Registered users are required to maintain the confidentiality of their username and password, and must not disclose this information to third parties. Registered users shall assume responsibility for all activities related to the use of their username and password. With registration, registered users are granted access to certain functionalities of the web-portal, which are not accessible to other, nonregistered users.
Vsi.si has no effect on the content or the results of the queries on the Vsi.si search engine. The software automatically examines the World Wide Web for websites that match the size of the Vsi.si web search engine, and temporarily saves the content of the websites found in the data warehouse. Then, the pages in the data warehouse are sorted. When a user enters a keyword into the search engine Vsi.si, the search is automatically done in the index of the stored websites, and the results are properly sorted and displayed to the user.
Because the websites in the search engine results are searched automatically, stored in the data warehouse and sorted by the website content, there may be websites listed in the results of a web search for which their respective owners/managers do not wish for them to be listed among the results of the web search engine. In this case, the website manager can add an online document to the Meta data in which it is stated that the Vsi.si cannot classify or store the document. Vsi.si strictly adheres to these instructions and does not display the so marked websites. This way, web site administrators are given the opportunity to exempt their website from the results of the web search engine. Vsi.si alerts that due to the updating of the data warehouse, the meta bookmark is taken into account from the next update forwards, and therefore, there may be a several days' delay. In this intermediate time, a particular web site or its content is still accessible via the web search engine Vsi.si, or vice versa. The same thing applies in the event when a particular web site or content is deleted, because its quick preview is still available during the transition period.
Vsi.si allows users to sign in the website directory. The sing-up/enrollment fee for 1 (one) year is determined by the price list and depends on the services required by the user. The price list can be found on the vsi.si website. Before the web site publishing, the entry is inspected by an editor, who can either publish or decline it. This inspection happens only once, therefore Vsi.si can only be liable for the web site condition during the web site inspection. Vsi.si cannot and does not take any responsibility for any changes made to the content (news, exclusive campaigns) after the web site inspection, since Vsi.si is not notified about any changes made and has no control over them. If the purchase of the Vsi.si services is paid in part or in full and the customer resigns from the project, Vsi.si reserves the right to withhold the payment.
We reserve the right to terminate the service 10 days after the expiration of the due payment period if we do not receive a payment or at least confirm that the service has been extended or paid.
Vsi.si services do not include advertising on the vsi.si website. For certain Vsi.si products and services, next to general terms and conditions, special terms and conditions may apply. If there is a conflict between them, special terms and conditions shall prevail for each individual service.
Vsi.si has no influence on the display of query results, it is a set of relevant web links to websites outside of its control, according to certain criteria. Vsi.si does not verify the content of the web pages before they are entered into the data warehouse, since verifying is objectively impossible due to the amount of data. This means that the results on the web search engine, Vsi.si could also show a link to a website whose content is illegal, harmful, misleading, and disputable or offensive, for which Vsi.si does not take responsibility. Due to the nature of the Internet, Vsi.si cannot be liable or take liability or responsibility for the content of such websites. Vsi.si is not liable or responsible for any damage that would occur to the user due to the content of the third-party websites, whose link is shown in the results of the online search engine.

Laughing Squid has a recent article about the improving coffee situation in New York. At one point, it seemed that all coffee in NYC was going to be Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts or even McDonalds, but the advent of the small coffee shop is coming in full swing here.
As a recent Brooklynite, one coffee shop I have become a fan of is Coffee Den near Red Hook. It's a small place, family and friend owned, but they brew one hell of a cup of coffee! I can't imagine a Saturday passing by where I'm not there, having a mug of red eye or hot chocolate while I study. The relaxed atmosphere and local regulars make it a nice place to start a Saturday for me.
There are many other coffee shops like this one, which I love. These are the kinds of places that care about what kind of coffee they serve, the quality of their foods, and friendliness towards customers. It's the sort of coffee shop that's more popular in other parts of the US, but is becoming a big part of Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Belgrade, April 20 (IANS) An Indian group will build an IT park in Serbia with an estimated investment of 600 million euros ($788 million).
Serbian Prime Minister Mirko Cvetkovic and Jitendra Virwani, chairman of the India-based Embassy Group, Thursday broke ground for the construction of the IT park.
Cvetkovic said that the 25,000 square meter facility in the town of Indjija, north of Belgrade, represented a new chapter in the economic development of Serbia, reported Xinhua citing Radio Television Serbia (RTS).
An estimated 15,000 jobs are expected to be created by the IT park.
"We believe that the center that will grow on this place will influence a new generation of professionals who will ensure for Serbia the position of a regional leader in the development of information technology," said Cvetkovic.
According to Virwani, the IT park in Indjija would be constructed in phases with the capacity to expand to as much as 250,000 square meters. The facility will produce computer software and hardware.
"Based on our experience in India, we are confident that this business park - the first of its kind in Serbia - will secure the conditions in which large international companies can locate their knowledge centers for the mutual benefit of industry and local experts," said Virwani.


Many personal decisions are made and problems solved through discussion with friend or family. However, there are times when it is right to seek help away from the familiar daily environment. Seeking Counselling is about making a positive choice to get the help that you need. I work from a safe dedicated room close to the town centre with parking facilities.

David Herbert Lawrence, plus connu comme D. H. Lawrence, ( à Eastwood au Royaume-Uni -  à Vence en France) est un écrivain britannique. Auteur de nouvelles, romans, poèmes, pièces de théâtre, essais, livres de voyage, traductions et lettres, il est célèbre notamment pour son roman L'Amant de lady Chatterley.

Ses œuvres rassemblées représentent, entre autres, une réflexion approfondie sur les effets déshumanisants de la modernité et de l'industrialisation. Les écrits de Lawrence explorent des questions telles que la sexualité, la santé émotionnelle, la vitalité, la spontanéité et l'instinct. Ses romans incluent Amants et Fils, L'Arc-en-ciel et Femmes amoureuses.

