"Our growth rate in 2014 was around 14%, we think that this year the growth rate will be in the range of 7 to 9%. We obtained the Malta deal because of our ranking in IBS and Gartner," says Joe Faddoul, Chairman of BML Istisharat, the leading core banking software provider.
"We think there will be at least two or three more banks in the next five years who are going to change their core application system and we are confident that we will have our share in this potential market."

It is good wedding gowns, to spend my birthday with some good friends. And as I look around the room, there are very few of you who I haven't, in some form or fashion, worked directly with on an issue -- some of you dating back to when I was in the state legislature , some of you who I've worked with in the United States Senate, and all of you who I've had the opportunity to work with as President of the United States wedding gowns.
So I am grateful. And I want to first of all thank Rich, not only for inviting me here, not only for I know making clear my commitment to all of you during an earlier session today, but also for your outstanding leadership of the labor movement. And we very much appreciate everything that you do. I want to thank Liz and Arlene for bucking up Rich all the time -- (laughter) -- and making him look good. This is a shared leadership, and we are very proud of them. I want to thank all the members of the Executive Council, all my brothers and sisters in the AFL-CIO archlord gold.
Together, you are fighting for the hardworking men and women in this country after nearly 10 years of struggle. The middle class has been struggling now for about a decade -- 10 years in which folks felt the sting of stagnantincomes and sluggish job growth and declining economic security, as well as at least eight years in which there was a profound animosity towards the notion of unions.It's going to take some time to reverse all that's been done, but we're on the right track. We're moving forward. And that's what I'm going to want to talk to you about briefly today last chaos gold.
I hope you don't mind me interjecting , though, a topic, because it's in the news right now and I want to make sure that all of you are aware of it.One place in our country where people have faced particular struggles in the last few months is in the Gulf of Mexico as a result of the BP oil spill. So it was very welcome news when we learned overnight that efforts to stop the well through what's called a "static kill" appear to be working -- and that a report out today by our scientists show that the vast majority of the spilled oil has been dispersedor removed from the water. So the long battle to stop the leak and contain the oil is finally close to coming to an end. And we are very pleased with that wow cd keys.
Our recovery efforts, though, will continue. We have to reverse the damage that's been done, we will continue to work to hold polluters accountable for the destruction they've caused, we've got to make sure that folks who were harmed are reimbursed, and we're going to stand by the people of the region however long it takes until they're back on their feet.Now, beyond the Gulf, many of those who've been hit hardest by the economic upheaval of recent years have been the people that you represent. For generations, manufacturing was the ticket to a better life for the American worker maple story power leveling.
But as the world became smaller, outsourcing , an easier way to increase profits, a lot of those jobs shifted to low-wage nations. So, many who held those jobs went to work in the construction industry, as we had the housing boom.

Ice Cream Course Is a Cool Class
Penn State teaches ice cream making to foodies and business-minded
By Catherine Brown	• Published at 2:34 pm on January 17, 2011
Penn State's famed ice cream-making course may be the coolest class on campus.
The program just finished churning out a new batch of students.
Once filled with workers from the commercial ice cream industry, the nearly century-old "Ice Cream Short Course" has attracted more aspiring entrepreneurs or self-described "foodies" eager to expand on their homemade hobbies.
Food science professor Robert Roberts organizes the week-long course, which just finished this past weekend. He says it's in part the extension of recent broader food trends of increased interest in locally sourced food.
Roberts says about 60 percent of attendees are now either startup business owners or aspire to go into business.
The course is heavy on the science and business of ice cream, complete with homework, labs and exams. It includes workshops and instruction in flavoring, refrigeration, freezing and hardening techniques for frozen yogurt and other frozen desserts, beyond ice cream.
The specialty class dates back to 1892. The School of Agriculture's dairy manufacturing class was offered during the winter when there was little farm work to be done. Tuition was free, with a $5 fee for class expenses.
Now the seven-day course is offered annually in January.


Mark Lawrence recently challenged his facebook followers to give him a page number between 1 and 415 and he would try to find a spoiler free quote to share from that page of The Wheel of Osheim. There may have been those who hoped to tease the entire book from him in a giant literary jigsaw and so get a drop on its June 7th release date. For those who have not yet got their hands on an Advance Reading Copy - circle that date - (Think D-Day landings + 72 years and 1 day). The Wheel of Osheim is another feast of quality writing and high "quote per page" density.
For me though, the quote that spoke to me most comes from page 343.
"A story will lead a man through dark places. Stories have direction. A good story commands a man's thoughts along a path, allowing no opportunity to stray, no space for anything but the tale as it unfolds before you."
There are times in our lives when we all need a story that good and The Wheel of Osheim is itself just such a story. I think I will struggle to rein in my review, for the book sets so many dominos toppling in different directions in my mind. The joy, as ever is in Lawrence's writing, his vivid imagery and his charmingly reprehensible characters cast mercilessly into a raging torrent of a plot.
Jal's timeline is entwined in a braid with Jorg's, the two very different heroes inhabiting the same time and setting. Here, as in Prince of Fools, the stories bump briefly alongside each other, ships that pass, somewhat drunkenly, in the night and part - the one not entirely untouched by the other.
However, even for those of us who followed Jorg all the way to the end of Emperor of Thorns, Lawrence still provides plenty of heart-in-the-mouth alarms and surprises as Jal skitters along at perilous heights and depths. Along the way, both Jal and the reader get some new perspectives on old friends some of whom need particular watching!
There is a poem from the mid-season finale of the sixth Dr Who series that the Wheel of Osheim put me in mind of. "When a good man goes to war."
odds stacked so heavily in my favour that the only danger to me is being crushed by them should they fall.
My main rule of running, after "don't stop" and "go faster" is "go high or go to ground."
And to be honest, looking at the foes Jal faces, even Jorg might have thought twice about plunging in.
For me there were other resonances between Demons Run and the Wheel of Osheim. There are demons, there are men who run (Jal chief amongst them) and women who stay and there is the lost child - Jal's unborn sister, murdered in his mother's womb by the necromancer Edris Dean. The child may have been a pawn in an undead game, but - as the book's cover says - a pawn can change the game. In my limited chess experience that is usually when the pawn is transformed into the most powerful piece on the board - a queen.
The threat of that transformation drives Jal and the story on, through Hell (one l or two, it's all the same) and out the other side.
Lawrence's Hell (or rather Snorri and Jal's Hel) reminded me of the Robin Williams film "What Dreams May Come" from the 1990s. The film was about heaven rather than hell, as a doctor already hit by family tragedy is flung into heaven by a road traffic accident. But both the film and Lawrence's book paint a vivid and fantastic landscape of the afterlife. A place shaped by each man's imagination, belief and misdeeds and - for someone with as colourful a past as Jal that ensures Hel is not a place to linger in.
But not everyone in Hel is an enemy and even in so desolate a place there is a chance of peace for a grieving Viking.
However, there are worse things than Hel and the Wheel of Osheim calls inexorably to Jal and any few he can gather around him. The wheel is a machine - the machine that broke the world and allowed magic to leak into it so that men (and women) could manipulate reality by the power of their wills. And the machine is spinning faster and faster.
There are two images the wheel conjures up for me, the first - the large hadron collider in Cern - I mean come on! In his helpful "previously in the Red Queen's War" catch-up notes Lawrence describes the machine as "mysterious engines hidden in a circular underground tunnel many miles across"
For those with a passing acquaintanceship with particle physics the link will prompt a smile at least, that a machine to probe the limits of reality might in Lawrence's vision of a distant future have ruptured reality so catastrophically.
But there was another link too for me - the 1956 film about a 23rd century rescue mission to a space-archaeologist and his daughter wrecked on the eponymous "Forbidden Planet."
In that film as I recall it, a lost alien civilisation had been wiped out overnight by their greatest invention. The machine, drawing on unlimited resources of power, could create reality out of imagination; so - in their alien dreams - the nightmares came to life and destroyed them. The foolish archaeologist does not realise how he has - unwittingly - harnessed that same power to unleash his own nightmare on the spaceship crew.
In the film only the destruction of a planet could turn the machine off.
In Osheim... well read the book and find out.
The film, however, has another side to it - for it was seen by many as a re-imagining of Shakespeare's play "The Tempest" where the wizard Prospero lives on an island with his daughter and uses magic to manipulate reality and tease and torment some shipwrecked sailors.
And I like that. For in the film magic was re-imagined as science and sixty years later in this the sixth book set in the Broken Empire, Lawrence re-invents science as magic.


