Artwork projects, provides, classroom management and the little issues that make educating art so exciting. Many distance applications in particular schooling are accredited by the National Affiliation for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). They work with common schooling academics to current the data in a manner that students with disabilities can more simply understand.
Other packages require prospective academics to take courses in schooling earlier than they'll start to teach. This specialization focuses on kids as much as 9 years outdated who have developmental disabilities. Autistic students want an individualized education program with clearly outlined targets and objectives, a structured environment, and household involvement in an effort to reach an instructional setting.
A number of work with students in residential amenities, hospitals, and college students' homes. Nonetheless, private schools could choose to rent lecturers who've no less than a bachelor's degree in special schooling. Some schools provide flexible on-line degree programs.
A large part of being a particular schooling teacher is designing and managing studying plans for every pupil. Academics must use a comprehensive method by completing coursework in the advanced examine of autism and autism points. These programs usually embrace fieldwork, comparable to pupil educating.
All states require special schooling lecturers to acquire a license and bachelor's degree in training and particular education. Particular training academics work together with general classroom academics, mother and father, and directors regularly. Particular training teachers additionally collaborate with trainer assistants , psychologists , and social staff to accommodate requirements of scholars with disabilities.


Fees charged by the Sheriff's Office for different types of civil process functions are established by the Cottonwood County Board of Commissioners. Fees are reviewed by the Sheriff's Office periodically and any proposed changes are discussed with other Sheriff's offices in Southwestern Minnesota, so they remain fairly consistent.
A deposit, check or cash, must accompany legal processes submitted for service. When legal processes submitted for service is not accompanied by a deposit the original documents and affidavit of service will be held and an invoice will be sent to attorney/creditor. When payment is received a receipt, original papers and affidavit will be returned.
For multiple services at same address add a $50.00 incremental increase for each additional service.

preferred numbers
Objects are often manufactured in a series of sizes of increasing magnitude. The manufacturer must decide what those sizes should be. An example of such a series is one often used for money and packaging: 1, 2, 5, 10. The appeal of the series is its relation to decimalized currency; all the numbers divide evenly into ten. There is no three or thirty dollar bill.
In selecting the numbers for a series, people like numbers easily expressed in words; whole numbers for example. Formerly there was also a strong preference that the highest number in a series have a lot of prime factors, as 12 or 60 do, but the spread of numeracy and especially electronics have diluted this preference. Decimals have won out. Before the 20th century, many series of sizes proceeded by doubling, but the original, 18th century rules for the use of the metric system did not permit common fractions to be used with its units, though everyone does it (half a kilo, for example, is universal).
People also expect the difference between adjacent sizes to be constant. For this reason, if a series of sizes must cover a vast range, people are likely to want adjacent sizes to differ by a constant factor, making a geometrical or exponential series, such as 3, 6, 12. The alternative is a series in which adjacent numbers differ by a constant amount (an arithmetic series, such as 3, 5, 7). Shoe sizes, for example, are an arithmetic series in all cultures simply because feet vary only over a small range.
If the first size is 10, a geometrical series can reach 100 in 5 steps by making adjacent sizes differ by a factor of , that is, multiply the preceding size by about 1.58.
If the first size is 10, an arithmetical series can reach 100 in 5 steps by making adjacent sizes differ by 18, that is, add 18 to the preceding size.
An arithmetical series of sizes results in small sizes that are too far apart, and big sizes that are too close together.
Internationally Standardized Series
In 1877 a French military engineer, Col. Charles Renard (1849–1905) was given the job of improving captive balloons. (In those days armies used such balloons to observe the enemies' position.) He discovered that 425 different sizes of cable were being used to moor the balloons, a logistical nightmare, and set about determining how best to reduce these to a smaller number of sizes.
After determining that the relevant characteristic of the cable was its mass per unit length, Renard succeeded in replacing the 425 sizes with 17 sizes that covered the same range. To do this he made the sizes a geometric series in which by every fifth step the mass per unit length of the cable increased by a factor of ten:
a, 1.5848a, 2.5119a, 3.9811a, 6.3096a, 10a
If we let a = 10 and round off to whole numbers, we get the series
which cinematographers will recognize as the old sequence of lens focal lengths for 16mm motion picture cameras.
The ratio between adjacent terms in a geometric series does not have to be based on a root of 10. For example, in the western musical scale, every twelfth term in the series increases the frequency by a factor of two, so the ratio between any two adjacent terms (i.e., notes) is
In the series "tablespoon, fluid ounce, quarter-cup, gill, cup, pint, quart, pottle, gallon," the ratio between adjacent terms is 2, which was by far the most common ratio before the rise of decimal calculation.
To users of a decimally-oriented system of units, such as SI, Renard's series is much more useful than these other geometric series, because it begins on 10 and ends on 100. The ISO adopted Renard's series as the basis of the preferred numbers for use in setting metric sizes. The designations of the series they have defined begin with "R" as a tribute to Renard, and the series are called "renard series."
The ISO has defined four basic series of preferred numbers:
R5: 10, 16, 25, 40, 63, 100.
R10: 10, 12.5, 16, 20, 25, 31.5, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100.
R20: 10, 11.2 12.5, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22.4, 25, 28, 31.5, 35.5, 40, 45, 50, 56, 63, 71, 80, 90, 100.
R40: 10, 10.6, 11.2, 11.8, 12.5, 13.2, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21.2, 22.4, 23.6, 25, 26.5, 28, 30, 31.5, 33.5, 35.5, 37.5, 40, 42.5, 45, 47.5, 50, 53, 56, 60, 63, 67, 71, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100.
It also defined an exceptional R80 series, with 81 values, which is little used.
Rounded series are also defined; they are indicated by a prime mark following the R.
R′10: 10, 12.5, 16, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100.
R′20: 10, 11, 12.5, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, 32,36, 40, 45, 50, 56, 63, 71, 80, 90, 100.
R′40:10, 10.5, 11, 12, 12.5, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 45, 48, 50, 53, 56, 60, 63, 67, 71, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100.
An even more rounded series is indicated by putting two prime marks after the R:
R″5: 10, 15, 25, 40, 60, 100.
R″10:10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 100.
R″20:10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 50, 55, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100.
These preferred number series may be converted to sizes in several ways. Often they are multiplied or divided by some multiple of ten (e.g., 1000, 1600, 2500, 4000, 6300, 10000; 1.0, 1.6, 2.5, 4.0, 6.3, 10). Sometimes a portion of the range is chosen, in which case in the series is designated by including the two ends of the range in parentheses after the R number, like this: "R40 (14..20)."
Sometimes a series of sizes may be chosen by taking every other value in a series, or every third, or fourth, or so on. In the designation of such a selection the size of the skip is shown by a number after a slash. "R5/3," for example, means a series consisting of every third value in the R5 series. Such a designation must include at least one end of the series. For example, R5/2 (10...400) would mean the series 10, 25, 63, 160, 400.

