Whereas the Soviet Union was noted for being a state that sought to repress all forms of religious expression, the Russian Orthodox Church continued to exist in a weakened form throughout Russia's communist era. Following the collapse of the Soviet regime in 1991, Rusian Orthodoxy has re-emerged from its slumber to reassert itself in the nation's culture and institutional structure. How has it fared over the past two decades? Bradley Murg, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Washington, explores this question revealing much about the nature of religion in Russian society as well as a thing or two about its evolving political structure.

The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 heralded what many thought would be a new era of liberty in a region of the world that has known little freedom for most of its history. However, many of the new regimes that emerged from the Soviet rubble have slipped back into autocracy. We review these political developments and what this has meant for religious freedom in the region with Prof. Ani Sarkissian (Michigan State University). Interestingly, we observe a fairly wide variation in how governments react to religious organizations with some governments supressing all faiths whereas as others picking and choosing which religions to allow and which to repress. Albania, of all places, emerges as the most religiously free of the post-Soviet "competitive dictatorships." Find out why.

Zinedine Zidane has dispelled the idea of replacing Karim Benzema with another striker at the Santiago Bernabeu next season. The Real Madrid boss was speaking ahead of his side's trip to face Leganes on Monday night.
Isco is a possible replacement for Kroos in Zidane's midfield but the Spaniard's future at the Bernabeu has been a hot topic for months.

Clínica Episcopal Esperanza y Caridad (CEEyC) was founded by the Episcopal Diocese of the Dominican Republic in 1998 to serve the medical needs of the people of San Pedro de Macorís. Their mission is to show the love of God by offering quality services and programs oriented towards improving health, physically, mentally, and spiritually for their neighbors, families and community. This mission is accomplished through efforts to serve the poor, the needy and the destitute; giving services to people without discrimination of their social class, economic status, race, gender or religion; operating without profit; services include rehabilitation, curative medicine, preventive medicine, mental health and integrated care for people with HIV/AIDS.
The rehabilitation aspect of the clinic initially was part of the Asociación Dominicana de Rehabilitación (ADR), but after growing together for 13 years, the ADR decided they needed more space and moved to open their services in a separate location. Rather than immediately launch a PT clinic at the CEEyC in competition, we waited several years until the Fall of 2016. Currently the PT clinic at CEEyC is functioning well with Dominican staff members. Thanks to a grant from Trinity Wall Street, some significant remodeling is underway that will increase the PT gym space and improve access to the clinic. Additionally, hopes for funding through a Rotary International Grant, will see additional equipment filling the gym area to significantly improve the exercise component of therapy offered to the patients.


I bought a Streetmaster intake manifold for my 429. It has the rectangular exits going into the heads, and my heads are oval I believe , the same as a D2VE head. What gasket will I need to use.?
If your going for anything other than gas mileage, you may want to go a different route. Here is some info on that intake.
X2 you need to think about a performer or performer rpm.
If you want a low single plane, the Current Torker 2 is a decent piece too.
Not really looking for big hp, just a street cruiser.
Bigred69 wrote: Not really looking for big hp, just a street cruiser.
The factory intake is a better piece.
You guys think the stock dove-9425 will give me better performance? Can you explain? I'm new to this and just want to understand.
Yes, the factory intake will go down the track faster, like Blake was trying to explain to you before, the street masters are for mileage not performance. They are too small for a BBF.
Bigred69 wrote: You guys think the stock dove-9425 will give me better performance? Can you explain? I'm new to this and just want to understand.
Yes, the runners are very small on the street Master to speed the air up and help off idle response and low ent torque and fuel mileage. It will be down on power over a stock intake or performer.
I did notice from looking at the intake passages that they were kind of small compared to the stock intake. Well, that makes sense now. Thanks for clearing that up.
Lay a stock 302 gasket on it to compare.
Those manifolds I think came out after the 1973 opec. oil embaro in the mid to late 70's when people were scrambling, for anything to improve gas mileage. No reason to run a BBF now if gas mileage is a top concern. Back then we had to, or buy a small econo box, or go to a smallblock. I would sell it or trade it for a better intake, like mentioned the factory piece was better for performance. It would almost be a sin against humanity, to bolt it to CJ/SCJ heads if you have any, even if it would seal up.

