what Braunfels connects with Texas
Who was Prince Carl?
Born July 12, 1812 Carl was the youngest of eight children of the marriage of Prince Frederick William of Solms-Braunfels with Princess Friederike of Mecklenburg-Strelitz in Neustrelitz. By the early death of his father, he lived with his family in Braunfels. His mother, the younger sister of Queen Louise of Prussia, later married Duke Ernst August of Cumberland and so became Queen of Hannover. Thus Carl spent his childhood and youth more at that court.
The young prince very early was pushed into the military service and began his career aged 15 as an officer. The following years were filled with different regimental operations. He was K. u. K. Austro-Hungarian Field Marshal Lieutenant.

As in 1842 the "Verein zum Schutze deutscher Auswanderer nach Texas" (Association for the protection of german immigrants to Texas) was established by 21 nobles, Carl like his brother Alexander was founder member. He soon got the order to perceive as Commissioner General the interests of the so-called "Adelsverein" in America. In 1845, with approximately 300 German emigrates, he founded a small settlement in the north of San Antonio at the confluence of Comal and Guadeloupe river. It was an uninhabited area till then and following his German home he called the settlement "New Braunfels". A few years later it was the fourth largest city in Texas.
He himself however returned to Germany in the same year and married Sophie Princess of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg. The town founded by the Prinz is now one of the fastest growing cities in Texas. Today it has about 70 000 inhabitants. Still the German heritage plays an important role, and since more than 50 years the "German Wurstfest" attracts thousands of visitors to visit New Braunfels each year. The city still proudly calls itself "City of Prince" and worships Carl – also known as "Texas-Charly" – with huge murals and various settler monuments.
Carl has remained in Germany and spent his old age after completing the military service at his castle Rheingrafenstein near Koblenz. Together with his wife and daughter Sophia, who died at the age of 15, they have found their last resting-place nearby in Bad Kreuznach. Due to the outstanding merits of the prince the prominent monument designed by the sculptor Robert Cauer (the Elder) has recently been declared a cenotaph by the city of Bad Kreuznach.

The number of tourists from India to Kenya has grown in recent years, and Kenya knows very well the importance of wooing Bollywood if it wants to further increase this number. Famous for its wildlife tourism, Kenyan tourism board is busy spreading awareness about their country among Indians, and are also wooing filmmakers to shoot in Kenya.
The Kenya Tourism Board will focus more on the Indian market and has increased its budget for the Indian market in order to attract more tourists from India (by backing new segments like Bollywood-based tourism).
Most of the Bollywood films get shot in South Africa, which is our competitor in this segment. We have been in talks with several Hindi film producers, including like Yashraj Studios, and are even willing to give cash rebates and duty waivers (up to 30 per cent) for Bollywood producers who will shoot their films in Kenya.
Tourism is the largest foreign exchange earner for Kenya, and they want to get more from Bollywood (currently most Bollywood films are shot in South Africa).
Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) recently participated at the India International Film Tourism Conclave (IIFTC) with the objective of projecting Kenya as an ideal filming destination to Indian filmmakers (sponsored by Kenya Airways and the Kenya Film Commission). The Kenyan delegation highlighted the benefits of filming in Kenya, and showed that Kenya has ideal locations, equipment, technical support and the infrastructure required for successful filming.
India is an attractive market for Kenya for sourcing tourists and the Kenyan government is keen to get more Indian tourists to Kenya.
Kenya offers wonderful filming locations and the required supporting infrastructure. Over 80 international films including; Out of Africa (1985) Born Free, The Colour Purple (second unit), The Constant Gardner (2005), Nowhere in Africa, I Dreamed of Africa (second unit), and Walk with Lions, amongst others, have been filmed in Kenya.
Here's more on Bollywood movies shot in Kenya and what is it about Kenya that attracts filmmakers & tourists.
Bollywood movies shot in Kenya, include 'Shortcut Romeo', which was shot in Masai Mara and a few neighboring places.
Here's some interesting things about the Kenyan culture that Neil Nitin Mukesh (lead actor of Shortcut Romeo) learnt.
The dowry system there is the reverse of what we have in India – It's the groom who pays the bride and not the other way round (he didn't like this part).
Many think that 'Shortcut Romeo' is the first Bollywood film to be shot in Kenya, however that's not true!
Way back in 1992, the movie 'Vishwatma' (with a multi-star cast) was first shot in Kenya.
Kim Sharma, who at one time was linked with cricketer Yuvraj Singh is now married to Kenyan businessman Ali Punjani and living in Africa post her marriage. Buzz is that Kim owns a cricket team in Kenya which includes players such as Chris Cairns and Andrew Symonds.
Tourism is a major foreign exchange revenue earner for Kenya, the main tourist attractions are the photo safaris through the several national parks and game reserves.
While Kenya is well known for the Unesco world heritage site of Masai Mara, it is adding new wildlife camps like the recent Porini Cheetah Camp, to enhance the wildlife experience in the country.
Kenya is famous for its various types of safari — camel safari, balloon safari, cycle safari among others. You may also enjoy golf on one of the several scenic golf courses the country has on offer.
Other exciting activities include horse rides in search of elephants, spotting lions in the wild, or taking a massage on the shores of the Indian Ocean. Kenya also has some of the best dive sites/schools, and the Kenyan barrier reef ensures shark-free waters.
Watch: Samburu National Reserve, a filming location for Survivor and the Last Breakthrough. Another popular location is Crescent Island, where parts of the film Out Of Africa was shot.
There have been some media reports of mugging and thefts, which makes many think twice before finalising their trip to Kenya. However, better security measures are in place, the people are helpful and friendly. So long as you take the normal safety precautions, you should be fine.
Tourism is one of the greatest foreign exchange earners for African nation 'Kenya'. And among Asians tourists to this country, Indians lead the pack.
Kenya wants to target even more Indian tourists for which the country is now selling its prime destinations such as Mombasa and Lamu not just for recreation, but also as possible wedding, honeymoon & sports destinations. They also plan to invite Bollywood producers to shoot in this country.

