NIA raids 11 locations in Srinagar, 5 in Delhi and Gurgaon in terror funding case
in Nation
The NIA on Wednesday conducted searches at 16 locations in Kashmir and Delhi on traders who were allegedly indulging in hawala operations and using the money for funding terror and separatist activities, officials said.
Sleuths of the National Investigation Agency swooped down on traders at various parts of Srinagar and North Kashmir this morning and carried out extensive search operations at suspected locations, officials said.
The NIA officials also raided as many as five traders in old Delhi.
The raids come a day after the NIA arrested two people, including a freelance photo-journalist, who allegedly indulged in stone pelting and mobilised support against security personnel through social media.
These raids and arrests by the NIA is part of its investigation in a case registered on May 30 in which the leader of the Pakistan-based Jamaat-ud-Dawa and banned terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba, Hafiz Saeed, was named as an accused.
The NIA has arrested seven people in the case of alleged funding of terror and subversive activities in the Kashmir Valley to fuel unrest there.
The case was registered on issues of raising, receiving and collecting funds through various illegal means, including hawala channels, for funding such activities.
It also included causing disruption in the Valley by stone pelting, burning schools, damaging public property and waging war against India.
For the first time since the rise of militancy in Jammu and Kashmir in the early 1990s, a central probe agency conducted raids in connection with the funding of terrorist and separatist groups.

[A]llerdale Borough Council has formally submitted its bid to host the Rugby League World Cup 2021 in Workington.
The Council has been working in partnership with Workington Town to complete the first stage of the application process, and successful bids will be announced by the RLWC 2021 in January 2019.
The Council announced its intention to bid for the RLWC 2021 in early July and asked members of the public and local businesses and community groups for support with a Back the Bid campaign.
Alan Smith, Leader of Allerdale Borough Council, said: "This bid supports the Council's priority of improving health and wellbeing by making sport more accessible to local people through county-wide activities and initiatives. We want to create a sporting legacy that continues well after the World Cup, and this is the first step in achieving this. Hosting the event could also have a significant impact on the local economy, with the potential to bring over £2.4 million to a range of businesses in Allerdale and Cumbria as a whole."
Malcolm Allison, Vice Chairman of Workington Town, added: "I'm pleased that we have now started the process to bring the RLWC 2021 to Workington. This is the heartland of Rugby League, so it makes sense for us to bid to host the RLWC once again. Having successfully held the RLWC here in 2013 and the Four Nations in 2016, we are confident we have what it takes to create an even better experience that will benefit local people and visitors to the area."
Around 150 million people across 115 countries will be estimated to watch the tournament, which will take place in October and November 2021. Plans for a new shared stadium to host the event continue to progress.

World Intermediary Liability Map (WILMap)
Whether and when communications platforms like Google, Twitter and Facebook are liable for their users' online activities is one of the key factors that affects innovation and free speech. Most creative expression today takes place over communications networks owned by private companies. Governments around the world increasingly press intermediaries to block their users' undesirable online content in order to suppress dissent, hate speech, privacy violations and the like. One form of pressure is to make communications intermediaries legally responsible for what their users do and say. Liability regimes that put platform companies at legal risk for users' online activity are a form of censorship-by-proxy, and thereby imperil both free expression and innovation, even as governments seek to resolve very real policy problems.
In the United States, the core doctrines of section 230 of the Communications Decency Act and section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act have allowed these online intermediary platforms user generated content to flourish. But, immunities and safe harbors for intermediaries are under threat in the U.S. and globally as governments seek to deputize intermediaries to assist in law enforcement.
To contribute to this important policy debate, CIS studies international approaches to intermediary obligations concerning users' copyright infringement, defamation, hate speech or other vicarious liabilities, immunities, or safe harbors; publishes a repository of information on international liability regimes and works with global platforms and free expression groups to advocate for policies that will protect innovation, freedom of expression, privacy and other user rights.

FBI Examining Hillary Clinton Emails Found in Anthony Weiner Probe
Updated: October 28, 2016 7:54 PM ET
The FBI is examining additional emails related to Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server four months after closing its investigation, the bureau's director said in a letter to lawmakers on Friday, a surprise twist in a turbulent campaign just 11 days before election day.
In a note to congressional committee chairs, FBI director James Comey said that the FBI had discovered additional emails relevant to the investigation into Clinton's server and agents were examining the emails to determine whether they contain classified information.
The newly discovered emails were found on at least one device belonging to longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin and her husband, former congressman Anthony Weiner, as part of an investigation into Weiner's sexting scandal, multiple news outlets reported citing law enforcement officials.
"In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation," said Comey. "I am writing to inform you that the investigative team briefed me on this yesterday, and I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation."
There was no additional information about what information the emails contain or how long the investigation could take.
Clinton called on the FBI to release all the information it had about the additional emails.
"We are 11 days out from perhaps the most important national election in our lifetimes. Voting is already underway in our country," Clinton told reporters hours after Comey's letter became public. "So the American people deserve to get the full and complete facts immediately. [Comey] himself has said he doesn't know whether emails referenced in his letter are significant or not. I'm confident, whatever they are, will not change the conclusion reached in July."
Abedin and Weiner separated after it was reported in August that the former congressman allegedly sent sexually suggestive photos to a minor. Previously, Weiner sent lewd photos to women on numerous occasions, ending his career in Congress and his subsequent campaign for New York City mayor in two separate scandals.
The FBI found the additional Clinton emails as part of an investigation into Weiner's alleged habits, news outlets reported.
Clinton's use of a private email server during her time as Secretary of State has become a central issue of the campaign. After a months-long investigation, the FBI decided in July not to recommend criminal charges against Clinton, saying there was no prosecutorial precedent for doing so.
At question in the investigation was the former secretary of state's handling of classified information. The FBI found that in a handful of instances, classified email was discovered on Clinton's personal server, but that they were not clearly marked as classified.
The additional emails are a political pitfall for Clinton, whose campaign had hoped to coast into election day with a sizable victory after watching Donald Trump's campaign slowly collapse under the weight of sexual assault allegations and erratic statements.
On Friday, Clinton's campaign chairman said that the FBI should promptly release more detailed information about the emails, calling it "extraordinary" that to "see something like this just 11 days out from a presidential election."
"The Director owes it to the American people to immediately provide the full details of what he is now examining," said campaign chairman John Podesta. "We are confident this will not produce any conclusions different from the one the FBI reached in July."
Trump's campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway gloated about the revelation on Friday afternoon.
Republicans were quick to attack Clinton for the revelation, widely seen as a new opening against Clinton as she appears set on a path to victory on Nov. 8. "Hillary Clinton's corruption is on a scale we have never seen before. We must not let her take her criminal scheme into the Oval Office," Trump said.
"Yet again, Hillary Clinton has nobody but herself to blame," House Speaker Paul Ryan in a statement. "She was entrusted with some of our nation's most important secrets, and she betrayed that trust by carelessly mishandling highly classified information."
Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley said that he was surprised by the news and said he asked for the FBI for more details.
"The letter from Director Comey was unsolicited and, quite honestly, surprising. But it's left a lot more questions than answers for both the FBI and Secretary Clinton," Grassley said in a statement. "Congress and the public deserve more context to properly assess what evidence the FBI has discovered and what it plans to do with it."
The Clinton campaign was caught off guard by the news on Friday. "I've got to read more," Sen. Tim Kaine, Clinton's running mate said, campaigning in Florida. "I've got to read a little more."

