Charles 1
1The name of two kings of England, Scotland, and Ireland:
1.1 Charles I (1600–49), son of James I, reigned 1625–49. His reign was dominated by the deepening religious and constitutional crisis that resulted in the English Civil War 1642-9. After the battle of Naseby, Charles tried to regain power in alliance with the Scots, but his forces were defeated in 1648 and he was tried by a special Parliamentary court and beheaded.
1.2 Charles II (1630–85), son of Charles I, reigned 1660–85. Charles was restored to the throne after the collapse of Cromwell's regime and displayed considerable adroitness in handling the difficult constitutional situation, although continuing religious and political strife dogged his reign.

Charles 2
1.1 Charles I (1500–58), son of Philip I, reigned 1516–56, Holy Roman emperor (as Charles V) 1519–56. His reign was characterized by the struggle against Protestantism in Germany, rebellion in Castile, and war with France (1521–44). Exhausted by these struggles, Charles handed Naples, the Netherlands, and Spain over to his son Philip II and the imperial Crown to his brother Ferdinand, and retired to a monastery.
1.4 Charles IV (1748–1819), reigned 1788–1808. During the Napoleonic Wars he suffered the loss of the Spanish fleet, destroyed along with that of France at Trafalgar in 1805. Following the French invasion of Spain in 1807, Charles was forced to abdicate.

1.3 Charles III (839–888), reigned 881–887.
1.4 Charles IV (1316–1378), reigned 1355–1378.
1.5 Charles V Charles I of Spain (see Charles2).
1.6 Charles VI (1685–1740), reigned 1711–40. His claim to the Spanish throne instigated the War of the Spanish Succession, but he was ultimately unsuccessful. He drafted the Pragmatic Sanction in an attempt to ensure that his daughter succeeded to the Habsburg dominions; this triggered the War of the Austrian Succession after his death.
1.7 Charles VII (1697–1745), reigned 1742–45.

"RE: D300 LiveView = Mirror Lock-up (?)"
That's not the point.Nikon put what could be a very useful feature for me on the 300S and then ruined it by flopping the mirror for no reason. I primarily shoot bracketed exposures on a tripod where using the rear LCD would be very useful. I need the exposures to be taken rapidly for HDR without the mirror vibration.Considering the much higher IQ of the Fuji x bodies vs the D300S, I'm very tempted to make the switch. Too bad nobody is in the business of hacking Nikon firmware. That is a fix that I'd pay for.Bill

Apple sued over iPhone locking, DRM patent violationsApple has been hit with two new lawsuits: one which charges the iPhone maker with antitrust violations for permanently disabling unlocked versions of its touch-screen handset, and another that accuses the company — along with several other tech giants and adult media publishers — with violating a DRM-related patent.
Suit over bricked iPhones
On Friday, California resident Timothy Smith filed a class-action lawsuit against Apple, alleging that the company is violating the state's Cartwright Act by prohibiting iPhone consumers from using and purchasing cell phone service other than through AT&T.
Filed on behalf of Smith by Damian Fernandez, the attorney who's been seeking plaintiffs for a class-action case against Apple over iPhone bricking, the suit claims that cell phone unlocking is completely legal and cites traditional copyright law as well as the more recent Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
The formal complaint, which does not yet seek monetary damages, asks the court to issue an injunction that would prevent Apple from selling the iPhone with any software lock. It also asks that Apple be enjoined from denying warranty service to users of unlocked iPhones and from requiring iPhone users to get their phone service through AT&T.
Suit over DRM patent violations
Meanwhile, AppleInsider has learned that Apple on Friday was also named in new patent infringement suit along with digital media heavyweights Microsoft, Blockbuster, Sony, and Macrovision, as well as adult content providers Playboy and Hustler.
The 11-page complaint, filed in the patent litigation-friendly district of Tyler, Texas, charges each of the firms with violating U.S. patent #6389541 for "Regulating Access to Digital Content," which was issued to Digital Reg of Texas, LLC in May of 2002.
"Upon information and belief, Apple has infringed and continues to infringe the [...] patent by making, using, providing, offering to sell, and selling (directly or through intermediaries), in this district and elsewhere in the United States, digital content incorporating DRM technology," the suit claims. "Apple provides such content through its iTunes Music Store and its iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store. Apple further provides controlled access and play out of digital content incorporating DRM technology through its iTunes Player.

