It should be remembered that the maximum benefit for activating the interstitial metabolism of fatty tissue is achieved not by the duration of the exercises at a measured pace, but by their intensity.
When you commit an act of urination, try to interrupt it. These are the muscles that you strained, and you need to train.
These exercises have funny names, children are interested in imitating the behavior of animals, birds, trees.
What are the useful exercises for strengthening the pelvic muscles and who should you definitely strengthen these muscles? What exercises for strengthening pelvic muscles are most effective, and how to properly perform them?
Effective exercises are able to show good results after a week of regular training. So you just have to try.
Exercises to increase the buttocks are performed for the development of the gluteal muscles. Each person has six of them - three on the right and left, and they refer to the external muscles of the pelvis.
Before you begin the exercises for weight loss, you need to find out the possibility of exercise, the presence of contraindications to the load of the legs.

There's Nothing Left in the Tank in the Southeast
In Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina, drivers are finding it hard to find gasoline following a pipeline rupture in Alabama.
David Goldman / AP
DURHAM, N.C.—The '70s are back in the Southeast.
No, it's not a Republican candidate for president promising law and order. It's not the latest bellbottom revival. It's not even the North Carolina-centered movement of Grateful Dead-inspired musicians.
Instead, drivers across the region are lining up at gas stations, hoping to fill up their cars. A gas shortage began September 9, when a mining inspector noticed a gasoline odor in Shelby County, Alabama. Colonial Pipeline discovered that there was a leak in a line that runs from Houston up to New Jersey. More than 300,000 gallons leaked from the line. Somewhat miraculously, the spill seems to have avoided the worst ecological damage, because much of the gas ended up in a retaining pond.
But while the pipeline is being repaired, there are gas shortages in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and the Carolinas. In Tennessee, Governor Bill Haslam declared a state of emergency on Friday. The governors of Georgia and North Carolina loosened rules on truckers' hours to try to make it easier to move gasoline in. The major effect hasn't been so much on prices, though those are up. In Tennessee, per-gallon prices were going up around 5 cents to 15 cents, though in some cases as much as 30 cents. Prices jumped 31 cents on average in Atlanta. In North Carolina, prices also surged, but the state's anti-gouging law is holding down the increase, as it did in Georgia. What's striking is that even with the spikes, many prices are still below $2.50—the magical, and at the time unthinkable, number below which Newt Gingrich promised to bring prices, when he was running for president in 2012.
The more visible effect has been on availability: As if it were 1973, many gas stations simply don't have gas to pump, at any price.
"People are freaking out," a gas-station employee in Asheville, North Carolina, told the Citizen-Times.
Brett Kern, the Tennessee Titans' punter, told an NPR reporter he nearly ran out of gas before finding a story with supply. "I was 0 for 6 on Saturday, 0 for 3 yesterday, and then I called about four stations this morning," he said. "This was the first one that had it."
On a drive Tuesday morning between Durham and Chapel Hill, North Carolina, your correspondent found that most prices were still between $2.10 and $2.25 per gallon, but several stations had no gas. One BP station changed its sign to read "0.00," not a statement of free gas but an acknowledgement that a motorist couldn't pay for it. Several miles up the road, a small traffic jam surrounded a rare service station that offered fill-ups.
To try to address the shortage, Colonial on Monday began running gasoline through a second, parallel pipe that usually carries diesel and other products. Gasoline was also being moved on tanker ships toward New York. Colonial said Tuesday it had finished repairs and hoped to have the pipeline back on line on Wednesday thanks to a temporary bypass. After that, it will take a few days for the shortage to end, but the lines for gas should be gone again. Now, if only we could get Ted Nugent to go back to the '70s, too.