Just got in an argument with some sensationalist sheepling that had yet to be enlightened to the cold & calculated mechanics of the system; I made a concept map to make things more clear to them, thought I'd share it here.
Tell me what you think; I made it fairly fast and in somewhat of an angered state but hopefully it makes an okay approximation.
Edit: I'll try to fit in all the suggestions made; it can be a project of sorts. And I was a little perturbed earlier if your wondering why it comes across a little Effy.
Disregard the structure; realize this simulation is a good one, and that it is a privilege to be here.
I like it, but I think it's incomplete and I think it shows some bias due to personal experience.
"The unfortunate urge to educate the individual in thinking for himself and being self-productive has cast a shadow over truth." - (Report to Niethammer, 23 October 1812).
"One of the chief factors in education is discipline, the purport of which is to break down the child's self-will and thereby eradicate his purely natural and sensuous self." - (Philosophy of Right, §174a).
"This self-will, this germ of evil, must be broken and destroyed by discipline." - (Subjective Spirit §396n).
"The most rational thing that children can do with their toys is to break them." - (Subjective Spirit §396n).
This philosophy has led our education system have a slew of structural problems, imho.
-We group students based on age.
-We teach part time. Seasonally, and 5 days a week.
-Our achievement goals and learning criteria are heavily standardized.
-Funding is tied to achievement, creating a negative feedback loop wherein poorly achieving school districts can't get the funds they need to improve. When these schools financially collapse, successful schools, which are typically in wealthy districts, don't want to take in poor/poorly performing students, and use their political sway to avoid doing so.
-We remove students who don't function well in this structure; schools send poor achievers and anyone who sticks out to remedial units as a means to boost their numbers and secure funding.
Also, given your comparison between the U.S. and China, consider the number of Chinese college students in American universities, especially graduate school. The majority of the student population of many graduate school departments in the sciences are foreigners; some 80+%. Why is that, if the American system is so bad? The ratios of foreign to domestic student admissions have created a substantial bias and strong incentive to alter admissions criteria, as foreign students are frequently criticized for being robotic, lacking personality, and being deficient in areas other than academic scoring.
I've studied in both western and eastern institutions. For me, The west trumps the east...overwhelmingly. I prefer things liberal. Eastern educational institutions is anything but that. We score highly but that's just a product of rigorous lower level faculties like rote memorization.
As someone that isn't from US or China I can see how this western mindmap is not the same for western countries.
I wouldn't agree with eastern increased likelyhood to question/innovate. Early schooling in Asia is centered on memorisation techniques and brute force methods, from examples I studied. I don't know what degree of freedom they are given in their later stages, however they still choose to study abroad as a great finale to their educational careers. This might be because their high education is borrowed from the west and they have not yet developed their own system that would boost creativity and flexibility based on their strong early discipline to support it.
Above are two strongly detrimental factors. Grouping results in boosting below-averages and halting above-averages, while practically destroying extreme low and extreme high.
Teaching part time is more inconsequential, over 2-3 month long holidays the discipline and information is scattered and needs to be brought to form again in the first months of next year.
This might be because their high education is borrowed from the west and they have not yet developed their own system that would boost creativity and flexibility based on their strong early discipline to support it.
Indeed. Lack of technology breeds proficiency and amazing quality of skills (robots), but not innovation. Laziness is a prerequisite for innovation.
Confucianism is very similar to Hegelian thought.
I wouldn't call teaching part time inconsequential. Large gaps are one problem, but so is the intensity of dedicating 8+ hours a day to it, including travel time; more time in rural areas. It should also start at a later hour, imho, when students as well as their teachers are awake and cognitively efficient.
I am familiar with Confucianism, THD. Would you mind outlining the facets of Hegelian thought that are analogous?
Thinking myself and others out of our own holes.

