Cambodian Court Jails Seven Activists For Bed Protest
Protestors demand the release of seven Boeung Kak activists outside the municipal court in Phnom Penh, Nov. 11, 2014.
Seven women activists who placed a bed in the middle of a busy road in Cambodia's capital to highlight flooding problems were slapped with a maximum penalty of one year in jail each for obstructing traffic on Tuesday, in a verdict condemned by rights groups as excessive and politically motivated.
Outspoken land campaigner Tep Vanny and six other activists were also fined 2 million riel (U.S. $490) each for placing a bed in the middle of a Phnom Penh street during a protest that caused a severe traffic jam, according to Am Sam Ath, senior investigator for rights group Licadho.
They were given the maximum sentence under Article 78 of Cambodia's Traffic Law. All seven will appeal the conviction.
Police arrested the protesters on Monday after removing the bed they used to highlight flooding in Phnom Penh's Boeung Kak community they claim was caused by a development project backed by Lao Meng Khin, a lawmaker from Prime Minister Hun Sen's ruling Cambodia People's Party (CPP).
Am Sam Ath condemned the verdict and told RFA's Khmer Service that the CPP had wanted to teach the protesters a lesson after they drew public attention to the flooding they say has inundated their homes since last week, despite repeated calls on the government to clear drains surrounding the community.
"If the courts were independent, they would have been released," he said, adding that the judge should have also punished police and security guards for using "excessive force" to arrest the protesters.
"The guards and police sexually harassed the female protesters and abused them, but the authorities claimed they disturbed traffic."
Am Sam Ath said Hun Sen's government has yet to resolve the nation's land ownership crisis, which stems from the bloody Khmer Rouge era of the 1970s, and that the sentence was meant to warn victims of disputes against coming to the capital to petition the authorities for help with their cases.
According to local media, five of the defendants—including Tep Vanny—already had standing convictions from 2012 for protesting against evictions taking place in Boeung Kak, where the community's lake has been filled in to make way for the development project.
In that case, the municipal court both charged the "Boueng Kak 13" with obstructing public officials and illegally occupying land, and sentenced them to two-and-a-half years in prison on the same day. They were released a month later after appealing their case, but their convictions were upheld.
Am Sam Ath said authorities also arrested three laymen and a monk who held a protest demanding the release of the seven women outside the court on Tuesday, and that they were being held at the Phnom Penh Municipal Police Headquarters pending a trial expected Wednesday.
Call for release
New York-based Human Rights Watch on Tuesday called the arrest and sentencing of the seven women "absolutely ludicrous" and demanded their immediate release, saying members of the group had simply exercised their right to nonviolent protest.
"Every time there is a protest at Boeung Kak Lake, the authorities look to arrest and sentence people—frankly, this is not acceptable," said Phil Robertson, deputy director of Human Rights Watch's Asia Division.
Robertson said that the conviction of the seven women, just one day after their arrest, raised "very serious concerns … about fair trial procedures."
"The Cambodian courts are hardly independent—they are completely controlled by the CPP … and whatever the Cambodian People's Party wants to see as a result in the court it can order that to be done," he said.
"So when we see actions against activists like this, it's quite clear that there is a political hand behind it."
Robertson called on the Washington-based World Bank, the Manila-based Asian Development Bank and other donors to Cambodia to pressure Phnom Penh for their release.
The World Bank had halted funding to Cambodia in 2011 after state security forces helped to violently evict thousands of families from Boeung Kak Lake and last month said it had not yet reached a decision on whether to lift its ban on loans to the country.
Residents of the Boeung Kak community have battled authorities for years over the eviction of thousands of families to make way for a development project that has yet to materialize.
Several dozen families are still waiting for land titles owed to them after Hun Sen in 2011 reclaimed part of the concession awarded to Lao Meng Khin's Shukaku company in 2007.
Opposition arrest
Also on Tuesday, the head of the CNRP's information department, Meach Sovannara, was arrested and thrown in Prey Sar Prison on the order of Phnom Penh Municipal Court judge Keo Mony, pending trial on charges of insurrection and inciting violence, according to his lawyer Chan Chen.
Meach Sovannara, who is also director of the opposition Khmer Post Radio, was hauled out of his car in Phnom Penh by security forces and escorted away in a police vehicle as authorities read out a warrant for his arrest, the lawyer said.
He will be tried under articles 28, 218, 459, and 495 of Cambodia's penal code for his alleged involvement in a violent July 15 protest by CNRP supporters at Freedom Park in the capital. If convicted, he could serve a maximum of 30 years in prison.
"This is very unjust for my client—the judge abused his rights and dignity," Chan Chen told RFA, adding that Meach Sovannara was innocent of the allegations against him.
"Even though my client was there, he didn't incite anyone to riot. My client asked demonstrators to calm down and love each other, and not resort to violence."
Chan Chen said Keo Mony had not responded to his request to have Meach Sovannara freed on bail and that he would appeal the judge's order if his client was not released within five days.
The arrest comes one day after CNRP and CPP working teams failed to agree on the remaining 10 percent of a draft law to overhaul the country's electoral process.
The reforms were initiated as part of a deal made in July to end the opposition's boycott of parliament following disputed national polls a year earlier.
CNRP spokesman Yim Sovann suggested that Meach Sovannara's arrest was politically motivated and called on the government to release him immediately.
"The CPP must implement the agreement dated July 22—there shouldn't be any more pressure," he said.
"We are assisting him through this process. Senior members of the CNRP will talk with their CPP counterparts to resolve this case."
Senior CPP official and parliament spokesman Chheang Von refused to comment on the arrest.