Is the Netflix show 13 Reasons Why linked to suicide?
It depends on who you ask, how they measure it — and even what season people watch
13 Reasons Why is a show about the suicide of Hannah Baker (left). Scientists and medical professionals worried that people who watched the show might be at higher risk for suicide themselves.
Beth Dubber/Netflix
When the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why debuted on March 31, 2017, doctors and people who study teen mental health immediately began to worry. The show focuses on teen suicide. It also covers other intense topics, such as sexual harassment, assault and school shootings. Experts were concerned that watching the show might raise viewers' risk of suicide. Now the results of two studies looking at the show's effects on suicides have been released. Neither study can prove the show increased or decreased youth suicides. But media should still cover tough topics with care, the scientists warn.
13 Reasons Why is based on a book with the same name by Jay Asher. It focuses on the suicide of a teen girl. The first season leads up to her suicide, which is shown in graphic detail. The show was immediately popular, and the first season was the third most-binged show on Netflix in 2017. A second season was released on May 18, 2018.
Lisa Horowitz and other scientists began to worry as soon as they heard about the show. Horowitz is a pediatric psychologist — someone who studies the thoughts and behaviors of children and teens. She works at the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, Md. "I have to tell you, when I saw the trailer for the show … I was literally nauseous," she says.
Horowitz was worried about suicide contagion. Research has shown that people may become more likely to show suicidal behavior after being exposed to suicide in their family, community or the media. Horowitz and her colleagues were therefore concerned that 13 Reasons Why might increase rates of teen suicide.
After the show aired, the researchers examined data that had been collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This government agency tracks how and when people have died. The Horowitz team looked at how many people died by suicide between 2013 and the end of 2017. They divided those data into three age groups: 10 to 17, 18 to 29, and 30 to 64. Then, the scientists compared suicide rates before the show aired to those right around the time of its release.
In general, suicides increased over time. But for people over 18, there were no more suicides after the show aired than the scientists would have predicted. In contrast, there was a 29 percent increase in the suicide rate among 10- to 17-year-olds in April 2017. That was the month after the show came out. There also were more suicides among teens in March 2017, when the trailer for the show was spreading around the internet.
Overall, the researchers estimated that 195 more suicides occurred among 10- to 17-year-olds than would have been expected. And although the show focuses on the suicide of a teenage girl, the biggest increase occurred in teen boys. Horowitz and her colleagues published their results April 28 in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
Explainer: Correlation, causation, coincidence and more
"Overall, it's consistent with other research out there," Patricia Ortiz said of the findings. She is a psychiatrist at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. However, she adds, the research does not prove that the show caused those extra deaths. That's because there was only a correlation between an increase in suicides and the TV show. "We can't prove these people [who committed suicide] saw the show or were exposed to it," Ortiz explains. "Suicides are very rarely due to one thing. There are lots of factors."
After mental-health professionals criticized Netflix for putting out the show in 2017, a message from the show's cast was added to the beginning of each season. Each episode also has notes before it that warn viewers of potentially disturbing content. That note stresses that 13 Reasons Why addresses tough topics and encourages people to seek help if they need it. It also offers a website with resources to help.
Same show, different finding
Dan Romer is a psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Like Horowitz, he also was very concerned about 13 Reasons Why. Instead of looking through death records, however, he and his colleagues decided to ask people who were watching the show how they were feeling.
They surveyed 729 people between the ages of 18 and 29. Each filled out surveys before and after watching the second season of the show. The second season — like the first — is pretty grim. "I couldn't watch the whole thing," Romer notes. "It's just awful. Everything goes wrong all the time." But the second season, at least, ends in a much more hopeful place than the first.
Romer found that people who watched some of the second season — but not all — were at a higher risk for suicide. They thought about it more often and were less hopeful about the future. But if people — especially students — watched the second season to the end, they had a lower risk of suicide. In fact, they had fewer suicidal thoughts than people who had never seen the show at all. Romer and his colleagues published their findings April 25 in the journal Social Science & Medicine.
The study "essentially found the opposite effect" from the first, says Kimberly O'Brien of Harvard Medical School in Cambridge, Mass. She's a research scientist in the field of psychiatric social work. But this second study, too, found only a correlation. It doesn't prove that watching the show leads to one feeling or another. Teens and young adults have many other stresses in their lives that might contribute to suicidal thoughts.
Correlation isn't always contagion
In a May 3 statement, a Netflix spokesperson said the network was aware of both studies and that they may be seen as contradicting each other. It also acknowledged that suicide is "a critically important topic and we have worked hard to ensure that we handle this sensitive issue responsibly."
This is the warning note that viewers see now before viewing 13 Reasons Why on Netflix.
Netflix/YouTube
Neither study can prove that 13 Reasons Why increased — or decreased — the risk for suicide. "We couldn't prove it," Horowitz says. Still, she says, "I think it needs to be a wakeup call." That wakeup call is for the media to think about how they are depicting suicide and how it might affect teens and young adults. "We're trying to decrease the suicide rate," she notes. "We do not need something that's increasing it."
This means that the media — whether it's Netflix (there will be a third season of 13 Reasons Why), people writing about the show or journalists writing about suicide in general — need to be careful about how they discuss suicide.
But that doesn't mean no one should bring up the topic. It only means that people should do so carefully. "There's a myth that if you talk to someone about suicide, you put the thought in their head," says Horowitz. "That's a myth. It's not true." The best way to help someone who might be at risk, she explains, is to talk to them about it.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among young adults ages 15 to 29 as of 2016. If you or someone you know is suffering from suicidal thoughts, please seek help. In the United States, you can call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline, 1-800-273-TALK (8255). Or you can text 741-741. Please do not suffer in silence.
adolescent Someone in that transitional stage of physical and psychological development that begins at the onset of puberty, typically between the ages of 11 and 13, and ends with adulthood.
behavior The way something, often a person or other organism, acts towards others, or conducts itself.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC An agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, CDC is charged with protecting public health and safety by working to control and prevent disease, injury and disabilities. It does this by investigating disease outbreaks, tracking exposures by Americans to infections and toxic chemicals, and regularly surveying diet and other habits among a representative cross-section of all Americans.
correlation A mutual relationship or connection between two variables. When there is a positive correlation, an increase in one variable is associated with an increase in the other. (For instance, scientists might correlate an increase in time spent watching TV with an increase in rates of obesity.) Where there is an inverse correlation, an increase in one value is associated with a drop in the other. (Scientists might correlate an increase in TV watching with a decrease in time spent exercising each week.) A correlation between two variables does not necessarily mean one is causing the other.
factor Something that plays a role in a particular condition or event; a contributor.
media (in the social sciences) A term for the ways information is delivered and shared within a society. It encompasses not only the traditional media — newspapers, magazines, radio and television — but also Internet- and smartphone-based outlets, such as blogs, Twitter, Facebook and more. The newer, digital media are sometimes referred to as social media. The singular form of this term is medium.
mental health A term for someone's emotional, psychological and social well-being. It refers to how people behave on their own and how they interact with others. It includes how people make choices, handle stress and manage fear or anxiety. Poor mental health can be triggered by disease or merely reflect a short-term response to life's challenges. It can occur in people of any age, from babies to the elderly.
psychiatrist A medical doctor who spends many years learning to study and treat diseases of the human mind. Treatments may consist of talking therapies, prescription drugs or both. This medical field is known as psychiatry.
psychologist A scientist or mental-health professional who studies the human mind, especially in relation to actions and behaviors.
risk The chance or mathematical likelihood that some bad thing might happen. For instance, exposure to radiation poses a risk of cancer. Or the hazard — or peril — itself. (For instance: Among cancer risks that the people faced were radiation and drinking water tainted with arsenic.)
social science The scientific study of people and their relationships to each other.
suicidal A mental state in which a person feels a strong impulse to take his or her own life (also known as committing suicide). Warning signs may include talking about wanting to die or about making plans to commit suicide; saying goodbye to people as if this person won't ever see them again; taking steps to make it possible to commit suicide, such as obtaining a gun or drugs that could cause death; being obsessed with the subject of death or dying; and withdrawing from social contact in a way that is unusual for that person.
suicide contagion The concept that some people may become more likely to exhibit suicidal thoughts or behaviors after learning of friends or family members who become suicidal or after encountering suicides in books, movies and other media.
survey To view, examine, measure or evaluate something, often land or broad aspects of a landscape. (with people) To ask questions that glean data on the opinions, practices (such as dining or sleeping habits), knowledge or skills of a broad range of people. Researchers select the number and types of people questioned in hopes that the answers these individuals give will be representative of others who are their age, belong to the same ethnic group or live in the same region. (n.) The list of questions that will be offered to glean those data.

Yomi Bankole (* 7. Januar 1960; † 29. Januar 2012 in Lagos) war ein nigerianischer Tischtennisspieler mit internationaler Karriere in den 1980er und 1990er Jahren. Bei afrikanischen Kontinentalturnieren gewann er mehrere Medaillen, zudem nahm er an drei Weltmeisterschaften sowie an den zwei Olympischen Spielen teil.

Werdegang
Bei Afrikameisterschaften wurde Yomi Bankole 1985 Zweiter im Einzel und Sieger mit der nigerianischen Mannschaft. 1988 kam er im Einzel ins Halbfinale, im Doppel wurde er Zweiter mit Fatai Adeyemo. 1987 trat er bei den African Games an. Hier holte er mit der Mannschaft Gold, im Einzel erreichte er das Endspiel. Dreimal wurde er für Weltmeisterschaften nominiert, nämlich 1983, 1985 und 1989, kam dabei jedoch nie in die Nähe von Medaillenrängen.

1988 und 1992 qualifizierte sich Yomi Bankole für die Teilnahme an den Olympischen Spielen. 1988 gelangen ihm in den Gruppenspielen im Einzel drei Siege, nämlich gegen Zsolt Harczi (Ungarn), Alain Choo-choy (Mauritius) und Abdul Wahab Ali (Irak). Da er jedoch auch vier Niederlagen in Kauf nehmen musste, erreichte er nicht die Hauptrunde. Im Doppelwettbewerb gelang ihm mit seinem Partner Fatai Adeyemo in den Gruppenspielen bei sechs Niederlagen lediglich ein Sieg gegen die Brasilianer Carlos Kawai/Cláudio Kano, womit die Hauptrunde verpasst wurde. Auch 1992 scheiterte er im Einzel in den Gruppenspielen, wo er zwei Spiele verlor und sich lediglich gegen Raed Hamdan durchsetzte. Im Doppel mit Segun Toriola besiegte er die Kubaner Rubén Arado/Santiago Roque. Wegen zwei Niederlagen gegen ein englisches und ein chinesisches Doppel war in den Gruppenspielen Endstation.

