Development and implementation of Internet solutions for education at all levels is essential: elegant, academic extension courses and small business exercising with today's technology must be in line with the precise needs the pupil as well as present needs. Relating to the idea of learning, there are numerous concepts as well as interpretations. This information will discuss many of them, as well as the factors. People confess learning is a relatively permanent change in the determination or ability of man, that occurred due to their activity. It cannot be assigned simply to the process of development and maturation. Regarding even more information, have a peek here or view these additional resources.
Learning is a approach of acquiring new knowledge and expertise. With this process, to be identified as learning, rather than a basic restraining, it must require retention of knowledge or talent. This, involved, enables long term demonstration of the educational capabilities at a long term time. Learning can be described in a much more formal way as a comparatively permanent change in behavior or even potential behavior, based on knowledge. Experts remember that learning may be grasped since the following: like a product, for example the effect of experience or changing enclosed practices; as a process in which behavior is transformed; and as a function since it is the change that occurs when the subject interacts with the info (materials, actions and experiences).
During the 1980's, several major changes within the theme of education and learning were introduced. The very first has been educational as well as psychological orientation pertaining to the theory of teaching. The second was the transition from the predominantly behavioral paradigm or perhaps cognitive direction to another. Lastly, it extended the concept of learning which includes intellectual and economic matters. Speak to your nearby academic establishment or why not look here?
It is necessary you tackle much broader issues in relation to education and learning, because can help simplify the distinctions and similarities, changes in conceptions associated with terms and conditions and also new trends in knowledge. For now, you should determine that will distance education is really a kind of education, referring to the learning process, however this method is done distantly. Several look at the concept of education involved the actual teaching-learning process, relating to modern day interpretations, hence allowing individuals to act appropriately to achieve the relationship along with existing and common ideas.

Georg Carle, Falko Dressler, Richard A. Kemmerer, Hartmut König, Christopher Kruegel and Pavel Laskov, "Manifesto - Network Attack Detection and Defense," Proceedings of Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop 08102 - Network Attack Detection and Defense 2008, Schloss Dagstuhl, Wadern, Germany, March 2008.
This manifesto is the result of the Perspective Workshop Network Attack Detection and Defense held in Schloss Dagstuhl (Germany) from March 2nd – 6th, 2008. The participants of the workshop represent researchers from Austria, France, Norway, the Switzerland, the United States, and Germany who work actively in the field of intrusion detection and network monitoring. The workshop attendee's opinion was that intrusion detection and flow analysis, which have been developed as complementary approaches for the detection of network attacks, should more strongly combine event detection and correlation techniques to better meet future challenges in future reactive security. The workshop participants considered various perspectives to envision future network attack detection and defense. The following topics are seen as important in the future: the development of early warning systems, the introduction of situation awareness, the improvement of measurement technology, taxonomy of attacks, the application of intrusion and fraud detection for web services, and anomaly detection. In order to realize those visions the state of the art, the challenges, and research priorities were identified for each topic by working groups. The outcome of the discussion is summarized in working group papers which are published in the workshop proceedings. The papers were compiled by the editors to this manifesto.


Woman is accused of taking $17K in worthless checks.
Brian Frazier, district attorney for the 37th Judicial District, said his office will recuse itself in the criminal prosecution of a former employee.
Sharon Lovett was recently arrested by Louisiana State Police on charges of malfeasance, theft and injuring public records. She has since bonded out.
Between January 2015 and September 2017, the Worthless Check Division coordinator took at least $17,238 in cash and money orders intended for the DA's office, according to an investigative audit by the Louisiana Legislative Auditor's Office. She reportedly admitted to taking the funds for personal gain.
At this point, Frazier said, the case is an ongoing criminal investigation. He and his employees will provide statements, and his office is the victim of the crime.
He said he reported information about the theft to the Louisiana Legislative Auditor's Office on Thursday, Sept. 14, and by Monday, Sept. 18, the case was being investigated.
Frazier said the state attorney general's office will prosecute the case.
Lovett's duties included maintaining case files and accepting payments made to the DA for worthless checks written to local vendors.
Vendors who received worthless checks could submit them to the DA's office for collection. She would received copies of the checks and document them in the office's case management software.
Lovett mailed letters to people who issued worthless checks with information about the amount owed, service charges and late penalties. Failure to pay would result in legal charges.
She collected the payments and related fees, issued receipts, recorded the payments and prepared them for deposit. Another employee took the payments to the bank. She also added those who failed to pay, or those whose payments were not properly recorded in the case software. to court dockets.
The LLA report also states that Lovett said she got rid of receipt books to hide the amount taken.
In the only remaining receipt book, she identified 11 payments that she took for personal use. She also named 16 case files that were paid in full from which she had taken money.
Upon further review, investigators found that $4,015 in payments Lovett said she took were, in fact, deposited into the DA's bank account. The remaining $8,013 she listed was not deposited to a DA's bank account.
She was fired Sept. 18.
Several people who had made worthless check payments provided affidavits or documentation regarding their cases. LLA investigators found that an additional $1,455 paid to the DA's office hadn't been deposited.
Betrween January 2015 and August 2017, it appears Lovett entered an additional 45 payments totaling $7,770 into the case management software as "paid," but bank records show these payments were never deposited.
In total, investigators believe she took $9,468 in cash and money orders for her personal use. She also recorded an additional $7,770 in the case management software that does not appear to have been deposited.

va ser un reformador social danès-estatunidenc, periodista i fotògraf de documentals socials. Va contribuir significativament a la causa de la reforma urbana a Amèrica a principis del segle XX. És conegut per utilitzar el seu talent fotogràfic i periodístic per ajudar els pobres a la ciutat de Nova York. Aquests van ser objecte de la majoria dels seus escrits i fotografies. Va aprovar la implementació de "habitatges model" a Nova York amb l'ajuda de l'humanitari Lawrence Veiller. A més, com un dels defensors més famosos de la fotografia casual, és considerat un dels pares de la fotografia a causa de la seva adopció del flash a la fotografia.

Mentre vivia a Nova York, Riis va experimentar la pobresa i es va convertir en un periodista policial escrivint sobre la qualitat de vida als barris marginals. Va intentar pal·liar les males condicions de vida de la gent pobre exposant les seves condicions de vida a les classes mitjanes i altes.

Biografia

Primers anys
Nascut el 1849 a Ribe, Dinamarca, Jacob Riis va ser el tercer de 15 fills (un dels quals, una neboda òrfena, va ser acollit) de Niels Edward Riis, mestre d'escola i escriptor del diari local Ribe, i Carolina Riis, una mestressa de casa. Entre els 15, només Jacob, una germana, i la germana adoptiva van sobreviure fins al segle XX. Riis va ser influenciat pel seu pare, qui el va fer llegir per aprendre anglès la revista All the Year Round de Charles Dickens i les novel·les de James Fenimore Cooper.

Jacob va tenir una infància feliç però va viure una tragèdia als onze anys quan el seu germà Teodor, un any més jove, es va ofegar. Mai va oblidar el dolor de la seva mare.

Amb onze o dotze anys donava tots els diners que tenia i els donava a una pobre família que vivia en una casa humil.