deflect.....distract........never let a crisis go to waste.......sound familiar?
I'm not going to get into the gun control debate here.
But as DMH stated in this thread, "
dmh wrote: It is not the world of our childhood.
And that's the truth, once we come to terms with that, like every other aspect of society has (i.e. Banks, Jewelry Stores, Sporting events, the list goes on...) We'll get a better handle on how to protect our most valuable asset.
I'm guessing (and please correct me if I'm wrong) but the police officer in the high school (like HS's all over the country) is (mostly) used to protect the students and faculty from themselves not so much to offer a defensive/security point at entry as it would be if they were posted at a middle or even elementary school.
As a parent of kids in the middle school I have no problem with a (well trained) armed gourd at the front door of the school as well as a "buzz in" secure door boundary of some sort.
Unfortunately the Sandy Hook incident is part of a "one upping" by mentally unstable people and banning anything isn't going to stop the wannabe's currently looking to make history.
Washington (CNN) – One month after the deadly shootings at an elementary school in Connecticut, a new national poll indicates that a majority of Americans support a number of gun control proposals. But the survey points to wide partisan, gender, and educational divides over some proposals.
According to a Pew Research Center poll, 85% of the public backs making private gun sales and purchases at gun shows subject to background checks, with comparable support across party lines. And the poll indicates that 80% favor laws to prevent mentally ill people from purchasing guns, with broad support from Democrats, Republicans and independent voters.
The poll's Monday release comes one month after 27 people, including 20 children at Sandy Hook Elementary School, were killed in Newtown, Connecticut by a gunman, who then shot himself to death.
Two-thirds of people questioned in the survey say they support creating a federal database to track gun sales, but there's a partisan divide, with 84% of Democrats and only 49% of Republicans favoring the proposal.
Fifty-five percent favor a ban on assault style weapons, 54% back a ban on high capacity ammunition clips, and 53% support a ban on on-line ammunition sales, but again there's a wide partisan divide between Democrats and Republicans on these proposals.
According to the poll, nearly two-thirds support putting armed security guards or police in more schools, but only four in ten say arming more teachers and school officials with guns is a good idea.
By a 51%-45% margin, Americans say it's more important to control gun ownership than to protect gun rights. This is virtually unchanged from Pew poll that was conducted in the days following the Newtown, Connecticut shootings.
Men are divided on this question, while a solid majority of women say it's more important to control gun ownership. There's also a sizable gender gap over a ban on semi-automatic weapons, with two-thirds of women supporting such a move and men divided.
The survey also highlights an educational divide. Fewer than half of college graduates support a proposal to put armed guards or police in more schools, while three-quarters of those with no more than a high school education favor the idea.
The Pew Research Center poll was conducted January 9-13, with 1,502 adults nationwide questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.
The United States is a republic based on the Constitution, not a democracy. If something is unconstitutional it really doesn't matter what the majority of the people say they are for or against. If you want to remove gun amend the constitution (good luck) otherwise drop it. Rob, why don't you start a thread about gun control and post your BS statistics there? I started this thread about SCHOOL SECURITY. As a SB member all you have done is confirm my belief that the public school system is run by liberals who do not care about either the constitution or rational discussion.
87% of the people believe that 96% of statistics are made up.
SBinRockrimmon wrote: As a SB member all you have done is confirm my belief that the public school system is run by liberals who do not care about either the constitution or rational discussion.
This statement couldn't be further from the truth in many ways.
I'm one of nine folks on the Board and I'm not posting here as a representative of the Board but simply as a parent and resident of Danville.
I believe a rational discussion has been happening here and I don't believe anyone is challenging the 2nd amendment or presenting anything that would be considered unconstitutional.
You did post originally about school security. This was following the CT tragedy. I can guarantee you there wouldn't be 28 dead if the gunman in this case had a knife, or hammer, or car, or anything else! The fact that 28 people died because he had a gun is absolutely germane to this discussion as is trying to keep guns out of the hands of people who may do something like this again. Believing otherwise is irrational.
If you think background checks are something that only some need to do, allowing criminals to buy guns freely, or if you think its OK for those who are mentally ill to have full access to guns and ammunition then you're a small minority and that was really the point of the poll. These are problems we can deal with swiftly that are constitutional and almost all Americans believe to be a good thing, a necessary thing. This is common ground and legislation should fly through Congress for the President to sign.
These are things we can do right now that can seriously impact school security in a positive way!
I don't know anyone who thinks this would be a bad idea AND presents cogent arguments to support their position.


any one know if the p220 sunrise powerchair has any major faults, as i have been offered one until my quickie groove is repaired. but i dont want it if their are always problems. any one had one.
I've had a few people mention to me that they have them, but no negative comments heard so far. We've not worked on one.
The P220 is a lower cost, lower powered version of the P222se. It has an integrated controller (all of the power electronics are in the joystick pod). It has no suspension to speak of, but it does have some basic adjustments available for the seat position and angle. I do know a number of people who use this chair for competitive power wheelchair soccer, and it's at least good enough for smaller individuals to play at a fairly high level.
It has a battery box that hangs off the back and some flimsy anti-tip wheels, so it's not great for off-road or more challenging terrain. This chair does have the advantage of being able to break apart into pieces without tools, allowing a typical able bodied individual to fit the chair into a non-ramped vehicle (even a four-door sedan or hatchback instead of a van or truck). It's not convenient, but it's doable.

McDonald's sales tumbled 30% last quarter, but it's optimistic about a turnaround

McDonald's is having a rough year, as shown in another dismal quarterly earnings report – but there are signs of recent improvement.
Total sales sank 30% in the second quarter compared to a year ago, McDonald's announced Tuesday, falling to $3.77 billion. Net income plummeted 68% to $483.8 million. The figures reflect the April to June period, the first full quarter of coronavirus effects in the United States.
"In many markets around the world, most of notably in the US, the public health situation appears to be worsening," McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski said in its earnings call. "Nonetheless, I believe that Q2 represents the trough in our performance as McDonald's has learned to adjust our operations to this new environment."
Beneath the dismal numbers, some numbers indicated improvement as the quarter went on.
For example, US same-store sales were down 19.2% in April compared to last year. But that loss narrowed rapidly, to down 5.1% in May and just a 2.3% decrease in June. Sales in July "trended up", according to Chief Financial Officer Kevin Ozan, and he expects it them to be "slightly positive" for the month.
But same-store sales outside the US fell even more and their recovery has been slower, dragging down total global same-store sales. That global figure was down 39% in April compared to last year, almost 21% in May and more than 12% in June.
Breakfast, which was previously a troublesome part of the day for McDonald's prior to Covid-19, continues to be a drag on its sales. In addition to rising competition, such as from Wendy's, the meal also "continues to be disproportionately impacted by disruptions to commuting routines," Kempczinski said. A marketing push for breakfast will roll out later this year.
How McDonald's plans to enforce its new mask policy
McDonald's (MCD) said its drive-thru, delivery and digital options are helping to bolster its business. Kempczinski said the company has seen "significant increases" in drive-thru sales across its restaurants as many locations were forced to shutter their dining rooms. That said, the company has slowed the reopening of dining rooms in states where the number of virus cases are still rising.
The virus, however, has prompted McDonald's to accelerate the closures of restaurants originally planned to shut down in years anead. The company will close 200 locations this year, with more than half of them being in "low-volume" Walmart locations.
The company also announced plans to divest part of its stake in its Japan business, and will reduce its ownership there from about 49% to at least 35%.
The move is intended to help give the company more "financial flexibility" as it looks to save cash and preserve its liquidity throughout the pandemic, according to Ozan.
Japan has been a bright spot for McDonald's in recent years. Same-store sales there grew last quarter, "partly thanks to our brand's reputation for cleanliness and convenience with Japanese customers," Kempczinski said.

McDonald's exec: The Covid-19 meat shortages taught us all an important lesson
The decision to dial back in the market signals "our confidence in the local management team," Ozan added.
Kempczinski also said that internal surveys of McDonald's customers about the year ahead are gloomy.
"I'm certainly not qualified to make any predictions around whether we're going to be in recession or not, but I'd certainly say there's a lot of warning signs out there that would suggest that the consumer sentiment and consumer concerns about the economy is negative and going in the wrong direction," he said.
Shares closed down 2.5% on Tuesday.

