Defeating the anti-BDS bill: Letter from Sam Bahour about "positive investments"
On October 22nd, the UCLA Undergraduate Students Association Council voted to defeat a resolution that threatened the ability for students to pursue divestment from companies tied to the Israeli occupation. The resolution, entitled "A Resolution In Support of Positive Steps Towards an Israeli-Palestinian Peace" framed divestment as a source of tension on campus, while also calling for "positive investment" in a basket of companies loosely affiliated with both Israelis and Palestinians. . During the effort to defeat this bill, we received solidarity statements from around the world, explaining the futility of the bill's "positive investment" clauses and the importance of divestment as a non-violent response to the occupation. For more, please see our press release. Here is a statement sent by Sam Bahour that addresses "positive investment."
Sam Bahour Statement to UCLA Student Government by SJPatUCLA
TIMELINE: ATTEMPTS TO CENSOR STUDENTS AND FACULTY WHO STAND UP FOR HUMAN RIGHTS ON UC CAMPUSES
By Rahim Kurwa
The University of California recently commissioned a report on the campus climate that accuses students and faculty who are critical of Israel of contributing to a negative environment for Jewish students. Under the false assumption that criticism of Israeli state policies constitutes hate speech against Jewish students, the report recommends wide forms of censorship to limit criticism of Israel. These include banning speakers from campus to enforcing "balance" at political events to prohibiting "hate speech" that is allegedly anti-Semitic under a controversial definition of that word.
Some Jewish students excluded from the report have blasted the assumption that criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic. The report has been widely criticized in themedia and by Palestinian rights advocates, Jewish groups, and free speech supporters. But relatively little attention has been paid to the role of the UC Administration in contributing to a climate of fear, censorship, and intimidation for those speaking out against human rights violations in Israel/Palestine.
The infographic below documents some of the worst examples of the administration intimidating and censoring students and faculty who speak in support of Palestinian rights during the past three years. These incidents give much needed context to the recently released report, which calls for restrictions on speech so severe that even its authors acknowledge may "result in legal challenges."

January 2009 – A panel hosted by UCLA's Center for Near Eastern Studies titled "Human Rights & Gaza" features four professors speaking on Operation Cast Lead, the massive Israeli invasion of Gaza. Although not deemed newsworthy at the time, the event is later labeled as disruptive, anti-Semitic & threatening to the Jewish population in several media outlets.
February 2009 - UC Santa Barbara's Academic Senate launches an investigation into Sociology Professor William Robinson and his use of course material referencing the Israeli assault on Gaza in the winter of 2008-9 in his class on global conflicts and struggles.
June 2009 - The widely criticized investigation of Professor Robinson is dropped after 6 months. Investigators find that he acted "in accord with the principles of academic freedom, especially when teaching a class whose content is the sociology of globalization."
February 2010 – A speaking engagement by Israeli ambassador Michael Oren at UC Irvine is interrupted by 11 students protesting Israeli human rights violations who briefly disrupt his speech while walking out. The students, known as the Irvine 11, were arrested and threatened with academic punishments. They also received numerous death threats.
March 2010 - UC Berkeley's SJP proposes a motion to the student government seeking to divest from companies financially involved in the Israeli occupation. Although the motion passes by a large majority (16-4), it is vetoed by the student body president a week later. The UC Regents issue a statement supporting the veto.
May 2010 - In response to the Irvine 11 protest, UC Irvine suspends the Muslim Student Union (MSU), a religious group that facilitates prayer and communal services for all Muslim students on campus. MSU was suspended even though the organization did not endorse the protest, though students who were members of the organization had been involved in the protest.
June 2010 - UC President Mark Yudof appoints an Advisory Council on Campus Climate, Culture and Inclusion, following a number of incidents at UC.
September 2010 - The Third World Mural at UC Davis, which includes a Palestinian flag in the shape of a dove, is defaced and painted over with a Star of David.
October 2010 - The Anti-Defamation League labels Students for Justice in Palestine one of its Top 10 Anti-Israel Groups in America. Other groups on the list include Jewish Voice for Peace and Friends of Sabeel, a Palestinian Christian ecumenical organization that promotes peace and justice for Palestinians.
February 2011 - Just under a year after the protest, the Orange County District Attorney charges the Irvine 11 with two misdemeanor counts of conspiracy to disrupt a meeting and disruption of a meeting.
March 2011 – Tammi Rossman-Benjamin , UC Santa Cruz lecturer and head of AMCHA Initiative, an organization that "combats anti-Jewish bigotry on California campuses," petitions the US Department of Education to investigate "anti-Israel" discourse at UCSC and whether it constitutes a hostile environment for Jewish students.
March 2011 - Jessica Felber, UC Berkeley student, sues the University of California alleging that the UC abets a hostile climate against Jewish students by allowing SJP to protest Israeli policies on campus.
July 2011 - Through the Advisory Council on Campus Climate, Culture and Inclusion, UC President Mark Yudof creates the Campus Climate Investigation.
September 2011 - A court finds the Irvine 11 guilty and the students are ordered to do community service. The defendants appeal the verdict.
November 2011 – Felber's lawsuit against the UC is dismissed, but plaintiffs are allowed to re-file.
November 2011 - In a speech to the Anti-Defamation League, UC President Mark Yudof praises the efforts of UC Irvine Chancellor Michael Drake to impose additional time, place, and manner restrictions on activists protesting human rights violations in Palestine. Drake had directed that his students move their protest to outside his office so that he could personally monitor them.
January 2012 - California State Northridge Professor David Klein is targeted by supporters of Israel for petitioning against study abroad programs in Israel maintained by the California State University (CSU) system.
February 2012 - A silent walkout organized by SJP in protest of an event at UC Davis titled "IDF Soldiers Speak Out" is interrupted by a student not affiliated with SJP. Days later, UC President Yudof writes an open letter to the UC system in which he portrays the SJP as responsible for the disruption and without providing evidence, associates the group with other incidents, including the defacing of an Israeli flag and the hanging of a noose at UC San Diego.
February 2012 - Pro-Israel groups led by Tammi Rossman-Benjamin's AMCHA Initiative attempt but fail to shut down a lecture series by Professor Ilan Pappe at California State and UC campuses.
March 2012 - The AMCHA Initiative asks the UCLA Academic Senate to investigate Professor David Shorter for referencing the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement in a class about indigenous struggles. Academic Senate Chair Andrew Leuchter violates university policy and publically reprimands Shorter.
June 2012 - The California Attorney General declines a petition by the AMCHA Initiative to sue Northridge Professor David Klein for alleged misuse of university resources for hosting online materials about the boycott of Israel using university resources. In declining the petition, the California's Deputy Attorney General wrote that after carefully considering the complaint his office had found "no basis for any action on our part."
July 2012 - The UCLA Academic Senate officially clears Professor Shorter of any wrong doing, finding that the investigation of his course was unmerited and that Academic Senate Chair Leuchter acted inappropriately when accepting the complaint of an outside group.
July 2012 - The re-filed Felber v Yudof case is settled, with the plaintiffs agreeing that the UC was not at any fault, and the UC agreeing to minor changes to campus policies surrounding protests.
July 2012 - Lawyers for Jessica Felber in the Felber v Yudof case, Joel Siegal and Neal Sher, initiate a Title VI complaint with the US Department of Education. The complaint asks the federal government to investigate an alleged climate of hostility against Jewish students on campus stemming from criticism of Israel.
July 2012 - The UC Advisory Council on Campus Climate, Culture and Inclusion releases its Campus Climate reports on Jewish and Arab/Muslim experiences on campus. The Jewish Students report recommends broad censorship to reduce criticism of Israel on campus. The Jewish Students report puts forth highly criticized recommendations for banning certain forms of speech on UC campuses that are deemed critical of Israel.

