Israeli media reported Monday that Dr. Robert Rozett, the director of the libraries of the national Holocaust memorial Yad VaShem, had written a letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos in which he asked the U.S. based company to ban the sale of books that deny the Holocaust.
"It's been clear for many years now that Holocaust denial literature is freely available for purchase over Amazon. Many of the items appear with glowing readers' reviews and recommendations for further reading in the same vein," Rozett wrote to Bezos.
Rozett told The Jerusalem Post that in light of the recent upsurge of anti-Semitic attacks and threats in the United States it was time for Amazon "to take up the idea that they need to be more careful with what they sell."

"Once again, given the presence of anti-Semitism around the globe, which has become more prevalent in recent years, we strongly urge you to remove books that deny, distort and trivialize the Holocaust from your store," Rozett told Bezos.
"Holocaust denial and other forms of hate speech indisputably nurture prejudice and hate crimes," the Yad VaShem libraries director continued.
TRENDING: Meet the Man Who Lives Alone on Top of a 130-Foot Tall Rock
"Open discussion of ideas is certainly essential to pluralistic and democratic systems, but facilitating the spread of such hate-filled ideas is irresponsible, to say the least. As a major agent for the dissemination of ideas, it is incumbent upon Amazon, as it is also incumbent upon Internet providers in general, to act to curb the spread of hatred," Rozett concluded.
The Yad VaShem director told The Times of Israel that he had approached Amazon before on the same issue but the internet company insisted it would not halt the sale of books and other items that deny the Holocaust and encourage hatred and violence citing "freedom of information".

He has yet to receive an answer from Amazon.
The giant American internet retailer has been forced – by media publications and a public outcry – to remove Holocaust denying books and other material in countries where Holocaust denial is illegal, such as France and Germany.
In The U.S. and the United Kingdom, however, Holocaust denying books such as Did Six Million Really Die? by Richard Harwood; The Six Million: Fact or Fiction? and The Myth of the Extermination of the Jews, are still available at Amazon.com.
Yad VaShem's action against Amazon is supported by the British charity Campaign Against anti-Semitism.

Chairman Gideon Falter of CAM told The Independent that "every day, Amazon promotes a selection of literature advocating Holocaust denial and Jew hatred. Anybody searching Amazon for books about the Holocaust, including children working on school projects, will inevitably be shown Amazon's squalid cesspool of neo-Nazi titles."
The Sunday Times in the United Kingdom reported that a British customer who complained about the sale of Holocaust denying books at Amazon received an answer from the company saying, "If you feel this book constitutes hate speech and malicious lies, then please check out the other hundred thousand books we carry to find something you like. I hope this helps!"
Steven Goldstein, the CEO of the US-based Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect, is now calling for a boycott of Amazon until the company stops selling the Holocaust denying books everywhere.
"When Amazon sells Holocaust denial books and even offers readers an opportunity to 'borrow' Holocaust denial books on Amazon Kindle, Amazon is a repugnant accomplice to Holocaust denial and anti-Semitism of historic proportions," Goldstein wrote in a statement.
Advertisement - story continues below
"This makes Amazon a worldwide embarrassment to human decency. We call on everyone to stop shopping at Amazon until all divisions of Amazon in every part of the world stop selling Holocaust denial books and other works immediately," Goldstein added.
Holocaust denial and distorting the facts about the largest genocide in human history has become one of the most popular expressions of anti-Semitism since World War II. In the Middle East it is used to delegitimize the existence of Israel and to justify the continuing assault on the Jewish state.
Holocaust deniers ignore the overwhelming evidence of the horrific genocide and insist the Holocaust (Shoah in Hebrew) is a myth invented by the Allies that fought against Hitler to justify the occupation of Germany.
Others say the Jews invented the whole history to receive huge amounts of money restitution from Germany or to justify the establishment of the State of Israel.
In the United States, the Holocaust denial movement is primarily known for its publication of editorial-style advertisements in college campus newspapers. Some of these ads claim to call for "open debate on the Holocaust." They claim not to debate the fact of Nazi anti-Semitism, but merely whether this hatred resulted in an organized killing program.
It should be noted here that the editors of all private and most public college newspapers have a First Amendment right to exercise editorial control over which advertisements appear in their newspaper.

Great price, very happy with purchase
My purchase came fairly quickly, got exactly what I ordered, they did have a smell to them which did last for a couple of days, but did fade away. I am very happy with my luggage.
- How accurate was the sizing? sizing was great
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. the products seems to be of a good quality. I haven't used them yet though.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? when I first received them, they did have a "chemical" smell to them, but it does fade away

Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Threats to Wukong with this build
|Just watch his passive, don't go near when he is in Mega Gnar form. All the other time easy killable
|Survive until level 6 and then get fed
|Poke him and deny his ghouls with your Decoy
|Dodge Q, wait for lvl6 and go all-in
Hi, my name is WhatIsThisLOL and I am currently a Platinum V player, where I got myself into mostly playing with Wukong with this build. I have got 17/4 with monkey even in Platinum so I'm not sure until which division this build has ability to carry. In ranked play I have around 300 games with The Monkeyking in Season 4 and more or less the same amount in Season 3 in every role except ADC so I know him inside-out. The reason behind why I am making this guide is to show other players how to use Wukong more efficiently.
Here you can see my stats for Wukong in season 4 and note that this is counting around 20 games where I played as support - low CS and no kills. When I climbed from Silver to Platinum my winrate was around 75-80%.
Extra Attack Damage allows you to bully your laning oponent and is crucial for you in teamfights since you will be the guy who shuts down enemy carries.
You can switch Mana Regen glyphs for Magic Resist if you don't feel lack of mana in Wukong.
Why not armor quints? Your Decoy is your armor.
Crystalline Flask gives you the needed sustain.
Tiamat is a great choice for Wukong because of it's passive cleave and active crescent which allows you to shove lanes superfast combined with your Nimbus Strike.
Last Whisper gives you needed amount of Armor Penetration. I choose this as a second item over The Black Cleaver because Last Whisper works better in early skirmishes and there just isn't that much of a 4v4 and 5v5 teamfighting at this moment of game.
The Black Cleaver finishes your AD damage core and even though it's doesn't give the biggest AD out there it's passive reduces enemy armor for 25% when you do damage to them for at least 2-3 seconds and for Wukong who is an AoE beast it is a must have item.
Randuin's Omen is your best savior when you will be jumping on that poor enemy ADC because his Attack Speed will be reduced.
Guardian Angel is what I prefer because it revives me and allows me to clean up any enemy survivors or to go and shove some lanes
Pros / Cons
Skill combos
AA + Crushing Blow You have to master this because Crushing Blow resets your auto attack.
Nimbus Strike + AA + Crushing Blow and Decoy out if he wants to trade back. Standart poke for Wukong. If enemy has a stun, exclude AA to reduce the time window where he can stun you.
Crushing Blow + Cyclone Always use Q before your ult for armor penetration. The damage your ult does without Q drops for around 30%.
Decoy in to the fight, then Nimbus Strike + Crushing Blow + Cyclone enemy carry and when he is dead Flash to the nearest target.
Tips and tricks
- When fighting near enemy minions use Nimbus Strike to reposition yourself
- When using Decoy your clone faces direction where you were running
- When using Cyclone in lane don't forget to move behind enemy while they are in the air
- Pressing S makes you look like your clone, so you can trick your enemy running past you
- You can stop your Cyclone by pressing R again, sometimes it saves you
- Don't fear to use Cyclone speed buff to escape
- When hitting turret near enemy minions use Nimbus Strike onto them to get attack speed buff
- You can Nimbus Strike over thin walls, so if you know enemy is on the other side of wall you can place ward and Nimbus Strike to them.
Use it here:
Early game
Here you focus on farming to get Ravenous Hydra as soon as possible. Whenever enemy goes for minion hit him with AA + Crushing Blow. If you want to poke him down use Nimbus Strike + AA + Crushing Blow and Decoy out. If you can get a kill, go for it, but it is better to wait for your jungler to come. He needs money as well.
Mid game
Once you get Ravenous Hydra put enemy under kill pressure or make him recall, then take his turret. If you can't make him recall, just shove the lane and help your midlaner. After you get the first turret you should be able to buy Last Whisper. With this item on your hand you have to bully your enemy laner and shove him under his inner turret, after that go and help other lanes trying to catch enemy into 2v2 and 3v3 fights or help taking objectives. Keep roaming between your lane and midlane until you can buy The Black Cleaver and start your Randuin's Omen. Whenever enemy toplaner is helping other lanes or just isn't in a lane, punish him by taking massive amount of damage to the next turret.
Late game
This is the 5v5 teamfight time and it is simple for you because you are an anti-carry. Most of the time you don't want to initiate the fight, but if you can catch someone out of position, jump on them and punish. All the other time your job is to Decoy in to the fight, then Nimbus Strike + Crushing Blow + Cyclone enemy carry and when he is dead Flash to the nearest target. After Cyclone ends, pop your Decoy and reposition yourself depending on situation. You can also splitpush and surprise enemy backline Decoy to them from backside.
is a must have to reposition yourself in teamfights while doing Cyclone
is a must have to secure a kill in a laning phase or to be sure you finish off enemy ADC
is viable, but you won't get needed kill pressure in laning phase and you will no get enough respect from enemy
That's my time
This is it and I hope you like it. If you have any question (why no Trinity Force or anything) feel free to ask in comment sections. I hope my build helps you and we will see more monkeys in the Summoner's Rift.
P.S. If you see any mistakes or have any suggestions on what's missing, comment and I will update.
P.S.2 Champ match-ups might change with the time and my experience with some champs (like Poppy because I have faced her only once).

The stateliness and swaggering qualities of tenor saxophonist Ben Webster remained striking even late in his career. While he wasn't playing with the greatest band or at peak form, Webster still provided many memorable solos and moments on this date, which was reissued in 1989 on the French Esoldun label as part of their concert series. From the spry, spirited pace of "I Got Rhythm" to the moving ballads "Old Folks" and "My Romance," Webster demonstrated the allure and appeal of swing-era tenor. Although this wouldn't be an accurate starting point for anyone to begin evaluating Ben Webster's importance, it's well worth adding to your collection. ~ Ron Wynn

Winning at Chess
21st Century Edition
Why You Lose at Chess is vintage Reinfeld. He pulls no punches, showing the reader why he or she loses chess games. This is quite a remarkable feat when you think about it, because he never saw any of the games the vast majority of his readers played.
Why You Lose at Chess
The Chess Legacy of Jose Raul Capablanca
Last Lectures is, as the name suggests, a series of lectures given over the radio by former World Chess Champion José Raúl Capablanca just a few months before he died. While he was preparing these lectures, he dictated them to his wife, Olga Capablanca, who typed them. As a result, we have them today. Perhaps more than any other player in the history of chess, Jose Raoul Capablanca was noted for his ability to cut through the complexities of modern chess theory and find the winning line in grandmaster tournament play.
Last Lectures
21st Century Edition - From Beginning to Winning Chess
The Complete Chess Course is filled with advice on how to play better chess, regardless of how strong or weak a player you may be. It begins with the most fundamental ideas, reviewing the basic moves of the pieces and pawns, and continues with fantastic examples from the very best players. We are taken through a full course of chess strategy and tactics; he introduces us to the nine bad moves and how to refute them as well as how to avoid making them. We learn how to handle the white pieces and how to fight back with the black pieces.

