2. What level of budget contribution should be enabled?
3. No guarantee to be effective as Council Member in respect for democracy and human rights.
4. Why should the issue of equitable representation decided by geography? Why not by levels of economic development?
5. Why not to give more seats to members of developing world?
All the above mentioned criteria which were adopted bud not universally accepted. Hence, the difficulties were involved.
11. Though the UN has failed in preventing wars and related miseries, nations prefer its continuation. What makes the UN an indispensable organisation?
Answer: 1. Interdependence and globalisation is not possible without the international organisations such as the UN.
2. To enforce cooperation on the issues of poverty, unemployment, environmental degradation, crime rate etc.
3. To provide financial assistance to developing countries to stabilise economy all over the world,, the UN and its specialised agencies are always required.

12. "Reforming the UN means restructuring of the Security Council". Do you agree with this statement? Give arguments for or against this position.
Answer: Yes, we agree with the statement because Security Council plays a crucial role in functioning of the UN. In today's scenario power equations have been changed with the disintegration of USSR and many new countries are entering into the UN:
1. The UN charter has given a privileged position to permanent members to bring stability all over the world. This position remains the same and no one is allowed to enter.
2. Except permanent members enjoy veto power to be placed in a valuable position.
3. Permanent members category is from industrialised developed country which should be balanced by enhancing representation from developing countries to become either permanent or non-permanent members.
4. Hence, Security Council should reform and improve its working to make the UN more effective i.e., inclusion of member states should be judged on the basis of contribution to peace keeping initiatives.

Review: Lazarus #1-2
by Stephanie Haley in Comics, Image, Review
This week marked the release of the second issue of a new series from Image Comics, Lazarus, by Greg Rucka, Michael Lark, & Santi Arcas. Lazarus takes place in a future where there are no more political or geographical nations, but rather nations built around wealth and "Family." Each Family has a certain number of workers who provide them with basic labor. These people are called "Serfs." All other people (ie the majority of the human population on Earth) are considered "Waste." In addition, each Family choses one child to serve as their "lazarus," a soldier that protects and fights for the Family. This super-soldier is given the absolute best that science and technology has to offer.
The first issue sets the basic groundwork for the story and the main character, Forever, the "Lazarus" of the Carlyle family. After an incident on the Carlyle farm involving an invasion from another Family (Morray), Malcolm Carlyle summons all of his children, including Forever, to the family estate in order to determine the next course of action. That is where Issue #2 picks up.
As always, Greg Rucka delivers in a big way. The first issue is mostly set-up so the majority of the character development is focused on Forever. She is, as one would expect, more than just a killing machine. She feels regret and remorse, emotions that other members of the Carlyle family would clearly prefer their Lazarus not to feel. I loved the additional development of other characters in the second issue, especially Malcolm Carlyle. I cannot wait to see where Rucka takes Forever and her relationships with her family members.
I also love the idea behind the story. Rucka does not go into too much detail in the first issue as to how society broke down from nations designated by geography/politics to nations designated by wealth/Families. I don't think he needs to right away. Honestly, this is not a future that is too difficult to envision, especially given a post-apocalyptic type environment (it is revealed in the second issue that Los Angeles was mostly destroyed in an earthquake). In his epilogue at the end of the first issue, Rucka states that the idea for this series was partially inspired by the Occupy Movement and the general state of the global economy. He then proceeds to detail all of the research on economics and science that he put together before May 2013 (when he wrote the epilogue). As Rucka states, "It's not news to say that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. What is news is just how stark that divide has become, and how much deeper and wider it looks to grow." Keeping this statement in mind, I think it is fascinating to explore a world in which this divide has grown so vast that the majority of humanity is viewed as "waste" with only the extremely wealthy controlling food, power, etc. While the subject matter is extremely dark, I am very excited to see whatever glimmers of hope (if there are any) that may be revealed within this bleak future that Rucka and Lark envision.
Furthermore, the art in Lazarus is gorgeous. Lazarus reunites Rucka with Michael Lark. The two previously worked together on Gotham Central (another amazing series that everyone should check out at some point, especially fans of Batman stories). Lark's art is realistic and detailed without losing the feel of comic book art. Perhaps one of the characteristics I love most about his illustrations are the eyes of his characters. The story moves so quickly it might be easy to miss on the first read-through, but try to look at the eyes of the characters in each panel. They oftentimes say more than whatever is written in the word balloons.
Only two issues in and I am hooked. I highly recommend this series to anyone who is a fan of strong female characters and post-apocalyptic story lines. If you have not read any books by Greg Rucka yet, Lazarus is a perfect place to start.

