All other implementations of the bottom sheet pattern and sliding panel pattern implement a panel that sits above all the other Views of the app. When the panel is collapsed (but visible) the only way to set its position is by using a peek factor (its distance from the bottom of the screen).
With this library the sliding panel is placed exactly where it is supposed to be in the view hierarchy, just like it would be in a vertical (or horizontal) LinearLayout. It doesn't sit above other Views.
This is a very simple library about Bottom Sheets, and this one try to simulate the Owl app bottom sheet.
If current project use Android DrawerLayout Support library and kinda boring with the effect. Then, just change the layout code and calling necessary method for animation/effect.
Simple modal presenter that can be easily customized. The modal will be shown in the bottom half part of the screen.
This is a sample project showing an implementation of mini navigation drawer for Android.
A toolbar that can be moved down to show a panel. This library is inspired from Android DrawerLayout, but instead of showing drawer from either left or right this library will provide you function to pull down the toolbar to show a panel which you can customize by yourself.
A bottom sliding menu with gradient background and transparency.
Alternative for the Google's Drawer Layout.
Add and remove Head-Items at runtime.
A SlidingPaneLayout that is partially visible, with a cross fade.

Rock Out With The Charr! Our Preview Of GW2's Icebrood Saga Prologue, Bound By Blood
Jason Winter
Bound By Blood is the name of the prologue to the Icebrood Saga, the continuation of the Guild Wars 2 Living Story. That's only because they rejected the original title, It's A Charr Party, And Everyone's Invited. OK, fine, that probably never was in consideration but that's only because I don't work at ArenaNet and get to suggest titles for these sorts of things. That's probably for the best.
That said, my title is not entirely wrong. There's definitely a big party going on in charr territory, to celebrate the death of the Elder Dragon Kralkatorrik, and everyone is invited. That counts not only all the player races – norn, sylvari, asura, and human – but also all the charr legions, including the villainous Flame Legion, who have served as baddies in the Guild Wars universe for a decade and a half. Don't worry, everything will go just fiiiiiiine.
Unlike in previous previews, ArenaNet kept us away from the story content this time around. That's a welcome approach, since we usually needed to tiptoe around what we could and couldn't reveal, story-wise, and that wasn't the kind of thing likely to get you to log in if you wouldn't otherwise. Either you're already digging the story and will be doing it the instant the new content goes live (which should be right now, barring unforeseen delays) or you're not going to be lured in by hearing about Braham's newfound maturity or whatnot. If you've been away long enough, you might have even forgotten who Braham even is.
Legions of fans (and fans of legions)
Instead the focus was on the new zone, Grothmar Valley, and the festivities carrying on within. To wit, there are four primary large meta-events that are on timers, along with the usual assortment of smaller events. Each meta-event is "sponsored" by one of the legions:
Ash Legion: An expedition into Doomlore Shrine to try and exercise some stubborn human ghosts, some of whom will be recognizable to players of the original Guild Wars.
Iron Legion: A concert put on by a band called the "Metal Legion," which gets as rowdy as you'd expect a charr concert to be.
Flame Legion: A ritual effigy.
Blood Legion: A trip to the Ooze Pit – which sounds lovely – where gladia (charr without warbands) try and prove themselves.
We got to try out the first two during our play session. The Doomlore Expedition was typical fare: follow an NPC into the wild, defending them along the way, culminating with a big fight against a boss monster – in this case, a vengeful ghost. Nothing too spectacularly different, but, as I said, something that should be a treat for Guild Wars lore fiends.
The concert, on the other hand, was certainly outside the usual MMORPG fare. Players are hired on as security for the event, which naturally gets a little out of hand, with fans rushing the stage, amps that need to be powered up, and various other events that occur as the band works through its three-song set.
One other celebratory event we sampled that was new and different was a demolition derby, which puts players behind the wheel of a steam-powered vehicle custom-built for mayhem. The player with the most kills over the duration of the event is the winner, and if there aren't enough players to fill out the ranks of competitors, NPCs join the fray.
For doing each of the big four meta-events, you'll receive a token from that event's sponsor's legion. Collect all four and take them to the Vault of the Khan-Ur to collect all of its treasure chests, which will hopefully provide you with some of its spiffy drops. These include helms specifically designed for the charr race, and usable only by them, and four weapons, each representing the founders of the four legions.
A few other rewards obtained throughout the zone are distinctly flavored by the band, such as a T-shirt with their logo and a warhorn that takes the form of a microphone and alters your character's audio lines to sound like they're being shouted through a mic. Another reward for the map meta is a /rockout emote that lets your character thrash to the beat, in true metal fashion.
Time to strike
Strike missions are the new type of content being introduced in this update, and they were described on the GW2 website as "challenging boss encounters in a group of up to ten players." You can run them as a pre-formed group or queue up and get into them with whatever random people join up.
As you might expect from that second option, the encounters aren't exactly raid-level difficult but are more in line with a somewhat challenging open-world boss. I won't get into the lore of what we fought, so as to preserve some surprise, but the encounter itself was a fairly typical circle-dodging exercise. The damage was enough to down several members of our team throughout, and a pick-up group might not consist of characters wearing top-tier gear like us, but it's not a substitute for a raid encounter.
Still, in the brief time I had to sample them, I thought the zone and all its contents were enjoyable, and that's without even getting into the main story. Admittedly, that will be brief, but as someone who knows that charr are the best race, I'll enjoy digging into the lore behind the prologue, which should set the stage for the proper start to the Icebrood Saga. That's expected by the end of the year, ArenaNet told me. In the meantime, rock on, my dudes!

We designed RespGen as a tool to allow instrument manufacturers and network operators to easily determine the instrument response of any seismograph. In 1994, Pavlis and Vernon published a paper, "Calibration of Seismometers Using Ground Noise", claiming that if the instrument response of one of two co-located seismometers is known, we can restore the instrument response of the other. The new RespGen program is a highly refined version of the Pavlis and Vernon method.
The blue line is the instrument response of the STS-2 according to Streckeisen. The green line is the instrument response for the STS-2 as we derived it with RespGen. Now that is a pretty good fit!
Getting the instrument response of an "unknown" sensor from another sensor with a "known" instrument response is now easy.

The blue line is the instrument response of the Trillium Compact according to Nanometrics. The green line is the instrument response for the Trillium Compact as we derived it with RespGen.
SEND US YOUR DATA and we will send you back a RESP or dataless formatted response file!
Something a little more extreme: You just returned from a campaign study in the Aleutians. Your Nanometrics Trillium Compact was thrown from a helicopter, banged around in your backpack for a day, was attacked by bears while you cowered in your tent hoping your deodorant did not attract the cubs, then it sat around covered in a meter of slush for a few months only to then suffer through a weeks-long journey on the barge you hitchhiked back to the mainland on. Now you are back in the lab and you want to make sure things are OK.
With the RespGen program, you can confirm the entire instrument response curve, including the sensitivity, high and low corner frequencies. But we also make a calibration table. Check it out here.
Many thanks to Professor Pavlis for his guidance and our friend Adam Ringler at ASL for his readiness to answer our questions and talk instrumentation.