Developing Preventive Thinking
This book consists of four chapters, all associated with the ability to think not only for yourself, but also for your opponent, to put yourself in his place. In this book, renowned author and chess trainer Mark Dvoretsky supplies the reader with high-quality material for independent training.
Recognizing Your Opponent's Resources
By Question and Answer
The master chess teacher Fred Reinfeld takes 16 great and instructivre master games This book is different from most others in that here Fred Reinfeld adopts a variety of the Socratic method. Instead of annotating the games by telling what each player did right or wrong, he asks you to answer the questions that arose in each game. After almost every move past the opening, Reinfeld asks you the reader the reasons for the move and often he asks you to provide the best response to the move.
Chess Mastery
The Second Edition of Another Dvoretsky Classic! It is very important for the practical player to train his or her ability, understand when to rely on intuition, rules of thumb and more general positional considerations, when to try to solve problems by calculating variations to the end and how to manage time to avoid time pressure. With these goals in mind, the second edition of Dvoretsky's Analytical Manual delivers excellent, high quality training materials and many exercises.
Dvoretsky's Analytical Manual - 2ND EDITION
21st Century Edition
Reinfeld's Masterpiece How to Play Chess like a Champion is Fred Reinfeld's sequel to his How to be a Winner at Chess and an absolute gem. In it the reader will find an exquisite blending of classic games, stories, insights, and instruction as only Reinfeld can put together. Rarely has an author succeeded so well as here, combining instruction, entertainment, and pure enjoyment. This new 21st-century edition is presented in modern algebraic notation in a double-column format, with many more diagrams. Throughout, the writing of Reinfeld, the master wordsmith and instructor, has been left intact. How to Play Chess like a Champion is among the very best introductory chess books ever produced, bar none, capturing the essence of good chess in a most readable, enjoyable, easy-to-grasp format.
How To Play Chess Like a Champion
This is essentially a book on chess history, showing how different styles of chess play became popular and flourished and then faded in popularity, such as for example the Hyper-Modern Style of play that became ''All the Rage'' in the 1920s and 1930s.
The Development of Chess Style
HAVE you ever wanted to play chess with the masters? Reinfeld shows you how. Now you can play against some of the world's greatest masters, in the privacy of your study with no annoying "kibitzers" around, and with no time limit to harry you!

Patsy 'Ma' Brumfield squawks at cost of lawsuit her group paid to initiate, bless her heart #42
State hires Wallace to battle 42
On hiring Wallace and paying him more than $60,000 in state funds, Gunn said, "Remember, the Legislature was sued. We had to defend ourselves because the attorney general refused to defend us. We won at the Supreme Court level, so we were proven to be correct in defending ourselves and incurring these expenditures."
Patsy Brumfield, a spokeswoman for 42 For Better Schools, said, "this $60,000 expense paid by the people of Mississippi is just the tip of the iceberg for the campaign to defeat adequate funding for our schools. That $60,000 is enough for two first-year teachers or 600 textbooks or 200 classroom computers for our schools."

|Pinky promise. Never forget.
This memorial website was created in memory of our precious daughter, Lydia Grace Shearman. She loved princesses, enjoyed gymnastics and was very outgoing...but more than anything she was kind. Her favorite food was chicken wings, she loved going to Grandma Bonnie's house to watch TV, she loved getting dressed up, swimming and drawing. She was a blessing to many people and loved to sing praises to Jesus. We will remember her forever.

I wish you would be blowing out 9 candles
I wish you were dressed in your favorite shiny dress
I wish your friends were joining you for your celebration
I WISH wishes came true
I wish you the Happiest Birthday in Heaven.
I wish to see you soon!"