GitHub - networknt/openapi-bundler: A utility that merges multiple OpenAPI specification files into a single file with all external references resolved to local reference.
A utility that merges multiple OpenAPI specification files into a single file with all external references resolved to local reference.
Want to be notified of new releases in networknt/openapi-bundler?
A utility that merges multiple OpenAPI files into a single file with all external references resolved to local component references.
OpenAPI is becoming the de-facto REST API specification, and a lot people have adopted it to write their RESTful API spec.
For small APIs, it is acceptable to have a single OpenAPI definition file, however for a large scale API project, it is hard to manage multiple API specifications together.
For an organization with too many APIs, it is very natural to define sharable object definitions in separate files in order to avoid duplications and foster consistency across an organization. With multiple files inter-connected together to form one API specification, the directory structure and external references are too complicated to manage.
Luckily, there are a lot of tools like editors, parsers and bundlers in the market that support multiple files. These tools can bundle multiple YAML files together to create a final version in JSON or YAML format and de-reference external dependencies.
As our light-rest-4j framework encourages a contract driven design approach, the specification should be created before coding starts. Actually, if the spec is ready, you can use light-codegen to generate the project.
The generator for light-rest-4j generates also the object model (POJO) from the openapi.json where objects are defined in the specification. In addition, light-rest-4j requires the final version of the openapi.json to be included into the service code to do runtime schema validation as well as OAuth 2.0 scope verification at runtime.
This requires that the final version of openapi.json is self-contained and all models should be defined in the components section instead of being de-referenced inline.
Existing bundlers such as swagger-cli cannot handle our specification files correctly, therefore the need arises to create a generally re-usable bundler for OpenAPI definitions.
The tool validates bundled API specifications and offers also independent validation functionality.
If the remote reference is not an object, it will be resolved inline in the generated openapi.json file.
If you have separate reference files, you must place these files into the same folder your openapi.yaml, or relative to that folder. For example, if you have common folder that contains all the common OpenAPI files, you might need to copy the common folder into your folder that contains openapi.yaml for your API.
If the reference is an object in components, it will resolve all the remote references in definitions.
If the reference is not an object, an error will occur and the process will exit.
The bundler assumes that the input file is openapi.yaml and all the remote reference files are in the right path.
Usage: [options] operation: The operation to be performed.
Another way to run the bundler is from an IDE. Just set the folder of the openapi.yaml file as a program argument and you can easily debug into it.
There is a Docker image that is published to Docker Hub.
Here is the command line to call it.
With above command line, you can easily build a script to call it as part of your DevOps flow.

[NEWS] :Tonto Dikeh cries profusely as she talks about her failed marriage, says she is aware that Rosey Meurer is sleeping with her husband
13:43 TRENDING NEWS UPDATE
In an exclusive interview with media personality, Azuka Ogujiuba, actress Tonto Dikeh wept as she spoke about her failed marriage to her estranged husband, Oladunni Churchill. According to Tonto, she does not regret her marriage and didn't grant the interview to discredit her ex-husband. She stated that she indeed suffered domestic violence while she was with Churchill
"The domestic violence is real. How I lived to suffer it and go through it over and over again, I do not understand. Alot of people have blamed me. A lot of people have said a lot of things. I stayed back in my marriage, not because of my child, but because I loved my husband with all of my heart. I stayed because he begged me to stay a couple of times. I stayed because I just didn't want to give up. I didn't want to give up on the marriage just like that." Watch the video after the cut...
She shared photos and even a video of herself after she was physically abused by her ex husband. Tonto says sometime ago when they were in Ghana, she had to run to the Nigerian Embassy after he had physically abused her
"I also have pictures in Ghana. The Nigerian embassy in Ghana has pictures of me. I had to run to them at some point. The reason I can't release those pictures is because I was stark naked. My husband has humilated me so much and for anybody to tell me I am lying against my husband, that even hurts me more".
Tonto says if she had her way, she would love to delete everything about herself on the internet because of her child
"If I had my way, I would like to delete everything. I would like to delete my whole existence because of my child because I know that the internet never dies. He is going to grow up, he is going to read them and it is going to hurt him.
The mother of one says associating her with drugs is the most hurtful misconception people have of her.
"Something that has really hurt me in recent times is someone associating me with drugs as a mother. That hurt me so much because nobody sees how good of a mother I am. Nobody knows the sacrifices I have made for my son. I do a drug test almost every month. I write a letter to my son every month on his birthday about how much he has changed my life, how much he has made me a better person, about how I have stopped so many things for him. That really destroyed me. That really broke me into a million pieces. That is the worst thing I have heard".
Tonto says she is aware that her ex-husband PA, Rosey Meurer is sleeping with him
"I am aware of her. I am aware she is sleeping with my husband. I am aware my husband is taking care of her. I am also aware that she is the reason why my husband abandoned his son with me for close to two months just before the big foundation thing we did in December because he took her on a trip. No she is not my husband's sister. My husband is not her brother. She doesn't know me. I have never spoken to my husband about her before but I do know their story and I do know that they are in love. It is not just a mere relationship. I have picrtures of them being on a trip abroad together, that is something my husband has never done for me or his family. Where that hurts me more was that I watched my husband make every single dime that he owns. I know the sacrifices that I have made for my family. All I expect was for him to be good to his family. Women are not the porblem I have with husband"she said
She denied allegations that she physically assaulted her mother in-law.

