Laws are made in this case to protect the pets/humans. on the other hand these owners don't want to take responsibly for their actions. They blame someone else for their action. Also they want government to take care of it for them. If a pet owner has his or hers property damaged, they have every right to to sue in civil court. But that takes effort, time, and money. It is easier if big brother dose all this for them. For not being responsible in the vast majority of cases. | 0 | en |

== IMDb Trivia!? == I was reviewing upcoming Featured Articles, and I was appalled to see that the Internet Movie Database was cited in four different departments in this Featured Article. IMDb is a guarded wiki, in which users submit information which may or may not be accepted. The most lenient feature is the trivia page, which completely violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy in not coming from a reliable source. I strongly suggest purging direct usage of IMDb in this Featured Article; its only merit is as an external link. — • - | 0 | en |
Correction to "Tell the Truth": The Alaskan Republican primary EXCLUDES independents (and others) who are not registered Republicans. Since a huge number of Alaskans are non-partisan (is it 1/2?), this exclusion narrows the final pool of candidates more than the comment above suggests. Only the Democratic primary allows independents to vote. This is a state-by-state, and party-by-party decision. Some states have totally open primaries, others, as in Alaska, are open by one party and not by the other. For more information, research the term, "Open Primaries." | 0 | en |

I'm talking the trajectory. Q3/Q4 GDP forecasts are lower than Q2 GDP growth. Growth is slowing.
And maybe you think slowing home sales are good to prevent a bubble in your little area, but it's a negative from a wage inflation perspective because it means fewer people are working building houses.
Remember, the BoC's sole rate setting mandate, the only thing they are allowed by law to care about, is inflation. Inflation is not going to blow through the 3% ceiling in the next five years even with no rate action. In fact it's run too low for too long at a great cost to economic growth.
A rate cut should be on the agenda right now to spur inflation and growth higher, not a rate hike. | 0 | en |

It is big money fluoride interest on the march as the expense of the public who are forced to consume an industrial toxic waste, hydrofluorosilicic acid, in drinking water.
Notice how much bull stuff is necessary when promoters have no adequate response to the ethical and morality issues with forcing everyone to consume the industrial toxic waste fluoride, hydrofluorosilicic acid.

Miss Ann, exactly when did the evil white man steal your land? What land are you even talking about? Land has been stolen since the dawn of time by every colour of people across the globe. It has nothing to do with color. Your hate of white is no different than a white hating a black. It's still hate. To say skin color makes no difference... unless your white then your evil..... that's a bit hypocritical. If you don't like european culture then don't participate. If the natives of Alaska wish to go back to subsistence only, no medical, no electricity, no iPhones, no snow machines/4 wheelers, no food flown in, no building materials flown in...... By all means, go ahead. The majority of the natives don't. That's why they choose to live that way. No one is forcing you to live any way. It's called freedom. Has it all been good? No. But once again, who is forcing you to live a certain way. Remember racism goes both ways and your hate just leads to more hate. | 0 | en |

James, I can assure you that not only is NOBODY doing 40, 50 or even 60 in the left lane of the Glenn Highway, but that you can and will be tailgated by foolish idiots at almost ANY speed nowadays on the Glenn, and elsewhere on local roads.
And by the way, there is NO reason or excuse for tailgating anyone, ever. None. This reckless and needless action only endangers both the perpetrator as well as everyone else around him. My feeling is that everyone who tailgates, particularly at highway speeds, should be arrested and convicted of willful endangerment. if not worse. | 0 | en |

Q:
Как заставить Garbage collector не уничтожать объект в памяти
После прочтения нескольких статей, стало понятно что Garbage Collector, самостоятельно определяет какие объекты стали 'мусором' и самостоятельно очищает память от этих объектов.
Вызов метода для сбора мусора не принесет никаких результатов, так как garbage collector, самостоятельно заботится о все операциях и чтобы ничего не сломалось игнорирует принудительные команды сбора мусора.
Вопрос в следующем: можно ли заставить сборщик мусора не удалять объект из памяти и в дальнейшем получить его?
A:
Если хотите, чтобы объект не удалялся garbage collector'ом, есть несколько вариантов:
сохранить ссылку на этот объект
сделать ссылку phantom reference или переопределить метод finalize, и при помощи данных механизмов "воскрешать" объект.
сделать свою сборку jvm без сборки мусора, благо исходники есть
сериализовать объект и спрятать его в offheap

To be clear, there are quite a few others who spread money around the legislature. Perhaps they do so for ideological reasons, perhaps for others. Makes one curious, doesn't it? But it's not illegal. When the legislators who have received donations are the ones making the decision to buy a donor's $35M building, it's reasonable for voters to suspect that they were influenced. But each voter will have to reach their own conclusions on 24 October when early voting begins. | 0 | en |

