You can clearly see that Mah is a lucky bastard
You may remember me mentioning that Chris Mah scored an original original hard cover copy of the Sea of Cortez detailing John Steinbeck's and Ed Ricketts' journeys on the Western Flyer. Since that day in Newport when Chris purchased the single copy and I of course went empty handed, I have thought of that illustrious hard covered chronicle.
Many of you might not notice the subtle distinction here. In 1940, Steinbeck went on a voyage around the Gulf of California with Ricketts. Upon their return, they published Sea of Cortez: A Leisurely Journal of Travel and Research, which was one part Steinbeck's journal from the expedition and one part Ricketts' species catalogue (although Rickett's did write parts of the narrative). When Ricketts passed in 1948, Steinbeck removed Ricketts' species inventory from the book and republished it as the The Log from the Sea of Cortez. Steinbeck added to it a eulogy to his departed friend.
Now it is very hard to come by a copy of the Sea of Cortez as it did rather poorly in sales after the original printing and I think it has rarely been printed. I did just find that a soft cover printing came out in July of this year. However, a genuine hardcover will easily set you back $300-$900. See also the listings at Albiris. If the copy is inscribed by John Steinbeck to….I don't know…noted Australian novelist Ruth Park or Emilio "Indio" Fernandez who collaborated with Steinbeck to direct the Mexican adaptation of the The Pearl "La Perla", you are looking at an easy $10,000.
On the other hand, The Log from the Sea of Cortez is still being published and easily acquired for about $10, although a first edition will set you back a couple hundred.
Above you can clearly see that Dr. Mah's copy is the original and in great condition. Let me also go on record and say that his copy also cost considerably less than market value. Chris (is he rubbing it in?) sent an email today bringing this copy to my attention which has to be my favorite one yet. Too bad I don't have the $20,000.
This copy is inscribed in pencil by Ed Ricketts to his wife Alice Campbell: "To Alice from Ed. October 31, 1947. For remembering a belt that looks like a wood carving, 'for us a measure of continuance.'" Enclosed is the marriage certificate (#148484) of Alice and Ed signed by a justice of the peace in Las Vegas, with a vintage photograph of Ricketts, (5″ x 7″), black and white, with the original negative

Craig McClain is the Executive Director of the Lousiana University Marine Consortium. He has conducted deep-sea research for 20 years and published over 50 papers in the area. He has participated in and led dozens of oceanographic expeditions taken him to the Antarctic and the most remote regions of the Pacific and Atlantic. Craig's research focuses on how energy drives the biology of marine invertebrates from individuals to ecosystems, specifically, seeking to uncover how organisms are adapted to different levels of carbon availability, i.e. food, and how this determines the kinds and number of species in different parts of the oceans. Additionally, Craig is obsessed with the size of things. Sometimes this translated into actually scientific research. Craig's research has been featured on National Public Radio, Discovery Channel, Fox News, National Geographic and ABC News. In addition to his scientific research, Craig also advocates the need for scientists to connect with the public and is the founder and chief editor of the acclaimed Deep-Sea News (http://deepseanews.com/), a popular ocean-themed blog that has won numerous awards. His writing has been featured in Cosmos, Science Illustrated, American Scientist, Wired, Mental Floss, and the Open Lab: The Best Science Writing on the Web.

I was just thinking 20,000 would be about the cost to operate the Doc Ricketts for like a day!
Matt H. says:
Not sure if you noticed, but it looks like the reprinted the orginal book! http://www.amazon.com/Sea-Cortez-Leisurely-Journal-Research/dp/0143117211/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1264576051&sr=1-1
I'm going to go see if the local book store has it.
Rebecca Quin says:
My mother actually has one of these original hardback first editions. The book is in good condition but unfortunately the jacket is badly damaged- it is torn down the spine and as it is a 70 year old piece of paper it is as she describes "falling to pieces". The book is fine though. It is inscribed by Carl L. Hubbs who was the head of the marine bio;logy department at the Institute of Oceanography at La Jolla. It says "With best wishes, Carl Hubbs".
Any advice on how much it is worth, or how to sell it, or any offers would be welcome. My email is [email protected]

Local Is The New Global
By PAT REGNIER Monday, Feb. 25, 2002
She may divide her time among New York, Kampala and New Delhi, but don't call Mira Nair a global filmmaker. "I'm sitting here looking at films that are a product of global culture, and they don't have a soul," says the director of Monsoon Wedding, who was in Germany this month for the Berlin film festival. "Monsoon is so specifically local."
Okay, but it's a locality with a really busy airport. The Indian wedding of the title may be an arranged marriage accompanied by Bollywood-style singing and dancing, but the groom is an engineer who lives in Houston. Extended...

