Historie

En bosætning, Tsarjovo Gorodísjtje () blev etableret her mellem 1659 og 1662 af godsejeren Timofej Nevezjin fra Tjumen. Den blev i de følgende år udviklet som fæstningsby. Byen fungerede som en grænsepost og dens befæstede stilling gjorde det muligt at forsvare andre russiske bosættelser fra nomadeangreb. Fæstningen var ikke desto mindre ikke altid i stand til at modstå angrebene, og blev nogle gange plyndret og brændt ned.

Kurgan fik bystatus af zarina Katharina den Store i 1782, hvor den fik sit nuværende navn og blev sæde for en ujezd. Byen er opkaldt efter en gravhøj (Kurgan) tæt på den oprindelige bosættelse.

Byen blev administrativt center i Kurgan oblast i 1943.

17-Nov-2009 - Money available to treat HIV/AIDS is sufficient to end the epidemic globally, but only if we act immediately to control the spread of the disease. That was the conclusion of a study just published in the open-access journal, BMC Public Health. This approach defies conventional thinking, which recommends gradual spending over 15-20 years. Canadian Researchers found that an aggressive program over five years is the only way to end the epidemic given our current resources. The study, part of a supplement on "The OptAIDS project: towards global halting of HIV/AIDS," was based on a leading-edge mathematical model developed by mathematicians and biologists, who recently earned acclaim for a study on how best to handle a planetary invasion by zombies.
Professor Robert J. Smith? and his team from the University of Ottawa, as well as researchers from York University and the University of Manitoba, developed the mathematical model to examine how best to eliminate HIV/AIDS worldwide, given the large amounts of money that have been committed to fighting the disease. They found that the $60 billion currently committed to fighting HIV/AIDS might suffice to end the epidemic globally. However, spending this money over the proposed 15-20 years will almost certainly fail, given the ability of HIV/AIDS to spread through travel and migration.
Recent scientific advances combined with education campaigns and condoms have been very effective in reducing the incidence of the disease in many countries and regions. However, the incidence of infection is still on the rise in many countries too. Over an extended timeframe of 15-20 years, travel and immigration will make it impossible to contain the disease to these regions. As a result, they predict that the spread of the disease will continue to outpace treatment.
This breakthrough finding was the culmination of numerous international studies looking at how epidemics spread globally, the infrastructure required to contain epidemics, how different countries are managing the disease, and the resources required to manage the HIV/AIDS epidemic, under the OptAIDS project umbrella.
"The OptAIDS project grew out of a frustration with existing attempts to tackle the disease," says Professor Smith? "HIV/AIDS is mostly addressed at a community or national level, when it needs to be tackled globally."
The team is now working to develop a model for how best to spend existing resources in the developing world to contain the disease before it spreads beyond our reach.

Throat infection can occur to children due to various causes like seasonal changes, contaminated drinking water, eating refrigerated foods and can also be contagious. In the presence context, the major symptoms of throat infection and remedies for it are brought into picture.
The very first symptom of throat infection in children is that , they cannot swallow either solid or liquid foods due to burning sensation in their throat. This pain will be very severe in the initial stage. Hence, if your child cries to eat food or drink liquids, chances for him or her to suffer from throat infection are more likely.
Intermittent coughing and sneezing are the most identifiable symptoms of throat infection. When cough persists, it is advisable to give luke warm boiled water and soups of tomato or corn, to your child.preferably. Foods having high content of cheese, butter, ghee and cream should be avoided, because such foods are not soothing to the infected throat of the child. Ice creams, cool drinks, refrigerated yogurts, muffins etc; may trigger the severity of throat infection in your child. Therefore, avoid giving them refrigerated foods during winter and rainy seasons.
Children tend to suffer from imbalanced breath as the nasal system is congested with throat infection and also due to the storage of flem in the throat. So, they open their mouth while breathing. In such situations, apply eucalyptus oil on your baby's chest, while sleeping and also while bathing him in hot water. This would give them relief to some extent during day time.
Here we have a list of effective remedies for throat infection for your child. These methods can be permanent cures from throat infection, if followed very often every week.
Allicin, which is a major ingredient present in garlic works better for the removal of bacteria in throat. Therefore, put one or two flakes of garlic in hot and cooked rice for few seconds to make them soft and lose the pungent smell. You can give this to your child by mixing with a tea spoon of rice or any vegetable. However, heavy doses of garlic may cause symptoms of heat in your child's body making him to get body aches. So, use garlic only in few quantities.
This is the most preferred way of getting relief from throat infection. This procedure can be followed for your child too, to get relief from throat infection. Take a vessel of hot water and drop few pinches of turmeric powder, or two table spoons of tea powder or a small quantity of any mild vaporizing balm.
Keep this vessel under your child's bed when your child is asleep. Care should be taken that the hot vapors enter the nose and throat of your child. To remind you again, steaming should not be done when your baby is awake, because with the non cooperation from your child, the hot water may fall on your baby's body.

