Madeleine Force Astor was born on June 19, 1893, in New York, New York. She married 47 year-old Colonel John Jacob Astor when she was 19. Their marriage made a public stir and they traveled abroad for their honeymoon. On their voyage home, John Jacob Asto
Early Life
Second wife of Colonel John Jacob Astor IV, socialite. Born Madeleine Talmadge Force on June 19, 1893, in New York, New York. Only in her late teens at the time, Madeleine Astor made quite a stir as the second wife of Colonel John Jacob Astor. The union was short-lived as the couple was torn apart by the Titanic disaster of 1912.
Madeleine's mother had hoped that she would marry well. To that end, she attended elite private schools for girls and learned to play tennis. During a visit to Bar Harbor, Maine, in 1910, she met John Jacob Astor IV, part of the legendary New York family. In his forties and recently divorced, John Jacob Astor took a liking to the young schoolgirl. That same year, Madeleine was formally introduced to society at her debut event in December. In addition to attending social events, she also involved with amateur theatrical productions.
The following year, Madeleine's father announced the engagement of his daughter to John Jacob Astor, which was not warmly received by some. There were concerns about their age difference—John Jacob was 47 and Madeleine was 19 at the time of their engagement. Class status also proved to be an issue. The Astor family was part of the well-established "old money" set while William H. Force was the head of a Brooklyn-based shipping and forwarding firm.
The couple faced many obstacles while trying to wed. According to the terms of his divorce, they could not marry in New York. Then the couple had difficulty locating a minister who would officiate. Finally, after offering $1,000 as a fee, John Jacob Astor got a pastor to perform the ceremony. The wedding took place at Beechwood, an Astor summer home, in Newport, Rhode Island, on September 9, 1911. After the ceremony, the newlywed Astors left on the steam yacht Noma.
The Titanic Disaster
To escape all of publicity surrounding their nuptials, the Astors went abroad for their honeymoon. They spent time in Egypt and Europe. With Madeleine pregnant with their first child, the couple decided to return to New York on the maiden voyage of the Titanic. They boarded the ship in Cherbourg, France, on April 10, with some of their servants and their dog, Kitty.
On the night of April 14, around 11:40 p.m., the Astors were in their suite of rooms when the Titanic struck an iceberg. After investigating the incident, John Jacob Astor had his wife get dressed and join other passengers waiting to get off the sinking vessel. Then he saw to it that Madeleine got on one of the lifeboats and then he helped other women and children get aboard. One of the world's richest men stayed behind and met his end when the Titanic sank in the early hours of April 15.
Madeleine Astor and the other survivors on Lifeboat 4 were rescued and taken aboard the Carpathia.