MIDDLEWICH ground to a halt on Friday in Britain's desperate bid to keep its roads clear.
The town found itself gridlocked as hundreds of lorries queued along Booth Lane to enter the British Salt site.
The snow of the past week has led to a nationwide shortage of rock salt, with councils eager to delve into the company's 100,000 tonnes stockpile of low-grade processed salt.
But with more than 1,200 lorries entering the Cledford Lane site, traffic tailed back for miles.
More than 30,000 tonnes of the stockpile has been taken away, and plans are now in place to transport the remaining amount to Burton -on-Trent. Specialist company Ice Thaw will then blend it with grit.


This creative, fresh-tasting dish is nothing like the ones that have given cold pasta a bad name. Gallante forgoes the standard mayonnaise-based dressing in favor of a tangy, vibrant salsa verde made with tomatillos, jalapeños, anchovy and herbs. He tosses the salsa with warm farfalle, then tops the pasta with grated slabs of salty, grilled ricotta salata cheese.
Tame the hot chile peppers and garlic in this dish with a refreshingly fruity off-dry Riesling.
As the chef at Manhattan's L'Impero, Scott Conant is a busy man. Maybe that's why his wonderful pasta recipes are so well suited to the needs of the cook who's pressed for time.
Sommelier Larry Stone of Rubicon suggests using any leftover hot chili oil for making stir-fries and popping popcorn.
This pasta, packed with summer squash and herbs, is designed to be eaten as part of a multicourse meal. It will serve eight as a main dish.
Some cooks are surprised when Grace tells them she mixes pesto into meatballs to add flavor quickly. If you're pressed for time, good store-bought pesto works too.

The Fourth Edition of the Jaipur Jewellery Show was a fine blend of B2B and B2C interaction. It enjoyed a notable response from exhibitors, customers, consumers, and visitors. Held on the threshold of the New Year, from Dec. 22 to 25, 2006, at Raj Mahal Palace, it was a good opportunity for the colored-stone industry located beyond the traditional hub of Jaipur.
The Pink City of Jaipur was a splash of emerald green with posters of the JJS spread across the city. The elegantly designed, thematic posters were released last November by Vasundhara Raje, chief minister of Rajasthan.
The show was inaugurated by Donna Baker, president, Gemological Institute of America. She spoke on the The Emerald Book that was released in the opening ceremony. The Emerald Book, a coffee table read, cowritten by Yogi Durlabhji, Shyamala Fernandes, and Ruchi Durlabhji, covers topics ranging from the technical, historical, designing, and business angles of the green gem. She said that the book would help create awareness and promote sales of emeralds and be a handy source of information for exhibitors, designers, and visitors.
Sanjay Kothari, chairman, Gems and Jewellery Export Promotion Council, who was the next speaker, said that setting up the gem testing laboratory in Jaipur was a huge task that the council had recently completed. He further informed that GJEPC has proposed to the government, asking for a separate national council and an independent ministry for the gems and jewelry sector, since the industry has seen tremendous growth in the recent past and is expected to grow at a phenomenal rate.
The two interactive seminars at the show were scheduled on the topics of "Emeralds" and "New Concepts and Jewelry Designing." Shyamala Fernandes and Ruchi Durlabhji led the seminar on the former, while Schmul Vyas took a session on the latter.
Another highlight of the JJS was the fashion show inspired by the Navrasas (the nine emotions that define Indian performing arts). Held at the Birla Auditorium, performances of the evening included a stand-up act, live fusion music, and a jugalbandi (musical performance for two solo players) that culminated in a fusion track—a combination of Indian and Western vocals.
Jewels Emporium and Birdichand Ghanshyamdas won the Best Stall Award at the show and Aastha Kala and Samta Baid were honored with the Women Entrepreneur Award—an award that was conceived with the intent to encourage the participation of women in the event. ATLT Inc. won the poster competition; Samta Baid, Gagan Choudhary, and Abhishek Singhal were declared as winners in the English essay competition; while Vandna Khungar, Meenubrajesh Vyas, and Jitendra Dev Sharma won the Hindi essay competition.
Major gem and jewelry events and shows like the GJIIE (Gold Jewellery India International Exhibition), the IIJS (India International JewelryShow), and the JCK Show-New Delhi, take place at the B2B level. JJS stood apart because of its dual B2B and B2C nature.
Sandip Jhalani, partner, Namrata Ghiya, commented, "Since we deal in fine jewelry, both consumers and customers were welcome and we did good business." Atul Agarwal from RMC, was pleased with the planned execution as compared with last year. He said, "We made average business. Ideally the show has to be a balance of both B2B and B2C." Sunil Jain, Beautiful Jewels, reasoned, "B2B and B2C is a good idea considering aspects of business. My business has been good, as people are appreciating our bridal collection much before the wedding season," he chuckled.
Ajay Kala, director, Sara Jewels, revealed that "The show would be an ideal platform to establish oneself in the industry. JJS has become the hub for both color stone jewelry and hand-made jewelry. We had a whopping response this year and hope we have 500 exhibitors next year. In fact, we are looking forward for a permanent convention center to host the show regularly at," he concluded.
Traditional jewelry seems to be getting in vogue all over again, as noted in the JJS. Traditional forms like kundan (a method of gem setting), meenakari (enamelling), and thewa (fusing gold and glass) continued to be in demand, while silver jewelry with the modern motif attracted attention. Chandelier earrings, pendants with big stones, and bangles were much in demand.
Trend had it that most of the sales reported were of single colored jewelry pieces and not multicolor designs. Rubies and emeralds were the front-runners in the gemstone segment, while pearls and tourmalines played successful runners-up.
The convener of JJS, Rashmikant Durlabhji, revealed his plans to make JJS 2007 an international show with over 500 participants. "It will fulfill the vision of placing Jaipur on the world map," he reiterated.

