On its website, the private school claims to stand for "for development in spiritual, moral, mental, and physical discipline in accordance with the Islamic sharia". Mufti Zubair Dudha, the headmaster, made the shocking comments in flyers and newsletter distributed to parents and students and at nearby mosques. The Department for Education is now investigating "serious allegations" of "extremist practice" at the institution. This is very likely an Islamic Wahhabi school funded by Saudi Arabia. Most hate for the western world comes from mainline Wahhabi Muslims. The thing they mentioned about women rights in the western world in the west are immoral, should only have feminist up in arms yet Islam continues to be the religion they love. The hate for western culture and life mainly comes from Wahhabi Islam. Islam didn't get radicalized until Wahhabism was founded in the 18th century. I bet anything that this mosque has an enormous cache of weapons, drugs, and cash, any mosque that makes comments such as this, should only be searched and shut down in due time.

Hillary Clinton was projected the winner of the Nevada Democratic caucus on Saturday.
Fox News and NBC called the race in favor of Clinton at about 2:15 P.M. local time. Clinton was capturing 53 percent of the vote with 85 percent of precincts reporting Saturday afternoon. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) trailed Clinton with 47 percent of the vote among Democratic caucus-goers.
Recent Stories in Politics
Clinton's win in Nevada signified a comeback for the former secretary of state following a significant 22-point loss in New Hampshire and a narrow win in the Iowa caucus earlier this month.
The Clinton campaign was managing expectations following the results in Iowa and New Hampshire, putting emphasis on later-voting states with more diverse voter populations.
"Whereas the electorates in Iowa and New Hampshire are largely rural/suburban and predominantly white, the March states better reflect the true diversity of the Democratic Party and the nation," Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook wrote in a memo following the New Hampshire loss. "Hispanics and African Americans play a critical role in who we are as a party and who we are as a nation."
Recent polls, including one from the Washington Free Beacon, indicated that Clinton and Sanders were locked in a virtual tie in Nevada. A CNN/ORC poll released Wednesday had Clinton capturing 48 percent of support among likely caucus-goers, with 47 percent going to Sanders.
The Democratic candidates will now focus their attention on South Carolina, where a primary will take place next Saturday. Clinton holds a commanding lead over Sanders in the state, according to recent polling.
Still, speculation has swirled about whether Sanders' popularity among young voters could shrink Clintons' lead in South Carolina. Recent reports have indicated that young black voters are more open to Sanders' candidacy.
While Clinton was widely viewed as the frontrunner for the nomination when she announced her campaign, her national lead has eroded as she continues to be scrutinized for her use of private, unsecured email while working at the State Department. The FBI is currently investigating her email setup, and Clinton has been forced to defend her honesty amid criticism.
The State Department released its latest batch of Clinton emails to the public the day before the Nevada Democratic caucus. The number of the former secretary of state's emails containing classified information rose to 1,730.
The agency has blocked the release of nearly two-dozen Clinton emails containing top secret information because of their high sensitivity. Clinton has insisted that she never sent or received information marked classified on her private email.
A pair of polls out this week indicated that Clinton's edge over Sanders nationally had vanished.

Wiser's Special Blend
Review: Wiser's Special Blend Canadian Whisky 80/100
a review By Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Re-Scored and Re-published September, 2017
John Philip (J.P.) Wiser, purchased a distillery in Prescott Ontario in 1857, and began to produce Wiser's Whisky. In fact, it may have been J.P. Wiser who first used the term "Canadian Whiskey" on a whisky label when he introduced his spirit to the World at the Chicago's World Fair in 1893. From the beginning J.P. Wiser established his brand as a quality whisky with high standards of production. As a result, the distillery grew side by side with the popularity of Wiser's style of whisky, and by the early 1900′s Wiser's was the third largest distiller of whisky in Canada.
The Company merged with the H. Corby Distillery Company sometime after the death of J.P. Wiser in 1917. Shortly after in 1932, production of the Wiser's brands moved to the Corby distillery. A controlling interest in the Corby distillery was acquired by Hiram Walker several years later, and by 1989, the Corby distillery was closed, and all production was moved to the Hiram Walker Distillery. Today Wiser's is distilled at the Hiram Walker Distillery in Walkerville, Ontario, and aged in their facilities at Pike Creek near Lakeshore Ontario. Through all of these changes the Wiser's Brand has been recognized as a vital component of each company's portfolio of brands.
Wiser's Special Blend is part of the Corby whiskies which has not been re-branded into the J.P. Wiser's family which leads me to believe the brand may be soon phased out. For now though it appears on the bottom rung of the family as a lower shelf offering meant to be served as a mixing whisky. I have found that it has a little more to offer.
In the Bottle: 4/5
Pictured to the left is the bottle of Wiser's Special Blend. It is a medium-tall bottle with a square shape. (One thing I love about the square-shaped bottles is how easily they stack on my whisky shelf. ) The label design is assertive and bold and the only quibble I have with the presentation is the flimsy metallic screwcap closure.
In the Glass 8/10
In the glass, the Wiser's Special Blend shows itself as a rich copper coloured whisky with lighter shades of amber. The breezes from the glass are mildly spicy with both wood and grain spice as well as hints of orange peel. Some butterscotch sweetness is present as well as a lightly fruity character.
In the Mouth 48/60
Bringing the Special Blend to my mouth, I taste caramel, light oak spices, and a mild rye flavour carried by sweet fruit (pears and apples). It tastes good, but lacks the typical full thrust of flavour I expect from a Canadian whisky. There is perhaps a touch of maple and cinnamon riding in the very background. The style is easy going with a flavour profile that is light and inoffensive with a mild Canadian character.
In the Throat 12/15
For a young mixing whisky, Wiser's Special blend is smooth. The finish is light caramel with a touch of sweetness. A dash of rye-like burn brightens the finish at the end. The smoothness bodes very well for mixing cocktails and party drinks.
The Afterburn 8/10
Wiser's Special Blend is a prototypical cocktail whisky. It can be served with coke, or ginger ale and I doubt anyone will complain. It has such an easygoing style that it will go down smooth without any rough spots. Finally, the whisky has light flavours and an entirely inoffensive nature. I think this would be the perfect whisky to serve at large gatherings where you are unsure of the range of palates.
You may read some of my other Whisky Reviews (click the link) if you wish to have some comparative reviews.
As always you may interpret the scores I provide as follows.
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be more familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

