Freedom Flotilla foiled: Israel blocks Palestinian attempt to leave Gaza by sea

The Israeli military, enforcing a naval blockade of the Gaza Strip, have prevented two Palestinian boats from reaching the open sea. The attempt was part of a wider Palestinian protest against Israeli policies in Gaza.
On Tuesday dozens of small motor boats and two larger vessels carrying 17 people departed from a seaport in Gaza Strip. Their stated goal was to break out of the Israeli-enforced naval blockade of the area and travel to an undisclosed location.
The so-called Freedom Flotilla was carrying people, who Palestinian activists said were illegally restricted by Israel from leaving Gaza Strip, including students and two people injured in the border fence violence by Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

The action was probably more symbolic than practical in nature, aimed at showcasing the effect that the Israeli blockade has on the life in Gaza Strip 11 years after being imposed. Three other events under the same name, which involved ships trying to reach the Palestinian territories despite the blockade, were thwarted in the past by the IDF.
The first case in 2010 ended in a controversial raid by Israeli commandos on six ships, in which 10 activists were killed. The Tuesday attempt was far less dramatic. The IDF intercepted the two passenger boats some six to seven nautical miles off the coast and seized the larger of them, arresting 12 people on board, journalist Hind Khoudary reported from the scene. The captain of the second boat was ordered to return and complied.
The IDF said they would tow the boat to a military port in the city of Ashdod to process the detained people. The Israelis said people requiring medical assistance among the passengers would receive it. Organizers say the blockade-breaking attempt was part of the ongoing Great March of Return campaign that began at the end of March and became a major controversy due to the scale of violence it is associated with.
IDF soldiers killed dozens of people protesting near the border fence and injured over a thousand, saying their use of lethal force was justified by the threat posed by the protesters. The Palestinians were burning tires, sending incendiary kites over the fence and throwing rocks at the Israeli troops.
A second attempt to break through the Gaza naval blockade is expected later this year. Another Freedom Flotilla set sail from Copenhagen last week.

The DII men's lacrosse programs with the most national championships
Merrimack wins the 2018 DII Men's Lacrosse Championship
Merrimack defeated Saint Leo for its first-ever DII men's lacrosse national championship to conclude the 2018 season. It then won another title in 2019, beating Limestone to go back-to-back.
The first championship on record is the 1974 title game in which Towson State defeated Hobart 18-17. These early championship tournaments combined DII and DIII programs until the 1979 DII lacrosse championship when Adelphi defeated UMBC for its first of seven championships. The DII men's lacrosse tournament was discontinued in 1982 until it returned in 1993, with Adelphi once again capturing a national championship.
In the roller coaster ride that has been the DII men's lacrosse tournament, six programs have won multiple titles. Here's a look at the schools with the most national championships.
7 — Adelphi (1979, 1981, 1993, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2001)
NCAA Photos
The Panthers were coming to power right before the tournament was discontinued and picked up right where they left off, appearing in six of the first seven championship finals between 1993 and 1999. Just how good was Adelphi? The Panthers were so good that they were invited to the Division I tournament during DII's hiatus and even pulled off a memorable upset over Army in 1987.

5 — Le Moyne (2004, 2006, 2007, 2013, 2016)
2016 DII Men's Lacrosse: Championship Recap
The Dolphins came to power in the mid-2000s and have remained a constant presence atop the DII men's lacrosse rankings ever since. They appeared in five-straight championship matches between 2006-10, going back-to-back in 2006-07 before losing the next three. Mike McDonald became the only athlete to win back-to-back Most Outstanding Player honors for Le Moyne in those 2006-07 championships. Le Moyne has a winning record in the championship game, sitting at 5-4 all-time.
5 — Limestone (2000, 2002, 2014, 2015, 2017)
Limestone wins the 2017 DII Men's Lacrosse Championship
Since the calendar changed to 2000, no team has found itself in the championship match more than the Saints. Limestone has appeared in 11 of the 19 championships this century, appearing in six straight title matches from 2000-2005.
4 — NYIT (1997, 2003, 2005, 2008)
The Bears have spread the wealth in their championship runs and are the only team on the list without back-to-back titles. Head coach Jack Kaley made NYIT a force to reckon with in the late 90s and the Bears saw that success continue straight into the 2000s.
3 — LIU (C.W.) Post (1996, 2009-10)
C.W. Post was a DII men's lacrosse power throughout the 1990s and although they only captured one championship, the Pioneers appeared in five title matches from 1991 to 2000. Head coach John Jez led them to consecutive championships in 2009-10, defeating Le Moyne on both occasions.
2 — Hobart (1976, 1977)
The Statesmen were the first repeat champions in DII men's lacrosse history, taking the third and fourth national championships in tournament lore. Hobart was a finals regular appearing in the championship game in each of the first five seasons of the tournament.

This volume presents a degree theory for maps which commute with a group of symmetries. This degree is no longer a single integer but an element of the group of equivariant homotopy classes of maps between two spheres and depends on the orbit types of the spaces. The authors develop completely the theory and applications of this degree in a self-contained presentation starting with only elementary facts. The first chapter explains the basic tools of representation theory, homotopy theory and differential equations needed in the text. Then the degree is defined and its main abstract properties are derived. The next part is devoted to the study of equivariant homotopy groups of spheres and to the classification of equivariant maps in the case of abelian actions. These groups are explicitly computed and the effects of symmetry breaking, products and composition are thoroughly studied. The last part deals with computations of the equivariant index of an isolated orbit and of an isolated loop of stationary points. Here differential equations in a variety of situations are considered: symmetry breaking, forcing, period doubling, twisted orbits, first integrals, gradients etc. Periodic solutions of Hamiltonian systems, in particular spring-pendulum systems, are studied as well as Hopf bifurcation for all these situations.


My first memory of insurance would be from the early '80s of my dad working at the Sears/Allstate booth in Bel-Air Mall. I can remember the stories he would tell me about clients having their homes destroyed by fire or being injured in bad car wreck. Their lives would have been forever financially destroyed if not for the benefit of insurance. I enjoy helping people and as a second generation insurance agent, I've witnessed how life changing tragedies can be right around the corner and the importance of insurance protection. We're always working to improve our agency to better protect our clients so call me anytime I can be of assistance. Call my cell @ 251.767.4878.
My insurance experience all started with a desire to buy my first car! I was determined to get a job and landed in an insurance office at age 15. As I got older I tested out other carreers only to realize that the insurance industry was where I belonged. Now with 30 years of experience, I have the knowledge and experience to handle any situtation. I love protecting my clients, by providing superior products and exceptional customer service. You've worked hard for what you have and I'll work just as hard to protect it.
I was born in Mobile, but grew up in Scotland as that is where my mother was from and where my dad was stationed. I am a Navy brat. I moved back to the area in 2006 with my husband and then young son. I have worked for Tyler and Terry for a little over 3 years now as the Senior Account Manager. I take pride in resolving any customer issues that occur. I started working here after returning to the job market after some much needed time off. I have done many things in my life that I am proud of, but I think my biggest accomplishment is my family. We are a close nit bunch, and get together as often as possible and just hang out, bar-b-que, or help do what needs to be done and just enjoy being together. So, what sets this agency apart from others? When I get your call I will treat you with respect, understanding and compassion. Your call is what matters to me and I will help you with anything you need.