Home Titles and awards in fine arts
Titles and awards in fine arts
Dr Subashini Pathmanathan
Most of the Oriental classical dance forms are strongly deep-rooted in traditional culture. All these dance forms have their very own historical background, based on aesthetic essence and aesthetic values. Earlier it was believed that practising these ancient dance forms provide contemplation to the mind and uplift the human life to a spiritual level. All these divine art forms lead us to the path of salvation. These divine forms are very good physical and mental therapy for the individuals and develop very strong willpower within themselves.
At present, there are plenty of fine art teachers in the art world as compared to yesteryears. Most of them have taken up fine arts for their teaching profession, not because of their deep interest or involvement in their selective art forms, but mainly for an earning venture.
Real ability
They must avoid too much of mere publicity through different mass media. Some of the teachers are too much crazy for their self-publicity. They do not hesitate to accept or to use any unrecognized titles. Their aim of using these titles is to attract the maximum amount of students to their classes. And such an attitude always misleads the general public to assess their real ability. Especially these budding artistes are ready to accept awards from any unrecognized and unauthorized organizations or institutions. Many of these inexperienced artistes are longing for titles and awards. Without any meaningful contributions to the art world.
They don't hesitate to accept these titles even from unrecognized bodies or even from any individual. Some of the Hindu temple trusts and trustees or certain Hindu priest organizations are playing an active role in awarding titles to these unknown artists.
Unfortunately in Sri Lanka, there is no active statutory board or body to control or regulate this menace. Nobody questions the validity of these titles. Most of these artists are using these unrecognizing titles publically or openly. Mainly the new faces who entered the art field very recently are longing to use these unrecognized titles just to adorn their names.
Earned degrees
Even the art world should understand that worldwide honorary doctorates awarded by numerous universities are not allowed to use these honorary doctorates titles publicly. These doctorates are not earned degrees, but the honorary doctorates are awarded by the universities on numerous grounds. It is a customary tradition that these honorary doctorates should not be used in front of their names. Now several foreign universities are trading the doctorate degrees for cash.
It is a praiseworthy fact to be mentioned here that in Sri Lanka, certain state-controlled print media organizations do not allow using even the state awarded titles, in the articles and write-ups. Real artistes should contribute their contributions without expecting anything from anywhere.
Building up the reputation is much more important for an artist rather than seeking publicity. Preserving the self-respect and self-dignity are more important for the artistes. They must try to preserve and protect the art and try to transmit the divine art forms to the next generation.

Astropsychologie, též psychologická astrologie, je disciplína užité astrologie, která využívá z horoskopů získané poznatky v psychologii a psychoanalýze. Tento směr astrologie se na rozdíl od tradiční astrologie nezabývá věštěním a předpověďmi (co dobrého nebo špatného člověka potká v příštím období) a místo toho se pokouší pomocí kombinace tradičních astrologických symbolů a poznatků hlubinné psychologie proniknout do motivace a chování člověka a najít odpověď na otázku, proč žije tak, jak žije, a jak by mohl uskutečnit své vrozené osobnostní vlohy mnohem tvořivějším způsobem. Dále se pokouší pomocí kombinace astrologické symboliky a poznatků hlubinné psychologie pojednat o obsáhlé a složité problematice mezilidských vztahů. Podobně jako např. antická řecká filosofie nebo hermetické nauky vychází z předpokladu, že to, co se nám děje ve vnějším životě, odráží dispozice našeho vnitřního života, tj. že vnější život člověka je pouze manifestací (externalizací) toho, co se právě odehrává v nitru jeho duše (a to zpravidla nevědomě) a že tudíž i vztahy k ostatním lidem nám mohou sloužit jako nejlepší zrcadlo, v němž můžeme spatřit sebe sama a dozvědět se co nejvíce o tom, jaká je naše vlastní duše.

Vesmírné živly jako základní psychické funkce a stavební prvky osobnosti člověka

Protože výklad individuálního horoskopu v astrologii zpravidla začíná vyhodnocením individuálního rozložení jednotlivých živlů v podobě ohně, vody, vzduchu a země, které současně odpovídají čtyřem základním psychickým funkcím tvořícím podle Carla Gustava Junga základní stavební prvky lidské duše a osobnosti v podobě intuice (odpovídá živlu ohně), cítění (odpovídá živlu vody), myšlení (odpovídá živlu vzduchu) a smyslového vnímání (odpovídá živlu země), je podle psychologické astrologie možné na astropsychologickém rozboru ukázat celkový vývoj jedince včetně objevení případných méněcenných psychických funkcí a jejich obvyklého přenosu (projekce) ve vztazích mezi lidmi, tj. na partnery, rodiče, děti, přátele atd..

