Prachanda wins, Maoists surge ahead in Nepal
The Maoists in Nepal, spearheaded by Prachanda, on Saturday surged ahead in the landmark constituent assembly polls, winning 14 seats and leading in 65 of the remaining 240 constituencies.
Prachanda, 53, chairman of the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist who led a decade-long insurgency in the country to overthrow the monarchy, defeated his closest rival Rajendra Kumar K C of the Nepali Congress in Kathmandu.
The Maoists have won 14 of the 25 seats of which results were declared by Saturday evening. The Nepali Congress, which leads the seven party alliance, bagged five, while CPN-UML bagged three.
The Terai-based Madhesi People's Rights Forum , which had fielded 105 candidates, clinched one seat, while the Nepal Workers and Peasant Party, a regional formation, secured two seats in Bhaktapur district, near the capital.
Prachanda, who has been projected by the CPN-Maoist as the future president after the monarchy is abolished, said his party sought 'good relations' with India and China.
"For the international community and especially our neighbours India and China, I want to say that our party wants good relations with all of them and is willing to work together on development and peace process," he said.
Confident of a landslide win, he said, "I have taken this victory as the people's mandate to consolidate lasting peace. We will remain honest to that mandate".
The new 601-seat Constituent Assembly will rewrite Nepal's interim constitution and is expected to abolish the 240-year-old monarchy in the Himalayan nation.
The assembly was the main demand of Nepal's seven main political parties, including the Maoists, who teamed up in April 2006 and orchestrated weeks of protests and unrest that resulted in King Gyanendra giving up dictatorial powers he had usurped the year before. The good showing by the Maoists is being seen as the peace bonus given by the people for coming to the mainstream politics by ending the decade-long armed conflict that claimed at least 14,000 lives.
The Nepal election has been a setback for some of the CPN-UML's senior leaders, including general secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal, central committee members Pradip Nepal, Raghuji Panta and Siddhi Lal Singh, who have been defeated or trailing behind their rivals.
Top CPN-UML functionaries, Bharat Mohan Adhikari, K P Oli, Bamdev Gautam and Ishwor Pokharel, are trailing in their respective constituencies.
Nepali Congress heavy weights like the party's acting president Sushil Koirala and the Prime Minister's daughter, Sujata Koirala, were trailing.
Former United States president Jimmy Carter, international election watch groups, India and United Nations have praised Nepal for holding the election peacefully and bringing the Maoists to the multi-party democratic exercises.
Carter on Saturday described the election as one of the 'most profoundly important', indicating a major transition for Nepal.
"If the Maoists do gain a substantial share of power, I hope the United States will recognise and do business with the government," Carter told mediapersons.
The Maoists are still named as a terrorist organisation by the United States.
He said all political parties, including the Maoists, have committed themselves to democracy and peace and to resolve differences through a peaceful process. He said that the Maoists have changed their behaviour by resorting to peaceful democratic process.
Carter said with completion of the election the king will have no substantial political role but will remain as a citizen and enjoy the normal rights.

Three Finley greats
By James Bennett
Shane Crawford wins the ball from Melbourne's Andrew Leoncelli during his Brownlow medal winning season.
Finley can boast it's one of the state's best breeding towns for top footballers with three locally born stars named in the greatest NSW football team of all time.
Finley alumni Shane Crawford and Tom Hawkins were listed alongside greats such as Lenny Hayes, Wayne Carey, Paul Kelly and Haydn Bunton, while taking the reigns as coach is fellow Finley-born legend the late Allan Jeans.
Although named in the initial squad, David Murphy, who spent a short time living in Finley and played 156 games with the Sydney Swans during his career, just missed out on selection in the final team.
The full team was announced at a special gala in Sydney on Thursday night, with Crawford named on the wing and Hawkins starting on the bench.
Both qualify as selection criteria states ''if a player went to school interstate but their parents remained in NSW, they remain eligible''.
Neither Crawford or Hawkins could be contacted by the Southern Riverina News in time for this edition. But Finley Football and Netball Club president Ash Haynes said it was great to see the local talent recognised for their achievements.
''The club is always proud of its footballers and netballers and a great honour to have a strong contingent of players representing NSW,'' he said.
Crawford played 305 games for Hawthorn and retired with a Brownlow medal along with a premiership in his last season.
Crawford also finished a four time best and fairest at the Hawks, four time All Australian and is a member of the Australian Football Hall of Fame.
Hawkins is one of the few players listed still playing AFL and is closing in of 250 games with Geelong, having played 240 games for Geelong.
He's a seven time leading goal kicker for the Cats, booting 517 career goals, a two-time premiership player (2009, 2011) and won the club best and fairest in 2012.
Allan Jeans played just 77 games for St Kilda between 1955 and 1959 but is best remembered for his coaching.
In 1966 he led the Saints to their only premiership. He followed it up with premierships during Hawthorn's golden era in the 1980s, winning in 1983, 1986 and 1989.
Jeans was also an inaugural inductee in the Australian Football Hall of Fame and was named coach of the St Kilda FC Team of the Century.
Also selected from towns close to the Southern Riverina Corowa-Rutherglen's John Longmire and Deniliquin's Leo Barry.

