If you decide to just use an image as your HTC EVO 4G wallpaper, you going to need an image to set. One way to get some good images is to simply take them yourself. Open the camera program by tapping on its icon, either from the home screen, or by tapping the arrow in the bottom left, which brings up all programs, and opening the camera from there.

Wireless Page to TV magnifier helps the myopic read on their HDTV
By John Brownlee 01.25.2010 :: 4:58AM EDT 01.25.2010
Although he died a couple of years ago, my nonagenarian grandfather was a great source of inspiration to me when he was alive. My grandfather cared for my invalid grandmother while she was alive, despite a menagerie of his own health complaints, including two blown-out hips, deafness and, worst of all, such severe myopia that he was almost blind.
The way he handled his blindness was simply awesome: he had a very expensive magnification machine that would blow up a single line of text to two or three feet in height. He would read everything — from crosswords to the instructions on a pack of frozen peas &mdash with this machine, but it was pricy: it costs a couple of thousand dollars.
I wish he was still alive to see this little gadget: the Wireless Page to TV magnifier. It's the size and shape of a computer mouse: you simply sweep it across a line of text and it magnifies them, beaming them to your television set in real-time. It magnifies a single line of text up to 25 times thanks to a bright, 655 x 488 pixel handheld scanner. Its a niche product for the myopic and elderly, sure, but Coupled with an HDTV, this would have saved my grandfather a couple of thousand dollars: it only costs $149.95. Even my grandfather — something of a Luddite, it must be admitted — would have been impressed by this example of the incessant forward march of miniaturization.

Aliens Abducted My Parents Finds Companionship in the Loneliness
Image: Visit Films
Movies often use alien abductions to set up the extraterrestrial danger to come. In the aftermath of those abductions, the witness or person left behind is often portrayed as an outcast who may or may not be fully right; it's a well-worn trope, but when it works, it works.
The trailer for the new indie movie Aliens Abducted My Parents and Now I Kinda Feel Left Out hits those same notes, but through a YA lens. In it, aspiring journalist Itsy Levan (Emma Tremblay) moves into town and meets her new neighbor, Calvin Kipler (Jacob Buster). Calvin claims both of his parents were taken by aliens when he was young and since spent years looking for a way to find them. Itsy soon gets involved in his quest for answers, mostly because she thinks that studying him will lead to a worthwhile story that gets her into college. But you know how it goes: once you get start spending time with someone for not entirely truthful reasons, you can't help but form some kind of connection, can you?
Aliens Abducted My Parents And Now I Feel Kinda Left Out | Trailer (2023 | Visit Films
"Although set in the 2020's, [the movie] is somewhat of a throwback in storytelling," wrote Jake van Wagoner in a press release. "I want to lean into that classic Spielbergian style of filmmaking…Aliens is really an homage to the movies that made me want to be a filmmaker." Whether or not there actually are aliens in the movie itself, it looks like a touching enough watch regardless, and a reported 87 minutes, it'll be just enough time to get invested in what's going on.
Also featuring Will Forte and Elizabeth Mitchell, Aliens Abducted My Parents and Now I Kinda Feel Left Out is currently screening at Sundance Film Festival, and its red carpet premiere will be tonight.

AIDS – LAST DAYS
Freddie's Kensington home in London, Garden Lodge:
Mercury wanted his illness to be kept a secret. Only friends and people he thoroughly trusted were told, such as the band, his family, his personal assistants and friends, because he wanted to protect them from the immense pressure from the media. Furthermore, he did not want any pity and had to be treated normally. Everybody denied the fact that he had AIDS until 24 hours before his death, when Mercury has officially announced it.
Brian May: "As soon we realised Freddie was ill, we clustered around him like a protective shell. We were lying to everyone, even our own families, because he didn't want the world intruding on his struggle. He used to say, 'I don't want people buying our f***ing records out of sympathy.' We all became very close. We grew up a lot."
By the end of his life Mercury produced some of his best work since his early days and the legendary album "A Night At The Opera".
Roger Taylor: "It was tragic that that terrible bloody disease should break up Freddie's career, because he was improving and improving as a singer and performer. It was just a terrible shame. He felt that he couldn't deliver what was expected of him. I miss him tremendously."
In the last few years and months of his life, he was working until it was not possible for him. While working, he still had an incredible commitment to perfection; he continued to write music until his death. Before Freddie became too weak to travel, he decided he wanted to make one more visit to the new flat he had bought in Montreux, Switzerland, with its magnificent views of the lake Montreux and surrounding snow-capped mountains. Queen also had their own recording studios in Montreux and, realizing that he did not have enough time to live, Freddie wanted to try to record as many new songs as he could to leave behind for his fans.
Several unfinished tracks were completed by surviving members for the 1995 posthumous album "Made In Heaven".
On November 23 in 1991, Mercury finally announced that he had AIDS. The next day he died peacefully at his home in London surrounded by friends and family of AIDS related bronchial pneumonia.
Freddie Mercury was given a Zoroastrian burial and was cremated.
After Mercury's will was published, a friend of his revealed: "He did an awful lot of things in secret for charities. He was a very generous guy; he just didn't like to show off about his charity work."
Mary Austin made known that the singer had given away millions before he died to help a number of AIDS charities. She has admitted: "It was something he kept quiet about. Freddie was always very committed to the AIDS cause and to the people who suffered from the disease the way he did."
+++ my personal Freddie Mercury special: Freddie's house 'today' (July/August 2006) +++
I was in London for a week in July/August 2006 to go sightseeing and to visit all the places related to Queen and Freddie Mercury. The place which interested me most was Freddie's house. The wall has 'grown' probably twice since the pass away of its previous resident; so from the street it is nearly impossible to see anything – just the top of the house. Luckily the building which is situated on the left side from Freddie's home is in the state of renovation and a really nice guy who works there has allowed me to go at the top of the building to have a better view on Freddie's home (Thank you very much again!!!). In that way I've played Sherlock Holmes and zoomed in my camera right to the 'most visible' windows, because I was so curious to know what was happening inside… so here you can see the result of my little expeditionJ:
The front sight of Freddie's house:
Side view from the top of another house and detail views of the two most visible windows: P.S. I did not intend to hurt anyone's private sphere! I deeply apologize if it seems so!
On the second pic you can see the street where Freddie's house is situated; just walk straight ahead; Freddie's home is on the left side.

