The PAC group End Citizens United wants to eliminate a Supreme Court decision that gave rise to Super PACs. In 2010 the Supreme Court stated that it was not unconstitutional for a company to give money to political causes since this action was protected under the Constitution's Free Speech clause.
End Citizens United doesn't agree with this decision. End Citizens United see this type of freedom to be a very disturbing thing in the world of politics because it allows corporations to fund an unlimited amount of money without disclosing where the money is coming from.
This type of action is known as dark money contributions and dark money is simply donations that given through nonprofit organizations for social welfare and trade groups on actblue.com. Money from this type of source can be funded by corporations, individuals and unions. Once again, these funds do not have be disclosed and anyone can give as much as they desire without having to be identified.
End Citizens United is all about campaign finance reform. They want to ensure that campaign contributions are given in a fair and equitable manner. This organization on OpenSecrets.org wants to level the world of political campaigning to make it more balanced. They do not want just anyone giving money to a political candidate. This will open up too many problems and issues in the world of politics.
One of the biggest fears of End Citizens United is that political candidates will be able to receive funding from various resources that might not be legal. They also fear money being given to candidates through unethical or immoral means.
While there is no real way to guarantee that this will not happen; End Citizens United wants to eliminate the secrecy that Super PACs endorses. This is the first PAC of its kind since it focuses on campaign reform on Facebook. No other PAC has this type of agenda.
Keep in mind that End Citizens United does more than just try to change campaign finance laws they also back certain Democratic candidates for office. They have garnered hundreds of thousands of signatures to try and make these significant changes.

Remember the old advertisement for a sugary soda, "The pause that refreshes"?
Rather we should let this natural rhythm of our calendar remind us to cultivate gratitude and thanksgiving as an intimate part of our waking life. Gratitude and thanksgiving indeed are the energy that drives a Christian life.
Energy seems to be a bit cyclical, like ocean waves on the beach that come and go.
It's not the pause. It's returning to the source (God) to rejuvenate our energy.
We need these rhythms of the calendar to remind us of things. Ancient peoples knew this.
If we are slipping into today's culture of the world which is entitlement–"I deserve it"–it is time to let the rhythm of the seasons bring us back to God to refuel our gratitude energy supply.

Democratic Republic of Congo President Joseph Kabila's siblings are said to hold Tanzanian nationality while seeking electoral positions, circumstances the ruling party is using to eliminate some opponents ahead of the December 23 general elections.
According to La Libre Afrique, President Kabila's twin sister Jaynet and their younger brother Zoe have previously confirmed their Tanzanian nationality.
The publication states that President Kabila's siblings have never relingusihed their nationality.
President Kabila's ruling coalition, using government machinery, is eliminating candidates it alleges had nationality with other countries.
Both Jaynet and Zoe are seeking legislative office in the Democratic Republic of Congo as a way of maintaining a hold on power after the departure of President Kabila who is not eligible for re-election, at least this this year.
Critics accuse President Kabila of appointing a stooge as his party successor and hopefully the next president of Congo.
President Kabila's government is allegedly to be eliminating all potential opponents. And the candidature of Jaynet and Zoe is part of the ploy to keep the Kabila hold on power.
"Their mother has made statements that her children lived with aliases while living in Tanzania. An explanation could not be more convincing," the publication reports.
It alleges that Jaynet and Zoe Kabila were named Jaynet Ursula Kyungu and Zoe Francis Mtwale respectively.
Coincidentally the names that accompanied the identity of Kabila's siblings were also discovered to be directors in a company called Sycamore Investments founded July 18, 2001.
The company is said to have links to the Presidency with the two identities sharing the President's siblings' exact birthdays and both are identified as Tanzanians.
It is hoped that the DRC Attorney General will use the same effort shown so far in disposing off Jean Pierre Bemba's or other barred candidates.
Last week, a few hours before the announcement of the six applications invalidated by Ceni, several parties of the opposition had warned about the development of a strategy by the Kabilist power to "eliminate Bemba and Tshisekedi" of the race to the presidency.
Been destroyed by the plundering of all wealth and killing it is indigenous I don't think that will be any successful move for this.

The Governance Award is a new category created to recognise NGOs who are practising and promoting good governance within their organisation.
In recent years, public trust in the voluntary sector has been damaged following widely publicised cases of bad governance. Good governance is needed now more than ever to enable NGOs to continue to deliver their important work around the world.
NGOs need to be able to demonstrate that they provide good value for money and are striving to improve their practice and performance, through being more open and accountable about how funds are spent, and with what result. Good governance that permeates all levels of the organisation is absolutely key to a fundamental shift in how NGOs manage and report on their financial flows and their impact.
The winner of the Governance Award was announced at the awards ceremony on 26 February.
One aspect of ActionAid UK's new strategy was a decision to implement feminist leadership principles across the organisation.
This programme's "consortium" comprises senior representatives from the UK transport industry, functioning as a small management board and holding Transaid to account to ensure the most impactful outcomes.
This project established various channels of two-way communication to enable beneficiaries to access World Vision and NGO partners to share their comments, concerns and complaints.

The Chicago Plan Commission approved two residential towers Thursday, including a building that sets a new height standard in Fulton Market.
Members approved a 43-story tower for 906 W. Randolph St., a project backed by Tucker Development and Related Midwest. Under discussion for at least two years, the project is going forward because the developers have agreed to provide affordable housing on the site, said Ald. Walter Burnett Jr. (27th), who represents the area.
The building will provide 300 units. Burnett said he won a commitment that 60 units will be offered at prices deemed affordable for those with lower incomes under a city program.
Data from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat indicate the building will be the tallest in Chicago west of Halsted Street. The design is by New York's Morris Adjmi Architects.
The $215 million project also calls for developers to pay $4.87 million to the city's Neighborhood Opportunity Fund, which helps commercial districts in struggling areas.
Planners also approved a 12-story residential tower at 1200 N. State St. With 91 units, the $72 million project is backed by the firm Newcastle Ltd.
The commission's endorsements send the projects to the City Council for final action.

