Slovakia has been part of the alliance for 15 years this April.
Earlier this month, 70 years passed since NATO was first founded. I'm glad that Slovakia was in Washington, along with its fellow member states, to commemorate this anniversary along with another landmark: our accession in 2004.
Fifteen years might not seem much compared to seven decades, but judging from what we hear about security, NATO and alliances these days, it appears like too much time has passed since then. We do need to repeat again and again what it was like back then, and what it is about today.
I also feel like I should have my say, also because I had the honour to lead the NATO accession talks on Slovakia's behalf.
Instead of embarking on a journey down history, I would like to share an episode that I often return to these days. It was in March 1999, when I took part in the ceremony in Brussels, where the flags of the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary were raised to indicate that our three neighbours had just become NATO members.
After the Czech national anthem was played, there was silence. For my generation, which had been used to hearing the Slovak anthem right after the Czech one from the times of the Czecho-Slovak Federation, this meant one thing: after 1989, Slovakia had missed its first chance to become a member of an alliance of democratic countries.
There we were, at a crossroads, excluded from central Europe integrating into Western structures, and it was our own fault. Perhaps some of us still remember how we were told, despite everything, that nothing really happened, because "if they don't want us in the West, we'll head East".
Fortunately, and again on our own merits, we got another chance and our flag was raised at NATO headquarters on April 2, 2004. It will forever remain my personal satisfaction that I was there, hearing our anthem, but also because Slovakia resisted the temptation to remain somewhere in between.
In our case, that "in between" would have meant a definite eastward direction, not so much in geographical terms. We would be subjected to different ways of governance than what we saw in our neighbouring countries.
Everything has been said about that time and the circumstances that reigned back then, and I admit that I have grown tired of having to repeat the indisputably valid arguments in favour of our NATO membership. I'm rather awestruck how, within a short span of 15 years, some people forget those circumstances, and how they succumb to other, alternative arguments that have gradually populated our political space. I cannot shake the impression that today we have reached a stage when it has become sensitive to praise NATO and our membership therein as a good thing for Slovakia. Quite often, the positive statements sound very formal, lacking conviction. We increasingly talk about commitments and duties than about decisions we have deliberately made. As if we were doing things for Brussels, for our allies, for Americans, rather than for ourselves. What is more, a banal statement about NATO being a good thing for Slovakia never lacks assurances that despite (!) that, we still want to have a good relationship with Russia.
There is no need for such assurances, because they sound like an apology, and place our NATO membership as an antithesis to our relations with other states. In this spirit, we learned from one presidential candidate during the recent election campaign that "we will not be dragged into a war against Russia for the sake of Ukraine and western interests". On other occasions, we hear serious debates about whether Crimea is Russian or Ukrainian, omitting what is substantial: that Russia flagrantly violated Ukraine's sovereignty. The "argumentation" that follows, that Russians only took back what was theirs for centuries, should then not come as a surprise.
When I read or hear such talk, it occurs to me that it is the Slovak defenders of "Russian" Crimea who are surely ready to defend the sovereignty of Slovakia next year, when in 2020 we mark 100 years since the Trianon Treaty and no doubt we will hear from some in Hungary about the wrongdoing that was done when Slovakia, for centuries part of the Hungarian state, was taken away.
When it comes to Ukraine, however, the bigger problem is that some people create the impression that with our attitude to Ukraine, our alliance with the US and the western countries, we are only unnecessarily provoking Russia.
Apparently, they are counting on the short memory of the people who might have forgotten what triggered the conflict in Ukraine: its citizens wanted to sign an EU association treaty. In other words, freely decide their own destiny. From Russia's perspective, they crossed red lines and had to pay for it by losing their sovereignty.
Today, there are attempts to formulate the problem differently: the problem is not what actually happened, the problem is the sanctions against Russia that, we are told, "do not solve anything". Sure, the sanctions did not force Russia to return Crimea to Ukraine. But if we let aggression pass without any response, it would be an invitation to change other borders as well.
There was no way to not apply sanctions in this case, unless we want to only idly watch how the fundamental principles Europe is built on are dismantled.
In this context, it should also be noted that Slovakia's own security strategy wasn't passed mainly because of what it says about Crimea: that the annexation was a violation of international law by Russia and as such is a security threat for Slovakia.