Great reveiw , yeah I really enjoy this whisky too , it is great for mixing with pop espically with coke I do agree that it has a nice sweetness and little maple flavor , but overall a well rounded great whisky no doubt it's around $23.90 a 26er (750 ml) a bottle in Canada which is a bit cheaper to the other canadian whiskys for example crown royal probally one of the best known canadian whisky to Americans is around $27-28 a 26er. If you drink vocka here's a great mix recipe . For a lime and coke all you need is a lime , coca cola , your choice of vocka I would recommend Smirnoff because to that is of the best mixing vocka for cocktails ,,,, and a small whisky glass , Take 3 ounces of vocka and cut the limes up into slices squeeze half ounce or full ounce of lime juice or lemon juice , when your done squeezing put the left over slices in the cup and top of the glass with coke add four ice cubes stir it up , put a lime on the edge of the glass for garnish and appearance and serve . Great for partying very easy to make very simple aha thanks

Hey Chip, love the reviews. There is something I would like to mention for consideration. I am by no means an expert but it strikes me that one should be cynical regarding the colour of most whiskies. As I'm sure you're aware it is a common practice among blenders and distillers to add caramel colouring to their whiskies (straight bourbons excepted). Thus I think it is meaningless to try to ascertain anything at all from a whisky's colour, with two exceptions: when the colour is light and you can infer that no colouring was added, or when the distiller/blender specifically states a lack of added colour. For an example I look to Alberta Premium, whose 5-year-old and 25-year-old whiskies seem to be nearly or exactly the same colour. Meanwhile Century Reserve 21 is considerably lighter than them both.
I don't mean to sound critical or to diminish your reviews at all; I just thought you might give that some consideration when discussing "in the glass", that colour is often altered to suit the desired presentation and in that way is only about as telling as the shape of the bottle and design of the label. What are your thoughts on this?

The Three Body Problem
Reviewed by Galen Strickland
It has been several days since I finished this and I'm still not sure of my opinion. It's not all bad but it is definitely not as good as I had been expecting. It was published in China seven years ago, winning several awards there, and I first heard about it two years ago at LoneStarCon3. At that time, David Brin, Ben Bova and Ken Liu (the English translator, and as far as I know not related to the author) all spoke highly of it. Ken said the US edition was expected by the end of 2013, but for some reason it didn't come out until November 2014, which made it eligible for this year's awards. It has been nominated for just about everything for which it's eligible, including the Nebula, Hugo, Locus, Prometheus and John W. Campbell Memorial. I'm assuming it wasn't published in the UK in time for this year's BSFA (won by Ancillary Sword), so we might expect to see it on that list next year. Brin, Bova and Kim Stanley Robinson, among others, gave it high praise in blurbs on the back of the book. I have to wonder now if authors are paid to do that, or otherwise given incentives from their publishers. Brin and Bova are also published by TOR, but Robinson is not.
UPDATE: The Three Body Problem is the winner of the 2015 Hugo for Best Novel.
Perhaps it's a cultural thing, or a limitation of the translation, but the story is plodding and has little appeal due to flat characters, none of whom are sympathetic nor distinguishable one from the other (with one exception), and all of whom continue to do idiotic things. There are some interesting perspectives on China's Cultural Revolution and its aftermath, but I don't have a clue concerning Liu's opinions of that. One of the main characters' father was killed by the Red Guards, and she lost the honor of "comradeship" and was relegated to menial work, yet later is given a position of trust due to her scientific background. It makes no sense that Ye Wenjie is the only civilian at a military installation, the cover story for which is that it's a radar surveillance post, but in truth is China's version of SETI. Liu wants us to believe that she was trusted enough to have full access to both the receiving and transmitting antennas and computers, and that she just happened to be the one to spot a message from an alien civilization, sent a reply message, and was able to keep it a secret from everyone else on the base. I won't spoil another thing she got away with, because it was equally ludicrous.
Some of the science within the fiction is interesting, but I doubt much of it is realistic. We've learned a lot about exo-planets over the past few years, but I am sure there has been no speculation of habitable planets in the three-star Centauri system, which happens to be the closest to us. I can forgive the depiction of the aliens as anthropomorphic since all of that information is revealed in a computer game called Three Body, and that game had been developed by humans, albeit through information they received from Trisolaris, the last remaining planet in the Centauri system. The book's title refers to both the classical physics problem of plotting the relative motions of three distinct bodies (or particles), but also to the problem facing Trisolaris as it suffers long chaotic periods due to its erratic orbit(s) around three different stars. The game was perhaps devised as a way for Earth to help solve the problem for them, so that Trisolaris could accurately predict when the darkest of those times would occur. However, once contact with Earth is established, Trisolaris becomes envious of a planet with a stable orbit around just one star, and launches an expedition toward Earth.
A cult-like religion has developed on Earth, started by Ye Wenjie and an ex-patriate American, the basic tenet of which seems to be that humans are corrupt and expendable, and that Trisolarans will be Earth's saviors. I suppose if you hate yourself and your species that much you might find such an idea palatable, but count me out. Liu doesn't make it clear which side he's on or which character is the protagonist. Perhaps its Wang Miao, a researcher in nano-materials, but he isn't sympathetic either. He gets caught up in the Three Body game and even thinks he may have a solution, but since he's an engineer and not a physicist no one seems to value his opinion. The only one I could relate to was Shi Qiang, a police detective, although he has a very volatile and unpredictable personality, and I never understood how he got involved in the military investigation of the cult.
Another limitation of the book is it's just the first in a trilogy, the second of which comes out in the US in August. All three have been published in China, and even though they have all sold well and received glowing reviews, there is one review on Amazon from someone from China that says they are all overrated and that the first was the best of the group. I'm not sure how much of a time jump there will be in The Dark Forest, but the Trisolaran fleet will not reach the solar system for about four hundred years. If the second book is also nominated next year I guess I'll read it, but I'm not looking forward to it.

