Logo is the first thing that instills on the mind of people. Therefore, one has to be very thoughtful and careful while selecting it, as it represents your business, its values and ethics. It is a powerful marketing tool, which when designed appropriately establishes your brand and brings success to your business.
A business without a symbol is very tough to identify it distinctly. The immense power of this symbol lies in its visual nature that speaks about the products and services rendered by your business. This is a remarkable way that helps people relate and communicate with the business.
A business symbol may comprise of a text or image or a combination of both. It is a significant way to establish the identity of the business. Let us see more about the importance of business symbol in detail.
Everything is just the play of image in business. A perfectly designed business symbol reflects the image you would want to express. Whether you want to project your business as aggressive or dependable, you can get umpteen numbers of designs to create it meaningfully. One can find business symbol everywhere whether it is a newspaper or social media. To help your business stand out from your competitors and recognized differently, you need to come up with a unique and specific design.
A business symbol helps to establish the identity and loyalty of your business. These two terms are very crucial in making a place in the huge corporate world. The more familiar your logo will become, the more will be the growth and success of your business.
Once your business establishes its credibility, you need to repeat it everywhere the name of your business is mentioned. When people see the glimpse of the same symbol again and again, they will feel some subconscious connection to it. This will drive them more towards knowing about the business and its services.
The purpose of a business symbol is not just to represent a brand personality and bring more sales, but also to establish legal ownership. Cases of duplicate products sold under the name of reputed companies are very common nowadays. This symbol acts as a signature that offers legal safety against frauds and forgeries.
Under the copyright act, other person cannot copy your logo and use it to promote their service. Thus, a registered business symbol protects the interests of your business and public and prevents the image from getting spoiled.
With careful marketing, your business symbol can become the fundamental reason for the sale of your business product. It is a mental shortcut to a business and has the potential to make a long-lasting impression in the hearts of people. The benefits of the logo to a business are countless. So, those who still have not registered any symbol to their business should get one today.


Donaldson, Robin, "Survey of College Entrance Exam Preparation Methods" (2013). Doctoral Dissertations and Projects. 701.
This study surveyed college freshman to determine which types of preparation if any they had before taking either the SAT and/or ACT to decide if a certain type of preparation increased their scores. Students indicated whether they used online resources, self-help resources, school workshops and/or private tutoring before taking either test. The ACT scores were converted to SAT scores so that the data would be uniform. The mean SAT score was computed for those who used preparation and those who did not and comparisons were made. Each individual type of preparation was compared to no preparation. Finally, a correlation was computed between SAT scores and high school grade point averages. The research did not show that students who used preparation performed better than those who did not.


Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain. It seldom occurs as an isolated condition but is usually related to some other disease.
A common form of encephalitis is caused by canine distemper virus and occurs a few weeks after this disease. Other viruses, bacteria, brain tumors, head injuries and chemical poisonings are also possible causes of encephalitis.
Signs of encephalitis may include mental dullness, walking in circles, lack of coordination, blindness and convulsions. Dogs with canine distemper encephalitis often have "chewing gum" (champing) seizures of the jaws.
The prognosis (outlook) for encephalitic patients is usually poor. After making a diagnosis and establishing the cause, your veterinarian may suggest starting treatment and evaluating the response.
____Exercise your pet on a leash ______ minutes ______ times daily.
____Avoid excitement and stressful situations.
____Confine your pet closely in safe quarters to prevent injury if seizures occur.
* Your pet has a seizure lasting more than a few minutes.
* Your pet becomes unconscious.
* Your pet cannot rise or walk properly.
* Your pet seems depressed.


Macclesfield Town Under 18's retained their perfect start to the season at Barnton this afternoon - but it wasn't without a real battle against their tenacious hosts.
Jim Hall's side went a goal down after just five minutes, yet this catalysed the side into action, as they looked to restore parity in the quickest time possible.
This duly came just three minutes later, when Max Phillips found Sam Jordan on the edge of the area and he unleashed an unstoppable volley past the home 'keeper.
The home side rallied and regained the lead just sixty seconds later, yet Jordan was to equalise once more in the 23rd minute - finishing a flowing Silkmen move.
Shortly after the re-start, some great work by Joe Cobey saw him put Shaun Holden in on goal and his confident finish gave Jim Hall's side the lead for the first time in the game.
The home side were then reduced to ten men for two yellow cards, as Macc looked to make their numerical advantage tell.
Akim Samms was then unlucky to see his acrobatic overhead kick ruled out for offside, before Dan Dolling gave Macc an unassailable lead by firing home number four.

The Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived (FEAD) supports EU countries' actions to provide material assistance to the most deprived. It is administered by the European Commission, DG Employment, Social Affairs & Inclusion.
Objective: The Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived (FEAD) supports EU countries' actions to provide material assistance to the most deprived. This includes food, clothing and other essential items for personal use, e.g. shoes, soap and shampoo. Material assistance needs to go hand in hand with social inclusion measures, such as guidance and support to help people out of poverty.
Activities: FEAD support will help people take their first steps out of poverty and social exclusion. The FEAD will help the most deprived people by addressing their most basic needs, which is a precondition for them to be able to get a job or follow a training course such as those supported by the ESF.
In real terms, over €3.8 billion are earmarked for the FEAD for the 2014-2020 period. In addition, EU countries are to contribute at least 15% in national co-financing to their national programme. The Fund shall be used by Member States to provide support in the forms of grants, procurement or a combination thereof.