Home > The global, regional, and national burden of cirrhosis by cause in 195 countries and territories, 1990–2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017
The global, regional, and national burden of cirrhosis by cause in 195 countries and territories, 1990–2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 [1]
Cirrhosis and other chronic liver diseases (collectively referred to as cirrhosis in this paper) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally, although the burden and underlying causes differ across locations and demographic groups. We report on results from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2017 on the burden of cirrhosis and its trends since 1990, by cause, sex, and age, for 195 countries and territories.
We used data from vital registrations, vital registration samples, and verbal autopsies to estimate mortality. We modeled prevalence of total and decompensated cirrhosis on the basis of hospital and claims data. Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) were calculated as the sum of years of life lost due to premature death and years lived with disability. Estimates are presented as numbers and age-standardized or age-specific rates per 100,000 population, with 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs). All estimates are presented for five causes: hepatitis B, hepatitis C, alcohol-related liver disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and other causes. We compared mortality, prevalence, and DALY estimates with those expected according to the Socio-demographic Index (SDI) as a proxy for the development status of regions and countries.
In 2017, cirrhosis caused more than 1.32 million (95% UI 1.27–1.45) deaths (440,000 [416,000–518,000; 33.3%] in females and 883,000 [838,000–967,000; 66.7%] in males) globally, compared with 899,000 (829,000–948,000) deaths in 1990. Deaths due to cirrhosis constituted 2.4% (2.3–2.6) of total deaths globally in 2017 compared with 1.9% (1.8–2.0) in 1990. Despite an increase in the number of deaths, the age-standardized death rate decreased from 21.0 (19.2–22.3) per 100,000 population in 1990 to 16.5 (15.8–18.1) per 100,000 population in 2017. Sub-Saharan Africa had the highest age-standardized death rate among GBD super-regions for all years of the study period (32.2 [25.8–38.6] deaths per 100,000 population in 2017), and the high-income super-region had the lowest (10.1 [9.8–10.5] deaths per 100,000 population in 2017). The age-standardized death rate decreased or remained constant from 1990 to 2017 in all GBD regions except eastern Europe and central Asia, where the age-standardized death rate increased primarily due to increases in alcohol-related liver disease prevalence. At the national level, the age-standardized death rate of cirrhosis was lowest in Singapore in 2017 (3.7 [3.3–4.0] per 100,000 in 2017) and highest in Egypt in all years since 1990 (103.3 [64.4–133.4] per 100,000 in 2017). There were 10.6 million (10.3–10.9) prevalent cases of decompensated cirrhosis and 112 million (107–119) prevalent cases of compensated cirrhosis globally in 2017. There was a significant increase in age-standardized prevalence rate of decompensated cirrhosis between 1990 and 2017. Of the five causes, hepatitis B caused the greatest proportion of cirrhosis deaths (29.0%) and prevalent cases of both decompensated (27.9%) and compensated (32.6%) cirrhosis in 2017. Cirrhosis caused by NASH had a steady age-standardized death rate throughout the study period, whereas the other four causes showed declines in age-standardized death rate. The age-standardized prevalence of compensated and decompensated cirrhosis due to NASH increased more than for any other cause of cirrhosis (by 33.2% for compensated cirrhosis and 54.8% for decompensated cirrhosis) over the study period. The number of prevalent cases more than doubled for compensated cirrhosis due to NASH and more than tripled for decompensated cirrhosis due to NASH. The age-standardized death and DALY rates decreased with increasing SDI, whereas age-standardized prevalence increased for decompensated cirrhosis and remained constant for compensated cirrhosis.
Cirrhosis imposes a substantial health burden on many countries and this burden has increased at the global level since 1990, partly due to population growth and aging. Although the age-standardized death and DALY rates of cirrhosis decreased from 1990 to 2017, numbers of deaths and DALYs and the proportion of all global deaths due to cirrhosis increased. Despite the availability of effective interventions for the prevention and treatment of hepatitis B and C, they were still the main causes of cirrhosis burden worldwide, particularly in low-income countries. The impact of hepatitis B and C is expected to be attenuated and overtaken by that of NASH in the near future. Cost-effective interventions are required to continue the prevention and treatment of viral hepatitis, and to achieve early diagnosis and prevention of cirrhosis due to alcohol-related liver disease and NASH.