Hmm yeah that's what happened when I made this meal. Not because it didn't taste good but because I couldn't get the pictures to turn out right and there was no one there to encourage me and tell me to stop being silly.
So I got into a silliness spiral which happens fairly often, especially when I'm trying to take good food photos. I wish I could be better and I'm super super impatient about actually learning how to be better, I just want to have them skills.
Anyway, on to the recipe! So first of all there's seasoned salmon rubbed with a big mix of spices before pan frying for a couple of minutes each side. Make sure to get that skin good and crispy too!
As you might have noticed I really love a good waffle. Since we got a waffle maker a few months ago I've made them a few times but it does involve quite a time commitment since our is one of those stove top ones and you can only do one waffle at a time.
Might be necessary to invest in a fancy electric one that makes those whopper waffles at some point soon.
These courgette waffles have a big hit of parmesan and some garlic and red onion for a super flavourful waffle.
I really recommend making extra batter and having it for lunch the next day with a fried egg and sriracha on top which is exactly what I did and it was just great.
Probably my second favourite thing about this recipe is the discovery that you can make a really smooth and tasty hollandaise in a blender.
I've always been kind of scared of making hollandaise and let Will do it when we have eggs benedict or whatever but now that I've tried this method I'm gonna be all over it. Hollandaise every weekend!
Cajun Salmon, Courgette Waffles & Blender Hollandaise Recipe
For the Salmon
- 2 Salmon Fillets skin on
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1-2 tsp Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Cayenne
- 1/2-1 tsp Oregano
- 1/2-1 tsp Thyme
- 1/4 tsp Chilli Flakes
Courgette Waffles
- 2 Courgettes
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 1/2 Red Onion chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic crushed
- 80 g Plain Flour
- 60 g Cornflour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 Egg
- 230 ml Milk
- 1/2 cup Parmesan
For the Hollandaise
- 2 Egg Yolks
- 1/2 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- Sprinkling Cayenne to taste
- 5-6 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- Marinate the salmon by mixing together all of the spices and rubbing them on the salmon fillets. Set aside until ready to use.
- Grate the courgette and place in a colander over the sink. Sprinkle with salt and let set for 10 minutes to draw out the moisture. While that's happening mix together the butter, onion, garlic flour, cornflour, baking powder, egg and milk in a large bowl.
- Squeeze the grated courgette in your hands to get rid of any leftover moisture and then add it to the other waffle ingredients. Stir together then add the parmesan and mix together. Make your waffles according to your waffle maker's instructions.
- To make the hollandaise melt the butter then put the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt and cayenne (if using) in a blender and mix for 30 seconds until light and fluffy. Slowly pour in the butter while the blender is on a medium speed and then continue to blend for another 20 seconds. The hollandaise should be smooth and creamy.
- Heat a drizzle of oil over a medium high heat and add the salmon fillets skin side down. Cook for two minutes then flip and cook for another two minutes on the other side. Serve the salmon with the waffles and a drizzle of hollandaise.