Written by Kerby Anderson
Kerby Anderson provides a concise, biblical worldview perspective on the important topic of spiritual warfare. Every Christian needs to understand that our battle is against spiritual forces not against other humans, who need Christ. He gives us practical advice on understanding our spiritual weapons and applying them to take on the forces of Satan in this world.
Lots of books have been written about spiritual warfare. Most of them share anecdotes and experiences of the authors or the people they to whom they have ministered. This week I merely want to answer the question, what is a biblical point of view on spiritual warfare? (For more information on this topic, see Kerby Anderson, A Biblical Point of View on Spiritual Warfare (Eugene, OR: Harvest House, 2009).
Spiritual warfare affects everyone. In fact, the day someone becomes a Christian, they are already involved in spiritual warfare. There is no place you can escape from this warfare. There are no "safe zones" or "secure bunkers" where you can hide.Sadly, many Christians do not even know there is a spiritual war taking place around them. They may even become a spiritual casualty and never understand what has happened to them.So many Christians have become mortally wounded in the spiritual conflict that takes place around them. They may be so emotionally spent or spiritually dead that they are essentially no longer of any use to God.
Others may have less serious wounds from this spiritual conflict, but are still affected by the battle. They still go about the Christian life but are not as effective as they could be because of the "battle scars" they carry with them.Jesus never promised that the Christian life would be easy. In fact, He actually warned us of the opposite. He says in John 16:33 that "in this world you will have trouble."Anyone who takes even a brief look at the history of Christianity knows that is true. Jesus was beaten and crucified. Most of the disciples died martyrs deaths. Millions of Christians were persecuted throughout history.
Christians today suffer persecution in many lands, and all of us wake up to a spiritual battle every day. That is why we need to be prepared for battle.
So where does this battle take place? Actually the Bible teaches that spiritual warfare takes place in various places in heaven and on earth.
First, we should remember that God dwells above in the heavens. Psalm 8:1 says that God has displayed His splendor above the heavens. Psalm 108:4-5 says God's lovingkindness is great above the heavens and that He is exalted above the heavens.
The Bible also talks about the battle in the heavens. When a passage in Scripture talks about heaven, it may be referring to one of three places: (1) The first heaven is what we would call the atmosphere, (2) The second heaven is where the angels fly and do battle (Revelation 12:4-12; 14:6-7), and (3) the third heaven is also called "Paradise" and is what Paul describes in 2 Corinthians 12: 2-4:
I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a man was caught up to the third heaven. And I know how such a man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows—was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak.
Spiritual warfare also takes place below the heavens and on earth. This occurs on the face of the earth (Genesis 6:1; Acts 17:26) where Satan prowls like a roaring lion (1 Peter 5:8). And it will also take place in hell and the bottomless pit (Revelation 9:1-2; 20:1-3) and at the Lake of Fire (Revelation 19:20; 20:10-15) where final judgment will take place.
Spiritual warfare is the spiritual battle that takes place in the unseen, supernatural dimension. Although it is unseen by humans, we can certainly feel its effects. And we are to battle against spiritual forces in a number of ways.
First, we need to realize that the weapons of this warfare are not human weapons fought in the flesh. Instead, they are spiritual weapons such as truth and righteousness that can tear down strongholds and philosophies that are in opposition to God.
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:3-5).
Second, the nature of this battle is different from an earthly battle. In Ephesians 6:12, Paul talks about the nature of this spiritual battle: "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness of this world, against spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places."
We can also have confidence because God "rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins" (Colossians 1:13).
Many Christians do not like the warfare imagery in the Bible, but that is how the spiritual life is described. We need to prepare for this spiritual battle even if we would like to ignore the battle for truth and error as well as the battle for life and death that is taking place around us.
Third, the Bible tells us that to prepare for battle. We must wear the right armor and have the right weapons, which include truth, righteousness, the gospel, faith, salvation, and prayer:
Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit (Ephesians 6:14-18a).
The Bible also calls upon us to be strong in the Lord. We should be steadfast in our resistance to the Devil. We do this by putting on the whole armor of God and resisting Satan. Ephesians 6:10-11 says, "Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand against the schemes of the devil."
One way to understand the nature of spiritual warfare is to consider the three Ws: our walk, our weapons, and our warfare.
First let's consider our walk. Paul says, "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh" (2 Corinthians 10:3). Our war is not an earthly one but a spiritual one. So even though we do walk in the flesh, our warfare is not fleshly.
We should understand that we didn't start this war but it has been going on long before we came on the scene. For a war to exist, there must be threat from those intend to harm others.
For the battle to be successful, those who are threatened must be willing to stand up and fight. Many wars have been lost because good people refused to fight. And many Christians believe that the reason Satan has been so successful in the world is because either (1) Christians have been unwilling to fight, or (2) Christians have not even been aware that there is a spiritual battle.
The second W is our weapons. Paul also teaches, "for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses" (2 Corinthians 10:4). One of the most important weapons of our warfare is the Word of God. Paul calls it the "Sword of the Spirit" (Ephesians 6:17).
We are also instructed to wear armor before we go into battle (Ephesians 6). We are to gird our loins with truth (vs. 14a). That means we need to define the truth, defend the truth, and spread the truth. We are also to wear the breastplate of righteousness (vs. 14b). That means we are to rely on the righteousness of Jesus and live holy and righteous lives. We are also to take up the shield of faith (vs. 16). When we have bold faith, we are able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of Satan. And we are to take the helmet of salvation (vs. 17). We need to be assured of our salvation and stand firm in that assurance.
The third W is our warfare. What is the goal of spiritual warfare? Paul says, "We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:5). We cannot fight this war with physical weapons because our targets are not physical. They are intellectual and spiritual. So we cannot fight them with guns or planes or bombs.
The word "speculations" (which is sometimes translated "imaginations") refers to the mind. It includes our thoughts and our reflections. So we should challenge the false ideas that Satan has encouraged in the world by countering unbiblical speculations and proclaiming God's truth.
How does spiritual warfare affect us?
When the New Testament uses the term "world," most of the time it is a translation from the word kosmos. Sometimes it can mean simply the planet earth (John 1:10; Acts 17:24). But when we talk about the influence of the world on our spiritual life and on our souls, we are talking about the worldly system in which we live. This world system involves culture and philosophy that is ultimately in opposition to God. That doesn't mean that everyone is evil or that the world's system is filled with nothing but error. But it does mean that the world can have a negative influence on our souls.
Paul warns not to be conformed to this world (Romans 12:1). He also warns us not to let our hearts and minds be taken captive to these false ideas: "See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ" (Colossians 2:8).
The Bible teaches that many temptations come from the world's system. We read in 1 John 2:15-16, "Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world."
The second influence is the flesh. Like our previous term, the word flesh can have different meanings. Sometimes it merely refers to our body: our flesh and bones (Luke 24:39; Acts 2:26). In this context, however, flesh is a second area of temptation and thus an important instrument of sin. We see this in the fact that we are born with a sin nature (Romans 7:14-24; 8:5-9). It is part of our bodies (Romans 7:25; 1 John 1:8-10) even after we have accepted Jesus Christ. But the good news is that its power over us has been broken (Romans 6:1-14) so that we can have victory over sin (Romans 8:1-4).
A third influence is the Devil. The ruler and mastermind behind the world's system is Satan. He can use the various distractions of the world's system to draw us into sin, temptation, and worldliness. We read in 1 John 2:15 that "If any one loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." So the Devil can use the world to turn our affections from God to the world.
Satan can also attack us through our flesh. He can entice our flesh with various temptations. We read in 1 John 2:16 that "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world." He can draw our attention away from God by manipulating the desires of the flesh.
The weapons of our warfare are spiritual because the battle we are fighting is spiritual. Paul clearly states this in Ephesians 6:12: "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." This is a spiritual battle that takes place in the heavenly places.
We should also realize that we are not warring against flesh and blood but against a spiritual enemy. So even though we might be tempted to think that people are our real enemy, our real enemy is Satan and his demons. People are merely pawns in the heavenly chess game being played out in our lives and in our world.
Paul tells us that "though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses" (2 Corinthians 10:3-4). So what are those weapons? It is interesting that Paul does not give a list to those who he is writing to in the church in Corinth. Therefore, we must assume that they were already aware of what those weapons are based on other letters Paul wrote to the various churches.
One obvious weapon is the weapon of truth. Believers are given insight into both the earthly realm and the heavenly realm because of what has been revealed in Scripture. We know what is behind the forces we wrestle with (Ephesians 6:12).
Another weapon is love. In fact, the Bible links truth with love ("speaking the truth in love" —Ephesians 4:15). Love is also a very powerful weapon in this spiritual warfare that we encounter. We should not approach people with anger or judgmentalism. But we must understand how important love is in dealing with others (1 Corinthians 13).
A third weapon is faith. Faith is defined as "the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1). Notice that faith is a conviction of things that are not seen. This is an important attribute since spiritual warfare is an invisible war. Faith is the recognition of this invisible world and the confidence that God is still in control.
And a very important weapon is prayer. We are told in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 to pray continually (some translations say to pray without ceasing). We are exhorted to pray about the circumstances we encounter and to use prayer as a weapon in our spiritual battle. When Paul talks about Christians putting on the armor to fight spiritual battles, he says that "with all prayer and petition" we are to "pray at all times in the Spirit" (Ephesians 6:18).