Ukraine's military procuracy delegation visits Vietnam
Lieutenant General Mai Quang Phan, Deputy Director of the General Department of Politics of the Vietnam People's Army, held a working session with Sreda Grigory Porphirevic, Deputy Head of the Directorate of the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine, in Hanoi on December 4.
According to Phan, the Vietnamese people and army have always attached importance to developing their sound traditional friendship and cooperation with Ukraine .
The exchanges of delegations representing the two countries' armies in recent years have opened up cooperation opportunities in military and defence, contributing to strengthening friendship between the two peoples and armed forces, he added.
He said he believes the visit by the top Ukrainian prosecutor will help expand the partnership between staff of the two military procuracy agencies.

I <3 HomeGoods and purchased three affordable items there on Friday night. A ribbed clear glass canister with a silver screw top will now store sugar. I will dress my dining room table for my next dinner party with the plain white 52 x 70 tablecloth I picked up. I actually didn't own a tablecloth before, only placemats. A clear blown-glass vase was my last purchase. I think it would be the perfect height and opening size for a small bouquet of flowers, so it would be very easy to arrange what's offered at the grocery store. I adore having fresh flowers in the home. I'll take a picture when it's full of flowers.
I also picked up a set of two medium-sized white jar candles from Target yesterday morning. I love white candles in a plain clear glass jar. The scent is something like Jasmine Bouquet which is just fine. These were really affordable; I love you, Target.
The Italian Sunday dinner party I'm throwing is two weeks away, on Sunday, February 12th.
In preparation, I have invited three friends, purchased a plain white tablecloth for my dining room table, and designated my last $20 grocery store gift card (that I received at Christmas) to shopping for the event.
Two of my guests are bringing a dessert, keeping with the Italian theme. And the other will be contributing a couple bottles of wine.
I read Style Statement: Live by your own design. by Carrie McCarthy and Danielle LaPorte after Fiona of How To Be Chic wrote that she was reading it and working through its exercises here and here awhile ago.
This Style Statement is just two words describing your style. The first word captures 80% of your style, your foundation. The second term counting for 20% is your creative edge.
This book helps you figure your two-word Style Statement.
I love the word "sophisticated." I was raised to be independent-minded (even though the lesson that nonconformity is okay took awhile to reach my core) and always wanted to be an adult. When I say I want to be and look "grown up," I mean I want to look always put together, polished, even effortlessly stylish. I also appreciate that care and thought goes into sophistication. I always say I am a student, to the core. I love to learn and am a hardworking, straight A student. I am always working to perfect so many things of mine. I am very willing to put in the effort. I strive to look and have my space reflect who I truly am and what I love. I do a good job of only keeping what I love and actually use. Sophisticated is reflecting good taste, yes, but, really, quintessentially my taste. And my taste tends towards the classic. Timeless, not trendy. I like that being sophisticated is very intentional. Not simply going through the motions. I truly believe life is what you make it and I desire to have a wonderful life. I want to full appreciate this life as well. I try my best to practice this values-based living. Practically, this intentional style is reflected in the fact that I never look like I fell out of bed. Instead, that I look like I put some effort in and look like me every single day. Even though spontaneity can be great, I prefer to have a plan. I'm all about planning. In addition, I find that a sophisticated individual has a broader worldview beyond their immediate location. Different cultural experiences enrich life and has transformed my life. Since sophisticated is a deep, complex style, this cultural component is evident in my style.
My personal creative edge is the lively passionate.
I loud this pairing of words. One is all about understated study and the other about lively interest.
I hope this translates into my style-- both my wardrobe and home design. I often wear neutrals including crisp white with a pop of saturated, bold color, like in a scarf from Italy or pair of earrings. I also often wear a suit to work. My current favorite work ensemble is a lavender and white striped shirt and a classic charcoal gray pant suit. I love the lavender and charcoal color combination. I hope my passion comes through in wearing and carrying accessories in the form of my beloved quatrefoil. I'll always wear earrings I love. Since I live up the stairs from where I work, I often slip on my black or pewter ballet flats even though I know it's too cold for them right now. After 9 to 5, my winter uniform is a v-neck shirt or sweater possibly over a camisole with dark blue bootcut jeans and skinny heeled black or brown boots. My black winter single-breasted trench coat and a bright scarf top this uniform when I venture outside. I also always carry my dark red handbag which is a structured tote (by Kenneth Cole New York).
The style of each of my rooms of my apartment home is also done in neutrals with pops of color, usually deep red since my favorite color, that particular shade of dark pink-- azalea, raspberry, more red/ pink than the purplish fuschia, is more difficult to find in home items. My neutrals cannot be blah either. I love crisp white, charcoal grey, chocolate or espresso brown, black, silver, pewter. I do own alittle bit of what you would call beige, but I prefer to call it cream! I also do not particularly care for pastels, but I'm currently trying to give a couple of them a shot, considering them a neutral and only when it's a fantastic color combination with a pop color.
I can hardly wait until it arrives!
St. Christopher is the patron saint of travel and the protector of travelers.
It would be nice to add this to my charm bracelet.
I love symbols from all the art I've studied over the years.
I've always wanted a carved wooden screen!
I've been wanting a metal bed for years. This one from Hillsdale Furniture is a contender.
I want the four shelf bookcase in this picture.
It's from the Avington Collection at Target, just like the majority of my furniture.
It will replace my very scratched Ikea Expedit one. It's an upgrade.
I am aware that this is a lot of furniture. I love furniture! It's such a "grown up" purchase and I've always wanted to be an independent adult. I actually sold furniture for a year after graduating college and even know good construction. Not that it's on this list, not for this home.
I'm unsure when I'll pick up something from this list again, especially since I am pretty poor at the moment and am actively saving for my birthday trip to Boston. I prefer to have a travel experience over a material possession.
...paired with a glass of red wine certo (of course).
I plan to purchase the whole grain pasta version for this dish next time. I have eaten this variety before and it's so much healthier!
I will create a dish like this for the primo piatto (first course) of my Italian Sunday Dinner next month. I love vegetables.
I love all the warm white here, paired with the espresso wood finish.
I love to have fresh flowers in my home.
I have this sitting on my jewelry armoire.
I love these earrings of mine!
I wear mother-of-pearl earrings often.
I have the smaller owl on my bookshelf, among a few other white accents.
I purchased two of these from Crate & Barrel during Christmastime.
It's very Italian to have it in a real cup, not a takeaway one.
but I do use tiny white cups and saucers when I brew espresso.
I also prefer my cappuccino dry-- more of a foam cap.
I had it today with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle.
I'm considering purchasing this shower curtain.
so I bought towels to go and still use them.
A chocolate and vanilla bathroom here??
I still really want this clutch!
I love to carry a clutch for evening.
I wouldn't mind if we had snow this winter, as long as it isn't too much!
White falling from the sky, not sticking to the ground, would be nice.
I am such a planner!