This memoir chronicles one man's vision of eradicating poverty by providing loans to a segment of society that traditional banks felt was too risky. If you are considering starting a business with a social mission, or you just want to remember that anything is possible—read Banker to the Poor!
Muhammad Yunus is that rare thing: a bona fide visionary. His dream is the total eradication of poverty from the world. In 1983, against the advice of banking and government officials, Yunus established Grameen, a bank devoted to providing the poorest of Bangladesh with minuscule loans. Grameen Bank, based on the belief that credit is a basic human right, not the privilege of a fortunate few, now provides over 2.5 billion dollars of micro-loans to more than two million families in rural Bangladesh. Ninety-four percent of Yunus's clients are women, and repayment rates are near 100 percent. Around the world, micro-lending programs inspired by Grameen are blossoming, with more than three hundred programs established in the United States alone.
Banker to the Poor is Muhammad Yunus's memoir of how he decided to change his life in order to help the world's poor. In it he traces the intellectual and spiritual journey that led him to fundamentally rethink the economic relationship between rich and poor, and the challenges he and his colleagues faced in founding Grameen. He also provides wise, hopeful guidance for anyone who would like to join him in "putting homelessness and destitution in a museum so that one day our children will visit it and ask how we could have allowed such a terrible thing to go on for so long." The definitive history of micro-credit direct from the man that conceived of it, Banker to the Poor is necessary and inspirational reading for anyone interested in economics, public policy, philanthropy, social history, and business.

This is not a book about dieting, it is a book about networking and relationships. We believe it is a must-read that explains the art/power of networking in person and online. Ferrazzi gives you actionable advice on how you can harness the power of good relationships and become an amazing networker to build a career you love.
The secret, master networker Keith Ferrazzi claims, is in reaching out to other people. As Ferrazzi discovered in early life, what distinguishes highly successful people from everyone else is the way they use the power of relationships—so that everyone wins. In Never Eat Alone, Ferrazzi lays out the specific steps—and inner mindset—he uses to reach out to connect with the thousands of colleagues, friends, and associates on his contacts list, people he has helped and who have helped him. And in the time since Never Eat Alone was published in 2005, the rise of social media and new, collaborative management styles have only made Ferrazzi's advice more essential for anyone hoping to get ahead in business.
In the course of this book, Ferrazzi outlines the timeless strategies shared by the world's most connected individuals.

Clarke's vast determination to stubbornly follow his own path in the music industry, along with his outspoken opinion on many a subject, was not hailed by his peers with enthusiasm on many occasions. Criticized for being a futurist in the early zeros – he was the first techno artist to release an internet only single in 2000 – his main motive was, and still is, to deliver music to the ears of his global audience oblivious to pigeonholes, politics, prejudice or other people's opinions. As Clarke explains: "This is techno, it's supposed to be forward-looking".

The following article was published by Reidar Visser, an historian of Iraq educated at the University of Oxford. It is reproduced here with the author's permission. Any opinions expressed are those of the author, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Iraq Business News.
The Iraqi cabinet made big headlines today with a shock decision to form three brand new provinces. Supposedly, there will be new governorates in Tuz Khormato (a Turkmen-dominated area currently in Salahaddin province), the Nineveh plains (a Christian-dominated part of Nineveh province) and Falluja (centre of the current Sunni-led uprising in Anbar province).
With a recent decision to create Halabja as a separate governorate in Kurdistan, some observers declared that Iraq all of a sudden has 22 provinces, after decades of relative administrative stability in 18 governorates since the early 1970s.
It is not like the inhabitants of Falluja, Tuz and the Nineveh plains will feel any major changes related to administrative status when they wake up tomorrow. Some of the uncertainty regarding the new move of the Iraqi government can be glimpsed from the language of the cabinet decision itself: The agreement on the formation of these new decisions was made "in principle", to be completed after the necessary formalities "had been completed".
Those formalities were not detailed: A special committee including members of the ministries of justice and municipalities will look into the "standards and procedures" necessary to complete the transformation.
This ambiguous choice of language in turn reflects wider legal uncertainties regarding any decision to form new provinces. In theory, despite the absence of any constitutional reference to administrative boundary changes, after 2003 such administrative changes were governed by a Baathist-era law, law no. 159 from 1969, which vested the power to change administrative boundaries in cabinet.