Financial Aid is Available
What are your dreams for your life and your career? There are a number of great reasons why you should choose to go to Community College. And there are thousands of great community colleges across the country (including Florida, New York, Ohio, Massachusetts, California, Illinois, Missouri, Colorado, Maryland, New Jersey, Kansas, Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, and Tennessee) with hundreds of majors and concentrations leading to both degrees and certificates. Higher education and technical training very often leads immediately to better jobs, better pay, and more career opportunities. Even having some college training separates your resume from those of job applicants who only have a high school diploma or a GED. So the course work alone could change your job prospects. If you want to earn college credits, or even your associates degree or a certificate, you can explore your future today by filling out your application, applying for financial aid (the FAFSA form), and going to community college. It could be your application to a better life, a better job, and a great career.
What can you study at community college? You would be surprised at the range of choices for your future degree: everything from accounting, marketing, graphic design, business administration, financial services, general studies and humanities, history, music, philosophy, psychology, theater/dance, computer science, english literature, public relations, sociology, laboratory science, communications, environmental studies, health care, computer and business information systems, criminal justice, culinary arts, dental hygiene, early childhood education, elementary education, engineering technology, to political science, marine tech, fire science, health sciences, nursing, occupational therapy, office administration/executive administrative assistant, and more. Certificate programs are available in a wide variety of areas from biotechnology, fine arts, law enforcement, paralegal studies, to web design and countless others. What could you do with a certificate or an Associate in Arts (A.A.) or Associate in Science (A.S.) degree in one of these fast-growing fields?
Community colleges are very interesting because they have a mix of both traditional and non-traditional college students. What this means is that you can expect to see students from all walks of life in your classes - from those just out of high school, to single moms (single parents), to mid-career workers training for another field, and even some semi-retirees. This is a great advantage for your education because it adds to the experience of community college. You will learn a lot from your classmates! And this is great for somewhat older, or mid-career returning students in that they will be in an environment that is more diverse and they will not feel too isolated or exposed in their choice to return to college. You are never to old to get better or to learn something new! But even with varied students, there still is a great campus life at community college with department centers, cafeterias, halls, and libraries, where many of the commuting students congregate, work, and study.
What some people don't realize is the very high level of quality instruction at community colleges. This doesn't mean that the classes are hard! It means that the teaching is very solid, and these community colleges have good faculty in many fields. Many of the professors, instructors, or adjuncts are professionals in their fields who have added some teaching to their schedules as a way of passing along their expertise and years in their field. This is an amazing benefit of these programs. This can lead to great job referrals, perhaps a powerful reference letter, some cooperative work opportunities, or other possible benefits.
Other faculty at community colleges are full-time educational professionals with the same training, background, and credentials as faculty at more expensive four-year private schools, and could easily be teaching at any college or university in the country. Your benefit here-- the same access to that level of expertise and training for a fraction of the cost of a private university. It's also possible to take these classes during the day, late afternoon, evenings, and often weekend, or online. Off-hour courses, with superb faculty, are a great benefit of community colleges.
The cost of community college is very reasonable for both part-time and full-time students. The college courses can also be taken one at a time by paying for single-course tuition and fees. In addition to reasonable tuition for in-state and regional community college students, there are many opportunities for scholarships, financial aid, low-interest loans, and federal, state, and local grants that do not have to be repaid (free money!). You should fill out a FAFSA form, research scholarships online and at the college financial aid office, and seek out all possible forms of student aid. (The community college financial aid office will help you!) Look for any assistance for college that you can find. Cost is important in that you are making an investment in your future, but you want to be able to earn the money back in a reasonable amount of time.
So imagine that you start community college just to add a few classes to your background, so you can update your resume and get a little better pay, or go up for a promotion at work. Then within no time you find that maybe you can even complete enough credits to earn a certificate or your associates degree. This is great!
But here's an added benefit of state community colleges! Many two-year community college programs have in-state compacts, agreements, and transfer arrangements with four-year state colleges and universities. What this means is the best possible situation for your course work: it means that the courses will more easily apply towards a four-year program leading to your Bachelor's degree. Even graduates with a liberal arts, humanities, or general studies associates degree might find that all of their program credits apply as general education credits towards many more bachelor's degree choices than they could imagine.
You could find that the momentum from going back to school leads you all the way from an A.A. (Associate in Arts degree) through to a B.S. (Bachelor of Science), or B.A. (Bachelor of Arts) degree in one of many hundreds of fields or majors. If you choose to do this, and then later transfer to -- and graduate from-- a four-year state college or university, you will have the same degree as your four year classmates with a much lower cost for your first two years of higher education! And you have the accomplishment of the community college program (and degree!) to propel you forward.
Why should you go to Community College? It can change your life, your career, and all of your future job prospects. With reasonable costs, financial aid, student loans and scholarships available, great faculty, and a wide array of degree and certificate concentrations -- it could be the best decision that you have made in a while?

