The Democrats finished their party convention last night and issued a party platform that discusses issues that affect rural America in particular.
What do the Democrats have in mind for rural America? Well, read the platform.
Editor's Note: Now that both political parties have finished their national conventions, we thought it might be time to see what their platforms have to say about issues that specifically affect rural America.
Below are excerpts from the Democratic party platform. To see a full copy, go here.
We published excerpts from the Republican platform earlier. To see that, just scroll down.
We are committed to creating a rural economy built to last – one focused on reclaiming the security of the rural middle class by growing the food, fiber, and fuel that the rest of the world buys and restoring the basic values of hard work and fair play that made our country great.
By investing in job creation, clean energy, agriculture, and education, Democrats have built a stronger rural economy where future generations can enjoy the rural way of life. President Obama and Democrats in Congress have worked to extend credit to a record number of small business owners, boosting economic growth in rural America.
We support a clean energy economy that is creating jobs and helping lower energy costs in rural America. U.S. biofuel production is at its highest level in history.
We have made historic investments in renewable fuels and expanded markets for them.
We support strengthening rural water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure to make rural businesses more competitive.
We have expanded broadband access to nearly seven million rural Americans, including rural businesses, creating new jobs.
We have invested in water and wastewater community infrastructure projects, safeguarding the health of 18 million rural residents and creating even more jobs.
Democrats will strengthen the American farm safety net by renewing crop disaster relief, maintaining strong crop insurance programs, and creating a permanent disaster relief program.
We will improve access to education and health care, especially for rural veterans, and conserve millions of acres of public lands while supporting rural recreation and tourism.
Our vision for rural America stands in stark contrast to our opponents'.
Republicans in Congress have introduced a budget that would gut rural economic programs that invest in education, clean energy, infrastructure, and health care, undermining job growth and economic development in rural America.
They would severely weaken the farm safety net for family farmers in times of natural disaster and economic hardship.
Agriculture. An agricultural economy built to last is integral to the affordability of our food, the independence of our energy supply, and the security of America's middle class.
Democrats support agriculture from the small farms that feed the community to the large farms that feed the world. Under President Obama, American farmers are seeing record farm income, record agricultural exports, and millions of acres enrolled in conservation programs. President Obama has expanded markets for American goods that help support more than a million agriculture jobs here at home. And in the past few years, agriculture has been one of the fastest-growing parts of our economy, creating one out of every 12 American jobs.
Democrats appreciate agriculture's role in securing America's food security and making our country an ambassador of food aid to countries across the world. That's why Democrats support a strong farm safety net, with increased availability of crop insurance and emergency disaster assistance to help farmers and ranchers keep their farms in business after natural disasters and crop loss.
Democrats are also planning for a strong agricultural future, and President Obama has proposed increasing funding for research and development to improve agricultural productivity and continue to pursue global food security.
American Indian and Alaska Native tribes are sovereign self-governing communities, with a unique government-to-government relationship with the United States.
President Obama and Democrats in Congress, working with tribes, have taken unprecedented steps to resolve long-standing conflicts, finally coming to a resolution on litigation – some dating back nearly 100 years – related to management of Indian trust resources, administration of loan programs, and water rights.
The President worked with Democrats to pass the HEARTH Act to promote greater tribal self-determination and create jobs in Indian Country.
The Affordable Care Act permanently reauthorized the Indian Health Care Improvement Act to improve care for Native Americans. Democrats enacted the Tribal Law and Order Act, support expansion of the Violence Against Women Act to include greater protection for women on tribal lands, and oppose versions of the Violence Against Women Act that do not include these critical provisions.
We will continue to honor our treaty and trust obligations and respect cultural rights, including greater support for American Indian and Alaska Native languages. Democrats support maximizing tribal self-governance, including efforts for self-determination and sovereignty of Native Hawaiians.
Democrats know that the United States must preserve our leadership in the Internet economy.
We will ensure that America has a 21st century digital infrastructure – robust wired and wireless broadband capability, a smarter electrical grid, and upgraded information technology infrastructure in key sectors such as health care and education. President Obama has committed to ensuring that 98 percent of the country has access to high-speed wireless broadband Internet access.
We are finding innovative ways to free up wireless spectrum and are building a state-of-the-art nationwide, interoperable, public safety network. President Obama is strongly committed to protecting an open Internet that fosters investment, innovation, creativity, consumer choice, and free speech, unfettered by censorship or undue violations of privacy.
In the last four years, President Obama and the Democratic Party have taken concrete steps to make us more energy independent.
We've supported nearly 225,000 clean energy jobs and Americans are importing less oil, breathing cleaner air, and saving money on energy costs. Historic investments in clean energy technologies have helped double the electricity we get from wind and solar.
New emissions and fuel efficiency standards for American cars are reducing our oil use, saving consumers at the pump, and putting Americans back to work. Our dependence on foreign oil is now at a 16-year low, and a new era of cheap, abundant natural gas is helping to bring jobs and industry back to the United States.
We can move towards a sustainable energy-independent future if we harness all of America's great natural resources. That means an all-of-the-above approach to developing America's many energy resources, including wind, solar, biofuels, geothermal, hydropower, nuclear, oil, clean coal, and natural gas.
President Obama has encouraged innovation to reach his goal of generating 80 percent of our electricity from clean energy sources by 2035. Democrats support making America the world's leader in building a clean energy economy by extending clean energy incentives that support American businesses and American jobs in communities across the country.
It's not enough to invent clean energy technologies here; we want to make them here and sell them around the world. We can further cut our reliance on oil with increased energy efficiency in buildings, industry, and homes, and through the promotion of advanced vehicles, fuel economy standards, and the greater use of natural gas in transportation.
Harnessing our natural gas resources needs to be done in a safe and responsible manner, which is why the Obama administration has proposed a number of safeguards to protect against water contamination and air pollution. We will continue to advocate for the use of this clean fossil fuel, while ensuring that public and environmental health and workers' safety are protected.
We support more infrastructure investment to speed the transition to cleaner fuels in the transportation sector. And we are expediting the approval process to build out critical oil and gas lines essential to transporting our energy for consumers.