It really is a peculiar phenomenon: to reject such an important document because it offers an indisputable description of reality. There is only one possible piece of logic to explain this mystery – that it wasn't the real reason why the security strategy was rejected, and that the real problem some people have with it is that it is linked to other parts of the document. Such as those that clearly state where Slovakia belongs, who its allies are, and that those who reject them failed to understand that naming our interest is not an act of hostility toward any other state. The dispute about Russia and whether or not it is a threat, is based on the problem that we, in fact, are not leading a rational debate about Russia and its place in our foreign policy. Most often that debate is based on emotions that are linked with this country. That causes arguments to be turned upside down: as if our alliance with the US and our western allies was a problem, rather than the fact that Russia still cannot digest it.
I did not think back in 2004 that at the 15th anniversary of our NATO membership we would be engaged in this debate about our foreign policy. I also did not imagine, that an agreement with an ally about funds they want to invest into our military infrastructure with the approval of our ruling cabinet and parliament, would be described as a threat to our sovereignty.
Whatever some people might say about it, the fact is that not even a superpower like the US can force an agreement on us, even if it comes with 100 million dollars. They will spend the money elsewhere, in Hungary for instance, a country that does not seem to be negligent about its own sovereignty.
The fundamental question of our foreign and security policy is whether it is in Slovakia's interest to have another operational cooperation with the US than Hungary, our southern neighbour, has, and to again exclude ourselves from within the V4 on this issue.
Fifteen years after our accession, it turns out that being a NATO member and an ally of the US to some people means "yes, but only to some extent". Those who defend Slovak sovereignty do not seem to grasp that they are giving our allies a good reason to consider their security guarantees for us with the same "to some extent" logic. Is this in the interest of Slovakia?
As we mark our 15 years in NATO, we should give a serious and poignant answer to the noise concerning loss of sovereignty, which we are hearing more often not just in connection with NATO but also the EU.
There is no reason to go on the defensive. Our counter-questions should be: Where have we ever deployed Slovak troops without the clear approval of the sovereign national parliament? Who prevented us from withdrawing our troops from Iraq or from scrapping compulsory military service? How do NATO and EU limit our sovereignty and free will if Slovakia did not recognise Kosovo's independence and our allies respected it?
How did we lose our sovereignty in foreign policy when we made a different decision to most our allies, who expelled Russian diplomats over the Skripal case? Or when we, unlike most NATO and EU members, recently decided not to recognise Juan Guaido as a legitimate representative of Venezuela? And, make no mistake, this is not about the substance of the decision, which, obviously, is relevant, but it is about the fact that we have had nobody reproach us from the outside.
By the way, to refresh the memory of those who are so determined in their "less Brussels and more V4 talk" at home, I only note that on the latter two issues, Slovakia made its sovereign decision going against the unity of the V4.
We should also remember that NATO has not even forced us to meet our own promises, like our commitment to spend 2 percent of GDP on defence. Here, we also do not observe any loss of sovereignty, because Slovakia's defence budget will always depend only on Slovakia's own decision.
Another problem in communication is that one cannot feed people with NATO guarantees. They are not the roads, water infrastructure or smiles of satisfied citizens when a new school, built from EU funds, opens. NATO "only" brings security and defence.
It is hard to explain so that everyone can understand that security and defence are interconnected, but that there is a fundamental difference between them. Security is when you rarely see soldiers in your daily life. Defence is when you suddenly see soldiers too often, because they are not in their barracks, but deployed on the streets, and you are not having a coffee out with your friends, but you're sitting in an underground bunker.
We are not familiar with that kind of life, fortunately. But others, like our neighbours in Ukraine, would do anything not to have first-hand experience of what defence really means.
What will the next 15 years bring? It is hard to give a serious answer in today's world. Let us learn from the past 15 years, and from what we can clearly prove. Among other things, that Slovakia's sovereignty has in no way suffered from NATO membership. On the contrary, our defence and security is stronger, because even those who would be able to take care of their own defence, do share their sovereignty with us.
April 4 is a truly significant day for Slovakia. Of course, in our citizens' memories, it mostly resonates as the day when Bratislava was liberated by the troops of the Soviet Army. Our NATO membership has not changed anything about that either. It is up to us how to remember this day, our free and sovereign choice. And, even though it is not connected to any of this, I admit that it is a special day for me personally too – my birthday.