1940s Hollywood darling Hedy Lamarr was best known for starring alongside James Stewart and Judy Garland in films such as Come Live with Me (1941) and Ziegfeld Girl (1941). But more recently, the light has been cast on her work as a brilliant inventor, which had been overshadowed by scandals and the glitz and glamor of celebrity life at the height of her career as an actress.
During World War II, Lamarr's desire to help the military come up with a secure communication system led to the invention of a radio guidance system using frequency-hopping technology, making American radio-guided weapons more resilient to detection and jamming. At the time, many doubted Lamarr's legitimacy as an inventor, even accusing her of stealing the idea from her husband, munitions manufacturer Fritz Mandl.
Although her invention was first rejected by the U.S. Navy, it was later used by the military during the Cuban missile crisis in 1962. Her invention serves as the basis for today's wireless communications that is now used by billions around the world, particularly the technology we know today as Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth.
In the modern world, it is not merely enough to have a great idea like this bitcoin trader app. One must also have a great marketing team that is fluent in digital trends and understands the importance of good customer service. Due to the internet's influence, instant gratification has become human nature and consumers are becoming increasingly interactive and vocal in regards to what they want. This is where inventions such as CRM software comes in handy.
As far as great invention ideas go, they can come from the most unsuspecting of personalities and do not guarantee immediate commercial viability. Against The Grain author Graham Harris, who has utilized over 80 patents and successfully brought to market hundreds of unique print-related products, wrote, "Experts estimate that only one out of every five thousand inventions undergo successful product launches to the extent they result in a good return for their inventor."
According to Harris, successful inventors are those that "form the best habits, to keep them on track and disciplined." One habit Harris mentions is persistence, which helps an inventor to push through barriers and seek out continuous improvements to his own design or an existing one, to make the invention such as bitcoin up app a commercial success. Commitment and dedication are key, but inventors must also take time to develop other crucial skills, including resource management and product design.
The conceptualization of the idea itself – albeit crucial – only makes up a small part of the entire process of getting the product out to market and making it a commercial success like the Bitcoin Up trading platform. Occasionally, even those with less interesting invention ideas can come up with commercially successful products after diligently following through a rigorous refinement process.
Inventor Isaac Newton once said, "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." Many commercially successful inventions, like the radio, the car, the airplane, online survey sites or the iPhone are a combination of technological innovations or an improvement of the existing solution. The famous Thomas Edison, known for inventing the light bulb we know today, actually improved designs and replaced materials from previous electric lighting devices that weren't efficient, didn't last long or was too bright, to the point of commercial viability.
Today, we see many different types of lights such as fluorescent, LED, halogen, and neon. In fact, the invention of Light Emitting Diode (LED) by Nick Holonyak, Jr. in the 60s was somewhat unintentional. He simply discovered it while trying to create a visible semiconductor laser. It took 50 years for LED to replace incandescent light bulbs that were the norm at the time of LED's invention. From small indicator lights on electrical equipment, its use expanded to IBM circuit boards, to digital watches of the 1970s, traffic lights and in brake lights by the 80s, and now, LED TV.
Similarly, the television we know today is a culmination of other people's inventions. In the early days, there were mechanical TVs, which rely on mechanical scanning devices. In 1927, Philo Farnsworth successfully created the first all-electronic television, by combining the developments of the cathode ray tube with image-scanning using electrons. However, it's said that Farnsworth never reaped the financial benefits of his discovery. It wasn't until 1951 that cost-effective production allowed TV sales to go from a few thousand to almost 100 million in a decade.
It's worth noting that a great number of inventions lose commercial viability during the manufacturing, testing, or even the marketing process. Many factors contribute to the success or failure of an invention, namely the need for that product and how much buyers are willing to pay for it. Even if an inventor has a noble social cause in mind, patent fees, wages and daily operation costs can amount to great financial burden. Only when its intended consumers are able and willing to pay to obtain the invention can it become genuinely successful. As proven by the case of the TV, commercial success can come at a much later date.
Thus, it's recommended that inventors take time to record their ideas and developments concerning the invention. Even if there are similar ideas in the market that solve the same problem, studying the concept of existing solutions and improving on them can lead to the product having a mass appeal. During the process of seeking investors, clients and collaborators, it's also important to ensure that the invention idea is protected from theft through legal frameworks like patents, copyrights and trademarks.

Transferring Behavioral Interventions for Global Health: Intellectual Property Barriers, Information Constraints, and Possible Solutions
Diseases are "biosocial realities": health problems arise not only from biological vulnerability to disease but also from complex systems of environmental risk factors. Such factors range from individual risks, such as behavior and exposure, to mid-level risks, such as neighborhood and culture, to large-scale structural risks, such as war and intellectual property regimes. Each layer of risk presents an opportunity to intervene and to modify not only individual biological and behavioral processes but also the social and structural contexts that threaten health.
Practitioners and researchers in the global health field have for decades emphasized effective biomedical interventions for improving health, often focusing on technology that addresses physiological causes and cures: pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and clinical protocols designed to address the biomedical components of disease. More recently, health researchers have focused on international- and national-level determinants of health, such as international intellectual property interests, poverty and marginalization, conflict, climate change, human rights abuses, market forces, brain drain, and other social factors. Improving access to highly effective technological interventions is undoubtedly a critical priority in global health.

You never know what history you're going to find when you're riding a bike around this city. During this ride, as I was riding in the Cardoza neighborhood near U Street in northwest D.C., I happened upon a historical marker on a cast iron fence that surrounded a grey townhouse at the end of the block at the corner of S and 15th Streets. In turned out to have been placed there to mark the house, located at 1461 S Street (MAP), where Georgia Douglas Johnson once lived. So naturally, I later researched her to find about the woman who once lived at that house, and was important enough to be recognized.
Georgia Douglas Johnson was an African American poet and playwright. She is best known for her collections of poetry: "The Heart of a Woman" (1918) (see below), "Bronze" (1922), "An Autumn Love Cycle" (1928) and later, "Share My World" (1962). In addition to poetry, Georgia also wrote over two dozen plays, and authored a newspaper column for over a decade. Throughout her life she wrote 200 poems, 28 plays and 31 short stories. For her works, she was considered an important member of the "New Negro Movement," an intellectual, social, and artistic explosion centered in Harlem, New York, spanning the 1920s. The New Nego Movement would later become known as the "Harlem Renaissance."
Born in Atlanta, Georgia on September 10, 1877, Georgia Blanche Douglas Camp was born to Laura Douglas and George Camp. Her mother was of African and Native American descent, and her father was of African-American and English heritage. She grew up and received her education in Georgia, graduating from Atlanta University's Normal School in 1896. She then went on to become a teacher, but resigned to pursue her love of music, attending Oberlin Conservatory of Music in Ohio. After studying at Oberlin, she returned to Georgia and returned to the educational field.
She married Henry Lincoln Johnson, an Atlanta lawyer and prominent Republican Party member, on September 28, 1903. Henry's law career brought them to D.C. in 1910, when Henry received an appointment as the Recorder of Deeds from President William Howard Taft. It was his career that kept them here as well. So although she was considered an important member of the Harlem Renaissance, she was never a New York City resident, neither when the movement was in full swing in the 1920s or after. Instead, she and her family continued to live here in D.C.
Georgia and her husband had two sons, Henry Lincoln Johnson, Jr., and Peter Douglas Johnson. But by the time they became teenagers, her husband passed away, leaving her alone to raise their boys. This began a difficult period in her life, as she struggled to raise two boys and provide for her family financially. As a gesture of appreciation for her late husband's loyalty and service, President Calvin Coolidge, a devoted member of the Republican Party, appointed Georgia the Commissioner of Conciliation, a position within the Department of Labor. So throughout the last 50 years of her life, Georgia raised and supported her family alone, while continuing and expanding her writings.
Also after her husband's death, Johnson began to host weekly "Saturday Salons" for friends and authors, including Langston Hughes, Jean Toomer, Anne Spencer, Richard Bruce Nugent, Alain Locke, Jessie Redmon Fauset, Angelina Weld Grimké and Eulalie Spence, and many of the other noted women writers of what would become known as the Harlem Renaissance. The S Street House, which became known at that time as the "S Street Salon," became a satellite of sorts for others who were part of the Harlem Renaissance to meet, socialize, discuss their work, and exchange ideas while they were visiting the nation's segregated capital. Gloria called her home the "Half Way House" for friends traveling, and where those with no money and no place to stay would be welcome.
Gloria died in 1969 at the age of 85. And as she lay in her deathbed, one of her sister playwrights and a former participant of the S Street Salon, sat by her bedside "stroking her hand and repeating the words, 'Poet Georgia Douglas Johnson'."

