Lord sleaze: we look back at Parliament's Hall of Shame
IN PARLIAMENT it was his job to ensure the highest possible standards.
Baron Sewel is the latest in a long line of politicians whose career has ended in disgrace
However, it's emerged that Baron Sewel's own level of behaviour fell short after he was pictured allegedly taking cocaine with prostitutes.
The 69-year-old deputy speaker of the House of Lords resigned yesterday following the claims and he's now said to be facing a police investigation.
The former Labour Minister for Agriculture and ally of Tony Blair was caught on camera telling the £200-a-night call girls that he wanted to be "led astray".
It's just the latest in a never-ending line of political scandals.
From affairs of the heart and tawdry flings, to rent boys and money-grabbing, we've seen it all down the years from supposed public servants.
But what on Earth motivates politicians, who are in high-profile posts with so much to lose, to gamble with everything?
A career at the top of politics takes years to build yet countless reputations, not to mention marriages, have been squandered in moments of madness.
Relationship expert and agony aunt Hillie Marshall says: "It's easy to see why the affairs happen. Politicians are especially vulnerable because they often work long hours and spend a lot of time away from home.
"Politics can be a very stressful occupation and working relationships with colleagues can spill over into affairs."
Politics can be a very stressful occupation and working relationships with colleagues can spill over into affairs
John Major, a Conservative whip at the time, and Edwina Currie, then a backbencher, could testify to that after their four-year fling in the mid- 1980s.
He was always derided as the "grey man" of politics and the revelation years later that the former Prime Minister was an adulterer caused shockwaves.
Major later remarked that his infidelity was the event in his life of which he was "most ashamed", without ever really explaining what drove him into the arms of his colleague.
It was also the final nail in the coffin of the legacy of the Conservative leader's ill-fated "back to basics" campaign.
Interpreted as a moral crusade, it was undermined by a string of "sleaze" scandals including an affair between MP Piers Merchant and a teenage aide.
In scandals involving Conservative Trade and Industry Cecil Parkinson and Labour Deputy Leader John Prescott, the common denominator was that their secretaries were involved.
Parkinson, a favourite of Mrs Thatcher, fell on his sword in 1983 after revelations of an affair with Sara Keays.
It emerged that she had his child during their 12-year-relationship.
Prescott's dalliance with Tracy Temple, which lasted two years, is said to have begun at the office Christmas party in 2002.
His wife Pauline later said she could never forgive him.
He admitted: "It was stupid. I've got no excuse really. People talk about mid-life crisis but I think it's part of an opportunity that developed."
Harder to explain is the attraction for Tory Minister David Mellor felt by actress Antonia de Sancha, 12 years his junior.
Their fling lasted three months before hitting the headlines in 1992.
Mellor, an unlikely lothario, later repaid his wife Judith for her loyalty by dumping her for another women.
Marshall says: "Power is an aphrodisiac and there are some very predatory women out there. It takes a very strong resolve to resist temptation."
She identifies another reason why politicians are apparently so willing to roll the dice.
"It's almost inevitable they will be caught but these sex scandals can also be a result of a craving for excitement," she says.
"The risk of being discovered and the secrecy involved can heighten sexual feelings."
That appears to be the case in the downfall of Tory MP Brooks Newmark last year.
He was forced to resign as a government minister and stood down from his Braintree seat in 2014 after it emerged that he'd sent sexually explicit images to an undercover reporter posing as a glamorous PR woman.
Providing a remarkably frank insight into his behaviour, Newmark said: "I was the man who had everything. I made a fortune, married a beautiful wife, had five children, and then fulfilled my lifelong ambition to be a politician. Now my political career is in ruins. Behind the outward facade of success and achievement, I have been battling demons – and losing to them. I craved adrenaline and risk."
Marshall points out that in France there is a tendency to overlook the murky private lives of politicians, as long as there's no impact on their ability to do their duty.
She adds: "Politicians are only human and in Britain I think sometimes we expect too much of them. We expect going into politics to be a calling, like joining the clergy."
In 2006 Mark Oaten, a former LibDem leadership candidate, quit frontline politics over revelations of an affair with a rent boy.
The married MP later claimed the political treadmill left him stressed, also blaming insecurity over his premature baldness for his indiscretion.
In 1998 then Welsh Secretary Ron Davies resigned from the Cabinet after he was mugged by a stranger he'd met on an area of Clapham Common that was known for gay encounters.
Five years later the political career of the former Labour MP ended when he was caught leaving a gay sex haunt.
There was an admission from married Mr Davies that he was addicted to dangerous sexual situations.
Turning a blind eye to the sexual peccadillos of our politicians is one matter, but down the years there's also been a raft of financial scandals.
In many of those cases it seems that a mixture of greed and arrogance are at the heart.
Wind the clock back to the 1970s and Labour MP John Stonehouse faked his own death.
At the time he was floundering in debts totalling £10 million in today's money.
Facing investigation and disgrace he left his clothes in a pile on a beach in Miami, before resurfacing in Australia under a new identity.
A minute's silence was even held in Westminster for the supposedly drowned politician.
Stonehouse, once tipped as a future Labour leader, was eventually hauled back to the UK and jailed in 1976 for seven years.
He was a man destroyed by his ambition to become rich.
We're often told by MPs that they are underpaid and could earn more in the private sector, so the lure of lucre is understandable.
More difficult to explain is why it's always nearly always male politicians who are caught up in scandals, both sexual and financial.
The obvious answer is that although the sex gap is narrowing there have always been fewer female MPs, but perhaps the men are simply less able to resist temptation.
We'd love nothing more for all our MPs and members of the House of Lords to be squeaky-clean.
However, as yet another politician reflects on a career in tatters, history shows that there's almost certainly another scandal waiting just round the corner.