From our perspective, a polarity is two forces that work in union together to create a child, and then the three flow as One, but a duality is a synthetic construct and false reality where one of the three is removed, causing the other two to fight between each other… for example, the government (child), liberals (mother), and conservatives (father). The three forces are meant to work together, but somehow the runaway child (creation) is now in charge and the people fight against each other in how to deal with the petulant child, whom they perceive as the author(ity) of their lives. In short, dualities fight against one another, while polarities co-create in union together.
Whereas polarity is an aspect of natural law and non-negotiable, duality is an unnatural tangent where beings must first enter into an agreement to experience it.
The closest thing that we have come to understand about the Neutral Evil (for lack of a better word) and True Neutral dispositions (for those with a D&D background), is that the Neutral Evil disposition has found a balance from the outside-in, while the True Neutral disposition has found their balance from the inside-out. It is our opinion that the True Neutral disposition is the most natural and authentic of the neutral experiences available to beings, and as such, the most closely aligned with nature. Also, True Neutral is expansive while Neutral Evil is entropic, and will eventually collapse in upon itself, ie, its logical conclusion is that it is not sustainable because it must feed outside-in, whereas a True Neutral can generate with infinite potential from the inside-out.


Cherington HR Ltd. is currently celebrating its 12th anniversary. It was founded in the spring of 2006 to provide high-class HR support to employers in the three counties locally.

Based in Upton upon Severn and founded by Helen Astill, Cherington HR has supported 196 different clients over the last 12 years and dealt with a wide range of activities including: helping with recruitment; writing employment documents and policies; investigating and managing disciplinary and grievance cases; handling redundancy situations; providing training; and carrying out psychometric assessments for both recruitment and development purposes. At the moment the business is very busy dealing with GDPR compliance as the new data protection legislation comes into force, so it looks like business as usual for the foreseeable future.