Astrologický zvířetník jako vyjádření spektra psychologické zkušenosti člověka

Astrologický zvířetník podle psychologické astrologie svou strukturou dvanácti znamení (beran, býk, blíženci, rak, lev, panna, váhy, štír, střelec, kozoroh, vodnář a ryby) symbolizuje kompletní spektrum lidské zkušenosti. Člení se na šest mužských neboli kladných znamení, zachycujících různé stránky archetypu muže, a šest ženských neboli záporných znamení, zachycujících různé stránky archetypu ženy. Termíny "mužský" a "ženský" nevyjadřují, že jeden platí pro muže a druhý pro ženy, vyjadřují spíše základní kvalitu energie, která se projevuje v každém člověku bez ohledu na pohlaví. Kladná znamení podle astropsychologie souvisejí s extravertností, obráceností do světa, myslí, aktivitou, zájmem o ideje, objektivní svět a budoucnost. Záporná znamení souvisejí s introvertností, obráceností do nitra, temnotou, cítěním, smyslovostí, setrvalostí, zájmem o subjektivní svět a minulost. Každý člověk v sobě již od okamžiku narození nese zárodek celistvosti kombinace těchto energetických principů, které astropsychologie symbolicky vyjadřuje zvířetníkovým kruhem odpovídajícím postavení nebeských těles na obloze v okamžiku jedincova narození.

Využití astropsychologie v psychoterapii

Tento psychologický přístup k astrologii (případně astrologický přístup k psychologii) může podle astropsychologie sloužit jako jeden z psychoterapeutických nástrojů jak rychle a do hloubky poznat člověka (případně pacienta). Pravidelně při své práci používal astrologie např. švýcarský psycholog a psychoteraput Carl Gustav Jung. Stejně tak jako u klasické psychologie je i cílem psychologické astrologie "vyléčení" oslabených, nerozvinutých, nemocných nebo jinak narušených částí duše a prostřednictvím toho dosáhnout její celistvosti a trvalého duševního zdraví.

Podobně jako astrologie lze v psychologii a psychoterapii využít poznatků dalších podobných odvětví jako např. výkladu tarotu, run apod., kde jednotlivé karty a symboly neslouží k věštění a magii, ale léčení prostřednictvím vyjádřování a uvědomování si toho, co symbolicky vyjadřují, ve vlastní duši.

Kritika
Psychologická astrologie byla kritizovaná z důvodu tzv. konfirmačního zkreslení, astrologie jako taková je obecně považovaná vědeckou komunitou za pseudovědu. Z hlediska psychologie a kognitivních věd označuje konfirmační zkreslení tendenci preferovat interpretaci nové informace takovým způsobem, který potvrzuje vlastní očekávání; a naopak vyhýbat se takovým interpretacím, která našim předběžných přesvědčením odporují. Astrologie byla explicitně vyřazena z průzkumu mezi americkými experty, kteří hodnotili míru nevěrohodnosti různých potenciálně zdiskreditovaných psychologických testů a léčebných postupů, protože nikdy nezískala ani částečnou podporu mezi odborníky na duševní zdraví. Astropsychologie se na tomto seznamu rovněž vůbec nevyskytuje.

The Forgotten Peace: Brest-Litovsk, March 1918 (Studies in Modern History)
By: Wheeler-Bennett, John W.
Publisher: New York, William Morrow & Company: 1939
Former library copy - usual marks. No jacket. Rebound with portions of original jacket mounted on verso of front endpaper. 1939 Hard Cover. xx, 478 pp. The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk (also known as the Brest Peace in Russia) was a peace treaty signed on March 3, 1918, between the new Bolshevik government of Russia and the Central Powers (German Empire, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire), that ended Russia's participation in World War I. The treaty was signed at German-controlled Brest-Litovsk (Polish: Brze?? Litewski; since 1945, Brest, nowadays in Belarus), after two months of ne...


In response to a dramatic increase in terrorism—most notably the attack in the town of Beslan in southern Russia, which resulted in the death in hundreds of schoolchildren, parents and teachers— Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a range of political re-forms that will significantly strengthen the power of the Kremlin. The stated objective of the changes, which include ending popular elections for governors and the elimination of single-mandate seats in the lower house of parliament, is to provide greater stability. But the Russian press characterized the efforts as a coup from within and questioned how further centralization of power will help fight terrorism. The Kremlin meanwhile continued to refuse to enter into a dialogue with Chechen rebels, who have been responsible for most, if not all, terrorism on Russian soil in recent years. In an apparent effort to divert attention from his political reform agenda, Putin unexpectedly supported plans to lift regulations that ban foreigners from buying local shares in Gazprom, the world's largest gas company and the crown jewel of Russia's natural re-source asset base. State oil company Rosneft will be merged into Gazprom, giving the state majority control over the gas company, opening the window to complete liberalization of the shareholding structure in early 2005. Markets vociferously cheered the long-awaited and much-anticipated move, boosting Gazprom shares by 15% upon the announcement. Gazprom will likely before long be-come one of the largest companies, based on market capitalization, in the emerging markets universe. Meanwhile, the Yukos saga dragged on. In mid-October the Natural Resources Ministry said it would allow the company three months to rectify tax payments at its core production unit, Yuganskneftegaz, before its produc-tion licenses would be pulled. But temporary positive sentiment dissipated with rumors that the Russian gov-ernment intended to sell Yuganskneftegaz at a 60% discount to the lowest valuation level suggested by Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, which had been hired to value the asset.


