UK police: 3 women were slaves 'in simple terms'
LONDON (AP) — Three women who were freed from a London home were victims of "slavery in simple terms," and were not trafficked or physically constrained, a senior police officer said today. Police now are trying to figure out "what were the invisible handcuffs that were used" to exert such control, said Commander Steve Rodhouse.

I've just ported Didactic theme to my blog. Your comments and suggestions are much appreciated :)
Wow, looks good. Will you be releasing the theme to public?
I will make it public after some tricks :)
Isn't Didactic already available to wordpress? I have something very similar, and called the same name already installed on my sandbox...
Sorry my bad, I dont even know it was actually ported by GFXedit :P

Viduka has been a consisten performer over the last five years. Hasslebaink and Yakuba scored more than the devout Shearer. Quedrue is one of the best left backs in the country. Boateng is fantastic. Schwarzer is always one of the best 3 keepers in the prem. Reizeger was voted Spains best defender when he joined us - he is quality. Ehiogu and Southgate have been solid at the back for years - we had one of the meanest defences in the prem last year. We have a crop of youngster comming through that look very good indeed. Parlour has been fantastic for us. As for the Butt comment - if you're going to quote me please don't misquote me - it just shows you aren't paying attention. Butt, I said, would be good cover for Boateng. Still say that. I'm sure that when Shearer looks back in the years to come and sees what Newcastle did for him he will think "bollocks, why didn't I go to the real United?"Getting us in the Coca Cola - we aren't in the draw you silly twat. Of course Owen wouldn't come to us. I'm under no illusion that he would. Unlike you silly fuckers!Wasn't Robson a decent manager. He was the best thing to happen to Newcastle in years and look what Freddy did to him. Nice one.Don't hold back the laughter Jabberwabber, it may be the only footie related joy you have for a long time. We can take a peanut brain having a laugh at our expense - especially when all the stats show we were one of the better teams in the prem last season. Go on laugh, it really is good therapy for a sad geordie bastard and a shi.........nah, thats too easy.

Benchmarks? Top-Performing Email Marketers Are Way Ahead of the Pack
Marketers often pay attention to benchmarks, which are useful to get a sense of what one might expect from a campaign (though individual results almost always vary from the average!). But as a recent study [download page] from IBM Marketing Cloud demonstrates, it might be worth shooting for the top, rather than the average.Read more »

Disney's "Cinderella" has come to The Roxy Theater in Newton. The musical is based on the animated cartoon.
Thirty-one children from various schools in the area are in the play. The Roxy Theater has one youth production every year.
The director says the production has been a lot of work, but it has a lot of fun as well.
"We're doing two days of school performances," said youth director, Julie Rowzee. "There are three performances each day. And it gives kids an opportunity that normally wouldn't get to come to anything like this."
Public performances will also be held next week.

"Hi! Come on in! We're showing a film!" encouraged City Councilmember Diana Reyna, as an audience of 30 wandered into the handball courts at Sternberg Park (Lorimer and Boerum streets) Wednesday night to see the debut of what could become a summer tradition of outdoor screenings in Williamsburg.
After two months of planning, Moviehouse, a Brooklyn-based film collective, unveiled its inaugural CinemaParque free film series, featuring short works by local Latino filmmakers in both English and Spanish.
The organization has been developing a lively reputation for showing provocative short films and promoting local artists during its one-year residency at 3rd Ward Brooklyn (195 Morgan Avenue), but Moviehouse Director Chris Henderson wanted to bring the experience to new audiences in a public space.
"We've been doing shows for three years and it feels really to be out in Sternberg showing on these handball courts, surrounded by Mitchell Lama Housing.It's great to see kids from the neighborhood showing movies in the neighborhood they live," said Henderson.
How Moviehouse came to project video on a handball court in the first place is the result of a fortuitous conversation between Henderson and Open Space Alliance's Stephanie Thayer, who wanted more programming in parks but was wary of the costs.Henderson proposed setting up a film series that would cost only a couple hundred dollars.All he needed was a big flat surface and a handball court was perfect.Both agreed that Sternberg would be a better venue than McCarren Park because of the glut of programming already occurring on Williamsburg's northside, including the L Magazine Summer Screen series.
"I respect what they're doing, showing big Hollywood summer movies," said Henderson."We're doing smaller independent local stuff in Spanish with English subtitles."
Wednesday's opening featured short films from six young Brooklyn filmmakers, Desiree Camacho, Mike Vasquez, Josh Carrero, Jeremy Lopez, Bryan Lopez, and Patricia Torres, who worked with the New Children/New York program over the past year to tell stories based on their families and personal experiences.
The results were riveting, sensitive portraits of growing up in Brooklyn, grappling with issues of underemployment, labor rights, immigration, and sexuality.
Ericka Vasquez, who appeared in her younger brother Mike's film, "Wrong Way," said that working with him helped improve their relationship.
"It's really helped us out," said Ericka, who is also a filmmaker."I have my own film world and so does he, and we tend not to talk about our lives together, but this opportunity helped defy that."
Queens residents Josh Itzkowitz and Hadas Fruchter heard about the event through the Moviehouse listserv and came away impressed with the venue and the art.
"I loved how it was a relaxed setting and an exhibition of young people's work.I wish more people showed up but once it gets going, more will come," said Fruchter.
On July 15, Moviehouse: CinemaParque will feature short films from Spain, borrowed from the Festival Internacional de Cortos FIB, which Henderson promises will be very different but also very good.
Moviehouse: CinemaParque will take place on Wednesdays at sundown this summer, including July 15, July 29, August 12, August 26, and September 9 on the Sternberg Park Handball Courts at Lorimer and Boerum streets.All events are free.For more information, visit http://mov