Q: ejb2.x caching remote interface @ client side In a bit old application, BizDelegate and ServiceLocator are used as Client side patterns. For some reason, BizDelegate got cached.
Means, Home and Remote interfaces are being cached and shared between around 100 threads. Methods in BizDelegate are not synchronized either.
We are having a couple of issues.

*

*Thread issues on client side while writing into socket?(since single object is trying to shared between threads)

*When you do a deployment, always need to client restart?(since remote interface is stored and deployment making a different reference).
We do have server EJB pool size 500 ejb object instance on server side.

Does it mean we use only one EJB instance created while home.create()? is it a kind of singleton?
We use IBM Websphere AppServer 7V.
Same code used to work fine older versions.
Exception what we can see in logs.

A: There is no such "ejb 2.4".  Do you mean EJB 2.1?
There are no threading issues with multiple client threads writing to the same socket.  Excluding bugs, the ORB will multiplex calls on the same socket connection and manage the synchronization for you. (You did not mention which version of WebSphere Application Server you're using.)
In WebSphere Application Server, client references to beans will remain valid through deployments so long as you use the same application name, module URI, and EJB names.  If you change any of those (e.g., because you've included and changed a version number in your application name or module URI), then the client will need to be refreshed/restarted after redeployment.  You could add a try/catch(NoSuchObjectException) around your remote calls and add logic to automatically refresh.

Video shows LAPD Cop Shoot Fleeing 14-year-old who Tossed Loaded Gun
It all started when someone called 911 reporting three teens were tagging the wall of a nearby building with graffiti on August 9, 2016.
Police respond to the scene and spot two boys.
One starts running.
A foot chase ensues with Los Angeles police officer Eden Medina chasing 14-year-old Jesse Romero down E. Cesar Chavez Boulevard.
As Medina and another officer approach a corner, a gunshot can be heard.
Body cam footage shows Medina forward, turning the corner onto Breed Street then shooting Romero from the back, killing him.
"Get down!" one cop screams.
"Let me see your fucking hands!"
As officers approach, there's only one problem: Romero had already disarmed by tossing his gun over a fence before Medina shot him.
The video shows a revolver on the other side of a wrought-iron fence.
"What happened is was when he threw it over the fence . . . when it landed on the ground . . . that's when it fired," Humbert Guizar, the attorney representing Romero's family, explained during a May 29 press conference where he released video footage of the shooting to a small crowd of reporters.
"OK? Because it hit something, and caused it to fire."
The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office ruled it was reasonable for Medina to believe he was in "significant and immediate" danger, according to CBS Local.
But Guizar pointed out Medina couldn't have thought Romero was holding a gun and shooting at him because he steps forward and rounds the corner instead of taking cover and would not have walked in the line of fire.
"The video shows that when the officer fired at the kid, he fired at him when he wasn't a threat," Guizar told reporters.
"He didn't have a gun in his hand."
"And he killed him."
The Los Angeles Police Commission determined the use of force was appropriate in a 3-1 vote.
Footage from officer Medina's body cam, as well as the other officer's body-worn camera, can be seen above.

CHOICE is encouraging Australians to check their extras halth insurance to take advantage of any remaining benefit before 31 December.
"Given that most health insurance benefits tick over on January 1st, it's a case of use it or lose it when it comes to extras cover," says CHOICE spokesperson, Nicky Breen. "We know that most people cite extras are one of the main reasons they take out health insurance so if you are paying for extras cover it's essential you make the most of your money."
Extras insurance pays benefits for health costs including optical, dental, physio, podiatry, chiropractic, massage and counselling. It may also help with the cost for hearing aids, blood glucose monitors or medication that isn't subsidised, such as travel vaccinations.
"If you're planning on getting your teeth checked or have been putting off a trip to the phsyio, now could be the best time to go if you have credit left on your yearly limits," Ms Breen says. "If you need a new pair of glasses you could even double your benefit as some funds allow you to claim for the lenses at the end of one year and the frames at the start of the next. "You can check on your extras cover balance by either calling your insurer or using the fund's online portal.
Ask your insurer for an annual claims statement. If you are paying more in premiums than you are receiving in benefits you may want to reassess whether you need extras cover at all.
Remember there is no tax incentive for taking out extras cover.
Extras cover is effectively a budgeting tool. If you decide you don't need extras cover, it's worth considering setting up a savings account and banking the same amount you would have paid in premiums.