Q: "Share via Twiiter" posting to developer account instead of prompting for login In my application I want to implement "share via Twitter" functionality where in user will login to twitter(if not already logged in) and then can share their tweet. With the following code that I got from the internet, I am able to post a tweet from my app but it is never asking to login. Instead it is posting a tweet to the account from where I created consumer key and secret key.
Can any one please guide me where am I going wrong?
ConfigurationBuilder configurationBuilder = new ConfigurationBuilder();
configurationBuilder.setOAuthConsumerKey(twitter_consumer_key);
configurationBuilder.setOAuthConsumerSecret(twitter_secret_key);

String CALLBACK_URI = "http://www.google.com";
String ACCESS_TOKEN = "***************";
String ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = "****************";
AccessToken ac = new AccessToken(ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET);
Log.d("robin", "caught");
// Configuration configuration = configurationBuilder.build();

Twitter twitter = new TwitterFactory().getInstance();
twitter.setOAuthConsumer(twitter_consumer_key, twitter_secret_key);
twitter.setOAuthAccessToken(ac);
Log.d("sayfsdem", "caught");

try {
    twitter4j.Status status = twitter.updateStatus(tweetText);
    Log.d("status", status.toString());
} catch (TwitterException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    Log.d("final", "caught");
    e.printStackTrace();
}

try {
    Log.d("userName", twitter.getScreenName());
    // Log.d("password",twitter.getFavorites()());
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
    Log.d("illesayem", "caught");
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (TwitterException e) {
    Log.d("fdfds", "caught");
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}

A: Look at this code it will be usefull for you to send image in twitter
http://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-send-image-to-twitpic-from-android/

A: You should not hardcode the ACCESS_TOKEN and ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET in your code as the values are the credentials for your own account. Instead, when the user open your app for the first time, you should ask them to login, save the access token and the token secret returned by the login page, and use them in subsequent Twitter API calls.

Branching process of two linseed cultivars ('Hungarian Gold' and 'Opal') was analysed each year of vegetation between 1999 and 2002 characterised by different weather course. The estimation included also the extent and variability of selected morphological traits and structural traits. as well as correlation between them. On the basis of biometric measurements the hierarchy of plant shoots has been established within a plant, and four plant groups were distinguished: 1-. 2-, 3- and 4-shoot plants. It was demonstrated that the intensity of linseed branching depended mainly on young plant planting density and, to a certain extent also the weather conditions in April and May. In the years when the weather course favoured vegetation. between 23 and 40% plants per stand were branched. Beside increasing its productivity linseed branching may also inhibit a development of secondary weed infestation of the canopy. Similar plant groups with analogous shoot hierarchy formed in both linseed cultivars. Bio social position of shoot on a plant determined the extent of its traits. A dominance of the maiii shoot over lateral shoots was marked, especially concerning the number of seed vessels. Particularly big prevalence of the main shoot over lateral ones was visible in 3- and 4-shoot plants. Lateral shoots had greater variability of morphological traits, especially concerning the number of seed vessels per shoot. Linear, exponential and power interdependencies between traits of linseed cultivars were also revealed.

The Space Between the Stars by Anne Corlett
posted in Reviews	on June 17, 2017 by	Kevin Holtsberry
I was intrigued by The Space Between the Stars mostly because of the interesting concept/hook: virus threatens human existence so how do the few survivors react, order and civilization versus utopia and anarchy, etc. After reading it, I felt it had some promise but plenty of weaknesses. For example, I felt like the lead character was prickly and angst ridden to the point of annoyance. On the other hand, give Corlett credit for creating a character whose personality and backstory are consistent and likely realistic. I also felt like the faith/religious element was odd, nebulous and hard to follow.
It was interesting enough that I kept reading but just didn't quite grab me. Perhaps it is not quite my genre; a little too much romance and family drama for my tastes. Plus. lots of interesting philosophical questions bouncing around but not a lot of answers and at the expense of the plot and character development.
A few critics had very different reactions as well.
Marilyn Dahl at Shelf Awareness was full of praise:
Anne Corlett has taken the themes of apocalypse, people attempting to create Utopia but unleashing Armageddon, population engineering and breeding programs, and put her particular stamp on the familiar. The Space Between the Stars is a sci-fi story laced with homey details like e-readers and jigsaw puzzles–there are no esoteric descriptions of warp drives or biodomes or aliens. But there is adventure, there is romance, there is self-discovery. Jamie looks at a blue sky, which "felt like a lie, after so much time spent up above it, in the black of space. It was just something to hide beneath, to avoid seeing how wrenched and scattered among the stars they all really were." But she finds, in this intriguing and wise story, what can fill the space between the stars.
Kirkus? Uh, not so much:
In the hands of someone with more literary skill, this story could have been something akin to Station Eleven in space, but it isn't even close. The prose is insipid, with some eye-rollingly trite sentences, such as, "Home's what's left over when you've figured out all the places you don't want to be." Protagonist Jamie is staggeringly unlikable. For instance, she bemoans a past miscarriage, then reveals she abhorred her unborn child. Further flashbacks reveal that she'd only gotten pregnant because Daniel—the same man she's desperately seeking—wanted a child. Worse, there's virtually no science in this science fiction. The aforementioned virus, which inexplicably turns human bodies into dust, laughably calls to mind Daffy Duck being disintegrated by Marvin the Martian—although the science fiction of Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century is arguably better than anything here. The worldbuilding is dropped into the story in steaming piles of infodump that raise more questions than they answer. And after Jamie uncovers the absurdly obvious origins of the deadly virus (which had been telegraphed from the very beginning), the entire story is tied up in a big, banal bow.
Terrible science and even worse fiction.
I didn't love it like Shelf Awareness but I didn't hate it quite like Kirkus. To me it didn't live up to its promise but get some credit for the concept.