Spokane pursues scofflaw parkers
Five Spokane drivers have ignored the city's parking laws with abandon, each collecting more than 200 tickets.
The sum of all those violations exceeds $30,000 in fines.
In hopes of collecting some of that money, the city is about to employ an old remedy.
After a 26-year absence, parking boots will return to the streets of Spokane next summer. Parking agents with a get-tough mandate and expanded authority will immobilize the cars of prolific parking offenders with the steel wheel traps. The most brazen will have their cars towed and impounded.
Spokane's scofflaw ordinance, passed unanimously by the City Council on Monday, follows a trend among cities in the region growing tired of turning a blind eye to problem parkers racking up thousands of dollars in overdue tickets.
There are 85,000 unpaid parking tickets on the city's books; if paid, they would net the city $4 million.
Seattle passed a similar ordinance more than two years ago, and results there in collecting overdue fines and cutting down on repeat parking offenders bode well for the program in Spokane.
Municipal court records indicate more than 2,000 of Spokane's outstanding citations belong to 10 people, all of whom have accrued more than 40 times the number of tickets (four) that now authorize the city to use a boot, a device that locks to the wheel of a car to prevent the vehicle from being driven. After eight overdue tickets, the city may impound the car.
The list of top offenders indicates how difficult it has been for the city to get people to pay. Records indicate many of those listed by the court live and work in Spokane and downtown. There's no discernible pattern in their employment.
A 45-day window will be given to offenders to settle their debts before boots are deployed. Under the law, offenders will be able to work out a payment plan with the municipal court that enables them to retrieve their car after promising to follow a fee schedule.
The parking revisions are among the most sweeping in the city since the use of boots was ended on Jan. 1, 1988. The city's Finance Department then cited excessive costs as the reason to mothball the city's 30 boots after the state ordered parking tickets to be handled by the municipal court rather than City Hall.
The city says the boots were held in storage until the early 1990s, when they were listed as surplus equipment and sold. Dave Steele, a city planner who helped draft the new parking laws, said Spokane will look to buy 15 new devices, though they won't be flashy.
"The goal of the city is to stay as low-tech as possible," Steele said.
At the time boot use was stopped, city officials were also concerned about a legal challenge to the boot that threatened to derail parking enforcement. Those fears appear to have been assuaged by the widespread passage of scofflaw ordinances in recent years. Boise, Olympia and Seattle all have laws targeting their worst parking offenders.
Tyler Johnson, director of parking services in Boise, said the city towed four cars last week under its ordinance, which enables towing after five unpaid tickets but does not use boots.
"The tow is a lot cleaner," Johnson said, adding the city didn't have to keep track of its equipment clamped to the wheels of parked cars lining the streets. Boise's frequent offenders have not amassed nearly the amount of outstanding tickets as parkers in Spokane. According to Johnson's records, the highest number of unpaid tickets for one person is 18.
Spokane's ordinance more closely resembles one passed by Seattle two summers ago, where parking offenders have the same four/eight ticket threshold; boots are used; and scofflaws have the choice of setting up a fine payment schedule.
According to a report Seattle issued one year after the law was passed, the scofflaw list and booting procedure cut down on repeat parking offenders. The city announced it had collected $2.8 million from repeat parking offenders and reduced the number of people who had four or more outstanding parking tickets in collections by about 7 percent. There was a slight increase in drivers with three or fewer tickets.
Seattle officials estimated at the time they were identifying and booting about half of those on their scofflaw list, citing out-of-town drivers and vehicles no longer on the roads as the offenders not reached.
Spokane officials have said booting and towing will likely begin in the middle of 2014, after they have sent notices to those on the scofflaw list and given them time to pay their tickets.

Travel Troubles
Kiwi travellers found themselves stranded in San Francisco for two straight days after the fatal crash of a Korean plane put much of the city's airport out of commission.
Allan Mouat, from Havelock North, was one of about 300 people preparing to board an Air New Zealand flight from San Francisco International Airport to Auckland yesterday morning when the Asiana Airlines Boeing 777 crashed on approach, killing at least two people and injuring dozens more.
The airport was immediately closed and the Air NZ flight was cancelled. It was a further blow to many of those on that flight, as it had already been delayed the night before because of mechanical problems.
Mr Mouat did not see the crash because it happened near a different terminal. "I actually found out about it on the internet before they told us at the gate. You could see fire trucks and that racing around . . . but it seemed like it was all happening some distance away.
"Everybody was pretty calm. When it finally got announced [30 minutes later], people were pretty solemn. It's not a nice feeling to know something like that has happened."
Mr Mouat, like many of those on the flight, had booked connecting flights from Auckland. Air NZ was doing a good job of looking after the stranded travellers and finding them temporary accommodation, he said.
"Most people have been pretty good considering the situation. No-one is throwing a hissy fit, as far as I've seen."
Dominion Post racing editor Tim Barton, who was also meant to be on the flight, said it was surprising how little panic or concern there was at the airport just after the crash.
"We didn't see any action at all for quite some time. At one stage, a bunch of medics came rushing through the gate area and there were quite a few ambulances lined up outside. But there wasn't any sort of immediate chaos outside the windows to indicate there had been a crash."
He ended up having to spend three days in the same clothes because he was not able to get his luggage back after the first flight delay.
But he said most people were being understanding about their plight. "A couple of people lost their lives, so people are being pretty reasonable."