I'm the one-man army Ason,
I've never been tooken out,
I keep M.C.'s lookin' out,
I drop science like girls be droppin' babies,
Enough to make a nigga go cra-a-azy,

Takin' all types of medicine,

Ason, I keep planets in orbit,
While I be comin' with deeper and more sh*t,
Enough to make and bake and shake your ass and clock and take,
Rhymes good as a tasty cake, mix, this style, I'm masterin',
Niggas catchin' headaches, what, what? You need Aspirin,
This type of pain, you couldn't even kill with Midol,
f**k around get sprayed with Lysol,
In your face like a can of mace, baby,
Is it burnin? Well, f**k, now you're learnin',
How, I don't even like your motherf**kin' profile,
Give me my f**kin' sh*t, (Ch-ch...plow!)
Not seen and heard, no one knows, you forget,
Niggas be quiet as kept,
Now you know nuthin', before you knew a whole f**kin' lot,
Your ass don't wanna get shot,
Alot of M.C.'s came through my showdown,
To watch me put your f**kin' ass lo-o-ow down,
As you can go, below zero, without a doubt I've never been tooken out,
By a nigga, who couldn't figure, yo by a nigga, who couldn't figure,
Yo by a nigga, who couldn't figure, how to pull a f**kin' gun triger,
Get the f**k outta here!
Nigga wanna get too close, to the upmost,
But I got stacks that'll attack any wack host,
"Introducin', yo f**k that nigga's name,"
My hip-hop drops on your head like ra-a-ain,
And when it rains it pours, cause my rhymes hardcore,
That's why I give you more of the raw,
Talent that I got will riz-ock the spot,
M.C.'s I be bur-r-rnin', bur-r-rnin' hot,
Woah ho ho! Hit me like slow-mo with the flow,
If I move too quick, oh, you just won't know,
I'm homicidal when you enter the target,
Nigga get up, act like a pig tryin to hog sh*t,
So I take yo ass out quick, the mics I had my nigga,
You can suck my dick,
If you wanna step to my motherf**kin' wreck,
(Ch-ch plow! plow! plow!) blown to death,
You got shot cause you knock knock knock,
"Who's there?" Another motherf**kin' hardrock,
Slackin' on your back cause raw's what you lack,
You wanna react? Bring it on back...
Shame on You, when you step through to, the Ol' Dirty Bastard,
Brooklyn Zoo! (X5)
What? My nigga...

HMRC have published updates to the Employment Income Manual giving guidance on the forthcoming business expenses exemption.
HMRC have published updates to the Employment Income Manual giving guidance on the operation of the new business expenses exemption, which takes effect from 6 April 2016. Of particular note are the details on the 'checking systems' which employers will need to put in place to ensure that payments or benefits properly fall within the exemption. Any employers using industry-specific scale rates will also be interested in the confirmation that they will need HMRC approval to continue to use these from 6 April.
Checking procedures
Employers will be required to have a system in place to check whether "all payments made or benefits provided under the terms of the exemption are properly within its scope". The guidance does not suggest a 'one-size-fits-all' approach but instead states that the form and regularity of checks will be dependent upon the following factors (inter alia):

HCMC – The General Department of Taxation has proposed new regulations that give sweeping power to tax authorities to fight tax violations, including putting violators in custody or filing criminal charges against them.
In the draft law on tax management sent to the Government, the tax authority plans to set up a force with investigative power, build a database and take professional measures to prevent violations against the tax law.
Besides, the tax authority wants to have authority to ask related agencies, organizations and individuals to provide information and documents to facilitate investigations, as well as seal goods, storehouses, documents, and detain violators in case there is proof of violations.
If serious violations subject to criminal charges are detected, the taxman can initiate prosecution and undertake investigations in accordance with the criminal procedure code and the law on organization of criminal investigation bodies.
According to the tax authority, those regulations are proposed to deter and prevent tax evasion and fraud.
As explained by the tax department, tax investigations are by nature prosecutions against taxpayers who intentionally decline to fulfill their tax obligations.
The taxman, according to the proposed regulations, can launch investigations without prior notice, and investigated tax payers will have lawyers or representatives during the process.
Many countries have already assigned tax investigations to their tax bodies. Once violations need to be prosecuted, tax authorities will take measures to collect evaded taxes, and at the same time hand over the cases to competent authorities in compliance with the criminal proceedings law.
More than 80 countries, including some ASEAN countries, have set up tax investigation bodies. The tax management body in Vietnam consists of both tax and customs agencies, with the customs having been given power to launch investigations in its area but the tax authority having no such power.

Every launch of SQL Server delivers many new capabilities–and possibilities for something new to learn. SQL Server 2016 is nothing new in this regards. Along with many other additional functions in SQL Server 2016, Microsoft company has spent improvements to back-up.