How Adults Can Survive A Childhood of Violence and Untruth
by Michael Pastore
Fear and love cannot live together … Blows are used to correct brute beasts.
– Seneca (Roman philosopher, author, politician, 4 B.C.E. to C.E. 65)
Two thousand years ago, the people of ancient Rome cheered enthusiastically as they watched gladiators fight each other to the death, and saw innocent persons torn to pieces by wild beasts. In that same era, Roman teachers practiced corporal punishment on a daily basis. The Roman schools were stocked with a variety of instruments used to beat children, including the ferula (a bundle of switches made from birch branches), the scutia (a whip made of leather straps), and the flagellum (a whip made of straps from ox-hide, the hardest available leather).
Although feeding slaves to lions and beating children in schools were acceptable practices to the mass of Roman citizens, occasionally a voice of protest cried out. The rhetorician Quintilian (C.E. 35 to C.E. 95) wrote: "I am entirely against the practice of corporal punishment in education, although it is widespread … In the first place it is disgusting and slavish treatment, which would certainly be regarded as an insult if it were not inflicted on boys. Further, the pupil whose mind is too coarse to be improved by censure will become as indifferent to blows as the worst of slaves. Finally, these chastisements would be entirely unnecessary if the teachers were patient and helpful."
After blaming teachers for failing to induce students to do what is right, and then asking how corporal punishers could possibly handle boys who cannot be influenced by fear, Quintilian adds: "And consider how shameful, how dangerous to modesty are the effects produced by the pain or fear of the victims. This feeling of shame cripples and unmans the spirit, making it flee from and detest the light of day."
Most Americans would condemn the Roman practices as backward, barbaric, and cruel. To me, it is remarkable that a similar savagery – the child abuse in our own homes and schools – is discussed so rarely, coldly, and superficially in American newspapers, television programs, and books. Our culture is poisoned by violence against children. In the year 2000, the US Department of Health and Human Services received 3 million reports of child maltreatment involving 5 million American children. Approximately 879,000 children (of the 5 million reported) were confirmed victims of child maltreatment, comprising neglect and medical neglect (63%) , physical abuse (19%), sexual abuse (10%), and psychological maltreatment (8%). These numbers do not include the 400,000 children who were paddled that year – legally paddled – in American schools.
How can we explain the lack of private awareness and public action regarding the way we bruise and bully our beloved boys and girls? Where is the outrage from our authors and university professors who specialize in these fields? … It appears to me that these thinkers have failed to understand the one most important thing: the essence of human nature. Like the church, too many writers have bellowed that children are inherently evil, and therefore – outside of heaven – there is little chance for individual fulfillment or social progress. This most dangerous myth – that babies are born with evil genes and children are by nature violent creatures – yielded a Nobel Prize for Literature to the author of that puerile fable, Lord of The Flies.
Fortunately, we can still find authors who believe that children are born good: Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, A.S. Neill, Erich Fromm, Ashley Montagu, Abraham Maslow, Colin Wilson. One more writer must be added to this prestigious list. Throughout the past twenty years, the psychiatrist Alice Miller has been the most passionate and articulate advocate for every child's natural goodness, and for each child's right to live free from violence. Miller's previous books include For Your Own Good (1983); Thou Shalt Not Be Aware (1985); The Drama of the Gifted Child (revised edtiton,1996); Banished Knowledge (1997); and Paths of Life (1998). Miller's latest work – The Truth Will Set You Free – draws on the wisdom of the earlier volumes, but also introduces many new ideas.
Miller's argument, in The Truth Will Set You Free might be summarized as something like this:
1. Many adults manage their children with parenting and teaching methods which employ physical or emotional violence against the child.
2. Because of this violent treatment, the children grow up blind to the dangers of violent parenting, and out of touch with their true feelings and needs.
3. When these children grow to become teachers and parents, they will practice these same violent methods against their own children.
4. This cycle of "violence breeds more violence" can be broken, and abused adults can heal themselves and become nonviolent parents.
Miller begins by explaining, with many examples, how and why childhood reality is avoided "in six fields where we should expect precisely the opposite: medicine, psychotherapy, politics, the penal system, religion, and biography." … Miller's next section, 'How We Are Struck Emotionally Blind', offers an explanation for the remarkable and often-repeated story: "A father will beat his son and humiliate him with sarcastic remarks but not have any memory whatever of having been similarly humiliated by his own father.' … In the third part of the book, Miller offers examples of courageous adults who have healed themselves despite long histories of parental abuse.
Miller offers a stunning explanation about the mystery: "Why do people refuse to see and change their actions which are harmful to themselves and others?" … In a previous book, Paths Of Life (1998), Miller says:
"People subjected to mistreatment in childhood may go on insisting all their lives that beatings are harmless and corporal punishment is salutary, although there is overwhelming, indeed conclusive, evidence to the contrary."
Written from the heart, this book explains the causes of our problems, and provides jargon-free solutions that work. Miller writes: "As a therapist I know that we can free ourselves from inherited patterns if we can find someone to believe us and stand by us, someone who instead of moralizing wants to help us live with the truth."
Along our road to individual freedom it is necessary for us to find what Miller calls an enlightened witness: a therapist, teacher, lawyer, or writer who is well-informed, open-minded, and willing to listen to the painful personal truths we need to tell.
In focusing on self-revelation as the key to freedom, Miller reminds me of the brilliant but neglected psychologist Sidney M. Jourard. In The Transparent Self, Jourard writes:
"We camouflage our true being before others to protect ourselves against criticism or rejection. This protection comes at a steep price. When we are not truly known by the other people in our lives, we are misunderstood. When we are misunderstood, especially by family and friends, we join the "lonely crowd." Worse, when we succeed in hiding our being from others, we tend to lose touch with our real selves. This loss of self contributes to illness in its myriad forms."
Jourard died in an accident at age 48 – only three years after the 1971 revised edition of The Transparent Self – too young to nurture his theory with the kind of real-life examples that make it more potent and therapeutic. Alice Miller has done this: filled her works with numerous examples of individuals who struggle and succeed in expressing their true selves in words and deeds. Miller's book is so honest about the lives of specific individuals, it reveals the inner life of us all.
The Truth Will Set You Free is a Alice Miller's masterpiece, which shows us how we can face the darkest secrets of our painful childhoods, and emerge with hope, courage, and insights for living our lives more genuinely – more tenderly – with ourselves, and with the family and friends we care about. In my copy of the book I have marked scores of passages, passages that corroborate my intuitions and personal experiences working with children and adults of all ages and backgrounds. The book, with its stream of brilliant observations and profound ideas, moved me in ways that are too deep to express in words.
"Trust men," writes R.W. Emerson, "and they will be true to you." … Inspired by Miller's book, I now understand much more clearly how to listen, and how to help other persons to free themselves by sharing the depths of their hearts and souls. And there is one more essential lesson that this book may teach. Happy children with healthy childhoods are an endangered species. All of us involved in the helping professions must actively work to create a culture where violence against children, in all forms, is replaced with the three most beautiful human gifts: reason, sincerity, and love.