La lactase est une enzyme (de type disaccharidase) présente chez les mammifères et certaines bactéries. Sa fonction principale est de permettre la dissociation du lactose en glucose et galactose, ce qui autorise la digestion du lait.

La lactase a pour nom scientifique complet lactase-phlorizine hydrolase et fait partie de la famille des β-galactosidases. Elle est constituée de 1927 acides aminés et son poids est de 218603 Da. Sa température optimum est de 37 °C et son pH optimum est de 6,5 (ces données peuvent varier selon les types de lactase).

Chez l'humain, elle est sécrétée uniquement par les entérocytes de l'intestin grêle, au niveau des microvillosités de leur bordure en brosse, ce qui est lié au rôle digestif de l'intestin grêle.

Fonctionnement
La lactase est une protéine codée par le gène LCT qui est situé sur le chromosome 2 chez l'humain. Trois facteurs de transcription sont nécessaires pour activer la séquence promoteur du gène : GATA, HNF-1 alpha et Cdx-2. Sans ces protéines, le gène ne pourra pas être transcrit.

La lactase a deux fonctions principales :
 Elle permet d'hydrolyser le lactose, un sucre retrouvé principalement dans les produits laitiers, en glucose et en galactose, des oses qui pourront ensuite être absorbés par l'organisme.
 L'autre rôle est une activité phlorizine hydrolase qui consiste à hydrolyser en phlorétine et en glucose la phlorizine, un composé présent dans l'écorce de certains arbres fruitiers qui est utilisé dans le traitement du diabète et de l'hyperglycémie.

Durant les premières semaines de vie, l'activité de la lactase est maximale, puis elle diminue au cours de l'enfance et de l'adolescence pour atteindre un taux résiduel d'environ 5 à 10 % à l'âge adulte.

Apparition chez l'humain
L'étude des ADN anciens a montré que la mutation permettant de digérer le lait chez les humains n'est pas arrivée en Europe, comme on aurait pu le supposer, avec les premiers agriculteurs et n'est devenue courante qu'à l'âge du bronze, plusieurs millénaires après la domestication du bétail et le début de la production laitière. Avant  AP, il n'y a que quelques occurrences de l'allèle et il n'est pas impossible que ces occurrences soient des erreurs de génotypage ou de datation. En 2018, le plus ancien individu « fiable » présentant une persistance de la lactase à l'âge adulte était un individu énéolithique trouvé sur le territoire de l'Ukraine actuelle daté de  AP. Pour des études sur des populations plus larges, on le trouve chez des fermiers du sud-ouest de l'Europe il y a  de  à  ans, et, à une fréquence plus basse, chez des chasseurs-cueilleurs de la culture de la céramique perforée, il y a  à  ans.

En Europe centrale, la première apparition de l'allèle dans l'ensemble des données étudiées (2015) se trouve dans un échantillon de la culture campaniforme, datant de 2450 à 2140 av. J.C..

À  AP, l'allèle est présent sur une bande s'étendant de l'Irlande à l'Asie centrale à environ 50 degrés de latitude. Plusieurs hypothèses tentent d'expliquer son apparition dans des lieux séparés, sous l'effet d'une pression de sélection évolutive due à la consommation de lait, à laquelle il est très intiment corrélée ; des simulations en attribuent la dissémination à la  propagation des populations d'ascendance steppique d'Europe centrale.

Une étude publiée en 2023 montre que des augmentations de la stature et de la masse corporelle sont observées dans les régions présentant des preuves de sélection pour la persistance de la lactase, notamment en Europe centrale et du Nord, ce qui appuie l'« hypothèse de croissance de la lactase ».

Persistance de la lactase et hypothèse de croissance de la lactase
Les nourrissons humains produisent généralement la lactase pour permettre la digestion du lactose alimentaire dans le lait maternel, mais perdent cette capacité pendant la petite enfance. Il existe une variété de polymorphismes mononucléotidiques dans le gène favorisant la persistance de la lactase qui démontrent une évolution convergente indépendante dans la capacité à digérer le lactose parmi certaines populations d'Europe et d'Afrique de l'Est, et il y a également eu une sélection pour la persistance de la lactase dans d'autres régions, dans chaque cas, indiquant une réponse adaptative aux changements culturels vers l'industrie laitière.

Le lait est une source de facteur de croissance I analogue à l'insuline (IGF-1) mais l'IGF-1 est dégradé lors de la production de fromage ou de yaourt. Il a été proposé que la persistance de la lactase et la consommation de lait pendant le développement de l'enfance et à l'âge adulte élèvent les concentrations circulantes d'IGF-1, qui favorisent la croissance du squelette. Ainsi, il existe des preuves que des augmentations de stature dans le sud de la Suède se sont produites au début de l'âge du bronze en raison d'une consolidation d'une économie agro-pastorale, plutôt que du début de l'agriculture.

L'hypothèse de croissance de la lactase (LGH) suggère que la persistance de la lactase et la capacité à digérer les produits laitiers primaires et le lactose ont augmenté l'énergie alimentaire disponible, modifié la biologie énergétique de la croissance humaine et alimenté les différences régionales de la taille du corps chez l'homme.

