The International Network of Parliamentarians on Tibet (INPaT) deployed a team of 22 members in its Tibetan Election Observation Mission (TEOM) to Europe, South Asia and North America and observe the final Tibetan election-day on 20 March, 20111. Today we release the Final TEOM Mission Report titled, "Historic Elections of Tibetan Institutions in Exile are Deemed Free and Fair Despite Many Challenges". The full text of the report, which includes an assessment of the observation and recommendations, can be found here) While taking note of the results of the elections, which were announced on 27 April, 2011 by the Tibetan Election Commission of the Tibetan Government in Exile in Dharamsala, India, INPaT TEOM wishes to congratulate the KalonTripa-elected Dr. Lobsang Sangay and all elected members of the 15thTibetan Parliament in Exile and to acknowledge the support received from all Tibetan institutions in exile, from Tibetan NGOs and individuals, and from candidates with whom TEOM members were able to hold consultations. INPaT TEOM, deems the elections held on March 20, 2011 all over the world, as free and fair, and in its recommendations to the newly elected 15th Tibetan Parliament in Exile, urges it to further improve the Tibetan democratic system by reviewing the electoral laws to reflect general international standards and recommendations, including those submitted by the Tibetan Election Commission. timely and proper vote counting procedures, including counting of ballots, should be carried out at each polling station and at the central level in the presence of independent observers and representatives from all candidates. While recognizing logistical problems, with today's technology, the count should be completed within 2-3 days and made public immediately after; appropriate electoral financing rules should be instituted, reflecting the best international standards, including limits on donations and expenditures and the mandatory public disclosure of all contributions received by the candidates (with a minimum threshold to be indicated); the promotion of more women candidates is a desirable goal and rules should be amended to achieve this goal, including availability of resources; rules regarding voting rights of monks and nuns and about regional voting need to be updated to reflect the evolution of Tibetan society in exile over the last decades; in fact, the current electoral system for the election of the Tibetan Parliament in exile produces the peculiar effect that, while secular Tibetans vote either for 10 or 2 candidates depending on the region they belong to or where their family comes from, monks and nuns have 2 additional votes to elect the representatives of their religious school; in many polling stations, long line-ups resulted in voting delays of2/3 hours or more. Provision of appropriate resources will reduce this problem, with additional election officials at polling stations; all candidates should be requested to submit their opinions to the Parliament on how to improve the process; use of bilingual ballot papers in the countries where young Tibetans born in exile might not be capable of reading the Tibetan language should also be provided; As a final consideration TEOM wishes to note that the proposal made by His Holiness the Dalai Lama to the Tibetan Parliament in Exile on March 10, 2011, to amend the Tibetan Charter concerning his institutional and political functions, is in line with international democratic standards concerning the separation between the role of religious authorities and of political institutions.

Could you paraphrase the passage that discusses the intelligence of crows and their ability to connect with humans? Answer according to: Do you notice how often you spot a crow? I do, and lately it's been alot! When I was in Canada last week, we stopped off on the side of the road to get a gorgeous view of the inlet and mountains near Squamish. After we parked the car and walked around a bit, I noticed a very large crow in the parking lot, I was blown away by how large and relaxed it was. It could've been a crow. Either way, I couldn't get over the beauty of this black bird. The natives of the Pacific Northwest revered the crow, as do many cultures. They are prominent in the totem poles and mythology of the Squamish natives. Perhaps one of the most amazing qualities of the crow family of birds is how incredibly intelligent they are, and I do believe this is the major reason why they figure prominently in mythology. Crows remember and connect with us, such as the little girl that kept bringing a crow food so the crow in return brought gifts for the little girl. They can carry messages across long distances - distances as far as death. What has your interaction been with the crow? Has it been positive or negative? Or do you simply revere it's intelligence and beauty?

In this paper, we develop an agent-based multi-layered interbank network model based on a sample of large EU banks. The model allows for taking a more holistic approach to interbank contagion than is standard in the literature. A key finding of the paper is that there are non-negligible non-linearities in the propagation of shocks to individual banks when taking into account that banks are related to each other in various market segments. In a nutshell, the contagion effects when considering the shock propagation simultaneously across multiple layers of interbank networks can be substantially larger than the sum of the contagion-induced losses when considering the network layers individually. In addition, a bank “systemic importance” measure based on the multi-layered network model is developed and is shown to outperform standard network centrality indicators. (...) "Huge efforts are underway now to make sure as many countries as possible hold the line and compensate for America's withdrawal by redoubling their efforts. How far this goes, I have my doubts," said Dennis Snower, president of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a leading German think tank advising the European Commission ahead of the summit meeting. "It doesn't look good," Mr. Snower said. "It does not look like we are going to have 19 countries and the United States against."

Launched on November 7, 2007 [1], Hitmen for Destiny is a quirky, action-fantasy webcomic with themes of power and corruption, love and sex, and zoology. It chronicles the combined fates of Anette Iversland, a modern girl who is prophesied to commit some number of great deeds with the help of a magical sword, and of Fusk and Vorte, two agents of a mysterious organization, whose chronic incompetence sets the events of the story into motion. In between violent confrontations with monsters and villains, and complicated situational checkmates that snowball out of control, the story occasionally veers into pop-culture parody and nightmare visions. One of the most striking aspects of Hitmen for Destiny is its use of surprisingly detailed MSPaint art, filled with clashing, vibrant colors and surreal landscapes and character designs; One of the most intrigueing aspects of Hitmen for Destiny is it's use of monsters, each with their own unique biology and evolutionary adaptations explained in detail. One purpose of this wiki is to catalogue each of the species referred to in the comic.

How do you prepare the artichokes before roasting them? Generate according to: Goodness! The weekend is almost over and I can’t believe I have deprived you of this insanely simple recipe all week long. Baby artichokes keep popping up at Whole Foods, so obviously we needed to douse them in Conscious Coconut oil. But really, its just in time because artichokes are full of antioxidants and promote liver health. So by ‘just in time,’ I mean.. the time after you may have punished your liver all weekend with Rose’ and Moscow Mules. Speaking of which.. these go great with a Bordeaux Rose’. Peel back all of the dark hearty leaves until you get to the pale green ones in the center. OR if you really like eating with your hands, leave a few hearty leaves so you can scrape the flesh close to the stem away with your teeth (what I love about eating artichokes, really). When you quarter the hearts, inspect for any ‘choke.’ If any is visible, be sure to scrape away. Rinse, trim, and quarter about 5 – 7 baby artichokes. Toss in a bowl of chilled water with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Drain the artichokes after they have all been cut. Toss all ingredients together an roast in the oven for 15- 20 minutes, or until fork tender. Garnish with a squeeze of lemon and enjoy!