You may want to think about more than one format of resume if you are applying for several jobs. When you format your resume you have to safeguard your leave enough margin distance to allow for printing. The third kind of resume format is referred to as the hybrid or combination format. Part of creating a successful resume is choosing the most suitable structure to inform your private story. Each resume format includes a certain purpose and highlights distinct portions of the candidate's history.
In some cases what you will need is not a resume template at all. The template is given with a well-crafted format and a number of the major content details that might help someone carve out a resume for themselves easily and at hardly any moment. Similarly when selecting resume templates also, deciding on an easy and basic resume templates is always an outstanding idea. Implementing a resume template is now an acceptable and clever practice for many reasons.
Consider what you are going to be putting in your resume, and select your template so. It is likely to also find resume template that is also known. The templates are useful as it is left with blank spaces collectively with supplied with directions that could help 1 fill out the spaces. According to your industry or if you're an academic, you might actually have to use a CV template.
The aim of a resume is to highlight your abilities, experience and accomplishments that are related to the function you are interested in being in. It's essential for you to understand what your needs are prior to applying for any position. You will have to recognize that every nation has different requirements too. Because of this, you should understand the whole requirement asked by employers prior to creating a biodata. Knowing the full program requirement becomes the major point to perform, particularly when you're asking for a new job.
As you're aware identifying businesses and employers have various requirements, but something you might not be mindful of is the different nations have different application requirements also. By assessing your resume for the job you would like, you can show companies you've got the skills and expertise they are searching for. Many employers cross-reference your resume into your on-line presence. Most companies are not expecting you to receive extensive experience because a internship is generally the very first encounter students have in their area.
Simply make sure, whichever format you choose, which you're targeting it to your job which you're applying to. Making your resume is your very first step to obtaining work. To start with, take a wonderful look in the job posting itself. Even in the event that you have never held a formal job, it's still true that you have life experience that's applicable to the work search. You should tailor the restart for the specific job that you're applying for.
Your resume will be divided into segments. Together with describing your professional background and degree of experience, your resume is the best location to highlight your abilities. While Canadian resumes are available in many diverse formats, they share some criteria that you need to know about.
The additional skills can be in accord with the job or entirely different. Moreover, you can include things like abilities which were used at a specific job position in a specific period and do not neglect to mention your own scholarship resume. Your computer abilities will be particularly appealing and have to be emphasized. For an entry-level job in a bank, money handling skills will probably be required.
Because you will likely have little if any specialist experience, do not be afraid to fill your instruction section with an abundance of information. If work experience is not your crucial highlight or whether you've got an inconsistent work history, its best advisable to start your resume with your own qualifications. While you may be fighting to think of pertinent work experience, Ryan says that you've got more than you understand. Sometimes, you may not really have the essential work experiences that are relevant with the job which you're applying for. Generally, higher college students have a tendency to focus on their club involvement whilst college students frequently incorporate major class jobs. If you're a high schooler that's been admitted to a school already, you could also say your faculty's name and the date you will begin attending. Your contact info should always go at the very top of your resume, so that companies can readily find it. This information can be helpful to a huge category of people. Posting personal information concerning the web could bring about undesirable attention.

Maria Cunha Elected to Board of the Theodore Edson Parker Foundation
LOWELL, MA – The trustees of the Theodore Edson Parker Foundation have voted Maria Cunha to the board effective July 1, 2022. Maria has served as an advisor to the Foundation since 2019.
Parker President Karen Carpenter made the announcement of the appointment following the Spring Board of Trustees meeting, and said, "we are thrilled that Maria joins us. Her life truly reflects servant leadership and expands our commitment to Lowell. As the third woman on the board, an immigrant, and a Lowell resident, Maria's addition to the board represents another key step in realizing our commitment to having the Foundation's leadership reflect Lowell's diverse community."
Born in the Azores and coming to Lowell with her family in 1967, Maria quickly learned English and excelled in the Lowell Public Schools, receiving a scholarship to Regis College, being the first in her family to attend and graduate college. For over 30 years, she has supported immigrants and refugees in Lowell through her work at the International Institute, Congressman Meehan's district office, and as an administrator at Middlesex Community College. "I am grateful and honored for the opportunity to join as a trustee. Throughout my career living and working in Lowell for over 40 years, I have witnessed the impact the Parker Foundation has had on the many organizations serving immigrants, youth, and our most vulnerable citizens," said Maria in response to her board appointment.