Plant-based foods are experiencing a renaissance of sorts these days. Whether it's through vegetarians looking to add more protein, flexitarians looking for heart-healthy options, or simply adventurous eaters looking for palate-expanding options, meat alternatives are making headlines for their growing popularity and increasingly mass appeal.
I sat down with Michael Lenahan, Vice President of Marketing for Field Roast Grain Meat Co., a pioneering plant-based meat alternative company, to learn more about the origins of the company, about its ever-expanding line—including on-trend grab-and-go Deli Slices and plant-based cheeses, and the ways in which Field Roast is making the most of a market that is finally catching up to the forward-thinking company.
Robert Schaulis: Tell me a little about the history of Field Roast: When was the company founded and by whom?
Michael Lenahan: Field Roast, the original maker of grain meats, was founded in 1997 in Seattle, Washington by Chef David Lee and his brother, Richard Lee. The company started with our original loaves in three classic flavors: Smoked Tomato, Lentil Sage, and Wild Mushroom. Since the brand's launch in 1997, we have been a pioneer in the plant-based category by creating flavorful products that satisfy without mimicking the taste of traditional meat and dairy products. Our ever-expanding array of products includes roasts, sausages, deli slices, loaves, a frankfurter, a burger, plant-based cheese slices, and we've recently extended into the frozen aisle with plant-based frozen snacks and entrees.
RS: What would you say is the ethos behind Field Roast? What sets the company apart from others in the plant-based food field?
ML: At Field Roast, we believe real food is better than fake food, which is why our artisanal products begin with familiar, whole food ingredients. We use grains, fresh vegetables and bold spices to create flavors that stand on their own.
We also celebrate food-making traditions to create something special. Our products are made in small batches, and we use the simple culinary tenets of traditional meat- and cheese-making practices. Our artisanal plant-based meats are high in protein, cholesterol-free, and non-GMO.
RS: When did the company release its line of Deli Slices? Who is the target consumer for Field Roast's Deli Slices, and how does the line appeal to them?
ML: Field Roast Deli Slices are charcuterie-style gourmet deli meats that launched in 2002. In flavors like Smoked Tomato, Lentil Sage, and Wild Mushroom, our Deli Slices add a tasty bite to cold-cut or melt-style hot sandwiches (especially layered with our Chao Slices). We were inspired to provide plant-based meat options for all types of meals and brought our consumers lunch-friendly options for sandwiches, paninis, salads and more.
RS: Can you tell me a little bit about the inception of Chao Creamery? How did the product line develop, and what makes the Chao Slices unique?
ML: Chao Creamery began 15 years ago when we created our first hand-formed Herbed Chao Ball, a simple soft plant-based cheese made from fermented tofu, fresh tofu, shiro miso paste, fresh garlic, and seasonings, all rolled in a balanced blend of green herbs. Fermented tofu adds a buttery texture and cheesy bite to all of our Chao Creamery products.
Today, our ever-expanding line of Chao Creamery products honors our commitment to crafting products that are modern yet familiar. Our trio of creamy, dairy-free Chao Slices, available in Creamy Original, Tomato Cayenne and Garden Herb, peel easily, shred well, and melt like a dream. Being the perfect pair to many of our grain meats, these slices have a distinct umami flavor thanks to the fermented tofu. We expanded the Chao Creamery portfolio last year with the launch of our delicious line of Mac 'n Chao. With cheesy sauces made using our Chao Slices, these two homestyle classics are perfectly creamy in texture and umami—with no dairy.
RS: I understand Field Roast has some other new items in stores recently?
ML: We're especially excited about our recently launched plant-based Frozen Snacks—Miniature Corn Dogs, FRuffalo Wings, and Sunflower Country-Style Katsu Cutlet. These delicious small bites are what we make in our own kitchens using Field Roast products; each one born from the inspiration of a fun way to cut, dip or slather with sauce. You can find them in the frozen aisle nationwide .
Field Roast is available at a variety of retailers nationwide, including Target, Walmart, Whole Foods, Kroger and many more. To find a retailer near you, check our store locater, here.

Does anyone know of any references (Sutta, commentarial, or modern) to labyrinths or mazes within Buddhism?
There are of course mandalas and other images, but I am specifically interested in the idea of a path to be travelled which is convoluted or recursive in some way.
I can't recall seeing anything in the suttas, and it's possible that there was no such concept or structure in India at the time of the Buddha, although they feature, of course, in Greek mythology around the same time.
But one to think about, all the same. Thanks, Chownah!
Well, any path, really, whether approved of or disapproved of.
Thanks for the Tissa Sutta. I'd completely forgotten that one.
The Abbhantara Jātaka comes to mind.
Next day, the queen lay down, as though ill, giving instructions to her maidens. The king sat upon his throne, under the white umbrella, and looked on at the dancing. Not seeing his queen, he asked a handmaid where she was.
"The queen is sick," replied the girl.
So the king went to see her; and sitting by her side, stroked her back, and asked, "What is the matter, lady?"
"Nothing," said she, "but that I have a craving for something."
"What is it you want, lady?" he asked again.
"A middle mango, my lord."
"Where is there such a thing as a middle mango?"
"I don't know what a middle mango is; but I know that I shall die if I don't get one."
"All right, we will get you one; don't trouble about it."
So the king consoled her, and went away. He took his seat upon the royal divan, and sent for his courtiers. "My queen has a great craving for a middle mango. What is to be done?" said he.
Some one told him, "A middle mango is one which grows between two others. Send to your park, and find a mango growing between two others; pluck its fruit and let us give it to the queen." So the king sent men to do after this manner.
But Sakka by his power made all the fruit disappear, as though it had been eaten. The men who came for the mangoes searched the whole park through, and not a mango could they find; so back they went to the king, and told him that mangoes there were none.
"Who is it eats the mangoes?" asked the king.
"Give the ascetics a drubbing, and bundle them out of the park!" he commanded. The people heard and obeyed: Sakka's wish was fulfilled. The queen lay on and on, longing for the mango.
The king could not think what to do. He gathered his courtiers and his brahmins, and asked them, "Do you know what a middle mango is?"
Said the brahmins: "My lord, a middle mango is the portion of the gods. It grows in Himalaya, in the Golden Cave. So we have heard by immemorial tradition."
"Well, who can go and get it?"
"A human being cannot go; we must send a young parrot."
It's not exactly a maze, but certainly a very tortuous route that the parrot has to take to find the "middle mango".
And it's certainly a very fine story! Who knew that the proper way to honour a parrot is to anoint him beneath the wings with oil?!
I'm sorry, I can't remember the exact Dhamma talks where he mentions it, but Thanissaro Bhikkhu once mentions something to the effect that when one walks the path, it sometimes seems to be all over the place, with no clear goal, but that later on, when one looks back, it all makes sense.
This view is based on a very simplistic understanding of fabricated reality, seeing causality as linear and totally predictable: X causes Y which causes Z and so on, with no effects turning around to condition their causes, and no possible way of using causality to escape from the causal network. However, one of the many things the Buddha discovered in the course of his awakening was that causality is not linear. The experience of the present is shaped both by actions in the present and by actions in the past. Actions in the present shape both the present and the future. The results of past and present actions continually interact. Thus there is always room for new input into the system, which gives scope for free will. There is also room for the many feedback loops that make experience so thoroughly complex, and that are so intriguingly described in chaos theory. Reality doesn't resemble a simple line or circle. It's more like the bizarre trajectories of a strange attractor or a Mandelbrot set.
And if you search ATI for "labyrinth" and "maze", there are some hits in the essays and descriptions of suttas.
Also, searching Dhammatalks.org for "trajectory" gives some interesting results.
And one more by Ven. Thanissaro: A thread out of the maze, from June 2006.