Installation of SQL Server
sql server
As with most items in life, doing factors right with SQL Server from the very first
phase makes it much simpler to handle later on. In this article, we'll look at five
considerations you should confirm after setting up SQL Server. These are in no
particular order but more of a mindmap depending on years of experience.
Making sure to confirm these matters can provide your daily life as a DBA more
soothing after passing the server over to the program group post-installation.
Step 1: Make servicing plans
One of the most common problems with mishaps is that they always seem to
happen on the most crucial server. Think about a problems unfolding and then
thinking, "I wish I would have taken a backup".
To prevent this very bad scenario, create sure to do the following on every SQL
Server example after installation:
should be identified by the program group as an ingredient of the SLA from the
information source group. Ensure that the back-ups are also planned to go off the
server on consistent foundation. What's the point of having a back-up regionally
on the server? What if it goes to a state from where it can never start up? Keeping
back-ups at a safe place keeps lifestyle much simpler.
Complete, differential and deal log (if applicable). How often of back-up
Integrity check: It is better to identify information source crime as soon as this
indicates. Maintenance programs having "CHECKDB" can help. Also, someone
needs to actually take a look at the outcome. The great information is that the
ERRORLOG has a listing of CHECKDB outcome so consistently verifying ERRORLOG
can help.
Index and research maintenance: If you have proved helpful on efficiency problem
solving, you will likely agree with the fact that much of the time upgrading
research with full check out or restoring indices will take care of many problems.
build a strategy as an ingredient of post-installation.
Cleanup: Maintenance programs record in MSDB information source and review
information files on os can cause a lot of waste in hard drive room. The clean-up
projects are offered in the care strategy to prevent such problems.
Step 2: Examine and set sp_configure values
This phase is often skipped after set up. Here are a few principles that are very
necessary to change as per program.
Max Server Memory: If this is not designed, SQL Server would try to eat as much
storage as it wants, which would cause a storage problems for other programs
and the os itself. Keep about 15% for the os and provide the rest to the SQL
Server example, offered there are no other cases of SQL Server on the device.
Max level of parallelism: Instantly, the value for this establishing is zero, which
must be set depending on the type of program using the SQL Server example set
up. If it's going to be genuine OLTP, then the common suggestions is to set the
value to 1 or ½ or ¼ of the physical cores available on the server. If its non-OLTP,
then consult you group about which establishing they suggest. Making it to zero is
not a wise decision.
Other settings: Centered on utilization and after talking to you group,
xp_cmdshell, SQLCLR, and OLE Automated might need to be allowed.
Step 3: Immediate information file initialization
This function allowed quicker recover, quicker auto-growth, and quicker
production of information source having huge information file dimensions. This is
SE_MANAGE_VOLUME_NAME) authorization for the SQL Server start-up account.
This authorization keeps SQL Server from "zeroing out" new area when it makes
or increases a computer information file (not deal log files).
To give authorization, go to Start > Run > SecPol.msc. Then go to "Local Policies"
> "User Privileges Assignment" > "Perform quantity servicing tasks"
In many circumstances, a DBA might add the "Everyone" consideration to various
stocks and authorizations because this can seem simpler. This is often OK on an
analyze server, but for a manufacturing SQL Server, you should be much more
restricting in providing such authorizations. In this case, preferably, the
"Everyone" customer will be eliminated from non-Windows generate (C drive).
Step 5: Program database
Based on the use of SQL Server, there are many suggestions possible for it
TempDB: Make more information similar to ½ or ¼ the actual CPUs. This is
important for those kinds of fill which use TempDB on large foundation, either by
customer platforms or system things. All information files should be of same
dimension and same development. You also need to allow track banner 1117 and
1118 as start-up factors. Having several LDF has no benefits.
Model: If there are intends to develop more information source on this example
later, then a design has to be designed so that the new information source are
using the best methods for configurations. You can choose 2 GB information
quality and 512 MB log dimension. You should set auto-growth of set dimension
rather than 10%. In accordance, 512 MB development is good for design
information source information files, which would be got by recently designed
information source.
Depending on your particular SQL Server implementation, there will likely be
many other things on your list. However, if you pay interest to these five products,
you will be able to prevent some common problems in the long run. The oracle
dba course in Pune is available in the sql training in Pune.

You should use the Win7 version which came with your PC which is almost always Home Premium. Check now for the COA sticker on the bottom of laptop to see what version it shipping with - most likely Win7 Home Premium. Then check if that's the version that's installed at Control Panel>System.
You did not change your System specs yet. Do you actually have 2gb RAM on that Aspire? If so look again at Control Panel>System page to see if it's 32 bit as if it's 64 bit that small of an amount of RAM can make it drag some.

"Summer Job"
- First published July 2010.
"Summer Job" was first published in the July-August 2010 issue of "Cliff Notes."
We were proud to hear from Bob that he had the honor to serve as Grand Marshall of the 2014 Westwood Memorial Day Parade.
We were saddened two years later to learn of Bob's passing on July 14, 2016. He was 96 years young.
Bob Hartwick was seventeen in 1937 when he hired on as a lifeguard at Palisades Interstate Park in New Jersey. For the next four summers he worked at the park's beaches during the day, playing trumpet in local big bands in the evenings. Now ninety, he shares some of his memories with us.
First thing in the morning they raked the beaches, cleaning up the cigarette butts (almost everyone smoked back then). One morning in 1941 as he raked the beach at Bloomer's, scraps of burnt paper wafted down from above: guest checks from the Rustic Cabin, the night spot atop the Palisades in Englewood Cliffs. (He'd noticed a column of smoke rising along the cliffs as he drove from Teaneck that morning.) That's how he learned the famous club — Sinatra got his start there, always calling it his place — had burnt down.
Another time when he was raking the beach at Bloomer's his eye caught a splash out in the river: a sailboat dropping anchor. A man dove off the boat to take a swim as a woman onboard watched. The flood tide was running at full force that morning, pushing both boat and swimmer north — left, to Bob's view. The anchor line pulled taut; the boat pointed into the tide and held. The swimmer kept moving left and moving left and soon he was far upriver from the boat, pounding the water to try to get back. If the woman would just pull up the anchor, Bob thought: the tide would take the boat toward the panicked man.
Instead — she dove in to help him!
From half a mile away Bob knew they were in deep trouble then. He yelled to the man who ran the nearby refreshment stand, told him to get the park police on the phone — tell them to send the launch down the river! Bob took one of the big paddle boards he'd been trained to use and pushed off into the open river, calculating as best he could the angle he needed to compensate for the incoming tide: one shot to get it right. He was a strong kid, his reckoning dead on. He got to the swimmers just as they'd begun to cling to one another; in moments they'd pull each other under. He told them to grab hold of the nose of the board. Just rest, he told them. It took only a few minutes more for the police launch to motor down from Alpine — minutes the exhausted swimmers would not have had.
The river was murky. Once, during slack tide, he was on the lifeguard stand at Undercliff talking with some kids when he noticed what looked like an old mop head adrift in the river. Then he looked again and dived in and came up the ladder on the pier with a teenage girl over his shoulder. For several long minutes he worked on the girl, pumping her lungs, until at last she coughed out river water and drew breath again.
The Day Liners — DeWitt Clinton, Peter Stuyvesant, the Hendrick Hudson — came up the river, their big rollicking wakes knocking the swim floats around. (The maintenance crews added sand to the paint on the floats, so swimmers would keep their footing. That didn't stop the seagulls from landing on the floats, spitting up fish bones, making a slippery mess anyhow. One of the lifeguards' tasks, then, was to go out to the floats with buckets and garage brooms to scrub them down.)
To this day he feels grateful to head lifeguard George Donovan — a one-of-a-kind guy, he'll tell you still — not just for hiring him, but for helping him meet a certain girl Bob had noticed at Bloomer's his first summer. Her name was Irma. She came from Canarsie, staying the summer with family on Hudson Terrace in Englewood Cliffs. She was "a climbing fool," he remembers, trekking up and down the steep Dyckman Hill trail to the beach and back. They dated those four years, Bob picking her up in a beat-up '29 Dodge that he somehow kept running.
About that Dodge. In the fall, after the beaches were closed, he'd help George Donovan haul boats out of the water along the "marine railroads" the park had set up at the boat basins, maneuvering them with lines and rollers and big crowbars onto blocks for winter storage. Bob noticed the heavy drums into which the boaters poured their used motor oil. He found that by spring the silt and gunk settled to the bottom of the drums; the oil was honey-clear at the top. With George's permission, he'd tip the big drums into a funnel and "decant" the oil into five-gallon containers he used to keep that Dodge going.
After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941, Bob enlisted in the Navy, training as an aviation machinist. He served on two small carriers, Card in the North Atlantic, Tripoli in the Pacific. Tripoli was at Ford Island at Pearl when the Japanese surrender was announced. (Something you'll never forget: those thousands of cheering sailors up and down the row of gray ships, each scaling his white cap into the sky, like birds.)
He and Irma married while he was on leave early in the war. After the war they brought up their two daughters in Westwood. Bob worked on airplane engines at Curtiss-Wright in Wood-Ridge — until jets took the place of piston engines — then at Bendix in Teterboro, finally at a machine shop in Englewood.
He lost Irma five years ago.
More than a hundred thousand people used the park's bathing beaches each of the summers Bob Hartwick worked as a lifeguard. Among them, he would find his life's companion — and save the lives of three strangers. Not bad for a kid at a summer job.