Justice Kavanaugh Hears First Supreme Court Arguments
'His confirmation last week was a victory for the very same principles of fairness and justice that we will now count on him -- along with his fellow justices -- to uphold. And Saturday's vote was also a victory for the Senate, and for the integrity of our institution. Reason and deliberation triumphed over what was, literally, an attempt to sway the Senate using mob tactics.'
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) delivered the following remarks today on the Senate floor regarding the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh:
"Yesterday, I was honored to attend the ceremonial swearing-in for the newest member of our Supreme Court -- Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Justice Kavanaugh's remarks yesterday affirmed yet again what his record and his testimony clearly told us: He will be a thoughtful, fair-minded justice who's committed to applying our laws and Constitution as they are actually written.
"His confirmation last week was a victory for the very same principles of fairness and justice that we will now count on him -- along with his fellow justices -- to uphold. And Saturday's vote was also a victory for the Senate, and for the integrity of our institution. Reason and deliberation triumphed over what was, literally, an attempt to sway the Senate using mob tactics. I wish this were an exaggeration. It isn't. While many came to Washington peacefully to share their stories, the loudest voices proved to be those of the politically-motivated far left.
"The same far-left special interests that had pledged total opposition to any Supreme Court nominee before the ink was even dry on Justice Kennedy's retirement pulled out all the stops. They did everything they could. When it became clear Justice Kavanaugh's nomination would not be stopped on the merits -- well, as we now know, that was only the beginning. Far-left activists decided that United States Senators should be harassed and intimidated wherever they might be -- in a restaurant with family, or getting out of their own car, or in their own homes.
"When they did not get their way, when these tactics failed to sway us, they just turned up the anger even more. Protestors disregarded the men and women of Capitol Police, trampled barricades, stormed the steps of the Capitol and the Supreme Court, climbed on statues, and tried to literally shout down Senators as they voted. When the dust settled, literally hundreds of arrests had been made. Extraordinary security measures were required to protect the Senate, the Supreme Court, and the Kavanaugh family. And members of this body, and Senate staff, have received threats of violence and murder.
"After all that, I'm afraid the far left had only succeeded in only one thing: They made it even more difficult for the vast majority of Americans to take them seriously. But the madness hasn't stopped. They're already signaling that even more drastic steps may be necessary, now that Justice Kavanaugh is on the court. Some left-wing publications are already trying to lay the groundwork for -- you guessed it -- literally packing the Court with more justices. That's right: The far left has gone scrounging through the ash-heap of American history and they're bandying about that discredited fantasy from the 1930s.
"In the meantime, while the groundwork is laid for this scheme, one far-left pressure group is already trying to circulate petitions that Justice Kavanaugh should be impeached. The mob would like to make itself perfectly clear. If Democrats retake Congress, quote, 'progressives expect them to use their full power to get Kavanaugh off the bench.' So it's obvious: The all-consuming animosity toward this nominee, independent of all the facts, and all the evidence, is still being stoked.
"The far-left mob is not letting up. Earlier today, former Secretary of State Clinton sent this signal as clear as day. She told CNN exactly how she views millions of Americans who hold different political views from her own: 'You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for…If we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the Senate, that's when civility can start again.'
"No peace until they get their way? More of these unhinged tactics? Apparently this is the left's rallying cry. But fortunately, the American people know that the fact-free politics of hate, fear, and intimidation are not how we actually govern in our democratic republic. The Senate -- and the nation -- will not be intimidated.
"I'd like to conclude today where I started -- with a few words of thanks for a job well done. Justice Kavanaugh's confirmation could not have happened without tireless work from so many. So while I certainly can't mention everyone who deserves it, I want take a moment to express gratitude.
"First, of course, is President Trump himself -- for sending the Senate such a talented and qualified nominee. He and Vice President Pence are stalwart champions for the judiciary that the American people deserve. My deep gratitude is also with White House Counsel Don McGahn. Without Don's total dedication to ensuring Judge Kavanaugh received a fair hearing, we would not be where we are today.
"Here in the Senate, I cannot compliment enough our dear friend Chairman Grassley for his leadership of the Judiciary Committee. He balanced strong leadership with generosity and flexibility to all Members. He oversaw the most thorough, painstaking review of a Supreme Court nominee in our nation's history.
"Supporting Chairman Grassley and the committee, I'd like to mention: Staff Director Kolan Davis, Chief Nominations Counsel Mike Davis, Steve Kenny, Lauren Mehler, Andrew Ferguson, Taylor Foy, Rachel Mitchell, Katharine Willey, Jessica Vu, George Hartmann, Jill Kozeny and Jennifer Heins in Senator Grassley's office, and an entire team of truly outstanding staff.
"Thanks are also due to the Republican Whip, Senator Cornyn, and his excellent team, led by Monica Popp. And all of the dedicated floor staff who make this body function -- Laura Dove, Robert Duncan, and the entire cloakroom team; the Secretary of the Senate, Parliamentarians, the clerks, reporters of debates, Sergeant at Arms, and our doorkeepers.
"On my own team, I cannot imagine this process -- or really, my office at all -- without the crucial leadership of Sharon Soderstrom, my chief of staff. She works harder and achieves more -- under more pressure -- than almost anyone I've ever had the privilege of working with. Don Stewart, my deputy chief of staff, is the expert hand who helps keep us on course and shapes our communications strategy. Hazen Marshall, my policy director, helped keep this and other priorities on track, including the other bipartisan policy wins the Senate delivered during the nomination debate.
"And John Abegg -- my chief counsel and right-hand man for every step of this process. For fifteen weeks, John poured his determination, his experience, and his wisdom into this process. He started working the moment Justice Kennedy announced he was stepping down and did not stop until the gavel fell. We wouldn't be here without his work. I'm grateful to my policy advisors, my communications team, and my operations staff for all the hard work and late nights they poured into this process. And to Phil Maxson and my personal office team for their assistance.
"But most important of all, I need to close with this. To the men and women of the United States Capitol Police, and all the other law enforcement officers who kept Members, staff, and citizens safe -- even in extremely difficult and often hostile circumstances -- we really cannot thank you enough. Our representative government and the rule of law depend on your dedication, your bravery, and your sacrifice. Thank you so much for keeping the Senate safe."

International Law Practice at Phillips Lytle Gets a Boost
By Michael Petro, originally published in Buffalo Law Journal on 8/17/15.
Laws regulating international business and trade and customs have become an increasingly active and complicated area, and attorney Doug Dimitroff of Phillips Lytle LLP says that locally and throughout the Buffalo-based law firm's footprint, he's seeing more clients doing business in other countries and subsequently needing legal help.
There's a constant need for expertise in international business law, said Dimitroff, co-team leader of the firm's Canadian cross-border practice.
The recent addition of attorney Jon Yormick helps meet that need, he said. Yormick, who has two decades of experience in an international law practice, joined the firm in June as special counsel.
"For clients doing business abroad, a lot of times they're not focused on what the problems could be, and sometimes it's an uphill battle to explain to business folks where they need to be thinking about potential risks and to be proactive about it," said Dimitroff, who also leads the firm's telecommunications team. "They have their everyday busy schedules and priorities that don't always focus on something that simply hasn't been a problem for them in the past. There's a balance there that needs to be struck. So having someone, particularly with Jon's expertise, to boil it down to the basics of where they should be focused and where they should be interested is of great value for a company."
Many attorneys involved in this niche are in some of the biggest U.S. cities. On the East Coast, that means they're usually part of a New York City or Washington, D.C., practice, Yormick said. At Phillips Lytle, he'll work with clients and attorneys with import- and export-related issues including customs, compliance investigations, penalties, export controls and sanctions.
"We live in an atmosphere of regulatory enforcement and we see that across the board with sanctions and customs and export controls, so I am trying to assist clients with compliance upfront, whether that means contract language — including regulatory language on your commercial invoice every time you export something — compliance policies and internal training," he said.
The state and federal governments have been promoting a series of initiatives to encourage U.S. entities to do business abroad. At the same time, the U.S. Department of Commerce is working to get companies from outside the United States to do more business here. The result has been lots of questions and unforeseen issues, according to Dimitroff.
"These businesses are thinking, 'What's the market like abroad and what's the market like in the U.S. if you're not from the U.S.?' My opinion is that those efforts have paid off in more activity but therefore also result in risks that haven't been thought through," he said.
That's where Yormick comes into the picture. He said he's given a number of presentations on export controls and government initiatives to increase exports but warns that it must be done by entities in a way in which the rules are clearly understood and compliance issues satisfied.
Other focus areas for him include risks for Canadian companies that are non-resident importers to the United States. Often they aren't up to speed on customs regulations and other laws, so these companies are at risk of getting hit with penalties and requests for information, Yormick said.
He also represents U.S. and Canadian companies on issues related to the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA.
"A lot of companies going in both directions, north and south, that impact the U.S./Canadian border and the U.S./Mexican border just don't have a good understanding of NAFTA and Country of Origin rules, which can be complex," he said.
For two years there has been export control reform, which provides companies greater opportunities and more flexibility regarding regulations to export goods with additional European and other allied countries, he added.
He also has handled joint venture or acquisition transactions where there is successor liability, which can present problems for the purchaser of a company whose predecessor may have had liability. There are a number of penalty enforcement actions and settlements that can come from that successor liability, Yormick said, adding, "It's all about what questions to ask and how to ask those questions early on in that due diligence process."
He also advises companies on sanctions, especially when dealing with Russian entities and in the oil sector. He said these are complex matters that usually come down to this: Who can you do business with?
"There's been a lot of sanctions activity, as we all know, whether it's Russia, Cuba or Iran," Yormick said. "I advise companies on whether their European subsidiaries and affiliates can continue to do business with Russian companies. Certainly, everyone's interest is piqued now about Cuba and Iran — what you can and cannot do. And that's ever-changing. That's basically an exercise in current affairs."
He said he expects to be working with Phillip Lytle's Washington, D.C., office on many of these issues. And he appreciates the firm's reach into Canada and across New York state, with offices in New York City, Albany, Garden City and Rochester.
When he managed his own firm, the Law Offices of Jon P. Yormick, he worked out of both Buffalo and Cleveland. At this time, he said he's unsure what the future holds for his Ohio presence.
"One of the attractions to Phillips Lytle is that they have that reach, and when I have clients asking me about intellectual property issues and business structuring and business advice, those are things that I don't handle," he said. "So having the firm's resources is very helpful to my practice and serving my clients."