The Poolie, Southwest Airline's cabin trainer, fills with smoke during a demonstration of how to evacuate a burning plane. Daniel Terdiman/CNET
DALLAS -- Someone yelled, "Crash!"and the flight attendants began screaming. "Heads down! Stay down! Release seat belts! Leave everything!"
As the cabin filled with smoke, the crew herded passengers to the exit and onto the emergency slide. They were incredulous I was still sitting.
I was too distracted to escape. I was busy taking notes.
The Boeing 737 wasn't real, and this wasn't a real accident. This was the Poolie, Southwest Airlines' cabin trainer, a mockup plane named for longtime in-flight training leader Sandy Poole. For years, flight attendant trainees and other crew members have come here to learn how to handle passengers -- and what they should do -- during real emergencies. Though everyone who takes part in the exercise knows their lives are not at risk, many still emerge sobbing.
As part of CNET Road Trip 2014, I've come to Southwest's headquarters in this city of 1.24 million people to see how one of the airline industry's most profitable companies continues to soar above the competition. The long answer explaining how Southwest has remained profitable for 40 consecutive years is complicated. But the short answer is this: Relentless good spirit, very smart and efficient operations, new technology, and a dedication to customers. I'm told that Southwest "hires for attitude, and trains for skill."
Behind the scenes at Southwest Airlines (pictures)
These are exciting times for Southwest. In October, the so-called Wright Amendment will expire. Passed in 1979 to protect the business operation that is Dallas-Fort Worth airport, the law limited flights into and out of Dallas' Love Field -- Southwest's hub -- to the four surrounding states: Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas, and Louisiana. That's why, despite the size of Southwest's operations in Dallas, you can't fly here direct from cities including Chicago, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Boston.
In 2006, the airline persuaded Congress to sunset the law, albeit with one provision: an eight-year delay. Now Southwest is awaiting October 13, 2014, when it can commence nonstop service beyond Texas' immediate neighbors. The preparation includes building a new terminal at Love Field, and adding eight Southwest gates, bringing its total in Dallas to 20.
At the same time, Southwest has invested in broad new infrastructure, technology, and building space. The goal is to centralize training, boost the efficiency of daily operations, and deploy the latest social media tools to catch -- or handle -- customer service issues as they're developing.
The NOC
Southwest is a big business, earning $17.7 billion in sales last year. It offers 3,600 flights a day and in 2010 carried 106,000 passengers, second in the world to Delta's 163,000, according to Nations Online. Now, it is expanding -- and turning to technology to help it master the skies.
Tucked away in a new bunker-like building built to withstand most tornadoes is Southwest's next-generation network operations command, or NOC. Called the "nerve center of Southwest Airlines" by Jeff Darnell, the director of NOC technology and support, it's a giant room bathed in violet light from above and the glow of computer monitors. Clusters of "pods" fill the space, each staffed with a dispatcher, a customer service coordinator, and a crew scheduler.

Each pod is responsible for "the integrity of [the] day-to-day flight schedule" in their sector, Darnell told me. Handed a schedule each day by a network planner, the group has to "execute that schedule for on-time and reliability," he said.
Technology is essential. Sitting at their workstations, the pod members peruse real-time weather data, air traffic maps, and charts that list the minutiae of each flight -- origin and destination, number of gallons of fuel at takeoff and landing, time of pushback from the gate, takeoff, and landing, total passenger count, and more. They also get an at-a-glance view of the status of each and every flight, which helps the pod members see whether there are issues to resolve. "Anything that can happen, we can manage from here," Darnell said.

Weather is the biggest demon. On any given day, pod members, regardless of sector, are grappling with the impact of Mother Nature on the schedule and often wheeling and dealing with air-traffic controllers to get passengers where they need to go. On this particular Monday, a dispatcher named Doug is monitoring a flight between Baltimore and Salt Lake City, and trying to decide how to deal with the large splotches of green and yellow the planned route goes straight through: thunderheads rising to 55,000 feet.
Doug, like all dispatchers a Federal Aviation Administration-licensed airman or "a pilot on the ground," isn't worried. He consults his computerized map and chooses a route that cuts south of Indianapolis, but he keeps the plane north of another set of thunderstorms.
Southwest's NOC wasn't always like this. Before moving into this building earlier this year, there were no pods. Everything was arranged in a linear fashion, Darnell said. But by clustering team members together, by sector, they can solve most any problem that may come up for a flight, whether it's a maintenance issue, a weather problem, or even a customer service issue on board the plane. In fact, though the pilots are the ones flying the aircraft, they can't push back unless given the green light by a dispatcher. "The dispatcher is 'flying the flight' with the captain," Darnell said. "They're just looking an hour or two ahead, looking for conditions" that must be dealt with.
Listening Center
Airline passengers can be very passionate about their flying experiences -- especially when they're bad. In today's age of social media, airlines like Southwest can't afford to ignore complaints.
A month ago, Southwest opened its "Listening Center." In a wide room with eight large monitors on the wall and 15 monitors on a long narrow desk, staffers from Southwest's communications, marketing, and customer relations departments are glued to social media -- Twitter, Facebook, blogs, YouTube -- looking for situations, bad and good, to respond to.
On one screen is an ever-changing mosaic of Twitter avatars for people that Southwest's algorithms consider influencers. Color-coded for sentiment -- red for bad, green for good -- the images float across the screen. When someone's avatar is red, the team clicks on it, sees what the person is tweeting about, and begins trying to deal with it. Frequently, it's someone with a complaint about a poor flight or a long delay. The team members try to figure out what flight the passenger was on, and sometimes contact the plane's crew to determine what happened. More often, they'll try to mollify the passenger through a direct-message conversation.