Also kind of marveling at how many tiny babies have their ears pierce. My daughter is 11 months old now (holy shit) and I would still absolutely not do it. Maybe when she's about 3.. The purpose of the grant proposal is to secure the grant. So they'll put a name on the front that will give the proposal the best chance of being accepted. Maybe, nobody cares who actually wrote the grant. You get a bit obsessed with your work being recognised. This is a lot like the puzzle gluing. I guess if you feel a sense of ownership over your work, and desire positive attention and recognition for it, maybe try like pole dancing or stand up comedy or something, the feedback will be more immediate. After making that suggestion I just went back and found that yes, the recording my friend sent me, of my first and failed attempt at stand up, is still in my email inbox. I can't listen to it tonight, because I already feel terrible about everything I've managed to not achieve with my life. But you know. It's mine and nobody can take that away from me. i don't know if you've ever used a grant submission portal or submitted one yourself, but the title of the person doesn't matter, just the content. lots of smaller non-profits looking for funding don't even have an official grant writer. any foundation worth a shit doesn't look at a name to decide whether to fund. what happened to me is straight up plagiarism in the truest sense of the word. i'm not so easily discouraged, though, and don't intend on stripping or giving up and joining a church band just yet. in hindsight it was a learning experience of sorts in that i learned to be wary of "ambitious" white women and act accordingly. i should have asked a lot more questions and gotten some stuff in writing. next time. the real issue here is what kind of asshole thinks it's okay to pierce a newborn's ears?! i mean, who is even doing the piercing? it's probably some niece or nephew. very irresponsible! My mom didn't pierce my ears as a child and I never wanted it until I was in 3rd grade and all the girls in my class wore earrings and would constantly ridicule me because of that. Can't believe she offered to let us stay in her house for two weeks (!) after we had all these arguments on Phoria. She is so forgiving. At my elder kid's high school (which he starts next year) it's mandatory to take one modern language and I asked him if he would continue with Mandarin (because he's started that already, both in Sydney and now here) and he surprised me by saying he actually wants to switch, to Japanese. When I asked him why, he said because he loves Japan. And when I pressed him on that, he said it was because he loves Japanese food and Pokemon. I mean WHAT. GIMME A FUCKING BREAK. I'm like...you don't like Japanese food, you like bento and ramen. That's like someone saying they like Chinese food because they like fried rice and dumplings. He just gave this goofy laugh and was like yeah but I still love Japan. I'm like YOU'VE NEVER BEEN TO JAPAN ARGRGHHH Very.....hard. To keep my mouth shut. I think it will be the biggest challenge of having teenagers. Just....keeping my mouth shut. When I want to be like YOU FUCKING IDIOT WHAT ARE YOU DOING Because you know, that's what my parents said to me. And it really hindered my progress as an adult, I have to say. #breakingthecycle He actually mentioned Te Reo but no, sadly as a non-practicing Polynesian my home suburb is a little more potato than kumara this is funny to me because "i love Japan" as well essentially based on slightly more nuanced superficialities, so i totally get where the kid is coming from (btw it's pretty crazy to me he's starting highschool. did the void swallow up a few years?) but frankly, here's what i wish my parents did for me when i ignorantly made bad calls in my life. instead of mentally facepalming, letting him do what he's gonna do, or grilling him, why don't you just level with him and explain that since he already has a great head start on Mandarin, and seeing that it is probably the single best language to learn as a future investment, perhaps it really is the best available option to him (or if you wanna draw blood: "you might regret not having done so later on"). today is the deposition of my former boss and i will attend. if they don't settle today, we go to a jury trial or arbitrator on september 9th. i really hope they settle today cause school starts september 5th. no way. i went the low-income method of securing a lawyer. thanks, free legal clinic, for seeing merit in my claims. me too. anything that involves a judge freaks me out. hopefully i'll work through that one day. my fear of police has basically disappeared, and i even smile at them if we make eye contact now. and we weren't even offered japanese or mandarin as an option when i was in highschool in texas. just spanish, french, german, and asl. and i was not given the freedom to choose by my parents - it was most definitely going to be spanish because that had maybe a shred of use compared to the others. i took it at the collegiate level too, and after a total of about 5 years i can proudly have not even a simple conversation with an actual spanish speaker. i can read it fairly decently, though.

The twelve 45 @-@ calibre 35 @.@ 6 cm ( 14 @.@ 0 in ) Type 41 guns of the Ise class were mounted in three pairs of twin @-@ gun , superfiring turrets . Numbered one through six from front to rear , each turret weighed 655 long tons ( 666 t ) . The hydraulically powered turrets had an elevation capability of − 5 / + 20 degrees . The guns had a rate of fire of 1 @.@ 5 – 2 rounds per minute and could be loaded at any angle between -3 and + 20 degrees . In 1921 the elevation was increased to + 30 degrees and then to + 43 degrees during their mid @-@ 1930s modernization , except for No. 6 turret as its supporting structure could not be lowered . The recoil mechanism of the guns was also changed from a hydraulic to a pneumatic system , which allowed for a faster firing cycle of the main guns .

Mastodonsaurus and other similar animals were referred to as labyrinthodonts , named like Labyrinthodon for teeth that were highly folded in cross section . Owen 's " Labyrinthodon Jaegeri " was later found at Guy 's Cliffe , England by paleontologist William Buckland . Other specimens were found in the red sandstone of Warwickshire . As more fossils were uncovered in England , Owen depicted these labyrinthodonts as the " highest " form of batrachian and compared them to crocodiles , which he considered the highest form of reptiles . He also noted the large labyrinthodonts of the Keuper ( a unit of rocks that dates to the Late Triassic ) were younger than more advanced reptiles in the Magnesian and Zechstein , which are Late Permian in age . Owen used these fossils to counter the notion that reptiles evolved from a sequential progression from early amphibians ( what he called " metamorphosed fishes " ) .

The Austrian fleet formed into an arrowhead formation with the ironclads in the first line , charging at the Italian ironclad squadron . In the melée which followed both sides were frustrated by the lack of damage inflicted by guns , and by the difficulty of ramming — nonetheless , the effective ramming attack being made by the Austrian flagship against the Italian attracted great attention in following years .

So it was a little weird to be feeling as giddy and excited as I was last Saturday when I held Counting Stars by Michele Paige Holmes in my hands. I mean, it wasn't my book. And yet, in some ways, I felt a tiny bit of ownership in it, sort of like a midwife might feel. No, that's not right, either. That implies that I had more to do with the book than I did. Cheerleader, maybe? That's not enough. I watched this baby grow, develop, take its first steps. I feel like its mother, but I'm not. Great aunt, maybe? I tend to wax long when I back-up too far in my stories, but this one goes back a long ways. Bear with me. :) I met Shauna Andreason (hi, lady!) in a social dance class at BYU back in, well, the Jurassic Era, maybe. I had no idea at the time that our husbands had served their missions together. I also didn't know that we'd end up living next door to each other as newly weds. We're still awesome buds and close friends. Fast forward several years: Shauna meets another great friend in her new Provo ward, Michele Holmes, an aspiring writer. At the time, I'm also an aspiring writer. I joined a critique group a few months prior, and thanks to Shauna, Michele and I meet at a League of Utah Writers meeting. Eventually, Michele joins our critique group. We both have a very bumpy ride as we learn (the HARD way) that we aren't that great of writers (okay, to be honest, I had more to learn than she did), we had A LOT to learn about the craft, about how to put a book and characters and a story together. There are times when I've left our meetings frustrated because she's so dang talented and I feel like a hack. (I've even blogged about it, and I'm hereby revealing who MH is.) Our group has morphed and changed over the years. Seven and a half years later, though, we're still plugging along. What started out as mostly wannabes has turned into a group of polished, published writers. Every one of us has sold our work. Heather and I were unknowns when we joined, but we've managed to make pretty darn good names for ourselves in this market, as have Jeff and James. Lynda has sold several stories to the Friend. Lu Ann has regular newspaper columns and has sold articles and other pieces as well, and so on. Michele has consistently wowed me with her talent. She's spent years pursuing national agents and getting fabulous feedback but rejections nonetheless, largely because she doesn't write the in the standard formula. (She's realizing that to GET INTO the national realm, you often have to write that way, and then you can break it, no matter how many agents say they're really looking for something different. Hah. No they're not.) Jeff, Heather, and I (the three of us from the group who publish with Covenant) have spent the last year wooing Michele to the "dark" side (in other words, trying to get her to submit to the LDS market). She finally did. We knew that her talent is so dang amazing that she'd be a shoo-in. Now it's in stores. It's not your typical formula romance. But it IS a romance. A killer of a romance. It's poignant. It's drop-dead hysterically funny. It will make you cry. It has twists you won't see coming (because yeah, it's NOT that formula!). It's different than anything you've ever read in the LDS market. And it's GOOD. (This coming from someone who is notoriously picky in her reading material.) It pushes the envelope just a bit. It's refreshing. It's fun. I've been working like crazy to get my book to press lately, but I've still managed to sneak in a few chapters of her book here and there. Even though I've already READ the thing in critique group (a couple of times) and know exactly what's coming, I still laugh. I still cry. I still shake my head and think, wow, Michele. You are one talented writer. Many thanks, Annette. Though I would beg to differ as to who had more to learn. You are still light years ahead of me, and I'll never dare submit anything without your thorough eyes reading it first. Man, I wish I still lived in UT so maybe I could start hanging around in your circles. Perhaps you could still rub off on me in cyber-world? I've sold two articles to the Ensign, but I have much higher aspirations! Jenna, Seriously, try coming out to the LDStorymakers Writing Conference in March. It's a terrific conference and a GREAT chance to rub shoulders with a bunch of awesome people. I always leave with batteries charged. If you attend, you can then sign-up for an e-mail Storymakers' sister list of aspiring writers so that when you go home, you still have that contact. The next conference is March 21 & 22 in 08 in Sandy. Check out my blog about the last one--Lisa Mangum from Deseret Book was so impressed that any submissions she gets that say they attended jump to the top of her pile.