Supplements are a great way to build on your workouts by feeding your muscles with the nutrients they need to grow and repair. After a hard workout, your muscles have been stressed beyond their normal operating limits. They need time to rest and repair the damaged fibres. This process makes the muscles stronger than before. To aid this process supplements boost the nutrients that your muscles require, helping to achieve better gains than training alone. There are a bewildering variation of supplements available online at variable price point so below we will outline some of the most popular ones.
Protein is a compound that is popular among people who train with weights as it is made up of amino acids, the building blocks of muscle and can help promote the growth of lean tissue mass. Whey protein in particular has now become very mainstream and available in most chemists and shops such as Boots and Holland and Barrett.
Whey is one of the 2 components of milk, the other being casein (which we will come to later) Although it comes from milk, whey itself has a very low lactose content although those who are lactose intolerant should take care and may want to consider alternatives such as vegan protein (see below).
Whey protein is digested very quickly after consuming and is an excellent post-workout supplement, when the body needs protein the most. As protein is the most filling macronutrient, whey protein can really help with weight loss and food intake as it is likely to leave you feeling fuller for longer and less likely to reach for the snacks.
How often and when you take whey protein depends on your exercise routine and goals. Protein powder can be added to shakes, porridge, pancakes and other recipes where you're looking to up the protein content – especially helpful if you're looking to fill yourself up more. A protein shake an hour or so before a workout can also give you a boost during and a shake after your workout can give your muscles a shot of protein to kick start the repair process.
As mentioned above, whey protein isn't for everyone. Lactose intolerance and sensitive digestive systems would make whey protein likely to cause more harm than good and of cause, vegans would not wish to use whey either. Thankfully, vegan protein is now very much available and is made up of plant proteins and can pack in as much protein as a lot of whey protein products.
Whatever form of protein powder you decide on make sure you check the ingredients as some powders include additional sugars that could impede on the progress you are trying to make.
Creatine contains zero calories and occurs naturally in the body. It can be found naturally in pork, salmon and beef but is another popular weight training supplement used to boost muscle growth safely.
Creatine helps the body's muscles absorb water, which enables them to work harder during high-intensity training. It is used to increase the energy you have for explosive lifting, allowing you to lift more weight, with more reps. This in turn allows your muscles to grow larger and more powerful.
If you're going to take creatine, use the powder as this is the most effective form. And remember that creatine on its own wont help you build muscle or lose weight. A healthy diet and good exercise regime must be in place as well.
Whether you need to take BCAAs is an often argued point by fitness professionals. They can help to speed up the recovery process and muscle repair following a workout, which in turn can reduce muscle soreness. However, if money is tight, we think you will find much more 'gains for money' from protein than BCAAs.
You will have heard people talking about Omega 3 Fatty Acids and how they are important anti-inflammatory and antioxidants. Well, fish oils are a really great source of Omega 3 Fatty Acids. Why are they important if you're training? When you train your muscles you make microscopic tears in the muscle tissue which, whilst being a good thing as this is what leads to increased muscle mass, it also leads to muscle soreness. The Omega 3 Fatty Acids will help to reduce the inflammation in the muscles, thereby reducing the soreness and making you ready to tackle another workout much quicker. They can also prevent heart disease, lower blood pressure, improve eye health and help to fight depression and anxiety so all in all they're a pretty cool little pill to take.

The Rule of Law Unjustly Manipulated: 4th Circuit Strikes Down NC Voter ID
Posted by Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) 0sc on July 29, 2016
In a decision that has many at a loss, today the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals held that North Carolina election integrity laws were enacted with a racially discriminatory intent. The Public Interest Legal Foundationreleased a statement with regard to the decision.
"The trial court conducted the trial, heard the evidence, and ruled that the law was valid. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals behaved like a trial court and decided that the law had a discriminatory intent," said J. Christian Adams, President and General Counsel of the Public Interest Legal Foundation. "Normally, appeals courts remand to trial courts to review the evidence with the guidance of the appeals court. The Fourth Circuit undertook the job of a trial court and the integrity of the upcoming election is worse off because of it."
Among the unusual rulings was the court holding that Section 5 objection letters by the Obama Justice Department about other election procedures constituted relevant evidence of racially discriminatory intent in the voter ID law. Objections are based on a failure to affirmatively disprove discriminatory intent, not because discriminatory intent is found.
"This case was brought to extract partisan advantage using the Voting Rights Act and sadly the plaintiffs were successful in turning that important civil rights law into a political weapon," said Adams.
The concerns raised by the decision are numerous, as the Fourth Circuit acted like a trial court determining evidence and found that the voter ID law and other important election integrity reforms were not enacted for a legitimate purpose.
The three judges assigned to the case — all Democratic appointees — were unanimous that the Republican-controlled North Carolina legislature violated the U.S. Constitution and the Voting Rights Act three years ago by enacting the measure requiring voters to show certain types of photo ID at the polls.
"The record makes clear that the historical origin of the challenged provisions in this statute is not the innocuous back-and-forth of routine partisan struggle that the State suggests and that the district court accepted," Judge Diana Motz wrote on behalf of Judges James Wynn and Henry Floyd. "Rather, the General Assembly enacted them in the immediate aftermath of unprecedented African American voter participation in a state with a troubled racial history and racially polarized voting. The district court clearly erred in ignoring or dismissing this historical background evidence, all of which supports a finding of discriminatory intent."
There is little that remains to be stated that cannot be implied from the decision itself. Unorthodox left-leaning decisions not based on the rule of law are just a prelude to what another four years of Democratic "leadership" will undoubtedly impose on this country and the judiciary itself.

Q: Kotlin: Cannot convert Map to JSON How to convert Map to JSONObject? It accepts Map but it seems you need to perform casting. Is there any other way to do this without using library?

A: The answer provided by Bitwise DEVS may work, but the explanation is incorrect.
It is not necessary to convert the map into an immutable map - it can even be seen in the screenshot of the question: expected (Mutable)Map means that it can be mutable or immutable.
The real problem here is that the called constructor of JSONObject is defined for Map<Any?, Any?> but the given parameter is of type Map<String!, String!>. We know that String is a subtype of Any?, so why is that a problem?
It is a problem because Map is invariant in the key parameter which means that a Map<A, V> is not subtype of Map<B, V> even if A is subtype of B (and also not if it is the other way around).
The call of toMap does not work because it makes the map immutable, but because it is defined as
fun <K, V> Map<out K, V>.toMap(): Map<K, V>

In the receiver type of toMap the key parameter is annotated with the out modifier, meaning that K is covariant here. This means that a Map<Any, V> in this position can safely be considered as a supertype of Map<String, V>. Additionally, Map is always covariant in its value type, meaning that Map<Any, Any> in this position can safely be considered as a supertype of Map<String, String>.
You could as well just cast remoteMessage.data as Map<Any?, Any?> or use toMutableMap, it would be all the same. It has definitely nothing to do with mutability of the map.
Kotlin documentation on variance: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/generics.html#declaration-site-variance
Kotlin documentation of Map: https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.collections/-map/
Definition of toMap: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/ea836fd46a1fef07d77c96f9d7e8d7807f793453/libraries/stdlib/src/kotlin/collections/Maps.kt#L600