« Beware of Advertising This Holiday Season
UN Report on Advertising and Cultural Rights »
GENEVA (7 February 2014) – The United Nations Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights, Farida Shaheed, is launching a new study on the impact of advertising and marketing practices on cultural rights, with an up-close look at their effect on cultural diversity and human rights.
Ms. Shaheed will be looking at the effect of commercial sponsorship on academic and artistic freedoms, as well as on the content of art museum exhibits, among other issues. Her report will be considered by the UN General Assembly in October this year.
"One underlying problem", the human rights expert said, "relates to the impact that advertising and marketing practices may have on cultural diversity and the right of people to choose their way of life".
"The modification of our cultural and symbolic landscapes through billboards or screens, the increasing encroachment of advertising on our public space and the intrusion of advertising in schools and universities are among the concerns I intend to address in this report," she explained.
The Special Rapporteur has already laid the basis for her study through a first series of meetings with experts in New York. She has also reached out to all UN Member States and other interested parties to seek their views, for example on the use of private data for commercial purposes, the use of neuromarketing or behavioural targeting, and possible regulation to differentiate commercial speech from non-commercial speech.*
"Many ethical and human rights issues are at stake", Ms. Shaheed stressed. "I am particularly interested in the mechanisms that can ensure a variety of narratives and values in the public space and through mass media, beyond what is often referred to as 'commercial culture.'"
The Special Rapporteur's study on the impact of advertising and marketing practices on cultural rights will be made available online in September / October 2014, during the 69th session of the UN General Assembly in New York.
(*) Check the Special Rapporteur's webpage on the ongoing study, including the questionnaire for all interested stakeholders (deadline: 3 March 2014)
Ms. Farida Shaheed took up her functions as Independent Expert and then Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights in August 2009. She has worked for more than 25 years promoting and protecting cultural rights by fostering policies and projects designed in culturally sensitive ways to support the rights of marginalized sectors, including women, peasants, and religious and ethnic minorities. Ms. Shaheed has been the recipient of several national and international human rights awards, and is an experienced participant in negotiations at international, regional and national levels.

Automotive • Featured
We all know how cars OS can get bugs, and they need fixing. Well, car creators learned a trick to get over this issue quickly.
According to ECU coding and flashing, ECU of a car had PROM (Program Read-only Memory) chips which have all the important information and data of various calibration and operating systems. But then Flash reprogramming PCM was introduced which gained hugged popularity.
We will be looking into the benefits the flash reprogramming PCM has and what are the negative effects of it.
What is a Flash Reprogramming PCM?
To understand the Flash reprogramming, we need to understand what PCM what is it did. A PCM means a power-train control module which controls different units in a car to have a positive effect on the speed, working and other aspects of the car.
By different units I mean, engine control unit and the transmission control unit. Usually, a PCM controls over 100 factors in a car.
Flash reprogramming means the availability of those options where you can proceed faster and correct anything wrong quickly in a calculated manner.
It also was electronically programmed which ensured that if the system had any sort bug in the system, it could be corrected by electronic configuration.
When we are talking about flash reprogramming, we mean that unlike earlier PROMs that were a limited source of basic PCMs. With flash programming introduction, the PROMs were replaceable which added to the car's value and worth. Like when it was introduced some 2 decades or more time back by GM motors.
The Reprogramming:
Usually, the reprogramming occurred when you need to fix any problem in the PCM. There were many reasons for reprogramming. For instance,
Engine unit not working properly,
Car effectivity is getting lesser,
There is a bug in the system,
Factory settings are not working properly,
The system was not ready when the car was launched.
Many other reasons were also there, but these were the highlighted ones, and they need quick solutions. The auto-engineers worked a wonderful solution. The replaceable PROM Chip which meant that you can replace the old and defaulted chip with a new one with almost old settings.
All you had to do was to remove the old chip and replace it with new. You can reuse the old one when the highlighted issue is cleared off.
It also was easier when you had this type of chip at your disposal because it comes with many benefits. You could easily change the chip and increase the different affecting factors the engine performance. Like
More spark advance,
More speed.
The basic purpose was to increase the power of the engine while you could operate the old way with chips. Flash reprogramming was used to increase the capacity of the PCM. Also, the PCM was easy to be replaced and upgraded with the latest versions when required.
Because of flash reprogramming, little time was wasted when you need the chip or to upgrade it. Also, whenever you want to check on to any unit's work, it was easier to go through the configuration and read them and learn about them.
Downside:
The only negative I learned from flash reprogramming was that there were too man flashes. For every model and for every new year, there were new flashes, and it was easy to get irritated with these kinds of things.
With too many changes happening, new flashes were made, and it meant constant new addition and change. Other than this, flash reprogramming is just like the software of a computer. Easy to use and read for engineers good at ECU coding and flashing.