T-60 byl sovětský lehký tank produkovaný v letech 1941–1942. Celkem bylo vyrobeno asi 6 728 těchto strojů. Jako průzkumný stroj mohl být relativně dobrý, byl však nasazován spolu s tanky T-34 do bojů proti německým tankům, na které nestačil pancéřováním ani výzbrojí (kanon ráže 20 mm). Navíc neměl zrovna ideální jízdní vlastnosti pro těžký terén a chyběla mu vysílačka. Těžké ztráty v bojích s německými tanky mu přinesly přezdívku "společný hrob pro dva" ().

Verze
 T-60 Model 1941– standardní sériová verze, čelní pancíř 25 mm a paprsková pojezdová kola
 T-60 Model 1942 – měl zesílený čelní pancíř na 35 mm a plná pojezdová kola
 BM-8-24 – samohybný raketomet. Věž byla sejmuta a na její místo dán raketomet. Označení znamená: Broněbojnaja mašina (obrněné vozidlo) na rakety M-8, odpalovací zařízení pro 24 raket.
 Antonov A-40 – tank-kluzák, na T-60 se připevnily ocasní a křídelní plochy, aby mohl být vlečen za letadly
 T-60Z – prototyp protiletadlového děla na podvozku T-60
 TACAM T-60 – rumunský stíhač tanků vyzbrojený kanónem F-22
 T-70 – další typ, 45mm kanón

In response to Steve's blog entry here, I would like to set several facts straight. I was not offended by the offer of a roast, and I find the idea quite tasty, although I do believe I was promised a chicken based roast originally. Secondly, I was drinking lemonade and water all last night, so I was perfectly sober and remember everything that was said in great detail. This was apart from the two blue WKDs which I downed accidentally thinking they were blue bubblegum flavour drink (a bit careless, I know). My only concern is that I have already almost choked to death on cheese balls once this week, so don't want to push my luck.

The purpose of this trial is to study fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)-based dose escalation using intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).
The dose escalation, based on the FDG-PET signal, is incorporated in the first ten fractions of the radiotherapeutic treatment. The total amount of fractions is 32, equal to a standard radiotherapeutic treatment for these types of cancers.
Experimental: Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Procedure: FDG-PET-based dose escalation using intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).

Are workers to blame for slow hiring?
By Alana Semuels
It's a common refrain in this economy: American workers are undereducated, unmotivated and probably even on drugs. Companies use the decline of the American worker as a common reason for not filling jobs, saying they would hire, if they could find the right worker.
"I would hire people and train them if they could pass the drug test," said Keith Mosing, the president of Houston-based Frank's International, in an interview about a lack of available workers in Louisiana. "But we're having a lot of difficulty finding people in the U.S."
But slow hiring isn't a result of any sort of irreconcilable skills shortage in the U.S. workforce, says Wharton professor Peter Cappelli in his new book, "Why Good People Can't Get Jobs," due out Friday.
"There's a bashing-the-victim feel to all of this," Cappelli said in an interview. Employers "have assumptions and assertions about how the labor market works that simply aren't true."
Problem is, employers are using software to screen applicants, making it nearly impossible for anyone to get through; they're requiring candidates with a perfect match of experiences, rather than training them on the job; they've decimated their HR departments and are keeping any human aspect of hiring out of the picture.
The U.S. ranks seventh among 39 developed countries when measured by the frequency of employers complaining they can't fill a job, Cappelli says, right behind Romania. But when one Philadelphia-area executive applied anonymously to a job in his own company, he didn't make it through the screening process.
Employers want to keep looking for the perfect candidate, ignoring the productivity losses their company suffers when they leave a position unfilled. One headhunter was helping a food company find a marketing employee -- but they insisted they find someone with experience in the green olive business, rather than the black olive business, Cappelli said.
"Its not crazy to be picky, but the thing that doesn't make sense is to say we're just not going to hire anybody," he said.
Education isn't the problem either, Cappelli says. U.S. student performance has improved since the 1970s, and dropout rates fell by half in low-income communities from 1972 to 2009. Surveys show that managers complain more about applicants' lack of self-management skills than they do about their lack of education.
Cappelli's own son received a bachelor's degree in the classics, and, unable to find a job, decided to go to a community college to get a certificate in the supposedly hot healthcare field. He still couldn't find a job, though, partly because employers only wanted applicants with experience.
But employers aren't willing to train employees anymore, partly because people switch jobs so much that they don't want to lose their investments. In 1979, young workers received, on average, 2.5 weeks of training a year. Now, only 21% of employees surveyed say that have received any training over the last five years.
The solution, Cappelli says, is to persuade employers to return to in-house training programs, and for the public and private sectors to work together in developing training programs in which students can get experience with companies. Apprenticeship programs could also help.
But most of all, in an economy where employers are automating more and more positions, it appears that human resources is one profession that can't be replaced entirely by machines.

