There are a number of sbiwetes that can give you the rudiments of putting together a press release. Google: How to write a press release. The release should be written short, to the point and give a sufficient amount of details about the exhibition, including the purpose of the exhibition, people who were involved in it, a quote or two from one of them explaining its purpose, admission fee (if any). The release should be sent to the city editor and/or features editor of your local newspapers and the assignment desks of your local television and radio stations.References : I teach PR on the college level.

Nice! I have been looking for exactly this , thanks for posting, HCG.
Dk. Oprah have tried every diet the best money can buy, look at her now.People spend $20 billion per year on viaintms and supplements.a0 According to Everyday Health, here's an article that will tell you why . . . those PRODUCTS by any other name do NOT WORK.a0 It is false advertisements.The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn't have to approve supplements — no agency in the United States does. So it's up to consumers to bring health concerns to light. "It's important to understand the difference between over-the-counter medications and dietary supplements," say Pieter Cohen, MD, an internist at Cambridge Health Alliance and instructor at Harvard Medical School in Cambridge, Mass. The FDA gets involved only after the fact, if the supplement later appears to be causing harm. By that time, the supplement may already have harmed many consumers who used it. "The burden of proof is on the FDA to determine [a supplement] is dangerous and remove it from the market," Cohen says. Consumer complaints are the primary trigger for investigations. One recent investigation of the dietary weight-loss supplement ephedra resulted in it being banned for sale in the United States.

I used to be more than happy to search out this net-site.I wtnead to thanks on your time for this wonderful learn!! I definitely enjoying each little bit of it and I've you bookmarked to check out new stuff you blog post.
Helpful information. Fortunate me I discovered your website unintentionally, and I am stunned why this twist of fate didn't happened earlier! I bookmarked it.
I tried Green Web HCG about 6 months ago and did not have a good exnpireece at all. After sharing my exnpireeces on a weight loss forum someone recommended Pharmaslim HCG and directed me to their blog where they recorded all of they're meals and weigh-ins day by day while using Pharmaslim. I was impressed so i ordered a bottle in April and dropped 25 lbs in the first 42 day cycle. It's one of the only hCG weight loss formulas available that offers a money back guarantee. Highly recommended, just be sure to prepare yourself for the diet, believe me it can be very hard to limit yourself to 500 calories per day.
hcg, Terrific! I've been searching for this information . The hcg diet along with human chorionic gonadotropin has so many conflicting opinions, I am seeking competent info regarding the hcg diet. Thanks for posting, hcg.

I did the drops from prohcgdiet.com and lost 16 ponuds on the diet in 24 days. Its now been 3 months since I did this diet and and I have not gained a pound since I went off of it. I have tried so many diets and this is a diet that I can really say was fun. Its so great to wake up every morning and see how much weight you have lost. My and my mom and sister all took the drops from Pro Hcg Diet which had good instructions and a great menu book too. Some girls from the office did the injections and lost about the same as I did so unless your into pain, get drops!Good Luck!
hi!,I like your writing so a lot! percentage we keep in touch extra about your post on AOL? I require an expert in this area to unravel my problem. Maybe that is you! Having a look ahead to peer you.
A mini steak days helps if your ketones are low. When your body is using prrmaiily fat as energy, your ketoned excreted in your urine will be high. Doing a steak day, you aren't eating any carbs so it forces your body to burn fat. Ketones will generally be back high again the next morning if so your steak day was successful but there is not neccessarily going to be an immediate change in the scale, fat burning can take 2-3 days to show on the scale simeons says.
The reason that Dr. Simeon's says not to inejct during your period is because your body actually produces HCG during the menstrual cycle. I may be wrong, anyone feel free to correct me. So inejcting on those days would be a waste of your HCG. Also, the more HCG in your system, the faster you become immune. If I were you I would go ahead and start loading now to get your normal fat reserves up and then start inejcting and loading for two more days after the period. I know I loading for a week this round, only because I have been on so many diets before and I wanted to make sure my normal fat reserves were full. I am on my 9th day now, and have not had even the slightest bit of hunger the whole week.See the first week is sometimes hard since you may get hunger pangs, that is why we load, so that our body can run off our normal fat for the first few days and keep us content until the hcg gets into our system and mobilizes the abnormal fat.Try to eat very high fat food, on my loading I had fried chicken, buttered biscuits, chocolate, donuts, peanut butter cups, chips, etc. LOL I feel so strange telling you to eat all that but enjoy it!Also, whenever I am in the kitchen I wear gloves, only because I live with 8 other people and there is no telling what has oil on it. That's right, even a drop of oil touching your skin will keep you from losing the next day. Be careful! Check all spices and foods for any sugar, oil, sugar alcohol, or aspartame(BAD).As far as shampoo and conditioner, I am using the same I normally do. I have just reduced washing my hair to once or twice a week. I have curly hair so this is actually keeping my waves a bit more hydrated. The easiest thing is to just use your normal shampoo and conditioner and just wash your hair less. But expect to not lose on the day you shampoo and condition. Normal showers are fine though, with -bar soap with no oil in ingredients-, just rinse your hair with water or use a shower cap.Btw, you WILL gain a lot of weight on your load days but don't worry, you will lose every ounce of it within the first few days! I have started the Dr. Simeon's Protocol (original and only true HCG diet) about 5 times but different circumstances forced me to stop. I am finally able to do a full round, hopefully with no interuptions.It has been 9 days:I started at 178 (after loading)I am now at 165Round 1 Goal .148 or less ^_^A note, DO NOT freeze your HCG, no matter what anyone tells you. Just refrigerate. I lost a $70 bottle of HCG because I listened to someone else and froze it. HCG is very fragile and freezing ruins it.Also, we can have vinegar and cucumbers on the diet, so some people say that means we can also have pickles. I have them sometimes. It's up to you, I have been losing fine. Just another thing you may consider if you get bored with your food.Another note , there is a diet soda called Zevia, that is sweetened with Stevia (a sweet plant). Zevia has no calories, no sugar, its all natural. I found a few cans at my local Whole Foods store for 99cents a can. I've had two cans in a week and a half, it tastes better than regular diet soda. Its nice to keep around for when you get a craving for soda. But don't overdo it.Email me if you have any other questions, I have a lot of tips for ya! BIGGEST THING TO REMEMBER! WATER < TEA < COFFEE GET YOUR LIQUIDS IN and DONT EAT PAST 7PM (so your body has plenty of time to digest and flush out all the food and your weight in the morning will be correct)