Which made me worry that I would never get a female fennekin or a shiny. I also read that your chances go up to 50% if you trade your ditto with someone ditto, I'm not sure if this is true or not but I would really like someone to help me on this. breeding eggs ditto egg-hatching xy asked Jan 8, 2014 by Pixel Cupcake Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 3 Answers 1 vote The thing with the 19% chance is true (the specific number is actually 19.8%). However, what that is is actually the chance of your Pokemon having an Egg every 255 steps, not the chance of your Pokemon creating an Egg at all. You don't need to worry, Delphox and Ditto will breed if you walk around a lot. That's how breeding works. Depending on the Pokemon in the Day Care, there will be a chance that an Egg will be produced every 255 steps. The chance varies according to the species and what OT the Pokemon has. Specific chances are listed here on Bulbapedia. This is also where the Ditto thing comes in. If you breed a Pokemon with a different Pokemon that is compatible with it, and the other Pokemon has a different OT, the chances of getting an Egg each 255 steps goes to 49.5% (as stated on the link I gave). This works for all Pokemon, not just Ditto. So you don't need to worry; if your Pokemon are compatible they will eventually breed together. answered Jan 8, 2014 by ƒιzz Wow Fizz, Much better answer than mine, so ya get my vote. commented Jan 8, 2014 by Zekrom88 Thanks. Glad to see that people are still appreciate of the effort put into people's answers :) commented Jan 8, 2014 by ƒιzz Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes No worries Man. A Ditto put with another Pokemon( not ditto ) as far as I know, will always result in an egg(fennekin) even if the daycare man tells you what he told ya. answered Jan 8, 2014 by Zekrom88 Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Your Pokemon will still eventually breed, though breeding two Pokemon with Different OT numbers does increase the chance of getting an egg. This chance is increased even more if they are same species. So you could try breed two Delphox from two different games, that's the most effective method of trying to get an egg in the daycare. Of course, you can still breed with Ditto as I'd imagine it'd be hard to get another Delphox, but at least try get a Ditto (or any Pokemon in the Field Egg group for that matter, assuring it's a female) that has a different OT number to your Delphox. The above seems like the most effective way of getting an egg. Getting a female Fennekin is a one in eight chance, so it shouldn't be too hard unless you're really impatient like I am (xD), however getting a shiny is much more harder. I'd recommend using the Masuda Method, which breeds two Pokemon that are compatible, but also are from different regions. (Like a Japanese Ditto and your supposed English Delphox) This increases the chances significantly, and it's a very effective way of getting a shiny Fennekin through breeding. Hope I helped. :) Sources: Experience and Source answered Jan 8, 2014 by !'•-Indigo-•'! Please log in or register to add a comment.

Transmission-line transformers are passive devices which can offer considerably higher gain-bandwidth products than their lumped circuit counterparts. Transmission-line transformers have been built and operated at liquid He temperatures using twisted-pair line wound on torroidal cores. We propose, however, constructing such a wideband transformer in a planar (deposited or etched) geometry. The way in which this transformer operates, and some design considerations, are presented. One of the many circuit forms that this type of transformer may assume was selected and macroscopic models of it were built and tested at room temperature. Based on their performance, successful operation of the postulated transmission-line transformer is predicted. Specifically, impedance transformation ratios up to 256 to 1, rise times better than 1 ns, and bandwidth ratios in excess of 104can be expected.