But the Listening Center is also about inserting Southwest into the zeitgeist of the day -- tastefully, of course. I'm told about a tweet the airline sent during this year's New York Fashion Week. Alongside a photo of a Southwest plane and the #NYFW hashtag, Southwest joked: "This runway model is going places."
On another screen is an evolving word cloud, a representation of the most common phrases being mentioned in social media about Southwest. At the center is the word "airline," but there's also "$19," which, it turns out, is a reference to $19 tickets being sold by a competitor. How is the word cloud useful? In November, Southwest recognized, before any official reports had been issued, that there was an active shooter situation at Los Angeles International Airport.
Someone had tweeted they weren't able to get off their "spaceship," a phrasing that caught the attention of a Southwest staffer monitoring the word cloud. More tweets appeared alluding to the shooting, which resulted in the death of one Transportation Security Administration officer and the wounding of several others. Southwest was the first airline to post anything, offering an advisory to customers to be aware of what was happening at LAX. It was another 10 or 15 minutes before Southwest's own NOC received reports of the shooting.
Back on the other side of Southwest's giant new building -- across the street from its main headquarters -- I've managed to jump onto the emergency slide and, despite my slow start and confused stares from the flight attendants, escape to safety from the "fire" aboard my "plane."
Though the Poolie experience can't replicate an actual crash, it does allow trainers and trainees to practice the intensity of action during an emergency. That's why the crew was yelling so loud when the smoke appeared.
The Poolie is just one of the training operations housed in the new building. Run by Elizabeth Bryant, a vice president at the airline, Southwest University offers training in everything from reservations to technology, to call centers to provisioning, and the many things would-be flight attendants need to know, including CPR and self-defense.
And how to evacuate a burning airplane.
For years, Southwest offered training regionally, but two-and-a-half years ago, it decided to construct a new $120 million building, and bring everything to Dallas. Now, it has 36 classrooms. It trained 1,500 flight attendants in the last year.
The Poolie, seen from outside. Daniel Terdiman/CNET
The Poolie training is intense. Flight attendants learn how to get their own classmates out of a smoke-filled cabin, in the dark, so that they learn how to adapt to whatever circumstances might arise. With so much yelling and screaming, it's no wonder many emerge overcome by emotion. For me, the effect wasn't as dramatic because I knew what was happening -- and because my job wasn't on the line.
Still, seeing all that smoke in the cabin was unnerving. Afterward, as I met Bryant for a quick debrief, she turned to me and deadpanned, "Did you have an eventful flight?"
Keep an eye out for more behind-the-scenes stories and photo galleries as I travel throughout Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kansas during this year's Road Trip. I'll seek out the most interesting technology, military and aviation sites, architecture, and other destinations our country has to offer. From U.S. Air Force basic training to NASA's Johnson Space Center and FedEx's massive package-sorting hub, Road Trip 2014 lets you journey along with me.

Texas takes step toward secession with Rick Perry's plan to hoard gold
Did Gov. Perry et al just trot out this feigned intent as political posturing knowing it would fade out on its own, or does he have some word gimmickry to put it to rest? What gives Guv, or have you pulled off a bait'n switch? Please don't leave your fellow Texans twisting in the wind.
By David Edwards
Friday, March 22, 2013 9:21 EDT
Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) and freshman state Rep. Giovanni Capriglione have a plan to create a "Fort Knox of Texas" so that the state can start hoarding gold.
Giovanni has filed a bill to establish a Texas Bullion Depository to store the $1 billion worth of gold bars that are owned by University of Texas Investment Management Co. (UTIMCO), which are currently being housed by the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Speaking to conservative radio host Glenn Beck on Tuesday, Perry said that lawmakers were in the process of "bringing gold that belongs to the state of Texas back into the state." Beck has been a longtime paid spokesperson for the precious metal seller Goldline, which agreed to refund up to $4.5 million to former customers last year after being sued for marking up gold more than 50 percent.
"If we own it, I will suggest to you that that's not someone else's determination whether we can take possession of it back or not," Perry told Beck.
Former Rep. Ron Paul on Thursday explained to The Texas Tribune that the gold would be safer in the hands of Texans.
"If you think gold is a hedge, or a protection, you always want it as close to the individual and the entity as possible," Paul said. "Texas is better served if it knows exactly where the gold is rather than depending on the security of the Federal Reserve."
For his part, Capriglione said that he had gotten the idea while attending a tea party rally with Perry in Tarrant County earlier this year.
"Something on the scorecards of a lot of these businesses in deciding whether they want to come to Texas is stability and gold as being one of those items," Capriglione insisted. "I think it's been in his consciousness for a while in trying to get some sort of depository in the state of Texas."
"We don't want just the certificates. We want our gold. And if you're the state of Texas, you should be able to get your gold."
Tangent Capital Partners senior managing director Jim Rickards speculated to Yahoo Finance on Thursday that creating a "Fort Knox of Texas" could be a step in Texas creating its own currency and eventually moving to secede.
"This bill contains a provision that says to the federal government that you, the federal government, purport to confiscate this Texas gold, we, the state of Texas, consider that to be null and void," Rickards pointed out. "And under the 10th Amendment of the United States Constitution, they have that power."
Earlier this year, more than 100,000 people signed a petition on the White House website calling on President Barack Obama's administration to allow the state to secede.
White House Office of Public Engagement Director Jon Carson responded by noting that the Supreme Court in 1869 that states do not have a right to secede.
Carson noted that the Founding Fathers established a Constitution and "enshrined in that document the right to change our national government through the power of the ballot — a right that generations of Americans have fought to secure for all. But they did not provide a right to walk away from it."
In a 2009 interview, Perry had joked that Texas was "thinking about" becoming an independent republic, but he dismissed the call to secede last year.

GkQMqU1uNHNu8M:Did you get your vehicle registration renewal card?
Did Get Renewal Vehicle Registration You Your Card Since May 2008, a handful of Ann Arbor restaurants and stores with liquor licenses have been charged with "sale to minor" by the Michigan Liquor Control Commission. However, none of these have been at the more popular downtown bars, in which bar entry after 9 p.m. for anyone under the age of 21 is illegal — though some legally allow minors in the bar or restaurant if accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Renewal Get Did Vehicle Registration Card Your You According to Douglas Lewis, the director of Student Legal Services, many students in Ann Arbor caught with fake identification are not turned over to police by the bars.