Sections of the Shi'a south have risen up against the U.S. occupation, and the occupying forces' response has been severe: massive attacks by U.S. helicopter gunships and hand-to-hand combat have led to the deaths and injuries of hundreds of Iraqis and a number of occupying troops. Just today, the U.S. military began urging civilians to leave Najaf, as it prepares to attack the Shrine of Ali and turn the city into a free fire zone where who knows how many civilians will be killed. The interim Iraqi government, rather than acting to protect the holy city of Najaf and its people, has sanctioned the U.S. actions. It has also dealt a massive blow to freedom by closing down the Baghdad office of Al Jazeera, one of the most important media outlets in the Arab world. These two issues are not unconnected -- Al Jazeera is often the only media outlet with journalists in Iraq's conflict zones, and without Al Jazeera's coverage we are unlikely to find out anytime soon what's really happening on the ground in Najaf or elsewhere in Iraq where fighting is ongoing. As if these developments are not bad enough, it was just revealed that the U.S. government has awarded another no-bid contract to CACI International Inc., the private company whose interrogators are implicated in the Abu Ghraib torture scandal. TAKE ACTION The violence and chaos in Iraq are out of control, and no one is being held accountable. Although the U.S. military is still in power in Iraq, we must also call to task the new Iraqi interim government, for its failure to protect the Iraqi people and its attack on freedom of the press. PLEASE CALL, FAX, EMAIL OR PROTEST AT THE IRAQI EMBASSY IN WASHINGTON, DC. TELL THE AMBASSADOR: 1. Stop the attack on Najaf. The new Iraqi government must urge the U.S. military and the Mahdi Army to negotiate a new ceasefire and pursue a peaceful resolution to the standoff in Najaf that is bound to take more and more innocent lives. 2. Reverse the decision to censor Al Jazeera and immediately allow Al-Jazeera's staff to conduct their professional duties without further interference. 3. Refuse to allow CACI International Inc. to operate in Iraq. CONTACT: Ambassador Rend Al Raheem IN WASHINGTON, DC, PROTEST AT THE IRAQI EMBASSY MORE INFORMATION For up-to-date information about what's going on in Iraq, see the Occupation Watch website, www.occupationwatch.org. |