I've learn a few excellent stuff here. Certainly value bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how so much effort you place to create any such magnificent informative web site.
That is a nicely written and published product. I loved looking through it rather a lot. There are many companies from the internet in these modern times, associated with a whole lot additional info, it should be challenging to detect precisely what is precise, combined with what human beings quite frankly conjure. The actual same is true of diet plan programs or any type of style of diet. I have studied an awful lot throughout the healthy hcg diet, and moreover am unsure what you should figure apart from every item. It appears that hcg needles may just be approach to take, they also seem to be more costly, which means you require a medical professionsal. I find myself asking about hcg drops, and if they can truly work. You can get actual hcg drops, in addition to the holistic easy hcg drops that you can buy everyplace. People can even acquire hcg drops throughout Walmart at this point. The food diet which usually fits hcg, may sound like this is a misery diet when they admit you take in fewer than 700 caloric intake on a daily basis. I would personally believe that customers should probably lose the fat through any weight loss because of this. In addition , they acknowledge hcg lets you have the capacity to stay with the diet program, and as well may cause your body as a way to drop way more flab.
That is a nicely displayed content. I personally savored scanning it a great deal. There are countless membership sites over the internet lately, and as well , lots of content, it can be complicated to indicate what certainly is substantial, in addition what some individuals slightly conjure. The same applies to weight loss plans or some kind of variety of fat loss. We have read in detail alot relating to healthy hcg diet, and thus am not sure what to evaluate as a result of everything. Apparently hcg needles are classified as the best route, however they appear to be sometimes costly, and as well you happen to require a medical professional. I tend to be itching to know about using the hcg drops, assuming they begin to really work. I have discovered realistic painless hcg drops, and in addition natural hcg drops in the market all-around. Most people may also get hold of easy hcg drops found on Walmart nowadays. This diet which usually features hcg, seems like it's really a starving diet simply because they say that you consume down below 800 caloric intake daily. I may feel that the public normally would drop pounds around any food regimen doing this. Furthermore they say that hcg allows you to be able to stay with the food diet, and consequently will cause the actual body so you may eliminate alot more body weight. Thanks, hcg.
Helpful information. Lucky me I discovered your website by accident, and I'm stunned why this twist of fate didn't took place in advance! I bookmarked it.

The mayors of the three corporations along with leaders of each House met the lieutenant governor (LG) on Thursday to protest a statement made by municipal commissioners calling for a rise in property tax and parking charges.
Savita Gupta of the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC), Annapurna Mishra of the East Delhi Municipal Corporation and Mira Aggarwal of the North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) told the LG, Tejender Khanna, that the commissioners should be restrained from making statements before discussing with the mayors.
"The BJP won't introduce any additional or new tax. The executive wing should stay away from making such statements without discussing it with the mayors," Yogender Chandolia, chairman-designate, NDMC standing committee, said.
On Wednesday, the commissioners had said the parking charge and property tax should be raised to increase the revenue of the corporations.
The mayors requested the LG to convene a meeting every month to chalk out the issues tangled in multiplicity of authorities and adamancy of the Delhi government. "The LG assured us that the meeting to work out the tangled issues would start soon," said Subhash Arya, leader of the House, SDMC, said.

Correctly integrating third-party services is challenging, and mistakes are dangerous when third-party services are used for security-critical tasks such as authentication and authorization. Previous works have shown that developers frequently misunderstand integration requirements and make critical mistakes in their implementations. Since traditional programming techniques are hard to apply to programs running inside black-box web servers, we propose to detect vulnerabilities based on probing behaviors of the system. In this work we describe the design and implementation of SSOScan, an automatic vulnerability checker for applications using Single Sign-On (SSO) systems.
We study the top-ranked 20,000 sites for five different vulnerabilities in their implementation of Facebook SSO. Of the 1660 sites in our study that provide Facebook SSO functionality, 20.8% (345) of them have at least one critical vulnerability detected by our analysis.
SSOScan is able to scan 80% of the top 10,000 websites using Facebook SSO fully automatically; to understand its failures, we manually analyzed all of the sites that could not be automatically tested. We explain the reasons why SSOScan fail in certain scenarios, and analyze click data on the top 10,000 websites to improve the search heuristics.
We implemented a web service that enables developers to submit URLs to websites that integrate Facebook Single Sign-On to check for potential vulnerabilities. Check out this service here! (Due to computation limitations on the hosting server, SSOScan is hosted on another dedicated machine and domain.)
SSOScan is open source and the package can be downloaded here. Please follow instructions on the GitHub README page for more details.
Our paper is published at the 23rd USENIX Security Symposium (2014) and a full PDF version can be found here, and the technical report with more implementation details in the appendix can be found here.

There are also many different types of taxes and tax laws–for example, income taxes, corporate and business taxes, death taxes, property taxes, estate and gift taxes, sales taxes, and international taxes. Sometimes taxes are based on an inflated or incorrect value the government has placed on an entity or activity.