Pathologies
La lactase est codée par un seul locus situé sur le chromosome 2. Cette enzyme s'exprime exclusivement au niveau des entérocytes de l'intestin grêle des mammifères et plus faiblement au niveau du côlon au cours du développement fœtal. Les jeunes mammifères, et notamment l'enfant, peuvent digérer le lactose du lait, mais cette capacité disparait après le sevrage chez la majorité de la population mondiale qui voit la transcription de son ADN codant la lactase diminuer. La sélection naturelle a cependant conservé cette capacité chez les peuples d'éleveurs qui ont domestiqué des mammifères et consommé du lait il y a 5 à , des mutations génétiques ayant eu lieu à cette période sur le promoteur régulant le gène codant la lactase et s'étant propagées favorablement dans certaines régions où la consommation de lait s'est répandue.

Ce déficit en lactase chez les adultes peut être associé à plusieurs pathologies :

 La plus fréquente est l'hypolactasie, qui touche près de 75 % de la population mondiale. Elle est définie par un déficit partiel en lactase d'origine génétique causé par la répression de la synthèse de lactase. Par contre, à l'âge adulte, l'hypolactasie doit être considérée comme un phénomène normal puisque c'est plutôt la persistance d'une forte activité lactasique qui est anormale. En effet, cette dernière est causée par 2 mutations autosomiques dominantes sur le promoteur qui lèvent la répression normale de la synthèse. Chez certaines personnes, l'hypolactasie peut entraîner une intolérance au lactose tandis que chez d'autres, elle n'entraînera aucun effet indésirable.
 L'alactasie congénitale est une pathologie définie par l'incapacité de l'organisme à synthétiser la lactase. Cette affection très rare est causée par un mécanisme autosomique récessif et elle entraînera une intolérance au lactose chez les individus qui en sont atteints.
 D'autres affections peuvent entraîner un déficit temporaire en lactase qui causera également une intolérance au lactose. En effet, toutes pathologies causant des lésions de la muqueuse intestinale, qu'elles soient profondes ou superficielles, peuvent causer un arrêt de synthèse de lactase. Les maladies inflammatoires de l'intestin et les gastro-entérites graves (surtout celles causées par l'action d'un rotavirus qui s'attaque directement à la muqueuse) peuvent donc causer un déficit temporaire en lactase qui sera rétabli lorsque les lésions seront guéries.

Diagnostic d'un déficit en lactase

Trois tests peuvent être utilisés pour diagnostiquer une pathologie reliée à une déficience en lactase:

 Premièrement, on peut faire une biopsie de l'intestin grêle qui permettra de mesurer l'activité enzymatique de la lactase. Puisque ce test est une technique invasive, il est moins utilisé malgré son excellente fiabilité.
 Deuxièmement, on peut procéder au test respiratoire de l'hydrogène expiré, qui consiste à évaluer la présence d'hydrogène dans l'air expiré par le patient avant et après l'ingestion de 10 grammes de lactose. Son principe repose sur le fait que le lactose non digéré dans l'intestin grêle se transforme en gaz, dont l'hydrogène, sous l'action des bactéries présentes dans le côlon. En passant par le sang, l'hydrogène va ensuite rejoindre les poumons, puis il sera exhalé. La présence d'une forte concentration d'hydrogène dans le souffle va donc signifier que la synthèse de lactase est déficiente puisque la majorité du lactose aura été digérée par les bactéries coliques.
 Troisièmement, on peut effectuer le test de tolérance au lactose. Pour ce faire, on mesure simplement le taux de glucose dans le sang après l'ingestion de lactose. Si la synthèse de lactase est déficiente, la glycémie ne s'élèvera pas puisque le lactose ne sera pas dégradé en glucose.

Production industrielle de lactase

Lorsqu'une personne présente une déficience en lactase, plusieurs moyens peuvent être utilisés pour diminuer les symptômes de l'intolérance au lactose. En effet, la lactase est produite industriellement par des levures (Kluyveromyces fragilis, Kluyveromyces lactis) et des champignons (Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus oryzae) qui la synthétisent lors de la fermentation. On peut donc ingérer la lactase sous forme de liquide ou de comprimé pour améliorer l'absorption du lactose. Certaines compagnies utilisent également la lactase produite industriellement pour fabriquer des produits laitiers sans lactose. Par ailleurs, dans certains yogourts, on retrouve des bactéries qui sécrètent la lactase (Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, certaines souches de Bifidobacterium). Ces bactéries, lorsqu'elles arrivent vivantes dans l'intestin grêle, permettent donc une meilleure digestion du lactose.

Aux États-Unis et dans d'autres pays du monde, on vend couramment des pilules de lactase (Lactaid, Lacteeze) destinées aux communautés noires et asiatiques pour leur permettre la consommation des produits laitiers.

Description: ""The first full length Worms movie by Ginger Innovations, formerly Ginger Productions (as in movie and trailer)."
Wiz's second movie and, in my... (show full description) opinion, the best one of the bunch. At 240 MB it's huge, but makes up for it with its length [21 minutes], variety [covers just about all the popular WormNet schemes] and high quality in the visual & audio departments. It's pretty minimalist as far as special effects go, but that's a good thing, right? At least you can pay close attention to the mad skills and hideous luck filmed. And rest assured, there's lots of that in there. From all corners of the Wormiverse.