Many thanks binocular. Thanissaro's famous "feedback loops"!
I'll also have a look at ATI.
Kamma is recursive, seems it could fit your bill, at least metaphorically.
Thanissaro has written a book on it: The Shape of Suffering.


Paul Ableman - Writer: Adapted 'Porridge' into three books as well as a noveliization of the movie and also wrote scripts for 'Dixon of Dock Green', 'The Wednesday Play', 'Z Cars' and Tales of the Unexpected' Paul was born on 13th June 1927 and passed away on 25th October 2006.
Diana Coupland - Actress: Best known to television viewers as Jean Abbott-the long suffering wife of Sid in 'Bless This House'. Her co-star, Sid James, was already a household name when this series hit our screens in 1971 and it wasn't long before everyone knew Diana, as well. She had already appeared in a wide range of TV roles including 'Maigret', 'Dixon of Dock Green', and 'Z Cars' (7 times between 1962 and 1971) and it emerged years later that hers was the voice used to overdub actress Ursula Andres as she emerged from the sea singing 'Underneath the Mambo Tree' in the first James Bond film 'Dr. No'. More recent parts for Diana came in 'Casualty', 'Rose and Maloney' and 'One Foot In The Grave'. Diana Coupland was born on 5th March 1932 and passed away on 10th November 2006 aged 74.
William Franklin - Actor: The silky voiced actor fronted one of the most successful TV advertising campaigns of the 1960s for the drinks company Schweppes. His 'Shhhhh...you know who' tagline was known to millions. William Leo Franklin was born on 22nd September 1925 and made his television debut in 1956 on 'The Scarlet Pimpernel' before making his movie debut two years later in 'Quatermass 2'. After guest appearances on 'Sir Lancelot', 'Interpol Calling' and 'No Hiding Place' he established an image as a suave spy by playing the role of Peter Dallas in 'Top Secret' -a role he parodied himself a few years later in both the Schweppes advert and the Morecambe and Wise film 'The Intelligence Men'. Guest appearances continued in some of the UK's best remembered action/adventure series of the 1960s such as 'The Avengers', 'The Baron' and 'The Champions' and he was also the voice of 'Dangermouse' in the pilot episode before David Jason took over for the series. Bill passed away on 31st October 2006.
Jack Palance - Actor: One of the most memorable movie villians of the last few decades Jack Palance ironically won his only Oscar for his comic co-starring appearance in the movie 'City Slickers'. Palance made a number of TV appearances including the role of Lt Alex Bronkov a cop of Ukrainian ancestry (as indeeed Palance was in real life) in the 1975 cop series 'Bronk'. He also played the lead in 'Dracula' in a 1973 TV movie and appeared as a Mafia boss in 'The Man from U.N.C.L.E.' He also played the lead role in the original 'Playhouse 90' production of Rod Serlings 'Requiem for a Heavyweight' and covered Serling's work again, some 40 years later, when two unused 'Twilight Zone' scripts were produced as 'Rod Serlings Lost Classics'. Palance would have appeared as General Chang the Klingon leader in the movie 'Star Trek Vl: The Undiscovered Country' but filming clashed with the sequel to 'City Slickers'. Walter Jack Palance passed away on 10th November 2006.
Start each day as if on purpose.
All will be sadly missed...... Loved Diana and played along side Sid so well, one of my favorites.

