Two nation-states debate, the world watches, and a longsuffering people await their fate.
To assert that Kashmir has been at a perennial crossroads is a gross understatement. For the good part of sixty years, Indian, Pakistani, and Kashmiri interests have been tussling over the disputed region. For the most part, though, the South Asian nation-states have been able to impose their authority on the region, many a time to the detriment of the Kashmiri people.
This is not to imply, however, that Kashmiris are or have been resigned to victimization. In April of 2013, supporters of the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) in Indian-controlled Kashmir protested a court ruling that sentenced more than twenty political prisoners to life in prison, in addition to demanding the return of the remains of recently-executed Kashmiri extremist, Mohammed Afzal Guru (Safvi, 2013). These specific requests are united by the general call for long-term peace and democracy in Kashmir. As atrocities committed by India's Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) have mounted in recent years, this call has intensified considerably, with a number of political commentators and activists seeing Kashmiri democracy as the core component of any solution to the six decade-old question.

Visions of the democracy in question are far from homogenous. The various parties involved in the dispute have all produced their respective roadmaps for a peaceful and democratic Kashmiri future, which, despite overlapping in certain key respects, differ in ways that hold serious ramifications for the Kashmiri people. Drawing on a diverse range of theoretical perspectives, this paper examines two such roadmaps produced by the JKLF and an Indian parliamentary delegation deployed to the Kashmir Valley in May of 2012.
Appreciating the rationale behind the JKLF's manifesto for Kashmir naturally necessitates understanding the JKLF itself. Founded in 1977 with Pakistani support, the JKLF is a secular nationalist group that seeks Kashmiri independence from both India and Pakistan ("Who are the Kashmir militants?" 2012). Several commentators acknowledge a JKLF bomb attack carried out in July of 1988 as the formal start of the Kashmiri insurgency (Ibid), and the group is unsurprisingly classified as a South Asian terrorist organization by the Indian government. Ironically, the success of the Kashmiri insurgency worked against the JKLF in the medium term, as Pakistani politicians – many of whom had initially backed Kashmiri independence after conceding defeat to India – switched to supporting groups in favor of the region's accession to Pakistan.
"Sandwiched between Indian security forces and pro-Pakistan militants," the JKLF suffered a significant decline in the 1990s as its leadership became factionalized, and its organizational units were "dispersed, destroyed, or absorbed into other groups" (Ibid). The group has experienced something of a reimagined resurgence in recent times, with various factions "coming together in a non-violent political movement for the reunification of Pakistani and Indian Kashmir" (Ibid).
To a large extent, the JKLF's plan for a fully independent Kashmiri state is contingent upon the UN's willingness to mediate fairly between the different parties involved in the dispute. But is the UN any more likely today to drive Kashmir's transformation then it was sixty years ago?
The JKLF's ideological reorientation is apparent in the stated purpose of its roadmap for the resolution of the Kashmir conflict, which is "to ensure a peaceful, prosperous and respectable future for India, Pakistan and Kashmir." At the same time as the JKLF claims to be concerned with regional security, it also laments the "miseries, massacres, and continued agony" endured by Kashmiris in the past sixty years; it warns that failure to answer the Kashmir question could spell disaster for all parties concerned (Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front).
The JKLF has proposed a five-phase reunification of Pakistan and India-controlled Kashmir, leading to the creation of a "fully independent state with a democratic, federal and secular system of government [...] [that has] friendly relations with both India and Pakistan" (Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front). The phases are as follows:
In keeping with a Security Council Resolution passed in June of 1998, the UN Secretary General would set up an International Kashmir Committee (IKC). The IKC's members would be nominated by the UN Secretary General, permanent member countries of the Security Council, NAM, OIC, EU, Germany and Japan, with each party reserving the right to make one nomination. The IKC would discuss the JKLF's proposal for an independent Kashmiri state, coordinating with the leaderships of India, Pakistan, and Kashmir to determine the proposal's implementation.
All armed forces, civil personnel, and militant groups would withdraw or be withdrawn from Kashmir.
All militants opposed to and in favor of India would be disarmed. Persons displaced by the struggle would also be repatriated to their homes.
All internal roads in Kashmir closed since 1948 will be reopened. The first national assembly will be established in Srinagar, the current capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir. The assembly will be populated by senior members of existing assemblies at Srinagar, Muzaffarabad, and Gilgit. The elected parliament will be bicameral, with the national assembly serving as the lower house and a senate serving as the upper house. In a nod to America's Congress, the lower house's capacity will be determined by the populations of the five Kashmiri provinces (the Kashmir Valley, Jammu, Ladakh, Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan), all of which will have equal representation in the senate.
Fifteen years after reunification and independence, the UN will supervise a referendum in which Kashmiris will have to opportunity to remain independent, join India or Pakistan, or "adopt any other [democratically supported] course [of action]." "Implementation of the result of the referendum will settle [...] [the Kashmir question] forever" (Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front).
The final section of the JKLF proposal highlights the most salient features of the roadmap. Many of these pertain to the positive impact that implementation of the JKLF formula will have on the relationship between India and Pakistan. According to the JKLF, the roadmap would leave the "national ideologies" of India and Pakistan intact, as neither would have to concede control over Kashmir to the other.
As such, Kashmir would become a "bridge of friendship" rather than a "bone of contention" between India and Pakistan, paving the way for diplomatic and economic gains through the resolution of other disputes. This would not only eliminate the prospect of nuclear war between India and Pakistan but also increase the international standing of the South Asian nations. As far as the Kashmiri people are concerned, the JKLF is confident that its roadmap would let them employ their "freely expressed and unfettered will" to decide their own future. Political freedom aside, Kashmiris would be spared the myriad traumas associated with continued mass migration, communal and ethnic disturbances, and overall bloodshed (Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front).
Despite sympathizing with the Kashmiri people for many of the aforementioned reasons, the Indian parliamentary delegation's roadmap for peace and democracy in the region was deplored by a number of Kashmiri figureheads. Yasin Malik, the chairman of the JKLF, avoided meeting with the delegation, subsequently stating that the report's recommendations proved the Indian leadership's "intellectual bankruptcy" (Gill and Kumar, 2012).
The delegation's findings notwithstanding, the events that precipitated its visit contextualize Malik's sentiments. In February of 2010, Kashmiris were up in arms after Indian authorities in Srinagar killed 13-year-old Whamiq Farooq Wani in controversial circumstances. Wani died after being hit in the head with a tear gas shell fired by Indian police forces attempting to disperse protestors.
Not long thereafter, protests engulfed the Kashmir Valley. Seeking to calm tensions, an Indian parliamentary delegation traveled to Kashmir, holding discussions with "all sections of the population," calling for an end to protests, and formulating "a regional road map for peace" (Gill and Kumar, 2012). The delegation was by no means undistinguished, with former Times of India editor Dileep Padgaonkar, academic Radha Kumar and retired bureaucrat M. M. Ansari among those tasked with the "mammoth job" of answering the Kashmir question. After meeting with 700 other delegations and around 6,000 Kashmiris over more than two years, the delegation published its recommendations (Gill and Kumar, 2012).
A New York Times article published by reporter Hari Kumar and researcher Nikhila Gill shortly after the delegation's report identified some of its key points, contemplating the possible causes of resultant Kashmiri discontent. The report began by noting that there is a "deep sense of victimhood in Kashmir," the citizens of which want to lead a life of "dignity and honor" (Gill and Kumar, 2012). It built on this premise by stating that the Kashmiri people desire "freedom from all forces of religious extremism, unaccountable administration, harsh laws, judicial delays, intimidation and violence," adding that "a political settlement in Jammu and Kashmir can be achieved only through dialogue between all stakeholders" (Gill and Kumar, 2012).
With regard to dialogue, the delegation called for increased interaction between Indian-controlled Kashmir and the surrounding areas, civilians in the two parts of Kashmir, and the Indian government and the Hurriyat Conference, an umbrella organization of separatist groups; it also recommended an exchange program for artists, students and intellectuals from both sides of the border. However, it then stipulated that Jammu and Kashmir should remain a single state within the Indian Union, anathema to most proponents of the Kashmiri cause.
This recommendation did come with certain caveats: for instance, India's central government would require the state's assent to pass laws in most regulatory areas, with all central government acts and articles of the constitution related specifically to the state being reviewed by Constitutional Committee; residents of other states would also not be allowed to purchase land in Kashmir. Needless to say, these concessions did little to reassure Kashmiris, who almost unequivocally see continued Indian political authority of any kind as unacceptable (Gill and Kumar, 2012).
In addition to looking into Kashmiri wishes, intercultural dialogue, and state regulation, the delegation explored economic avenues for cooperation and ruminated on migration issues and the release of Kashmiri prisoners. It stated that tourism across the Line of Control that divides Indian and Pakistan-controlled Kashmir should be encouraged, and that the state should create special economic zones to encourage investment, provide export incentives for handicraft s and horticulture, and complete pending rail and road projects (Gill and Kumar, 2012).
The delegation also stipulated that "the government should facilitate the return of Kashmiri Pandits, Hindus from the area who fled decades ago under threat of violence, and of groups who migrated from Jammu and Kargil" (Gill and Kumar, 2012). Finally, "jailed stone throwers and political prisoners should be released, and the government should facilitate the return of Kashmiri youths stranded across the Line of Control. A judicial commission should be appointed to look into the unmarked graves […] which hold thousands of bodies" (Gill and Kumar, 2012).Continued on Next Page »