Should you host a Silent or Live Auction?
You've decided to host a benefit auction at your next big non-profit fundraising event — that's great! You've taken an important step toward successful fundraising. Now you are faced with a few important decisions while planning the event, which can be overwhelming.
One of the first things you'll have to decide is whether to have a live or silent benefit auction. How do you know which is better for your organisation's big night? Well, before we get ahead of ourselves, first let's talk about the difference between the two.
Live auctions require an auctioneer who will engage attendees and encourage guests to call out bids. When it comes to silent auctions, attendees will put in their bid electronically and will find out if they won by the time the silent auction closes.
In most cases, a live auction is going to yield a high return on your items – simply because you have a persuasive individual encouraging more bids from your attendees. This is the main reason to incorporate a both a live and a silent auction into your fundraising event as this will result in the highest possible funds raised.
During a live auction, attendees are going head-to-head in a bidding war. They often get so caught up in the excitement that they call out higher bids without a second thought. When rationality goes out the window, who knows how much money you could raise? In fact, 50% of all sales come from live auctions!
Silent auctions are the way to go if you have a lot of items to auction off, but you can always incorporate a live component to sell some of more expensive or unique items. A good auctioneer will almost always generate high bids, which means more money raised per item – and more money raised altogether.
If you decide to host a silent auction, maybe because you're using the auction as a complement to your main event, there are some ways that you can work to make it very effective. If you're hosting a silent auction with a live auction, leave the big-ticket items for the live auction and place the items of less value on the bidding tables. Make sure to set up the tables so that attendees can easily go back and forth throughout the night, and remind the audience to check on their bids periodically. If you allow time for breaks during a dance or a golf tournament, guests can also use that time to head over to the bidding table.
Before you plan your next event, think about the outcome you're hoping to achieve. If you're trying to raise as much money as possible, which is the goal of most non-profits hosting a fundraising event, consider doing a combination of both a live and silent auction to get the results you want.
Five main traps when fundraising.
While planning your next Fundraising event there are several key aspects you need to take into consideration and certain things you need to be aware of, in order to make the right decision when it comes to selecting a fundraising organisation to help you.
1) Commissions. Some companies will charge a commission on YOUR Donated items! Yes, they aim to take a percentage on the sale of items you have worked hard to procure, at no cost.
With Ezybidz this is not the case. We have never before charged any commission on donated items or services and will never do so in the future. When you choose Ezybidz, you get 100% of the funds on your donated items and 100% of funds over the cost price on consignment items! In addition to this you will be assured of the most professional service and the most amazing donated items without any unnecessary commissions.
2) Authenticity of items. When the guests at your event are bidding on an item, they certainly want to know if the item is real and unquestionably authentic. This can be a deal-breaker in obtaining a successful bid on an item that will benefit your fundraising event. Worse still a faulty item or bad experiences which can come from unexperienced companies could put guest off supporting your charity again in the future!
Ezybidz has been in the industry for over 15 years and buys from only reputable sources, some for over a decade. All items come with a certificate of authenticity issued by Ezybidz, who stand behind their products, 100%.
3) Hidden charges. One thing you must be aware of when deciding on your Fundraising partner is the hidden charges that may arise. At Ezybidz Fundraising Solutions, we can offer our technology and services, along with aspirational (and sought after) experiences and items, all with NO upfront or hidden charges. We are a fundraising solutions company and our main aim is to help you gain as many funds as possible for your charity.
Some companies charge a fee if your guests lose their bidding card, which they can't participate in the auction without. Beware of these costs.
4) Paying for the system when it comes to electronic bidding, there is always a sophisticated system involved and most IT companies charge their customers to use their electronic bidding system.
Ezybidz does not. We aim to provide our world-leading electronic system at NO-cost, so both you and your guests can enjoy the simplicity of electronic bidding, with no hit to your bottom line!
5) Event staffing coordinating a Fundraising event can be a rewarding but overwhelming task, especially when faced with running an electronic auction! While volunteers are supremely beneficial, they may fall short on expertise in fundraising auctions. So where do you turn?
Ezybidz will arrange professional staff who are dedicated to help you succeed in exceeding your Fundraising goals! We call our team: Customer Service Representatives (CSR), who will run both the Live and Silent Auction, including collecting payments to completely relieve you of the stress. This comes at NO-cost, and with up to a dozen CSR's able to be provided for your event, think how much the IT companies offering electronic bidding will charge for that!
So while organising your next fundraising event, be aware of these 5 hidden traps that are out there and be aware of the possibilities that arise by choosing Ezybidz. Just remember, Ezybidz Cares!
If you're wondering whether or not your fundraising is headed in the right direction, there is news for you: healthy development programs require a lot more than just steadily increasing revenue. Sure, raising more this year than last year is important, but to be certain that your growth is sustainable, you need more.
Question #1: When is Your Next Newsletter Coming Out, and Who is Responsible for It?
Do you know when your organization's next newsletter is coming out? If not, would you know where to look up the answer? Do you know who is responsible for getting the newsletter out the door?
Planning is a key trait of successful non-profits. Good fundraising plans require deadlines and responsibilities – meaning that for every goal, there are deadlines when certain actions will be accomplished, and it is clear who will be responsible for each action. How strong is your non-profit's fundraising plan?
Question #2: What is Your Donor Retention Rate?
Donor movement is a fundamental discipline of strong non-profits. You must have a plan for moving your donors through the fundraising funnel, and you have to know where each donor stands and how successful you are at moving donors through the funnel.
If you don't know your current donor retention rate, it is highly likely that you are not moving donors through the funnel efficiently or tracking them effectively.
Question #3: Why Should Donors Give to Your Organization – Today?
Quick! In 30 seconds or less, can you give a great explanation of why donors should care about your organization and make a donation today?
Your non-profit's case for support is a key foundation for successfully raising more money each and every year. If you don't have a strong and compelling case statement, or if you and your team aren't grounded enough in that case statement to be able to give a short, compelling reason to give at a moment's notice, chances are that your fundraising will suffer.
Question #4: How Many of Your Current Donors Came through Referrals?
Did you know that the single best source of new prospects for your fundraising program is referrals from current donors, board members, volunteers and other supporters?
What percentage of your current donor base came through referrals from other donors? If you don't know the answer to this question, it is probably because your non-profit isn't focused on referrals or doesn't have a referral system in place.
Focusing on referrals can significantly increase your donor pipeline and will help your organization dramatically increase fundraising revenue.
Take some time to answer the four questions above. If there are some questions you don't know the answer to, or some answers that you think could be better, don't fret – these four questions are a starting point for better fundraising. Once you answer them, you'll know where you need to focus your energies in the year to come.
Electronic Bidding, The Fastest Growing Fundraising Auction Platform.
But Do You Know Why?
Ok, we know electronic bidding is the fastest growing fundraising auction platform around the globe but do we know what is driving its popularity?
Here are some key findings from a focus group study and research reports, stating key motivations behind why guests enjoy engaging in online electronic silent auctions.
Why online mobile auctions are attractive?
Think about these key factors and statistics. With a global shift towards an online life, over 90% penetration rate of the internet, and mobile device penetration rate standing well over 80% in Australia, with predictions it will overtake PC's in 2014, put simply, it's part of our lives. Everyone has a mobile device and knows how to use the internet.
You have a generation of experienced bidders in the various online auctions sites, so people already know how to use online auction systems.
Research shows with the Gen X, Gen Y and even late Boomers, there is no real learning necessary.
Research found one motivating factor is guests and charity supporters can integrate electronic silent auction bidding in their lifestyles, at the event, on their own terms, within their own schedule. In addition, they can bid for auction items from the comfort of their seats at the event, even from their bedrooms which from research reveal, guests feel it makes the process much easier.
Much research has been done about the competitive factor driving higher bids, excitement and being the key motivation for guests to engage in electronic bidding for charity silent auctions. Once you have bid for an item on your phone, you are sent instant outbid alerts, which is great for engagement. When you win, you are also instantly messaged. This further drives the competitive nature of guests leveraged through electronic bidding technology.
Research shows some women are not as keen on live auctions, where they are competing in the public eye or even against friends.
However women make up the large majority of bidders on average at fundraising auctions, so you would be missing out on potential major contributors.
A focus group report found women prefer silent auctions because it cuts out this barrier, and electronic online bidding allows them to still compete without direct conflict.
This brings all the above factors together. You know how to use your mobile for fundraising auctions, its right in your hand so it's convenient; it drives your competitive nature by constant alerts. You can avoid competing in the public directly or against friends.
So What Impact Does This Have On Fundraising?
You have guests engaged with a streamlined electronic bidding system that allows multiple bidders engrossed at the event, as well as from multiple locations, increasing efficiency and ultimately generating more funds raised.
From a strategic planning perspective, you see all the data about what items are selling well and to who during the auction in real time, as well as after, where you can see patterns in bidder behavior, can adjust appropriately, and most importantly for selection of items for future fundraising events.
It's a hassle free option with low investment and proven high returns.
Are You Making The Biggest Mistake In Fundraising Auctions?
What could be a bigger mistake in fundraising auctions than losing a percentage of the money you raise to a fundraising company? After all your hard work pulling together a multifaceted fundraising gala event with entertainment and decorations, arranging media coverage, inviting your supporters, and of course procuring those have-to-have items for your auction, why would you allow a fundraising company to skim the cream from what you raise?
It's a question that boggles our minds. And what further astounds us is that these companies often provide their bidding system with no service! That means that you are paying to do the work of loading all of your auction items into their program and running the auction yourself, including if anything goes wrong. They might even tell you that this way you're keeping everything internal and will have more control over your auction. Of course you'll have more control – you'll be doing all the work for the auction on top of everything else that needs to happen at your event!
Fixed pricing is the only way to ensure that your budget is fixed and not hit by nasty surprises. Save thousands of dollars over electronic bidding providers with fees that are based on the financial success of your event. You're paying for a fixed service – why should you pay more when nothing more is done to earn it?
Avoid this mistake by examining electronic bidding providers and finding out up-front what you expect to pay. Ezybidz is proud to be able to offer our premium silent auction bidding system with our full service, including our staff at your event, at no cost to you by including fixed price consignment items in your auction. Or you can simply pay the flat rate for this same service without the consignment items. Discover more by calling us on 1300 399 243.