Who doesn't like chips? It's the go-to potato snack or side dish on multiple occasions – whether it's alongside a burger or steak, or by themselves with a dipping sauce If you're looking for a healthier alternative to the classic frying option, here's how to make homemade oven chips.
So, what are the best potatoes for chips? We suggest any spuds of the floury kind – Roosters and Maris Pipers in particular, they're readily available at most supermarkets and make for amazing chips. Top tip! To ensure that your chips end up with a soft, fluffy centre and nicely crisped-up skins, soak them in salted water – this helps remove the starch. Dry them off with a paper towel, drizzle with oil and pile them in the oven.
Make sure your oven is preheated to a high temperature (the highest you can go – around 250c for most fan ovens) and spread the chips out on an oven tray lined with greaseproof paper. Cook them for around 35 – 40 minutes (depending on how chunky your chips are), turn and shake them up several times throughout the cooking time.
Once those chips are lovely and crispy, they're ready to serve up! You can use almost any seasoning at your disposal to make them extra tasty. Our favourites are rosemary, chilli flakes, toasted cumin seeds and celery salt.
You can apply this method to a number of recipes, check out our healthy seed-crusted fish and chips recipe. After that, be sure to explore our wide range of delicious potato recipes here.

Observations of an Invisible Woman

A Message to the Black Man and Black Woman
The year is ending.
In 2016, we'll face old challenges cleverly disguised as new ones. No matter how much we cry and protest, our Black Liberation must come from the WANT to be free from the stranglehold of white demonic domination.
White supremacy or what I simply refer to as Luciferianism, operates on a fear-based premise (terrorism). What you fear, you'll be less apt to fight. Know that the power of The Beast can only come from our Stolen Power as they feed off of our Melanin. Their power is false, a sham, an act, like the Wizard Behind the Curtain as they cannot attract and hold The Real Loving Light. Only Melanin-Rich individuals are given the blessing from the Loving God and the Loving Goddess to hold and keep the Light.
The war we will face will finally manifest itself fully in the flesh as their time on Earth is quickly running out. But…do not be deceived. The real war is Spiritual in nature and NOT physical. This is the real reason why whites are fearful of death. Right now, in some laboratory, they are making human-kind clones with artificial intelligence "just in case" they do not survive. Have you ever wondered why technology is a supreme fascination for them? Lacking the Spiritual Force, also called Ether (EU Melanin), they will perish forever and become extinct. Remember my post on Darkness Matters?
Before pic: Albino Male:
After our Melanin is injected…
Albinism is a skin disease and the ONLY cure is Melanin! Please watch the Will Smith movie: I am Legend. The Pale Race was essentially telling you what he will become in the near future if he doesn't find a way to get and KEEP melanin. Hence the insatiable need for them to ask for blood.
Ever wonder where ALL that blood disappears to?
Trickery, lies and deceit are the poisonous foods Satan uses to keep us in Spiritual bondage. Therefore, please read this next sentence carefully:
EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON TV IS FALSE, A LIE, FABRICATED, A "SHOW", A REHEARSAL, A SKIT, THEATER AND IS DESIGNED TO CONFUSE YOU.
This is why the real and true name for TV is: Tell-Lies-Visionally.
You see the lie with your eyes and are forced by trickery, pretty images, attractive people, lots of money, big houses, big jewelry, glitter, paid testimonies by demons (yes demons) and lustful, longing pleasures to THINK this is how life should really be. In reality, it is the exact opposite! The further away you get from their carefully constructed reality, the better chance you have at survival.
Never believe anything that comes out of their mouths as they are the Children of Lies:
"I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews (liars), and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan." Rev 2:9
Satan's Puppet, the Khazar Kissinger…Obama's Real Boss.
The man who gave Bill Gates the go-ahead to fund this man:
…to create the AIDS virus.
ALL Satan's Khazarian Children. Demons in hueman-like flesh.
When I spoke to Neely Fuller, the best advice he's ever given me, and he gave me A LOT, is this:
"Don't listen to what white people say, look at what they do. Then you'll know what they really stand for."
Well, I've been watching what they do and I know what they stand for.
By giving the entire world the Gift of Death, they've taught us just how sweet and precious life can be. By poisoning our food, water, clothing and air supply, they've taught us just how sweet a ripe, juicy, unspoiled apple really tastes.
By writing laws to enslave, punish, torture, beat, rape, maim and kill us with impunity, we now know how wonderful it is to walk in the warm of the Sun of God, how sweet life can be when surrounded by loved ones, and how magnificent life can when our third EYE is open to their conniving chess games. Only then can be beat them by preparing for their war tactics.
Required Reading: The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene. YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK!!!
Have you ever wondered why the same group of people who invented Race-ism, who elevated themselves as the default of Huemanity now are desperate to claim that Race doesn't matter? Isn't it now funny that they promote interracial sex?
Negro whore prostituting herself with a Khazarian Demon in really expensive clothes, a nice apartment and a great paying job. Thank you, Shonda.
Does it strike you as odd that they now APPEAR to want to fight for our liberation?
This clever maneuver is called Controlled Opposition. It is a Khazar (false-Jew) invention designed to have absolute power over all things and all people. It is designed to confuse the masses. This is why whenever we attempted to create anything for ourselves, they infiltrate our groups and slowly and stealthily take it over. This is done to keep a keen eye on us. What are examples of Controlled Opposition?
Democrat Vs. Republican
Left Vs. Right
Pro Woman Vs. Anti Woman
Gun Advocate Vs. Non Gun Advocate
Muslim Vs. Jew
Underneath the lies and theater, they are ALL the same evil, conniving, plotting, war-thirsty Pale Race our ancestors warned us about.
Their goal is NOT changed since they were "created." Destroy the majority of us and keep the broken as slaves to serve them.
"Non-Jews were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world-only to serve the People of Israel."
The CIA, a Jewish Organization, funds over 3 BILLION dollars annually to "terrorist" groups. What does that mean? It means that the people you see on TV that look "shady", another clever word for "dark", are paid actors and puppets designed to CONFUSE you. Osama Bin Laden was a ruse. Anyone who does mild research on this JEW will discover this.
The war on Islam is cleverly disguised as the War on Dark Skinned Peoples. When they can no longer tell who is a Muslim and who is not, they'll simply kill ALL Dark Peoples. One more devastating attack is coming that will send us back into the Stone Ages.
Whatever comes in the near future is already here so listen closely and Reread this paragraph:
Whites are not EVER going to be able to live in close proximity to us, or on this planet for that matter, and be kind, friendly and caring. Why?
For the exact same reason why the lion and the hyena cannot.
They are mortal enemies and can never really be true friends. Any relationship you think you have with anyone white will be a unilateral relationship. They will stick with you for what you can do for them, then when your duty is finished and you are worn out and broken with naught left to give, they will simply pitch you out into the streets and turn their backs on you.
Did you catch that?
That means the white man/ woman lying naked in your bed isn't going to be there for you when their own genetic survival is at stake. You will be seen as a THREAT to be exterminated. You may wish to reevaluate the real reason why you're in an interracial relationship in the first place. Black Men who engage in fornication with the white female are practicing a form of homosexuality as Yurugu and his Daughter are 100% male spirited. Being the anti-life aspect of Nature, he has no female (life-giving) counterpart. Any group of people without a female counterpart is in serious danger of becoming one of two things:
Or Homosexual (which leads to extinction).
Look at any black male celebrity who exclusively dates whites. Then ask yourself how many times his sexuality has been in question.
Another angle of this carefully manufactured plot is the watering down of the black race and the exclusion of the black female. Both are old but tried and true tactics of warfare. Why do we keep on falling for it? Because:
We do not understand European Military Strategy
We do not CARE to understand European Military Strategy
We are asleep and mind controlled by the TV
We are drugged into a drunken stupor by their poison foods and water
Some of us have simply given up and no longer wish to fight
This post is for those that are still warriors at heart and wish to fight, even to our own death, for the liberation of ALL Dark Peoples. The time is near us now. At this moment, you should NOT be trying to awaken the coyly sleeping black mass. As I've stated in the past, allow them to perish and focus on yourself and on building strong foundations with the ones who are willing and able to fight.
Are you getting ready?
What will you do when the drones, which are now being sold on the internet under the guise of "fun", come into your neighbourhood?
What about clean drinking water?
Can you grow and cook food on your own?
Can you identify which herbs cure/ help to heal illness?
Are you fat and out of shape?
Is the television the most important meal of the day?
Depending on your answers, you have a bit of work to do, don't you?
I love you, my Beautiful Black Family and wish you the best of luck in the future.