Disney Characters Used Again to Show Problems in Society
By Alexandria Ingham on July 4, 2014 No Comment
Disney and other popular TV characters have been used again to show problems in society. This time, an artist has used the characters to highlight the concern for women living with abusive partners. However, rather than aiming towards the women to encourage them to speak out about abuse, the posters are targeting the men to think about the type of men they are.
Some of the characters used include Marge Simpson, Lois Griffin and Snow White, knowing that many of these will affect the men as well as women and families of the abused. While the Disney characters will call out to younger children, the use of popular animation characters like those from The Simpsons and Family Guy will speak to the men as they are more likely to watch the programs.
AleXsandro Palombo from Milan, Italy, decided he wanted to start the No Violence Against Women project. The best way to get the message across was by using popular women in TV, and the idea that many pretend that they are happy with their partner. There are more women who go through this than they like to admit. According to a British Crime Survey, there were 12.9 million domestic violence incidents in 2013 within the United Kingdom alone. Women's Aid believes that somewhere between six and 10 percent of women will go through domestic violence on a yearly basis and a quarter of women deal with at least one experience during their life.
Palombo has used Disney characters in 2012 to show problems in society. The first time was in the Do You Still Like Us? project, which showed the characters with missing limbs, using crutches and in wheelchairs. The idea was to raise awareness for disabilities and the problems in society for those with disabilities. It was one very close to the heart for the 40-year-old artist, who only has one leg.
The Italian is not the only one to use the Disney characters either. Just recently, the brand's princesses were used to highlight the problem of child abuse from family members. Ariel, Jasmine and Aurora were depicted with their fathers as a way to show how sexual abuse can come from those close to home.
Saint Hoax explained that the use of the princesses would help to target the intended people. Young children are more likely to related to the princesses, and will understand the importance of speaking up if something like this is happening.
The characters has also been used for fun and games. Back in 2013, photographer Dina Goldstein placed the characters in their not so happy ever after predicaments, and some of those did help to raise awareness for various problems in society. Rapunzel was depicted as a cancer patient going through treatment, while Jasmine was forced to fight in the Middle East.
Popular characters will continue to be used for art, whether it is just for fun or to raise awareness. Disney characters have been used again by Italian artist Palombo, as he tries to show for problems in society again.

Johns Hopkins to host discussion on racial bias in U.S. drug policy, enforcement
Columbia's Carl Hart to speak as part of JHU Forums on Race in America series
/ Published April 6, 2017
Carl Hart, driven by his scientific research on the effects of drugs on the brain, believes that drug policy in the United States is used to perpetuate racial discrimination.
Image caption: Carl Hart
Hart, chair of the Department of Psychology at Columbia University, has published nearly 100 scientific articles in the area of neuropsychopharmacology. He is co-author of the textbook Drugs, Society and Human Behavior with Charles Ksir, and his most recent book—High Price: A Neuroscientist's Journey of Self-Discovery That Challenges Everything You Know About Drugs and Society—was the 2014 winner of the PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award.
Hart will visit Johns Hopkins University on April 18 to give a talk titled "Drug Policy is Race Policy." The event, part of the JHU Forums on Race in America series, will be held at 7 p.m. in Mason Hall. Advance registration is required; there is no cost to attend. A live broadcast will be available on the Johns Hopkins Ustream channel.
Hart's talk will focus on how drugs are vilified based on perceptions about who uses them.
"U.S. drug policy serves to further marginalize those on the margins," Hart said. "The quicker we dispense with the notion that it's based on pharmacology, the clearer we can see the racial discrimination that drives the enforcement of drug laws."
Lester Spence, an associate professor of political science at Johns Hopkins and a member of the race forums steering committee, said Hart adds an important perspective to the series.
"If Dr. Hart didn't contribute anything more to American society than the knowledge that the 'crack baby' is a political construction, that the effects of crack-cocaine are similar to the effects of other drugs, then he'd still be worthy of worldwide acclaim," Spence said. "These two myths have done more damage to urban communities—particularly communities in cities like Baltimore—than can we can possibly calculate."
This is the final event of the race forums series for the 2016-17 academic year. Other events in the series have focused on the future of black power movements, Latinos in America, and most recently, race, intersectionality, and millennial social activism.

Sanjoy Dutta, Range Officer of Baikunthapur Forest in Jalpaiguri, India, poses with a python.
An Indian forest ranger was nearly strangled by an 18-foot python he'd captured.
The man posed for photos with the deadly snake over his shoulders.
The snake soon started writhing and began coiling around his neck before it was pulled off by a man in the crowd.
A forest ranger in West Bengal, India, diced with death after posing for photos with an 18-foot python he'd caught.
Sanjoy Dutta had reportedly been called to the village seen in the footage to capture a rock python killing and eating a goat.
Dutta held the powerful snake over his shoulders as onlookers took photos and selfies.
However, the animal soon became distressed and started writhing in the man's arms.
The ranger staggered away from the crowd as the snake began to coil around his neck and people were heard screaming.
Fortunately, someone from the crowd stepped in and managed to wrestle the reptile away from Dutta's throat as he shouted, "Hold the tail, hold the tail."
Indian rock pythons kill by biting and constricting, not injecting venom. They can grow to an enormous 23-feet and weigh up to 140kg, according to the BBC.
Nature and wildlife writer Janaki Lenin warned that the animal had been mishandled after capture.
Other commenters were also unsympathetic to Dutta's near-death experience.