Nach 1992 trat Yomi Bankole bei bedeutenden internationalen Wettbewerben nicht mehr auf.

2004 wurde er wegen eines bewaffneten Raubüberfalles zu vier Jahren Gefängnis verurteilt. Nach seiner Entlassung spielte er weiterhin Tischtennis, ehe er 2012 nach kurzer Krankheit starb.

There's a funny thing about Colias Eurytheme. They are in our gardens, parks and downtowns. We see them all the time, but fewer than 1 in 100 people will be able to tell you their name. They live among us in nearly total obscurity. They are fun to follow, but in flight, soon zoom away. Female butterflies search for flowers with nectar and for males seeking females.
When I began seriously photographing butterflies many years ago, I thought that these orange sulphurs were the dumbest of the lepidoptera. Why? Because they flew like maniacs, flying here, there, here again and then speeding down the trails for the next rounds of here, there, here again. I now understand that those 'maniacs' were in fact not purposeless goofs, but instead they were males, methodically searching for mates. In fact they were tirelessly flying for hours, and only briefly resting once in a while.
The female butterfly in this photograph is frontally lit, and the light nicely displays her beautiful wings. She's in a great place, the Outdoor Gardens of the Phipps Conservatory. Phipps is a nirvana for butterflies looking for nectar.
You might be wondering, "How do they get through our rough winters?" The answer is that pupa remain hidden and revision of their fluids enable them to survive. Neat, huh?
Rain fell during the winter months in southcentral Arizona. Media reports forecasting potentially spectacular wildflower phenomena in March and April triggered good memories of stalking butterflies in the cs of White Mountains Regional Park. The park is just 30 minutes from my family in Sun City West, Arizona, so I pushed the "Go" button and booked my flight.
What beauty awaited me!. Wildflowers were everywhere, carpeting the hills, mountains and arroyos. Colors were rich, blanketing everything in every direction. This image represents the vivid contrasts presented in those arroyos – the stark, rich hues against rock with dramatic, eye-popping personality.
The butterflies were out and about. Yes, they were flying and drinking nectar with glee! But this time they had to share my attention with the wildflowers and infinite 360 degree panorama.
In southern Arizona, be mindful of the heat. Get there at 6:30 AM and leave NLT 10:00 AM.
We share with you one of the most fascinating butterfly images that I have ever photographed. In real terms, this is one of the 50,000+ slides we've processed. It is one among the most enigmatic in the collection.
This Danaus plexippus female butterfly was resting on a wilted flowerhead in Nichol field in Raccoon Creek State Park in Southwestern Pennsylvania. There may have been a bit of damage to the margin of her hindwings, but she was otherwise intact and beautiful. It was 10:20 A.M. on a sunny morning, and I decided to attempt to photograph her. I made my patented, methodical approach. Take a look at the Technique feature for more details.
I was within excellent range for my macro lens– just 12″ away from the butterfly. She remained in place and did not flee. What happened next continues to puzzle me. Why? Because I have approached several hundred thousand butterflies over the years and I have never seen a butterfly do exactly what this one did. I recently attended an international Congress of lepidopterists and when a researcher presented his study of butterflies and their ability to respond to visual stimuli, I noted this experience during the Q and A interaction – but without much response.
What happened? She turned her head to her right, and looked at me. She paused. She fled.
I have never seen a butterfly turn its head before or since. I didn't know that their heads could move to the right or to the left.
When she had flown away, I stood up and truth be told, puzzled over it.

Elementary school dance moves
Kendall is even more excited about the dance than Emily, originally uploaded by MCuthbert.
Emily attended her first school dance tonight. That's right -- a school dance... in kindergarten. It was a fundraiser for the elementary school, though -- nothing too strange. She and Kendall were both really excited about the event, counting down the days until they got to dress up fancy.
When we got there, we ate pizza in the cafeteria and met another girl from Emily's class who was there with her mother and little sister (who was 2, just like Kendall). Once the girls started racing around the lunch room though, we knew it was time to herd them into the gymnasium where the real action was taking place.
Despite the fact that the decorations consisted of a single string of white lights strung across the edge of a stage, Emily stopped short at the doorway and gasped, "It's gorgeous!" If only we'd known sooner, putting up Christmas decorations could have been a lot easier.
Overall, the dance was a pretty low-key event, but the kids sure had fun. There's nothing like a bunch of 5- to 10-year-olds cutting lose on the dance floor with no inhibitions. Misty shot some video because the kids were just cracking us up.
We stuck around for about an hour while our girls danced along to such age-appropriate pop tunes as "Blame It (On the Alcohol)" and "Womanizer." Oh, well -- the kids don't pay any attention to the lyrics, anyway (I hope). At one point, Emily broke away from dancing with Kendall and busted out some wild choreography that made us question just how much sugary soda she'd had to drink. Observe...

Scientists Capture Laser Bouncing Off A Mirror On Video
By Shane McGlaun/Jan. 28, 2015 7:30 am EST
The fact that lasers can be bounced off a mirror is nothing new. Anyone with a laser pointer can figure this out for themselves and researchers have been bouncing lasers off mirrors for years. A group of scientists has captured the flight path of a laser beam on video for the first time. Capturing the laser on video is much more difficult than it might seem.
The laser photons travel in a tight beam and we can only see them when the laser hits something that reflects the light to produce a visible dot. Researcher Genevieve Gariepy from the Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, UK says that the challenge was to make a video of laser light moving directly in the air.
The researchers made a camera sensitive enough to pick up the few photons of laser light that scatter in air. The camera is made of a grid of detectors measuring 32 x 32 able to take images with precision and extreme speed. The team says that the camera is snapping the equivalent of 20 billion frames per second.
The camera was arranged to film a view of the side of a green laser beam that was fired at an arrangement of mirrors. The team fired 2 million pulses over a ten-minute period and were able to build up enough air scattered photos in the camera to track the laser path. The result is the video you can see below.