A: I just realized the answer, if you are using Map like Map<String, String> in Kotlin there is a mutable and immutable version of it. In the question above all you need to do is to convert it to immutable Map using toMap().
val msgData = parser.fromJsonString<CommonNotification>(
            JSONObject(remoteMessage.data.toMap()).toString(),
            CommonNotification::class.java
        ) ?: return

Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center's Final Fundraising Push Is Underway
By Dan Rattiner Posted on December 9, 2017
April Gornik and the pre-fire Sag Harbor Cinema, Photos: Oliver Peterson, Barbara Lassen
A group called the Sag Harbor Partnership, with Sag Harbor-based artist April Gornik leading the way, has taken on the task of raising $8 million so that the burned-down Sag Harbor Cinema can be reborn. The fundraising began last January. The goal is to raise this money by December 31—it's right around the corner, and by all accounts the total as of this writing is just $6.5 million. What to do? If the money is not raised in full, the theater property will be sold to the highest bidder who could build something else.
It has been amazing to me that Gornik (and others) has taken on this task to begin with. What seems more amazing is that she is buoyantly confident that this final $1.5 million can be raised in just this short amount of time left.
A few weeks ago, there was a miscommunication with a legal action regarding a painting Alec Baldwin bought. As a result, for a while there, it seemed that half a million might flow to this theater-fundraising effort, which would have been great. But Gornik said, after learning it would not come, that they'd reach the goal anyway.
Now, with just 10 days to go, we learn how she is going to do it.
First she teases us with the announcement that major new funding has been provided by an anonymous comedian who is known for performing with what appears to be an arrow through his head. She also mentions smaller donations and a $50,000 matching fund pledge. Then comes the battle plan.
There are going to be a series of 10 films—the winter programming schedule—shown in venues here on the East End, which will be free to the general public but will surely act as previews for people to make the final push happen. Each film will be sponsored and hosted by a famous celebrity in the area. That famous celebrity will be there to talk about the film afterwards (and ask for donations, I imagine, from those inclined to give money at the film showing).
Here are the events.
Julie Andrews, following a screening of The Americanization of Emily.
Oscar-nominated screenwriter Alec Sokolow, following a screening of Toy Story.
Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein, following a screening of All the President's Men.
Chris Hegedus and D.A. Pennebaker, following a screening of Town Bloody Hall, their documentary on the legendary match between Germane Greer and Norman Mailer.
Director William Friedkin will introduce his very first film, The People vs. Paul Crump, a rarely screened documentary that helped save a man from the electric chair.
Artist and musician Laurie Anderson, Oscar-winning director Rob Marshall and producer John De Luca, following a screening of Chicago.
Music composer Carter Burwell will introduce the Coen Brothers' western True Grit.
Most of these films and the events will take place in the auditorium of Sag Harbor's Pierson High School. But others will take place in other towns in the community. They will go on through the winter.
It was on December 16, almost exactly one year ago, that the great fire destroyed the theater and several stores on each side of it in the middle of downtown. Some of the stores have been rebuilt, but the theater itself, and the neon sign reading SAG HARBOR that fronts it (and which had been rescued from the fire) are going to be completely restored and redone. The plans have been drawn. There is to be a twin movie theater, a rehearsal space, an art gallery, a meeting hall and several offices on the property. It will take its place in town as a main attraction for cultural offerings along with the Bay Street Theater.
We await the day when the project is funded and approved and the dirt begins to fly.
And of course, you can always donate independently at sagharborcinema.org.


Ants live in large colonies, so where there's one, there are likely dozens more nearby. This means killing one won't do you any good; you have to kill the entire colony to keep them from repeatedly returning. You can't typically do this with ant-control products you buy from the store; a professional must locate and deal with the source of the problem.
Spring is when ants can really become a nuisance—when they're foraging and looking for a dry place to live during the rainy season. Springer controls ants by understanding their biology and behavior, which is the same every year. We know when and how they're most likely to invade your home.
We start by inspecting your home's foundation and looking for possible entry points. We then utilize our highly effective TermaPest system to stop ants from entering your home and prevent them from returning by baiting and monitoring them throughout the year.
Preventive pest control is similar to regular maintenance on your car or your yearly doctor's appointment; you do it to avoid problems rather than correct them. In the same sense, while it may not appear that you need pest control services at the moment, if you wait until the problem is big enough to notice, you could be in serious trouble.
Learn how you can protect yourself, your family, and your home with preventative pest control.
We absolutely love Springer for our pest control. Chris L. has been taking care of our bug control for about 4 years. He is ALWAYS pleasant, helpful and thorough. Even when an issue arises, like when I brought a plant in the house that must have had ants, he came right out and took care of the ants even though it was off our normal schedule and my fault that they found their way inside. If a wasp nest or something shows up, he comes back out. We would not even consider using another company.


The archetype of the modern form on the two-stroke diesel is the (high-speed) Detroit Diesel Series 71 engine, designed by Charles F. "Boss" Kettering and his co-workers at General Motors Corporation in 1938, in which the blower pressurizes a chamber when you look at the engine block that is often referred to as the "air box". The (very much larger medium-speed) Electro-Motive Diesel engine is utilized as the prime mover in EMD diesel-electric locomotive, marine and stationary applications, and was developed by the same group, and is also built to the same principle. However, a substantial improvement included in most later EMD engines is the mechanically-assisted turbo-compressor, which offers charge air utilizing mechanical assistance during starting (thereby obviating the necessity for Roots-blown scavenging), and provides charge air using an exhaust gas-driven turbine during normal operations thereby offering genuine turbocharging and additionally growing the engine's power output by at the very least fifty percent.
In a two-stroke diesel engine, as the cylinder's piston approaches the base lifeless center fatigue harbors or regulators are exposed alleviating most of the excess pressure after which a passage between the air box and the cylinder is opened, permitting environment flow into the cylinder. The air movement blows the remaining combustion fumes out of the this is the scavenging process. Whilst the piston moves through bottom heart and starts up, the passage is closed and compression commences, culminating in fuel injection and ignition. Refer to two-stroke diesel engines for more in depth coverage of aspiration types and supercharging of two-stroke diesel engines.
Whenever the Prado was introduced inside the UK inside 1996, it was called the Land Cruiser Colorado plus changed the 4Runner, that had been discontinued from sale. It was called this with distinguish it within the bigger Land Cruiser renamed because the Land Cruiser Amazon hat was absolutely about sale.