Objective: Recent improvements in life expectancy globally require intensified focus on noncommunicable diseases and age-related conditions. The purpose of this article is to inform the development of age-specific prevention guidelines for adults aged 50 and above, which are currently lacking. Data Source: PubMed, Cochrane database, and Google Scholar and explicit outreach to experts in the field. Study Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria: Meta-analyses, intervention-based, and prospective cohort studies that reported all-cause mortality, disease-specific mortality, or morbidity in adults were included. Data Extraction: A systematic review was undertaken in 2015 using search terms of a combination of and "intervention," "mortality," "reduction," "improvement," "death," and "morbidity." Data Synthesis: Interventions were categorized according to the Center for Evidence-Based Medicine Level of Evidence framework. Results: A summary table reports for each intervention the impact, strength of evidence, initiation, duration, and details of the intervention. Age-decade-specific preventive recommendations have been proposed relating to physical activity, diet, tobacco and alcohol use, medication adherence, screening and vaccination, and mental and cognitive health. Conclusion: Clear recommendations have been made according to the existing evidence base, but further research investment is needed to fill the many gaps. Further, personalized approaches to healthy aging complemented by population-wide approaches and broader cross-sector partnerships will help to ensure greater longevity is an opportunity, rather than a burden, for society.
Sets out progress to reduce premature avoidable mortality as set out in 'Living Well for Longer: National support for local action to reduce premature avoidable mortality.' The report argues that there has been improved prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of the five big killers: cancer, stroke, heart disease, lung disease, and liver disease. It also outlines the next steps for ongoing improvements across the system in reducing premature mortality, focusing on shared system leadership, accountability and transparency, ensuring prevention is front and centre, and improving outcomes for patients.
Background: Home visits for older adults aim to prevent cognitive and functional impairment, thus reducing institutionalisation and mortality. Visitors may provide information, investigate untreated problems, encourage medication compliance, and provide referrals to services. Methods and Findings: Data Sources: Ten databases including CENTRAL and Medline searched through December 2012. Study Selection: Randomised controlled trials enrolling community-dwelling persons without dementia aged over 65 years. Interventions included visits at home by a health or social care professional that were not related to hospital discharge. Two authors independently extracted data. Outcomes were pooled using random effects. Main Outcomes and Measures used were mortality, institutionalisation, hospitalisation, falls, injuries, physical functioning, cognitive functioning, quality of life, and psychiatric illness. Results: Sixty-four studies with 28642 participants were included. Home visits were not associated with absolute reductions in mortality at longest follow-up, but some programmes may have small relative effects. There was moderate quality evidence of no overall effect on the number of people institutionalised. There was high quality evidence for number of people who fell, which is consistent with no effect or a small effect, but there was no evidence that these interventions increased independent living. There was low and very low quality evidence of effects for quality of life and physical functioning respectively, but these may not be clinically important. Conclusions: Home visiting is not consistently associated with differences in mortality or independent living, and investigations of heterogeneity did not identify any programmes that are associated with consistent benefits. Due to poor reporting of intervention components and delivery, the authors cannot exclude the possibility that some programmes may be effective.

Q: least number of "atomic moves" to reconstruct a permutation Given a list A with no repeated entries, and list B which is a permutation of A, how can I find the least number of "atomic move" to convert B to A?
Example of atomic move:
A=[a,b,c,d,e]
A1=[e,a,b,c,d] # A[4]-> A[0]
A2=[a,b,d,e,c] # A[2]->A[4]

But A3=[a,b,e,d,c] is two atomic moves.
Example:
A=[a,b,c,d,e]
B=[b,d,e,a,c]

Atomic moves to convert B to A
B[3] -> B[0] # to get B1 = [a,b,d,e,c]
B1[4] -> B1[2] # to get B2 =[a,b,c,d,e]=A