ETD Officially Back on Tour! #BUILDABRIDGE / November 7, 2017 by ETD
In a multi-purpose "give back" to the people of Mexico, ETD will return to the Mexican state of Yucatán from November 14 through November 20 with free, open to the public concerts, workshops for professional dancers, and Movement Expression Workshops for young victims of violence, mistreatment and abuse. The tour, in partnership with Umbral Danza Contemporánea, will visit two cities, Chocholá and Mérida, and conclude with performances on Nov. 18 and 19 at the International Dance Festival Avant Garde at Teatro José Peón Contreras in Mérida, Yucatán's capital. This year, the Company has also been developing an international cultural exchange program directly with Umbral: #BuildABridge.
Being of Mexican decent myself, I have a deep connection to Mexico and family history that spans generations. It's a special joy to offer the healing powers of movement to the most vulnerable minority groups in the Yucatán. It's more important than ever to reach out to our global neighbors to spread cultural unity through movement.
The first city we visit on our tour is Chocholá, a city steeped in Mayan culture with little exposure to the outside world. It has an indigenous population still speaking the Mayan language! Chocholá's population has been exposed only to native folkloric dance. Our visit will include dance workshops for local children, introducing them to contemporary music and modern dance technique. In addition, they will learn repertory from "Cycles," a new ETD work that premiered in October at the company's 2017 NYC Season. The dance students will be invited to perform for the company, and will also serve as "guest stars" at a local ETD performance. The Eryc Taylor Dance visit to Chocholá will conclude with presentation of the companies works at a free, outdoor concert at the town's municipal palace, hosted by Chocholá's mayor.
After four days in Chocholá, the company will travel to Mérida, Yucatán's capital, to work with young residents of Refugio Casa Crisal AC, an orphanage for girls who were violated, mistreated, or abused. Using techniques culled from my programming with ETD Outreach Movement Workshops, my dancers will use movement as a tool to inspire and heal, while serving to improve the participants' physical and mental health.
The Eryc Taylor Dance tour of the Yucatán will conclude with performances at the International Dance Festival Avant Garde at Teatro José Peón Contreras in Mérida, November 18 and 19. We are so grateful for this experience and cannot wait to touch ground in Mérida!

Computers come in a variety of types designed for different purposes, with different capabilities and costs.
A microcomputer is a computer that has a microprocessor chip (or multiple microprocessors) as its CPU. They are more commonly called personal computers because they are designed to be used by one person at a time. Personal computers are typically used at home, at school, or at a business. Popular uses for microcomputers include word processing, surfing the Web, sending and receiving e-mail, spreadsheet calculations, database management, editing photographs, creating graphics, and playing music or games.
Desktop computers are larger and not meant to be portable. They usually sit in one place on a desk or table and are plugged into a wall outlet for power. The case of the computer holds the motherboard, drives, power supply, and expansion cards. This case may lay flat on the desk, or it may be a tower that stands vertically (on the desk or under it). The computer usually has a separate monitor (either a CRT or LCD) although some designs have a display built into the case. A separate keyboard and mouse allow the user to input data and commands.
Notebook or laptop computers are small and lightweight enough to be carried around with the user. They run on battery power, but can also be plugged into a wall outlet. They typically have a built-in LCD display that folds down to protect the display when the computer is carried around. They also feature a built-in keyboard and some kind of built-in pointing device (such as a touch pad).
While some laptops are less powerful than typical desktop machines, this is not true in all cases. Laptops, however, cost more than desktop units of equivalent processing power because the smaller components needed to build laptops are more expensive.
There are also less-powerful versions of notebook computers called subnotebooks, and netbooks that are used mainly to access the Internet.
A Tablet Computer (often just called a tablet) generally has the format of a handheld slate consisting of a large LCD touchscreen used for both input and output. Tablets typically include a WiFi and/or cellular network data connection to access the Internet. Tablets run applications specifically designed for these touchscreen devices, but they also can do some activities such as word processing or spreadsheets, although the lack of a physical keyboard usually makes such activities more cumbersome on tablets than they are on desktop or notebook machines. Examples of tablet computers include the Apple iPad and machines from various manufacturers that run the Android OS.
Smartphones are high-end mobile phones that typically run operating systems similar to the tablet computers discussed above, so they often share the same applications as tablets. They combine the features of a mobile phone, PDA (see below), camera, music player, GPS device, etc. Many smartphones use a touchscreen for input, but some include physical keyboards.
A Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) is a handheld microcomputer that trades off power for small size and greater portability. They typically use a touch-sensitive LCD screen for both output and input (the user draws characters and presses icons on the screen with a stylus). PDAs communicate with desktop computers and with each other either by cable connection, infrared (IR) beam, or radio waves. PDAs are normally used to keep track of appointment calendars, to-do lists, address books, and for taking notes.
A palmtop or handheld PC is a very small microcomputer that also sacrifices power for small size and portability. These devices typically look more like a tiny laptop than a PDA, with a flip-up screen and small keyboard. They may use Windows CE or similar operating system for handheld devices.
Some PDAs and palmtops contain wireless networking or cell phone devices so that users can check e-mail or surf the web on the move.
A workstation is a powerful, high-end microcomputer. They contain one or more microprocessor CPUs. They may be used by a single-user for applications requiring more power than a typical PC (rendering complex graphics, or performing intensive scientific calculations).
Alternately, workstation-class microcomputers may be used as server computers that supply files to client computers over a network or the Internet. This class of powerful microcomputers can also be used to handle the processing for many users simultaneously who are connected via terminals; in this respect, high-end workstations have essentially supplanted the role of minicomputers (see below).
Note! The term "workstation" also has an alternate meaning: In networking, any client computer connected to the network that accesses server resources may be called a workstation. Such a network client workstation could be a personal computer or even a "workstation" as defined at the top of this section. Note: Dumb terminals are not considered to be network workstations (client workstations on the network are capable of running programs independently of the server, but a terminal is not capable of independent processing).
There are classes of computers that are not microcomputers. These include supercomputers, mainframes, and minicomputers.
A minicomputer is a multi-user computer that is less powerful than a mainframe. This class of computers became available in the 1960's when large scale integrated circuits made it possible to build a computer much cheaper than the then existing mainframes (minicomputers cost around $100,000 instead of the $1,000,000 cost of a mainframe).
The niche previously filled by the minicomputer has been largely taken over by high-end microcomputer workstations serving multiple users (see above).
A mainframe computer is a large, powerful computer that handles the processing for many users simultaneously (up to several hundred users). The name mainframe originated after minicomputers appeared in the 1960's to distinguish the larger systems from the smaller minicomputers.
Users connect to the mainframe using terminals and submit their tasks for processing by the mainframe. A terminal is a device that has a screen and keyboard for input and output, but it does not do its own processing (they are also called dumb terminals since they can't process data on their own). The processing power of the mainframe is time-shared between all of the users. (Note that a personal computer may be used to "emulate" a dumb terminal to connect to a mainframe or minicomputer; you run a program on the PC that pretends to be a dumb terminal).
Mainframes typically cost several hundred thousand dollars. They are used in situations where a company wants the processing power and information storage in a centralized location. Mainframes are also now being used as high-capacity server computers for networks with many client workstations or for serving files over the Internet.
A supercomputer is mainframe computer that has been optimized for speed and processing power. The most famous series of supercomputers were designed by the company founded and named after Seymour Cray. The Cray-1 was built in the 1976 and installed at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Supercomputers are used for extremely calculation-intensive tasks such simulating nuclear bomb detonations, aerodynamic flows, and global weather patterns. A supercomputer typically costs several million dollars.
Recently, some supercomputers have been constructed by connecting together large numbers of individual processing units (in some cases, these processing units are standard microcomputer hardware).
Please note: All of this talk of which computers are more powerful than others (i.e., mainframes are more powerful than minicomputers, which are more powerful than microcomputers) is relative for any particular moment in time. However, all classes of computers are becoming more powerful with time as technology improves. The microprocessor chip in a handheld calculator is more powerful than the ENIAC was, and your desktop computer has more processing power than the first supercomputers did.
Computers are, in fact, all around you. Microprocessor chips are found in many electronic devices (in your iPod, in your DVD player, in your microwave, in your car, in your phone). These are special-purpose computers that run programs to control the equipment and optimize its performance.