Kitchen transforming is a good method for you to enhance the worth of your own home and to put a brand new spin in your old living areas. The primary time I used a grey and black fleck with white cabinets with purple doorways on a black and white checked tile floor for a 50's diner type kitchen.
The custom black cabinets for instance aren't going to appeal the audience as well as they might if the lighting were applicable. If you happen to plan to make use of painted cupboards, the fashionable MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) offers a very steady and durable materials, easy to fabricate and a fantastic floor for portray.
These sinks and the required hard surface counter to go along with them may be pricey, so we tried to scale back costs in every different method we may by doing the work ourselves, waiting for a sale on cabinets, and shopping for lower-end home equipment.

De Orde van de Confederatie van Bar (Pools: Order Konfederacja barska) was een in 1771 ingestelde ridderorde. De orde was ingesteld door een "szlachta", een liga van Poolse edelen. Zij verzetten zich tegen in de jaren 1768–1772 tegen de groeiende overheersing door Pruisen, Oostenrijk en vooral Rusland.

In de schatkamer van het klooster Jasnogórskiego is een kruis bewaard gebleven waarop op de armen de Latijnse inscriptie "PRO FIDE ET MARIA PRO LEGE ET PATRIA" (Nederlands: "voor het geloof en Maria, voor recht en vaderland") staat. In het centrale medaillon zijn Madonna en Kind geschilderd met op de ring de woorden "MARIA * VICTPIX * HOSTIUM ".