Les opinions de Lawrence lui ont valu de nombreux ennemis, et il a enduré la persécution officielle, la censure et la fausse représentation de son travail créatif tout au long de la seconde moitié de sa vie, dont une grande partie a été passée dans un exil volontaire qu'il a appelé son « pèlerinage sauvage ».  Au moment de sa mort, sa réputation publique était celle d'un pornographe qui avait gaspillé ses talents considérables. Edward Morgan Forster, dans une notice nécrologique, a contesté ce point de vue largement répandu, le décrivant comme « le plus grand romancier imaginatif de notre génération ».  Plus tard, le critique littéraire F. R. Leavis a défendu à la fois son intégrité artistique et son sérieux moral.

Même s'il fut considéré comme l'un des plus grands écrivains britanniques et mondiaux du XXe siècle, nombreux furent et restent les malentendus qui l'entourent. Bien que quelques féministes aient mis en cause certains de ses propos sur les femmes et la sexualité, il demeure l'un des rénovateurs majeurs de la fiction contemporaine qui sentit le lien profond existant entre esthétique, sexualité et idéologie ; un penseur visionnaire.

Biographie

Jeunesse et formation
Fils de Arthur John Lawrence, un mineur, et de Lydia Beardsall, David Herbert Richards Lawrence voit le jour à Eastwood, dans le Nottinghamshire, le 11 septembre 1885. Après l'école primaire, il poursuit sa scolarité à la Nottingham High School de 1898 à 1901. De 1902 à 1906, Lawrence enseigne dans le primaire, dans une école d'Eastwood. En 1908, il obtient son certificat d'aptitude au professorat à l'université de Nottingham. Durant ses premières années professionnelles, il écrit ses premiers poèmes et quelques nouvelles.

En 1908, il s'installe près de Londres, pour enseigner à Croydon. Ses écrits sont remarqués par Ford Madox Ford puis par Edward Garnett, deux critiques littéraires à la fois écrivains et éditeurs. Après une sévère pneumonie en 1911, Lawrence décide de se consacrer pleinement à la littérature. De retour à Nottingham en 1912, il rencontre la baronne Frieda von Richthofen, l'épouse d'un de ses anciens professeurs. De six ans son aînée, Frieda l'initie aux plaisirs charnels, alors qu'il lui fait découvrir la poésie. Il l'épouse deux ans plus tard, après un périple riche en péripéties, en Allemagne et en Italie.

Maturité et voyages
Juste après la guerre, en 1919, Lawrence quitte l'Angleterre et mène une vie d'errance d'un continent à l'autre. Il voyage ainsi en Australie, en Italie, à Ceylan, aux États-Unis, au Mexique et dans le Sud de la France. La première étape de son voyage le mène en Italie, dans la région des Abruzzes, puis à Capri et à Taormina en Sicile. Depuis la Sicile, il rayonne en Sardaigne, à Malte, dans le nord de l'Italie, en Autriche et dans le sud de l'Allemagne. Soucieux d'expériences authentiques, il parcourt l'arrière-pays sarde dans le petit train reliant les villages. Profitant de ses voyages pour expérimenter de nouvelles sensations, Lawrence continue à écrire régulièrement. Pendant cette période, il écrit notamment Women in Love (Femmes amoureuses), et The Lost Girl (La Fille perdue).

Répondant en 1922, à l'invitation d'une riche Américaine, le couple s'embarque pour les États-Unis. Après une escale à Ceylan, puis une autre en Australie, qui inspire l'auteur pour ses romans Kangaroo et Jack dans la brousse, ils font escale en Nouvelle-Zélande, et enfin à Tahiti. En septembre 1922, ils débarquent en Amérique, où ils demeurent jusqu'en 1925.

Entre mars 1923 et mars 1925, Lawrence et Frieda font trois voyages au Mexique, où ils passeront au total environ un an. Ils s'installent notamment près de Guadalajara. L'auteur, qui s'intéresse à la civilisation amérindienne, commence alors à écrire Le Serpent à plumes. À l'automne 1923, le couple regagne l'Europe, visite Paris et Baden-Baden. L'année suivante, ils repartent pour New York, en compagnie d'une jeune anglaise, Dorothy Brett. En 1925, l'auteur écrit St Mawr (L'Étalon). Apprenant qu'il est condamné par la tuberculose, Lawrence regagne l'Europe à l'automne. Le couple mène dès lors une vie errante, en Angleterre, Allemagne, France, Espagne, Suisse et surtout Italie. En 1926, Lawrence publie The Plumed Serpent. Il effectue son dernier séjour en Angleterre. À Florence, les époux Lawrence se lient d'amitié avec le romancier Aldous Huxley et son épouse.

L'Amant de lady Chatterley
Lawrence a écrit son dernier roman plusieurs fois. Trois versions en seront finalement publiées :
 The First Lady Chatterley, Penguin, 1973.  version, écrite d'octobre à décembre 1926 ; publiée en 1944 par Dial Press à New York ; saisie, puis autorisée après procès ;
 John Thomas and Lady Jane, Penguin, 1973.  version, écrite trois fois (!), de décembre 1926 à février 1927 ; publiée en 1972 par Heinemann  ;
 Lady Chatterley's Lover, Penguin, 1990.  version, écrite de novembre 1927 à janvier 1928 ; imprimée à compte d'auteur à Florence en mars et publiée en juin, l'éditeur londonien de Lawrence, Secker, ayant refusé de prendre ce risque.

Lawrence était gravement malade, atteint d'une tuberculose pulmonaire, incurable à l'époque. Il l'apprend de son médecin en 1925. Souffrant d'hémoptysie en , il écrit alors très vite la  version puis la publie .

Le livre fait scandale, il est saisi pour « obscénité » fin  par les autorités britanniques et américaines. Une édition est publiée en  à Paris.