I recently upgraded my copy of "Tinderbox":http://www.eastgate.com/Tinderbox/ to 4.5.3 – a minor release. After the last few updates, this one seemed almost a non-event. I never know what to expect with each new Tinderbox version, but there's always something useful. Once I dug into the 4.5.3 update I found my initial impression to be mistaken. It turns out this release has a few nice additions. My favorite happens to be the ability to assign badges or prototypes to multiple selected notes simultaneously. I didn't even know I wanted to do that, but there it is, and it's useful.
One of the amazing things about Mark Bernstein's development process is the way in which new features are added. At first glance new features can seem rather haphazardly tossed in, and yet after a few minutes of use everything tends to make complete sense. These little things sure do add up. Mark himself describes this in his "blog post announcing Tinderbox 4.5.3":http://www.markbernstein.org/Oct0801/Tinderbox453.html and I agree completely.


"Predictive ability of genome-assisted statistical models under vario" by Mehdi Momen, Ahmad Ayatollahi Mehrgardi et al.
Recent work has suggested that the performance of prediction models for complex traits may depend on the architecture of the target traits. Here we compared several prediction models with respect to their ability of predicting phenotypes under various statistical architectures of gene action: (1) purely additive, (2) additive and dominance, (3) additive, dominance, and two-locus epistasis, and (4) purely epistatic settings. Simulation and a real chicken dataset were used. Fourteen prediction models were compared: BayesA, BayesB, BayesC, Bayesian LASSO, Bayesian ridge regression, elastic net, genomic best linear unbiased prediction, a Gaussian process, LASSO, random forests, reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces regression, ridge regression (best linear unbiased prediction), relevance vector machines, and support vector machines. When the trait was under additive gene action, the parametric prediction models outperformed non-parametric ones. Conversely, when the trait was under epistatic gene action, the non-parametric prediction models provided more accurate predictions. Thus, prediction models must be selected according to the most probably underlying architecture of traits. In the chicken dataset examined, most models had similar prediction performance. Our results corroborate the view that there is no universally best prediction models, and that the development of robust prediction models is an important research objective.

Encountering dehumanization
Until far more Israelis and Palestinians see each other as fellow humans who have suffered in this conflict and see their own side is far from blameless, expect little to change except for the worse
By BRIAN E. FRYDENBORG
A joint prayer session was held in Gush Etzion, after the Duma arson attack. (photo credit: MARC ISRAEL SELLEM/THE JERUSALEM POST)
After a nearly-two-week trip in Israel, and thinking about my other numerous trips to Israel and the Palestinian territories as well as the nearly two years I've been living in Jordan – where many Palestinians live – one thing I've learned is that both Israelis and Palestinians are people who do a great job of winning you over, while simultaneously, unintentionally showing you their glaring faults. Basically, the more time you spend with them, the more you both come to love them, but also realize why it's so hard for them to make peace.
In my up close and personal education on this conflict, perhaps the most disturbing obstacle to peace is the level of dehumanization each side engages in with respect to the other. I've made my views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict clear in many published articles, an eBook, several academic papers and social media interaction: I'm pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian, for two states for two peoples. That doesn't mean I see both sides in this conflict as 50-50, equally suffering, or equally responsible, but I won't try here to quantify the dehumanization and compare how each side engages in it and to what degree.
What I will say is that, sadly, far too many people on both sides frequently practice dehumanization, some actively, some more tacitly/passively. Yes, Israel has a minority that stands up for the rights of Palestinians and fights against their dehumanization, but it's one that is bereft of power in the current political landscape.
There are far fewer Palestinians doing the same for Israelis, and though they exist, their smaller numbers give them even less influence than their weak Israeli counterparts.
THE DEHUMANIZATION is particularly tough for me to encounter because I have Jewish and Arab, Israeli and Palestinian friends. Hearing people from one side disparage the other en masse, I see the faces of my friends and am quick to correct their ignorance. And yet, almost all the people spewing ignorance, mythology, racism and paranoia are just as quick to dismiss my examples as fringe anecdotes or suggest that these friends aren't sharing their true beliefs with me.
Also incredibly disturbing are many of their zero-sum mentalities: If I express any sympathy/empathy for the other side, it is a loss in a victimhood Olympics in which each side tries to claim a gold-medal monopoly on suffering and righteousness, where anything positive about "the enemy" is a loss for their own side and must be argued against and dismissed and cannot be tolerated, let alone acknowledged. Similarly, any criticism directed at their side in the eyes of far too many means you're against their side and a partisan of the other. When I ask if their side does anything wrong or deserves any blame, I'm often calmly told "no" without hesitation.
I remember one series of conversations on a bus.
Sitting with a very pretty young woman sporting an army uniform and, only 20 years old, we began to chat. Eventually, politics came up (it always seems to).
She offered a simple explanation: "They hate us because we're Jews, and no matter what we do, they'll always want to kill us."
She said this with a sadness in her eyes that went way beyond her years. When I asked her if she thought that there's a possibility that large numbers of Palestinians engage in violence in reaction to the oppressive, decades- long occupation, "Maybe," she said, then, looking away, "I dunno," then, locking her eyes with mine, "but they don't want peace."
At this point, a man across from us jumped in: "Let me explain to you, we want peace. We want life, value life. They just want death. The Arabs would rather kill us than live."
It's always they, or the Arabs; rarely are the people specified as "Palestinians," people with their own distinct identity/culture, discussed in human terms.
When I tried to suggest that I know plenty of Arabs who feel differently, I was told, "You don't understand the Arabs because you are not from here," as if they are generally a monolithic, inhuman species.
One young man with Rastafarian-like dreadlocks at a bar took great pains to explain to me that there's no such people as "Palestinians," that Jewish roots were far more real/valid than "Palestinian" ones, all within two minutes of meeting me.
WHEN I hear Arabs and Palestinians talk, too often, the words "Zionists," "occupiers" and "enemies" are used to paint the picture of an entire people as soulless and heartless.
"All the Jews/Israelis want to do is take our land and kill our people," I'm often told.
I remember debating several older men who were claiming, "The Zionists are trying to commit genocide against the Palestinians, they won't rest until we are all gone or dead!" "They," one added, "are baby-killers!" In a recent Facebook exchange with two young female Jordanian authors, I got an angry reaction for simply sharing my article calling for both Israeli and Palestinian civilian life to be inviolably sacred; for them, there were no Israeli civilians, just "Zionist occupiers."
Israeli media all too often focus on Israeli suffering, but often won't even name or show pictures of Palestinian civilians killed by Israel. Likewise, Palestinian media constantly show gruesome pictures of dead Palestinians, but Jewish suffering is never shown. Respective media cocoons reinforce a narrative of exclusivity of suffering that dehumanizes those on the other side, depriving them of acknowledgment of their suffering.
Such mentalities breed more violence: It's much easier to kill people when you've reduced them to objects, devoid of deserving any sympathy, who are always wrong and are never victims because that territory of victimhood exclusively belongs to your own side and cannot be shared. Far too many believe sovereignty and political power/control cannot be shared by both Jews and Arabs in these contested territories, but that one side must be dominated by the other and should pipe down and be grateful for whatever their adversary deigns to hand out to them. Such is the mentality of Jews who would see Israel either annex or continue to occupy the West Bank; such is the mentality of Palestinians who will brook no division either and want all Palestinian refugees to return in a single democratic state to be run by Palestinians.
Such is the subconscious mentality of people who call for these policies, whether aware of, or admitting the end results, or not.
PALESTINIANS WHO ask Israelis to simply not worry and accept a majority-Arab rule over all of historic Palestine have not even made the most basic effort to understand Jewish Israelis' mentality. Israeli Jews who think that Palestinians would even consider being doled out more economic/local power while still ceding most military/political control to Israel – indefinitely or permanently – similarly demonstrate an equal inability to understand Palestinians' mentality.
Yet this is the natural consequence of dehumanizing the other: They're simply enemies to be defeated, killed and pushed aside, not fellow human beings to understand, respect and accommodate.
Until far more Israelis and Palestinians see each other as fellow humans who have suffered in this conflict and see their own side is far from blameless, expect little to change except for the worse. Though clearly a difficult step, it is absolutely necessary. ■