David Perron on Road to Recovery
By David Rogers September 26th, 2011
The St. Louis Blues held a press conference on Monday, September 26 to announce that David Perron is rejoining the team. Perron has been sidelined since November of 2010 with post-concussion syndrome that has kept him out of hockey for nearly an entire year. The talented young forward has been doing some workouts and light skating for the past few weeks but now will be cleared to start pushing things forward.
To be clear, the road to recovery is still a long one for Perron. He hasn't practiced with his team nor done any serious hockey activity since the injury occurred. Just recently he's been allowed to begin skating again but it remains to be seen how his body will hold up under a more intensive practice, let alone how it might hold up in a real game.
Currently, it's still impossible to put a timetable on his return. After nearly a year of slow to almost no improvement, Perron is finally taking some steps forward but no one can safely guess how things will go once he starts pushing himself a bit further. You can bet that the team will be cautious in how they bring Perron back up to speed.
This is some pretty positive news for fans of the Blues. For the most part, fans have been preparing for the worst while hoping for the best. Granted that Perron's recovery still has a long road ahead of it, one that could still have twists and turns, fans now are imagining a roster that could feature Perron at some stage in 2011-12.
This news also is extremely positive for the neutral NHL fan that has been surrounded with mixed news from other post-concussion cases. In Boston, Marc Savard might have skated in his last NHL game due to a similar injury. In Pittsburgh, Sidney Crosby is in roughly the same place as Perron in his road to recovery and has yet to have any issues when practicing. Still Crosby, like Perron, has yet to face any contact – the true test to see how the recovery will hold up.
Perron's news is beyond encouraging. For months, his recovery was stagnant. Now there is at least progress moving forward which is a major positive given how fickle this specific type of injury can be. Perron and the club must now move ahead slowly and cautiously to make sure Perron doesn't suffer any unneeded setbacks. With a little luck, Perron will continue to progress and might play a significant role in the 2011-12 season.

How to Create Standard Deviation Graph in Excel
Last Updated April 3, 2022 by Michelle Craft
This article is an elaboration on the meaning of standard deviation graph or bell curve, its advantages, uses, creation and design in Microsoft Excel.
Standard Deviation Graphs
Steps involved in generating a Standard Deviation Graph in Microsoft Excel
A standard deviation graph is a graphical presentation that illustrates the distribution of categorical data with regards to standard deviation. It is also familiar by the name 'bell curve', as its structure resembles a bell and its associated curve portrays the data spread.
It has been noticed that the change in the distribution of data across the graph alters the smoothness of the curve. To initiate the creation of this graph, one needs to garner an understanding of standard deviation, how it is measured and what it is likely to project.
Standard Deviation (SD) is one of the most vital statistical parameters that tells how a set of data is dispersed mainly around the mean and average of all the values in that data set.
In simpler terms, this key parameter gives an idea of how far or close is a data value from the mean and average. It is measured with the help of the mean value corresponding to the data set whose SD needs to be determined.
Standard Deviation graphs are extensively adopted across corporate organizations, educational institutes and some other establishments to track the performance of the employees and students as these charts give a precise understanding of their level of progress.
While there a lot of options available from an array of tools and applications, Microsoft Excel has been the most sought after and predominately used platform to curate the standard deviation or say the bell curve.
MS Excel is a multi-tasking spreadsheet application, excessively employed by a million users from across the world that range from business professionals to starters, students to the teaching staff, bank staff and so on.
The data compilation reports obtained from this application can be regarded as important assets for a business. Also, the software can be addressed as an efficient chart maker as it offers the creation and customization of over dozens of graphs that are used to cater to various analysis purposes.
The Excel application is also configured and enriched with an optimum number of inbuilt formulas and functions, making it of ultimate importance and use for statistical operations.
To create a standard deviation or a bell curve chart in MS Excel, let us take into consideration the scores obtained by a group of students in a test. The final graph derived at the end of the procedure will give an understanding pertaining to the performance level of the students and their shortcomings.
We have with us the scores garnered by 25 students in an English examination that was worth a total of 100 marks. The foremost thing would be to enter these values in the spreadsheet specifically in a tabular form for a better arrangement of the data values as shown below.
Post the values are entered in the spreadsheet, it is essential to determine the value for the mean i.e. the average and the Standard Deviation value for the available data.
These values are crafted by using the inbuilt functions offered by the application. More precisely, we use AVERAGE to calculate the mean value as illustrated below.
To estimate the Standard Deviation, Excel is configured with 2 options, one based for a sample set in a lot and the other for the entire data.
Here, as we are considering the scores of only 25 students in a class with a 70+ strength, the standard deviation value will be calculated with the help of the function STDEV.S i.e. the one for the sample of students.
Following the estimations above, the most important step is the derivation of the normal distribution data for every score jotted down in the spreadsheet.
This value is obtained by using the inbuilt function, NORM.DIST from the list of formulas provided in the application. Firstly, arrange the scores in the increasing order of their values using the Sort & Filter option for ease in finding the distribution.
The Normal Distribution function employs the value of the mean and standard deviation and is represented as follows:
NORM.DIST(x, mean, standard_dev, cumulative)
Here, x is the score whose distribution is to be determined and the cumulative parameter is true in case of an ascending graph or false otherwise. As we do not need a unidirectional increasing curve, we will choose false. This can be illustrated in the snapshot below.
Once done finding the value for the first score, copy the function for all the scores till you get the distribution values up to the 25th score.
The values obtained in the process above can be modified for decimals through the option present in the menu bar. Once we get hold of the accurate data values, it now time to represent them in a graphical structure.
For this, select the score and distribution column and click on the insert option on the bar and navigate to the charts. From the options provided, choose the Scatter chart to represent the bell curve on the workspace.
The final task would be to customize the chart for enhancement of text and color fonts, as well as chart and axis titles. The graph can also be personalized with a change in the color, layout and various data elements like gridlines, error bars and legends. The final graph derived post the beautification in this instance appears as in the picture below.
Rendering a brief overview of the versatility of the standard deviation graph and its creation in MS Excel, it is needless to say that the application is the most opted tool for generating the graph.
The inbuilt functions integrated into this tool make it extremely effective for use to save a lot of time and yield accurate results.
Hence, employing the Excel application to curate the standard deviation graph, or say bell curve to depict the normal distribution can be rightfully endorsed for adoption across the various and diverse comparative analysis.