Jack Smith 2004
After listening to Sheryl Crow's latest album, video directors will know exactly what to dig out of the props cupboard. The leathers and tough attitude are out the window; instead she'll be looking gorgeous in a floaty dress, just like the one she's wearing on the album cover.
More easy listening than rock, Wildflower sees a more settled Crow exploring love and the power of relationships. It's a pleasant enough album, but few tracks stand out. There's no "Run Baby Run" or "If It Makes You Happy", the closest we come to the old-school Crow is "Live It Up", which gives the album a much needed change of pace. Overall, it's more dinner party than dance floor. Excellent if you're entertaining and don't want the music to overpower the conversations. Not so great if you're looking to get the party started.

About 120,000 visitors a month go online to check photos that show Carma and Jim as they go about their daily lives on a sixth-floor balcony of an office building.
Carma and Jim are Canada geese and they've been nesting for a decade outside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows just past the receptionist's desk of a local high-tech company, James Martin and Co.
GooseCam '98, a tiny camera attached to the side of the building, takes pictures of the geese which are flashed on the World Wide Web every 40 seconds.
So far, the pair, named for the company's chief executive and his ex-wife, seem happy to hatch their goslings -- seven of them this year -- under the eyes of 160 computer consultants and various visitors.
"People are always up here, smooshing their noses against the glass," said Ellen Buchanan, the company's director of marketing. "The closer we get to the time they hatch, the more they are here."
There have been, of course, the inevitable goose jokes. Some employees posted goose and omelet recipes on the company's internal network. And some executives who are avid golfers have wrinkled their noses at geese, which often cause havoc on the greens.
Nan Marie Sauer, the company's director of productivity, said that most employees of the buttoned-down company find there's something soothing about visiting the geese, and that they've been good for company morale and sanity.
"You sometimes forget that you're in the real world when you are staring at your computer," she said. "Watching out there and seeing the goose reminds you that nature is right here."
Geese are monogamous, and it makes sense that Jim and Carma are the same birds that began nesting on the balcony 10 years ago, said Kevin Winker, a former Smithsonian Institution ornithologist now at the University of Alaska.
"They do form lifelong pair-bonds," Winker said. He added that waterfowl such as Canada geese often nest at high levels.
The chicks, who can't yet fly, just jump off and float to safety. "They are pretty light and fluffy, so they don't sustain a lot of damage," Winker said.

With the release of his third solo album Selling My Soul, Masta Killa has become one of the most consistent solo artists in the Wu Tang Clan family. But back in the early 90s, Killa was just another hungry young emcee looking for an opportunity. In a new video interview, MK recalls those early years of the Wu, including the story behind his entry into the group on the classic track "Da Mystery Of Chessboxin". Killa also explains why he's the only Wu member not featured on the group's breakout single "Protect Ya Neck", plus GZA's reaction to MK's first written rhymes. Selling My Soul is Masta Killa's first new studio album in over six years, and features production from the likes of 9th Wonder, Mathematics, Inspectah Deck, PF Cuttin, and more. It's now available in physical and digital stores everywhere.

Effective Nuclear Charge:
Coulomb's law of attraction states that the interaction of two electrical charges depends on the magnitude of the charges and the distance between. Therefore the attraction between an electron and the nucleus depends on the magnitude of the overall nuclear charge acting on the electron and the distance between the nucleus and the electron. In many electron atoms, the electrons are attracted to the nucleus and then repelled by the other electrons at the same time. Despite the difficulty in analyzing the situation due to the electron-electron repulsions, the energy of the electron can be calculated by observing how the electron interacts with the nucleus and other electrons. This creates the ability to for us to treat each electron as if it were moving in an electric field (the nucleus and the surrounding electrons). The electric field of electrons is the same as the charge of the electric field of the nucleus, which is called the effective nuclear charge. The effective nuclear charge, Zeff, is the net positive charge experienced by an electron in many-electron atoms; this is not a full nuclear charge because the nucleus is protected by some shielding from the other electrons.
- Zeff = Z – S
- Zeff = Effective nuclear charge.
- Z = the number of protons in the nucleus.
- S = the average number of electrons between the nucleus and the electron being analyzed (total number of core electrons).
Other Important Info:
The effective nuclear charge on an atom determines many of its properties, such as the screening, or shielding of an atom's valence electrons. As a result, the effective nuclear charge experienced by the outer electrons is determined primarily by the difference between the charge on the nucleus and the charge of the core electrons.
It is also important to note that the effective nuclear charge of an atom increases across the periods of the periodic table, and increases going down a family. However, the effective nuclear charge changes far less down a family then it does across a period. It increases downward along the periodic table for the following reasons:
• Increase in the number of protons = Increase in the force of electrostatic attraction.
• Increase in the distance between the nucleus and electrons = Decrease in the force of electrostatic attraction.
• Increase in the number of electrons
This event is named as "effective" because of the shielding effect core negative electrons have on higher valence electrons which prevents the higher electrons from experiencing the full effect of the nuclear charge.