"Jeff and Annette, I just read Jeff's Facebook post about the purple balloon that came to your yard yesterday. You don't often find balloons coming out of the sky. A purple balloon. In your yard. When you were both there.
I want to remember Lydia always. But I think that here God was saying He remembers you. So do I. In remembering Lydia I think of you too. Never forget we love you too."
"Thinking of you Lydia Grace...<3...Thinking of your Family...<3...May the Joy and Memories you shared provide Comfort and Peace...<3"
"Praying for you today to be comforted by the Lord, friends, and family. We miss having you close, but know we never stop thinking of you.
Much love,
The Kittel family."
"This is very beautiful. She is a precious little girl."
"Hi Annette and Jeff,
I think about you so much. I love you all.
Valerie Kittel"
"Happy Birthday Lydia. Thinking of you today and everyday. Forever missed and never forgotten."
"Dear Lydia--In heaven, but still in our hearts. We LOVE You and MISS You!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY...<3"
"Happy 8th Birthday Lydia. It's still hard to believe you are gone, but we will never forget you. You are loved forever."
""If ever there comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart, I will stay forever"
Think of you everyday!! Your smile, your amazing enthusiasm for life, your sweet heart and your beautiful eyes. Things will never be the same but we need to live life just like you. Kindness, love and a zest for life are great qualities to live by. Memories of you make me smile!! I hope we can keeping trying to smile and make you smile as you look down from heaven.
With Love Always,
The Kainarois"
"Dear Lydia, this marks the first anniversary of your presence with Jesus. I know you are beyond happy, but we are sad today missing your presence with us here. Loving my kiddos a little bit more today. Through this year, the light of Jesus you left behind has prompted me to more patience, and greater love for my family. You are a precious blessing. Praying your family receives great love and tenderness."
"Been thinking of this cutie all week. Can't believe it is a year ago today that you were taken from us to join our heavenly Father. Always in my heart and mind. Praying for your sweet family today and always. Miss you bunches. <3 <3 miss that sweet smile and giggle oh and you teasing us all. But I especially miss those hugs! ((((((Hugs))))))"
"Today it's been a year since you went to heaven. Sometimes, it seems like yesterday that you were at my house playing with Remi, and other times it seems like it's been forever since I've seen you! Today I was thinking about the journey you took to get here, to Johnstown, PA. Your mommy and daddy waited so long for you. The first time your mommy saw your picture, she fell in love with you and knew that you were made for their family! You fit in perfectly, like a missing puzzle piece! We don't understand God's plans all the time, but we know that God sent you here to touch so many peoples lives, and to bring people to him, and you are still doing that while you are in heaven! Everyone misses you soooo much, especially your family, but we know that we will see you again, and will spend eternity all together...forever!!! Love you! Kim"
"I have no words....God knows what's in my heart because I tell Him all the time. Will always love you, miss you and NEVER, EVER forget you! I "pinky promise"!!!"
"Can't believe that it has been one year since the "Tragic" Accident!!! Time has passed, but the hearts that Love You still Mourn...<3 As BEAUTIFUL as a child you were here on earth, I'm sure you are one BEAUTIFUL ANGEL looking down on those you love. The Sweet Memories you made here on Earth help us to deal with your loss. You will ALWAYS be with us in our hearts...<3"
"It's been 1 year since you've been gone, Lydia. We all miss you. R.I.P Lydia."
"Remembering this New Years Eve of sweet Lydia's first posts from China. And all our excitement to finally meet this little girl whom we prayed for with her family so often!
Thanking the Lord for those "firsts" we got to see her do and to just blessing the Lord for allowing us the privilege to know Miss Lydia.
We pray often for you all Jeff, Annette, and Zach. Knowing the Lord will strengthen and comfort each of your hearts this coming year.
We are missing her so much and too look forward to the day of seeing Lydia again before the presence of our Lord!!
What a day that will be!!
And all because of what Christ did for us all!!
We love you all!"
"Today was Lydia's Birthday. We lit lanterns tonight in memory of her life. I could hear her saying "its just like tangled" with her sweet voice and vibrant smile. She forever impacted our lives and the lives of my girls Reagan and Laurell. She will never be forgotten. We thank God for being able to be part of her life here on earth. She truly was a gift."
"Happy 7th Birthday Lydia. This is your first birthday in heaven and my mom just joined you. Even though we miss you dearly, I know we will see you again. Beautiful dedication service for the new wing at your church in your memory. You are forever loved and will never be forgotten. We love you!!!"
"Happy Birthday, dear Lydia! It's not the same without you here to celebrate your special day....but we felt your spirit as the Christian Education Wing was dedicated in your memory and honor today at Faith Chapel. I watched videos of you singing and was flooded by so many memories. You're with the One who created you and how awesome is that! I'm so honored to have spent these past few years with you....you have touched me in so many ways. Love you, friend, and will never, ever forget you. "Pinky Promise"!!!"
"Today, on your birthday, Lydia, we will celebrate your life and all that you mean to us, and all that you tought us. We miss you SO much, and love you SO much, and can't wait to be with you again!
We Love you! Ryan, Kim, Brady,
Calli, Cassi & your buddy Remi"
"Just wanted to say Happy Birthday Lydia. You are sadly missed, but forever in our hearts."
"This smart, bubbly, dancing, caring, loving, giving child came into our lives uniquely chosen......she left it the same way. I, for one, will never be the same. I love you and miss you so much, Lydia. I know that you're in the arms of your Heavenly Father looking down at us, grinning with that grin of yours. I can't wait to see you again and know that, because of your witness here on earth, others have come to know the Lord and you'll be there to meet us one day! I hope that you can't wait, because we sure can't!!!"
"While on earth, we don't always know why things happen. We do know that a SPECIAL LITTLE GIRL was given to Jeff and Annette Shearman. Lets not forget Big Brother Zachery. They Loved her and took such Good Care of her. Grandparents and other Family provided more Care and Love. This made Lydia Grace the "Beautiful Blessing" she was to all she met. Just a child, but she brought Joy, Happiness, and Love to all she came in contact with.....The Lord took her home. This had to be Tough!!! Knowing though that He is providing for her, hopefully gives you Peace. I pray that All the Special Memories you shared help you to deal with your loss. She is ALWAYS with you in your heart. <3"
"Lydia was one of the sweetest girls I've ever known and she was one of my daughter, Alyssabeth's, best friends. Lydia would come over 3-4 times a week and play with Alyssabeth while the mommies and daddies walked the track. Every day Alyssabeth would ask me if it was a walking day because she couldn't wait to play with Lydia. Alyssabeth would sit on the deep freezer in the garage so she could see down the street for their van. Sometimes she would sit there for half an hour because she couldn't wait to see her. Alyssabeth attended Sunday night clubs with Lydia and would always want to go play at least two hours before church started. Lydia was so special to her and she misses her like crazy (and so do I). We love you Lydia with all our hearts and can't wait to see you again some day."
"Jeff and Annette,
I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that I am praying for you all. May your memories of Lydia bring you joy and peace and know that someday you will be together again.
Take care
Susan Hambright (Kim Riek's sister)"
"We will NEVER forget Lydia. She was so full of joy and life. We were truly blessed to have known her and I'm sure she is asking Jesus a million questions! RIP, dear Lydia. We'll be seeing you again. You are so very loved. Thank you for being a part of our lives. Mike and Eileen Gray"
"Lydia will always hold a special place in my heart. If I had to describe her in a single word, it would be "LOVE". She loved everyone she met. She loved the way that Jesus told us all to love..
John 13:34-35 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