Moving Knowledge
The struggle to work with movement in knowledge is as old as the idea of knowledge itself: ancient Greek thinkers posed the knowledge of geometrical forms -- the sphere, the cube, the pyramid -- as the route to grasping the essence of the world. On the other side of the planet, ancient Chinese thinkers were working with the knowledge of the propensity of movement in a substance -- the notion of li -- as the basis of knowledge. What would modern knowledge have become if movement had been central in the debates of the ancient Mediterranean? The question comes to the fore in the Anthropocene, a time in which we begin to recognise changes in molecular flows -- of carbons, of nitrogens -- are altering the planet, yet our legal systems are ill-equipped to address a global commons that does not cooperate with territorial boundaries or with territorial law, or with the timeframes of electoral cycles. Contemporary social sciences, I suggest, demand from us an intellectual mobility across different authorisations of reason that would persuade us that they are the only way to know. Exploring fluidity and sedimentation; territory and flow; life time and geo-time, this paper explores a social science of movement that is itself mobile across disciplines, and across intellectual histories.
2) Marc Abélès, École des haute études en sciences sociales (ÉHÉSS, Paris)
For a heraclitean anthropology
How should one think of societies and the world in movement? Undoubtedly, this is one of the essential challenges faced by anthropology in a universe profoundly transformed by the intensification of flows. Since a quarter of a century, there has been a multiplication of the descriptions and analyses of these mutations. Yet, one cannot stick to a prudent and routine empiricism. This would be as if the position of the observer had not changed since the heroic epoch of the founding fathers of anthropology. The simple fact of thinking the contemporary in terms of circulation, of frictions, and of tensions on the planet leads us to rethink our epistemological basics. In this orientation situated at the junction between anthropology and philosophy, we need to adopt a heraclitean point of view for questioning the issues of the present time.

Chapter 5: Creating A New Government
The Big Picture: The Articles of Confederation, under which the thirteen colonies had united to win independence, proved insufficient to govern the new nation. Delegates from 12 states met at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia and fashioned a newer, stronger form of government, which has endured for more than 200 years.
Chapter 5 Section 1: The Articles of Confederation
Main Idea: In order to carry on the war and build a new nation, Americans had to create a framework of government, but their first attempt had many weaknesses.

During the war, all 13 colonies wrote state constitutions that included rights like representative government, rule of law, limits on gov't power, and individual liberties All of the constitutions also set up three branches: legislative: wrote laws; executive: (governor) carried out laws; judicial: interpreted laws The elected legislature held the most power They all also agreed on republicanism: rule with consent of the governed (i.e. elected officials) Republican Motherhood Women had played a significant role in the war, running farms and businesses, collecting supplies, and being politically active in boycotts and protests Women were viewed as the first teachers for their children in ideas of civic virtue and responsibility Republican motherhood encouraged women to raise their children to be patriotic; to that end, they were encouraged to learn to read and write (only for upper class)
A New National Government
The Articles of Confederation The states realized they needed a central government to conduct the war and make alliances with foreign nations 1776: John Dickinson heads a committee to create a new national government Articles of Confederation was adopted November 1777 but was not official until March 1781 when the last of the 13 states ratified it Powers of the New Government States retained most of the power The central government had only one branch, the Continental Congress where every state had one vote regardless of population It did have the power to negotiate with foreign nation and Native American tribes It had the power to borrow and coin money; it could also establish an army and declare war
The Confederation Faces Problems
Financial Problems Hard to pass laws because 9 of 13 states had to agree (took a unanimous vote to amend the Articles) They did not have the power to collect taxes to repay war debt Congress asked states for money but didn't receive nearly enough to pay debt and run the government Problems with the States States often acted against each other, refusing to honor contracts and printing their own money With no national court system, there was no way to mediate conflicts between states or enforcing laws if criminals crossed state lines Problems with Foreign Nations Because it was weak, Congress could not address British occupation of forts it had agreed to abandon They also couldn't negotiate with Spain to use the Mississippi River vital for trade Economic Problems Trade in New England collapsed after the war (Britain was its primary trading partner) because they had to pay high fees to continue trading The Southern indigo and naval stores industries were also hurt All paper money issued during the war was practically worthless and states often demanded taxes be paid in gold, which many did not had, leading to high numbers in debtors prison
The Northwest Territory
There were two major successes of the Articles of Confederation The new nation had a large tract of western land that was not controlled by any state Land Ordinance of 1785: set up a plan to survey, divide, and sell land in the Northwest Territory Northwest Ordinance of 1787: created a system for the formation of new states; granted settlers religious freedom and civil rights and banned slavery in the territory 5,000 men territory; 60,000 men write a constitution and apply to be a state
Chapter 5 Section 2: Drafting the Constitution
Main Idea: The Constitutional Convention tried to write a document that would address the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and make compromises between large and small states and between the North and South.
The Constitutional Convention
Shays' Rebellion High taxes in MA that had to be paid in gold led many farmers in western MA to loose their farms or be thrown in debtors prison Sept 1786: Daniel Shays leads farmers east to shut down the courts that were putting people in prison While it was put down, it alarmed many across the nation because the federal government was powerless They agreed to meet in Philadelphia, May to amend the Articles of Confederation A historic meeting Delegates from every state but RI attended; each state had one vote and they agreed to keep their meetings secret All decisions would be made by simple majority Controversial Plans All delegates were well-educated, wealthy, white men Washington was chosen to lead They quickly decided to form a new government rather and amend the old one Two plans were introduced: Virginia Plan: introduced by Edmund Randolph Gov't would have 3 branches with a bicameral legislature; both houses would base representation population; lower house would vote on upper house New Jersey Plan: addressed concerns of small states Proposed a unicameral legislature with equal representation Also wanted a 'plural executive'- 2-3 top executives chosen by Congress
Compromises at the Convention
The Great Compromise After several days of argument over the two plans, Roger Sherman proposed what was called the Connecticut Compromise or the Great Compromise: a bicameral legislature with the lower house based on population and the upper house having 2 members per state Other Compromises Three-Fifths Compromise: slave states wanted to count slaves when determining population for representation, free states did not; they agreed to count 3 of every 5 slaves; they also agreed to end the slave trade after 20 years and return runaway slaves
Checks and Balances Delegates agreed on a single executive (president) selected by electors chosen by state legislatures The final document also included checks and balances to keep any one branch from dominating over the other two It was signed September 17, 1787 and went to the states for ratification
Chapter 5 Section 3: Ratifying the Constitution
Main Idea: Federalists and Antifederalists struggled over the principles of the new Constitution. But the promise of adding a Bill of Rights brought about ratification.
Federalists and Antifederalists
When the Constitution was published, the public was shocked and angry (delegates had been sent to amend, not re-write, the government) Supporters of the new constitution were called Federalists They were led by James Madison and Alexander Hamilton and argued this new government was strong enough to survive and included checks on abuses of power Those against the constitution were called Antifederalists They were led by Samuel Adams and Patrick Henry and worried that the new government was too strong and would be no better than being under a monarchy in Britain Essays arguing both positions circulated widely among the states The major demand of Antifederalists was the inclusion of a Bill of Rights
Adding a Bill of Rights Federalists were better organized than the Antifederalists and began organizing state conventions- Delaware was the first to ratify the Constitution on Dec 7, 1787 Within 2 weeks, PA, NJ, GA, and CT ratified; ratification was much harder in MA, where their vote included a demand for a bill of rights Gradually the other states joined, although NC and RI ratified after the first Congress went into session (only 9 were required to make it law) The first goal of the new Congress was to amend the Constitution to add a Bill of Rights Most of these amendments addressed individual rights (free speech, due process, etc.) and the final one addressed rights of the states