Resolution defending free speech should be lauded
By Suleiman Hodali
The UC Students Association should be commended for courageously standing in opposition to HR 35, the recently passed California Assembly bill that equates legitimate criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism and seeks to censor free speech and political activism across California's public universities.
It should go without saying that all forms of racism and bigotry, including anti-Semitism, should be vigorously opposed by all members of the University. But one glance at the language of the bill reveals that HR 35 is less concerned with combating bigotry than it is with claiming that criticism of Israeli state policy is anti-Semitic, a position that is strongly opposed by many prominent Jewish groups on both sides of the political spectrum.
HR 35 is an attempt to silence and intimidate the growing student movement for Palestinian equal rights and, more specifically, to stifle the growing Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions campaign against Israel for its continued violations of human rights and international law.
While HR 35 bypasses decades of academic and legal scholarship in order to stifle criticism of Israel at the University (a space whose most intrinsic function is to allow for the free exchange of ideas), groups like Students for Justice in Palestine base their positions on equal rights and international law. We believe that HR 35 is a reaction to the growing public consensus that Israel's behavior towards the Palestinians is wrong.
The brutal military occupation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the systematic discrimination against Palestinians inside Israel's own borders and the denial of the right to return for civilians who endured ethnic cleansing in 1948 are objectionable behaviors that increasing numbers of students are standing up against on campuses across the United States.
The effort to stifle criticism of Israel on campuses has already resulted in attacks on the academic freedom of professors at UCLA and other campuses.
And now, as groups like Students for Justice in Palestine and the National MEChA have endorsed calls for boycott, divestment and sanctions, defenders of Israeli apartheid have become so desperate as to support criminalizing free speech.
The UCSA was quick to respond to this, expressing their "strong opposition to HR 35 and expressing the UCSA's opposition to all racism, whether it be the racism of campus and global anti-Semitism or the racism of Israel's human rights violations, neither of which our campuses should tolerate, support, or profit from."
The UCSA isn't the only group opposed to HR 35 and other attempts to stifle criticism of Israel on campus. California Scholars for Academic Freedom, Jewish Voice for Peace, the Berkeley Free Speech Movement Archives, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, the Asian Law Caucus, the National Lawyers Guild, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the UC Student-Workers Union, Angela Davis and, most recently, David Myers, chair of the UCLA history department, have all weighed in to criticise HR 35 or other similar efforts.
As UC Berkeley spokesman Dan Mogulof put it, "One can object deeply to the policies of Israel. Our students should have a right to protest what they believe to be an unlawful and immoral action."
When our critics oppose fake checkpoints and mock walls on campus because they make students uncomfortable, we remember that the discomfort felt by looking at the wall or seeing a student dressed up as a soldier is just a fraction of the discomfort felt by Palestinians who face real checkpoints, real walls and real soldiers on a daily basis.
When they argue that boycotts are extreme measures, we reply that boycotts are a tactic thatUCLA students have used many times before, most notably to pressure the South African government to abandon its apartheid policies.
And when opponents of Palestinian rights claim that we are singling out Israel for special criticism, we remind them that this was a common claim made by defenders of apartheid in South Africa.
As Desmond Tutu wrote in 2010, "The same issue of equality is what motivates the divestment movement of today, which tries to end Israel's 43-year long occupation and the unequal treatment of the Palestinian people by the Israeli government ruling over them. The abuses they face are real, and no person should be offended by principled, morally consistent, nonviolent acts to oppose them. It is no more wrong to call out Israel in particular for its abuses than it was to call out the Apartheid regime in particular for its abuses."
Hodali is a graduate student in comparative literature and a member of Students for Justice in Palestine at UCLA.
Irvine 11: Where Has Our Freedom of Speech Gone?
The recent criminal convictions of the UC Irvine and Riverside students most popularly known as the Irvine 11 have roused much concern over the historical role of the university as a space for free speech in American society.
Following the Israeli military offensive on the Gaza Strip in the beginning of 2009, a civil protest was put together by the Irvine 11 during a staged speech by Israeli ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, at UCI. Despite immediate discipline imposed against the students by the university, in which an entire student group's activities were suspended for a full year, the Orange County District Attorney's office filed misdemeanor charges against the eleven students for disrupting a meeting and conspiring to disrupt a meeting - almost a year to the day following the protest.
To understand the symbolic agents involved in the tableau of this protest, a focus must be made on the object of protest at hand: a government representative of a country that had just committed what the UN has sanctioned as heinous war crimes – all part of a legacy of war crimes that American tax dollars and tractable politicians have supported unconditionally for decades. In this sense, the Irvine 11 protest is a conventional exemplar of American citizens speaking out, through symbolic free speech, against American complicity in Israel's onslaughts on the most densely populated place on earth. Some of the defendants had lost child-aged relatives in the 22-day long, arbitrary assault on schools, hospitals, factories, and places of religious worship. Over 1400 Palestinians were murdered - many of them children. In a current environment of American public sentiment overwhelmingly hostile to Arab or Muslim visibility, the university has become the last forum for an oft-marginalized experience and silenced voice to be accessed and heard.
Countless events and speakers at this university, with content sympathetic to the plight of Palestinians at the hand of Israel, have been subject to disruptions and derision with no consequences imposed against violators by the university or otherwise. Not only is the criminalization of the Irvine 11 another attempt to silence and intimidate any efforts made to expose Palestinian subjugation to Israeli military occupation, violence, and endless human rights violations, but it is also a clear move by intrusive political forces to employ scare tactics against anyone who wishes to utilize one of the university's traditional functions as a platform for exercising free speech.
It is important that students from all political, cultural, and social affiliations express a symbolic gesture of solidarity with the Irvine 11 - not only for trying to make heard those who would otherwise remain voiceless, but for their courage to preserve the academy as a site for public discourse.
At UCLA, on this National Day of Solidarity with the Eleven, Students for Justice in Palestine, the Muslim Student Association, Afrikan Student Union, Vietnamese Student Union, MEChA, Pacific Islander Student Association, Asian Pacific Coalition, and Samahang Pilipino proudly stand in solidarity with the Irvine 11 and refuse to see student activism silenced on our campus.