This newer method of using more sophisticated tools helps determine the patients hair restoration needs and gives more specific measurements when providing treatments for future procedures.
"We now use sophisticated internet applications to transfer patient data in real-time. This allows me to have immediate access during actual consultations which are held at different locations" said Dr. Mohebi.
The newest US Hair Restoration site to use assisted telemedicine is the Bakersfield office located in the heart of Central California's, San Joaquin Valley. Bakersfield is 111 miles north of Los Angeles and is the ninth largest city in California. It is a central hub for commuter transit between Southern and Central California.

Management: perspective and practice
In this free course, Management: perspective and practice, you will be studying different ways to think about understanding organisations and approaches to managing the people who work within them.
The theories and models in this course look at the organisational context (the 'organisation', the 'context' and the 'wider environment' of) and helps you to begin to answer the question:
How does my organisation context and environment affect my management practice?
This course is comprised of:
Exploring ideas, Understanding organisations and Organisational culture
- discussing ways that organisational theorists have characterised organisational structures and cultures, and the impact of different national cultures on organisational practice and ways in which managers might make sense of these
- a short pre-reading activity asking you to think about a problem/opportunity situation in your own context, to see how these theories and models are both relevant and irrelevant to your own management practice.
Creative problem solving
- developing your skills in creative problem solving by learning some techniques based on systems theory
- learning how to use case studies and their analysis to better understand and apply the ideas you are studying.
Making connections
- thinking more closely about your organisation's culture and how you can use metaphors to better understand the way organisations work.

Wind Star Cruise Review by Fair911: Athens to Istanbul
Overall Member Rating
Athens to Istanbul
Destination: Mediterranean
Embarkation: Athens (Piraeus)
Our first trip on Windstar . We have been on the Star Clippers at least 4 times and our Travel Agent suggested this when our trip arrangements could not match . Whilst we we enjoyed the destinations Athens to Istanbul and the Greek Islands the Windstar has some issues. These are old but refurbished boats that have had a " powder puff". The cabins are very nice and well laid out with a nice bathroom, but very noise .we had paid extra to be on the second deck. Not worth it. The Breakfast was very good and the Evening meals had a good choice . However lunch was the same every day and a bit monotonous.
One complaint was that they were always trying to "sell" you additions either drinks or shore trips all the time, thus " clipping the ticket" . The cruise seems to be designed to get you on board then to sell sell.it would not be to bad , but wine and drink prices were over the top compared to the quality. We just bought ashore our wine and had Pre dinner drinks in our cabin. We know a More lot of other Cruise lines have adopted the same strategy but were disappointed that on recommendations that Winstar would be different. Not so.
The Captain was a delight ,very friendly and always up for a chat and an update. However the Cruise Director got the nickname among the passengers as" motor mouth" .Always on the sell and have I got a deal for you!
So look at the other reviews ,and balance with these comments. It does not match the friendly small intimate other Cruise Lines are providing in our experience, particularly from a discerning previously travel customer. Less