To follow tradition, head for the city-centre Tuileries Gardens, Paris's oldest public park and a magnificent example of a French formal garden. Formerly, the Tuileries Gardens were a prime location for libertine behaviour. The wide pathways were once the theatre for love and games of chance. These days you're more likely to see couples crunching toffee apples at the funfair here in summer.
On the Left Bank, woo your lover in a more 'classical' style in the Luxembourg Gardens, a haven of greenery in the heart of Paris. The perfect place to wander arm-in-arm along the shady pathways admiring the magnificent statues… The ideal spot for a kiss? In front of the famous Medici fountain!
For a passionate encounter, head for the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, in the 19th arrondissement. This enchanting setting is popular with lovebirds: an old railway line, a suspension bridge, a grotto, a waterfall… What more could you wish for?
For whispering sweet nothings, the Jardin de Rohan and the Jardin de Fontenay at the National Archives are favourite spots with lovebirds. These restored locations have the atmosphere of a romantic 19th-century garden with umbrella pine trees, gloriettes and topiary. When the weather is really cold, it is cosy to soak up the tropical atmosphere of the Serres d'Auteuil or the greenhouses at the Jardin des plantes.
Every park has its own style and ambiance: floral for the Parc de Bagatelle, classical for the Parc Monceau, refined in the gardens of the Musée de la Vie Romantique and tropical in the big glasshouses of the Jardin des Plantes… Take your pick!
Green spaces in the heart of Greater Paris: a breath of fresh air in the middle of the city!

A normal stress echo does not preclude subsequent ACS, nor should it lower suspicion for ACS when a patient presents with new symptoms!
Nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging is generally appropriate in patients with acute chest pain in which the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome is unclear, to determine whether or not cardiac catheterization is indicated, or to determine prognosis. Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) has been developed by the American College of Cardiology and is updated regularly. . Absolute contraindications to stress testing include acute myocardial infarction (within 2 days), unstable angina, and symptomatic heart failure. . The decision to perform nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging or stress echo imaging generally depends upon local expertise. The benefit of nuclear imaging is that it can be performed in nearly 100% of patients, whereas echo stress testing is more limited by body habitus and the ability to obtain good imaging windows quickly after stressing the patient. The benefit of echo stress testing is lower costs and no radiation exposure. The amount of radiation exposure from a stress-rest nuclear myocardial perfusion scan is typically 10 mSv or less for gamma camera based imaging (similar to a chest CT), and under 5 mSv for PET imaging.
Patients with acute chest pain with possible acute coronary syndrome: a) ECG shows no ischemic changes, LBBB, or electronically ventricular paced rhythm; and b) negative to borderline elevated troponin levels.
Asymptomatic patients in need of risk stratification typically will undergo exercise ECG testing only. Imaging is indicated only when the ECG is uninterpretable, the patient is unable to adequately exercise, or the pretest probability is intermediate or high.
Symptomatic patients with an uncertain diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome frequently undergo a stress imaging procedure first, then depending upon the result, may or may not undergo cardiac catheterization.
The decision regarding stress nuclear versus stress echo is usually made based upon availability of local expertise.