I remember meeting Lydia for the first time and my girls and I taught her how to do a somersault. I was amazed at how intelligent she was and how quickly she learned! My girls loved her and thought of her like a little sister. I was blessed to spend time with her and have memories of her when I watched her after school. She loved to play Barbies with Remi, get icecream from the ranger BEFORE we ate dinner, and loved to eat lots of pistachios! The memory I love the most is when she would walk in my house, she would run right to a photo album that I had and open it up to a picture of Ryan kissing me at the beach with the ocean in the backround. She would just stare at that picture forever, with a big smile on her face. She loved "LOVE".
I truly believe that God new that Lydia would only be on this earth for a short time, so He searched the whole world over for a family that would give this special little girl the most love, and would show her the love of Jesus, and that's why He picked the Shearman's to raise her. In the short time that she was here, she was loved by so many, and she loved so many.
Lydia, we love you and miss you so much! We will see you again someday in Heaven!
Kim Smith and Family"
"Ok really didn't know her but I always saw her when we had parent pick up and she would just play with everyone and be nice to the even though I didn't know her she was still like a friend rest in peace Lydia and your family are in prayers"
"I believe God put Lydia on earth to show all that goodness can be. She taught us the meaning of love and kindness. She was always happy, singing, dancing and telling her little stories that made us laugh. For someone her age it amazed me how giving and selfless she was. She would come to Cliptations and bring toys, books etc. she always shared them with other children, even showing them how the electronic games work. I have many memories of Lydia, but one favorite. A little girl was at the salon with her father. Lydia was trying so hard to make friends, but the girl was painfully shy. I told Lydia to try the lollipops that we have in a can for children. Lydia got a big grin, she took the can over to the girl, who practically crawled through her father. Lydia asked her if she'd like a lollipop. The girl started crying. Bless her heart, Lydia looked devastated and said to me "what did I do?" I walked around the desk and hugged her and explained that she didn't do anything. So she didn't give up, she gave the lollipop to the father and set one of her books there and told him maybe she'll like this book to read its one of my favorites. Then she came back to me and started singing and dancing as always. Before the shy little girl left she smiled at Lydia. So we both felt better. Keep them smiling up there, and keep shining little sunshine. Thank you for touching all of hearts with your beauty."
"My family and I will always remember Lydia and the joy she brought to us! On occasion she would come play with us after school, and when she was here our boys were so excited! I always commented to Annette how easy-going Lydia was when she played with us. Lydia lived like Jesus - and treated us all with love, patience, forgiveness, and touched the hearts of everyone she knew! We miss you Lydia and know you are spreading joy in heaven!"
"Hi Annette, Jeff, and Zach,
What a beautiful memorial page for your precious Lydia. Our family loves you so deeply. You are on our hearts and in our prayers. My words right now just cant express how we have mourned her loss and how much we long to be there for you.
Valerie Kittel"
"Lydia Grace Sherman is a special little lady to me. She was my little princess she was so beautiful and so full of love. Her mom and Gram Bonnie always told me Gina Gina you spoil Lydia so much. They were right I loved doing it. She was like my own. I enjoyed seeing her all the time. When ever it was my Birthday she always sang to me. When ever I was feeling down all I had to do was see Lydia and my day brightened up. I loved the passion and love that she had for the lord. She was always singing songs. She was the sweetest and most kind little girl. I can remember all the times I had with her and here FAMILY. I can remember going to football games to watch Zachary play and sitting with Lydia and her family I remember all the times at church from our ladies meeting and Christmas plays and songs performed. I always looked forward to those times. I can remember going out to there house to swim other for any other reason and Lydia always made you feel welcome and was so friendly and very helpful. I remember going to the pumpkin patch and sitting with her on the hay ride. Durring our Master Club at church she would always come knocking on the door at the end of here class and I always would say to Annette It's Lydia at the door. She always would take me over to the prize container and always want me yo give her something . She always knew I would give it to her. I Remember when we would go somewhere and Annette would drive Lydia would asked me sometimes to sit in the back with her and watch movies. Lydia is y special little girl she always will be. I pray and think about you everyday. Lydia was a great friend to my son PRESTON and she was like a little sister to my daughter Cheyann they both love you and miss you so much. My prayers and thoughts are always with Annette Jeff and! Zachary. Thank you for sharing this special little girl. With us. I promise you she will never be forgotten"
"Tuesday the 21st I was going to Cliptations to get my haircut. Jeff, Annette, Zack and Lydia were there. Jeff and Zack got their hair cut and left. Stephanie braided Lydia's hair and she looked so cute. After I was finished, I noticed that Annette was still getting her hair done. I decided to stick around and keep Lydia company. We were running around the salon, as I was trying to catch her. She had a cape around her neck , calling herself Super Lydia. She was so cute. After running around, causing commotion, Annette and Stephanie put me in a timeout. This will stay with me forever. Lydia called me "Jimmy Cottonball" when she saw me and I will never forget that. This is one of my memories of Lydia
that I wanted to share. She will be forever missed."
"What a blessing and joy it was to know Lydia Grace Shearman! She was so easy to love. It was love at first sight for so many, myself and my husband included. We have so many fond memories of her... Shoe box shopping and packing, she loved that! Snow tubing what awesome fun watching her. Junior church, her quietly listening to the stories answering the questions, her eyes lighting up when telling how Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose again so that we could go to heaven someday to live with Him. Her singing brought joy to so many! The way she said "Fred" when he teased her. The way she spun around in her beautiful dresses. Playing Bible games during Master Clubs, she was so smart and learned quickly. She amazed me how quickly she could put the Bible Sequence cards in order! She loved playing "Red Light, Green Light" . I can still see her smile and hear her laughter. She was kind to others, full of love, such a happy little girl. Remembering her as a toddler enjoying singing and requesting often "Victory inJesus" during song time and singing it for the first time on stage. I could go on and on. Lydia did a lot of living and loving in her short time here. She is so sadly missed and though we can't understand the "why's" we have the blessed hope of seeing her again and the comfort of knowing that Lydia is now with Jesus whom she loved. She is making Him smile and loving on Him just like she did to so many of us. Thank you Annette,Jeff and Zach for sharing her with us. We are all truly blessed having her as part of our lives. You are continually in our thoughts and prayers."
"I feel so thankful that I was privileged to know Lydia while she was here on earth. She is a very special girl. I remember watching her sing in church with the other kids. She always knew the motions and belted out the songs, encouraging the others to sing out. The last time we saw her we came to her house for a meeting with Annette, and she was so welcoming and did her best to help my very shy two-year-old feel at home. It is hard to know what to say, the words often don't fully do justice to someone like Lydia. I will not forget her and the joy that lit up her life."
"Lydia was the sweetest little girl I knew. Any time I saw her she had a big smile and just loved life. I love the story of when she gave her great Grandma's necklace to a friend who lost their grandmother. She once gave me a pin at my house because she wanted to give me a gift. She was a giver, kind and wanted everyone to be happy.
It's our great loss with her passing but her gain into heaven for eternity. Some day we will be together.
I kept asking Why, Lord. I just didn't understand. I wanted to share that in church at the funeral when Jeff spoke and asked, is there
anyone that hasn't accepted Jesus in their heart, would you pray along with me. At that moment, I felt a peace and said, Is this my answer? Could there be one person who said that prayer and hasn't accepted Jesus??
Only God knows the plans for our lives and sometimes we don't understand them. We have to trust in Him and never lose faith.
Lydia Grace, you will always be remembered, never forgotten and forever missed. You touched so many lives in so many ways.
Love you forever
Until we meet again!!!
Kim and Butch Riek"