Op de keerzijde staat in het Pools "Kazimierz Pułaski, Marszałek łomżyński, dał nagrodę dobrze zasłużonym na Jasnej Górze dnia 2 lutego 1771". (Nederlands: "Kazimierz Pulaski, maarschalk van łomża, gaf deze welverdiende beloning bij Jasna Góra op 2 februari 1771"). In het midden van het kruis is op de keerzijde een wit geëmailleerde adelaar, als in het wapen van Polen, afgebeeld met daaromheen de opdracht "IN HOC SIGNO VINCES (Nederlands: "in dit teken zult u overwinnen"). De Poolse Wiki noemt als inscriptie "BENE MER IN CL / MONTE 2 D FE / 1771 , CAS POOL - op de bovenarm en MAR Lomza - op de rechterschouder van het kruis en TRIB Prae / premie - op de onderarm.

In de armen van het kruis zijn vier gouden vlammen gelegd. Boven het kruis is een verhoging in de vorm van een monogram aangebracht.

De orde heeft voor zover bekend nooit officiële statuten gekend. De opstand van de confederatie verliep niet succesvol. Ook het instellen van een onderscheiding of ridderorde zal daarom moeizaam zijn verlopen.

Over de orde en het kruis wordt getwist. Er zijn drie gepubliceerde hypothesen.

 Het is het speciaal voor de aanvoerder van de szlachta, Maarschalk Pulaski, vervaardigd insigne. De bondgenoten droegen allen een dergelijk kenteken.
 Het is een onderscheiding of ridderorde voor dappere soldaten.
 Het is een onderscheiding of ridderorde voor dappere soldaten, in dit geval in bijzonder prachtige vorm speciaal voor Maarschalk Pulaski vervaardigd.

De vorm van het kruis van de Orde van de Confederatie van Bar vinden we later terug bij de in 1`791 ingestelde Virtuti Militari, een hoge militaire onderscheiding van Polen.

1. Soap & Glory Orangeasm body butter. I recently did a review of this which you can see here. The smell is very different from the original Soap & Glory scent and is zingy and fresh! The thing I love most about this is it has tiny shea massage balls in it which burst as you rub it in to make your skin extra smooth.
2. Garnier Micellar cleansing water. Before trying this I tried a micellar lotion from Avene and did not like it at all, so automatically assumed I disliked all micellar waters. Then Garnier brought out their own version and the blogging world went crazy for it, so I thought I'd give it a try. How wrong I was about micellar waters! I absolutely love this and have been using it daily for the last couple of months to remove my makeup. I ran out of my bottle I purchased in June, so immediately went and got another one a couple of weeks ago. It is definitely the most effective product to remove makeup while still being extra gentle!
3. Kiehl's Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream. A perfect alternative to foundation that is good for your skin and leaves it feeling soft and healthy! With the cold weather coming my skin starts to dry out and look a bit dull, so foundation can be a bit harsh on my skin. This BB cream contains Vitamin C and makes my skin look fresh and radiant.
4. ARK Anti-ageing Skin Protector Primer. I received this primer at the ARK skincare event a couple of weeks ago. It is super luxurious and smells like a spa product! It not only helps to reverse ageing effects but also protect young skin from the signs of ageing. It's perfect for dry skin as it helps to moisturise skin and makes your foundation stay put throughout the day.
5. The Body Shop Baked to Last blush in Coral. This 2-in-1 blusher & highlighter duo is long lasting and gives a healthy pop of colour. You can use the two shades individually or swirl them together. Perfect for perking up dull winter skin!
I love soap and glory products but I've never tried this one! I'm addicted to the micellar water too! Great post!
i'm loving the garnier micellar water as well!
I love garnier's micellar water it's amazing!
The Garnier Micellar water is lovely. Really gets rid of all the makeup and leaves your skin feeling so clean.

From Rawlemon, a Barcelona-based company working in the field of solar energy, comes a wonderful spherical wonder that might change the aesthetics of harvesting solar energy.
Team at Rawlemon believes that energy should be produced where people actually live - meaning, near our homes in our cities. But to do so, we don't need to have our window views blocked by enormous, cold, robotic-looking apparatuses. The solution can be very pleasing to the eye, as Rawlemon already demonstrated with their solar projects, successfully funded on Indiegogo.
They offer various products, but today we'd like you to meet Beta.ray 1.00. It's an easy to transport and install outdoor generator with a patent pending micro dual axis tracking unit for full environmental integration, with the lowest possible weather impact. It comes equipped with a hybrid collector to convert daily electricity and thermal energy at the same time.
The beautiful photovoltaic sphere was created by Andre Broessel, a German architect who got inspired by his daughter's toy marbles. The generator uses a spherical lens, a giant transparent lemon-shaped orb made of water-filled Acrylic-Polymer, in order to concentrate sunlight on a small photovoltaic panel together with a dual-axis pivot, tracking the sun's celestial movement.
According to Rawlemon, Beta.ray 1.00 operates at efficiency levels of nearly 57% in hybrid mode. At nighttime the Ball Lens can transform into a high-power lamp to illuminate your location, using a few LED's. The station is designed for off grid conditions as well as to supplement buildings' consumption of electricity and thermal circuits like hot water.
With Rawlemon's products being 99% transparent, the company's slogan couldn't be more appropriate: "The future is not green, it's transparent."

La zecca degli Stati Uniti produsse nel 1879 e nel 1880, una prova di una nuova unità monetaria, la Stella, dal valore di 4 dollari statunitensi.

Queste prove erano state coniate per preparare l'adesione degli Stati Uniti all'Unione monetaria latina. Ma alla fine il Congresso americano decise di non aderire.

Furono provati due dritti: quello flowing hair (capelli fluenti) su disegno di Charles Edward Barber e quello coiled hair (capelli raccolti) di George T. Morgan.