Q: We NEED ZEND .zfproject.xml for SOCIAL ENGINE Netbeans Developers Most of the Social Engine Developers use Netbeans. Netbeans doesn't treat any project as ZEND without the file .zfproject.xml. hence Netbeans doesn't provide important tools like ZEND command GUI tool.(even if it provides, it won't work).zfproject.xml is used by Zend_Tool to store information about created controllers, actions, etc. within project How can I have a .zfproject.xml file for NETBEANS which reflect the directory, file etc structures of social engine.
I found dat .zfproject.xml requires the following files to recognize any zend project. Where are these files in SOCIAL ENGINE context.-

*

*/configs/aplication.ini (configuration file)

*/controllers (controllerdirectory)

*/bootstrap.php (the first bootstrap file)

A: *

*SE4 doesnt have application.ini, just several php files in application/settings/

*controllers placed inside modules folder (e.g. application/modules/Core/controllers)

*application/modules/Core/Bootstrap.php

Try this manual, hope it help: Setup Netbeans for Zend Framework Development

A: Thanx for the reply. Yes I have already realized what u said but still we cant get the directory structure in socialengine to work as core zend application.The link u posted is all about setting netbeans for zend,which I did easily, but not for SOCIALENGINE.The .zfproject.xml created by Zend Tool is all about this.By default it maintains everything about zend, not socialengine.It also requires an application.ini, which socialengine doesnt have.Zend also starts from application/modules, whereas social engines starts from application/modules/mymodules.Only if we could reflect these changes into .zfproject.xml to match socialengine, that wud be it.

The United States Marine Corps and the government of Japan will conduct a ceremony to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima March 21.
The event will take place on Iwo To, formerly known as Iwo Jima, and will include U.S. and Japanese veterans and their families, dignitaries and leaders from both nations, distinguished guests and Marines and sailors from III Marine Expeditionary Force.
The Battle of Iwo Jima took place during February and March of 1945 in the midst of the Pacific campaign of World War II. Both the U.S. and Japan suffered great losses during this battle. The Iwo Jima commemoration is not only a time for reflection, but also an opportunity for the United States and Japan to honor the brave men who fought on this island 70 years ago. They truly represented the best of both nations.
Jan. 12 was a day which changed my life forever. I had the distinct honor of visiting the historic island of Iwo Jima.

The Thinking Woman's Writing Award, a new writing prize set up by British-Nigerian author Kate Jegede, was set up to increase the visibility of women writers in the UK writing non-fiction works with a philosophical or critical thinking theme.
The call for submissions was met with a wide range of interesting and impressive submissions from women across the UK. Following judging, Anna Foley Simmons' Change: How to Make Your Life Different was selected as the first winner of the award.
Anna Foley Simmons will receive a free manuscript assessment from The Literary Consultancy, the UK's leading editorial assessment consultancy, a year-long membership to the RSA Fellowship scheme, and the chance to meet and discuss publishing prospects with LAW Agency. The partners all agreed that Anna's proposal was an 'exciting and fresh interpretation of the brief'. We at TLC are delighted to work with Anna on her writing, and look forward to what the future brings.
Following the publication of her book Infinite Possibility (Penguin Random House, 2018), Kate felt inspired to help other women writers of Philosophy bring their work to the attention of the literary world. In deciding on what to offer and to whom, she made the decision to partner with TLC, an organisation which Kate says provided her with some much-needed support and life-changing advice at a critical point in her writing career.
Philosophy is woefully underrepresenting women. References to the greatest female philosophers of all time often include a dozen or so names of women who are now dead and none who are making notable contemporary contributions to the world or making strides in business or other fields of industry. For Kate, present-day philosophers are 'thinkers'. She says, "I am impassioned by the discovery, through the Thinking Woman's Writing Award, of contemporary voices that can help shape the modern world and steer in the direction of a vibrant future that serves everyone.
Anna Foley Simmons is a British writer originally from Northern Ireland. She has a BA in Creative Writing from the university of Warwick and lives in Bristol as property guardian of an abandoned school classroom. She works a few days a week at a local hospital.
Kate Jegede is a British television presenter and author with a background in science. She has been published in the internationally acclaimed science journal, Nature. Kate has also presented two science series aimed at young adults for Channel 4 in the UK, earning a BAFTA nomination. She lives in London and has homes in North Carolina and Lagos in Nigeria.

Promotion-chasing Leeds United have suffered an injury blow.
Top scorer Kemar Roofe is facing time out due to a knee problem.
The forward was injured in last week's 2-1 victory over Swansea City and scans have revealed ligament damage.
Leeds have not put a timescale on the player's likely return date but the club stressed he had a chance of featuring in the Championship run-in.
Roofe has scored 14 goals this season, and three of them came against Derby County .
He scored twice in Leeds' 4-1 win at Pride Park Stadium in August and one in their 2-0 defeat of Derby at Elland Road last month.
In a statement, Leeds said: "Leeds United forward Kemar Roofe will face a period on the sidelines following confirmation that he damaged knee ligaments during the win over Swansea City at Elland Road.
Leeds are third in the Championship and have 14 games left to play.
They are on 61 points, the same tally as second-placed Sheffield United.