Driving safely is a matter of maintaining control of your vehicle at all times. That means increased following distance and planning ahead at intersections. Studs promote bad driving habits, and will get you in trouble in some conditions. Nokian or Blizzaks provide equal to superior grip in most conditions but don't give that false sense of security. No matter what, winter driving requires extra caution and good judgement. | 0 | en |
Past Presidents did nothing to address the issue of illegal immigration, and now Trump has to clean up their mess. He's receiving resistance from people who are scared, politicians trying to protect their own image, and a host of other obstacles to doing what simply needs to be done. Rapid demographic change, plus a worsening economy and uncertainty, all feed the narrative of declining American power, and Trump is trying to slam the brakes. He may not be the President many Americans want, but he's the one they need. | 0 | en |

Art. I only arrested 1575 DUI's during my first eleven years as a Trooper. Death and carnage on the highways was not acceptable to me or our team of Troopers, and I care not how the offending drivers are impacted. By the time a police officer catches the DUI they have committed at least 20 prior offenses and just not been caught per NHTSA. That was a ratio I would not accept. I targeted DUI's and our highways got safer and the bars even began ordering cabs in mass at closing because they knew our team and I were out there patrolling for them. It was cheaper for them to pay for cabs than not have their perpetual customer ranks in jail and not returning to their bars. I gave one DUI a break in 1967,. charged him for speeding, drove him home as he was only a 10% when we needed 15% then. He claimed at trial he was too drunk to know he was speeding. The judge tore me a new one for not filing the DUI. I never made that error again. Never gave another DUI a break either. | 0 | en |

Score makes the game seem worse than it really was but coaching and second half adjustments by the better coach won the game. Long Beach adjusted the post play with better spacing and getting the ball in to the center quicker before UH could defend. Ganot lost because they failed to score. Now Allen is gone as is 10 scholarships with the present players and 1 new Hawaii HS recruit. 2 left but the good 4 year players all turned Ganot down. After all, if you are a good player who wants to turn Pro you aren't going to play for a Coach with no NBA playing experience, no NBA coaching experience, and little success coaching at the College level. Best Ganot can hope for is a reserve player from a good program that is tired on being on the bench. Losing record for the first time in a long, long time. SA should note that as a concern but too busy thinking up a spin on things. And without the leading scorer and rebounder, next year doesn't look much better only dreamers would think so. | 0 | en |

This train will never be safe. HART and the contractors are selling us lies. Look at what happened in New Jersey yesterday. A train crashed into the Hoboken station. One person died. Many injuries were the result of debris falling from the ceiling, not passengers. When Hanabusa and Formby leave in the next month we may end up with a compliant board. The only fix for and end to escalating costs and safety issues is to kill the project and tear the costly white elephant eyesore down. | 0 | en |

WRONG! Do some research before you print fake news. If they worked for the government that would be a different story. The NFL specifically says that their conduct that the team feels is inappropriate or offensive to fans will be fired. They are a private company and they are working when they are on that field, do it on their own time. “The First Amendment to the US Constitution is specifically designed to limit government officials and not private businesses,” Keith Whittington, a professor at Princeton University, told me. Ultimately, “this is a contracts question, not a constitutional question,” says Jessica Levinson, a law professor at Loyola Law School. “The issue boils down to whether or not NFL owners have the contractual right to fire players for this type of behavior. The answer is ‘likely yes.’" | 0 | en |
Plate heat exchangers provided with gaskets normally comprise a plate package of heat exchanger plates disposed adjacent to one another. Gaskets are disposed between the heat exchanger plates. The plate package may also formed by heat exchanger plates that are permanently joined together in pairs to form so-called cassettes, e.g. by welding or brazing, with gaskets placed between the respective cassettes. The gaskets are accommodated in gasket grooves formed during the form-pressing of the heat exchanger plates. Plate heat exchangers further comprise inlet and outlet ports, which extend through the plate package, for two or more media.
Heat exchanger plates are normally made by form-pressing of sheet metal and are disposed in the plate package in such a way as to form first plate intermediate spaces, which communicate with the first inlet port and the first outlet port, and second plate intermediate spaces which communicate with the second inlet port and the second outlet port. The first and second plate intermediate spaces are disposed alternately in the plate package.
The design of heat exchanger plate for plate heat exchangers aims to use as much as possible of heat transfer or heat exchange area for the heat exchange between two or more media, but it also needs take in account how the gasket can be applied on the heat exchanger plate to be securely fastened and to fulfil its seal functionality.
Different designs of the heat exchanger plate and the associated gasket are known in the art. E.g. is a plate heat exchanger known from U.S. Pat No. 5,070,939, where the heat exchanger plate is provided with a gasket groove having a corresponding gasket with nubs which glued to the gasket groove. The nubs serving as indicators of where the glue should applied. In another prior art document, GB-A-668905, the heat transfer area has been alternately retracted along the transport direction to create increased turbulence of the media. In U.S. Pat No. 5,927,395, WO-A1-00/77468 and WO-A1-2005/045346 are shown other solutions on how to fasten the gasket to the heat exchanger plate by clamping the gasket around the plate edge and by forming the gasket groove.
The drawbacks with the above solutions are that they require a lot area along the heat exchanger plate edges to be applied and thereby the potential heat exchange area is reduced. Further the design of the clamping means is rather complicated. | 0 | en |