You can't use Excel very long without being exposed to dialog boxes. Excel, like most Windows programs, uses dialog boxes to obtain information, clarify commands, and display messages. If you develop VBA macros, you can create your own dialog boxes that work very much like those that are built into Excel. These dialog boxes are known as UserForms.
Some macros that you create behave exactly the same every time that you execute them. For example, you may develop a macro that enters a list of your sales regions into a worksheet range. This macro always produces the same result and requires no additional user input. You may develop other macros, however, that perform differently under different circumstances or that offer options for the user. In such cases, the macro may benefit from a custom dialog box.
The following is an example of a simple macro that makes each cell in the selected range uppercase (but it skips cells that have a formula). The procedure uses VBA's built-in StrConv function.

More than 145,000 customers are without power across Victoria as the state swelters through extreme heat, putting strain on the electricity system.
The Australian Energy Market Operator confirmed on Friday it had asked electricity distributors to "load shed" through the afternoon.
By mid-afternoon the blackouts by distributors totalled almost 150,000.
"It's all because, you know, we're balancing the weather, additional heat is stressing the generators," AEMO chief executive Audrey Zibelman said.
"We have one generator who has had some problems and they have been really struggling to stay on, but they're having to reduce to protect the machinery.
"Other generators are also struggling, simply because of the heat. So, it's all that in combination is what we're confronted with this afternoon."
Three generators, two at Yallourn and one at Loy Yang, had already failed in the lead up to the extreme heat, but a second unit at Loy Yang is expected to fail on Friday, Ms Zibelman said.
Power is being imported from South Australia to help Victoria cope.
Earlier on Friday, Victorian Energy Minister Lily D'Ambrosio had been assured by AEMO that there was enough power as temperatures reached beyond 40C across the state.
Friday's critical demand period will last until 5pm, before a cool change and the Alcoa aluminium smelter - the state's largest energy user - will go offline until the change sweeps the state.
About 10 other companies are also going offline to help the network.
Overnight minimum temperatures of 29.3C at Rutherglen was the northeastern town's hottest night ever since records began 100 years ago, Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Michael Efron said.
Suburban Essendon also recorded its warmest night in 17 years, at 30C.
Melbourne CBD reached 42.3C at 2pm, but had rapidly dropped to 30.8C by 2.09pm.
Trains and trams were being speed limited across the city to allow for potential track warping in extreme heat.
A cool change is expected to have moved through the metropolitan area by about about 3pm, moving to the outer suburbs by 4pm, bringing a temperature drop of about 20 degrees within an hour.

"This is part of the only video interview that is in the public domain. The producers of ABC and Geraldo Rivera's canceled TV program, Now It Can Be Told also have taped interviews of Gunther, but they have never released them.
Admiral Gunther K. Russbacher was a 30 plus year veteran of the CIA and the Office of Naval Intelligence. He was also the co-founder of the print edition of Rumor Mill News.
Captain Russbacher has been called the "Company Banker". Because of this, he had to be knowledgeable about the banking system in the United States. Once he began studying the Federal Reserve, its origins and its global aspirations, he began to understand how three hundred families control the world.

What are Actus Reus and Mens Rea?

by Charles Montaldo
Charles Montaldo is a writer and former licensed private detective who worked with law enforcement and insurance firms investigating crime and fraud.
In the United States, there are specific elements of a crime that the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt in order to obtain a conviction. The three specific elements (with exception) that define a crime which the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt in order to obtain a conviction: (1) that a crime has actually occurred (actus reus), (2) that the accused intended the crime to happen (mens rea) and (3) and concurrence of the two meaning there is a timely relationship between the first two factors.
Example of the Three Elements in Context
Jeff is upset with his ex-girlfriend, Mary, for ending their relationship. He goes to look for her and spots her having dinner with another man named Bill. He decides to get even with Mary by setting her apartment on fire. Jeff goes to Mary's apartment and lets himself in, using a key that Mary has asked for him to give back on several occasions. He then places several newspapers on the kitchen floor and sets them on fire. Just as he is leaving, Mary and Bill enter the apartment. Jeff runs off and Mary and Bill are able to quickly put out the fire. The fire did not cause any real damage, however Jeff is arrested and charged with attempted arson. The prosecution must prove that a crime occurred, that Jeff intended for the crime to occur, and concurrence for attempted arson.
Understanding Actus Reus
Criminal act, or actus reus, is generally defined as a criminal act that was the result of voluntary bodily movement. A criminal act can also occur when a defendant fails to act (also known as omission). A criminal act must occur because people cannot be legally punished because of their thoughts or intentions. Also, referencing the Eighth Amendment Ban on Cruel and Unusual Punishment, crimes cannot be defined by status.
Examples of involuntary acts, as described by the Model Penal Code, include:
A reflex or convulsion;
A bodily movement during unconsciousness or sleep;
Conduct during hypnosis or resulting from hypnotic suggestion;
A bodily movement that otherwise is not a product of the effort or determination of the actor, either conscious or habitual.
Example of an Involuntary Act
Jules Lowe of Manchester, England, was arrested and charged with the murder of his 83-year-old father Edward Lowe was brutally beaten and found dead in his driveway. During the trial, Lowe admitted to killing his father, but because he suffered from sleepwalking (also known as automatism), he did not remember committing the act.
Lowe, who shared a house with his father, had a history of sleepwalking, had never been known to show any violence towards his father and had an excellent relationship with his father.
Defense lawyers also had Lowe tested by sleep experts who provided testimony at his trial that, based on the tests, Lowe suffered from sleepwalking. The defense concluded that the murder of his father was a result of insane automatism, and that he could no be held legally responsible for the murder. The jury agreed and Lowe was sent to a psychiatric hospital where he was treated for 10 months and then released.
Example of a Voluntary Act Resulting in a Non-Voluntary Act
Melinda decided to celebrate after receiving a promotion at work. She went to her friend's house where she spent several hours drinking wine and smoking synthetic marijuana. When it is time to go home, Melinda, despite protests from friends, decided she was okay to drive herself home. During the drive home she passed out at the wheel. While passed out, her car collided with an oncoming car, resulting in the death of the driver.
Melinda voluntarily drank, smoked the synthetic marijuana, and then decided to drive her car. The collision that resulted in the death of the other driver occurred when Melinda was passed out, but she was passed out due to decisions she voluntarily made before passing out and would therefore be found culpable for the death of the person driving the car she collided with while passed out.
Omission is another form of actus reus and is the act of failing to take action that would have prevented injury to another person. Criminal negligence is also a form of actus reus.
An omission could be failing to warn others that they could be in danger because of something that you did, failure to a person left in your care, or not failure to complete your work properly which resulted in an accident.