Candlestick Charting - Why is it Different?
Would you like to learn about a type of commodity trading chart that is more effective than the charts you are probably using now? If so, keep reading. If you are brand new to the art/science of chart reading, don't worry, we are going to discuss candlestick charting. This stuff is powerful, but it is really quite simple to learn and the results can be impressive!
Stock technical analysis is simply the study of companies and their stock prices as reflected on price charts. Whether these charts employ candlestick charting or are simple bar charts, technical analysis assumes that current prices should represent all known information about the markets. Prices not only reflect facts, they also represent human emotion and the psychology and mood of the moment. Prices are, in the end, a function of supply and demand. However, on a moment to moment basis, human emotions…greed and fear, panic, hysteria, elation, etc. also dramatically affect prices. Markets may move based upon people's expectations, not necessarily facts. A market "technician" attempts to disregard the emotional component of trading by making his decisions based upon chart formations, assuming that prices reflect both facts and emotion. Charts, even those using only the basics of Japanese Candlestick charting, help the successful investor to compile data into a useful format.
Both standard bar charting and basic candlestick charting are commonly used to convey price activity into an easily readable chart. Usually four elements make up a bar chart, the Open, High, Low, and Close for the trading session/time period. A price bar can represent any time frame, as shown with the horizontal element of the bar. The total vertical length/height of the bar represents the entire trading range for the desired period. The top of the bar represents the highest price of the period, and the bottom of the bar represents the lowest price of the period. The Open is represented by a small dash to the left of the bar, and the Close for the session is a small dash to the right of the bar. At this point, you might be asking yourself why you need to know candlestick chart analysis if you understand a bar chart. Having said that, let's look at the stock investing basics of Japanese Candlesticks now.
The answer to the question above may not yet seem obvious, but the results are. Basically, candlestick charts are much more visually appealing and informative than a standard two-dimensional bar chart. As with a standard bar chart, candlestick chart patterns have the basics as well; OPEN, HIGH, LOW and CLOSING price for a given time period are included. The body of the candlestick is called the "Real Body" and it represents the range between the open and closing prices. A black, or filled-in, body represents that the commodity or stock closed lower than its open, or in a bearish condition. When the body is open or white, the commodity or stock closed higher than its open, indicating a typically bullish condition. A thin, vertical line that may be found above and/or below the real body is known as the Upper or Lower Shadow, and its presence represents the high or low price extremes for the trading period. Now that you have the basics of the candlestick charting, let's compare them to bar charts.
Lacking the Shadows of a basic candlestick chart, a bar chart cannot reflect the difference between a price extreme and a high or low. For example, a stock that opened high, but traded low for the day would not be accurately depicted in a bar chart. In a basic Candlestick chart, however, the Upper Shadow would show the extreme of the opening price as well as the trading range for the day. In this example, the basic candlestick chart formation more accurately represents the trading of the day. In addition, since the stock closed lower than the open, the Real Body would be black; indicating that the day's trading was bearish. A typical bar chart is simply unable to provide this level of information. And remember, these are just the basics of a candlestick chart!
In conclusion, even the most basic of candlestick charting methods provides its user with a valuable technical analysis tool. When used with a productive stock investing system, you can successfully analyze stocks and their trends before you invest. Why use a limited bar chart when you can have the power of candlestick charting? Your bottom line will know the difference!

This past weekend, I was looking for ways to spend the new bonus that I got at my job, and jokingly my friend recommended that I pamper my tortoise.
Yes, it's true that I talk about my tortoise a bit too much around my friends (isn't it weird if I didn't?
I consider my tortoise to be one of my greatest friends.. anyway..) and it's reasonable that they suggest this.
I initially took it as a joke, since I have purchased my tortoise everything that he needs, but I quickly realized that I am only able to pamper my tortoise while we are both awake.
Obviously I didn't want to sleep with my tortoise and risk him being squashed (I toss and turn more than I am willing to admit!) so I bought him a Casper mattress.
OK. Maybe I didn't buy him a Casper mattress, but I definitely thought about it. After seeing the ads on the subway station on my route back home from work, the idea did register in my mind, and while I initially dismissed it, I became curious and decided to read online reviews of the Casper mattress waiting for my next stop on the train.