Donna Loring, a former police chief and Penobscot Nation representative to the Legislature, will serve as a liaison between the Mills administration and tribal governments.
AUGUSTA — Gov. Janet Mills has taken a step to improve the state's long-strained relations with tribal governments by appointing a former Penobscot Nation police chief and legislative representative to serve as a senior adviser.
Donna Loring of Bradley will act as the liaison between Mills' office and leaders of the four federally recognized tribes in Maine. Loring served 12 years as the Penobscot Nation's representative to the Maine Legislature – including alongside Mills on a legislative committee – and is a former Penobscot police chief and a recent member of the tribal council.
In creating the position of senior adviser on tribal relations, Mills says she wants to send a message that "we're listening" and that her administration is willing to work with tribes on "a new future shaped by mutual trust and respect." Mills said would include important issues such as access to health care, economic development near tribal communities, expanding broadband internet, combating the opioid epidemic and addressing the higher rates of cancer, diabetes and other diseases among those living on reservations.
Loring does not expect tribal-state relations to be fixed overnight, but she views the proposed the liaison position as a potential pathway to better partnerships between the parties.
Loring's appointment is the latest – and perhaps most concrete – sign that Mills wants to hit reset in her dealings with tribes following several tumultuous years when, as Maine's attorney general, she occasionally clashed with them over sovereignty issues.
But relations between the four sovereign tribes in Maine – the Penobscot Nation, the Passamaquoddy Tribe, the Houlton Band of Maliseets and the Aroostook Band of Micmacs – and state government have been frayed for years.
Mills' predecessor, Republican Gov. Paul LePage, issued an executive order during his first year in office directing state agencies to develop policies that recognized tribal sovereignty and to seek out input from tribes on important issues. State agencies also were supposed to designate tribal liaisons.
But LePage rescinded the executive order four years later, accusing the tribes of failing to respect the state's interests. Tribal leaders, in turn, accused the state of failing to respect their governments' sovereignty. The Penobscot Nation and Passamaquoddy Tribe formally withdrew their representatives to the Legislature a month after LePage rescinded the executive order.
Mills also clashed with tribes during her years as attorney general.
She defended the state against a Penobscot Nation lawsuit claiming tribal jurisdiction over the main stem of the Penobscot River, not just the lands and islands that are part of the reservation. As attorney general, Mills also challenged a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency order directing the state to adopt stricter water quality standards in waterways that tribal members rely on for sustenance fishing.
Mills hopes that the Maine Indian Tribal-State Commission – a 13-member body created after the landmark 1980 "settlement agreement" between the tribes and the state – could become a forum for dispute-resolution to avoid future court battles. The commission has been largely inactive for several years because LePage reportedly did not fill vacancies among the six seats held by the state. Mills said she plans to fill the positions.
The governor also said there is always more that can be done to address the serious issues raised by the Maine-Wabanaki State Child Welfare Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which explored how Native children were treated and handled in the child welfare system.
Loring, 70, served as police chief for the Penobscot Nation from 1984 to 1990 and was the first female graduate of the Maine Criminal Justice Academy to serve as a police chief. In addition to serving on the Penobscot Tribal Council and in the Legislature, Loring is an Army veteran who served with the Women's Army Corps near Saigon during the Vietnam War.

Xavier jerseys honor Newtown victims
Xavier honored victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings during its 56-55 loss to Wofford yesterday in Cincinnati.
Instead of their traditional white uniforms with blue trim, the Musketeers wore green-and-white jerseys to honor the school in Newtown, Conn.
The uniforms had "Sandy Hook" stitched across the jersey front, and the school's eagle mascot was visible on the lower left front of the shorts.
"We decided to do this a couple days ago," Coach Chris Mack said. "My good friend Pat Kelsey at Winthrop was very eloquent about what happened."
The university will auction the uniforms at GoXavier.com through Jan. 4. Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Sandy Hook School Support Fund.
McALL DOES IT ALL: In St. Louis, Mike McCall Jr. hit four 3-pointers and finished with 14 points to lead Saint Louis to a 65-44 victory over Loyola Marymount yesterday.
Jordair Jett and Jake Barnett each scored 11 points for the Billikens (8-3), and Dwayne Evans contributed 10 points and nine rebounds.
Anthony Ireland led Loyola Marymount (5-6) with 16 points and eight rebounds.
STONE COLD: In Kansas City, Tyler Stone scored 28 points, including two free throws with 28 seconds left, that gave Southeast Missouri State a 66-65 victory over UMKC yesterday.
Stone was 10 of 17 from the field, was perfect on eight free-throw attempts and added nine rebounds for the Redhawks (8-6).
Nate Rogers had 14 points for the Kangaroos (4-8).

Q: How to sort object in angular js with custom sort order? i want to show array of object's properties in a custom sorted way. following is the array
$scope.weekDays = [
            {
                "day" : "TUESDAY",
                "count": 10
            },
            {
                "day" : "MONDAY",
                "count": 20
            },
            {
                "day" : "WEDNESDAY",
                "count": 30
            },
            {
                "day" : "SUNDAY",
                "count": 60
            }];

if we print day from weekDays it is like TUESDAY, MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, SUNDAY
but i want to show in the order "SUNDAY", "MONDAY", "FRIDAY", "TUESDAY","WEDNESDAY"
for this i did the following
        $scope.orde = ["SUNDAY", "MONDAY", "FRIDAY", "TUESDAY","WEDNESDAY"];

        $scope.Sorted = [];

        $scope.SortCustomOrder = function() {
            var _c =0;
            for(var i = 0; i < $scope.orde.length; i++) {
                for (var _i = 0; _i < $scope.weekDays.length; _i++) {
                    if($scope.weekDays[_i].day==$scope.orde[i]) {
                        $scope.Sorted[_c] = $scope.weekDays[_i];
                        _c++;
                    }
                }
            }
        };

and printed $scope.Sorted. It prints what i said.
Is there any way to simplyfy this or any other mehtods in angularjs?