1. Re: How to make account available for Journals andcalculationsChaudmo Dec 30, 2012 5:50 PM (in response to 927283)You can't input to calculated members - that includes journals.
Set up another custom hierarchy in which to put the calculation result for AccountA. The children of this hierarchy might be "RawCalc", "Adj" etc...
When you calculate Account A, place the result into the RawCalc member, ie
HS.Exp "A#AccountA.C2#RawCalc......."
Now you can enter an amount into the "Adj" custom member for that account, for any required adjustments.
The total of RawCalc + Adj will roll up to the top member for that C2 hierarchy, for example C2#TotalCalc.
You can then use TotalCalc as your adjusted AccountA total.
2. Re: How to make account available for Journals andcalculationsErich Ranz Jan 17, 2013 12:08 AM (in response to 927283)You might try changing the metadata so that Account A is not calculated. Then in the rules, write the calculation to run only on <entity currency> (or <entity curr adjs>, I'm a bit confused by the requirement).

COBRA - Health Insurance After Leaving a Job
If you lose your health coverage when you leave your job, you may be able to buy group coverage for up to 18 months under a Federal law called the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act or COBRA. Buying group coverage is cheaper than going out alone to buy individual coverage. If you have a disability, you can extend COBRA coverage for up to 29 months. COBRA may also cover young people who were insured under a parent's policy but have reached the age limit and are trying to obtain their own insurance.
For more information, contact the Department of Labor at 1–866–487–2365.
If you don't qualify for coverage or if your COBRA coverage has expired, you can still seek other options:
Contact your state insurance regulatory office for more information on these and other options. Information on consumer health plans is also available at the U.S. Department of Labor's website.
Health Care Services
The Bureau of Primary Health Care, a service of the Health Resources and Services Administration, offers health care for people regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay. To find local health centers, call 1–800–400–2742 and ask for a directory.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) runs hospitals and clinics that serve veterans who have service-related health problems or who simply need financial aid. If you're a veteran and would like to find out more about VA health care, call 1–800–827–1000.
Many local governments have public health departments that can help people who need medical care. Your local county or city government's health and human services office can provide further information. You can also check our state-by-state guide to assistance programs to see if there are free clinics in your area
Hospital Care
If you're uninsured and need hospital care, you may be able to get help. In 1946, Congress passed the Hospital Survey and Construction Act, which was sponsored by Senators Lister Hill and Harold Burton and is now known as the Hill-Burton Act. Although the program originally provided hospitals with Federal grants for modernization, today it provides free or reduced-charge medical services to low-income people. The program is administered by the Department of Health and Human Services. For more information, call 1–800–638–0742.
You can also check our state-by-state guide to assistance programs to see if there are free clinics in your area.
Prescription Drugs and Medical Supplies
If you can't pay for your medicines and supplies without help, you should tell your health care provider. Your doctor may be able to direct you to local programs or even provide free samples.
You or your doctor can order a free filament to check feet for nerve damage. The filament (with instructions for use) is available by calling the Bureau of Primary Health Care's (BPHC's) Lower Extremity Amputation Prevention Program (LEAP) at 1–888–ASK–HRSA (275–4772).
The Medicare program offers a searchable database of prescription drug assistance programs. This website gives information on public and private programs offering discounted or free medication. You can also learn about Medicare health plans with prescription coverage.
In addition, drug companies that sell insulin or diabetes medications usually have patient assistance programs. Such programs are available only through a physician. The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America and its member companies sponsor an interactive website with information on drug assistance programs.
Also, since programs targeted at the homeless sometimes provide aid, try contacting a local shelter for more information on how to obtain free medications and medical supplies. Check your phone book under Human Service Organizations or Social Service Organizations for the number of the nearest shelter.
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services
State Children's Health Insurance Program - The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has established the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) to help children without health insurance. SCHIP provides health coverage for children whose families earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but too little to afford private health insurance. Consumers can obtain information about the program by calling tool-free 1-877-KIDS-NOW (543-7669)
You can also find information state-by-state about social service programs in our "Assistance Programs" section.