The Heart of a Woman
The heart of a woman goes forth with the dawn,
As a lone bird, soft winging, so restlessly on,
Afar o'er life's turrets and vales does it roam
In the wake of those echoes the heart calls home.
The heart of a woman falls back with the night,
And enters some alien cage in its plight,
And tries to forget it has dreamed of the stars
While it breaks, breaks, breaks on the sheltering bars.
Note: The house has undergone numerous renovations over the years, during which previous owners divided it into flats, and later turned it into a group home. It was recently renovated and restored. And last year, the six-bedroom, six-bathroom, 4,100-square-foot property was on the market for $2.875 million.

Home Depot Sales Miss Estimates; Shares Fall
Home Depot Inc (HD.N) reported weaker-than-expected quarterly sales on Tuesday after demand slowed in April following a jump in home improvement projects spurred by warm weather earlier in the year.
The news sent shares of the world's largest home improvement chain down more than 3 percent and caused an analyst to lower his sales estimates for smaller rival Lowe's (LOW.N), which plans to report its results next week.
Spring is traditionally the biggest selling season of the year for home improvement chains. But this year, homeowners stepped out earlier to take advantage of unseasonably warm winter weather across the United States.
Sales at Home Depot rose 5.9 percent to $17.81 billion in the first quarter ended on April 29, but missed the analysts' average estimate of $17.96 billion.
"The sales miss could be linked to a mediocre increase in the average transaction value, which suggests continued so-so sales in big-ticket merchandise categories and a heavy influence from seasonal products," said Brian Sozzi, chief equities analyst at NBG Productions.
The average transaction price at Home Depot rose 2.2 percent to $54.51 in the quarter.
Sales at stores open at least a year rose 5.8 percent globally, including a 6.1 percent rise in the United States.
Wall Street analysts were looking for a global same-store sales rise of 6.5 percent in the quarter, Oppenheimer analyst Brian Nagel said.
"We believe Home Depot was comping in the high single digits in the first two months of the quarter, suggesting that April's comp was squarely in the low single-digit range," JPMorgan analyst Christopher Horvers said ahead of the company's conference call.
Horvers, who was expecting a same-store sales rise of 5 percent for Lowe's, now sees an increase of only about 4 percent.
Other analysts said expectations for the home improvement sector had been high before Home Depot released its results.
The company's net earnings rose to $1.04 billion, or 68 cents a share, from $812 million, or 50 cents a share, a year earlier.
Excluding a benefit from the termination of its guarantee of a senior secured loan, Home Depot earned 65 cents a share, meeting analysts' estimates, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Home Depot, which has been quicker to cut costs than rival Lowe's (LOW.N), has benefited as housing demand has picked up in regions where it has a heavy presence. It has also gained from opening more centralized distribution facilities.
The company expects sales to pick up later in the year. It sees fiscal-year sales rising about 4.6 percent, up from its prior outlook calling for a 4 percent increase. It raised its profit outlook for the year to $2.90 a share from a prior forecast of $2.79.
The outlook implies a 1 percent to 2 percent rise in same-store sales for the rest of the year, which is probably conservative, UBS analyst Michael Lasser said.
Shares of Home Depot were down 3.2 percent at $48.30 in premarket trading.