A: You could use a built-in orderBy filter like this:
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, orderByFilter) {

  $scope.weekDays = [{
    "day": "TUESDAY",
    "count": 10
  }, {
    "day": "MONDAY",
    "count": 20
  }, {
    "day": "WEDNESDAY",
    "count": 30
  }, {
    "day": "SUNDAY",
    "count": 60
  }];

  var dateOrders = ["SUNDAY", "MONDAY", "FRIDAY", "TUESDAY", "WEDNESDAY"];

  $scope.Sorted = orderByFilter($scope.weekDays, function(item) {
    return dateOrders.indexOf(item.day);
  });
});

Example Plunker: http://plnkr.co/edit/IZfiavmZEpHf4hILdjQs?p=preview

A: I've made you a working plunker with an
$scope.weekDays = [
        {
            "id" : 3,
            "day" : "TUESDAY",
            "count": 10
        },
        {
            "id" : 2,
            "day" : "MONDAY",
            "count": 20
        },
        {
            "id" : 4,
            "day" : "WEDNESDAY",
            "count": 30
        },
        {
            "id" : 1,
            "day" : "SUNDAY",
            "count": 60
        }];
$scope.orderedWeekDays = $filter('orderBy')($scope.weekDays, 'id')

http://plnkr.co/edit/WdMQj7dJxuGsR2b9TRvZ?p=preview

A: Well, for all such ordering and filtering operations, i usually go for any available library..
I heavily recommend this one : http://jscriptlinq.codeplex.com/..
It's pretty simple to sort your collection :
var arr = [{id: 'a', pos: 5},
    {id: 'd', pos: 2},
    {id: 'b', pos: 4},

In the 1970s, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau committed to an oil tanker moratorium that would protect the coast and Haida Gwaii from oil spills. While subsequent governments honoured this commitment, the Harper government's disregard for it made the limitations of a non-legislative ban apparent. That's why 45 years later the newly formed Liberal government has resolved to enshrine that commitment in legislation.
The proposed moratorium will encompass the northwest coast from Salish territory in the south to Tlingit territory in the north, including Siigee Dixon Entrance and Kandaliigwii Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound. It will also protect coastal fishing, aquaculture, and tourism industries from economic disaster.
North coast ocean-based industries generate approximately $1.2-billion in revenue each year, providing employment for nearly 30% of the population. This translates into an annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contribution of $700-million. By hosting an oil-shipping facility, coastal people would expose themselves to the danger of a tanker spill, risking their wellbeing and livelihoods. A University of British Columbia study estimated that if there were a high impact tanker spill, then over a 50-year timeline north coast communities could lose up to $300 million in productivity and up to 4,500 person-years of employment. This would cost Canada's GDP up to $200-million.
These considerations do not include the incalculable loses that an oil spill would have upon the social wellbeing, cultural heritage, and ecological wealth of coastal communities.
It is believed that an oil tanker moratorium will essentially kill Enbridge's proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline project. However, the coast remains wide-open to the potential shipping of fracked gas (Liquified Natural Gas) as well as to the continued condensate tanker traffic which already traverses the coast, as these do not qualify as "crude oil".
West Coast Environmental Law has published a short document titled Keeping Our Coast Clean: Frequently asked questions about an oil tanker ban on BC's Pacific North Coast, it is available for download here.

Q: Function to rename column of each dataframe in a list to its dataframe name I have a list of dataframes which have the same structure, but different values. I would like to rename one column in each dataframe to the dataframe name, so I can later merge these single columns into one dataframe, with a factor column.
Say that I wish to rename column 4 in mtcars.
mt1 <- mtcars
mt2 <- mtcars
mt3 <- mtcars

mtlist <- list (m1 = mt1,
                m2 = mt2,
                m3 = mt3)

change_column_name <- function(x) {
  aa <- deparse(substitute(x))
  names(x)[4] <- aa
  return(x)
}

mtlist <- lapply(mtlist, change_column_name)

Instead of renaming column 4 to the dataframe name, it is renamed to X[[i]]. Renaming columns individually in this way outside a function works, so why is it not working when I put it inside a function?

A: Reason is that within lapply your change_column_name is called with each element of X (which is in your case mtlist) that is with X[[i]] for i = 1...3. There are plenty of ways to achieve what you want, one solution would be the following:
mtlist <- list (mt1 = mt1,
                mt2 = mt2,
                mt3 = mt3)

change_column_name <- function(x, aList) {
  dat <- aList[[x]]
  names(dat)[4] <- x
  return(dat)
}

lapply(names(mtlist), change_column_name, mtlist)

A: One way to achieve your expected output would be to pass input to function as list
change_column_name <- function(x) {
   names(x[[1]])[4] <- names(x)
   return(x)
}

lapply(seq_along(mtlist), function(x) change_column_name(mtlist[x]))

Or use Map and pass names seperately
change_column_name <- function(x, y) {
   names(x)[4] <- y
   return(x)
}

Map(change_column_name, mtlist, names(mtlist))

Try to aim your toothbrush bristles beneath the gum line when brushing, so as to help dislocate the bacterial growth and development of sub-gingival plaque and calculus.
Floss behind each tooth in each quarter, and brush daily using a dentist recommended toothbrush.
Herbal extracts from hawthorn berry, echinacea and goldenseal can be made into a tea and used as a mouthwash. Hawthorn berry has a tightening effect on the gums if used over a period of time. Echinacea has anti-microbial properties, which can kill bacteria in the mouth and prevent infection. Goldenseal can be used whenever mouth sores or inflammation starts.
You can treat gingivitis with a mouthwash made from a combination of chamomile, echinacea and myrrh. Folic acid can also be used as a mouth rinse.
Sometimes a periodontal disease natural cure is not enough, especially for severe cases which might require surgery.