Il faudra attendre 1959 à New York (Grove Press) et 1960 à Londres (Penguin) pour que paraisse dans ces pays une version non expurgée du texte, les deux fois après procès . Il faut citer la dédicace des éditions Penguin :

En France, le livre est traduit par F. Roger-Cornaz en 1932 et publié par Gallimard.

En 1929, Lawrence publie Pansies (Pensées), un recueil de poèmes qui est confisqué par la justice.

Ses peintures saisies à Londres
Une exposition de ses peintures provoque un scandale à Londres, et ses tableaux sont saisis par la police.

Il écrit alors Pornographie et obscénité.

Pour son honneur et la défense de son œuvre, il publie À Propos of Lady Chatterley's Lover (Défense de Lady Chatterley) en 1930.

Rattrapé par la maladie, Lawrence s'éteint le 2 mars 1930, à Vence, où il séjourne en compagnie de son épouse Frieda et des Huxley.

Publications de son œuvre
Non seulement Lawrence est reconnu comme l'un des plus grands auteurs et romanciers britanniques, mais également comme l'un des meilleurs auteurs de récits de voyage. En 1921, il écrit Sardaigne et Méditerranée, un récit du mode de vie des Méditerranéens.

Students are given online simulation tools at PHET Colorado as well as a set of key learning objectives. In teams, they are then tasked with using these resources to build a lab for future students which has students performing experiments using the simulations to better understand the learning objectives.
My students do some pretty neat stuff when given such open-ended assignments, and the quality of the work is often times at a level where, with minimal modification, it could be handed out to another class as an actual lab learning activity.

Though The Dick Van Dyke Show creator Carl Reiner was unable to be by her side at the time of her death, he did get the chance to tell Mary Tyler Moore some loving final words.
"I spoke to her husband [Dr. Robert Levine] the day or so before she passed away," Reiner told Entertainment Tonight. "I remember telling him, 'She may not hear you, but whisper in her ear that it's okay to go. You can go.' "
The iconic actress, who played Laura Petrie on The Dick Van Dyke Show from 1961–66, died on Wednesday at age 80. A source told PEOPLE she had been on a ventilator and had been hospitalized with pneumonia due to complications from her diabetes, and according to her longtime rep, she passed away in the company of friends and her husband of more than 33 years.

"She had this childhood diabetes and had lost her sight — practically all of it," Reiner recalled of seeing Moore for the last time at an event. "I came up to her, and she was looking at me, and she wasn't recognizing me until I spoke, and then she lit up. I realized she couldn't see me, and that was very sad."
Speaking about her final months, Reiner said that they all knew the actress' time was winding down, but her death still came as a shock.
"She spent her last months at home with hospice people around, not communicative," said Reiner. "We had known about it for a while, but you're never not shocked. When I turned on the television and learned Mary had gone, it was a shock. At 80. I'm 94 now, and I hope to go a few more years. I've got work to do."
"Mary, you were the greatest," Reiner expressed to the outlet. "You and Dick [Van Dyke] defined my life at one period, and I'll never forget you for what you did for me by being Laura Petrie."

X-Men Producer Reveals One Big Challenge Facing Marvel As It Takes On The Fox Characters
By Corey Chichizola published 5 February 19
It's no secret that superhero movies are everywhere, as comic book movies have become the most profitable and popular genre in the business. The X-Men franchise was there before it all blew up, although the OG franchise is seemingly in jeopardy as the Disney and Fox merger looms above both studios. Fans are eager to see the X-Men finally join the MCU proper, although there are a few challenges to making this move happen.
X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner recently spoke to this challenge at TCA. When fielding questions from the audience, she was asked if Channing Tatum's Gambit movie was going to survive the upcoming Disney/Fox merger, she said:
That is up to Disney. That really is up to Disney. I hope so, but that's up to them. The problem is, as you guys well know, you cannot have too many Marvel X-Men superhero movies out there because we will cancel each other out. Each one has to be distinctive.
You've got to admit, she's got a point. While revealing that the Gambit movie's fate is currently unclear, Lauren Shuler Donner also addresses an issue that the fans might not be thinking of: Marvel Studios has to edit down its schedule in order to avoid superhero fatigue.
When 20th Century Fox was poising to compete with the MCU, a variety of new and exciting projects were announced, in addition to the main installment Dark Phoenix. This includes the Deadpool franchise, horror inspired The New Mutants, rom-com superhero flick Gambit, and developing a Kitty Pryde movie. But now that the House of Mouse is acquiring the rights to the mutants, the studio may want to simplify so that it doesn't oversaturate the genre.
In her same conversation at TCA, of which CinemaBlend's Nick Venable was in attendance, Lauren Shuler Donner went on to warn Marvel Studios Kevin Feige about overstuffing the upcoming Phase Four of movies. As she expanded,
And yet you've got the Avengers to follow through, you've got so many distinctive story canons to follow through, and yet you want new ones. I don't think you can have more than four. Four is a lot. Because people are gonna get sick of them. So we have to be careful. He has to be careful, Kevin.
While comic book fans are no doubt eager to see the X-Men and Avengers collide in a future installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there is a certain risk involved. Disney now has the keys to a ton of iconic comic book properties, making proper scheduling and editing see all the more important. Then again, the inevitable departure of OG Avengers like Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Chris Hemsworth may create space for mutant stories in Phase Four.
Marvel's next installment will be Captain Marvel on March 8th, while the X-Men franchise will continue with Dark Phoenix on June 7th 2019. In the meantime, check out our 2019 release list to plan your next trip to the movies.

Q: Matlab Errorbar Not Working I'm running Matlab2015a on Windows 8.1; recently I formatted my computer, and after reinstalling the software the "errorbar" function is not working anymore.
When using a code like
      figure
      x=rand(10,1);
      y=rand(10,1);
      error=rand(10,1);
      errorbar(x,y,error,'.b','markersize',12);

Matlab opens a new figure and plots the points, but no error bars appear; no error or warning message is given in the Command Window.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software, but nothing changed. The function used to work perfectly before formatting the computer.
Any idea of the source of this problem?