Baroness Thatcher must understand that this morning. She got a stark warning from the Tory faithful yesterday - the nearest she has had to an open rebuke from her own people. As she entered the conference hall, everyone rose in ovation. Then, rather promptly, most sat down again. A Thatcherite minority whistled, waved Union Jacks, and pounded the floor. But the rest sat in increasingly stony silence, arms folded. Mr Major's ovation, shortly afterwards, was longer, louder and warmer.
So there she had it: if a few were determinedly enthusiastic, most were even more determinedly unenthusiastic. She has overdone it. I saw matrons looking pointedly into the middle distance; old men with faces like Easter Island statues. They are fed up with the vengeance of the memoir-writers, the digging up of reeking animosities. They understand that this is a battle in a graveyard. They were Conservatives before they were Thatcherites and they are Conservatives still.
What does this mean for the campaign to get rid of Mr Major? His position is still weak. There is little enthusiasm for him in the bars and halls round Blackpool. That ovation he got was less for him personally, more for the idea of loyalty and unity. Supportive ministers are concerned by his depressions, his dark moods, his bad days. He worries, sometimes aloud, about whether he can go on, how he can get through.
But he has yet another chance. There is a dull doggedness about the looming winter battles on tax and public spending which works to his advantage. Serious Tory MPs know perfectly well that if the Government loses those battles it is politically dead. It would be paralysed and literally purposeless. Until the winter ends, that threat makes the Major leadership issue seem a second-order question, even a frivolous one. It will surely recur next year. But for the time being, the imminence of political confrontation actually helps the Prime Minister's authority.
The mood was defined yesterday by two key players: Kenneth Clarke, and his number two at the Treasury, Michael Portillo. Mr Clarke's speech was, in tactical terms, a reckless gamble: he treated it like an adult audience. There were grim facts, plain warnings, only the occasional party political jibe. As a result of this common sense he was heard soberly, by which I mean pretty silently. (It is an almost inviolable rule that the better the speech at a Tory conference, the worse its reception.)
Just as significant as Mr Clarke's speech was Mr Portillo's. He has been adopted by many of the Thatcherite dissidents as their prince. He is in a sensitive position. He has strong anti-statist views and likes making big, philosophical speeches about them. He believes the private sector must drive deeper into the health service and education. He believes in the shrinking state, an ever-smaller burden of taxes.
You can see just how easily those principles can be misused by Thatcherite dissidents. They could even be cited as coded support for some future rebellion on tax rises. The Tory MPs and activists who bay against the extension of VAT look naturally to the Thatcherite chief secretary.
There is, in short, a potential conflict between Mr Portillo's position in the Tory party and his position in the Government. The merest hint of equivocation from him on the painful and unpopular positions being taken by Mr Clarke would be explosive. So Mr Portillo's speeches on the state are watched with more than passing interest by other cabinet ministers. One put it to me that 'the question of whether Michael is a grown-up politician is a central one for us'.
Last night, at a Blackpool fringe meeting, he answered it. The speech was as anti-state as ever. But on the hard choices ahead for the Government, he gave his right- wing supporters the same kind of harsh truth as Mr Clarke hammered out in the conference hall.
Mr Portillo mocked the 'facile slogan' of 'public spending cuts good, tax rises bad'. And he went on: 'To do only that which is popular is not to govern. To choose those elements of a government's programme that you will support is to dine a la carte: a luxury that a party of government cannot afford. And to pretend that slogans provide the means of curing our problems overnight is sheer escapism.'
That was a message the oppositionist right will dislike. It has done Mr Portillo no good with his natural supporters. But it certainly puts him on the side of the grown- up politicians and thus, in the longer term, makes him a more credible future leader. (Lady Thatcher, by contrast, is coming extremely close to no longer being a serious politician.)
I am not saying that the ideological argument about the role of the state is over in the Tory party. Just the opposite: a speech made by Douglas Hurd at the same time as Mr Portillo's was in direct contradiction to the younger politician's philosophy. It was no good, said the Foreign Secretary, trying to deal with the problems of the Nineties in the language of the Eighties: 'We should not give the impression that we believe in a permanent cultural revolution, in the style of Trotsky or Chairman Mao . . . We must show that we are not driven by ideology to question every function of the state . . .'
As long as there is a Tory party, that central argument will continue. But the question is how: in a relatively mature way, between colleagues, or as part of a destructive civil war? We still don't know, but the mood is better. The Thatcherite wreckers are being driven a little further to the wings of the party. Serious Tories are all now scared about the prospect of political disaster - Mr Portillo and Mr Hurd, from opposite ends of the spectrum, used remarkably similar language about the decline in national morale and the widespread cynicism about politicians. I do not know whether the Tory party can stage a full-scale political recovery. But I think it may be regaining its nerve.

Regarding 2x stud bearing walls at exterior conditions: Use caution when using 2x4 studs at exterior walls combined with an exterior insulating finish system (EIFS). If the walls are bowed due to studs that are twisted or crowned, the EIFS installer will not guarantee their work. The framer on one of my projects tried to notch the crooked studs to adjacent straight studs, leaving several 6 foot sections of wall with studs with 2 inches of stud at the mid height of the wall. (I had to make the framer replace the cut studs.) As Dennis pointed out, 2x4 studs at `12 inches may calc, but its not worth the potential problems. . If the framed walls do not meet the straightness required From: "Dennis S. Wish" <wish(--nospam--at)cwia.com> To: <seaoc(--nospam--at)seaoc.org> Subject: RE: Residential wood stud heights and stresses Date: Sat, 14 Feb 1998 11:15:53 -0800 Reply-to: seaoc(--nospam--at)seaoc.org Tom, I not sure if I missed something but it sounds like you have 1303 plf dead load (15psf floor load and 20 psf roof,including 30 feet of exterior wall at 15 psf) and 704 plf live load assuming 16 psf at the roof for the gable and 40 psf at the second floor. The 2x4 is laterally braced so the only concern in the strong direction. Without considering load duration at the roof, the studs when spaced at 16" o/c appear to be overstressed by 25%. However, at 12" o/c they appear to work. The problem with cutouts is entirely different and I believe you are correct here. Although, if you use a stud shoe such as the Simpson SS to reinforce the stud, will you gain back any capacity you may have lost through the cutout? I assumed that the studs were laterally unbraced for 10' at the first floor in the xx direction and constinously braced by virture of the sheathing both sides in the yy direction. Am I missing something? One more note - how do you pick up the R19 value in a 2x4 exterior stud wall without rigid insulation or is your area only required to have an R11 factor? In the desert, it is common to cover the outside face of studs or over plywood with a rigid insulator (Powerwall) and then lath and stucco. I am seeing less and less of this and more use of 2x6 framing with batt insulation.