Hi friends! I have to apologize because it's been awhile since a new blog post and I haven't been taking many new photos lately but honestly, I have been really enjoying summer!
We really don't get much of a summer here, it's usually only really hot for 3 months so I have been spending every minute of it outside with our little family going to the cottage or in the pool. Seriously, I've been in the pool every single day this week, even the two days that it was raining!
I really haven't felt like getting all glammed up, so this outfit was absolutely perfect! Throw on a cute body suit with my favourite new jeans, add some sunglasses and a hat and we're ready for the day!
I finally found the most perfect jeans! I love them so much I bought two of the exact same pair. I would have bought more but they only had the two lol! They're from Marshall's but I'll link some similar styles below.
What have you guys been up to this summer? Comment below! I hope you guys are enjoying the summer as much as we are!
Go check out my Instagram too, I've changed up my photo editing and would love some feedback :)!

Spoliation and Intent to Destroy Evidence
ForensicsVirginia 2011-10-15
Computer forensics involves the recovery and analysis of digital evidence. As such, a computer forensics expert frequently encounters cases involving the concealment or destruction of evidence. We previously discussed issues related to the destruction of evidence and spoliation and used as example the Virginia computer forensics case of Trigon v. U.S.
An important aspect in issues involving spoliation or destruction of evidence is whether the individual had the Intention To Destroy Evidence. Once a court concludes that a party was obliged to preserve the evidence, it must then consider whether the evidence was intentionally destroyed and the likely contents of that evidence. Reference to the intentional destruction of documents does not imply that bad faith is necessary for the imposition of sanctions for spoliation. In Vodusek, the Fourth Circuit upheld a spoliation inference on the basis that the agent of the plaintiff acted intentionally in his investigation, which resulted in the loss of the relevant evidence. The court noted that an adverse inference about a party's consciousness of the weakness of his case cannot be drawn merely from his negligent loss or destruction of evidence; the inference requires a showing that the party knew the evidence was relevant to some issue at trial and that his willful conduct resulted in its loss or destruction. Some quantum of blameworthiness is required before sanctions for spoliation may obtain.

The UN human rights chief has condemned a recent spate of "horrific witchcraft attacks" on people with albinism in Tanzania, including the murder of a young boy.
Navi Pillay says people with albinism need more protection
The UN human rights chief has condemned a recent spate of "horrific attacks" on people with albinism in Tanzania, including the murder of a young boy.
The government should act to stop the "vicious killings" and discrimination they faced, said Navi Pillay.
The mutilation and murder of people with albinism is often linked to witchcraft, the UN says.
Only five people have been convicted in Tanzania since 2000 for killing people with albinism, it adds.
Some 72 people have been killed in that time.
In a statement, Ms Pillay said four attacks on Tanzanians with albinism had been documented in just 16 days between the end of January and mid-February.
They included:
the murder of a seven-year-old boy, Lugolola Bunzari, on 31 January at Kanunge village in the Tabora region. His attackers slashed his forehead, right arm and left shoulder, and chopped off his left arm just above the elbow. The boy's grandfather, aged 95, was also killed in the attack as he tried to protect his grandson;
a seven-month-old baby, Makunga Baraka, narrowly escaped death on 5 February after armed men attacked his home in the Simiyu region. Villagers chased the attackers away and surrounded the house to protect him. The baby and his mother were taken to the police station the following morning and given temporary sanctuary;
a 39-year-old woman Maria Chambanenge was attacked on 11 February by five armed men, allegedly including her husband, in Mkowe village in the Rukwa region. They hacked off her left arm while she was sleeping with two of her four children. The five suspects were subsequently arrested and the victim's arm recovered - their trial is reportedly under way
a 10-year-old boy, Mwigulu Matonange, was attacked on his way home from school and his left arm chopped off above the elbow by two unidentified men in Msia village in Rukwa. Three men have been arrested in connection with the attack.
Some witchdoctors say that magic charms are more powerful if they contain body parts from people with albinism - this has led to a lucrative criminal trade in these body parts.

 -- Americans' sympathies lean heavily toward the Israelis over
the Palestinians, 64% vs. 12%. Americans' partiality for Israel has
consistently exceeded 60% since 2010; however, today's 64% ties the highest
Gallup has recorded in a quarter century, last seen in 1991 during the Gulf
War. At that time, slightly fewer than today, 7%, sympathized more with the
Palestinians.
The new data are from Gallup's 2013 World Affairs poll, conducted Feb. 7-10.
Consistent with prior years, Republicans are substantially more likely thanÂ
Democrats to favor the Israelis, 78% vs. 55%, with the preferences of
independents -- currently 63% -- more closely matching those of Democrats.
Support for Israel has increased among all three party groups since 2001,
but particularly among Republicans and independents. The percentage
sympathizing more with the Israelis has increased by 18 percentage points
among Republicans (from 60% to 78%) and by 21 points among independents
(from 42% to 63%). By comparison, Democrats' support has increased four
points (from 51% to 55%).
...the percentage favoring the Palestinians increases with formal education, ranging from 8% of those withÂ
no college experience to 20% of postgraduates.