In the Republic of Ireland many Land Cruisers were available because commercials with all the side windows plus seats removed for taxes factors.
The 3RZ-FE is a 2.7 L adaptation. Bore is 95 mm plus stroke is 95 mm. Compression ratio is 9.5 with 1. Output is 150 hp at 4800 RPM with 177 lb�·ft of torque at 4000 RPM. This engine qualities twin, chain-driven balance shafts. It has 4 valves per cylinder plus DOHC. Valve change is by shim over bucket.
Diesel models have had the 1KZ-TE turbo diesel engine with maximum output rating 96 kW and also the 5L-E all-natural aspirated diesel engine rating 70 kW. In November 2006, Toyota introduced the 1KD-FTV Turbo Diesel of energy plus 410 N�·m of torque. The upgrade with the D-4D engine was equally paired with transmission updates with the diesel range, with all the 5-speed automatic plus 6-speed guide transmissions added inside line with all the petrol driven range. From August 2007 the Prado received many equipment plus protection upgrades. The vehicle has earned 3 awards for the greatest performance about a SUV sort car inside Australia plus US.
Lexus introduced the GX 470 at the North American International Car Show inside January 2002 because a 2003 model, with sales commencing inside November 2002. The GX development system started inside 1999 after the J120 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado inside 1997, with shape function by Shoichi Fujiyoshi concluding inside the initial half of 2000. Heavily based found on the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, the GX plus Prado shared a widespread platform, mechanicals, plus bodyworks, thus consequently had usual simple dimensions. Likewise, the interiors were much the same, with all the Lexus getting further premium touches compared to the Toyota-badged adaptation. Like the Prado, the GX shape included welded steel body-on-frame construction, an electronically controlled five-speed automatic transmission, plus lasting four-wheel drive with a center locking Torsen differential. The suspension shared its design with all the Toyota 4Runner loaded with the back air suspension, when adding Adaptive Variable Suspension plus Downhill Assist Control. AVS can change damper firmness constantly when DAC modulated descents down slopes. Power came from a four.7-liter, 32-valve, four-cam 2UZ-FE V8 engine initially rated at 175 kW at 4,800 rpm plus 434 N�·m of torque at 3,400 rpm. Towing capability was rated at 2,300 kg for the 2003 model year. Midway from the 2004 model year, the GX received an upgraded towing ability of 2,900 kg with all the addition of the much stronger frame-bolted tubular hitch. Ground clearance calculated 211 millimetres, with an approach angle of 30-degrees along with a departure angle of 29-degrees raised. The GX 470 carried a drag coefficient of Cd=0.38.


https://askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edits/223751 -- The question isn't more clear than it was before.
https://askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edits/222360 -- the edit did fix a typo in the title, but it is an awfully minor edit.
https://askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edits/221480 -- adding paragraph breaks makes it more readable, but the bulk of the edit is case changes (wifi to WiFi) and Americanization ("neighbour" to "neighbor").
Some I approved, some I rejected. If a minor edit does make formatting/spelling errors less distracting, makes the site more readable, should I just accept it?
You're right to be wary. There are some users (usually bots) who are just grinding on the super-minor edits for rep, but of these examples I think I would have let most of those through.
If it leaves significant issues in the post, I'd look to re-edit and uncheck the "helpful edit" box. This is equivalent to rejecting the edit and replacing it with your own. That sends the right signals about the quality of editing.
Otherwise if it helps make the post more readable, and they've not left too many glaring issues, I'd consider letting it through. Even if that's just removing an "an" from a title to make it syntactically correct... But I'm a stickler for detail.
An edit is too minor if it deals with a small problem in a post, but does not deal with other obvious problems in a post.
Correcting a little mistake in a post and keeping bad formatting, poor style, colloquialisms and more) is too minor in my opinion.
An edit correcting all i's to I's can be valuable if all the problems of the post are dealt with (after all, this does make the post better). If other obvious problems are not dealt with, the edit is too minor (after all, more could have been done).
So it really depends on the context. One edit is OK in one context, but too minor in another.
Any edit that improves the post is helpful. This not only improve the overall quality of the site but also helps the user( with <2k rep) to gain reputation(2).
However, editing the question or even the answer brings the post back to the main page, if it wasn't. This can bombard the main page with old/relatively-insignificant posts and thus prevent the more relevant questions from grabbing the intended audience's attention.
This makes it important to prioritize whether to improve/approve the edit or reject it.
IMO, if the question is relatively new(a few hours or so), the edit, if constructive, may be harmlessly approved/improved.
However, for older posts, only if the post significantly improves the quality of the post, should it be approved/improved.
Thus, an edit is minor if it does not significantly improve the post; approving/improving it will compromise with the attention newer posts get.
is it OK to just change a tag on a question?
Am I handling a suggested edit correctly?

È nota per essere stata sotto contratto con la World Wrestling Federation con il nome di Velvet McIntyre dove ha vinto il WWF Women's Championship per una volta e il WWF Women's Tag Team Championship per due volte.

Carriera

Circuito indipendente
Una volta finite le scuole superiori, Velvet McIntyre inizia ad allenarsi in Oregon nel 1980 sotto la guida di Sandy Barr, insieme alla sua futura partner e rivale Princess Victoria. McIntyre fa il suo debutto nel wrestling nell'Idaho nel 1980, ma inizialmente per lei rappresentava solo un hobby. Nel 1981, il wrestling diventa il suo lavoro ed entra nella Vancouver All Star Wrestling, dove iniziò un feud con Princess Victoria. Nel 1982, ha un breve stint nella World Wrestling Federation ma, in coppia con Princess Victoria che nel frattempo era diventata sua alleata, perde un tag team match contro The Faboulous Moolah e Wendi Richter. Nel novembre e dicembre 1982, McIntyre lavora nella Stampede Wrestling, dove in squadra con Judy Martin, sconfigge la coppia formata dalla Richter e da Joyce Grable.

World Wrestling Federation
Nel 1984, a Velvet McIntyre e a Princess Victoria viene riconosciuto il WWF Women's Tag Team Championship e le due diventano così le prime campionesse della federazione. Difendono il titolo contro Wendi Richter e Peggy Lee. Desiree Petersen sostituisce poi Princess Victoria poiché Victoria si infortuna. McIntyre e Petersen perdono i titoli nell'agosto del 1985 contro Judy Martin e Leilan Kai (le Glamour Girls) durante un tour in Egitto. McIntyre inizia poi una carriera da singolo e vince il WWF Women's Championship sconfiggendo The Faboulous Moolah il 3 luglio 1986 in Australia ma perde il titolo sei giorni dopo. Moolah sconfigge McIntyre anche a Wrestlemania II e riesce a mantenere il titolo.