Studies convincingly prove that the sensitivity of a physical examination of the mammary glands in combination with mammography appears to be improved compared with the use of mammography alone, since a physical examination of the mammary glands can reveal tumors missed during mammography.
The incidence of breast cancer (BC) varies in different studies from 3.4 (in Edinburgh) to 45% in the Health Insurance Plan study. After evaluating all the data, the authors concluded that the sensitivity of a physical study is about 54%, and the specificity – 94%.
To maximize the effectiveness of physical examination of the mammary glands, several factors should be taken into account. It is shown that the duration of physical research is directly related to sensitivity. It is believed that, in general, a 6-minute (3 min per mammary gland) study gives the best results.
Obviously, the experience of the doctor and the method of the research itself are also important. One of the factors is considered to be the patient's age, since in older women, the mammary glands contain more adipose tissue, which facilitates the identification of formations. The size and structure of the mammary glands also affects the detectability of tumors. The authors, who conducted the research, believe that the best method is MammoCare. The peculiarity of this method is the use of the pads of the index, middle and ring fingers for making small circular movements.
This palpation is carried out in straight lines ("lawnmower method"), going from the clavicle to the line of the bra. The authors believe that a well-conducted physical examination of the mammary glands can reveal at least 50% of asymptomatic tumors and lead to a decrease in mortality in patients undergoing screening.

Here I am in my new residence and I can barely believe that the day has come. I had thought so much about what it was going to be like only to find out it's nothing how I thought it would be. It's much better. I feel calm now, at ease, knowing that this big move has finally happend and I can now start my journey towards my future.
Isn't it exciting to know you have achieved something that you only dreamed of. To know that I am okay to be on my own is really a great feeling. I can't say that having diabetes has changed much about the whole sitation. Since being here, my diabetes has not changed anything as far as how I go about living. I still was able to check my sugars while moving in without even worrying about anything.
I had barely any stress today so my sugars stayed within target.I am so excited that I can finally experiance college with diabetes. Of course there are going to be days where I have no idea what to do but I know that with all the obstacles that have come up I am able to handle them. This is the start to something completely brand new. Not only am I learning each and everyday how to handle my diabetes at school I could possibly be helping thousands of other first year students living with diabetes all around the world.


Mary Leigh works directly with AvePoint's research & development team in the design and implementation of new SharePoint infrastructure management products and solutions. She has been actively engaged in the SharePoint space for several years, working with many Fortune 500 companies and government organizations to develop successful SharePoint management and protection strategies. Born and raised in Oxford, Mississippi, Mary Leigh received her engineering degree from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, in New York City.
When deploying SharePoint as a business-critical collaboration platform and digital-asset repository, ensuring data access, availability, and protection, is absolutely critical. Though SharePoint and SQL Server offer some scalability and data protection natively, these may prove inadequate for most competitive organizations.
In this session, we will discuss the key components of any successful SharePoint global deployment. This will include architecture configurations for efficient data access across geographies and networks, considerations for high availability of data and SharePoint sites, and robust design including backup & recovery planning. After analyzing SharePoint's native capabilities, we will identify best practices, available free tools, and other best-of-breed solutions for ensuring a fully distributed and protected SharePoint platform.
Finally, we will discuss SharePoint archiving, and review how intelligent archiving procedures, when coupled with successful replication and data protection plans, can improve platform performance and reliability, and lower storage and management costs.

Q: Decimal datatype in access with OdbcDriver I am creating a table in access database using OdbcConnection class as I am using DSN but I was unable to create table. An error is generated "Syntax error in field initilizer." I am using c# 3.5.
Query which I had written for creating table is
create table [tblEmployee]
(
     [ID] long not null ,
     [EmployeeSalary] decimal null
)

I think problem is with decimal datatype in Odbc driver but when I am using OleDbConnection then no problem arises.