Flying over Japan required considerable guts, considering that the Japanese were apt to torture and kill you if shot down. The Japanese vivisected one captured B-29 crew in an operating theater before an audience of fellow doctors, removing their brains at the end.
And, really, war is not a sport where fairness rules. Certainly, the Pearl Harbor attack was hardly fair. The Japanese murder of ten million Chinese was not fair. Your critique is one-sided and itself unfair.
The Japanese government demanded its civilians be combatants in the coming invasion, including the women and children. When you oppose the nuclear attack, you are supporting the much deadlier conventional invasion needed to overcome women and children fighting them from every house. If you oppose dropping the nukes because they killed 300,000 Japanese, how do you justify the conventional invasion which would have killed millions of Japanese?

If this money was returned to Britain, we’d apparently be able to pay down our debts and ensure pensioners enjoyed much better healthcare and benefits.

==Barney & Barney & Friends== This is very strange. This is how the disambiguation article was on April 19 as 131.162.154.31 restored the deleted material. The next edit by Computerjoe with VP here is very strange as VP inserted the material from Barney & Friends. Also neither of the IP's (68.60.182.219 & 70.241.90.252) in the summary had edited the Barney article. Now look at this where I roll back the Barney & Friends article. Note that the two IP's are the same as that listed by VP. | 0 | en |

