When do uplifted nonhumans become citizens?
[this post is a copy of my response to question recently posted on the Technoliberation list]:

The first thing to ask is how human society goes about this. Your first question is "who decides?" Well, who decides in human society that humans can vote, drink booze, and apply for credit?
The state declares that if you're a citizen and you've reached the age of consent, you can vote. That's a pretty liberal and sweeping allowance. There's a general assumption of personhood; other factors, like level of education, race, gender, sexual orientation, etc., are irrelevant. So, when it comes to uplifted animals, citizenship and the right to vote can't be tied into their "species," or other superfluous characteristics that we ourselves don't invoke as reasons for not allowing a person to vote.
Regarding the booze question, again that's the state deciding in conjunction with democratically achieved consensus and a dash of social contract thrown in. And as for applying for credit, that's quite obviously up to the individual companies who are offering it. Based on what I've seen to date in terms of how credit cards are given out like candy, I'm surprised that credit card companies haven't already offered credit to bonobos and platypuses.
Your next question is about the equality of citizens. Actually, once the age of consent is achieved (and you haven't violated the social contract with anti-social behaviour), you are equal under the law regardless of your physical and psychological proclivities. We don't have tiers of citizenship in liberal democracies -- to do so would be a form of apartheid. I think it would be an extremely bad idea to start "demoting" uplifted nonhumans or psychological delayed humans based on some personhood metric. It's a binary concept - you're either an equal citizen under the law or you're not a citizen.
Ultimately, I think your question is this: at what point does an uplifted nonhuman enter the social contract? I would argue that once personhood is determined in an animal, the social contract comes into play. We cannot discriminate between animal and human societies. Nonhumans today already deserve state protection and laws to defend their interests (ergo the pending progressive citizenship legislation in Spain that would recognize the great apes) -- even though they cannot articulate their needs themselves. It's obvious when abuse happens, and it's our responsibility to look out for nonhuman interests. They are part of the social contract, but we acknowledge that their limited psychologies don't allow for other citizenship type behaviour like voting. The same policy is applied to small children and the severely disabled. There is nothing new here.
As for voting and other citizenship perks, we'll know that uplifted animals want to participate in the social and political arena when they start asking for it -- and we'll have to listen. To ignore their pleas for political inclusion, the right to vote and organize, would be discrimination and unconstitutional.

Louise "Scottie" Stephenson worked at Capitol Broadcasting Company longer than anyone in history. Stephenson spent 58 years at CBC, serving the last forty-nine as Corporate Secretary and as a member of the company's Board of Directors.
Scottie was hired at WRAL-AM Radio in 1944, where she wrote ad copy, answered phones, posted the daily casualty list during WWII, gathered birth announcements from the local hospital and became the "Lost & Found" lady on Fred Fletcher's morning show.
Stephenson never went to college but was a veritable encyclopedia of knowledge. She could do it all: when an accountant was needed, she balanced the books; when reports had to be filed with the FCC, she studied the detailed requirements and submitted the information with perfection.
"I don't know how we could have done what we've done without Scottie Stephenson," said CBC President & CEO Jim Goodmon.
Following her radio days, Scottie's role with the company expanded when Capitol Broadcasting set its sights on television. She was the only female on the five-person team that won the FCC license for WRAL-TV in the early 1950s.
Stephenson helped research and gather a veritable mountain of documents for WRAL's application—3,000 pages in all. During the arduous 75-day hearing in Washington, DC she underwent hours of grueling questioning and never flinched. In the end, Scottie Stephenson was instrumental in Capitol Broadcasting winning the Channel 5 license and coming home victorious.
Once the license was won, Scottie set out to organize the new station's workforce. She was the first person on the station payroll and by the time WRAL-TV went on the air in 1956, she had created job descriptions for almost every position. As WRAL's startup staff was hired, Scottie worked wherever she was needed—serving as Administrative Assistant to the President and taking on temporary positions in the Traffic, Sales and Personnel departments.
Scottie used her newly-attained regulatory knowledge to become the station's in-house FCC expert. She was responsible for all FCC filings, a cumbersome task that included reams of paperwork and technical detail.
Stephenson made an impact on the community as well, working as an advocate for the arts and the underprivileged. She spent 16 years on the board of the Tammy Lynn Center for profoundly and severely retarded children. She volunteered for the Raleigh Fine Arts Society and the North Carolina Symphony and chaired the Communications Committee of the Raleigh Junior Women's Club.
One of her favorite projects was the Raleigh Golden Years Annual Holiday Celebration at the Convention Center. Scottie coordinated the festivities for over four decades and saw the luncheon grow from 50 to over 1,500 people.
Scottie received many accolades during her career, including Business and Professional Woman of the Year by the YWCA. She was also the charter recipient of the Junior Women's Club Outstanding Working Member award. The Raleigh Little Theatre even named its outdoor amphitheater after her to honor years of service to the organization.
As Stephenson's years at the company grew, CBC had to create gifts to recognize her record-setting tenure at the annual long-term employees' luncheon. She so far outranked others in longevity that the company presented her with several unique rewards, including a marked parking space near the building entrance.
After Scottie's death, CBC President Jim Goodmon permanently affixed her name to a parking spot at company headquarters on Western Boulevard; it was a reminder of her legacy and contributions. Goodmon said he wanted future employees to always ask, "Who is Scottie Stephenson?" and thus learn her story of determination, quality and excellence.
Louise "Scottie" Stephenson died April 15, 2002 after a brief illness. She was 80.

This video is part of a conversation with Scottie that was produced in 1996.
History of the Golden Years Celebration
Every December, Capitol Broadcasting Company sponsors the Golden Years Holiday Celebration luncheon for the members of the Golden Years Association of the Raleigh (NC) Parks and Recreation Department. Held at the Raleigh Convention and Conference Center in the city's downtown, the celebration attracts over 1,000 senior citizens each year.
The celebration started in 1958 under the leadership of CBC Corporate Secretary Scottie Stephenson. She continued to be the driving force behind the event every year until her death in 2002. She saw the event grow in attendance from 50 to 1,500 in her over four decades as coordinator. Fred Fletcher, the first General Manager at WRAL-TV, had an active role in the celebration as well, especially reprising the song "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth."
The event includes a variety of musical entertainment and ends with the attendees pushing back their chairs and taking a turn on the dance floor. WRAL-TV news anchors host the program which began as a luncheon and converted to become a breakfast and morning event in 2005.
A portion of the annual event is televised on WRAL-TV on Christmas Day.
The Golden Years Association of the Raleigh Parks and Recreation Department sponsors 48 Gold Years Clubs for senior adults aged 55 and older throughout the city. Clubs meet throughout the year and enjoy activities such as hiking, bowling, workshops, trips and a myriad of other activities and special events.