New Report: 30 Million Solar Homes Would Create 1.77 Million Jobs, $69 Billion in Energy Savings
by Jess Del Fiacco | Date: 14 Jul 2021 | posted in: Energy | 0
Washington, D.C. – A new report finds that deploying distributed solar energy to the equivalent of 30 million American homes would produce significant job-creation and economic benefits while addressing climate change and mitigating racial and income disparities. By enacting policies to support the 30 million homes goal, the report concludes that federal policy makers could create 1.77 million new jobs and lead to $69 billion in energy savings over the next five years. The Initiative for Energy Justice, Institute for Local Self-Reliance, and Solar United Neighbors developed the report as part of the 30 Million Solar Homes campaign.
The report builds on policy recommendations the groups developed to achieve the 30 million solar homes goal. The report provides both state-level and congressional district-level data detailing the economic and environmental benefits of these recommendations, and a map illustrating these benefits in each state and congressional district.
Additionally, the report found that enacting the 30 Million Solar Homes policies would:
Eliminate global warming air pollution equivalent to closing 48 coal-burning power plants or taking 42m cars off the road for a year.
Increase new solar capacity nationally by 151 GW.
Power 20 million households in marginalized communities with local solar.
There is already broad-based support for this campaign. More than 330 energy equity, climate, business, environmental, faith, and public health organizations signed a letter to Congress urging the adoption of these recommendations.
"Encouraging local rooftop and community solar is the best way to bring the economic benefits of federal clean energy investment to all Americans," said John Farrell, Institute for Local Self-Reliance Co-Director. "It creates several times as many jobs per million dollars of investment as utility-scale solar. It provides greater opportunities for local entrepreneurs to start small businesses or for families to lower and stabilize energy costs."
The centerpiece of 30 Million Solar Homes is to rapidly and massively scale programs that help low-income families benefit from solar. The federal government spends billions of dollars every year to help families pay their energy costs, yet this approach serves less than twenty percent of the eligible population. Funding rooftop and community solar access targeted to these households would provide long-term financial relief and reduce the need for annual energy bill assistance. A majority of investment in the plan is reserved for marginalized communities.
"Americans of all political stripes support solar energy," said Anya Schoolman, Solar United Neighbors Executive Director. "It's one of the few things that unites people, regardless of where they live or political affiliation. People want to power their homes with solar. All we need is the political will to make it happen."
The proposal asks for additional funding for energy assistance programs such as the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). This will increase the energy bill assistance these programs already provide while also enabling the programs to expand solar access.
"Congress and the Administration want to act on climate change, how they act matters," said Subin DeVar, Initiative for Energy Justice Co-Founder. "The 30 Million Solar Homes program prioritizes widespread economic, financial, and employment benefits from climate action. It does so by focusing on rooftop and community solar and its prioritizing marginalized communities."
Over the coming months the 30 Million Solar Homes campaign will educate lawmakers and the Biden-Harris Administration about the benefits of distributed solar energy and the policies that can get America to 30 Million Solar Homes.

2018 marked the 40th birthday of In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), with particular personal significance. Without changing fertility clinics and taking a career break since April 2017, to further pursue our desire to be parents, I truly doubt I'd be sitting writing this whilst baby kicks inside me, 32 weeks pregnant.
We are so grateful to have found CARE Fertility and to have met the excellent Dr Francis in Nottingham who reviewed my history and all previous cycle notes.
It seems our previous clinic had been leaving my eggs to 'overcook', not monitoring sufficiently and therefore not retrieving my eggs at the optimal time. We felt such a relief in having this explanation in the early consultation process and really trusted that Dr Francis would finally be the one to help us be successful in achieving a healthy pregnancy.
We are cautiously hopeful, optimistic and excited and it will be a special moment to eventually introduce our new born baby and express our thanks and joy to Dr Francis and the brilliant teams at Nottingham and Birmingham.
It took 9 years to reach here, losing our first born, Leo (IVF) to pre-eclampsia, followed by 2 early losses and some failed cycles, numerous tests and scans, operations and procedures. We eventually visited Lourdes last year to pray for divine intervention, before our 5th cycle in 2018. This will be the most magical Christmas gift we could wish for. We're forever grateful for IVF and its advances, yet we still thank God every day - science can only do so much; the rest is in His hands.
As a pharmacist by profession, I always found it slightly ironic being on the receiving end of such an invasive form of treatment as IVF with so many drugs and several administration routes. A typical treatment entails 'down-regulation' with subcutaneous Buserelin to close your reproductive system. Ovaries are stimulated with injectable hormones to produce multiple follicles, then a procedure to retrieve the eggs after regular monitoring scans.
Most of my scans were in CARE Birmingham - we live closer to that clinic. The egg collection was carried out in CARE Nottingham. We were incredibly reassured by the exceptional level of skill and technology needed to combine eggs and sperm- we had ICSI – where individual sperm are injected into each egg. This was followed by an even greater need for the powers above to help fertilisation happen!
If you are lucky enough to have an egg fertilise, embryo transfer happens up to 5 days later, with regular embryology updates in between. If you are even luckier to have multiple embryos, they can be frozen if suitable. Some women depending on circumstances and history may be allowed to transfer more than one. We transferred one, discovering on arrival on transfer day that we had one more suitable for freezing; something we struggled to achieve previously, so this was a major breakthrough and miracle in itself.
Then begins the '2-week-wait' - if the embryo has implanted successfully, this produces a positive pregnancy test. This 'limbo' phase requires you to look after yourself, have faith, positivity, patience and lots of progesterone - crucial for supporting a potential pregnancy. I also injected Heparin to assist implantation, remaining on this and progesterone till 12 weeks, adding aspirin at 8 weeks due to my pre-eclampsia history. I was on I think at least seven different medications at one point, including the higher 5mg dose of folic acid and a 10mcg vitamin D tablet I had started soon after the advice at our first consultation last year. My husband also took a fertility supplement for 3 months before the IVF process.
Another addition recommended by Dr Francis for this second cycle with CARE was intralipid intravenous infusions - unlicensed in infertility but popular and recommended amongst private clinics which many patients and clinicians attribute successes to. We had undergone more testing since my last loss, including DNA fragmentation test of my husband's sperm (negative) and Chicago blood tests for me, which revealed elevated natural killer cells in my immune system. Intralipid infusion theoretically reduces these cells' activity, allowing embryos to implant and thrive without being attacked. I can't be totally sure intralipids made the difference this time in sustaining the pregnancy or a combination of factors including the changes in my life in general; naturally I can't help wonder.
One thing is certain - nothing is guaranteed at each stage of IVF treatment. The term 'rollercoaster' would be an understatement. IVF affects every aspect of your life and only you will know how long you are willing and able to keep trying.
If you're experiencing infertility or the agonising heartbreak of loss, please don't give up hope. Parenthood will often seem unreachable, you'll question everything, you may endure joyful highs and deepest lows; but keep going, draw on your strength, keep talking, arm yourself with information, care and expert knowledge; take the love and support of your partner, family and friends. Believe me - amazing things can happen; take some leaps of faith, whether it be via IVF, or other routes- above all, dare to dream.
December 2018 … Fabulous news !
We are absolutely delighted to announce that since we first put pen to paper – our beautiful son Theo was born in December. Words cannot express our joy and happiness to finally have the baby we have waited years to hold.
Our warmest thanks and appreciation go to the CARE teams in Nottingham and Birmingham without whom we would not have Theo.