KCA DEUTAG wins flagship six-rig contract in Caspian region for BP
» KCA DEUTAG wins flagship six-rig contract in Caspian region for BP
abarrelfull wrote on 10 Jan 2011 14:01
Tags: azerbaijan bp caspian kca-deutag services
KCA DEUTAG, the leading international drilling and engineering contractor, has been awarded a flagship six-rig contract by BP as operator of the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli and Shah Deniz fields in the Azerbaijan sector of the Caspian Sea, to manage all of BP-operated platform drilling assets in the Caspian region.
The contract, which is for a primary period of five years with the option to extend by up to a further five years, is believed to be the world's largest single platform drilling contract. The new contract will commence in December 2010.
Holger Temmen, KCA DEUTAG's Chief Executive, commented: "We are very pleased to have won this long term contract award for all of BP-operated platforms in such a key strategic market. We have a valued relationship with BP in the Caspian region, developed over more than a decade, and focused on continuous improvement at all levels. KCA DEUTAG is now one of the largest employers in Azerbaijan, and this award is very much a reflection of the quality of our Azerbaijani workforce and their hard work and dedication. This major contract win proves the strength of KCA DEUTAG and its ability to generate recurring revenue."
Rune Lorentzen, KCA DEUTAG's General Manager – Northern Platforms, said: "This award reinforces the importance of our focus on consistently high HSE and operational performance. Drilling facilities design and platform drilling operations remain absolutely core to KCA DEUTAG's strategy and the BP Caspian involvement is perhaps the best example of our preferred contracting model – being involved from the early conceptual engineering stages, through front end and detailed engineering, construction and subsequent long term operation of the rigs. It has been a very successful period for our platform business and reflects our ongoing commitment to improving performance and in delivering safe, effective, trouble-free operations."
The contract covers platform drilling operations and maintenance services on the Central, East and West Azeri, Chirag, Deepwater Gunashli and Shah Deniz platforms, and employs some 700 KCA DEUTAG staff both on and offshore, of which over 500 are Azerbaijani citizens. On the Chirag platform the rig is owned by KCA DEUTAG and leased to BP.
KCA DEUTAG's involvement in Azerbaijan commenced in 1997 with the conversion and mobilisation of their landrig T-105 for the Chirag platform. This was followed in November 1997 with the award, initially, of conceptual study work on Central Azeri leading to the front end and detail design and subsequently the operations and maintenance contracts on the platform. In fact KCA DEUTAG, via its engineering division RDS, has been involved in the design of all subsequent platform rigs for BP in the Caspian region and is presently engaged in the detail design of the next platform rig for the Chirag Oil Project. This next platform is due to be installed in 2013 and the operation of the rig will automatically fall under this new contract with KCA DEUTAG.
KCA DEUTAG's Northern Platforms division comprises operations on 32 platforms in the UK, Norway, Caspian, and Sakhalin Island. In addition KCA DEUTAG operates the platform rig on CABGOC's Benguela Belize Platform in Angola.

Fugitive Slave Acts
Most American communities where slavery was widespread have done very little to acknowledge or recognize this history, while erecting hundreds of monuments and markers to honor the Confederacy. EJI erected several markers about slavery in Montgomery, Alabama, in December 2013.
The U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1788, included the Fugitive Slave Clause, which declared that enslaved people who fled to states where slavery was illegal would be returned to their owners.
The Fugitive Slave Act of 1793 empowered slaveowners to seize runaway slaves, ordered state and federal authorities to help capture and return runaway slaves, and fined those who assisted runaway slaves. As political conflict between abolitionists in the North and slaveowners in the South moved the country toward civil war, Congress passed the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, which imposed harsher punishments for interfering with slaveowners' recapture of runaway slaves.
President and slaveowner George Washington was among the first to employ these laws. When Oney Judge, a slave belonging to his wife Martha, escaped to New Hampshire in 1796, Washington placed ads, hired headhunters, and even sought help from federal officials, but never recaptured Ms. Judge. In 1842, Alabama's Wetumpka State Penitentiary received its first prisoner: a white man sentenced to 20 years for harboring a runaway slave. And in 1851, Thomas Sims, a black man who had fled slavery in Georgia, was captured by Boston police and ordered returned to his owner.
For more than 70 years, these federal laws rendered all black people in America "slaves until proven free" and facilitated the kidnapping and enslavement of thousands.

R-E-L-A-X. Rodgers Not Going Anywhere
By Aaliyan Mohammed January 27, 2021 Updated: January 27, 2021 No Comments4 Mins Read
Now that it's been a few days, and the media has had its way with Aaron Rodgers, it's time to actually break down the situation, or lack thereof. The big issue came when right after the loss when he stated his future was "uncertain" just like other players on the team. However, this is nothing new, Rodgers has been saying this all year. Nonetheless, all talk has ceased after Rodgers followed up on "The Pat McAfee Show" and other sources voiced their thoughts. Aaron Rodgers will be here in 2021, and possibly much longer.
Aaron Rodgers's Comments
What better source than the man himself. Tuesday after the loss, Aaron Rodgers did what he always does. He joined "The Pat McAfee Show" and cleared the air. He simply expanded on what he meant when he said his future is "uncertain." He was simply stating that he understands that his only leverage is his play and he "doesn't think there's any reason [he] wouldn't be back."
"I don't feel like I said anything that I hadn't said before.. It was just more of a realization I think that ultimately my future is not necessarily in my control…
I don't think there's any reason I wouldn't be back"@AaronRodgers12 #PatMcAfeeShowLIVE pic.twitter.com/u1Qnjiugv6
— Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) January 26, 2021
Rodgers also shut down comments about him wanting an extension from Green Bay among other things. He wants to be a Packers but knows that his play is the only way he can assure the organization wants the same. Judging from 2020 there isn't an organization in the NFL that would move on from Rodgers for a young quarterback if he's playing the way he is.
"We're not idiots. aaron rodgers will be back."
Let's be honest most of the doubt of his future comes from a certain draft pick made in 2020. However, it's starting to look more and more like a leverage move by the Packers. It's been reported that Love is far from ready and the pick may have been the Packers' way of trying to have some leverage with Aaron's future. Since then Aaron Rodgers is the presumptive MVP and may have regained some of that leverage. Green Bay will not move on from Rodgers if he continues to play at an MVP level next year as well. It's actually more likely that Rodgers earns an extension and Love is traded just as the Patriots did with Jimmy Garappolo.
"Hell yeah, he better be back. He's our leader."
There's no reason that any rumors should have even started considering the head coach himself shut it down the day of the game. He clearly expressed how he felt about Aaron Rodgers on the Packers. Matt LaFleur as a head coach knows more than anyone when it comes to whether Jordan Love is ready to play or not. The organization on every level knows Rodgers will be back next year. After the strides they made in year two, it's hard to imagine this team moving on from Rodgers for Tim Boyle or Jordan Love.
The team has made it clear how it feels about Rodgers and it's beginning to look like Jordan Love was an insurance policy in case Rodgers retired or was injured. The Pick gave the Packers some leverage but Rodgers is taking it back with his MVP season. The Packers organization will never move on from Rodgers so long as he's playing in a fashion where he gives them the best chance to win. It's very likely if Rodgers plays like this again next year he will come to an agreement on an extension. He has expressed his desire to be a Packer for life and only he can make that happen with his performance. All in all, one thing is certain, Aaron Rodgers will be a Packer in 2021.