Law firms are dependent on good marketing and word of mouth to grow. What is a good way to leverage your budget and push towards a better marketing strategy? There are multiple ways you can slice this as a business and the three mentioned here are going to do a lot for you. It is about taking these methods and implementing them as soon as possible. When you set things into motion as a business and law firm, you need to account for everything including the results that will come.
This is the best place to start as a law firm when you want to think about marketing. If you start to use SEO, you are going to rank higher and build a real online brand. The law firm is going to draw in people all the time and it is going to be free after the initial cost. This is what an SEO agency is all about. You are able to pay for their services and rank on Google, Bing and watch as leads come in. These are the leads that are going to bring in great cases for you.
Don't ignore SEM because that is where you are going to enjoy having a potent solution. SEM is empowering and is going to make it easier to leverage a larger budget. The idea is to buy leads and have them come to your website. This is how you will be able to speed things along and have leads rush in on time. A lot of law firms like to go with SEM for this reason as they don't want to wait. It is up to you as to what you want to do and SEM is a great option in its own way. This is why it does work.
Some of the marketing options are not going to do it for you and that has a lot to do with the target market. Most people enjoy social media marketing because it is able to leverage a large segment of the market and put your ads or landing pages in front of them.
This is convenient and a lot of the major platforms are now using their ad managers to offer real targeting value for users. It can make running a law firm marketing campaign that much easier when you can target people. For example, if you are a divorce lawyer, it is easier to target men and women who are married since they are the ones who can get divorced.
These are the top marketing ideas for law firms to engage with and use on a regular basis. A lot of law firms are behind the eight ball because they are not looking past age-old methods that have stopped working a long time ago and just don't have the impact they might have in the past. These marketing ideas are going to do it and will be convenient in the long-term. Visit the website to read more or contact us.

Home Culture Cuisine First Naked Restaurant to Open in London, Waiting List Hits 30,000
First Naked Restaurant to Open in London, Waiting List Hits 30,000
Rabat - London is set to open its first "naked dining experience" coming in June, according to the International Business Times.
Larbi Arbaoui
Larbi is a freelance writer and assistant editor at Morocco World News.
Rabat – London is set to open its first "naked dining experience" coming in June, according to the International Business Times.
More than 32,000 people have signed up for a chance to dine at Bunyadi, (meaning fundamental, base, natural), a three-month pop-up restaurant billed as the UK capital's first restaurant to serve its clients naked.
The restaurant is a project of the Lollipop company, a pop-up group. The company said they were "amazed" by the interest in the "fascinating social experiment" that will take diners to a "Pangea-like world."
"I'm both surprised and excited by the response," Lollipop Founder Seb Lyall said in an interview with CNN.
"People want to be naked," he said. "Whether it's on a beach or in a sauna, if the opportunity is there to be in a natural state, they will take it."
The restaurant will provide lockers for customers to store their clothing. There will be naked and non-naked sections for diners.
Clients will be served natural vegan and non-vegan dishes on earthenwares with edible utensils.
As the restaurant will not be equipped with any electric or gas ovens, the food will be prepared using wood fires by chefs who will be wearing only hairnets and aprons.
The restaurant said that waiters will be semi-naked while serving the clients.
Bunyadi aims to offer customers "true liberation" by serving unprocessed food in a nature-like environment away from modern technology. Customers will be required to leave their smart phones and other technological devices outside and taking photos will not be allowed.
Lyall said he wants clients to "experience a night out without any impurities," including chemicals, electricity and gas. Customers will be seated in sections partitioned by bamboo and lit only by candlelight, where they will be given the option to dine naked.
"We have worked very hard to design a space where everything patrons interact with is bare and naked," Lyall said. "The use of natural bamboo partitions and candlelight has enabled to us to make the restaurant discreet, whilst adhering to the ethos behind it."

Patricia Arquette to Join Boardwalk Empire Season Four
by Carissa Pavlica April 11, 2013 5:21 pm 888 views0
As if the Boardwalk Empire cast wasn't already growing by impressive leaps and bounds with new series regular Ron Livingston as Roy Phillips, recurring characters Domenick Lombardozzi as Al Capone's older brother, Ralph and Brian Geraghty as Prohibition agent Loren Knox, Deadline just reported that Patricia Arquette will have a major recurring role opposite Steve Buscemi as Sally Wheet, a "tough-as-nails Tampa speakeasy owner with connections to local gangsters."
Best known for her role as Allison Dubois on Medium with her ability to talk to the dead and raise a family of similarly suited daughters while maintaining a realistic and loving marriage for the duration of the series, Patricia comes from a family of talented actors. Two of her siblings, brother David Arquette and sister Rosanna Arquette are successful actors and producers in their own right and both made guest appearances on Medium.
Boardwalk Empire marks Ms. Arquette's first major appearance in a television series since Medium ended in 2011.
Boardwalk Empire follows the story of Enoch "Nucky" Thompson (based on the historical Enoch L. Johnson) a political figure who rose to prominence and controlled Atlantic City, New Jersey, during the Prohibition period of the 1920s and 1930s. It seems to me that having another contact the likes of Ms. Wheet will be beneficial to Nucky, as he'll need all the help he can get going into Season 4. At the end of Season 3, we saw the gang holed up in Atlantic City during a major gang war on that was relying on the strength of Nucky's negotiation strength by telephone.
Since so many cast members are being added, we know at lest Nucky gets out alive, but how the Feds and everyone else will fare after the outburst will be fun to watch as we delve into Season 4. I'm still wondering what kind of ulterior motives a Prohibition agent could have. Can't wait to find out!