'Pawn Stars' Favorite 'Chumlee' Was Arrested, And The Details Are Staggering
Stacey RitzenTwitterNews & Culture Writer
Austin "Chumlee" Russell from the History channel's Pawn Stars was arrested at his Las Vegas home Wednesday afternoon, after a police search warrant investigating an alleged sexual assault turned up drugs and weapons. Russell has yet to be booked on any sexual assault charges, but according to a spokesperson for the Las Vegas Police Department, the investigation is still ongoing and he is still considered a suspect in the case.
Austin Lee Russell, 33, was taken into custody when officers serving a search warrant in a sexual assault investigation found methamphetamine, marijuana and at least one gun at his southwest Las Vegas home, police said in a statement.
Russell was being held pending an initial court appearance on 19 drug-possession charges and one weapon charge, according to Clark County Detention Center records. His bail was set at $62,000.
For those unfamiliar with the series, Pawn Stars takes place at the family-operated Gold & Silver Pawn Shop on Las Vegas Boulevard. Chumlee works alongside his childhood friend Corey "Big Hoss" Harrison, whose father and grandfather co-own the store. The reality series just wrapped up airing season 12 last month, so it's unknown what this could mean for future episodes, or Russell's continuing involvement in the series.

What Murat did was very wrong. All the other children in the school had rich parents, and he was beginning to feel like a fish out of water. Vidhyanath didn't get in the car. I yelled at Sally. I doubt if he will come. John and Think always walk hand in hand. What a waste of time! Tell us why you went to see Carole. Running is good for the health. Lar was arrested in 2013.
Christian is not a team player. Is he right? You're not fat. The leader gave up the plan in despair. His opinion will probably be accepted. I didn't tell Michael everything. This behavior is energy-efficient in an environment where calories can be hard to come by. Why do you want to hurt us? You'd better sit here. They're taking pictures.
Can you eat raw oysters? Wendell has been quite unlucky, hasn't he? The rate of exchange is 145 yen to the dollar. Manolis told me that I could sleep on his couch. There are some differences between British English and American English. I don't have any other questions. I don't believe that Shannon is the murderer. Dan bandaged his hand. I guess that goes without saying, doesn't it? We know what to do.
I actually am 81 years old but if I subtract the time I've waited to get my bags at the airport, I'm only 43. This fluorescent lamp is starting to flicker. We'll have to replace it. I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Gordon is capable of doing such a thing. I'm proud of my dad. If it snows on the mountain, it is cold in the valley. They look smashing. We should go back to the ship. Ugly Betty is one of the most popular television shows in the world. Come back soon.
So, the assistant returned $1 to each man. You think that she is strange because she is not just Caucasian. Sridharan was the last person I expected to meet in Boston. My sister likes to dance. I was hungry but there was no fruit or ice cream for me. Every member must attend. Chris won't argue. Do you still have the notes I gave you? Teriann was getting agitated. You'll understand why one of these days.
I understand you're looking for a record album of nursery rhymes. Why is Latin important for the life of a person? Vivek started to drift off to sleep. They burned. I prefer going by foot than bicycling. The barbarian is, first and foremost, the man who believes in barbarianism. Michael lent me some money. You'll meet her tomorrow night. Visit your neighbourhood. People in every walk of life go to church.
They accused me of having broken my promise. Quintus has two servants. When were you planning on telling me? The water feels really warm. You're not the only one with this problem. What is at issue in this debate is the survival of our planet. It's time for you to stop going on and on all the time about ethnic deprivation. He took a great fancy to that house. Nice seeing you, too. I want to get on with my life.
Michel is doing that to help Jeffie, not me. I can hardly work now. I saw you. I'm fully recovered. She waved her arms in hopes of getting his attention. "Oh, darling," she said, "sit down, relax, and close your eyes." Where's Ellen sleeping tonight? In this case, let's go. I'll show you the way out. A man of that cut will always succeed.
Just out of curiosity, did you have really have any fun? There was no hot water. Botafogo has won the Brazilian League Trophy. Lars spent a lot of money. I'll do it some other time. Can both Jef and Adlai speak French? I've been very hungry since this morning. A male crocodile ate a female dog. Where will the picnic be? I couldn't stop.
Evelyn dealt five cards to each player. I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes. Does that hurt? Don't worry about the results of your test. Copper conducts electricity well. Can I pay you with a personal check? Don't sit upon it. How early do you go to bed? Ravi lives in the woods without electricity and running water. We don't want to be a bother.


It's quite fancy and beautifully bound, so you may be wondering why I didn't include it among my ancestors' books in the first place. The reason for this is twofold: First, I'm not sure how long this encyclopedia has actually been in my family. It used to be in my late grandfather's office, but no one knows whether it was an heirlom from his side of the family or whether he simply acquired it second hand as a decoration piece for his office.
Liebes Gristkind. // Ich bitte dich. // Ich wünsche mir ein Latschka, einen Regenschirm einen Muff ein Gleid und eine Schürtze und Haarmaschen.
As mentioned above, I'm not sure about the encyclopedia's provenance so I have no idea who wrote that letter all those years ago. What is apparent, though, from the listed items is that it must have been written by a woman or a girl (or, of course, by the only cross-dresser in the village). Also, judging by the handwriting, I'd say it most likely dates to the early 20th century. And from certain orthographic peculiarities (i.e. Gristkind and Gleid instead of Christkind and Kleid) we may deduce that it was indeed written in the eastern part of Austria where we don't really distinguish between "g" and "k" when speaking.


With more than half the votes counted Putin's party United Russia is winning a majority of the votes and more than two-thirds of the seats in the Duma.
With over 50% of the votes counted in Russia's parliamentary elections Putin's party United Russia appears to be heading for a landslide win with around 53% of the votes.
The winner-takes-all nature of the first past the post system being used in the single member constituencies which make up half the total of seats in the Duma meanwhile means that with 53% of the vote United Russia is sweeping the great majority of these constituencies.
The result is that United Russia is heading for a lopsided 70% majority in the Duma, giving Putin and the party what in Russia is called a 'constitutional majority' – one which would enable them to change the constitution without needing the support of other parties – though there is no talk of any constitutional amendments being proposed at the moment.
Battling for a very distant second place are Zhirinovsky's LDPR and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, each with around 14-15% of the vote. In an even further distant fourth place, with just over 6% of the vote, is the social democratic A Just Russia.
No other party appears to have crossed the 5% threshold need to win representation in the section of the Duma which is elected by the proportional representation/party list system, though it is possible that perhaps two liberals will gain seats in the Duma by winning votes in single member first past the post constituencies.
Despite the low turnout – which appears however to be higher than the 40% earlier reported – this is a decisive victory by United Russia by any measure. Putin's and the Kremlin's hold of the Duma remains as strong as ever.