Finance as Warfare: the IMF Lent to Greece Knowing It Could Never Pay Back Debt
Peries, Sharmini; Hudson, Michael
http://www.counterpunch.org/2017/02/21/finance-as-warfare-the-imf-lent-to-greece-knowing-it-could-never-pay-back-debt/
Publisher: Counterpunch
An interview with economist Michael Hudson, who argues that the International Monetary Fund provided loans to Greece with the deliberate intention that the country be forced to go into default and be forced to sell public assets and land.
Excerpts:
So, the question is, why does this junk economics continue, decade after decade? The reason is that the loans are made to Greece precisely because Greece couldn't pay. When a country can't pay, the rules at the IMF and EU and the German bankers behind it say, don't worry, we will simply insist that you sell off your public domain. Sell off your land, your transportation, your ports, your electric utilities. This is by now a program that has gone on and on, decade after decade.
Because when Greece fails, that's a success for the foreign investors that want to buy the Greek railroads. They want to take over the ports. They want to take over the land. They want the tourist sites. But most of all, they want to set an example of Greece, to show that France, the Netherlands or other countries that may think of withdrawing from the euro - withdraw and decide they would rather grow than be impoverished - that the IMF and EU will do to them just what they're doing to Greece.
Interviews and Conversations


A recommendation letter is written to be able to recommend someone for a specific opportunity, whereas, a reference letter will be much more concerning the factual information regarding the person, without any special recommendations. Therefore, in case you've been requested to compose an experience letter to get a teacher, here is a sample and a number of guidelines that will aid you.
Personal colleges will typically need more time from teachers outside the school day with numerous pursuits. You may be a brand new high school or college grad, or you might be entering the workforce to the very first time. When you show teachers that you're passionate about learning and you need to study through distinct course assignments, they could understand that you've got an excellent work ethic. It is great in order to spell out the way you want to continue to develop as a teacher. There might be a couple of instances where there isn't anything exceptional that you are in a position to mention about a teacher. An art teacher is someone who not only has the capability to create varied types of artwork, but someone who owns the capability to impart wisdom to other people on producing it as well.
Most folks apply for work at the worst manner possible. Also be certain to make it be very obvious that you are considering that exceptional job. The task of a teacher is one that demands a high awareness of obligation to the job, and a specific quantity of sensitivity. If you realize how to perform this job, if you're able to demonstrate that you may include ROI, that is all you really require. Same thing in regards to applying for your fantasy job. You will be amazed at how quickly you can hack your way to your dream occupation.
Putting negotiable directly in the application lets a recruiter know that you will be inclined to work with them to locate a salary is effective for you both. Do not make an effort to threaten you could contemplate hunting for new employment, in the event the demand isn't met. Another precaution companies choose to limit the chance for a dishonest job candidate to get through the front door is to receive a statement about the work program which cautions of making false statements on job program.
The correspondence ought to be assembled in such a manner that it impresses without sounding as if you're blowing your own horn. Drafting a cover letter can be one of the most stress inducing aspects of the search. It might have a logo or small picture of you together with your contact information in the header. Prior to your resume, it's the cover letter which will be viewed and that's why it has to be composed with utmost caution. On top of that, it may even make it in the hands of the person that you addressed it !
Practice your contact details together with the contact info of somebody to whom you'll be addressing the correspondence. Ensure that you clearly define the most important reason for being absent, therefore the receiver of this correspondence understands of your own circumstance. In summary, the letter has to be crisp and direct. In several cases the entire correspondence is rounded off in a few sentences, because there is no room for insignificant thoughts. An introductory letter by a new teacher is a procedure of welcoming the students and parents to someone's course and so, the tone of the letter ought to be very polite.
The letter of employment should have a very simple format. Composing such a letter becomes really easy as soon as you're conscious of the ideal format to your letter. A letter of absence must clarify the main reason for being absent along with define when the worker is called to return. This type of letter may similarly be composed as an about a potential employment opportunity, even if a supplier isn't wanting to hire. An intent letter is a type of cover letter. This sample letter of intent would allow you to write a very good one for yourself. Your cover letter is the introduction to a potential employer and your chance to acquire their focus. In addition to that, it may even make it into the hands of the person you addressed it !
Find out which information to have in your letter and review a sample. A letter of inquiry is a form of interest letter in which the author asks about the opportunity of a work opening in the future. So you wish to pique how to write a tout letter. A superb letter of work experience could become your answer to receiving the internship you've been needing. The application letter (occasionally, known as program ) should be written in such a manner it covers each of the areas, a potential employer is searching for. Accounting internship cover letter samples vs. the actual bargain The internship letter of application is often the formal request presented by people who want to receive work. An effective program letter for internship will help you in creating a feeling and you might get chosen.
Your correspondence should show your familiarity with the organization and its targets, and allow it to be clear why you would be a superior candidate to the internship. Furthermore, it is a whole lot less challenging to ask and manage letters of recommendation whilst still at the university by way of your faculty. Since you may see, private reference letters of recommendation are only a mirror of your character and skills.
According to where you are and mentor, it is also possible to be asked to submit one report after each 15 days. An accounting report can be somewhat hectic and might involve a whole lot of formulas and calculations which when not checked properly could cause an immense mess. Writing a sensible report for accounting pupil should not be an uphill task because it is presumed if the proper method of representing them is embraced.
Detecting a program in your specific major is another amazing alternative for gaining a distinguishing worldwide experience! The program is presently accepting applications. If you are not admitted or unable to defer or just don't have to dedicate to a particular app still, you're likely to have draft program which will be much simpler to edit than beginning from scratch after having been away from college for some time.
If you are a fresh graduate without a lot of experience it is wise to keep it into a single page only. The second sort of student is students looking to get attached to Golix'. Many students dislike the part of studying where they have to produce reports to offer an explanation of specific practical instruction they went through. They mistakenly believe that using long words and business jargon is the best way to impress employers.
You reveal a high level of private responsibility, very good organisational abilities and the capacity to prioritise nicely. You show a high amount of personal responsibility, have quite good organisational abilities and the capacity to prioritise well. You show a high amount of personal responsibility, along with very good organisational skills and the capacity to prioritise well.
Internships are requesting an internship. The genuine internship itself is usually similar to the job. Such internships may not lead to a fulltime offer but may be an excellent way to learn and construct your own network.
My occupation was designed to make new attributes and functions for their college management system to construct their closing product. How to get the job that you're too experienced for. It is also simpler if you are applying for employment in the region you studied in college.
Prove your passion for the business you want work in. As you start looking for your very first job, do not neglect to make the most of opportunities to network with key people in the companies you wish to work at. Possessing little to no experience yet does not signify you cannot get the job that you want.
Thank you letters remind your company about your program, which might be buried in under a pile of unique software. Create a conscious collection of everything you think the employer is seeking. Employers love ambitious employees that have a vision. Employers need a fantastic fit and someone who delivers results. They are typically looking for people who are able to demonstrate that they will produce specific results for the company. In fact, nearly all companies are considering locating a means to disqualify applicants for the job instead of qualify them.
Meet five Linfield alumni that are in the custom of or have graduated from assorted masters programs within the past ten years. Only one application should be submitted by February 1.