A: You need to enable the new datatypes by setting the appropriate connection string attribute ExtendedAnsiSQL.

N.M. O'Boyle, J. Boström, R.A. Sayle, A. Gill. Using Matched Molecular Series as a Predictive Tool To Optimize Biological Activity J. Med. Chem. 2014, In press.
Here's a deliberately basic example from the paper. Imagine that you have synthesised and tested three alkane R groups for some scaffold and found that the pIC50s are in the following order (bigger is better): propyl > ethyl > methyl. What should you make next? Kind of obvious, you might say: a longer alkane. Using ChEMBL data and the Matsy algorithm described in the paper, we find that the most likely R group to increase activity is n-hexyl, which increased activity in this situation 75% of 53 times.
But about what ethyl > propyl > methyl? Now there is no correlation with molecular weight. Perhaps ethyl is just the right size, while methyl is too small but propyl is too big. In any case, the question remains: what should you try next? According to Matsy, tert-butyl is most likely to increase activity, based on 39% of 23 times.
To a large extent the algorithm is just doing what a medicinal chemist would; except that where a medicinal chemist would draw on previous experience or intuition, Matsy works out the answer from a database of previous work. To make up your mind about a particular prediction, you can always look at where the data came from and decide if it's applicable in your case.
* The paper will be made freely available soon. Until then, we are allowed to give 50 copies away so if you don't have access to the journal, email noel@nextmovesoftware.com if you want one.

Before that, Spain was almost completely isolated from the outside world for 36 years, which means, among other things, that the Spain has never had a sexual revolution as in the United States. . So with that in mind, I could definitively say that belly dancing has been a very popular liberation dance for many women here. To add to this, Spain celebrates 40 years of democracy, which in more than 36 years of being a dictatorship, means the social structure of Spain and those who are considered as "Born with an immerity privilege" are still largely based on proximity.
The ultra-conservative Salafist allies of Morsi have sought to separate the beaches, to ban bikinis and to abolish ballet.

RENSSELAER — Repeated complaints of foul, rotten-egg odors coming from a major construction and demolition debris landfill in Rensselaer prompted a visit Monday from a state environmental inspector.
The cause of the smells was not identified by the Department of Environmental Conservation, which said it dispatched an inspector "to follow up on recent odor complaints" from residents around the S.A. Dunn & Co. LLC landfill off Partition Street.
"Based on today's inspection, DEC will determine next steps to identify the source of the odors, including additional monitors at the site, and take any necessary action to address these odors, including and possible enforcement action," the agency said.
The dump accepts construction and demolition debris, which likely includes gypsum wallboard, also called Sheetrock or drywall, which contains sulfur compounds. Those compounds can be released into the air as hydrogen sulfide gas in the Sheetrock decomposes.
Ninth Street resident John Lyden was among several city residents who told the Times Union that the foul odors have intensified since the fall. "It is nauseating. It is irritating my eyes. I had to close the windows to my house," he said. "Something has to be done about this. It cannot go on."
Officials at the landfill, a sand and gravel mine that is accepting dozens of truckloads of construction debris daily for disposal, declined to comment on the complaints.
According to the Dunn website, the company hires a consultant to test the air around the landfill every three months, and "None of this monitoring has identified detectable levels of hydrogen sulfide gas in the air."
It could not be immediately determined whether Dunn provides those air reports to DEC, or whether DEC has conducted independent testing of the air around the landfill.
Chris Kielb, with the grassroots anti-landfill group Stop Trucks from Assaulting Rensselaer, said she has documented dozens of resident complaints about foul odors since September.
That was echoed by another landfill opponent, David Ellis, who said smells have gotten worse since the fall. "I was driving down near the city library this morning, and I could even smell it in my car with the windows rolled up," he said.
Hydrogen sulfide gas can cause irritation to eyes, nose and throat, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. It can also cause breathing difficulties in people with asthma. Long-term health effects of exposure depend on how much gas a person is exposed to and how long the exposure lasts.
Since the dump opened in 2015, more than 50,000 trucks from several states have used the facility to dump hundreds of thousands of tons of debris.
The dump can legally accept concrete,drywall, asphalt, masonry, roofing materials, plumbing fixtures, insulation (but not asbestos), empty buckets, wood, plastics and "pulverized waste." It cannot take regular household garbage or hazardous waste.
The dump is located at the border of the Rensselaer Junior Senior High School and the sports fields used by students. A call to school officials seeking comment about the potential odors from the nearby dump was not returned.
New athletic fields being built next to the high school are being done by Wilton-based Kubricky Construction where former Dunn mine owner Michael Dunn is now president. According to a February 2018 DEC notice, Kubricky is subcontracted to operate the Dunn facility.