Servant Girl / 女奴
Moonlight reflects on her furrowed forehead
Frosty dew chills the stone bench, icy water soaks the grease-stained apron
Willow trees with budding green leaves, mirrored in her eyes, tilt towards the lonely light
Dustpan and bamboo broom rest by the front steps
Moonlight reflects on her furrowed forehead
Inch-thick spring dust deepens her eyebrows
Sh-chiu Sh-chiu, echoes softly through the fluttering breeze
ka ka, the thrashing sounds of clothes washed under the hanging stars
Moonlight reflects on her furrowed forehead
Are the other imprisoned young maids, gazing at the moon?
What about the concubines in Emperor Tang Ming Huang's* palace? Moon!
When will the candlelight turn red inside her bridal chamber?
Moonlight reflects on her furrowed forehead
Layers of green moss thicken on the rocks under the front steps
Dare not look into the mirror, for where should the tears of resentment be directed?
Tonight, will the fragrant tuberose bring sweet dream?
Moonlight reflects on her furrowed forehead.
*Tang Ming Huang (include his year of reign info etc. here)
Do Not Despise Taiwan / 毋通嫌台灣
If we love our ancestors
please do not despise Taiwan
although our land is narrow
the sweat of our father, blood of our mother
flows deep and all over the earth
If we love our descendants
Please do not despise Taiwan
surrounded by rice fields, and mountains
sweet fruits and fragrant grains
our future generation will never eat emptiness
If we love our birthplace
Please do not despise Taiwan
although our livelihood is not easy
with diligence, hard work, our future shines bright
our happiness is assured.
"Ian Tsi Lui" Lovers / 胭脂淚裡的戀影
Excerpted from Chapter 10, Section 3 of the book, "Ian Tsi Lui(胭脂淚)"
In the dusky hours of midnight
two anguished lovers
perched on the desolate river bank
bemoaned the blood feud among their ancestors.
Enmity between the clans congealed
into an ice-cold heartless knife
that slashed their thread of love, fated by divine providence.
In the previous era, rustic and provincial,
the sixteen year old, gentle, pure young girl
dared not defy the tenet dictated from her clan.
Neither was the pensive young man strong enough to oppose the old conventions.
Together they faced a bitter frigid death
exchanging their lives for their vision of rebirth.
In this moment,
the young man, with his muscular strong arms
embraced his love tightly to his chest
intertwined their bodies into one
molded their flesh and blood together into a statute.
The autumn breeze spun itself into a soft comb
trailing the girl's long silky hair bottom toward the water
shattering the moonlight into pieces
like glittering crystals on the bed of the river
drifting to and fro.
As the moonlight faded into the horizon,
silent tears seeped from the statute's eyes.
As they dried up, each drop, scarlet,
stained the desolate river bank.
The union of their identical blood drops
turned into precious crimson gems
leaving traces of the love
of three incarnations from the womb, at the bottom of the river.
The disheartened stars ceased to illuminate the night sky.
The anguished lovers
transformed their utter despair into courage.
Depleted of blood, but hearts determined
the entwined couple plunged into the river of life
that meandered towards the end of the village
carrying their doomed love of this incarnation
towards the faraway hereafter.

On Sept. 8, 2013, UCLA football walk-on Nick Pasquale was hit by an automobile and killed. He was alive just 20 years, but the impression he made in that short time is evident in the reaction to his death.
A year later, the Bruins continue to honor both his memory and his family, both of which were the subject of Episode 3 of The Drive.
America knew some of the story last year, particularly the week of the Bruins' first game without Pasquale. UCLA scored an emphatic, come-from-behind victory over Nebraska, which culminated with Brett Hundley waving a towel that had Pasquale's number etched on it.
Jim Mora's message to the Pasquale family on the ABC postgame interview provided a small, yet touching insight into the relationships coaches develop with their players.
Wednesday's episode of The Drive goes much deeper into that dynamic.
You've probably heard coaches discuss college football as a business. That same principle was plainly evident in all the discussion of the NCAA and revenue distribution that shaped the offseason.
But scrape away the layers of cynicism that have built around college football, and at its core, there remains the soul that separates it from the truly businesslike NFL.
Nick Pasquale embodied that soul, as The Drive Episode 3 demonstrates. He overcame his own limitations to find a spot on the team, and he left a lasting impression on his teammates. UCLA's dedication of his No. 36 to the hardest working and most committed walk-on player is a testament to the special bonds college football teams can build.
The bond between the Bruins and the Pasquale family demonstrates just how important those personal relationships can be.
It's also something of a reminder that the football program is still a part of the university culture. This ostensibly makes players students and coaches teachers.
Mora seems to embrace that role; it's a mantra he often talked up last season and continues to emphasize in the 2014 season. He's worn that cap especially proudly since Pasquale's death.
I cannot accurately convey just how emotional or meaningful Episode of The Drive really is. No matter your team allegiances, this is one episode that is truly a must-watch.

Recently on Sam Roberts' Wrestling Podcast, Mick and Noelle Foley were on the podcast to discuss their new WWE Network show, Holy Foley. Among other things, Noelle talked about having a crush on Randy Orton when she was younger, how she got involved with her current boyfriend, Frank the Clown, and her parents wanting her to be gay.
On the subject of Randy Orton, Noelle said that she had a crush on 'The Viper' when she was in high school and she told a funny story about finding out that Orton smells "fruity".
"We were backstage, probably five years ago and Randy Orton drops his shirt. And I'm like, 'dad, Randy [has] just dropped his shirt' and he calls back. He's like, 'Randy, you dropped your shirt' and Randy's like, 'oh, you can have it', like pointing to me. First thing I do is smell the shirt because that's me. And it was fruity! Randy Orton smells fruity."
According to Noelle, she became interested in her current boyfriend, WWE superfan, Frank the Clown, after seeing him at WWE SummerSlam three years ago.
"I just saw him from far away and was pretty much checking him out. Like, I was the creeper in this situation. I don't know. I just stopped and stared at him. Like, 'wow, he's different and weird - I like that!'" Noelle added, "I guess his weirdness attracted me. And so, like, two or three weeks later, I saw him, like, in the front row at RAW, and I tweeted him."
The self-anointed 'Cactus Jill' claimed that other men do not really catch her eye.
"Well, here's the thing: I haven't found any other guy I even liked. Like, I don't really like guys all that much because I feel like it's the same thing, like, 'oh, look at me,'" Noelle admitted. "I feel like if I wasn't dating Frank, I wouldn't be dating anyone. Like, no one catches my eye. Like, oh sure, you can be attractive and muscular. That's great for you, but if you don't have a personality, why would I like you?"
Noelle asserted that her parents have always wanted her to be gay.
"[Mick Foley] wants me to have a relationship with someone that's not Frank," Noelle continued, "my dad and my mom have always wanted me to be gay. Always. From the beginning."