It's been a small sample size so far, of course, but Profar is 0 for 5 this spring against left-handed pitchers. He's 9 for 24 (.375) against right-handers.
Profar has also been slowed by right shoulder tendinitis. He has yet to play the field, but should be ready at some point in the next week. In the meantime, Profar has been going through routine fielding drills – everything but relays and cutoffs – and expects to be ready by Opening Day.
• Ivan Rodriguez, a special assistant to GM Jon Daniels with multiple roles as an instructor and team ambassador, has made his annual visit to camp.
• Left-hander Martire Garcia is scheduled to pitch in Tuesday's 'B' game. He signed this off-season after spending five seasons in the Twins' organization from 2007-11 and most recently pitching in Japan.

Kashiwado Risuke (柏戸 利助 en japonés, nacido como Kawanami (川浪 en japonés) en 1783 en Goshogawara, Aomori, Japón; y fallecido el 27 de octubre de 1828 en Japón) fue un luchador de sumo japonés.

Carrera

Kashiwado nació en Aomori y fue a Edo en 1806, uniéndose a la Isenoumi beya. Se le dio el nombre de Kashiwado y trabajó bajo el Dominio de Hirosaki. Su rango más alto fue el de ōzeki. Ganó 16 torneos en makuuchi, pero su proporción de victorias en la división superior no fue tan alta en comparación con Tanikaze y Onogawa.

En junio de 1823, la familia Gojo otorgó licencias de yokozuna a Kashiwado y su rival Tamagaki, pero él rechazó la suya. Se ha dicho que la razón es que temía que esto pudiera causar conflictos con la familia Yoshida. Tamagaki también rechazó la licencia. Al año siguiente, Tamagaki murió repentinamente, y su muerte conmocionó a Kashiwado. En enero de 1825, Kashiwado perdió tres combates consecutivos y se retiró.

Kahiwado no fue ascendido a yokozuna, pero debido a que Yoshida Oikaze había escuchado sobre su caso, decidió emitir una licencia para Ōnomatsu en 1828, convirtiendo a Ōnomatsu en el primer yokozuna en 39 años.

ACWA Power wins first competitive procurement for wind power plant in Uzbekistan
ACWA Power has bid the lowest tariff for the construction and operation of a 100 MW wind power project in Uzbekistan, with a tariff of US$ 2.5695 cents per kilowatt hour.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) supported the tender by providing technical assistance.
The new plant, located in the Qoraoʻzak District, will diversify energy supply and increase energy security while delivering climate-neutral energy at an affordable price. The district is located in the Republic of Karakalpakstan, an autonomous republic within Uzbekistan, in the north west of the country.
ACWA Power is a global developer, investor and operator of power plants, with 64 assets in operation, construction or advanced development across 13 countries.
Aida Sitdikova, EBRD Director, Energy Eurasia, Middle East and Africa, said: "The tender is a landmark for Uzbekistan – the first competitively procured wind power plant in the country. The tariff achieved represents a major success for the country's power sector and shows what a combination of ambitious policy targets and proper competition can achieve."
The tender is part of the authorities' efforts to increase the share of renewable energy in the Uzbekistan's power-generation mix. The government has set itself an ambitious target of installing 5,000 MW of solar and 3,000 MW of wind energy by 2030. By achieving these targets, Uzbekistan will meet the objective of renewables accounting for more than a quarter of the country's power-generation capacity by 2030.
Alkis Vryenios Drakinos, EBRD Director, Head of Uzbekistan said: "The tender marks a number of firsts. Not only is it the first competitively procured wind power project in Uzbekistan, it is also the first renewable energy project to be procured under the new public-private partnership law. We are proud to support Uzbekistan in delivering on its ambitious goals for a greener and more sustainable energy sector."
The EBRD has been providing assistance to the Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Investment and Foreign Trade for the preparation and procurement of the project. This technical assistance was supported by donor funds from the government of Japan. The support for the 100 MW wind project is the first phase of a wider programme under which the Bank is supporting the government of Uzbekistan in developing wind power capacity across the country.
To date, the EBRD has invested almost €2.6 billion in 101 projects in Uzbekistan.

Would it be possible to move the 40 meter WSPR frequency a khz to two one way or the other so it wouldn't interfere with the recognized 7040 cw QRP freq? I don't see too many state side stations using that frequency and that might be the reason. I would like to try that band but don't want to create any interference with those that use it for cw qrp.


Judy, as usual, gets herself into trouble. She wants to save the world. And she starts at home. Unfortunately she upsets her mother, father, and little brother Stink in her first attempt. Second, she tries to do something at school, but she ends up angering her whole class. But that leads to the idea for Mr. Todd's class 3T to collect bottles to plant trees in the rainforest. The class works together and they achieve some amazing results. To find out what, pick up the book and give it a read.
This is another wonderful book in a great series. And while most of the books have lessons about learning who you are and becoming better at being, this one focuses outward and has a lesson we can all learn from. Great story in an amazing series.


Michigan International Speedway and Consumers Energy have expanded their relationship in a multi-year agreement to include the entitlement sponsorship of the August Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race. The race on Aug. 12 will be called the Consumers Energy 400.