Clade Limnarchia

Every summer is a headache for Asian students who have almost finished high school as university entrance exams arrive. A good exam score is interpreted as the primary indicator of the students' effort and intelligence as well as teachers' capabilities, efforts and commitment, and schools' facilities and efforts. Examinations, especially the high-stakes university entrance exams, have been constantly criticized as the main reason Vietnamese students do not have enough critical thinking skills. From what I read, the local media describes the test as an "intelligence monster" that "kills young high school graduates' critical thinking skills", "demotivates students to do any (so- called) deep learning" and "forces students to memorize knowledge rather than create their own ideas by linking different ideas." Moreover, some reports describe high school classes as "coaching the previous exam papers" and "lecturing the tested knowledge." They argue that these kinds of test-driven instructions in the classroom, which are often looked upon negatively, are a result of the high-stakes tests. Finally, other experts claim that "classroom time and resources have been wasted on teaching or preparing students for the university entrance exams" because students will never use some of the knowledge again in the future. In short, discussions in the media present the national university entrance exams as a negative and unnecessary educational intervention. Therefore, it could be argued that many of the problems related to students' insufficient critical thinking skills could be solved if the high stakes tests are scrapped. However, fantasizing and blaming the negative impact of the traditional exam system in countries like Vietnam is a cheap, convenient and safe choice. When I say "cheap choice," I mean to say that little empirical evidence has been uncovered to draw such conclusions. Journalists constantly talk about this as if it was a fact. A simple comparative study can tell us that it may not be appropriate to presume that a test may undermine students' development of critical thinking skills. Vietnam is not the only country in Asia that uses students' scores on national university entrance exams for admission purposes. Other Asian countries, such as Japan and South Korea, with better reputations and capabilities in technological innovation, have much more competitive university entrance examination systems. Take Japan as an example. Its exam system shares many similarities with the Vietnamese one: the test-driven instruction in the final year of high school, a rapidly growing and well established private tutorial industry aiming to help students achieve higher scores, an increasing number of commercial publications investing money in designing and publishing test preparation books and students' extremely high level of stress and low level of motivation for learning. It is therefore hardly convincing that the national university entrance exam is to blame for graduates' insufficient critical thinking skills after graduation. When I say "convenient choice" I mean that without addressing the real problem, discussions in the media seem to simplify the complexity of the problem and merely serve to hastily get a convenient but acceptable answer. So what is the real problem? Well, it would be unrealistic to expect a simple answer in this forum, but what has been missed from previous debates is the content of the exam (not the exam system). One of the fundamental problems here is the inconsistency between the curriculum and exam papers. In other words, the relationship between what has been taught (what needs to be taught) and what has been tested (what should be tested). First of all, it is about the distribution of power. This raises concerns over who actually controls the education system, which has a direct impact on whom the teachers and students should follow. This is not new at all. The inconsistency between teaching curriculum and exams happens almost everywhere to some extent. To address this problem however is not easy. It needs consistent support from the Ministries of Education in the countries that adhere to this style of examination system, in addition to frequent and efficient communication between curriculum development teams and assessment teams. Secondly, if a high level of consistency between curriculum and assessment can be achieved, there would be nothing wrong in teaching to the test strictly and repeatedly, because teaching to the test means teaching the curriculum and preparing the students with the necessary skills for their future jobs. In other words, the problem is the alignment between skills/knowledge for jobs, curriculum and assessments. When I say "safe choice" I mean it is a "mainstream idea" which has been accepted by every stakeholder (including schools, parents and students) but fails to offer a solution based on which actions should be taken. It is amazing how many years the university entrance exams' negative consequences have been discussed and how few actual changes have been made by governments that administer these types of exams. It is a safe answer because all the stakeholders in the system accept the answer and can easily find an excuse for doing nothing to change the situation. It is more likely to be a show performed by all the stakeholders in this game. On one hand, journalists interview the educational experts every year at this time, with educational experts expressing their concerns over the link between tests and students' lack of critical thinking skills. On the other hand, teachers at senior high schools continue their test-driven instruction and students continue their test preparation work. So let's go back to the question in the title. A simple answer is "no". First of all, critical thinking can be taught and assessed. A valid and reliable assessment can be introduced to promote its instruction at classroom level. There is nothing wrong with teaching to a good test. Secondly, the development of critical thinking skills needs a supportive environment where the knowledge is not classified as tested or non-tested, nor defined by a few authorities without challenge from others. At the expense of sounding repetitive, what I mean is that the definition of learning is not to simply identify and memorize tested knowledge that has been defined by a select few "powerful scholars" who remain irreproachable. Therefore, to develop your critical skills, the following tips may be useful to students: "¢ Share and discuss your understanding and interpretation of theories with your colleagues and classmates The best thing about festivals in my opinion (besides the music) is the fashion. I absolutely love to see what other people are wearing and how awesome every one looks. You get all kinds of people at music festivals like WayHome because there is such a diversity in music. I took to pinterest to find some inspiration (except the booties are a DIY from awhile ago): Shoes - I always bring shoes I don't care about, it will be muddy, sweaty and your shoes might get ruined. Especially if you wear sandals, that's why booties are also a good option - a little heel will help you see the stage too. You could DIY a cheap pair like I did here. Chains/Body jewellery - this is where the risk taking will come into play for me. But I love the look of all over jewellery. Flash Tats - these are so fun, I've worn them a few times in the past and its the easy way to wear all over jewellery. No worrying about it tangling in your bag, but you will be wearing it for a few days unless you scrub it off. Sunnies - Bring all the fun sunglasses you can find, mix em up. And embrace the raccoon eyes (unless you have that floppy hat on) I can't wait to see every's outfits and WayHome. And if you want to see what I wear, follow me on Instagram! @rmahxo I have exciting news for all of you! If you have been around my blog for a long time you will know that I once had an Etsy shop. Well, it has had a face lift and now includes chunky knitted blankets. I absolutely love knitting these and gave many away for Christmas gifts! I kept my original shop name (which was also my old blog name) because it is very near and dear to my heart and still applies since I am a Master's student. There are 3 different sizes of blankets to choose from and all are available in 7 different colours. These blankets are so soft and cozy and every time I knit one I always debate keeping it for myself! Hopefully you guys will enjoy them as much as I do and will share them with your friends and family! I know I'm pretty late to the party on this collection but my nails were in seriously bad shape after having gel on and I had to wait until they were grown out enough to be acceptable for pictures (they still look pretty rough though). I have never tried Ceramic Glaze nail polishes before, but they are a super affordable option that you can pick up at Shopper's Drug Mart. And after seeing the gorgeous colours in this collection it will definitely be a brand a check out more often. This collection is limited edition and features 8 shades which I think includes something for everyone. To start, Heavenly is a white iridescent shade that can be layered over other colours in the collection Urbane is a peachy, nude orange with slight shimmer. It's my least favourite in the collection because I think I am too pale for it. Although I do love the shade, I didn't love it on me. Perfect Peony is a beautiful hot coral pink. I love this shade so much, it is definitely my go-to toe nail polish for the summer! Seize the Day is a hot barbie pink. I surprisingly don't own many shades like this so I was excited when I saw this in the collection. Love the opacity and brightness it brings. Impulsive I absolutely loved the look of this in the bottle. That bright orchid colour with little blue shimmer? Gorgeous! But I was hugely disappointed when it dried matte. Great idea, and love that it was included in the collection, but it just looks so much prettier in the bottle. sigh. French Riviera is a bright cobalt blue with a slight shimmer, absolutely add this to your collection if you love your blue nails! And finally, Surf's Up. A super bright aqua that is my spirit colour. I love this colour, no matter how many brands do it, I will always gravitate towards it and this one doesn't disappoint! Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for these at your local Shopper's! They may even be going on clearance soon to make room for Ceramic Glaze's new collection! I'm so in love with Surf's up! I'm with you. I tend to gravitate towards this colour from every brand! So many perfect colours for summer! Surf's Up is my fave- I'm a sucker for a vibrant, cheery blue :) I too was not that thrilled with Impulsive which is why I had to put a shiny top coat over top. The matte just wasn't working for me! A beautiful white wooden decorative rectangular sign perfect for your little one to hold on your wedding day. This beautiful black and white coaster has a lovely quote printed on it. When it rains look for rainbows when it's dark look for stars. This will be every kid's new favourite toy! This little zebra is a wonderful toy and a beautiful piece of furniture. A modern take on the classic rocking horse. Any child would love to ride on this zebra and gorgeous appearance will look great in any child's bedroom or nursery. Available also in pink.