Central Banks Print Money But Fail To End Crisis by John de Roe.
The Daily Stirrer brings you opinion and comment on issues in the news that are likely to affect the lives of ordinary people. We therefore focus on economic matters, prices and inflation, jobs and unemployment, health, diet, education and social comment. Our contributors are old gits who are prepared to say what everybody is thinking. We do not like control freakery, bureaucracy, corporate fraud and fascism, politics, politically correct thinking, junk science or tax eaters. You've been warned.
The figures will intensify fears that the extra cash flooding the system is responsible for rising stock markets, rather than any recovery in corporate health or investor confidence.
Erik Britton, a director at Fathom, compared the development to throwing lighter fuel on a barbecue. The question is, he said, "whether the coals are lit".
The warning is the result of the extraordinary measures to prop up the financial system, which have seen central banks resort to strategies such as buying up bonds to keep the flow of money circulating. The central banks have also tried to stimulate economic activity by holding base interest rates insanely low. All that achieve was by enabling banks to borrow from government at 0.5% and by buying treasury bonds, in effect lend the money back again at 3%, was to make matters worse.
With such easy money on offer the banks had no need to take on riskier loans to businesses.
Fathom's economists are worried that last year may have marked the high point of the global recovery. "It remains unclear how much of the equity market rally has been 'genuine', rather than simply a 'mopping up' of that extraordinary injection of liquidity," they warned. "As that stimulus is gradually withdrawn, further gains in equity markets will be harder to achieve."
The Demise Of Dollar Hegemony: Russia Breaks Wall Streets's Oil-Price Monopoly
In a move that went almost completely unreported in mainstream media, Russia has recently opened a market for the trading of physical and 'paper' oil (futures) in Moscow in Roubles. This is the most blatant challenge yet to the domination of the US dollar in world trade.
Baltic Dry Index Crashes. The Global Economy Is Coming To A Standstill
Since we reported in November that The Baltic Dry Index, published by London's Baltic Exchange, had hit record lows, this little known but very important trade index has continued falling. Which means there is not much stuff moving round the world, which means not much trade is getting done. Which means we're in trouble.
Naked Bankers Go For Gold
... That gold sale in 2013 was a naked short. The seller had no gold to sell. COMEX reported having gold only equal to about half of the short sale in its vaults, and not all of that was available for delivery (quite a lot of it belonged to the german government) In effect the naked shorting of gold could only work because really the right hand was selling to the left hand.

US General Breedlove admits: NATO did foment war in Ukraine
Alternative media, the many thousands of amateur and semi - professional news and opinion websites such as this one were reporting as long ago as 2014 that the US / NATO / EU line on the revolution in Ukraine was a great big steaming pile of bullshit. We knew for example that the CIA had funded and organised the right wing extremist groups responsible for overthrowing the democratically elected (though admittedly corrupt) government.
Will 'President Trump' Mean The End Of NATO?
If Donald Trump is elected US president it will spell the end of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. At least, that's how a phalanx of US foreign policy pundits and establishment figures see it. Trump once again caused uproar recently with comments that were viewed as undermining a «cornerstone» of US foreign policy since the Second World War.
Migrant Sex Criminal: I Hate Sweden, I'm Just Here to Fuck Swedish Girls
One of the victims of a man who allegedly raped sexually harassed four women in a small town in Sweden has told the local newspaper that he hates Sweden and is only there so that he can "fuck Swedish girls".

Situation in East Ukraine Remains Unstable

US Green Party Candidate Jill Stein Attacks Bernie Sanders For Selling Out To Neo - Con Establishment
Amid a wave of disgust at the way Bernie Sanders, who presented himself as the anti - establishment candidate, was cheated out of the nomination by a process the Democratic Party National Committee blatantly rigged in favour of Hillary Clinton, threatened to fight on to the bitter end but on the opening day of the Democrat's party convention lamely sold out by endorsing the fraudulent candidacy of the corrupt and allegedly treasonous Mrs. Clinton, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein says WikiLeaks' explosive release of Democratic National Committee emails prove the Democratic Party intentionally sabotaged Bernie Sanders' campaign.
Leak from Gernamy's Bundeswehr Shows NATO Preparing For War With Russia
You will be blissfully unaware of this shocking news if you are the kind of person who relies on mainstream media for your information, but a dangerous alliance of Washington's neo-con / neo-lib hawks and the European Union's bureaucratic dictatorship are working flat out to convince Russia that NATO is preparing to attack. To be honest, I suspected for weeks something big was going on but my suspicions were only confirmed in the past few days.
Turkey Launches Purge Of People Who Claim Coup Was A Hoax
Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag said in an interview with Turkey's Kanal 7 television station Sunday that anyone who suggests the coup attempt was staged likely had a role in the insurrection, which was defeated by loyalist forces and pro-government protesters. There has been some internet speculation that Erdogan engineered the unrest in order to rally support prior to a massive and planned power grab which in effect usurps all the powers of the elected assembly ...