I am collaborating with my Italian penpal on my menu for the Italian Sunday dinner I will be hostessing next month because I want it to be fairly traditional. I will be serving antipasti (appetizers), a primo piatto (or first course of pasta) and a secondo piatto (small second course of a meat and vegetable or potato). With wine of course. Once decided, I will post the menu here. Grazie to B for helping me out so far! I can hardly wait for the day!
I have also decided how I would like to celebrate my all-important birthday in April. There's nothing like being out-of-town for the occasion ...and I have settled on Boston, a place I've been dying to visit for years. I've been all around it but never to the actual city. For budget reasons, I am only visiting for two days one night, a weekend, but, nonetheless, it should be fabulous. I'm flying up with one of my favorite travel buddies, J. My friend F, who I visited in New Haven last July, is meeting us there.
I have already devoured an entire guidebook! I really want to have a cappuccino and pastry in the very Italian part of town, along Hanover and Salem Streets in the North End, perhaps on my birthday morning. The Isabella Stewart Gardner museum will be another stop. The favorite place of this well-traveled patron of the arts was Venice. In fact, she designed her museum to resemble a Venetian palazzo. And art history was my major in college; I love a good art museum.
Since F is Irish, I suggested listening to live Irish music in a pub with her. This is something we enjoyed a couple of times in college. I love live music! I hope to do some kind of tour since this'll be my first time to the city. F teased me about the Duck tours and the guidebook author actually promoted it, so maybe I'll consider it... I believe I did one in the Wisconsin Dells fifteen years ago... Anyway, J would particularly enjoy a tour too. I really want to hear what F and J want to do before I plan anymore myself! I have been researching hotels for the past couple of days. I have also requested the Saturday off that weekend from work today. The office is closed on Sundays already. I hope to start setting some stuff in stone soon.
I love this clutch with this tile print.
Hopefully I'll make it mine and carry it for a happy hour or a night on the town soon.
2011 was a pretty fantastic year for me. ...and going into it, I didn't foresee that... I dedicated the year to working towards my goals and resolutions and I hoped that it would lead to new chapters in life in 2012. I thought this past year would be all work and little play. I didn't expect for a few fantastic things to happen already!
I knew that I was going to Italy at the end of 2010, and I will always cherish that little trip. I visited Verona, Venice, Padua and Milan for just a few days during the middle of March.
When we were taking the vaporetto (water bus) back to the train station to leave, the sun finally came out and I got to see beautiful Venezia in the sunshine this year!
But I didn't know that I would manage to escape retail, move into a place of my own, finally meet my Italian penpal and finally hang out with my old college friend F.
I am happy working as a Leasing Consultant at an apartment community. Although, recently, my boss was promoted to another complex. I am sad to lose such a great boss and an excellent Property Manager, ...but she was always away saving other properties. One of them finally kept her and wouldn't give her back! In this change, I hope to have a boss that likes to stick with the property and will finally allow me to do what I was hired ten months ago to do, be Leasing Consultant, not run the property day-to-day and be the face of the community. I am truly excited for 2012 in this way.
I moved into my beautiful one bedroom with a balcony over Labor Day weekend and I can tell you that I love every single second of it. This apartment home makes me so happy. I love how it is set up and how it enables me to live my life how I want. I moved so early because the most perfect apartment in the community for me became available in September. Since I could finance it, I went ahead and signed up for an apartment at least four months earlier than planned.
I love to entertain here and have had two parties so far, an apartmentwarming and a holiday party. I am planning to hostess an Italian Sunday dinner the Sunday following the Superbowl (February 12th). I will try to make it as traditional as possible. This will be small since I only have a small table to seat attendees around. It should be fabulous and I'm already looking forward to it.
2011 has treated me well in so many other ways. I am very grateful. There are too many to list, so I invite you to take a look at my previous posts if you are curious! Life is what you make it and I tried to make wonderful things happen for me over the past 365 days.
I also wanted to take a moment to reflect on last year's resolutions.
1. Significantly pay down my credit card debt. Even though I went from four credit cards to two, I still did not significantly decrease my debt as desired. I only cut out a lot of temptation to overspend.
2. Find a new job and escape retail. I left my job as a Store Manager of a name brand luggage store to be a Leasing Consultant at an apartment community in my hometown. My first day was March 7, 2011.
3. Pack my lunch the night before a workday. Even though I didn't manage to accomplish this, I did move upstairs from my office. I just go up to my apartment to prepare and eat lunch, ...if I have a coworker to cover the office. And I remember packing my lunch before I moved many a time.
4. Only possess what I love, want and use. I have truly decluttered my home including my closet and I love it!
5. Have a fabulous time on my little trip to Italy. I had such a great time! Grazie to J for helping me out on this one!
I wish I could have paid my debt down more, but, with these resolutions, I had a successful year.
2. To live a more chic life. I have always wanted to be grown up and sophisticated. And after falling in love with Italy and developing more Italian values, I want a passionate life too. I actually live fairly well and with intention now. For example, I keep my apartment home very clean and uncluttered. I keep my nice things nice. I also actively plan great activites. I lead a civilized, mannered life based on respect for myself and others. Plus, I strive to look presentable always and professional at the office. Furthermore, I pride myself on taking care of myself well, and that's very important to me. I want to work even more on this however. I am full of ideas right now since I am currently reading Jennifer L. Scott's Lessons from Madame Chic: The Top 20 Things I Learned While Living in Paris (which I highly recommend!). In particular, I hope to add more routine in my life. I think so much better after having eaten an actual breakfast and hope to rise earlier each morning to have one. Another example is to continue to focus on portion control, which is a struggle for me at every meal. I know I could elaborate much more here, but I plan to report my efforts towards a more chic life on this blog. Perhaps I'll update every day for a month on this very subject like Fiona did last September in her blog how to be chic... We'll see.
3. ...which leads me to my next resolution, to blog more frequently. Always having kept some sort of diary, I adore this blog and looked forward to it for a long time before I finally created it. As a woman of my word, I like that I will feel obligated to update more, especially about my lifestyle, and that this will help me keep my resolutions. I also hope to regularly post on the subject of style on Sundays soon, as promised. I hope you readers enjoy it as much as I do.
I had fun in my New Year's celebrations. I started off the New Year right this morning by reading my Christmas present to myself, Lessons from Madame Chic, while sipping a cup of hot chocolate. Again, I love this book. I had followed the series that inspired it on the author's blog, The Daily Connoisseur. Go on over to Amazon and order it now.
I wish everyone a fabulous new year! I hope that it's the best yet.
To a Happy New Year!
I had a good time on my day off this past week. One highlight was when I viewed the movie Midnight in Paris. I loved it! I highly recommend it as well. Having studied Art History, I delighted in seeing so many artists portrayed. I also treated myself to a professional pedicure, my second ever. My toes and feet look so nice. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I realize that I'm embracing routines that help me live well, but I couldn't make this a routine based on my budget. I want to live within my means. I'll have to paint my own toe nails with only sporadic salon visits.


