Endo just might be a great investment at the current price.
Drug stocks that get beaten down over competitive threats or other concerns that turn out to be overly exaggerated often make for great investments. After having fallen over 13% back in October on concerns that its lead product might face generic competition sooner than expected, Endo Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ENDP) fits this mold exactly.
The cause of last year's calamity with shares of Endo were worries that its top drug, the pain patch Lidoderm, could face generic competition sooner than 2015, when the last of the patents covering the drug expire. Without Lidoderm, Endo's top and bottom lines would be in major trouble, as the drug accounts for over 60% of revenues and is still experiencing rapid sales growth.
The concern over generic competition against Lidoderm arriving any time soon is way overblown, however. Endo has five patents on the patch, and the earliest patents don't expire until 2009. Furthermore, even if another drug company files an application to market a generic version of Lidoderm, Endo will be able to delay the FDA from approving the marketing application for up to 30 months as it defends its patents in court. Endo has also made arguments to the FDA's generic drug division that any future generic versions of the drug need to be tested more thoroughly than regular drugs since the active ingredients are delivered with a patch. This all means that any generic competition is years away, coming no earlier than late 2009.
Last week Endo gave financial guidance for 2007. Initially, its expected year-over-year revenue and earnings growth of roughly 15% and 10%, respectively, looks quite unappetizing. But these comparisons are hurt by Endo's agreement to stop selling its generic version of Purdue Pharmaceuticals' OxyContin at the end of 2006 as part of a patent dispute settlement.
Leaving out generic OxyContin sales from 2006 makes comparisons between the years look much more respectable, with sales and earnings expected to both be up at least 20% in 2007 versus 2006. Normally I don't like stripping out earnings streams with generic drug companies, but in the first three quarters of 2006 Endo's generic business accounted for only 15% of sales. Thankfully its generic sales are becoming a much smaller portion of overall revenues, since the consolidation that occurred in the generics industry last year means Endo is facing competitors like Barr (NYSE:BRL) and Teva Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:TEVA) with many more resources to put into fighting for the sought after first-to-file generic exclusivity periods on drug going off patent.
Besides Lidoderm, there is still plenty of other opportunity for top-line growth. Late last year, Endo launched the pain drug Opana, and it's already expected to account for nearly 10% of revenues (almost $100 million) in barely a year on the market. Endo is also making progress on its moderately sized drug pipeline and has two more pain treatments in phase 3 trials. The nice thing about these drugs is that investors won't have to wait years for any FDA verdicts on them, since Endo expects to file new drug applications for both in the first half of 2008.
Shares of Endo aren't exactly expensive right now, trading at only 17 times its expected 2007 adjusted $1.68-$1.72 in earnings per share. Another goodie is that Endo has almost $700 million in cash and investments sitting on its balance sheet (about 18% of its market cap), so investors need not fear any excessive share dilution from financings that so commonly occur with drug stocks.
Well-run companies like Endo, whose shares have fallen due to a wall of worry that might never materialize, often rebound dramatically as investors regain confidence in the stock and slowly discount the competitive threat over time. This doesn't necessarily mean that the generic threat that Endo is facing with Lidoderm will turn out to be untrue, but rather that the market has been overreacting to a threat that is still years away at the earliest.
I'm not the only one that thinks Endo might make a fine investment for 2007. In our Motley Fool CAPS database, Endo has been picked by 48 other players to outperform the market compared to only five underperform calls. Whether or not you agree that Endo will be the best drug stock for 2007, come on over to CAPS and rate it yourself. CAPS is free and you just might pick up an investing idea or two.

A college is what a school turns into when the school loses interest in college students. Our Greater Education System has evolved over the many years, affected by multiple catalysts from racism, faith and warfare to the economic system and sadly political ideology. I have realized silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; but, strange, I'm ungrateful to those lecturers. From Aristotle to APJ Abdul Kalam, each well-known character has again and again careworn on the importance of education in our lives. To present a number of random examples, the Chair of Education Otherwise is a really devout lady who is intently concerned along with her local Congregational chapel and Mike Fortune-Wood of HE-UK was until lately married to an Anglican priest.
Plato is the primary author who distinctly says that education is to understand the entire of life, and to be a preparation for another during which education begins once more… He has long given up the notion that advantage can't be taught; and he's disposed to switch the thesis of the Protagoras , that the virtues are one and never many.
In the Republic he is evidently impressed with the conviction that vice arises mainly from ignorance and could also be cured by education; the multitude are hardly to be deemed accountable for what they do… he only proposes to elicit from the mind that which is there already.
Though your quotes have been random and subjective, they still appeared nicely tied together to me, bravo. Little doubt such a system of education will entail, at any rate for a century or two, certain crudities which is able to militate agains the development of the person. Education…has produced an enormous inhabitants in a position to learn but unable to distinguish what is price studying.
These quotes are amazing and im positive that when a trainer reads there they really feel so a lot better. I have also mentioned that I believed that God has given us a duty to direct our children's upbringing and education. Thirty years ago it appeared proper that there be no stigma in education and that everyone ought to get the same start in life, however there are problems in mixing everyone together. This is why faculty education is very important after highschool and must not be taken for granted. These quotes are great and the e book hyperlinks would make nice gifts for somebody's favourite trainer previous or present. I have been on the lookout for nice quotes applicable for my classroom, and that is large!

Not always wild about new builds, but this three-bedroom contemporary terraced property in London N5 as caught our eye.
Externally at least, it has a very distinctive design, a bit '30s meet '60s, with some touches from the modern era thrown in too. Modernism for the 21st century if you like.
Inside, it's perhaps a different story. We can only go on what we see from the agent's images, but it looks more new build by numbers inside, although it's certainly a high end build and one designed as a live/work space.
Not sure what that means in practice, but presumably there's some specified office-style area within (a study is marked on the floorplans as part of the ground floor space), as well as all the tech you need to get up and running. Indeed, the agent doesn't give a lot of detail on the build, but the list of technology and branded goods within is huge. Suffice to say, those home work essentials of broadband and a wireless music system are already installed.
As for the rest of the space, you get an open plan living/kitchen, a terrace a master bedroom with en-suite, three further rooms, a shower room and utility space (plus the previously-mentioned work area).
Check out the agent's site for all that detail about the finishes, appliances and finishing touches. Different configurations available on the same terrace, but you'll be looking at just over £1,000,000 as a starting price.

Brigádní generál František Moravec (23. července 1895 Čáslav – 26. července 1966 Washington D.C.) byl československý legionář, důstojník Československé armády a přednosta druhého oddělení Hlavního štábu (vojenská zpravodajská služba).

Život

Mládí a studia
František Moravec se narodil 23. července 1895 v Čáslavi jako nejstarší z deseti dětí v rodině úředního zřízence okresního hejtmanství. Ve čtvrté třídě obecné školy přestoupil na gymnázium, kde v roce 1913 jako osmnáctiletý s vyznamenáním maturoval. Poté začal studovat na Filozofické fakultě Univerzity Karlovy moderní filologii (latina, francouzština). V roce 1915 musel ale studia ukončit, neboť byl odveden. Nejprve sloužil v Čáslavi, poté v Jablonci nad Nisou. Absolvoval důstojnickou školu záložních důstojníků a poté odešel s 12. pěším plukem do Kaniže v Maďarsku a odtud do Haliče jako podporučík a velitel pěší čety.