April's usual babysitter, Jean, has had a panic attack that has landed her in the hospital. April doesn t really know anyone else, so she decides it's best to have her three-year-old daughter close by, watching children's videos in the office while she works. April works at the Puma Club for Men. And tonight she has an unusual client, a foreigner both remote and too personal, and free with his money. Lots of it, all cash. His name is Bassam. Meanwhile, another man, AJ, has been thrown out of the club for holding hands with his favorite stripper, and he's drunk and angry and lonely. From these explosive elements comes a relentless, raw, searing, passionate, page-turning narrative, a big-hearted and painful novel about sex and parenthood and honor and masculinity. Set in the seamy underside of American life at the moment before the world changed, it juxtaposes lust for domination with hunger for connection, sexual violence with family love. It seizes the listener by the throat with the same psychological tension, depth, and realism that characterized Andre Dubus's bestselling House of Sand and Fog and an even greater sense of the dark and anguished places in the human heart.

The Leninist organizational system in which policy is decided centrally and is binding on all members.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- It was in this section of the book that Rodney developed the critique of vanguardism and the party form that celebrated the virtues of democratic centralism where there was a lot of centralisation but no democracy.
- Inside the party, democratic centralism degenerated into bureaucratic centralization, so that by the 1930s there was a wide gap between party officials and party members.
- In theory democratic centralism makes the executive accountable to the Party, but only in theory.

MILLS RIVER - Thirty-four boxes sat stuffed to the gills, ready to be shipped and boost the morale of men and women serving in the military in Iraq.
The boxes were filled by the senior men and women who attend programs at the Mills River Life Enrichment Center in the fellowship hall of the Mills River United Methodist Church. Everything from soap and hand sanitizer to candy, stuffed bears and sports equipment was packed to send to the servicemen and women.
The second Operation Hope allowed the members of the center help the men and women serving overseas.
"Through local businesses and members of this church, they've all donated items," said Ruth Williams, coordinator for the center.
Three units, represented with two service personnel who are members and one who is a friend, will receive the collected items in boxes. When they last packed boxes, the group sent overseas 13 boxes for the troops. They've doubled their deployment.
"We were trying to find an outreach program for the seniors," said Williams. "They are very eager."
"I have a son in Iraq right now," said Craig Kirkpatrick. "First cavalry out of Fort Hood, Texas. This is great. This is what the Mills River Life Enrichment Center is all about."
Some of the members brought in the travel-sizes soap and shampoos to send over. A group of women organized the items into bags, so each box got a equal amount and it was concealed from spilling into other stuff. Dr. Joe Farrar, an orthodontist in Hendersonville, donated travel-sized toothpaste and the Wal-mart on Airport Road donated a lot of the sports equipment.
"The war has gone on for some time," said Kirkpatrick. "With groups like these not forgetting the soldiers, in the hustle and bustle of life, that really means something."
"We have to do as much as possible," said Kenn Seal, a volunteer. "It's the lease we can do for our servicemen."
The program also includes prayer quilts for the servicemen and women. The quilt is a little square piece of fabric about 2-inches across that contains a cross and a small prayer. The men and women serving in the military can put the cross in their pockets.
"They really like the idea," said Seal of the crosses. "We heard from some of our servicemen and women. They were so proud to get it."
Postage for the shipment was paid for by donations of the United Methodist's men's group and donations from some patrons.
Sixteen different churches participate in the center. It's something for the whole community, explained Kirkpatrick.
Kirkpatrick's son, Scott, is the operations officer for the second battalion, fifth brigade of the first cavalry. They're stationed in a suburb of Baghdad, Iraq.
"The temperature is about 110 ... 112," laughed Craig.
Toni Bellm, a member of the center, said she felt "very good, very good" for participating in Operation Hope.
"It's from a home community," said Craig.
"We're doing it one more time this year in November," said Williams. They have yet to plan a gathering for 2010. "It's nice to think all the troops will be home in 2010."