I had these friends when I was at Burnley College. we went drinking together a lot. The girls: Bee and Karen, and the lads: Stephen, Adam, Amer, Shaun and Mark. Not always all of us all the time, but Bee, Adam and Ste were the regular ones to come back to my mums house with me after the pub shut. We mucked about - all innocent enough and none of us dated each other although the photographs (which I still have) always look dodgy! There's one partricularly famous one of Ste and Adam in thier underwear in my mums frount room, one holding hadcuffs, and the other wearing rubber gloves.... which was then doctored to look like something from the Rocky Horror Show and plastered on the internet (my first use for the internet actually).
Things being what they are, when I come to Lancaster I lost touch with most of them. Shaun I was engaged to for a while so he came with me, Ste got engaged to Ange and they had a kid toether, so I still heared about him from time to time until they split up, Mark driffed back into my life for a short time before his own problems took him away again. Bee I saw at the school reunion last year, and although we were once best friends, a doubt if either of us has any intention of getting back in contact (love/loathing... fine line). Amer and Adam just slipped out of my life completely.
Just recently Ste turned up on FaceBook and made a friends request. At first I wasn't too sure about accepting it because things have not always been great between him and Ange, but then again I was friends with them both before they got together and split up, and it's not like I'm about to bump her from 'oldest and dearest' friend status just because I talk to him occasionally. She's more important to me than that, and he's not done any harm to me.
I when he left a comment on one of my FaceBook photos (asking about my red hair) I sent a reply, and mentioned 'that' photo. He was suprised that I still had it, and asked if I had heard about what had happened to Adam. I replye that I hadn't seen or heard a thing in almost 10 years, why?
And here's the thing. Back in Feb this year Adam collaposed, and lost his memory. All of it. Gone. even his wife and there soon-to-be-born son.
Ste also sent me a link to Adam's MySpace page, which has his diary from the time he spent in hospital.
I've been racking my brain to think if there is anything I could send him to help him along, but asaide from the fact that i haven't seen him in 10 years, I'm shocked to discover didn't know him all that well! He liked sports, he liked going out with his mates and having a drink, and usually ended up removing some article of clothing in the process. All things which don't seem to have changed and he has worked out for himself with the help of more recent and current friends and photos.
It's still a bit of a shock to me, even though this guy was only a small part of my life for a short time. His diary is a wonderful read and I recommend it to everyone.

HERCULES AND THE PRINCESS OF TROY (1965) Gordon Scott, Paul Stevens. One of the best spectacle films we offer—really. Scott is very good as Hercules in this wonderful color fantasy. A giant sea dragon must be fed a beautiful female virgin from time to time, otherwise it will wreak havoc upon an ancient Greek city. When the local warriors are unable to kill the beast, Hercules steps up to the plate. Originally intended as a TV pilot, but syndicated as a short feature instead. Color, 16mm FURY OF ACHILLES (1962) Gordon Mitchell, Jacques Bergerac, Gloria Milland. The epic story of Troy. Achilles, who initially resists the idea of leading an attack on the fortified city, eventually leads the Greeks to victory over the embattled Trojans.

Q: Render environment in DirectX I want to program for DirectX in C# and i have DirectX SDK,
what kind of project should be choose ? Windows form or ....

A: You should ask yourself first: What's the purpose of my project?
If you intend to building applications with beautiful 2D-3D visuals, then you just need to learn WPF.
On the other hand, if you wanna build games that require a lot of resources, XNA is the way to go.
Building applications on XNA is a lot of pain, since XNA is built for gaming.
The same can be said about building games with WPF.
In both cases, you don't need to communicate natively with DirectX (Which could be done via C++). Unless you're building a low level rendering engine, or a (very) high budget game.

A: You should use XNA, that is the replacement for Managed DirectX C#

Microsoft XNA ('XNA's Not Acronymed) is a set of tools with a managed runtime environment provided by Microsoft that facilitates computer game development and management. XNA attempts to free game developers from writing "repetitive boilerplate code" and to bring different aspects of game production into a single system.

From Wikipedia XNA Article.
Unless you want to just render windows but WPF might be the best options.  See this blog post.

A: XNA:
XNA is a game oriented framework that allow you to target multiple hardware easily (Windows, the Xbox 360, Zune and now Windows Phone 7 with version 4) using .NET languages like C#.
Note that there's not a 1-1 relation between XNA and the DirectX SDK, for instance, it doesn't expose D3D10 or D3D11 or some interfaces that you can find in D3DX.
.NET Wrappers:
If your are looking for something similar than the native DirectX API, you have 3 options:

*

*Windows® API Code Pack for Microsoft® .NET Framework:
wraps a bunch of Windows native libraries such as DirectX so they can be used from managed code. Note it doesn't expose API's prior to D3D10 such as D3D9.

*SlimDX: Same thing but only for DirectX and exposes Direct3D from version 9 to 11 (SlimDX is an aside project that is not related to Microsoft).

*C++/CLI and DIY the wrapper: Unless you have special needs, I wouldn't recommend it.
The final choice depends on your needs. If it's just for learning purpose of the DirectX API but in C#, I would say pick the Windows API Code Pack or SlimDX.