Just so you won't think we're making this up (or in case you did not check out the link in the comment from Citizen Tom to our original post on this subject), here's the pictorial evidence of the blue lighted capitol Christmas Tree — and we thought the governor wanted a "green" state government. With President Obama urgently working on a last-gasp push to ram his government-run health care bill through Congress, and Americans — including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — not knowing all that is contained in the 2,600 page behemoth, it is important that we all get as involved as possible to stop this monstrosity. Getting informed is the first step and tonight offers a high level source of information: Americans for Prosperity is hosting a tele-town hall meeting tonight which features U.S. Representative Mike Pence (R-Ind.). Congressman Pence is the third highest ranking Republican in the House and a leading free-market reformer. He has turned down a run for the open Indiana Senate seat this year because, some suggest, he is considering a presidential run in 2012. Among the topics on the agenda are: The key undecided House members, the likely timeline to be used by Speaker Pelosi, and conservative alternatives along with Rep. Pence's exchanges in recent weeks with President Obama. It starts at 8:00 p.m. Eastern and you can join in toll-free by calling (888) 356-3090 Ext.14326#. Speaking of getting informed, HotAir.com has a post on the latest Rasmussen Poll, which shows 57 percent of Americans oppose ObamaCare. In addition, a majority disapproves of the president's job on the economy. One normally follows the other when you try takeover one-sixth of the economy. About the same time I received the Fimian campaign's e-mail alert trumpeting Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli's endorsement, something that's taken, not unexpectedly, only minutes to create a major political buzz (Washington Post Virginia Politics Blog), I received an e-mail from former Delegate and Republican Party of Virginia Chairman Jeff Frederick. He also endorsed Fimian: . . . join me in supporting Keith Fimian. Keith is a successful small businessman who has literally created hundreds of jobs — just the kind of leader we need today. Plus, unlike others in this race, he is the opposite of a typical Washington Republican/politician — which is exactly the kind of person we need representing us. But most importantly from our perspective, Amy and I are proud to call him a friend who has always stood by us. Note the phrasing "typical Washington Republican/politician." Frederick has no need for certain politicians be they Republican or whatever else. Fimian is facing fellow Republican Pat Herrity for the Republican nomination to face first-term incumbent Democrat Gerry Connolly in Virginia's 11th Congressional district. It is considered a swing district and most likely will be tracked by national pundits to detect any trends for this November's mid-term elections. A GOP pick-up here probably foretells a big national gain for the Republicans. People and Places. Can you find them together in TNG? Looking for people is relatively easy.

When I first started having migraines, people were concerned. I was concerned. I was taken to the doctor, put in a dark room, injected with medication, fussed over. The more people who knew, the better, as far as I was concerned, because that meant a better chance of getting helped. And without exception, whoever I told expressed sympathy. When you tell people you have an illness, that’s often the response: sympathy. They may ask questions about the symptoms, the kinds of medications you’re taking or the kinds of therapies you might be on and whether they’re working. You can talk about side effects of the medications, the efficacy of the treatments in your particular case at that particular time, how your family might be coping with your illness, or how it is affecting your career and your day-to-day life. Put “mental” before “illness” in that paragraph, however, and the conversation changes—if it is started at all. I struggled with obsessive-compulsive disorder all of my life, although I didn’t know the name for it for many years. I knew by 18 that I was an alcoholic and continued to drink for another decade. The stigma surrounding most types of mental illness and addiction almost guarantees that we don’t seek help. And the self-esteem issues from that stigma can be debilitating, especially to children. One of the only differences between physical illnesses and diseases (cancer in all its many forms, diabetes, heart disease) and mental illnesses and disorders (depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, attention deficit disorder) is geography. A child or teenager should be able to tell his parents he has uncontrollable compulsions as easily as he can tell them he has a sore throat. Many if not most mental illnesses are treated similarly to physical illnesses: with medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, diet management. Society’s reaction to mental illnesses has always been another story. Mental illnesses have often been treated as a weakness, a character flaw. A failing. My memoir, Body Punishment: OCD, Addiction, and Finding the Courage to Heal, was written to help start the conversation. I was single and had been in recovery one year. I had not yet discovered antidepressants and was convinced my uncontrollable mood swings and anxiety were just really bad PMS, even though I knew many women with PMS and didn’t know any who did what I did. I plucked out my eyelashes and eyebrows and picked at my face if no hair was available. When I put on my karate uniform for the first time, I weighed 99 pounds. One of the other women in class laughed because she couldn’t pull my size zero skirt up over her thigh. My body was the most recent in a lifetime of changing and often unbearable obsessions. I’d spent the vast majority of my life feeling like a freak because there couldn’t possibly be anybody else on earth who did to herself what I did to myself. There couldn’t be another human being who felt about herself the way I felt about myself. How someone who was so smart could feel that way, act that way and do those things without being able to stop, I could never understand. How could I intellectually rationalize pulling out my own eyelashes? I couldn’t. But if I couldn’t rationalize it, then why couldn’t I stop? Instead I spent my first two decades of life searching for the solution to the indefinable void where my sense of self should have been, and the next decade pretending I didn’t need it. But until I found out what it was, at the embarrassingly late age of 52, I was always looking for something to blame. If I could find it, then maybe I could fix it. I’d felt like an outsider since I was old enough to know what an outsider was, and I needed to know why. All the things I did were so random that I didn’t even know where to begin to find a common thread. And so for almost 40 years I thought I was simply a lightning rod for crazy. But I wasn’t. What I have falls under the heading of obsessive-compulsive disorders. One term. One concept. OCD. Throw in anxiety and addiction—in my case, alcoholism—and it all falls into place. Back then, though—as a kid, through adolescence, puberty, teens, 20s, 30s—all I knew was this: I was a freak, and I was alone. It took me a long time to understand that I can’t treat my mental illness with willpower any more than I can treat my migraines with it—and even longer to realize I shouldn’t have to. I’m hoping that by sharing my story, others will realize it as well. This article is adapted from the memoir Body Punishment: OCD, Addiction, and Finding the Courage to Heal, being published in April by Central Recovery Press of Las Vegas.