This show is finally about over. Though I will miss the Maci and Bentley updates, I'm not really sad about MTV no longer following these four girls. I got sucked into 16 and Pregnant when it first debuted a little over three years ago, starting with Maci's debut episode, and although that starter series may continue (as might Teen Mom 2 and a new Teen Mom 3), I'm happy to have some closure on Teen Mom. [if you're interested, by the way, here's Amber's debut episode, Farrah's, and Catelynn's (which has no real substance, sorry.] I have nothing to say about Farrah's life choices at this point. I'm starting to wonder how MTV is trying to spin Amber... if you keep up with the news, you know how bad her life gets, so are they trying to foreshadow that it only gets worse? Or are they trying to make her look extra-bad? Or, heaven help us, are they actually censoring how awful the girl is?? The bulk of Catelynn's episodes don't revolve around parenting, and I think that ended up working against the show at some point a season ago or so. She was a great asset to the spin-off early on, but because her experiences as a teenage birth mother are so random now, we mainly follow other aspects of her life, and that doesn't really fit with what the show is about, in my opinion. The series will wrap up in another week, so if you had any desires to discuss the show, now's the time!
Catelynn: Catelynn and Tyler go to the parent support group but realize they need social work degrees, not human services degrees and panic about college. [she finally got her braces off! and why take off an entire semester? you know they need the gen-ed stuff!] Tyler's mom is concerned and arranges for them to talk to a counselor about their futures. The kids plan to start again in January.
Teen Mom "For the Best" (S04E11): It's October-November for Amber and late October for Maci.
Catelynn: Tyler's mom is thinking about seeking counseling about Carly, whom she's starting to miss. Catelynn's mom kinda wants the same, so an adoption counselor meets with the four of them to talk about the situation.
Maci: Bentley is turning three and because Ryan has him for his real birthday, Maci and Kyle plan to celebrate a day early. Kyle thinks that they should try to have a joint event, and Maci thinks that she should allow Bentley to make that decision. [really, she should have kept it all separated.] Bentley invites Ryan's parents (who plan to attend), and leaves a voicemail for Ryan. When Ryan calls back, he tells Bentley that he will "see what he can do" but tells Maci he won't be there. [did he not want to be the one to disappoint his own son or what?] Because Ryan isn't coming, his parents skip the party, too. [poor Bentley.] When Ryan picks up Bentley afterward, Ryan tells Maci that she should have just told Bentley that they're having separate parties, and after he insults her, she walks away.
Teen Mom "Wake Up" (S04E12): It's mid-November for Amber.
Amber: She's started dating a guy from outpatient therapy. Leah turns three years old, and though they're having a joint party the next week, Gary goes ahead and celebrates on Leah's birthday. [I see nothing wrong with that, personally.] Gary says that Amber changed things when she started dating this new guy, but she claims that that has nothing to do with Leah's birthday. [she's just "Plain Old Amber" in his phone??] Amber calls Gary the day before their court date to ask if she can see Leah for a bit and Gary tells her no, because it's not a good day and she's a wh0re. [haha!] She screams at him that she'll fight for custody. [this crazy woman raises MY blood pressure!] Gary calls Amber the morning of the court date to explain the paperwork, apologizes for what he said the previous day, and says that Amber can have Leah the next day. [what kind of no-contact order allows them to hold hands?] Amber signs everything, despite her family's protests. The ruling won't go into effect for 30 days, so Amber celebrates Leah's birthday just the two of them by baking cupcakes.
Catelynn: They're starting classes in a couple of weeks. [...so did they decide to go for fall after all or is it actually late December now??] They watch Catelynn's brother, Nick, for a few days so that April can have some time to herself. Tyler has issues with cursing in front of Nick, especially after the dog "goes" in the house. [this is why I don't do dogs!] Tyler's temper bothers Catelynn, but he's also realizing that it's getting worse. He decides to see a counselor, apologizes to the dogs, and tells the counselor that he's afraid his father will never love him. [sadly, that could be true.] Tyler writes his dad a letter, saying that he can't handle the junk Butch puts him through. Tyler and Catelynn question whether adoption was the right choice, but realize they did the right thing.
Maci: It's Bentley's birthday. [that kid is the CUTEST!] Maci is doing well in school. [well, "well" by her adviser's standards, apparently. An 80% ain't great if you ask me.] Ryan sees a lawyer about getting 50/50 custody and stopping Maci from being able to live with Kyle. ["if not more fit" ?? why would Ryan be a better parent than Maci??] Ryan asks Maci for Bentley's birth certificate, and she tells him it's at her mother's house, or he can get a copy from the health department. She's in denial that he'd get anywhere in a custody battle, but he's hoping to switch to each of them getting a week at a time with their son. Dalis and Ryan's parents talk to him about letting Maci live with Kyle - it's not a bad situation. Maci tells her mom about the situation and asks for Bentley's birth certificate to give to Ryan.
Maci: Bentley is riding a bike, is potty-trained, and no longer uses a pacifier. That's really all that comes out there, so stay tuned for the next part!
Amber: She sends a statement about how she's missing because she has a probation violation.

Top general rejects Democrats' fantasy of military ousting Trump from White House
29.08.2020 WORLD 73 Views
"I believe deeply in the principle of an apolitical US military," Milley said in a letter to Representatives Elissa Slotkin (D-Michigan) and Mikie Sherrill (D-New Jersey). The two members of Congress did not release the letter, but quoted excerpts from it in a statement on Friday.
"In the event of a dispute over some aspect of the elections, by law US courts and the US Congress are required to resolve any disputes, not the US military," Milley reportedly added. "We will not turn our backs on the Constitution of the United States."
At first blush, this seems to dash the hopes expressed by some prominent Democrats in recent weeks that the military would help them remove President Donald Trump from the White House – assuming he loses the election but refuses to concede.
Former Vice President Al Gore was the latest to bring up the scenario, in a Reuters interview this week. Two retired Army lieutenant-colonels, John Nagl and Paul Yingling, attracted significant media attention earlier this month, when they sent Milley an open letter via the outlet Defense One outright demanding that the military oust Trump by force.
"If Donald Trump refuses to leave office at the expiration of his constitutional term, the United States military must remove him by force, and you must give that order," Nagl and Yingling wrote.
The scenario was first voiced by the Democrats' presidential nominee Joe Biden, who brought it up during an interview in early June. He was "absolutely convinced they will escort him from the White House with great dispatch," he told the Daily Show host Trevor Noah, referring to the military.
Biden's comments came as a number of former military officials spoke out against Trump – including former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and former JCS Chairman Mike Mullen. Shortly before Biden's interview, Milley himself had apologized for his presence at Trump's side after the incident at Lafayette Park, just north of the White House. The media coverage of the current and former military officials' statements made it seem as if they were inclined to support the Democrats.
The Pentagon has already rejected Nagl and Yingling's calls, however, with chief spokesman Jonathan Hoffman calling their argument something "born of unserious thought reflecting a fundamental lack of appreciation for the history of our democracy and the civilian-military relationship established under our Constitution" at a press conference earlier this month.
Miley's comments may seem like the final nail in the coffin of the issue. However, Slotkin and Sherrill were careful to note in their statement that Congress has the authority to certify the election, and that the military is required to "obey orders from the congressionally-certified President."
This sounds as if some Democrats may be considering the possibility of refusing to certify the election in case Trump wins. Last month, when Trump floated the idea of delaying the election due to the Covid-19 pandemic, some Democrats argued that would just automatically make House Speaker Nancy Pelosi the lawful president once his term expires.