Cancer in Cambodia.( The smart dictator and traitor Hen Sen create the court system to control Cambodia,but the stupid Sam rang si and khem sokha lead Cambodia people into one eye Hun Sen trap.) Most Khmer people who have higher education especially politician do thing stupid,dumb,retard,and sick in the mind.)
Spottagus
from Lowell,MA
First time when I visited Cambodia, my uncle who used to work as police officer there, told me that his salary is only $40 a month. His wife had to sell something at the market to have second income so they could make a living. He said Cambodia is so corrupted. He asked me how much police officer salary over in the u.s? I told him ranging from $50000 to $85000 a year. Then, he was laughing so hard and food were splashing from his mouth because it is like heaven and hell. He served for the country and risked his life and the corrupted government have a nice villa and eating good food and have an expensive cars.
If you are look at Hun Sen family, that has been laying out just like Network Topology and transfer packets or information like data flows online so secure. For instance, look at below:
1. Hun Sen - Prime Minister
2. Wife (Bun Rany) - Red Cross
3. Son (Hun Manet) - 2 Star General
4. Daughter (Hun Mana) - Director of TV
Wake up cambodian people!!! What does this telling you? Is it a coincident gift to the family or a well plan setup to control to keep the legacy lives on? When I show this to my American friends, they said it is smart moved and well designed. They said it already rooted to the bottom floor and can't remove it. This will live on...
How many times I have said that is it for Cambodia? No one can fix it once the core law system is broken. Hun sen came out of the jungle after joining the Khmer Rouge. Then, he became a prime minister until now for which he has been obsessing by the power evil to rule. He quite knew that it wasn't easy to have this gift or power. So, for him to retain this legacy alive, he engineered the system so called "Power Topology" comparable to the concept of "Network Topology". This system will manage and monitor by it layer which consisting of seven layers. So, to clean corruption, you must start from the top down to one.
from Long Beach
The CPP is so unqualified to lead. So what if your home is flooded? They don't care, they tell you to bear it and find somewhere else to live. Really??? What are you thinking? Are you even thinking at all? These poor women just want to raise an important issue because they need a dry home and they probably cannot afford to stay somewhere else. What if YOUR house was flooded and some richer and more powerful person made you stay in your personal swamp until the water somehow goes away? Wouldn't you protest.
By the way, Phnom Penh should expect more flooding due to a) the small pipes that can only take in so much water, b) those small pipes getting clogged by trash, c) no where to drain the extra water (bad idea to fill in lakes) and d) no one in the government really cares one way or the other.
So government indifference will probably lead Phnom Penh to be the Venice of Asia in a bad way because no one is prepared for the massive floods that are coming. The expenses from the damage will be much more than the cost of a bed.

7 Keys to Success for People in The Seventies
Attitude, Relationships
Note: This post is written by Daniela McVicker
Each decade and the generation that comes of age in that decade creates its own definition of success.
In many ways, the seventies was a transitional decade. It began when the anti-war sentiment was powerful in the country and when people were rejecting materialism in favor of social justice. However, by the end of the decade, things had shifted, and people felt differently about making money and obtaining material goods.
Have you ever wondered if you could have been a success in the seventies? Take a look and see! Here are seven keys to success for people in the seventies.
1. Athletic Talent
Many of the most famous people from the 1970s were successful athletes. These include Mark Spitz, Billie Jean King, Chris Everett, Muhammad Ali, and Hank Aaron.
The success of these professional and Olympic athletes inspired an entire generation of people to become active in sports. It also cemented athletic talent as a definite key to success.
2. Great Fashion Sense
In the seventies, whether you were spending an evening at a trendy nightclub, impressing your boss and coworkers in a staff meeting, or just going for a jog, you wanted to dress to impress. In fact, there were few professionals who didn't keep a copy of the famous, how to dress yourself manual, Dress for Success, handy.
This book was considered to be the guideline to dressing for dates, work, and casual fun. While much of the advice in the book has gone out of favor, the book is credited with teaching people to match their accessories with their socks and shoes.
3. A Killer Physique
Imagine looking at the help wanted ads today and seeing the following:
Receptionist needed. Slim, blond preferred. Don't apply if overweight.
Bicycle messengers needed, height weight proportionate. Must have a 'beach physique'
In the seventies, job advertisements that dictated physical appearance requirements were quite common. In fact, there were entire industries, such as the airline industry, where people could be excluded for weighing too much or being deemed unattractive.
Of course, searching for a job wasn't the only situation in which strong emphasis was placed on being attractive. Commercial advertisements, TV shows, and magazines all focused quite strongly on the importance of being beautiful.
4. Being in Tune with Oneself
In the seventies, it became more and more popular to dedicate time and effort to self-care. People began taking up yoga, visiting massage therapists, spending time at resort spas, and flocking to places like Hot Springs, AK and Tempe, AZ to enjoy vacations spent finding both physical and spiritual renewal.
It was believed that the more in tune with yourself and centered you were, the more successful you could become. In the same vein, being able to engage in these activities was also seen as a sign of success.
5. The Ability to Make Friends with Others
I'm Okay, You're Okay, How to Win Friends and Influence People, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, all of these are self help books that were extremely popular in the 1970s. Each one of these books had one thing in common. They all forwarded the idea that getting along with others and developing a likable personality was key to becoming a successful business person, family member, spouse, and friend.
The result of this was that leaders began developing a more familiar, less authoritarian style of leadership. Today, many successful business leaders still adopt that style of leadership.
6. A Clean Cut Lifestyle
If you ever have the chance to look at resume written in the seventies, there is a good chance that you will see statements written specifically for the purpose of demonstrating that the candidate was of high moral character.
For example, a single woman looking for a job would never want to give the appearance that she spent time in Discos or dated frequently. Because of this, she would add entries to her resume that made her look as if she lived as pure a life as possible. This might include noting that she is a Sunday school teacher, a member of knitters guild, and that she lived at home.
Although they weren't as strict, there were certain moral standards applied to men as well. Imagine if the employers of the seventies had access to something like Facebook 40 years ago!
7. A Willingness to Accept Different Lifestyles and New Social Norms
The sixties may have been a revolutionary decade where hippies and other groups spent their time sending out messages of peace, civil rights, gender equality, and acceptance, but it was the seventies when these ideas began reaching the mainstream.
Take the popular show 'All in The Family'. The show centered around the patriarch of the family, Archie Bunker. Archie had extremely bigoted ideas about members of different races and religions, and about women's rights. However, the show was able to demonstrate that beneath the surface, Archie was capable of dropping his prejudices, accepting people he thought he could never accept, and evolving as a human being.
Learning acceptance wasn't just a nice thing to do in the seventies. It was something that was necessary to becoming successful both in work and in life.
Daniela McVicker is an author, psychologist and educator. She believes that success depends on knowing the ideas that allow you to manage and master the universe of information. For more information you may check her project TopWritersReview or follow Daniela onTwitter.

The Golden Boys are though to the Fourth Round of the FA cup
Published on: 10th January 2016 | By: The Newsdesk | Category: Uncategorized
A strike from Troy Deeney led the Golden Boys to victory against the Magpies yesterday (January 9). The only goal goal of the game, scored in the 44th minute, sent Watford into the Fourth Round of the FA cup. Front-man Obbi Oulare made his debut for Watford during the game against the Magpies. Oulare was delighted to finally take to the Vicarage Road surface and show what he can do. He told the Watford Weekend Post-Match Review on Hornets PlayerHD: "I'm just really happy to make my debut, and I'm happy that we won and are through to the next round. "It wasn't easy after four months of not really playing. I was tired and had to adapt to the system, new tactics and of course to my team-mates." Oulare, who signed for the Hornets in the summer from Club Brugge, played 45 minutes at Vicarage Road as Quique Sanchez Flores made changes. Sebastian Prödl replacing Miguel Britos in the only alteration to the back four. Adlène Guedioura replaced Étienne Capoue in central midfield, with the Algerian making his first start for the Golden Boys since re-joining on a permanent basis in the summer. Watford will welcome Newcastle to Vicarage Road in a fortnight's time, this time in the Premier League.