První světová válka
Prvních bojů na frontě se zúčastnil na východní frontě u Krakova a Lembergu a také u Rava-Ruska. 13. ledna 1916 přešel v Polsku s celou hlídkou do ruského zajetí. Zde byl až do konce února 1916 umístěn v důstojnickém zajateckém táboře v Caricynu (pozdější Stalingrad).

V květnu 1916 vstoupil jako dobrovolník do Srbské legie, v jejíchž řadách bojoval na rumunské frontě v Sedmihradsku, Dobrudži a u Soluně v hodnosti poručíka pěchoty; nejprve velel četě, poté rotě a nakonec byl jmenován do funkce pobočníka velitele II. praporu 2. pluku I. Srbské legie. V září 1916 byl v boji raněn. Po vyléčení v červnu 1917 se přesunul se Srbskou legií do Řecka, kde působil od 1. října 1917 do 28. února 1918 jako velitel pěší čety.

V březnu 1918 byl s jednotkou převelen do Francie k 22. pěšímu pluku Československých legií jako velitel čety. Odtud byl odeslán do školy nižších velitelů pěchoty francouzské armády v Saint-Maixent (od 2. května do 1. srpna 1918). Začátkem září 1918 byl znovu převelen k 21. pluku a krátce nato k 35. pěšímu pluku Československých legií (bitva na Piavě a u Tagliamenta).

Poválečná vojenská služba
V listopadu 1918 se František Moravec vrátil se svým plukem do nově vzniklého Československa, ale obratem byl odeslán na Slovensko do války proti maďarským revolucionářům Bély Kuna. Proti nim bojoval u Miškolce, Apátfalvy a Bánréve. Domů se vrátil v červnu 1919.

V té době se rozhodl pro dráhu profesionálního vojáka. Byl přidělen k 35. pluku do Plzně v hodnosti kapitána pěchoty. V Plzni se oženil s Vlastou Novákovou. Z tohoto svazku se narodily dvě dcery, Hana a Taťána.

V letech 1925–1928 vystudoval Vysokou školu válečnou, kde se připravoval na dráhu důstojníka pro Hlavní štáb. Po jejím absolvování se vrátil zpět do Plzně v hodnosti štábního kapitána, nejprve jako přednosta štábu druhé divize (přednosta 1. a 4. oddělení, poté 2. a 3.). Zde byl také povýšen na majora generálního štábu a zde také poprvé přišel do styku s řízením zpravodajské práce.

Dne 1. prosince 1929 byl jmenován přednostou 2. (zpravodajského) oddělení Zemského vojenského velitelství v Praze. V této funkci si poprvé vyzkoušel řízení zpravodajského útvaru. Na tomto postu setrval až do 29. září 1934, kdy byl převelen do hlavního štábu a jmenován velitelem pátrací sekce druhého oddělení Hlavního štábu.

Zpravodajská služba

Období První republiky
30. září 1934 v hodnosti podplukovníka generálního štábu nastoupil na místo přednosty pátrací skupiny B19 v 2. oddělení Hlavního štábu, v roce 1937 byl v hodnosti plukovníka jmenován zástupcem přednosty celého 2. oddělení Generálního štábu. Po podepsání Mnichovské dohody 29. září 1938 se stal faktickým přednostou 2. oddělení Generálního štábu, neboť dosavadní přednosta plukovník Generálního štábu František Hájek byl na nátlak Němců z funkce odvolán. Do funkce přednosty 2. oddělení Hlavního štábu ale František Moravec nikdy nebyl oficiálně jmenován.

Moravcovo jmenování bylo spojeno s pověstmi o politické protekci, zejména ze strany armádního generála Josefa Bílého a plukovníka Generálního štábu Sergěje Ingra. Sám Moravec měl mnoho osobních nepřátel, které si získal svou povahou; byl sebevědomý, nekompromisní, ale i ironický a uštěpačný. Byl obviňován ze snahy po rychlé a vysoké vojenské kariéře. Tyto vlastnosti se projevovaly zejména ve vztahu ke kolegům, které považoval za své konkurenty v boji o místo přednosty druhého oddělení Hlavního štábu.

Na místě přednosty pátrací skupiny nahradil plukovníka pěchoty Mojmíra Soukupa. Vzápětí mu bylo vytýkáno nevhodné chování ke svému předchůdci; jeho práci ironizoval a vyjadřoval se k jeho osobě uštěpačně až cynicky. V roce 1935 navíc způsobil další skandál, když obvinil z velezrady generála Lva Prchalu. Obvinění ze spolupráce s německou rozvědkou se nakonec ukázalo jako nepravdivé.

Naproti tomu Moravec po svém příchodu k druhému oddělení postupně vtiskl pátrací skupině jasnou koncepci a jako hlavní cíl zpravodajské činnosti zcela správně určil nacistické Německo. Dokázal vyhledávat schopné lidi, kterými se obklopoval. Byl náročným a nekompromisním k nadřízeným a jejich práci dal účelný a vysoce produktivní styl práce. Navíc dokázal získat více peněz na zpravodajskou činnost a během svého působení podstatně rozšířil zpravodajskou síť proti Německu.

Přednostou druhého oddělení Hlavního štábu byl v době Moravcova působení plukovník Generálního štábu František Hájek. Svou funkci vnímal spíše jako reprezentativní a proto se ve svém úřadu vyskytoval minimálně a sám se tak z řízení oddělení vyřazoval. Na Moravce tak přecházela většina jeho povinností. Mezi oběma důstojníky v té době nebyly žádné konflikty. Mnohem více problémů působily vzájemné antipatie mezi Moravcem a přednostou studijní (vyhodnocovací) sekce plk. gšt. Františkem Havlem. V něm Moravec cítil budoucího konkurenta v boji o místo přednosty druhého oddělení Hlavního štábu.

Mezi největší úspěchy pátrací sekce pod Moravcovým vedením patří získání Paula Thümmela (krycím označením A-54), pracovníka Abwehru pro spolupráci s druhým oddělením v roce 1936. Naopak mezi výrazné chyby, za které byl kritizován, byla falešná varování o hrozícím německém nebezpečí v květnu a později v září 1938, na jejichž základě byla provedena částečná mobilizace československé armády (a odkryty tak nástupní plány).

Období Druhé republiky

Poté, co se československá vláda podřídila podmínkám Mnichovské dohody, Moravec se jako disciplinovaný voják podřídil. A to přesto, že patřil k části důstojnického sboru, který zastával názor, že se Československo mělo bránit a to bez ohledu na následky, protože "…o hranicích a svobodě se nediskutuje. Ty se musí bránit vždy a všemi prostředky…"

Nová vláda, která vznikla po demisi Hodžovy vlády 22. září 1938, nastoupila kurz neodporování nacistickému Německu. V rámci této politiky 11. ledna 1939 na žádost z německé strany opustil funkci přednosty druhého oddělení Hlavního štábu plk. Generálního štábu Hájek, a Moravec byl dočasně pověřen výkonem funkce přednosty místo něj. Díky nové koncepci Ministerstva národní obrany pro činnost zpravodajské služby bylo druhému oddělení nařízeno ukončit agenturní (výzvědnou) činnost proti Německu. Toto nařízení splnil Moravec pouze "naoko". Zpravodajská činnost proti Německu byla prováděna nadále, ovšem byla hluboce zakonspirována (utajena). Z činnosti v tomto období bylo Moravcovi (a v podstatě i celému Hlavnímu štábu československé armády) později vytýkáno, že neučinil maximum pro přípravu na přechod do ilegality v případě obsazení zbytku Československa Německem.