NASA Names New Chief Astronaut
By Robert Z. Pearlman 2012-08-13T19:29:43Z
Office, are seen together on board the International Space Station assisting STS-123 mission specialist Rick Linnehan after a spacewalk in March 2008.

HOUSTON — NASA's astronauts have a new chief.
Peggy Whitson, who three years ago was named the 13th Chief of the Astronaut Office, making her the first woman to lead the U.S. Astronaut Corps, stepped down in July, a spokesman at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston confirmed to collectSPACE.com.
Space shuttle veteran Robert Behnken, who most recently served as one of Whitson's deputies, has been named the new Chief Astronaut.
The position, which was first created and held by Mercury astronaut Deke Slayton in 1962, oversees the activities of the astronaut corps including managing training programs, appointing technical assignments and choosing the crews for upcoming space missions.
"The Chief of the Astronaut Office has an unenviable job — she or he has the power to make flight assignments as well as important career appointments, but each decision is guaranteed to make one or more astronauts unhappy," Michael Cassutt, co-author of Slayton's autobiography and a member of a 2011 National Academy of Sciences panel that reviewed the future direction of the Astronaut Office, said in an interview with collectSPACE.com. "Astronauts are intelligent, highly-skilled and motivated ... who wants them to be grumpy?" [7 Notable Space Shuttle Astronauts]
Behnken has inherited the position at a time of transition for the astronaut corps, as NASA looks beyond its retired space shuttle program toward hiring U.S. companies to fly its crews on private spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS). At the same time, the agency is working with its industry contractors to develop a heavy-lift rocket and space capsule to take Americans beyond Earth orbit to an asteroid and ultimately Mars.
The Astronaut Office has 52 members at current who are either eligible for, already in training, or taking part in flight assignments. That count includes Whitson, who has now rejoined the ranks who are qualified to serve on board the space station.
NASA is also in the process of reviewing applicants for a new group of between nine and 15 astronaut candidates, or "ascans," to form its 21st class of trainees since 1959. Behnken will now head that selection, which began under Whitson's lead last November and is scheduled conclude with the announcement of the new class members in May 2013.

Record-setting Chief Astronaut
Whitson was announced as Chief Astronaut in September 2009 and took over responsibility from the out-going chief Steven Lindsey on Oct. 19 of that year.
Lindsey, who had been head of the Astronaut Office since September 2006, then went on to command the final flight of space shuttle Discovery before retiring from NASA in July 2011. His departure was one of many as the 30-year shuttle program came to its end.
"As chief astronaut, Whitson presided over a drastic downsizing of the astronaut office to reflect the shift from ISS and shuttle to ISS only," Cassutt said. "She did it quickly, she did it thoroughly, and she did it with a great deal of thought and planning."
"She also made a convincing case for the selection of two new classes of astronaut candidates ... all while her station crew members continued to perform spectacularly," Cassutt said. "I can't imagine anyone else doing that job that well at this particular time."
Whitson wasn't just the first woman to be appointed chief, but also the first mission specialist to be chosen for the role. All of NASA's prior chief astronauts had been pilots, including first American in space Alan Shepard and Apollo moonwalker John Young, who held the title the longest.
Before becoming the chief, Whitson flew two long-duration expeditions on board the space station. Logging more than a year in orbit over the course of the two flights, she holds the world record for the most time in space by a woman.
Whitson's 376 days, 17 hours and 22 minutes in space (to date) rank her 20th on the list of worldwide space travelers for time spent off the Earth.
On her second stay aboard the orbiting laboratory in 2007, Whitson also became the first female commander of the International Space Station. Whitson also set the records for the most spacewalks and most time spacewalking by a woman. She joined NASA's astronaut corps in 1996.
If Behnken assigns Whitson to another station expedition crew, she will become the first NASA astronaut to serve three times on board the orbiting complex. Only Russian cosmonauts have matched that feat, including Gennady Padalka and Yuri Malenchenko who are flying their third expedition in space now. Padalka currently commands the station's Expedition 32 crew. [Space Station's Expedition 32 Crew Photos]
Next in line
Like Whitson, Behnken flew as a mission specialist and a spacewalker, launching on board space shuttle Endeavour on two assembly flights to the International Space Station.
During his first mission to the orbiting laboratory, Benhken had the chance to work with Whitson in space during her second expedition stay aboard the station.

Behnken is the first Chief of the Astronaut Office who will have the potential to assign a family member to a mission crew. He is married to fellow astronaut Megan McArthur, who is still active in the corps. Behnken became a NASA astronaut in 2000.
In addition to selecting crews, Behnken will be responsible for the mission preparation activities and on-orbit support of all International Space Station crews and their support personnel. He'll also continue the work begun by Whitson by organizing the crew interface support for future heavy launch and commercially-provided transport vehicles.
Behnken is the 14th chief astronaut, preceded by:
1. Deke Slayton (1962-1963);
2. Alan Shepard (1963-1969);
3. Thomas Stafford (1969-1971);
5. John Young (1974-1987);
6. Daniel Brandenstein (1987-1992);
7. Robert "Hoot" Gibson (1992-94);
8. Robert Cabana (1994-1997);
9. Kenneth Cockrell (1997-1998);
10. Charles Precourt (1998-2002);
11. Kent Rominger (2002-2006);

Software Testing is a process of verifying and validating an application against the specified requirements, mostly functional requirements. The non-functional aspects of an application such as performance are considered only after functional. Testing a software for both functionality and performance becomes a value addition to its quality before its launch into the market.
There is no such statement as 'I am now prepared for the interview'. When facing a Testing interview no matter how many interview questions and answers you have gone through – there is always more to read Continuing on our Interview questions series, let's see some more interesting FAQs related to Domain, Software requirements, Agile Kanban, Career in Testing, SMAC Testing, Automation and Selenium Webdriver.
No Test Automation experience | Will industry accept me?
I have a strong functional test experience but no automation. I 'know' automation testing but don't have the project experience. I am a Test lead but didn't write any automation scripts. Analytical & logical but never did project coding. Found in-numerous bugs but didn't prepare automation reports. Managed a big team but didn't learn performance testing. Documented every report but didn't produce framework guides. Enjoyed exploratory tests but didn't script pre-defined test cases. Helped BAs and even developers (in debugging) but never developed automation framework. Understood domain & application flows but didn't write code. Open to learning but no opportunity. Self-learned programming & tools, but didn't get practical project experience. Passionate about Software testing but now it's Software Developer in Test.
I first heard the term 'Monkey Testing' from a developer when I was 1 year old in IT industry. The developer was quite friendly & wasn't confident enough about his code – "Hey, let's do some Monkey Testing" he said. He sat with me and that was my first experience with practical Monkey Testing. Yeah! The name sounds funny, but this technique surely works (if you know the impacted areas). In this article let's explore 'Monkey Testing' in detail.
Every automation tool just provides a way to navigate >> identify >> perform >> repeat. So before moving further on our Selenium series, let's look at the most common Page elements & User actions to automate.