Former Manchester United striker Eric Cantona has found himself fronting an internet campaign urging the world to take money out of their banks on the same day.
Over 15,000 French protesters have signed their names to Facebook groups urging people to 'take our money out of banks' in one swoop on 7 December – and the enigmatic Cantona has become the catalyst for the campaign after he appeared in a YouTube clip talking about 'destroying' the banking system.
Support has swollen around the world with social networking sites in Spain, the US, Italy, Mexico, Korea and many others already attracting thousands of new sign-ups and 'Likes'.
Organisers behind newly-formed 'StopBanque', who are leading the campaign, say the idea is for a mass protest against what they see as a 'corrupt, criminal and deadly system'.
The idea is to bring the global banking system to its knees. Banks hold only a fraction of deposits at any one time – with the rest being lent out or invested – and so they'd be unable to meet a mass request for cash, potentially sparking chaos.

IG Report Eerily Reminiscent of Comey's Exoneration of Hillary; Long List of Violations, Yet None Affected Key Decisions of Case ~ Elizabeth Vaughn (gellerreport.com)
By kdocburgess on June 16, 2018 • ( Leave a comment )
The IG's report, while damning…ended as another "Whitewash" of the material within. Over 500 pages that is riddled with political biases, he somehow concludes that none of it was laced within the decision making of those on the 7th floor of the FBI. How much more do you need Mr. Horowitz?
Here's more from Elizabeth Vaughn and Geller Report…
The long-awaited DOJ Inspector General (IG) report concludes that, although many FBI officials "exhibited inappropriate hostility and political opposition to then-candidate Donald Trump," their biases did not harm the integrity of the investigation.
The report is oddly reminiscent of Comey's Hillary Clinton exoneration statement. It lists numerous violations of standard DOJ/FBI operating practices in their investigation, yet the IG concludes that none of them affected the core judgement of top officials.
The IG excused one wrongful act after another in this stunning report. Allegations were made, and then dismissed, due to the lack of evidence connecting specific allegations to the key decisions of the case.
"Death by a thousand eighths" is a Wall Street expression, which refers to a stock losing 1/8 of a point in value each day over a long period of time. Eventually, an investor has a major loss on their hands. But it happens so slowly, and the loss per day is so small, that the investor remains in the position believing the price will turn around. One day, the investor must face the facts and take the loss.
Similarly, there were so many small, and not so small, pieces of evidence of intentional wrongdoing on the part of DOJ/FBI officials in the handling of this case and together, they add up to an enormous case against them. Yet somehow, the IG looks at each one separately and finds that none of them affected the outcome of the case.
Sean Hannity breaks it all down in his Thursday night opening monologue (please see video below). His key takeaway is that the IG report is a "swamp document. And the swamp always protects the swamp."
He reminds us that "the facts of this case are not in dispute. The evidence is overwhelming and incontrovertible." He outlines the facts below:
1. Hillary violated the espionage act.
2. She mishandled and destroyed classified, top-secret, special access information.
3. She deleted 33,000 subpoenaed emails.
4. She acid-washed her hard drive with Bleach Bit so they couldn't retrieve the subpoenaed emails. She had her aides destroy her mobile devices with hammers.
It sure looks like criminal behavior to me.
Kristian Saucier, who I wrote about here, (recently pardoned by Trump) spent a year in prison for taking several photos of the classified section of the submarine he was working on. He is preparing to sue the DOJ, James Comey, and former President Obama for unequal treatment under the law. He claims, correctly, that a two-tier justice system exists in the U.S. The conclusions of the IG report prove this.
The full IG report can be read here.
The report includes evidence that the DOJ withheld from Congress such as newly revealed text exchanges between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.
Page: "[Trump's] not ever going to become president, right? Right?!"
Strzok: "No. No he won't. We'll stop it."
The following is only a partial list of other noteworthy takeaways from the report:
1. James Comey is attacked for writing a letter to notify Congress that the FBI was reopening the email case against Hillary 11 days before the election.
2. Unsurprisingly, Comey was attacked for issuing his Hillary exoneration statement without speaking to his superior, then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and other acts of insubordination.
3. Comey's July 2016 exoneration statement said it was "possible" that Hillary's emails were hacked by a foreign actor. The IG report said the email accounts of her aides were "definitely" hacked and allowed hostile foreign actors access to her emails.
4. The report states that Comey "used a personal email account to conduct unclassified FBI business" and that he did so in circumstances that were "inconsistent with Department policy." The report also says that Strzok and Page used personal email accounts to conduct FBI business as well.
5. Barack Obama was one of 13 individuals who communicated with Hillary on her private email account.
6. Loretta Lynch was attacked for meeting with Bill Clinton on the tarmac in Phoenix days before Hillary's exoneration. Bill Clinton last night said he was "offended" by this criticism. Bill, please!
7. The report criticizes Loretta Lynch and then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates for being "excessively passive in asserting their own authority. Faced with an FBI director whose modus operandi was to make important decisions on his own authority and dare his superiors to order him to stop, they consistently failed to take that action. If Comey's behavior in July 2016 was insubordination, they tolerated it. And if his October letter was bad judgment, they didn't try to stop him."
I have a question for IG Horowitz: At what point do all of these so called improprieties, errors in judgement, miscommunications and minor violations of standard operating procedure, taken together, amount to a rigged outcome?

I am so excited to be sharing one of my latest beauty obsessions with y'all! The icing on the cake is that it retails for $4.99, you're welcome.
I truly believe that you can have the most amazing mascara formula but if your application technique isn't right, then you can easily end up with clumpy and spidery looking lashes. Technique is what takes this $5 tube of mascara and makes it preform! I'm listing the step-by-step instructions as well as a video of the application process and everything I am using.
Wipe ALLLLLLL excess mascara off of the wand. That means going completely around the entire wand (including the tip) and scraping the excess along the top of the tube.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. The secret in creating full and voluminous lashes is in wiggling the wand at the base of the lash line. This also doubles in creating the illusion of liner. Win, win.
It also helps to "fluff" the individual lashes by tilting the brush at a 90 degree angle and running it through the lashes in an upward motion.
NOTE: if you find that you've created any clumps or lashes that have stuck together, simply clear the wand again without adding any additional product and use it as a spool to brush/comb through the lashes from the base through the tips.
As always, don't forget to subscribe!