Compose a letter to somebody else within an equally alluring positionyou know they are out there, which there are lots of people that are ready to speak to you! When it has to do with composing nursing letter of reference, you would like to know about the individual. The personal statement is a very important part of university applications in the uk.

Because there are many trade programs and schools on the market, do your homework prior to creating your final selection. New nursing graduates become hired each of the moment.

They also need to fill out the biology, biological structure, nutrition, nursing and many other people to finish their education. Many nursing students are excessively busy with college to provide much idea to resumes and cover letters before graduation is but in addition to these.
Some schools have a great deal of special programs you can select from, while others are hyper-specialized in a few regions of the skilled trades. For me, it wasn't only graduate school that enabled me to find my own way. By way of example, if you are applying to numerous colleges, you wish to remind your instructor that the letter has to be written directly. 1 strategy to make sure the school you're taking a look at is licensed is to look at its site. Trade schools are able to assist you get into a wonderful career quickly. They come in all different shapes and sizes.


Tomorrow is Memorial Day, which means picnics, pool parties, and potlucks galore! Memorial Day isn't really a holiday we associate with a certain type of fashion or style; however, there are a few special activities that tend to occur on this holiday. Therefore, one must dress appropriately! Additionally, all of these events are very summer-oriented, so you will probably utilize these outfits more than once.
Just remember, Memorial Day isn't about fashion and fun in the sun- it's really about acknowledging all of the service men and women who have made sacrifices in order to protect our rights and freedoms in this country, so while you are out (looking fabulous) make sure you remember what the Day is really for!
Here on the West Coast, bbq-ing by the pool is probably one of our most popular Memorial Day festivities. I usually wear my bikini under a dress or a cover-up of some sort so I can relax poolside. If this is what you'll be doing, remember your sunscreen and pool/sun-friendly beauty products (waterproof mascara, etc.) and bring a big tote to haul it all around in. Additionally, if you are going to an afternoon pool party and will be having bbq as more of a dinner than a lunch, I recommend throwing a cardigan in your tote bag, too!
For a neighborhood potluck, expect to see a wide mix of people (your neighbors with their 4-year-old triplets, the retired couple next door, etc.) so dress appropriately! You don't want to embarrass your parents by looking like a slob or showing too much skin. Keep your outfit somewhat conservative, but also take into consideration that you will probably end up running around with the little rascals at the party, or maybe even participating in a relay race. Keep it simple and comfy with shorts, sandals or flats, and a t-shirt.
There are tons of festivals going on around the country in celebration of Memorial Day. This means a lot of walking, maybe some food tasting, riding rides, viewing a show or two, and more! This outfit needs to last you for an entire day of being out-and-about. So I recommend cute sneakers and an overall comfortable-meets-casual vibe. For more on what to wear in situations like this, see our articles What to Wear to a Music Festival, and What to Wear to an Amusement Park.
What are your plans for Memorial Day? Have you been celebrating already this weekend? If so, what have you been up to (and what did you wear)? Let us know by leaving comments below!