If you've been using Commusoft and Xero independently then you will have the same customers/suppliers in both systems. The problem is that there is no link between these customer/supplier records and therefore when importing data from Commusoft to Xero, Commusoft will create a new customer/supplier record in Xero. This duplication isn't ideal.
To avoid this you need to 'tell Commusoft' that the customer/supplier already exists in Xero. To do this you need to get the customer/supplier name number from Xero and tell Commusoft to associate the customer/supplier with this name.
To link existing customers/suppliers from Xero to customers/suppliers in Commusoft, you will first need the name of the customer in Xero.
You will see a page with all of your customers/suppliers on. Click into the final column and search for the customer. Please note the customer will only appear if you search for it exactly how it is entered in Xero.

Journey of Hope
A Journey of Hope for Cancer Patients in Mount Washington Valley
A new attendee at the cancer support group sat quietly while others told their stories. He had recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer and was feeling very dejected. When it was Betty Bond's turn, she explained that she was a seven-year survivor of Stage 4 ovarian cancer. For the first time, the group's newest participant spoke up. "Finally," he exclaimed, "someone who has survived a Stage 4 cancer!"
It's just one of many examples of the support and encouragement that happens in Memorial Hospital's monthly "Journey of Hope" cancer support group meetings. Now in its 17th year, the group offers participants the opportunity to share their hopes and fears with others who understand what they are going through.
Journey of Hope was created in 1999 by Roxanne Major, RN OCN and Ruthann Fabrizio, RN BSN. Together, the nurses wanted to create a place for cancer patients to come together; a compassionate setting where knowledge, fears and even humor could be shared.
"Everybody is different and everyone has their own story," Roxanne said. "We laugh a lot, we cry, and we talk things out. We sometimes forget how strong people can be. The goal of our group is to meet people where they are, and help as best we can."
Since the group started, hundreds of people with all types and stages of cancer have participated and significant others are encouraged to attend as well. Sometimes, friends or relatives of cancer patients who live elsewhere come looking for answers and support. The group is free and welcomes community members regardless of where they are receiving their treatment.
Robert Bond first started attending the group nine years ago to support his wife, Betty, who was in the midst of her fight against Stage 4 ovarian cancer. Then, three years ago, Robert was diagnosed with a blood cancer.
"Everybody gives you advice," Bob said, "but the group is a place where you can get accurate information as well as support. Today, cancer is really a chronic disease because of all the new chemotherapy agents and targeted therapies."
Ruthann Fabrizio is mostly retired but still co-facilitates the Journey of Hope. Looking back on her long career she said, "As a nurse, you take everything to heart. When there's a cancer diagnosis, everybody is scared. Everybody is looking for a sense of normalcy. The group lets people feel like they are with friends who understand what's happening to them."
Memorial Hospital's oncology and infusion services have grown significantly since it began 20 years. This summer, the hospital completed major renovations, creating a state-of-the art setting for patients to receive quality cancer treatment close to home. And all of them will find a compassionate group of people ready to support them along their Journey of Hope.
Journey of Hope - Cancer Support Group
When: Meets the 1st Tuesday of every month, 7pm - 8:30pm, in the Memorial Hospital Sun Room.
Journey of Hope, a cancer support group:
Since 1999, a vibrant group upwards of 20 cancer survivors have met monthly to provide wonderful support to one another. Whether you have been through it, or are going through it now, this is a great group of people to know. Information, education, speakers and encouragement are provided for those with cancer and their support people. This group is facilitated by an oncology certified nurse and Social Services.

est une ville de Syrie située dans le district d'Abou Kamal (Deir ez-Zor). Selon le Central Bureau of Statistics (Syria) (CBS), Al-Baghouz Fouqani avait une population de 10 649 habitants lors du recensement de 2004.

Histoire

Guerre civile syrienne
Au cours de la guerre civile syrienne, la région de Baghouz (y compris la ville voisine d'Al-Baghouz at-Tahtani) passe sous le contrôle de l'organisation terroriste État Islamique (EI). Au cours d'une offensive, la ville passe des mains de l'EI à celles des Forces démocratiques syriennes (FDS) le , laissant l'EI complètement assiégé dans la ville d'Al-Marashidah au nord. Cependant, le lendemain, l'EI lance une série d'attentats-suicides visant à briser le siège, ce qui lui a permis de reprendre une partie de la ville d'Al-Fouqani avec la banlieue de la ville ciblée par des frappes aériennes de la coalition internationale.

Libération de la ville

Le , les FDS prennent le contrôle  d'Al-Marashidah et d'autres zones proches des positions de l'EI, l'assiégeant complètement dans la ville d'Al-Baghouz Fouqani, dernier territoire sous le contrôle de l' organisation État islamique au Levant.

Le , les forces démocratiques syriennes, soutenues par la Coalition CJTF-OIR, lancent un ultime assaut pour prendre Baghouz Fouqani et effacer le dernier bastion du territoire physique détenu par l'État islamique. La bataille est interrompue pour permettre l'évacuation de plusieurs milliers de civils du réduit, puis reprend début mars. Le réduit est pris en totalité par les FDS le .

Une soixantaine de civils sont tués le 18 mars 2019 dans un bombardement américain. L'existence de ce massacre sera révélé fin 2021 par une enquête du New York Times.

The Pupil Premium is additional funding to help schools close the attainment gap between children from low-income and other disadvantaged families and their peers. The funding is based on the number of pupils eligible for Free School Meals (FSM), looked after children and the children of service families on the school roll during the January census day. Children who have ever been eligible in the previous 6 years for FSM, are also eligible for the Pupil Premium funding and the Department for Education will pass on information to each school about the numbers of pupils eligible for this in February each year. Schools are expected to use the funding to help close the attainment gaps for eligible pupils. For the year 2016-17, schools will receive £1,320 for each FSM pupil and £1,900 for Looked After Children. Schools also receive £300 per child of a service family. School must decide the best way to use the Pupil Premium Grant to narrow the gap between the highest and the lowest achieving pupils and to support the children with parents in the forces.