SI Goes Gaga Over Lady Gaga's Born This Way
By SearchIndia.com on May 31, 2011 2 Comments
Even by the bizarre theatrical standards of entertainers these days, American pop queen Lady Gaga is sui generis for her outrageous attire and antics (she came to the Grammys function in a huge egg carried by four men).
Upon seeing Lady Gaga in her de rigueur skimpy attire, the late night TV host David Letterman rightly asked her the other day, What are you not wearing ? 🙂
Born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, the 25-year-old New Yorker is today a household name sensation in America.
Is Lady Gaga a path-breaking pop-star or just the hit of the season?
Oh, what a silly, lowbrow, middle-class question.
Who knows? And does it even matter any more given the worshipful throngs flocking and genuflecting at Lady Gaga's altar.
Her latest album Born This Way debuted May 23.
And Billboard is projecting it'll sell 1.15 million albums in the first week.
In a bow to popular taste, SI purchased Lady Gaga's Born This Way from Amazon.com the other day.
(By the way, if you have iTunes installed on your PC, the Amazon MP3 tracks download directly into your iTunes software. Cool.)
Having listened to all the tracks in Born This Way, we confess that SI has joined the unwashed masses, the screaming hordes, the ecstatic devotees in paying homage to this savvy entertainer.
If you quidnuncs insist on knowing our favorites from the album, they are Government Hooker, Americano and Judas.
Americano is a clever fusion of English and Spanish lyrics designed to appeal to both the English-speaking and the growing Hispanic population in America.
With pleasing beats and frequent shouts of 'America' and 'Americano' in a come-here-my-man-let-me-deep-throat-you vocals, the track not surprisingly endeared itself to us, particularly in our inebriated state.
Our soused mind also read a not-so-veiled reference to immigration authorities with its taunt of Don't you try to catch me.
Our second favorite track turned out to be Judas. With its refrain on a figure, whose recognition to the Western mind is second only to Jesus Christ, the track with lyrics such as the following is bound to easily strike a chord with the babe's fans and previously non-fans like us:
I'm just a Holy fool, oh baby it's so cruel
But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
Other interesting tracks include the funky Government Hooker with its outlandish references to John F.Kennedy, who died 23-years before this smartalec Lady Gaga was born.
Hoo-ooker
(Yeah, You're my hooker)
(Government Hooker)
Bloody Mary is a quieter, softer, sombre number that harks back to a slower era.
At the end of the album day, music is something that strikes at your heart and makes it skip a beat or two or three.
With Born This Way, Lada Gaga made our heart skip, skip, skip many, many, many beats.
By the way, the word Chola appears twice in the title track Born This Way. Whatever the hell Chola means to Lady Gaga!
Now, if you'll excuse us, Scheiße scheiße be mine, bullshit be mine. (a line from the Scheiße track) is playing in the background. 😉
Born This Way, Lady Gaga

hey SI…. "Judas" is addictive. I ve listened it over 10 times in the past 2 days 🙂
Just curious.. you write "In a bow to popular taste, SI purchased Lady Gaga's Born This Way…".and you went GAGA over it (to quote you).
Back in India, Rajini, Kamal are hugely popular among the masses and the mass enjoy their movies, but you trash them in your reviews. How could you question the collective intelligence/taste of such a huge population? 😉 There must be something that is likable and make these people want to watch them in action right?
SearchIndia.com Responds:
You write: How could you question the collective intelligence/taste of such a huge population? 😉 There must be something that is likable and make these people want to watch them in action right?
Interesting point.
In Somalia, piracy has a high degree of legitimacy with entire families and clans involved in the planning, hijacking and ransom operations. It's likely that more Somalis are employed in piracy-related activities than in any other vocation.
So, should we heap praise on the Somalis because of piracy's popularity there and embrace similar tactics to solve the unemployment situation here.
Bottom line, while taste is often subjective there are some activities/movies/art that are completely beyond the pale. Most Tamil movies would fall in this 'beyond the pale' non-subjective category.
Lady Gaga's Born This Way might not rise to the level of high art but it's certainly not low trash either.
Now, if you'll excuse us, we'd like to listen to Judas for the millionth time.
Oh yeah, a lot of Indians are merely Somalis of a different color.
Naveen June 8, 2011 at 9:37 pm
Looks like the Lady showed too much too soon.
http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart_watch/74373/week-ending-june-5-2011-albums-gagas-record-drop-off/
Lady Gaga was Blessed or Cursed by that 99-cent Amazon.com deal for the full Born This Way album.
Yes, being one-time cheapo Indians we paid 99-cent for our album. 😉 Smoothly downloaded into our iTunes from Amazon.com.
Off-topic:
BTW, Best News of the Day – Still, No Air-Conditioning for Kanimozhi. 🙂
God, if only Dayanidhi Maran and Kalanidhi Maran are also denied Air-Conditioning that would make us Doubly Happy.
Really, Really Happy! 😆

iFixit in honor of the 10-year anniversary showed the dismantling of all models of the iPhone

"iPhone is an integral part of consumer life, and in our day as never before it determines the way we communicate, entertain, work and live. iPhone has set new standards in mobile technology, but this is only the beginning. The best is yet to come," said Apple CEO Tim cook.
For 10 years, Apple has released fifteen iPhone models – iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, and iPhone SE the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Specialists iFixit have decided to celebrate 10-year anniversary of the smartphone by posting a gallery of all iPhone models in the analysis with the assessment of the maintainability of each machine.
iFixit pointed to one remarkable fact. Unlike Apple computers, the repair of which with each new model becoming more complicated, the iPhone almost from the beginning was non-repairable, but in the future, the company corrected the situation.
"iPhone is thinner, wider and sleeker. However, they have become more maintainable. iPhone first generation earned only 2 points out of a possible 10. He had a non-removable battery, and open the unit without damaging the housing was virtually impossible," — noted in the company.