Encara que el seu pare esperava que Jacob tingués una carrera literària, Jacob volia ser fuster. Quan tenia 16 anys, es va enamorar d'Elisabeth Gjørtz, la filla adoptiva de 12 anys del propietari de l'empresa per a la qual treballava com a aprenent de fuster. El pare va desaprovar les seves decisions i Riis es va veure obligat a viatjar a Copenhaguen per completar el seu aprenentatge de fusteria. Riis va tornar a Ribe l'any 1868 als 19 anys. Desanimat per la poca disponibilitat laboral a la regió i el desfavor de Gjørtz a la seva proposta de matrimoni, Riis va decidir emigrar als Estats Units.

Emigració als Estats Units
Riis va emigrar a Amèrica el 1870, quan tenia 21 anys, buscant feina com a fuster. Primer va viatjar en vaixell des de Copenhaguen fins a Glasgow.

Va desembarcar en Nova York el 5 de Juny, on hi havia milers d'immigrants. Vint-i-quatre mil persones buscasen vivenda en zones urbanes.

Riis va trobar feina com a fuster a Brady's Bend Iron Works al riu Allegheny sobre Pittsburgh. Després d'uns dies, va començar a explotar la mineria per augmentar el sou, però ràpidament va reprendre la fusteria. Assabentat el 19 de juliol de 1870 que França havia declarat la guerra a Alemanya, esperava que Dinamarca s'unís a França per venjar la presa prusiana de Schleswig, i va decidir lluitar per França. Va tornar a Nova York i, després d'haver empenyorat la majoria de les seves possessions i sense diners, va intentar allistar-se al consolat francès, però li van dir que no hi havia cap pla per enviar un exèrcit voluntari des d'Amèrica. Va sortir de Nova York fins al Fordham College.

Després d'un breu període de treball agrícola i feines ocasionals a Mount Vernon, Nova York, Riis va tornar a Nova York. Era indigent, tot i així, va trobar feina a una fàbrica de maons de Little Washington a Nova Jersey i va estar-hi durant sis setmanes fins que va saber que un grup de voluntaris anaven a la guerra. Aleshores va marxar amb ells.

Periodisme incipient
Riis va veure un anunci, a un diari de Long Island, on oferien faina per un editor. El va sol·licitar i va ser nomenat editor de la ciutat. Ràpidament es va adonar de per què la feina havia estat disponible: el redactor en cap era deshonest i endeutat. Riis va marxar en dues setmanes.

De nou a l'atur, Riis va tornar al Barri dels Cinc Punts. Estava assegut davant de la Cooper Union un dia quan el director de l'escola on abans havia après a telegrafia el va veure. Va dir que si Riis no tenia res millor a fer, aleshores la New York News Association estava buscant un aprenent. Riis va anar a una entrevista. Malgrat la seva aparença desordenada, el van enviar a una tasca de prova: observar i escriure sobre un dinar a la Casa Astor. Riis va cobrir l'esdeveniment de manera competent i va aconseguir la feina.

Riis va poder escriure sobre les comunitats d'immigrants pobres. Va fer bé la seva feina i va ser ascendit a redactor d'un setmanari, el News. Simultàniament, Riis va rebre una carta de casa que relatava que els seus germans grans, una tieta, i el promès d'Elisabeth Gjørtz havien mort. Riis va escriure a Elisabeth per proposar-li un negoci, i amb 75 dòlars dels seus estalvis, va comprar la companyia News.

Riis va treballar molt al seu diari i aviat va pagar els seus deutes. Mentrestant, va rebre una acceptació provisional d'Elisabeth, que li va demanar que vingués a Dinamarca per ella. Convenientment, els polítics es van oferir a recomprar el diari per cinc vegades el preu que havia pagat Riis; així va poder arribar a Dinamarca amb una quantitat substancial de diners.

Després d'uns mesos a Dinamarca, la parella acabada de casar va arribar a Nova York. Riis va treballar breument com a editor d'un diari del sud de Brooklyn, el Brooklyn News.

Fotografia
Riis feia temps que es preguntava com mostrar la miseria de la qual escrivia amb més vivacitat del que les seves paraules podien expressar. Va intentar dibuixar, però era incompetent en això. Les lents de les càmeres de la dècada de 1880 eren lentes, igual que l'emulsió de plaques fotogràfiques; Per tant, la fotografia no semblava servir de res per informar sobre les condicions de vida en interiors foscos. A principis de 1887, Riis es va sorprendre en llegir que "s'havia descobert una manera de fer fotos amb llanterna. El racó més fosc podria ser fotografiat d'aquesta manera". La innovació alemanya, d'Adolf Miethe i Johannes Gaedicke, era una barreja de magnesi amb clorat de potassi i una mica de sulfur d'antimoni per a més estabilitat; la pols s'utilitzava en un dispositiu semblant a una pistola que disparava cartutxos. Aquesta va ser la introducció de la fotografia amb flash.

Reconeixent el potencial del flash, Riis va informar a un amic, el doctor John Nagle, cap de l'Oficina d'Estadístiques Vitals del Departament de Salut de la ciutat, que també era un gran fotògraf aficionat. Nagle va trobar dos amics fotògrafs més, Henry Piffard i Richard Hoe Lawrence, i tots quatre van començar a fotografiar els barris marginals. El seu primer informe es va publicar al diari de Nova York The Sun el 12 de febrer de 1888; es tractava d'un article sense signar de Riis. Les "imatges del crim i la misèria de la ciutat de nit i de dia" es descriuen com una base per a una conferència anomenada "L'altra meitat: com viu i mor a Nova York". L'article es va il·lustrar amb dotze dibuixos basats en les fotografies.

Riis i els seus fotògrafs van ser dels primers nord-americans a utilitzar la fotografia amb flash. Les làmpades de pistola eren perilloses i semblaven amenaçadores, aviat serien substituïdes per un altre mètode pel qual Riis va encendre pols de magnesi en una paella. El procés va implicar treure la tapa de la lent, encendre la pols de flaix i substituir la tapa de la lent; el temps necessari per encendre el flaix en pols de vegades va permetre una imatge borrosa visible creada pel mateix. El primer equip de Riis, aviat es va cansar de les darreres hores, i Riis va haver de buscar una altra ajuda. Nagle va suggerir que Riis hauria de ser autosuficient, així que el gener de 1888 Riis va pagar 25 dòlars per una càmera de caixa 4×5, suports per a plaques, un trípode i equips per desenvolupar i imprimir. Va portar l'equip al cementiri del camp del terrisser a Hart Island per practicar, fent dues exposicions. El resultat va ser seriosament sobreexposat.

Durant tres anys, Riis va combinar les seves pròpies fotografies amb altres d'encàrrecs de professionals, donacions d'aficionats i compra de diapositives de llanterna, tot això va constituir la base del seu arxiu fotogràfic. A causa de la feina nocturna, va poder fotografiar els pitjors elements dels barris marginals de Nova York, els carrers foscos, els apartaments i les immersions de "cervesa rancia", i va documentar les dificultats a què s'enfronten els pobres i els criminals, especialment als voltants. del famós carrer Mulberry.

Així, va convertir-se en el pare del foto-documentalisme social.