2019 preseason: what do the numbers tell us?
Take a look at four pieces of data extracted from winter testing ahead of the Qatar GP
Tags MotoGP, 2019, QATAR MotoGP™ TEST
Preseason has officially come to an end for the premier class as all eyes turn to FP1 on Friday 8th March at the Losail International Circuit in Qatar. But before you do, take a look at some of the numbers behind 2019 winter testing below.
Honda had the highest top speed at the Qatar Test
A surprising stat to some, but it was in fact the reigning World Champion Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) who set the highest number through the speed traps in Losail. His 348.4km/h was slightly quicker than Jack Miller's (Alma Pramac Racing) Desmosedici, that clocked in at 347.2. Proof that HRC has managed to improve their engine for the 2019 campaign.
Honda vs Ducati: who is most prepared after the preseason? 26/02/2019
Marquez' Chief Engineer, Santi Hernandez, and Dovizioso's Track Engineer, Alberto Giribuola, explain what they've achieved over the winter
"During the winter, we tried to remedy our weak points, namely acceleration and top speed. We continue to work on this, but it looks like we have made a big step forward in this area," commented Marquez' chief engineer Santi Hernandez.
This was also reiterated by Honda newcomer Jorge Lorenzo (Repsol Honda Team): "Marc was the fastest in a straight line this Saturday, which is rather encouraging, as the Honda lost a bit of speed compared to the Ducati last year."
The absolute top speed attained at the Losail International Circuit is still held by a Ducati, with Danilo Petrucci's effort of 351.9km/h from 2018 the best we've seen so far. Will that be topped during the Grand Prix?
Viñales completed the most laps
Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP's Maverick Viñales was the rider who notched up the highest total number of laps during preseason testing. Over the ten days, the Spaniard lapped 589 times, the equivalent of 2940.1km.
Marquez takes a great step on day 2 of the Qatar Test 24/02/2019
The World Champion got himself in the top 5 today as he pushed the pace in the second day of the final preseason test
In terms of manufacturer numbers, Aprilia Racing Team Gresini was the team lapped the least, with fellow Italian factory Ducati totalling the most:
Ducati: Danilo Petrucci, Andrea Dovizioso, Jack Miller, Francesco Bagnaia, Karel Abraham, Tito Rabat = 2910 laps
Yamaha: Maverick Viñales, Valentino Rossi, Fabio Quartararo, Franco Morbidelli = 2263 laps
KTM: Pol Espargaro, Johann Zarco, Miguel Oliveira, Hafizh Syahrin = 1919 laps
Honda: Marc Marquez, Jorge Lorenzo, Cal Crutchlow, Takaaki Nakagami = 1574 laps
Suzuki: Joan Mir, Alex Rins = 1116 laps
Aprilia: Andrea Iannone, Aleix Espargaro = 696 laps
Viñales never finished outside the top five
This didn't happen to anyone last year and it has been Viñales who has – arguably – been the most impressive rider during preseason. A similar thing happened during Viñales' first season with Yamaha, in which he dominated the 2017 preseason before going on to claim victory in Qatar. Let's wait and see if he is to repeat that on 10th March.
Rossi and Viñales: new colours, new sponsor, new season 05/02/2019
The Monster Energy Yamaha team are determined and excited to get off to a good start in 2019
For the rookies, reigning Moto2™ World Champion Francesco Bagnaia (Alma Pramac Racing) comes out on top in terms of average finishing positions in the tests. His 11.7 average is slightly better than Fabio Quartararo's (Petronas Yamaha SIC) 12.7.
Iannone suffered the greatest number of crashes
In terms of crashes, Andrea Iannone (Aprilia Racing Team Gresini) was the rider to suffer the most during preseason testing (4). Behind the Italian with three falls each are Johann Zarco (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing), Miller and LCR Honda Castrol's Cal Crutchlow.

This new community garden was a former housing site, which had become a hot spot for illegal activities and arson.
The green space was an area of concern to residents and required ongoing attention from the Police, Fire Service and the Cheshire West and Chester Council (CWaC).
Local residents began a conversation with CWaC about taking ownership of the space to create a community garden.
CWaC was keen to support this and transferred ownership to the local resident group.
Residents began by raising funds to install railings around the space. They then worked closely with CWaC's locality team and their local councillor to gain the transfer of a BBC garden.
The space is now a very successful, well respected community garden.