Bibliographic Details
Title: The Early Coins of Myanmar (Burma): ...
Publisher: White Lotus
Publication Date: 2012
Binding: Hardcover
Book Condition: Fine
192 pp., illustrations, bibliography. In the ancient and early medieval periods, the people of Myanmar lived in a world full of coins. Coins form a major part of their archaeological heritage and represent some impressive examples of early Asian design. The author has devoted almost fifty years to recording the provenance of these coins. he has studied their symbols and combinations of symbols and offers the results of his research to the public, organized on a geographical and chronological basis. In doing so, he is not only concerned with research on the coins themselves, but also with studying them as documents of an otherwise lost history and culture. This research has led the author to evidence of strong Indian influences in ancient Burma around the beginning of the modern era; to new insights into the development and extent of the Kingdom of Sri Ksetra; to the rise and fall of Halingyi; the origins of Pagan; to the possibility of a Khmer incursion as far as Thaton; as well as to the existence in the medieval period of previously unknown small states in Upper Burma and on the Gulf of Martaban. The early coins of Myanmar/Burma open a new window onto one of the forgotten civilisations of Southeast Asia. 0.0. Bookseller Inventory # 9789744801913WL110812

Nicole was very helpful ! I have rented 2 u hauls the last couple of Month's and plan on using her again for my next trip.
Patrick M. on
The ability to drop off trailer was fine. The fact they called and wanted me to drop it off 4 hours out of my way with $84 bucks off my rental was a little concerning considering it wouldn't? cover my fuel let alone my time. That was a little disappointing.
david c. on
Yard was open but proprietor had stepped out with "back at 10am" sign on door. Not a problem since I was able to leave the trailer in the yard and continue on my trip. Just FYI
bruce r. on
N. H. was super! There should be s booklet to explain new F-650 shift options. The two modes. The M selection. I drove up and down some noticeable grades on I-5 between Yreka and Portland. I figured it out and it was great! Great truck!

This location was very helpful and knowledgable. However the 866 number for Uhaul national is AWFUL. As with when I picked up the truck, returning it with Uhaul national was a horrible experience. I called as I was supposed to when I arrived at my destination...they agent at the national number said everything was fine and she would send me the paperwork to return my truck. As I was fueling the truck to return I looked at the paperwork...she had me returning it to a different location 2 HOURS AWAY. That was NOT what my original contract said. So I called the local agent where they now had me returning...they said that it marked that I was asking for extra days and miles to take it from where my contract was supposed to terminate to the new city. It was ridiculous. I was standing at the place where my original contract was supposed to be. I returned it there anyway, but again, Haul national made it stressful and screwed it all up. While I liked the local agent, I will NEVER use Uhaul Again.

amy v. on
Being a Sunday and the 3rd of July, I understand to a degree that the location "looked open" but was locked up. I had to leave the van parked outside and place paperwork/key in a box by the front door. What concerned me the most was the $65 in gasoline that I just put in... would it be there when they checked it. It was discerning. In the past, I had rented through this location and was happy with the experience.
GREG G. on
Very efficiently cared for by single individual literally running to help me and others. Was impressed.

The internet has always been a dangerous place for the naïve and the uninformed but the recent spate of break-ins across the web – ranging from a behemoth like Yahoo, to a retailer like Billabong, to independent news site like Crikey – has highlighted just how transient this illusion of online security can be.
The online security mirage
Yahoo, Billabong, Crikey have become the latest in a growing list of companies that have seen their databases come under attack. So are hackers getting smarter or are we making their lives easier?