To celebrate, The Real Greek will be giving away 100 FREE Vegan Jackfruit Gryos Souvlaki Wraps, a vegan twist on a traditional gyro, packed with fresh tomatoes, red onion, tahini sauce, sweet paprika and jackfruit wrapped in flatbread. There will be 100 Vegan Jackfruit Gyros available on a first come first serve bases from 12pm on Wednesday 4th April (50 wraps) and Thursday 5th April (50 wraps) in Bournemouth, Bristol, Reading and Southampton restaurants. The new menu pays homage to Greece’s rich heritage of vegan cooking and the fresh ingredients found in Greek and Cypriot cuisine. The Vegan Menu will give customers a genuine vegan experience, offering a wider range of vegan dishes including Jackfruit Stifado and Vegan Moussaka. The Real Greek’s 15 Mediterranean Restaurants are proud to present a new vegan menu, inspired by traditional vegan diets common in Greece The Real Greek announces the launch of its Vegan Menu – a first for the restaurants that specialise in delicious fresh Greek food. Created in collaboration with celebrated Greek cook Tonia Buxton, the thirty-item vegan menu pays homage to Greece’s rich heritage of vegan cooking and the fresh ingredients found in Greek and Cypriot cuisine. The new Vegan Menu uses vegan-friendly foods traditional to Greece – such as vine leaves, lentils and spices – to create a menu packed with variety, colour and flavour – designed for vegans and non-vegans alike. The thirty dishes on the menu include Jackfruit Stifado (Greek stew made with delicious slow-cooked jackfruit, hearty button mushrooms, shallots and aniseed), and the Vegan Moussaka (layered potato, seasoned courgette, aubergine and slow-cooked jack fruit mix, cooked with cinnamon for a deep delicious flavour). These recipe developments follow months of mouth-watering research. The Real Greek chefs toured Greece and the UK, speaking to customers about meat-free and dairy-free food, and sampling vegan dishes. The Real Greek present this menu to fulfil the growing demand from customers for a wider choice of flavourful vegan options. This Vegan Menu will give these customers a genuine vegan experience, alongside the restaurant’s main menu. The Real Greek also has a selection of cold vegan meze on the main menu, such as the tangy Beetroot and Lentil Salad, Spicy Walnut and Roasted Red Pepper Dip, and the restaurant’s staple home blended Houmous and Green Pea Fava topped with red onions and tomato. The Real Greek was the first restaurant to include calorie information for each of its dishes on the menu in 2010, The Real Greek’s new Vegan Menu will also list the exact calorie per dish for diners. Christos Karatzenis, Operations Director of The Real Greek, said: “While The Real Greek has always been proud to have a variety of vegan-friendly options on its menu, creating a special dedicated menu was a natural step for us – veganism is ingrained in Grecian history and culture, with the first vegan diet created by philosopher Pythagoras in 550 BCE – it was more than a theory! We’re excited to launch this menu that is a result of listening to our customers, and leaning on tradition, to craft what we believe is one of the most varied and flavoursome vegan menus you’ll find in the UK today.”

Can you suggest a vegetarian entree recipe that uses preserved lemons? Generate according to: Once you've sampled preserved lemons, you'll understand why they've become such a popular and essential ingredient in Moroccan cooking. Here's a list of recipes which call for this tangy, salty, and delightful addition. If you're planning to make your own preserved lemons, be aware that they need a full month to cure before they're ready to use in cooking and salads. Chicken with preserved lemon and olives is perhaps the most popular of Moroccan dishes which use preserved lemons. Along with saffron and ginger, they provide key flavor to this and other tagines. Surprisingly easy to make, lamb with preserved lemon and olives may be prepared with lamb, beef, or ​goat meat. The recipe explains procedures for using a conventional pot or pressure cooker but also links to the preparation method when using a clay or ceramic tagine. Use fresh or preserved lemon in this traditional fish and veggie tagine. A Moroccan marinade called chermoula adds plenty of flavors, but you can make things a bit fiery by adding cayenne or chili pepper. Moroccan spices and preserved lemon transform a head of cauliflower into an exciting side dish full of flavor and color. You might also consider offering it as a light vegetarian entree. Artichoke hearts and bottoms are a favorite vegetable while in season during winter months. For this Moroccan artichoke salad, they're simmered in a tangy sauce with Moroccan spices, garlic, and preserved lemon. Olives add color and flavor. Mallow is a plentiful green in Morocco, but if it's not available in your area you can make this mallow salad with spinach or a mix of greens. This cooked salad boasts incredible flavor. Seasoned with olive oil, garlic, herbs and spices, it should be offered as a dip with wedges of Moroccan bread. Roasted pepper and tomato salad is a popular offering in homes, restaurants and roadside grills. It can be eaten as a dip or used as a sandwich filler along with meats. This version includes a little bit of minced preserved lemon rind for extra flavor. Zesty seasoning and tangy preserved lemons contrast perfectly with the natural sweetness of carrots in this beef or lamb tagine. If you like things fiery, offer a little harissa on the side. Cabbage may not make it onto your shopping list most weeks, but do give this dish of lamb with cabbage a try. It's a surprisingly delicious way to prepare this vitamin-C abundant vegetable. Although many Americans have never tried cardoons, in Morocco they're quite popular, particularly when prepared in this classic tagine recipe with preserved lemons and olives. You may find them at a farmers market if you don't grow them yourself. Cardoon stalks look like giant celery and if you are unfamiliar with them, you will need to know how to clean cardoons to prep them for cooking. Enjoy this tangia marrakchia, often called bachelor's stew. Although you'll sometimes find tangia recipes calling for a conventional pot or pressure cooker, the traditional way to prepare this stewed meat dish is to slow-cook it in an urn-like clay pot called a tangia. If you don't own a tangia, you can use a casserole or other oven-safe dish instead. The addition of preserved lemon is optional but recommended in this chicken dish with nigella seeds. The seeds impart oregano-like flavor and have the added benefit of being very healthy for you. This delicious chicken with potatoes and olives has been a family favorite for many years. Preserved lemon is optional for those who like its tangy, lemony flavor. This tagine with carrots, potatoes, and chickpeas is another veggie-laden tagine that calls for preserved lemons and olives for extra flavor. Use lamb, beef, or goat meat. If using dried chickpeas as most Moroccans do, remember to soak them the night before. This tagine with eggplant is another tagine where preserved lemons are optional but recommended. Meat is stewed with onions, tomatoes, and partially-pared eggplant. The traditional Moroccan seasoning includes ginger, saffron, turmeric, cinnamon, and pepper. Potatoes are a common addition to this classic tagine of lamb and green beans. Beef or goat meat may, of course, be substituted for the lamb. This delicious family meal of lamb or beef with potatoes features kid-friendly potatoes stewed with lamb or beef until tender. Robustly seasoned with Moroccan spices, the sauce is given unique lemony flavor by the addition of preserved lemons. Fragrant, delicious and easy to throw together, this chicken tagine gets baked in the oven rather than being prepared stove top. For casual meals, patates frites are often served right on top!

While using Dante 's terza rima style , the poem continues by describing the Battle of Britain . The image of warfare merges with the depiction of Pentecost , and the Holy Spirit is juxtaposed with the air @-@ raids on London . In the second section , a ghost , representing the poets of the past stuck between worlds , begins talking to the narrator of the poem . The ghost discusses change , art in general , and how humankind is flawed . The only way to overcome the problematic condition of humanity , according to the ghost , is to experience purgation through fire . The fire is described in a manner similar to Julian of Norwich 's writing about God 's love and discussed in relationship to the shirt of Nessus , a shirt that burns its wearer . Little Gidding continues by describing the eternalness of the present and how history exists in a pattern . The poem concludes by explaining how sacrifice is needed to allow an individual to die into life and be reborn , and that salvation should be the goal of humankind .