http://www.jpost.com/Diplomacy-and-Politics/Irish-minister-to-Post-Ireland-not-hostile
Jerusalem should distinguish between Irish NGOs, some of which are obsessively focused on Israel, and the Irish government that wants to deepen and extend ties with the Jewish state, Irish Justice, Equality and Defense Minister Alan Shatter told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.
Shatter, who came to Israel on Monday for a five-day visit after spending two days in Lebanon, said the center-right government in his country believes that Israel and Ireland have a lot of common economic interests, and that 'a great deal more can be done.'
Sitting in the courtyard of east Jerusalem's American Colony Hotel, Shatter addressed charges that Ireland was among the most hostile countries toward Israel inside the EU by saying Ireland has a new government, in power now for some two years, that has taken a 'balanced approach to the Palestinian issue.'
'Ireland is a friend of Israel,' he said. 'We have a government in Ireland that wants a deeper engagement. But we also have a government in Ireland that is committed to the peace process. I am very conscious that the peace process has effectively ground to a halt. I think the formation of a new government, with so many new MKs and the role [Hatnua chairwoman] Tzipi Livni has been given, provides an opportunity for engagement.'
Shatter, who is Jewish, has over the years come under sharp criticism in his country for speaking out in support of Israel.
'It is legitimate to be critical of Israel,' he said. But, he added, there are 'occasions when you get to the point where people attempt to delegitimize the Israeli state, and seek to deny it any international credibility, and that steps over the line from political critique to an attempt to disguise anti-Semitism. I have over the years of political life in Ireland been the target of that sort of communications, but it is extremely rare.'
Shatter, who visited the 12- man Irish contingent to the UN disengagement force on the Golan Heights, said the UN force was 'not going to disappear.'
Shatter also visited the 360- strong Irish contingent in Lebanon, 330 of them part of the UNIFIL forces in southern Lebanon, and said that there, too, he got no signal that anyone was considering disengagement.
'Ireland is absolutely committed to continued engagement in UNIFIL,' he said. 'I met the force commander there, as well as with our troops, and got no sense of a desire to terminate that mission.'
One of the arguments heard in Europe against placing Hezbollah on the terror list is that the group would retaliate by attacking UNIFIL forces.
'I think from the Israeli point of view the calm in southern Lebanon is of crucial importance,' he said, adding that 'the role UNIFIL plays on the blue line [the UN-drawn border between Israel and Lebanon] 'both as observers and in mediating issues as they arise between the Lebanon armed force and Israel , Â is of crucial importance.
It has brought some stability to the border between Israel and Lebanon. I think this is an issue of greater complexity than how to describe a particular grouping. You have to give comprehensive consideration to consequences of a decision that might be taken, and whether the decision is of genuine benefit or not.'
After death at Tel Aviv half-marathon, Health Ministry panel will set standards for 'extreme' sports events
http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/after-death-at-tel-aviv-half-marathon-health-ministry-panel-will-set-standards-for-extreme-sports-events.premium-1.509904
ByIlan Lior , Dan Even and Ilan Goldman | Mar.17, 2013 | 8:18 AM | 3
The Health Ministry is establishing an investigative committee to set standards for sporting events, following the death of a runner in the Tel Aviv half-marathon on Friday and injuries to a dozen others.
Michael Michaelovich, 29, died during the half-marathon, and 12 other people suffered serious heatstroke and dehydration. Eleven were still hospitalized last night, all of them stable. They are due to be released today. The Magen David Adom rescue service treated a total of 80 people for heatstroke and other injuries resulting from Friday's races.
Two years ago, a 42-year-old runner in the Tel Aviv Marathon was hospitalized with severe dehydration and died three days later.
Some half-marathon runners said there wasn't enough water available along the route, but municipal officials denied this.
Because of the expected heat wave, the municipality considered postponing all the events to this Friday,
but that was impossible because of the visit by U.S. President Barack Obama later this week.
Michaelovich, a resident of Moshav Menuha in the south, was a major in the Oketz canine unit, left a wife and infant son. His family said he was an experienced runner and in good physical condition.

a type description using the syntax shown in The Syntax for Foreign Types in ftype.htm.
a foreign type object, that is a foreign class metaobject, such as is returned by def-foreign-type, find-class, or class-of.
The allocation argument declares the storage class of the object being accessed. allocation must be one of :foreign, :foreign-static-gc, :lisp, :c, :aligned or nil. If the allocation is nil then the allocation type will be computed from the object argument. When the allocation argument is not nil, and the slot names are all constants, then this function will be open coded by the compiler if the optimize-fslot-value-switch is true.
:lisp A Lisp array of type (unsigned-byte 8) of sufficient size to hold the foreign object.
:c A Lisp integer representing the address of the object in memory.
:aligned A Lisp integer representing the aligned address of the object in memory.
nil Any of the four types above.
The slot-names are symbols or integers. Symbols name the slots to access. Integers are used to specify array indices.
The symbol naming a slot can either be the exact symbol used when the type was defined, or it can be a keyword package symbol with the same symbol-name as the one used to define the slot.
When the accessed slot is a primitive type, then the value of the slot is returned. When the accessed slot is a composite type such as a sub-structure or an array, then the address of the sub-structure or array is returned as a Lisp integer. Please see the caution in the description of fslot-address-typed about using the returned address value.
The special slot-name asterisk * is used to denote dereferencing a pointer. If a slot has the type (* foo) then you use the * slot name to indicate that you want to follow the pointer to the foo-typed object. If the object is an array, then the asterisk will access the first element of the array (the element at index zero).
When the allocation argument is not nil, and the slot names are all constants, then this function will be open coded by the compiler if the optimize-fslot-value-switch is true.
setf can be used with this function to change the value.
In the last example above, we specified that the top-level foreign object being accessed is a record structure, but it was not necessary to also state that the lower-level object in its sarray slot is an array of sub-rec structures. The reason is that this information is declared in the def-foreign-type for the record structure, and so the compiler can derive that information from there. In some cases, however, the top-level foreign object may not define the types of its subobjects, such as when it is an array of pointers to other arrays. In such cases, the type argument to fslot-value-typed may be a nested list that specifies the type of the top-level object as well as its subobjects. See The Syntax for Foreign Types in ftype.htm for the complete definition of Allegro's foreign type format.
For example, in the following function, which asks GTK for all of its available font faces, the GTK function pango_context_list_families fills in a longword (which we have passed to it) with a pointer to a vector of pointers to GTK PangoFontFamily objects. To access each font family, the call to fslot-value-typed near the bottom specifies the foreign type as the nested list (* (:array (* PangoFontFamily))), indicating that we are accessing a pointer to an array of pointers to PangoFontFamily objects.
To be precise, the simpler expression (* (:array :long)) would have worked just as well here, because the nested expression (:array :long) would still tell lisp what sort of object the final "j" slot argument is accessing, but (* :long) is not sufficient for that.