Will AmeriKlan Fall Prey to the Zionist's Propaganda Machine
Free Mason, Zimmerman, in court
"I'll kill him," tweeted "Lindsey Franco."
"Watching the Zimmerman Trial. If he don't get life ill kill him myself (sic)," said the ironically named "Love."
"Trayvon Martin need justice ! Gimme me tha pistol ill kill Zimmerman myself," declaredanother Twitter user.
One person offered to kill Zimmerman for $20, and several said they would murder random white people.
"If they don't kill Zimmerman Ima kill me a cracka," said one person, using a racial term for white people that Mediaite's Tommy Christopher said is a "proud nod to the region's history, and one's own ancestry."
"If George Zimmerman win I'm gonna kill a fat white boy dat look lik George Zimmerman I swear lol (sic)," tweeted "Creeplife."
Last year, Martin supporters flocked to Twitter, using the site to express their desire to see Zimmerman killed.
The volume of threats was so high that a member of the family wrote the Seminole County NAACP, saying blood would be on their hands if Zimmerman was harmed.
The unidentified family member said "the rest of the racists that have rushed" to judge Zimmerman will also have blood on their hands if he is hurt.
"You need to call off the dogs. Period. Publicly and swiftly," the letter added.
The New Black Panther Party put out a $10,000 bounty on Zimmerman's head with a "Wanted Dead or Alive" poster and issued calls to murder white people.
"Kill these racist honkeys, these crackers, these pigs, these pink people, It has been long overdue!" the group said in a tweet that has since been deleted.
Meditation works.
For me, it has channeled my emotions to an (almost) desirable state. No longer swift to become enraged, I now look at things in a more quiet fashion. Perhaps my brother was the first person who called it. Last year when the news exploded, he said calmly, "This is more than meets the eye. The devil is involved in this killing of a black boy."
Melanin is a conductor of energy.
Anyone that tells you that melanin (carbon) is NOT needed to sustain life, power the planet and invoke spirits is lying to you. Africa, being the birthplace of ALL life on the planet, holds secrets that we cannot even begin to comprehend. These secrets are not evil. That is the current misconception being propagated by white supremacy. No energy is ever evil. But…the man who channels that energy has the potential to use it for evil. I don't know how he knew, but my very spiritually-aware brother sensed something was wrong from the very beginning.
Ascending Triangle
Mr. Rocafella Himself with Mr. Washington
Since the beginning of time, the Jewish Cabal has desired our melanin-rich power. A power that was not meant for them for they misunderstood the meaning of it. Martin, who I firmly believe was a sacrifice, was needed for Zimmerman and his Jewish father to carry out their desires. What those desires are…only time will tell.
When I heard that Martin laid expired in the morgue for 3 days BEFORE his parents were called, I suspected his most potent melanin-rich power (organ) was extracted and ingested:
The pineal gland.
The "secret" to black God-hood..the reason why fluoride is secretly being administered in our food, drink and air. Since Martin is now in the Spirit realm and cannot tell us what happened, we are left to prognosticate for ourselves. The Jewish Illuminati wish to have "order out of chaos." They want us to tear each other in half, rip our hearts out and devour the very essence of what makes us hueman. Then, like a white knight in shining armour, they'll swoop in and "save" us from ourselves…by further enslaving us.
AmeriKlan, a diseased nation founded and made rich in my ancestor's blood, will fall. There is no doubt in my mind to that fact. My concern is this:
Will the much overplayed hype by the Jewish-controlled media fan the flames of racial hatred into an orgasmic crescendo? Will our emotions over this planned lynching of yet another black family member lead us into a path from which there is no return?
Or…will we awaken and see the traps being set for us?