End Of An Era: The Collapse Of The Petrodollar System
In the years following World War Two, the U.S.A. was the world's only exporter of crude oil and petroleum products. This freedom from international obligations supported the US economy, helped the US dollar emerge as the main reserve currency and gave the American government the independence to pursue its geopolitical goals without considering the effect on diplomatic relations with allies and rivals. Up to 1970 and a little beyond, the U.S.A. always maintained a trade balance with the rest of the world.
In September 2012 the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology (FCT) published the research of a team led by the French biologist Professor Gilles-Eric Séralini, which found liver and kidney toxicity and hormonal disturbances in rats fed Monsanto's GM maize NK603 and very small doses of the Roundup herbicide it is grown with, over a long-term period. An additional observation was a trend of increased tumours in most treatment groups.from Natural Blaze

In January 2015 a group of Haitians surrounded the New York offices of the Clinton Foundation. They chanted slogans, accusing Bill and Hillary Clinton of having robbed them of "billions of dollars." Two months later, the Haitians were at it again, accusing the Clintons of duplicity, malfeasance, and theft. And in May 2015, they were back, this time outside New York's Cipriani, where Bill Clinton received an award and collected a $500,000 check for his foundation.

Welcome to The Greenteeth Defending Free Speech Catalogue
Events in recent years have shown us democracy is a sham. From the USA where big money owns the political system through the European Union where the bureaucrats of the European Commission in Brussels openly express contempt for the elected governments of member states and clearly state that the faux - democratic European Parliament is irrelevant, and the wishes of member states are not considered, it is up to the bureaucrats and experts to do what is right for Europe, WE THE PEOPLE are fighting a war like none we have fought before as the political, financial and academic elites try to disempower the masses. Only through our right of Free Speech can we expose the corruption and self interest at the heart of the system and hold to account the people who would create a global, authoritarian government.

Every year, the world's richest and most powerful business executives, bankers, media heads and politicians sit down in some luxurious and heavily guarded venue, and discuss how to steer the global economy in a way that maximizes profits for all involved, while perpetuating a status quo that has been highly beneficial for a select few, even if it means the ongoing destruction of the middle and working classes and the creation of a servile, uneducated, ill informed underclass, the 'proleteriat' of Karl Marx' writing..

Kodak EasyShare 5500 All-In-One
- Good mix of photo and office features, cheap ink, automatic duplexing
- Expensive, a little slow, no networking, very expensive
Bottom Line
Kodak deserves credit for its economical inks and focus on photo quality. Unfortunately, these attributes together cannot overcome the Kodak EasyShare 5500 All-In-One's disappointing speed and fairly high price.
Price$ 399.00 (AUD)
Best Deals (Selling at 2 stores)
Special Offers
The Kodak EasyShare 5500 All-In-One's poky speed and high price detract from this multifunction printer's useful small-office/home-office and shutterbug features.
The Kodak EasyShare 5500 All-In-One takes all major camera-card formats. The control panel's tiltable, 2.4in colour LCD displays photos from your inserted media. The menus offer basic printing choices such as layout and quantity; you also get control-panel buttons for rotating the photo or zooming in on a specific area to print.
Kodak's bundled EasyShare software helps you organise and edit your photos. The printer even auto-senses the paper type and adjusts its quality accordingly, although it malfunctioned on our test Kodak EasyShare 5500 All-In-One -- rejecting Kodak's own papers. Kodak subsequently issued a firmware upgrade to resolve this issue.
The Kodak EasyShare 5500 All-In-One offers a decent set of small-office features, notably a 35-sheet ADF and an automatic duplexer. Networking is its big deficit -- it has only USB (Bluetooth is a pay-for option). The 100-sheet input tray is smaller than we'd like, but not unusual for the category.
Copy functions (from the Kodak EasyShare 5500 All-In-One's control panel only) cover a good range of choices, and copy quality itself is good. Scan quality is acceptable, and the scanning from either the control panel or software is easy. Kodak's AiO Home Center offers a centralised interface for scanning and photo functions, as well as settings and other information.
The Kodak EasyShare 5500 All-In-One's control panel is logically laid out with clearly labelled buttons, including ones to initiate each major function. There's no button for going back or undoing something, however, and it can be hard to tell whether you're supposed to press the OK or Start button, especially in Photo mode.
As with all inkjet multifunction printers we've tested, the Kodak EasyShare 5500 All-In-One is a lot slower in default mode than its top-speed, draft-mode specs would suggest.
The Kodak EasyShare 5500 All-In-One managed a lacklustre 6.2 pages per minute (ppm) printing plain-black text, and a poky 2ppm printing graphics. Text on plain paper looked good: charcoal rather than black, but fairly precise otherwise. Graphics printed on plain paper seemed a tad faded, while on photo paper everything was a little dark. On both papers, images still looked natural.
The Kodak EasyShare 5500 All-In-One is noteworthy for its low-priced ink replacements. There's a separate black for text, plus a colour cartridge with five tanks for cyan, magenta, yellow, photo black, and a clear protective coating.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