i always love the hustle and bustle of london. it's such a vibrant city.
London is my favourite city. I used to visit regularly on business. Over the years I walked almost the whole city. Cool shot of Oxford Circus..
Fantastic, I was there just yesterday taking photos :] Did you visit the Photographers Gallery whilst you were in the area?

In Resisting Rebellion, Anthony James Joes explores insurgencies ranging across five continents and spanning more than two centuries. Analyzing examples from North and South America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, he identifies recurrent patterns and offers useful lessons for future policymakers. Insurgencies arise from many sources of discontent, including foreign occupation, fraudulent elections, and religious persecution, but they also stem from ethnic hostilities, the aspirations of would-be elites, and traditions of political violence. Because insurgency is as much a political phenomenon as a military one, effective counterinsurgency requires a thorough understanding of the insurgents' motives and sources of support. Clear political aims must guide military action if a counterinsurgency is to be successful and prepare a lasting reconciliation within a deeply fragmented society. The most successful counterinsurgency campaign undertaken by the United States was the one against Philippine insurgents following the Spanish-American War. But even more instructive than successful counterinsurgencies are the persistent patterns of errors revealed by Joes's comparative study. Instances include the indiscriminate destructiveness displayed by the Japanese in China and the Soviets in Afghanistan, and the torture of suspected Muslim terrorists by members of the French Army in Algeria. Joes's comprehensive twofold approach to counterinsurgency is easily applied to the U.S. The first element, developing the strategic basis for victory, emphasizes creating a peaceful path to the redress of legitimate grievances, committing sufficient troops to the counterinsurgent operation, and isolating the conflict area from outside aid. The second element aims at marginalizing the insurgents and includes fair conduct toward civilians and prisoners, systematic intelligence gathering, depriving insurgents of weapons and food, separating insurgent leaders from their followers, and offering amnesty to all but the most incorrigible. Providing valuable insights into a world of conflict, Resisting Rebellion is a thorough and readable exploration of successes and failures in counterinsurgency's long history and a strategy for the future.
Auch im 21. Jahrhundert wird die Welt von lang anhaltenden Bürgerkriegen erschüttert - das aktuellste Beispiel ist der nicht enden wollende Bürgerkrieg in Syrien. Bis zu Beginn der 1990er Jahre wurden diese innerstaatlichen Kriege zumeist als politisch motivierte Gewaltkonflikte oder Stellvertreterkriege angesehen. Danach setzen sich mit Ende des Kalten Krieges und unter dem Eindruck des Genozids in Ruanda sowie des Bosnienkrieges neue Erklärungsansätze durch, die die flächendeckende Gewalt primär auf Habgiermotive oder traditionelle ethnische Feindschaften zurückführen. Gegen diese schablonenhaften Deutungsmuster entfaltet Stefan Deißler eine Perspektive, die der vielschichtigen Komplexität des Phänomens Bürgerkrieg näher kommt. Ohne die tragende Rolle der ethnischen, ökonomischen oder politischen sozialen Gruppen zu vernachlässigen, rückt der Autor die kriegführenden Organisationen selbst in den Fokus und unterzieht die Beziehungen zwischen Kombattanten und Zivilisten einer kritischen Betrachtung. Unter Rekurs auf den seit über 50 Jahren währenden Konflikt in Kolumbien und weitere Beispiele weist er nach, dass die selbst ernannten Repräsentanten unterschiedlicher Bevölkerungsgruppen oftmals mit brutaler Gewalt die Kooperation der "Repräsentierten" erzwingen und dass die Bedürfnisse und Interessen der Zivilbevölkerung während der Dauer derartiger Konflikte weitgehend unberücksichtigt bleiben. Zugleich wird ersichtlich, welcher fatalen Logik das Kriegsgeschehen in vielen Fällen folgt: Zahlreiche innerstaatliche Kriege werden durch immanente Eigendynamiken angetrieben. Die Kriegsparteien nötigen sich wechselseitig zur Fortsetzung des Konflikts oder schaffen kollektiv einen strukturellen Zwang zur kontinuierlichen Wiederholung der Kriegshandlungen. Diese Dynamik zu durchbrechen, ist eine der großen Herausforderungen für die gegenwärtigen Friedensinitiativen.
RAND studied 89 modern insurgency cases to test conventional understanding about how insurgencies end. Findings relevant to policymakers and analysts include that modern insurgencies last about ten years; withdrawal of state support cripples insurgencies; civil defense forces are useful for both sides; pseudodemocracies fare poorly against insurgents; and governments win more often in the long run.