This one will be at the shop for several months on display (and kits are available!) so I may have to make another to use in the meantime!
I love the sense of accomplishment with these smaller projects. My quilts tend to be large and involved, so it takes a while to get to completion. How about you, have you made any bags? Any other smaller projects you like to do to get that sense of a "finish", more often?
Cute bag. Love the colors and fabrics.
I also need that sense of accomplishment now and then with smaller projects that are done quickly. I made a couple doll quilts at Christmas for our granddaughter and her cousin, and I'm working a smaller cheddar + crackers quilt that's showing up on several blogs here and there.
Finishing a wall hanging or a table runner in the middle of work on larger projects gives me a "tah-dah" feeling that I need periodically.
This is a great bag pattern. I like it for two reasons. First, my bags MUST zip closed at the top. I've heard enough warnings about pickpockets grabbing the contents of open bags that I want to be sure the stuff inside is protected. And second, I like that it has inside and outside pockets. Your fabric selection is great too. I'm not a "kit" person though – never have and never will buy one. I want what I make to be original. Even if it's a pattern others have made, I want to make mine look unique. That said, is the pattern available as a separate purchase?
Okay, THAT is a really great little bag. I love the fabrics!
That is a cool and stylish bag! I love the use of piping and that outside pocket. Bags are my favorite sewing project because of the variety and the time commitment. I also making mini quilts because they are a small project and fast finish.

Impossible is not Mérieux: 5,000 homeless people supported by 100 companies in the Lyon metropolitan area by the end of 2022
Harry Rivers December 13, 2021 4 min read
Alain Mérieux put as much energy into trying to eradicate the scourge of the homeless in the Lyon metropolitan area as he put into his businesses. With a convincing result. He succeeded in creating a very effective bridge of solidarity between the business world and associations working in the field. A response to the drift of financial capitalism by giving meaning to the hundred companies now behind the Mérieux banner. With a real possibility of success …
Like another Lyonnais, Abbé Pierre, but as far as he is concerned in front of an audience of 2,000 business leaders gathered in January 2019 during the Company Day of the CPME, Halle Tony Garnier, Alain Mérieux had launched a call to the bosses of SMEs and VSEs present to support it aiming, an apparently insurmountable objective, to eradicate in Lyon the great precariousness within the Lyon metropolitan area.
Where are we almost three years later?
Well, according to its general delegate, Patrick Lepagneul, l'Entreprise des Possibles, the association created for this purpose by Alain Mérieux, is now in full swing. It is even, according to him, in the process of reaching the critical size that will allow it to achieve its objectives.
To the 3,000 homeless people supported since its creation, should be added next year, 2,000 more.
Most recent: Institut Paul Bocuse
This critical size has been reached because the Entreprise des Possibles has just acquired its hundredth member company: the Institut Paul Bocuse. A doubling in one year.
"This dynamic allows us, with our partner associations, to bring out structuring and long-term projects essential to come to the aid of the homeless and which, by their innovative character, meet needs that are currently unsatisfied", according to the report. assessment drawn by Alain Mérieux himself.
For him, the great success of the concept he set up is that "our movement is accompanied by a decompartmentalization between the economic, associative and public worlds, with the deployment of multi-actor projects which mobilize all the driving forces of the metropolis. "
The big boss of Lyon has succeeded in ensuring that the business world, including employees, has succeeded in connecting with the associative world.
Actors or academics as well-known as Olympique Lyonnais, UCLy, EMLyon business school, Holding Textile Hermès and many others have joined the movement.
Paid vacation donations
The mobilization of employees of member companies through the donation of paid vacation passed the symbolic milestone of one million euros in 2021. This has enabled the association's resources to be almost doubled in one year.
A total of 2.5 million euros have been devoted to projects in the field since the creation of the Entreprise des Possibles in early 2019. And for the year 2022 alone, 1.1 million euros will be allocated to 18 new projects.
Thus in 2022, these new projects will help 2,000 additional people, among whom 400 will find a home.
These announced projects target the priority audiences of the Entreprise des Possibles: women in the street with or without children and young people in great precariousness. Needs today very poorly covered.
L'Entreprise des Possibles has also chosen to work with other audiences such as the marginalized.
For all of these homeless people, it is about shelter and accommodation, but also in a more global approach, support for social and professional integration, access to care, support for parenthood, nutrition and prevention of the passage to the streets of young people.
One example among others put in place by the structure launched by Alain Mérieux: "the Halte des Femmes" which provides a response to a social scandal. Today, nearly 100 women leave maternity homes each year without a housing solution in the Lyon metropolitan area and have to live with their newborns with precarious solutions, sometimes even in the street.
The Halte des Femmes, a project co-led with the Alynea association, has made it possible since November 2021 to welcome these women before or after their childbirth, to offer them a secure home and appropriate support.
Often socially innovative projects
To plug the holes in the social racket, and there are many, the Entreprise des Possibles, thanks to its flexibility of operation, has succeeded in implementing innovative solutions which, without it, would not have seen the light of day.
In his last work devoted to the crisis of capitalism, the Chief Economist of Bank Natexis, Patrick Artus, not really labeled a revolutionary … castigated the lack of meaning of said capitalism, its propensity to increase inequalities, to destroy the environment, believing that without deep questioning, he was running to his doom.
Alain Mérieux's action contributes to this rehabilitation of capitalism by giving back a meaning to the societal role of the company, well forgotten in the past decades, but it is true that it has been put back in the saddle in recent years by the arrival in the entrepreneurial landscape of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility).
It remains to be seen whether the Mérieux social revolution will emulate other cities, other metropolises …

Trinidad and Tobago's opposition leader wants his country's government to help avoid an economic collapse in Grenada.
Dr Keith Rowley has made a call for action from his government against the backdrop of Grenada's indebtedness to Taiwan; an issue that recently threatened the closure of Maurice Bishop International Airport (MBIA) in St George's.
The opposition People's National Movement (PNM) leader told reporters in Port of Spain that Trinidad and Tobago cannot turn a blind eye and allow the economy of Grenada to collapse.
"We have an interest in ensuring the Grenadian economy is not derailed by that dispute," he said.
After reading this, I am reminded of the saying….'when your neighbour's house is on fire, take water and wet yours." Dominica take note!!
Construction of the international airport was started by the Cubans during the revolutionary government, and completed by the Americans after 1983 invasion.
Remember! The UWP wanted the Labour Party to maintain ties with Taiwan instead of China.
see what could happen if we recklessly take a loan to build an international airport which cant repay itself? Examples of our neighbors struggling with their international airports yet ignorant people think its the way to go. smfh.
yea but the issue here did not say that the loan was to build an international airport,is this what that is all about?,because as we have always learned that grenada airport was an old millitary air strip from since world war two,and the cubans had build or enhance it,during maurice bishop days.
We will build an international-airport when we have the money.
But until then, NO international-airport in the book.
Dominica will forever remain backward. Keep the country as it is with all the bush. why dont we just go live in de bush because that is all the is prevalent in DA it seems. People leaving secondary school with subjects and have to battle for a job as a cashier at a supermarket. There are no incentives encouraging young people, and even the older ones with some money, to start their own businesses. The place is so heavily under populated; people are forced to live a country like Dominica and live in places like Antigua!! Give me a break. Regardless to which political party that is in power, the place will forever remain the same. No body want change. Cut down a few damn trees, construct the international airport – get traffic (visitors) into the country. If we not exporting and are unable to attract visitors where we going to get money for development? I am sick sick sick and tired of the state of Dominica. The place just not moving forward.
That's what happen when you just want people to give you money for free. There is no free lunch. Its a pity its not the politrickters that pay for these 'mistakes'.
I hope DA doesn't find itself in similar situatation with China. We seem to have a lot of "made in China" or better yet, "paid for by China" while we don't have any idea of what is in the MOU. Let's becarsful DA!