Sanctions on RAB won't be lifted without concrete action: Peter Haas
Diplomatic Correspondent
Published: 24 Apr 2022, 16: 44
US ambassador to Bangladesh Peter Haas on Sunday said US sanctions on Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) would not be lifted if concrete action was are not taken and accountability not ensured.
"There is no scope for repeal of sanctions against the Rapid Action Battalion without concrete action and accountability. We want to see a RAB that remains effective at combatting terrorism, but that does so while respecting basic human rights," Peter Haas said while speaking at a seminar.
Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies (BIISS) organised the seminar on "Bangladesh and the United States Relations: Moving towards Enhanced Cooperation and Partnership" at the BIISS auditorium.
The United States imposed sanctions on RAB and its six current and former officials on the allegation of gross violation of human rights last December. Bangladesh has been requesting the US authorities lift the sanctions since then.
The US envoy, however, said that the RAB sanctions do not mean the two countries cannot enhance security cooperation.
"We will continue to work with Bangladesh to combat transnational crime and terrorism, enhance border security, and prevent violent extremism. We continue our support to Counterterrorism and Transnational Crime police, the Anti-Terrorism Unit, and the specialised units of the Metropolitan Police in Chattogram, Sylhet, and Rajshahi," he added.
US not to take any side in next election
Regarding the next general election due to be held at the end of 2023, the US ambassador said his country would not take any side during the election.
"Let me be clear, the United States will not pick a side in the upcoming elections. We simply hope for a democratic process that allows the Bangladeshi people to freely decide who will run their country."
Stating that US and Bangladesh can work together to promote democracy and protect human rights, the ambassador said he is pleased that the foreign minister of Bangladesh AK Abul Momen has stated that Bangladesh will welcome international observers during the next election.
"Holding an election consistent with international standards is not just about the day votes are actually cast. In effect, the elections have already started. Truly democratic elections require the space for civic discourse to take place, an environment where journalists can investigate without fear, and the ability for civil society organizations to advocate broadly," the US ambassador said.
Regarding the shortcomings of democracy in the US, Peter Haas said, "The United States is not perfect. We have embarked on our own democratic renewal. This journey includes tackling our own issues with police accountability and ensuring all Americans can cast their ballots on Election Day. And we are inviting countries around the world to make similar commitments to strengthen their democracies."
The US ambassador also welcomed the law minister's commitment to reform the Digital Security Act to prevent further abuses of the law.
He also talked about two proposed agreements - General Security of Military Information Agreement (GSOMIA) and Acquisition and Cross Servicing Agreement (ACSA).
Speaking at the seminar as chief guest, AK Abdul Momen, MP, noted that the US has been an important partner in Bangladesh's journey towards development.
He thanked the Biden administration for voting in support of the UNGA Resolution on "Situation of human rights of Rohingya Muslims and other minorities in Myanmar" as well as for the recent recognition of the persecution on Rohingya as Genocide.
Noting that the Indo-Pacific Strategy is one of the key initiatives in Asia and the Pacific, he hoped that Bangladesh and the USA will work together to make this region a peaceful one and create a conducive environment that will bring benefits for all countries.
Chaired by BIISS chairman ambassador Kazi Imtiaz Hossain, director general of BIISS major general Mohammad Maksudur Rahman delivered the welcome address at the seminar.
Professor Ruksana Kibria of International Relations department of University of Dhaka, former Election Commissioner brigadier general (Retd.) M Sakhawat Hossain, ambassador Humayun Kabir, president of Bangladesh Enterprise Institute (BEI), ambassador Tariq A Karim, director of Center for Bay of Bengal Studies, Independent University Bangladesh, among others spoke at the seminar.