Before the passage of the Hindu Widow's Re-marriage Act of 1856, Hindu tradition required a woman to live as a virtual outcast after her husband's death. Widows were expected to shave their heads, discard their jewelry, live in seclusion, and undergo regular acts of penance. This book's author was the first Indian intellectual to argue successfully against these strictures. The author was a leading proponent of widow marriage in colonial India, urging his contemporaries to reject a ban that caused countless women to suffer needlessly. The author's strategy paired a rereading of Hindu scripture with an emotional plea on behalf of the widow, resulting in an organic reimagining of Hindu law and custom.

In thirteenth-century Maharashtra, a new vernacular literature emerged to challenge the hegemony of Sanskrit, a language largely restricted to men of high caste. In a vivid and accessible idiom, this new Marathi literature inaugurated a public debate over the ethics of social difference grounded in the idiom of everyday life. The arguments of vernacular intellectuals pushed the question of social inclusion into ever-wider social realms, spearheading the development of a nascent premodern public sphere that valorized the quotidian world in sociopolitical terms. The Quotidian Revolution examines this pivotal moment of vernacularization in Indian literature, religion, and public life by investigating courtly donative Marathi inscriptions alongside the first extant texts of Marathi literature: the Līlācaritra (1278) and the Jñāneśvarī (1290). Novetzke revisits the influence of Chakradhar (c. 1194), the founder of the Mahanubhav religion, and Jnandev (c. 1271), who became a major figure of the Varkari religion, to observe how these avant-garde and worldly elites pursued a radical intervention into the social questions and ethics of the age. Drawing on political anthropology and contemporary theories of social justice, religion, and the public sphere, The Quotidian Revolution explores the specific circumstances of this new discourse oriented around everyday life and its lasting legacy: widening the space of public debate in a way that presages key aspects of Indian modernity and demLess

Annually, during the months of autumn, Bengal hosts three interlinked festivals to honor its most important goddesses: Durgā, Kālī, and Jagaddhātrī. While each of these deities possesses a distinct iconography, myth, and character, they are all martial. Durgā, Kālī, and Jagaddhātrī often demand blood sacrifice as part of their worship and offer material and spiritual benefits to their votaries. Richly represented in straw, clay, paint, and decoration, they are similarly displayed in elaborately festooned temples, thronged by thousands of admirers. Recounting the history of these festivals and their revelry, rivalry, and nostalgic power, this book maps a major public event. The book describes the festivals' origins and growth under British rule. It identifies their iconographic conventions and carnivalesque qualities and their relationship to the fierce, Tantric sides of ritual practice. The book confronts controversies over the tradition of blood sacrifice and the status-seekers who compete for symbolic capital. The book goes beyond Bengal's borders to trace the transformation of the goddesses and their festivals across the world. This text underscores the role of holidays in cultural memory, specifically the Bengali evocation of an ideal, culturally rich past. Under the thrall of the goddess, the social, political, economic, and religious identity of Bengalis takes shape.Less

Samsung Galaxy S4 May Fall Short of Supply due to Overwhelming Demand
9:37 PM Jalal HB No comments
Just yesterday we informed our readers about an announcement by T-Mobile that their delivery schedule may be pushed forward from 24th to 29th April. But now it seems Samsung's 2013 flagship Galaxy S4 will face more supply problems due to its overwhelming demand.
A Samsung official has been quoted as saying: "We expect to fulfill inventory to meet demands in the coming weeks."
The issues have already affected two U.S. carriers. Sprint Nextel will still offer the phone via its Web site and telesales on April 27, but gave no word on when it would actually have the phone in stores. T-Mobile delayed its launch by five days to April 29, and likewise said it would be limited to online availability.