Social Psychology and Human Nature
by Brad J. Bushman Roy F. BaumeisterThe material discussed in this book is intensely relevant to your life. For example, how many of you have asked yourself something along these lines: How can I get him to go along with my plan? Should I ask her right up front to do this big favor, or is there a better way to get her to say yes? How can I bring them around to my way of thinking? Chances are, something in this book will prove helpful to you in the future. This is not to say that social psychology is a cookbook for how to manipulate people. But social psychology can help you understand basic principles of social influence, as well as many other principles of social behavior.

Among them are three that I took, I believe it was in 1949, when I stopped at White's Corner and took pictures in all four directions, toward Main, Merrimack, Water and Bridge streets - which now leads to the Basiliere Bridge.
The scenes are of simply a moment in the history of the city, because none of the buildings that were there then are still there. And that includes the now-famous and, perhaps, even notorious Woolworth Building.
The pictures that I took are so clear (hard to beat those big old press cameras) that another patient of Dr. Kimball was able to find herself standing on a corner, holding her folded coat and waiting for the light to change, in front of Izzy Ash's Manhattan Shop clothing store. However, all that aside, the pictures bring to me recollections of downtown Haverhill when it was at its busiest.
Going to downtown Haverhill, meaning Merrimack Street, was as much a social event as a business one. Part of the reason for that was the presence of the high school, about three blocks away. As soon as school was out in the afternoon, many students surged toward Merrimack Street, to shop, to work or to socialize. For me, it was the latter.
It wasn't only high school students who flocked there, however. There were all kinds of things to attract people of all ages. The Woolworth store was one of those reasons, long before that art deco building (which is still there) went up at White's Corner.
Mitchell's department store brought shoppers from all around this part of the state, and many from southern New Hampshire as well. In my case, though, it was a matter of joining the rest of my "crowd" from school and hanging out to listen to jukebox music and just plain loaf around.
For many, however, it was simply the presence of many neighbors, friends and visitors that made downtown a lively, thriving, social place.
Hard to believe today, but there were so many people shopping in downtown Haverhill on Saturdays the police department sent five men to help the pedestrians crossing Merrimack Street in both directions.
Would we like to see that happen again? Of course. Can we expect that? Maybe. Conditions and people and circumstances change, and there is no going back to some things and places.
But there are new and vital things happening, and the way they are going has us seeing things move backward, compared to a generation ago.
Historically, Haverhill has grown westward from Water Street, but now it could be surging back from Washington Street.
Restaurants and boutiques and art centers are becoming increasingly attractive and busy, and there are indications the historic district is moving back toward the "old" downtown.
We have our own "surge" in Haverhill as the downtown population grows and expands beyond its red brick walls. And where does it go? Back toward Washington Square and Essex Street and other places on the fringe. When the new parking garage is built on Moulton Way, beside the railroad tracks and the busy square, people will be doing even more circulating and, one hopes, shopping in that neighborhood.
The Essex Street Grill restaurant is reported to be doing well, Maria's restaurant is welcoming a new function room and much work has gone into the changes being made in the Asian-style restaurant in the former Hotel Whittier, so things are happening as part of our own "surge," and we can look forward to more of the same.
We will never have a high school crowd downtown again, and that is regrettable, because that built up a downtown-going habit for many residents.
I am sorry a business proposal prepared by the Greater Haverhill Foundation fell through at the last minute, because I heard there were big plans that were shot down at the last minute, just as they were getting ready to rebuild that whole White's Corner area. However, there is bound to be something new in that part of town, and the sooner the better.
I have had the highest regard for the Foundation since its inception, when it helped rescue the city from utter destruction. Let's all back its efforts, in company with Team Haverhill, to return the inner city to its vibrant and active nature. It, and we, deserve that much.
Barney Gallagher has covered Haverhill since 1936 as a reporter, editor and columnist.