Od počátku března 1939 začalo Moravcovo 2. oddělení zachytávat zprávy o chystaném obsazení Československa v polovině měsíce. Poslední, jednoznačná zpráva o 15. březnu 1939 jako o datu okupace přišla od agenta A-54. V doprovodu zastupujícího náčelníka Hlavního štábu navštívil předsednictvo vlády, kde seznámil přítomné s aktuální situací a předpokládanou okupací. Setkal se s odmítáním či dokonce posměchem.

Dne 11. března Moravec přijal nabídku pracovníka britské zpravodajské služby Secret Intelligence Service na odchod (spolu s dalšími zpravodajci) do emigrace ve Spojeném království, a pokračovat ve zpravodajské činnosti proti Německu odtamtud. Nařídil likvidaci archivů druhého oddělení, rozpuštění agenturních sítí (či jejich přechod do ilegality) a vybral dalších 11 osob, které ho měly do Anglie následovat. Kritériem pro výběr se stala znalost agenta A-54 (kterého chtěli zpravodajci využívat i nadále). Za výběr byl později kritizován (ačkoliv se mu nedaly vytknout sobecké pohnutky, neboť zakázal přepravu rodin zpravodajců, včetně své), neboť mnohdy zohlednil i své sympatie a antipatie.

Dne 14. března 1939 opustil v letadle holandské KLM s dalšími československými zpravodajci republiku a unikl tak německé okupaci Československa. Od tohoto okamžiku se datuje začátek organizovaného vojenského odboje v zahraničí.

V emigraci během druhé světové války
Se svými spolupracovníky se usadil v Anglii a pokračoval ve zpravodajské práci při exilové vládě Edvarda Beneše. Byl v kontaktu s různými skupinami domácího odboje.

Byl (zejména z domova) obviňován z toho, že odchod skupiny zpravodajců z obsazovaného Československa byl především činem sebezáchovy, navíc nepřipraveným. Vojenský odboj v obsazeném Československu Moravce nikdy neuznal za vedoucí osobnost vojenského exilového odboje (tím byl generál Sergěj Ingr).

V letech 1939–1940 byl Moravec účastníkem řady vnitroexilových konfliktů, při nichž docházelo k vyjasňování kompetencí a pravomocí (kromě londýnského exilu existoval československý exil v Paříži a v Polsku). K prvnímu většímu konfliktu došlo v září 1939, když zásadním způsobem změnil generální instrukci, kterou generál Ingr jako hlava exilového vojenského odboje odesílal do okupovaného Československa. Instrukce se týkala možného povstání s tím, že o jeho zahájení rozhodne velení domácího odboje. Moravec změnil (na žádost britské IS a po konzultaci s Edvardem Benešem) instrukci v tom smyslu, že revoluce bude zahájena rozkazem z Londýna, což bylo Ingrem (přes objektivní důvody vedoucí k zásahu do instrukce) vnímáno jako zásadní porušení pravomocí a v budoucnu vedlo k dalším konfliktům.

Do dalšího ostrého konfliktu se Moravec dostal se svým bývalým nadřízeným plukovníkem Hájkem, kterého se mu podařilo vytěsnit z vedení exilového zpravodajství. Zároveň si tím ale rozšířil počet nepřátel, kteří Moravcovo jednání považovali za bezcharakterní. Na druhou stranu se uznává Moravcův podíl na konsolidaci a sjednocení odbojového zpravodajství kolem osoby E. Beneše a díky informacím předávaným Spojencům podíl na uznání československého exilu jako plnoprávného a hodnotného účastníka protinacistického boje. Svým monopolem na informace z Protektorátu, Německa, ale i z vládních kruhů Spojenců si zajistil výlučné postavení v okruhu Benešových spolupracovníků.

Okruh osobností, se kterými měl Moravec nepřátelské či napjaté vztahy (např. Jan Masaryk, Heliodor Píka) byl široký a po osvobození Československa v roce 1945 byl jednou z příčin Moravcova "odstavení".

Teprve po porážce Polska a Francie se londýnský exil stal jedinou západní centrálou západního zahraničního odboje. Vznikla československá exilová vláda v Londýně, s ní vzniklo mimo jiné i exilové Ministerstvo národní obrany; v něm byl Moravec jmenován do čela II. (zpravodajského) odboru a tím podřízen ministrovi obrany diviznímu generálovi Ingrovi. To vedlo k dalším konfliktům mezi oběma muži, neboť Moravec spoléhal na svou blízkost k Edvardu Benešovi a odmítal se Ingrovi podřídit.

V polovině roku 1941 se československé exilové vedení dostalo pod tlak britské a později i sovětské vlády. Spojenci žádali znásobení počtu sabotážních a diverzních akcí proti německé okupační správě na území bývalého Československa. Moravec, který patřil k tzv. militantním důstojníkům exilu začal prosazovat zvýšení odbojové činnosti v Protektorátu, neboť se domníval, že Češi nemohou v boji proti nacismu zůstat stranou:

Zároveň ale dospěl k závěru, že domácí odboj, po ztrátách způsobených gestapem, není schopen většího ozbrojeného vystoupení, a rozhodl o programu vojenských akcí zvenčí. K tomu mělo být využito parašutistů vysazených nad Protektorátem, přičemž parašutisté měli být především kurýry výzbroje a instruktory pro výcvik odbojářů doma. Je tedy považován za autora plánu na atentát na zastupujícího říšského protektora Reinharda Heydricha, provedený československými výsadkáři v roce 1942.

Po atentátu na Heydricha a následné německé odvetě proti obyvatelstvu Protektorátu došlo k likvidaci agenturních sítí na území Čech a Moravy, které předávaly zpravodajské informace do Londýna, a ke ztrátě radiového spojení mezi Protektorátem a zahraničním odbojem. Moravcova skupina se tak ocitla bez přísunu informací. To vedlo v letech 1942–1943 ke zpochybňování Moravcových kvalit a jeho schopnosti nadále vést zpravodajský odbor exilového MNO.

Přesto byl v roce 1943 František Moravec povýšen do hodnosti brigádního generála. V polovině září 1944 byl jmenován podnáčelníkem štábu hlavního velitele Československé armády a stal se Ingrovým zástupcem. Jmenování přišlo v období vypuknutí Slovenského národního povstání.

9. března 1945 se prezident Beneš s doprovodem přesunul do Moskvy a později do osvobozených Košic, kde byla ustavena prozatímní československá vláda. Ta začátkem dubna 1945 Benešovi doporučila Moravcovo penzionování. To Beneš, s ohledem na Moravcovy zásluhy o osvobození odmítl. Generál Moravec byl tedy prozatím pouze odvolán z funkce a ponechán v Londýně.

Po osvobození
Do osvobozeného Československa se generál Moravec vrátil 5. června 1945. Byl přijat náčelníkem hlavního štábu, divizním generálem Bohumilem Bočkem. Bylo mu sděleno nové, prozatímní zařazení do pomocného úřadu ministerstva národní obrany a zároveň byl odeslán na časově neomezenou dovolenou. O jeho služby nemělo nově vzniklé Reicinovo Obranné zpravodajství zájem. Zůstal tak sám. Jeho bývalí spolupracovníci se mu vyhýbali.