A South Florida man may be the first U.S. employee to lose his job over methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus—a highly contagious and potentially lethal, drug-resistant bacterial infection also known as MRSA.
Outbreaks this past fall in school districts across the nation—and the death of an otherwise healthy high school football player in Virginia—put the MRSA problem in the news, although the bacteria has existed for decades. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said MRSA killed 19,000 Americans in 2005, more than died of AIDS that year.
Morris Yomtov, a 66-year-old retiree, took a job at the Miami-based IT firm CPT to help pay his property taxes. All was going well until he mentioned to his co-workers that he'd acquired a MRSA infection two years before while clearing brush after Hurricane Wilma.
An hour later, the owner told him to get out, saying, "You couldn't have had it two years ago because it didn't exist two years ago." Later Yomtov was told he could return to work only with a written note from his doctor saying he was not infected. Yomtov had his doctor write and call, but the company still refused to allow him to return to work.
Yomtov has filed an ADA complaint with the EEOC. But since CPT's concerns relate to worker safety rather than Yomtov's ability to perform his job, it's uncertain how he will fare under the ADA.

very nice pair. Just need to clear my closet. I loved this pair. I wear 7.5~8 US size.

A row of gems on the woven raffia vamp is stitched into a bow pattern to set this pump apart from the rest. Additional floral detailing and decorative edging, not to mention a gold-brushed metal heart plaque add the kind of unique touches you'd expect from Betsey Johnson. We love the pretty rosy graphics on this cool pump's outsole. The Jene Pump was made to pair with skirts, but we love to dress up jeans with it, too.

Lobotomy involves many sub-projects oriented to experimentation about new design for human-computer interaction and, more generally, a new way for home computing. It involves a relational filesystem, a window manager, and many libraries, tools, and daemons to automatically extract and handle metadata.
Karra is a flexible, Web-based, multi-lingual system for creating digital libraries of images, documents, URLs, and associated metadata. It could be used to archive and organise an organisation's photo collection, providing a historical record. It could be used in scientific study where images of particular items need to be stored with data or geographical information. Textual information can be included with each item, creating a valuable repository of data and providing a way to search for records later.
The Informa RSS Library provides a convenient Java API for handling news channels and metadata about them. Different syntax formats (like RSS 0.91, 1.0 [RDF], 2.0, and Atom 0.3) for feeds are supported. There is also basic support for channel information descriptions (OPML). A full-text engine (Lucene) can be used for indexing and searching the news items. Two backends for storing the data are currently provided: In-Memory and Hibernate (which allows you to persist news items into allmost any JDBC compliant database).
movemetafs is a searchable filesystem metadata store for Linux that lets users tag local files (including image, video, audio, and text files) by simply moving the files to a special folder using any file manager. It also lets users find files by tags using a boolean search query. The original files (and their names) are kept intact. movemetafs doesn't have its own user interface, but it is usable with any file manager.
PIVIAU is a PHP/MySQL Web based gallery for pictures, videos, and audio that supports tags and EXIF. Albums and pictures have searchable tag, country, city, place, date, subject, and author. An RSS feed is available for every seach you can do, or for recent pictures. There is an AJAX-powered slideshow. Pictures are resized using PHP GD image functions. Videos are viewable a la Google Video using a video flash player. Audio (WAV and MP3) is supported via the embed HTML tag. EXIF is supported via PHP exif functions to extract the picture date.
Expense report software.
Removes ID3v2 tags from MP3 files.

Rotabiome human volunteer
The role of the intestinal microbiome in enteric and systemic vaccine immune responses, tested in adult volunteers.
Primary Objective: to prospectively investigate the role of the gut microbiota in rotavirus vaccine immune response.
Secondary Objectives: To prospectively investigate the role of the gut microbiota in tetanus and pneumococcal vaccine immune responses.
Rotavirus (RV) is the leading cause of diarrhea-related death in children under five years of age, particularly in Africa and Asia. Rotavirus vaccines (RVV) have the potential to dramatically reduce rotavirus morbidity and mortality, however rotavirus vaccine efficacy is lowest in the poorest countries with the highest child mortality rate.
We hypothesize that differences in gut microbiome colonization, composition and diversity might be contributing to the diminished RVV efficacy observed in developing countries.
This study proposes using antibiotics to change the intestinal microbiome in healthy volunteers and evaluating the effect of differing microbiota on RVV immune responses.
To obtain a better mechanistic understanding of the relationship between the intestinal microbiota and vaccine immune responses, this study also proposes evaluating the effect of antibiotic microbiota manipulation on two well-studied and classic systemic vaccines: the tetanus vaccine and the pneumococcal vaccine (Pneumo23).

We can never know for sure where all the UFOs hide after being sighted flying around the sky. They simply disappear out of thin air and it makes us wonder.
Could they have escaped at the speed of light or almost as fast? Perhaps they phased into a different dimension? Or maybe entered a cloaking mode for the spaceship?
Many UFO hunters claim that aliens have their own bases build on our world and are hidding their technology and spacecrafts there.
The most probable location where UFO researchers assume that aliens could be hidding is in the Arctic regions.
To back it up, an image of an UFO hidding in the South Pole went viral. The UFO seems like a flying disc type and is half hidden inside a cavern. The object is supposely huge, more than 30 meters wide.
Could this be definite proof of UFOs hidding on Earth?

Tonight NBA fans won't sleep. The 70th regular season of the best basketball league in the world starts
One of the two halls where the league will be started is the United Center in Chicago. It is tonight when we will find out how one of the most famous sports teams in the world, the Chicago Bulls, will start their season.
PDF Download (32.1 kB)
Tonight NBA fans won't sleep a wink. At 1:00am (7:00pm in Chicago) the strongest and most famous basketball league in the world will return. The opening night will take place simultaneously in two halls. Atlanta Hawks will challenge Detroit Pistons in a home game and Chicago Bulls will play against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The second game seems to be a particularly promising, close game. The popular team of the Bulls will try to defeat the team led by the Cavaliers' star LeBron James. According to the bookies, the Chicago Bulls are a slight favourite.
This is a break-through season for the Poles following the games of the NBA - particulary the Chicago Bulls. For the first time ever, a company from Poland has become a partner of the team, which signed a 7-year-contract with the online currency exchange company Cinkciarz.pl.
Stable line-up and a new broom syndrome
This summer didn't shake things up too much for the Bulls. The only player who left is Nazr Mohammed, who played as a center. The transfer of Bobby Portis seems to be promising as during the pre-season games his performance was exceptionally good. This season, a new hope for the team is Jimmy Butler, who recently prolonged his contract by 5 years. Thanks to this, he will earn 90 mln PLN. The fans of the team from the Wind City are also counting on Pau Gasol. He was one of the most important players who helped Spain win the European Championship this September.
However, the great unknown is the shape of Derrick Rose. The popular point guard strives to return to his form from 2011, when he was titled MVP of the season. Additionally, on the first day of the pre-season games he was injured. The contusion proved to be very serious, but we should see the player during an opening night. Due to an eye-socket fracture, he will play wearing a special mask.
An interesting fact, the coach of the team has also changed. The former trainer, Tom Thibodeau was replaced by Fred Hoiberg. He assured fans that the team under his lead will play faster, more efficiently and more effectively. Will a new broom syndrome work? We'll find out tonight.