Wheaton students Maggie Chen '21 (artwork above) and Mariela Saver '21 (below) created these designs to represent the Three Freedoms Project, an initiative that includes a number of ongoing programs and events on campus, such as Diversity Day on Friday, October 26.
The Wheaton community will continue to discuss some of our most essential freedoms and celebrate the diversity of people and perspectives that are part of this campus during the student- and staff-led Diversity Day on Friday, October 26.
The afternoon of workshops and discussions was started by students about four years ago, and this year is being organized by a number of campus groups, including the Intercultural Board, Marshall Center for Intercultural Learning, Office of Student Activities, Involvement and Leadership (SAIL), Center for Social Justice and Community Impact (SJCI), Center for Global Education, Office of Academic Advising and Department of Athletics.
This year's event will focus on the "freedom to be"—one of the liberties explored in the October 24 Three Freedoms Teach-in and related events—exploring a multitude of social identities, including race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, socioeconomic status, ability, nationality, age, religion, size and more.
"We are calling this a 'storytelling project' because we hope people will share their personal experiences and that this will help build community and leadership and help in bridging differences," Marshall Center Dean Raquel Ramos said.
The program will be held from 1 to 5 p.m., starting at Hindle Auditorium in the Science Center with an opening plenary framing the importance of storytelling and building an inclusive community. There will be a viewing of a documentary produced by Dominick Torres '20, in which he interviews Professor M. Gabriela Torres (no relation) about her experience in Guatemala during the civil war there. They will talk about how they worked together to tell her story.
Participants then will break out into small groups led by students, followed by a closing plenary session with poetry and a reception.
All members of the Wheaton community, including students in all four class years and with all social identities, are encouraged to participate. Individuals are strongly encouraged to register in advance through Engage, though day-of registration is available.
The Diversity Day program is focused on three main learning outcomes, SJCI Director Shaya Gregory Poku said. These community goals include: To be exposed to and practice techniques for active listening; to become more aware of why active listening is an important skill for helping to build an inclusive campus community; and to hear stories from people throughout the Wheaton community about how their identities have shaped their life experiences.
"We hope that as a result of this day students will be more empathetic and equipped to navigate the diversity they are encountering in their-day-to-day interactions," Gregory Poku said.
Developing the ability to support and encourage people across difference is a critical life skill and takes knowledge and practice, she said.
Caroline Dyhrberg '19 is one of the student facilitators and will be performing an original poem during the closing plenary. Dyhrberg said the goal of Diversity Day is to give participants the tools to share their own stories.


A Brief History of Motion Pictures was a 1998 short shown before features in Sony/Loews Movie Theaters (later merged with AMC Theatres) featuring the Sesame Street Muppets, providing a synopsis of the developments in filmmaking from silent movies to present day.
This short accompanied all prints on the theatrical release of The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland and accompanied Muppets from Space on a smaller number of prints.
Cookie Monster gives a lecture on the history of motion pictures, with examples on film featuring Marshall Grover and Fred the Wonder Horse. They demonstrate how, after a "not too exciting" period with no picture and no sound, moving pictures were invented; followed by moving pictures with sound ("This town ain't big enough for the two of us!"), which resulted in the invention of the musical. An all-star Sesame Street cast, with Prairie Dawn as the director, joins Grover and Fred in a big musical number called "This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Two Of Us," as the movie turns to color and widescreen. Finally, the Special Effects are introduced: a rolling boulder, a shark, and an enormous Muppet twister chase all of the singers out of the studio.
The clip ends with Cookie Monster eating the sled (Rosebud) from Citizen Kane, and Big Bird (appearing out of an MGM-eqsue logo advertising the show's 30th anniversary, singing a few notes of the theme in lieu of roaring) telling the viewers to "Enjoy the movie!" as Elmo, Herry and Telly (as The Marx Brothers) run by.
Additional puppeteers include Andy Stone, Matt Vogel, and Victor Yerrid.

Chaos Dwarf warband: After seeing the Border Town Burning supplement Dirk has sculpted these cool Chaos Dwarf miniatures for the Black Dwarf warband (yes, that is an example of what would be an excellent submission). This prize includes a total of six unpainted metal figures, plus one bonus model. You can see painted examples of these Chaos Dwarfs here.
Mordheim Bitz Pack: The second Bitz Pack is the Mordheim pack, which contains goodies from the Mordheim sprue, rare metal equipment bitz and Mordheim scenery parts.
Extra Dwarfs: We will give away a few additonal Chaos Dwarf miniatures to random entrants. Of course, only serious submissions will be considered for this, so please do not submit a half-hearted scenario just to get a chance at winning one of these.
If you have any questions about the competition, feel free to ask!
Hmm. I haven't had the pleasure of playing the campaign yet, but might be chance to make a scenario devoted to attacking hobgoblin riders. For the glory of the Khan!
A glorious idea! Anything that produces nice pictures of buildings, terrain & warbands or new scenarios stories is brilliant in my humble opinion .
I´ll have to think about some things - maybe write up some of the BTB scenarios i´ve altered to multiplayers ones for our campaign or make my merchant caravan warband presentable.
And i´ll try to convince Wolfgang to enter the catacomb board he is building - he got the idea when we were talking about horrors of the underground. He was playing around with diablo on an old pc at the time so the look is inspired by the game graphics. My carauders and his carnival of chaos were defeated by a vampire warband when we tested the board and the scenario - a very apt outcome .
No matter what will your answer be, you have my sword, my bow and my axe (and all of my brushes)!
@Horatius: I have seen Wolfgangs catacombs at GG. They're stunning. I did think of the Horrors scenario at first, but he said he was using a different scenario for it, he even posted it, so I thought I didn't have anything to do with it. Anyways, a bunch of photos of it and some BTB-related fluff would make that scenario a great entry. Especially because having another scenario that works with the horrors tiles would making them more motivating since they have multiple uses.
@Skavenblight: Of course! Anything that fits the theme is welcome! Warbands, single Minis, dioramas, campaign summaries, scenarios, new Hired Swords... anything that is content-wise related to the setting.
Wolfgang had the idea for an underground setting in his head for a long time. When two of our gaming group tried a 1on1 BTB campaign and told him about our experience with horrors of the underground he finally decided to build it.
The board´s look is Diablo-inspired, but we transferred it to (or rather beneath ) to the borderlands.
We have used (or rather playtested) the scenario Wolfgang posted in our ongoing BTB campaign last game and will be using it in the next game, the scenario will be a mix of Horrors of the underground (the wyrm will appear) and Wolfgangs dungeoncrawling ideas. When you play with four warbands you almost always need more objectives / things to do then in normal games.
And besides, the board is too cool not to use it .
So again: Please write up the scenario and submit it with a bunch of photos of the board and your minis on it. If nothing else, it will be a great addition to the scenario section.
So does anyone have any ideas of what they are goin to do? Anyone willing to give a teaser?
I am working on a new underground scenario, we playtested it yesterday and it worked fine....but i don´t have a teaser for you .
Oooh yeah! Teasers would be awesome!
ps. Ill try to find my camera, converting my first CD ever atm!
Now that I said I will contribute a mounted marauder warband to the competition, is it just me or do I have yet again roughly a month for a new warband?
Indeed, only little more than a month. Well, nothing pushes you like a good old deadline.
Oh, and by the way, I already received the first submission a few days ago!
U already got your first submission?!? Dang over acheivers always get their first, unlike us PRO-crastinators (of which I AM a big one, and no thats not a fat joke).
I'll write up the whole thing soon, but here's the twist: Both warbands are ALLIED, and (possibly against their will) working to defend the village agianst Hobgoblin raiders. So the 'winner' is not the warband that thrashes the other, but the one who does the best job defending his own half of the village. Sound good?
That does sound great indeed. So will it be both warband's Heroes then, to get more of an outnumbered feeling? I look forward to it.
I love the idea for the Seven (u fill in the blank). Almost a Custards last stand, or Alamo feeling.. but hopefully the heroes will over come!
Alright, I got another submission in. Get cracking, folks.
Phew, people are way too fast.
I have just finished writing the final version of my "Demon Summoning" scenario and have mailed it to Cianty - so now all you aspiring participants have even less excuses not to get cracking .
I´d love to see more scenario ideas like the magnificent seven, please hurry and finish it StyrofoamKing!
This is a reminder: only one month until the contest closes!