Shahidul Islam alias Shahid, 42, the convicted killer of Scholastica student Shazneen Tasnim Rahman, was hanged at Kashimpur High Security Central Jail on Wednesday night. The execution was performed around 9:45pm, Jailer of Kashimpur Central Jail Bikash Rayhan confirmed. Shahidul's brother Mohidul Islam received the body from the jail authorities after execution. Five relatives, including Mahidul, met Shahid at the jail earlier in the day, said jail sources. On April 23, 1998, Shazneen Tasnim Rahman, a grade IX student of Scholastica School in Dhaka and daughter of Transcom Group chairman Latifur Rahman, was raped and murdered at her residence. Judge of the Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal Kazi Rahmatullah handed down death penalty to six accused for their involvement in planning and executing the murder on September 2, 2003. The convicts were Syed Sazzad Mainuddin Hasan, a contractor who was appointed to repair the house, Shahidul Islam, a domestic help, Sazzad's assistant Badal, carpenter Shaniram Mandal, and maids Estema Khatun Minu and Parvin. On July 10, 2006, the High Court upheld the death penalty of five convicts and acquitted carpenter Shaniram Mandal of all charges. Later, four of the convicts filed a leave-to-appeal with the Supreme Court against the High Court order that was granted by the Appellate Division on April 26, 2009. Shahidul filed a jail appeal A bench of five judges of Appellate Division, led by the then Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha, on August 2 last year, upheld the death sentence of Shahidul and acquitted four convicts in the sensational killing case.