You Are Causing Crisis In Edo...Oyegun Tells Adams Oshiomhole
CKN NIGERIA Published: June 24, 2019
A former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has accused his successor, Adams Oshiomhole, of engaging in anti-party activities by creating distractions for Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki and heightening the tension in the state with his activities against the governor.
But Oshiomhole has tasked those accusing him of plotting to be a godfather in Edo State to provide the proof.
Reacting to the decision of the APC National Working Committee (NWC) on the crisis rocking the Edo State House of Assembly, Oyegun said in a statement by his Special Assistant on Political Affairs, Ray Murphy, that Obaseki should be allowed to concentrate on presiding over the affairs of the state.
The former APC national chairman said he was yet to come to terms with the fact that Governor Obaseki is not receiving the highest distractions from the opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but from his predecessor who is also the chairman of his party.
"This party must be stronger because we cannot go into the 2023 general election with these discordant tunes, especially as President Buhari will not be contesting. We need to get our acts together. Oyegun has no personal grievances with Oshiomhole but Nigerians must know that he cannot go to equity with unclean hands.
"Today, there are all kinds of rancour coming from Edo State. They all boil down to attempt by godfather and godfatherism that is hitting up the polity in the state. Obaseki is the executive governor of Edo State and he should be allowed to exercise the powers vested on him by the law. To what purpose is this idea of the APC chairman putting the state under tension?
"As a governor under APC platform, he should be allowed to run out his tenure before they decide whether to bring him back or not. There are so much antics going on and you don't need to be a prophet or babalawo to trace where they are coming from. They are coming from the APC.
"I want to think that they are all targeted at weakening the governor of Edo State. Ordinarily, the man in Edo should be given every support so that he can succeed to fend off the opposition PDP already around the corner.
"Ask anybody from Edo State; what is Obaseki's biggest distraction and they will tell you that his distraction is not whether he has governed well or not, but from his immediate predecessor, Adams Oshiomhole.
"It is very unfortunate, especially considering the fact that he is the national chairman of the same party with the governor. I have not heard that PDP or Edo leaders want to remove Obaseki. What has been trending is how his predecessor who happens to be the party chairman does not want him back in the office.
"If his actions against Obaseki are not anti-party, someone should then explain to me what is anti-party. The problem of the APC is from a singular man; the national chairman who runs the party like an executive chairman. The idea of working singlehanded and inducing the party members to endorse is the problem of the party.
"Look at what is happening in the party today. When was the last time the NEC meeting was held, but when these crises came to the fore, he has called several emergency NWC meetings," he said.
However, Oshiomhole has tasked those accusing him of plotting to be a godfather in Edo State to provide the proof.
He spoke with State House correspondents on the allegation that he was masterminding the crisis in the Edo State House of Assembly because he wanted to become a godfather and to dictate what happens in the state.
Stressing that he is a democrat, he recalled that he fought against godfatherism to emerge governor in Edo State.
He also said that he would not need short-cut to sustain his position in the system.
He said "What is the evidence? It's all about accusation. The media has a duty. They have to give you the particulars of that godfatherism. What's the evidence? I am a democrat.
"That I accept the credit, not only that I fought godfatherism, I launched the one-man one-vote campaign to fight against election rigging anywhere in Nigeria and by the special grace of God under PDP (Peoples Democratic Party) with Chief Tony Anenih alive, and at his best, I won all the 18 local government areas and I won 95 per cent of the total votes cast in my second term election.
"So, Edo people know me and I know them. I don't need short-cut to sustain my position in the system. But you know that there is nobody in Nigeria who is not open to accusations. The important thing is that he who accuses should give you proof." he added
Speaking on the ongoing crisis over the inauguration of the Edo State House of Assembly, he said," It's about rule of law. As journalists there are questions you don't need to ask me because you know the answer.
"You know the law provides for how the House should be proclaimed transparently. The day it's announced, members-elect are informed of date and time for inauguration.
"These are clearly spelt out in the Nigerian Constitution. And just last week (about two weeks ago), you were all witnesses to how President Muhammadu Buhari issued proclamation letter to the Clerk many days before, stating date and time of the inauguration of the two chambers of the National Assembly. "Even while we are still negotiating to ensure that our party was not divided on the floor of the House, without prejudice to the outcome of those negotiations, the President issued proclamation because he is obliged by the constitution to do so whether he likes it or not and he did.
"He did it transparently. He has led us by example. For me, it's very embarrassing if any state governor, particularly of APC extraction, will do anything that is less than what the constitution says and the example that our President has set." he said
According to him, the proclamation was not publicised in the case of the Edo State House of Assembly inauguration.
Stressing that the members were not informed, he said that the inauguration took place at 9.30 p.m.
According to him, the time was what a Supreme Court judgment described as "nocturnal hours."
"Business of parliament are done transparently; they are not secret cult. Now you have 24-member House; 19 members protested. You have six and you carry people in their short knickers. Even in the House they have rules, the dress code. So, it happened in Edo, it has happened in Bauchi.
"Like Edo, Bauchi used the minority of 10 to go and proclaim the House and lock out 20 APC members and got those 10 people to elect, exactly the way Edo did with six and then co-opted other three people to become nine and even at that it is nonsense.
"For us, these are completely illegal. And that is why we said so. If it is wrong, it is wrong whether it is done by APC or by PDP; whether is the chairman's state or not. The law is blind to those sentiments. I believe by the end of the day, the solution is returned to the rule of law.
"Let's properly follow the law; let the parliament do what they have to do but people have the right to lobby for people they want and whom they prefer. This is also legitimate. Like you saw in the National Assembly, after all the lobbies people have the right to vote and you saw them in the National Assembly conducting secret ballot.
"We have an APC Senator, who in spite of all the efforts invested by all our leaders including Mr. President, insisted that he will contest. The law allowed him so, we couldn't stop him. The President could have said okay SSS (State Security Services) please find excuse to invite him for questioning the day before; put him away until the elections are over.
"But we won't do that. That is not the change we promised. The change we promised is to try to improve in the ways public institutions are managed and how rules are implemented. I believe that it will be resolved," he said.

Woolley, Alice W.E. Winans Family Geneology. 1987.
Provenance Note:
The volume was a 1910 gift of Charles M. Lum.
Scope and Content Note:
The records consist of an account book dating from 1774-1780 kept by Matthias Winans detailing business transactions at his inn. Each account is labeled with the name of an individual and then notes date, drink or food purchased, and price. Patrons generally purchased such comestibles as brandy, gin, grog, mutton, fish, and dinner. Many of the accounts do not give the details of each transaction, referring instead to a ledger, "blue covered book," or daybook. For patrons who stayed at Mr. Winan's establishment, accounts list length of lodging and related services such as hay or feed for the customer's horse. The account book is indexed and the last page has a "Memorandum of Boarders" which lists prominent lodgers, primarily military officers, who stayed at the inn. Interleaved in the book is an April 25, 1796 inventory of goods to be auctioned belonging to Daniel Kilsey of Rahway

There are so many places in Surprise to enjoy a nice run. From the convenient and picturesque Surprise Community Park to the rugged terrain of White Tank Mountain Regional Park, runners know the best places to go for a good workout. Just make sure you avoid black and blue toenails, which don't look or feel very nice at all and can make it too painful to run.
A subungual hematoma is a fancy way of saying "bleeding under the toenail". This is an extremely painful condition that is usually a result of trauma to the nail. For example, stubbing your toes against a hard surface or dropping something heavy on them will most likely result in blood collecting under the nail. You will notice that your nails become discolored. They may change from red or maroon to purple, black, or blue. There will also be swelling, tenderness, and pain. If you have suffered a crush injury that resulted in a hematoma you should get checked out immediately to make sure you don't have further injuries, such as a fracture.
Usually a small hematoma will heal with no treatment. However, it can be a very painful problem to have, and nobody wants to suffer needlessly. Your doctor may perform a procedure called "decompression" where they allow the blood to drain. Do not ever try this at home by yourself, because you could cause great damage to your nail and your toes. To avoid a subungual hematoma, make sure you are wearing shoes that fit you properly and don't cause your feet to slide around too much. Also try applying ice to your feet after a run to reduce swelling.
For more information on preventing and treating subungual hematomas, call Dr. Viedra Elison at (623) 584-5556 to schedule an appointment at Fixing Feet Institute in Surprise, AZ.


"DONALD TRUMP HARASSED OR ASSAULTED TWENTY WOMEN. CONGRESS: INVESTIGATE TRUMP. #SOTU"
That's the message that women's group Ultra Violet projected onto the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., tonight ahead of President Trump's first State of the Union address before a joint session of Congress. UltraViolet describes itself as "a 1,000,000 strong community that leverages high-profile media moments to hold decision makers accountable, create a cost for sexism, and shine a light on the people and policies that are improving all women's lives." And boy, did they take advantage of tonight's high-profile moment.
"As President Trump takes the podium for his first State of the Union address to the country, he remains accused of sexual harassment or assault from more than 20 women. This is a national shame," explained Karin Roland, chief campaigns officer at UltraViolet. "It is impossible for us to tackle the nation's sexual assault and harassment epidemic when the man who occupies our highest office is facing no accountability for the scores of sexual abuse accusations mounted against him. The pervasiveness of sexual assault and harassment across the country has never been clearer: In the year of #MeToo, survivors have stepped up and called their abusers out, sparking a new wave of urgency and accountability. Congress must investigate sexual harassment and assault allegations against Trump and hold him accountable for his crimes against women immediately."
At least 16 women have accused the president of sexual harassment and misconduct. Trump denies that accusations and the White House has basically said that the women are lying. But in a world where #MeToo and Time's Up are dominating the headlines, many groups will continue to call for an investigation of Trump who thus far has not faced any real consequences for the accusations, unlike other powerful men from Harvey Weinstein to Matt Lauer.
Let's all hope he tweets a response later tonight.