Q: Retrieve realm object equal to UUID Hopefully a quick one that I'm stuck on.
I'm passing a UUID String through a segue to the next VC.  This is definitely working because I am printing it on viewDidLoad.
What I want to do is retrieve the object with that UUID (workoutID).  I'm getting a crash of :
"Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'Invalid value', reason: 'Expected object of type string for property 'workoutID' on object of type 'WorkoutSessionObject', but received: 0'"
When i try run the code below which I've adapted from other search related questions (I'm finding querying realm quite difficult to get my head round) :
class WorkoutSummaryController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
    // Holder for my UUID passed via Segue which is working
    var workoutID = UUID().uuidString

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        print(workoutID)

        // Set up the query to retrieve the object with the UUID that has been passed
        let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "workoutID = %A", workoutID)

        // Run the query and print the result which crashes
        let test = try! Realm().objects(WorkoutSessionObject.self).filter(predicate)
        print (test)
        super.viewDidLoad()
    }
}

Any help appreciated :-)

A: Your NSPredicate format is flawed. You should be using %@ for substituting variable's and %K for keypaths.
let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "workoutID = %@", workoutID)

Sadistic Metal Reviews- Mendacious Stork Edition (End of 2015 Series)
by Staff on January 5, 2016
One list of albums dictated by the masses of sheeple apparently does not provide enough self-indulgence and emotional masturbation for the hordes of mental weaklings that yearn to be called metalheads in order to disguise their lack of direction or ideals. Hence, here we are, clubbing away at one of these sorry piles of shit for the amusement of hessians. However, we also hope that the attentive unawakened reader may start to see a glimpse of the truth through outright disrespect for the inherently contemptible. (We have skipped some items in the original list as to not incur in much unnecessary repetition of releases, thus the odd numbering of the items herein.)
2. Swallow the Sun – Songs From The North I, II & III
The term "doom metal" is again used to justify slow-coming boredom and lack of originality. Swallow the Sun compile alternative metal slow and simple grooves with the alternation of growls and the clear vocals typical of post-cuckolded Amorphis Scandinavian gay 'hard' (ha!) rock. There is an obvious pseudo-progressive intent here as discreet radio moments pass us by in a series of haphazardly-stitched, disingenuous grimaces. Radio emotional pandering for the pretentious.
3. Draconian – Sovran
Apparently radio gay doom is popular at MS' website. Only here we have a much more straightforward, perhaps more honest, attempt at the same run-of-the-mill pop rock opera. Draconian switches between male and female vocals, with duet episodes, themselves interrupted by long harmonized guitar lines reminiscent, at least superficially, of Funeral's early work. However, Tragedies did not fall into popisms and rather took a more traditional popular music approach to vocals and applied it to a quasi classical level which may make one think of European early music. Draconian, on the other hand, stink of Barbie sex.
4. Shape of Despair – Monotony Fields
Mediocre and dull 'doom metal' seems to be extremely popular. It may be that since the average music listener is a terrible one, and that they seek these sounds as stimulus for a purely sensual experience and so can only identify with very simple-minded works, however contorted their outward forms may be. Shape of Despair provide the pop listener with the 'doom metal' experience in the same way that Cannibal Corpse provides him the 'death metal' experience. Of course, this is the sort of listener that "listens to all kinds of music". All is imbecility.
5. Galneryus – Under the Force of Courage
One day little guitar Syu wanted to find a place for his neoclassical wanking and so created the power metal band Galneryus. Galneryus released a couple of comically-endearing and childish albums until the inevitable sellout moment came. After trying their hand at pandering to a more mainstream audience and wisely switching to writing lyrics in Japanese (realizing, perhaps that their main market was inside Japan after all, and that foreign fans would always be attracted to the sound of a strange and unique language), the band took a wide turn back to a firmly European style inspired on the likes of Manowar-inspired streamlined power metal with augmented structures that balance a manner of unpredictability without ever feeling unsafe and, of course, always remaining singable. Clever and winky, empty as fanservice-crammed anime.
8. Leprous – The Congregation
Groovy, syncopated, modulations disguising poorly-presented repetition, weird clean vocals, just enough electronic noodling and laid-back but 'cool' drums. This is the recipe par excellence for the multiculturalist wet dream presenting all forms and nothing but insecurity and hollowness at its center. Here is where the worst overproduced radio pop is peppered with jazz fusion gimmicks. Metal? Music or public obscenity?
9. Moonspell – Extinct
A horrible blend of modern industrial tropes and a sissy euro-rock basis, accompanied vocals angsty enough to seem edgy but just safe enough as to not scare away the wimps who listen to this garbage. The high school poser solos do not really redeam this first-world, spoiled-kid, macho pretension.
14. Enshine – Singularity
Basically, the sonic representation of the sparkly, clean-shaven assholes of fans of these music ready to be sodomized by real metal music. Lacking in all natural self-assertion or distinct personality, this is music for the bottom who craves to be dominated. In other words, music for social justice warriors.
15. Cattle Decapitation – The Anthropocene Extinction
This is as ridiculous as pseudo-progressive core pandering can get. What is worse, this band is playing a dangerous game in which they may lose all of their audiences, or perhaps score with New York hipsters. Crammed in under two minutes you may find explicit deathcore and alternative rock passages, power metal leads, nu-black metal runs lead by duets of inhaled low growls and Chester Bennington's evil twin brother's whining, without excluding the use of high squeals. Basically, a puddle of diarrhea that clearly gives away the cause of ailment. Unbearably disquieting in its stupidity.