Nairda's lyrics could use some work, but Felix had to admit - the guy sang with heart, dammit. He twisted around in his chair to look at Nairda as he finished his rap. "Hey! Yeah, we've got chemistry! Loads of it! I can feel it too! We can be Bonnie and Clyde! Just stop these goddamn crazy pricks from killing me!"
Axel nodded. "Yeah, right here..." He fished his cell phone out of his pocket and flipped it open, then winced. "Damn..." The phone's screen had a large crack running through it, but at least it was still working. He quickly tapped out a text to Tony:
Have Lily. Didn't see or hear anything about bomb. Ideas?
He closed the phone and put it back in his jeans, then looked at Emilena. "The bomb, it's... it's still around here somewhere. I have to try and stop it. But if you still want to leave, I... I won't stop you." Axel swallowed and turned to Lily. "If she does, you should go with her. Staying here... it'll be dangerous."
Pterano
The Fabulous Fearsome Flyer
Tony had been waiting patiently in the generator room for the past half hour or so. It was approaching the 40 minute mark now, and he couldn't hear anything further from outside, namely because he was starting to doze. Had the attack failed? But no... the shield they had erected didn't last very long. It soon suffered critical failure, and dissipated like early morning mist. The mob had insiders everywhere, and their insiders had killed the Purifiers manning the shield generator and promptly ensured it could never be used again. Rocket and mortar fire resumed, with the rumblings in the street indicating the mafia were bringing forward a large tank with a bulldozer blade fitted to its front. It clanked rapidly down the main avenue, heading right for the front gate as its 88 mm gun opened fire on the compound's doors.
The vibrations from outside stirred Tony back to wakefulness, and he shook his head, wondering what time it was. Feeling his phone vibrate in his pocket, the ferret reached in and pulled it out in bored fashion, tapping the screen and seeing Axel's message. Oh right... about time. Tapping back Get back here. I'll start the reactor to blow this place if you're ready. he sighed, then slid the phone back into where it had come from. Still leaning against the mammoth generator, the ferret gazed out into the empty room, his sense of unease and low morale only getting lower with each passing second.
Turning, he silently began throwing some switches and twisting some knobs, listening as the reactors rumbled to life with deep, throaty hums, awakening after decades of disuse. He was only starting them up, not raising them to critical level just yet, but that could easily be done in a matter of seconds, and then he'd sabotage the whole thing to ensure they couldn't be shut down again.

Emilena folded her arms. "I Did not come thus far to just trust that Lily can keep herself alive as an unarmored human. Consider this done once we've gotten her to safety."
Lily smiled at her. Emilena expected Lily to ask why Emilena was doing this, like everyone else had, but somehow she already understood.
Lily turned to Axel. "I'd never leave you. But I don't understand...how are you planning on destroying the machine? That's not possible...unless that's where the others are right now."
Axel shook his head. "No... No, Soren and the others are still out in the city. Tony's down setting this place to blow." He frowned. "Wait, what do you mean? Why would it be impossible? I mean, once we find where they're keeping it, we just need to... to sabotage it. Right?"
He walked over and put a hand on Lily's shoulder. "Look, I know it might be hard for you to remember, but did you hear anything, anything at all about where they're keeping it? Some kind of storage area or... or lab maybe?" Axel swallowed. "We're running out of time..."
Marcus looked up as the shield overhead broke down. The mortar fire continued down and hammered against the walls and grounds of the compound. Several Purifiers guarding the walls flinched, and made to run for cover. The doberman snarled and fired in the air. "Don't run! We have to keep them out as long as we can!" Turning back to look out at the grounds, he spat and raised his radio. He hadn't wanted to play this card so early, but since the shield wasn't working... "Sniper teams!"
From the tops of the high rises dotted around the industrial district, Purifiers armed with sniper rifles stared down at the action below. "Here," several voices returned.
"Have any teams managed to locate the mortars yet?"
"Team A."
"Team C."
Marcus nodded to himself. It made sense, they were the two teams posted the furthest away from the base. "Take them out. And make sure no more take their place." From far in the distance, there was a series of tiny, indistinct pops, and the mortar fire abruptly stopped. "Other teams, scan the approach and get ready to fire. They've got to make their move soon..." Marcus frowned when he looked up and saw the tank rolling down the main path to the front gates. The gun opened fire on them, and they started to crumple inwards... then the tank rolled over one of the mines that had been set up, and was promptly blown up. Marcus grunted as the burning wreckage crashed to the floor. Did they really think it was going to be that easy? He could only hope the mob would be as careless when they began moving across the grounds. Turning to the Purifier next to him he barked, "Find someone to repair that gate!"
"Axel..." whispered Lily softly. "It's off-site. They drained me and sent the energy via wires, but the bomb itself isn't in this base. They weren't going to leave their trump card where everyone knew to look..."

(Purifier Base)
Aaron swore as a piece of shrapnel kicked up by the mortar fire pinged off his helmet.
He aimed at at one of the attackers about 500 meters out and squeezed the trigger. The German Shepherd had never shot at anything so far away but the HMD and its associated scope made him into a near-perfect sniper.
The Poodle next to Marcus slung his rifle across his back and nodded.
He then darted into the base where several of the Purifiers were waiting for orders.
"Drop yer cocks and grab yer socks!" he shouted. "One of you fuckers needs to fix the gate!"
The troops immediately leapt to attention and filed out to get their tools.
The Canine sighed and pulled out a burner from his pocket. Yanking the small metal tab, he took a deep draw of the now smoking tobacco.

"Shove it up your ass!" Soren snapped. If he wasn't holding the chair, he would have unslung his rifle and smacked the fucker right in the groin with the muzzle of his rifle.
"Not interested in a bigot like you," Anne replied. She smiled, Nairda, for all his obnoxiousness, was actually not a bad rapper. She turned to the three women. "Look, could someone open the door? We don't have all day!"

mArita went and opened the door, a so the others could carry Felix out. Nairdas singing was actually quite decent, she thought. ' you know nairda, once you get that voicebox of yours fixed, you should take up singing as a career' she said as she looked down the hallway, at of which and staircase could be seen, or at least the top of one.. ' lets get this over with, so we can go find tony and the others, hopefully they are having better luck finding lilly than we are with this guy..