If you are looking to have a good sport to do then you can think of diving. Scuba diving is what you need if you are looking for the best in sports. Before you become one, you need to be fully trained and certified to be a diver. If you are looking to be a great diver then you have to be aware of what you have to put into consideration. You need to consider a good place for training. Scuba dive center are very many. The training that they will offer will be the same. You need to be at least fifteen years old before taking the course. Anyone who is below that and above nine years can go to juniors open water certification.
As you look forward to getting started, you need to learn the many benefits that you will get. You are sure that you will meet many individuals. As you will not learn alone, you are sure you will be many of you. You can also learn about different cultures from them. the sport is very good as you will be comfortable taking it at any age. It allows everyone above the age of fifteen to be free to do that. As a family, you will be able to enjoy vacation and bonding more than before. You have to ensure that you are aware of the gravity. What happens in space is the same thing that will happen when you are in water. You will be in a state of zero gravity. This feels like you are flying. Diving is known to keep one healthy. As you control breathing, you will also be burning calories. You have the benefit of great adventures. When you are a diver, you are sure that you will be able to see all the aquatic animals.

It can also be considered as the best way to relax.
As you look to get the best center to acquire skills in, you have a lot to consider. All the centers are not the same. You need to go to a center that has existed for a good time. It somehow assures you of good training. The course that you select will also help you filter them. They must be offering it. The cost will be the second way to eliminate them. Always work within the budget.

SOPO Editor's Note: Medical doctor Dennis Rasbach became interested in his ancestor's unit during the Civil War. In the course of his research, he realized the 21st Pennsylvania (Dismounted) fought in a brigade from the same division as that of Gettysburg hero Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. He figured, naturally enough, that if he read about Chamberlain's Brigade at Petersburg, he'd also be able to find out where his ancestor's unit fought. He quickly realized, however, that Chamberlain's own account from 30 years after the war didn't really match up with many other accounts from the division as a whole. After some seriously intense research Rasbach knew he had an interesting topic on his hands, and decided to write a book. That book, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain and the Petersburg Campaign: His Supposed Charge from Fort Hell, his Near-Mortal Wound, and a Civil War Myth Reconsidered, will be released by publisher Savas Beatie in early September 2016. Dr. Rasbach was kind enough to agree to several posts about his book which will appear here in the next few weeks, one of which appears here.
These points are very revealing, given the topography of the battlefield.
The Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad curves as it approaches Petersburg, changing from an east-west, to a north-south orientation. As the track moves northward, it gains proximity to the Harris line of Confederate defenses, which is aligned on an almost vertical north-south axis. At Pegram's Salient, north of the Baxter Road, the railroad is roughly 400 yards from the railroad cut; at Rives' Salient, the distance is closer to 1500 yards.
The "Deep Cut" of the Norfolk railroad is primarily north of the Baxter Road, in front of the Taylor house and Pegram's Salient.
Base Map, Area of Chamberlain's Attack on June 18, 1864. Used with Author's Permission. All rights reserved.
Captain Mink's artillery battery was positioned to the Union right of the Taylor house, north of the Baxter Road, on the afternoon of June 18, more than a mile north of Rive's Salient.
The ground in the ravines near the Baxter Road is low and swampy, at the confluence of multiple tributaries of Taylor's Branch (Poor Creek), whereas the ground in front of Rive's Salient is a flat plateau between the Taylor's Branch and Blackwater Creek watersheds.
In order for Chamberlain's attack to have originated, as he says, with his right flank simultaneously on the "Deep Cut" of the Norfolk Railroad and 300-400 yards from the Confederate entrenchments, in proximity to an icehouse and Mink's battery, with swampy ground in the ravine below (which prompted him to order, "Incline to the left," as he fell), it must have occurred near the Baxter Road and Pegram's Salient. These conditions are simply not to be found at the Jerusalem Plank Road and Rives' Salient.

Mario Williams' marriage with the Buffalo Bills didn't seem built to last given his rising salary and production drop-off in head coach Rex Ryan's system last season. On Tuesday, ESPN's Josina Anderson and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Williams was released by the Bills.
Tim Graham of the Buffalo News, citing a source, reported Feb. 25 that Williams was "just waiting to be cut, and the sooner, the better" for the 31-year-old.
Rumblings of Williams' departure from Buffalo, where he has played the last four seasons, have been around since before the conclusion of the 2015 season.
High-priced defensive end Mario Williams will be cut by the Bills this offseason, a person with direct knowledge of discussions told The Associated Press on Thursday. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the team does not publicly discuss its player personnel plans.
No timetable was provided as to when Williams will be cut, but the person said the team's top pass-rushing threat's final game will be Buffalo's home game against the New York Jets (10-5). The Bills (7-8) have already been eliminated from the playoffs.
That came one week after Williams openly criticized Ryan's scheme following a Week 15 loss against Washington, per Mike Rodak of ESPN.com: "If we win and we're 10-4, or whatever, hey, hats off. But if it don't work, yeah, there needs to be a different change. So if one person is singled out as that needs to be done, then so be it. That's not my decision."
Williams did go out on a relative high note with one sack in the Bills' 22-17 win over the New York Jets.
Williams told Anderson (via Rodak) he would be open to discussing a pay cut with the Bills on Feb. 24. In Rodak's report, Ryan said he would "love" to have Williams back before adding, "We'll see how realistic that is."
Williams had cap hits of $19.9 million and $16.5 million for the final two years of his contract, respectively, per Spotrac. Wawrow's report noted the Bills could save $12 million against the salary cap by releasing Williams.
Even though Williams' time in Buffalo ended, he should get another job quickly. The former No. 1 overall pick is just one year removed from setting a career high with 14.5 sacks.
Williams is a pass-rushing specialist who needs to be used in that role. That will limit the number of teams who want to sign him, but there is always room in the NFL for a player with a proven track record of sacking the quarterback.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Underwent Surgery for Pancreatic Cancer
The Supreme Court's only current female justice was hospitalized today and underwent surgery to address a cancerous growth in her abdomen. From the AP:
Ginsburg, 75, had the surgery at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. She will remain in the hospital for seven to 10 days, said her surgeon, Dr. Murray Brennan, according to a release issued by the court. The court announcement said the cancer is apparently in the early stages.
This isn't Ginsburg's first battle with cancer: In 1999, she had surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatment to address colon cancer. The justice recently told clerks that she hoped to serve well into her eighties. Get well soon, Ruth!

At this hour, firefighters from as far away as Cooperstown are fighting a house fire on County Hwy. 35 near Westville, 3 1/2 miles beyond the ONC BOCES outside Milford. The alarm rang at about 11:40 a.m.
I grew up in that house and am gutted.