Good clinic for hair transplantation. I am happy with the results and services given to me during my stay in Turkey. Translator was supportive and a hotel was nice.
Good hospital with affordable prices. In patient department is comfortable. Hospital is not so big but everything is available under one roof here. Additional plus for me – this is university hospital.
We consulted here for my nephew suffering from blood cancer leukemia. Received necessary information but cost was too high for us so we decided to travel back home. Clinic has nice infrastructure.
Doctors are well trained as they told me exactly the shape necessary for my body type. I am glad that I did my breast enlargement procedure here.
Our grandmother was operated here for the cervical cancer 2 years ago. We were provide good quality service although the cost was high compare to our local private hospitals which is understandable.
Quality experience here, absolutely no complaints. Good prices. Definitely would recommend this clinic.
Did investigations for my daughter in hematology department.It was a good experience as we were guided all the way through.Doctors were available on time and advised us properly.We are glad that we chose this clinic and mediglobus.
Performed a laser correction in the clinic Bati Goz Istanbul. Very pleased with the doctor and especially the results! Special thanks to the Mediglobus Team for their help in selection of clinic.
Where to live during treatment?
Almost always, the diagnosis takes place on an outpatient basis(without hospitalization of the patient), with the exception of the patient's severe condition or a short hospitalization in case a sedative drug is used for examinations. The treatment takes place on the basis of a hospital (in cases of surgical interventions or emergency care) and with hourly hospitalization (for example, in cases of radiation or chemotherapy). The patient and the accompanying person have a huge selection of accommodation options with 3, 4, 5 stars hotels, guest houses from medical centers or rental apartments. The patient can book accommodation independently himself, taking into account personal requirements for comfort and financial backup or with certain packages by hospital itself. The hospital can offer options within walking distance to the medical center at discounted prices due to the special contracts with hotel and property owners for patient's accommodation.
Can I ask for discount on treatment in Turkey?
The issue of discounts can be discussed directly upon arrival at the hospital and passing diagnostics. At this point, the doctors finally approve the tactics of treatment for a particular patient. Hospitals often discuss cost decrease with their patients on medical services or but you need to understand that this is not regularly practiced and the chances of a discount is provided solely for internal reasons of the leadership of a particular medical center. Additionally, in Turkey there are often promotional medical diagnostic programs or comprehensive package of medical services (for example, hair transplant packages, IVF, plastic surgery and aesthetic procedures at reduced prices or even with accommodation included).
What language do doctors speak in Turkey?
In Turkey, the language of communication is Turkish. All medical documentation and dialogues are conducted mainly in Turkish. However, many doctors tend to speak one or more foreign languages. Doctors undergo training and internships at medical centers in U.S and Europe, and, as a result, speak English, and in some cases German, as well. In addition, doctors in Turkey may speak other foreign languages, which may be related to their origin, for example, Arabic or Azerbaijani. All patients are provided absolutely free of charge with the services of qualified translators, which makes communication between the patient and the doctor simple and as clear as possible. The most commonly available translators are from Turkish to English, Arabic, Russian, Bulgarian, Georgian. Some major medical centers have the ability to translate into Farsi, Uzbek, Macedonian, Serbian, Albanian.
Do I need to pay deposit before treatment in a clinic in Turkey?
Patients are issued a medical program with price details for treatment and diagnostics. In most cases, Turkish hospitals do not require advance payment for medical services by issuing deposit accounts. Payment is made before the start of diagnosis or treatment upon arrival in the hospital. At the request of the patient, the financial department of the hospital can provide an invoice for remote payment of medical services if the patient is more comfortable to pay for the services of the clinic by bank or card transfer. Nevertheless, the hospital reserves the right to issue a deposit account to the patient, most often this applies to states with an increased percentage of migration to Turkey, as well as in the case of complex medical cases with a patient's serious condition and high risks.

Common SNPs(144) Track Settings
Simple Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP 144) Found in >= 1% of Samples ( All Variation tracks)
Single Nucleotide Polymorphism In/Del Microsatellite Named
Mnp Insertion Deletion
Unknown Genomic cDNA
This track contains information about a subset of the single nucleotide polymorphisms and small insertions and deletions (indels) — collectively Simple Nucleotide Polymorphisms — from dbSNP build 144, available from ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/snp. Only SNPs that have a minor allele frequency of at least 1% and are mapped to a single location in the reference genome assembly are included in this subset. Frequency data are not available for all SNPs, so this subset is incomplete.
The selection of SNPs with a minor allele frequency of 1% or greater is an attempt to identify variants that appear to be reasonably common in the general population. Taken as a set, common variants should be less likely to be associated with severe genetic diseases due to the effects of natural selection, following the view that deleterious variants are not likely to become common in the population. However, the significance of any particular variant should be interpreted only by a trained medical geneticist using all available information.
In the Coloring Options section of the track controls page, function terms are grouped into several categories, shown here with default colors:
Weight: Alignment quality assigned by dbSNP
Weight can be 0, 1, 2, 3 or 10.
Weight = 1 are the highest quality alignments.
Weight = 0 and weight = 10 are excluded from the data set.
A filter on maximum weight value is supported, which defaults to 1 on all tracks except the Mult. SNPs track, which defaults to 3.
Non-repetitive genomic sequence is shown in upper case like the flanking sequence, and a "|" indicates each match between genomic and flanking bases. Repetitive genomic sequence (annotated by RepeatMasker and/or the Tandem Repeats Finder with period <= 12) is shown in lower case, and matching bases are indicated by a "+".
The data that comprise this track were extracted from database dump files and headers of fasta files downloaded from NCBI. The database dump files were downloaded from ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/organisms/human_9606_b144_GRCh37p13/database/organism_data/ for hg19 and from ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/organisms/human_9606_b144_GRCh38p2/database/organism_data/ for hg38. The fasta files were downloaded from ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/organisms/human_9606_b144_GRCh37p13/rs_fasta/ for hg19 and from ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/organisms/human_9606_b144_GRCh38p2/rs_fasta/ for hg38.