@Thorend said that my idea was "too overpowered to happen". And I completely agree with him, but that's the point! My old idea yes it was kinda crazy but that's the point its because feebas was a fail and I believe that Niantic did go out of their way with shellder and now even more with lotad/castform. I'm not attacking you @Thorend I am just continuing the discussion doesn't anyone think 7 hours in one day is kind of broken I feel it would be better to have 3 hours for Saturday AND Sunday.
Does anyone think that the new research day is kinda crazy?
No, its not crazy, bring the 7 hours on!
I gotta work untill 14:00, then drive home so i could start at 15:00-ish. Thats already alot of time lost.
On top of that youre limited by the number of pokestops. When they are out, you gotta go to another city to continue.
This isnt like community day where its just non-stop catching. You gotta "work" for it.
Research Day RD is a different concept than Community Day CD. RD is all about spinning pokestops, getting the quests and working on getting the said Pokémon, while CD is all about non stop catching. Therefore RD needs more time for players to "work" on the quests. Niantics did learn from the Feebas RD and gradually improve RD, both the length and the difficulty of the quests within the time frame, it's still at "test and trial" phase.
And if you get your shiny, satisfied with it, and feel like RD is going in way to long then you can always leave early.
I'll probably hunt at LEAST four hours straight this Saturday. I hope they make the wild spawns more interesting, too, like Niantic did during Clamperl RD. Then I will likely hunt even more hours.
Mudkip will get it own CD as its a Gen starter.
And like @Mew1 already stated: research day is about doing the research tasks, which usually takes more time than just non stop catching, so it was a logical step for improvement.
Next to mudkip you can skip Wailmer to, because this one is also allready available as a shiny.
I don't believe these events are done specifically to release shinies, so I think it's still possible. Rememeber Pikachu community day? Its shiny was already released before the event started.
I think its great - new shinies, isnt measly 3 hours, maybe we could get CDs in that time period too?
Wailmer won't, it's shiny form is released. I also don't think common Pokémon like surskit, barbroach, and spheal will see special research days. They seem to be reserved for Pokémon that are less common.


Acquiring furniture to our flat is generally believed for us to be a complicated challenge. It is connected with the fact that mostly majority of us don't have proper skills that would allow us to make good choices and fit it to the other parts in our room.
What is more, we are recommended to also realize that sometimes we have the illusion that it is nothing difficult related to such a purchases. On the other side, after some time we find out that we have made a choice we regret, which implicates that we wished we could make a decision once again.
The situation at present is very complicated as there are more and more bargains that make miscellaneous people make similar decisions in atmosphere of great hurry and willing to make everything as instantly as possible, as in most cases such solutions are really limited. However, in majority of cases in order to make a house look attractive it is necessary to have a wider and more complex plan that would not only be related to above presented commodities, but also with deciding for good colors for the walls, type of the floor etc.
That's the reason why, we ought to also realize that making a decision in the previously analyzed area shouldn't be made in great hurry. We are rather advised to analyze miscellaneous aspects in the above presented area in order to be certain that we will later not regret our moves. It is quite meaningful, because this choices highly influence the way our house looks for more than one decade. This implicates that we ought to prepare properly early for purchasing the furniture in order to make our flat reflect our expectations in the topic of the interior design.
Another crucial factor that can impact our choicesdecisions and make them be more responsible is cooperation with a specialist in the topic of interior design. This implies that asking other people for an opinion and getting to know what is their opinion concerning our preferences in the topic of furniture is likely to support us significantly.

Singapore Navy launches its first of eight littoral mission vessels
The Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) has launched the first of eight littoral mission vessels (LMV), Independence, at Benoi shipyard of Singapore Technologies Marine (ST Marine).
The new vessel features enhanced capabilities to strengthen the RSN's ability to ensure seaward defence.
Equipped with advanced radars and sensors, as well as a bridge with a 360° out-of-window view, the LMV will have an all-round visual awareness of its immediate surroundings in congested waters.
Singapore Defence Minister Dr Ng Eng Hen said: "The LMVs are uniquely Singaporean, having been planned, conceptualised and built locally to meet our requirements."
Dr Ng also said that a strong and capable navy is critical in securing country's economic lifeline and protecting its sea lines of communication.
The vessels' integrated command centre includes the bridge, combat information centre, and machinery control room, which increase the ships operational effectiveness and efficiency.
"The LMVs are uniquely Singaporean, having been planned, conceptualised and built locally to meet our requirements."
The networked-centric ship also features a number of sense-making and decision support systems.
Delivery of the new LMV is scheduled for 2016 and the vessel is expected to be fully operational by 2017.
In May, construction of the second vessel in this series began following a keel-laying ceremony.
The eight LMVs, which will replace the existing Fearless-class PVs, are scheduled to be fully operational by 2020.

I've been using mencoder to rip/encode dvds into avi/divx and mpg.
I've been following the instruction in the encoding.html and everything seems to be going fine. Except, I realized that those avi can't be played properly under xine. It gives me a lot of green boxes on the screen.
Also when I did the mpg encoder, the output mpg has no sound when I play in under mplayer, and the very same mpg file can't be played properly under xine.
Is there any trick or something I've missed during the encoding? Cos what I'm worrying is files I've encoded can't be played properly on other players (players on windows for example). How can I make sure the output is friendly in general for all (most) movie players programs?