Comparative analysis of Russia's demise in 1917 and of the USA's now
Opinion » Columnists
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.By Alexander Gofen
It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
(John Adams, October 11, 1798)
Our Constitution was made only for moral and religious people of the Judeo-Christian faith, living on an isolated continent.
It is wholly inadequate to the government and people of any other faith.
It is wholly inadequate under conditions of wide openness to hostile ideologies and people carrying them.
(The 2011 update)
In spite of the time difference of about 100 years, the Russian Empire had fallen, and the United States is in the process of fall due to the similar causes: the negligence and failure to confront the destructive forces of Marxism.
Prior to 1917: About 40 years of slightly suppressed Marxist propaganda.
Between 1905 and 1917: the militant Marxists extorted money from capitalists, while many other rich people joined and financed the Marxists willingly.
Yet prior to 1917 Marxism is still mostly unknown and unpopular in Russia.
Despite the known history of Russia after 1917, for about 100 years United States completely neglected the threat of Marxism and allowed it to spread at all levels of government and private institutions.
Yet prior to the 1950s Marxism was still rather unpopular in the US. Some attempts to fight it back took place by Sen. J. McCarthy or historian Skousen.
After the 1960s however, Marxism was spreading freely. It has consumed the system of education completely. The (demagogic) Marxist talk points became a standard for the entire political system. The mass media became 100% Marxist. All the rich and powerful who speak out accepted the Marxist demagogy, no exceptions (1).
Since resignation of the Emperor of Russia in February 1917, the Temporary government was too weak and too liberal.
That government ignored the intelligence that Germany purposely let the train through its territory in 1917 with the so called "sealed cars" delivering V. Lenin and his team of the most militant Bolsheviks into Russia. Germany also financed this team with multi million support funds wishing the Bolsheviks to take power in Russia.
The Temporary government ignored this threat, and never acted adequately against Lenin - a German spy. Using these funds, Bolsheviks had bought newspapers and a lot of influence just in a few months of 1917.
In doing so, on November 7, 1917, in almost bloodless silent coup Bolsheviks dismissed the Constitutional Convention and the Temporary government. Since that moment they established a dictatorship, which at first seemed hardly noticeable by anybody.
The strategists and law enforcing agencies in the US have completely neglected the spread of Marxism in the US. These agencies were rather picking the wind and reading the wish of the "political elite".
The law enforcement deliberately ignored the money sources and illegal activity of peoples like Soros, clubs like Bilderberg, and the "one world government" ideologues.
Therefore in 2008 a constitutionally unqualified (not US natural born) candidate, a Marxist, an agent of influence and Moslem sympathizer, identity thief, fraud and forger Obama/Soetoro was promoted, allowed to campaign and to win the US presidency - unobstructed by even one political leader, election commission, or any other official! Unobstructed by his opponents McCain and Palin! Unobstructed by the opposition - Republican - party.
In fact, Republicans, McCain and Palin cooperated with the rival in order that he win: They did vet McCain's qualifications (Sen. Res 511, 2008) but had never done it for the opponent. Republicans keep helping the usurper to win up to this moment in 2012, when it is already discovered that the usurper is a fraud and identity thief. They carefully avoid bringing fore or even hinting to any of the numerous crimes of Obama - the rival, whom they supposedly wish to win.
According to the analysis compiled by J. Williams, many representatives of the elite and the legislature desired to see Obama a president and paved the way for him many years prior to 2008, yet their activity was ignored.
So the November of 2008 became a day of a de-facto coup in the US, when the Constitution was silently and willingly abandoned by all the political parties and by the three "as though independent" branches of the government. This coup (now in progress) first seemed hardly noticeable by anybody.
In 1917-1920 despite of the German cash, Bolsheviks still were mostly unknown and unpopular in wider Russia: especially due to their militant atheism. However they had succeeded to quickly grab the power in several cities.
There were no independent branches of government in Russia, nor any tradition of law obedience. There was no judiciary branch through which the patriots could contest the coup. The Army was the only possible force of resistance then in Russia, which could confront the coup, and so it did.
Unlike Russia in 1917-1920, the Marxism in America became widely known and welcomed by a great proportion of citizenry (near 50%). These relatively new type of citizenry emerged due to grotesquely generous entitlements of the government. The government was incapable and unwilling to zip its wallet, and it just zealously placated the unproductive class (something unthinkable in Russia (2)). That citizenry completely lost the work ethic and spiritual foundation proper to American citizenry prior to ascend of Marxism.
Therefore, the coup of 2008 in the US not only was hardly identified as such, but worse: "The change" was welcomed by the majority.
Unlike in Russia of 1917, the old three branches of government in America formally remained in power. Yet they maintained the state of total denial about the unconstitutionality of the impostor Obama/Soetoro, and about the very fact of the 2008 coup. The entire issue became a taboo.
The Russian Army those days was exhausted by the WWI, undermined and corrupted by the Marxist propaganda. Yet the elite of the Army and the middle echelon were still loyal to the lawful government of Russia. They did not join the Bolshevik coup and formed the so called White Army in order to defeat Bolsheviks and to restore the lawful government of Russia.
There were many prominent generals in various parts of Russia which formed the parts of the White Army: Kolchak, Denikin, Wrangel - to name a few.
Unlike in Russia, the US Army actually backed the coup (except only three middle level officers!). The US Army therefore has betrayed the oath to protect the US Constitution. As of this moment (March, 2012), there is no indication that something analogous to the Russian White Army may ever emerge in the US in a foreseeable future. The entire US Army plays the role of the Red Army of Russia in 1917-1921.