This week, Google sent out an email that caused a stir among SEMs with clients whose accounts contain at least one GDN campaign. The gist? The long-running workaround for excluding mobile apps en masse—adding adsenseformobileapps.com as a placement exclusion—is being killed off in September.
Like I said, visceral responses abound.
Some see Google's outreach email, particularly the statement, "you may see a significant increase in mobile apps or mobile web traffic," as laying the foundation for a cash grab.
Here's everything you need to know about why this is happening.
Per Google, "In September 2018, the adsenseformobileapps.com exclusion and the GMob mobile app non-interstitial exclusion will no longer be available within Google Ads." Other content exclusions (Embedded videos, In-video, Below-the-fold, etc.) will continue to work just fine, and the GDN will still have functionality to opt in/out of devices without the use of a -100% bid adjustment like we'd have in a search campaign.
Why is Google eliminating a tried-and-true workaround?
This change will make it easier to serve ads to the ever-growing subset of humanity spending their web browsing hours on mobile devices. And, yes, it could mean more bad clicks in your Display campaigns.
In reality, many advertisers didn't know about the adsenseformobileapps.com placement and have undoubtedly spent a ton of advertising dollars serving Display creative to fat-thumbing app-users. And even those of us who do know about managing and excluding mediocre (or junk) placements inevitably spend dollars on ones that don't convert; it's an inherent risk of advertising in spaces where search intent doesn't rule the roost, and it's why the clicks are so darn cheap.
Newsflash: managing placements—that is, excluding based on performance and other, squishy factors like brand alignment or, say, general morality—is extremely important. It's akin to adding negative keywords to your search campaigns (and we all do that, right?). Is this change a minor annoyance? Sure, for some. But in a channel with millions of websites and hundreds of thousands of apps, diligence, good creative, and thoughtful audience creation—not a single placement—are the keys to success, and the death of adsenceformobileapps.com isn't going to change that!
It's just going to make it a lot more difficult to eliminate riffraff.
With that, here's how you can exclude all mobile apps in Google Ads (for the next 30 days or so at least).
This is a two-step process, the first of which is pretttttty obvious.
This will open a menu that breaks devices into three subsets: computers, mobile, and tablet.
If you only want to serve your ads on the mobile web, uncheck "mobile app" and "mobile app interstitial." Ditto for tablet.
This change, which I initially read as "great, Google's killing off an exclusion that should never have been necessary," looks to be the exact opposite and could, in fact, make mobile apps more difficult to avoid [insert my very own LinkedIn ragepost here]. We'll update once we have more clarification from Google.

The initial estimate of those hit in Zimbabwe was 15,000 but WFP says that the numbers had surged following an overnight assessment.
The situation in Zimbabwe's eastern district of Chimanimani on the Mozambique border "is very bad," WFP spokesman Herve Verhoosel said.
"Some 90 percent of the district has been significantly damaged," he added.
Around 15,000 people in Mozambique, many of them very ill, still need to be rescued.