I'm A Woman And I Love Having Sex
An autobiography of a sexually awakened woman.
It's not uncommon for men to be threatened by a woman's sexuality. Add 'Indian' and 'Muslim' to that, and what you have is a woman who should only be wearing Boroline under her burkha. And yet here I am, a grown Muslim woman in India wearing lipstick, thongs, handcuffs and much more (or less, depending on how you look at it). You'd be surprised…
Sex on my mind. Image source: montvillecounseling.com
It isn't like there weren't attempts to stop me from being a real, natural, sexually liberated woman. In fact, I lived most of my teenage life in abstinence, which is why at a time when my classmates had already developed preferences for flavors and brands in condoms and were discussing how to handle a gag reflex, I was still wearing camisoles with giraffe motifs. No one would have guessed that in a year I was going to turn into a full-fledged sexually awakened woman.
Within two months of dating my first boyfriend, he disappeared. When he came back three months later fresh out of rehab, we met and hooked up. That's when he told me, "What happened to you, you were such a prude". And boy was I.
But I was determined to change all that. Tired of living like a nun and replaying the piano scene from Pretty Woman in my head as the height of love and romance, I wanted to experience life as a young modern woman equal to a man in every way (read - burgeoning sex drive).
We took his birthday as the perfect opportunity to start our sexual adventure. And a few hours before midnight we were hushing our way up the fire exit. In that dark and dingy hideout we made out as passionate lovers do. We were unstoppable, rolling around in the dirt, happy and flushed with the passion of youth. And when I whispered in his ears, "I am staying over tonight so should we make a quick trip to the chemist first", it marked my metamorphosis from prude to predator. A few hours later that same night, he said, "God! Have I unleashed a beast?" He had.
My sex education from Konark. Image source:indiatimes.in
In all honesty considering the way I had grown up, I surprised myself as much as I did him. Because not long ago I was still practicing 'how to kiss perfectly'. And now I had tried everything sculpted on the Konark temple. My ever readiness with regards to when, where and how we had sex appalled my boyfriend ever so frequently that he asked, "What do they say about how a girl from your background should have sex?" And my reply was always, "They ask you to keep the lights off. But don't you want to see what I look like?"
He broke out of that world sooner than I did and lost interest in sex, and me. Perhaps that's because my approach to sex didn't appeal to his chauvinistic mind. In a short while I had gained myself the reputation of a 'free spirit'. But I believe it had more to do with my identity than the actual frequency with which I had sex. Like a professor of mine said, "Sex is like two people getting a beer together, and who puts a limit on how many you have?" But then again I wasn't supposed to be having those either, right?
Patriarchy and habit together caused my libido to become threatening to him. He told me, "Honey I appreciate your enthusiasm but I am not a machine". In that moment I was truly embarrassed and ashamed.
From prude to predator. Image source: qunki.com
As you can imagine, this relationship ended soon. And thus arrived the opportunity for me to truly experiment. In the first week I after our break up I had many one night stands. Maybe it was on the rebound, or maybe it was just reinforcing to myself that I was ok with my choices. My best friend who knew every single minute detail of every one of my sexcapades told me I if I got marked present for every time I had sex, I won't have attendance issues for the rest of my academic life. My other close friends were worried about my health and offered to pay for my STD tests, and of course there were many who judged. I had however never heard of people being worried if a guy was too horny and I definitely couldn't have been discriminating against my own gender. To me everything was perfectly fine and I was perhaps a little hornier than someone else. I wasn't ashamed, depressed or skeptical - I love sex and I had as much of it as I wanted to.
And then, I entered into the most beautiful relationship I have had so far with another living being. It started of as long distance (no sex), and recently we moved in together. He loves me for who I am. For all my weaknesses, strengths, fantasies and dreams. Do my parents know? Hell no. It might take a few more years for them to change their way of thinking. Just like the Censor Board.
Meanwhile, here's a message for them. I am a woman, and I love having sex.