Each year Diwali is celebrated with happiness and devotion, But Diwali is incomplete without the worship of Maa luxmi. Maa luxmi is the reigning deity of this festival. Know about Worship tips for Diwali based on your zodiac sign. Keywords: experience of spaces, small cities as an art scene, image of movies in a cinematography, avant-garde movies, russian and finnish cinematography The thesis including the written part and the Visual Project investigates the questions of the invented and real spaces, focusing on the small city as a unique cultural environment and exploring the interrelations between the stranger and unfamiliar surroundings. Basing on the concept of a small city, I connect my own experience with examples from the movies,videos,documentaries. Collaborative Visual Project and the written part of the thesis together answer the questions that interest me. In the thesis I define the position of a stranger and experience of being an «other». Documentaries, movies and videos that depict the city space from different aspects support my views on the experience of being a stranger. I combined examples of different genres for the written part: movies, installations, documentaries to show the versatile answers for the study question. Experimental documentaries created the narrative and an ambiance. Kabakov’s installations show how the personal involvement merges with the question of being a stranger. Movies analyze and create visual descriptions of the small cities. The combination of the Russian and Finnish movies invent a dialogue as well and new perspective on the question of the space. Each year, AAMCO holds a competition among its franchisees for the American auto repair franchise’s prestigious President’s Club Awards. Franchisees are evaluated based on 15 key performance indicators over four major categories, including business growth, training and education, customer satisfaction and brand standards. AAMCO CEO and President Brett Ponton discusses how AAMCO will become the premier brand for Total Car Care nationwide. AAMCO recently flew this year’s President’s Club Award winners — chosen from among AAMCO’s nearly 700 centers — to Cancun, Mexico, where they were honored at a special gala for their dedication and tireless efforts to the success of the AAMCO brand. “We’re very proud to honor the 2015 President’s Club recipients,” says Brett Ponton, CEO and President of American Driveline and AAMCO Transmissions Inc. “These owners and their centers represent our brand’s commitment to integrity and define all that it stands for. “At AAMCO, our goal is to provide customers with outstanding customer and automotive repair service, and it’s because of the dedication exemplified by these individuals — along with the rest of our network of franchise owners — that we can continue to uphold our company’s strong industry reputation.” Among those honored was John Summers, who was named the Grand Champion of the 2015 President’s Club. John, a longtime AAMCO franchisee, turned his three-bay service center in Louisville, Kentucky, into a 10-bay facility after nearly a decade of business growth. In addition to running his center, the franchise owner actively supports his community with donations and sponsorships that go toward college scholarships for local high school seniors. “It’s truly an honor to receive this distinguished recognition,” John says. “One of the key attributes of a successful business is creating a work environment that empowers employees to form a strong team and work together toward a common goal. AAMCO’s proven business model provides its franchisees with the ongoing support and the necessary tools to foster this kind of business culture.” At the gala, AAMCO also honored the President’s Club Divisional, Regional and Best New Center Owner recipients. With nearly 700 centers across North America, AAMCO is actively seeking single- and multi-unit operators who are passionate about the brand and committed to providing the highest-quality service With a 50-year history as the leading brand for transmission repair, the AAMCO franchise has retained its well-earned reputation by strengthening its business model and making significant investments to maximize profitability for its franchisees. This commitment to AAMCO franchise owners stems from the fact that several members of the AAMCO corporate team have been franchisees. Before joining the brand, AAMCO CEO and President Brett Ponton was CEO of Heartland Automotive, the largest Jiffy Lube franchisee in North America, operating nearly 575 units across the country. Brett’s earlier experience as a franchisee is at the core of how AAMCO operates as a franchisor. “Our core focus as a franchisor is to ensure that we have a profitable business model for our franchisees,” Ponton said. “As a former franchisee myself, I know that the two most important things about running a business are 1) earning a profit and 2) increasing the equity of the investment made to franchise with AAMCO. This is what I think about from the very first moment that I wake up in the morning, and it’s the reason AAMCO has made substantial investments on behalf of our franchisees — to simplify our business model and to educate our owner-operators and their teams to ensure that AAMCO centers remain the industry’s experts in Total Car Care and transmission repair.” AAMCO doesn’t require its franchisees to have automotive experience before franchising with them, but it still is of paramount importance that the brand grows its reputation as the industry’s technical experts in Total Car Care, just as it has in transmission repair. AAMCO’s expertise in fixing the most complicated part of the car has made it a household name for the past 50 years, and AAMCO’s Total Car Care offering helps position the brand’s franchise owners to compete for a significant share of the $57 billion general automotive repair market, according to IBISWorld research. “We create value for franchisees primarily by doing two things: 1) Help them improve bottom lines results, and 2) Help them create long-term enterprise value in their business and the investment our franchisees made in our brand,” Ponton said. “We wrap ourselves around the franchisees: we’re talking about operational support, marketing support, administrative support, recruitment help — because our mission in life is pretty clear. We need to support the people on the front lines of our business: the auto repair franchise owners who are operating the business every day, who have the pleasure and the fortune of serving the millions of consumers AAMCO has the pleasure to take care of year in and year out.” At AAMCO University, the brand’s state-of-the-art training and educational facility, AAMCO auto repair franchise owners and their teams of technicians receive 250 hours of training, as well as 200 hours of online coursework in every aspect of their business. Training topics range from customer care to center growth strategies, from leadership to quality control and key performance indicators. AAMCO’s top-of-the-line programs and equipment have provided consistent benefit to franchisees, staff and loyal customers who trust the AAMCO name like no other in the automotive world. Franchise owners can work with our expert instructors in more than 300 courses ranging from basic shop safety to master-level diagnostics and transmission rebuilding. These modules are offered in classroom, online and interactive settings. AAMCO is the undisputed leading brand in transmission work. To help AAMCO franchise owners get a bigger slice of the $57 billion general automotive repair market, the brand launched its “Trust” campaign to expand the public’s perception of what AAMCO can do. After all, if AAMCO is trusted to fix the most complicated part of a car, the brand can surely change our customers’ oil, fix their brakes and rotate their tires. When AAMCO made the decision to get into Total Car Care, the brand knew that it had to make its business model simpler. Rather than hiring a specialized transmission builder, AAMCO franchise owners can now purchase a high-quality remanufactured transmission from the Global Powertrain Systems state-of-the-art transmission remanufacturing facility. AAMCO can get a remanufactured transmission to over 70% of its franchisees the next day. This gives AAMCO franchisees immediate access to a vertically integrated supply chain with preferred pricing on our core transmission category, and helps AAMCO franchisees keep their costs low while they are focusing on increasing their profitability in the Total Car Care segment. For Sherri Underland, co-owner of an auto repair franchise in Levittown, Pennsylvania, the AAMCO business model has become so efficient, that she is confident that she can run a profitable auto repair franchise. “Now that AAMCO has a partnership with GPS, the business model is so simple that I could still run a successful business even if I didn’t have my husband to help me,” Underland said. “The benefits of the partnership with GPS are endless: There is a better warranty that we can offer our customers, and we are saving the salary that we would have to pay a builder — plus it reduces the challenges of maintaining a specialized labor workforce.”