Intanto queste prove misero in imbarazzo i Congressmen. Numerosi parlamentari avevano comprato a costo di produzione le poche centinaia di Stelle coniate. Lo scandalo nacque quando fu notato che un certo numero di esemplari erano finiti come pezzi di gioielleria ai colli di dame che operavano nei più famosi bordelli di Washington.

Lucy Gunning produced Quarry as a result of three month Moving Image Residency, which was co-organised by Picture This and Spike Island, Bristol.
Lucy Gunning trained as a sculptor although she has become primarily known for her film and video works, which often focus on the performance of physical acts, examining the idiosyncrasies of human behaviour. She won critical acclaim for two early films Climbing around My Room 1993 and The Horse Impressionists 1994 both of which engage with ideas about 'acting out'. Gunning's work often has a wistfulness and sense of nostalgia, evoking memories from childhood and adolescence.
Born in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1964, Gunning studied at Falmouth School of Art, Cornwall, and Goldsmiths College, London. She has had a number of solo and group exhibitions in this country and abroad, and was featured in The British Art Show 5 (National Touring Exhibitions, 2000).
Lucy Gunning is represented by Matt's Gallery, London and Greene Naftali Gallery, New York.
Dominic Paterson spent the Summer of 2010 as our writer in residence. Here, in his essay, he looks into our archive at Quarry (2003) by Lucy Gunning.

Energy woes: Experts say Pakistan's N-plants under IAEA safeguards
The new power plants is a relatively low-cost solution to energy problems.
By Qamar Zaman
"Seismic, oceanic, tsunami and other related data of the last over 50 years was collected, analyzed and incorporated in the design of the new project," says Khalid Banuri. PHOTO: FILE
ISLAMABAD:
Nuclear energy experts have allayed concerns about safety of the country's largest civil nuclear power project that was launched recently and described it a relatively low-cost solution to its energy problems, keeping in mind the Fukushima nuclear disaster that set alarms bell ringing about the safety of such plants.
"Seismic, oceanic, tsunami and other related data of the last over 50 years was collected, analyzed and incorporated in the design of the new project," Strategic Plans Division Director-General Air Commodore (retd) Khalid Banuri said while addressing a seminar on Thursday.
"We are upbeat about the future," Banuri said.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif performed the groundbreaking of the Coastal Power Project K-2 and K-3, the country's biggest power plant that will generate 2,200mw electricity and described it "a proud moment in the energy history of Pakistan."
The seminar on "Energy Crisis and Nuclear Safety and Security of Pakistan," was organized by the Strategic Vision Institute (SVI) in collaboration with Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS).
About the post-Fukushima scenario, Banuri said, "Pakistan's all nuclear power plants are under IAEA safeguards and have a rather impeccable record of safety, security and transparency."
He said that Pakistan is the 15th country to have commissioned nuclear power plants. The under-construction Chashma-III and IV plants, he said, were well ahead of the stipulated time schedule and within the estimated cost.
Addressing the seminar, Muhammad Rahman, Director, Nuclear Safety, Pakistan Nuclear Regulatory Authority (PNRA), said that after the Fukushima incident Pakistan had taken prompt steps including, activation of National Response and Emergency Coordination Centre (NRECC) to maintain link with IAEA Incident Emergency Centre, offered assistance to Japan and performed environmental monitoring within Pakistan during which 157 air samples were collected from seven major cities and analysed. No detectable increase in airborne activity (beyond background) was detected in the samples, he added.
In addition, regulatory laws have been revised after the Fukushima incident, said Rahman.
He said that Pakistan is fully committed to implementing IAEA Action Plan on Nuclear Safety and has started working in the areas including, reassessment of natural hazards at plants, strengthening the effectiveness of regulatory body, enhancing the effectiveness of operating organization, strengthening and maintaining capacity building and reinforcing emergency preparedness and response.
"We need to get out of the energy crisis as soon as possible; not doing so would endanger our survival. The government would have to work out a strategy within the available resources and capacity," Chairman, Board of Governors, SVI, Dr Ross Masood Hussain said in his concluding remarks.
"Pakistan's energy crisis is one of the biggest challenges, which also profoundly impinge upon its national security. Therefore, it is important to not only utilize existing resources more efficiently but also to explore alternative sources of energy to cater to the rapidly increasing demand," KAS Resident Representative Ronny Heine said.