Jews and the Slave Trade
Eight years BEFORE the publication of The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, Volume 1, Rabbi Marc Lee Raphael published a stunning statement on Jewish involvement in the slave trade. Rabbi Raphael is both a rabbi and a top historian of Jewish history. For the last generation he has been the editor of the quarterly journal, American Jewish History. He is the Nathan and Sophia Gumenick Professor of Judaic Studies, Professor of Religion, and Chair, Department of Religion, The College of William and Mary, and a Visiting Fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford University.
He, and a visiting professor at Brown University, the University of Pittsburgh, HUC-JIR, UCLA, and Case Western Reserve University. He came to The College of William and Mary in 1989 after 20 years at Ohio State University. He is the author of many books on Jews and Judaism in America, and his most recent publication (with his wife Linda Schermer Raphael) is When Night Fell: An Anthology of Holocaust Short Stories (Rutgers University Press, 1999). He is now writing Judaism in America for the Contemporary American Series of Columbia University Press. Visit him at the website of his synagoge, Bet Aviv, in Columbia, Maryland.
The following passages are from Dr. Raphael's book Jews and Judaism in the United States a Documentary History (New York: Behrman House, Inc., Pub, 1983), pp. 14, 23-25.
"Jews also took an active part in the Dutch colonial slave trade; indeed, the bylaws of the Recife and Mauricia congregations (1648) included an imposta (Jewish tax) of five soldos for each Negro slave a Brazilian Jew purchased from the West Indies Company. Slave auctions were postponed if they fell on a Jewish holiday. In Curacao in the seventeenth century, as well as in the British colonies of Barbados and Jamaica in the eighteenth century, Jewish merchants played a major role in the slave trade. In fact, in all the American colonies, whether French (Martinique), British, or Dutch,Jewish merchants frequently dominated.
"This was no less true on the North American mainland, where during the eighteenth century Jews participated in the 'triangular trade' that brought slaves from Africa to the West Indies and there exchanged them for molasses, which in turn was taken to New England and converted into rum for sale in Africa. Isaac Da Costa of Charleston in the 1750's, David Franks of Philadelphia in the 1760's, and Aaron Lopez of Newport in the late 1760's and early 1770's dominated Jewish slave trading on the American continent."
Dr. Raphael discusses the central role of the Jews in the New World commerce and the African slave trade (pp. 23-25):
SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES:
JEWISH INTER-ISLAND TRADE: CURACAO, 1656
During the sixteenth century, exiled from their Spanish homeland and hard-pressed to escape the clutches of the Inquisition, Spanish and Portuguese Jews fled to the Netherlands; the Dutch enthusiastically welcomed these talented, skilled husinessmen. While thriving in Amsterdam-where they became the hub of a unique urban Jewish universe and attained status that anticipated Jewish emancipation in the West by over a century-they began in the 1500's and 1600's to establish themselves in the Dutch and English colonies in the New World. These included Curacao, Surinam, Recife, and New Amsterdam (Dutch) as well as Barbados, Jamaica, Newport, and Savannah (English). In these European outposts the Jews, with their years of mercantile experience and networks of friends and family providing market reports of great use, played a significant role in the merchant capitalism, commercial revolution, and territorial expansion that developed the New World and established the colonial economies. The Jewish-Caribbean nexus provided Jews with the opportunity to claim a disproportionate influence in seventeenth and eighteenth century New World commerce, and enabled West Indian Jewry-far outnumbering its coreligionists further north-to enjoy a centrality which North American Jewry would not achieve for a long time to come.
Groups of Jews began to arrive in Surinam in the middle of the seven-teenth century, after the Portuguese regained control of northern Brazil. By 1694, twenty-seven years after the British had surrendered Surinam to the Dutch, there were about 100 Jewish families and fifty single Jews there, or about 570 persons. They possessed more than forty estates and 9,000 slaves, contributed 25,905 pounds of sugar as a gift for the building of a hospital, and carried on an active trade with Newport and other colonial ports. By 1730, Jews owned 115 plantations and were a large part of a sugar export business which sent out 21,680,000 pounds of sugar to European and New World markets in 1730 alone.
Slave trading was a major feature of Jewish economic life in Surinam which as a major stopping-off point in the triangular trade. Both North American and Caribbean Jews played a key role in this commerce: records of a slave sale in 1707 reveal that the ten largest Jewish purchasers (10,400 guilders) spent more than 25 percent of the total funds (38,605 guilders) exchanged.
Jewish economic life in the Dutch West Indies, as in the North American colonies, consisted primarily of mercantile communities, with large inequities in the distribution of wealth. Most Jews were shopkeepers, middlemen, or petty merchants who received encouragement and support from Dutch authorities. In Curacao, for example, Jewish communal life began after the Portuguese victory in 1654. In 1656 the community founded a congregation, and in the early 1670's brought its first rabbi to the island. Curacao, with its large natural harbor, was the steppng-stone to the other Caribbean islands and thus ideally suited geographically for commerce. The Jews were the recipients of favorable charters containing generous economic privileges granted by the Dutch West Indies Company in Amsterdam. The economic life of the Jewish community of Curacao revolved around ownership of sugar plantations and marketing of sugar, the importing of manufactured goods, and a heavy involvement in the slave trade, within a decade of their arrival, Jews owned 80 percent of the Curacao plantations. The strength of the Jewish trade lay in connections in Western Europe as well as ownership of the ships used in commerce. While Jews carried on an active trade with French and English colonies in the Caribbean, their principal market was the Spanish Main (today Venezuela and Colombia).
Extant tax lists give us a glimpse of their dominance. Of the eighteen wealthiest Jews in the 1702 and 1707 tax lists, nine either owned a ship or had at least a share in a vessel. By 1721 a letter to the Amsterdam Jewish community claimed that "nearly all the navigation…was in the hands of the Jews."' Yet another indication of the economic success of Curacao's Jews is the fact that in 1707 the island's 377 residents were assessed by the Governor and his Council a total of 4,002 pesos; 104 Jews, or 27.6 percent of the taxpayers, contributed 1,380 pesos, or 34.5 percent of the entire amount assessed.
In the British West Indies, two 1680 tax lists survive, both from Barbados; they, too, provide useful information about Jewish economic life. In Bridgetown itself, out of a total of 404 households, 54 households or 300 persons were Jewish, 240 of them living in "ye Towne of S. Michael ye Bridge Town." Contrary to most impressions, "many, indeed, most of them, were very poor." There were only a few planters, and most Jews were not naturalized or endenizened (and thus could not import goods or pursue debtors in court). But for merchants holding letters of endenization, opportunities were not lacking. Barbados sugar-and its by-products rum and molasses-were in great demand, and in addition to playing a role in its export, Jewish merchants were active in the import trade. Forty-five Jewish households were taxed in Barbados in 1680, and more than half of them contributed only 11.7 percent of the total sum raised. While the richest five gave almost half the Jewish total, they were but 11.1 percent of the taxable population. The tax list of 1679-80 shows a similar picture; of fifty-one householders, nineteen (37.2 percent) gave less than one-tenth of the total, while the four richest merchants gave almost one-third of the total.
An interesting record of interisland trade involving a Jewish merchant and the islands of Barbados and Curacao comes from correspondence of 1656. It reminds us that sometimes the commercial trips were not well planned and that Jewish captains-who frequently acted as commercial agents as well-would decide where to sell their cargo, at what price, and what goods to bring back on the return trip.

Dear Black Family,
Ever wonder about "Jewish wealth" and where it came from? I do. Ever wonder why there are so many Jewish-descent peoples in the West Indies/ South America? Ever wonder why peoples who came from Khazar had/have such a large stock and share in rum, molasses, cigars, cotton and sugar cane on Wall Street?
Wonder no further.
Whites have built enormous wealth on the skins of our ancestors. We worked to the the bone and died horrible, devastating deaths to make white people the richest 10% demographic in the WORLD.
Yet they call us lazy, shiftless, good-for-nothing, animalistic niggers. But have no fear, family. The karma that our enemies have given the universe is quickly catching up with them. When The Most High decides what will be the final justice, the torture that they will endure will make our suffering seem like a walk in the park.