Bayern stunned by late defeat at Frankfurt; Dortmund batter Bayer; Stuttart sink Hannover; Narrow wins for Freiburg & Werder
Borussia Dortmund 3 – Bayer Leverkusen 0 (Bundesliga, March 20, 2010) After weathering the storm in the first half, Lucas Barrios became Dortmund's hero with two goals in 10 second-half minutes before Dimitar Rangelov rounded things off late on to earn the Westphalians all three points. The win sees Jurgen Klopp's side in fourth position, just five points behind Leverkusen who remain in third, three points behind the leaders.
Eintracht Frankfurt 2 – Bayern Munich 1 (Bundesliga, March 20, 2010) (Longer highlights here.) Peeling off at the Frankfurt back post in the 7th minute, Bayern forward Mirolsav Klose fired the league leaders into an early lead. Bayern blew the match in dramatic fashion just before the fulltime when when a howler from stand-in left-back David Alaba allowed sub Juvhel Tsoumou to draw Frankfurt level and then fellow sub Martin Fenin cracked home a stunner in the far post to leave Van Gaal tearing his hair out as Bayern's title hopes to a big hit.
Stuttgart 2 – Hannover 0 (Bundesliga, March 20, 2010) Stuttgart broke the deadlock with Hannover 10 minutes before the break when Alex Hleb whizzed down the left and saw his cross converted at the near post by Ciprian Marica's diving header. The hosts doubled their lead at the start of the second half when Marica finished tidily for his brace.
Freiburg 1 – Mainz 0 (Bundesliga, March 20, 2010) A rare 20-yard daisy-cutter from Johannes Flum the cannoned into the net off the foot of the post put second-bottom Freiburg into a 10th minute lead over Mainz.
Werder Bremen 3 – Bochum 2 (Bundesliga, March 20, 2010) (Longer highlights here.) Relegation threatened Bochum took a surprise 14th minute lead at Werder when striker Stanislav Sestak burst through the home defence and steered his shot past the keeper. Claudio Pizarro fired in the equalizer on 58 minutes, but as they sought a winner, the hosts were far too exposed at the back: just five minutes later, Zlatko Dedic reclaimed the lead for Bochum on the counterattack. Werder would not be denied their points, however. Within seconds, Marko Marin responded with a strike of his own, before Torsten Frings blasted in the winner on 81 minutes.
Nurnberg 0 – Hoffenheim 0 (Bundesliga, March 20, 2010)