Party Pics: Ballet Hispanico
New York, NY – October 16, 2015 -Ballet Hispanico, celebrating 45 years of sharing and reflecting the diversity of Latino cultures through dance, announced the grand opening of Ballet Hispanico at the Arnhold Center & the Ford Foundation Lobby on Tuesday, October 13, 2015 at 167 W. 89th Street. The ceremony highlighted the recent renovation of Ballet Hispanico's longtime home, with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony followed by a tour and reception.
Kate Lear, Chair of the Board of Directors of Ballet Hispanico, welcomed the crowd and introduced speakers, including Gale A. Brewer, Manhattan Borough President, City of New York; Lee Koonce, Executive Director, Ballet Hispanico; Eduardo Vilaro, Artistic Director, Ballet Hispanico; Margaret Morton, Program Office, Creativity & Free Expression, Ford Foundation; and Jody Gottfried Arnhold, Member & Honorary Chair of the Board of Directors of Ballet Hispanico. Notable attendees included: Vin Cipolla; Diana DiMenna; Tom Finkelpearl; Joan Finkelstein; Norman Lear; Sharon Luckman; Christina McInerney; and Nancy Ticotin, among others. Following the ceremonial ribbon cutting, attendees enjoyed a champagne toast, hors d'oeuvres and a special performance featuring young dancers from Ballet Hispanico's School of Dance.
"The Arnhold Center will help us expand our programs and become a true and much needed Latino cultural center. And the Ford Foundation lobby will provide a sunny welcome to our students, guests and their families," said Ms. Lear. "We are thrilled to celebrate this important milestone in Ballet Hispanico's 45-year history and we extend our deepest gratitude to Jody Gottfried Arnhold, the Arnhold family and the Ford Foundation."
The facades of Ballet Hispanico's two historic carriage houses were restored and redesigned to give new life and improve accessibility to the building. Newly opened doors and windows, now with glass, welcome the community and enable passersby to see School of Dance classes. A complete refresh of the lobby, featuring interactive digital displays and historical photos, now enhances the impact of Ballet Hispanico's artistic home.
SUK Design Group supervised the restoration of the façade and redesigned the layout of the first floor. Interior designer Carolyn Wharton, senior principal at Deborah Berke Partners, designed the lobby and reception furniture. A grant from the Ford Foundation allowed for the lobby make-over and technology improvements, including three large digital displays that will greet visitors and students. Additional funding from the Ford Foundation funded other projects and bolstered the organization's reserve. A major gift from the Arnhold family celebrates Jody Gottfried Arnhold's 30 years on the Board of Ballet Hispanico, 16 of those years in the role of Board Chair.
"Ballet Hispanico has brought individuals and communities together for 45 years to celebrate and explore Latino cultures through dance," said Jody Arnhold. "Our family is very proud to usher in an exciting new chapter with the opening of The Arnhold Center where new programs and collaborations will further enhance Ballet Hispanico's position as a source of connection and inspiration."
"Under the artistic leadership of Eduardo Vilaro, Ballet Hispanico continues to thrive, and the new Arnhold Center and Ford Foundation Lobby embody the strength of his artistic vision over the past six years. We are looking forward to an exciting autumn and beyond," said Lee Koonce, Ballet Hispanico's Executive Director.
This fall, Ballet Hispanico is featured in the inaugural Great American Dance film seriesalong with the San Francisco Ballet, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and New York City Ballet. On Thursday, November 12, 2015 at 7pm (local time), over 600 U.S. cinemas will screen Ballet Hispanico's CARMEN.maquia and Club Havana. The event will also include a special behind-the-scenes look at the company's rehearsals and dancers.
In addition, Ballet Hispanico makes its annual holiday return to the Apollo Theater in Harlem with an expanded New York Fall Season from November 20-21, 2015. Highlights of the season include the World Premiere of an evening-length work by Brazilian choreographer Fernando Melo set to live music, and Saturday en Familia, a special matinee for families featuring fun Ballet Hispanico repertory favorites. The company continues to tour nationally and internationally and will return to The Joyce Theater in April 2016 for its New York Spring Season.

This game is all about Tom Fulp's commitment to not shave his face until his next console game, Castle Crashers, is completed. It's a ridiculously over-the-top arcade boss battle that is well worth your time. Use the ARROW KEYS to move. Press "A" KEY to attack or Hold "A" KEY to charge a special attack. Good luck!


I decide to go with what I know.
I cut up the peppers intro strips, of course carefully clapping the halves of the peppers together over the compost can to send seeds flying into the sink, the floor, and onto the wall. I dump them on a pan, oil, salt, pepper, and mix them all up. As usual, I've used way too much oil, so I wipe up a bunch with a paper towel and chuck that as well.
I slide the pan into the oven. The recipe called for 500 degree super roasting of the whole peppers. Normally, I'd roast the strips at, what, maybe 450 tops, but I'm too lazy and just leave it at 500. After a while, I check them and they're quickly blackening. I give the pan a shake, which does nothing, and close the oven door, clapping my hands together like a real chef. I think about it and then remember that in the past I've decided that it's actually worth carefully flipping flippable roasting things in the oven to get them roasted just right. I pull out the pan and use tongs to flip each and every pepper. Must have been 27. I put it back in. A master chef.
I'm supposed to use a delicious loaf of ciabatta but yesterday Amy went to the store late in the afternoon and all they had left were baguettes. I could criticize Amy's choice of store-going, except she was hoping I would go earlier and I didn't. Somehow I end up getting out of going and it involves teen logic as Maya wants me to catch up to them in watching "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" so we can all properly binge. The baguettes give me an out when the sandwich doesn't taste right. This is known as the baguette clause. So I cut the baguette and toast it.
Now it's time. I slap on a layer of goat cheese to the bread, add a layer of roasted peppers with drizzled vinaigrette, some fresh basil leaves, three thin strips of red onion each, a dash of salt and pepper, top bread, and there it is! Sounds good, right? I serve one to Amy and one to Maya and we eat them without comment. No "Oh my god!" No "Wait, is that vinaigrette?!" They just munch on the day-old baguettes and finish off the sandwiches.