A cryptographic checksum is a one-way hash-function, that is, you cannot find (except by exhaustive search) the input corresponding to a particular output. This net result is a "fingerprint" of the input-data, which does not disclose the actual input.
MD4 is the fastest and MD5 is somewhat slower. MD4 has now been broken; it should only be used where necessary for backward compatibility. MD5 has not yet (1999-02-11) been broken, but sufficient attacks have been made that its security is in some doubt. The attacks on both MD4 and MD5 are both in the nature of finding "collisions" [en] that is, multiple inputs which hash to the same value; it is still unlikely for an attacker to be able to determine the exact original input given a hash value.
The MD4Init(), MD4Update(), and MD4Final() functions are the core functions. Allocate an MD4_CTX, initialize it with MD4Init(), run over the data with MD4Update(), and finally extract the result using MD4Final().
The MD4Pad() function can be used to pad message data in same way as done by MD4Final() without terminating calculation.
The MD4End() function is a wrapper for MD4Final() which converts the return value to a 33-character (including the terminating '\0') ASCII string which represents the 128 bits in hexadecimal.
The MD4File() function calculates the digest of a file, and uses MD4End() to return the result. If the file cannot be opened, a null pointer is returned. The MD4FileChunk() function is similar to MD4File(), but it only calculates the digest over a byte-range of the file specified, starting at offset and spanning length bytes. If the length parameter is specified as 0, or more than the length of the remaining part of the file, MD4FileChunk() calculates the digest from offset to the end of file. The MD4Data() function calculates the digest of a chunk of data in memory, and uses MD4End() to return the result.
When using MD4End(), MD4File(), or MD4Data(), the buf argument can be a null pointer, in which case the returned string is allocated with malloc(3) and subsequently must be explicitly deallocated using free(3) after use. If the buf argument is non-null it must point to at least 33 characters of buffer space.

The hockey world reacts after the passing of Montreal Canadiens legend Jean Beliveau on Tuesday night at the age of 83.
The hockey world was saddened by the passing of Montreal Canadiens legend and iconic Hockey Hall of Famer Jean Béliveau on Tuesday night at the age of 83.
The impact he'd made, both as one of the greatest players of all time and as a true role model, was reflected in the outpouring of respect and admiration on social media.
Very sad to hear about Jean Béliveau! The sparkle is my grandfather's eyes when he was talking about him was always very special!
My favourite interview was the one that verified a boyhood choice. Should athletes be idols? Certainly, if they can be like Jean Beliveau.
Jean Beliveau: Family man, superstar hockey player, ambassador. The Jean Beliveau hat trick.
Gary Betttman: "No record book can capture, no image can depict, no statue can convey the grandeur of the remarkable Jean Béliveau."
Jean Beliveau was a father figure for everybody. His death sadden me a lot this morning.
In the foyer and living room, there are pictures of our two children, our granddaughter and Jean Béliveau.
It is with sadness that I learned of the passing of Jean Béliveau. He was a true legend and a class act. My thoughts are with his family.
I'm saddened to learn of the passing of the legendary Jean Béliveau. The sport of hockey has lost an icon, and the world a true gentleman.

2. Beliveau replied, "Just the Stanley Cup." Customs Agent: "We will just mark 'Canadian Goods Returned' "

Rajya Sabha Member Amar Singh Cremated In Delhi
Rajya Sabha member Amar Singh was cremated today at the Chhatarpur crematorium in Delhi in the presence of his family members and relatives. The cremation happened two days after he died in a Singapore hospital.
The last rites happened at around 11:30 am. His two daughters performed the last rights.
Due to COVID-19 protocols, Amar Singh's last rites were performed in the presence of a limited number of people, including actor-turned-politician Jaya Prada, who considered him her "godfather".
Earlier in the day, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, BJP Rajya Sabha member Jyotiraditya Scindia, and Jaya Prada were among the first ones to pay floral tributes to the former Samajwadi Party leader at his Chhatarpur farmhouse. His wife Pankaja Singh and two daughters were present there.
Amar Singh's body was brought to the national capital in a chartered aircraft on Sunday evening.
The 64-year-old had been undergoing treatment at a hospital in Singapore for six months and had earlier undergone a kidney transplant in 2013.

A Facebook user who goes with the name Chiesie Pedro, has taken to the social media platform to thank God for saving her from a snake bite inside a bus on her way to Onitsha.
The pretty young lady revealed that she boarded a bus going to Onitsha and right inside the bus, the snake crawled passed her legs without biting her.
Chiesie also quoted Luke 10:19 and Psalm 91 which she said fulfilled in her life.
"TESTIMONY. Thank you Jesus for saving me from a snake bite inside goodness n mercy bus I boarded to Onitsha.
"Truly the word works as Luke 10: 19 and psalm 91 was fulfilled in my life today . The snake crawl passed my legs. But his protection, love, Mercy and grace preserved me.