These tasty crackers are so easy and so nutritious! They make the perfect mid-morning snack topped with your favourite toppings. I love avocado, ricotta and pepper.
1. Pre-heat the oven to 170 degrees celcius.
3. Place a piece of baking paper on a large baking tray and pour the seed mixture on top. Place another piece of baking paper on top of the mixture and use a rolling pin to roll out flat.
4. Remove the top layer of baking paper and bake the crackers in the oven for 45-60 minutes. If you prefer your crackers cut perfectly, remove from the oven after 30 minutes, cut them up and place them back in the oven until they become hard and crunchy.
This nutty bread is so delicious served with a little spread of butter and a hot cuppa for morning tea!
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and line 2 small loaf tins with baking paper.
4. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the eggs, 1/2 cup tahini, 1/2 cup maple syrup, lime zest, yoghurt, oil and vanilla.
5. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Stir gently with a wooden spoon until well combined.
6. Stir through the cooked apple.
8. Combine the extra tahini and maple syrup and drizzle over the top of the bread. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake in the oven for 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
9. To finish, Grate some extra lime zest over the top of the cooked bread.
6. To make the goats cheese mixture, add the goats cheese to a small bowl along with 1 teaspoon of the milk and the remaining thyme leaves. Whisk well with a fork until smooth and creamy.
7. Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl.
8. In a separate mixing bowl, add the eggs, EVOO and remaining milk. Whisk until well combined.
9. Make a well in the flour and add the egg mixture in the middle of the well. Gradually work the wet ingredients into the flour.
10. Add the roasted sweet potato, parsley and spinach and season with salt.
11. Place a teaspoon of mixture at the bottom of each muffin tray, then place a dollop of the goats cheese mix (about a teaspoon). Cover with the remaining muffin mix.
If your excuse for skipping breakfast is "I don't have time" then these little puddings are for you! They take 10 minutes to prep on a Sunday and you can grab one from the fridge in the morning and go!
Chis seeds are a wonderful source of protein, fibre and omega 3 fats so will set you up for the day!
They also make a great afternoon snack to help manage those sugar cravings either in the office or after dinner.
Try these savoury muffins in the kids' lunchboxes or as a mid-morning snack at work. Homemade snacks like these are a much healthier alternative to pre-packaged, convenience snacks like muesli bars - and they are WAY tastier!
This recipe could be used as a nourishing dessert to cure those evening chocolate cravings or as an afternoon snack to help prevent that trip to the cookie jar at work! Each serve has 4 g of protein and 4g of fibre which will help you to feel full. It also has less sugar than a fruit flavoured yoghurt - winning!
3. Place pistachios in the food processor and process until finely ground.
This banana bread is so much more nutritious than regular banana bread and it still tastes amazing! Using Greek yoghurt keeps the bread moist while increasing the protein and significantly reducing the saturated fat content as no butter is required. The added chia and linseeds increase the fibre, omega 3 fats, protein and help to lower the GI. This recipe is the perfect cure for 3.30-itis!
2. In a mixing bowl, add the mashed banana, eggs, yoghurt and vanilla and stir until well combined - don't worry, it's supposed to be lumpy!
3. In a separate bowl sift the flour and baking powder, then add the sugar, seeds and salt and combine. Make a well in the centre.
4. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Add blueberries.

One serve of these delicious cookies provides a great hit of protein and healthy fats so they make a perfect afternoon snack if you struggles with the yummy rumbles after work! One cookie has about 700kj (165cal) so make sure you only take the one if you're watching your weight.
1. Combine the peanut butter, honey, olive oil, chia seeds and cacao in a large mixing bowl. Let this mixture sit for 15-30 minutes so the chia seeds can absorb some of the moisture.
2. Add remaining dry ingredients and mix well.
3. Spoon onto a lined baking tray and top with some extra coconut flakes.
4. Bake in a moderate oven for 20 minutes.
The most common mistake people make when adding a smoothie to their diet is to make it WAY too calorie dense. Yes, smoothies can be very healthy, but they can also be quite high in total calories, sugars and fats.
Give this recipe a go for the perfect sized smoothie as a breakfast on the run or a snack to get you through the afternoon!
These gorgeous little treats are so quick and easy to make, yet they look so impressive (like you've spent hours painstakingly creating them) and will be sure to be a hit with both the adults and the kids on Christmas day!
3. Melt the chocolate in the microwave or on the stove over a double boiler. Dip the reindeer strawberries in the chocolate and place on a plate.

WHEN: Tuesday, January 24, 2017 at 1o a.m.
WHERE: The Stanley Works Center, New Britain Museum of American Art, 56 Lexington Street, New Britain, Conn.
WHO: The public and press is invited to attend. The scheduled speakers include Mayor Erin Stewart; Kim Villanti, Branding and Marketing Creative Leader; Timothy Stewart, President of the Greater New Britain Chamber of Commerce.
BACKGROUND: Over the last six months, Mayor Stewart and community stakeholders embarked on the task of creating a new logo and tagline for the City of New Britain, which is undergoing a transformation that hasn't been seen in decades. The logo is a nod to the City's past, but also a unique call to visitors and residents to experience all of the new developments and surprises taking place in New Britain.
"We are rewriting a new chapter in New Britain's history and it's time for us to share our successes and surprises with others," Mayor Stewart said.
Mayor Stewart and those who were involved in the branding and logo design process will be available at the press conference to answer questions.
The last time the City had a branding and marketing campaign was in the 1980's with the "New Britain is the place to Bee" slogan.

Q: VC++ builds for WAMP PHP upgrade Currently i have Php 5.3.13 on WAMP 2.2 and wish to upgrade php to next higher version. Also I've VS 2010 installed on my machine.  While installing wamp 2.2, i installed VC9. Will installing VC11 affect my existing visual studio components?
**Edit - Sorry, i missed it.  I'm doing dot net development and hence i've installed VS2010

A: You do not have to install the Visual Studio Suite. All that is required are the correct Visual Studio Version Runtime Libraries.
Do a google using "msvc runtime" as the search and you will get links to all the various versions of the Runtime Libraries. Its never a bad idea to have a complete set, as they are used by any software compiled with the MS Visual C/C++ compiler. If you are using a 64bit Windows then its also a good idea to download the 32bit and 64bit versions as of course Windows 64bit will also run Windows 32bit code.