The Alpha Psi Omega Chapter is the American National Theatre Honors Society/Fraternity. The organization was originally founded at Fairmount College, West Virginia in 1925 by Prof. Paul F. Opp.
Membership in Alpha Psi Omega is usually based on a point system and credentials, but has also been known to grant membership based on merit and activity within the theatre. The organization aims to support the theatre activity within the institution in which it is created.
The University of West Florida's Chapter (or Cast, as they are commonly known), Omicron Theta (OQ) holds a vision quite similar to that of the society as a whole. The Cast aims to model itself based on these principles:
The student-run organization strives to strengthen the presence of the UWF Theatre Department on campus, and community by serving as a more direct and accessible contact to promote sponsorship and participation. The chapter is currently undergoing reactivation and preparation throughout the spring. The chapter will be fully active in the fall semester of 2007. A pledge class will be inducted in the late spring of 2007.

Outlook, Outlook Express and Eudora among others have plug-ins that clumsily support PGP digital signing and encryption.
Outlook, Outlook Express and Netscape's e-mail can do S/MIME (Secure Multipurpose Internet Mail Exchange) encrypted emails. Unfortunately Eudora still does not do S/MIME. Perhaps if enough people complain, the Eudora developers will stop fooling around decorating messages with chilli peppers and get on with the bread and butter issues. software,
Because of the problem of requiring consensus for all sender and receiver email evolution has been extremely slow.
There are several mail protocols. The most common are SMTP to send mail and POP3 and to receive it.
To send email from a Java servlet, you usually would use JavaMail. Simple applications might use a home brew SMTP or JavaMail.
Applets are problematic. The mail server must be the one running on the same server as the Applet. You might use JavaMail or a home brew SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) to talk to it. Unsigned Applets may not talk to any other server than the one it was loaded from.
SMTP is a mess when it comes to authorisation. Who is allowed to use the server? SMTP does not have a proper authentication method, just a bunch of ad hoc kludges. JavaMail does not get you off the hook. It has to use SMTP underneath.
To the mail server, send mail requests coming in from your Applet look like requests from the untamed wild world. It does not know your well behaved Applet is generating them. They will likely be refused, Further, your Applet could have been hacked by spammers.
Logically such requests should go to the user's favourite mail server, where he will be welcome. However, even if you knew the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of his mail server, you could not talk to it without the hassle of Applet signing.
So what to do?
The official standard RFC 5322 says that you can create an email
address of words (possibly joined together by dots), so long as you avoid the control characters 0..31, space,
A-Z +-=!#$%^&*~`?|/ are in theory all valid, though I would avoid all of them but
-. Email addresses are case-insensitive.
In addition, quoted strings, (possibly joined by dots) are also valid. A quoted-string is any sequence of characters (0-127) except quote (), backslash (\), and CR (13), surrounded by quotes (). Even the three excepted characters can appear in a quoted-string if they are individually escaped with backslash. Anyone using a quotedstring style email address obviously does not want mail from the general public.