Are the golden wreath, the bracelets with griffins and the torque, seized during an action of the prosecutor, General Directorate for fight with organized crime and State Agency for National Security, genuine? This become one of the most discussed topics in our country these days, after the media announced the capture of a criminal group trying to sell the wreath for two million euros. The assumption that gold objects may be fake, appeared after one of the accused claimed, that he had produced and aged them himself, in order to look authentic.
It is obvious, that answering that question would be a key moment in the court hearings. But it is also important for the Bulgarian society as a whole – because of the scale of treasure hunting in Bulgaria, which is systematically destroying the material traces of our past. Creating an intolerance to this kind of criminal activity is also a cause of the team of Archaeologia Bulgarica – therefore we will also monitor this case.
What do we know so far about the objects with a total weight of about 1500 g? There is still no clear conclusion yet, more metal and manufacturing techniques expertise will follow. But according to the initial survey of the scientists – archaeologists and museum laboratory specialists, these are most likely early-Hellenistic rulers' symbols, harvested in illegal excavations. They are supposed to be found in a tomb of a Thracian dynast, buried in today's southeastern Bulgaria about BC 300. The stylistic analysis of the gold items points on Persian influence, which can be explained – it is possible that the Thracian aristocrat participated in the campaign of Alexander the Great against Persia. According to Diodorus Siculus, confirmed also by other sources, many Thracians participated in his army which departed in the spring of 334 BC. against Darius III.
Unfortunately, even the authenticity of the golden oak wreath and the other artifacts can be clearly demonstrated, part of the information contained in them, will be lost irrevocably because of someone's greed. But, undoubtedly, every victory in the battle with the treasure hunting deserves admiration. That is why on 6th of November 2018 at the National Archaeological Museum in Sofia an exhibition "The Saved Treasures of Bulgaria" will be opened. It is initiated by the National Archaeological Institute with Museum at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, supported by the Ministry of Interior, by the Ministry of Culture and 18 other museums all over the country. The exhibition will show more than 300 selected archaeological finds from the second half of the 5th millenium BC to the 18th C AD, illegally harvested and seized by the Bulgarian police for the last 20 years. A richly illustrated catalog of valuable artifacts will be published.

Avatar hurts as Locker cleans up at the Oscars
March 8, 2010 Husam "Sam" Asi Leave a comment
Kathryn Bigelow has become the first woman to win the Best Director Oscar – beating her ex-husband James Cameron – as her low budget film The Hurt Locker beat his – the most expensive film of all time, Avatar – to the Best Picture honour.
The Hurt Locker – about an American bomb disposal squad in Baghdad in 2002 – picked up six Oscars from its nine nominations – including Editing, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing and Original Screenplay.
Avatar went away with just three prizes – for Art Direction, Visual Effects and Cinematography.
The next biggest winners of the night were Crazy Heart, Precious and Up.
Crazy Heart won Best Leading Actor, for Jeff Bridges, and Best Original Song for its theme, The Weary Kind, by Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett.
Precious won Best Supporting Actress, for Mo'Nique and Best Adapted Screenplay (Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire).
Up was the voted the Best Animated Feature as well as collected the Best Score prize.
Sandra Bullock fought off competition from Meryl Streep – as well as Brits Carey Mulligan and Dame Helen Mirren – to take the Best Leading Actress Oscar for The Blind Side.
The most well sign-posted award of the night was the first to be handed out – the Best Supporting Actor Oscar went to Christoph Waltz for playing the Jew Hunter in Inglourious Basterds – the film's only win from eight nominations.
One of the few surprises of the night was in the Foreign Language competition. The Oscar went not to the Cannes winner, Germany's The White Ribbon or France's A Prophet, which won the BAFTA and the inaugural London Star award at the London Film Festival – but to Argentina's The Secret In Their Eyes.
The Best Animated Short Film went to France's Logorama, beating Britain's Nick Park's A Matter of Loaf and Death.

Many people travel during the holidays, by airplane, train, and car. Given the fact there are so many more people on the roads during this time of year, it is no wonder the rate of accidents is much, much higher from November through February. There are many different factors that result in car accidents, from inclement weather conditions and distracted drivers to those who drive under the influence of drugs and alcohol. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states that 90 percent of holiday travelers will be doing so by car this year – and the average driver will be going around 260 miles round-trip.
Traveling during the holidays is a headache in itself, let alone when we factor in all of the things that can go wrong. Congested roadways, more road rage, and rushed schedules make driving during this time of year much riskier than it needs to be. In order to help minimize the likelihood of an accident during the holiday season, we thought it would be helpful to go over a few handy tips to prepare you for what's to come. We want you and your loved ones to get to your destination as safely as possible, especially during the holidays. Remember, safety on the roadways starts with you, so it is of the utmost importance that you take the following tips into consideration in order to ensure you and your loved ones get to your holiday festivities safely this year.
Get your vehicle ready – Before you hit the road, make sure your car or truck is ready to go. This means getting the oil and filters changed, making sure you have jumper cables in the trunk, inspecting your vehicle for any tire damage and making sure they are properly inflated, replacing any worn windshield wipers, and topping off all fluids.
Plan your route – Before you jump in the car, take a look at Google maps and make sure the roadways are clear. Depending on where you live, weather may be a factor that you should consider. Have your route planned as best you can, and also have a backup in place in case of any road closures or construction.
Check the weather – Again depending on where you live, check the weather to see if any rain or snow is expected. If so, you may want to leave a little early so you aren't rushing to your destination.
Take it slow – One of the biggest mistakes people make when traveling during the holidays is going too fast. In fact, speed is a leading cause of auto accidents this time of year. Plan ahead, take your time, and don't try to rush to your destination. Chances are you will encounter other drivers who have the pedal to the metal, so simply move to the right lane and let them go on their merry way.
Be on alert – As mentioned above, you are likely to witness other drivers who are in a rush and driving dangerously. With this in mind, make sure you are on alert and prepared for other motorists to make mistakes. Be as responsive as you can and try not to give into road rage.
Stay safe out there this holiday season. If you happen to find yourself the victim of a car accident, please do not hesitate to contact the attorneys at Rad Law Firm.