The Most Decorated Enlisted Sailor in Navy History
In the history of the United States Navy, only seven men have earned all of the big three valor awards: Medal of Honor, Navy Cross, and Silver Star. Six were World War II officers, including one aviator. The seventh was James Elliott "Willy" Williams – considered the most decorated enlisted man in the history of the Navy.
Biography of James Williams
Williams, a Cherokee Indian, was born November 13, 1930, in Fort Mill, South Carolina. Two months later he moved with his parents to Darlington, South Carolina where he spent his early childhood and youth. He attended the local schools and graduated from St. John's High School.
In August 1947, at the age of 16, Williams enlisted in the United States Navy with a fraudulent birth certificate. He completed basic training at Naval Training Center San Diego. He served for almost twenty years, retiring on April 26, 1967, as a Boatswain's Mate First Class (BM1). During those years, he served in both the Korean War and Vietnam War.
During the Korean War, was stationed aboard the Destroyer USS Douglas H Fox (DD-779) from November 1950 to June 1952. He was detached off the Destroyer and operated off the coast of Korea by taking raiding parties into North Korea on small boats. From 1953 to 1965 he served tours on a variety of naval vessels.
Williams Volunteered for Combat Duty in Vietnam.
In 1966, with only a year before he was to retire from the Navy, the burly man, 5-foot-8 and 210 pounds Williams volunteered for combat duty in Vietnam.
Williams arrived in Vietnam in April 1966 as a BM1. He was assigned in May to the River Patrol Force, River Squadron Five, in command of River Patrol Boat 105 (PBR-105). The force's mission was to intercept Viet Cong and North Vietnamese arms shipments, supplies, and personnel on the waterways of South Vietnam's swampy Mekong Delta and to keep innocent boat traffic on the river and canals safe.
On July 1, 1966, Williams led a patrol that came under fire from the Vietcong sampan. His deft maneuvers and accurate fire killed five VC and resulted in the capture of the enemy boat, earning Williams a Bronze Star Medal with a V for Valor. Twenty-two days later his crew captured another sampan, earning Williams a second Bronze Star Medal for Valor. Less than a month later, he received his Silver Star and the first of three Purple Hearts he would eventually receive.
On the night of October 31, 1966, Williams was commanding PBR 105 alongside another PBR searching for Viet Cong guerrillas operating in an isolated area of the Mekong Delta. Suddenly, Viet Cong manning two sampans opened fire on the Americans. While Williams and his men neutralized one sampan, the other one escaped into a nearby canal. The PBRs gave chase and soon found themselves in a beehive of enemy activity as the VC opened fire on them with rocket-propelled grenades and small arms from fortified river bank positions.
Williams, who knew the area well from months of patrols, directed his two boats in a high-speed detour to a spot he knew the fleeing sampan would eventually emerge. Both threaded an alternative channel too narrow for the boats to reverse course. At nearly 35 knots they roared up the twisting passage, the heavily jungled bank passing in a green blur. Then as they rounded a bend to an area of more open water, to the surprise of all aboard, they stumbled into a major staging area for the North Vietnamese Army. Thirty to forty sampans were crossing the channel, each loaded to the gunwales with NVA troops and supplies. The enemy was equally surprised and sprang to their guns. Along the shore, the familiar "thonk" of mortars could be heard. Williams had no choice but to gun his engines straight at the enemy! Tracers streaked across the water. Williams ran his boat directly at several sampans, splitting them in half under the sharp bow of his rocketing speedboat. The PBR's twisted and jinked blazed their weapons and spilled hundreds of dead and dying NVA troops into the water. The speed and maneuverability of the Americans kept them ahead of the enemy return fire. They blasted through the enemy formation and back into the narrow channel beyond.
Momentarily safe, the PBR's sped onward. Williams called in heavily armed UH-1B Huey helicopters from the Navy Helicopter Attack (Light) Squadron 3 "Seawolves" for air support, but as his speedboats rounded another bend they found themselves smack in the middle of a second staging area as big as the first. Again, the narrow channel determined their fate, and both PBR's sped boldly at the enemy. For a second time, their machine guns blazed and splinters flew from enemy sampans and NVA soldiers spilled into the water. And for a second time, the two American gunboats sliced through the enemy, blasting and ramming as they went. Secondary explosions from several of the larger junks confirmed Williams' suspicion that they were ammunition and supply vessels.
Despite three hours of intense combat, Williams' crew received only two casualties–one gunner was shot through the wrist, and Williams himself was wounded by shrapnel. For his conspicuous bravery above and beyond the call of duty he was put in for the Medal of Honor – which he received from President Lyndon B. Johnson on May 14, 1968, during the dedication ceremony of the Pentagon's "Hall of Heroes."
On January 9, 1967, the Navy dredge Jamaica Bay was blown up by mines and PVR-105 arrived to pick up seven of the survivor. Another man was wrapped in the rapidly sinking dredge. Williams dove into the water and, with a rope attached to a nearby tree, pulled clear and obstruction, then swim through a hatch to recover the Sailor. For this, he was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal.
Williams Was Awarded The Navy Cross And His Third Purple Heart
Six days later Williams was wounded while leading a three-boat patrol that interdicted a crossing attempt by three VC heavy weapons companies and 400 fighters. He and his boat accounted for 16 VC killed, 20 wounded in the destruction of nine sampans and junks. Williams was awarded the Navy Cross and his third Purple Heart.
Williams transferred to the Fleet Reserve in April 1967 and returned to his native South Carolina with a list of awards unmatched by any enlisted man in Navy history. His awards included the Medal of Honor, the Navy Cross, two Silver Stars and the Legion of Merit, three Bronze Stars, and the Navy Commendation Medal. He also received three Purple Hearts and was twice awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for rescue operations under fire.
He retired after 20 years of service and was appointed in 1969 by President Richard M. Nixon as United States Marshal, serving more than a decade in the Marshals Service. His initial assignment was U.S. Marshal for the District of South Carolina where he served until May 1977. He then transferred to Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Georgia as an instructor and National Armorer. He was called back to South Carolina in July 1979 to resume his appointment as U.S. Marshal and functioned in that position until April 1980. His next assignment was with the U.S. Marshal service Headquarters, Washington, D.C. as Program Manager, Health and Safety and In-District Training Officer where he performed his assigned duties until his retirement from the U.S. Marshal Service.
In the fall of 1999, he was in Florence, South Carolina where he suffered a heart attack and died on the Navy's birthday, October 13th. He was buried with full military honors at the Florence National Cemetery in Florence, South Carolina. The procession of dignitaries at his funeral included seven Medal of Honor recipients and state and national legislators.
In addition to his wife Elaine, he was survived by three sons, James Jr., of Darlington, S.C.; Steven, of Dorchester, S.C., and Charles, of Charlotte, N.C.; two daughters, Debbie Clark of Palm Coast and Gail Patterson of Florence, and seven grandchildren.
Navy Guided Missile Destroyer USS James E. Williams (DDG-95) was named and christened in his honor on June 28, 2003, at Pascagoula, Mississippi. His widow Elaine was present at the ceremony.