FULL GARDENS .com - Composting to improve soil - Building up the nutrients and productivity of your soil....naturally. How to compost for a green garden.
Composting is the aerobic decomposition of biodegradable organic matter, producing compost. (Or in a simpler form: Composting is the decaying of food, mostly vegetables or manure.) The decomposition is performed primarily by facultative and obligate aerobic bacteria, yeasts and fungi, helped in the cooler initial and ending phases by a number of larger organisms, such as ils, and other families representing ants, nematodes and oligochaete worms.
Composting can be divided into home composting and industrial composting. Essentially the same biological processes are involved in both scales of composting, however techniques and different factors must be taken into account.
Composting recycles or "downcycles" organic household and yard waste and manures into an extremely useful humus-like, soil end-product called compost. Examples are fruits, vegetables and yard clippings. Ultimately this permits the return of needed organic matter and nutrients into the foodchain and reduces the amount of "green" waste going into landfills. Composting is widely believed to speed up the natural process of decomposition appreciably as a result of the raised temperatures that often accompany it. The elevated heat results from exothermic processes, and the heat in turn reduces the generational time of microorganisms and thereby speeds the energy and nutrient exchanges taking place. It is a very popular misnomer that composting is a "controlled" process; if the right environmental circumstances are present the process virtually runs itself. Hence a popular expression, "compost happens". It is nonetheless very necessary to provide as optimal circumstances as possible for large amounts of organic waste to break down properly. This is especially so when it is accompanied by heating, since at elevated temperatures oxygen within the piles is consumed more rapidly, and if not controlled, will lead to malodor.
Decomposition similar to composting occurs throughout nature as garbage dissolves in the absence of all the conditions that modern composters talk about; however, the process can be slow. For example, in the forest bark, wood and leaves break down into humus over 3-7 years. In restricted environments, for example, vegetables in a plastic trash container, decomposition with a lack of air encourages growth of anaerobic microbes, which produce disagreeable odors. Another form of degradation practiced deliberately in absence of oxygen is called anaerobic digestion- an increasingly popular companion to composting as it enables capture of residual energy in the form of biogas, whereas composting releases the majority of bound carbon-energy as excess heat (which helps sanitize the material) as well as copious amounts of biogenic CO2 to the atmosphere.
It is important to distinguish between terms such as "biodegradable", "compostable", and "compost-compatible".
* A biodegradable material is capable of being broken down completely under the action of microorganisms into carbon dioxide, water and biomass. It may take a very long time for a material to biodegrade depending on its environment (e.g. hardwood in an arid area), but it ultimately breaks down completely.
* A compostable material biodegrades substantially under composting conditions, into carbon dioxide, methane, water and compost biomass. Compost biomass refers to the portion of the material that is metabolized by the microorganisms and which is incorporated into the cellular structure of the organisms or converted into humic acids etc. Compost biomass residues from a compostable material are fully biodegradable. "Compostable" is thus a subset of "biodegradable". The size of the material is a factor in determining compostability because it affects the rate of degradation. Large pieces of hardwood may not be compostable under a specific set of composting conditions, whereas sawdust of the same type of wood may be.
Many different materials are suitable for composting organisms. Composters often refer to "C:N" requirements; some materials contain high amounts of carbon in the form of cellulose which the bacteria need for their energy. Other materials contain nitrogen in the form of protein, which provide nutrients for the energy exchanges. It would however be an over-simplification to describe composting as about carbon and nitrogen, as is often portrayed in popular literature. Elemental carbon - such as charcoal - is not compostable nor is a pure form of nitrogen, even in combination with carbon. Not only this, but a great variety of man-made, carbon-containing products, including many textiles and polyethylene, are not compostable - hence the push for biodegradable plastics.
The most efficient composting occurs by seeking to obtain an initial C:N mix of 25/30 by dry chemical weight. Grass clippings have an average ratio of 10-19 to 1 and dry autumn leaves from 55-100 to 1. Mixing equal parts by volume approximates the ideal range.
Poultry manure provides much nitrogen but with a ratio to carbon that is imbalanced. If composted alone, this results in excessive N-loss in the form of ammonia - and some odor. Horse manure provides a good mix of both, although in modern stables, so much bedding may be used as to make the mix too carbonaceous.
For home-scale composting, mixing the materials as they are added increases the rate of decomposition, but it can be easier to place the materials in alternating layers, approximately 15 cm (6 in) thick, to help estimate the quantities. Keeping carbon and nitrogen sources separated in the pile can slow down the process, but decomposition will still occur.
Some people put special materials and activators into their compost. A light dusting of agricultural lime (not on animal manure layers) can curb excessive acidity, especially with food waste. Seaweed meal provides a ready source of trace elements. Finely pulverized rock (rock flour or rock dust) can also provide minerals, while clay and leached rock dust are poor in trace minerals.
Composting in the form of bioremediation can break down petroleum hydrocarbons, TNT and a variety of toxic compounds. This is the bacterial and in some cases fungal content of the compost, that possess the enzymatic properties to de-polymerize the complex man-made molecules. In other words, there is nothing about the composting process per se that adds or detracts from this, unless as noted above, by warming, to increase the metabolic rate of the constituent organisms.
Some materials are best left to high-rate, a thermophilic composting system, as they decompose slower, attract vermin and require higher temperatures to kill pathogens than backyard composting provides. These materials include meat, dairy products, eggs, restaurant grease, cooking oil, manure and bedding of non-herbivores, and residuals from the treatment of wastewater and drinking water. Meat and dairy products can be recycled using bokashi, a fermentation method.
There are two major approaches to composting: active and passive. These terms are somewhat of a misnomer since both active and passive composts can attain high heating, which increases the rate of biochemical processes. But the terms active and passive are appropriate descriptions for the nature of human intervention used.
Active (hot) composting is composting at close to ideal conditions, allowing aerobic bacteria to thrive. Aerobic bacteria break down material faster and produce less odor and fewer pathogens and destructive greenhouse gases than anaerobic bacteria. Commercial-grade composting operations actively control the composting conditions such as the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio. For backyard composters, the charts of carbon and nitrogen ratios in various ingredients and the calculations required to get the ideal mixture can be intimidating, so many rules of thumb exist for approximating it.
Pasteurisation is a misnomer in composting, as no compost will become truly sterilized by high temperatures alone. Rather, in a very hot compost where the temperature exceeds 55 �C (130 �F) for several days, the ability of organisms to survive is greatly compromised. Nevertheless, there are many organisms in nature that can survive extreme temperatures, including the group of pathogenic Clostridium, and so no compost is completely safe. To achieve the elevated temperatures, the compost bin must be kept warm, insulated and damp.
Aerated Composting is an efficient form of composting from the chemical point of view as it produces ultimately only energy in the form of waste heat and CO2 and H2O . With aerated composting, fresh air (i.e. oxygen) is introduced throughout the mix of materials using any appropriate mechanism. The air stimulates the microorganisms that are already in the mix, and their by-product is heat. In a properly operated compost system, pile temperatures are sufficient to stabilize the raw material, and the oxygen-rich conditions within the core of the pile eliminate offensive odors. High temperatures also destroy fly larvae and weed seeds, yielding a safe, high-quality finished product.
Finally, aeration expedites the composting process through the mechanism of heating insofar as the elevated heat will drive biochemical processes faster, so that a finished product can be rendered in 60 to 120 days. Aerated compost is an excellent source of macro- and micro-nutrients as well as stable organic matter, all of which support healthy plant growth. In addition, the micro-organisms in compost aid in the suppression of plant pathogens. Finally, compost retains water extremely well resulting in improved drought resistance, a longer growing season, and reduced soil erosion.
Passive composting is composting in which the level of physical intervention is kept to a minimum, and often as a result the temperatures never reach much above 30�C (86 �F). It is slower but is the more common type of composting in most domestic garden compost bins. Such composting systems may be either enclosed (home container composting, industrial in-vessel composting) or in exposed piles (industrial windrow composting). Kitchen scraps are put in the garden compost bin and left untended. This scrap bin can have a very high water content which reduces aeration, and so becomes odorous. To improve drainage and airflow, a gardener can mix in wood chips, small pieces of bark, leaves or twigs, or make physical holes through the pile.
An effective compost pile is about as damp as a well wrung-out sponge. This provides the moisture that all life requires. Microorganisms vary by their ideal temperature and the heat they generate as they digest. Mesophilic bacteria survive best at temperatures of 20 to 44 �C (70 to 120 �F). thermophilic (heat-surviving) bacteria grow optimally at around 55�C (130 �F), and can attain the fastest decomposition, since metabolic processes proceed more rapidly under higher temperatures. Elevated temperature is also preferred since it causes the most rapid pathogen reduction, and is more destructive of weed seeds. To minimally achieve it, the heap should be about 1 m (3 ft) wide, 1 m (3 ft) tall, and as long as is practicable. This provides enough insulating mass to build up heat but also allows aeration. The center of the pile heats up the most.
Worm composting or vermicomposting is a method of composting using Red Wiggler worms in a container. Food waste and moistened bedding are added, and the worms and micro-organisms eventually convert them to rich compost. The worms excrete a soil-nutrient material called worm castings. Worm composting can be done indoors, allowing year-round composting, and providing apartment dwellers with a means of composting.
Worms are low in the food chain, and so are critical to healthy soil. This is why farmers have historically wanted healthy worm populations to live in their fields.
Industrial composting systems are increasingly being installed as a waste management alternative to landfills, along with other advanced waste processing systems. Industrial composting or anaerobic digestion combined with mechanical sorting of mixed waste streams is called mechanical biological treatment increasingly used in Europe due to stringent new regulations controlling the amount of organic matter allowed in landfills. Treating biodegradable waste before it enters a landfill reduces global warming from fugitive methane; untreated waste breaks down anaerobically in a landfill, producing landfill gas that contains methane, a greenhouse gas even more potent than carbon dioxide.
Most commercial and industrial composting operations use active composting techniques. These ensure that the process does not get out of control especially with the high through-put demand imposed by contracted, incoming waste. This means that as short as possible a processing time must be maintained to keep the facility properly functioning (see compost windrow turner). Partly for this reason composters have declined to support compost maturity standards if it would increase the required holding time. The greatest amount of technological control of composting is seen in systems using an enclosed vessel and controlling its temperature, air flow, moisture and other parameters. See In-vessel composting (indoor composting).

Neptunus 2020
In writing this email, I am conscious of the fact that for most people there are currently more pressing concerns than the ups and downs of Sharjah Wanderers Diving Club. Those of you who are current members will be aware of the precautionary measures that the main club has put in place to avoid the spread of the coronavirus and I would ask you to respect these absolutely. The alternative would be a complete shutdown, something that cannot be completely ruled out if the authorities so decide.
For the time being we continue to dive but whether this is sustainable in the short to medium term remains to be seen. We are fortunate in that Diving Officer from the medical sector, we are better placed to make informed judgements. Nevertheless, we are always subject to government decrees, which could take the issue out of our hands, particularly with the situation changing on a daily basis.
Allen has written the following account of last week's dive:
Again, our beloved Land Rover needed some coaxing with sweet words and patience to start. When that didn't work there were other choice utterances and gnashing of teeth which seemed to work. Come back Mike, all is forgiven. We had a new diver along this weekend from Ireland. After buddy pairing, we headed for Taha.
Seas were kind and we made it in good time. A nice little wreck lying on its side. Due to it punching its way into the sand it makes it a little difficult to find on the sonar. But after quite a few passes with not much to see we dropped anchor, threw over the buoy and hoped the little GPS flag was spot on. Thankfully it was. A little crescent shaped ridge has developed around the wreck as a result of it setting into the seabed which combined with the slight current made for a nice little drift dive. The viz was good and there was lots of life to see including shoals of juvenile Barracuda, Groupers, Snappers and Arabian Spine Cheeks. A large Leopard
Stingray also put in an appearance for both dive groups.
We then headed to Neptune where the viz had improved even more to the point you could see most of the wreck on the descent. There was however a moderate current running by the time we entered the water. Again, there were shoals of Seabream, Trevallies and Barracuda. I did wonder at the wisdom of my dive buddy heading directly for the very large Sea Snake I had just pointed out. After a tap on his shoulder we took evasive action and left it alone. The wreck has opened up a little and there are a few nice penetration points and swim throughs which the other group 'squeezed through'.
All in all a terribly enjoyable day. In his own words, our new member from Ireland 'was glad to get his ears wet' again. I'm sure we'll see him on the boat again. We were met by Nick and his mother who was over from the UK to visit. They had just come back from Fujairah where they had been snorkeling. With the boat washed down and the gear drying on their hangers there was only one thing left to do really . . . .
A warm welcome to our new diver who was making his first dive with us. The first of many we hope.
Elsewhere, the saga of the "Dara" bell continues. It started with an enquiry from John Prescott of the British India Staff Group, concerning a bell for sale, purporting to be from the Dara. Last week I heard from John Lewis in Alaska:
"I can't say that I ever heard of the bell being recovered in my time with the club from 1974. It wasn't in the old Ajman club when we relocated so a bit of a mystery."
This week I got a further message from Gavin Halling in Canberra:
"I agree with John. During 1975 to 1979 the few items that we recovered were portholes. Certainly, if there was a bell, we would have dinged that.
One of the portholes and storm cover adorns our entry porch… (See below). The glass is not intact, but it does allow an appreciation of how thick it was.
See you there.