Nocturnal Animals is a 2016 American neo-noir psychological thriller film written, co-produced, and directed by Tom Ford, based on the 1993 novel Tony and Susan by Austin Wright. The film stars Amy Adams, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michael Shannon, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Armie Hammer, Laura Linney, Andrea Riseborough, Karl Glusman, and Michael Sheen. Principal photography began on October 5, 2015, in Los Angeles, California. The film was released in the United States on November 18, 2016, by Focus Features, received generally positive reviews from critics and has grossed $30 million worldwide.[3]
Nocturnal Animals was selected to compete for the Golden Lion at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival,[4] where it won the Grand Jury Prize.[5] It received numerous accolades, including nine BAFTA Award nominations and Golden Globe Award nominations for Best Director and Best Screenplay, plus a Best Supporting Actor win for Taylor-Johnson.[6] At the 89th Academy Awards, Shannon received a nomination for Best Supporting Actor.[7]
Angeleno art gallery owner Susan Morrow receives the manuscript for a novel penned by her estranged ex-husband Edward Sheffield along with an invitation for dinner during Edward's upcoming visit to Los Angeles. Marred by her deteriorating marriage to unfaithful businessman Hutton Morrow, Susan becomes consumed by the novel, which is both dedicated to her and named Nocturnal Animals after Edward's nickname for her.
Tony Hastings is a peaceful man who runs afoul of three local troublemakers – Ray Marcus, Lou, and Turk – during a road trip through West Texas. Forced off the road, Tony is powerless to stop Ray and Turk from kidnapping his wife, Laura, and their daughter, India, and leaving him with Lou, who forces him to drive Ray's car to the end of a road where he is abandoned. Tony manages to evade Ray and Lou when they return looking for him and makes his way to a nearby farmhouse to call the police.
Detective Bobby Andes is assigned to the case and, with Tony, discovers the bodies of Laura and India near an abandoned shack, where they had been raped and murdered. Tony is wracked with guilt. He is contacted by Andes a year later and is asked to identify Lou, who is charged as an accomplice in the murders of Laura and India.
Turk has been fatally shot in a botched robbery, leaving Ray as the final culprit to be brought to justice. Andes arrests Ray, but is ultimately forced to release him as they only have circumstantial evidence of his involvement. On the verge of retirement and having been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, Andes decides to take matters into his own hands and with Tony's help abducts Ray and Lou. Andes shoots Lou when he attempts to escape, but Ray succeeds in getting away.
Tony tracks Ray down on his own to the shack where Laura and India were killed and the two have a violent confrontation, in which Ray admits to raping and murdering Tony's wife and daughter, calling him weak. Tony fatally shoots Ray, but is blinded when Ray hits him on the head with an iron bar. Tony stumbles outside, succumbing to his brain hemorrhage, and dies after falling on his gun, shooting himself in the stomach in the process.
Shocked by the dark content and raw emotion of the novel, Susan reminisces about meeting Edward in college and their blossoming relationship, which Susan's domineering mother Anne Sutton objected to, claiming that Edward was not worthy of Susan's affections and that because of his romantic worldviews, he lacked the drive to actually achieve his goals; Susan ignored her mother's objections, ultimately marrying Edward.
After finding further evidence of Hutton's extramarital affair, Susan resumes reading the manuscript. Susan begins to recall her troubled marriage to Edward, which was strained by her frustration with his fledgling career and her dismissive attitude towards his literary aspirations, and culminated with Susan cheating on him with Hutton and ultimately divorcing Edward to marry him. Edward attempted to repair their relationship, but ultimately cut ties with Susan upon learning that she was pregnant with his child but secretly had an abortion to ensure the divorce proceeded. Susan realizes that the novel is an allegory for the loss Edward endured during their separation and that he dedicated the novel to her as a form of revenge, having sent the manuscript to prove to her that he was capable of writing a successful novel. Susan reevaluates her current behavior and contacts Edward. She arranges a meeting with him in hopes of mending their relationship, but Edward does not show up.
On March 24, 2015, it was announced that Smoke House Pictures' partners George Clooney and Grant Heslov would produce a thriller, Nocturnal Animals, based on Austin Wright's 1993 novel Tony and Susan.[15] Tom Ford was set to direct the film, based on his own script.[15] Ford said that the storytelling concept of the novel appealed to him, explaining, "The film is very different than the book it's based on. However, the central themes are the same, meaning that when I read the book, what appealed to me as a writer and a filmmaker was the idea of this device of communicating to someone through a work of fiction. Through a written work of fiction. And thereby communicating something that they had not been able to really communicate clearly. I loved that concept."[16]
The next day, Jake Gyllenhaal was set to star in the lead roles, Edward and Tony, Amy Adams was in talks for the female lead role, Susan, and sources confirmed that Joaquin Phoenix and Aaron Taylor-Johnson may be cast in other roles.[8] Focus Features acquired the US distribution rights to the film on May 17, 2015, while Universal Pictures handles the international distribution.[17] Focus' deal was made with $20 million, making this the biggest deal of the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, and one of the biggest of the mid 2010s.[17] On August 6, 2015, Taylor-Johnson was confirmed to play a mysterious character who poses a threat to Gyllenhaal's character Tony's family, while Michael Shannon was also added to the cast, playing a detective investigating the violent incident.[10] On August 28, 2015, Armie Hammer also joined the cast of the film, to play Hutton Morrow, Adams' character's husband.[9] On September 9, 2015, Isla Fisher joined the film to play Laura Hastings, Tony's wife.[11] On September 18, 2015, Ellie Bamber was cast in the film to play Tony's daughter.[12] On September 30, 2015, Robert Aramayo was added to the cast.[14] On October 5, 2015, Karl Glusman signed on to star in the film.[13] On October 8, 2015, Peter Nyong'o was also cast in the film.[18]
Principal photography on the film began on October 5, 2015, in Los Angeles, California.[13][19] It wrapped up on December 5, 2015.[20]
Nocturnal Animals had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 2, 2016.[21][22] The film also screened at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 9, 2016,[23] and at the BFI London Film Festival on October 14, 2016.[24]
The film was released in the United States on November 18, 2016.[25]
Nocturnal Animals grossed $10.7 million in the United States and Canada and $18.6 million in other countries for a worldwide total of $29.3 million.[3]
The film had its North American wide release on December 9, 2016, and was projected to open to $3–5 million. It ended up grossing $3.2 million, finishing 7th at the box office.[26]
Nocturnal Animals received generally positive reviews, with critics praising Adams, Gyllenhaal, Shannon and Taylor-Johnson's performances, Ford's direction and screenplay.[27] On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 73% based on 231 reviews, with an average rating of 7/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Well-acted and lovely to look at, Nocturnal Animals further underscores writer-director Tom Ford's distinctive visual and narrative skill."[28] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 67 out of 100, based on 45 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[29]
Owen Gleiberman of Variety praised the film, stating "Tom Ford's first film since A Single Man is another winner", and complimenting the performances of Gyllenhaal, Adams, Shannon and Taylor-Johnson.[30] Steve Pulaski of Influx Magazine gave the film a perfect A+, saying, "Nocturnal Animals is one of the best films of the year. A layered, masterful work of interwoven storylines mixed with crime-drama craft, infused with the same kind of pulsating, West Texas-vibes we saw so beautifully in Hell or High Water, and multilayered storytelling at its finest, the film features gifted actors throwing themselves into performances that require massive versatility between scenes."[31]
Geoffrey Macnab of the The Independent awarded the film five stars, praising the performances and the direction, and stating, "Nocturnal Animals is extraordinarily deft in the way it combines romanticism and bleakness. It's a film that easily could have slipped into extreme pretentiousness but it never puts a foot wrong."[32]

Browsers are not yet mature enough to display complex graphing solutions natively. Flash has a penetration of 99% of internet users and allows detailed and interactive charting of data on the fly. Below are some examples of dynamic flash graphing capable of being plugged into any web based database.
Sample Bar Chart
Interactive bar chart demonstrating auto-resizing of axes to accomodate very large, small or negative data.
Enter a numerical value, and click 'add value'. 'Restart' wipes added data and generates two values to repopulate graph.
The utility of this should be immediately apparent. Consider producing a dynamic report for each of thirty anaesthetists based in an obstetric unit, detailing procedure and demographic data, complication rates, using information kept on a database. This can be displayed in a user friendly way or analysed without resort to third party software. The finished report could be printed, or sent as a link to each member of staff.
Sample Frequency Diagram
Interactive frequency diagram drawn in real time from a dataset held on a database.
The chart on the right is based on a dataset of 150 temperatures taken from voluteer adults. Assuming normal distribution and selecting an appropriate interval the data is given to the flash program which then automatically counts frequency, calculates sd (s), interquatile range (IQR) etc. and charts the resulting data. Rolling your mouse over these values demonstrates them graphically on the chart.