Here is a piece of text: Internet stocks retreat for the second day in a row, but Yahoo soars in after-hours trading after reporting its earnings. Shares of Internet companies jumped in after-hours trading today after Yahoo solidly beat Wall Street estimates with its second-quarter earnings and announced a 2-for-1 stock split. Stock trading in the Internet directory company were halted, but competitor Lycos traded at 82-1/2 up from 77-1/2, according to brokerage firm Instinet. Amazon.com traded on Instinet at 113, up from 107-1/8 at the close. Yahoo shares soared once released from the Nasdaq halt in the after-hours market, trading at 202, up from 186-3/16 at the close. Internet issues had retreated for the second day in a row hours before Yahoo--considered an Internet bellwether--was to report earnings for its second quarter. The rundown was led by online bookseller Amazon.com, which finished the day down 12.28 percent at 107.125. Earlier in the day, NationsBanc Montgomery Securities analyst Steve Horen said he downgraded the stock to "hold" from "buy" because he believes Amazon's current price is too high. Other Internet commerce firms also declined today, including music sellers CDNow, which was down 12.67 percent at 20.25 and N2K, which was down 5.88 percent at 21. Online computer and software retailer Egghead was off 1.61 percent at 15.25. Search engine companies also slipped, with Excite dropping just over 5 percent to 91.375 and Infoseek, down 2.3 percent at 34.5. Even Inktomi, which has soared more than 90 percent during the last week, retreated today. Shares in the company were down nearly 4 percent at 73.5. Andrea Williams, an analyst at Volpe Brown Whelan, attributed most of the declines in Internet stocks to profit-taking, noting the strong run-up during the last two weeks. She added that Internet investors are particularly focused on Yahoo's earnings report, released at the close of the market today. In the past, Yahoo's earnings reports, which come out earlier than those of most other Net companies, have triggered sharp run-ups in the sector. It was unclear, however, if today's report would have the same effect, given the recent rallies, Williams added. "It's not clear how much of [Yahoo's] anticipated strong earnings have been incorporated into the stock prices" of Internet companies already, she explained. "These stocks recently have been trading more on psychological momentum, so it isn't clear whether the stock will rally again or in fact whether they'll sell off once investors are presented with clear fundamental data." It also was unclear whether Yahoo's earnings will be enough to justify the company's current market capitalization, estimated to stand at about $9 billion--or about 40 times its estimated 1999 revenues. "Whatever number above [the expected] 9 cents [per share] they might report, it won't be proof that Yahoo has earned the market cap they currently have," Williams said. Based on the text material above, generate the response to the following quesion or instruction: Can you provide an analysis of the reasons behind the recent declines in internet stocks and what factors are contributing to the volatility in the market?

While ironclads spread rapidly in navies worldwide , there were few pitched naval battles involving ironclads .

The newest entries to the revival party are commercial and retail space connected to the State Street Garage project in downtown Sarasota. The properties, combined, are priced at more than $2 million. An $11 million project planned at 395 spots, the garage hit some controversial patches when it weaved its way through the city process. But commercial real estate broker Ian Black says the space, a block from Main Street and in the hub of several new projects, is a good find — regardless of the project's history. Sarasota officials retained Black to bring in offers for the two commercial spaces associated with the project. The first is the commercial space on the ground floor of the garage, nearly 14,000 square feet, that can be subdivided to fit tenants' needs. The second is a little more than 5,000 square feet of ground-floor retail in a building being built adjacent to the garage at the corner of State Street and Lemon Avenue. “There's a healthy demand for commercial space in the downtown core,” Black tells Coffee Talk. “There's interest in downtown Sarasota. Cranes are back up again.” The commercial space on the ground floor of the garage is priced at around $120 a square foot, according to a prospectus from Black's office. The price for the retail space is expected to start at around $370,000. Offers are due by Aug. 6. Black is marketing the property through a media blitz and a targeted email campaign. He says he's already heard from several potential buyers, including a group of European investors considering spots in Fort Lauderdale who heard about Sarasota. Says Black: “I'm encouraged by the initial response to the marketing activities.”

 PH’s Jamie Herrell is Miss Earth, pushes climate change issue, offers victory to God | Inquirer Entertainment MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines further established its status as a powerhouse in the international pageant scene with the coronation of Filipino representative Jamie Herrell as 2014 Miss Earth on Sunday night’s ceremonies at the University of the Philippines theater in Diliman, Quezon City. The 19-year-old Herrell bested 83 other international delegates to become the second Filipino to wear the Miss Earth crown, after Karla Henry’s triumph in 2008. Both Henry and Herrell are from Cebu City. With Herrell’s victory on Sunday, the Philippines matched Venezuela’s two-crown record in the Miss Earth pageant, sharing top spot as the countries with the most wins in the global tilt. Last year’s winner, Alyz Henrich, is Venezuelan. Herrell, who took a break from her studies at the International Academy for Film and Television to prepare for the 2014 Miss Earth pageant, sustained the country’s dominance in the global pageant arena, which surged in 2013. The Philippines also secured Top 5 spots in the Miss Universe pageant’s last four editions, with the participation of Venus Raj, Shamcey Supsup, Janine Tugonon and Ariella Arida. After her coronation, which punctuated a two-hour program, Herrell told the Philippine Daily Inquirer that she was offering her victory to God, who she said was the reason behind her victory. Herrell’s religiosity was evident during a separate national costume competition, where she appeared in a Sinulog Festival-inspired outfit, holding an image of the Santo Niño. The California-born, Masbate-raised Cebuana beauty will now become the face of the pageant’s campaign in raising environmental awareness. Herrell won a $20,000 contract with Philippine-based pageant organizer Carousel Productions. She will also receive products and services from Ever Bilena Cosmetics, Alberto Shoes, Charms and Crystals, Skechers, Ramona Haar Jewelry, Canon Ixus, and Lhuillier Jewels. Placing second and proclaimed Miss Earth-Air was Andera Neu of the United States. Miss Earth-Water was Venezuela’s Alexandra Rodriguez, while Russia’s Anastasia Trysova was proclaimed Miss Earth-Fire. They will each receive a $2,000 contract with Carousel Productions for the duration of their reign. Singapore-based Filipino host and model Joey Mead-King hosted the ceremonies with actor Justin Bratton. ABS-CBN host and reporter Ginger Conejero, a former Miss Philippines-Air winner, served as anchor. The judging panel included rehabilitation czar Sen. Panfilo Lacson and international model Allison Harvard. The pageant was telecast live in countries covered by cable channels Star World, Venevision, Univision and Mehwar TV.

The ironclad age saw the development of explosive torpedoes as naval weapons , which helped complicate the design and tactics of ironclad fleets . The first torpedoes were static mines , used extensively in the American Civil War . That conflict also saw the development of the spar torpedo , an explosive charge pushed against the hull of a warship by a small boat . For the first time , a large warship faced a serious threat from a smaller one — and given the relative inefficiency of shellfire against ironclads , the threat from the spar torpedo was taken seriously . The U.S. Navy converted four of its monitors to become turretless armored spar @-@ torpedo vessels while under construction in 1864 – 5 , but these vessels never saw action . Another proposal , the towed or ' Harvey ' torpedo , involved an explosive on a line or outrigger ; either to deter a ship from ramming or to make a torpedo attack by a boat less suicidal .

Read the passage below and answer the question or follow the instruction: How many refugees were approved for resettlement in another country in 2015? Passage: Refugees, Displaced People Surpass 60 Million For First Time, UNHCR Says : The Two-Way At the end of 2015, 65.3 million people had fled conflict and persecution, the refugee agency says. That's one in every 113 people — or 24 people every minute. And very few found places to resettle. A boy looks on behind a net at the refugee camp of Schisto in Athens, Greece, on June 8. The number of refugees, asylum-seekers and internally displaced people around the world has topped 65 million, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees said Monday. As of December 2015, there were 65.3 million displaced people, according to a report from the refugee agency. It's the first time in the organization's history the number has surpassed 60 million — and represents a nearly 10 percent increase over last year's total, of 59.5 million. That number represents "immense human suffering," a UNHCR press release says. One in every 113 people on Earth has now been driven from their home by persecution, conflict and violence or human rights violations. Two other ways to wrap your mind around that number: Each minute, 24 people around the world flee their home because of violence or persecution. And if the world's displaced people were their own nation, it would be larger than the United Kingdom. The report tallies the number of refugees under the UNHCR's mandate, as well as those seeking asylum in other countries and internally displaced people (who have been driven from their homes, but remain within their own country's borders). An escalating humanitarian crisis in Yemen, ongoing violence in northern Nigeria and persistent conflict in Colombia have contributed to the rising number of internally displaced people, while the war in Syria drove an increase in refugees. Three countries — Syria, Afghanistan and Somalia — accounted for more than half of the refugees under the U.N.'s mandate. And most of those refugees, 86 percent, are hosted in developing countries. Lebanon hosts 183 refugees for every 1,000 inhabitants, the highest ratio in the world, while Turkey hosts the highest total number of refugees — 2.5 million people. More than half of the world's refugees in 2015 were children, the report finds. A little more than 200,000 refugees were able to return home in 2015. Meanwhile, just 0.66 percent of the world's refugees were approved for resettlement in another country. Displaced Iraqis stand outside their tents at a new camp set up to shelter civilians fleeing violence in the northern city of Mosul, on May 9, in Debaga, in northern Iraq. The level of forced displacement worldwide is "unprecedented since the founding of the UN itself," High Commissioner Filippo Grandi said in a statement. Every year Grandi's agency publishes a report on displacement statistics to mark World Refugee Day. "And each year," Grandi wrote, "UNHCR seeks to find a glimmer of hope ... to show that the world is finding solutions to help heal the trauma refugees are living through on a daily basis. "But this year the hopeful signs are hard to find," he said.