By Asif Ashna
Dear Dr. Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai, Greetings!
Before referring to politics, I would like to wish you good health and prosperity and the ability to read this letter with patience because it is a clear political note. I can see you must be tired after going through two rounds of election campaigns.
Mr. Dr. Ghani!
Let me focus on the main point, "politics and destiny". These two are confusing issues since long in this country. It is like quicksand… the more you try to get out, the deeper you sink. It is not simple for you to come up with a solution nor I can find a solution. Both of us know some facts about main issues and the public is also aware to some degree because politics since long is playing with the lives and the destiny of our people.
With the election campaign coming to an end tonight, the second round is going to decide our country's destiny long mingled with incidents, tragedies and the subsequent massive sacrifices. The Afghans have a history of their deprivation of basic human, civil and political rights.
You and no one else can refuse word "citizen" is historically given a symbolic significance in our country and those tried to ensure citizens their rights got severely punished. Even you once told the media: "I have problem with the word "citizen", It should be "compatriot" instead."
Our political history tells us how rights of citizens were violated when tribalism ruled by force resulting in bloodshed, with brothers killing brothers, fathers and sons, uncles and nephews and tribes killing tribes.
And if we compare our political history with the current situation, the conclusion is: "we live in a country where the unit of length is meter and that of mass is kilogram. But how unfortunate is this that tribes, seeped in poverty and deprived of basic rights, are the unit of politics. Drastic reforms are needed to put this phenomenon to an end.
Reforms are possible if the rule of tribalism is ended and citizenship is institutionalised and civic and political rights are ensured.
I am so happy writing this letter to a person who besides running for the presidency is also a professor of anthropology. The word "professor" may not give value because you are deemed the world's second top thinker and the so many honours, which you also used to woo voters during election campaigns. But still for several reasons, I am your critic.
From the list of your honors, I only accept: 1. you are PHD in anthropology. 2. A former World Bank economist. 3. Ex-Finance Minister. 4. Ex-Kabul University Chancellor. 5. The Security Transition Commission head.
You are running for the presidency and call yourself the most deserving one. Recently when Abdul Qayum Karzai announced he would support you, you told the gathering that "it is because of their wisdom and experiment that people support me". By saying so, you humiliated millions of citizens who didn't vote for you in the first round and will not do in the runoff.
One of those who didn't vote for you was me, because you are a discriminator and you have no belief in democratic values because you are a populist.
Why you are a discriminator? In the public, your slogan is "equal rights for all Afghans", but in politics, your activities are based on tribal discriminations. Let me cite some examples:
- Your stance on the Bagram prisoners is based on tribal prejudice. In your interview with 1 TV, you said 98% of the prisoners speak the same language, which is not fair.
Now explain if that is not tribal prejudice? And for balancing prisoners what should we do? Should we conduct Taliban-creating projects in stable areas? Also if there are crimes and violations, should we set tribe linage and language as standards for prosecutions?
- At the threshold of the 2009 elections, you wrote a book "path to the transparent government" on topics from effective government to improved economy, social development to international cooperation, rule of law and stability and with solution to the issue of you did not touch the issue of Hazara and Kuchi tribes. Your solutions are all based on ethnic discriminations. At a gathering on your book at the Arezo Hotel, you got nervous.
- You were defending the release of Bagram prisoners and once on campaign trial in Kandahar you said: "one and a half years back, I promised you the release of Bagram prisoners, which I had fulfilled." If this is not an ethnic discrimination when you said that?
Why you don't believe in democracy?
- I am starting from allying with Mujeddedi. What was the logic behind bringing this old man to use him for religious purposes against democracy and people's will?
- What you have done with the Hezb-i-Islami Party? You introduced some individuals as prominent figures, but they don't have membership of that party. What about the splinter group of Hezb-i-Islami Party that is registered with the government? Isn't this act against the principles of parties in democratic society?
On the first not of meeting with the right and justice party, you were claiming that you four people were a team, and have a written commitment to work as a team. You were also emphasizing that Mohammad Hanif Atmar and Qayum Karzai should also join your team, and after that a team of six members would nominate one person for the presidential elections.
When I criticized your plan, what was your reaction? Do you remember? We were arguing that your four member team was acceptable to us (the right and justice party) and we were respecting your written agreement; but you should also accept us as a team. Qayum Karzai was not acceptable to us because Afghanistan was not in a situation to leave the power to another family member.
But your answer nervously was: "Qayum will make us stronger. He is a good personality in the country. Did I criticize when you visit Muheqdiq every day?"
Your answer had three major problems: 1. it was nervously and changed moral of the meeting. 2. You didn't respect the right and justice party. 3. I was not representing from the ethnic aspect, but was there as a steering committee member of the party, but you tied me to Muheqqiq and accused me of meeting him daily.
- The second round of election will be part of our history in the future and the judgment would be based on democracy, aren't you worried about the chapter of history?
Why are you a populist politician?
I will skip the joke of world second thinker's title given to you, and will also not talk about Zahra Nadiri calling you "the political and ideology leader". But when your PHD is in anthropology, why you call yourself an economist? In a country when there is no exact figure about its population, how could you talk about the exact number of trees?
I completely honor your religious performances, but why are you going to Haj during the election campaign?
Mr. Ghani!
Do you know the distance between your judgment and my documented critics on the transition of security responsibility, and the release of Bagram prisoners? What do you think, what were the results of your actions on security situation? What do you expect and what would be the decision of people on the voting day about you?
Then no need to prolong the debate, if wanted to answer my letter, I suggest to read my letter times and again carefully.
The final words, if you want to know better the meaning of thinking, there is need to read the famous book "Chuneen Goft Zartusht" the writer has a lot to tell you about governance and governors, scholars and ethics.
The views expressed in this article are the author's own and do not necessarily reflect Pajhwok Afghan News's editorial policy.

Please write down your wild guess on words below, and check it out after you finish reading news.
Spread of MERS is low, thanks to disease controls
With tight disease control, the risk of MERS-Middle East respiratory syndrome-being spread in China remains low, although the outbreak in South Korea has been rapidly worsening in the past two weeks, according to the Guangdong provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
A South Korean visitor to Guangdong was confirmed to be the first MERS patient in China on May 29.
South Korea is being urged to provide detailed information about its MERS outbreak as soon as possible in order for Chinese disease control authorities to prevent new imported cases, according to Song Tie, deputy director of the Guangdong CDC.
The 78 people who had close contact with the South Korean MERS patient in Guangdong have all been located, according to the provincial health and family planning commission.
Among them, 75 have been quarantined as of Thursday and none of them has shown any signs of sickness. For the three who have left the province, the commission has notified the countries and regions where they are staying.
The South Korean patient in China is still in a serious condition.
"We've adopted the strictest disease control measures to handle the MERS case, quickly locating the patient and those who had close contact and have put them under close watch. Based on the current monitoring results, it is nearly impossible for new MERS cases to appear in China unless there are new imported ones," Song said.
"But we are concerned about the situation in South Korea. People travel frequently between the two countries for business or travel in large numbers. We hope South Korea can make public as soon as possible the detailed information of its MERS spread, such as where the epidemic points are and whether it has spread to communities," he said.
The number of South Koreans diagnosed with MERS rose to 35 on Thursday, including five tertiary contagions, or third-generation cases, according to South Korea's Health Ministry. The first patient tested positive on May 20.
As of Thursday, three people in South Korea had died of the disease. More than 1,100 schools in the country decided to suspend classes on Thursday.
Anxiety about the MERS outbreak has also spread, with the Korea Tourism Organization reporting on Thursday that more than 4,400 tourists from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan had canceled their trips to South Korea.
"Sustained human-to-human transmission was rare among previous MERS cases in the Middle East. The tertiary contagions in South Korea are a warning that the virus may have mutated and the infectiousness of MERS may have become stronger," said Li Chufang, an associate researcher at the Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Disease.
"However, we don't see a big possibility of large-scale human-to-human transmission," he said.
Zhong Nanshan, a renowned respiratory expert, said a massive outbreak of MERS in China was unlikely given a lack of evidence on sustained human-to-human transmission of the virus.
Local officials and doctors have also expressed confidence in controlling the virus, citing experience gained from outbreaks of bird flu and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
SARS was first reported in 2002 in Guangdong, which borders Hong Kong. It killed around 800 people in the world. In addition, Guangdong is one of the Chinese provinces that has dealt with the bulk of H7N9 bird flu cases since it emerged in 2013.
MERS is a respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus, similar to SARS. The first human case emerged in Saudi Arabia in 2012. There is no vaccine or treatment for the disease, which has a fatality rate of about 40 percent.