I have known and worked with Richard for some time. The work is consistently of high quality and there is no denying his talent. If you have a serious musical or visual project, Richard's your man.
Thanks very much for all the time, effort and creative consideration in your work. We have started editing the dance sequence to the music and it really jumps. I am very happy with it.
and the music just increased that excitement by 1000%.
Can't wait to start playing.
The voiceover was delivered quickly. The audio was clean, which allowed for seamless rearranging. I'd recommend Delevine Media to anyone looking for great professional voiceovers.
"There are pieces of music in which you can hear the rolling of pebbles beneath the wheels of carriages. The rustling of leaves thrown about by the wind. A sunny summer wind that whispers a promise. People dancing.There are pieces of music that hint of adventurous mischief."


I truly adore Ethiopian food so I needed no persuasion when Matthew suggested having some at the weekend. I was doubly excited because I had a new ingredient to try – shiro.
Anyway, I also buy a few injera there and stash them in the freezer. I have made them, and the biggest success I had is with a cheater version which didn't make into Vegan Eats World (the one in there isn't the same) but the mice keep eating my precious teff flour, so I'm grateful for another speedier option.
The four dishes you see on the injera are: Kik Alicha (yellow split pea stew) from Papa Tofu, Ye'abesha Gomen (greens) from Papa Tofu, Shiro (as above) from Papa Tofu, and the Seitan Tibs from Vegan Eats World, but made using the Niter Kibbeh (spiced vegan butter) from Papa Tofu because it's one of my favourite things in the world. I've made a reasonable amount of Ethiopian food but this was my favourite combination so far. I used a very spicy berbere (spice blend) in the seitan, and that worked perfectly with the creamy split peas and intensely buttery silky shiro.
After a long day sale shopping just after Christmas we ended up at Koreana in Manchester and had a fantastic meal. I enjoyed it so much I was inspired to cook a Korean meal for our New Year's Eve dinner. I have cooked Korean food before but I've branched out since then, made my own kimchi, and got Vegan Eats World, which contains a number of exciting looking Korean recipes.
The picture above is of the kimchi pancakes, which were my favourite part of the meal. We had them in Koreana and I didn't think I'd be able to reproduce them as I'm traditionally pretty rubbish with pancake type cooking, but Terry's recipe didn't let me down and they worked perfectly.
The rest of my pictures are pretty appalling but I made the Bulgogi from Vegan Eats World – a stunning BBQ mix of seitan, mushrooms and tofu. The Dolsot Bibimbap, also from Vegan Eats World, but without the tofu, as there was tofu in the bulgogi. We also had this at the restaurant and loved it, but I think they must have flavoured the rice there and I'd do the same again next time. I really enjoyed the spinach, beansprout and spring onion toppings. I added the potato chorim from Asian Vegan Kitchen, which I made last time, and the courgette namul from the same book, just because I had a courgette that needed using.
Once again I really loved the Korean flavours from this meal. They're totally different to other Asian cuisines with an underlying sweetness livened by an abundance of sesame and gochaguru (Korean chilli powder). All the dishes worked well together and Matthew opened a bottle of wine that went perfectly with them. Incidentally, we used to have to ask Tanners to send us their vegan lists, so we're delighted they've started labeling the wines on their website.
I'll definitely be cooking Korean food again – these recipes, and I'm looking for any other recommendations too!

Lagos, Kano new terminals to be ready soon- Aviation Minister
Lawan Hamidu, Abuja
The Nigerian Ministry of Aviation has announced that the new terminal building for the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos and the Aminu Kano International Airport in Kano will be ready before the end of the year.
The Minister, Senator Hadi Sirika stated this while defending the ministry's 2020 budget before the House of Representatives committee on Aviation.
Senator Sirika said he will be relocating his office to the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu temporary to directly supervise the rehabilitation of the airport which is expected to be completed before the end of April 2020.
He said with the approval of N10 billion for the Enugu Airport, the contractors are expected to mobilize to site as soon as possible, adding that the President has already directed all agencies associated with the smooth work on the airport to work together to ensure it was delivered on time.
"The rehabilitation work on the Enugu airport will be done in such a way that the airport will be the best in the country. All houses located close to the airport may have to give way for increased safety.
The Enugu State Governor has given us assurance that he will swing into action to ensure that conducive atmosphere is provided for the rehabilitation of the airport," the Minister disclosed.
Speaking on the hygiene in the nation's airports, the Minister explained that out of the 22 Federal Airports in the country, 21 of them were clean and hygienic, adding that "the only place of concern was the Lagos international airport.
When the Lagos airport was established, it was built to accommodate 200,000 passengers per annum and today, the airport accommodate a traffic of about 8 million annually.
The large volume of traffic makes it impossible for the airport to be clean, but efforts were being made to complete the new terminal building in Lagos to ease the traffic on the old building."

In mid-July Conexus was approached by a California-based non-profit, Vision to Learn (VTL), to discuss a possible collaborative effort. VTL has been delivering mobile vision clinics to high need school divisions across the country for the last five years and a large grant through the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative had recently provided them the opportunity to double their national footprint over the course of the next year. Richmond was identified as a community in need of mobile clinic services.
After nearly a month of discussions between the two organizations, potential funders, and Richmond Public Schools the organizations developed a mutually beneficial model of service delivery. Conexus will deliver its technology based comprehensive children's vision program, VisioCheck, to more than 15,000 RPS students this school year year, and as students are identified as needing follow-up services, the VTL mobile clinic will move through the schools to deliver on-site eye exams and glasses.
This is an exciting opportunity for both Conexus and Vision to Learn and a wonderful ongoing resource for students in Richmond Public Schools. More to come!