If there was ever a Monday to skip, it'd be this one! We.are.tired! Last night, we stayed up way too late watching SuperBowl commercials & Adam Levine (maybe a little bit of football) and could really use the day off. But honestly, we're making it through thanks to our magical birthday on Saturday!! We still can't get over how much fun it was & how much love we got from Saturday! Thank you babes for making our 8th birthday one to remember! We had so many questions about our "Forema Magic 8 Ball" & "Magic Popcorn", that we thought we'd share a little on how we threw our Magic 8ball themed party!
Like most party planning, we started with the decor! We knew we really wanted to go all out with our Magic 8Ball theme so we turned to Pinterest to help make our theme come alive. We loved these giant 8ball balloons from AwwSam's blog! We followed the link exactly and it was super easy!
We also wanted to make sure we thanked you all with amazing specials! So, once again, we took to Pinterest and made our very own magic 8 ball & 'the outcome looked good' ;) Here's how to make your own!

Take A Break From Ripple XRP & Watch Me Make +$450 In 45 Mins Day Trading!
Normal crypto is a code-based holding built to work as an item of exchange. Additional coins are added via mining. Anyone can get involved by using their computer.
Mining requires a great deal of time and electrical energy, though. A fast computer is also needed, to do this successfully. On the other hand, XRP is a centralised coin, which cannot be mined. A limited supply of tokens were made by the firm and this limit will not be exceeded.
Looking to invest in Ripple? The process is extremely straightforward but investors need to be careful, whenever initiating an internet purchase of any kind.
At present, in excess of fifty percent of all buys are made over the internet. Online shopping is convenient and easy, which is why more and more citizens are turning to this option rather than battling the crowds in the high street. The internet also allows people to carry out more valuable research and pick-up the most advantageous deals. Even so, there remains a murky side to e-commerce. Here are the crucial guidelines, consumers must follow.
Always buy from your house/apartment. Thieves can easily access your info when you make use of public wifi connections, therefore it's less dangerous to order from your living-room than in retail premises. Avoid making purchases when you are passing through bus stations, guesthouses or any kind of free free wifi zones.
Steer clear of social network deals. Don't rely on these sorts of offers as the majority of URLs are deceptive. This means buyers can't be sure that the link transports you to a genuine site.
Purchase with your credit card. Never use your debit card. More than 50% of debit cards require that acts of fraud be reported in less than two days to get limit liability. Do not wire money to vendors. You won't be able to get your cash refunded if you do this. Be sure to examine credit card statements. Sort online receipts inside a secure email folder, so you can crosscheck payments.
Never supply any additional details. There's no need to provide a driver license number. They shouldn't ask your social security details either. Should any company demand this information, it should concern you. Choose complicated passwords that you still can remember. Then if your computer asks to save the password, always select 'No'. Should someone else gain access to your device then they could potentially discover your credit card number and code.
Watch you don't fall for gift voucher scams. When you receive an email that says you can be sent a gift card and then asks your credit card info, mark it as spam. Legitimate sellers will never ask such sensitive info. Please remember this, because it is important that individuals act wisely when buying online. Order from home and make sure that the company is trustworthy.
We hope you'll add CrypMkt.com to your bookmarks and come back regularly to find out about everything happening with Ripple.

Sánchez will declare the towns affected by the flood as a catastrophic zone
The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has advanced that "this week" the Executive will approve, as "corresponds", the declaration as a catastrophic area, officially called the area seriously affected by a civil protection emergency, the places affected by the last storms and the rising of the Ebro river. This had been requested by the autonomous leaders of Navarra, María Chivite, and Aragón, Javier Lambán, before the advance of the flood.
Sánchez thus began his speech at the closing ceremony of the act "Dialogues on the future: building the Spain that we will be", expressing his condolences for those who died from this meteorological situation.
As the "current situation demands us", the president has addressed the people who are suffering the "terrible consequences of the storm" and has congratulated the civil protection and emergency services for the work they are developing and made a "call to prudence".
The Secretary of Organization of the PSOE, Santos Cerdán, has advanced that in the meeting of the Federal Executive Commission they have valued the need to declare the municipalities of Navarra, La Rioja and Aragón seriously affected by the floods as natural disaster areas.
At the same time, at a press conference, the federal PSOE spokesman, Felipe Sicilia, also conveyed his condolences for the two people who have lost their lives and sent a message of support to the affected areas.

The past two decades have seen a revolution in multiple myeloma (MM) therapy with the introduction of several small molecules, mostly orally effective, whose mechanisms are based on proteasome inhibition, histone deacetylase (HDAC) blockade, and immunomodulation. Immunotherapeutic approaches to MM treatment using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), while long in development, began to reap success with the identification of CD38 and SLAMF7 as suitable targets for development, culminating in the 2015 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of daratumumab and elotuzumab, respectively. This review highlights additional mAbs now in the developmental pipeline. Isatuximab, another anti-CD38 mAb, currently is under study in four phase III trials and may offer certain advantages over daratumumab. Several antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in the early stages of development are described, including JNJ-63723283, which has attained FDA breakthrough status for MM. Other mAbs described in this review include denosumab, recently approved for myeloma-associated bone loss, and checkpoint inhibitors, although the future status of the latter combined with immunomodulators has been clouded by unacceptably high death rates that caused the FDA to issue clinical holds on several of these trials. Also highlighted are the therapies based on the B Cell Maturation Antigen (BCMA), another very promising target for anti-myeloma development.