Why No One Trusts Maliki: The Example Of Diyala
Diyala Province (Wikimedia)
One of the reasons why it has taken so long to put together a new Iraqi government is because no one trusts Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. All of the major parties have accused him of autocratic tendencies and abusing his power. The premier's use of the security forces for his own political ends in Diyala province is a perfect example.
The problems between Maliki and Diyala started over the 2009 provincial elections. Back in 2007 the Iraqi Accordance Front, led by the Iraqi Islamic Party, began building up its popular base for the vote by brokering alliances with various Sons of Iraq (SOI) groups that were emerging in the governorate at that time. Maliki immediately attempted to intervene using a carrot and stick approach. He used the cover of anti-insurgent campaigns in the province to arrest members of the Islamic Party and their friends in the SOI, while at the same time attempting to pry away SOI units by offering them government jobs. In August 2008 for example, security forces from Baghdad arrested Hussein Zubeidi, the head of the security committee on the council, who was working with the SOI. The man who accused him ended up saying that he made up his charges, yet Zubeidi is still being held in a prison to this day.
Maliki's plan failed as the Accordance Front and its allies ended up winning the 2009 balloting. The Front won nine seats out of 29 on the provincial council, followed by six by Saleh al-Mutlaq's Iraqi National Project, six by the Kurdish Alliance made up of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), three by Iyad Allawi's Iraqi National List, two by Maliki's State of Law, two by the Supreme Council's Diyala Coalition, and one by former Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari's National Reform Party. The Accordance Front, Supreme Council, and Kurdish Alliance quickly re-formed the ruling coalition in the council that took power in 2005, shut out Maliki's list, and elected a council head and governor. That did little to end Maliki's campaign against his political opponents in the governorate.
When the newly elected politicians met to select a governor in April 2009 they had a surprise waiting for them. Members of the Baghdad Brigade came into the meeting with arrest warrants for three Sunni politicians. A U.S. diplomat intervened, and the soldiers left. They returned the next month with warrants for council member Abdul Jabbar Ibrahim Khazraji of the Accordance Front and Abu Ali, an SOI leader in Diyala's capital Baquba. The head of the council went to call the U.S. military for help, but when he returned Khazraji and Abu Ali had already been detained and were headed for a prison in Baghdad. The Americans got Abu Ali released, but Khazraji is still in jail to this day. The incident sent several other members of the governorate's council into hiding afraid that they too would be arrested. Sure enough, in November, the second deputy governor and Accordance Front member Mohammed al-Jabouri was also picked up.
Maliki's campaign against Diyala's politicians continued into 2010. Before the March parliamentary election, a candidate for Iyad Allawi's Iraqi National Movement, Najm Abdullah Harbi was arrested for homicide. A judge ordered him released for lack of evidence, but then he was re-arrested for alleged ties to Al Qaeda. Harbi ended up winning 28,000 votes and a seat in parliament, but he is still in prison. Three other National Movement candidates went into hiding as a result, fearing that they too would be picked up. They didn't re-emerge until all of them won seats, which gave them political immunity. After the election the deputy governor Furat Mohammed Hussein Jassim was also picked up, and is still being held.
Diyala is a perfect example of Prime Minister Maliki's abuse of power. Again and again he intervened in the province's politics, using the security forces. An American adviser to the governorate's council from 2009 to early 2010 said that Maliki's actions were threatening Sunnis' belief in the political process. What they were learning was that Maliki would never allow them to have a real say in the local government, even if they played by the rules and got elected to office. The premier made all of them afraid that they could be arrested at any time, and even if they put up a legal defense after being detained they would be held indefinitely. It's events like these that made negotiations over a new government so difficult. Political parties have little faith in Maliki, and they want concrete promises from State of Law in writing, top posts, and hopefully legislation. Until then they only have Maliki's word that he is willing to share power. That's not good enough for some such as Allawi, which is dragging out the process even more.