I have a certain fondness for New Hampshire. My name is emblazoned on many sites here: schools, a college, roads, highways, places of business, and many more. Many people have asked me through the years whether I am related to the original Daniel Webster. My grandmother assured me that I was a distant relative.
After spending many years in the minority in the state legislature, Republicans won the majority of the House in 1996, and I was elected the Speaker of the House  the first Republican to occupy the chair in 122 years.
Two years later, Floridians roundly elected Jeb Bush as their governor. I served with Jeb, and he was a great leader of our state.
As governor, Jeb had ambitious goals for our state. Our state had been dominated by one party control for so long that rank waste was pervasive in our system. Much like Washington, Tallahassee worked to protect bureaucracy and power while ruling over the great people of our state instead of serving them. Jeb immediately set to work fixing the problems.
Governor Bush worked to reduce Floridians' taxes by nearly $20 billion. He repealed a particularly bad policy that allowed the state to tax seniors and savers on their lifesavings.
While Jeb worked to cut taxes, he also reduced the size of our government. He required each state agency to come up with a simple, concise mission statement. Any program that the agency administered that did not fit directly with that statement was removed. He also vetoed billions of dollars in waste and balanced the budget every year.
Governor Bush realized that our state education system was not serving our students and families. He implemented reforms that rewarded teachers and schools that ensured their students were receiving a high quality education. Jeb developed our public university system into a true system of universities and colleges that conducted worldclass research and worked strategically with each other to maximize the opportunities of our college students.
While there are many aspects to Governor Bush's service in Florida that can speak to the type of leader that he is, the best example of his ability to lead occurred in 2004. While hurricanes are a rare occurrence in New Hampshire, Floridians are well acquainted with them. However, that year, in a period of just over a month, we were ravaged by four major hurricanes. Jeb was on the ground in emergency operations centers directing state efforts and coordinating with the federal government. He deployed the National Guard and led them as they provided many social services in our communities. His leadership held together when our state was rocked by this series of natural disasters.
Having served with Governor Bush, I am confident in his abilities to lead our nation. His service as governor is a testament to his character and his leadership qualities.
Our party is a great party with a great set of potential nominees. I am supporting Jeb Bush because of what I have witnessed as he led our state.
America faces serious challenges. We need a president with the leadership skills who is ready on day one. That's why I'm proud to support Jeb Bush. I know he'll be the type of leader that will keep America safer, stronger and freer.

Q: AppBarLayout with weird shadow at borders I need my AppBarLayout to have a transparent background.
When I change the background of the AppBarLayout to have @null or @android:color/transparent I got a weird shadow at the border of the Toolbar.
If I set the background as a color the toolbar looks normal.
This is my layout xml:
 <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
      android:id="@+id/appBarLayout"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:background="#4999E2"
      app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
      app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
      app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">

      <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="?android:attr/actionBarSize">

        <ImageView
          android:id="@+id/imageViewLogo"
          android:layout_width="wrap_content"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:layout_gravity="end|center_vertical"
          android:layout_marginEnd="16dp"
          android:importantForAccessibility="no"
          app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_calendar_check"/>

      </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

AppBarLayout with a color as background:
(android:background="#4999E2")

AppBarLayout with a null background
(android:background="@null")

What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!!

A: This happens, because AppBarLayout has a default stateListAnimator which applies elevation in a collapsed state.
If you want to get rid of this effect, do this
 <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
    ...
    android:stateListAnimator="@null"

…which the most important was Cayor. During the 15th century Wolof was a powerful empire, on the border of which lay the tributary state of Sine-Solum, ruled by the Serer, a kindred people to the Wolof.
…by the neighbouring state of Cayor, which controlled it until 1686. Late in the 17th century, Wolof invaded Cayor, causing many of its inhabitants to flee to Baol. The rulers of Baol were able to withstand European attempts at conquest until the French occupied their territory in the mid-19th century.

Our family spent Thanksgiving week in Rwanda. I gathered images in my journal, and now I spill them here. Because there are so many stories worth telling in this world, and I feel like we had our tank filled to overflowing. Twenty-four hours of travel, across the wide ocean, we stepped off the plane Saturday night, bleary and excited, eager to see Rebeka for the first time. She would spend the night with us until Thursday, five nights of sleepovers, sharing a bed with Alayna at the guest house, sharing meals with our team of thirty Texans. This trip wasn't just about Rebeka, but she's where it all started, at the airport, hugging her familiar neck.
Seeing Rebeka in the Kigali airport.
It was our third time to Rwanda. We would visit all of our sponsored kids over the week, seeing some for the third time, tracing their growth through six years of pictures, delighting in small changes and slowly growing, long-distance friendships. That first night we fell into bed, and woke to Rwanda. Misty morning, bird tapping on the window, soldiers running past outside, chanting. We stumbled into the day, wide-eyed. We ate breakfast as we gazed at the capital city of Kigali, spreading down the hillside in front of us, cupped by some of the "thousand hills" Rwanda is so famous for.
View from the back porch of the guest house.
Breakfast was warm bread and sliced bananas. We drank water from a bottle, careful not to ever drink from the tap. Then the team loaded up and took a bus an hour south down bumpy red roads to Bugesera for Sunday morning church service. As the world slipped past I saw and remembered. People walking, everywhere, hundreds of them. Crazy motorcycles, perilous traffic, and then into the country. Dusty, smiling children and lush, green hillsides.
Mud homes with metal doors, or curtains for doors, or sometimes no door at all. Cassava drying on a blanket outside, chicken pecking at it. Small children carrying big yellow cans, fetching water. Children chasing our bus, calling "muzungu" (white person!) and waving hard.
Women washed clothes in plastic tubs and hung laundry on bushes.
Cows with long, dangerous horns, walked gentle down the road. A baby crawled two feet from our passing wheels, women walked with huge bundles on their heads, men pushed bikes up hills, loaded high with bananas or water cans. Clothes tied on sticks were scattered in the fields to scare birds from the maize.
Rebeka's sister Esperanza was at the church service in Bugesera, though we didn't know it until after. She came, shy and curious, once it was all over (the two hours of dancing and singing and murmured prayers in a foreign tongue all around us, hands held high, two sermons, delivered passionate, translated for us). Esperanza hugged us, smiling, and sat quietly, sharing our lunch, trying popcorn for the first time. Rebeka translated for her big sister, proud and comfortable.
Then we were in a van, bouncing down a red dirt road. We stopped to pick up two women dressed in bright church clothes and gave them a lift, three or four miles down the road. From the backseat, Rebeka said, "My dad!" pointing at a thin man walking down the road, wearing a blue shirt. We stopped and picked him up, too, and he squeezed into the front seat. He was all big smiles and shaking hands and then we were off again. Rebeka's dad chatted with the driver, Clay told me later he had already been to the lake near their house to catch fish, walked six miles to the road to catch a ride to the capital, took an hour there and back to sell his fish, and was walking home again. It wasn't one o'clock yet. Had he fished in the dark?
When we arrived I recognized her house from the pictures, beautiful lake shining on the right, house up a small hill on the left, and neighbor children already gathering to witness the spectacle of muzungus arriving in their van. The first thing I saw when we stepped into the house was the pink dog.
When Rebeka first arrived in America a sweet little neighbor girl started bringing presents. Little bags with treats. The small, stuffed pink dog with giant eyes arrived on day two, and Rebeka kept it faithfully clipped to her shorts for weeks.
Now here it was, hanging from her ceiling, along with paper snowflakes and a few other assorted toys.
As we sat on either side of a small coffee table, and the translator helped us talk to each other, my eyes kept straying to the ceiling. That dog, those snowflakes, they told so much about this family. I have never been in a sponsored kid's home that was decorated this way. There may be a calendar picture tacked to the wall, maybe a faded picture of the sponsor family, sent across the ocean, but this was special. This spoke of a mother who gave freedom to her children to express themselves. It was a reach beyond fetching water, washing clothes, cooking meals, and all the basic survival tasks that occupy their days. It spoke of creativity and imagination and the desire to make things pretty no matter what the raw materials. I hope if I had a small house made of mud in Rwanda, there would be snowflakes hanging from the ceiling.
We would spend seven full days in Rwanda, seven days worth of stories we encountered on those red, dirt streets, but I wanted to start with this one. This hastily sketched picture of what it looks like, what it feels like, to be in this country. And what it was like that first day, meeting Rebeka's family and seeing that little pink dog.
Rebeka's family, three younger sisters, a brother, and mom and dad. Her older sisters aren't pictured here.
Thanks for continuing to share your stories. You write so vividly, between your writing and pictures, I can "see" so much.
I love that rebeka's mom encourages that precious imagination! It's wonderful to hear your perspective on all you experience. It gives those of us who have never experienced anything like this a taste of what it is like. I love hearing about the joy they have in such an impoverished society….much to learn from that.
Thanks so much for forwarding.
Thank you Meredith. Unwanted to hear more. Please keep writing about the trip and Rwanda and its dear people!
Sorry… I want to hear more!
Oh, thank you for sharing news of your trip and Rebekah. I look forward to more words and pictures.
I love the love in this post.