Violence and Micro-Sized Religious Minorities: A Conversation with Jessica Soedirgo
By: Jessica Soedirgo
What motivates violence against micro-sized religious minorities, groups that make up less than 1% of a national population? The escalation of violence against Ahmadiyah and Shia communities in Indonesia over the past two decades can provide valuable insight into this question, as well as broader discussions on nationalism and religion in public life.
This week the Berkley Forum sat down with Dr. Jessica Soedirgo, who completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Georgetown University in April 2021, to discuss her research on violence against Ahmadiyah and Shia communities in Indonesia. What follows is a transcript of the conversation, edited for length and clarity.
What types of violence have Ahmadiyah and Shia communities experienced in Indonesia?
It would first be useful to consider the religious violence that occurred during the democratization period, which began in 1998. We can contrast that with anti-Shia and anti-Ahmadiyah violence, which really begins to escalate after 2005. Violence in Indonesia during democratization was really quite large scale, with large numbers of people killed, injured, and displaced.
This is distinct from the violence carried out against Ahmadiyah and Shia communities in Indonesia, where you had much lower levels of killing, displacement, and injury. Though there were cases like in the village of Sampang—where you had the displacement of an entire Shia community through mass arson, vandalism, and intimidation—most anti-Ahmadiyah and anti-Shia violence unfolded during protests. Violence tended to be of a lower scale, taking the form of vandalism of mosques, throwing rocks and debris at religious minorities, and defacing symbolic items. So, anti-Ahmadiyah and anti-Shia violence is still scary, but is distinct from the violence that preceded it during democratization.
What religious or political factors have contributed to the rise of violence against these Muslim minorities in Indonesia?
I see two political processes as particularly significant: democratization and decentralization. During the authoritarian New Order regime, religion was managed very carefully, with the regime repressing political Islam, at least until the 1990s. Only certain kinds of organizations were allowed to organize, generally the "moderate" organizations.
Democratization saw the lifting of restrictions on organization, meaning that organizations across the spectrum of religious ideology were able to organize. The organizations that were allowed to organize during the New Order occupied this moderate Muslim space, so in the democratic era, more conservative groups had less representation. As such, there was a benefit to being conservative because this part of the spectrum was wide open.
This attempt to occupy the conservative spectrum was an important driver of anti-Ahmadiyah and anti-Shia violence, because a lot of the perpetrators—which included Muslim hardliner groups such as the Islamic Defenders Front—were organizing and gaining followers in this space. So that's how democratization contributed to the rise of anti-minority violence.
In terms of decentralization, decentralization makes local politics more significant. When you have these small groups, they're not really nationally significant. But when I looked at their experiences historically, they were locally significant. There were tensions between Sunni communities against Ahmadi and Shia communities historically. Decentralization really allowed these local cleavages to become more salient because local politics became really relevant. On top of that, local offices received more resources due to decentralization, meaning that local politicians have more incentives to win political office, heightening competition. Further, local hardliner groups have more opportunities to gain access to patronage. And they mobilized to show that they were important and could help politicians politically.
Is there a path toward peace for Muslim minority communities in Indonesia? If so, what could that look like?
A lot of these hardliner groups were actually quite successful in using anti-minority mobilization to make a case for their political relevance. Anti-minority mobilization was really strategic for them because it showed that they had a lot of power, and it also signaled opportunities to collaborate between politicians and different leaders.
By 2013, they were already a known entity, so groups did not have to spend resources in order to get access to power and patronage. So, the inclusion of actors who have been complicit in anti-minority violence is one way to re-establish political order. This is pretty well established in the literature on peacebuilding, where people need to buy into the system.
If we're thinking about long-term inclusion, I would argue that the pathway is to re-emphasize the belonging of minority groups into the Indonesian national community.
In my book project, I make the argument that Ahmadiyah and Shia communities pose a challenge to the category of "Muslim" because of their theological differences. The Ahmadis, for example, believe that the founder of their sect is a prophet; this means that there is a prophet after Muhammad. This belief is seen as disruptive to group boundaries.
One way to say that these groups are actually not a threat is to reconfigure understandings of where these groups belong. So, maybe Sunni Muslims will never say that Ahmadis are Muslim, but they might be able to say that Ahmadis are Indonesian. That is probably the long-term goal, but it is extremely challenging to get there.
What might your research in Indonesia suggest about violence against religious minorities and modalities of intergroup conflict elsewhere?
I see Ahmadiyah and Shia communities in Indonesia as examples of what I call micro-sized groups or groups that are less than 1% of the national population.
There are micro-sized groups everywhere, including a lot of religious micro-sized groups. The Religion and State database notes that there are at least 351 micro-sized groups, and 93 of them have experienced some level of repression and violence.
My argument makes the case that violence against these groups is about the public challenge they pose to group boundaries, which are seen as threatening. My work asks us to think beyond material threats. It suggests that symbolic threats—the ways groups occupy public space—are important. Public practices matter, and these public practices inform threat perception.
How has the Georgetown community contributed to your work as a postdoctoral fellow? What are your plans after leaving Georgetown?
I have been working on my book project at Georgetown, focusing particularly on a major article that will come out as part of this project on violence against micro-sized groups.
In addition, I've been very fortunate that Georgetown has funded a research assistant for me, Tyler Seuc, who has done a wonderful job in helping me build a data set that more clearly situates the experience of Ahmadis and Shia with other religious minorities.
In general, I think one of the best things about coming to a new institution is the new people that you meet and the ways that just listening to their ideas can really help widen your intellectual perspective. It's very invigorating to have exposure to these new ideas and to the wealth of incredibly smart people here at Georgetown.
Since leaving Georgetown, I have joined the Department of Political Science at the University of Amsterdam, where I serve as assistant professor.

At the dawn of the Cold War, a band of WWII aces gathered in the Mojave Desert on a Top Secret quest to break the sound barrier. The true story of what happened in those skies has never been told.
Speed. In 1947, it represented the difference between victory and annihilation.
After Hiroshima, the ability to deliver a nuclear device to its target faster than one's enemy became the singular obsession of American war planners. And so, in the earliest days of the Cold War, a highly classified program was conducted on a desolate air base in California's Mojave Desert. Its aim: to push the envelope of flight to new frontiers. There gathered an extraordinary band of pilots, including Second World War aces Chuck Yeager and George Welch, who risked their lives flying experimental aircraft to reach Mach 1, the so-called sound barrier, which pilots called "the demon."

In a wide-ranging interview with YaleGlobal's Nayan Chanda, Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland, former Prime Minister of Norway and former Director General of the World Health Organization discussed various challenges facing the world. She expressed guarded optimism about the climate change summit in Paris but was concerned about the growing economic inequality in the developed world and rising anti-immigrant, anti-Islamic sentiment in Europe. Brudtland was one of the intended target of Norwegian anti-Islamic fanatic Anders Behring Breivik who killed dozens of socialist youth in July 2011.