How many herbs are there in the World?
There are thousands of known herbs in the world, and new ones are still being discovered. Herbs are defined as plants that are used for medicinal, culinary, or other practical purposes. Many different types of plants can be considered herbs, including flowers, shrubs, trees, and even some types of algae.
In addition to traditional Chinese medicine, herbs are also used in other traditional medicine systems around the world, such as Ayurveda, Western herbalism, and African traditional medicine. Each of these systems has its own unique set of herbs, which can overlap but also differ.
It's hard to give a precise number of herbs known in the world, as the number is always changing and different regions might have different classification and terminology for the plants. But it's safe to say that there are thousands of different herbs that have been used throughout history and continue to be used today.

HomeArts/Entertainment"Frozen 2": An icy tale that will warm your heart
"Frozen 2": An icy tale that will warm your heart
Arts/Entertainment, Showcase
By Julia Wengier | Editor in Chief
"Frozen 2" was released on November 22, perfect for SCHS students beginning their Thanksgiving Break. As a sequel to the popular movie "Frozen," the film was highly anticipated among viewers of all ages.
Focused on seeking the truth, "Frozen 2" stars Anna (Kristen Bell) and Elsa (Idina Menzel) journey into an enchanted forest in hopes to save the kingdom of Arendelle. Many beloved favorites from the original movie return as well, including Olaf (Josh Gad), Kristoff (Jonathan Groff), and Sven. The movie has an all-new soundtrack, and branches out into new realms of the "Frozen" universe: a land of spirits, more insight into younger Anna and Elsa, and more backstory of their parents.
The cinematography makes the film a must-see, with aesthetically pleasing colors and effects highlighting its overall seasonal emphasis. New costumes, hairstyles, settings, characters, plot elements, and songs all separate "Frozen 2" from the original film in 2013, but many were surprised to find out that the music does not live up to the former movie's reputation. Although they are well-written, the new songs are not as stand-alone, making it challenging for them to achieve the same sense of a karaoke style as those from "Frozen."
Overall, the movie explores themes of truth, being true to oneself, change, courage, and the strength of family. Since the first movie, Olaf grew intellectually, now aware of both random trivia and of his inevitable doom. He provides both comic relief and important realizations to the audience (for instance, that enchanted forests mean transformation), while remaining everyone's favorite sidekick. The relationship between Kristoff and Anna grows, while Elsa grows as a strong, independent woman who "found herself."
"Frozen 2" is an emotional, delightful sequel for "Frozen" lovers, with a slightly underwhelming soundtrack, but illuminating visuals and refreshing new characters and settings.

Biografia
Giannotto era figlio di Lorenzo Berardi, fondatore di una compagnia commerciale coinvolta nella tratta degli schiavi neri dall'Africa. Dal padre apprese il mestiere di mercante ma decise di occuparsi di importazione di pellame e legno, beni fondamentali durante l'età delle scoperte.

Nel 1485 inizia a gestire la filiale di Siviglia del Banco dei Medici su richiesta di Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de' Medici. A causa di un rapido incremento degli affari, Berardi chiese l'invio di una persona per aiutarlo a portare avanti l'attività. La persona scelta per questo compito fu il suo amministratore di famiglia: Amerigo Vespucci.

Nel 1492 finanziò il primo viaggio di Cristoforo Colombo ed è probabile che nelle fasi di allestimento della spedizione Vespucci ebbe modo di incontrare e parlare con l'ammiraglio genovese.

Nel 1495 Giannotto muore e Vespucci è costretto a liquidare l'azienda per rimborsare i danni causati da un naufragio di una spedizione allestita poco tempo prima.

Oklahoma City jail improving amid record low population
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Public officials say the declining population at the county jail in Oklahoma City is easing several problems.
Oklahoma County Commission Chairman Brian Maughan tells The Oklahoman that the jail's population was at a record low of 1,560 as of Wednesday.
Commissioner Ray Vaughn says the smaller population is allowing renovation and cleaning of prisoner pods to progress. He says mold continues to be extensive due to leaking water pipes that'll cost $5 million to replace.
Maughan says staff morale and turnover are also improving.
The jail has been troubled with structural and operational problems since it opened in 1991. It also came under federal oversight in 2009 for civil rights violations.
The U.S. Justice Department has said it plans to conduct an inspection of the jail early next year.