I am super excited to be working with a local lifestyle show, Studio 5, and bringing the Shoebox Challenge to photo keepers everywhere.
Project Shoebox is the incentive you need to empty that shoebox of old photos. Heirloom photos to forgotten prints, everyone has photos to reclaim and rediscover. The Project Shoebox community, curated and hosted by Studio 5 contributor Wendy Smedley (that is me), is a safe place to learn how to archive and share photos, collect old stories, and organize treasured images in a safe place.
The Project Shoebox challenge is simple. Just scan one old photo. Then share it. Collect stories. And feel the satisfaction. You will have created a memory with a memory.
Wednesday, 1/31/, I will launch the challenge and share a handful of photos + scanning tips. You can participate by streaming the show live here, runs from 11:00 am-12:00 pm MST, or you can watch an archived version later in the day. Either way think about joining in and scanning your own photos.
I have been scanning photos from the 90's and wow, my photography has improved drastically!

Who may obtain an Anti-Harassment Protection Order?
Persons who are seriously alarmed, annoyed or harassed by a course of conduct which serves no legitimate or lawful purpose. Parents may petition on behalf of a child against an adult. Under Washington law, "course of conduct" means a pattern of conduct composed of a series of acts over a period of time.
Who may obtain a Stalking Protection Order?
Persons who are subject to repeated or continuing contacts, attempts to contact, monitoring, tracking, keeping under observation, or following of another that: would cause a reasonable person to feel intimidated, frightened, or threatened and that actually causes such a feeling; serves no lawful purpose; and the stalker knows or reasonably should know threatens, frightens, or intimidates the person, even if the stalker did not intend to intimidate, frighten, or threaten the person.
Prohibit harassment, stalking or contact of any kind. Also, the order can restrain a party from coming within a specified distance from a specific location such as the petitioner's residence, workplace or school.
A petitioner submits paperwork which the court then reviews. If the petition is accepted, a hearing will be set at which the court may grant or deny an emergency temporary order which is effective for up to 14 days. Another hearing is then set within 14 days. At that hearing the court may deny the petition, or grant a protection order which is in most circumstances effective for up to one year. The other party, who is the respondent, must be served with the petition, notice of the hearing, and the temporary order-if one has been entered.
When should I file my petition in Superior Court instead?
1.	You are requesting relief that affects the residential schedule of-and contact with-children you have with the respondent, or you have had a family law case filed in Superior Court; 2.	The Superior Court has heard, or is hearing, any other case in which you and the respondent are parties. 3.	You are asking the court to exclude or remove the respondent from a home you share; 4.	The person needing protection has been found to be a vulnerable adult in Superior Court; or 5.	The respondent is under 18 years of age; 6.	The petition alleges acts of domestic violence or sexual assault. If any of the above circumstances apply to a petition which has been filed in District Court, the petition will likely be transferred to Superior Court, and you will be told when the next hearing will take place there. You can access information about acquiring protections order through Superior Court here.
What information will I need in order to file a petition?
You will need the full name, address and date of birth of the respondent. In your petition, state specific acts that support your need for a protection order: 1.	Dates and times the acts were committed; 2.	Why you believe the acts or statements were directed at you; and 3.	Whether there has been a course of conduct of harassment.
A protection order petition is your action brought against the other party, the respondent. You are responsible for providing all relevant information to the court in support of your petition, and proving to the court that the respondent is stalking, or unlawfully harassing you, by a preponderance of the evidence. The court cannot investigate the incidents for you, as the judge is a neutral decision-maker. If available, include any documents you believe are relevant, photographs, sworn witness statements, voice mails, text messages or police reports. If you are requesting an emergency temporary order from the judge at the first, or ex parte hearing, you must state what irreparable harm will occur if the temporary order is not granted.
How will the Respondent know of the hearing?
At the first ex parte hearing, the court will inform you whether law enforcement will serve the paperwork on the respondent, or whether you will be responsible for private service. A process server cannot be you or anyone related to you; they must also be an adult over the age of 18.
The Anti-Harassment Protection Order packet and forms are available here. You may also pick up a packet in person from the court at either the Yakima or Grandview offices. Please bring photo identification with you. Ex parte hearings are at 3:00 PM in Yakima, Monday through Thursday. In Grandview, the hearings are at 3:00 PM Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Completed petitions must be received by 11:00 AM in order to be heard that same day.
Yes, there is a filing fee of $83.00. If you cannot afford the fee, and are asking the court to waive it, please fill out the waiver application and declaration.

The specific environmental antecedents of anxiety and depression among Australian university students
Development of the effects of university study on lifestyle questionnaire
Vicki Bitsika, Christopher Sharpley, Leslie Hartley
A 60-item scale of stressors that had been developed from interviews with 32 individual students was evaluated by administration to 402 students at an Australian university. As well as data that showed frequency of stressor occurrence to be a more powerful predictor of anxiety and depression than degree of discomfort that the stressor induced, psychometric data from this participant sample enabled refinement of the original scale by deleting several items, thus producing a 42-item scale for further investigation. Implications for use of the scale to identify the "causal" stressors which students experience and which lead to anxiety and depression, are discussed.