Brass Tacks nails Shakespeare's dense & difficult "Measure for Measure"
Brass Tacks Ensemble has workshopped Measure for Measure for 10 months. Photos by Aaron C. Wade.
Nearly every play that is performed for an audience is a culmination of many people's collective time and effort. A play is often a culmination of countless hours of rehearsals; of actors having learned the basics of their blocking and memorizing their lines, only to then attempt the feat of embodying becoming other people; of a director grappling with ideas and how to bring their artistic vision to a stage.
But rarely is a play a culmination of almost 10 months of other workshops and productions. Measure for Measure, a Brass Tacks Ensemble show that runs Nov. 10-19, is precisely that.
The Brass Tacks Ensemble troupe has been working on basic text and acting techniques of Shakespearean drama since January. They started with Much Ado About Nothing (performed in April) followed by The Merchant of Venice (performed in August), and they are now tackling an incredibly dense and challenging piece.
And Measure for Measure is a really hard play. Often called a "problem play," this is one of Shakespeare's final comedies, which explores preoccupations with death, questions of morality, and some questionable and ethically ambiguous plot devices.
These are important themes and questions and they don't have pat answers. "The Brass Tacks Ensemble is founded partly on the idea that we must engage the audience, and to do that it would be better to ask questions than provide answers," says Ingagiola.
As with every Brass Tacks show, audiences can also expect a stripped-down aesthetic that focuses on the actors, making minimal use of props, sets, costumes, or lighting. In this way, Ingagiola hopes to eliminate distractions so that the audience can focus on the story that's being told and the relationships that form between the characters. Hopefully, audiences will also relate the themes within the classical text to how they live their own lives. "The more you add to a production in terms of costumes, props, sets, etc., the more you lock it into a specific story about very specific people in a very specific time," explains Ingagiola.
I was fortunate enough to see BTE's production of Merchant of Venice last summer and it was a truly wonderful show, both thoughtfully paced and very well acted. If that's any indication of what we can expect from Measure for Measure, this production is likely to be exceptional.
Brass Tacks Ensemble's "Measure for Measure" runs Nov. 10-19, 1600 Pauline Blvd., Ann Arbor. For tickets, visit btensemble.org.

El Instituto Estadounidense de Ingenieros Eléctricos (American Institute of Electrical Engineers; AIEE) fue una organización, con sede en Estados Unidos, de ingenieros eléctricos que existió desde 1884 hasta 1962.

El 1 de enero de 1963 se fusionó con el Instituto de Ingenieros de Radio (IRE), formando así el Instituto de Ingenieros Eléctricos y Electrónicos (IEEE). Si bien quedó atrás su nombre, no lo hicieron sus metas ni objetivos ni mucho menos su espíritu pues la fusión fue en verdad una evolución a más y mejor.

Premios y galardones
El máximo galardón concedido por el AIEE era la llamada Medalla Edison AIEE, actualmente conocida como la Medalla Edison IEEE.

Fue en 1908 cuando el AIEE firmó un acuerdo con el grupo que la creó, en 1904, para poder, finalmente, concederla. De tal modo, en 1909, se entregó la primera a Elihu Thomson.

La medalla era anual, y así fue hasta que, en 1963, tras la creación del Instituto de Ingenieros Eléctricos y Electrónicos (IEEE), siguió con su regularidad pero no con su nombre; ahora era la Medalla Edison IEEE, pasando a ser el 2º mayor galardón concedido por el IEEE así como su medalla más importante.

Cyrus Smokes On Stage, Clooney Makes Esquire Cover
posted 11 Nov 2013, 13:14 by Sam Mbale [ updated 11 Nov 2013, 13:15 ]
NVO - Miley Cyrus is making headlines again. The singer attended the 2013 MTV Europe Music Awards and lit up on stage. The awards were held in Amsterdam - a city known for its tolerant attitude towards soft drugs. In addition to smoking on stage, Cyrus also took home the award for best video for "Wrecking Ball."
George Clooney gave an open and wide-ranging interview to Esquire magazine for their December issue. The Oscar-winning actor dished out his feelings about a variety of his colleagues. Among other things, Clooney said Russell Crowe apologized to him following a short-lived feud the two had a few years ago, that he thinks Leonardo DiCaprio may be surrounding himself with the wrong crowd, and that Brad Pitt is "the biggest movie star in the world."
Lady Gaga took flight in New York - although it was only a few feet off the ground. The singer appeared on a type of hovercraft dress at the launch party for her fourth studio album, "ARTPOP." Gaga claimed that it was the world's first flying dress - something she calls a "Volantis."
Finally, Thor pounded his box office competitors over the weekend, muscling the movie sequel "Thor: The Dark World" to the top of the North American charts with a hefty 86.1 million in ticket sales. The Chris Hemsworth film has already earned more that 327 million dollars globally.

During one lunch time with friends on a weekday somewhere in Roosevelt Island in NYC, I heard with extreme curiosity for the first time the confessional sharing made by one of my friends who were around that time. I am not going to describe him more here so I can help protect his identity for now. Suffice it to say that those who were with me during that lunch are good friends of mine.