Mayatskoye, also known as Mayatskoe or Mayaki, is a gorodishche (hill fort) and historical settlement located in the Divnogorye museum-reserve area of Liskinsky District in Voronezh Oblast, Russia. Along with Verkhnii Saltov, it gives its name to the Saltovo-Mayaki culture, which is the main archaeological culture of the Khazars. Mayatskoye is the northernmost site associated with the Khazars, and was probably near the frontier with Slavic tribes. It is also one of the best-preserved and best-studied Khazar sites.

The Mayatskoye site consists of a hill fort surrounded by a settlement with an adjacent burial ground. The overall settlement area is 30 hectares, of which 6,000 square meters have been excavated. Remains of pottery workshops have been identified in this area. The fortress itself covers 1.1 hectare, and about 30% of the area enclosed by its walls has been excavated. The walls themselves have been only been excavated in small portions; most of their circuit remains buried under earthen ramparts. The walls were made of chalk blocks, some of which contain runic inscriptions, and reached about 1.5 to 2 meters in height. As for the cemetery area, it covers 3 hectares, of which 2874 square meters (about 10%) have been excavated. At least 150 individual burial sites have been identified.

The settlement existed from the late 8th century onward; its citadel was built in the 9th century. The settlement was especially important during the second half of the 9th century and the early 10th century. Among its inhabitants were Alans. A Common Turkic inscription found at the site refers to the "As country" and "our land of the Six-Savirs", which Gábor Hosszú interprets as a reference to the Khazars ruling over the area between the Don and Dnieper rivers. The inscription identifies the building as "the mansion of Onagh Tegin", its builder as Ud Didü On, and the author of the inscription as Ineg.

History of study
The first archaeological findings at Mayatskoye were in 1890. The first comprehensive archaeological excavations were undertaken by A. Milyutin in 1906 and then N. Makarenko in 1908-09. Plowing in the 1960s disturbed part of the site's eastern part but does not appear to have damaged the pits marking the site of old buildings. Further excavations were undertaken by a joint Soviet, Bulgarian, and Hungarian project in 1975 and then 1977-82. The burial ground was discovered in 1975.

There are many forgotten hairstylists of the past that were pioneers in the beauty business. Their work has been the foundation of many ideas and innovations of future hairstyles to come. One of these pioneers was Leonard Autie, responsible for Marie Antoinette's famous sky high hairdo's.
His most important client, Marie Antoinette, the Queen of France in the late 1700's, wore Leonard's creations sometimes up to three-feet-high.
His hairdo's were often accessorized with objects and decorations depicting current events. He took product usage to an extreme, using wire forms, wool, pomade and powder to create the gravity-defying, impractical designs.
His 'pouf' invention inspired an entire generation of looks throughout Europe and actually became one of the reasons his controversial client became infamous for her extravagance.
Autié's success allowed him to establish a hair-dressing school and studio, the Académie de coiffeur ("a virtual House of Léonard"), which was in Paris. He was joined in this enterprise by his two brothers, Pierre and Jean-François.
Stylists today are still influenced by his impressive designs. It's difficult to find any hairdresser mentioned in history books before Leonard.

Q: What do you believe to be the best CSS Grid system and why? I've been using Nicole Sullivan's "Object Oriented" CSS grid for a while now (hate the term, though) and have found it to be quite good.  However, as I get more experience with grids, I'm noticing a lot of other frameworks out there; in particular the 960 Grid System and the Yahoo! UI Library.
I'm looking for other peoples' experiences with these alternatives (or others) so I can make a more well-founded decision on whether to change or not.

A: I think Blueprint is the best.
Also review comments posted at: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/589184/help-me-choose-a-css-framework-960-vs-blueprint-vs
I found the noupe site has great comparisons for CSS frameworks and helped me choose: http://www.noupe.com/css/5-popular-css-frameworks-tutorials-tools-for-getting-started.html
If you are using rails framework, you should consider using compass which is layer over these frameworks (As suggested by Alan below).

A: I would recommend Blueprint used from within Compass. Compass reduces redundant CSS styles and has variables and classes. Apart from that, I have found Blueprint to be easy to use.

A: What about the twitter bootstrap framework. It good for me


In the garden is a mixed media assemblage. This small altered tin features fabric, lace, paper, paint, buttons and embroidery floss all surrounding a sweet black bird.
To create this piece, the tin was aged and painted and a nice green patina was added. A book page serves as a background for the lace, floss and button embellishments. The central image of the blackbird sits above a tiny teal nest with a pearl bead egg and the phrase, in the garden.
Altered tins make beautiful tiny treasures: providing inspiration, encouragement, and expressions of gratitude.


Double Heavyweight vinyl reissue of Portishead's studio album Third from 2008, their first following the group's hiatus. Heavily influenced by the Silver Apples, out rock and even industrial and krautrock, they constructed an album that is stark, uncompromising and yet strangely beautiful. It features an update of their trademark sound as well as some dazzling departures such as the industrial clatter of Machine Gun, the driving beats of Silence or the Kate Bush-isms of The Rip.