Vyšetřování
V létě 1945 nařídil generální prokurátor 1. československého armádního sboru tzv. vyhledávací řízení, na jehož základě měl být generál Moravec obviněn ze zanedbání služebních povinností tím, že v období obsazování Československa německou armádou nezničil či neodvezl důležitý zpravodajský materiál. Díky tomuto údajnému zanedbání se německý abwehr zmocnil seznamů československých zpravodajských důstojníků a spolupracovníků druhého oddělení Hlavního štábu. V květnu 1946 bylo ale šetření ukončeno s konstatováním, že všechny činy, ze kterých je gen. Moravec podezříván, jsou promlčeny.

Toto konstatování znamenalo pouze, že Moravcovým případem se nebude zabývat vojenský soud. 12. června 1946 určil MNO kárného žalobce. Od června 1946 do března 1947 probíhalo kárné řízení a výslechy svědků včetně gen. Moravce. Vyšetřování kárného výboru konstatovalo, že Moravcovi nelze přičítat vinu za nezničení zpravodajských materiálů. V červenci 1947 zpracovalo OBZ zprávu, ve které znovu dokazovalo Moravcovu vinu za nezničení zpravodajských materiálů. 11. listopadu 1946 vynesl kárný výbor osvobozující rozsudek. Ten však byl ministrem národní obrany Ludvíkem Svobodou vrácen zpět a bylo nařízeno nové vyšetřování. 26. února 1947 bylo toto řízení dekretem prezidenta republiky definitivně zastaveno.

1. prosince 1947 byl generál Moravec jmenován zatímním velitelem 14. divize v Mladé Boleslavi. 28. února 1948 byl z této funkce odvolán.

Po únoru 1948
Po komunistickém převratu v únoru 1948 opustil generál Moravec 29. března 1948 Československo a odešel za pomoci britské zpravodajské služby do své třetí emigrace. Postavil se do čela Special service company (SSC), zpravodajské organizace řízené a financované Spojenými státy americkými a sídlící v tehdejším Západním Německu. SSC se pomocí svých kontaktů v Československu snažila mapovat politickou a společenskou situaci a možnosti zvratu politického systému. V roce 1949, když došlo ke vzniku Rady svobodného Československa (RSČ), předával SSC část získaných informací i jí. SSC však nebyla jedinou zpravodajskou organizací československé emigrace; další pracovaly pod záštitou Velké Británie či Francie. V rámci RSČ vznikla centrální zpravodajská organizace, vedením byl jmenován generál Ingr.

V letech 1951–1952 Moravec řídil skupinu OKAPI vysílající do Československa agenty pro sběr informací. Skupina však byla infiltrována StB. Navíc selhaly i plány operace Velký metař mající za cíl unést na Západ generálního tajemníka KSČ Rudolfa Slánského (o plánu se dozvěděl i Stalin a nařídil Slánského zatknout a odsoudit).

V 50. letech byla zpravodajská činnost Moravcovy skupiny postupně omezována, až byla zastavena úplně. Na vině by mohly být změny v americké zahraniční politice i neúspěchy, které činnost SSC provázely. František Moravec byl po celá 50. léta navíc cílem sledování československých zpravodajských služeb. Poté, co se začátkem 60. let odstěhoval natrvalo do USA, bylo toto sledování utlumováno, až bylo v roce 1962 ukončeno úplně pro vysoký věk a minimální nebezpečnost pro režim v Československu.

Poslední roky svého života pracoval generál Moravec ve vojenské rozvědce americké armády jako poradce pro Československo, jednalo se ale spíše o čestnou funkci.

Zemřel 26. července 1966 ve Washingtonu, D.C. na infarkt myokardu.

Po roce 1989

Od roku 1999 nese jeho jméno 601. skupina speciálních sil Armády České republiky. Dne 26. dubna 2022 byly jeho ostatky oficiálně převezeny z USA do Česka k pietnímu uložení v kolumbáriu hřbitova v Čáslavi.

›Former PM Davutoğlu will be expelled from his party
Former PM Davutoğlu will be expelled from his party
Date: 8.9.2019 16:00
Turkish former prime minister and chairman of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) Ahmet Davutoğlu is to be expelled from the party, together with three colleagues.
The 12-member AKP Executive Board unanimously decided on Monday.
A statement Davutoğlu made last week may have accelerated action against him.
He said: "If terror-related cases are investigated, many people (meaning President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his close entourage) will not be able to go out and face the public."
After such a confrontation, it would be difficult for Davutoğlu to reverse the process and find an accommodation with the party. Reports say the former prime minister is preparing to set up a rival party to the AKP.
Two other members of the AKP, - Ali Babacan, a former deputy prime minister and economy minister, and Beşir Atalay, a former interior minister - are also establishing a new party, but they resigned the AKP before announcing their intention to do so.
Davutoğlu's expulsion from the AKP was discussed at length by the party's Executive Board. Some members thought he should be forced to resign rather than being expelled because they believed the expulsion would make him appear a victim and increase his popularity.
Others thought allowing him to stay would damage the party so Davutoğlu and his three colleagues had to be expelled at once. The Executive Board unanimously agreed to expel the former prime minister and referred the issue to the Discipline Board.
The expulsion will, of course, speed up Davutoğlu's efforts to establish a new party. This does not mean his party will become an important player in Turkey's volatile political landscape. His chances of forming a sizeable opposition are slim, but his initiative and Babacan's party will steal votes from the AKP. Babacan is more likely to attract voters, as he cannot be blamed for any past wrongdoing and enjoys prestige in Turkey's business community as well as abroad. No matter how small the effect may be, these two parties will negatively affect the AKP's political prospects.
Davutoğlu's chances of success are handicapped by the fact that he can hardly complain about the difficult situation that Turkey finds itself in at present, because he was chairman of the ruling party and prime minister until as recently as 2016. While he may seek to blame Erdoğan for the wrong counter-terrorism policies, the electorate will wonder why he did not speak out at that time rather than threaten Erdoğan now, several years later.
It would not be a surprise if those who are expelling Davutoğlu today were themselves expelled from the party one day, when the tide changes.

"Such a nice music!", the billiard players say after our session with Azure Ray. "It's a pity that it's already over!" We invite Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor from Omaha, Nebraska, to the charming Café Weidinger when we meet them on a sunny but freezing cold February morning. They head for a quiet corner next to the billiard players and treat us (and them) with beautiful and heartwarming versions of their songs "Don't Leave My Mind" and "Hold On Love", accompanied only by the occasional sound of touching billiard balls. It is a very particular atmosphere at this traditional, old-established café with its worn-out furniture and wall colours, when Orenda's and Maria's soft voices and their gentle guitar play fill the room. Heads turn around and the waiter takes a curious glimpse around the corner. When Azure Ray leave the coffee house after their little set the billiard players are not the only ones who would have enjoyed more music from Maria and Orenda!