Among the many post-bac programs offered around the country, and even at Drexel University, the Master of Science in Biomedical Studies (MBS) program stands out with its unique blend of undergraduate and graduate coursework and MCAT preparation. Located on Drexel University's Center City Campus in Philadelphia, Pa., this full-time, two-year special master's program is designed for students with a lower undergraduate science GPA. It offers a unique opportunity to enhance students' credentials to become competitive applicants for medical or other health professional schools. The structured, carefully balanced biomedical studies curriculum evolved from our former one-year Medical Science Preparatory and second-year Master of Science in Biological Science programs.
What does the Biomedical Studies program offer?
Stepwise academic challenge
In Year 1, advanced undergraduate science courses in chemistry and physics help boost students' science competencies and undergraduate science GPA; graduate coursework supports implementing study and time-management skills essential to succeed in the rigorous second-year coursework.
Which Pre-Medical / Pre-Health Program Is For Me?
Compare the programs.
In Year 2, students immerse themselves in coursework equivalent to the first year of medical school, taught by the same College of Medicine faculty members who teach Drexel medical students. Students' academic success will demonstrate their readiness for medical and other health professional schools and, if certain criteria are met, guarantees an interview with Drexel's MD program.
Extensive preparation for the new 2015 MCAT
Both undergraduate and relevant graduate coursework (including biochemistry and psychology) are designed to provide the background tested in the various sections of the revised MCAT. MBS also includes a dedicated on-campus, year-long MCAT preparation course offered by Princeton Review, to further enhance the coursework and instill strong test-taking skills.
Building a strong application portfolio
The Biomedical Studies program focus extends beyond academics to support the growth of a well-rounded applicant by providing opportunities for community service and summer research. Our team-based holistic advisement approach helps students fine-tune all steps of the medical school application process.
Biomedical Studies students also benefit from our linkage and affiliation opportunities. Students who take the full Biomedical Studies curriculum and meet specific GPA and MCAT criteria are guaranteed an interview with Drexel University College of Medicine's MD program. Additional linkage and affiliation agreements exist with Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) and Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM).
Please visit the curriculum page for more information
Caroline Illuzzi
"The unique aspect of the MBS program is that it does not focus solely on improving one aspect of one's medical school application, such as grades. The program is comprehensive and designed to improve all aspects of one's application, and it also provides application support." Read Caroline's Story
Brian Leonard
"I don't think I would be in medical school if it weren't for the Biomedical Studies program. It not only helped me with my GPA, but I significantly increased my MCAT score too. Additionally, the faculty helped me with figuring out where to apply, gave me advice on my essay and prepared me for interviews." Read Brian's Story

Admission to the MD Program
A number of academically excellent pre-medical and pre-health program graduate students are interviewed each year for admission to Drexel University College of Medicine's MD program. The MD program enrolls a strong cohort of students from our pre-med and pre-health programs. For the past several years, pre-med and pre-health graduates comprised about ten percent of the entering MD class.

Q: Using Windows cmd.exe and a batch .cmd, can I copy/xcopy/??? a Unicode filename from x:\* to y:\* I want to do a very simple thing:  Copy a file.
Copy is a simple (and fundamental) command. It should be easy, but it seems to be complicated when it comes to Unicode filenames (using English XP, cmd.exe, and a .cmd script).
I have managed to create a .cmd file with the Unicode filenames, as follows
    :: To create the final .cmd script
    ::
       set SRCE=D:\_cmd\cpp
       set DEST=H%SRCE:~1%

       cmd.exe /U /c DIR /A:-D /s /b "%SRCE%" >"SRCE.UTF16"
       cmd.exe /U /c DIR /A:-D /s /b "%DEST%" >"DEST.UTF16"

       ConvUTF.exe  1628 "DEST.UTF16" "DEST.UTF-8"
       ConvUTF.exe  1628 "SRCE.UTF16" "SRCE.UTF-8"

    :: Then, with `sed.exe`, `diff.exe`, and `ConvUTF.exe` again...
    :: the resulting UTF-8 (or UTF16) .cmd file looks like this...
    ::
       copy "D:\_cmd\cpp\ā.क.test" "H:\_cmd\cpp\"

The copy command works fine when I run it directly at the command prompt, but fails, when used in the .cmd script.
The UTF-8 .cmd errors out with: The system cannot find the file specified
The UTF16 .cmd doesn't get past the first NULL-byte (of the first character), and just exits.
Is there some way to do it from a .cmd script?   (I want to use the cmd.exe shell)
Perhaps there is a utility program which can be called from my .cmd...
All suggestions are welcome.
PS. To clarify the manin issue...  I don't care about how Unicode filenames display in the console window (That just doesn't happen for most non-latin-based letters in the cmd.exe window)...  I am only interesterd in being able to copy a file which has Unicode letters in its filename- via a batch .cmd "script".

A: Save the UTF-8 batch file without the BOM at the start which will trip up cmd. Also, cmd isn't really Unicode-aware when it comes to batch files. You should put
chcp 65001

into the batch at the beginning to switch to UTF-8 which should enable your Unicode characters to be read and processed correctly. The only downside is that this change persists even after the batch file exited and thus you're stranded with the shell in UTF-8. You can save the previous code page and restore it at the end if this poses a problem.
Also changing the console font to a TrueType font might help since several internal commands are known to exhibit Unicode problems with raster fonts (a reason why for /f over dir is such a stupid idea generally).