This book discusses various facets of acquiring and managing money, particularly those rarely recognized or considered. It also suggests easy activities to implement, and advice to parents, teachers, and those concerned with children.
Since parents are their children's first and most important educators, it's crucial for them to educate their children about money starting at a young age, Subaran says : When young people receive a solid financial grounding as they grow up and experience life, they will be spared anguish, financial disaster, or lost opportunities to better their financial success Included are examples from developed and developing countries, of engaging initiatives that are helping people overcome money problems. These touching real life examples offer insight into the lives of others and in particular their creativity, imagination and bold action to improve their lives.

How To Begin Overcoming Anxiety
The first time that you have a panic attack, it can be a very frightening experience. You may not like understand just why you are feeling the way that you are and just what triggered the fear and anxiety. Even though most people will suffer from anxiety, fear, and panic from time to time, there are some individuals who deal with these on a very regular basis, forcing them to change their life in order to avoid the symptoms. Overcoming anxiety can be a lifelong challenge for many people.
What Is The Definition Of Anxiety?
It is definitely normal to feel anxious in certain situations, such as going for a job interview or giving a speech, but that is a far cry from clinical anxiety. There are several different types of anxiety disorders which all manifest themselves in different ways. Because the definition of anxiety is so vague, you may want to take an online test to see if you are currently experiencing some of the many common symptoms of anxiety.
In general, if you are feeling tense, worried, or anxious on a regular basis or you have fears that are overwhelming or irrational, then you may suffer from anxiety disorder. Some people with this disorder will experience severe physical symptoms as a result of their anxiety, such as a racing heart, sweating, shaking, or a feeling of doom and fear that seemingly comes out of nowhere.
Why Do You Have Anxiety?
There are many reasons why people suffer from anxiety, and recent studies seem to show that this is both a genetic and socially driven disorder. If one or more of your parents suffered from an anxiety disorder, then you are certainly more likely to than other people. But, anxiety can be the result of stressful situations in your life, nutritional deficiencies, unbalanced hormones, or side effects of certain medications.
Although people with anxiety, panic, and stress-related disorders used to be considered somehow inferior from the rest of the population, is now known that these disorders are able to be treated and are developed through no fault of the patient.
Does Everyone Suffer From Anxiety?
Everyone will suffer from anxiety in certain situations, since this is the body's natural response to fear. We are hardwired to protect ourselves in certain situations and that is why we may begin to sweat, shake, or experience a rapid heart rate. But, when these symptoms take over the body and are not in line with the danger that we are really in, then overcoming anxiety symptoms is extremely important.
What many people do not realize is that even though a singular panic attack may be the result of an actual stressful situation, future panic attacks can develop that are more severe. In many cases, people start to develop panic attacks simply based on the fear of having panic attacks, creating a cycle that is difficult to get out of.
How Can You Begin Overcoming Anxiety?
There are a few things that you can do that may help to diminish the severity of your symptoms or prevent panic or anxiety attacks from returning altogether. These include eliminating tobacco, alcohol, and caffeine from your diet, getting proper sleep, and drinking more water. It goes without saying that a healthy diet, plenty of exercise, and a stress-free life may help you more than any medication, and there are no side effects to living healthier. Alternative therapies can be extremely useful for people who are searching to overcome anxiety, panic, and stress disorders.
What Is The Linden Method?
The Linden Method is a program that has been able to help tens of thousands of people all over the world to overcome feelings of panic, of session, and anxiety without the need for pharmaceutical or psychological treatments. Instead, this offers a much easier and more private method to stop anxiety disorders so that you can get on with a healthier and happier life.
When you order the Linden Method from the official website, you will get access to a variety of materials including CDs, DVDs, and the comprehensive Linden Method manual that will provide you with all of the information that you need to begin overcoming this very common problem.
Can This Program Help You?
One reason why so many people trust this program is because in addition to all of the advertise materials, there are also a number of free materials as well as unlimited, qualified email and telephone support. If you have questions about the materials, you can get help right away from people who truly care.
When compared to the expense of traditional psychiatric and psychological treatments for overcoming anxiety, the Linden Method is obviously a more sensible approach. Many people who have used this program have found an almost immediate reduction in their symptoms, allowing them to live a much happier and stress-free life.

Ill Fated Trailer (2004)
"Somewhere... anywhere... is better than nowhere" 15 September 2004 Drama, Comedy 96 mins
Mark A. Lewis's tragic-comic adventure ILL FATED plunges the viewer into the boxed-in world of Jimmy, a small-town teen who seeks a better life but who sees dead-end signs at every turn out of town. His vague plan to leave and "look into college" is complicated by a revolving door of small-town complications - the demands of his lumpen best friends, his troubled girlfriend, his promiscuous stepmother and cuckolded stepfather. But the biggest complication of all is the return of his womanizing biological dad Earl, who'd fled in Jimmy's infancy after impregnating the wife of a violent convict (also his best friend). Earl's return is a catalyst to disaster, and a palette for director Lewis to paint a hyper-realist picture of small-town dystopia.