As to the citizenry, only a small part of it has noticed and recognized the unconstitutionality of what happened in 2008. Theseconstitutionalists (mocked as "birthers" by the collaborators of the coup) are struggling for the full exposure and prosecution of the impostor. Unlike them, the so called Tea Parties (named so after the rebels of the 1770s) evade any mentioning of the illegitimacy issue, struggling only against certain policies of the "president".
The constitutionalists pursue the judicial line of fight challenging the courts (see below). However the courts so far audaciously sabotaged each and every attempt to hear the case in merits. The US courts now are no different from the Soviet "courts".
The White Army unfortunately was defeated and betrayed. At the beginning the civil war was more successful for the White Army, which succeeded to catch the gold treasury of Russia. Unlike the constitutionalists in America, the parts of White Army were compactly located in various areas of wide Russia. Yet these parts of White Army were separated and unconnected geographically, while the Red Army in the center was one connected entity.
Even more importantly, the White Army was (mostly) a voluntary army, and its human resource was limited, while the Red Army was mobilized via conscription by the Bolshevik dictatorship. For that reason alone the White Army was doomed.
Also, in those days nobody in Russia could even imagine the scope and ugliness of the Bolshevik dictatorship as it unfolded later. And Russians then got already seduced by baseless promises of Marxists.
The White Army was also betrayed by the world powers and even by some of its commanders. The world powers ceased any military help to the White Army - not understanding at all the peril of the Bolshevism for the entire world.
As of March, 2012, no part of the US Army is up to disobeying the usurper Obama/Soetoro and the treasonous military brass. No part of it appears ready to split away into a separate White Army with the goal to protect the Constitution.
Even if a certain number of personnel decided to do so, it would be problematic to gain an access to the treasury, hardware, ammunition and high-tech.
In the moment there is not one state among the 50 states which is ready to secede and to host a would-be White Army of America.
So far the forces wishing to resist are thinly spread nation-wide, and it is unclear how even to bring them together compactly (not to mention how to feed and provide for them).
There are no external political powers interested in helping the hypothetical American White Army in restoring the American Constitution (much less the former role of America as the super power).
No judicial attempts to restore the constitutional order in Russia had ever taken place.
The judicial fight for restoration of the Constitutional order lasts since the end of 2008 and is still in progress.
There were numerous attempts of attorneys to file the cases in US courts. Yet all the cases were dismissed without hearing in merits: mostly on the ground as though American voters "have no standing" (i.e. they did not suffer a specific damage) because of election of a Constitutionally unqualified candidate!
There were several decisions of American Grand Juries in 2009 which found Obama/Soetoro guilty in various crimes from fraud and perjury to treason. Then a prominent black pastor in Harlem, New York, James Davis Manning held a (people) trial in May 2010, which indicted Obama in the above mentioned crimes. In 2011 many experts filed their reports to FBI and other offices of state prosecution, in which reports the experts testified forgery of the officially presented documents of Obama. However neither of those state prosecution offices have followed the reports of the experts, private citizens, of American Grand Juries or the Manning (people) trial in May 2010.
The leader of the judicial fight and its most prominent personality is Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq (now running for the US Senator from CA).
In December 2011, the fight reached the next phase - the challenge to all 50 state election commissions, attempting to re-enter the illegitimate candidate Obama into the primary ballots the second time. The main source of information about various aspects of this fight is Dr. Taitz' site http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/ and also a conservative news outlet http://www.wnd.com/ .
In February 2012, the first hearing of the case in merits finally took place by GA administrative judge M. Malihi. Both constitutional and criminal charges against Obama/Soetoro therefore were first entered on official record. Dr. Orly Taitz brought the evidence and testimonies of 7 witnesses and experts, who all testified that the major personnel documentation of Obama/Soetoro is forged and faked. However the ruling of the judge was so grotesque that it rather symbolizes the end of Justice in this nation (see here and here).
On March 1, 2012 the investigation group of Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County (Arizona) announced their first findings at a press conference for the mass media. The Sheriff had independently confirmed that the officially presented partial and full birth certificates of Obama were computer forgeries, and his military registration card was faked too. In other words, the sitting "president" appears to have no personnel documentation legitimizing his presidency. Moreover, he is implicated in a deliberate production of counterfeit documents. Normally such a sensational discovery ought to bring the mass media into the state of shock. It ought to explode into a nonstop extensive coverage of this scandal.
However what happened to be sensational was rather the silence - the deafening silence! - of the major American media. It took the English issue of Pravda (Truth) to publish an in-depth analysis of the Sheriff's report.
1) Amazingly accurately the demise of America was predicted already in 1984 by a defector from KGB Yuri Bezmenov. In our time (2010-2012) a group of authors compiled a video clip juxtaposing the original footage of the interview with Bezmenov 25 years ago vs. a series of the well recognizable culprits of America's demise of the modern days.
2) In the USSR the Marxist demagoguery like "caring about the poor and downtrodden" was used only as propaganda talking points. Such humanitarian niceties as welfare, food stamps, or even short term unemployment checks had never existed there, nor could be even thought of.