This is the first time I've ever heard of James E. Williams. It's always the argument between services about Lewis Burwell "Chesty" Puller (USMC) and Audie Murphy (USA). Few ever realize that Robert Howard (USA) was the most decorated serviceman ever. The accounts of James E. Williams are pure selfless acts of heroism that I have never heard of. The U.S. Navy should teach the name of James E. Williams, and others like him, as part of the boot camp experience.

Another American hero.
Great story of heroism.

One more of God's chosen Heros of Heros! All who fight for you and for me give some. Some who fight for you and for me Give All!
GREAT EXAMPLE OF AMERICAN SERVICEMEN!

Reading about the love of country Mr. Williams exhibited literally took my breath away. I pray that his spirit continues to watch over us all. Let us hope and pray our "leaders" exhibit a particle of the heroism this man of valor expressed. God bless him, his family and his tribal nation.

Why 2014 Was a Breakout Year for Experimental Music in Denver
Tom Murphy

Although experimental music has been a part of the Denver scene for decades and the bands who perform it have enjoyed some critical acclaim, those artists are still largely unknown in this town. But 2014 was a breakout year for the city's experimental-music scene, with a few key tours, label signings and big-name fans suggesting that the musicians making the most adventurous sounds around may not be on the fringes for long.

Itchy-O, which is experimental in both its costumed presentation and its music, signed with Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles label for the release of its debut album, Burn the Navigator. That helped broaden the marching band's fan base in Denver and elsewhere.
But Itchy-O wasn't the only experimental band to experience new levels of success this year. Over the summer, Violent Femmes frontman Gordon Gano, who now lives in Colorado, found out about an avant-garde open-mike night at Strange Grounds held by members of the ANIMAL/object ambient-jazz outfit. Gano was so impressed that he started playing with the group at certain shows.

This was also a good year for Denver experimental bands outside of the city. Acts like industrial/noise/ambient band Echo Beds went on successful tours and, in that band's case, played to packed crowds throughout the Midwest.
This is not to say that there weren't any success stories in the local experimental scene prior to this year. Bands in that genre have been supported by a series of events, including the Denver Noise Fest, Noise Floor, Textures, the Goldrush Festival and, in past years, Titwrench. Itchy-O has certainly toured before. And John Gross of Page 27, who now helms the Denver Noise Fest, has been instrumental in cultivating a noise scene on the national level and raising Denver's profile in the world of experimental music. Still, various cultural circles have recently aligned themselves with that world, which then found itself mixing with visual art, academia and other kinds of music. This year, it seemed not just possible but somewhat inevitable that the avant-garde would enter into more mainstream music circles. Again and again, experimental music appeared in unlikely settings.
In October, for example, Victoria Lundy, who plays theremin in the Inactivists, performed a Concrete Mixer event with Mark Mosher, Rick Reid and her husband, Thomas Lundy, at the Newman Center at the University of Denver. Students and others in the audience were exposed to a variety of experimental music that day. Naropa University in Boulder has had a long relationship with the genre and occasionally hosts musical performances on campus. The University of Colorado at Boulder has often partnered with the Communikey Festival, and both the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver have hosted musical performances alongside art exhibitions.
When ANIMAL/object performed with the Violent Femmes at Riot Fest in September, it certainly seemed like a moment to remember. If one of the most avant-garde bands in the city can perform alongside a beloved (and massively popular) rock band, then experimental bands of all kinds have a shot at much wider audiences. A movement that has been building for years hit a critical mass in 2014, and the future appears to hold great promise for Denver's most musically adventurous bands.