Sawt (Arabic: صوت / ALA-LC: Ṣawt; literally "voice"; also spelled sout or sowt) is a kind of popular music found in Kuwait and Bahrain. Sawt is a complex form of urban music, originally performed by 'ud (plucked lute) and mirwas (a drum), with a violin later supplementing the arrangement.
Two men perform the dance, which is called "Zaffan". Al-Sout is performed only at night gatherings of men. It is called "Samra" (nightly chat).

» Home wins praise from relatives and approval of national care inspectors
Home wins praise from relatives and approval of national care inspectors
Care UK's Little Holland Hall care home has been given the seal of approval by the national care watchdog, with residents and relatives praising the home's commitment to caring and dignity.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) report, which follows an unannounced inspection of the home in Frinton Road, quotes a resident's relative who told them: "They treat him with respect, I wouldn't want him to be anywhere else."
The inspectors examined the home and its records and interviewed team members, residents and relatives before announcing that the home meets the Government's five standards of quality and safety which are:
Treating people with respect and involving them in their care
Providing care, treatment & support that meets people's needs
Caring for people safely & protecting them from harm
The inspectors reported that people expressed their views and were involved in making decisions about their care. The team members also had an excellent knowledge of people's needs and were familiar with their preferences, likes and dislikes.
Home manager Mike Parris said: "The team works hard to ensure they know each resident's like and dislikes, hobbies and interests. Then we can help create care packages that are tailored to their needs and unique personalities.
"I was very pleased to see that residents and patients felt they had an input in the running of the home with our constructive and friendly monthly meetings."
The inspectors also reported that all the people and relatives they spoke to were happy with the care and service they received. One person said: "Staff come quickly when I ring my bell. They always find time to help me." One relative they spoke with told them: "I feel this was the best place to come. He is so much more settled here and as content as he can be."
During the inspection in January, inspectors tracked one person who was admitted to the service with a pressure ulcer. They saw that the person's skin integrity was assessed correctly and was cared for on appropriate pressure-relieving equipment. The care plan was cross-referenced to nutrition and moving and handling, as these could have an impact on the treatment of the pressure ulcer.
They reported that the wound assessment was comprehensive and there was an appropriate dressing regime in place. This indicated that people's care was delivered according to their individual care plan.
Mike said: "We welcome these visits because nothing is more important than ensuring older people receive the excellent care they deserve. I am delighted the inspectors got a chance to see the dedication I see every day in my team and I know they will continue working hard to ensure every resident at Little Holland Hall leads a fulfilled life full of dignity and choice."

If you or your loved one likes the thought of being by the sea then Little Holland Hall may be the ideal port of call. This comfortable, purpose-built care home is just metres from the seafront and close to the middle of town at Holland-on-Sea.

Its frequently the case that someone you chat with knows another person who undertakes website design. The particular phrase website designer may range from someone in the school office undertaking admin duties which has been selected in order to tweak the school website to a fully educated and skilled professional internet site designer. agencia web barcelona makes this really hard when this comes to choosing a web site design agency. If you choose the wrong agency, this could mean getting the website that turns prospective clients off, rather than generating product sales.
Nonetheless, it is completely possible to find a company, with some research, who will produce a relatively cheap site design. Credited persistance requires to be carried out when you choose a web agency, to be able to ascertain their level of professionalism and reliability and competency. The number of queries require to be asked.
Internet design organizations you get in touch with will tell you these people generate fantastic work, but you should ask for a customer listing, complete with web addresses. If a company is extremely regarded, they will have a photo gallery or some kind of profile of sites they have created, so you should take the time to visit these sites and see exactly how they show up. Notice exactly how clearly the company message arrives across and how the website ranks in search motor ratings. This is a good concept in order to phone the particular design agency's past clients to determine their feelings about their overall encounter, both during the design procedure and after this. You may nicely receive depressed feedback, but of course you should carry in mind that there are two sides to any tale, so check along with the design company to hear their side associated with events.
It is important to establish if the design agency you happen to be thinking of using can see the job through to completion? Several design agencies will make use of contracted web-site designers to support with overflow, therefore you should know about this up front. You need to know if the design firm you select has the resources to continue with the job, also if the contracted developer departs. In the same way, if you choose a self-employed developer, you need to know what may happen when they become sick, or even simply unhelpful. Many web style firms will have a number of workers, so your concerns will be dealt with.
The price of a bespoke web site can differ a great deal. It is very usual to pay from upwards of about �700 regarding a 20 page static website, depending upon the amount of design and the functionality which is necessary. It furthermore has to be borne in brain the level of function the website agency employed can produce, as properly as the level associated with customer service they offer. A good agency needs to be found that will give outstanding right after sales service, rather compared to taking your cash plus running for the hills. You will get that which you pay for. There are usually many that get their web sites crash after simply a short time and then can not get in touch with the agency that developed it.
You furthermore have to determine if the agency you happen to be thinking of employing builds internet sites that are search engine friendly. The benefits of search engine optimisation (SEO) can not be overemphasised. Right now there are many creative designers who will tell you they will certainly build sites that are SEO friendly, however in fact only have a couple of the meta tag that give almost no value with all. This is not SEO.
First impressions usually do make a difference, so it is essential to ask any kind of questions you may think are appropriate. Do not be scared to get deep, due to the fact is you do, then the chances are that will this will result in a site that you are content with and which attracts web traffic, leading to potential customers being able to access data regarding your own company twenty-four hours a day, seven days a 7 days.
It is possible to find affordable web site design with a little persistence, but most importantly do not just select a single from the first couple associated with pages from the search engine results.