This piece is a spinoff of a piece by Rebecca Bynum she produced in 2010 titled: "The Progressive Diminishment of Man" published in the online, New English Review (http://www.newenglishreview.org/custpage.cfm/frm/56585/sec_id/56585). My article extends Bynum's thesis further to reveal the basis of the ideology of the Progressive/Liberal movement, and how it diminishes Man through Big Government's diminishment of the Individual.
To summarize Bynum's revealing piece, she postulates that science has progressively diminished the value that Man has of himself in nature to the point that Man is seen a cause and a deleterious effect upon it. This results in Man losing a sense of potency and self regard. He is seen as just any other animal on the planet. However, science believes that Man's population is causing harm to the global environment and it must be reduced. This diminishment of Man by science can be seen in today's art and literature and in the cinema. In art we see the haphazard use of form and color; in literature, the aggrandizement of the villain over the hero; and in cinema, the obsession with blowing things up, vampires and zombies. Art imitating life?
Bynum states that Man, in this post modern, post Christian world, has the belief that science will ultimately answer all the questions of life and of the universe. Consequently, we have elevated science to a religion. As Bynum puts it:
The ostensible purpose of science is to serve man through the ever-expanding knowledge of facts, and yet as science has ascended, many scientists have mounted a purposeful attack on the ancient concept of man in order to diminish him in his own estimation. The feeling among scientists seems to be that man does not deserve a privileged place in the universe.
So how did we get from what Bynum refers to as the "ancient concept of man", otherwise the conception of Man as stated in the Old Testament of the Bible:
Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." Genesis 1:26, (NIV)
to the aforementioned conception of the diminished Man found in science?
The answer can be traced back to two 19th century men: Friedrich Nietzsche and Charles Darwin. The influence of their writings and philosophies, and others of similar ilk, who followed, strongly affected the Progressive movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They also influenced the current philosophical and religious fad called, Post-Modernism, which too has had a profound influence on the modern Progressive/Liberal movement.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a 19th century anti-Christian German philosopher. He is noted for the oft referred to quote: "God is dead", found in his book, "Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None" written between 1883 and 1885. Nietzsche also introduced the concept of "nihilism" into his philosophical thought. Nietzsche describes nihilism as the devaluation of morals and values, and the deconstruction of truth and knowledge. Through this process of nihilism, Nietzsche believed that Man evolves by constructing new meanings becoming what Nietzsche elsewhere calls the Übermensch, or superman.
Whenever Nietzsche is brought up, I find myself asking, "So when did God die, and says who" (At least, in the study of Man's thought i.e., philosophy)? We can trace the answer to this question back to Charles Darwin. Darwin was a 19th century scientist, oft referred to as the father of the theory of evolution. In Darwin's, "The Origin of the Species" (1859), his theory is that all life began as single cell entities that somehow were created by the accidental combination of chemicals. Over the eons, in the primordial ooze, these cells then somehow changed into other single cell entities, and then into multi-cell entities, thus eventually into all the animal and plant life found on the planet, including man. Therefore, Darwin rejected the Creation process, thus rejecting God and thus supposedly proving Nietzsche's contention that "God is dead."
Nietzsche and Darwin provided the fodder that lead to other German, French and English thinkers that eventually lead the way to anti-Judeo-Christian Post Modernism. Post Modernism rejects and seeks to deconstruct the philosophy, virtues and morality of the Enlightenment, classical Liberalism and the Natural Law of our Founding Fathers. It rejects the notion that there are absolute truths. It sees that all truth is relevant to the times in which we live. These beliefs were embraced by the early elite, intellectual Progressives of the Northeast and continue on to today.
Many in the Progressive/Liberal Democratic Party appear to be, at least in the upper ranks, atheists or at best agnostics. They consider themselves to be post-modern and post-Christian in their beliefs. The proof of this was clearly demonstrated during the 2012 Democratic Party Convention where the party's platform, for the first time ever, did not include any mention of God. When the media caught wind of this, President Obama instructed the party officials to put the mention of God back into the language of their party's platform. The amendment to change the platform had to be forced against what appeared to be a voice vote of "nays." The "nays", heard on National TV, then turned into boos after the convention chairman, Antonio Villaraigosa, Mayor of Los Angeles, force ruled the amendment as passed after three attempts at a voice vote, each clearly voting "nay" to keep God out of the platform.
The Progressive movement in the U.S., beginning with President Teddy Roosevelt and greatly expanded by President Woodrow Wilson, President Franklin Roosevelt, President Lyndon Johnson and then President Obama is the source of much of the diminishment of our Founding Documents leading to Big Government, hence the diminishment of the Individual's Rights and Liberties and hence, the diminishment of the Man.

Lyanne and Kyle met through work a few years ago when Lyanne was interested in joining the company Kyle works at! She happened to be waiting in the break room one afternoon and Kyle stumbled upon this pretty girl, sitting awkwardly waiting for the last hour. Kyle walked in and asked, "Who the hell are you?"
Lyanne explained what had happened, how she'd just been waiting around and Kyle said, you can come with me. For the rest of Kyle's shift, the two were together. While they were on the job, Lyanne mentioned she was enrolled in a judo class. Well, during her very next class, Kyle walked in the door. It turns out, her instructor was Kyle's uncle! Within a few weeks of Kyle hinting at his affection for her, Lyanne said yes to hanging out one afternoon… and the rest is history!