Did The Reunification Of Germany Do Damage To East German Clubs?!?!
Germany is known for many things but one of those things is Football. The country of 82 Million people has a strong and unique passion and perspetive on the world's game. Over the last years the Bundesliga (Germany's top flight) has been regarded as one of the world's most popular and prestigious leagues. With German giants and 5 time European champions/title record holders Bayern Munich and former European champions Borussia Dortmund and other household names such as Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Monchengladbach and Schalke. With a nation that has such rich and noteworthy history that almost goes hand and hand with it's Football history.
With The Reunification Of Germany in 1990 meant a whole new era for German football meaning a merge of both leagues from West Germany and East Germany. With both leagues having structural difference and other characteristics that made them differ the merge of leagues only did damage to the glory of East German Clubs. In the 1990-91 Season of the Oberliga (East German League) saw FC Hansa Rostock be awarded champions in its last season in operation. Where has FC Hansa Rostock now? They currently sit in the Germans 3rd division still boasting large crowds but not eyeing at silverware the way they use to. East German giants Dynamo Dresden have been able to keep their names in peoples mouths due to their selling out of their home ground and their boisterous crowd that turn up every game. Where are the record holders now? Currently in the Bundesliga 2 fighting to make it back to the top flight where they haven't been since the late 90s see Dresden another great club continue to struggle. Perhaps the worst of them all, might be FC Magdeburg who were previously European Cup Winners Cup (the tournament being taken and absorbed into UEFA CUP now known as Europa League) being the only East German side with a European Title arguably saw one of the worst falls after being put to the much lower leagues and only reinstating their status as a professional club in 2015 upon their return to the 3rd division of German football known as Liga 3. Why did these clubs and so many others from East German fail? Well unfortunately it was a series of events and decisions that ultimately put these clubs years behind their west German counterparts.
One of the starting reasons of failure was that West German clubs were richer than ones in the east, meaning they went right into buying the best players and coaches from throughout East Germany when the leagues merged. The biggest issue of that isn't just the fact they stripped many clubs of their best talents and assests, it also included the fact that these East German clubs weren't being paid the sufficient value of the talent they were letting go, which in therefore meant being underpaid. That leading into the next point, because East German teams weren't accustomed to the business and investing side of football meant they weren't even aware they were being low balled. These football teams never had to take those things into consideration until the Reunification, since prior to the merge East German sides were paid and taken care by the state. Already behind financially, in infrastructure and in investment there was already setbacks from the get go. Meaning anything that additionally that causes harm to these clubs can be deadtrimental to the club's future successes. More examples of the damage done was with multiple shady investors from West Germany buying clubs and mismanaging them even worst then the original owners and investors. With West German clubs ahead with a basic or intermediate level of understanding in the field of football investment meant East Germany still had more catching up to do.
With the already readjustment to the whole system other small things factors of the decline are that with the merge began more media attention and scrutiny towards players and teams which prior East German clubs were use to just not to that extent. Probably in my opinion which made things clearly difficult for Germany's Eastern based clubs was the way it was merged. East Germany's Oberliga has 14 teams while West Germany's Bundesliga has 18. With the mash up of both leagues you'd think they'd be evenly distributed from both sides but instead all 18 teams from the west stayed and only two from the east were allowed to be added while the rest were placed in the second and even third divisions of German football making it clearly difficult to reach the domestic summit.
With the emergence of Union Berlin returning to the top flight and being able to have a Berlin Derby in the Bundesliga (Which partially inspired this article) showing that maybe there's still hope for these once great clubs. Regardless of the current statuses of these teams there still packing Stadium after stadium. With the Bundesliga 2, Germany's second division being regarded as the best second division in the world with the highest attendances of any second division and even competing against certain major top flight leagues and even beating a few of them in their attendance record. Even look at Dynamo Dresden how they packed Olympiastadion in Berlin which saw 35,000 supporters crowd in for a DFB POKAL Cup draw that there is proof these clubs fell off but haven't died. These are indications that yeah they have taken a drastic declines in terms of success and quality but the one thing that has remained through this all is the passion and depsite whatever happened in the past or will happen in the future, the one thing you can't take from these clubs are the passion, love and community behind them.

Home » Planets
A planet is an astronomical body orbiting a star or stellar remnant that is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity, is not massive enough to cause thermonuclear fusion, and has cleared its neighboring region of planetesimals. The term planet is ancient, with ties to history, astrology, science, mythology, and religion. Several planets in the Solar System can be seen with the naked eye. These were regarded by many early cultures as divine, or as emissaries of deities. As scientific knowledge advanced, human perception of the planets changed, incorporating a number of disparate objects.
Planets are generally divided into two main types: large low-density giant planets, and smaller rocky terrestrials. Under IAU definitions, there are eight planets in the Solar System. In order of increasing distance from the Sun, they are the four terrestrials, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, then the four giant planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Six of the planets are orbited by one or more natural satellites.
It is not known with certainty how planets are formed. The prevailing theory is that they are formed during the collapse of a nebula into a thin disk of gas and dust. A protostar forms at the core, surrounded by a rotating protoplanetary disk. Although each planet has unique physical characteristics, a number of broad commonalities do exist among them. Some of these characteristics, such as rings or natural satellites, have only as yet been observed in planets in the Solar System, whereas others are also commonly observed in extrasolar planets.

Dagmar Schultz (born 1941 in Berlin) is a German sociologist, filmmaker, publisher and professor.