WASHINGTON -- When the Democratic presidential candidates pause from beating Hillary with a stick, they join in unison to pronounce the Democratic pieties, chief among which is that George Bush has left our alliances in ruins. As Clinton puts it, we have "alienated our friends," must "rebuild our alliances" and "restore our standing in the world." That's mild. The others describe Bush as having a scorched-earth foreign policy that has left us reviled and isolated in the world.
Like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, who insist that nothing of significance has changed in Iraq, the Democrats are living in what Bob Woodward would call a state of denial. Do they not notice anything?
France has a new president who is breaking not just with the anti-Americanism of the Chirac era but with 50 years of Fifth Republic orthodoxy that defined French greatness as operating in counterpoise to America. Nicolas Sarkozy's trip last week to the United States was marked by a highly successful White House visit and a rousing speech to Congress in which he not only called America "the greatest nation in the world" (how many leaders of any country say that about another?) but pledged solidarity with the U.S. on Afghanistan, Iran, Lebanon, the Middle East and nuclear nonproliferation. This just a few months after he sent his foreign minister to Iraq to signal an openness to cooperation and an end to Chirac's reflexive obstructionism.
That's France. In Germany, Gerhard Schroeder is long gone, voted out of office and into a cozy retirement as Putin's concubine at Gazprom. His successor is the decidedly pro-American Angela Merkel, who concluded an unusually warm visit with Bush this week.
All this, beyond the ken of Democrats, is duly noted by new British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who in an interview with Sky News on Sunday noted "the great change that is taking place," namely "that France and Germany and the European Union are also moving more closely with America."
As for our other traditional alliances, relations with Australia are very close, and Canada has shown remarkable steadfastness in taking disproportionate casualties in supporting the NATO mission in Afghanistan. Eastern European nations, traditionally friendly, are taking considerable risks on behalf of their U.S. alliance -- for example, cooperating with us on missile defense in the face of enormous Russian pressure. And ties with Japan have never been stronger, with Tokyo increasingly undertaking military and quasi-military obligations that it had forsworn for the last half-century.
So much for the disarray of our alliances.
The critics will say that all this is simply attributable to the rise of Russia and China causing old allies to turn back to us out of need.
So? I would even add that the looming prospect of a nuclear Iran has caused Arab states -- Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf states, even Libya -- to rally to us. All true. And it makes the point that the Bush critics have missed for years -- that the strength of alliances is heavily dependent on the objective balance of international forces, and has very little to do with the syntax of the U.S. president or the disdain in which he might be held by a country's cultural elites.
It's classic balance-of-power theory: Weaker nations turn to the great outside power to help them balance a rising regional threat. Allies are not sentimental about their associations. It is not a matter of affection, but of need -- and of the great power's ability to deliver.
The rise of external threats to our allies has concentrated their minds on the need for the American connection. The revival of American fortunes in Iraq -- and the diminished prospect of an American rout -- have significantly increased the value of such a connection. This is particularly true among our moderate Arab allies who see us as their ultimate protection against an Iran-Syria-Hezbollah-Hamas axis that openly threatens them all.
It's always uncomfortable for a small power to rely on a hegemon. But a hegemon on the run is even worse. Alliances are always shifting. But one thing we can say with certainty: The event that will have more effect than any other on the strength of our alliances worldwide is not another Karen Hughes outreach to the Muslim world, not an ostentatious embrace of Kyoto, or even the most abject embrace of internationalism from the podium of the UN. It is success or failure in Iraq.

See it like a native Sampling everyday life
By Melina I. De Rose Staff Writer
There's something about firsts.
And Santo Domingo, the oldest city of the Americas, boasts many.
In the Dominican capital for the first time, I sat in the courtyard of an apartment complex, listening as the neighbors relayed a long list of must-sees: among them, the first street, military fortress and cathedral of the New World.
Lucky for me, my friend (and Dominican native) Alex knew where to go and what to do. We only had a long weekend, and had been en route to the car when his neighbors' chatter led us to peek in for a quick hello.
Thanks to Columbus & Co., every step here tells a story - one my new friends were only too happy to share. Their pride was palpable. After all, whether you're North, Central or South American, this is where it began for all of us.
Being that I love a good story, I was hooked.
We set out for the Colonial District the next morning.
We began, appropriately, on the city's first roadway, Calle Las Damas, or Ladies Street. It was so named, the story goes, because the wife of Diego Columbus (Christopher's son) liked to take afternoon walks there with her ladies-in-waiting. During our stroll, I took in the stone buildings with long, wooden doors, the old-fashioned light poles and the ceramic street signs with bright-blue trim. A pair of horse-drawn buggies completed the picture.
Heading west along this promenade, we hit the Parque Colon. The traditional square, brought over from the Old World and later duplicated throughout the Americas, remains a gathering place for tourists and vendors, festivals and nightlife.
Because Old World charm mixes with the new, across from the rows of benches and patches of green was a Hard Rock Cafe (as jarring to me as that time I spotted a Starbucks in Stratford-upon-Avon, mere steps from Shakespeare's birthplace). But stand at the plaza long enough and you can almost envision how the rest of the city came to life and grew around it.
Of course, Christopher Columbus is still there, in the middle of it all, covered in pigeons, like all good statues.
Spotting the imposing Catedral Primada de America up ahead, I raced toward the entrance, barely registering the man trying to stop me.
"She can't go in like that," he said, gesturing to Alex. That's when I remembered the no-bare-shoulders rule that had almost prevented me from seeing several important European cathedrals, too.
As a sign of respect, you don't wear tank tops or shorts. But before I could walk away dejected, the man wielded a yellow shawl and let me through, not without first giving me a stern reminder that I had to keep covered at all times.
The cathedral, by all accounts, took so long to build in the early 1500s that it required many architects. As a result, the completely contrasting styles, including Roman, Renaissance and gothic, are apparent. I examined the plaques, altar pieces and small chapels inside, and tried to take pictures without releasing my tight hold on the shawl.
Next stop was the nearby Panteon Nacional, which started out a Jesuit church but is now, after several incarnations, the resting place for some of the island's most distinguished public figures. A tour guide solemnly identified each person as we walked past rows of flags and marble-lined tombs. He spoke of Concepcion Bona, who helped design the Dominican flag (the only one to feature an open Bible, he said); and of Emilio Prud'homme and Jose Reyes, credited with creating the national anthem.
Dictator Rafael Trujillo restored the pantheon around 1955, and symbols of his friendships throughout the world are still present. Spanish dictator Francisco Franco donated the copper chandelier, and iron grills near the ceiling may have been a gift from the German government. Depending on how you look at them, the designs could be crosses or swastikas.
Weaving through side streets, we stopped at a money-changing office (the dollar was at about 33 pesos) and a souvenir shop for that last-minute trinket, a small facade of a colonial building for my mom.
"Excuse me, do you speak French?" The question, asked in perfect English, caught us off-guard. We heard it a couple more times before realizing that the clusters of teens who kept coming up to us were obviously on a citywide scavenger hunt.
I quickly returned to the past, though, at the Fortress of Santo Domingo, with its canons pointing to the brown-bottomed Ozama River and some long-ago enemy sailing up to shore. Christopher Columbus' relatives lived close by, in a boxy, two-story building known as the Alcazar de Colon.
Intimate view
I loved everything I saw that day, just as the neighbors had promised. But the highlight of my trip was the invaluable opportunity to be a part of everyday life on the island.
Having an "insider" there helped expose a more intimate view of the city. The emergency stop at La Sirena supermarket for motor oil and Brugal rum. Breakfast at Adrian Tropical, along the banks of El Malecon, where they offer traditional fare such as sancocho and mangu, as well as an exquisite view of the water's edge. (Dominican Juan Luis Guerra has a lyric about wanting to sing his "song in the middle of Malecon" - now I know why.)
The Daisy hair salon, with its indoor rock lagoon teeming with turtles. And the constant visits to gas stations throughout Santo Domingo, where there's no self-service, just like in my native Argentina.
We played pool at a private neighborhood hangout, Club Naco, to the sounds of merengue coming from downstairs. And scrambled to find tickets for the DJ Frank Lorber party, that weekend's biggest event. I developed a craving for Country Club raspberry soda, enjoyed a beachside jaunt with Presidente beer, and had my first taste of gin at the chic Dock lounge, which serves up drinks that are bigger than your head (no joke!) and is part of a mall built to resemble a ship.
And I got to celebrate the island's Father's Day, that Sunday afternoon with the neighbors who had gathered in the courtyard. They quickly pulled up chairs for us and popped open a bottle of sparkling cider.
The circle expanded as more friends stopped in to pay their respects to the dads. It reminded me of life in Argentina. Turns out we all share as many similarities as differences. Between sightseeing suggestions, they talked about the high cost of gas and the unbearable hot weather. About the city's traffic laws and the recent presidential elections. They wanted to know about my life in Miami, my job as a journalist - and they didn't even comment on my "funny" Argentine Spanish.
Our quick hello turned into almost four hours.
Forget the museums. I learned more about Dominican culture and its people right then and there. They welcomed me into the circle and made me feel like a native, when I'd only been there a few days.
Now that was a first.