FROM THE NEW TIMES JUNE, 1976
It is clear from the comments of the great majority of those discussing the Rhodesian situation, particularly the critics, that they have no knowledge of the background of Rhodesia.
In the torrent of words poured out over Rhodesia, so much misleading and erroneous information has been conveyed by all forms of mass news media, that it is not surprising that the ordinary citizen of the world should be confused and deceived over the real truth concerning the country.
In this respect it is felt that perhaps a brief and concise background of events leading up to the present day situation in Rhodesia, will give a proper and balanced situation of the factual picture as it pertains at this moment, and thus afford those who are interested, the opportunity to assess the real position, and it is hoped will gain – say the false image that has been built up by our enemies abroad.
An example of this false propaganda is the statement frequently uttered by what is known as the Afro-Asian bloc, and which receives the widest publicity, namely – "that the white man is a usurper on the Continent of Africa, and should be driven back into the Sea." Such utterances are not only puerile in their effectiveness, but are manufactured on a completely false premise.
In consequence, it is from this point that such a background referred to above is attempted, in order to show the real and truthful circumstances that pertain to Rhodesia.
This vast land mass of Africa, termed in the past as the "Dark Continent", is inhabited by roughly six main ethic groups viz:
Negroes on the West Coast.
Semites or Arabs on the North Coast.
Hamites or Abyssinians, Somalis on the East Coast.
Nilotes who live in the Nile Valley.
Bantu who stretch through Africa South of the 10 degree N parallel.
Caucasians or white men who chiefly live in the Southern portion of the Continent.
For the purposes of this exercise concerning Rhodesia, the latter two ethnic groups, namely Bantu and Caucasian, are considered in this connection.
Emigration of the Bantu southwards started somewhere about the end of the 15th Century, when according to ancient Persian, Arabian and Portuguese historians, as well as enthological and archaeological authorities, they invaded the northern parts of what is known today as Rhodesia. At that time the country was inhabited by the Bushman, a nomadic people, whose painting in caves upon rocks can be seen in many parts of Rhodesia today. They were not Bantu, and over a period of time were either exterminated by the Bantu, or emigrated themselves southwards.
Other Bantu groups pushed further southwards coming down the coast of the continent and settled in what is called today Natal and Transvaal in the Republic of South Africa. It is from this group that sprang what today forms the Zulu people. This latter invasion took place about the beginning of the 17th Century. Approximately some fifty years afterwards, in 1652, there landed at the most southern part of the Continent, a Dutchman named Van Riebeeck, who set up a Victualing Station at the Cape for the Dutch East India Company. Van Riebeeck found the country in the most southern part of Africa, inhabited by the Bushmen and an off-shoot of the Bushmen, called Hottentots. These were not Bantu. In fact it was not till near the middle of the 19th Century that the European and Bantu came in contact.
THE ELIMINATION OF THE BUSHMEN
Over the years that passed the European population increased through immigration of all races, and gradually the Bushmen were pushed back until today he is only to be found in the Kalahari Desert, whilst the Hottentot was gradually absorbed until there is practically nothing left of this off-shoot race.
In the meantime, those Bantu tribes who had settled in Natal and the Transvaal had integrated into a the Matabele sprang, who eventually invaded and conquered what is now known as Rhodesia.
Their leader Mziilikazi was the son of one of Chaka's generals, who had been executed through failure in a raiding mission. On the death of his father Mzilikazi decamped with his followers and possessions into what is now known as the Transvaal, and here set up a typical Zulu state. However, his sojourn here was disrupted by the advancing Boers from the South. In an engagement with them in 1835, he and his people were defeated, and again he fled, this time towards the north-west. Finally he and his Matabele tribesmen settled in the south-western part of Rhodesia about the end of 1836. He set up his capital at Bulawayo (the place of killing). Very soon, because of their war-like propensities, the Matabele had complete domination over the Shona speaking tribes living in the rest of Rhodesia, who they treated more or less as slaves.
Mzilikazi died in 1868, and was succeeded by his son Lobengula.
At this time a few missionaries and white hunters had penetrated into this part of Rhodesia. One of the missionaries, as son of Dr. Moffat who had been a great friend of Mzilikazie in his lifetime, was persuaded by a British friend, to try and get a Treaty made between Lobengula and Britain, so as to stop the advancing Boers from South Africa getting in first. Using the past relationship between his father and the Matabele King, Moffat was able to persuade Lobengula into making such a Treaty, which was signed in 1888, and known as the Moffat Treaty. Under the terms of the Treaty, Lobengula placed himself under the protection of the British Crown, but otherwise this Treaty placed no restriction on Lobengula insofar as his government of the country was concerned, and the ownership of the land remained with him. This territory covered in effect the whole of Rhodesia, as the Matabele went where they liked, took what they wanted, and treated the Shona speaking tribesmen as slaves.
This was confirmed by the then Prime Minister of Britain, Lord Salisbury, who committed his Government to the following position. "Her Majesty's Government have satisfied themselves that Lobengula, with whom they have concluded a treaty, is the undisputed ruler over Matabeleland and Mashonaland". They established Lobengula as the acknowledge ruler and owner of Rhodesia, which he acquired by conquest. In the same year 1888, the Rudd Concession was signed with Lobengula whereby Rhodes Company, constituted later by a Royal Charter from Britain, were entitled to develop the territory, but the ownership remained with Lobengula. In 1889, the Royal Charter was granted to Rhodes' Company.
THE ENTRY OF THE PIONEER COLUMN
To carry out the plan for which the Charter land had been given, Rhodes organized and set up a Pioneer Column, which was to march to Mashonaland by-passing Matabeleland, because it was not considered advisable to come into contact with the war-like Matabele. This column set out in May 1890 from Kimberley in South Africa and arrived at what is now Salisbury on 12th September of the same year. In 1891, the British Government, by Order-in-Council declared British Protection over Bechuanaland, Matabeleland and Mashonaland, claiming these territories as their portion in the scramble for the division of Africa, which the European powers of that time were involved.
At first all was quiet and peaceful in Rhodesia, and the Europeans and the Matabele appeared to be able to lie together without any hostile acts being committed. However, the Matabele, whose entire social system was geared towards raiding their neighbors, the Mashona, soon started these raids again. This could not be tolerated by the Europeans, for apart from damage such raids did to property, and the brutal slaughter of the Mashona, it also affected their labor supply. This unstable balance of power did not last, and war broke out in 1893. It did not last long and the Matabele were crushed with surprising ease and swiftness, with Lobengula perishing in his flight.
Three years later, in 1896, the Matabele and many of the Mashona speaking tribes rose to exterminate the white man. This was a much more serious affair than the Matabele War, and it took a year finally to crush this rebellion. The Europeans in relation to their numbers, suffered heavy loss of life and a large proportion of the settlers in the outlying districts were murdered with their families, or tortured to death.
The Matabele were the first to capitulate through the skillful negotiations by Rhodes, and thereafter the Mashona tribes were forced to make peace. For the next 63 years peace reigned supreme and not a single person was killed through public violence. From this date until 1922, Rhodesia was governed by the Charter Co, under Administrators. The money for the development of Rhodesia, for the payment of its officials and its administration, was paid for by the Charter Co., and subsequently by the people of Rhodesia. Rhodesia the last vestige of a defunct Empire, has never cost the British tax payer one cent.
In 1922, a referendum was held to decide whether Rhodesia should join the Union of South Africa or assume responsible government under the British Crown. The latter was chosen.
THE ESTABLISHMENT OF SELF-GOVERNMENT
In 1923, Rhodesia was annexed to Great Britain and Responsible Government was given to her as a Self-Governing Colony. The Constitution which evolved therefrom, conferred Responsible Government on Rhodesia, subject to reserved clauses contained therein. These reserved clauses referred to the British Parliament's power to withhold assent on –
Any law relating African natives, to which persons of European descent were not liable.
Any law amending those provisions of the Constitution which legislature was competent to enact.
Any law establishing the proposed legislative Council.
Any law altering the arrangements relating to mining revenue.
Any law relating to the railways.
It became established thereafter that by a written Convention, the British Parliament at Westminster, would not legislate for Rhodesia on those matters within the competence of the Rhodesian Legislative Assembly, unless asked to do so by the Rhodesian Government. For the next 42 years, up to Rhodesia's Declaration of Independence , this Convention was adhered to.
Rhodesia thus for all practical purposes has been wholly independent for over 42 years.
In 1952, the British Government decided that it would be advantageous if the self-governing Colony of Rhodesia and the two independent colonies which are now known as Zambia and Malawi, amalgamated together to form a multi-racial Federation.
At this time, it has been stated, that Rhodesia could have had a Dominion Status for the asking, particularly in view of her contribution to Britain and her allies in two World Wars. However, by a referendum of her people, Rhodesia decided to follow the policy of British Government and become part of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyassaland. Economically the Federation was an outstanding success, from which all three members thereof benefitted to a very marked degree. Commercial undertakings, industrial development, huge projects like the Kariba Dam, were achieved, whilst expansion in all walks of life seemed limited to the skies.
The status quo not allowed. Black majority rule followed and the demise of all the countries connected to Rhodesia followed.
As we are all experiencing again and again, the Africans are a vicious people, they are war-like, murderers, they have not changed through the centuries and they never will.
When will the White European understand there is a war being waged against them by the Africans, the co-existence of the two Races is impossible.


Important ways that you can help yourself not become a victim of identity theft include destroying (shredding) pre-approved credit card offers you receive in the mail, never give personal information - such as credit card numbers - over the phone, regularly check your credit card and bank statements for irregularities, and always make sure you are on a secure website when shopping on the Internet.
If you don't do these things, you could be leaving yourself open to identity theft.
Identity theft is a crime in which the criminal can apply for credit in your name and then default on the credit, leaving creditors to believe that it was you who defaulted on the credit obligation. Or, the criminal can take over one of your accounts and make changes to it - like ordering additional credit cards or adding names to your account.
How can the criminal do this?
By obtaining your personal information - name, date of birth, and social security number.
Contact the three major credit card reporting companies (Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union) and ask them to flag your accounts with a "fraud alert." In this way all new applications will be verified by calling you first.
Obtain a copy of your credit card report and review it carefully for unfamiliar transactions.
Check with your credit card company in a couple of months to confirm that corrections have been made with no further evidence of fraud.

Since then we moved north to the Valley of the Moon, and have been happily nestled on Sonoma Mountain for over 20 years. Our collie family is noted for its type and soundness, and our limited breeding program ensures that every Foggy Bay collie is raised as a house dog. We are active in conformation and have over twenty champions to date. Members of our family have had great success and earned many titles in the herding, agility, rally and obedience rings. We work very hard to ensure that a Foggy Bay collie is a dog for all reasons, and we are very proud of our collie family's accomplishments. We hope you'll step inside and learn more about our dogs and our history.
Please note: Every puppy must be picked up at Foggy Bay by their new family. We do not ship!