22 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, 2 and said to them: "You have kept aall that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, band have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you. 3 You have not 1left your brethren these many days, up to this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the Lord your God. 4 And now the Lord your God has given crest to your brethren, as He promised them; now therefore, return and go to your tents and to the land of your possession, dwhich Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on the other side of the Jordan. 5 But etake 2careful heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, fto love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul." 6 So Joshua gblessed them and sent them away, and they went to their tents.
9 So the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to jthe country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they had obtained according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.

Location and Geography: The entire state of Florida is more or less a giant peninsula extending from the southeastern portion of the United States. It is known for its unique wildlife and its delicate but beautiful environment of wetlands and coastlines. It is perhaps the wettest of the states, being mostly surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, with much of its land area being swamps and marshes.
Counties and Regions: Florida has 67 counties, but is best known for its coasts and wetlands. Because Florida is mostly a peninsula, there are many distinct coastal areas, such as:
First Coast
Fun Coast
Nature Coast
Suncoast
Some of the other recognizable regions of Florida are as follows:
South Florida Metro Area
Tampa Bay Metro Area
Florida Heartland
Florida Keys (islands)
North Central Florida

When did Florida achieve statehood?
Florida is the twenty-seventh state of the United States of America. It has a long history of foreign conquests and wars. The state had been occupied by the Spanish and the French forces since the sixteenth century, until the United States made it a part of its territory in 1821, with Andrew Jackson as the military governor. Florida was admitted to United States on March 3, 1845. In 1861, it joined the other southern states to form the Confederate States of America.

Florida is largely Protestant, with forty-eight percent people following the sect. There are other religious affiliations as well: Roman Catholics (26%), Baptists (9%), Methodists (6%), Pentecostals ( 3%), Jews (3%), Jehovah's Witnesses (1%), and Muslims (1%). Sixteen percent of the state population claims to be non-religious.
What is the economy of Florida like?
The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Florida in 2016 was $926 billion. Tourism is the most important industry, contributing $51 billion to the state GDP, as of 2015. A record 105 million tourists visited the state in 2015. Agriculture is the second-largest industry in Florida. Oranges, grapes, tangerines and other citrus fruits are a major part of the economy. Some other important crops are green beans, sweet corns, potatoes, sugar cane and strawberries. The annual economic impact of aviation-related activities in the state is around $144 billion. Mining is the third-largest industry of Florida. The largest deposits of potash in the United States are found in this state. The state is also a major player in the sales of power boats. In 2013, an estimated $1.96 billion worth of power boats were sold. Apart from this, Florida also has a thriving life sciences and financial services industry. It is also one of the seven US states that do not impose a personal income tax.
What are the symbols of the state of Florida?
State bird: The Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) was designated as the state bird by the Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 3 of the 1927 legislative session. It is also the state bird of Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas.

State animal: The Florida Panther (Felis concolor coryi) is the state animal chosen in 1982 by a vote of students. It has been the most endangered species since 1967 and on the state's endangered list since 1973.
What are the famous places in Florida?
Florida has many beautiful places which attract millions of tourists to the state every year. Jacksonville, Sanibel Island, Kennedy Space Center, Miami Beach, Port Canaveral, Cocoa Beach and many other beaches are world-famous. Miami Beach is the most popular hotspot in the United States with hundreds of clubs, restaurants and oceanfront hotels. Port Canaveral offers adventurous parasailing rides.
Major Cities: Florida has several large metropolitan areas, the largest being that of Miami, followed by the Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville metropolitan areas. Each of these metro areas has more than five hundred thousand people living within it (and the Miami area has a population approaching five million). The state capital, Tallahassee, is much smaller in comparison, with about two hundred thousand people living in or near it.
Population: Since the invention of air conditioning, the population of Florida has skyrocketed. It is a popular destination for retirees and immigrants, and today the majority of Florida's people were actually born elsewhere. Florida has more people living in it than any other state, except for California, Texas, and New York, with a population that is beginning to approach twenty one million people. Florida comprised a population of 20,271,272 in 2015, according to the United States Census Bureau. It is the fourth-most populated state in the United States.
Story Behind the Name: "Florida" means "flowery" in the Spanish language. According to records of the time, sixteenth-century Spanish explorer Ponce de León referred to the newly discovered peninsula as "La Florida" because he was celebrating the Easter season, and the spring flowers were in bloom.
History and Colonization: Florida was colonized by Europeans early on, being the first part of the present-day United States to be discovered by explorers (according to verified records). The Spanish
founded several colonies and missions there, but these faced great difficulty due to powerful native tribes and destructive weather. The British and the French founded competing colonies in the region, and Florida became something of a mixing pot for various ethnicities and cultures as the European settlers, the native tribes, and communities of escaped African-American slaves all began to interact. Even today, Florida is known for being a cultural blend of many different traditions.
The territory of Florida changed hands a few times before Spain signed it over to the United States in 1819 (it would not be admitted as a state until 1845). The nineteenth century in Florida was marked by conflict between American settlers and the native Seminole population, with many battles being fought between the two over the course of what would be known as the Seminole Wars. Florida was the site of one of the United State's most aggressive "Indian removal" campaigns, eventually resulting in the majority of the Seminoles being relocated in the West. Some were able to maintain their homes deep within the Everglades, but by the mid-nineteenth century, the majority of people living in Florida were white settlers and their African-descended slaves.
The Southern plantation culture was strong in Florida, and the state was one of the founders of the Confederate States of America at the start of the American Civil War. Even after the war, racial violence was common in Florida, and many people migrated away from the state (oppressive weather was also making it an undesirable place to live). There was a brief resurgence in prosperity during the 1920s, but Florida's population did not begin booming until the onset of World War II, when its low land prices attracted many new immigrants from other parts of the United States. Florida is now surprisingly well-populated for a marshy and hurricane-prone area, having the fourth-largest population in the country. The state emerged as a desirable tourist destination in the mid-twentieth century, now playing host to many world-famous amusement parks (most notably Disney World in the city of Orlando). The Florida Everglades, a huge wetland in the southern part of the state, is also one of America's most treasured natural areas, although it is quite vulnerable to environmental damage. Overall, Florida is a prosperous and unique state, home to a unique mix of human cultures and natural forces.