vOddy says:
Would real metal fuck this, though?
I know that almost every one has a sex drive, but I don't like the idea of fucking unworthy people. They don't deserve the pleasure. They don't even deserve to give me pleasure.
I don't look down on respectable people who fuck unrespectable ones because they are horny. I understand that behaviour, and I have considered doing it myself when offered the sex. But I don't do it with people who I don't respect. Well, I don't have to deeply respect the woman, but I at least have some standards.
This music seems to be way below those standards.
If Darkthrone was a woman, then even if she wasn't physically attractive, I'd fuck her if she wanted me to. She deserves it.
If Metallica was a woman, I'd fuck her. Some decent albums and a lot of garbage, but it's not all bad.
If In Flames was a woman, I'd be on the fence. Penis says yes, mind says no. If she wouldn't look good then it would be out of the question, because her nature is iffy. Even at her best she's not all that good, although she has her moments of not being utterly repulsive.
If Blackveil Brides was a woman, then I'd tell her to piss off.
I blew my head off like Per Ohlin says:
What would be the wife?
I was thinking Demilich.
There are many candidates.
Probably all taken.
OliveFox says:
I would be sad if people stopped making stupid Power Metal.
SomberSun says:
Doom Metal bands all seem to try and sound like My Dying Bride for some reason. I don't dislike MDB, but they're not good enough to be emulated, and there's nothing you could really take from them and build upon.
Aside from Cathedral and Ras Algethi, there aren't any bands that could be described as Doom Metal that have created anything of great value.
If not for DMU i'd never have heard of Ras Algethi, either. So thanks.
Oh, and Candlemass of course.
Skepticism. You forgot them.
Terry Gordy says:
The Moonspell cover is absolutely hideous, shame on them.
LostInTheANUS says:
They used that style of cover for years now, it reminds me of the shitty covers Septicflesh used ever since that pile of shit that was Revolution DNA, they even changed the covers on rereleases of their old albums back when they were known as Septic Flesh to this nu-industrial looking garbage. Don't know what the fuck got into Spiros, I wouldn't be surprised if he was behind this.
Esoptron was a fantastic atmospheric heavy metal album, even with the mongoloid drum machine.

‹ Common Law & Statute "Law"
An unspoken war on the Common Law
Discuss the difference between Common Law and the Statutory Acts made by the Powers that be, (PTB)
by holy vehm » Tue Mar 26, 2013 10:05 pm
Spiked -
England's rights-respecting Common Law is being shunted aside by new forms of
arbitrary, inquisitorial power. It's time for a fightback.
For centuries, jurists have argued that the English Common Law is the best for liberty. In the fifteenth century, the judge Sir John Fortescue wrote that English law is 'not only good but the best' (1), contrasting the public jury trial of the English court with the torture-ridden, summary and secret proceedings on the Continent. In the 1700s, jurist William Blackstone argued that while Continental law fomented 'arbitrary and despotic power', the Common Law preserved the liberty of 'even the meanest subject' (2).
This wasn't just national vanity; the French agreed. Montesquieu held England up as the 'one nation in the world which has political liberty as the supreme object for its constitution' (3), while Voltaire wrote that 'the English are the only people on earth who have been able to prescribe limits to the power of kings by resisting them' (4).
How times have changed. The realm of the Common Law abounds with laments about the loss of 'fundamental freedoms' and 'age-old liberties'. In The Assault on Liberty, barrister and MP Dominic Raab identified a 'tectonic shift in the relationship between the state and the citizen', which is 'inflicting lasting damage on the very bedrock of what it means to be British'. Conservative MP David Davis resigned his Commons seat in protest against the 'insidious, surreptitious and relentless erosion of fundamental British freedoms'.
Our Common Law cousins in America complain of the same problem. In The Tyranny of Good Intentions, Paul Craig Roberts and Lawrence M Stratton chart the steady 'erosion of the rights of Englishmen' on American soil (5). While law once provided protection for the individual against the arbitrary power of the state, they argue, law now furnishes a weapon for the powerful to use as they please. In The Collapse of American Criminal Justice, William J Stuntz says the rule of law has 'collapsed': 'Official discretion rather than legal doctrine or juries' judgements came to define criminal justice outcomes.' (6)
Indeed, we have reached the situation where British citizens arguably now find themselves with fewer legal protections than their Continental peers against the arbitrary power of the state, which would have been unthinkable to the likes of Blackstone or Montesquieu. What befell the Common Law?
Bypassing the court
One major shift has been a bypassing of the court, in favour of various forms of summary or concessionary justice. This is an historic change: Blackstone described trial by jury as 'the glory of English law', and the public jury trial became the primary form of trial in the twelfth century, a time when Continental Europe was developing an inquisitional system based on the free use of torture. Medieval English courts enjoyed significant popular legitimacy, and people were accustomed to 'go to the law' to defend their rights (7).
Yet now, in both Britain and America, the justice system is increasingly geared towards avoiding the court at all costs. In America the impartial jury trial has become a rarity, with some 95 per cent of criminal cases decided in advance by plea bargaining (where the defence agrees to plead guilty, and avoid a trial, in exchange for concessions). As Roberts and Stratton outline, the legal process becomes a stitch-up between defence and prosecution, and the court appearance a mere formality. Innocent defendants may be pressured to settle, and indeed the innocent sometimes 'roll a lot easier' than the guilty. Meanwhile, guilty defendants may confess to a more minor offence to avoid more serious charges, which amounts to 'having people admit to what did not happen in order to avoid charges for what did happen'.