How to Use the Google NOFOLLOW Attribute in SEO
Nofollow Attribute in 2023: Good or Bad for SEO?
In 2005, Google introduced the nofollow attribute. The original idea behind nofollow was to allow websites to link to external sources while giving Google the signal not to trust them. As a result, Google would not follow the link and ignore it. However, this feature has been abused so often that Google has been treating the nofollow attribute differently since 2015.
It's always the same in SEO: If too many SEOs begin to abuse a certain tactic that seems to improve keyword rankings, Google will act on it. This is no different with the nofollow attribute, and how Google now treats it. Here are the key features of how nofollow is used and how Google will respond to your nofollow attributes in 2023.
Everything Nofollow?
Some website owners have configured their CMS in a way so almost all outbound links have the nofollow attribute assigned automatically. In this case, Google will assume the attribute has been "abused" in order to prevent passing the site's trust to other sources. Ultimately, Google will check if these sources are in fact untrustworthy or not, and setting all links to nofollow won't fool Google anymore.
The algorithm works according to the following criteria: It checks if other website administrators also set a nofollow to these links. If the answer is no, Google will conclude that the nofollow attributes serves only one purpose: to send Google a false signal to create an SEO advantage. SEMRush reports in their article "Are Nofollow Links Actually Good For SEO?" that the quota of nofollow attributes should never be more than 20-40% for a website.
Only A Few Links Have Dofollow
If website owners only put a dofollow on a few links and everything else has a nofollow, your website will be flagged by Google. Such patterns are found on sites that usually sell links, mostly hidden in blogs and other forms of articles. Selling backlinks is a violation of Google's Guidelines. Google has been using sophisticated techniques to identify artificial link farms and purchased links since the Florida Update in 2003.
The simplest method for Google to find out whether you are running a blackhat backlink strategy is to check the historical development of backlinks. Imagine that from one day to another, your website suddenly gets a lot of backlinks — and it all happens without reason. For example, you know you didn't hit a home run with a viral article, but there are now thousands of links pointing to your site. Google will raise the flag. It's very easy for Google to find out automatically that a backlink strategy has been initiated. I wrote about this already in the follow article: Building Backlinks with Google in 2023.
A manual action by Google is to be expected in such cases, which can lead up to 90% traffic loss or more. The linked site is also negatively affected: Now that Google knows that articles with links are often bought, articles with dofollow links no longer get the ranking boost they would normally receive.
How To Use Nofollow Properly
The two most important principles are relevance and trustworthiness. If the link is relevant to the article or content and the source is to be trusted, then the nofollow attribute should not be used.
Here's an example: Above, I referred to the article written by SEMRush. If I had linked to the article using a nofollow attribute, I would have given Google the wrong signal that the link was untrustworthy. But Google would know that SEMRush is one of the most trusted sources on the web and therefore would identify my nofollow as abusive. Also, the article from SEMRush is relevant because it mentions the same topic as I do in this article. Google recognizes the relevancy between the two articles due to their Topic Detection Algorithms. A nofollow attribute would not have made sense here.
It is also true in 2023 that with each additional link, the trust is inherited from its own website to the linking source. This means that your own trust decreases with every link — Google's PageRank Algorithm is still valid today in 2023.
So, what if you do not want to pass on the trust?
If you are stingy and do not want to give a trust to another web source, you should not insert a link at all, rather than use the nofollow attribute.
Using the example above you can see that no link has been placed when referring to the SEMRush article. This way, this article can't be flagged by Google as far as it concerns backlinking: Google does not pay attention to the correct or incorrect use of a nofollow if you don't use links at all. The disadvantage in this case is the user experience. If you don't use links, you are taking away convenience.
Nofollow Conclusion
Not putting nofollow at all is just as damaging as putting nofollows all the time on links.
The days are over when Nofollow was the perfect solution to not pass on SEO trust: Google has already responded to this with updates since 2015.
The basic principle of the Internet and the breeding ground for search engines are links. It was already clear that Google would put an end to the nofollow game when the introduction of the nofollow attribute raised critical concerns. However, it took 10 years for nofollow to be abused by a critical mass of users and websites for Google to respond with an update.
In my article "Wikipedia SEO: The Invisible Power Game" I wrote that Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute in all their articles. Back then in 2013, Wikipedia didn't have to fear any consequences from Google for their abuse of the nofollow attribute. As a result, millions of articles on Wikipedia were ranked first on Google.
Due to the new update, Google has punished even Wikipedia for their nofollow links. Anyone wondering why Wikipedia with their topics and terms no longer occupy the higher ranks on Google will now know better: Wikipedia has still been abusing the nofollow links strategy to this day.
Due to the size of Wikipedia, this fact may be irrelevant for them. Like many portals that have grown into giants, whether they perform well with SEO no longer matters. However, if your website is not on the list of the top 100 websites on the Internet, you cannot afford to use the nofollow attribute incorrectly.

Lack of coaching consistency leads to a Titans loss.
What the Titans did (very) wrong this week.
By Will Lomas Oct 5, 2014, 3:48pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Lack of coaching consistency leads to a Titans loss.
Joe Robbins
So, everyone just witnessed the crushing loss against the Cleveland Browns at home, and before anyone screams for player changes, lets look at the coaches.
I am not going to get super technical here, because this situation doesn't really warrant that level of intellect. The Titans were up by 25 at one point after showing a commitment to jumbo packages (two TEs one of whom was Taylor Lewan) and running the ball at a pretty good clip.
However, after the Titans got whatever the opposite of a motivating halftime speech is, they came out and decided that the most efficient way to score and keep the lead was to pass the ball as often as they could...wait...that can't be right. Nope, I just checked again, that is actually what they did.
I don't think it is fair to second guess coaches during a game because they see things that most fans (even avid ones) don't, and they talk to the players and ask them what is working. However this is a situation where the solution to how to end the game was so blatantly obvious that the question deserves to be asked: what were they thinking?
The good thing about this game is that is showed that we still do have talented players on this roster. Justin Hunter had an exceptional catch and run on 3rd and 10 that moved the chains, and then put that play to shame with a 75 yard catch and run soon after.
Kendall Wright had his first two touchdown game of his career, including a nice post in the back of the endzone.
Bishop Sankey was good, yet again, despite limited use. He had a run of nine and a run of eight, but failed to get enough reps to really break through.
Delanie Walker and Nate Washington also looked back to their old form as reliable pass catchers.
Sammie Hill was a bright spot on the defense and got his hands up to deflect two passes, including one on fourth down that would have been a touchdown.
Jake Locker did look good, but also looked injured. I think fans might get there wish of more Mettenberger in the future if Locker can't stay healthy and Whitehurst continues to disappoint.

Chapter 22 - Noisy and individual, but doable: Shift-work research in humans

Working around the clock is common for many occupations, as diverse as nurses, truck drivers, physicians, steel workers, and pilots. Each shift-work profession is individual in more aspects than just work hours and individual work scenarios, each posing a different impact on the health of workers. Related health problems in shift workers, therefore, are also diverse and encompass sleep problems, metabolic and cardiovascular system disturbances, as well as cancer. Little is known about how all these individual factors influence a shift worker's health status, partly because many shift-work studies show inconsistent results. In addition, these individual factors create many methodological difficulties for researchers who investigate such work scenarios. This chapter presents examples from our laboratory and field studies of shift workers, which emphasize the importance of taking individual circumstances into account. Both study approaches, laboratory and field based, are needed to fully account for the difficulties that shift-work studies pose on both workers and researchers. Finally, understanding the mechanisms that underpin interindividual differences in response to shift work will advance our understanding of how to design better and healthier shift-work schedules in the future.