Grab a loaf of crusty bread, savory Prosciutto di Parma and fresh tomatoes to roast for one incredibly simple and delicious prosciutto sandwich. This one is perfect to pack for an outdoor picnic, or appreciate it as an easy dinner for a quiet night in. Not to mention it's easy enough to make it your own by adding any additional toppings to really make it the ultimate prosciutto sandwich. Complete it by serving alongside a classic wheat beer to add a light citrus flavor to the sandwich without weighing it down. Most importantly: enjoy!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place halved tomatoes on baking sheet, cut side up and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil. Roast until tender, about 30 minutes.
Place Prosciutto di Parma, arugula and tomatoes on bread. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Add salt and pepper, if desired.

Q: How to fix "error: cannot find symbol import io.vertx.core.json" Vertx I followed these steps to install Vert.x on my machine.

*

*Intall OpenJDK : sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

*Test java installation: java -version which is giving me 3 outputs:

*

*openjdk version "1.8.0_242"

*OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_242-8u242-b08-0ubuntu3~18.04-b08)

*OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.242-b08, mixed mode)

*Download latest version of Vert.x at https://vertx.io/

*Untar the downloaded file: tar xzvf vert.x-3.8.5-full.tar.gz

*Make vertx executable: chmod +x vertx/bin/vertx

*Go in the bin folder: cd vertx/bin

*Test Vert.x version: ./vertx version which is giving me 3.8.5 as output

I then created a .java file with the following code in it:
import io.vertx.core.AbstractVerticle;
import io.vertx.core.eventbus.EventBus;

public class Producteur extends AbstractVerticle
{
    public void start() throws Exception
    {
        System.out.println("> Launching...");

        final EventBus eb = vertx.eventBus();

        vertx.setPeriodic(1000, v -> {

            eb.send("canal-ptp", "Hello", reply -> {

                if(reply.succeeded())
                    System.out.println("> Response received : " + reply.result().body());
                else
                    System.out.println("> No response!");
            });
        });
    }
}

This code is working fine when launch with the following command is a terminal:
./vertx run Producteur.java --cluster

But when I add the following import at the beginning of the java file:
import io.vertx.core.json;

I get the following error:

What am I missing? I don't get why the other imports are fine, but this one isn't. In the end, I'd like to replace the "Hello" string with a json object.
Please note that I'm a complete noob with ubuntu/java/vertx overall. Thanks!

A: import io.vertx.core.json;

is not a module you can import.
import io.vertx.core.json.JsonObject;

is.

Biden: The COVID-19 pandemic is over
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA – MARCH 12: Medical personnel secure a sample from a person at a drive-thru Coronavirus COVID-19 testing station at a Kaiser Permanente facility on March 12, 2020 in San Francisco, California. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
UPDATED 8:35 AM PT –Monday, September 19, 2022
Joe Biden has declared that the COVID-19 pandemic is over.
During a CBS News 60 Minutes interview on Sunday, Biden affirmed it might be time to move on. The Democrat said the country should continue still exercise caution with COVID-19 and that work still needs to be done in order to get the virus under control.
The World Health Organization (WHO) still designates the virus as a 'public health emergency of international concern.'
While Biden was attending a car show in Detroit, Michigan, he talked to a 60 Minutes reporter and made it clear that people were not masked and were living normally.
"The pandemic is over. We still have a problem with COVID, we're still doing a lot of work on it, but the pandemic is over. If you notice, no one is wearing masks, everyone seems to be in pretty good shape and so I think it's changing and I think this is a perfect example of it."
Despite Biden's recent remarks, last month the White House extended the public health emergency declaration for COVID-19 through October 13th. The Biden administration is continuing its policy on vaccine mandates.

"Can you smell something? Smell of moist soil?" I asked my colleague who sat next to my cubicle.
No answer I had….till I got up to the window and observed with my eagle eyes to catch some water drops on some objects.
It was already dark…so much of deliverables, would take at least another three hours to complete the task. I sat in the second floor, so I asked my colleague to accompany me for a quick break…..Actually, my mind was inquisitive and eager to have some more smell of wet soil.
We went downstairs. I could see some water clot in front of the office gate. Cars became slower on the road. I asked the guard when it rained and how long.
"It rained catch and dog for at least an hour…." Guard replied with a strange look…..thinking how we did not know about it?
Multi stories buildings, RCC structures…..where we live, we work….we may miss it…..I thought. I came back...searched from where I got the smell. Opened the window fully, saw few big flower tubs just outside the glass windows.
Just thought....Life became different, modern…….But can I forget the earthy aroma when the rain drops fall on the soil….the lovely soothing sound of rain when it fall on the hay or tin roof……Felt like going back decades…..to live amidst the greenery….live in a small cottage…….where there is no scarcity of earthy fragrance…..enjoy the melodious sound of rain…….

APD pulls out of Marshals Service task forces
The Albuquerque Police Department has pulled a detective out of a U.S. Marshals Service task force, and won't assign any more officers to the unit, saying Marshals Service's use-of-force policies aren't in line with APD rules.
The decision to yank the detective from the task force was made last year under former Mayor Richard Berry's administration. It stemmed from a May, 2016 fatal shooting in which the APD officers had to come to the rescue of a task force member.
Apparently, the U.S. Marshals Service hasn't given APD access to its operational polices, according to Ed Harness, executive director of the Civilian Police Oversight Agency.
APD spokesman Gilbert Gallegos told ABQReport that the decision to no longer participate in Marshal Service task forces was made last year .
"The Department previously had one APD officer assigned to a task force with the U.S. Marshal's Service. The task force was involved in officer-involved shootings in which tactics and follow-up reviews of the use of force were not in line with APD's operational policies," Gallegos said. "As a result, APD is not currently assigning an officer to that task force, but the department continues to assign officers to other federal partners."
The issue came to light on Tuesday during a meeting of the Police Oversight Board's Case Review Subcommittee. Harness said that in October 2017, APD's Force Review Board was told that APD investigators couldn't get access to the Marshal Service's policies.
""There is an officer involved shooting case. That's a case where APD doesn't have jurisdiction be cause the officer when assigned to a task force is operating under the task force's policies, and the discussion was at the Force Review Board that if you are going to have officers operating in these under these task forces, then your MOUs must be detailed, and you must have access to those jurisdiction's policies, which the feds and other jurisdictions would not give us access to their policies, so right now. that practice has been halted. No officers are doing those types of joint ventures any more," Harness said during the meeting.
The case involved the May 2016 fatal shooting of 31-year-old Mario Montoya, who was the subject of a task force search. Task force members found him at an apartment complex near Central and Western Skies. That's when things got violent.
Montoya allegedly opened fire on officers when they tried to arrest him. U.S. Marshals say that is when U.S. Marshals and the Albuquerque Police Department fired back.
After the arrest team was able to retreat to a safe location, a second team later entered the residence and found Montoya in a closet; he had been struck in the exchange of gunfire and was deceased.
POB board member Joanne Fine said the board could not make a decision on whether the APD officer who shot Montoya should be disciplined because it doesn't know what the Marshals Service's rules are, and thus there is no way to determine if the APD officer violated those rules.
"We could not measure this," Fine told ABQReport. "We need to compare their behavior to what those rules are, and so the Marshal Service did not allow us to take a look at those MOUs, so it made it impossible for us to asses the behavior."
A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Albuquerque did not immediately have a comment on the issue.