In angle-closure glaucoma, the fluid at the front of the eye cannot drain through the angle and leave the eye. The angle gets blocked by part of the iris. People with this type of glaucoma may have a sudden increase in eye pressure. Symptoms include severe pain and nausea, as well2 as redness of the eye and blurred vision. If you have these symptoms, you need to seek treatment immediately. This is a medical emergency. If your doctor is unavailable, go to the nearest hospital or clinic. Without treatment to restore the flow of fluid, the eye can become blind. Usually, prompt laser surgery and medicines can clear the blockage, lower eye pressure, and protect vision.

This week at "Dinner easy" we are focusing on the side dish or better known as the supporting player to a great meal. You can't have an orchestra without the string section and you can't have a villain without a minion. The same goes for dinner. What's a main course without a side dish?
I'm of Greek ancestry; my husband on the other hand is Irish. I am willing to bet before he married me he never tasted any Greek food in his life. It's opened up a whole new culinary experience for him and one of his favorites is Greek style green beans. In fact if you ask him what sort of veggie he likes best he will always say Greek green beans.
Pair this easy side dish with our moist delicious meatloaf recipe, add a baked potato and you have a complete dinner easy!
Heat the oil on medium heat in a large pot. Add the onions and garlic and sauté about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent. Stir in the green beans and cook a little longer. Reduce the heat to medium low. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, pepper, oregano, and lemon juice. Cook on medium low for 5 more minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 45 minutes.
Be sure to visit Bowdabrablog and Make it easy crafts for Dinner easy next week for more tasty recipes!
There is nothing I love better than green beans. It is one of my favorite vegetables. I am so happy that you shared this link on #HomeMattersParty and I hope you will come vack and share again.


Main items offered by the tourist center include admiring the marvellous spectacle of Furong cave, drifting on the Furong River, climbing Xiannu Mountain, and viewing the landscape of the gorges on the Wujiang River.
Drifting on the Furong River It can be divided into drifting for, ordinary recreation (the section on the Zhuzi stream below Sanhekou) and for excitement (the section on the Pangu River). There are three points to start the excitement drifting from Shanmen Gorge, Miaozhai, or Liansan Shora. The most exciting is to start from Lianshan Shoa. The 1,800-meter journey, the golden section of drifting on the Furong River, passes 26 shoals.
Located at the confluence of the Wujiang and Furong rivers in the town of Jiangkou, Wulong county, it is a large limestone cavern, 2,400m long and 30-50 meters high and wide. The Huihuang (brilliant) Hall has a floor space of 11,000 sq meters. The cave features a wide distribution of pure stalactites of every form, offering visitors and artistic treat to nature's marvellousness. Furong Cave has been cited as an "ndergroud museum in China."

Q: Applying Newey-West variance estimator without a regression framework Let's say I have a series of correlated variables $x_1, ..., x_T$. I could estimate its variance by $\sigma^2 = \frac{1}{T-1}\sum_{i=1}^T (x_i - \bar{x})^2$. However, as there is serial correlation in the variable, I want a variance estimator that is robust to this. The Newey-West variance estimator has this property, but is usually applied in a regression framework.
Can someone provide me the formula of the Newey-West variance estimator in my setting?
Thanks

Messi, Mbappé and plenty of money: Inside 2021's transfer window
I had an invited article on RTÉ Brainstorm yesterday. The focus of the piece is the English Premier League transfer window. The piece can be found here and an abridged version of the text is below.
For almost 12 weeks – nearly a week before a ball was kicked at Euro 2020 – the English Premier League transfer window has been open. The window allows clubs to buy, sell and loan players in order to prepare for the long season ahead. As is normal during a summer break with a major international competition, a flurry of deals in the last two weeks of the window is almost standard practice.
This summer's Premier League window has been dominated by certain names. Kane. Grealish. Varane. Lukaku. Sancho. Further afield, Paris St Germain made international headlines by capturing a number of marquee players, including Sergio Ramos, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Lionel Messi from Barcelona.
As one of the greatest players of all time, Messi's move took many by surprise and captures aspects of the modern game so well. Technically unattached as his Barcelona contract had expired, the Argentina captain was free to negotiate a contract with any club.
Football players can thank Jean Marc Bosman for this. The Belgian player was responsible for the 1995 European Court of Justice ruling in the case of Union Royale Belge des Sociétés de Football Association ASBL vs Jean-Marc Bosman. This paved the way for free movement once contracts expired.
Messi's arrival in Paris means Barcelona received no transfer fee. This is not because Messi did not have a value but rather because Barcelona no longer held his registration. Had Messi been under contract, he would likely have cost PSG something similar to the fee they paid to capture Neymar from Barcelona in 2017.
Harry Kane's situation is almost the opposite. Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy appears to be holding firm despite Man City's bids for the Spurs captain, who has three years left on his contract. Reports suggest Man City have bid in excess of £100 million for Kane but Levy is refusing to allow the club's top goal scorer to leave.
Most view this as the price to buy the player, or as some proxy of the players value to the team or business. The transfer fee is rather the compensation paid to the selling club in order to break a player's contract. A player's value is therefore intrinsically linked to the number of years left of their contract. If Harry Kane had just one year left on his contract, Man City would probably only bid half the amount for the exact same player. They might bid even less, or wait a year and take the player for free.
In the modern game, signing a new contract is no longer always a signal that a player is committing to a club. Rather, it could be an attempt to protect the value of the asset to the club or involve the insertion of a release clause so a player can move on in the near future.
With time running out in this year's window, we can expect plenty of activity in the days ahead. And while the focus of the window is always on the superstar players and biggest deals, 180 players were made unemployed this summer by Premier League clubs. Crystal Palace alone released 22 players, 12 of which were considered "senior" players. Most will reach agreements with other clubs in the Premier League or Championship, but some will probably continue looking for work into September and beyond.
By Saturday morning, as many other industries and labour markets continue to grapple with the pandemic, football's transfer activity will have continued apace. It is estimated that the 20 Premier League clubs will have spent about £1 billion this summer. This includes the breaking of the British transfer record by an English club and the most expensive English player ever.
This, despite a huge drop in revenue during the 2020/21 season due to a collapse in matchday activity, demonstrates the wealth of these clubs and their owners. And don't forget, it is only 4 months until the January transfer window opens. Hundreds of millions of pounds will again be no doubt spent in order to make sure next May is a cause for celebration; be that survival, European football, the Champions League or maybe even the Premier League title.