PV Sindhu went down fighting against Nozomi Okuhara of Japan in a match that swung like a pendulum in the World Badminton Championship final on Sunday. Sindhu, having lost the first game 19-21, came back brilliantly in the second game, winning it 22-20 before going down in the final game 20-22. Sindhu's gallant effort to become India's first ever World Champion ended in a heart-wrenching defeat against her Japanese opponent. In a thrilling final, which tested the physical and mental strength of both the players, Sindhu lost 19-21, 22-20, 20-22 after battling hard for one hour and 49 minutes. Their bodies falling apart as the match progressed but both Sindhu and Okuhara used every ounce of energy left with them to make it an epic contest.


who clearly don't know what they're doing, we caved and got Justin a cell phone. He was going to need it for school in the Fall and we wanted him to have it for his week-long visit to Atlanta this Summer. So, we sucked it up and got him some old technology in the form of my old cell phone.
He was beyond excited upon hearing the news that a cell phone was in his future. What he may not have been so excited about was the contract that we made him agree to in exchange for the phone! Honestly, I think it's brilliant. It stipulates what we expect from him in terms of cell phone etiquette and an "Honor Code" by which we expect him to abide by.
I'd like to tell you that all went well and the contract was honored by both parties. Unfortunately, I broke the contract almost immediately. I broke it in front of GWE, in the Verizon store, and within 30 seconds of Justin taking possession of his phone.
That's the one I broke.
Justin broke into hysterics. GWE turned to me to remind me that once again, she was disappointed in my parental choices.

It's been a while since I've paid a visit to Shaanxi-Style Restaurant, it used to be a family favourite, especially when my grandma was here, but nowadays we tend do eat in a lot more often, and when we are eating out, there is an endless list of restaurants to try out, making returning to an old favourite something of a novelty.
I was craving lamb skewers after a day trip in the Macedon ranges, and no place does them quite like Shaanxi-Style, hence how we ended up having dinner here. Nothing much has changed in terms of both the decor and the menu, and by that I mean extremely minimal decor, but pleasant enough. The menu may be quite daunting if you are unfamiliar with Shaanxi cuisine, it's heavy with spice, noodles, and all sorts of soups, and if you really don't know what to order, at least there's some photos on the menu to guide you.
We had some trotters to start, now if you've never tried pork trotters, this may not be the best place to start. The trotters were braised in what is commonly known as 'lu shui', a master stock of kind, it usually has a mixture of soy, cinnamon, star anise, clove and cardamom, and what ever secret ingredient each restaurant has up their sleeve, the braising liquid is used over and over again, turning it into an extremely flavoursome concoction. This was served warm, which is something I'm not used to, since we always have it cold at home, giving it more of a bite. The skin and the tendon of the trotter were cooked down to a gelatinous state, and were a delight to eat.
Melbourne's weather suddenly took a dip, and what better way to combat that than to have a big bowl of hot noodle soup?
This was the first time we had the lamb noodle soup, and the soup itself had a distinctive lamb flavour, with the addition, of bok choi, tofu puffs, black fungus and bits of lamb.
I originally expected the noodles to be handmade, but unfortunately, this was not the case. The noodle lacked the bite that handmade noodles have, but it was quite moreish nonetheless.
Onto the reason that we ended up in the restaurant at all, the lamb skewers! I will always have a soft spot for these in my heart, and on this night, Shaanxi-Style delivered again. The large chunks of lamb were grilled over charcoal, with a generous seasoning of salt, cumin and chilli powder, my favourite part about these skewers are the charred edges, especially with the more fattier bits, where the fat has gone completely crispy.
Shaanxi-Style may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you are sick of fried rice and dumplings, or just feeling a bit adventurous, then give it a go, then at least you'll know for sure whether you are a fan or not!
Shaanxi-Style is located on Whitehorse Road, five minutes walk from Box Hill Station, which is on the Belgrave and Lilydale line.