Case Study – GE Healthcare, The Grove Centre, June 2014.
The Life Sciences division of GE Healthcare is a $4 billion business, providing expertise and tools for a wide range of biotechnology and life sciences applications, including basic research of cells and proteins, drug discovery research, as well as tools to support large-scale manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals. It also supplies leading contrast agents, PET & nuclear medicine pharmaceuticals for diagnostic imaging in disease such as cancer, heart disease and neurological disorders.
In 2010, the business announced significant restructuring at one of our key manufacturing sites and this significant piece of change continued longer than expected. Our challenge was to ensure that our primary focus was continuous employee engagement. Open and honest communication by both managers and HR was critical. In 2014, we've moved out of this period of change, and are now focused on the future of the site; continuing to manufacture in the UK and also facilitate opportunities for new business activities.
Positive people were instrumental to continuous successful engagement. With the appointment of a new Site Director we combined some regular monthly meetings into one consolidated Quarterly Performance Review, which engenders a real focus on the site's strategy and performance. The output of this meeting helped to formulate the Quarterly Townhall Meetings for all employees.
In addition we have Weekly Friday Dashboard Meetings (see photo) – where leaders from the different departments come together to update the rest of the site team on our performance and any new news items. This is a quick stand up meeting around a wall mounted Dashboard, that employees see happening every week. It is situated by the site restaurant so employees can see what's been achieved in the past week.
In conjunction with the regular communication methods there are also Monthly Team Briefs (standard monthly meetings which communicated 'reward & recognition' and important site messages) and Monthly Round Tables (where a random selection of employees are invited to share concerns, suggestions and successes with representatives from the Site Leadership Team).
Using popular culture as a tool for unity and engagement – In June, we are used the World Cup as another opportunity to further engage employees, and connect them informally with our Senior Leaders, who also joined in on the fun over a Table Football tournament during the World Cup. We've tried to take opportunities to combine initiatives too, for example we've launched two competitions to promote Diversity whilst the tournament is on called "Why are you proud to represent your country" and best "Selfie"; highlighting our cultural differences and why Diversity is beneficial to our site.
We are constantly challenging ourselves and employees to come up with new ideas and ways they can continue to be engaged. We offer our employees a voice, and listen and take action where we can. We know we have more we can do and our aim is not to be complacent.
We have a low level of attrition and sickness related to stress related absence.
We also have a programme called "Realise". This is a method by which employees are able to identify simplification ideas that will help them achieve their work more easily and save the company time and money. We set ourselves a company target of 120 ideas per year per site and we have already achieved this target half way through the year!
Have lots of different methods of communicating with employees; no one method will work, but together they can be really effective.
Our focus now is to look at ways our employees can learn more about our business and the vast array of customers and patients we have. We have recently merged two parts of the Healthcare business, and have a Global initiative "Life Sciences & Me" that is looking at ways to connect employees with the business.

Overview:Leadership is fundamentally all about influence. There are many factors that impact how, when and why you are able to influence/lead others. One of the biggest crisis we have in the United States right now is the lack of effective leadership in business, government and the family. Our focus will be business however the principles are applicable to how you lead your family.
All through history we have seen cases of great leadership. We will review some of the most noteworthy and use them as examples of how we can learn from history. It has been said if you don't learn from history you are condemned to relive it.
Power is another aspect of leadership that we will delve into in a very practical way. What is power, how do you use it for good or evil and why is it so important to fully understand your own power as well as the power of other people.
The core of this webinar is specific strategies and tactics you can use in the business environment. Principles and theories will be mentioned but the application of specific strategies and tactics will be the focus. You will learn exactly how you must behave as a leader to be impactful. You will be able to identify the various types of leadership and why, when and how they are effective. You will walk away with a clear image of why you believe what you do, how to implement a leadership strategy and how to get the maximum results.
It's time to begin the journey.
Why should you Attend:Have you discovered the missing links that separate the average executive from the highest achievers? Learn the knowledge, attitudes, skills and behaviors necessary to become an exceptional leader.
Are you ready, willing and able to grow?
Strategies for Effective Leadership are a proven process to help you improve your leadership. The focus is on getting you results. The core requirements of excellent leadership are straight forward and actually very simple, yet why is it so many people struggle to figure out how to lead? The reason is they have not defined, committed to and determined how to consistently apply the principles of being a leader. This webinar will give you the clarity, definition and practical methods you need to become and achieve the mission of being a quality leader.
What is leadership? What is management?