Biography
Schultz grew up in a female household; her father committed suicide in World War II. After a few semesters studying journalism, North American studies and Romance studies at the Free University of Berlin. In 1965, she graduated from the University of Michigan inbroadcasting, television and film, with a master's thesis on "The Role of Broadcasting in Africa with Special Emphasis on West Africa". However, her dream of working as a documentary filmmaker on television proved to be unrealizable: "My job interview at CBS or NBC was such that the gentlemen asked me, 'What do you mean, why we hire women here?' That was a rhetorical question - and the answer: 'Yes, as a cleaning woman and as secretaries.' " In 1965 Schultz taught at Rust College in Holly Springs, Mississippi.

In 1966/67 she went to Puerto Rico, where she worked in the Anti-Poverty Programs of the Office of Economic Opportunity. From 1969 to 1970, she taught seminars on women's studies and on race and class at Columbia College Chicago and was active in the women's movement. In 1972, Schultz was awarded a Ph.D. at University of Wisconsin–Madison, with a dissertation on workers' education and her Habilitation from the Free University of Berlin with a study on the life and work of female and male professors. In 1973, she returned to Germany and taught women's studies and cultural and immigration issues at the John F. Kennedy Institute for North American Studies at the Free University of Berlin. She established, with a few fellow campaigners, a book publishing house specialized on feminist literature and the Feminist Women's Health Center in Berlin in 1974, the first of its kind in Germany. She worked with the center until 1981. She also co-founded Orlanda Women's Press (Orlanda Frauenverlag) in 1974, and was (co-)editor until 2001. As a visiting professor, she taught sociology of education at State University of New York in 1981. In 1984, she helped civil rights activist and poet Audre Lorde, whom she got to know at the 1980 UN World Conference on Women in Copenhagen, to become a visiting professor at FU Berlin.

In 1989, she habilitated at the Institute of Sociology of the Free University of Berlin. In 1991, Schultz followed the call for a professorship for "Social and Educational Work with Women" at the Department of Social Work and Social Education of Alice Salomon University of Applied Sciences Berlin, where she remained until her retirement in 2004. Her work focused on women in social work, intercultural social work, medical sociology and social education, socialization and cultural competence in psychosocial care.

Since 2004, Dagmar Schultz has been involved in writing and organising reading tours in the United States for her partner Ika Hügel-Marshall (author of Invisible Woman. Growing up Black in Germany) and other events. In 2007 she was co-producer of the film "Hope in My Heart - The May Ayim Story".

In 2011 Schultz was honored by Peter-André Alt with the "Margherita von Brentano Award", the highest endowed award for gender studies and women's projects in Germany. In 2012, Schultz invested her prize money on the one hand in the structure of an Audre Lorde archive at the FU Berlin, on the other she produced and directed a documentary about the time in Germany by the author Audre Lorde ("Audre Lorde - The Berlin years from 1984 to 1992"). She wrote the screenplay together with her partner Ika Hügel-Marshall. The film had its premiere at the 2012 Berlin International Film Festival and was shown at numerous other international festivals. The same year, Schultz became dignified the "Magnus-Hirschfeld-Award" for her life's work as one of the first activists of the lesbian and women's movement since the 1970s, an award donated by the gay section of SPD to honor outstanding achievements for the emancipation of lesbians, gays and transgender people.

Dagmar Schultz is passionate about photography, and among others her photos of plants and flowers have appeared on book covers at Orlanda Verlag and Fischer Verlag.

Tunisian club to petition CAF on Rangers keeper
Tunisian club giant, CS Sfaxien, have concluded arrangement to file a petition against Enugu Rangers for allegedly fielding an ineligible player against them.
Rangers sent the newly crowned Tunisian champions packing from the CAF Confederation Cup with a 1-0 aggregate score at the weekend, after beating them by a lone goal in Enugu and holding them to a goalless draw in the second leg at the weekend.
A popular Tunisian radio station Mosaique FM, disclosed that Sfaxien are going to file a petition against Rangers challenging the eligibility of goalkeeper Emmanuel Daniel who featured on both legs of the third round tie against the Ruud Krol-coached side.
The Tunisians are hinging their protest on the issue raised by a Nigerian premier league club Shooting Stars Club of Ibadan who raised some dusts after the first-leg, claiming Daniel was still their player and was yet to be properly cleared by Rangers.
The Flying Antelopes have little to worry about as they already have an official letter from the Nigeria Football Federation affirming that Daniel became a free agent at the end of last season, having run out of contract with the Oluyole Warriors.
Daniel was the star of Rangers' qualification at the weekend as his heroics between the sticks helped them hold their hosts to a stalemate.
Rangers have paired in Group A alongside Etoile du Sahel (Tunisia), St George (Ethiopia) and Stade Malien (Mali). Group B has the likes of TP Mazembe (DR Congo), FUS Rabat (Morocco), Entente Setif (Algeria) and CA Bizerte (Tunisia).

Japan Deepening Ties with Leading Oil Producer Saudi Arabia
"Saudi Arabia supplied Japan with 34.28 million barrels, or 27.5 percent of Japan's total imports 2011."
Becket Adams
Since Japan and Saudi Arabia established diplomatic relations in 1955, Japan has become one of the biggest importers of Saudi oil, with trade in 2010 exceeding $43 billion.
According to a recent 24/7 Wall St. report, Japanese direct investment in Saudi Arabia is now the third largest among nations' foreign direct investment, a relationship that Japan's ambassador to Saudi Arabia Shigeru Endo has characterized as "complimentary."
Japan, with few domestic energy resources, is only 16 percent energy self-sufficient and is now the world's third largest oil consumer in the world behind the United States and China and the globe's third largest net importer of crude oil, according to the U.S. government Energy Information Administration.
"While the complementary relationship will remain unchanged into the future, room for expansion and diversification of the bilateral relations is now emerging. What we have to do is to find good seeds and plant them leaving the future generations to reap the harvest… Such relationship naturally goes beyond simple trade of energy and manufactured goods," Endo said.
Saudi Arabia remains Japan's biggest oil supplier. According to Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, in January Saudi Arabia supplied Japan with 34.28 million barrels, or 27.5 percent of Japan's total imports 2011, with the United Arab Emirates providing 28.62 million barrels, or 23 percent of Japan's crude imports, which means that more than half of Japan's needs for crude oil came from Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.