"The nucleotide sequence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome VII."
Tettelin H, Agostoni Carbone ML, Albermann K, Albers M, Arroyo J, Backes U, Barreiros T, Bertani I, Bjourson AJ, Bruckner M, Bruschi CV, Carignani G, Castagnoli L, Cerdan E, Clemente ML, Coblenz A, Coglievina M, Coissac E, Defoor E, Del Bino S, Delius H, Delneri D, de Wergifosse P, Dujon B, Kleine K, et al.
Published 1997-05-29 in Nature volume 387 .
The complete nucleotide sequence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome VII has 572 predicted open reading frames (ORFs), of which 341 are new. No correlation was found between G+C content and gene density along the chromosome, and their variations are random. Of the ORFs, 17% show high similarity to human proteins. Almost half of the ORFs could be classified in functional categories, and there is a slight increase in the number of transcription (7.0%) and translation (5.2%) factors when compared with the complete S. cerevisiae genome. Accurate verification procedures demonstrate that there are less than two errors per 10,000 base pairs in the published sequence.


Months ago, I decided that I wanted professional pictures of Nova done right after she was born. When I was around 5 months pregnant, I started looking for a photographer. My friend had some pictures done by Baby Bare Photography and I fell in love. It was a bit of a splurge for me, but I set aside my blogging money and paid for a fresh 48 and newborn session. For the fresh 48, she came to the hospital when Nova was just 2 days old and captured some candid photos there. Then we did the newborn session when she was 8 days old. Stacey, who is behind Baby Bare Photography is like a baby whisperer. Her studio is set up perfectly for babies from the temperature to the soothing sounds. If you are in the Salt Lake valley, I'd definitely recommend here. I'm only posting the Fresh 48 pictures, I'll post her newborns in a separate post. And this is the part where I post a ridiculous amount of pictures. :) ENJOY!
SO fun and SO sweet! Those are priceless and Nova is such a cute little girl. I've never had nice pictures done at the hospital! I'm glad you splurged cuz you'll never get those moments back again and they were captured perfectly.
Loved them all, but especially loved the 8th and 9th ones down - one of them had Marshall in it.

⇑ back to "Spiritual Warfare"
Michael Brown Says It's High Time for Radical Revolution in America
3:00PM EST 11/13/2020	 Shawn A. Akers
Dr. Michael Brown (Charisma News archives)
Dr. Michael Brown believes the time has come for major revolution in America.
No, the syndicated columnist and host of The Line of Fire podcast isn't suggesting the violent overthrow of the government, nor that we take up arms or move into political activism. It's a call to something far more extreme.
For Brown, revolution means a call to live out the gospel with all its radical claims, a call for the people of God to impact this generation with the prophetic message of repentance. It is a call to spark the most sweeping counterculture movement in our nation's history—to take back the moral ground that has been stolen from underneath our feet. It's a call to follow Jesus by life or death.
It is action Brown details in his new book, Revolution: A Call to Holy War.
"So, revolution speaks that radical, dramatic sweeping change. Revolution speaks of out with the old and in within the new," Brown told Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of Greenelines on the Charisma Podcast Network. "Revolution speaks of overthrowing the status quo. And when you think of the ministry of Jesus, you realize in many ways, he came to the earth to launch God's revolution; he preached on the kingdom of God.
"He spoke of God's kingdom coming," Brown said. "He told us to pray radical prayers like, 'Your kingdom come, Your will be done,' which means that the ousting of the earthly system in the world. The revolutionary thinks that life as it is, it's not worth living, but the causes are worth dying for.
"Jesus says, 'Leave everything and follow Me," Brown said. " 'If you find your life, you lose it. If you lose your life for My sake and the gospel, you find it.' Those are profound truths right there. And the Great Commission, in many ways, can be taken as a revolutionary commission. It's basically, 'let's go change the world together.'
"But the difference is that our revolution is not violent. It's not angry. It's not hateful. Our revolution is not moved by earthly, fleshly motivation. It doesn't shed blood; rather, our revolution is overcoming evil with good, overcoming hate with love. It's overcoming lies with truth. Once we understand ourselves as part of a revolutionary movement, it kind of demolishes the church-as-usual, Sunday-morning and spectator-Christianity-type mentality."

Q: Android BLE characteristic read/Write failed in Lollipop but worked in Kitkat As per title i am able to do read/write data successfully in below lollipop but in lollipop many times i am getting read/write fails.
this is how i am doing read/write data:
boolean isRead= getmBluetoothGatt().readCharacteristic(characteristic);

in lollipop devices i am getting isRead as false many times but it works perfectly on non lollipop os.
Does any one has faced such problem ? Answer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

A: One of the reasons could be some of the  API calls defined in Android Kitkat (APIlevel 19)  have been deprecated in Lollipop versions(API level 22) with updated and additional features.You can go through the developer portal
https://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-5.0.html#Wireless to know more.

