layouts?
I've tested those type of layouts (that I would call "font-based" layouts) with users who have visual impairments, and they were worse than fixed layouts.
The bottom line is that unless you can implement a max-width (of 100%) in IE, they are not a good (accessible) solution.
I've been experimenting with IE's expressions to get that working, but I'm slightly hampered by only having a Mac at home!
Pingback: Jon Atkinson Dot Org » Fixing the Wii Browser, one massive hack at a time.
IE & IE based browsers: tolerable, text, frames and texts can be magnified at the same ratio. But when zooming is performed the page scrolling is extremely slow.
Opera: excellent, maginification runs perfectly, and the scrolling speed is far better than IE.
One should mention that both Opera and Firefox offer to set a minimum text size which in my oppinion is a better text zoom that the one offered in IE. While IE zooms all text including already large fonts the aforementioned function only zoom those parts whose fonts are smaller than the minimum text size TO the minimum text size. This will at least leave parts of Non-'bulletproof' sites intact. And in combination with the magnifier option it allows you to magnify less.
I do have a problem with Operas magnify option though, it's fast but leaves something to be desired quality wise. Most likely is uses simply bilinear algorithms to magnify and thus looks especially ugly on magnified text. I'd preder a good bicubic interpolation as an option for pc with enough power to handle it.
It's probably worth dealing with text-zoom and page-zoom as separate functions, it gets to complicated to discuss otherwise. But I agree that a minimum text size is a useful feature (in fact, IE's text sizing is still very poor in IE7).
I'm not sure what Opera could do about the image re-sizing, I did a comparison with IE7's and they were pretty similar. Other people have found Opera's image zoom quality better, although I take that with a pinch of salt.
Good work. You may be interested in a zoom test I did comparing how Opera and IE7 zoom images.
Also Mac users can zoom in on anything using the mouse wheel and CTRL. Handy this morning for trying to read the ludicrously tiny text in the Quicksilver help window!
Interesting, thanks Chris. Firefox 3 will include image zooming, and I think the method of providing larger images that are scaled down will grow in popularity as browser zooms improve.
You might find things are different on different platforms though? Even in Parallels, I think the rendering of fonts and images can be different on OSX. Would you like a screen shot of IE/Op/FF on Windows?
Nice article. In the meantime, Firefox 3 is published: indeed a magnifying zoom function is added – intelligent (no horizontal scrolling in liquid designs).
Now the Comparison Table can be updated, with FF3 as winner: all 4 cells can be green!


Percentage of catches that are subject to a catch documentation scheme or similar traceability system as a percentage of the total catches that are less than x tons and traded in major markets.
The indicator does not exist, but the information does exist for some countries where such catch documentation schemes already exist, which is primarily the case for developed countries. However, FAO is leading the development of guidelines for such schemes and it is anticipated that the guidelines will be discussed and possibly endorsed in 2016 (at COFI). There is sufficient interest in CDS to begin to discuss/develop a globally agreed indicator for products traded through major markets. A catch documentation scheme will provide the framework on which to build and manage the indicator.
The feasibility of the indicator will primarily be determined by countries and regions that put in place a CDS, and if instituted the cost of data collection will be a part of the CDS, and will operate on a continuing basis. The information in a CDS is collected along the value chain and to precisely calculate the indicator, the country where distribution of the product ends will be the collector of the information since they will have the point of origin and destination and will be able to determine the total volume of product landed and the volume of product landed that is subject to a CDS for catch less than X tons."