They're Not Jews, They are "Jewish"
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan—Revelations 2:9
Roughly in the 8th century, a group of nomadic, incestuous Eurasians lived in the Caucasus Mountains. This region known as Kazyr was occupied and controlled by a multitudinous tribe of ferocious, war-like Mongolian, cannibalistic pagans. Originally Turkish and Slavic, they changed their identity to Jew-"ish" to hide in plain sight. It is believed, according to European documents, that Yitzhak ha-Sangari is the name of the rabbi who converted the Khazars to Judaism according to some Jewish sources.
The Khazars, also called the AshkeNAZI Jews ( there are no coincidences in Jah's world ) outlined in their Holy Book, called The Talmud, their laws. Here are some interesting quotes:
To communicate anything to a Goy about our religious relations would be equal to the killing of all Jews, for if the Goyim knew what we teach about them, they would kill us openly.
When the Messiah comes, every Jew will have 2800 slaves.
I'm writing a post just on the Talmud and it's "Holy laws".
The Kazyr Mongols `language-dialect' was Yiddish and their word "Jew" became their term to designate and circumscribe their new position under Talmudic Judaism. Thus began the biggest hoax, the very birth and beginnings of Judaism's massive conspiracy-masquerade that the World has ever seen or will ever experience. The Kazyr-Mongol Jews had never at anytime set foot on the Biblical Lands and had not a drop of Semitic, which means MULATTO…as in AFRICAN, blood in their bodies.
( Hebrew Israelites of Zimbabwe…the real ones. )
The Jew-ish peoples hide behind discrimination/ anti-Mulatto laws, which they wrote, and despite being roughly 2% of the population, they control over 90% of the world's resources by force, deception, rape and mass killings from their "state" called Israel.

A lot of our portfolio names are starting to get attention. A few weeks ago the CEO of F5 Networks was highlighted, last week I saw Acme Packet CEO show up, and yesterday Tibco Software's (TIBX) CEO made an appearance. I actually prefer my names to be out of the spotlight of the 'retail crowd' to avoid the 'momo' crowd but judging from the charts, the institutional momo crowd has many of our names firmly in hand. Which is going to make them much more dangerous type of stocks to hold into earnings in October as expectations are going through the roof. It's one thing if the name is Salesforce.com which is already well know, but when Tibco (who almost no one has heard of) starts getting pumped by Wall Street, it starts raising yellow and red flags.

Q: Trying to read and print local file to console I'm new to JS and I'm trying to just print the "loadavg" file to the console when I run my program. I don't want to bother doing it through the browser just yet.
This is what I've come up with
function readTextFile() {
  var contents = new File();
  contents.readTextFile("file:///proc/loadavg");
  console.log(contents);
}

I get no errors but the code still will not work

A: With Node JS.
Create a folder and enter it:
mkdir filereader
cd filereader

Init Node JS:
npm init

Edit index.js as new file in the directory:
var fs = require('fs');

let filename = '/proc/loadavg';
fs.readFile(filename, 'utf8', function(err, data) {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log(data)
  });

Save, exit the file, and run the script:
node index.js

Image here in the link:
running the script on Ubuntu Terminal

A: If you dont want to use nodeJS the only way to read text file using javascript is to use file Input
HTML:
<input type="file" id="file_input">

JS:
const fileInput = document.getElementById("file_input")

fileInput.addEventListener("input", (event) => {
    const file = e.target.files[0]
    if(file){
        const reader = new FileReader()
        reader.readAsText(file)
        reader.onload = () => console.log(reader.result)
    }
})

A: You can use nodejs streams to achieve this.
const fs = require('fs'),

var reader = fs.createReadStream('./proc/loadavg');
stream.on('data', function(chunk) {
    process.stdout.write(chunk);
});

Bob Max: An American Hero Who Dedicated His Life to Sharing His Story
Ilyse Muser Shainbrown Director of Holocaust Education and Newark Initiatives
The Holocaust survivors who volunteer their time to share their stories and lessons learned are true treasures of our Greater MetroWest community. They are a source of strength and inspiration. I am so sad to say that, this week, we lost a truly great member of this community. For decades, Bob Max – who, at the age of 97, had been the last surviving American that escaped a slave labor camp – has been telling his stories of adversity and perseverance to countless students, teachers, and community members.
Bob Max was born in Newark in July of 1923. He often said that as a young American Jew, he never could have imagined that his life would have taken the turn it did. But as a college student at Ohio University when the United States entered the war, he immediately knew that he had to go – he just had to.
He talked about how he rejected the offer to play in the Army band because he wanted to be in combat, what life was like in the slave labor camp, and how he ultimately escaped. He talked about the cow on the farm in which he hid and about his time in army hospitals both in Europe and then back home. He talked about his reunion with his brother and about his recovery at Grossingers hotel in the Catskills. And he always mentioned the boots he had with him and how he found them once again.
But the stories didn't stop there. Bob would continue on, telling riveted audiences about his return to Ohio University and how fortunate he was to meet "his Shirley." He would proudly share about how he went on to lead the Jewish students at school and grow to be a leader in the Jewish community in Summit, New Jersey and then continue on about his love of building the UJA community in Summit and spearheading its merger with MetroWest. His dedication to Federation came through in every talk he gave.
After spending a life-changing weekend with Elie Wiesel, Bob knew that he must dedicate his life to telling his own story; the world needed to know. Fortunately, just a few years ago, he was able to fulfill a promise to his beloved wife Shirley before she passed – with the help of Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ leadership, Bob published his life's memoir, The Long March Home, An American Soldier's Life as a Nazi Slave Laborer.
Bob Max was an American hero, but more importantly to him, he was a hero to his Jewish community. Nothing made him happier than being the featured speaker at our Holocaust Council's 2019 Yom HaShoah Commemoration. As I moderated with him that evening, he remained focused and composed as he spoke, clearly so happy to be in a room full of his people, his community. It was where he belonged.
Anyone who has had the privilege of hearing from Bob – and the other survivors – is forever changed by the experience. As the Director of Education for the Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ's Holocaust Council, I have been fortunate to hear countless stories of survival, and to share the experience with my three sons over the years. It saddens me to realize that theirs is the last generation that will hear these stories first hand.
In the early days of quarantine, my boys and I called Bob to check in. He was so interested in how online learning was going for them and how they were engaging in their classes. We all laughed as he shared some stories with us once again, and talked about celebrating Passover on Zoom. He was so proud to hear of all the work the Holocaust Council was doing remotely and he was looking forward to joining virtually in this year's Yom HaShoah Commemoration.
When I learned earlier this month that Bob wasn't doing well, I called him – badly wanting to hear those stories – but was only able to leave a message. And when I learned, last week, that Bob had passed away, my tears flowed. I wanted to take him to a school one more time, anxiously watch the clock as he ran over his allotted time, and hold the treasured uniform and small notebook that he had kept while recovering in the hospital. But then I smiled, for all his stories came flooding back, as my family and I spoke of them and laughed about them. We, and so many others, will always remember his stories and will surely pass them on.