A: I have two bluetooth devices that have problems on android Lollipop but both works fine on Kitkat. The two devices on Lollipop has different issues. The first device does not respond to device discovery after the the bluetooth gatt is connected and so the read characteristic won't work. The second device automatically disconnects from gatt server after it is connected to gatt and so it won't respond to device discovery and read characteristic as well. I was able to solve the issue on the first device by repeating device discovery with 2 seconds delay interval. But I have no chance to fix the problem on the second bluetooth device.
I am using Nexus 9.


The editing process for the images I took this day was touch and go. I wasn't sure if this photo was any good. I wasn't sure what I would ever do with it (I have a number of images sitting on hard drives like that) but a few things made me decide to publish this.
First, I was feeling very inspired by some of Lars Van De Goor's beautiful forest images. The quality of the light and his edits are gorgeous.

Q: Conversion of JavaScript bolleans I am trying to decompress a simple JavaScript code. But I am unable to do it properly.
Compressed Code:
r.match("example.com") && (r.match("=") ? (parts = r.split("="), r = parts[1] && "" != parts[1].trim() ? parts[0] + "=w100-h100" : r) : r += "=w120-h120");

My Code:
if (r.match("example.com")) {
    if (r.match("=")) {
        parts = r.split("=")
        r = parts[1]
        if ("" != parts[1].trim()) {
            parts[0] + "=w100-h100-p-k-no-nu"
        } else {
            r
        }
    } else {
        r += "=w120-h120-p-k-no-nu"
    }
}

I am using this tool: https://www.toptal.com/developers/javascript-minifier

Cypriot FM to visit Israel in a hurry
Christodoulides readies 'touch and go' flight to Israel as West Bank annexation plans draw near
Republic of Cyprus foreign minister readies 'touch and go' flight to Israel as West Bank annexation plans draw near
Cypriot Foreign Minister Nicos Christodoulides will pay a last minute visit to Israel on Tuesday, days after President Nicos Anastasiades called off his trip citing coronavirus concerns and just before debate in the neighbouring country is expected to peak over annexation plans in West Bank.
According to the Cyprus News Agency, Christodoulides is set to fly to Tel Aviv on Tuesday, where he will meet his Israeli counterpart Gabi Ashkenazi. The two men are scheduled to hold a brief discussion at Ben Gurion airport, with the Cypriot foreign minister set to return to the island after the "touch and go" trip.
Anastasiades, who was due to visit Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, called off the visit last week citing coronavirus concerns. The two leaders had agreed to push back their meeting after Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis had returned from Israel a day earlier.
Debate over annexation of parts in West Bank
Mitsotakis, who held talks with Netanyahu on a wide range of topics including energy and tourism, did not travel to Ramallah, the headquarters of the Palestinian Authority, but later had a phone conversation with his Palestinian counterpart Mohammad Shtayyeh.
The diplomatic visits and talks take place as annexation chatter is rising in the background, with the Israeli government pushing for the country's laws to apply in parts of the West Bank next month.
The Greek premier reiterated Athens' position on a two state solution according to reports, while prior to the visit Israeli media outlet Haaretz speculated that Netanyahu would seek the Greek premier's help to soften European reaction to annexation plans.
But annexation plans, which have been the focus of fierce debate within Israel, have also been criticized by the European Union, which maintains a position in line with Greece and the government of the Republic of Cyprus in favour of supporting a negotiated two-state solution. The Palestinian Authority also has rejected the plan.
Netanyahu speaks of "immediate existential threat"
According to the Times of Israel, Netanyahu sent a memo to Knesset members from his Likud party on Sunday, saying evacuations of settlements in the West Bank would pose an "immediate existential threat" to Isreal.
The memo, which was revealed by The Wall Street Journal, reportedly also stated that relinquishing territories where there are currently Jewish settlements would constitute a "historic injustice."
Israel asks friends to soften EU criticism
Netanyahu has spoken on annexing parts of the West Bank as a measure for peace, with Israel reportedly counting on a number of "friendly countries" to soften the language in any EU resolution against annexation.
Any EU sanctions would require agreement of all 27 member states.
Josep Borrell, the EU High Commissioner for Foreign Affairs, spoke on the issue during a speech at the European Parliament last week, warning that any unilateral action by Israel annexing Palestinian territory would "inevitably have significant consequences for the close relationship we currently enjoy with Israel."
I will not prejudge the specific impact of a possible annexation, but let me underline that the EU has its own obligations and responsibility under international and EU law," Borrell said.
White House moments before final decision
President Donald Trump has expressed support over a gradual annexation of parts of the West Bank. But the United Sates government won't make an official decision until this week, when a crucial meeting is set to take place at the White House.
US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, one of Trump's former lawyers, is also expected to attend the meeting according to media sources. Friedman has previously challenged the notion that Israeli settlements had to be viewed as illegal activities or against peace.

This documentary tells a story that we didn't know — how an "engineering screw up of epic proportions" diverted the Colorado River into a desert basin that was "one of the lowest, hottest places on Earth." It took two years to stem the waterflow from the river, and the Salton Sea was born.
Real estate developers sprung into action and sold "waterfront" lots, dredged canals, showed pictures of water-skiing families and people having fun. Take a look!
Amazing story — and definitely worth the six minutes it takes to watch.