Allawi has the finesse of a bull in a china shop. If he was smart, he'd bide his time and build a coalition of disaffected lawmakers. If Maliki steps on too many toes, or breaks too many promises, Allawi could always form his own majority coalition.
Acting like a child who didn't get the tricycle he expected Christmas morning won't get him anywhere.
You got everythig completely wrong.
Yes these things happened, but because these politicians had shia blod on their hands,
In Dyla thousands of shia got killed and forced to leave. many had links to the sunni parties.
What Maliki was trying to do was not allow murderers and supporters of the old regime regain political legitimacy.
You have to come to Iraq and here the stories, you would be shocked.
My Sunni friends had to move out of Yarmouk (Baghdad) because the Islamic Party moved in, even though they were Sunnis.
In Adel another Baghdad neighbourhood, all shia were forced out when Tawafuq based its headquarters there.
The difference is, when shia politicians move to an area the hosue prices go up usually because security follows and 24hrs electricity but when sunni politicians move in the prices go down because of security.
These are the facts.

Well of course no one trusts Maliki not to abuse his power. The man is bound and determined to make State of Law into something like the PRI in Mexico or or whatever they're calling the Putin/Mevedev organ in Russia these days.
That's why Sadr's gambit is so interesting: "Yes, I'll support you, but only if you give me the army and police" is a way of supporting Maliki politically but blocking his aspirations to grab even more power.
Joel Wing said...
I would not doubt that there are plenty of politicians from all of the communities and parties that have blood on their hands. In this case however, it's only in Diyala that Maliki is sending in forces from Baghdad to arrest them. It's not happening in Salahaddin, it's not happening in Ninewa, etc. A few of the specific cases also seem to be very weak with people dropping charges, but the prisoners still being held, etc. Many U.S. officials in the province have also said that it appears to be a calculated political campaign by Maliki.
Maury,
I agree. I think Allawi has really played his hand badly. He could've used the mass distrust in Maliki and only ended up getting the Supreme Council to join him, and there was questions whether Badr even went with them. He also got Fadhila for about a month, and then they left.
Yes, the PRI is a good example. Nibras Kazimi use to write that Dawa reminded him of the communist party in that they were highly centralized, secretive, and determined to place their followers throughout the government to take it over. I think they'd love to become the institutional party in Iraq.
In Australia we would say Allawi is a slack bastard. Where has he been between 2006 and 2010? Not much, if anything, was ever heard from him even though his party was supposed to be in the government. How much time back in London will he be spending now?
Allawi's just not interested in doing the hard yards and any govt led by him would have been as slack and corrupt as the last one.
Also, Joel, it's time to find some American journalists who have contacts and sources inside Dawa, rather than acting as mouthpieces for the former Sunni arab fronts and fellow travellers of the insurgency who were making war on the shia between 03 and 08 and regurgitating their complaints. Then we might get more accurate info about what is actually going on in the country. It's a great shame that Nibras has stopped posting on his blog.

Not only is he a stand-up coach, but Coach McKee really stepped up to the plate when one diehard fan needed some extra attention in getting from the field to the parking lot.
Coach took what looked like a mile walk and came back with a walker-rider for one tired vet to get to his car. We may have lost a ball game, but we won one that day.

When I read about how Asha over at Parent Hacks used snack sized plastic bags and Ball Brand Plastic Freezer Jars to put together smaller portion sized snacks for her kids, I knew I had to share it with you, my readers.
What I love about this idea, is not only the multitude of uses for the plastic jars (everything from petite smoothies and fruit parfaits to trail mix and dry cereal) is that it's a great way to, as Asha writes, teach portion control and independence. To read more about how Asha implemented this idea, be sure to visit Parent Hacks.
Above is what we did.
You spend a little extra time up, front putting the snacks together (kids can help too). However, it makes the snack time woes of "Mommmeeeeee, I'm huuuuunnnngryy..." easier to bear.
Is it me, or do the Ball Freezer Jars look mysteriously like Avent breastmilk storage containers?
Also, Ball Brand Plastic Freezer Jars are BPA free, diswasher safe, stackable and lock together for very tidy storage. Plus, they store in the fridge for 3 months and the freezer for a whole year!
Thanks for sharing! I gave you the Lemonade Stand Award over on my blog! I love looking at all the muffin tin pictures!
I had that exact thought about the avent containers.
elizabeth, it's is uncanny how similar they look!
another bonus...the lids all lock together for easy storage when not in use!
I love the idea of having the snacks all together so when they are hungry they can get them. This way you aren't constantly making snacks.
Leave it to Asha of parenthacks.com to come up with such a great idea!
What a fabulous idea! I'll have to look for those containers!
I love the idea of pre-doing up snacks like that.