Races > Other Races >
While the seven core races are the primary focus of the game, they're not the only ones suitable to be played as characters. Other, even stranger races help populate the world, and—with the GM's permission— also work well as player character races, creating fun and exciting new roleplaying opportunities. This section details the most common of such races. From the nimble catfolk to the fiery ifrits and scavenging, bird-like tengu, these races have just as much motivation to be adventurers as do elves, gnomes, and humans. And while they may not be as common in the major population hubs of the Pathfinder campaign setting, each of the races detailed here presents its own unique background and abilities.
While many of these races are considered civilized, some are typically viewed as monsters, and may prove interesting challenges for roleplaying and character interaction. When playing drow, kobolds, orcs, or other such races, it is often best for party dynamics to take on the roles of characters who rebel against the norms of their races and societies—creatures who do not agree with their often brutal cultures, and instead wish to carve out a better existence for themselves among other races. When playing these races, even more so than for many other races, it is important to work with your GM to determine character motivations and backgrounds that work in the campaign.
Aasimars: Creatures blessed with a celestial bloodline, aasimars seem human except for some exotic quality that betrays their otherworldly origin. While aasimars are nearly always beautiful, something simultaneously a part of and apart from humanity, not all of them are good, though very few are evil.
Catfolk: A race of graceful explorers, catfolk are both clannish and curious by nature. They tend to get along with races that treat them well and respect their boundaries. They love exploration, both physical and intellectual, and tend to be natural adventurers.
Dhampir: The accursed spawn of vampires, dhampirs are living creatures tainted with the curse of undeath, which causes them to take damage from positive energy and gain healing from negative energy. While many members of this race embrace their dark sides, others are powerfully driven to rebel against their taint and hunt down and destroy vampires and their ilk.
Drow: Dark reflections of surface elves, drow are shadowy hunters who strive to snuff out the world's light. Drow are powerful magical creatures who typically serve demons, and only their chaotic nature stops them from becoming an even greater menace. A select few forsake their race's depraved and nihilistic society to walk a heroic path.
Fetchlings: Long ago, fetchlings were humans exiled to the Shadow Plane, but that plane's persistent umbra has transformed them into a race apart. These creatures have developed an ability to meld into the shadows and have a natural affinity for shadow magic. Fetchlings—who call themselves kayal—often serve as emissaries between the inhabitants of the Shadow Plane and the Material Plane.
Goblins: Crazy pyromaniacs with a tendency to commit unspeakable violence, goblins are the smallest of the goblinoid races. While they are a fun-loving race, their humor is often cruel and hurtful. Adventuring goblins constantly wrestle with their darkly mischievous side in order to get along with others. Few are truly successful.
Hobgoblins: These creatures are the most disciplined and militaristic of the goblinoid races. Tall, tough as nails, and strongly built, hobgoblins would be a boon to any adventuring group, were it not for the fact that they tend to be cruel and malicious, and often keep slaves.
Ifrits: Ifrits are a race descended from mortals and the strange inhabitants of the Plane of Fire. Their physical traits and personalities often betray their fiery origins, and they tend to be restless, independent, and imperious. Frequently driven from cities for their ability to manipulate flame, ifrits make powerful fire sorcerers and warriors who can wield flame like no other race.
Kobolds: Considering themselves the scions of dragons, kobolds have diminutive statures but massive egos. A select few can take on more draconic traits than their kin, and many are powerful sorcerers, canny alchemists, and cunning rogues.
Orcs: Savage, brutish, and hard to kill, orcs are often the scourge of far-flung wildernesses and cavern deeps. Many orcs become fearsome barbarians, as they are muscular and prone to bloody rages. Those few who can control their bloodlust make excellent adventurers.
Oreads: Creatures of human ancestry mixed with the blood of creatures from the Plane of Earth, oreads are as strong and solid as stone. Often stubborn and steadfast, their unyielding nature makes it hard for them to get along with most races other than dwarves. Oreads make excellent warriors and sorcerers who can manipulate the raw power of stone and earth.
Ratfolk: These small, ratlike humanoids are clannish and nomadic masters of trade. Often tinkers and traders, they are more concerned with accumulating interesting trinkets than amassing wealth. Ratfolk often adventure to find new and interesting curiosities rather than coin.
Sylphs: Ethereal folk of elemental air, sylphs are the result of human blood mixed with that of airy elemental folk. Like ifrits, oreads, and undines, they can become powerful elemental sorcerers with command over their particular elemental dominion. They tend to be beautiful and lithe, and have a knack for eavesdropping.
Tengu: These crow-like humanoid scavengers excel in mimicry and swordplay. Flocking into densely populated cities, tengus occasionally join adventuring groups out of curiosity or necessity. Their impulsive nature and strange habits can often be unnerving to those who are not used to them.
Tieflings: Diverse and often despised by humanoid society, tieflings are mortals stained with the blood of fiends. Other races rarely trust them, and this lack of empathy usually causes tieflings to embrace the evil, depravity, and rage that seethe within their corrupt blood. A select few see the struggle to smother such dark desires as motivation for grand heroism.
Undines: Like their cousins, the ifrits, oreads, and sylphs, undines are humans touched by planar elements. They are the scions of elemental water, equally graceful both on land and in water. Undines are adaptable and resistant to cold, and have an affinity for water magic.