Q: Files Lost during move in cPanels File Manager I had a task that required me to move files from a subdomain to the public_html directory on my cPanel. To move them I simply selected the files and directories I wanted from the subdomain, clicked move and entered the destination path.
Once the move process had completed, only some of the files and folders were in the new location (public_html). The files that didn't move to the new location no longer seem to exist.
Has anyone encountered this problem before and is there any way to recover the lost files (they aren't in the trash)?
Thanks in advance!

A: Have you tried to connect to your server with other FTP client like FileZilla or something similar to see if the files are still missing. It seems like UI glitch. cPanel represents only an user interface and is not able to delete the files.

MOUNT PLEASANT - Midland High opened up its Saginaw Valley League hockey schedule with a 9-1 victory over host Mount Pleasant on Wednesday.
"The boys hustled really well," said Chemics' coach Jeff Brown. "Plus, we got on track a little bit."
The Chemics improve to 2-2 overall and host Macomb Dakota on Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Midland Civic Arena.
Ken Babinski and Jamie Sheppard each netted two goals for Midland, while Nate Scurfield, Daniel Freed, Caleb Digison, Nick Mammel and Wes LaCourt each added a goal. Garett Curtis and Mammel each chipped in two assists.
Daniel Livernois stopped 12 shots in goal for the Chemics.
GLADWIN - Muskegon Catholic Central scored the last four goals of the game to come from behind and defeat the host Mid Michigan Storm 8-5 in nonleague hockey Wednesday.
MCC took a 2-1 lead at the end of the first period. The Storm's first-period goal was netted by Taylor Rhodes with assists to Tyler Cameron and Mitch Coté.
With one second left in the second period, Coté scored to tie the score at 2-2 as Travis Greer and Derek Wyrembelski assisted.
The third period saw the Storm jump out to a 4-2 lead on goals by Coté and Greer. MCC responded to tie the game at 4-4 before Cameron netted a goal to put the Storm up 5-4.
MCC responded with four consecutive goals, including two empty-netters, for the victory.
Phil Rowley was in goal for the Storm (2-2), who head to Mount Pleasant on Saturday.


The recent 50th anniversary of the founding of the modern hospice movement by Dame Cicely Saunders made me think about my own journey in hospice, and how it began.
Back in 1977 I attended a lecture by Dr Elizabeth Kubler Ross., who had come to Orlando to talk about her groundbreaking work. I was tremendously inspired by what I heard, and determined to become a part of the hospice movement. In 1983 I got my chance, becoming Executive Director of a tiny hospital-based hospice in Gainesville, Florida.
Our office was a remodeled elevator shaft, a windowless space with walls that were 2 feet thick. When I started, we had three staff members (two of whom were part time), fifteen volunteers, and five patients. We didn't charge fees; it was a free service offered by our community hospital, Alachua General. It came about through a coalition of the communities, ministers, physicians, volunteers, hospital auxiliary ladies, and the CEO of the hospital who agreed to sponsor it. Our annual budget was $40,000. We created the rules as we went along.
We cared for people as if they were our family members. We were on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We stood with people who were dying and were their advocates. We trained physicians to be brave enough to order narcotics in large doses to manage people's pain. We developed the state association, Florida Hospices, Inc., through which we all shared policies and procedures and frameworks of how to provide loving hospice care.
I was the executive director for almost 16 years. By the time I left, we were caring for 270 patients a day across 11 counties in north central Florida. We had approximately 190 employees and 450 volunteers, and we had built an 18-bed hospice care center.
When I left, 18 years ago this past June 1st, it was to start The Watershed Group, a consulting business with a mission; to help hospice organizations to stay vital in their marketplace by focusing on Mission, Purpose, Margin and Vision. I have worked with executives all across the country to improve their hospice programs and create a culture of caring. And I have assisted in recruiting hospice leaders to positions of CEO, COO, VP, and more. What an honor it has been to support these organizations and individuals as they do this sacred work, and to help grow this movement!
I never forget that, even though I may be more than five degrees of separation from the patients, they are still who I work for, ever striving to improve the quality of life for people at the end of theirs.
The Hospice of North Central Florida team in the late 1980's!
None of us are exempt from loss, illness, or death – and when doctors find themselves on the other side of the patient/physician divide, this new perspective can be revelatory, sobering and, sometimes, inspiring.
"Sometimes it feels like the great unspoken secret between doctors and nurses. The words that we dare not utter to patients and families. Perhaps it is our hope that we're wrong. Perhaps we dread providing unwanted news. Perhaps we don't want to face reality or extinguish our patients' hope."
"In an extraordinary display of compassion, community caring and support, residents in a small Nebraska city recently banded together to fulfill a dying man's wish to see his daughter get married and his son graduate from high school — two surprise ceremonies organized all within the span of a few hours.
It was simply their way of returning a favor to Dr. Dan Harrahill. Friends and neighbors said the much-loved doctor would drop whatever he was doing to help others over the course of his 18-year career as a family practice physician at Howard County Medical Clinic in St. Paul."
HopeWest volunteers make treasures out of discards: Charmed by Heirlooms takes the unusable donations given to their resale shop Heirlooms by Hospice, gives them new life and sells them to benefit HopeWest, the Grand Valley's Palliative and Hospice care.
Community Hospice & Palliative Care celebrates kids and families:"Children and families from Community PedsCare enjoyed a morning of games and a visit from PGA Tour players recently at TPC Sawgrass, as the PGA Tour Wives Association, the Jim & Tabitha Furyk Foundation and THE PLAYERS Championship hosted them for the annual "These Kids Can Play" event.
This month I will be in Gainesville...GEORGIA which I find so funny, I leave Gainesville and arrive in Gainesville to work. Then I'll be in San Diego attending a week long training on executive coaching. Staying current on the most effective practices in the field.
Stay up late and enjoy the longest day of the year on June 21, Summer Solstice!