Beyonce To Perform At BRIT Awards 2013?
17 January 2013, 08:51
The 'Countdown' singer has been linked to a slot on the line-up for this year's awards ceremony.
Beyonce is reportedly set to return to the UK next month for a huge performance at the BRIT Awards 2013.
The 'Love On Top' singer has been linked to a performance slot at this year's event at London's O2 Arena, fresh from her upcoming Super Bowl 2013 halftime show at the start of February.
"Beyonce coming to The Brits is a huge coup for organisers," a source told The Sun this week. "She's among the best live pop acts on the planet and will have brand new material to play for the audience.
"The last time she played The Brits, nine years ago, was at the start of her solo career singing 'Crazy In Love'," they added. 'So it's apt that she's back this year."
If confirmed, Beyonce will join the likes of One Direction, Robbie Williams, Emeli Sande and Muse on the line-up for this year's BRITs, where she is also up for Best International Female Artist.
Both the BRIT Awards and Beyonce have yet to make any official comment surrounding rumours of her involvement with the show.
Check out a picture Beyonce shared with her followers on Instagram last week below Credit:Instagram):
Beyonce is currently preparing to announce details of her fifth studio album in the coming weeks, after already confirming the involvement of stars including Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams and Timbaland.
The 'Countdown' singer has also reunited with her Destiny's Child bandmates to release a new compilation album called 'Love Songs', which features a brand new song from the trio called 'Nuclear'.
The BRIT Awards 2013 is set to take place at the O2 Arena on 20th February.

I have been a member at Asbury Church since 2002 when my husband Bobby and I fell in love with the people here and decided to make it our community. I am a mom to 4 amazing kids, 1 cockapoo, 1 bunny and currently 2 chickens (we will see how long that lasts). I started my employment at Asbury on a part-time basis in 2011 running our KidStuf program. I have been serving as the Children's Ministry Director since June 2015.
My passion has always been for kids. I worked in camp settings in college and have always loved kids, all the way back to my first babysitting job when I was 11. I feel privileged to be allowed to partner in ministry with so many amazing people that God brings into our programs each year. I am constantly challenged to do my best to partner with families and help them grow together while teaching their kids about our faith. It's amazing to see how God grows me as I work to teach our kids and empower our leaders.

Smothered Cajun-Spiced Squash
Here, we've sprinkled roasted butter-nut squash with Cajun seasoning, then smothered it in a gravy made with what New Orleans chefs call the holy trinity: a combination of onions, celery, and green bell peppers. Serve with rice or grits.
- 8Servings
- 1 clove garlic, minced (1 tsp.)
- 1/4 cup plus 1 Tbs. olive oil, divided
- 2 butternut squash, quartered and seeded, each quarter halved
- 2 Tbs. plus 8 tsp. Cajun seasoning, or more to taste, divided
- 4 large onions, halved and sliced (8 cups)
- 4 medium red or green bell peppers, quartered and sliced (2 cups)
- 8 large celery ribs, sliced on the bias (2 cups)
- 5 Tbs. flour
- 11/2 Tbs. cider vinegar
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine 1 Tbs. oil and garlic in small bowl. Brush garlic-oil mixture over butternut squash pieces, and place on baking sheet. Sprinkle each squash piece with ½ tsp. Cajun seasoning, and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until squash pieces are tender enough to easily pierce with fork.
2. Meanwhile, heat remaining ¼ cup oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, bell peppers, and celery, and cook 20 to 25 minutes, or until vegetables are soft and beginning to brown, stirring occasionally.

The Faculty of Science brings collectively 10 numerous faculties and departments to offer outstanding quality educating and research alternatives. Efforts to reproduce that discovering have since failed, as Science reported in February 2016. Weinberg's pleas for selfless honesty" in drawing the lines of expertise have gone largely unheeded, as scientists have, over the previous forty years, typically sought to not distinguish trans-science from science however to try — by means of what amounts to a modern sort of alchemy — to transmute trans-science into science.
Third — and that is the hardest and scariest lesson — science will probably be made extra dependable and more priceless for society at this time not by being protected against societal influences however as a substitute by being introduced, rigorously and appropriately, into a direct, open, and intimate relationship with those influences. The problem with this manner of doing science is that for any massive body of information pertaining to a fancy downside with many variables, the number of potential causal hyperlinks between variables is inestimably larger than the number a scientist might really assume up and check.
Previously, virtually everything was analog but due to the science and technology we at the moment are being digitalized by the day. We invite you to make use of these webpages to additional discover the College of Science: our packages, our research, and our folks. However Fitzpatrick also wonders if biomedical science undervalues other forms of research that would provide options to pressing problems.
The proper question is why it took a fearless lawyer to get science to do what the lie tells us will happen robotically. Arithmetic , which is classified as a formal science , 69 70 has both similarities and differences with the empirical sciences (the pure and social sciences). Such info is readily available but has been incorrectly classified by tribal medical science as belonging to out of date junk DNA.
Science has invented ways to peep contained in the human body to tackle ailments of human beings by means of X-ray machines. The reason is that individuals need to acknowledge that there are people who find themselves affected by the science and know-how. His research led to a human survival map to follow so that civilization could avoid extinction from creating a science leading to the emergence of this nuclear destruction from inside the atom.