Chevychase, I read over his initial post again. We have one-year and five-year subscriptions available for this 1987 Chevy Truck service repair manual as well as discounts on any additional vehicle manuals purchased at the same time. Posted on Jul 17, 2009 Here you can look it up , may like to have this for future reference! One has four and the other has six. Buy now for the best electrical information available. Used for trouble shooting certain situations. Swap it out and try the horn. You might originate from a search engine, after that discover this internet site.
Main one is right back at you, and it jumps into the large loom heading down. It will help you understand connector configurations, and locate and identify circuits, relays, and grounds. When you install the sending unit the little float will be hanging down and the gauge should read empty. That is the 12v going thru the tiny bulb in the tester a resistance and trying to drive the horn. I did find someone else on th internet with the same problem, sound like some may have come off the production line like this. There are 36 pages, measuring 17.
Buy now for the best electrical information available. Repair Guides Wiring Diagrams Wiring Diagrams Autozone, size: 800 x 600 px, source: repairguide. Be prepared for some gas spillage with a container or some old rags. Do you hear a tiny click? Can anyone tell me where the feed is to the fuse box and what color wire should it be? Glad one of the drawings worked for you, was the free hand one that one? I would lean towards the switch itself being the problem. Ford Truck Technical Drawings And Schematics — Section H — Wiring, size: 800 x 600 px, source: www. Look at the other relay part numbers in the cluster and see if there is a match for the horn one.
Once again thanks for the program. It's a round, silver cylinder approx 3 -4 inches long with a nut on the both ends. Or you are a pupil, or maybe even you who just wish to know about 1987 Chevy Truck Wiring Diagram For Gas Tanks. It is a set of loose-leaf sheets. Let me know what you find. If not, look for the horn relay fuse and replace it. Either one could cause the problems you are experiencing.
My fuel pump turned on and ran if I tested it. Modern electronic systems can make the job look daunting, but not when you have access to the manufacturers' detailed instructions. This causes no problems with shorting, just nothing happens. Then under system click on electrical distribution , under subsystem click on fuse panel. Aug 19, 2008 Assuming you don't have some kind of Space Shuttle technology to work with, the best thing to start with is an empty gas tank.
Use a testlight on out put side of link, check for voltage. It will help you understand connector configurations, and locate and identify circuits, relays, and grounds. However, if you find differences that are not repairs, I'd like to hear about them. Here you go Jerry hope this helps you! Then you replace it by loosening the front nut from the Fuel line and sliding the fuel line forward; then use a wrench to loosen the nut on the back. This subject is a great deal of individuals looking online, for that reason we collect photos from various trustworthy sources and understand in their field.
I had to dig it out of the many wires to find it and remove a lot of tape. Then you replace it by loosening the front nut from the Fuel line and sliding the fuel line forward; then use a wrench to loosen the nut on the back. I don't want to break the switch or housing, has someone pulled one of these out before? Thank you for your reply. It was running fine on the left tank and when I switched to the right tank it quit. The only fuseable links 2 that feed your fuse block come off the starter solenoid unless you have a factory dual battery system.
It is amazing to me that this one little orange wire could cause so much grief and be so hard to track down. Wiring diagrams are black and white, but they frequently have color codes printed on each line of the diagram that represents a wire. Try blowing through it in reverse with compressed air. Wiring diagrams are black and white, but they frequently have color codes printed on each line of the diagram that represents a wire. If so, it might be an indication that your solenoid is bad. You should hear a click from inside every time you touch 12 volts.
I know I have dealt with every single aspect of the fuel system on my 84. Connect tester clipwire to 12v source battery, headlight has to be on and touch its tip to metal of car. Good luck and hope this helps. The orange wire that powers up the ecm is technically part or the fuel pump relay circuit as it also feeds the fuel pump relay 12. The diagram I have shows 2 fused links off the starter.
Both have excellent wiring, fuel lines, brakelines, etc diagrams. Next page click on wiring diagrams an enter your vehicle info. Wiring diagrams are black and white, but they frequently have color codes printed on each line of the diagram that represents a wire. If you have the factory chev manuals please post you wire diagram. Covers both gasoline and diesel engines. May 13, 2009 Assuming it is a fuel problem I checked at the carb. Because the sheets are oversized, they may be folded in half for shipment.

Q: Active cflayoutarea element not loading source content We have a CF 9 project that got upgraded to CF 2016 couple of weeks back. Original developers and the person who upgraded the project left our company. No one in our company ever worked with ColdFusion. So I was asked to do some research in fixing couple of bugs.
Whenever user clicks on different cflayout tabs, source content is getting disappeared after fraction of seconds. If I validate the page source code using IE developer tools, these tabs markup  (markup generated by the tab sourceurl)already exists in the markup. But something is stopping this markup from appearing in UI. Can anyone please help me solve this issue?
P.S: First tab (test1) data is always appearing as expected. Other tabs content is always getting disappeared after some time.