I caught wind of the frequent convening later than I hoped, but was ultimately grateful to have made it. I'm referring to Justin Sayre's International Meeting of Sodomites, a standing comedy routine held downtown at Joe's Pub. Sayre's variety show format began at the intimate Duplex space in the West Village and later moved to the larger venue where he has been packing the pub and entertaining audiences with his brand of wicked humor and tributes to musical icons. "The Meeting" has also entertained crowds across the country in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Clearly, sodomites are everywhere and fortunately, we have a strong leader with Sayre at the helm.
Photo courtesy of Dan Fortune PR.
His success has taken him to Hollywood where he is currently a staff writer for the CBS comedy, 2 Broke Girls. Sayre ended the season on Sunday, May 22nd by saluting Prince. He told amusing anecdotes about his mother (who raised him in the small town of Forty Fort, Pennsylvania), offered clever observations about the LBGT community and later, applauded the Obama Administration for designating the Stonewall Inn as a historic landmark. "But really ,queens…we can do better," he added with perfect dry delivery. Throughout the evening, he introduced an impressive line up of talent who paid musical homages to the late pop star. Tony De Sare, Michael Cavadias, Bridget Barkan and Mark Aaron James sang their own interpretations of classic Prince songs, under the sharp musical direction of Tracy Stark. Ali Grieb was a particular stand-out as she brought down the house with her transfixing cover of "Nothing Compares To You," a song made popular by Sinead O' Conner but written by Prince.
This Monday night June 6th, he will host the sixth annual "Night of 1000 Judys" benefitting the Ali Forney center. Broadway luminaries including Lillias White, Alice Ripley, Annie Golden, Vivian Reed and many others will all contribute to an evening of skits, tributes, and music honoring Judy Garland. The soiree will be held at Merkin Concert Hall at the Kaufman Center. More info can be found on the fabulous artwork below or by clicking here.
While his quips are often painfully brutal, Sayre also displays a human kindness which evokes hints of an urban Mark Twain or Garrison Keillor. It's comforting to know that another season is in store. Given all the "sturm und drang" that's happening in our country right now, at least we'll have something to look forward to with Sayre as our savior of sanity. But, we'll want to bring kleenex to wipe away the combined tears of sadness and sass when the final meeting adjourns.

These two work so well together, and they have love that is contagious. You will be seeing more of the weddings they will be capturing this year, on the blog. YAY! We wanted to take a moment and let them introduce themselves here on the blog. Sit back, and enjoy, because this couple is AMAZING!
"We are Sarah and Simeon. Since we are technically newlyweds ourselves we are naturally big fans of marriage. We are so excited to be able to help capture weddings with Janae Rose Photography. I, Sarah, shot my first wedding with Janae in 2013, and am so grateful for the opportunity to learn from her and Hugo through the years. And now I am even more excited to be able to share this experience with my best friend and love, Simeon.
We share our home with our West High White Terrier Wally. Although we are both transplants, Simeon is originally from Wisconsin and I am from Alabama, we love living in Pennsylvania. Simeon works as a landscape maintenance manager and also remodels houses in the winter months. I have always loved animals and work as a Certified Veterinary Technician. We met serving together at a House of Prayer and although we were interested in each other off and on at different times, Simeon finally decided to pursue me in 2014 and it wasn't long before we knew that we wanted to spend our lives together. Together we enjoy going to new places, traveling, and exploring. We enjoy music, playing guitar, snowboarding, trying new cuisine, hiking, walks with Wally, and being with our families.
We love being able to capture emotions and things from a wedding that make the couple feel like they are reliving their special day each time they look at their images. Each couple's relationship is so special and we love how each wedding day has its own special feel. Marriage has been one of the greatest gifts God has blessed us with and we can't wait to capture more couples as they begin this new season of life.

It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back es el segundo álbum de estudio del grupo de hip hop Public Enemy, lanzado en el sello Def Jam Recordings en los Estados Unidos el 14 de abril de 1988.

Este disco es frecuentemente citado como una de los más célebres e influyentes obras en la historia del hip hop. La mezcla entre la densidad del sample y producción de The Bomb Squad y las letras contestatarias punk rock de Chuck D transformaron a esta placa en una sensación, llegando al número 42 del ranking Billboard 200, y al número 1 en las listas Billboard R&B/Hip hop.

Recepción e influencia

Es el lugar más alto que ocupa un álbum de hip hop en dicha lista.

Acclaimed Music ubica al álbum en el lugar 18 de los mejores de todos los tiempos y el número dos en la categoría hip-hop (después de To Pimp a Butterfly). En 2006 la revista Time lo ubicó entre los 100 mejores álbumes de todos los tiempos. También fue destacado en los Mejores 100 Álbumes de Rap de The Source. Incluso Kurt Cobain, el fallecido guitarrista y vocalista de la banda grunge Nirvana, incluyó 'It Takes A Nation of Millions' en su lista personal de sus 50 discos favoritos, según sus memorias.

CBN directs banks to strengthen operational capacity to embrace e-Naira
FZMainadmin Finance, Money e-Naira	0
Mr Folashodun Shonubi, Deputy Governor, Operations Directorate, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has urged Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) to strengthen their operational capacity to effectively harness the opportunities of the E-naira.
Shonubi gave the advice virtually at the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) Advocacy Dialogue, Series 4, on Thursday in Lagos.
The "Central Bank Digital Currencies: Insights for the 21st Century Banker," as its theme.
According to him, nations are embracing the opportunities that Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) presents for financial inclusion across the globe.
" I am of the opinion that CBDC will strengthen the stability of the banking system even as deposit becomes more diversified when more people are banked.
"Though Nigeria has blazed the trail in instant payments, we rank top when it comes to instant payments, the CBDC generally will improve efficiency and promote opportunities for jurisdictions without instant payments options to leapfrog on their operations of faster payment mode.
"We have so many countries today that have not implemented instant payments like we have done in Nigeria.
"More retail payments may assume real time features, thereby requiring banks to strengthen their operational capacity to effectively harness the opportunity," he said.
Shonubi was represented by Mr Musa Jimoh, Director Payment System Management, CBN.
The deputy governor said that CBDC might enhance liquidity of banks in developing nations, through international remittances.
He said that diaspora population of developing nations was on the increase and remittances likewise, even as the world economy rebounds in the post-pandemic era.
According to him, the CBDC is expected to enhance efficiency in international remittances and challenge the current high cost of remittances.
He said that the expectation of the CBDC was to see how the cost of remittances could be brought down so that more people begin to remit money home.
"As remittance rule improves, the deposit base of the banks in receiving countries will also improve. That is one of the key benefits of CBDC.
"With greater inclusion, diversified bank deposit base, and expected growth in remittances, the economy will become bouyant as intermediation will be eventually deepened with broader access to finance.
" It is therefore hoped that outcome will be generally enhanced even as trade ramps-up with increased adoption of CBDC by more central banks," he said.
The Director General, Securities and Exchange Commission, Mr Lamido Yuguda, urged CBN to properly position the CBDC to compete with other digital currencies in the world.
"There are quite a number of Central Banks that are actually researching this very project,.
"You can be sure once you have so many central banks, they are not all going to adopt the same model, and over the next two to three years, you might actually see some models becoming more successful than other models.
"So, as we embark on this journey, we have to be very alert to what other countries are doing, because this is really competitive in the marketplace.
"People will want to position their currencies in such a way that really entices many other users even beyond their own borders to use this particular currency," he said.
Mr Adeolu Bajomo, Executive Director, Information Technology and Operations, Access Bank Plc, urged CBN to empower FinTechs to carry out research on the project.
"It is an opportunity to really spur up the FinTechs and the digitalisation of Nigeria and empower a lot of our innovators and Fintech companies and indeed financial services companies to innovate in every sense of the work.
"When I talk about innovation, I am talking about deep research into the fundamentals of putting the building blocks together," he said.
Prof. Olayinka David-West, Associate Dean, Lagos Business School and Program, said the CBDC needed more scientific investigations on the nuances and implications in the market.
"As you know, CBDCs are still new and we are still exploring to understand what is going to happen with them and what we can do, but then again, because we are still learning, we also need more scientific investigations going on about the nuances in each market.
" So, we also need to engage the academic community and academia better in terms of what we need to do," she said.
Earlier, CIBN President, Dr Bayo Olugbemi, described the launch of the digital currency as an exciting development that would revolutionise the banking industry.
"We are not alone , across the globe, other Central Banks including Bank of England, Peoples Bank of China and Bank of Ghana are concluding plans to launch digital currencies within the year.
"The launch of such currency is significant as it is capable of potentially reducing transaction costs and preventing the Central bank from losing market share to crypto currencies which are still available via pair to pair trading platforms.
" It is also significant as it could potentially disrupt more traditional banking business models and possibly redefine the role of banks as intermediaries and as lenders," Olugbemi said.
CIBN Advocacy Dialogue Series 4 is a platform conceived principally to address critical issues affecting the banking industry and the economy.