Studies: Increasing Complications for Pacemakers and ICDs
NEW YORK– Implantation of cardiac implantable electrophysiological devices (CIED) is associated with increasing rates of complications and mortality, according to results of 3 studies published in the August 23rd online Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
There have been dramatic increases in the implantation of these devices, largely due to the expanded indications and the aging of the general population. Previous studies have suggested that the complication rates associated with implantation of these devices may be increasing, too.
Infection rates have clearly increased, according to a report from Dr. Arnold J. Greenspon from Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and colleagues. They analyzed the historical trends for CIED infection in the United States between 1993 and 2008 using data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample.
World's Largest Cardiac Arrest Trial Shows Longer Period of Initial CPR by Paramedics and Firefighters Provides No Benefit
A study involving nearly 10,000 cardiac arrest patients from 10 North American regions has shown that extending the period of initial cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by paramedics and firefighters from one to three minutes provides no benefit. The study, led by Dr. Ian Stiell of the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute (OHRI), the University of Ottawa (uOttawa) and the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (ROC), resolves a worldwide controversy about cardiac arrest care. It is the largest randomized cardiac arrest trial in the world, published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Report on AED Failures: A Reminder that Maintenance is Vital
WASHINGTON-- More than 1,000 cardiac arrest deaths over 15 years are connected to the failure of automated external defibrillators (AEDs); battery failure accounted for almost one-quarter of the failures. The study was published online last week in Annals of Emergency Medicine ("Analysis of Automated External Defibrillator Device Failures Reported to the Food and Drug Administration" http://bit.ly/ox6YYr).
"Survival from cardiac arrest depends on the reliable operation of AEDs," said lead study author Lawrence DeLuca, MD, EdD, of the University of Arizona Department of Emergency Medicine in Tucson. "AEDs can truly be lifesavers but only if they are in good working order and people are willing to use them."
Hygienist's CPR saves heart-attack victim after wreck

Dental hygienist Julie Watson looks over debris outside the dental clinic where she works on Bryant Irvin Road. Watson is credited with saving the life of a heart-attack victim who slammed his car into the clinic.
FORT WORTH — A dental hygienist is credited with saving a heart-attack victim's life after the car he was driving slammed through the wall of the dentist's office where she works.
Julie Watson performed CPR and used an automatic defibrillator on the man after he was pulled from his vehicle and placed on the ground outside Dr. Gary Pointer's dental clinic on Bryant Irvin Road.
There's a large problem with 'presenting rhythm' statistics.
Here's the deal...
When you have a sudden cardiac arrest, your heart has already progressed from a perfusing rhythm to a non-perfusing rhythm.
i.e., your heart is not pumping blood to your brain, and you are clinically dead.
The tracking systems report the "initial rhythm" as whatever the rhythm was when the first person with an AED or Cardiac Monitor got their gear wired to the patient.
If the rhythm was "shockable" and the device was an AED, we know that it was one of two or more well-known rhythms.
If the rhythm was described in terms of the specific rhythm, the device used was a cardiac monitor.
The officially recorded presenting rhythm is reported as "shockable" if an AED fired a blast and as whatever the paramedic on scene saw if the EMTs were the first on the scene and attached a heart monitor.
Patients With ICDs Live Longer, However Pacing is Crucial
Submitted by SCAFoundation on Sun, 08/28/2011 - 12:00am
Adverse effects of right ventricular pacing on the survival of ICD (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) patients are long term, researchers from the Minneapolis Heart Institute at Abbott Northwestern Hospital explained, however, CRT (cardiac resynchronization therapy) lessens the impact.
The scientists presented their findings at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress August 28 in Paris, France. Lead author Robert G. Hauser, MD, said: "We were pleased to discover that the average patient, despite having severe left ventricular dysfunction, lived nine years after ICD implantation, which are the best results that we are aware of."
Some really interesting items in the CARES report
In no particular order, here are some punctuation marks from the CARES data for the past 4+ years.
By way of background, there are two significant categories of heart rhythm: shockable and un-shockable. The first chance we have of learning what a cardiac arrest victim's heart rhythm is occurs when an AED or cardiac monitor is first attached to the victim.
The length of time that passes between the victim's death and the attachment of a monitor / AED is extremely important because there is frequently a progression from one rhythm to another over time when someone arrests. For example, a victim might begin in a shockable rhythm when they died, and with the passage of a few minutes, they might have transitioned into an un-shockable rhythm.
Missing and Rusty Links...in the Chain of Survival
Submitted by Bob Trenkamp on Wed, 08/24/2011 - 10:50am
There's a nice, tidy guide to maximizing resuscitation success when someone has a sudden cardiac arrest: (1) immediately recognize the arrest for what it is and activate the 911 emergency response network; (2) immediately begin chest compressions; (3) promptly defibrillate the victim; (4) get the victim under Advanced Life Support care; and (5) provide early post-resuscitative care. It's called the Chain of Survival.
In some parts of the real world, however, there are a surprising number of rusty or missing links. What goes wrong?
It's important to know where to find AEDs on Airplanes, Trains, and other public places.
Train Passengers Perform CPR After Man Collapses at West Newton Station
After a man collapsed on the platform in West Newton, Commuter Rail passengers stepped in to help out.
By Melanie Graham
It was an exciting commute for a few passengers on the Framingham/Worcester Commuter Rail line this morning.
David Perry, an Ashland resident, as well as Framingham resident Dean Bonis, helped perform CPR on a man at the West Newton station after the man collapsed and went into cardiac arrest.
"I knew I had the training and I knew what to do," Perry told Newton Patch.
Newton Fire Chief Paul Chagnon told Newton Patch this morning that the man was reported to be "awake and alert" in the hospital.
As the train pulled into the West Newton stop around 8 a.m., Perry and Bonis explained that someone ran onto their cars asking if there was a doctor available, as a man had just collapsed on the platform.
PA Rep. Mike Vereb Legislation Protects Student Athletes Against Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Submitted by SCAFoundation on Wed, 08/17/2011 - 12:34pm
Urging public awareness before the start of the fall school sports season, Rep. Mike Vereb (R-Montgomery) today held a press conference to discuss his legislation, House Bill 1610, to educate and safeguard student athletes against sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). SCA is the leading cause of death in young athletes. In fact, according to news reports, approximately one out of every 180 students is at high risk for sudden cardiac death.
"Sudden cardiac arrest strikes quickly and unexpectedly," Vereb said. "Parents and coaches need to be aware of the warning signs. Too often news reports contain stories of student athletes who die during a game or practice as a result of an unknown heart condition. Awareness is the first step toward prevention."
Vereb's legislation ensures that appropriate measures are taken when a student athlete shows symptoms of cardiac distress. Specifically, his legislation stipulates that:

A field of the world's best Hobie Cat sailors battled it out on Dapeng Bay in China on the first day of competition in the two day finals series, at the 2016 Hobie 16 World Championship.
Coming into the series some competitors were simply expecting light to moderate breezes and nothing more, while others had their hopes up for strong monsoonal wind in the finals. Yesterday those with high hopes had their prayers answered and the solid pressure on the water didn't just come from their competition.
The finals produced real intensity on the starting line with some unexpected tactical manoeuvring which created havoc for some and Black Flags for others. Everything imaginable happened on the water, there was absolutely brilliant sailing, lucky changes in fortune, amazing skill, screaming and yelling and just some awesome racing. The fierce competition and rivalry of the high quality fleet, and some incredible weather made for a real spectacle.
When interviewed Daniel Bjornholt Christensen from Denmark said that the worlds is about skill, making the right decisions, making the most of other team's mistakes and having a lot of luck go your way. He said it's about what happens on the day, and the weather, and if he had his way he would want strong winds through the finals. Yesterday, Daniel got everything he desired and moved to the top of the leaderboard.