For their anniversary party, the Hellcats plan an 80s party to celebrate, complete with costumes and a musical number by Vanessa. Savannah decides she's ready to spend the night with Dan and plans a romantic evening for the two of them, but things don't exactly work out as she envisioned. Meanwhile, Alice usurps a PR story that was supposed to be on the Lancer football team and makes it about the Hellcats, much to Jake's dismay.

What food does potassium contain?
Along with sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) is one of the three nutrients that humans need in large quantities. The potassium content in the human body is 220-250 g. The bulk is in the cells, and only about 3 grams in extracellular fluids.
Potassium is the main mineral element of plant products.
The daily need for potassium is 3-5 g.
drugs (lead to increased loss of potassium).
Potassium together with chlorine (Cl) and sodium (Na) is involved in the regulation of water-salt metabolism, maintains a normal balance of tissue and extracellular fluids in humans and animals, a constant level of osmotic pressure, brings a significant alkalizing effect to acid-base balance along with sodium (Na), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg).
Glucose is not converted to energy if there is a significant deficiency of potassium, because of which the muscles are without a source of energy and can not contract, which can lead to partial or even complete paralysis.
Potassium is involved in the reduction of muscles, regulates blood pressure and heart rate, provides the passage of the impulse through the nervous system. Potassium contributes to the removal of fluid from the body, warns against some forms of depression, improves oxygen supply to the brain, helps to get rid of toxins and even prevents strokes (magnesium (Mg) plays an important role for heart health).
In most physiological processes, potassium acts as a sodium antagonist (Na), therefore, to maintain good health, it is necessary that the ratio of sodium to potassium in the diet is 1: 2. Excessive sodium in the body is harmful to health and can be neutralized by adding additional amounts of potassium.
Potassium is well absorbed from the intestines, and its excess is excreted in the urine. In general, potassium is excreted in the urine in almost the same amount consumed.
An increase in potassium concentration in the body leads to the excretion of sodium (Na). Magnesium deficiency (Mg) violates the absorption of potassium in the body.
Observations have shown that an insufficient amount of potassium in the diet of men increases the likelihood of death in stroke by 3 times.
violation of the sensitivity of the limbs.
When boiling and soaking products, potassium goes into water and, if the resulting broth is not used, then potassium is lost along with the broth.
Excess potassium in the body is possible with violations of the adrenal cortex, kidney disease. When taking drugs containing potassium, as well as, with excessive consumption of substitutes for table salt, which include potassium.
Why does potassium deficiency occur?
Eating foods that contain preservatives with sodium, as well as excessive amounts of salt, the main suppliers of sodium and insufficient consumption of fruits and vegetables, the main suppliers of potassium, is the main cause of the potassium deficiency in modern humans.
Although, with a varied dietary intake, the need for potassium can be fully satisfied, inadequate cooking leads to a lack of potassium in the body.
Prolonged use of diuretic drugs and herbs, as well as adrenal hormones, also leads to potassium deficiency.
Losses of potassium are observed with alcohol abuse.
Caffeine helps to increase the output of potassium from the body, the poet coffee lovers need to receive additional potassium.
The scourge of modern society – stress leads to increased sodium (Na) retention in the body, which can cause a health deficit of potassium.


Looking for a Civic or Corolla? Why not a Hyundai?
If you are looking for a midsize non-luxury non-hybrid car, then you really have to include the Hyundai Elantra. It matches or exceeds the Civic and Corolla in all of the major categories and in my opinion the 2007 model is just plain sexier than the Civic and Corolla. Hyundai redesigned the interior and exterior completely for the current models so if you didn't like the look of previous Elantras you should look again. I own a 2001 Elantra and while I am still happy with it the 2007 (which my wife drives) is beautiful and stylish (and affordable). It came standard with power (almost) everything while other midsize cars are a couple thousand more starting and don't have power windows. Basically whatever you want out of a midsize car you can get cheaper by buying a Hyundai Elantra.

Dalit girl, 15, raped inside furniture shop in Moradabad
TNN | May 28, 2021, 04.55 AM IST
Bareilly: A 15-year-old Dalit girl, a student of Class VIII, was allegedly raped by a youth in a village under the jurisdiction of Kundarki police station in Moradabad district on Thursday morning.
Police said the girl had gone out of her house early in the morning when the accused dragged her into his shop and raped her.
An FIR was registered under section 376 (rape) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and appropriate sections of the Scheduled Castes and Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act, said police, adding that the accused was absconding and multiple teams were deployed to nab him.
Police said the crime took on a communal turn as the accused belonged to another community, and thus, a police force was deployed in the village to ensure peace.
The girl was sent for a medical examination and police recorded her statement.
In his complaint, the girl's elder brother alleged that when the family found the girl missing from the house, they started searching for her and heard her screaming coming from a shop locked from inside. When they knocked at the door repeatedly, the accused fled the spot and they found the girl lying semiconscious inside the shop, alleged the brother, adding that his sister told the family that she was raped.
Circle officer Desh Deepak Singh, who is probing the case, told TOI, "The girl is a minor, who studies in a school, while the accused is around 25-year-old and runs a furniture shop. I have inspected the spot in the presence of the girl's family. We have gathered evidence from the village and multiple teams have been deployed to nab the accused."

Charges laid for Bangladesh factory fire
Police have charged 13 people, including owners, for a fire in a garment factory that killed 111 people last November.
22 Dec 2013 08:45 GMT
Most of the workers killed in the fire were women who made as little as $37 each month [AP]
Bangladesh police have charged at least 13 people for the country's worst garment factory fire that killed 111 workers.
Police charged Delwar Hossain and his wife, the owners of Tazreen Fashions, along with security guards and managers over the blaze last November that gutted the building, Mohsinuzzaman Khan, police investigator in the case, told AFP news agency on Sunday.
The investigation took 13 months, but Sunday's negligence charges set an important benchmark.
"This was possibly the first time a garment plant owner" has been charged over a fire at one of the nation's 4,500 factories, Khan said.
Deadly accidents are common in Bangladesh's factors due to poor safety standards.
Industry overhaul
This particular fire was trumped only months later by the collapse of the Rana Plaza garment factory complex in Dhaka that killed at least 1,135 people.
Victims of the factory fire were mostly women who received as little as $37 a month to stitch clothing for international brands including US giant Walmart, Dutch retailer C&A and ENYCE, a label owned by US rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs.
The fire highlighted the appalling safety conditions in the more than $20bn garment industry.
Workers jumped from upper storey windows as they could not use fire exits because they led to the ground floor where the fire broke out, firefighters told AFP.
Bangladesh pledged to clean up the industry after the Rana Plaza disaster in April and more than 100 top Western retailers have signed up to new safety agreements to allow greater scrutiny of their operations.