Bloomington Man Behind Bars After Shooting At Officer
Last updated on Thursday, December 20, 2018
(BLOOMINGTON) - A man who fired three shots at a Bloomington Police officer before turning the gun on himself is now behind bars.
Police arrested 20-year-old Thomas Flinn on charges of attempted murder, criminal recklessness and carrying a handgun without a license. Flinn was arrested Tuesday after being released from the hospital.
Bloomington Police officers responded to the 700 block of West 17th Street around 8:30 p.m. after a woman called 911 to report her ex-boyfriend was suicidal and planned to provoke police into killing him.
Officer Conner Dunn was the first on the scene and found Flinn standing next to his car in a parking lot. Flinn fired a semi-automatic handgun at Officer Dunn but missed striking a nearby car.
Police say Flinn then fled, running between two buildings. Dunn and other officers soon found him bleeding from his face and head from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.
He was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Detectives interviewed Flinn on Tuesday, but he refused to speak to officers and requested an attorney. Upon his release, he was arrested.

Freedom Park is a memorial and leisure park area in the middle of downtown Lagos in Lagos Island, Nigeria which was formerly Her Majesty's Broad Street Prison. It was designed by the Architect Theo Lawson as a speculative project under the CIA-Lagos (formerly Creative Intelligence Agency and now Cultural Intellectual Association) in 1999.

The Park was constructed to preserve the history and cultural heritage of Nigerians.
Monuments in the park reveal the Lagos colonial heritage and history of Her Majesty's Broad Street prisons. It was built to commemorate the 50th anniversary independence celebration in October, 2010. The Park serves as a National Memorial, a Historical landmark, a Cultural site, Arts and Recreation centre.

The park, when it was a prison hosted some political activists who fought for Nigeria's independence.

The park, which is now a serene abode for individuals, visitors' collective contemplation and interaction is open to the public every day. Today, freedom park has become a venue for diverse social events and recreational entertainment.

History
Broad Street Prison was established after Britain made Lagos a Colony in 1861 (see Lagos Treaty of Cession). The initial prison structure was built in 1882 with mud walls and grass thatch but did not last long because of sabotage from colonial government opponents. According to Theo Lawson, architect of Freedom Park, opponents of British colonialism in Lagos "kept throwing fire into it and setting it ablaze and so then in 1885 the colonial government imported bricks from England and rebuilt the prison". The colonial government's expense on the prison in 1882 (£16,000) revealed the government's priority on law and order versus other initiatives such as education which the government spent  £700 on. The Colonial report for 1898 indicates that 676 males, 26 females, and 11 juveniles were imprisoned at Broad Street prison for the year.

Broad Street Prison was pulled down in 1979 and was reduced to a dumping ground until the 1990s when plans were drawn up to transform the site into a creative space.

Az orvosi angyalgyökér (Angelica archangelica L.) a zellerfélék családjába tartozó gyógy-, és fűszernövény. Népies neve: angyalfű, angyalgyökér, angyelika, angelikafű.

Elterjedése
Európa magasabb hegyvidékein és Észak-Európában honos, hazánkban is termesztett (helyenként kivaduló) kétéves növény, gyökerét (Angelicae radix), már a középkori kolostorok kertjében termesztették és használták fűszerként.

Leírása
Kétéves vagy évelő növény, mely 2 m magasra is megnőhet. Gyöktörzse mintegy 10 cm hosszú és 5 cm vastag, barna színű, hengeres alakú, felületén körkörös vonalak mutatkoznak, belseje sárgásfehér tejnedvet tartalmaz. Gyökerei 15–30 cm hosszúak és legfeljebb 1 cm vastagok, illatuk jellegzetesen fűszeres, az ízük keserű. Szára 8 cm vastag is lehet, csöves, azaz belül üres. A leveleknek felfújt levélalapjuk van, ami a felső leveleknél feltűnőbb. A levéllemezek háromszor szárnyasan összetettek, a középső levélke többnyire háromkaréjú. Gömb alakú, közel 20 cm átmérőjű ernyős virágzata júliusban és augusztusban nyílik.

Felhasználása
A növény levele és gyökere saláták, főzelékek, mártások ízesítője. Egyes országokban a növény szárát cukorban főzve kandírozzák, és tápszerként fogyasztják. Különlegesen kellemes, aromás illata és édeskésen kesernyés íze miatt az Altvater típusú likőrök, gyomorkeserűk alapanyaga. Illóolajokat, angelikasavat, cukrot, keserű anyagot tartalmaz.