Q: How can i rotate a background image of a pseudo element? I know that i can rotate a background image by insert it in a pseudo element and make it rotate.
But if i need to rotate a background image of a pseudo element how can i do?
This is my case:

#button_motore {

 width: 150px;
 height: 50px;
 background-color: #41a8dc;
 position: relative;
 padding: 0;
 border: 0;
 transition: 0.5s;
 display: inline-block;
 margin-top: 10px;

}

#button_motore:after {

 content: "";
 width: 50px;
 height: 50px;
 position:absolute;
 background-color: #418FDC;
 display:inline-block;
 right: 0;
 top: 0;
 background-image: url(../img/eliche.png);
 background-size: 35px 35px;
 background-position: 7.5px 7.5px;
 background-repeat: no-repeat;
 transition: 0.5s;

}

#button_motore:hover {

 background-color: #418FDC;

}

#button_motore:hover::after{

 background-color: #4172DC;
 -webkit-animation: motore_animation 0.4s linear;
 animation: motore_animation 0.4s linear;
 -webkit-animation-fill-mode: forwards;
 animation-fill-mode: forwards;

}

#button_motore_content{

 font-size: 18px;
 color: white;
 position:relative;
 right: 25px;

}
<button type="submit" id="button_motore" name="motore">Motore</button>

I want to rotate eliche.png. I can also use jQuery.

A: As @Paulie_D mentioned, you cannot spin the background image, but you can spin the pseudo-element itself. That would look like the following:
@keyframes spin {
  0% {transform: rotate(0deg);}
  100% {transform: rotate(360deg);}
}

#button_motore:hover::after{
  background-color: #4172DC;
  /* obviously add prefixes */
  animation: spin 1s infinite linear;
}

Kennington residents have recently been invited by Thames Water to attend a drop-in session at Kennington Village Hall where representatives from the company were on hand to discuss the work the waste water company would be doing in their area over the coming months.
There have been many instances of sewer flooding in Kennington over the last few years with problems exacerbated by the increased number of heavy rain storms the UK now sees. The work will see the closure of Kennington road for a week and will see a second surface water sewer installed which will take waste water away from Kennington Road to Hinksey drain.
When the flooding is really bad it can also affect the main line railway between Oxford and London. Thames Water will be working with Network Rail, The Environment Agency and local councils to instigate the sewer upgrade and repairs.
"Flooding is utterly miserable and even if it only lasts a few hours, the damage, disruption and distress can last for months. We are committed to do everything we can to protect our customers.


The humidity was high and, with the cool 58 degrees, there was a decided chill to the air as we shot the Bullseye 900 last night. Everyone wore a light jacket or a shirt atop a shirt. I "warmed up" with 22 caliber and kept its temperature-sensitive ammunition in my pocket.
Spirits were initially muted, probably by the chill, but once we settled into the Slow Fire match, moods picked up and the usual side comments were heard as shots went downrange.
Bill, Felipe, Hank, Len and myself made up the small group that braved the cool damp to shoot the Luck Target, the 900 and to compete for the evening's prize, a new 2011 Dillon Precision calendar.
Bill tossed the coin and it came up heads so the Luck Target went to the high score. Yours truly, shooting his Smith and Wesson model 41 with Ultradot, tagged my model number's points over the requisite three holes to win.
Then, in the 900 that started promptly at 7:00PM, the biggest group was the combined Sharpshooter, Marksman and Tyro classes. At the start, therefore, it was announced those shooters would be competing for the calendar hanging on display over the registration table.
Firing a variety of calibers, when the final scores for those three competitors were tallied, they were within ten (20) points of each other. Hank took first place and was decidedly pleased with the Dillon calendar and its attractive and "on topic" photographs.
Between the small group and the chill, things moved along rapidly. We finished slightly after 8:30PM. One shooter jokingly complained he might have to drive around the block a couple of times to avoid setting a dangerous precedent by arriving home so early after Nighthawks.
November is one of those twice-a-year months with five Tuesdays. Next week will be that "fifth Tuesday of the month" and that's when Nighthawks shoots an L-Match. If you haven't shot one before, you have a real treat in store. Think of a gigantic X ring with an even larger 10 ring. Everyone shoots much higher scores; this is a great ego-booster after those tiny B-16 Slow Fire bullseye or the 3-second face time of the International Rapid Fire targets.
What's your record X count? Are you ready to break it?
"Wow, I cleaned the target!" will be heard more than once next week. Maybe you will be the one to shout it out next Tuesday?
Here are the details in case you've forgotten.
Next: L-Match 900 November 30th.
Format: Bullseye 900 on 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month, International [Olympic center fire] on the 2nd and 4th, and a Police "L" Match on the twice-a-year 5th Tuesdays. Shoot one- or two-handed as you wish.
Fall Temperatures Arrive Next Week!
Hot? Did someone say it's hot in Arizona? And at the end of September?
On the new pistol range clock that shows the time in both analog and digital forms, set by radio, as well as the current temperature, it was 97 degrees for the first shot at 7:00PM last night at the Phoenix Rod and Gun Club's weekly Nighthawks shoot. And the humidity seemed to be up a bit and, just to make matters worse, there wasn't a breath of wind.
But we know how to deal with that. We set up the big fan to move some air down the line and it was quite tolerable.
George and I shot Luck Targets at 6:30PM, the coin toss said high score would win and so George won back his dollar.
When we got to Rapid (aka Duelling) Fire, a couple of visitors from the action pistol range had stopped by. We invited them to join us for the "action" part of the competition and they agreed. To get the "newbies" (from the action pistol range) familiar with the form, we did two sighter series, one for those who knew the Rapid Fire format, and then again for the newcomers.
I shot a personal best in Rapid Fire, a 94, on my last target! But let me quickly add, I was using an "illegal" gun. Not only was the caliber too large (45 ACP is over the 38 caliber maximum), and I was also using a red dot instead of iron sights.
But even with the (illegal) advantage of a red dot sight, that score still wasn't good enough.
Earlier this week I swapped emails with a couple of regulars and as we get into October, they will be returning. That's also when the "Mountain Men" (Show Low summer residents), mid-westerners (from Chicago) and other "snow birds" begin their return to Phoenix. The line will be filling up from here on.
And if you're visiting Phoenix from out of town, come on by the range (address below) — someone's bound to have an extra gun and some ammo — we'd be delighted to have you visit!
Also, our beginners from last week have also promised to return. (I think last night's heat put them off but next week promises to be very nice — much cooler [at last]).
Attendance is ramping up as the heat goes down.
The weather forecast for Phoenix next Tuesday is down nearly 20 degrees from the highs of this week — it should be really nice. The low next Tuesday is expected to be 71 degrees and at 6:30PM it should be a very nice evening to be out enjoying the stars — and shooting a couple of Xs, a few 10s and 9s and, hopefully, nothing less.
That was it; no more summer.
But by the time we reached the first Timed Fire in the National Match Course, the beginners were comfortable with the equipment and procedures so we made up most of the lost time.
One of the newcomers shot several very impressive targets. She was a natural for the sport.
The grand prize for the evening, a copy of A Pistol Shooter's Treasury, was awarded to the high score of the evening (regardless of gun or number of hands used) to Jason Demont. Jason, who has advanced well up the Bullseye rankings over the past several years, said it was a very welcome prize as he had heard of but never read the book. Several shooters smiled and warned that his shooting may temporarily decline as he integrates new skills from the book into his performance at the line but the experts then agreed it would ultimately prove to be a significant boon to his or anyone's shooting.
It's "traditional Bullseye 900" this coming week (Tuesday, June 1, 2010) at Nighthawks in Phoenix Arizona. Shoot any handgun (no magnums, please — range rules) and one- or two-handed as you prefer. Bring 100 rounds, more if you come early and want to practice before the match that begins at 6:30PM.
Shoot your 22, a 38, 9 mm, 45 cal, whatever you want. Shoot an automatic, a classy (or ugly) revolver, or … gee, is there anything else?
Rapid Fire – five rounds in ten seconds (twice on BIG targets at 25 yards).
Rapid Fire – Recoil recovery and getting back on the target are critical.