Anxiety is becoming more prevalent, and so is living with someone who is anxious. No one feels the desire to help - and the strain on the relationship - more acutely than the spouse of the anxious one. Part 1 of this series talks about how to help the anxious person - take a look here if you haven't yet. But today I'm focused on YOU - the partner of someone struggling with anxiety.
We're having a hard time. Is this normal?
It is important to extend compassion to your spouse AND to yourself.
You may find it difficult to allow yourself to have self-compassion, but I encourage you to do so. The reality is, these challenges are affecting you too. You are not a superhero! Admitting that this is a hard season will help lower the bar of personal expectations and give you permission to know your own limitations.
When one member of a couple is struggling, the other member often wants to do everything they can to support their partner, but that can lead to burnout and isolation. "Partners of those suffering with anxiety problems often take on more than the normal share of domestic, economic, parenting, and other responsibilities." says the ADAA. I'm sure you can relate.
Take a moment to make a list of the additional responsibilities you take on when your partner is struggling.
What do you notice about your own energy level and mental health as you support your spouse?
Don't give up your own life and interests. Engage in your outside interests and hobbies for a break from the stresses of your daily life. You'll be energized, happier, healthier, and better prepared to face challenges. Don't become consumed with your partner's disorder.
Maintain a support system. Having friends and family to confide in — as well as assist you emotionally, financially, and in other ways when your spouse or partner cannot — is vital.
Set boundaries. Decide where your limits lie and inform your partner. These might be emotional, financial, or physical. For instance, if your partner is not working and is not seeking treatment, participating in support groups, or doing anything to try to become well, you may need to discuss your expectations and how to improve the situation. Couples therapy can often help.
Consider how you can implement these ideas.
What is life-giving to you?
Who is your support system?
Even you have your limitations. What boundaries do you need to set?
How do you feel about professional care for yourself? Would you consider it?
For more ways to practice self-care in your everyday busy life, check out the three-part series I wrote last month, The Importance of Self-Care.
You may be thinking, How can I care for my spouse, and do all the extra chores, AND take time to care for myself? There are not enough hours in the day!
Having experienced anxiety and being a caregiver for my mom, I can understand how complicated things can be for both of you. That being said, I am a huge advocate of self-care and self-compassion for the person trying to help. You've got to put your own oxygen mask on before anyone else's.
In order to make time for yourself, you'll need to allow yourself to disappoint others. It's inevitable, and that's okay. Remember, you are not super-human. If you don't care for yourself, you're going to be in bad place too, and that will only make things harder. Be intentional to make time for yourself, even if it means saying no to something or someone important to you.
I hope this advice encourages you and helps you realize you are giving a lot, you are not alone, and this will not last forever!
What Is It Like To Be Rested?


We've all dreamed of that perfect home theater. The ideal place to put all your world cares away and lose yourself in the seduction of high quality sound and video, and of course a butter soaked tub of popcorn. You may envision a Art Deco Theater of the thirties, with velvet drapes, a stage, and rows of theater chairs, or you may see a smaller more intimate setting with recliners for you and your spouse alone. Home Theater is not about the size or style of the room but rather the specific function of what your room is designed to be............a Home Theater. So whatever style or shape you prefer we are here and dedicated to making your Dream Theater a reality.

What is the highest mountain in Libya ?
Bikku Bitti, also known as Bette Peak, is the highest mountain in Libya at 2,266 metres (7,434 ft). It is located on the Dohone spur of the Tibesti Mountains in southern Libya, near the Chadian border.
Bikku Bitti is in one of the least known and least accessible parts of the Sahara Desert. It was climbed in December 2005 by Ginge Fullen and his Chadian guides, who approached from the Chadian side. Although they were not the first to summit the mountain—Fullen reports that "there were a number of cairns on top we could clearly see"—it was the first documented climb.
The Tibesti Mountains are a mountain range in the central Sahara, primarily located in the extreme north of Chad, with a small portion located in southern Libya. The highest peak in the range, Emi Koussi, lies to the south at a height of 3,415 meters (11,204 ft) and is the highest point in both Chad and the Sahara. Bikku Bitti, the highest peak in Libya, is located in the north of the range. The central third of the Tibesti is of volcanic origin and consists of five volcanoes topped by large depressions: Emi Koussi, Tarso Toon, Tarso Voon, Tarso Yega and Toussidé. Major lava flows have formed vast plateaus that overlie Paleozoic sandstone. The volcanic activity was the result of a continental hotspot that arose during the Oligocene and continued in some places until the Holocene, creating fumaroles, hot springs, mud pools and deposits of natron and sulfur.

Gardnertown is a hamlet (and census-designated place) in Orange County, New York, United States. The population was 4,542 at the 2020 census. It is part of the Poughkeepsie–Newburgh–Middletown, NY Metropolitan Statistical Area as well as the larger New York–Newark–Bridgeport, NY-NJ-CT-PA Combined Statistical Area.

Gardnertown is located within the town of Newburgh, and is approximately two  miles northwest of the city of Newburgh, a completely separate municipality. It takes its name from Silas Gardner, an early settler whose stone house, a Registered Historic Place, remains in use as a private residence on Route 300 just north of Route 52.

Gardnertown is the geographic center of the Town of Newburgh.  Accordingly, most of the governmental buildings, including the Town Hall, the Police Department, and the Code Compliance (Old Town Hall) building, are all located in Gardnertown. The Town Justice Court is located about a mile and a half to the north.