AMSOIL Oil Filters have the best efficiency rating in the industry. The Filters provide a filtering efficiency in accordance with industry standard ISO 4548-12 of 98.7 percent at 15 microns, while competitive filters containing conventional cellulose medias range from 40 to 80 percent efficiency.
AMSOIL Oil Filters have significantly lower restriction than conventional cellulose media filters. Their small synthetic nanofibers trap smaller particles and hold more contaminants, resulting in lower restriction. During cold temperature warm-up periods, a lube filter allows the oil to easily flow through the filter compared to a typical cellulose filter. Lower restriction decreases engine wear.
A filter's capacity refers to the amount of contaminants it can hold and still remain effective. AMSOIL EaO Filters have a far greater capacity than competing filter lines. When used in conjunction with AMSOIL synthetic motor oils in normal service, EaO Filters are guaranteed to remain effective for 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first.
AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters are made with premium-grade full synthetic media. The strictly controlled processing of this media ensures accurate filter construction, and is what allows Ea Oil Filters to deliver higher capacity and efficiency along with better durability.
Over the service life of a conventional cellulose filter, hot oil will degrade the resins that bind the media. The Ea Oil Filters' full synthetic media technology is resin-free. It uses a wire screen backing that is pleated with the media for superior strength.
Ea Oil Filters are constructed with HNBR nitrile gaskets that are fully tested to extreme distances in numerous severe environments. The filters also feature fully tucked seams, a molded element seal, roll-formed threads and a long-lasting premium-grade silicone anti-drain valve.


I love a mix'n'match lunch with some sweet and savoury flavours, and Arnott's Cruskits and Vita-Weat are the perfect base to create any combination on! Cruskits have on average 60% less carbs than bread on a 2-slice comparison and Vita-Weat are made with 100% wholegrains and have 25% less kilojoules on average than 2 slices of regular bread (vs 4 crispbreads) - making them a wholesome and healthy lighter lunch choice which still fills you up. Here are my top ten favourite toppings to have on my Vita-Weat and Cruskits at lunch time...or anytime!
Salted crunchy peanut butter and fresh raspberry - think PB&J!
Almond butter, peaches and blueberries - a personal fave!

Filmmaker revisits Bowie to document final years
This image released by HBO shows the late music legend David Bowie in a scene from the documentary, "David Bowie:The Last Five Years," which debuted Jan. 8 on HBO. ( Jimmy King/ HBO via AP)
NEW YORK — After British filmmaker Francis Whately captured David Bowie in his 2013 film, "David Bowie: Five Years," he thought documenting the life of his musical hero was complete. Turns out he was mistaken.
The end of Bowie's life was equally interesting to Whately as he centers on the artist's final projects in the new HBO documentary, "David Bowie: The Last Five Years." It started airing this week, which marks two years since Bowie died at age 69.
"It was only after his sort of untimely passing that the BBC approached me again and said, 'Would I do another film?' And initially I was wary of doing anything else because I felt I'd already made a film, while not being completely definitive, did look at the key years of his career certainly up to the 1980s," he said.
The first documentary covered five significant years in Bowie's career, which included the creation of Ziggy Stardust in 1971 and his 1983 commercial success, "Let's Dance," but Whately found something intriguing about his later days.
"A period of his life that was of the most interest was those last five years when he returned after his heart attack from some kind of seclusion and … (was) back in the spotlight in some way even though he didn't give any interviews," Whately said.
The second documentary focuses on Bowie's final two albums — "The Next Day" and "Blackstar" — as well as the stage play "Lazarus," which took its inspiration from the 1976 film, "The Man Who Fell to Earth," which starred Bowie.
"Lazarus" made its debut weeks before Bowie died in January 2016. The score consists of the artist's music throughout his career, including selections from his last two albums.
In the music video for the song "Lazarus" from his final album, Bowie seems to foreshadow his own death. He's shown lying in a bed with his face in bandages and with coat buttons for eyes. The video, directed by Johan Renck, was shot after Bowie learned he had terminal cancer and decided to end treatment.
Whately said the music video can be construed as Bowie saying goodbye, but when it comes to the stage play of the same name, "I don't think it's that simple."
"The subject matter is interesting, but does it prophesize that this was his way of saying goodbye? I'm not sure it does," he said.

Birds of prey, also known as raptors, hunt and feed on other animals. The term "raptor" is derived from the Latin word rapere (meaning to seize or take by force). These birds are characterized by keen vision that allows them to detect prey during flight and powerful talons and beaks.
Many species of birds may be considered partly or exclusively predatory. However, in ornithology, the term "bird of prey" applies only to birds of the families listed below. Taken literally, the term "bird of prey" has a wide meaning that includes many birds that hunt and feed on animals and also birds that eat very small insects. In ornithology, the definition for "bird of prey" has a narrower meaning: birds that have very good eyesight for finding food, strong feet for holding food, and a strong curved beak for tearing flesh. Most birds of prey also have strong curved talons for catching or killing prey. An example of this difference in definition, the narrower definition excludes storks and gulls, which can eat quite large fish, partly because these birds catch and kill prey entirely with their beaks, and similarly bird-eating skuas, fish-eating penguins, and vertebrate-eating kookaburras are excluded. Birds of prey generally prey on vertebrates, which are usually quite large relative to the size of the bird. Most also eat carrion, at least occasionally, and vultures and condors eat carrion as their main food source. Many raptor species are considered apex predators.
In the Star Trek franchise, the Klingon Empire makes use of several classes of starships. As the Klingons are portrayed as a warrior culture, driven by the pursuit of honor and glory, the Empire is shown to use warships almost exclusively and even their support ships, such as troop transports and colony ships, are armed for battle. This contrasts with the exploration and research vessels used by Starfleet, the protagonists of the franchise. The first Klingon ship design used in The Original Series, the D7-class battlecruiser, was designed by Matt Jefferies to evoke a shape akin to that of a manta ray, providing a threatening and instantly recognizable form for viewers. The configuration of Jefferies's design featured a bulbous forward hull connected by a long boom to a wing-like main hull with the engine nacelles mounted on each wingtip. Though a variety of Klingon ships have appeared in Star Trek, their design generally conforms to this style. Most Klingon vessels were physically built as scale models, although later computer-generated imagery was used to create the models. In recent years, many of the original studio models have been sold at auctions.
Bird of prey refers to several species of carnivorous birds. The term is often used metaphorically.