New Cancer Council Victoria data released today has revealed regular smoking rates in Victoria have dropped to a record low of 13.3%.
Almost 60% of Victorian adults have never smoked, with the survey recording the highest proportion of never and non-smokers since the survey began in 1998.
The Smoking prevalence and consumption in Victoria: key findings from the 1998-2012 population surveys report also found:
Quit Victoria Executive Director Fiona Sharkie said this evidence of a 'narrowing of the gap' in smoking status between low and high SES Victorians could be due to tobacco control initiatives with a particular emphasis on reducing smoking among low SES adults.
"We've seen declines across all age groups and socio-economic groups in recent years but the acceleration in the decline in smoking rates amongst Victoria's most disadvantaged communities and young people is very encouraging," she said.
"Highly emotive anti-smoking advertising campaigns have been shown to have the greatest impact on low SES groups and is the result of long-term investment from both State and Federal governments.
"We need to see that investment sustained at high levels in this area for this decline to continue."
Cancer Council Victoria CEO Todd Harper said the proportion of people who had never smoked had risen by just over 8% since 1998.
"This is a reflection of the fact that fewer young people are taking up the habit than ever before," he said.
But Mr Harper cautioned against interpreting the drop in smoking rates as a sign smoking was no longer a major health problem in Victoria.
"Lung cancer is Victoria's biggest cancer killer and 80% to 90% of lung cancers are caused by smoking," he said. "With almost 4000 Victorians dying every year from smoking-caused disease, tobacco must remain a public health priority."
The Centre for Behavioural Research in Cancer has been conducting annual Smoking and Health telephone surveys of Victorian adults since 1985.
This report presents data on smoking prevalence and cigarette consumption from the most recent survey undertaken. Trend data from across the 15 prior surveys are also reported.
The survey, fielded in November 2012, is unable to provide an assessment of the relationship between plain packaging and larger graphic health warnings and smoking prevalence.

More than half of restaurants surveyed by the Statistics and Census Service (DSEC) reported a year-on-year growth in revenue in January 2017.
The data released yesterday indicates that 61 percent of interviewed restaurants and similar establishments reported a year-on-year growth in revenue in January; a substantial increase of 27 percentage points from December 2016.
However 28 percent of the interviewed restaurants & similar establishments reported a year-on- year decline in revenue, down by 16 percentage points from December 2016.
For retail, 53 percent of retailers reported a year-on-year increase in sales in January 2017, up by 11 percentage points from December 2016.
All leather goods retailers reported higher year-on-year sales in January 2017.
Restaurant managers said they expected slower business after the Lunar New Year, with 56 percent anticipating revenues to increase year-on-year or remain stable in February.
However, 44 percent of restaurants and similar establishments predicted a year-on-year decline in receipts.
Retailers also expected less business in February, according to DSEC. 17 percent of retailers said they anticipated a year-on-year increase in sales in February, a month-on-month decline of 8 percentage points.
The sample of the Business Climate Survey on Restaurants and Similar Establishments and Retail Trade was selected based on the aggregate value of the establishments' revenue, comprising 167 restaurants and similar establishments, as well as 135 retailers.

Claim: Photographs show baby copperhead snakes discovered in a potted plant.
Status: Real pictures; inaccurate description.
Examples: [Collected via e-mail, 2006]
Origins: Many
urban legends involve unexpected, scary encounters with slithery snakes, and the text and pictures reproduced above are somewhat reminiscent of the tale of a young boy on a fishing expedition who mistakes some small venomous snakes for worms (with tragic results).
The lack of any identifying details about when, where, and under what circumstances these
Either way, we can make a few general points about what's described here:
- It isn't unusual for snakes (venomous or otherwise) to occasionally turn up in consumer products and packaging (or in the stores that sell them), particularly at outlets that vend imported produce or gardening and nursery supplies (although sometimes such discoveries are more likely attributable to pranksters than to Mother Nature).
- Roughly speaking, only about 5% of the snake species found in the U.S. are venomous, so the average encounter with a snake is unlikely to result in any harm to humans.
Of course, that latter point is of small comfort if one should run across a serpent of the minority venomous variety, as was allegedly the case in the narrative reproduced above, in which the unsuspecting recipient of a gift potted plant supposedly found a couple of baby copperheads. However, the small snakes depicted in these photographs don't bear the distinctive rust-colored hourglass markings or lemon yellow tails of baby copperheads; they're members of some other small, relatively harmless species that have been misidentified. Also, baby copperheads could not have come from
"eggs in the holes of the cardboard" that "hatched later," as copperheads, like many species of venomous snakes, produce eggs that develop and hatch inside the mother's body until the young are expelled live (i.e., ovoviparous).

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) recently announced the public release of several tools related to metadata for digitized video, including AVI MetaEdit, reVTMD, and development of integration with the existing tool MediaInfo. Of primary concern in the development of the resources is the ability to capture, review, edit, embed, and compare/analyze metadata specific to digital video files, either individually or simultaneously across large batches of files. Developed in collaboration with AudioVisual Preservation Solutions (AVPS) and with members of the Federal Agencies Digitization Guidelines Initiative (FADGI), the resources are free and open for download at NARA's GitHub site or on Archives.gov.
Similar to the BWF MetaEdit tool that AVPS also developed in collaboration with FADGI, AVI MetaEdit supports embedding and validating metadata in RIFF-based AudioVisual Interleave format (AVI) video files. AVI is currently the target format for creation of Preservation Masters within the Digitization Services Branch at NARA.
reVTMD is an XML schema tailored to include fields that address the creation and long term management of reformatted videos, especially with the cultural heritage community. It is a concise subset of the large array of technical metadata available, structured in a way to make it highly usable for accessing and managing all types of video files beyond AVI. Drawing from existing schemas such as videoMD and PB Core, this new schema, according to a NARA press release, "adds value to the community through the inclusion of parseable structures to record capture history data which would include critical information such as make and model of playback and capture devices."
As part of reVTMD development, new support within the MediaInfo tool was developed, including the ability to extract technical metadata from a wide variety of video file formats and wrappers, populate the reVTMD schema and export the data as a reVTMD schema compliant XML file.
The release of these resources follows close on the heels of several other exciting and innovative developments by NARA's Digitization Services. Along with efforts by FADGI, Library of Congress, and other federal agencies, these kinds of efforts are crucial to our ability to preserve digital files and continue to provide access to our cultural heritage. AVPS is excited to have contributed here and to be a part of creating resources available for the broad archival and media communities.