Soren and Anne quickly hustled him down the stairs.
Soon, they arrived at the "ground level" of the abandoned bakery. Grass grew from between the cracks in the decrepit lot
Small scorch marks, drug vials and beer bottles indicated that this area had probably been used for late night parties more than once. Pockmarks and cracks in the walls hinted that the parties had gotten violent multiple times.
Anne and Soren grunted as they lifted the chair onto the concrete ledge. On the other side was a drop of at least 150 feet to the ground level where more industrial buildings and city infrastructure lay. All it took was a single push from the two to send Felix on a one-way trip to hell.
marita pulled out her phone and sent axel and tony a text' -have info on compound thanks to a purifer we caught. have you found lily yet? the sooner you get her out of there the better Marita.' ' hopefully that text gets to them ok..
« Reply #1529 on: April 16, 2014, 05:42:03 AM »
Felix screamed as he plunged down the huge drop, landing with a wet crunch and turning into what looked like a red soup. The world would never know what adventures he and Nairda could have had together.
Axel didn't say anything for a long time. He stared back at her, his eyes wide. "Wha... no. No, no, that's not..." He trailed off when he realised how much sense it made. Why would they leave their main weapon in a place as well known as this? Axel slumped back against one of the pods. "Oh god..." He thought of the thousands of innocent people that were about to die... and it occurred to him numbly that he was about to, as well.
He felt a vibration in his pocket. Taking out his phone, he saw the text from Marita. Blinking back tears, Axel texted her back: Got her. BOMB NOT HERE. GET SOMEWHERE SAFE. As he sent it, he saw the time on the screen. They had 10 minutes left. There was no way they could stop the bomb now. They'd lost. He swallowed. "I guess that's it, then." Axel looked at Lily. "I'm... I'm sorry..."
He started, then glanced between her and Emilena. "Wait! Holy shit, I think I know a way we can..." Axel ran a hand through his hair. "Lily, remember before, when you ran into this place? That lab, I... I don't know if it was the walls, or what... But while we were in there, the Purifiers set off a, a kind of mini-pulse, and it didn't affect me!"
Axel swung his gaze to Emilena. "If we can get there, then maybe... maybe we'd be okay!"
they've got Lily' Marita said, upon receiving Axel's text ' problem is the bombs not there. they must have movced it off site ' we need to get out of here and find a safe place to bunker down" she said to tghe others its 1150, so we have 10 minutes. we have to move NOW!
_ so they have lily' Marie began ' but they didnt find the bomb? Oh Crap" rose replied.' don't worry about that.. we need to get out of here' marita said..
(OOC: Thanks, felt inspired when I finally got one hour of free alone time in my apartment and wanted to do something hilariously embarrassing to celebrate!)
Bowing his head sadly, Nairda dropped his mic over the side of the building to rest with Mr. Died.
"Well, let's go to the base and finish this," he said, steely-eyed, before instantly becoming wild-eyed and shouting, 'It's fixed!!! I can speak normally again! The rap was too intense for the language filter, and it broke down! I can talk without randomly inserted 'biiiatch'es!"
Tears welled in his eyes. "I've been saved....by the power of rap..."
Emilena narrowed her eyes. "That's right; the lab is sealed against psionics, and this is a psionically-charged pulse. That could work."
She peeked out the doorway and plugged two Purifiers who had been running past the door down the hallway. "We might be able to figure out how much time we've left once we're there.
Lily hugged Axel nervously. "We've got to get you to safety. I don't you to die because of...something I played a big part in operating..." her voice wavered.
Axel put his hands on Lily's shoulders and looked her in the eyes. "I don't want you to blame yourself for this. Ever. Okay? What they did to you... You didn't ask for that. It wasn't your fault." He lightly ran a hand through her hair then started to lead her towards the door. "Besides, big scary guy like me, I'm not gonna give up that easy," Axel continued, giving her a nervous smile, before ducking out next to Emilena.
He nodded at what she said. "Right, 10 minutes to get across to the lab... we can do it." The hallway was clear, so Axel slunk out and pulled a shotgun from the grip of one of the Purifiers Emilena had just shot. Shouldering it, he turned to the two women and gestured. "C'mon, let's get going before more of them turn up..."
In the center of the city, an indistinct white van was parked on the side of the road. It had been there most of the day, and pedestrians walked past it without giving the vehicle a second thought. Stored in the back, a large, box-shaped structure glowed blue, the colour pulsating like a heartbeat. On the top was a blank digital screen. It beeped, and suddenly numbers flashed onscreen - counting down. 00:10:00... 0:09:59
In a car across the street, Rhaegson smiled and put a silver, remote-like object back in his jacket pocket. A burly man in the driver's seat next to him frowned. "You didn't need to be here... shouldn't you be somewhere safer? There'll be some fighting back, you know."
Rhaegson looked at him and shrugged. "I don't want you to have all the fun. Everyone's in position, anyway. Anyone who fights back is going to be put down. And the mob's being kept busy back at the compound. It's all going to plan." He looked down at his watch. 10 minutes left...
(OOC - I'm assuming Doctor Jiang didn't quite program the vocoder properly and it just reverted back to normal.)
Soren looked over the edge. He turned away, not out of disgust but out of indifference. "Okay, let's finish this shit off."
He and Anne returned into the bakery just as Marita spoke. The Human's eyes widened. "Okay, let's find the bomb, disable it and then slaughter as many Purifiers as we can find!"
"But the pulse!" Anne cried out. "We can't search a six square mile city of forty million people in ten minutes!"
"Once that pulse hits, we'll know who the Purifiers are. We'll strike then."
Anne's eye twitched and stomped over to Soren. "Is that all you care about?" she growled, her ears pinned and swiveled back. "Revenge? This isn't about your fucking workshop any more! If this pulse goes off, Axel and myself could very well be killed! How goddamned selfish do you have to be to not give a flying shit about your friend and only about your workshop! Put aside your fucking revenge-boner and actually consider what could happen if these freaks get the upper hand!"
Soren could only gape as Anne verbally ripped him a new asshole.
shes right' marie spoke up. " this more than about any of our petty gripes anymore. there's several million folks who have augments in one form or another, and you're willing to see all of them maimed ior even killed? what kind of nut are you?'
we need to get to somewhere thats shielded from am emp, likw underground, for instance, or in a bunker..'marita said ' we need to move guys.. argue once we're safe..
"There is another way..." Nairda said, steely-eyed. "We don't have to search the entire city if we destroy the entire city..."
He tried to think of how they could do that and drew a blank. "Just providing a third option," he chuckled nervously. "Heh heh...luckily I'm not the boss so I don't have to make the call."
Emilena led the way towards the laboratory, and they reached it via brisk trot in a few minutes.
Too bad at this point there were several personnel present; scientists, specialized guards, anyone who worked for the Purifiers but had an augment for job purposes had relocated here. Emilena was about to suggest they try to blend in when she spotted a few individuals who were rogue cops and would almost certainly recognize her.
"What are you doing?" squealed Lily as Emilena hoisted her gun.
"We're using the only thing we've got; the element of surprise," Emilena replied. There was no time for anything else.
Rolling into the room, Emilena targeted the two guards with heavy weapons first, then dove for cover hoping to get a clear shot on her former colleagues.
Back in the other room, Lupis stirred. Any other being would be dead, but his regenerative factor was slowly working its genetic magic. Anything short of a beheading was recoverable; he couldn't move yet, but he'd be able to soon.
Then a shadow loomed over him. Extasis was back. Grinning grimly, Exstasis drew a knife and placed it on Lupis' neck. He was the only person in the world who knew Lupis' only weakness.
Lupis' eyes went wide and he shook uncontrollably. He tried to speak but he wasn't healthy enough.
"Don't worry..." Exstasis whispered back, guessing what Lupis wished to convey "...if we ever want you back we can just clone you."
The knife tore through skin and bone.
One of the guards started to turn, startled, as the sound of Emilena's gunfire filled the room. He started to raise the Uzi that he was clutching, aiming at her as she went for cover. Charging in after her, Axel swung the barrel of the shotgun to face the guard and pulled the trigger - the blast tore the Purifier's arm from his shoulder, a red mist spraying out over the terrified scientist who was standing next to him. Gritting his teeth, Axel awkwardly racked the shotgun and fired it again, sending a tattooed poodle flying backwards with a gaping hole in his chest.
The rest of the guards had managed to raise their own weapons by this point, and started to return fire, taking cover on the other side of the lab. Swearing, Axel kicked a table over and pulled Lily down behind it, his breaths growing panicked as bullets pinged over their heads. A clock on the wall behind them was shot down, the glass shattering. Axel saw the time as it tumbled to the floor, and he swore again. "6 minutes!" he shouted across to Emilena. "We've gotta clear this room now!"
Tony pushed off from the generator, sighing again as he glanced at his phone. No new messages... "Let's get outta here." he stated.
"What? But you haven't set the reactors to blow yet!" Vergil responded.
"Yeah well... we have ten minutes left... which is 20 minutes too long before these reactors go off if I set them now. Meaning we've already lost. IF Axel and Emilena and Lily were coming back here, they would've been here ten minutes ago. It was timed beforehand... and now they're not here. Something's clearly gone wrong. No messages, no calls, no fucking nothing!" Tony elevated his voice at the end there, stamping his foot paw into the ground. "Best we can do is hope they weren't killed and pull back into the tunnels to avoid the pulse... cause if my phone gets fried again... not that that's the worst of my worries..." he murmured here, thinking about how many were about to die.
Tapping out a quick We're pulling back. No idea where you are. Lost contact. If in trouble, let us know. to Axel, the ferret headed back for the manhole cover, knowing he was gonna lose reception once he entered the tunnel.
"Go ahead." Tony nodded, letting Vergil hop down first. He waited an extra minute before descending the ladder, waiting to see if Axel needed help.
Emilena ducked under the table, shot someone in the foot, then shot them in the face when they helpfully fell to the ground and exposed it.
We need another advantage... she thought. With the remaining bullets in her clip, she sniped as many lights as she could to increase concealment. Several scientists were radioing for help; this served only to expose them to her line of fire.
As she focused on gunning down the scientists, she didn't notice the last pocket of rsistance, the small cadre of rogue officers who had taken cover behind the computer array in the far corner of the lab. One of them primed a grenade and, under the cover of darkness, chucked it at Axel and Lily.
"We're on an elevated platform. There's no basement!" Soren snapped.
Anne looked around. "There's got to be a metal lined room somewhere we can hide!"
"We don't have the time! We'll need to get to the ground level as fast as possible! There's an elevated highway nearby that goes to telecommunications center on the ground level. If we can just carjack someone, we'll be good to go!"
Anne looked at stolen watch. "We better hurry then!"
"Right!" Soren took off in a sprint for the main road. "Everyone else, when you see a car coming, throw something at them. Once they stop, I'll carjack them!"
He readied his rifle and clicked off the safety.