Capacity & Demand
Freighter Aircraft
Freighter Conversions
[EXCLUSIVE] Details on how Amazon will build its overnight air venture
by David Harris
in Capacity & Demand, Express, Freighter Aircraft, Freighter Conversions, Strategy
Source: Public.Resource.Org
News of the ramping up of an Amazon logistics unit comes in the wake of something of an open secret that the e-commerce giant is conducting a trial air operation in the US, in partnership with Air Transport Services Group Inc, a publicly traded airfreight company. Less commonly known is that Amazon has been running more than one such operation – there is also one based at Seattle's Boeing Field (BFI), serving a set of destinations in the Western US.
Amazon appears to be pleased with the trials, because several independent sources have confirmed to Cargo Facts that Amazon has made the decision to launch the overnight air operations, beginning with acquisition of a fleet of 767 freighters.
Amazon's progress toward a full overnight air venture has taken what appears to be a methodical approach. The efforts started with its involvement with ATSG.
During a conference call in early November, following publication of Air Transport Services Group's third-quarter results, CEO Joe Hete commented on the subject of managing express networks for customers, saying: "The trial ACMI express network that we launched in September for a US customer has been performing well. It started with two of our 767s and a sort operation here in Wilmington and will grow to five aircraft next week."
Since that time, ATSG has declined to comment further, but both the air freight and express industry and the investment community, as well as the the tech media, have identified the mystery ATSG customer as e-commerce giant Amazon. We published an analysis of the Wilmington-based operation two weeks ago.
Since then Amazon has amped up its logistics efforts, source say.
First, it appears that, in addition to the Wilmington operation with ATSG, Amazon also set up a small air express trial based at Seattle's King County International Airport (BFI, more commonly known as Boeing Field), using a 737 freighter operated by Northern Air Cargo on a triangular route connecting Seattle, San Bernardino (close to a large Amazon fulfillment center), and the small city of Boise (population 215,000) in Western Idaho.
Second, Cargo Facts has learned that Amazon is now committed to launching its own-controlled US domestic express operation, beginning with the acquisition of a fleet of twenty 767-300 freighters. None of the parties involved has been willing to comment on the record, and Cargo Facts has not been able to confirm the reports independently, but here is what we have learned so far:
Amazon is attempting to acquire 20 767-300Fs over the next three years. (One source says "up to forty," but that may be over a longer time period.) Amazon is apparently talking to Boeing about acquiring and/or converting the widebodys.
Everyone with a US Air Operator Certificate is scrambling for a piece of Amazon's 767 action. None have openly said "We plan to operate these airplanes for Amazon," but…
o Kalitta Air: Kalitta, which until now has been a 747-only freighter operator, bought two 767-300s and is having them converted to BDSF freighter configuration at the Bedek Aviation Group facility in Tel Aviv. CEO Conrad Kalitta said he planned to add "five or six more" in the future. When asked what had led him to add the new type to his fleet, he said "I think these aircraft will work perfectly for DHL support," but Kalitta has since made clear that DHL is just one possible customer, and that "nothing is definitive yet."
o Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings: Atlas recently acquired two 767-300s and has had them converted to BDSF freighter configuration by Bedek. Atlas has said the two will be leased to DHL, but Cargo Facts believes Atlas is also in the process of buying two more 767-300s, and may be looking for as many as six more beyond that.
o Air Transport Services Group: Like Kalitta and Atlas, ATSG does a significant amount of flying for DHL, but given that it has been Amazon's partner in the trial, and that it has extensive experience in the operation of a major sortation facility, it is an obvious partner in any future Amazon air operation. So rumors that it, too, is on the hunt for 767 aircraft, are not surprising.
Amazon's reported negotiations with Boeing regarding production freighters comes with some complications. Boeing's 767 line is solidly booked into the far future with orders from FedEx and the US Air Force, but Cargo Facts sources say it may be possible to open a few production slots for Amazon each year. Negotiations are apparently ongoing.
Aside from acquiring feedstock, anyone who hopes to fly for Amazon must find conversion slots, and this may be an equally challenging problem, as the only two sources of 767 passenger-to-freighter conversions – Boeing and IAI/Bedek – are booked well into next year. Whether either of them would consider opening a new line is unknown, but it is a possibility, given sufficient demand
Amazon has hired a significant number of new staff in the last year with experience in transportation and logistics.
So where does all of the above leave us? Cargo Facts believes that a likely plan for setting up an own-controlled US domestic air network will start with ACMI-leasing freighters from carriers such as those mentioned above (and perhaps others), with the freighters operating out of a hub at Wilmington. This location served as DHL's hub during its short-lived attempt to enter the US domestic market some years ago. This ACMI phase would be followed by a move to purchase or dry-lease freighters, and have them operated on a CMI basis, the cheapest alternative for a company with Amazon's financial leverage.
And in the long run? Will Amazon eventually acquire its own AOC, and launch "Amazon Airlines?" We don't know, but considering that Amazon is currently sitting on more than $3 billion of cash, we wouldn't bet against it.