68 Washington Irving. No tone enslaved in silvery string Or sense-enraptured voice is heard To match thy melodies, or sing A challenge to thy minstrel bird. Here sovereign Nature teaches rest; The quiet mosses on the stone Weave o'er its silent, flinty breast An emerald softness all their own. The pebbly sands along thy shore Lie mutely lulled by babbling waves ; The fringed fern and gentian flower On thy low margin make their graves; And through thy valley's dusky shade In ceaseless murmurings, ages long, Shall mingle with the flowers that fade Thy endless infancy of song. O waters of Pocantico ! Wild rivulet of wood and glen ! May thy glad laughters, sweet and low, Long, long outlive the sighs of men ! Later in the season we followed the windings of this stream through forest-clothed valleys and green meadow-lands into the upper Sleepy Hollow valley. Our artist had selected a day for his work when the golden haze of an autumnal afternoon hung over the ripening harvest fields, and bathed the distant hills in a soft luminous glory. The same " drowsy dreamy influence seemed to hang over the land " which Irving describes as pervading the valley when he wandered through it as a boy on his squirrel-hunting expeditions, or explored its nooks and corners in company with his old friend the historian, Diedrich Knickerbocker. At the upper end of the valley stands the ruins of Carl's mill—the old goblin-lookinor structure—where the his- o o torian found his greatest treasure in the person of an old negro, who furnished him with the material out of which he wove the charming Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

to remove excess salt from their bodies. Its commonly called snalting. Make sure you dont confuse this with a sign of a cold.TreatmentIf you catch your iguanas cold early enough,
Hermes Belt
, you may be able to treat it effectively at home. Since it was probably brought on by inadequate temperatures,
Hermes Purse
, you should try raising the temperature in his enclosure. If he doesnt seem better in a few days,
Hermes Outlet
, you should take him to a vet. The veterinarian will have to take a sample from your iggie and have it analyzed at the lab. This will help determine which type of bacteria is causing the problem so the proper medication can be prescribed.PreventionYou should always make sure that the temperature in your iguanas enclosure is at a proper level. Therefore, you need to invest in a quality thermostat. Youll also need to keep an eye on the humidity level, so a humidistat is also useful.
标题: Owner's Guide To Mouth Rot In Iguanas
内容: Mouth rot in iguanas is also known as stomatitis. This condition is characterized by inflammation of the mouth. This usually causes swelling and bleeding of the oral tissues. So, what exactly causes stomatitis in iguanasCausesMost reptiles develop mouth rot because of stress, which weakens their immune system and opens them up to infection. This stress can be because of improper temperatures, lighting, or an infection or parasites. The condition can also occur is your lizard is fed an improper diet, especially one deficient in vitamin C. Besides bacteria, viruses and fungi can also cause this condition. SignsIn its earliest stages,
Hermes Birkin
, stomatitis causes swelling of the mouth and excessive salivation. As the disease progresses, the swelling increases and the gums begin to bleed. If nothing is done about it, the swelling can eventually get so bad that your iguana wont be able to close his mouth.Mouth rot in iguanas can cause many problems if left untreated. Your reptile may experience frequent eye infections and permanent tooth loss. If a bacterial infection is the underlying cause, it may travel to the lungs and cause pneumonia.DiagnosisIts important that the veterinarian determines the exact bacterium of this condition. He will need to take a biopsy or swab of the mouth. Some types of bacterium are resistant to certain medications. If a specific type isnt identified, any prescribed medication may not get rid of the infection.TreatmentFortunately, mouth rot in iguanas is relatively easy to cure when caught early enough. First, pus will need to be cleaned out of the mouth. Fluids, vitamins, and food will also probably need to be provided. Your iguana will then need to take a course of antibiotics to clear the infection.However,
Hermes Birkin Bag
, all cases of stomatitis arent so easy to treat. If the condition has already progressed, the tissues of the mouth may be damaged quite bad. Your iguana may need to undergo surgery to repair the problem.
标题: Owner's Guide To Iguana Paralysis
内容: Paralysis in iguanas is a very serious condition. While some iguanas may be paralyzed permanently, sometimes the condition is reversible. So,
Hermes Bag
, what exactly causes iguana paralysisCausesYour iguana can become paralyzed for various reasons. The most common cause of this condition is metabolic bone disease. It can also occur if you keep your iguana in an improper environment or feed him a bad diet. Injuries,
Hermes Belt
, lesions,
Hermes Purse
, or tumors involving the spinal cord can also result in paralysis.SignsIf this condition occurs because of metabolic bone disease,
Hermes Bags
, you will notice a variety of signs before your iguana actually becomes paralyzed. These warning signs include loss of appetite, twitching,