Stephen's knowledge and passion for health and wellness and clean supplements is truly admirable and incredible. I am very blessed to have had the opportunity to learn from him and I'm delighted to announce that I will be working with Terranova in 2016. Anyone who reads my FACEBOOK PAGE will know that I use his LIFE DRINK and I'm also a huge fan of his new kids vitamins called Green Child.
Stephen is an incredibly busy man but I find his energy very calming so I wanted to know how he manages to find a balance in his day to day life.
Probably the closest description I can find for this would be that I strive for a 'holistically balanced' lifestyle. What I mean by this is that it's my goal to give equal emphasis to diet, exercise, work, sleep, mental health and spiritual wellbeing. I use the word 'goal' because I am not a master at getting certain parts of this right. Also, I'm a tad compulsive, so I really have to hold myself back from taking good things to an inflexible extreme. This may be better than taking bad things to an inflexible extreme, but either extreme is not what we should be aiming for. On a dietary side, I am virtually vegan, and I don't smoke or consume alcohol. And it will come as no surprise that my family and I use food supplements and rely on natural medicine for the vast majority of health circumstances.
I'm lucky that I am not a fan of naughty foods. I don't ever eat dessert and it's not about denial as I really don't want sweet things anyway. My beautiful and beloved wife is Indian and I have constant access to authentically traditional vegan Indian food. Thankfully, I adore both hers and her mother's cooking, and there are so many dishes that they prepare that would be on my 'desert island' menu (for me, the hotter the better!). Other than this, I would say that Japanese food would come a close second.
I taught Chinese martial arts for many years during my 20's, and my body still misses it. I am one of those who is inclined to be a compulsive gym goer (for cross training). I have not been able to maintain this recently, so I have been doing exercise at home, and I take long walks with my wife every morning before the craziness of the day begins.
Because of the insanity of my work and international travel schedule, I can confidently state that from time to time I fail miserably in getting the work and sleep portion of the above-mentioned 'balanced lifestyle' goal in line…which means that the mental side suffers too. Most importantly, I have a 10 year old son, and he deserves to have my time and attention – and this should be quality time and attention.
I'm so, so fortunate to be aware of the role that diet, nutrition, food supplements and herbal medicine can play in dramatically improving stress tolerance. But it's still important to practice stress-management techniques that involve re-training the mind to work for you and not against you. I used to meditate on a regular basis in martial arts, but fell out of practice decades ago. However, now I practice EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), which involves tapping on certain points on the body to release stress and certain unhelpful patterns of the mind and emotions. I also am practicing certain yogic breathing exercises. Of course, exercise is also a powerful stress management tool that I utilise. It's my intention to re-start my meditation practice too.
I have never been a big goal setter, because I find that it can distract me from whatever challenge is in front of me at the time. I prefer to watch the signs in my life along the way in order to dictate the next steps for me. In fact, it was never my goal to create a supplement company, but circumstances led me to realise that this was exactly what I should do, so I did it. I suppose, each process that was I had to complete in order to accomplish this was an immediate goal in itself, but to me if feels just like a necessary process to go through. I suppose you might call it a 'one day at a time' kind of reality that still manages to effectively accommodate major project, decisions and life changes.
Every day for me is busy, and I tend to work 7 days a week until maybe 10pm, with some breaks during the day. Having a tea with my wife is probably the most relaxing thing that I am able to do on a regular basis. Sharing such a simple activity with someone you love, that doesn't involve hypnotizing oneself with a TV or similar, creates a unique closeness… and for me, closeness is so relaxing. I also find sharing activities with my wife and son very de-stressing.
Although I work a lot on the weekends, we always leave time for family activities that our son will enjoy. He's usually up for just about anything, but strangely enough, he's mad about gardening chores work like raking leaves, so this often features on the activity menu! More than anything, he just wants to spend time with us regardless of what we are doing, and this is exactly what he deserves to have frequent access to.

You are here: Home / Business / "The Pandesal Kid" named Delmer!