Ivanka Trump’s quest to float along, empowered but unsullied, beside her father throughout his increasingly ugly campaign has been getting harder and harder. PHOTOGRAPH BY DREW ANGERER / GETTY
On Wednesday night, Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump’s preternaturally poised elder daughter, sat in the audience listening to her father as he overthrew the pledge she’d made on his behalf earlier that day. “He’ll either win or he won’t win, and I believe he’ll accept the outcome either way,” she’d said at a women’s summit in Southern California. But Trump would not promise to respect the outcome of the democratic process: “What I’m saying now is, I will tell you at the time. I will keep you in suspense, O.K.?”
Afterward, Ivanka, who wore a black satin top that left one pale shoulder bare, joined her father onstage, smiling brightly. Since Trump first announced his Presidential candidacy, people have been saying that Ivanka had the power to soften his image and broaden his appeal, perhaps even among the women voters who’ve increasingly turned against him. (According to the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC poll, Trump trails Hillary Clinton among women voters by twenty points.) Ivanka is modern and accomplished: a thirty-four-year-old mother of three, who co-runs the Trump Organization while heading her own fashion line, plus a sleek Web site that “celebrates women who work” with brand-building enthusiasm. Among Trump’s other campaign surrogates, his wife, Melania, seems to muddle things (in an interview with Anderson Cooper this week, she compared her husband to a little boy—not what most of us have in mind for a President), while Rudy Giuliani inflames them (his odd defense of Trump and himself was to the effect that “everybody” commits adultery). But elegant, beautiful Ivanka, possessed of the self-discipline and social graces that permanently elude her father, has been like the white-noise machine of the campaign, muting and sometimes neutralizing his outbursts.
Her quest to float along, empowered but unsullied, beside her father throughout his increasingly ugly campaign has been getting harder and harder. It was always a stretch when she tried to portray Trump as a feminist—and that was before we heard the “Access Hollywood” tape in which he bragged about his penchant for grabbing women “by the pussy,” and before multiple women came forward with accusations that he had groped or kissed them unbidden. (Trump denies these claims.) This week, addressing the “Access Hollywood” videotape for the first time, Ivanka told Fast Company magazine, “My father’s comments were clearly inappropriate and offensive, and I’m glad that he acknowledged this fact with an immediate apology to my family and the American people.” (He would go on to undercut this apology by saying, at the second Presidential debate, that his boasts were just “locker-room talk.”)
What was there, ever, to say in his favor as a champion of women? He had employed women in his company, some in positions of authority, as most employers who run large operations get around to doing eventually. He has certainly been a booster of Ivanka herself (“My father is a feminist,” she told the Sunday Times of London, in July. “It’s a big reason I am the woman I am today”), though the terms in which he has publicly complimented her can tend toward the unsavory or benighted. He has repeated that line about how he would have dated her if she wasn’t his daughter; he once endorsed Howard Stern’s request to refer to her as an attractive “piece of ass.” And yet, as Lizzie Widdicombe noted in her magazine Profile of Ivanka, “when pressed to name a woman he might appoint to his Cabinet,” Trump “could think of only one: his daughter.”
The clincher in Ivanka’s case for Donald Trump, friend to womankind, was supposed to be the child-care policy his campaign had put forward, at her behest. (“Daddy, Daddy, we have to do this,” as Trump summed up her argument at a rally in Iowa. “She is the one that has been pushing so hard for it.” He did not mention it in Wednesday’s debate.) In the week after the first Presidential debate, the Trump campaign unveiled a new ad that features Ivanka talking soothingly about her father’s commitment to mothers. The ad, touting Trump’s child-care policy, would look right at home on Ivanka’s Web site: it shows attractive young families frolicking in sun-dappled settings, Trump shaking hands with women and appearing to listen to them, and Ivanka unrolling blueprints in one shot and playing with her three little children in another. “My father will change outdated labor laws, so that they support women and American families,” she says. “He will provide tax credits for child care, paid maternity leave, and dependent-care savings accounts.” According to the Washington Post, the campaign spot, titled “Motherhood,” will run on cable networks with big female audiences, like Bravo, TLC, and Lifetime, as well as on network prime-time shows such as “Dancing with the Stars” and “Madam Secretary.”
The ad’s opening line—“The most important job any woman can have is being a mother”—is, as many people have pointed out, pretty retro. (The most important? Any woman?) But then, so is Trump’s policy, which explicitly excludes new fathers—as Ivanka told Cosmopolitan magazine, “The original intention of the plan is to help mothers in recovery in the immediate aftermath of childbirth.” This makes sense, coming from a man who has made many statements over the years about his own utter lack of interest in child care: “I mean, I won’t do anything to take care of them,” he said in a 2005 interview with Howard Stern. “I’ll supply funds, and she’ll take care of the kids. It’s not like I’m gonna be walking the kids down Central Park.”
Yes, calling for any paid leave is unprecedented for a Republican Presidential nominee, and, yes, it would be much better than what we have now—which is no legally guaranteed paid leave at all, a state of affairs that sets the United States apart from every other industrialized country in the world. And it’s good that Ivanka has been talking about the high costs of child care for families. But Trump’s proposed six weeks of paid leave for new mothers is half of the twelve weeks that Clinton’s plan calls for. Moreover, his plan for paying for it seems shaky—he says he could provide the funds by eliminating fraud in unemployment-insurance claims, though it’s not clear how much that would generate. (Clinton’s plan stipulates raising taxes on the wealthy.) Both proposals would likely run into strong resistance in Congress.
Meanwhile, the disconnect between Ivanka Trump, the carefully modulated advocate for working women, and Donald Trump, the sexist, bullying demagogue, gets ever stranger. Ivanka, Jessica Yellin writes in the Daily Beast, is “a polished, polite enabler.” But her adherence to message is almost too perfect.
Ivanka continues to talk about her father as if this were a normal campaign, and he were a candidate who was maybe a bit of a brash outsider, but not somebody who has been vowing, like a tin-pot dictator, to jail his opponent, “such a nasty woman,” as he called her at Wednesday’s debate. The portrait Ivanka paints of him would seem to be of another man entirely. “They didn’t tolerate rudeness,” she said, of her parents, at a campaign appearance in Pennsylvania last week. “There was sort of an expectation of what was appropriate . . . and I think they raised us to be sensitive to that.” What happened to that expectation?

Funny. So born and bred German boyos don't do any rapin'? Just like in Canada, it's the minorities like Bernardo, Williams, and Pickton raping Canadian women. You don't seem to car about that though. Why? Why are you not affronted by white men rapin' yer wimminfolk?

Вообще-то я не называю ничьих имён, а то что НЕКОТОРЫЕ позволяют себе нелецеприятные высказывания и их за это называют УРОДАМИ, то что уж тут поделать, если они таковыми являются. Вопрос в другом - считать ли это скандалом? Ведь именно об этом ставился тут вопрос. Я высказал своё личное (частное) мнение - НЕТ, СКАНДАЛОМ ЭТО НЕ ЯВЛЯЕТСЯ! Более того, если бы на моём блоге мне написали такую чушь, то я бы наверное тоже такового послал куда подальше. И уж точно никто бы этот факт не назвал скандалом. | 1 | ru |

"Only three in 10 Canadians across the country support the right of women to wear face coverings. Is this proof that anti-Muslim sentiment is dangerously widespread? Or does it simply mean – as I believe – that Canadians want immigrants to fit in?"
it means we live in a conformist culture that can't handle freedom. a culture where everyone has to dress the same, act the same, sound the same. never mind that someone else's attire does not affect you and i. but of course in this culture, government is good and laws that make everyone like you and i are good. it's apart of our proud tradition of genteel racism. but of course racism doesn't exist in canada, right? | 0 | en |