Mo Salah and other Egyptian football stars depicted in Coptic-style art sparks controversy
'I wanted to pay homage to Coptic art, which is part of my heritage, as well as to the soccer players,' says the artist El-Sabrouti of his digital portraits
"I wanted to apply the techniques and characteristics of Coptic art to these portraits of Egyptian football stars as a way of introducing young people to the tradition," Ahmed El-Sabrouti, an Alexandria-based artist, says of his works. Mo Salah depicted as an Egyptian king, with an olive branch crown.
Rupert Hawksley
Knocked out at the group stage, having lost every game, Egypt did not have a World Cup to remember. Fans were doubtless hoping that, at this point in the competition, star player Mohamed Salah would be preparing for a crucial game; instead, he is on holiday in Beirut, a mere bystander as the tournament hurtles towards its climax.
Despite this, however, the Egyptian football team is still making headlines. That's because Ahmed El-Sabrouti, an Alexandria-based artist, recently released a series of eye-catching digital portraits of the players, as well as head coach Héctor Cúper, in a style that imitates the Fayum portraits of Egyptian mummies.
Fayum portraits, traditionally painted on wooden boards, date back to the first century BC and are thought to have been placed over mummified bodies in Ancient Egypt. In some regions, instead of placing the body in a coffin of wood or stone that mimicked the person's likeness, the deceased was wrapped in linen, with a painted portrait laid over their head. These portraits, the vast majority of which have been found in or near the city of Faiyum, had a profound influence on Egyptian art right through to the Coptic period, which began around the third century AD.
"Coptic art is integral to the history of Egyptian culture," El-Sabrouti told The National. "And it had a great influence on – indeed, it is the godfather of – the religious iconography art that was later embraced by Christianity here.
A post shared by @yevgeniya.baras
"I wanted to apply the techniques and characteristics of Coptic art to these portraits of Egyptian football stars as a way of introducing young people to the tradition."
The controversy surrounding the portraits
But that is not the controversial part. What some people have objected to is the representation of Cúper as Jesus Christ and some of the players, including Salah, as saints. On the portrait of Salah, who wears a crown made from an olive branch, El-Sabrouti has written the words "King of Egypt".
Since these portraits were published in the Egyptian newspaper Al-Dustour, two legal cases have been brought against El-Sabrouti. The portraits have also been brought to the attention of Egypt's Supreme Council of the Press.
Added to this, the Egyptian writer and theatre director Irini Samir has criticised El-Sabrouti's series, which is called The Egyptian Lullaby. "Coptic art is special to the Church and should not be imitated in any other way outside this context," Samir said. "There is freedom of expression, but this freedom of expression should consider ethics and issues that others consider sacred."
In an interview with the US-based website, Al Monitor, El-Sabrouti rejected these claims, however. Referring to the portrait of Cúper, the 30-year-old said: "I wanted to feature Cúper in this symbolic portrait as a man with a game plan, a saviour or a saint, who has faced a lot of criticism and obstacles, [in order] to make the national team qualify for the World Cup for the first time in 28 years.
"The halo behind him is a ball, which I used as a symbol of his knowledge and wisdom in soccer […] The aura is used in different artistic works in Egypt and abroad to express the purity or wisdom of the person, and it is never interpreted as contempt. People use emojis with a halo online every day.
"Egyptians are familiar with both contemporary and Pharaonic art, but Coptic art is relatively unknown and much too often confined to the inside of churches," he says. "I wanted to pay homage to Coptic art, which is part of my heritage, as well as to the soccer players."

The story behind the pieces
It would be a shame if the furore over these images detracted, however, from their inventiveness. There is a rare attention to detail and beauty to the series, which also features portraits of goalkeeper Essam El-Hadary, who at 45 was the oldest player at the World Cup, defender Ali Gabr, midfielders Mohamed Elneny and Amr Warda, and winger Shikabala, who El Sabrouti refers to as "the amazing magician".
So how does El-Sabrouti, who is a graduate of the Faculty of Fine Arts at Alexandria University, do it? "It is impossible for any artist to simulate the style and appearance of masterpieces painted thousands of years ago with egg tempera," he says. "So I use digital painting techniques, along with a good deal of effort and passion, to create a similar effect. I have been studying the characteristics of Coptic art for years.
"I have always been fascinated by these types of work, which hang all over churches and museums in Alexandria. I have also been involved in the restoration of some of these pieces."
When I ask him which is his favourite portrait, El-Sabrouti is unsure, but adds that the portraits of Salah and Cúper generated the most interest inside and outside of Egypt. Proof, then, that a bit of controversy is never a bad thing.

Q: Definition and Measurment of Energy and Heat in Thermodynamics The concept of work is clear from mechanics, where $dW=F\cdot dx$, leading to $dW=PdV$. Also different forms of energy are defined in mechanics, e.g., $E=\frac{1}{2}m v^2$, etc. How are the energy and heat defined and measured in thermodynamics?
Because once we define them independently, we can state the first law of thermodynamics, $d E=\delta Q+\delta W$.


Background: Kelussia Odoratissima (Apiaceae family) is an herbaceous plant which traditionally used in Iran as antiache, anti inflammation and anticoughagents. This plant has potent antioxidant and anticancer effects. The present investigation was carried out to study cytotoxic activity of leaves, shoots, seeds, flowers and roots extracts of K.odoratissima collected from two different regions against MCF7 cell line and peripheral blood monolayer cell (PBMC). Materials and methods: The cells used in this research, MCF7 a breast cancer cell lines and normal lymphocytes were cultured in PRMI-1640 supplemented with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 &mug/ml streptomycin and 5mM/L glutamine. The cytotoxic effect of the crude methanol extract of this plant at different concentrations (10, 100, 500 and 1000 &mug/ml) were performed by using MTT assay. Results: The crude methanol extracts of different organs of K. odoratissima grown in korhang didn't have any cytotoxic effect, but the flower, leave and seed extracts of K. odoratissima grown in fereydonshahr showed potent cytotoxic effect on the MCF7 cells. However these extracts at different concentrations were not cytotoxic on normal cells. Conclusion: In conclusion, the results demonstrated that different extracts K. odoratissima grown in fereydonshahr could be evaluated as an anticancer agent.