"The Pandesal Kid" named Delmer!
My daughter and I did our early routine, walking in our neighborhood early in the morning. When we were almost home a kid showed up on the corner and yelled "Ate you want pandesal? It's still hot". I said to Jean we will just buy later at the bakery shop since it's too early. While following the path of that kid, I told Jean I think we'll just buy so that the kid will make a little bit of money. So we then called the kid and told him we will buy some. I asked him how much per pandesal? He said it's 2 pesos each Te (kids here called the older to them female "Ate" or "Te" – short for Ate). So we bought 20 pieces. I gave him 50 pesos and told him to keep the change.
Delmer
Then I was asking him what's his name? Where does he live? How old is he? And what school is he attending? He answered my query. His name is Delmer. He lives in Maa, a bit far from us. So I asked him if he walk from Maa to our subdivision? He said yes. Wow, he must starts waking so really early. He said he's 13 years old. He's attending public school in Maa. The sad part is he already quit school before and now again because the mom gets mad at him every time he comes home late. He said he comes home late due to he had to stay later in school because the teacher still teaches the slow reader kids. And he is one of them. So to satisfy his mom, he quit school. I guess the mom would rather have Delmer sell pandesal than go to school everyday. Delmer looks like a really good kid and very respectful. He probably thanked me a dozen times.
Delmer the pandesal kid
I was really telling Delmer before we walked separately away from him that he should try to go back to school next year and not stop. I told him if he won't finish up at least high school he will be continue on getting lower job since he had no education. His mom works as a stay out helper for somebody near their house. The dad's job was collecting plastic bottles, cardboard and metal stuff (They call it here "bote bakal"). So really they don't make that much. I think he said he has 2 other siblings.
It really makes me sad that so many kids here have to stop school because they have to help making money for the family at a young age. It's one of those unending cycles going on here in the Philippines.
I wish those families that struggle to live in the city will go back to the province and try to raise poultry and pigs for meat. And make a small garden for a start then maybe expand later to sell. Sad part for so many of these people they don't want to live in the farm. Even though they struggle living in the city, still they stay. I know for one family, our laundry lady, they have a farm not far from here in Davao. But she said she doesn't want to live there because it's too quiet for her. Her husband and kids said the same thing.
Anyway, I'm really hoping for the best for Delmer. By the way, he is a 5th grade student. I'm really hoping he will continue his studies next year and will continue on until he graduates high school. I'm crossing my fingers for him. So many kids like Delmer here in the Philippines. Hoping for the best to all of them too.

Eros International To Buy Back Shares Worth Up To 20 Mn In Us Market
Eros International to buy back shares worth up to $20 mn in US market
For representation.
New Delhi: The board of media and entertainment firm Eros International on Monday announced a share repurchase program worth up to $20 million (approx Rs 138.86 crore) on the New York Stock Exchange.
The announcement comes after Credit Analysis and Research Limited (CARE), on last Wednesday, downgraded the ratings assigned to the bank facilities of Eros International's Indian arm Eros International Media on account of a delay in servicing of bank loans for the month of April 2019 and May 2019.
"The Eros board of directors believes the equity value of Eros International is seriously undervalued in the public markets; and accordingly, the board has approved a share buyback program of up to $20 million of outstanding common shares," Eros International Media said in a regulatory filing on Monday.
Eros International Group Chairman and CEO Kishore Lulla said, "We now have a strong financial and operating position and our management team are making it a priority to work with CARE Ratings, the regulatory agency, to have our credit rating revised upwards in due course"
Regarding share repurchase announcement, the company said it "may be made at management's discretion from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.
"The repurchase program has no time limit and may be suspended for periods or discontinued at any time. Eros' share repurchase program does not obligate it to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time".
Shares of Eros International Media on Monday fell 9.90 per cent on the BSE to hit its 52-week low and the lower circuit of Rs 40.95 apiece.
The company's shares had plummeted 15 per cent on Friday despite the company's clarification regarding CARE ratings action.

Stage director – Robert Carsen.
Lyric Opera of Chicago, Civic Opera House, Chicago, Illinois, USA. Tuesday, March 14th, 2017.
This was my second visit of the 2016 – 17 season to Chicago's Lyric Opera and on paper this was a most alluring prospect, with three exceptional singing-actors on stage together to perform Tchaikovsky's lyric scenes. What struck me about Lyric's audience tonight was the welcome diversity of ages. Clearly, opera has a very bright future in this culture-loving city.

The staging for this Yevgeny Onegin was the work of Robert Carsen. Originally produced for the New York Met, it is currently owned by Toronto's Canadian Opera Company. The overwhelming sense that one leaves with was the sparseness of the visuals. Very often, the props were just a desk or a bed or some chairs, within a simple box which was at times atmospherically lit. Consequently, this placed a lot of emphasis on the principals to carry the story effectively. Indeed, the great open voids of the set reminded me of Carsen's recent Royal Opera Rosenkavalier but, in contrast with that show, I found here that we did have genuine chemistry between the principals. Certainly, in Mariusz Kwiecień's Onegin, Ana María Martínez' Tatyana and Charles Castronovo's Lensky, we had singing-actors who were able to create fully-rounded characters within this minimalist environment. Furthermore, we had characters of astounding complexity – in all three cases we saw their characters embark on a journey and draw us, as audience members, into their world. Immediately after Onegin rejected Tatyana, the lights came up for intermission and reminded me that I was in fact in the theatre, such was the immediacy of the two performances that I forgot that I was watching two individuals portraying fictional characters, but instead, felt that I was living Tatyana's despair with her.

I found there was one issue with the staging and that was the use of leaves in the opening few scenes to carpet the stage. I had a sense that it may well have affected the acoustic properties of the set, swallowing some of the voices that were placed further back on the stage. This isn't the first time I've experienced this with Carsen – there was a similar issue in the use of dirt on stage in his Paris Elektra. It certainly looked attractive but I'm not convinced it was in the best interests of the cast. Undoubtedly, the link that Carsen makes between Onegin being seen on stage alone as the curtain goes up, ripping up a letter that then leads to the leaves falling is most striking, perhaps indicating the coldness of Onegin's personality – the emptiness of the set suggesting the emptiness of his soul. Above all, these are three individuals who, despite being surrounded by people, are extremely lonely. Before the duel, Lensky is seen alone, writing a poem; at the start of the final scene, so is Tatyana, reading a letter. There is something there about being alone and not being able to express oneself except through the written word.

This was my first introduction to Argentine conductor Alejo Pérez. He has a flourishing career and has already appeared at some very prestigious addresses. There was much to admire in his conducting including judicious use of rubato and the dances were nicely springy. And yet the tempi that he chose for the earlier part of the opera felt far too slow. This is music that should surge with youthful vigour, but here it was lacking in energy and passion despite the excellent performances given by the principals. There were times at which this approach worked – in Lensky's big aria, Castronovo was given the space to work magic, which he most certainly did. The winds played well for Pérez but intonation in the strings was often patchy.

It almost goes without saying that Kwiecień's acting ability is not in doubt, but what was notable tonight was how different and how psychologically sophisticated his Onegin was from previous incarnations of the role that I have seen him in. The haughty, aloof character, obsessed with a drink, that he created was clearly someone who did not understand himself and was definitely not capable of understanding others. What Kwiecień gave us – as so often the case with him – was a masterclass in connecting voice, text and physicality. The way that he shaded the tone in the duel scene, almost white with fear was masterful. His velvety baritone developed a knife-like steel as he rejected Tatyana and the desperate hollowness that he found in the final scene was haunting. Kwiecień is a singer who never takes anything for granted and tonight took us on the journey with him.

Tatyana is a new role for Martínez for this run and she is already a very fine one. She sang the role on the text and her ripe strawberries and cream soprano gave much pleasure. Hers was a very physical Tatyana, communicating so much through her body as much as with the voice. The optimistic yet broken schoolgirl contrasted strikingly with the steely, regal princess again finding a steely edge in the voice for her confrontation with Onegin, soaring magnificently in those big arching phrases.

Castronovo's Lensky is something very special indeed. In fact, I would go so far as to say that his is the finest Lensky I have seen on stage – and this is a role I have been very lucky with in the theatre. He perfectly encapsulated the dreamy poet, his yearning 'ya lyublyu tebya' to Olga dreamily seductive. In his 'kuda, kuda?' he gave us five minutes of pure emotion – drawing us into his world as he faced death, it was unbearably moving. What distinguishes Castronovo is the sheer security of his vocalism; one was never in doubt that the voice would fail to do what its owner asked of it and his handsome Italianate warmth gave such enormous pleasure. He also caressed the language in a wonderful way – he had clearly worked hard on it and, certainly to my ears at least, sounded like a native speaker. Castronovo is such an intelligent singer and tonight really did give us something very special indeed.