No State Is Free Of Coronavirus – NCDC
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has announced that no state in the country can claim to be Coronavirus free.
It explained the only way states and countries across the world can be COVID-19 free is when a vaccine to effectively fight the virus is discovered.
The Director-General of the NCDC, Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, who made these known in Abuja, during the daily briefing of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, urged states to intensify their efforts on strict compliance with preventive measures.
He said: "Concerning some States declaring themselves covid-19 free, because they were discharging patients, I will like to say no single state in Nigeria is COVID-19 free, not one.
"No country in the world is COVID-19 free. Even New Zealand that is an island state is still having new cases after a period of not having any. We can't separate ourselves from the rest of the country because we live in a context and viruses spread.
"That is why prevention is very important; if you can't prevent, then you must detect. It is that detection that we call lab testing, and that is why we have to scale our lab test.
"We can only start talking about any state or community being disease free when we have an effective tool to fight that disease. That will come when we have a vaccine. Until then, there is no easy way to say this. We have to keep pushing on these preventive measures and we have to develop our laboratory capacity to test.
"I think there are six or seven states in the country that do not have a testing facility yet; there are some that are in progress using the GeneXpert technology. By next week, we will be able to say that the country is covered.
"The challenge will now be about how to convey the samples from one part of the state to the other depending on how big the state is. We want to make sure we have testing capabilities in every State in Nigeria."

I honestly hated it and I actually liked the last jedi. This movie just proved that they had no idea what they were doing with this trilogy. I wish they had a cohesive plan from the beginning.
MMAddict710, Dec 19, 2019
Things I liked:
Jedi fights.
Kylo Ren mask
Ben Solo.
Reys ending
Chewie gets his medal.
things I didn't like:
everything was too easy.
no real danger.
Zombie Palpatine.
planet killing guns.
plot holes.
MMAddict710 said: ↑
I think they did, but Rian Johnson fuked it up.
As someone who has been regularly checking out the leaks (for months), I still somehow feel surprised.
I havent seen it yet. But ive read/seen many reviews. Will see friends who saw it tomorrow. Everything ive heard about this makes me feel bad. Despite my many problems with The Last Jedi, i always UNDERSTOOD why so many people loved it. This, however, sounds like a genuinely bad film... will see it soon but im not looking forward to it
rhino78 said: ↑
But that means they didn't have a cohesive plan, if they did, they would never let him do that. More than Abrams or Johnson, it seems Disney is really the ones who slapsticked this together, whoever runs Star Wars at Disney didn't seem to have much of a vision with this trilogy and just went film by film instead of considering the whole package.
In before Rico calls it the best movie ever made.
abc0331 and rhino78 like this.
I guess they could've had the main parts ready, like "Here's how it ends, Luke, Leia, Han die, Rey is the Last, now you *director* get there".
But, yeah, Kevin Feige has figured out how to play the long game. It seems Kathleen Kennedy doesn't.
Pretty accurate breakdown of the movie.

These movies have been gutter trash for the past 20 years.

Thank you JJ!! I was very pleased with this movie. It was the opposite of TLJ for me. Where that one I hated more and more as it went on, this one I liked more and more. JJ is definitely more in tune with the old school Star Wars fan.
I love how he dealt with TLJ in the first 5 minute of the movie then it was right back to the TFA plot. You could pretty much not even watch TLJ in this series and you'd be fine lol.
I like the redemption of the old school characters. And there were enough surprise moments to keep me excited. Definitely back to the nostalgia feel... But I'm not ashamed to admit that's what I want with this series.
Sapper and rhino78 like this.
AND.... Virtually no Rose Taco, which is probably JJ's biggest F you to Rian. Loved it!!
CD816 and rhino78 like this.
Oh man I am reading the reviews of the movie now and it is being trashed by all the 'progressive' TLJ lovers on how regressive the move is. This might be my favorite part!!
There is a lot to take in with The Rise of Skywalker. Almost TOO much at times. It's not my favorite in the new trilogy. Maybe slightly above Force Awakens, but both were VERY safe films. I'll give JJ slack since he had to rewrite it from Trevorrow's original plans, but a lot of decisions felt like fan service that didn't serve the overall story. People didn't like being challenged with TLJ, so this movie felt very paint-by-number. The first 10-15 minutes shift between awesome and straight up ROUGH.
Overall though, I still very much enjoyed it. The action pieces are fantastic as they have always been. The performances are solid. I really enjoyed pretty much every new character introduced. And seeingBilly Dee Williams back as Lando was just wonderful.
I'd give it a 7.75/10 on initial viewing....I'm excited for viewing #2 Monday
Hey Harold, nice to see you again. Thanks for the rent-free space in that noggin of yours. I'm like the Palpatine to your Kylo Ren
Bucho Well Liked OG Lightweight
The movie that brought back the black OT character and whose main new character is also black, and that also featured two gals smooching, is being called regressive?
Lol. Like I said, drama queens on both sides.
Bucho, Dec 20, 2019
cmvideo75 and JonnyRico like this.
The biggest issue for me of all I think is that it unfortunately doesn't break any new ground, just retreads a lot of familiar ground. That is what Star Wars does best usually, and that is a major reason I love The Last Jedi as much as people hate it. But that movie is vastly different from any other Star Wars movie, which is why it is the MOST Star Wars movie of the new films. VII and IX are very fun rides, but ultimately just homages to the past that don't break that much new ground either story wise or from a technical level. If Martin Scorsese were to watch all 3 of these movies, I think he would call TLJ "Film" and TFA and TROS "theme parks"....and for me that's ok.
I ultimately wish that they did have a solid 3-movie story arc planned out before making them. I'm much more than confident that this was Kathleen Kennedy's last Star Wars movie, as well.

However, the German luxury giants have an extended technique to go to win the Chinese market. Thus far this year BMW offered 102,916 units in China but offered 176,736 units in the US. Don't forget that the US is still in unhealthy financial instances and has much more luxury options than within the Chinese language market. Whereas sales in China are not unhealthy for these luxurious vehicles, I don't suppose they should be an indicator in the Chinese language market. I would place my bet on mainstream automobiles selling the very best in China. China's rich could also be buying a number of 5 series but the true cash is to be made with the rising center class.

Some engineers work completely on testing automobiles and components to ensure safety and efficiency. My name is Robin Floyd Lamura. I reside in USA Florida and i'm a happy man at this time? I instructed my self that any Loan lender that could change my Life and that of my household, i will refer any individual that is looking for loan to Them.
I enjoyed my time right here at ATC. I realized a whole lot of good data from a number of good people. The employees here is nice and so they really care about your craft. I discover that that is the best method to go. Nevertheless I conclude saying that each one this is doable only if automobile designers have robust respect for different colleagues problematic on projects, in other phrases we work in teams and each one has to present the perfect to help the workforce. To go to frontal crash does not take us wherever and we do not learn from the expertise becoming ignorant artists!