In October this year, 743 businesses and institutions (excluding one-man businesses) were declared bankrupt, i.e. 147 more than in September when the number of bankruptcies reached the lowest level so far in 2013. Most businesses and institutions declared bankrupt in October were active in the sectors trade (173), construction (97) and specialist business services (86). The increase in the number of bankruptcies is due to the extra day courts were in session in October.
As the number of businesses declared bankrupt in a particular month is closely related to the number of days courts are in session, it may vary considerably from one month to the next. Therefore, the three-month moving average is a more reliable indicator. In October, the three-month moving average was 649. For the third time in a row, the average was below the level of the preceding month.
The bankruptcy rate over the first ten months of 2013 was high; 7,097 businesses and institutions were declared bankrupt, a 14 percent growth relative to the same period last year.


During the season of Advent, the Church prepares to worship the Christ Child in the manger with Mary, Joseph and the shepherds. It's fitting then that the Church traditionally turns an eye toward her worship practices during this holy season. And I'd propose, as a start to our considerations, that worship begins with receptivity.
On our own, human beings don't have much that God wants. Throughout the Psalms the Lord reminds us that he made everything, so our earthly activities -unto themselves- don't mean much. The meaningful gift that we give to God in sacred worship must come from him, grow to perfection in us under his guidance and then be rendered back to him as a gift. Put another way, in the words of St. John, "The Love of God consists in this, not that we have loved him, but that he loved us first and sent his Son as expiation for our sins." (I Jn. 4:10).
Certainly, receptivity marks Advent in a particular way. On the coming feast of the Immaculate Conception, we recognize the gift of Christ received by Mary in anticipation of what he would do for us. Throughout this month we'll think about how Mary received the Word, the Son into her womb. We might even hear a bit about Elizabeth and Zechariah who received John the Baptist in a miraculous conception during Elizabeth's old age. Aside from these births unto themselves, we also see in these figures people who were receptive of God's plan, God's timeline rather than their own. …And by that receptivity they launched the New Covenant.
Our Lord himself, though he needed nothing, received loving kindness from God his Father all those times he "went off to a lonely place to pray." Receiving and doing the Father's will was the Lord's sustenance (Jn 4:34). And as if to highlight this reality by contrast, at the height of his earthly ministry, the Passion, one of the most striking facets of the experience is precisely that Christ seemed to have lost all perception of the Father's consolations, experiencing – as St. John of the Cross would name it – a dark night of the soul on the Cross.
Receptivity is the beginning of worship!
Human hearts, when wounded, tend to get hard, or "stony," as the Gospel says. Stony hearts are ok at fending off more wounds, but they never let in healing… and they never leave us open to wonderful new possibilities. Overtime they end up hurting us more than protecting us. We've all been there. AND… thanks be to God , we have wonderful examples of the kind of hearts God wants for us: The Immaculate Heart of Mary, pierced by seven swords; and the Sacred Heart of Jesus, aflame with love, crowned with thorns.
In my own life I've experienced both a stony heart and a fleshy one. Let me tell you, much as it hurts sometimes, the fleshy heart is better because it's alive… it's moving forward, pushing me on pilgrimage toward heaven.
So this first week of Advent, put a special emphasis on receptivity. It asks a lot of us, but it promises a hundredfold reward. Blessed Advent everyone!

This Agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. It also seeks to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom.
We recognise that eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty, is the greatest global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development.
All countries and all stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership, will implement this plan. We are resolved to free the human race from the tyranny of poverty and want and to heal and secure our planet. We are determined to take the bold and transformative steps which are urgently needed to shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path.
As we embark on this collective journey, we pledge that no one will be left behind. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets which we are announcing today demonstrate the scale and ambition of this new universal Agenda. They seek to build on the Millennium Development Goals and complete what these did not achieve. They seek to realize the human rights of all and to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. They are integrated and indivisible and balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: the economic, social and environmental.The Goals and targets will stimulate action over the next fifteen years in areas of critical importance for humanity and the planet:
We are determined to end poverty and hunger, in all their forms and dimensions, and to ensure that all human beings can fulfill their potential in dignity and equality and in a healthy environment.
We are determined to protect the planet from degradation, including through sustainable consumption and production, sustainably managing its natural resources and taking urgent action on climate change, so that it can support the needs of the present and future generations.
We are determined to ensure that all human beings can enjoy prosperous and fulfilling lives and that economic, social and technological progress occurs in harmony with nature.
We are determined to foster peaceful, just and inclusive societies which are free from fear and violence. There can be no sustainable development without peace and no peace without sustainable development.
We are determined to mobilize the means required to implement this Agenda through a revitalised Global Partnership for Sustainable Development, based on a spirit of strengthened global solidarity, focussed in particular on the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable and with the participation of all countries, all stakeholders and all people.
The interlinkages and integrated nature of the Sustainable Development Goals are of crucial importance in ensuring that the purpose of the new Agenda is realized. If we realize our ambitions across the full extent of the Agenda, the lives of all will be profoundly improved and our world will be transformed for the better.

With this post we are beginning our coverage of D-Wave Systems, the world's first commercially available quantum computer system.
D-Wave Systems and their approach is not without controversy. Computer scientists and those who track technology have long studied the potential of quantum computing. The theories of what it can do are incredible, and lab research proves on a daily basis that these theories can be transformed into working realities. D-Wave Systems was formed to commercialize real technologies in this field, specifically technologies around processing with Qubits. Two generations of systems have been produced, known as D-Wave One and D-Wave Two.
D-Wave publishes a great deal of research and continues to advance the science around quantum computing. But scientists have been arguing for years whether or not these devices are really quantum computers. It might be that they work and work well but are not using true quantum effects. But I believe D-wave's claims (after reviewing as much of the research that I can understand and reading what other scientists say I believe D-wave's claims).
What matters in business is results, and what matters most is results that are differentiated from others. Right now, D-Wave is producing results in optimization problems that appear to be far better than others, by at least two orders of magnitudes.
But a concern that enterprise technologists should evaluate is the rapid march of commodity technologies and new models for distributed computing over commodity technologies. What if in just a few years the already rapid progression of other more standard computing techniques and new models for distributed computing may deliver results that surpass the D-Wave results? I believe the industry is on a path towards that and therefore recommend caution for anyone considering D-Wave.