SBIR Phase II: Xylose Isomerase from Marine Bacteria for Cellulosic Ethanol

Research Institution:
AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will develop the xylose isomerase (XI) enzyme from a marine bacterium as part of a process to convert biomass to ethanol. Xylose isomerase converts xylose, the second most common sugar in biomass, into xylulose. Xylose is not fermented to ethanol by brewing yeast, but xylulose is. Previous XI enzymes are unable to work in conjunction with fermentation due to incompatibilities in pH and inhibiting compounds. The successful Phase 1 proposal identified this marine XI as capable of performing Simultaneous Isomerization and Fermentation (SIF) of xylose to ethanol. High efficiency conversion of xylose to ethanol can improve overall process yield by 20-40%. The Phase II project will optimize the production of the enzyme in native and high-productivity heterologous hosts leading to a low cost source of the new enzyme. The optimized enzyme will be further characterized and then produced in a 200 liter bioreactor to demonstrate scalability leading to commercialization. The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is to enable the cost-effective commercial production of cellulosic ethanol. Ethanol from local cellulosic biomass is a sustainable transportation fuel that reduces greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 87% according to the Argonne National Lab?s GREET model. The toxicity of tailpipe emissions are also reduced relative to petroleum-based fuels. As a domestic source of fuel, cellulosic ethanol adds to U.S. energy security and strengthens our economy. By creating jobs and recycling dollars into the U.S. economy, cellulosic ethanol improves the trade deficit and lessens the dependence on foreign petroleum. By developing a low-cost enzyme that is added directly to the fermentation, difficulties with genetically modified fermentation organisms are avoided. This not only simplifies the ethanol production process, but also reduces the GMO content of co-products that may enter the food chain.

- Very HappyReview by Elizabeth
Quality Price Fit Appearance
I purchased these for my rehearsal dinner and I am very happy. The fabric is thick and durable, making the tablecloths look very expensive but Linen Tablecloth was much cheaper to buy than rent!(Posted on 10/4/15)

Released: Nov 01st, 2004
Running Time: 135
Director: Stoney Curtis
Company: Lethal Hardcore
Cast: Sativa Rose, Dirty Harry, Daphne Rosen, Kami Andrews, Tony Michaels (I), Talon (I), Lani Lei, Katin, Others
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
Sativa and Lani are a dangerous duo.
Sativa Rose and Lani Lei look like they were meant to be next to each other, naked and fucking. Director Stoney Curtis wisely pairs them together for an entertaining fourway bang with Brett Rockman and Dirty Harry. Curtis goes for symmetry in this scene, showing off various side-by-side fuck positions such as dueling reverse cowgirls and doggie action. Pre-nom it for Best Group Sex Scene.
Did we mention that all the girls happily sip cum from a martini glass, olive attached, when each scene is over?
In other action, Daphne Rosen doubles up on Tony Michaels and another guy with sizzling results, especially because she doesn't pick up the check without an anal pass. This will cater to the raincoaters and fans of young, ripe new talent.

Update of /cvsroot/sbcl/sbcl In directory sc8-pr-cvs1.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv18718 Modified Files: NEWS version.lisp-expr Log Message: 0.9.12.6: Speed up CLOS compilation. (For example, 45% speedup for compiling asdf.lisp, 30% for compiling McCLIM on x86-64). The code generated by PCL in MAKE-METHOD-LAMBDA has lots of macrolets, which for the most part are never expanded. Modify it to only create the macrolets that are really used in the body, so that the useless local macro-functions don't need to be compiled. You might wonder why this is done in PCL, rather than as a general purpose compiler change by lazily compiling the definitions when they're first expanded. I tried that first, and while it worked, the end result was rather messy. Since users can access the macro-functions through the environment, we need to minimally compile them to be ansixly correct, and we don't really have much useful minimal compilation infrastructure for at the moment. Ensuring that the source of the macro-functions is stored properly, e.g. for (MACROLET ((FOO ...)) (DECLAIM (INLINE BAR)) (DEFUN BAR () (FOO))) is also somewhat tricky.