America's conservatives are as bad as Islamic terrorists, says fired FBI exec
Says federal government needs vast more powers to spy on them
Published January 10, 2022 at 12:54pm
Fired FBI executive Andrew McCabe says America's conservatives are as bad as Islamic terrorists and the federal government needs vastly increased powers to spy on them.
The stunning words from McCabe came during his recent speech at the University of Chicago, and were captured by a report in The Federalist about his comments on conservatives.
"I can tell you from my perspective of spending a lot of time focused on the radicalization of international terrorists and Islamic extremist and extremists of all stripes … is that this group shares many of the same characteristics of those groups that we've seen radicalized along entirely different ideological lines," he said.
The report explained, "McCabe was fired as the deputy FBI director for leaking sensitive information about an investigation into the Clinton Foundation and then lying about it under oath. He also took part in spying on the Donald Trump campaign through a secret warrant granted by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court."
Andrew McCabe (FBI.gov)
McCabe was talking about "democracy," but the report noted, "The dossier he used to obtain the surveillance warrant was funded by Hillary Clinton's campaign and, in an ironic twist, was itself the product of Russian disinformation. McCabe and his allies in corporate mediate justified all sorts of similar illegal and undemocratic tactics to discredit and attempt to unseat President Trump."
The report explained McCabe went to special effort to comment about conservatives, and to liken them "to members of the Islamic Caliphate."
"According to McCabe a grandma who shares a Federalist article on Facebook and your uncle with a 'Let's Go Brandon' coffee mug are in the same category as a jihadist who killed 49 people at an Orlando nightclub," the report noted.
Are Andrew McCabe and his ilk the the ones who need to be closely monitored?
McCabe specifically went after parents who appear at local school board meetings – often in disagreement with the policies and practices those elected officials are demanding the community follow.
"Political violence [is] not just confined to the Capitol," McCabe said. "It's going on in school boards around the country. It's going on in local elections. It's happening, you know, even to health-care workers."
Such issues, he explained, provide a "very diverse and challenging threat picture."
"If you haven't heard already, Democrats are branding parents who oppose child mask mandates and racist critical race theory indoctrination as 'domestic terrorists,'" the Federal report said.
"McCabe said moms and dads who stand up for their children's health and education at school board meetings in ways Democrats disagree with are very dangerous. So dangerous that it is actually 'essential' we have a 'rapid and complete response by law enforcement at the state, local and federal level to this sort of political violence…,'" the report explained.
He explained that federal agencies must express the message that such disagreement should be "considered a threat to national security [that is] not tolerated."
Obviously, then, he said, part of a solution is for more surveillance of those whose political opinions he doesn't like.
"I'm fairly confident the FBI [and other agencies] have reallocated resources and repositioned some of their counterterrorism focus to increase their focus on right-wing extremism and domestic violent extremists. And I think that's obviously a good idea," he said.
But he warned that watching out for "fringe" elements simply isn't enough.
"It's entirely possible that when the intelligence community and the law enforcement community looks out across this mainstream, they didn't assume [on January 6] that that group of people — business owners, white people from the suburbs, educated, employed — presented a threat of violence, and now we know very clearly that they do," he said.
He said federal power should be expanded to impose more penalties for "domestic terrorism" against "'extremists,' a.k.a. conservatives," the report said.
He said the government should have the authority to investigate "when folks are plotting or planning or organizing to use violence for the purpose of coercing the population or influencing government…"
"As McCabe said himself, to Democrats, the extreme right is the mainstream right," the report said.
The report found:
Ironically, one of McCabe's last remarks was a proclamation of equality under the law. "Whether you are a Trump supporter or a Biden supporter, right, left, or otherwise, we should all be able to agree on the principle that no one is above the law," stated McCabe.
"… [F]rom the lowliest trespasser on January 6, up to the highest-ranking government officials who may have been aware of a plan that would ultimately lead to violence in the Capitol––those people should be held accountable, period," he announced. "And if we can't do that, that is just another sign that we are becoming a non-functioning democracy."
Ironically, McCabe's firing for repeatedly breaking the law was expunged from the record only because he settled with a partisan Biden Department of Justice. If no one is above the law, as McCabe claims to support, then he would be in jail. Of course, McCabe is above the law. Only dissenting conservatives, in his view, deserve the suspicion and wrath of unelected federal agencies.

Foreign exchange reserves at record level, even in the Corona period
by Gracia Wales
Amid the Corona crisis, there have been persistent negative data on the country's economy. A respite has been reported in this tough time. In fact, India's foreign exchange reserves have grown by the record.
The latest Reserve Bank data shows that the country's foreign exchange reserves grew by $3.43 billion in the week ended May 29. With this increase, the foreign exchange reserves have reached a record level of $493.48 billion (Rs 37 lakh crore). RBI offers foreign exchange reserves data on a weekly basis. Is considered a symbol of the strength of the country's economy.
This increase means that there is no dearth of foreign exchange reserves for trading transactions in the exchequer. In fact, foreign exchange reserves are funds or other assets held by the central bank of any country to pay its liabilities if required. These reserves are placed in one or more currencies. Usually, reserves are kept in dollars or euros.
Why reserves increased even in corona crisis
The growth comes at a time when the country's economy is looking at a year's impact due to corona and lockdown. But the question is why this increase has happened even after the Corona crisis. Before understanding this, it is important to know that the international market has seen a steep fall in crude oil prices during May. In addition, the demand for fuel has also been low due to the lockdown.
This means that there is cheaper and less procurement of crude oil. Because of this, the government has to pay less dollars. Obviously, the low dollar payment has resulted in savings and an increase in foreign exchange reserves. The growth has been going on for the past few weeks, but this time the increase is at a record level.

Shorter College: Alfred Shorter, who moved to Rome from Eufaula, Alabama in 1837, constructed a white mansion in 1847, Thornwood, on what's now Shorter Avenue, and lots of occasions I admired it as I walked to high school. He was to become important to education in the space, when as a significant monetary donor, he participated in the formation of the Cherokee Baptist Feminine College, now often known as Shorter College. Shorter Faculty has normally somewhere round 1,000 students enrolled. Founded 1873.
Ten out of eleven kids diagnosed with Consideration Deficit Disorder are boys. This is the rationale given for recommending Ritalin for male children who act like real boys.

To quote former Kabataan Party-list consultant Raymond Palatino, with the absence of national industries and adequate jobs, many are pressured to work overseas. DepEd's plan to introduce vocational and technical programs in highschool, utilizing as argument the so-called proven fact that students no longer wish to end college, is basically an endorsement for these students unable to enter college to make do with the voc/tech training and grow to be for-export laborers" (Palatino, 2014).