At a similar event in June, the company made 601 offers in one day — 501 in manufacturing jobs like aircraft and avionics mechanics, painters and material handlers — and 100 in areas such as engineering, supply chain and finance, Ross said. Ninety-five percent of the applicants accepted their job offers.
There will be another job fair in August, Ross said. Those who haven't pre-registered can show up with their resumes and go to lockheedmartinjobs.com.
Many of the applicants hired to work on the production line will make $21 to $37 an hour, or $43,680 to $76,960 a year, depending on their experience level, said Paul Black, president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District Lodge 776 at Lockheed.
"I think it is a great opportunity for a lot of folks under one of the best union contracts in the area," Black said. The union and Lockheed agreed on a six-year contract a year ago.
In January, Lockheed Martin CEO Marillyn Hewson emerged from a meeting with then President-elect Donald Trump saying that Lockheed planned to hire 1,800 additional employees in Fort Worth where the F-35 is being built.
The Fort Worth plant employs about 14,000 workers, with roughly 8,800 working on the F-35. Hiring of additional workers will stretch out through 2020, company officials said. Last year, Lockheed built about 50 F-35s and plans call for production to increase to about 160 a year by 2019.
This year, Lockheed Martin plans to deliver 66 jets from Fort Worth, as well as final assembly and checkout facilities in Japan and Italy, said Mark Johnson, a spokesman for the F-35 program in Fort Worth.
The company doesn't have a set goal of how many people it plans to hire on Tuesday, especially since applicants will also be able to apply for jobs at its facility in Palmdale, California. That plant acts as an incubator for developing new, often classified, technology.
While someone may be offered a job Tuesday, it doesn't mean they'll go right to work. They will have to pass background checks and many will be put into a "green pool" where they will wait to be called to work.
The majority of the roughly 2,600 machinists in Fort Worth work eight hours Monday through Friday. Under that schedule, employees work nine days and 80 hours over two weeks by working nine-hour days the first four days of the first week and eight hours on Friday. The second week, they work four nine-hour days and get Friday off.
The next-generation F-35 fighter is being built by Lockheed Martin in Fort Worth for the U.S. Air Force and allies around the world.

Santorum "Throws Up" on Separation of Church and State
Ari Armstrong February 29, 2012
Presidential hopeful Rick Santorum condemned the principle of the separation of church and state, as the Boston Globe reports. Last fall Santorum said that he "almost threw up" after reading John F. Kennedy's 1960 speech endorsing the principle.
On Sunday, Santorum elaborated in an interview with ABC's "This Week":
I don't believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute. The idea that the church can have no influence or no involvement in the operation of the state is absolutely antithetical to the objectives and vision of our country. . . .
The First Amendment says the free exercise of religion. That means bringing everybody, people of faith and no faith, into the public square. Kennedy for the first time articulated the vision saying, no, faith is not allowed in the public square. . . . [I]t is [important] for everybody to feel welcome in the public square. People of faith, people of no faith, and be able to bring their ideas, to bring their passions into the public square and have it out. . . .
But Santorum distorts the meaning of JFK's speech as well as the meaning of the wall of separation between church and state (a term first used by Thomas Jefferson).
Santorum's use of the phrase "public square" illegitimately packages together two totally different ideas (thus committing the fallacy that Ayn Rand termed package-dealing). In his usage, that phrase simultaneously means "in government policy" and "in public places." But bringing religion into government policy and recognizing people's right to hold and discuss religious views in public places are two completely different things. One is forbidden by the separation of church and state—and by the Constitution—and the other is not. For a man running for the presidency of the United States, this distinction should be elementary. But, then, if that man seeks to impose his religion on others, he may find this distinction convenient to ignore.
The separation of church and state does not mean that religious people cannot publicly express their views or run for political office. Nor does it mean that the government may not exercise authority over churches under any circumstances. Properly understood, the separation of church and state means that the government must consistently protect people's freedom to think, believe, or worship as they see fit—while at the same time protecting people's rights to remain free from forcible interference by religious zealots, organizations, and mandates.
For example, while the government should not dictate which "god" a person worships—or whether he worships a god—the government certainly should intervene to stop religious groups from performing human sacrifices, mutilating children's genitalia, hanging homosexuals, torturing "heretics," or holding people against their will. While the government should not stop people from expressing religious views, it should stop people from forcibly imposing those views on others.
Those who, like Santorum, distort the meaning of the separation of church and state open the door to all manner of infringements on religious liberty, and other violations of individual rights. And that, of course, is their goal.

Jinyoung says GOT7 "didn't get along" in their first seven years together
GOT7 member Jinyoung has opened up concerning the reality of the group's relationship with one another within the first seven years they had been collectively.
In a latest interview with Rolling Stone, the seven-piece mirrored on the development of their chemistry as a bunch, each as music group and as mates. Throughout the interview, Jinyoung revealed that the septet didn't get alongside for a very long time after their made their debut in 2014.
"To start with, once we first debuted, we didn't get alongside, and the chemistry wasn't fairly there," the singer-actor advised the publication. "Then for seven years we argued quite a bit, and if we had ignored our issues we wouldn't be the place we're proper now."
But, Jinyoung hints that every one the disagreements the members had truly helped them perceive each other and develop nearer. "As a result of we saved preventing it out, it was the form of scenario the place at a sure level, all the things simply mixes all collectively nicely… like bibimbap," he defined.
After the seven members of GOT7 had parted methods with longtime label JYP Entertainment early final 12 months, the boyband shared that their time aside spent on embarking on numerous solo endeavours has benefitted how they work collectively as a bunch now.
"When performing as a soloist, you may have to have the ability to refill the entire music by your self and dance by your self," defined Yugyeom. "So our complete skill singing and dancing has in all probability gotten higher."
The septet returned final month with their brand-new self-titled EP, which featured the title track 'NANANA'. The mission marks GOT7's first official comeback since departing from JYP Entertainment, after which the seven members have since gone on to signal with seven totally different companies.