Thank you for the confirmation to step outside the "senior citizen" box. Personally, I'm re-inventing old age everywhere I go and loving life more fully in the process.
Sandra, how are you doing this?
"Younger women don't want someone who's perfect, they want someone who's present." Oh my goodness, YES. I'm way under forty, getting poured into by older women, and at the same time, leaving high school and having people in my path, younger or the same age as me I want to pour into better. First rule of thumb: I'm not perfect, thus, I should stop acting like a guru. A rule I don't follow very well, but am learning to in grace. "Mentors should be guides, not gurus," I was once told. I think the same is true for ANY relationship among believers–sisters and disciples, husbands and wives, mentors and those mentored, church members and fellow church members…we ought to be present listening ears and live the roles in the seasons we're in PRESENTLY that God's given us. Every place we're in is with purpose and beauty. Why not embrace that? I want to embrace where I'm at now, and ask God for guidance in how to live in now better. Change when He calls and learn from the past, not live there.
Again, Lori, this is right on.
Lori, I needed this. As a 50+ woman, I desire to reach younger women. I don't want to stereotype them as a typical "millennial." Thank you for these great ideas.
I remember being younger (30 to early 40's) and thinking I knew it all and didn't need others advice. The relationship you speak of must be based on trust and being genuine between parties.I've had a couple of older women in my life. They were Godly wise women not perfect. They made time for me. They listened more than talked. They genuinely cared. They prayed for me and they held our discussions in confidence.
I don't think it's a situation where someone can randomly match up two people like a dating service but a matter of prayer that God provide for both parties seeking the other.
These were not women to babysit my kids, bring meals or meet financial needs. That's for friends and family.
It's been my experience that the most important thing younger Christian women are looking for in older Christian women is that they love Jesus. Really love Jesus. If they know and see this in you they will listen with eager ears. I am 75 meeting with women from 19 to 50. All I have to offer them is Jesus. I tell them this up front and I believe that is why they come back.
I agree with every word written here. Thanks Lori. When I share time with the youth (half my age), I like to get perspective from them on how they give, how they receive and how they give thanks. It opens a window to share how we self-direct as humans and the opportunity to discover if we are believing or even following God. A good way we can uncover ways to be the best version of self. I've always had a great discussion in being transparent about when we are NOT being the best version of ourself with the youth. Allowing opportunity to open up and look for God who has already given us this in our free will and to receive through the Holy Spirit when we are aware of the difference between self-initiated and God initiated.
So, so, so very helpful to me as I adjust from being an empty-nester to having our thirty-something daughter recently move home with us. I think it's harder with a family member to feel like you're "getting through" with any wisdom from above. My corner looks rather dismal actually, but I'm trying to see it all from God's perspective. I know He has lessons for me in this place and I don't want to miss them.
My first thought when I read your comment, Val, was that, depending on the circumstances, if you want to "get through" to her, you can be fairly certain your daughter is waiting with trepidation for you to open the discussion. While I don't know the circumstances, it's possible you've already given her practical advice on how she should proceed with her life. Maybe she needs more than anything for you to listen to her and love her where she is while she sorts things out. Meanwhile, pray pray pray for God to keep her open to truth, and help you recognize when — and if — you should speak. As you put all your expectations in God, maybe she will learn to do the same.
I am 76 years old. I am a small group leader for Proverbs 31 Ministries Online Bible Studies. Everyone in the group is younger than I am. I find this is one area where I can listen to younger women and guide them in their walk with the Lord. I have learned to be honest with them and to share from my heart. When I share struggles I have had, it helps them to open up about their struggles.
I appreciate these words. We "seasoned" women need to bend and stretch to keep up the the generations. It helps that I have a wide range of children, grandchildren and now great grand babies. They keep me young at heart, and mind.
A great word of encouragement. One of my favorite activities is being a mentor mom for our local MOPS group. The young moms are pretty amazing!
Excellent article, Lori!!! This is spot on!
I was just thinking about this today before I read your article.. About mentoring young women and new believing women. I have done it with women of different ages- as part of a small group in my home. And would love to hear how others do. What I was thinking of was somehow matching women of different ages with each other – one on one. And also mature Christian women with new believers. Looking for God's wisdom to have it become a normal part of our churches.Perhaps get the word out that we are looking for women eager to do this. I am sure some are already involved.
Your words are so true. We,as the older generation need to listen more to the younger ones. Stories of our lives and how Jesus changed us is a great start.
I loved this and would like to share some of your ideas with our women's group. What are you thoughts on that?

Design Build Opportunity Zone Fund project. Assured team was involved from conception to completion and completed full entitlement package through construction. Project consisted of a block and wood framed building built in 1964 that operated as former bank before being shutter in approximately 2012. The building sat vacant and continued to be a haven for rodents, birds, homeless as well as a community eye sore for nearly 8 years. Upon acquisition, the building was full of asbestos and posed many challenges in construction and renovations due to the age of the structure. The Assured team worked hand in hand with Ownership to salvage the mason and concrete section of the structure and maintain the aesthetic appeal of the 1964 building while constructing to current building codes which included the addition of fire sprinklers, full electrical, HVAC and plumbing upgrade to building. Site had additional challenges with access, staging and security.


oday, we see a transformation in the approach to education, ideas that were deemed too radical are but common practice in our school. For example, technology's role in education was but smirked at until the recent past; we realize today the huge potential of digital technology in imparting education. We do not see phones, laptops, etc., as an obstruction to education but as complementary to it. We can tap into this possible potential, and open ourselves to a world of possibilities.
We are facing the challenge of dwindling resources, the very resources considered essential to education; i.e., Capital, Manpower, Quality. But, to move forward would be to use the resources readily available and innovate education; this I believe will help us in reaching out further, and in finding greater opportunities for our children. This need for a jumpstart to education as it is will most certainly create the need for us to develop our project management skills which will help us in effective utilization of existing resources like digital technology.
Embracing project management is thus essential for the trade, a prerequisite to successful delivery.
How can project management benefit school and district administrators?
The more radical an innovation, the more issues it will bring with it; this is true even in education. So, we need to build necessary skills that will help us in dealing with issues that will arise from this development.
By implementing project management tactics, we can come up with an efficient plan that will deliver effectively. As I said before, it is an issue of resource management that disallows the proper delivery of the project. We cannot lose track of one element in the project while concentrating more on another element, a right balance can be achieved through proper project management and application.
Project management skills have many advantages, and its application in the right way will ensure the smooth delivery of the project. Like in many other industries, education needs project management; it will enable and empower us in providing better and improved education.