join MarineMomsOnline yahoo group and post the question. You will get lots of good suggestions.
This cookie was popularized by World War One care packages to soldiers of the Australia New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC), since they could be made without eggs, and they kept well on the overseas voyage to Europe. The dough is very crumbly, but a small ice-cream scoop will enable you to form the biscuits quickly and in a uniform size and shape. Expand Martha Stewart Living, October 2000
Yield Makes about 3 dozen Ingredients 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups rolled oats 2 cups sugar 1 cup desiccated coconut 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter 2 tablespoons Lyle's Golden Syrup 3/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 cup boiling water
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, and coconut. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter with syrup. Dissolve baking soda in boiling water, and add to butter mixture. Stir to combine. (Be careful; if the butter is hot, it will bubble up considerably.)
Add butter mixture to dry ingredients, and stir to combine. Using a 1 1/2-inch ice-cream scoop, drop onto prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart (be sure to pack the scoop tightly so the mixture doesn't crumble). Flatten cookies slightly with the heel of your hand. Bake until golden brown and firm but not hard, about 15 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
They are sweet and chewy. Plus healthful.
Exactly what I was thinking - snickerdoodles!
Peanut butter cookies
Oatmeal cookies
Short bread
Seal-A-Meal is a must. But don't put too many in one pkg. I even sent some cakes, single layer in tin foil pan in the seal-a-meal pkg. the only thing we had a problem with was when I missed that one didn't get sealed and the banana bread got a bit moldy, but they just cut off the mold & ate it any way! ;-). I tried to send a pkg a week. Once we sent 300 spritz Christmas cookies.
It will last through anything.
My Uncle (WWII vet) stated that his boat nearly sank when someone dropped a fruit cake.
I like ginger snaps and sugar cookies for out in the field when it is warm out. For shipping, my mom used to send me care packages with the goodies protected by REAL popcorn to keep them from breaking. Never was hungry enough to eat the stale popcorn though!
Rice Krispie treats are a good choice. Can mix in chocolate chips or M & Ms. We also sent alot of Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies, right in their boxes. A couple Santa hats for padding and/or popped popcorn in large baggies.
When my brother was in Vietnam, Mom used to use a metal tin and pack the cookies in popcorn. I suspect they probably crumbled, but the popcorn was good too.
If you had time I would suggest German honey cookies.
Fresh out of the oven they are okay, but taste much better after six months aging in a tin, and peak at about one year. I have some that are five years old, and they are the "brandy" of cookies, in that you eat them slow and savor every bite.
They have no fats or oils in them, other than inside some chopped, blanched almonds.
German Honey Cookies
(full maturity at 6 months)
Heat 1 pint of honey to boil, then cool until
Finely chop 3 ounces each of citron, candied
orange and candied lemon peel. Mix it with:
1 cup chopped blanched almonds
1 tsp grated lemon rind
3 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
3-1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
6 beaten eggs.
Mix 1 tbsp soda in 2 tbsp hot water, then add
it and the honey to the mix, then add:
1/4 cup orange juice.
Then stir in 5 cups bread flour, using a bread
Permit the dough to rest for 12 hours or more.
Drop small amounts from a spoon onto greased
baking sheets. Bake in a 350F oven for 8-10
For icing, mix 2 cups confectioners sugar with
3 tbsp or more boiling water and 1 tsp vanilla
extract. Brush on cooled cookies.
Fresh cookies are somewhat tame in character, and
the longer they age, up to a year, the better they
taste. It is best to store them in a large tin,
with layers of waxed paper in between.
Alternatively, the dough can be baked into a loaf
as a honey fruitcake, and can be eaten soon after
it has cooled.
This isn't cookies, but when my daughter was deployed to Iraq, she was craving the Rum Cake that is a holiday favorite at our home. It improves with age, and the rum preserves it very well! And she had enough to share with her friends!
Ask them what kind of cookies do they like and send them.
I send snickerdoodles. They do great every time, any season.
My mother and grandmother sent a box of cookies to my uncle (aboard ship) during WWII. By the time they arrived, they were nothing but delicious crumbs — but well appreciated, even so. In the 1940s, people packed cookies in popped popcorn. I'm sure that we have better materials today.
They have no idea what is in your frosting..This is PC being employed by the military so it sounds good. If the rescipe calls for bacon grease use it (but don't tell ) em.
I am on my fifth deployment since 9-11. During the winter you can send chocolate. It is too cold for chocolate to melt. My wife sends chocolate covered peanut butter drops every Christmas. They arrive fine. Pack the cookies well in a sturdy box. She puts them in a disposable tupperware container inside a cardboard box. The biggest danger to the cookies is getting crushed. You will need to hurry as the Military Postal System is slow in good times and overloaded at Christmas. I think last week was the cutoff for "guaranteed" delivery to Afghanistan by Christmas. No one will care if the cookies arrive before or after Christmas. It is the kind thoughts that count. Thanks for supporting the troops and your cookies will make many great Americans happy.
The can looks indestructible.
Great idea. It would be better though if they were addressed to Any Soldier on one of the FOBs. Otherwise the care packages stack up at the HQs and rarely make it further. Case in point the conexes of Starbucks coffee sent to Iraq. They were dropped off at Camps Victory and Slayer (co-joined bases in Baghdad). Not complaining because I used their silver bag Espresso roast in my ADC coffee maker for over a year but I knew some FOBs would've appreciated the goods. Some FOBs didn't even have coffee in the local BX -if there was one.
Ok, read your post. Here's my $.02:
-Cookies and most moist foods get go in shipping.
-Beef jerky, venison jerky, etc. are good.
They eat quite well over there so gap fillers usually amount to little odds-and-ends the folks at the BX and Hadji-Mart didn't figure on.
-220 volt, multi-socket surge protector. The Hadji-mart models burn-out, catch fire, etc.
Then depending on their assignments
-Toe warmers
-Red dot for M16
-T-shirt from home town/state
-Thick, quality bath towel (not maroon or white -BX colors)
-Bathrobe for late night trips to the latrine.
-Extra Cushioned wool socks
-Leatherman if they don't already have one.
-Hand held GPS (don't worry about maps it can still take waypoints and provide distance and bearing info).
-Solar powered recharger for whatever gadget(s) they have.
-90% Isoproply rubbing alcohol or alcohol wipes for disinfectant since the BX won't stock anything 'alcohol' so as to not offend the ppl trying to kill them.
Most other essentials are at a BX.
being former Navy and received many care packages while deployed, I have one recommendation, date your package! received a valentine's package almost a year later. there were so many postal strikes that it was hard to figure out the shipped date