Cruise plays Barry Seal, a TWA airline pilot who, in 1978, is bored of welcoming passengers to Bakersfield and Vancouver. While in Canada, he and other pilots run a low-level smuggling ring, bringing Cuban cigars into the United States for a few extra bucks. This attracts the attention of a CIA agent named Schafer (Domhnall Gleeson) who plays into Seal's boredom to recruit him to fly a twin-engine plane over communist training camps in Central America, snapping photos for Uncle Sam. Barry agrees, but doesn't tell his wife Lucy (Sarah Wright Olsen), who pesters Barry for more money for their growing family. When he's shut out of a raise by Schafer, Barry accepts an offer from the men who would become the Medellin drug cartel, led by Pablo Escobar (Mauricio Mejía) and Jorge Ochoa (Alejandro Edda), to smuggle cocaine into the United States for piles and piles of cash.
When Barry is arrested and thrown into a Colombian prison for drug smuggling, Schafer again comes to his aid with an offer: deliver guns to communist-fighting Contras in Nicaragua. Again, the cartel steps in and offers to buy the guns from Barry, who becomes obscenely wealthy from the smuggling, attracting the attention of the FBI, ATF, and several other law enforcement agencies.
Directed by Doug Liman, who previously helmed the under-appreciated (and poorly titled) Cruise sci-fi vehicle "Edge of Tomorrow," "American Made" aspires for the breezy, comedy-drama feel of "The Wolf of Wall Street" or "The Big Short" and ends up mostly succeeding. There are times when the plot feels hacked up to get the running time just under two hours, with stunted characters like Jesse Plemons' "look the other way" small town sheriff getting featured introductions and significant follow-up scenes only to end up with little to do afterward and the sudden fore fronting of one of Barry's vague associates in the final act.
Okay, sure, "Edge of Tomorrow" looks like a sci-fi spin on "Groundhog Day" and yeah, that's the premise in a nutshell. When you have a guy reliving the same day over and over and over again, the Bill Murray classic is instantly top of mind. But more so than that, though, the film is a mildly satirical, exceedingly clever adventure featuring the most accessible and likeable performance by Tom Cruise that we've seen in years.
As a TV-friendly officer charged with selling a land war with aliens to the world, Cruise's Major William Cage is ordered to the front lines with a camera crew to record the great victory over the so-called Mimics. When Cage resists, General Brigham (Brendan Gleeson) cooks up a conspiracy to bust him down to private. Cage is assigned to J-Squad under Master Sergeant Farrell (Bill Paxton) where no one cares if he lives or dies. The next day, after some hasty training and brutal hazing, Cage suits up in his futuristic exo-skeletal armor and is dropped in the middle of a massacre with the rest of the infantry. Cage manages to survive the firefight long enough to come face to face with an "Alpha," one of the rarer Mimics, only to be burned to death by its blood. Immediately upon dying, though, Cage awakes to relive the previous day, destined to fight and die again. This happens over and over and over, with Cage improving his skills every re-lived day with the help of military superstar Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt), the one person who understands what he's going through.
"Groundhog Day" memories aside, "Edge of Tomorrow" brings a fresh and funny perspective to what, on the surface, looks like another futuristic snoozer on par with last year's "Oblivion," also featuring Cruise. Director Doug Liman never leans too heavily on the overarching gimmick, instead using the days Cage relives that we don't see to move the narrative forward. When we think we're seeing progress toward the goal of defeating the Mimics, Rita slowly discovers she and Cage have been in this situation dozens—if not hundreds—of times before. You absolutely feel Cage's frustration, doubly so if you grew up playing video games without save features in the '80s, when a lengthy quest could come to a maddening end just to leave you back at the very beginning. Like Cage, all you're left with is the accumulated knowledge of what you went through. And, like lots of '80s video games, "Edge of Tomorrow" falters near the end, foregoing creativity for mindless action. But truthfully, getting there is all the fun.
Moviegoers on the more conservative side of the aisle might snicker when they hear others call "Fair Game" a fact-based political controversy about former CIA operative Valerie Plame, the internal leak ending her career in the agency, and the grand jury investigation that followed, but the film is compelling, thought-provoking cinema nonetheless.
For those who believe Plame's memoir "Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House," from which the screenplay is adapted (along with her husband Joe's book "The Politics of Truth"), "Fair Game" just might a maddening experience when you piece the narrative together.
"Fair Game," directed by Doug Liman ("Mr. and Mrs. Smith"), tells the story of Plame, whose identity as a member of the CIA is printed in a 2003 article of the Washington Post. Added to this disclosure of top secret information is the supposed reason behind it. Plame's husband, Ambassador Joe Wilson (Sean Penn), who was sent to Africa to investigate a possible nuclear weapons deal between Niger and Iraq but found no evidence of such, wrote an op-ed piece in the New York Times degrading the George W. Bush Administration for invading Iraq and using the intelligence he gathered (in this case proved false) on his trip as a component of the motive for the attack.
Again, "Fair Game" is from one point of view, so depending on your politics (and depending if you judge a film based on those politics) the film might feel as fictional as a fairytale. Leave the politics off the table, however, and you'll find an intelligent, well-written and sometimes heavy-handed account of the events that may or may not have taken place.
Aside from what went on inside the White House, "Fair Game" also examines the personal life of Plame and Wilson as their marriage is tested and professional careers are dragged through the mud during the ordeal. These elements of the film give a nice balance between the ugliness of the political world and what a controversy like this can actually do to a family.
During a near-death experience, David's life is spared when he somehow teleports away from danger and to another location. With his new-found talent to travel beyond space and time – and because he is unhappy at home with his verbally abusive father – he decides he can survive on his own by "borrowing" a few bucks from the bank and getting his own place. Hey, if you could move in and out of anywhere without opening a door, wouldn't you visit a vault?
Flash-forward eight years and David has perfected his skill to teleport across the world. From having lunch on top of the Sphinx in Egypt to surfing the biggest waves in Fiji, David can do anything he wants with the power that has been granted to him. His trouble-free life, however, is interrupted when he finds out he is being hunted by a man whose soul purpose in life is to kill "Jumpers" like himself.
Roland (Jackson), who has been searching for David ever since he heard about his first bank robbery, is part of a unit of hunters known as Paladins. Unbeknownst to David, Jumper and Paladins are at war with each other and have been for thousands of years. Call it jealously or call it their mission, Paladins hate Jumpers because they feel no one should have the gift Jumpers do except God.
Now on the run, David returns home and visits his childhood crush (Bilson), who he strikes up a relationship with again by wooing her with weekend trips to Rome. The script is at its weakest here as David is never questioned about where he has been for the last eight years. Everyone thought he was dead, but who cares now? When you have an endless supply of money and can charm a girl by flying her out to the most extravagant cities, you can get around just about anything.
Excessive on the special effects but sputtering tremendously on the storyline, "Jumper" is illogical and a poor attempt at science fiction. Where the movie could have found its appeal was through David's actual leaps through wormholes and dimensions. Instead, it becomes a drawn-out chase scene with far too many plot holes and flimsy characters.