The game specifically includes 10 paylines and 5 reels filled with regular and special symbols. The regular symbol group consists of usual gambling cards such as A, K, J, Q, 10, but also involves original ones like the magician, mushroom and green necklace.

Don’t worry, I can still count. Yesterday I sent the parents to the Highlands, and since I had a meeting, I stayed home. Turns out, I should have gone. They had a 27 year old bearded Scotsman with a quick wit and a love for his home. I love beards, men, and Scotland, so he sounds perfect…..maybe I will go take his tour before I leave in May Today was a day of exploring the underbelly of the city. The day started off with shopping for goodies to take home to family and friends, and once that was done, we stopped for a cup of tea and very tasty muffins at the Elephant House. While that might not sound impressive, it is the birthplace of Harry Potter. It has one of the most interesting bathrooms. Since the books have been released, and the Elephant House has been put on the map, people have felt the need to leave Harry Potter themed messages on the walls, the toilet, and even the mirrors. From there we continued on to The Real Mary King’s Close and took a tour of the underground part of the city. I’d been on the tour before, but I still enjoyed going underground to see the parts that used to belong to the city. Unfortunately there are no cameras allowed, so we don’t have pictures, but thanks to the internet, my loyal 7 readers can enjoy a quick glimpse of the Close. Close means street, or in the case of the city, the alleys that are between the main streets. The next stop of the day was to the best/worst tourist attraction ever: The Edinburgh Dungeon. It was cheesy, it was scary, and it provided me with one of the funniest pictures I have ever seen of myself. At the end of the adventure there is a ride that drops you much like Tower of Terror at Disneyland (but on a smaller scale). I was in the middle of talking to my favorite Frenchwoman when we dropped, and I had mouth open scream of terror. I actually look like I am afraid….thankfully that picture will only live in the minds of those who saw it today. I’m glad the other two members of my faithful trio were able to go and then hang out with my family. From there we moved on to a little pub off the beaten path for a quick drink. I was able to convince my BFF here to pop over and hang out for a bit. He was a very good sport about it, and didn’t even blink at the Rubber Pirate Chicken. That is the true sign of a BFF. The night ended at one of my favorite eateries for a warm meal and some deep fried haggis. Problem was, the waitress wrote down the wrong order, so my dad will have to wait until tomorrow to get his haggis. I keep trying to tell him he isn’t missing anything, but he really wants to try it. Tomorrow is my last day with my parents. Other than lunch with some of the girls in my class, I am not really sure what the day will hold. If it is cold, like it was today, I may try to talk them into a museum, but if the weather is okay, then I am going to take them to see the best view of the city. Then it will be back to business as usual here and back to paper writing and dissertation prep work. It was so much fun meeting many of your friends today. You have always had a knack of choosing wisely when it comes to friends…hence the support you got in March. These are definitely people you will know for the rest of your life.

Read the passage below and answer the question or follow the instruction: Can business users reverse the trend of declining tablet sales? Passage: Can Business Users Reverse Tablet Sales Trends? Microsoft's Surface Book. Image source: Microsoft. While tablet sales have steadily declined, there may be reason to believe they can recover. Business users and the growing popularity of 2-in-1 devices like Microsoft's Surface line may bring about a sales recovery, according to a new survey from J. Gold Associates. The research, which was first reported on by ComputerWorld, showed that the number of companies that will have over half their employees using tablets will grow by over 155% in the next three years. That news comes at a time when Microsoft has not only expanded its Surface Pro line of tablets that also function as laptops, but launched Surface Book, a laptop that's also a tablet. Apple has also jumped into the hybrid market with its iPad Pro, its first tablet being sold with a company-created keyboard add-on offered. How bad are tablet sales? After initially predicting a 3.8% year-over-year decline in tablet sales, International Data Corporation (IDC) has revised its 2015 prediction and now expects an 8% drop. That's a fairly dismal outlook for 2015, but the research company believes the market will return to growth in 2019 fueled by business customers using hybrid devices. IDC predicts that sales for 2-in-1s like the Surface, SurfaceBook, and iPad Pro (which it counts as tablets) will grow 86.5% year over year in 2015, with 14.7 million units shipped. That's still a tiny piece of the overall 212 million tablet market, but the numbers should pick up in years to come. That will be driven in part by falling prices and more companies entering the fray. "With more OEMs offering devices in this segment, prices have started to come down significantly, said IDCs Ryan Reith in a press release. "We estimate that over 40 different vendors shipped 2-in-1 products in the second quarter of 2015, which is up from just 14 vendors two years ago." The hybrid market will also be helped by Apple getting involved and by Microsoft replacing the unpopular new-look Windows 8 with the more familiar Windows 10. Business will lead the wayBefore the launch of Surface in 2012, most tablets were marketed as consumption devices, not work platforms. The most successful of those, Apple's iPad, offered a lot of potential business uses, but it was presented to consumers as a platform for watching video, playing games, and other non-work uses. Tablets' ability to use productivity software like Microsoft Office was generally noted, but not pushed. Essentially, tablets were a fun-first category, and the ability to check email or view a spreadsheet was a secondary feature. Surface, then Surface Pro and SurfaceBook, now joined by iPad Pro (as well as countless hybrids made by other companies) effectively changed all of that. Now corporate customers appear to be catching up, and consumers are embracing the hybrids as productivity machines that can also be used for fun. IDC Tablets Research Director Jean Philippe Bouchard expects corporate adoption to accelerate. He said corporate IT departments will need time to evaluate Windows 10 and iPad Pro, but she expects 2-in-1s will take over some of the market share held by laptops and traditional tablets. "So far, this category has been led by Microsoft with its Surface product line," he said. "But with the arrival of the iPad Pro, the launch of Windows 10, which is better suited for the 2-in-1 form factor, and the introduction of Intel's Skylake silicon, we expect a flurry of new devices to launch between now and December 2015." It just makes senseSurface and the other Windows 10 hybrids it inspired have steadily become viable alternatives to traditional laptops. Even the original model Surface RT, with all of its drawbacks, worked reasonably well in both its tablet and laptop modes. The latest generation of hybrids, including Surface Pro 4, Surface Book, and iPad Pro, bridge that gap even further. You could argue that Surface Book is actually all the way there, and only its roughly $1,500 starting price is keeping it from gaining significant market share. Going forward, there is no reason to believe the laptop mode of the 2-in-1s won't improve to make their usability equal to a stand-alone tablet or laptop. As prices fall, that will make corporate adoption of the devices essentially a two-for-one deal that makes no sense to pass up. It will take time, and neither Apple nor Microsoft should expect a return to the days when tablets were a double-digit growth business, but business use of hybrids should eventually stop the sales decline.

A more practical and influential weapon was the self @-@ propelled or Whitehead torpedo . Invented in 1868 and deployed in the 1870s , the Whitehead torpedo formed part of the armament of ironclads of the 1880s like HMS Inflexible and the Italian Caio Duilio and Enrico Dandolo . The ironclad 's vulnerability to the torpedo was a key part of the critique of armored warships made by the Jeune Ecole school of naval thought ; it appeared that any ship armored enough to prevent destruction by gunfire would be slow enough to be easily caught by torpedo . In practice , however , the Jeune Ecole was only briefly influential and the torpedo formed part of the confusing mixture of weapons possessed by ironclads .