"A ruler who violates the law is illegitimate. He has no right to be obeyed. His commands are mere force and coercion. Rulers who act lawlessly, whose laws are unlawful, are mere criminals".

Return to Common Law & Statute "Law"


Since 2010, the Inbound Marketing Squad (IMS) has been creating content marketing strategies for SaaS, clean tech, and high tech companies. IMS uses native English-speaking journalists, marketers, graphic designers, photographers, actors, and videographers to meet their clients' needs.
With its clients and creative talent located all over the world, managing the creation of high-end marketing content is a tad complicated. While efficient collaboration is desirable, its clear communications that makes all the difference in keeping clients, and its creative team, happy and productive. Without great communications to nourish collaboration, no amount of efficiency will result in producing content that does what it's supposed to — engage people.
Typically once a strategy has been agreed upon with a client, the campaigns' offers are defined. Most of the time, offers are designed to meet a buyer persona's information needs at each stage of the marketing funnel. Those information offers might include one or more of the following formats: infographics, videos, checklists, guides, ebooks, white papers, blog posts, etc.
Each information format has its unique needs. Subject matter / creative experts are pulled from among IMS stable of journalists, scriptwriters, designers, etc. and are led by an account manager, who guides them and the client through the development, approval, and publishing processes.
IMS had tried several project management systems, none of which really satisfied their needs. Most were too rigid — they couldn't easily adjust processes to fit IMS clients' needs. Those systems that were more flexible, were so complicated, feature-bloated, and difficult to use, that it wasn't worth the expense to learn.
In the end, IMS resorted to using Google Drive with Sheets, Docs, and Mail to manage editorial calendars, post/share files, and brainstorm / problem-solve / communicate. IMS account managers were spending an inordinate amount of time problem-solving over issues that were the result of conversations not keeping up with or being attached to, the content being produced. This created miscommunications, which in turn created conflict and confusion. All of which ate away at IMS' margins with more revisions and out-of-scope work to pacify clients.
When IMS was introduced to Samepage, it was love at first sight. In minutes IMS project managers were able to set up pages for clients with their projects, share them with talent, assign tasks, and edit documents without losing the history of changes. They began communicating exclusively with clients via Samepage's comments feature. No more chasing emails trying to figure out who requested what changes or why. No more wondering which document was the latest version. No more miscommunications about who did what, or why, or wondering when something was due.
All source materials were stored with the project page, regardless of what type of file format, or where they were being kept. And best of all, IMS was able to easily manage projects without making clients, or IMS talent, jump through hoops. Samepage was so flexible and easy-to-use, that clients have come to enjoy working with IMS in Samepage.
Samepage helped Inbound Marketing Squad improve its processes to be flexible, seamless, and efficient. Samepage lets IMS' talent focus on what they do best, rather than struggling with the mechanics of day-to-day task management. And clients? IMS clients are delighted to have such an easy-to-use application that keeps their content projects moving forward painlessly. Clients go to their different project pages, ask questions, make comments, share additional resources, and just by reviewing their Samepage news feed, get an immediate idea of the project's status.
Best of all, Inbound Marketing Squad's margins have improved, its talent is delighted at how much simpler and faster it is collaborate so easily, and best of all —no one has had to give up their favorite content creation tools. When you manage creative talent, sometimes it's the simplest things that make the biggest difference.