Pablo Arosemena Alba (Cidade do Panamá, República de Nova Granada, 24 de setembro de 1836 - 29 de agosto de 1920) foi um político panamenho, quinto presidente da República do Panamá. Tinha 74 anos quando iniciou sua presidência, era um homem de muitas leituras, que não hesitava em expressar o que pensava. Acomodado politicamente, era um bom orador de salão, mas não de massas. Como jornalista foi resoluto, considerava que a imprensa poderia exercer um controle contra a tirania.

Em 1879, Arosemena Alba foi Embaixador da Colômbia no Chile. Mesmo antes da proclamação da República, foi brevemente Governador do Estado do Panamá, pela primeira vez, de 1 a 12 de outubro 1875, e de 16 de fevereiro de 1885 a 26 de março de 1885.

Como presidente sucedeu Federico Boyd, governando de 5 de outubro de 1910 a 1 de outubro 1912, depois que tinha anteriormente sido eleito Vice-Presidente. Seu sucessor como presidente foi Belisario Porras Barahona.

Q: How spark read a large file (petabyte) when file can not be fit in spark's main memory What will happen for large files in these cases?
1) Spark gets a location from NameNode for data . Will Spark stop in this same time because data size is too long as per information from NameNode?
2) Spark do partition of data as per datanode block size but all data can not be stored into main memory. Here we are not using StorageLevel. So what will happen here?
3) Spark do partition the data, some data will store on main memory once this main memory store's data will process again spark will load other data from disc.

A: First of all, Spark only starts reading in the data when an action (like count, collect or write) is called. Once an action is called, Spark loads in data in partitions  - the number of concurrently loaded partitions depend on the number of cores you have available. So in Spark you can think of 1 partition = 1 core = 1 task. Note that all concurrently loaded partitions have to fit into memory, or you will get an OOM.
Assuming that you have several stages, Spark then runs the transformations from the first stage on the loaded partitions only. Once it has applied the transformations on the data in the loaded partitions, it stores the output as shuffle-data and then reads in more partitions. It then applies the transformations on these partitions, stores the output as shuffle-data, reads in more partitions and so forth until all data has been read.
If you apply no transformation but only do for instance a count, Spark will still read in the data in partitions, but it will not store any data in your cluster and if you do the count again it will read in all the data once again. To avoid reading in data several times, you might call cache or persist in which case Spark will try to store the data in you cluster. On cache (which is the same as persist(StorageLevel.MEMORY_ONLY) it will store all partitions in memory - if it doesn't fit in memory you will get an OOM. If you call persist(StorageLevel.MEMORY_AND_DISK) it will store as much as it can in memory and the rest will be put on disk. If data doesn't fit on disk either the OS will usually kill your workers.
Note that Spark has its own little memory management system. Some of the memory that you assign to your Spark job is used to hold the data being worked on and some of the memory is used for storage if you call cache or persist.
I hope this explanation helps :)

A: This is quoted directly from Apache Spark FAQ (FAQ | Apache Spark)

Does my data need to fit in memory to use Spark?
No. Spark's operators spill data to disk if it does not fit in memory,
  allowing it to run well on any sized data. Likewise, cached datasets
  that do not fit in memory are either spilled to disk or recomputed on
  the fly when needed, as determined by the RDD's storage level.

In Apache Spark if the data does not fits into the memory then Spark simply persists that data to disk.
The persist method in Apache Spark provides six persist storage level to persist the data.
MEMORY_ONLY, MEMORY_AND_DISK, MEMORY_ONLY_SER
(Java and Scala), MEMORY_AND_DISK_SER
(Java and Scala), DISK_ONLY, MEMORY_ONLY_2, MEMORY_AND_DISK_2, OFF_HEAP.

The OFF_HEAP storage is under experimentation.

Global Sleep Survey: How Do People Sleep Throughout the World
Cheri Cheng
Update Date: Sep 12, 2013 01:21 PM EDT
Even though sleep is a necessity for all people regardless of factors, people sleep differently throughout the world. In some cultures, napping is very important while in others, napping could be a sign of laziness. Since sleep is vital to health, understanding how people sleep throughout the world could shed insight on the health conditions experienced globally. In a new global sleep survey, researchers examined the many sleeping rituals that are practiced throughout the world.
In this report titled the "Bedroom Poll" that was conducted by the National Sleep Foundation, researchers looked at the sleeping behaviors in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan. The researchers discovered that sleeping rituals varied greatly throughout the world. In Britain, one third of the people preferred to sleep completely naked. In Germany, people reported that they have to air out their rooms every week or else they would not get a good night's sleep. In Japan and the U.S., at least half of the population reported to taking naps every two weeks.
Other statistics compared the amount of sleep that people got and needed throughout the world. For averaged time slept during working nights, people in Mexico got the most with seven hours and three minutes. Japanese people had the least sleep during work nights clocking in with six hours and 22 minutes. The average amount of sleep needed to function the best was highest in Mexico and lowest in Japan. When it came to getting good sleep every night, the highest rate, 56 percent, was in Japan and the lowest rate of 40 percent was in Germany.
The poll also looked into statistics of how clean the people's beds were throughout the world. When it came to making the bed almost everyday, 80 percent of Britons, 79 percent of Germans, 66 percent of Americans and Canadians, 44 percent of Japanese and 82 percent of Mexicans reported that they did so. When it came to changing bed sheets at least once a week, only 22 percent of Germans reported doing so while 81 percent of Mexicans did.
"Although we know that everyone sleeps, the rather remarkable cultural differences within this universal experience have no been adequately explored. It is NSF's hope that this initial poll will inspire more research on this critical yet understudied topic," commented Namni Goel from the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine reported by Daily Mail.
"It is important to look at cultural differences in sleep, and not always assume a U.S. focus," added German Professor, Jan Born from the University of Tübingen. "Sleep is deeply inter-connected with health and performance, but it is often overlooked by researchers. This poll shows intriguing cultural variations on how we tackle this nightly, biological ritual."
The data came from the answers of 1,500 people who were aged 25 to 55. More information about the poll can be found here.