The success of a business today depends on its online presence. Accordingly, e-business is one of the fastest growing and most in-demand modern industries. The e-business program prepares you to thrive in an online business context, examining a broad range of topics from online architecture to usability, while covering many of the relevant issues that managers face in internet-based environments. You will be well-equipped to start your own online business, join an existing company or invent new ways of doing business online.
EU Business School's Online MBA is held over three, 10-week terms and has the same structure as the full-time MBA program. Average MBA-related work time is around 30 to 40 hours per week for the full-time program and 20 to 25 for the part-time option. Each term, participants take five courses and various seminars online. Coursework includes online team building and group work, peer-to-peer communication, online lectures, active class discussions, on-campus work and case study analyses.
The program web portal is available 24 hours a day, with open access to study materials, syllabi, plans, and guides, reading materials, lectures and discussion forums. In addition to virtual access to classroom materials, students can also count on a comprehensive support network.
Online MBA students are required to turn in a project at the end of their final term that will take about six months to complete. Each student is assigned a faculty advisor or mentor who will guide them during the process.
After nine weeks of online study, students travel to one of EU's main campuses in Barcelona, Geneva or Munich to take part in on-campus week. Students are only required to attend one on-campus week throughout the duration of the program. During on-campus week, students meet their classmates and take part in lectures, industrial visits, exams and networking events that complement their online experience.
1) Focus on marketing and branding essentials, such as banner and search engine optimization.
2) Discover how to effectively build and maintain a corporate e-business.
3) Form a practical approach to real world case studies and examples.
4) Learn from the point of view of the consumer.
The dissertation allows students to combine the skills and tools acquired throughout their MBA into a final project that uses strategic business thinking for success in the business world. Is it to be turned in within three months of the end of the final term? Students choose their topic with the help of their MBA Dissertation Advisor. Many participants use it to study a new market they want to enter as entrepreneurs; others use it as a tool to research and analyze their existing companies.

Q: CakePHP 2.5.2 Themeing and theme.ctp I've created a simple application that is about to be vastly expanded upon and get a bit out of hand if I don't get the theme sorted out early as I need to start working with tinyMCE.
I created my theme in app/View/Themed/Default and added the following into my app controller
public $theme = 'Default';

Something seems to be working because cakePHP is not rendering my views and is giving me the following errors.

Error: The view for {controller name}Controller::add() was not found.
Error: Confirm you have created the file:
  /home/cake/public_html/app/View/Themed/Default/{controller}/theme.ctp

I've been reading through the documentation and nowhere in there does it tell me that I need to create a folder for every controller and add a theme.ctp file inside. so I'm at a bit of a loss as to what needs to go into this theme.ctp file.
If I add the Controller folder, and a blank them.ctp file, the view is not rendered. So I am assuming something vital is required here.

A: I discovered the problem.
Further down the page from legacy code that was ported across, the following code was sitting at the bottom of the page.
AppController.php
function beforeRender() {
    $this->view = "Theme";
    $this->theme = "default";
}

So it was being forced into rendering a view that did not exist.

If you grew up in the 80s, chances are you had a My Little Pony (or two) in your possession, along with your Polly Pocket and your Rainbow Brite.
Well, would you believe the popular franchise is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year - and they're doing so in style.
To the mark the occasion, toy company Basic Fun is re-releasing the original six My Little Ponies: Minty, Blue Bell, Butterscotch, Snuzzle, Blossom, and Cotton Candy - and we're feeling seriously nostalgic.
"In the world of retro, probably the most exciting new thing we're launching is Retro My Little Pony," Brad Pederson of Basic Fun told kidscreen last year. "We think the market is going to respond to that opportunity, and breathe new life into the retro phenomenon that we have, historically, been very dominant in."
If your kids aren't into the revamped My Little Pony, and you didn't catch the star-studded movie adaptation last year, you probably won't be familiar with what the ponies look like now.
Thankfully, the 35th anniversary editions look pretty close to the originals - and they even come with a comb!
"With long, shiny hair that you can comb, braid, and style, they look and feel just like you remember and are the perfect gift for kids or adult collectors," the website promises.
But it gets better. The six rainbow ponies: Sunlight, Starshine, Windy, Parasol, Skydancer, and Moonstone, have also been re-released, complete with a "special scent".
While an Australian release date has yet to be made public, the toys have been available in the US since earlier this year. You can snap some up on eBay here for varying price tags.


This FireFox Extension is supposed to provide an assistance and decrease the complexity of browsing through the OpenOffice.org site infrastructure by providing a Firefox menu with the most important entry points.
These entry points will be maintained and hold in sync with relevant projects people may want to jump to. In future releases it is planned to add functionality as it is related to Firefox and OpenOffice.org.
Furthermore the extension extends Firefox's context menu with an easy access to the most relevant search engines for OpenOffice.org. It seeks for an OpenOffice.org bug in the Issuezilla bug database or start a search at google or wikipedia with the currently selected text.
Due to the size of the project it gets sometimes pretty hard and confusing to find the right entry points.

The "Run to Lead – 6 Week to 5km" pilot program is currently in its final week. Here is an update on how the program has been going and what I have learnt throughout the process.
The program began with 3 participants – a favourable number for a pilot program. All participants were excited and rearing to go as they received their personalised program and started warming up for the first group session.
Participant 1 made it to the first group session, as rain, wind and some intermittent thunder cracks came out to play. Week 2 saw Participant 2 join in for some efforts along the riverside walkway with the Obama entourage keeping us entertained. We ventured into the City Gardens for Week 3, where Participant 2 was joined by a fellow runner who kept her company in some longer efforts. Week 4 was abandoned due to the severe storm. Week 5 and Week 6 group runs has similarly been abandoned due to life circumstances of each participant i.e. work, home, family being a priority.
You could say that this was not a very successful program, but in fact you would be wrong. The "Run to Lead" philosophy is all about promoting leadership through running. This means knowing when to run, and when not to.
Each participant learnt what was important in their life; what they could reasonably fit into their current life; and how to successfully prioritise their life when unforeseen circumstances arise. This is success and good leadership.
You don't necessarily have to achieve a desired goal to be successful in life. Success comes from good leadership which is ultimately working with your current circumstances and being able to navigate through the ebbs and flows with ease.
So after a successful pilot program, I am happy to announce I will be offering regular programs in 2015 including a "6 Week – Run for fun" Beginner Program, and a "6 Week to 5km" Ocassional Runner Program. Find out more and register here.