Date Introduced: 23 October 2002
Commencement: 23 October 2002
Note: The Bill was passed by Parliament on 23 October 2002 and received Royal Assent on 23 October 2002 (Act No. 89, 2002).
To enable the speedier proscription of terrorist organisations under the Commonwealth Criminal Code
Criminal Code proscription
History of Criminal Code proscription provision
The listing of terrorist organisations as part of the definition of a terrorist organisation to be used in the new Criminal Code terrorist offences was introduced by the Security Legislation Amendment (Terrorism) Bill 2002.1 That Bill, which proposed new provisions for the Criminal Code, was first introduced on 12 March 2002.2 An amended version of the Bill was passed on 27 June 2002, and was assented to on 5 July 2002.3 The Bill, as first introduced, provided for the Attorney-General to make a declaration in writing that an organisation is a prescribed organisation if he or she was satisfied on reasonable grounds that:
• the organisation has committed or is committing a terrorist act,
• the declaration is reasonably appropriate to give effect to a Security Council decision, or,
• the organisation has endangered, or is likely to endanger, the security or integrity of the Commonwealth or another country. 4
The Senate Legal and Constitutional Legislation Committee's report on the Bill noted that these proposed proscription powers raised the most concern in submissions and during public hearings.5
In particular, the Committee noted the following criticisms:
• the breadth of the discretion, especially by reference to a perceived threat to 'integrity'
• that the declarations were effectively unreviewable
• that a proscribed organisation could not apply for revocation, and
• that proposed offences were excessively broad, especially that of assisting such an organisation, in light of the strict liability element. 6
The Committee also noted suggestions that were made to it including:
• calling them 'terrorist', rather than 'proscribed' organisations
• giving the Parliament the power to decide, or to at least disallow the declarations.7
The Committee's recommendations included:
• restricting the grounds of proscription, and
• narrowly defining proposed offences in relation to proscribed organisations.8
Current proscription provision
The Government and Labor Opposition reached a compromise on Opposition amendments and revised the Bill to take into consideration some of the concerns noted above.
The provisions of the original Bill were thus narrowed. Accordingly, the definition of terrorist organisation in the Criminal Code is:
• an organisation that is directly or indirectly engaged in, preparing, planning, assisting in or fostering the doing of a terrorist act (whether or not the terrorist act occurs), or
• an organisation that is specified by the regulations.9
Before the Governor-General can make a regulation, the Minister (currently the Commonwealth Attorney-General) must be satisfied on reasonable grounds that:
• the Security Council of the United Nations has made a decision relating wholly or partly to terrorism; and
• the organisation is identified in the decision, or using a mechanism established under the decision, as an organisation to which the decision relates; and
• the organisation is directly or indirectly engaged in, preparing, planning, assisting in or fostering the doing of a terrorist act (whether or not the terrorist act has occurred or will occur).10
In practice, the definition of terrorist organisation was narrowed, at the Labor Opposition's insistence, to a requirement that a connection between an organisation and a terrorist act is proven or that a United Nations decision relating to terrorism with regard to that organisation is required before any regulation prescribing an organisation could be tabled.
Process for proscription
Special regulations were set up in order to list these terrorist organisations. These are called the Criminal Code Regulations 2002.11 At the time of writing, there are 6 organisations listed: Al Qaida was listed on 21 October 2002, Jemaah Islamiya on 23 October 2002,12 and 4 other organisations were listed on 14 November. 13 Each regulation ceases to have effect after 2 years.14 A regulation also ceases to have effect if it is repealed or the UN decision ceases to have effect. 15 Identical regulations can be remade at any time.16
What follows from the proscription
If an organisation is listed in the Criminal Code Regulations 2002 made under Division 102 of Criminal Code, it means that the prosecution does not need to prove that organisation's engagement in a terrorist act in court. This is because the Minister (the Attorney-General) is already required to be satisfied that the organisation is the subject of a Security Council decision and is involved in the doing of a terrorist act (whether or not it has occurred) prior to listing. In theory, this listing could be challenged in a judicial review application. However, the existence of a Security Council decision would tend to eliminate this possibility.
The Government has stated that the listing of organisations serves a number of purposes including that it puts people on notice not to deal with the listed organisation and facilitates the investigation and prosecution of those engaged in supporting or carrying out the activities of terrorist organisations. 17
The offences in Subdivision 102B of the Criminal Code relating to terrorist organisations are that it is an offence to be an individual who knows, or is reckless as to whether, the organisation is a terrorist organisation when he or she:
• directs,
• recruits for,
• trains or is trained by,
• gets funds to or from, or
• provides support or resources to
a terrorist organisation.
The penalty for persons who know the organisation is a terrorist organisation is 25 years, and for those reckless as to whether the organisation is a terrorist organisation is 15 years.18
It is also an offence to be a member of a terrorist organisation if the person knows the organisation is a terrorist organisation. The penalty is 10 years. This offence will not apply if a person can demonstrate that he or she took all reasonable steps to cease to be a member of the organisation as soon as practicable after finding out the organisation was a terrorist organisation.
Charter of the United Nations proscription
There is a separate list of terrorist persons and organisations that are proscribed to ensure that their assets are not used or dealt with. Anybody that knows of or holds assets in relation to any of those persons or organisations is obliged to freeze them and not deal with the assets or organisations, nor allow them to be dealt with or used. The penalty for these offences is 5 years imprisonment. As of 13 December 2002, these obligations arise under Part 4 of the Charter of the United Nations Act 1945 (the UN Act) which sets out offences to give effect to Security Council resolutions.19
It is important to note that any organisations proscribed here, apart from the 6 presently proscribed above, are not proscribed terrorist organisations for the purposes of the Criminal Code. This does not mean that there can be no prosecution for being a member of such an organisation under the Criminal Code, but that any such prosecution would need to establish separately that the organisation is directly or indirectly engaged in or supporting the doing of terrorist acts (whether or not the act actually occurs). In other words, prosecution for terrorist organisation offences relying upon the first arm of the definition of terrorist organisation.
The UN Act implements the Security Council Resolution 1373. Sub-paragraph 1(c) of the UN Security Council Resolution 1373 states that
…States shall ... Freeze without delay funds and other financial assets or economic resources of persons who commit, or attempt to commit, terrorist acts or participate in or facilitate the commission of terrorist acts; of entities owned or controlled directly or indirectly by such persons; and of persons and entities acting on behalf of, or at the direction of such persons and entities, including funds derived or generated from property owned or controlled directly or indirectly by such persons and associated persons and entities; 20
Since 15 October 2001, the Minister (the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade) could prescribe the organisations in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations (Anti-terrorism Measures) Regulations 2001. On 13 December 2002, these Regulations were repealed and are replaced by Part 4 of the UN Act and through the operation of the Charter of the United Nations (Terrorism and Dealings with Assets) Regulations 2002.21
Under the Criminal Code, a penalty of life imprisonment is also available for a person who provides or collects funds and is reckless as to whether the funds will be used to facilitate or engage in a terrorist act.22
Reserve Bank Listing
It is worth noting that the Reserve Bank of Australia had also used a list of terrorist persons and entities for the purposes of prohibiting transactions involving persons or entities identified by the United Nations and the United States as being linked to terrorism. This was done under the Banking (Foreign Exchange) Regulations 1959. On 2 September 2002, these measures were revoked and are now replaced by the UN Act proscription noted above.23
Before the passage of this Bill, the Criminal Code included a delayed commencement for any regulations made listing terrorist organisations:
Regulations for the purposes of paragraph (c) of the definition of terrorist organisation in this section may not take effect earlier than the day after the last day on which they may be disallowed under section 48 of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901. That section has effect subject to this subsection.24
This meant that any regulations made could not come into force until the end of the disallowance period which is 15 Parliamentary sitting days in both Houses of Parliament. This was unusual for the regulation making process in so far as it delays commencement until the end of the disallowance period. Item 2 of Schedule 1 removes this requirement for a delayed commencement for the proscriptions. As a result, an organisation could be proscribed in Australia under the Criminal Code immediately following a Security Council decision relating to terrorism which named the organisation.