You will never be far from another first-generation college student at North Central College. We are especially proud of the many first-generation students among our faculty, staff and graduate assistants at North Central who were first-generation students. We encourage you to reach out to these accomplished individuals for support as you progress through your college experience.
"My experience as a first-generation college student was not particularly noteworthy. Like many first-gen students, though my parents did not attend college, there was a strong assumption that I would. When I arrived on campus, I attributed much of my hesitation and confusion to being a new student, irrespective of my parents' background. I assumed that every first-year student was feeling the same as I was, and in many ways they were. But having raised children essentially on college campuses and, most recently, helping my oldest child to select a college, I appreciate the advantage that students with parents who attended college can sometimes have.
The most vivid memory I have of being a first-generation college student is going home for Thanksgiving during my first year. As is the case with many adolescents, I had by that point grown tired of my parents, felt them to be overbearing, and could not wait to find my independence. That distance, however, particularly in an era with long-distance telephone rates, led to a tremendous feeling of sadness for me once I had a few weeks away from them. In other words, I really missed my folks and couldn't wait to get home to share all I was learning in college. Sitting at the dinner table that first day home, I remember the feeling in the pit of my stomach that I still cannot completely identify. I felt that even in such a short period of time, I had grown so much that I couldn't talk to them anymore. I think I felt a sense of importance that was not warranted -- a belief that I was somehow 'better' than they were. That wore off quickly as I came to appreciate the gift they had given me through their sacrifice and support. Over time, I found meaningful ways to share my work with them, as they continue to be curious as to what it is that I do.
As I think about the advantage my own children have in both choosing a college and setting forth on that journey, I am continually reminded that they only have this advantage because of my parents. Further, the gap in advantage is considerably narrower at many institutions now because of programs like Cardinal First, and for that I am deeply grateful. My research centers on inequality, so I am particularly energized by people, institutions and programs that are deliberate in attempts to dismantle systems of inequality and provide greater access and opportunity to those who have not historically enjoyed those aspects of life. While I was able to persist without such support, my route would have been richer and less stressful if I had it. I'm a proud first-generation college student, and a proud supporter of Cardinal First."
"I grew up in the Chicago suburbs as part of a working-class family. My father was raised on a farm in rural southern Illinois and my mother is from Elgin, Ill. My father worked as a carpenter. My mother ran an in-home child care service then transitioned to working for a printing company. They both modeled the value of hard work, persistence and building relationships. My mother took classes at the local community college when she was running her child care service and always told me that no learning is ever wasted.
I started taking classes at the same community college when I was a junior in high school. My first class was Introduction to Psychology! I was fortunate to fall into a group of friends in high school who were all college bound. That social network created the expectation of going to college. A family friend took me along on a trip to her college while I was in high school. That was the one college that I applied to.
I completed my bachelor's of music in music therapy in three years thanks to those classes that I started in high school. After working as a music therapist and establishing my focus in school settings, I sought opportunities for graduate school to enhance my professional skills. I completed both of my advanced degrees in educational psychology at Northern Illinois University while working full-time and raising my two children. My current scholarship focuses on research and evaluation in informal learning settings. I am grateful for the lessons that were modeled by my parents and supported by my early social networks.
"It is a blessing and honor to be a first-generation college student. My parents dropped me off at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on a beautiful Sunday in August of 1986. I was so excited about leaving home. I was anxious to be on my own and to spread my wings a bit. I had an inflated ego but all of that changed once I hit U of I's campus. As a senior in high school, you have an established group of friends and the world is yours but the first year of college can be overwhelming. It can even be more intimidating when you are the first one in your family to attend college. I knew that my family was counting on me to succeed and that pressure made me fearful.
On the surface, fear may appear to be a negative force but I was able to channel that fear in a positive manner. In fact, I was able to use that fear as a source of motivation. I was not a perfect student but I was able to balance my time effectively. While I attended a number of social events, I found a couple of study spots that were tucked away from the public. I realized that I did my best work when I had peace and quiet. I also blocked off several hours of my day to make sure that I had enough time to study for each subject. I did not become a hermit but I was deliberate and purposeful about the manner in which I spent my time. I also had two incredible mentors, an assistant dean in my college and a professor in my department. They coached me through many important decisions, including studying in London and participating in a faculty/student research program. My time at U of I was exciting and full of fun. I met some great friends and participated in a number of activities but through it all, I kept my eye on the prize. I realized that I had to invest the time and energy to achieve the level of success that I wanted.
I am honored to be a part of Cardinal First. The program offers a wealth of support and a sense of community. Participating in Cardinal First greatly enhances a student's experience at North Central. "
"As a first-year student coming from a big city of 10,000 people and going to a very large school I was a bit overwhelmed. I just followed the masses and more or less did what my peers were doing. I was a good high school student but it was suggested that I take college Algebra as that was what was required for veterinary school. I couldn't really understand my professor during lectures so I didn't think he would miss me with 200 other people there. I still did all the homework and went to all the recitation sections and scored an easy A on exams. That was my 'blow-off' class and had I been assigned a good advisor I would have been in a higher-level math class.
In the spring quarter, I needed another biology class and so I took Animal Biology (being pre-vet and all). Unfortunately, I did not know the difference between a 400-level and a 100-level class, so I took Bio 430 because a couple of my friends were taking it. Out of the 120 students in the class, only three of us were first-year students. I was the only one of the group to get a passing grade (a D!), as I was competing against mostly seniors and graduate students. I don't know why my advisor signed off on that course but he did.
Poor advising was part of the reason that I transferred to a much smaller school for my sophomore year and it was a great decision. I got to interact with the faculty much more, had hands-on experiences with the instrumentation and took a lot of leadership roles in many different organizations. It really did change my life.
One of the reasons I am teaching at a small institution such as North Central is that it gives me the opportunity to interact with students to a much greater extent than at a large institution. Cardinal First has student members that are probably not familiar with the way college 'works,' much as I was not. I'm eager to help out students with any questions they have. Although the student might think their question is a dumb one, believe me that the worst thing that can happen is for the question to go unanswered. I now have a child in college, and it is not just first-generation students that have surprising questions that need answering."
Not only will you meet many other first-gen students at North Central through Cardinal First, you will also engage with faculty and staff who were first-generation college students themselves. We encourage you to reach out to them for guidance and learn from their experiences.