History
Gardnertown is named after the Silas Gardner family, whose home is still standing and in private use. Gardnertown Road was cut in half to make way for the NYS Thruway in the mid-1950s (as was Orr Avenue in the southern part of the Town). Site of the gunpowder mill, on Powder Mill Road, which is the centerpiece of the Orange Mill Historic District, the only historic district within the Town. The ruins of the mill are now part of Algonquin Park, owned and maintained by the Orange County Department of Parks and Recreation. The current Gardnertown Methodist Church building was constructed at its current location, the intersection of Gardnertown Road and Union Avenue, in 1858, replacing an earlier church built in 1825. The fellowship hall was built in 1957. The church is affiliated with Gardnertown Cemetery, one of the oldest cemeteries in the Town still in use, which is located both immediately east of the church, across Union Avenue, and south of the church, across Gardnertown Road. The Town of Newburgh American Legion Post 1420 is located on Union Avenue a short distance south of Gardnertown Methodist Church. Gardnertown Elementary School was located on Gardnertown Road.  A new school was built on Plattekill Turnpike in the mid-1950s, where it remains today. The former schoolhouse then became Newburgh Town Hall. (Previously, the Town Hall was located in a building on Old South Plank Road, about a half a mile to the south.  That building is no longer standing.) When the current Town Hall was constructed and opened next door in 1973 (at 1496 Route 300), the former schoolhouse became police headquarters.  When the current police headquarters was built and opened next door in the other direction in 1989 (at 300 Gardnertown Road), it became an auxiliary Town Hall, housing the Code Compliance, Planning and Zoning Departments.

We perform the music of The Beatles the way it was intended to be heard - live, raucous, high-energy rock n' roll
The 3eatles perform the music of The Beatles the way it was intended to be heard - live, raucous, high-energy rock n' roll.
To correctly reproduce the exact live sound of the world's greatest rock n' roll band, The 3eatles use the identical guitars and amps that The Beatles used when they played clubs; and they sing and play the verbatim parts that John, Paul, George, and Ringo sang and played on the Fab Four's records.
The 3eatles got their start in Conifer, CO as an acoustic Beatles sound alike trio in late 2005 - hence the name The 3eatles. But it wasn't long before they decided to fire up their electric guitars and add bass and drums to deliver the true Beatle sound.
The lads were noticed by a popular Denver radio station as the band that most captured the essence of the Beatles, and became regulars on their show "Breakfast With the Beatles". From then on, they have been a Beatles fixture on the Denver music scene!
Although the name never changed (it was too catchy), the four talented musicians of The 3eatles continue to entertain enthusiastic crowds everywhere. Thousands of people have come to listen and dance to The 3eatles over the years, as they faithfully recreate the raw energy and passion of the amazing Beatles. We invite you to join them!

At ISPP, we strive to provide the type of support that each student in our community requires. Our dynamic team of professionals work together to identify needs, and to design and deliver an effective support programme for every student. We focus on using students' strengths to help them develop confidence, a sense of self-advocacy and a desire to maximise their learning. The Elementary School employs experienced professionals to offer language, academic, and emotional support. Our teachers work collaboratively with other teachers, parents, external specialists when needed, and the administrative team to determine the best way to meet the needs of all students.
The English as an Additional Language (EAL) Programme provides support to students whose mother tongue (first language) is not English. EAL support is available from Grade 2 to Grade 5. Prior to Grade 2, students new to English will engage in meaningful experiences that will naturally develop their language skills. Students new to the school are assessed and given the appropriate level of support in all areas of language development in order to help them achieve a high level of English language proficiency and achieve full participation in their curricula.
What do the children miss while in the EAL class?
Some students in Grades 2-5 will attend EAL classes during the three periods a week of foreign languages or Khmer mother tongue at these times. Students participate in activities similar to those of the mainstream classroom but with more focus on increasing English language proficiency.
How long will my children attend EAL classes?
On average, Elementary students with a strong foundation in their mother tongue, need about 18 months to 2 years of EAL support before they have sufficient English to function independently in the mainstream. However, the actual time needed will depend on a number of variables, such as the native language of the learner, language learning aptitude, student motivation and similarity between the mother tongue languages.
All students whose first language is not English undergo a language assessment upon entry to ISPP. The EAL department, in collaboration with homeroom teachers, periodically review student progress. A student's transfer out of the EAL programme is dependent on established EAL exit criteria.
ISPP believes that all students are different and have different approaches to learning. We identify when a student is struggling, either academically or socially, search for the reasons behind the struggle and then provide creative and researched based strategies, interventions and resources to guide the student back onto a pathway for success.
The Learning Support programme provides specifically designed instruction in the areas of reading, mathematics and written language to any student who demonstrates a need for additional help. The programme also reaches out to our younger learners in Early Years, in areas such as fine motor skills and early language development.
Work with students can be provided right in the classroom, supplementing the instruction of the homeroom teacher, or provided in the Learning Support Centre for a more specific skill instruction approach.
The Elementary Counsellor offers emotional and academic support to all students. Working with parents, teachers and administration, the Counsellor ensures that all students are safe and happy at school.
We create safe learning environments and develop positive relationships with students. Through individual and group programmes and a comprehensive social emotional curriculum, we work to remove barriers to learning. We focus on the personal, social, emotional and developmental needs of our students to maximise their success at ISPP and beyond.
The Counsellor is also involved in classroom guidance sessions, consultation with parents and teachers, parent workshops, specialist referrals and works closely with the Student Support Team.