Tomorrow we are entering to the last ten days of the Ramadan. The last ten days of Ramadan is special; for our"Prophet (S) would spend his night in worship, wake his family (at night), exert himself and tighten his Izaar(waistcloth)"; [i] the occurrence night of power; the first revelation of Qur'an. The night of Power or Night of Qadr, on the day when the first revelation of Qur'an came is being attributed with a benefit of 1000 nights by Allah, The Clement. Aisha (r) asked Prophet (S) what to do on the day of Qadr, so the Prophet (S) told her to Allah, The Most Compassionate asks for forgiveness.
'To err is human and to forgive is divine' is a common quotation we often hear. It is true that human beings have an inclination towards evil and committing sin. And Allah, The Most Merciful loves to forgive, for he is Al Ghafoor (The All forgiving), Al- 'Afuw (The Effacer of sins), At – Tawwab (The Acceptor of Repentance), and so on.
Ramadan is a time where there is a chance for sins to get forgiven more than in other months due to its virtues, and the Day of Qadr, more than any night. Prophet (S) taught us a great prayer (Dua') to supplicate on the day of Qadr. It is recommended to supplicate often during all the times, especially during the month of Ramadan, in the last ten days of it, and during the odd nights of it even more so.
The Dua explains the love of Allah, The Subtly Kind, to human beings, because He has ascribed one of His name and His attribute for the benefit of human beings. The Prayer affirms that Allah, is Oft – Forgiving, and that he loves to forgive. And what human beings is want of all the time in their life is forgiveness from Allah, The Ever forgiving. Now it does not matter the amount of sins you do. Asking forgiveness with Tawhid and sincerity is enough, for Allah, The Loving have mentioned that He would forgive if the sins are 'to reach the clouds of the sky'[iii]or 'nearly as great as the Earth'[iv]or that which 'fill the heavens and the earth[v].
Now it is time for us, sinners to ask forgiveness, with sincerity, leaving the sins forever and never returning back to it.

More Myself is described by Flatiron as a "360-degree perspective on Alicia's path—from her girlhood in Hell's Kitchen and Harlem, to her career as a 15-time Grammy Award-winning artist, songwriter, and record producer, to the process of self-discovery she's still navigating."

General Electric Co. surged after agreeing to sell its biopharma business to Danaher Corp. for $21.4 billion, a transformative step in the new CEO's effort to rescue the troubled behemoth.
GE halted plans to spin off its broader health care business as it focuses on completing the deal, Chief Executive Officer Larry Culp said Monday in an interview. GE will receive cash proceeds of about $21 billion for the biopharma operation while also transferring certain pension liabilities to Danaher, a company that Culp ran for more than a decade until 2014.
The Danaher deal underscores Culp's aggressive approach to pulling GE out of one of the worst slumps in its 127-year history. Culp, who became CEO of the Boston-based manufacturer after the surprise ouster of John Flannery, has been reshaping the portfolio while looking to cut expenses and repay debt.
GE jumped 18% to $11.95 ahead of regular trading in New York. The shares have advanced 34% this year through Feb. 22, the biggest gain on a Standard & Poor's sub-index of U.S. industrial companies.
The cost to insure against a GE default dropped to the lowest in four months. Five-year credit-default swaps tied to the company fell 25 basis points to 104.5, according to prices compiled by CMA.
Danaher's shares rose 6.6% to $121.
The biopharma unit, which makes equipment for manufacturing biotechnology and drug therapies, represents about $3 billion of GE Healthcare's annual sales. The deal, expected to close by the end of the year, is not subject to a financing condition or a shareholder vote.
The previously planned spinoff of the health unit, which includes life-sciences operations as well as a sizable business making imaging machines, had been slated as a key pillar of Culp's turnaround, alongside the sale of GE's stake in Baker Hughes and the divestiture of GE Transportation.
GE will shelve plans for the initial public offering as it turns its attention to completing the deal with Danaher, Culp said. That will leave GE with a $17 billion business manufacturing MRI machines and other imaging equipment.
Danaher has refocused on health care after spinning out Fortive Corp. in 2016, shedding its industrial business arm. It bought Cepheid, a molecular diagnostics and medical testing company, for about $4 billion in 2016. In 2018, it acquired Integrated DNA Technologies, which makes products for gene-sequencing and editing for $2 billion.
The GE deal would be Danaher's biggest takeover by a wide margin, however, and should fundamentally reshape its business and make it a major provider of technology and tools to biotechnology and drug companies. The unit had about $3 billion in sales last year, and makes everything from lab supplies to complex cell-processing technologies that are used to manufacture and test cutting-edge, boutique medicines.

Jerry Jones admits to stirring Cowboys QB controversy
Jerry Jones admits to stirring Cowboys quarterback controversy.
SI Wire
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones admitted to intentionally adding to the controversy with the team's quarterback situation between rookie Dak Prescott and veteran Tony Romo.
Jones told the Wall Street Journal that he likes creating storylines and talking to the media to keep the team in the headlines.
"That's one of the things that makes sports interesting," Jones said. "I do feed that."
Jones has repeatedly opined on the team's quarterbacks since Prescott has taken over the starting position after Romo injured his back in the preseason.
In October, Jones said that Romo would be the team's starting quarterback when he returned from his back injury.
He then said Romo would be Prescott's backup after Romo was cleared to play, and then Jones said he wanted Romo to be part of team, even suggesting that the 36-year-old veteran was still capable of leading the Cowboys to the Super Bowl,
"I think there's some of me that wants to [stir things up]," Jones said. "That probably is intentional."
Dallas has the NFC's best record at 12–2 after beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26–20 on Sunday. They will clinch the NFC East and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs with a victory next Monday night against the Detroit Lions or if the New York Giants lose to the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday.