    <emp emp_name="john">john_2.jpg</emp>
    <emp emp_name="john">john_3.jpg</emp>
    <emp emp_name="marry">marry_1.jpg</emp>
    <emp emp_name="marry">marry_2.jpg</emp>

</emp_detail>
</all_emp>

So, i was try, but in here i has problem:
function get_empimg() {
$url = 'https://...emp_test.xml';
$xml = simplexml_load_file("$url") or die("Error: Cannot create object");

</emp_detail>
</all_emp>
XML;

    $doc2 = new SimpleXMLElement($data2);

$document = new DOMDocument();
$document->loadXml($xml);
$xpath = new DOMXpath($document);

foreach ($xpath->evaluate('//emp[@emp_name="john"]/img') as $img) {
  var_dump($img->textContent);
}


On his deathbed, Jacob finally sees his children stand together.
It finally happens. With Parashat Vayechi, the saga of Jacob's tumultuous life comes to a close. This one-time-deceiver (Genesis 37), son of an almost sacrificed son and grandson of monotheism's founding father, this transformed man closes his eyes for the last time.
Our question: What wisdom might modern Jews gain from studying the end of Jacob's life?
First, a rapid review of Jacob's journey.
Even before his birth, the Torah describes Jacob as a wrestler, struggling with his brother within their mother's womb. This image typifies sibling dynamics throughout the Book of Genesis, where jealous siblings vie for the love and blessing of their father (as do Jacob's wives later in the story, perhaps subversively suggesting an early recognition that patriarchal hierarchy is systemically flawed and rife with conflict). The struggle continues as Jacob and his brother Esau grow, ultimately culminating in a tense scene in which Jacob, manipulated by his mother Rebecca, deceives his dying father Isaac in order to take the blessing rightfully belonging to Esau, the elder twin. Isaac's death scene is a moment of foreboding and anger, as Esau vows revenge for his brother's treachery. Not the healthiest of family narratives.
It is at the end of his father's life when Jacob emerges as a self for the first time, running for his life and from his brother. In fact, as biblical scholar Avivah Zornberg has suggested in her masterful book, Genesis: The Beginnings of Desire, Jacob's escape from his parents' home (perhaps a darker version of Abraham's original journey of self-differentiation) leads him to crash headlong into the Divine, dreaming of a ladder stretching heavenward and waking with a new sense of wonder, of surprise. And perhaps this gift, the ability to be surprised, to dream again, is worthy of consideration. What surprises you? In our frenetic-paced lives, can we make room for surprise? Or must we crash if we are to rediscover wonder?
But Jacob's moment of death stands out more than any other moment in his life. In contrast to of his father's goodbye, Jacob's death represents a profound shift in the mood of the Torah. Here, the patriarch sees his children stand together. The youngest has received the lion's share of blessing, not by tricking his siblings out of their shares. There is something in the flow of Jacob's final blessings to his children – to all of his children – that indicates a new breed of sibling, a new kind of relationship, one that could very well transform and heal our broken world. Each brother receives a blessing. There is enough blessing to go around.
Genesis begins with sibling rivalry, a jealousy that threatens to end the experiment of humanity before it even begins. Genesis ends with a father blessing all of his children. Yes, this is not the end the story but we, the descendants of Jacob, literally the children of Israel (Jacob's other name) might learn more from the end of Jacob's life than his beginning.
We are God-wrestlers, that is true. But we can also choose to bless each other with an abundant love.
The father of the children of Israel.

Any change takes courage. To be truly satisfied throughout your work life, your career needs to change and grow with you. The job you are most attracted to may change throughout your life. Personalized career coaching exercises will assist you to explore your passions and values and recognize your strengths and skills. Once you have those, you will apply strategies for determining your desired career.
It's Sunday night and once again you find yourself dreading the upcoming start of the workweek. You know your company is all wrong for you, but you're not sure if there's anything better out there. At the time you accepted it'd sounded like a good offer, but now you're stuck in a position you hate.
Even though you're not happy, you're hesitating to actually do something about it, because — let's admit it — leaving a secure job is scary. Instead of taking a leap, maybe you'll just wait it out: Something else will come along soon, right?
Change doesn't happen overnight. Even if you're ready to make a move, job searches can drag on (and on!). Don't give up if it's taking months instead of weeks.
Or, it could be that the delay is on your end. You might need to stay put until you shore up your savings, or resolve something in your personal life, or maybe even just figure out what exactly the next move will be.
But that doesn't mean you have to stagnate. By just identifying the steps you'll need to take eventually, it'll be easier for you to continue in your current job. After all, you'll know that you are working on your escape plan.
I had a client who had taken a job she thought she'd love, in part because it paid more money. She was enticed with a bonus to move her family, and once she realized she hated that job, she felt stuck. She feared that if she quit the job she would be telling her family she asked them to move for no reason. But by having a conversation with them and finding out they were happy in their new environment, she felt better prepared to tackle the issues with her career. Eventually, she was able to get over her sense of failure and simply look for a new job in her current city.
The lesson here is if you're feeling stuck based upon the opinions you think others have about your career, open a dialogue. You might find that your spouse, children, parents, or whomever else are more supportive than you give them credit for.
And even if they're not 100% on board? Keep in mind that it's your career: You shouldn't stay in a job you hate forever just to make someone else happy. So be honest about what it is you want. Then, let everyone know you intend to do something about it.
Is it really necessary to obtain another degree or certification? (Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.) Before signing up for a new class, review job descriptions for the position you want. Look at the education and skills section to determine general industry requirements, as well as specific employer requirements.
Schedule a few informational interviews to talk to professionals in the industry and specifically within companies where you might eventually want to work. It'll give you insight into true salaries, actual job requirements, skills that are valued, and any barriers to entry you're unaware of.
What did you discover in your research? Whatever it is, start to put into into action—whether it's signing up for a class to gain a very-needed skill, or buying a book you learned everyone in your position needs to read, or just figuring out which of your past experience are transferable and how exactly to position them on your resume.
Worried that your research led you to the conclusion that you need way more experience than you can ever get without starting at the bottom? That's no reason to give up. You have a lot of options, but one that's commonly overlooked is volunteering. It's a great way to give back while moving your career forward. Really, it's a win-win situation! You'll get to showcase different abilities on your resume and a deserving organization will gain some free labor.
By working with a volunteer organization, you can test drive the skills needed for your new career. Need to brush up on your marketing skills? Want to keep your accounting experience sharp? Love event planning, but you're chained to your desk in your current role? Look for a nonprofit in need of someone to pitch in in those areas.
Going back to number one, you don't need to do this all right now, today. But, at some point, you do need to start. Because you spend way too much time at your job to be unhappy. So, instead of just hating it and hoping something will change, start planning your escape now. Your future self will thank you.