Primrose path
Primrose path is an idiom that goes back to at least the early 1600s. An idiom is a word, group of words or phrase that has a figurative meaning that is not easily deduced from its literal meaning. We will examine the definition of primrose path, where the term came from and some examples of its use in sentences.
Primrose path refers to a way of life that is easy and pleasant, but in fact, leads to one's destruction or some other consequence. It is often expressed as leading someone down the primrose path. The idiom primrose path was first used by William Shakespeare, in his 1602 play, Hamlet: "Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven; Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine, Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads, And recks not his own rede."
Just one toke, the film warned, and you could be setting off down the primrose path to murder, hallucinations, rape, suicide, and yes, the titular madness. (The Guardian)
"I think a lot of them have been led down a primrose path about how easy it's going to be to be elected to Congress in these districts," said Gilliard, who is advising the Walters and Royce campaigns. (The Los Angeles Times)
"I don't want to lead you down the primrose path here — we've been at the edge a few times," John Holub, chairman of United Auto Workers Local 2308, said during a tour of the plant offered to the Daily News in early July. (The New York Daily News)
"There hasn't been good communication with some of the problems that have arisen and I think we were led down the primrose path of how great it was going to be," one resident said. (The Dunwoody Crier)


Sustainability Indicators Project: The committee has created a list of sustainability indicators for the communities in the SCN. Laurie Case has been creating Excel spreadsheet to capture the indicator data in. We need to reach out to find another intern to start collecting the data. Catherine will send the intern description to local universities for possible interns.
Outreach/recycling education – Menasha and Neenah are coordinating recycling dates. Roger handed out a flyer with details to share and promote. He discussed opportunities to continue to coordinate on co-promoting recycling and other events.
Forestry Project update: Roger Kanitz reported for urban forestry work group. He believes there are currently opportunities being missed because communities are not collaborating eg. CSA approach to planting fruit trees on public lands. For Hortonville and Waupaca, East Central WI RPC has offered to complete studies as part of its annual technical assistance program.
Website Maintenance: Kanitz reported on website maintenance. Webmaster requests that billing be consolidated, so that he is not sending separate bills to each SCN municipality/town/county. Roger asked SCN to consider naming one community or organization with official status as the billing and collection agency for SCN. Given the awkwardness of one municipality billing others for services rendered, discussion ensued on ECWRPC, FC Greenways, or other group being approached to serve as billing agent. Members were asked to investigate these options and report back.
Items for next meeting: 1) review indicators project in light of healthy living indicators and the livability index of Capitol Region; 2) changing time of day for future meetings of SCN, and 3) billing agent for server maintenance.


I kept a personal diary from the time I was 8 until last year, shortly after turning 17. In it, I recorded not only my life and my emotions, but special moments in the lives of my friends and family – a momentous birthday, an important occasion, a prominent promotion, a milestone, etc.
I dearly regret stopping it, but times have changed. Instead, I try to capture the moments via camera as often as I can so that I can create a scrapbook (sometime in the hopefully not so far away future), rather than simply writing words which do not convey as clearly one's emotions as one's smile.
Nevertheless, I see the value of keeping a diary, of recording the beauties in everyday life, of capturing the special moments, just to go back, read over them, and in a way, relive them.
If you haven't kept a diary before (or did, but stopped, like I did), I would strongly encourage you to try it. It is a perfect outlet for all your thoughts, and it really helped me keep track of prayer requests, as well.
In this favorite authors post, I will give you guys five (…six?…) of my favorite memoir authors and their coinciding memoirs, which I have read.
In her autobiography entitled Children of the Storm: The Autobiography of Natasha Vins, Vins recounts her life as a Christian in a very persecuted environment in Soviet Russia. Despite the pressure of her teachers and her peers, Natasha remained a steadfast Christian. May we all have the same unwavering devotion to our Savior in this materialistic age.
Many have read Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl, and you may be one of those privileged many. However, if you have yet to indulged in this rich memoir of a young Jewish girl, please go read this book! You are missing out on the mingled humor, joy, and tragedy of this young girl's life. In the midst of tragedy, Anne finds beauty in words and beauty in life. Her wise outlook on the dreariest of situations encourages the reader to find the light, no matter the darkness. Anne Frank gives the reader a rare glimpse into the heart and mind of a young girl, and this is one treasure you cannot afford to ignore any longer.
One of my favorite people to have walked the earth, Monty Roberts is a diamond in the rough, so to speak. The Horse Whisperer. The Man Who Listens to Horses. And that is the name of his book. Honestly written with wise insight, this book will truly capture your heart as it did mine. Also, if you are a real horse-lover (like me), you may want to read Monty's book Shy Boy: The Horse That Came in from the Wild. Simply beautiful true story.
I read The Hiding Place: The Triumphant True Story of Corrie Ten Boom for the first time in middle school, and I fell in love – with Corrie, with her writing, with her courage, with her faith, with her story. Her witty personality and unfaltering faith inspired me to be a better Christian and a better woman. Often, I complain because of minor discomforts in my already overly-comfortable-first-world-lifestyle, and I forget that others have had it worse – and currently have it worse – than I do. Through her pain, Corrie became stronger in the Lord, refusing to yield to her adversaries, her doubts, her weaknesses. Reading about the lives of people like Corrie brings tears to my eyes because of the simple faith with which she approached everything – the simple faith that many of us have forgotten.
I have a very personal and deep connection to this particular biography. When I was 7, my mom read Whitt's The Suitcases with me. This was a couple months after I came to America after my adoption, and I could readily relate to Whitt's story. Her story made us cry and laugh at various points, and it personally helped me to better communicate with my mom and for her to better understand me and my pain at that time. I recommend this memoir for everyone to read because Anne's story is poignant and beautiful and memorable.
Since I was 7 (and could barely speak English), I have thoroughly enjoyed and adored singing to all the songs in the movie The Sound of Music. You can imagine how overjoyed and thrilled and absolutely bubbling with excitement I was to discover that one of my most beloved women had actually written a memoir about one of my most beloved movies! Together, my parents and I read The Story of the Trapp Family Singers and relished in her witticisms, humor, sweetness, and beautiful romance with the Captain.
Have you read any of these memoirs?
Which memoirs/authors are your favorite?