News / Multinational forwarders losing 'abandoned' clients to more agile smaller rivals
© Rudall30
Mid-sized forwarders have reported they are gaining customers at the expense of multinationals as Covid-19 forces companies to be more agile and responsive.
A survey published yesterday by Barclays/BOD on the state of logistics confidence notes: "Larger companies have generally found things more difficult than smaller ones, despite being more likely to benefit from a more diverse customer base, as they may have found it harder to adapt quickly to the changing market."
Ligentia said it had seen a rise in customer numbers.
"This year we've seen a surge in businesses moving to mid-tier supply chain solution providers," said Dan Gill, chief customer officer.
"Those providers with the flexibility to adapt quickly to customer requirements, alongside the ability to provide the very latest in digital technology, have experienced an increase in new business wins."
However, he warned: "This is not the time to be complacent, the industry is facing probably the most challenging time most of us have ever experienced, meaning customer service is now key in retaining relationships. We are fortunate at Ligentia to have some of the very best talent working in our business, who have continued to show their commitment to delivering an outstanding service at such a difficult time."
Meanwhile Brian Hay, chief executive of Cardinal Maritime Group said his 'takeaway' from 2020 was that "the mid-market companies … appear to have performed so much better for their clients than the multinationals".
He explained: "We've had so many approaches from businesses that have been effectively abandoned by some of the industry's leading names, unable to provide the flexibility and adaptability needed to navigate through this challenging environment.
"This will certainly change how many importers and exporters plan for 2021, with many likely to spilt their supply chain across multiple suppliers, which actually seems a sensible strategy right now."
Loadstar Premium has also noted the trend. Meanwhile, several observers have pointed to high charges and costs using larger companies.
"[There have been] lots of sharp practices conducted by unscrupulous large companies," claimed William McNally, MD of McNally Haulage. "Lots of these players offer a low-ball price on a basic job but then quickly add extras contained in the small print.
"What's worse, more often than not they subcontract the loss-making job, keep a margin on that job and still add on their 'additional fees'."
Keith Gaskin, group commercial director of Seko Logistics, added: "It's not in our nature just to roll over and not serve our clients, no matter how difficult the circumstances. It's mid-size providers like ourselves that are nimble enough to change swiftly to the challenges and demands of this market.
"While we're all competitors in a tough market place, companies like ourselves want the same thing – to keep our clients' supply chains moving."
Increased digitisation has also boosted the mid-tier industry.
"The rapid digital transformation across our industry has highlighted where certain businesses are falling behind, no longer having the ability to meet the changing requirements of more agile and complex supply chains," explained Mr Gill.
"Companies like Ligentia had already anticipated those changes and began investing heavily in the very latest technology. The pandemic this year has forced businesses to adopt new ways of working, bringing new tech requirements to the top of every customer's wish list, and where there are gaps our new virtual world allows those unsatisfied buyers to shop around quickly."
And according to one freight recruitment executive, mid-sized forwarders are hiring more people.
"I've heard that the way some of the top 10 or so are treating their customers has been disgusting," said New York-based Danny Barnes. "It's been a great year for mid-size forwarders and we've seen that reflected in increased hiring."
Another headhunter, Scott Williams, added: "This is apparent across many suppliers. The 'big boys' are not able to flex and adapt. It is the ones that stand up and be counted for their clients now that will reap the rewards in calmer waters."
However, there are risks on the horizon, according to one mid-sized forwarder who said he could feel Maersk looming large in the market.
"We haven't lost any customers yet,- but I suspect we will. Maersk will simply stop offering named account pricing to NVOs, or want tripartite deals.
"Remember a couple of years back, when they were saying this is the only way they would deal with a BCO was through a forwarder/agent?"

Q: Can Below Script take where clause from Spread sheet A@ cell I have a JavaScript I using in Google Apps Script (spreadhseet). When I run the code, it takes certain data from MySQL tables.
I need to know, can I add a WHERE clause in that SQL which takes the string from the Spreadsheet and run.
Now I specify the WHERE clause manually in code. I need that WHERE clause string from the Spreadsheet cell and run and give me a result.

A: Answer:
Absolutely! You can build the where clause in Apps Script dynamically by taking data from a bound sheet.
Example:
If, for example, the data you want to take is in column B:
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('<your-spreadsheet-id'>);
var condition = ss.getSheets()[0].getRange('B1').getValue();
var value = ss.getSheets()[0].getRange('B2').getValue();

var sqlClause = "SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE " + condition + " = " + value;

The Dark Crystal: Is The Future Of Secrets Shared?
Who controls your online accounts and identities? For most of us, the answer will be some combination of Big Social -- companies like Google and Facebook -- as well as a host of smaller platforms and services, all of them parceling up and selling our information for profit.
But after a series of high-profile hacks, trusting social media corporations to store and safeguard our personal information looks an increasingly bad idea. And many are understandably wary about letting platforms look after their cryptocurrency investments. Custody of our digital assets, it seems, is shaping up to be a key issue for network citizens.
Enter Dark Crystal, a project based around Scuttlebutt (interviewed in a previous episode) and recipient of a recent grant from Ethereum Foundation. Dark Crystal enables users to store private keys -- from Bitcoin to email encryption and beyond -- with and inside their communities and social networks. To do this, i makes use of the mathematical magic behind Shamir's Shared Secret, allowing groups of friends to safely store different 'shards' of a key, bringing it together as and when needed.
In this episode, we meet Peg and Kieran from Dark Crystal to discuss the implications of the project: what happens when custody of our most precious digital resources can be taken away from banks and megacorps and entrusted to friends, family and community? And do projects like Dark Crystal signal the beginning of a new, cryptography-based 'information commons'?


Making baby food can be super easy with a couple of things in the cabinets.
Get yourself an immersion blender.
This is a quick and easy way to get your baby's food made with out a big mess.
Save money over the premade pouches by picking up nature's little squeeze pouches.
We still use them for our daughter at 2.5 and fill them with all of her favorites.
As you plan for your baby. Consider cloth. Consider simple.
Creating your Baby Registry - Green on a Budget!
when many of the options do not promote closeness with the new baby.
Consider a convertible car seat. We loved our Graco Size4Me 65 Convertible Car Seat which was around $180.
What to look for: A convertible car seat that does rear facing from 4lbs to 40lbs.
Why you don't need an infant bucket.
Tell the mom who knows everything to stop. Just stop.
You don't need a bucket. You don't need all of the piece that snap together. Is it easier? Maybe. Does it promote your child being left alone more. Definitely.
Remember the rear facing infant car seat should be used only for travel (not sleeping, feeding, or any other use outside the vehicle for which the car seat is not designed.
Just because every parent leaves their kid in a car seat to sleep once in the house, in the restaurant or shopping center does not make it the safest place for the child.
Consider: Is you child safer covered with a blanket in a seat next to you or held close in a carrier so that they can hear your heartbeat, feel the rise and fall of your breath.
These children are not always "kidnapped" but things happen! Wearing a child is a much easier way to keep a child safe.
Get a car seat that they can stay in rear facing for the duration.
This seat goes from 5lbs to 40lbs rear facing. It is not super rugged but great if you need a cost effective second car seat for around town or a babysitter.
We have the Cosco version as our second seat. Like the Evenflo these low cost options are going to fit most kids rear facing from birth to 3years old.
forward facing toddlers from 22-65 lbs.