Global Engagement Institute (GEI) // Inspire. Empower. Impact.
Our Study Abroad Programs offer international students accredited field courses, internships, clinical rotations and research opportunities via our Learning Centers and Social Innovation Labs in Africa and Asia.
Our Professional Development Programs offer international professionals and students continuing education courses, trainings, conferences and volunteer opportunities to help develop local professional capacity in Africa and Asia.
Our Faculty-Led and Custom Programs are for institutional partners who desire to provide a safe, inspiring and empowering experience to their delegations. We work in 18 destinations in East and Southern Africa and Southeast Asia.
GEI's Social Innovation Labs in South Africa, Rwanda, Kenya and Vietnam aspire to drive collective social impact in the host countries by researching, designing and implementing out-of-the-box solutions with and for local communities. During accredited 3-week field courses, student teams first develop key skills through classroom learning, workshops, field visits and general cultural immersion. They then spend two weeks working in interdisciplinary service-learning teams to address a specific social innovation topic in partnership with local entrepreneurs and civil society leaders.
The Center for Mindful Self-Compassion (CMSC) and GEI invite professionals and students interested in Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) to join a unique training retreat. International delegations travel to Vietnam or Kenya to engage with local professionals and enjoy an MSC intensive course. Mindful Self-Compassion can be learned – more correctly, remembered – by anyone. It is one essential foundation of emotional healing. Every person who signs up to attend will allow two local people to also participate in the program, thereby meeting the main pre-requisite for attending MSC Teacher Training in the future.
The 3-week Global Health field course in Rwanda and Vietnam introduces concepts of global health from a unique African or Asian perspective. Students learn about the local healthcare system and study one major public health concern in particular – infection prevention and control (IPC) in healthcare settings. A week of skills development through classroom learning, workshops, field visits and general cultural immersion is followed by two weeks of service-learning at Rwandan or Vietnamese hospitals and health centers. Here, they work hand in hand with service providers to help assess and discuss different ways to minimize public health risks.

First Highland Cattle in New Zealand
(This is a reprint of an article that first appeared in "Highland Fold News" Issue No 5, 2003)
Over the years various parties have made a number of claims and counter claims, as to exactly when the first Highland animal set foot on New Zealand soil. The absolute truth of the matter is clouded in deep mist heavier and thicker than the worst possible night within the Glens of the High Vales. It probably needs to be accepted that finite and irrefutable proof will never be firmly established. However examining and debating the merits of each case over a 'long dram' on a cold night makes life a little more interesting. The following case never the less requires serious consideration.
Tim Murray, a retired Mackenzie Country runholder who after retirement lived a Pleasant Point in the South Island, until his death, presents one of the more solid cases for the New Zealand First. He clearly recalls that in the 1920's his Grandfather Mr George Murray, who at the time owned Braemar Station in the Mackenzie Country, imported direct from Scotland a number of Highland Bulls and Cows.
Tim's own father, Mr Bruce Murray, sailed to Scotland to select and purchase the animals. Once his task was completed, he then hired an experienced Scottish Cattle Shepherd to look after the stock on their boat journey to New Zealand. Tim Murray cannot recall the exact date involved and his Grandfather's diaries were destroyed by fire, but Donald Burnett of Mt Cook Station, who was a lad at the time, can recall the excitement on the wharf that the Highland's arrival created. Tim goes on with his story saying that the cattle were transported to Braemar Station where they were bred in fenced paddocks and in that situation were easy enough to handle. However, when let out to higher blocks of the Station, tended to revert to their original wild demeanour.
"My Grandfather decided to send them down country to his Temuka Farm to fatten them but getting them to the Temuka saleyards and then railing them from Temuka to Addington was something of an ordeal. The Highland cattle proved to be quite cantankerous and I recall being told that my Grandfather purchased beer at the Temuka Pub to give to the handlers to provide them with Dutch courage. The cattle eventually arrived at Addington and were sold but, as soon as they were put with other cattle they went berserk, one rushing across a Christchurch backyard, through the back door of the house and out the front - to the owners consternation".
Tim Murray remembers that the Christchurch stock agents, Matsons, politely wrote to his Grandfather saying that they were happy to continue to do business with him but "please do not send anymore Highland Cattle".

Great comparison! But did you compare these website builders from the search engine friendless point of view? Which builder creates the better SE-optimized pages? I tried to make some pages on Wix but it generates a really mess JS code, w/o normal HTML and very strange page urls like domain.com/#!toasp/c1f7gfk. What do you thinks about it? Also is the mobile-first approach so important for good SE ranking as mentioned all over the web?

At first sight, website design to a viewer appears to be the visuals seen on a web page. But the fact is that a whole gamut of techniques and skills are involved in creating a web page design to give it the desired look. So, web design is about deciding on a lot of elements such as the layout, graphics, colors, fonts, structure, content, text styles, interactive features, imagery, interface, standardized code, etc. It involves a wide range of skills and disciplines. Professional website design is the one that maintains an appropriate balance in the different elements and ensures consistency and integrity of the design.
Dynamic phone numbers - one of my favorite ways to track website goals is through phone tracking. Any service-based company or local business should consider installing a system where the contact phone number on your website changes according to how the user got to it. This helps you determine if you're meeting your goal by separating phone calls from your online profiles from that of paid campaigns to direct traffic, and even organic traffic.
Web design encompasses many different skills and disciplines in the production and maintenance of websites. The different areas of web design include web graphic design; interface design; authoring, including standardised code and proprietary software; user experience design; and search engine optimization. Often many individuals will work in teams covering different aspects of the design process, although some designers will cover them all. The term web design is normally used to describe the design process relating to the front-end (client side) design of a website including writing markup. Web design partially overlaps web engineering in the broader scope of web development. Web designers are expected to have an awareness of usability and if their role involves creating markup then they are also expected to be up to date with web accessibility guidelines.

Here's a Halloween card that uses two challenges.
First, I used the MojoMonday#419 here. And this also qualifies for the Can You Case It#90-anything Halloween. A Little Something and Teeny Tiny Wishes are the stamp sets with some Schoolhouse DSP.
First, I used the Splitcoast Card Sketch#561 here. And second the PPA Color Challenge#271 here. The colors to use are Hello Honey, Old Olive and Soft Suede. Perfect Pennants is the stamp set with some Brights Color Collection DSP Stack.
This card came together quickly thanks to the Freshly Made Sketch#207 here. Lots of Joy and Teeny Tiny Wishes are the stamp sets with some Merry Moments DSP.
This card is for two challenges. First, I used the sketch at Can You Case It#89 here. And second, the TGIFC#23 here. It's a color challenge to use Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie. Naturally I thought of Halloween and so I used the darling stamp set, Wickedly Sweet, from the September 2015 Paper Pumpkin. There's also some Typeset Specialty DSP.
This bright and bold Christmas card is for the MojoMonday Sketch#418 here. Your Presents is the stamp set with some Merry Moments DSP.
This card is for a color challenge and a sketch challenge. First, I used the Create with Connie & Mary#375 here. And second, the PPA Color Challenge#270 here. The colors to use are Blackberry Bliss, Sahara Sand and Always Artichoke. Initially I thought of a fall card but then went with a Christmas card. Flurry of Wishes is the stamp set.
Back to Christmas cards. This one uses the Splitcoast Sketch Challenge#560 here. Holly Jolly Greetings is the stamp set with some Merry Moments DSP.