Thursday 13th March, 5.30-7.30, Room 736, IOE, 20 Bedford Way, London
Are justice, respect and avoiding harm universal concepts, or are they simply local ideas that vary in time and place? How can critical realist concepts of being and knowing, and of the four planes of social being, inform research ethics and how they are applied? How do ethics in natural science and in social science research overlap or differ?

CFP: AAA Panel on Youth and Social Change
Dear ACYIG colleagues,
We are organizing a panel for this year's AAA meeting in December in Washington, DC. A tentative title is "Unsettling the Trope of Change: Negotiations with 'Tradition' among Contemporary Youth." Papers on this panel will draw on research with youth (broadly defined) to unsettle the common dichotomy between change and tradition.
Here we provide a sense of our motivation for this panel, but please excuse the unfinished nature of this description — we thought it would be better to not delay any longer in soliciting interest among ACYIG members.
In our research (Bonnie's in India, Mindy's in Mexico and the US), we both work with youth and teens who are generally the first generation in their families to attend school and to plan for (or are currently in) higher education. They have grown up with the goal of producing very different adult identities within society than those of their parents. However, we continue to see unexpected continuitieswith "traditional culture"that do not fit with a Euro-American model of individualization in Late Modernity. We see them often prioritize their family roles and maintain a strong sense of familism, despite simultaneously aiming for such modern economic identities that in the West link to the loss of familism.
While we tend to situate our own research within a context of social change, we realize that we need to unsettle this anthropological trope to enable a more nuanced understanding of growing up, in order to theorize how young people embrace these seemingly conflicting local and global ideals for personhood.
Please let us know as soon as possible if you are interested in joining our panel (email: [email protected]). We will need abstracts by the end of March, but need to hear from you soon if you are thinking about submitting with us so that we can plan accordingly.

I-CYS Postdoctoral Fellowship
The Institute for Child & Youth Studies (I-CYS) at the University of Lethbridge seeks outstanding candidates with expertise in Child and Youth Studies to apply for a postdoctoral fellowship.
The fellowship is worth $40,000 a year, and is tenable for one year, starting in September 2014. The successful applicant will be based at the Institute for Child and Youth Studies at the University of Lethbridge.
The goals of I-CYS, like Child and Youth Studies more generally, are multidisciplinary. We therefore seek a scholar whose abilities and interests can cross the boundaries of traditional academic fields. I-CYS has a core membership of scholars with expertise in Anthropology, History, Education, Psychology, Neuroscience, and Literary Studies, and we especially welcome applications that engage with these research areas. It is expected that the successful applicant will be co-supervised by Dr. Kristine Alexander (Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Child and Youth Studies) and another member of the I-CYS core directorate according to the successful applicant's area of study. Please see the I-CYS website for information on potential supervisors.
The fellowship is intended to support original scholarship in Child and Youth Studies. The successful candidate will also support the research programs of I-CYS and the Canada Research Chair in Child and Youth Studies. In addition to pursuing his or her own research, the Child and Youth Studies Fellow is expected to pursue community building and knowledge mobilization by organizing a workshop (the results of which should become a publication) and playing an active role in the Institute for Child and Youth Studies. Possibilities exist for involvement in teaching. The candidate is expected to reside in Lethbridge during the tenure of the award.
Candidates should have completed their PhD within the past five years (2008-present). They should have a proven record of scholarly achievement and a planned research program that expands on their doctoral work or develops new research.
Applications should include a CV, brief research proposal (under 1,000 words), three letters of reference, and one example of your written work. Please submit applications electronically to [email protected].
For more information on I-CYS, please visit our website or like us on Facebook.
The fellow will receive: a research stipend of $2,000, office space, full access to University of Lethbridge facilities, and other research support as determined by need. Most importantly, the fellow will have the opportunity to engage with a dynamic group of faculty and students whose research examines what children and youth mean as social, demographic, artistic, legal, and existential categories.
Review of applications will begin April 30, 2014 and will continue until the position is filled. The expected start date is September 2014.
New research scholarship opportunity for EU graduates in children rights

Key-length
The key length is an important parameter of symmetrical or asymmetric encryption processes. It provides information on how many different key values a key can accept in a specific protocol. The key length is typically specified as a logarithm in form of bits. So e.g. 3 bit key length (2 x 2 x 2 = 8) will accept eight different keys. The longer the key, the more secure data can be viewed with it. The key length is an encryption security standard and varies by the protocol used and the algorithm.
Key security
Since the only way to "crack" a key is usually a so-called brute-force attack, attempting every possible option, the key length specifies the processing power and computing time. However, it's impossible to clearly determine the key length required for a protocol to be sufficiently secure. On one hand, computers are becoming more and more powerful and can "crack" a specific key length in a short amount of time, on the other hand there is no guarantee a certain encryption will not be bypassed or eliminated by a new arithmetic method. A key with a specific length considered secure just a few years ago can now be decoded by supercomputers within an acceptable amount of time.
Minimum key length
At this time the assumption is that a key for a symmetric encryption method should be at least 100 bit to be considered adequately secure. Asymmetric keys, as for example used in many public key methods, require longer keys for their security to be equivalent to symmetrical processes. 40 or 64 bit keys are now considered inadequate and unsecure.
Long keys do negatively impact the performance of applications based on the processing power required from the device for encryption and decryption. So depending on a device's processing power it may take considerably longer to encrypt a message with a long key and to decrypt the message on the other end.