6 ways Oppo Find N2 Flip will blow the competition apart
Oppo Find N2 Flip isa> one of the two new folding smartphone models announced by the company during the last INNO DAY. Although the launch was dedicated exclusively to the Chinese market, the brand has already communicated that the device will cross national borders to reach Europe at a later time.
Precisely for this reason we wanted to stop for a moment and analyze closely what are the strengths of Oppo Find N2 Flip. Furthermore, we want to explain how the clamshell foldable of late 2022 can really shake up a market that is practically stagnant at the moment.
1. Bigger external screen
Observing Oppo Find N2 Flip, the first thing you surely notice is the unusual arrangement of the large external screen. This display is positioned vertically instead of horizontally and, according to Oppo, makes using the smartphone when closed much more comfortable and intuitive.
Unlike the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4, where the external screen is only used for basic operations and as a viewfinder for the camera, Oppo uses an approach more similar to that of the Motorola Razr 2022, leaving the user with greater freedom of action.
Speaking in technical terms, the AMOLED panel of Find N2 Flip it has a diagonal of 3.26″ and a resolution of 382×720 pixels. We are faced with a much larger and more useful area of use if compared to the 2.7″ of the Motorola foldable and the only 1.9″ of the Samsung Flip.
2. More basic internal memory
And speaking of technical specifications, we cannot fail to dwell on an aspect that is very important for users: Oppo Find N2 Flip arrives on the market with a basic internal memory cut of 256GB, exactly double its two main competitors mentioned above which start at 128GB.
Having a large internal memory is essential to be able to download all your favorite apps and games, as well as to always keep all the photos and videos of your best moments with you. Obviously, the greater the internal memory, the more photos and videos you can take in high definition with your smartphone before being forced to make room by eliminating less important things.
3. Competitive cameras
As we have just mentioned, the large internal memory allows Oppo Find N2 Flip to record many videos and take a very large number of photos. However, no one wants to keep bad quality shots in the memory of their smartphone. Oppo knows it well, after all, the brand has a long tradition of products focused on offering the best possible photographic experience.
That's why the clamshell foldable has been equipped with a 32MP front camera, positioned in a hole in the internal display, and a main camera with a 50MP sensor. The latter can also be used to take even higher quality selfies or photos with friends using the FlexForm mode, i.e. placing the device on a flat surface and adjusting the hinge to the desired shooting angle!
4. Bigger battery…
It's strange to imagine, talking about such a compact product, but do you know that Oppo Find N2 Flip has the biggest battery ever for a product of this type? And earns the first position in this specific ranking even by a considerable margin!
The two batteries of Oppo Find N2 Flip combined have a capacity of 4300mAh. The clamshell smartphone that comes closest to this value is the Huawei P50 Pocket, which however stops at just 4000mAh, about 7.5% less. This is followed by the Samsung Flip with 3700mAh and the Motorola foldable with 3500mAh.
5. …and faster charging
However, Oppo did not limit itself to equipping its Find N2 Flip with the battery higher capacity, Oppo's foldable smartphone is also the fastest charging product in its category! Oppo's SuperVOOC fast charging system reaches 44W of maximum power via USB Type-C cable, while the opponents are limited to 25W (Samsung), 30W (Motorola) and 40W (Huawei).
6. Less visible fold
The company has learned a lot from the experience with the first generation Oppo Find N and has applied the findings for the redesign of the hinge. The second generation Flexion Hinge has a design that gives the internal display support when opened for a virtually invisible fold.
Finally, when closed, Oppo's hinge allows the display to fold into a "teardrop" configuration which helps reduce crease formation over time and leaves no gaps between the two halves of Oppo Find N2 Flip.


Have you installed the 2015.0.1 update?
I have the latest macos installed and the latest PS2015.
Check the Photoshop version in Help -> System Info.
Yes, sometimes the Creative Cloud app fails to notify you of updates.
So far, I can't reproduce this on my systems.
Certain font management plugins modify the saved file, and have been known to cause hangs/freezes when they do.


The technology developed by CO2 Solutions allows businesses to capture the carbon gas they emit and then reuse or sell it to interested Quebec and Canadian companies. The solution offers businesses a way to reduce their GHG emissions, reaching emissions targets without losing their competitiveness and even generate additional revenue.
Quebec is falling behind in its GHG emissions reduction target of 37.5 per cent by 2030. An awareness campaign, created by Jazz Marketing Communications for CO2 Solutions and its partners, is currently running throughout Quebec to sensitize business leaders and invite them to take a stand and join this new carbon economy. The video can be viewed here.
This revolutionary method to capture CO2 uses an enabling enzyme just like the human lung. By imitating nature, CO2 Solutions has streamlined the capturing process. The CO2 produced is +99.95 per cent pure and zero toxic waste is generated.
An initial commercial capture unit using CO2 Solutions' enzyme technology is being built at Produits Forestiers Résolu in Saint-Félicien, Que. The CO2 captured at the paper plant will be reused year round by nearby Serres Toundra greenhouses in order to shorten the growing time of cucumbers. This initiative represents a tangible example of how the application of carbon capture technology can support the local economy in a very real way.