OpenPathology: Issues with reference ranges - Part 3
Seb Bacon
This is the third instalment in our series of commentaries on using reference ranges to interpret pathology test results.
Reference ranges vary between labs
Classically, the reference range is defined statistically: it is the interval within which 95% of the values of a healthy reference population fall into. Therefore 2.5% of the time, healthy people will have (for example) haemoglobin concentrations less than the lower limit, and 2.5% of the time it will be over the upper limit. (Read more in our previous blog).
Sometimes intervals are by consensus (or "decision limit") instead — for example, the upper limit of normal for Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), a test used to identify cases of possible prostate cancer, is defined in the guidelines as 4 ng/mL (but action should be taken >3ng/mL for men 50-69), and this is reflected in reference ranges. In other words, a consensus reference range is supposed to be indicative of some kind of pathology (at a certain level of confidence).
Which is the correct reference range?
There is often considerable debate about the correct levels. The WHO definition of anaemia uses haemoglobin reference ranges defined in 1968, and these have continued to be debated on the basis of real-world outcomes (such as all-cause mortality) ever since.
In an ideal world, most reference ranges would be created through a process of scientific consensus based on clinical indications, but pragmatically, the majority are statistical. This creates an interesting disjoint with guidelines which refer to absolute numbers. For example, the definition of abnormally high Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is defined by the outliers in a normal population as somewhere between 4 to 5 mU/L, and this is usually the figure given in reference ranges; whereas guidelines suggest thyroxine treatment should be initiated above the precise figure of 10 mU/L.
How do labs come up with different reference ranges?
Traditionally, it has been recommended that each lab produce its own reference ranges based on testing local normal populations, using their own analysers. In practice, this rarely happens. One survey of labs in Birmingham showed 35% used ranges provided by the manufacturer; 14% used literature ranges; 18% used in-house ranges; and 34% didn't know the source of their ranges.
Manufacturer ranges themselves may have been determined directly on selected populations, or may themselves be derived from literature. And it's not clear how you would judge the relative merits of two reference ranges, both derived from population studies: one study that generated its own reference ranges found 25% of its chemistry tests disagreed with Abbot's own reference ranges by more than a fifth.
The result: different labs may use very different reference ranges for no good reason; or there may be a good reason, but the users of the service may not know.
Does this matter?
We see a lot of different reference ranges in OpenPathology data. For example, a 40 year old woman with 119 g/dL haemoglobin would be flagged as abnormal in Cornwall, but normal across the border in North Devon.
This is reflected in outcomes. We see that Cornwall, with its narrower reference range, does define more results as abnormal:
When a lab changes equipment, it will usually switch to using the reference ranges recommended by the manufacturer. The following chart shows the effect that a new analyser can have on results. In 2018 you can see the proportion of TSH tests above range started going down, in Cornwall only. This lab changed their analyser in September, but we're currently applying today's reference values to all of the data:
In an ideal world, all analysers would be calibrated to a single reference standard, and this would make the use of fixed national reference ranges completely defensible. Indeed, the Pathology Harmony Group pioneered a process for setting a number of reference ranges in the UK, which are now used by the majority of labs; but these only cover a few analytes. In reality, reference ranges come from a hodge-podge of different sources, making it hard to compare outcomes between regions.