Faith in Maintenance ~ Helping volunteers look after their historic places of worship better.
Faith in Maintenance was a 5-year project aimed at helping volunteers who care for historic places of worship by providing free training days to enable them to understand how their building works and how to solve problems caused by leaky gutters and blocked drains.
Funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and English Heritage and run by the SPAB, Faith in Maintenance delivered 150 courses between 2007 and 2012 throughout England and Wales for Anglican, Methodist, URC, Roman Catholic and Jewish groups.
We trained more than 5,000 volunteers at venues as diverse as Wesley's Chapel, London; the Friends' Meeting House, Lancaster; New West End Synagogue; and Leominster Priory. Participants in the Faith in Maintenance project represent the incredible variety of faith buildings ranging from Norman gems through to elaborate Victorian chapels and even churches of the mid-20th century.
Everyone who attended a Faith in Maintenance day received a copy of our 'Good Maintenance Guide' and a maintenance calendar and we also produced a monthly email bulletin.
The successor to the Faith in Maintenance project is our new Maintenance Co-operatives project. You can read more about the Maintenance Co-operative project on the new project website.
Thanks to some part funding from Historic England, we are still able to offer the award-winning Faith in Maintenance training programme to organisations on a bespoke basis. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com to find out more, or see our Education page.

NEW YORK — Squeezed into tighter and tighter spaces, airline passengers appear to be rebelling, taking their frustrations out on other fliers.
Three U.S. flights made unscheduled landings in the past eight days after passengers got into fights over the ability to recline their seats. Disputes over a tiny bit of personal space might seem petty, but for passengers whose knees are already banging into tray tables, every inch counts.
"Seats are getting closer together," says Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants, which represents 60,000 flight attendants at 19 airlines. "We have to de-escalate conflict all the time."
There are fights over overhead bin space, legroom and where to put winter coats.
"We haven't hit the end of it," Nelson said. "The conditions continue to march in a direction that will lead to more and more conflict."
Airlines are juggling terror warnings in Britain, the Ebola outbreak in Africa and an Icelandic volcano erupting and threatening to close down European airspace. Yet, the issue of disruptive passengers has captured the world's attention.
It's getting to the point where the preflight safety videos need an additional warning: Be nice to your neighbor.
The International Air Transport Association calls unruly passengers "an escalating problem," saying there was one incident for every 1,300 flights in the past three years. The trade group would not share detailed historical data to back up the assertion that this is a growing problem.
Today's flying experience is far from glamorous. Passengers wait in long lines for security screening, push and shove at the gate to be first on board, and then fight for the limited overhead bin space. They are already agitated by the time they arrive at their row and see how cramped it is.
To boost their profits, airlines have been adding more rows of seats to planes in the past few years.
United and Dallas-based Southwest both took away 1 inch from each row on certain jets to make room for six more seats. Fort Worth-based American is increasing the number of seats on its Boeing 737-800s from 150 to 160. Delta installed new, smaller toilets in its 737-900s, enabling it to squeeze in an extra four seats. And to make room for a first-class cabin with lie-flat beds on its transcontinental flights, JetBlue reduced the distance between coach seats by one inch.
Airlines say passengers won't notice because the seats are being redesigned to create a sense of more space. Southwest's seats have thinner seatback magazine pockets, Alaska Airlines shrank the size of tray tables, and United moved the magazine pocket, getting it away from passengers' knees.
But passengers aren't just losing legroom; they're losing elbow room.
Airlines sold 84 percent of their seats on domestic flights so far this year, up from 81 percent five years ago and 74 percent a decade ago, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. That means there are fewer and fewer empty middle seats on which passengers can spread out.
"Every summer, with the load factor, you're obviously going to see some tension out there," said Tom Hoban, spokesman for the Allied Pilots Association at American Airlines Group. "It's a long, hot summer."
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration logged 59 "enforcement actions" involving unruly passengers this year through June. Last year's total, which includes the busy summer season, was 167. The tally peaked at 330 in 2004, according to FAA reporting that dates to 1995.
"Oftentimes these are fueled by alcohol," said John Cox, a former commercial airline pilot who is chief executive officer of consultant Safety Operating Systems in Washington. "They're in a confined space, you don't have people reacting in a normal way. You have all the ingredients for inappropriate action and sometimes it happens."
The latest spate of passenger problems started Aug. 24, when a man on a United flight prevented the woman in front of him from reclining thanks to a $21.95 gadget called the Knee Defender. It attaches to a passenger's tray table and prevents the person in front from reclining. A flight attendant told the man to remove the device. He refused, and the passenger one row forward dumped a cup of water on him.
Three days later, on an American flight from Miami to Paris, two passengers got into a fight, again over a reclining seat, and the plane was diverted to Boston.
Then on Monday night, on a Delta flight from New York to West Palm Beach, Fla., a woman resting her head on a tray table got upset when the passenger in front of her reclined his seat, hitting her in the head. That plane was diverted to Jacksonville, Fla.
The passengers on both the United and Delta flights were already sitting in premium coach sections that have 4 inches of extra legroom.

Bruce Rock War MemorialPrint Page
Granite limestone tower with clock face on three sides was originally erected to commemorate those who served Australia during the First and Second World Wars. The names of those lost in action appear on the north and south sides. On the front of the memorial is a brass sword and plaques commemorating the fallen from all wars and conflicts since Sudan in 1885.
At a meeting of the Bruce Rock war memorial committee on the 24th January, the chairman (Mr. S. A. Brown) said that a permit for the construction of the memorial had been obtained and the contractors hoped to commence the work soon. They expected that sufficient progress would be made to have a stone-laying ceremony on Anzac Day. The memorial will be a clock tower of Donnybrook stone with a three-face clock. The total cost, including the clock and flood-lighting, is estimated at about £1,400, nearly £1,000 of which is in hand.
The West Australian (Perth), 26th January 1950.
In the presence of a big crowd the State president of the Returned Servicemen's League (Mr. T. .Sten) on Saturday unveiled the Bruce Rock district war memorial. The Director of Recruiting in W.A. (Sir Charles Latham), who also spoke, appealed to young men to join the services and so seek to prevent another world war. The service was conducted by the Rev. Dr. Bazeley, of Merredin, who offered up the dedication prayer.