Some years I go on literary binges, reading quite a bit about a certain place or time period or subject. I had two mini-obsessions in 2017: World War I and the Spanish Civil War.
My interest in World War I was driven in party by genealogical research about my great-grandfather, Charles L. James, who served in France.
My friend Kate, hearing about my World War I jones and knowing I'm a sucker for a female sleuth, put me onto Maisie Dobbs, written by Jacqueline Winspear. How could I not have discovered this book, first published in 2003, sooner?
Maisie is a young woman with great intelligence and limited means. After working as a nurse at the front, she returns to England and becomes a private investigator. Her first case initially seems straightforward but leads her to confront her painful wartime memories.
One of the best things about discovering Maisie Dobbs? There are thirteen books available in this series already. Knowing that a series you like has so many unread books is such a security blanket. Catching up on Maisie will get me through reading lulls for quite some time.

My pen is on a deep slumber and my muse is on an indefinite leave. Perfect. What's left of me then? Nothin' really - I was never a writer and will never be. But to counter this so-called boredom of mostly staying in my room for the past two months, and after receiving a rousing text message from a friend, I decided to at least distill my thoughts for a change. I have a passion in writing - I used to write,and sometimes draft, poems and fragments but not essays and complete yearnings. Words always have their ways to escape when I plan to write one. Hehehe.
As of the moment, my camera is my bestfriend, it gives me satisfaction that I didn't experience before. I mean through its lens, I am exposed to the hidden beauty of certain things. Well, writing provides me a different self-contentment though, as I have to power to be the inventor of scenarios.
Just now, these two friends of mine, my camera and my muse, finally meet and promise to be a great duo for a long time. Well, I hope that in one way or another, they will continue to inspire this one-eyed engineer, especially in his unproductive days of waiting.
The above equation will solely be the guideline for me to keep this page running.
Cheers to another one of our writing adventures. I'll be eagerly waiting your beautiful pictures and prose!
'I was never a writer and will never be' Your writing is just great. Keep up the good work.
Camera is one good muse. Keep writing..
You may not be aware of it, but your outputs as a writer is already rich. Stop worrying or feeling guilty if you take a leave from writing sometimes ~ even engines need to change oil and refueling. You have the passion, and as long as you have it you will write, and you will contenue to grow as writer.
As a photographer, that's out of question.
Have a great home-coming this March. My Birthday greeting to your mom.
Great blog! Happy almost-Birthday to you! I enjoyed coming here--(you are the first person I've noticed to have one of my favorite books on your list: A Prayer for Owen Meany. A fantastic book.
Your own writing is fine! And I love my camera, too.
This entry just shows how creative you are, as a writer, as a photographer and as a person. I love the whole concept behind your blog, and even your blog title is well thought of.
PS: Followed your awesome blog.