What Is Homeopathy? How Homeopathy Therapy Works? What It Can Do?
At CCHM, our focus is on excellence in training, in response to the best standards of Classical Homeopathic education. Homeopathic doctors create placebo affect by taking history of the patient and these sessions can last as long as an hour! Within the early 1900s, homeopathy was in style in America, with over 15 p.c of all doctors being homeopathic. However reliance on it'll in some instances lead to demise if one forsakes precise proven medication for serious diseases.
For those who had swollen tonsils with burning and stinging pain relieved by cold, a homeopathic remedy ready from the same supply could cure. The homeopathic treatment has been proved by itself, producing its personal unique drug image. The homeopathic doctor then determines which medication greatest matches the signs that the affected person is experiencing and prescribes it. This coaching covers matters like the Legislation of Similars, the theory of dilution and preparation of homeopathic cures. Homeopathic medical doctors routinely deal with instances of typhoid, malaria, fevers of many varieties' abdomen disorders, eczema and skin diseases and many others. Homoeopathy is the best 21th century alternative and the fast rising system of drugs. Traditionally, homeopathy has confirmed many instances to be simpler than allopathic (typical) medication within the remedy and prevention of disease, with out the danger of dangerous side effects.
Pulsatilla (windflower): Maybe probably the most commommon remedy given to each kids and women, this drugs is just not indicated for a selected illness but for a particular pattern of physical symptoms and psychological traits. For the reason that early 1900s, when the American Medical Association and pharmacists waged a battle towards it, homeopathy has been neglected and sometimes ridiculed by mainstream medicine. With a single homeopathic treatment, we can typically deal with a number of issues at once, simplifying the therapy plan dramatically, whereas often getting similar or higher results. If you do not observe some enchancment after 24 hours in an acute situation, the medicine might be not the proper one.
Similarly, in 2010, the Japanese government started investigating deaths of babies ensuing from homeopathic therapy as a substitute of real medicine. Deaths included infants born with a vitamin K deficiency, whose moms' midwives administered a homeopathic remedy as a substitute of the a lot-wanted vitamin Ok injection, well-known to stop hemorrhaging. A second precept of homeopathy is that it is best to give the least amount of drugs necessary to evoke a therapeutic response.
But this is not to bash all doctors as I additionally know some fantastic people who are doctors…and they'll openly admit these points with traditional drugs. There are some wonderful books about homeopathic self-care which I extremely suggest to learn to self medicate in case acute illness or trauma and emergencies. Typically a homeopathic doctor will use lab assessments to determine a patient's basic degree of health. Effective: Homeopathic Medication, prescribed by skilled homeopaths aren't solely protected, however are extremely effective for each acute and continual instances, for all age teams.

Disease surveillance
Telemetry studies

It has long been known that wild birds represent a reservoir for low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) viruses worldwide but to date, wild birds have not been identified as the reservoir for the H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) strain that has resulted in the rapid spread of this disease across Asia into Europe and Africa from 2005 onwards in domestic poultry, wild birds, and humans.
This virus is unique among the Avian Influenza viruses in that it has killed thousands of wild birds, resulted in over 200 human deaths, resulted in death or destruction of millions of domestic poultry, impacted negatively on people's livelihoods, commerce and trade, and eliminated a protein source of many people in developing and developed countries. This demonstrates the importance of understanding the ecology of this disease and the interphase between domestic and wild avian species.
Land-use changes resulting in farms and wetlands being closer to one another, and open grazing of poultry in rice fields and wetlands shared with wild birds creates mechanisms for transmission of viruses amongst these sectors. As well, spreading of infected manure as fertilizer, or water run-off from infected farms into natural habitats may also explain possible mechanisms by which disease moves from poultry production operations or households into wild bird habitats.
The unusual outbreak of H5N1 HPAI in wild migratory birds in China in 2005 which lead to the death of over 6,000 wild birds and the rapid geographic spread thereafter into West Asia , Europe and Africa has resulted in the need to carefully evaluate the role of wild birds in maintaining and spreading the H5N1 HPAI virus. While it is known that the legal and illegal trade of poultry and poultry products, or unintentional movement of the virus by humans are the primary sources of disease movement, the extent to which free flying wild birds contribute to sustaining and spreading the disease needs to be determined.

American Girl Character Encyclopedia Book Review!
I have loved the previous American Girl books by DK and I have a new favorite: the American Girl Character Encyclopedia. It's a book we have all been waiting for! The company sent me an early copy to review and I can't wait to share it with you.
The book starts off with the American Girl Characters, first with Beforever. There are two pages for each and it covers many fun facts about their personality and time periods.
Every historical doll is included, even the dolls who are in the American Girl archives.
Next is the Girl of the Year characters from 2001 Lindsey to 2017 Gabriela. I love how it tells what happened in their year too!
This is a great book for the new American Girl Fans who are not familiar with the previous dolls. You can learn so much! It's also a lot of fun for the ones who can reminiscence and look back at American Girl through the years.
I love the pages for the new characters too--Tenney & Z. Logan is also featured briefly in a picture.
As you get further in the book, you can read about all of the doll's Pet Pals. Coconut has always been one of my favorites!
The pictures are fabulous! So detailed.
As you get to the end of the book, it's all about the Truly Me dolls Perfect Pasttimes, their hobbies and activities. My favorite page is this Art & Crafts one!
Click on the photos above to read the pages and get a closer view! They are from the Truly Me chapter and Girls On The Go, which show all of the doll's accessories they can use to explore.
Rebecca's Movie Set and Kit's Tree House are part of the Amazing Places chapter. I like how there is a good mix of all dolls in the book, not one is shown more than the other. A lot of work went into this and it definitely shows!
One of the best parts of the book to me are the Character Gallery and Truly Me Gallery at the back with every American Girl doll.
There are other galleries for the doll pets & accessories too. I really like seeing everything all together!

American Girl: The Story of America and Ultimate Sticker Collection: American Girl Dress Up Book Review!
Today there were two new American Girl books released by DK, American Girl: The Story of America and Ultimate Sticker Collection: American Girl Dress-Up. The company sent me these copies to share with you and review!
First, you can travel back in time with the Beforever characters in American Girl: The Story of America. This book retails for $12.99. Inside there are two pages about each doll, along with information about their time periods. Each page features historically accurate items from American Girl to illustrate the moment in time being described. The "Did You Know?" panels offer fun trivia facts about each doll's culture and home. My favorite part is the historical activities and craft ideas that you can do!
The opening page with all of the dolls is so cute, I love it!
Here's a peek at some of the pages. All of the photos in this book are gorgeous!!
Being a history buff, I really liked reading all of the timelines.
It's a very informative book about U.S. History, plus it's fun to look through!
Next up is the Ultimate Sticker Collection: Dress-Up Edition! This book also retails for $12.99. It's similar to their other Ultimate Sticker Collection they released last year, but is a step up. There are 1,000+ high-quality stickers in the book.
This time the stickers are of the clothes, shoes, accessories, and other American Girl items. You can dress up and style each doll in their signature outfits or mix and match to create one-of-a-kind looks. There is a cute patterned silhouette where the stickers should be. There are a few additional pages where you can make your own scenes with the stickers too. The book features all of the current Beforever dolls, Truly Me, and Girl of the Year 2017 Gabriela McBride. Like the other book, it has a lot of info about the characters and their items.
All of the dolls and their outfits are beautiful on the bright, glossy pages.
Here's a page I worked on and it turned out great!! I love the winter clothes.
All of the stickers are in the back of the book and there are LOTS of them!