The remainder of the cast was very decent and reflected the high standards of the house. Alisa Kolosova sang Olga in a silky mezzo with a nice full lower extension. Her native diction also gave much pleasure. Dmitry Belosselskiy's Gremin was sung in a broad, cavernous bass although lacking in a little resonance at the bottom. Jill Grove's Filippyevna was unashamedly chesty and Katharine Goeldner's Larina was sung in an aristocratic mezzo. The chorus gave quite a good account of themselves with vibrant, full-bodied tone.
Tonight's Onegin was very much about the work of three exceptional singer-actors who gave us psychologically sophisticated and vocally extremely satisfying portrayals. Indeed, the privilege of seeing singers produce such all-consuming assumptions of their roles is something quite extraordinary. If ultimately tonight didn't quite move me as much it might have, I think that was ultimately due to the over-weighty conducting, that did have merits in places, but was overly ponderous too often. Still, this was a remarkable evening in the theatre and one I am glad to have had the privilege of seeing.

Home General News How did Israel and the UAE get to normalising relations?
How did Israel and the UAE get to normalising relations?
Back in October 2018, Israeli Culture and Sports Minister Miri Regev became the first Israeli to visit Abu Dhabi in an unprecedented official state visit. So How did Israel and the UAE get to normalising relations?
She witnessed for the first time the Israeli national anthem being played at a judo tournament and later visited the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, where she wrote "I wish a good life and peace for all" in Hebrew in the visitor's book.
Regev, a former chief Israeli military spokeswoman, is known to Palestinians and critics for her more egregious statements, such as describing African migrants in Israel as a "cancer", and calling on her government last year to revive its policy of assassinating Palestinian leaders.
Her visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was a clear sign of the UAE working to push its covert relations with Israel out in the open.
Since Regev's visit, the Israeli Communications Minister, Ayoub Kara, as well as Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz have also travelled to Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
"I will continue to work with the prime minister to push for the policy of normalisation that we're leading based on Israel's capabilities in the issues of security, intelligence and different civil opportunities," Katz said at the time of his visit in July 2019.
قام وزير الخارجية الإسرائيلي، يسرائيل كاتس، بزيارة إلى أبو ظبي وشارك في مؤتمر الأمم المتحدة لشؤون البيئة.
كاتس أجرى عدة لقاءات، بينها لقاء مع مسؤول كبير في الإمارات. pic.twitter.com/oJvGKDC8yE
— إسرائيل بالعربية (@IsraelArabic) July 1, 2019
Translation: The Israeli Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz visited Abu Dhabi and participated in the UN Climate Change Summit. Katz held several meetings, including a meeting with a senior official in the Emirates.
Clandestine relations – including intelligence sharing and direct and indirect flights – between Israel and the UAE have been going on for decades.
According to Adam Entous, a reporter for The New Yorker, the think-tank and government-backed Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research was established in 1994 for academic research but later "became a conduit for contacts with Israel".
The think-tank was the perfect cover to establish Israeli communications, and was born out of Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed's (MBZ) desire to buy fighter jets from the United States in 1990, and had dreaded Israeli objections to the sale.
Sandra Charles, who was working for bin Zayed at the time and was a former official in the George HW Bush administration, arranged an off the record meeting between Emirati academic Jamal S al-Suwaidi – who later established the think-tank – and Israeli diplomat Jeremy Issacharoff. This led to then Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin to give the green light for the US fighter jets to be sold to the UAE, where a "sense of trust" was built between Israel and Abu Dhabi, Entous reported US officials as telling him.
'Unlikely geopolitical significance'
Fast forward to now and the official announcement of Israel and the UAE's formal relations on Thursday has followed through years of backroom talks and under the table meetings, analysts say.
The agreement, which was brokered by the US, is known as the Abraham Accord, and vows to work towards a "full normalisation of relations". The UAE has become the third Arab country to recognise Israel, but unlike Egypt and Jordan, does not share a border nor has it fought any wars with Israel.
Subsequently, the agreement is "unlikely to have geopolitical significance, in the sense that it does not have a serious impact on the balance of power either regionally or internationally," Mouin Rabbani, the co-editor of Jadaliyya, said.
Israel, UAE announce normalisation of relations with US help
Diana Buttu, a Haifa-based analyst and former legal adviser to Palestinian peace negotiators, said the UAE did not agree to normalising relations with Israel because it needed to take back a part of its territory – such as in Egypt's case with the Sinai Peninsula – or because they believe that peace is on the horizon.
"This is the UAE acting like they are doing us a favour and saying they are doing it for the benefit of Palestinians, but without ever actually asking whether this is what we wanted," she said. "Thirty years after the Madrid talks, you have the world speaking on our behalf but still not talking to us."
In a way, she added, this has "highlighted everything we already knew, the way the Arab leaders have always paid lip service to the Palestinian people".
'Destructive role'
In the coming weeks, UAE and Israel will meet to sign bilateral agreements on investment, tourism, telecoms, security, healthcare, culture, the establishment of embassies and other areas of "mutual benefit".
Emirati officials have attempted to spin this agreement as being done in return for Israel to halt its annexation plan for the already illegally occupied West Bank.
Hind Al Otaiba, the director of strategic communications for the UAE's foreign ministry, tweeted the tripartite call between the US, Israel and UAE "resulted in an agreement to stop Israeli annexation of Palestinian lands".
Historic day.
The three-way call resulted in an agreement to stop Israeli annexation of Palestinian lands. UAE has worked strenuously over the past months for this diplomatic achievement, which will bring stability to the region and support the peace process.
— هند مانع العتيبة Hend Al Otaiba (@hend_mana) August 13, 2020
This echoed MBZ's tweet that the agreement was reached to "stop further Israeli annexation of Palestinian territories".
However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said annexation was still very much on the table and the plans were only "temporarily suspended".
"In both versions of this, there has been no commitment by Israel to halt the construction of settlements in the occupied West Bank, which Israel effectively controls," Elham Fakhro, a senior Gulf analyst from the International Crisis Group, said.
"This is a blow for Palestinians hoping that Arab states wouldn't normalise their relations with Israel until a final agreement on statehood."
According to Nawaf Tamimi, a Middle East commentator, the Abraham Accord fits with the "destructive role" the UAE is playing in the Middle East "in sustaining wars in Yemen and Libya and undermining the democratic transition in Tunisia".
"Under the fascinating image promoted by Abu Dhabi lies plots for destabilising MENA countries in a way that destroys any ambition for change in the Arab world," he said.
"This model of destruction on one side and making 'peace' with Israel on the other fits the UAE narrative of internal and regional stability that would be achieved via its efforts to repress any democratic sound from any Arab government, as democracy is a nightmare for MBZ."
Little room to manoeuvre
The Palestinian Authority and other Palestinian groups have condemned the agreement as a "betrayal of Jerusalem, the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Palestinian cause".
The PA has recalled its ambassador from the UAE and called for an immediate emergency session of the Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation to reject the agreement.
"The PA still relies on a lot of money from the Gulf states, and I think they can see where this is all heading … with Bahrain and Oman possibly being next to normalise relations," Buttu said.
And despite the animosity between President Mahmoud Abbas and his archrival Mohammad Dahlan, who is based in the UAE and is an adviser to MBZ, Abbas cannot say or do much.
"This has put Abbas in a really tight corner, where he's got very little room to manoeuvre," Buttu said, adding it has only compounded the "fierce debates" that have been going on within the PA leadership circles about its future.
"These are questions that need to be had right now because all of the manoeuvring that they have done over the course of the past two and half decades has completely failed," she explained.
Yet for Netanyahu and Trump, the agreement could not have arrived at a better time.
"It was very clearly timed to boost the political fortunes of both Trump and Netanyahu, who may also be facing an election soon and now has an excuse for not yet implementing annexation," Mouin Rabbani said.
Buttu agreed.
"Netanyahu's political career has been on life support before this announcement," she said. "He can now boast – as he already did – that he is one of three Israeli leaders who has brokered agreements with the Arab world.
"And that – for a [occupying] country that has been desperately wanting recognition as being 'normal' – is fairly a big deal."