Minor Instances of Criminality when Young Should Not Affect a Person's Future
July 5, 2015 by jio-admin
Kids usually get into a mischief or two during childhood, and making this their label for life is unfair. That is why the law, in general, treats minor offenders lightly because it believes that there are still lots of chances for the minor to change for the better.
The Centre on Research for Youth at Risk revealed that identifying the specific risk factors related to the crime committed by juveniles would reduce behavioral problems in the future.
This indicates that minor instances of criminality when a person is young should not disadvantage him, and people in his circle should be educated about the facts surrounding minor juvenile crimes.
According to a research published by The Youth Court of New Zealand:
"A quarter of young men will commit at least one offence during their formative years but most of these will desist from crime and go on to settle into law-abiding lifestyles by their mid-twenties, having committed only a few trivial crimes."
The study, also, disclosed that the environment in which the minor exists is a crucial factor on how he grows up and develops.
Early intervention in the family and school are significant during the growing years of a child. The inculcation of moral values also takes place during these formative years of a person.
Being disadvantaged or not is, therefore, up to environment that the minor would be exposed to when he grows older.
If people around these minors are well-informed that these young offenders are not criminals per se, but just
misguided kids, who want to explore things, then the situation, would turn as an advantage for them.
People would treat them fairly and with utmost consideration.
Another study written by Professor Huw Williams entitled: brain injury should be taken into consideration with minors involved in serious or minor criminality.
A young person's minor brush up with the law would not disadvantage him if he grows up in a supportive and concerned society.
On the other hand, if he grows up in a community that tends to judge him by his past mistakes, then his past incidents would serve as a fatal disadvantage.
This would drive him deeper into the abyss of despair, and consequently, criminality. People should remember that a young person's brain develops until he reaches the age of 18, or sometimes 20; thus, should be granted support and certain considerations until his brain has fully developed and he could decide as a mature individual.

Chris Erskine: Cozy winter hangouts to slurp chowder, escape with a good book
The Redondo Beach Pier, where clouds enhance the long winter sunsets. Bowls of steamy chowder await there too.
(Luis Sinco / Los Angeles Times)
By Chris ErskineColumnist
Jan. 9, 2020 7 AM PT
I've run aground in the South Bay, in search of the very best chowder and a little nook where I can nurse a cup of coffee and study the fine print of the sports page for most of a morning. When my neck stiffens, I will pause to people-watch, then crack open a new old novel. In the cool shade of January, I will turn up the neck of the too-thick cardigan, the ultimate bubble wrap.
All of us need to flee now and then. What better place than the beach in winter?
Tip No. 1: Leave the phone in your car, for that parasite will pull you out of the tactile pleasures of this stolen day on the water. Better that the wind fills your newspaper like a sail or that you turn directly into that stiff north breeze — the minty stuff that comes out of Canada, ricochets off Oxnard and tingles your cheeks.
Summer at the beach is so obvious. Winter beckons too though. It's more pensive, thoughtful, serene and cozy. As Dickinson noted, there's a certain slant of light to winter afternoons. You can skip the sunscreen. No need to circle for a parking space.
In Santa Monica, you can nap for hours in a cabana chair at Perry's Cafe or rent a bike and wobble along for miles to the marina.
You can sneak a nap at Perry's Cafe, 2400 Ocean Front Walk in Santa Monica.

Better yet, immerse yourself in a great book. After all the bumping of butts and elbows at stuffy holiday parties, I promise you a different sort of day — of poetry and wakefulness. Or, at the very least, some much-needed sunlight on your clammy forehead.
Tip No. 2: Bring someone to cuddle up with: Atwood, Gladwell, Patterson, Proulx….
Like me, the Small World Books in Venice is a dusty anachronism. Now 50, it doesn't belong here among the massage parlors and weed shops. It's a literary speakeasy. To get in, you zig and zag through a tiny entry. Once inside, this landmark bookstore provides a well-curated collection of recent hits and past loves.
Grab a bestseller, lay down your 20 bucks. If you've got a book, you've got a pal.
Grab an old sweater and a book. Forgot one? Check out Small World Books, beside a busy cafe in Venice.
Just north, you'll find your first winter conquest: Figtree's Café, where you can linger for hours, the grub is good, and if it rains, you can duck inside where the light is yellow (like Paris) and the tables feature white linen (also like Paris).
Café Collage is another safe harbor in Venice, where an overhang protects your sidewalk table from the rays or rain. Café Collage has cracked concrete, lovely capitals atop the trademark columns and a bit of beatnik grit.
For someplace that whispers instead of shouts, head south to Hermosa, where the beloved Green Store offers homemade chicken soup for $5.99, which you can slurp down at Noble Park, about a half-mile south.
Grab some homemade chicken soup at Hermosa's beloved Green Market, and head to a nearby park.
Right next door to the Green Store is the Bottle Inn, with a patio offering ocean views. That's where I find Mariana Aguilar, who is doing just as we suggest, stealing a day to read and unwind, wisely alternating between a cup of mint tea and a glass of rose.
"I just wanted a quiet day," Aguilar explains as she pauses while reading "The Overstory." "I feel like we live in a city where you need to make a point of doing this sort of thing once in a while."
Hermosa is an ideal winter pit stop, quieter than nearby beach cities and with a bit more country charm. Java Man, just up from the pier, is an excellent hang, a 1920s bungalow featuring tables or benches, sofas or chairs. Don't skip the turkey and egg white breakfast burrito.
Less precious is the rakish Redondo Pier, featuring an assortment of appealing seafood joints and downright dives. There I find a steamy bowl of chowder at perhaps the quintessential winter retreat: Redondo Coffee Shop, at the end of the pier and within earshot of barking seals.
The portions are generous, and you can loiter for hours. If you didn't know better, you might think you were in Gloucester or some other moody seaside sanctuary in Massachusetts. On a gray day, the sky is indistinguishable from the sea, just various shades of steel -- misty and pixelating in the distance, sort of tinseled.
The Redondo Beach Coffee Shop, at the end of the pier, offers hearty chowder and a place to read or write.
This is the place to pen your novel, pore over the sports scores or just veg. The turquoise booths are roomy, and I don't know the name of those filmy curtains, the kind Grandma kept high across her kitchen windows, but they have those too. If the fish are biting, you can rent a rig for $9 and buy bait (anchovies $5.75, squid $7.95). Drop a line. Feel the sea on your fingers.
By now, you've had a day. You'll be better at work, more fun with your friends, who will wonder whether you're in love again — or merely drunk — for all your zen.
Truth is, you probably ended your beach day at Tony's on the Pier, a jaunty bar/restaurant with pirate-ship ambience and lighthouse views up and down the South Bay. Head upstairs for the best sunsets.
In business since 1952, Tony's could be your portal to a better 2020. Honestly, I've sent you to inferior places (Spago, for example).
At Tony's, waves blast the beach 50 yards away. It's a fine vista for studying a long winter sunset, pink as Cupid's tongue. Be patient. The sky won't really explode till the sun fully sinks below the horizon.
Tip No. 3: Don't doubt yourself.
Heal the bay? Heal thyself.
For, if nothing else, you've now "boxed the compass," an ancient rite for young sailors learning their way. You've started the year replenished, with notes for that novel or inspiration from your favorite author, who seems to sneak peeks at your soul.
You've also started the year with the notion that while L.A. may be renowned for its sweaty summers, it might just be best right now.
In addition to breakfast or lunch, you can rent a rod and buy bait at the Redondo Coffee Shop.