I got hold of this book from digging up from the shelves in one of the remaining thrift stores in Manhattan, and was generally surprised in discovering this. I immediately got interested in reading it, primarily because I got a strong sense it could I got hold of this book from digging up from the shelves in one of the remaining thrift stores in Manhattan, and was generally surprised in discovering this. I immediately got interested in reading it, primarily because I got a strong sense it could provide me with a useful set of techniques in connecting with whatever it is that concerns myself almost daily. In the process of doing my book readings, I know that whatever findings I could have will help eventually in my efforts to relate more effectively with others whom I get to provide help one way or another, directly and indirectly. Of course, the process of helping starts with myself. I'm delighted to discover that the book is really a very easy read. But it took me awhile to finish it because I would go about testing its instructions whenever I would get the chance amidst doing and completing all my activities.
Focusing as discussed in this book is different from the usual kind of focusing I mean especially when I deal with my numerous activities. Yes, I could use some more focusing, given the many activities I'm into daily - from business, relating, thinking, exercising, eating, traveling, etc.
But in this book, focusing refers to techniques being used in relating and connecting more solidly with my body, which I've not really paid much attention into in a such manner because of so many concerns I'm into at any point in time (that continues all day long, unless when I'm finally sleeping). It's different from meditation techniques. And it's fascinating to know that it's been based on researches done in the academic world (i.e., in the early 1960s by Professor Eugene Gendlin at the University of Chicago).
The hallmark is defined by having to grapple in giving the most precise name on what your specific felt sense could be that a part of your body is trying to tell you (but you've been not paying attention to because of many reasons, including being so logical and/or linear in your general approaches in life). It really feels great getting connected with these felt senses, as my body generally knows what it needs and wants. The process helps clarifies life directions. I have to learn to be much better in relating and attuning myself with any of these felt senses. It's similar to being a very good friend who's very compassionate with whatever concerns you have, being not judgmental towards you, and would make you feel you won't be left alone or ignored anymore.

DOD's Whole of Government Approach to COVID is Working, Says Adirim
Dr. Terry Adirim, acting assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, right, speaks during a panel discussion as part of the opening keynote for the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society 2021 annual conference at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, August 8. (MHS photo by Jacob Moore)
8/13/2021 By: Jacob Moore, MHS Communications
COVID-19 Vaccine Efforts | Health Care Technology | Telehealth Program | Military Health System Transformation
During the opening keynote at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society's annual conference, Dr. Terry Adirim, acting assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, explained how she has been extremely impressed by the Department of Defense's response to the COVID-19 pandemic since taking over her current role. She also detailed how adaptation and innovation have played key parts in that response.
The panel, entitled "Preserving the Health of a Population – Early Lessons from a Global Pandemic," was hosted by Hal Wolf, HIMSS president and chief executive officer, and included Adirim, Dr. Ran Balicer, chief innovation officer for Israel's Clalit Health Services; Dr. Patrice Harris, CEO and co-founder of eMed; and Dr. Hans Henri Kluge, the World Health Organization's regional director for Europe.
"I was very impressed when I came in in January with all of the work that the department has done. It really took a whole of government approach and that was very much emphasized by Secretary (of Defense, Lloyd) Austin," Adirim said. "He really supported all aspects and sectors in doing that, as well as taking care of our service members and beneficiaries."
Adirim explained how she was also impressed with how "thoughtful," the DOD's Force Health Protection Guidance was regarding COVID, although emerging variants such as Delta may necessitate a shift in the department's approach.
"Even pre-vaccination, we were able to protect our force and they were able to complete their mission," she said. "I think Delta has thrown a wrench in that a little bit, but I think overall, the Department of Defense has, and continues to do, a pretty good job."
Adirim said the early lessons learned should be catalysts for change within DOD healthcare.
"We need to take what we've done during the pandemic – and those things that are working, document that for going forward," she said.
With the changing nature of the virus, and new information becoming available daily, she said flexibility and change are essential to the DOD's mission.
"Our healthcare system has been fairly nimble when it comes to re-looking at how we do things and when it comes to completing our missions, especially our national security mission," said Adirim. "We've had to adapt and change. It was hard, but when people see that it's working, we'll continue to do those things going forward."
Change includes looking at an issue and adapting to the current environment. She spoke specifically about addressing children's mental health citing that, of the Military Health System's 9.6 million beneficiaries, a significant portion are children of service members who have to deal with the anxiety that can go along with frequent moves, changing schools, etc.
"We've been leveraging technology and we've greatly expanded tele-behavioral health," Adirim said. "Necessity is the mother of invention. The pandemic hit and we made sure we expanded that, so our families could have better access to mental health services."
Adirim also spoke about the innovation that has taken place within the DOD. Just one example was using 3D printing for protective items such as face shields to overcome supply chain issues and equipment shortages that presented themselves early in the pandemic.
"I think using technology for even the more mundane things would help us be more well-prepared," she said

Somaliland Former State Minister Urges the Gov to execute the renegade Colonel Said Aare
Ex-state minister for livestock during Silanyo's administration has echoed the remarks from the army chief that the defected Colonel Aare should face justice or the death penalty.
Mr. Abdirashid Riyo Raac has said that there is no region that could give Colonel Aare amnesty if the incumbent Somaliland president pardons the deserted army officer.
The former state minister has further commented by saying that Mr. Said Aare has killed innocent civilians in Sanaag and Sool regions.
The first crime that Aare will be held liable is the execution of innocent civilians in the first place, said the former minister.
He added that he has committed treason from the national army after he defected and later once pardoned by former president Silanyo killed unarmed civilians.
The ex-minister has warned that justice must prevail and the Colonel should stand trail for his heinous crimes and gross human rights violations.
Mr. Abdirashid has stated that he shares the notion that he must face the death penalty and if that does not happen then everyone will be entitled to take the law into their hands.
He was surprised clan elders who are defending and siding with the renegade Colonel.
The ex-state minister has finally revealed that if the defected Colonel is pardoned that he will not live in peace in the regions where he carried out the executions.