For some reason I assume all the drinks in the machine are hot.
Hot orange juice sounds weird.

Acer | Jane and John – we travel, Jeep and ranch!
We've been home for about a month from summer travels and haven't made the time for our last Summer Update of 2010. We'll get busy with that soon.
This will be my first post in an occasional series for "John's Geek Closet" – hopefully it will be news that's interesting and useful. I have been messing with personal computers since the 1970s and have been building my own systems for years. I enjoy the challenge of bringing a pile of parts to "life" and by building my own, I spec it out to exactly fit my requirements. But I digress..
Thanks to a friend, I started watching an on-line business called PC Parts Unlimited for deals. They sell inexpensive new and used desktops, laptops, netbooks and parts. Their service is okay, not A+, more like a B- at times, but some of the deals are really good.
The current PC Parts Unlimited promotion is for an Acer Aspire One 531h, 10.1″ screen, Win 7 Home Premium, 1 Gb memory and it comes with a 3G card (for cell phone broadband.) I bought one for Jane a couple of months ago but added another Gb of memory when I ordered it for an extra 30 bucks or so. Here's one review of the Acer netbook.
Jane's did not have the original Acer packaging, no documentation and the lid had some scratches, but the price was right. Her Acer has performed extremely well and I continue to envy her 10.1″ screen (my netbook is eight or nine inches!) In fact I'm tempted to buy another one and ditch my old netbook – don't tell Jane!
It is easy to find netbooks in the stores in the 250+ dollar price range, but they all come with Windows 7 Starter (reduced features), not Windows 7 Home Premium. Plus you get a 3G card (if that's important.) So for about $230 plus shipping, you will have a nice brand new good performing netbook with 2 Gb of memory, Win 7 Home Premium, and a 160 Gb hard drive. If you have never owned a netbook before, you don't know what you're missing 🙂 .
One caveat – the included battery (three cell) is a lower capacity version, so battery life is an hour or two. You can buy a six cell battery which would greatly increase time away from the AC outlet.
Get going and stimulate the economy!


New Delhi, Feb 12 (PTI) Drug firm Ipca Laboratories Tuesday posted a 52 per cent jump in its net profit at Rs 160.18 crore for the third quarter ended December 31, 2018.
The company had posted a net profit of Rs 105.58 crore for the same period of previous fiscal.
Total income of the company grew 10 per cent to Rs 960.22 crore during the quarter under review as against Rs 870.18 crore in the same period of the previous fiscal, Ipca Laboratories said in a regulatory filing.
Shares of the company were trading at Rs 736 apiece on BSE, up 0.82 per cent from the previous close.


The iPhone 5 rumor mill has begun spinning anew, with speculation of a new 4-inch iOS device coming March of 2012. Macotakara is reporting that suppliers Hitachi Displays and Sony Mobile Display Corporation have already begun shipping the 4-inch LCDs for final production.
Macotakara also cites an Asian source claiming that the two suppliers will be merging with Toshiba Mobile Display Company to form "Japan Display" in the spring of 2012.
MacRumors recently reported that a trusted source claims the iPhone 5 (if there really is one this time) with the large 4-inch screen will not have the teardrop shape, as was widely believed prior to the announcement of the iPhone 4S in October.

The European Space Agency (ESA) is concerned that its space tracking network, which includes a station in Australia, won't have the capacity needed to download all the incoming data from upcoming deep space missions.
ESA is sending some of the most advanced spacecraft ever flown to Mars, Mercury and Jupiter, and these missions will require plenty of ground station capacity to download their masses of science data and to enable mission controllers to send up commands.
These three stations, in Spain, Argentina and at New Norcia, Western Australia – about 135 kilometres north of Perth – were all built between 2002 and 2012 and all possess state-of-the-art capabilities.
"Their capacity in transmitting and receiving data will soon be reached, given the ambitious missions like BepiColombo, ExoMars and JUICE now being implemented – and the fact that these newer spacecraft can all download tremendous amounts of science data," said Pier Bargellini, who is responsible for the operation of ESA's ground facilities.
The New Norcia Station began operations in 2003 and is now managed by the CSIRO, which also runs NASA's Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex at Tidbinbilla, outside Canberra.
New Norcia and ESA's other two stations are operated from the ESA control centre in Germany. It also provides tracking services for Ariane, Soyuz and Vega launchers lifting off from the European Spaceport at Kourou, French Guiana.
Australia and ESA have had treaties in place since 1979 to enable ground stations on Australian soil to track spacecraft and interplanetary missions.
ESA may have found a solution to its problem close to home – an existing deep-space dish antenna at the DLR Weilheim site, near Munich, which ESA said may be able to solve part of their capacity problem and minimise the need for costly new construction.
DLR Weilheim features a number of dish antennas of varying sizes. The site isn't sitting idle, operating 24/7 to support a number of near-Earth missions.
The site's 30-metre antenna, which is most suitable for the upcoming deep space missions, has been used to support past ESA missions.
Right now it's used when DLR supports partner agencies, including downloading data from the Hayabusa2 mission flown by Japan. It has also recently been used to receive signals from global navigation satellites like GPS and Galileo.
This antenna will still need some work to add a transmitting capability to make it fully suitable for supporting the deep space missions.
It won't replace any of the existing grounds stations, but rather will provide some additional data capacity and only when Europe is facing the particular probe.

Q: How can I specify different working directories in qt creator? I'm using the latest QT SDK under Windows and am wondering how I specify a working directory based on the build type.  I need a different working directory and release and debug builds of the same project.  For instance, I have a run target called MyProgram and two build targets, Release and Debug.  MyProgram depends on some external libraries.  When I run MyProgram in debug I need it to run in the directory C:\foo\bar\libraries\debug, however when I run it in release I need it to run in directory C:\foo\bar\libraries\release.  It would appear that the Working Directory is only dependent on the run target and not on the build target.  Is there a way to specify a Working Directory based on both run and build target?  Could I use a variable to specify release/debug in the Working Directory?

A: Yes, you can. Delete the .pro.user file in the project directory, open the project, and set "Create build configurations" to manually, and check "Use shadow building". Now you can specify the target directories.
BTW, for a better solution for your missing libs, check out the Qt resource system: http://developer.qt.nokia.com/doc/qt-4.8/QResource.html