Az angelikagyökeret és magot felhasználják még teakeverékek, vizelethajtó borok, étvágyjavító, szélhajtó, izzadást megszüntető, idegerősítő gyógyteakeverék készítésénél.

Tárolása
Az angelikagyökeret kedvelik a kártevők, ezért jól zárható edényben tárolandó. A molyosodásnak induló, vagy rovar rágta fűszert már nem szabad felhasználni. A levendulakéktől a rózsa-vörösig változó színű virágai a nyár közepén nyílnak.

Termesztése
A nedves, mély fekvésű talajt kedvelő növényt novemberi magvetéssel, április – májusi palántázással szaporítják, tavasszal 60–70 cm-es sortávolságra állandó helyre ültetik. Ha gyökere miatt termesztjük, nem szabad engedni, hogy a növény magszárba menjen, ilyenkor a virágszárat 10 cm magasan kivágjuk.

Gyökerét ősszel fagymentes időben szedik ki, majd arasznyi darabokra vágva, felhasítva, vagy szeletelve, szellős helyen szárítják.

Nem csak gyökere, de a növény minden része fogyasztható, így virága is. Íze a zelleréhez, az édesgyökérhez hasonlít.

Egészségre gyakorolt hatása
Kicsorduló nedve az érzékenyebb bőrt felhólyagosíthatja.

Fényérzékenységet okozhat a benne lévő furanokumarinok miatt.

Ghana's prosperity hinges on election 2016 – Forbes
Since its transition to multi-party democracy in 1992, Ghana has been a success story, and it has been a natural assumption of those who follow African development that Ghana will continue to prosper.
However, Ghanaian prosperity hinges on maintaining a successful democracy, and in the coming year Ghana will face a difficult series of political and economic challenges. Much like other former stars of African development and growth, Ghana risks falling from grace unless some steps are taken.
Historically, Ghanaian governance was a strength. A democracy since 1992, Ghana has experienced two strong presidents in Jerry Rawlings and John Kufuor. Rawlings originally came to power in a coup in 1981, but then successfully managed the democratic transition winning two contested elections in 1992 and 1996. President Rawlings of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), a former air force second lieutenant, set a high bar for Ghanaian presidents; in beginning his leadership, he put an end to a series of violent coups that had lasted over a decade. President Kufuor of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), elected in 2001, participated in the first peaceful transfer of power between democratically elected leaders since 1957. Since Kufuor left office in 2009, two presidents have been elected – John Atta Mills and John Dramani Mahama, both of the NDC.
The political climate in Ghana has lately been plagued by corruption and uncertainty. The Mo Ibrahim award for "Achievement in African Leadership" rewards good governance with five million USD paid over ten years to support government programs. The award was not issued in 2009 or 2010 despite that Kufuor was widely considered a frontrunner. This snub was seen by Ghanaian news sources as a criticism of corruption in several of Ghana's recent administrations, as well as a reaction to allegations of a flourishing cocaine trade in Ghana.
Voter registration issues are hallmarks of Ghana's past elections. Several protests, led by the Let My Vote Count Alliance (LMVCA) which advocates for fair elections and a new voters registry, ended in violence when police shot rubber bullets and tear gas canisters into the crowd, beat protesters with horsewhips and batons, and arrested those who did not disperse.
The current voter register has been called "bloated" by all three political parties – the NPP, NDC and the Progressive People's Party – but their suggestions for reform are causing gridlock. They all agree, however, that the current register contains illegal entries by those ineligible to vote (including children, foreign citizens and doctored photographs). Ghana currently has no electoral laws to handle the situation, and the government communique addressing the voter register admits that "Ghana should emulate the example of Kenya by codifying a set of electoral laws which adequately deter electoral fraud."
In 2012, the Ghanaian Supreme Court had to decide the election results when the NPP claimed that over ten thousand polling stations were guilty of violating procedure. Since then, the NPP has advocated for reform to the Ghanaian voter register. Two possible avenues for reform include scrapping the current lists and starting again or building on the current list and attempting to cut down on illegal entries.
Time and financial constraints will make either of these options a massive undertaking. The upcoming Ghanaian election is on November 7, 2016 – the day before the US election on November 8. This timeline means two things for Ghana – first, that reforms must happen quickly and efficiently, and second, that international media will not adequately cover the Ghanaian election in favor of focusing on the U.S. election. Although solid estimates are hard to come by, any fix for the disorganized voter register will certainly cost Ghana tens of millions of dollars, and could cost more than $100 million. Kenya's Biometric Voter Registration system, which was created in 2013 to solve similar registration issues, cost $95 million.
Over the past 15 years, Ghana has seen significant economic growth that has further strengthened its image as a beacon of stability. Ghana saw as high as 14% growth in 2011, but was at a much slower 4.3% in 2014. The Ghanaian economy is built largely on the back of commodity exports, which saw a boom through 2011, but has tracked the fall in commodity prices.
Ghana produces over 100 thousand barrels per day of crude oil. Corruption in the Ghanaian oil and gas industries has been a concern since the discovery of the Jubilee oil field in 2007. However, Ghana is a member of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), which requires countries with a heavy dependence on oil, gas, and mining industries to accurately report taxes, royalties, and fees paid by extractive companies.
With a little bit of support from its friends and responsible choices moving forward, Ghana has every opportunity to remain the star it has been for the last decade. The upcoming year is a critical one, and will require keen vigilance to ensure Ghana's continued growth and development. Another contested election or mistreatment of the opposition could endanger Ghana's economic and political progress.