Getting physical: Wolf Pack outlasts Fresno State to keep Mountain West lead
Duke Ritenhouse
Once again, Nevada responded from a disappointing loss with an impressive win.
The Wolf Pack fought off a determined Fresno State team Saturday at Lawlor Events Center, holding off the Bulldogs, 74-68, in a physical game to remain at the top of the Mountain West standings.
Nevada moved to 25-2 on the season and 12-2 in Mountain West games; the Pack leads the Mountain West by a half-game over Utah State. The win also helped to ease some of the sting from Nevada's 65-57 loss at San Diego State on Wednesday.
The game was close throughout, with neither team leading by more than six points. There were 13 ties and 14 lead changes
But Nevada found one last gear to break away in the final minutes. Following the final tie, at 62-all with 4:26 left, the Wolf Pack never again trailed and pushed its lead to as many as six points with 2:23 left. A huge Tre'Shawn Thurman dunk with 44 seconds left served as the dagger, giving Nevada a 70-65 edge.
Caleb Martin (24) and Jordan Caroline (17) combined to score 41 of the Pack's 74 points. Thurman, coming off the bench, added 14, along with a team-high 10 rebounds for his second double-double of the season.
"We've lost two games now this year, and both (times) I've pulled Thurman out of the starting lineup, and he's responded," Nevada head coach Eric Musselman said. "I did not walk into the building thinking I was going to play Tre' 34 minutes tonight and that he was going to get a double-double … I thought he was phenomenal."
Fresno State's Deshon Taylor scored a game-high 30 points to finish with almost half of the Bulldogs' total. Nate Grimes added 16 points and 11 rebounds.
Here's some of the talking points from Saturday's win:
Thurman makes the most of it …
Just as he did following Nevada's loss at New Mexico in January, Musselman shifted the line-up after the San Diego State loss.
Jazz Johnson was the biggest beneficiary, getting his first start of the season, with Thurman beginning the game on the bench. Thurman, though, responded in a big way, playing 34 minutes and finishing with team-highs in rebounds (10) and assists (four, tied), and scoring all 14 of the Pack's bench points.
Thurman had started 22 of Nevada's 26 games. He entered Saturday's game averaging 7.0 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.
"I'm just trying to help this team; if I play five minutes, I'm going to try to go out there and play five minutes as hard as I can," Thurman said. "Get a turnover, get a steal, get a rebound or a block or something.
"And we have a lot of good guys on this team, so it doesn't matter if (Musselman) brings you off the bench or not. I think he had like 15 different starting lineups last year. We have a lot of good guys, so it doesn't matter who starts. That is, if you bring it in the game."
… and so does Jazz
Johnson's night began with a thunderous ovation from the Lawlor Events Center crowd of 11,019 when he was announced as a starter. It ended with a full 40-minute performance against the Bulldogs.
In between, he took full advantage of his increased floor time, hitting three of his five 3-point attempts and finishing with 10 points. Martin and Caroline also hit three 3-pointers for Nevada, which finished 10-for-24 overall.
Along with Martin, Johnson was the only Wolf Pack player to play all 40 minutes. Caroline played 38 and Cody Martin finished at 37.
"I've come off the bench (all season), and I've kind of played starter minutes, so it wasn't really different," Johnson said. "(Musselman) wanted to make a change and I happened to be the guy that he made the change for.
"I have to play the same way, keep my mind the same way, stay even-keeled and play my game."
Things get physical
There were 42 fouls called and a combined 41 free throws attempted Saturday, but that only tells part of the story. With the officiating crew seemingly content to let play continue on more than a few instances of contact, and with two teams desperate to avoid a two-game losing streak, the game was physical and scrappy from opening tip to final buzzer.
"It was rough; it was a typical basketball game when you're coming down the stretch (of the season)," Johnson said. "Everybody's playing hard. They (Fresno State) were fighting just as hard as we were to keep our standing, and they were trying to move up in the standings."
Fresno State was whistled for 26 fouls, leading to 31 free-throw attempts for the Pack, including 14 for Caleb Martin (who made 11 of them). The Bulldogs hit just five of their 10 foul shots.
Wolf Pack notebook
* Saturday's crowd of 11,019 was the seventh time this season that Lawlor Events Center hosted 11,000 or more fans. The Wolf Pack responded with its 16th straight win at home, the ninth-longest active streak in the nation.
* Nevada improved to 27-3 following a loss under Musselman.
* Martin (24 points) led the Pack in scoring for the 12th time this season and broke the 20-point barrier for the 15th time.

They ken noo about the Braes of Doune
www.theherald.co.uk
Your letters August 31 2006
Not for the first time in recent days a correspondent writing to the Scottish press (in the case of The Herald Doug Maughan on August 29) condemns the visual intrusion of the Braes of Doune wind farm. When this wind farm was first mooted there were only four objections and Stirling Council supported the plan when it went before the Scottish Executive for approval.
Scottish Natural Heritage, after minor adjustments to the original plan, "accepts that the wind farm will inevitably be prominent, particularly from north-east viewpoints, but, overall, a wind farm of this scale at this location presents a simple, sculptural landmark image".
In referring to views from the west, the executive found that "Ministers are of a view that the wind farm is only a minor element in this landscape setting".
In other parts of Scotland plans for such wind farms have been met with a deluge of objections and it can only be assumed that those who live in the Stirling area had no idea previously just what visual obscenities wind farms are. Well, they ken noo.
David Govan, 5 Pobs Drive, Corpach, Fort William.
THREE cheers for Doug Maughan! His backyard is not my backyard. Even so, his arguments about wind turbines blighting his historic locality, one of great scenic beauty, deserve widespread support and have validity from the Northern Isles to Galloway.
Although Mr Maughan's point about location is well taken, it does not go far enough. The central principle of renewable energy generation has been lost: produce as close as possible to the locality of consumption. Wind farms and large wind-turbine generation plant producing for export are a wasteful nonsense. What can be more stupid than generating energy in Lewis for Lewes 800 miles away in Sussex?
In the 1930s a group of Cambridge communists, many upper middle-class scions of the British establishment, infiltrated the security and intelligence services. Burgess, Maclean, Philby and Blunt operated in the Soviet interest against which they were supposedly defending the country. Something similar has happened to what used to be known as the environmental movement. People who began, and still pose, as champions of the environment against big business now despoil the Scottish countryside largely in its interests.
There is, however, a difference: the activities of the Cambridge spy ring were never subsidised by government or parliament. The Scottish Executive and the Scottish Parliament are doing just that in a shameful bid to buy off a "green lobby" whose leaders have totally lost the plot. They have been captured by the enemy as surely as were Burgess et al in the 1930s.

Large parts of the fire-razed Kandawgyi Palace Hotel, one of Yangon's most iconic buildings, have been classified as being 100% burnt down and insurance claims were set to be paid last month.
The hotel, owned by U Tayza's Htoo Group, was destroyed by a fire in the early hours of 19 October.
The Htoo Group bought insurance worth almost MMK1.5 billion (US$1.1 million) for the hotel. Two policies worth MMK855 million and MMK75 million were from state-controlled Myanma Insurance while a third policy, worth MMK523 million, was from private insurer Aung Thitsar Oo Co.
After inspection, it was found that the buildings for which insurance was bought from Myanma Insurance had been completely burnt down while those covered by Aung Thitsar Oo Co had been partially affected from the fire, U Lwin Oo, Deputy General Manager from Myanma Insurance, told The Myanmar Times.
Htoo Group was therefore entitled to indemnities from Myanma Insurance while it would not claim compensation from Aung Thitsar Oo Co.
Burnt-down big teak pillars are useless but remnants like nails, nuts, bolts and broken bricks can be sold and value has to be calculated and deducted from the claims, one official from Myanma Insurance's fire and engineering insurance section said.
Built in the early 1990s, the high-end hotel was constructed mostly with teak wood and decorated with traditional handicraft. Police said that the fire was caused by faulty electrical wiring. Of the hotel's 185 rooms, 140 were destroyed. Two foreign tourists died in the fire and two others were seriously injured.