Like class actions, mass disaster litigation involve complex mixtures of transactional contracts, express and implied warranties, state and federal consumer protection, health and safety statutes and regulations, state of the art technology, complex questions of science, engineering, and medicine, and economic analyses. Technical disciplines span security and safety, product reliability, mechanical engineering, metallurgy, physics, hydraulics, electronics and electrical engineering, toxicology, pharmacology, epidemiology, injury mechanisms, and more. Legal issues involve federal statutory and decisional law on preemption, Federal Aviation Act, Food and Drug Act, the Class Action Fairness Act, the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act, and numerous state common and statutory laws applicable to security, health, safety, strict liability, warranty, unfair and deceptive practices, and fraud.
Campbell Trial Lawyers has been retained on a number of occasions to act on behalf of clients involved in mass disasters such as explosions, fires, bus rollovers, plane crashes and other large-scale events.
Campbell Trial Lawyers was retained shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks by US Airways and its lead insurer, Global Aerospace, to defend the company and its officers, directors, and employees in the 9/11 Commission investigation and the civil actions that followed the mass disaster. Read more about our involvement in the 9/11 litigation here.
Another example of our experience involved the Lafarge cement slag release in Charlestown in September of 2006. This slag release involved personal injury claims and lawsuits by more than 100 claimants, property damage claims for 332 new automobiles, many homes and businesses, hundreds of Boston school buses. We also handled the crisis management for the company: hiring a public relations firm, prepping the company spokes person for multiple press conferences on the night of the release and advising and representing the company with respect to the City of Boston, State and Federal government agency investigations into the release.

Aspirin may have a new anti-thrombotic rival
Functional ingredients firm Provexis has published the results of a new study providing further clinical evidence that its anti-thrombotic food ingredient could rival aspirin - without any side-effects.
Fruitflow is a tomato extract claimed to reduce the risk of blood clots, which can trigger heart attacks and strokes. It also has a significant advantage over many other 'functional' ingredients in that it has secured a coveted positive opinion from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) for its health claims.
Provexis is in talks with several big brands about incorporating Fruitflow into dietary supplements and functional foods and drinks, including Coca-Cola. It is also in discussions with a "major dairy brand owner" about using Fruitflow in other products after a tie-up with Unilever on spreads ground to a halt, said chief executive Stephen Moon.
In a stock exchange announcement, Provexis unveiled preliminary results of a human clinical trial comparing Fruitflow with aspirin. According to the results, Fruitflow had helped reduce platelet aggregation (part of the blood-clotting process that can cause heart attacks and strokes) by 28%. It did so through three different biological pathways, while aspirin showed up to 60% reduction in one of these pathways, but no effect on the other two.
The results were very encouraging, said Moon. "Aspirin is a drug that targets one specific platelet aggregation pathway, and is not recommended for use by the population at large for cardiovascular disease prevention partly due to its well known side-effects including gastric bleeding. In addition, a significant percentage of users show some resistance to its effects.
"The broader antiplatelet effect of Fruitflow reflects the company's aim to provide a daily dietary supplement with a significant effect on blood flow, but without suppressing platelet aggregation completely."
The trial compared the effects of Fruitflow and aspirin on a single dose basis over a five-hour time course. So far, around 40% of subjects have completed the trial, which will run until the end of the year. The trial is being carried out by Provexis at the Rowett Institute of Nutrition and Health, part of the University of Aberdeen, with independent statistical analysis by Biomathematics & Statistics Scotland.
The only difficulty was the issue of securing more consumer-friendly wording for the health claim about Fruitflow, said Moon. In its application to make a health claim, Provexis proposed that Fruitflow 'helps to maintain a healthy blood flow and benefits circulation'. However, EFSA argued that the phrase 'helps maintain normal platelet aggregation', better reflected the scientific evidence.
Under article five of the Nutrition and Health Claims Regulation, claims are only permitted "if the average consumer can be expected to understand the beneficial effects as expressed in the claim". That was obviously questionable in the case of platelet aggregation, said Moon. "EFSA's wording is too medical. The average consumer hasn't even heard of platelets."

FRANKFORT – Most new laws approved during the Kentucky General Assembly's 2017 regular session went into effect today.
The Kentucky Constitution specifies that new laws take effect 90 days after the adjournment of the legislature unless they have a special effective date, are general appropriations measures, or include an emergency clause that makes them effective immediately upon becoming law. Final adjournment of the 2017 Regular Session was on March 30, making June 29 the normal effective date for most bills.

My first time canning tomatillo salsa so I welcome suggestions. I am an experienced 'canner' so don't need help with that.
Planning to use tomatillos, white onion, garlic, serranos, cilantro, sugar and seasoning as required plus some lemon juice for acidification. .
Any suggestions? Thinking of adding some cumin, Mexican oregano. How coarse/fine to make it, I use a Roma food strainer and can do either?
I would like to roast the tomatillos but it ain't going to happen as there will be 20lb of them unless you have a very good reason why I should. I will roast the white onion and garlic.