The cover of my first ebook!
This book grew out of the Viva Survivor workshop that I have run since 2010 and from my work producing the Viva Survivors Podcast that I started in 2012. People kept telling me that they were worried that they would fail their viva, and that thought really stuck with me. How would you go about doing that? What would you do if you wanted to fail?
And more importantly, what can you do to prepare for the viva?

Discussion in 'Hotel and Travel reviews' started by Anne, Oct 9, 2018.
We just came back from Majorca/Mallorca, Spain 3 weeks ago and we have had a fab time. The in-laws booked a week long holiday through Thomas Cook for us to enjoy and experience our 1st trip abroad as a family. Our 2 year old did really well the whole time.
The hotel we stayed in was adequate and the service and staff were excellent. It is called Sol Alcudia Aparthotel. 500 yards from the sea, has it's own pool and loads of activities for families especially children. We smashed Quiz Night too!
There are hotels around that are for adults only and enough for families too. Would love to go back in the island. The time we spent there was just lovely!
Oh that's great I'm off to Santa Ponsa on Saturday.
I had a holiday in Alcudia some years ago, nice place.
We went past that town when we went to see the caves in Porto Cristo.
I visited Majorca several times many years ago . My memories for two holidays there, consist of it raining every day for a week in Alcudia , and the best Spanish Omlette I have ever tasted , in Santa Ponsa .
Spain was a great inexpensive holiday destination then .
Elsa and I are in Santa Ponsa now, it's been a warm day, no rain and a pleasant 25 Celsius.
Alcudia tends to more windier and colder than the south coast.


My name is Adina Scharfenberg. I am a freelance photographer in Berlin, Germany.
Photography is my passion. Music is my passion. Why not combine both? For as long as I can remember, I've been taking pictures.
I am available for live shows, promo shoots, portraits and brand partnerships. Interested in working with me? Have an idea? Write me!

Increased government spending and private sector spending on replacing equipment in retail and commercial installations contributed to hefty growth in the video surveillance market, says IHS Markit.
LONDON — The world market for professional video surveillance equipment grew by 9.3% last year, according to new findings from IHS Markit. This compares to a growth of 3.9% in 2016 and just 1.9% in 2015.
IHS Markit contributes the growth to increased government spending on equipment to fight crime and terrorism, as well as private sector spending on replacing equipment in retail and commercial installations.
While the global demand for security cameras increased rapidly in 2017, averaged prices continued to fall. However, revenue continued to grow in most countries, the top ones being Brazil and India.
An increase in demand for security cameras is expected in 2018, but a slightly lower of level of price erosion is also forecast. The combination of these factors is said to lead to 10.2% growth in the video surveillance equipment market, which will reach $18.5 billion in 2018.
The top 15 vendors accounted for 62% of global revenue in 2017.
62% of all security cameras shipped in 2017 were network cameras.
Though deep learning-enabled recorders and servers, a new category this year, are an important element in powering what many expect to be the next generation of video analytics using artificial intelligence, they accounted for just 1% of global market revenues in 2017.


Why wouldn't President Obama and his family want to sign up for ObamaCare and be on the program for the rest of their lives? The program carries his name. They should be honored to have such a prestigious program named after their family name, and they should be the first people to tell the world that they've signed up for ObamaCare.
President Obama and Michelle, with their daughters in tow, should come out before the watching world, sit down with all the forms that are required to be filled out, and enroll in ObamaCare. A film crew should follow the Obama family as they go a local DC doctor for checkups. No more special medical treatment. The president and his family should have the same access to medical care as the rest of us, or I should say, the rest of us should have the same medical care as the president and his family.
Let us all see the Obamas participate in the system that's named after them.
But let's not stop with the President and his family. The Supreme Court justices should do the same, especially John Roberts. Again, no special treatment. If they want to see a doctor, let them make an appointment and sit in the waiting room like everybody else.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) said that the House would attempt to pass a bill requiring all Obama administration officials to sign up for Obamacare. Currently, Obama administration officials are not subject to the health care exchanges that they insist Americans pay for federally. Congress members are forced to join the exchanges, but are federally subsidized to do so.
Does Castro live like the people of Cuba? Did Hugo Chavez? "Socialism for thee, but not for me," is the operating slogan in Washington.
Many Americans are not aware that when Social Security was implemented in the 1930s, Congress exempted itself. It wasn't until 1983 that new government workers were brought into the system. For nearly 50 years the hoi polloi worker bees were forced into a program where money was taken from them and their employers in order to fund a program that is on the verge of bankruptcy while Congress was above it all.
Congress had its own very generous retirement program. So in addition to being able to tell voters what to do, Congress gets their precious healthcare subsidized on our dime.
Wouldn't it be great (although it would be immoral) to be able to pass laws that affect everybody else while those who pass the laws get direct financial benefit from those laws? It happens every day in Washington.
There's a story in this that the Republicans are not taking advantage of. You can probably guess why they aren't pushing hard to tell the story. They're afraid that Americans will get a glimpse of the privileged status of their elected officials.

Heterogeneity of Macrolide-Lincosamide-Streptogramin B Resistance Phenotypes in Enterococci
Yu Hong Min, Jae Hee Jeong, Yun Jeong Choi, Hee Jeong Yun, Kyungwon Lee, Mi Ja Shim, Jin Hwan Kwak, Eung Chil Choi
We determined the macrolide resistance phenotypes of 241 clinical isolates of erythromycin-resistant enterococci (MICs, ≥1 μg/ml), including 147 Enterococcus faecalis strains and 94 Enterococcus faecium strains, collected from a hospital in Seoul, Korea, between 1999 and 2000. By the erythromycin (40 μg)-josamycin (100 μg) double-disk test, 93 strains were assigned to the constitutive macrolide, lincosamide, and streptogramin B (MLSB) resistance (cMLSB) phenotype, and the remaining 148 strains were assigned to the inducible MLSB resistance (iMLSB) phenotype. Of the strains with the iMLSB phenotype, 36 exhibited a reversibly inducible MLSB (riMLSB) phenotype, i.e., blunting of the erythromycin zone of inhibition, which indicates that the 16-membered-ring macrolide josamycin is a more effective inducer than the 14-membered-ring macrolide erythromycin. Sequence analysis of the regulatory regions of the erm(B) genes from all of the strains exhibiting the riMLS B phenotype revealed not only erm(Bv) [where v represents variant; previously erm (AMR)] (n = 13), as reported previously, but also three kinds of erm(B) variants, which were designated erm(Bv1) (n = 17), erm(Bv2) (n = 3), and erm(Bv3) (n = 3), respectively. In lacZ reporter gene assays of these variants, the 16-membered-ring macrolide tylosin had stronger inducibility than erythromycin at 20.1 μg/ml. These findings highlight the versatility of erm(B) in induction specificity.