The game of politics in America has long been a heated one, with partisan, divisive actions on both sides. In fact, there's not much on Capitol Hill that hasn't been said or done between politicians with opposing stances. However, one U.S. Representative recently suggested settling political problems in a manner that was thought to have disappeared nearly two centuries ago: dueling. During an interview with local Corpus Christi radio host Bob Jones, Texas Congressman Blake Farenthold surprised many with his comments on a group of fellow Republicans (all women) who didn't support efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act. "If it was a guy from south Texas, I might ask them to step outside and settle this Aaron Burr-style," said Farenthold. Although he quickly issued a statement that his remarks were "clearly tongue in cheek," it raised more than a few eyebrows, especially since the duel he was referencing was anything but a lighthearted affair. The most famous duel in American history was the result of decades of long-simmering tensions between two Founding Fathers, Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. Although the two shared similar upbringings (both orphaned at a young age, both talented, precocious students), their political views and personalities diverged early and often. Despite their mutual successes (Hamilton was the nation's first treasury secretary and Burr was its third vice president), by the early 19th century their mutual animosity had spilled over. Burr successfully ran against Hamilton's father-in-law in a race for a U.S Senate seat. Hamilton had (begrudgingly) backed Thomas Jefferson in the 1800 presidential election, a move that showed just how little Hamilton thought of Burr, given his hatred of all things TJ. Hamilton also opposed Burr's later New York gubernatorial campaign. And both men were quick to cut the other down, in both private and public conversations, which put them on a seemingly inevitable collision course. In fairness, the brilliant (and arrogant) Hamilton was an easy person to hate, and his cocky self-assuredness earned him as many enemies as it did fans. By the time Burr fatally shot him on July 11, 1804, Hamilton had been involved in nearly a dozen other "affairs of honor," although none of them had resulted in an actual duel (even when tempers flared, cooler heads usually prevailed for most early, would-be duelists). In fact, defending Hamilton's honor was a family affair. Just a year before Hamilton and Burr met in Weehawken, New Jersey, 19-year-old Philip Hamilton was killed in another duel, after challenging yet another of his father's critics. And while Burr and Hamilton are America's favorite dueling duo, they're far from the only ones who've taken things to the extreme. In fact, the first recorded duel in the nation took place nearly two centuries earlier, when a pair of squabbling colonists in Massachusetts faced off in 1621-just a year after the Mayflower deposited them at Plymouth Colony. Officially, however, the practice of solving your issues 10 paces at a time was frowned upon, and as the number of duels increased in the 1700s, so did legislation aimed at forbidding it. George Washington himself spoke out against it (clearly Hamilton, a Washington prot�g�e, wasn't listening to his boss). Just two years after the Hamilton-Burr duel, another legendary American political figure risked his life to restore honor. But in Andrew Jackson's case, it was his wife's, not his. The future president challenged Kentucky lawyer Charles Dickinson to a duel in 1806, after Dickinson attacked Rachel Jackson as a bigamist (Rachel's divorce from her first husband may or may not have been finalized before she and Jackson wed). Although Dickson was known for his prowess with a firearm, Jackson had his share of dueling scuffles in the past as well, and when the pair met on May 30, Dickinson shot first. But Jackson shot better, and "Old Hickory" lethally wounded his foe. But when it comes to dueling members of Congress, two incidents stand out. By the mid-19th century, much like today, the rhetoric among elected officials could get brutal. To diffuse tensions, the U.S. Senate had adopted an informal rule that legislators could speak freely (and fiercely) about each other, with the understanding that it was all a matter of political discourse. Almost the senatorial version of "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." So, in 1826, when Virginia Senator John Randolph attacked Henry Clay (a long-serving congressman, senator and then-secretary of state), most assumed it was political, not personal. But Randolph seemingly waived his rights to protection, and the duel was on. Randolph may have had second thoughts, however, and conspired with yet another senator to make sure his first shot missed Clay, hoping that would put an end to the duel. Randolph's gun misfired, and Clay asked for a reset. Both men then aimed, fired and missed, finally letting the odd affair come to an end. Maine Congressman Jonathan Cilley wasn't so lucky. In 1836, after Cilley accused a newspaper editor of bribery, the editor sent another representative, William Graves of Kentucky to intercede. Cilley's refusal to meet with Graves seems to have set the Kentuckian off, and despite the pair having no history to speak of, Graves challenged Cilley to a duel. In February 1838, Cilley was killed by Graves' third-round shot, and shortly afterwards Congress put forward legislation banning dueling in Washington, D.C.

(CJES/IFEX) - Irma Inashvili, a leader of the journalistic union Objective, was beaten at a protest rally held in front of the Tbilisi Main City Police department building on 15 June 2009. The incident occurred as the journalist was filming police officers dispersing the protest.
Objective is currently working on a new documentary and Irma had been filming events for it since 9 April.
"The police recognized her and beat her up. Her right hand and leg were hurt. They hit her on the back and neck with rubber truncheons. The police broke all of Objective's three cameras. Surprisingly, Irma was rescued by an unknown police officer," said Nino Tskhoidze, editor-in-chief of the magazine "Emigrants".


Why only semi? One of the biggest problems with drop-shipping is keeping product costs down. Products that are purchased cheaply can make a hefty profit for the seller when they are marked up. This is precisely how Wal-Mart makes billions of dollars from seemingly low-priced goods.
Likewise, if you visit the ASM website during the year, you will find that the program is occasionally unavailable. This is because the training is given for a limited time only, and the registration link expires. However, at any given point in time- state next month- that connection will reactivate and another limited time offer will be posted.
Some affiliates have reported being guaranteed up to 50% commission on their own ASM earnings, or about $2K. With such high profits and profit margins promised to prospective customers, it is clear to see why ASM has eliminated as fast as it has. 1 need only perform a quick search on Google to find reams of affiliate advertising sites touting the advantages of this application.
What this signifies is that, if you get the program and buy stock, market it, and don't earn money after their approaches, ASM will refund you the total cost of this program and they'll refund you for any money you spent on inventory around $10,000.
I haven't seen a promise quite enjoy this one as Matt and Jason want you to offer the system a try completely risk free. I don't say this often, but it really does seem that you've got nothing to lose by providing ASM a shot. If ultimately it won't work out after 6 weeks, then you are out only the time spent.
Jessica posts training materials online that are very affordably priced. What's more, the training materials are coordinated by company; for example, if you want to try out health and beauty product drop-shipping, Jessica provides an ebook on the subject for only $27. Alternately, you can even purchase the complete Amazon Boot Camp for $299.
But let's say you're hoping to buy larger lots of wholesale items and really need to discover what is available through offshore nations like China. Skip McGrath provides a comprehensive 350-page printed training manual named The Entire Amazon Marketing System for $127. He also throws in a whole lot of free bonuses such as a 30-minute training telephone and life membership to his wholesale sourcing website.