, and swollen lower jaws. Once paralyzed, your iguana will be unable to move. He wont even be able to defecate or urinate by himself.DiagnosisIf you suspect that your iguana is paralyzed, its important that you take him to a vet a相关的主题文章:

750ml cork&cage tasted blindly in Blind BIF #8. Poured into Crooked Stave snifter.
Appearance: The beautiful darkish brown color of a Belgian Strong Dark comes crashing down into the glass to leave a full finger of light beige head. Spotted lacing.
Smell: Fig/grape, a bit of cherry. Very fruity. Sweet malt (candy sugar?), and a bit of funk hiding in there.
Taste: Very complex. Dark fruits, belgian yeast, and indeed a hint of brett that I thought I smelled. Definitely an oak presence on the backend with a slight bit of alcohol heat. I can't tell if it's plain oak barrel and heat from the high alcohol, or some form of liquor barrel aging. Going to guess a wine barrel here - in fact I swear I taste wine tannins as the beer warms.
Mouthfeel: Full bodied and sticky. Carb level a bit on the high side, but not distractingly so.
Drinkability: A slow sipper. There is a lot going on here, and it's a beer you'll want to enjoy over the course of a variety of temperatures.
Overall: I'm not entirely sure what this beer is, but I like it quite a bit, and would seek it out again. Outside the box of your typical Belgian Strong Dark ale, which is my favorite style.

Three massage parlors, two of them local, are being investigated by the FBI.
The allegation is that customers are paying for more than just a massage.
An FBI affidavit shows the parlors in Cleveland, Findlay and Toledo were raided on Wednesday. The FBI says it found evidence of human trafficking and prostitution.
The Toledo parlor is Top Relax Massage on Reynolds Road in the Diamond Plaza near Glendale Avenue.
Graphic details in the affidavit say customers at the three parlors would undress and get under a sheet. Female Asian employees who did not speak English would touch the male customers in a sexual way.
The affidavit goes on to say FBI sources confirmed the activity during visits in July and August.
In the Wednesday raids, visas, passports and employment records were seized, confirming evidence of prostitution and trafficking. Top Relax Massage remained open for business Thursday night.
Toledo News Now talked to Bradley Bohnert, who says his wife owns the three parlors. Mr. Bohnert admits there's been illicit sexual activity in the parlors, claiming he and his wife have no control over what happens behind closed doors, but when they find out, the masseuse involved is fired.
Bohnert says he is sorry for what happened and says Top Relax Massage is not involved in any illegal activity anymore.
No charges have been filed in the case. The FBI did not return a call from Toledo News Now for comment.

HOUSTON (AP) — The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has ruled that a convicted killer with a history of mental illness cannot be forcibly medicated for the purpose of making him competent for execution.
The court ruled Wednesday in favor of 51-year-old death row inmate Steven Staley, who was convicted for the 1989 shooting death of a Fort Worth restaurant manager during a botched robbery.
The same court in May 2012 granted a reprieve for Staley two days before he was scheduled to die by lethal injection.
Prosecutors have argued Staley is competent for execution, but his attorneys have countered that this was accomplished only because a state judge in Fort Worth improperly ordered Staley be given drugs to make him competent so the state of Texas could kill him.

सरकार[सम्पादन गर्ने]
संघीय सरकार is set up by the Constitution. There are three branches of government. They are the executive branch, the legislative branch, र the judicial branch. State governments work very much like the federal government.
कार्यकारीणी विभाग[सम्पादन गर्ने]
The executive branch is the part of the सरकार that enforces the law. Members of the U.S. Electoral College elect a President who is the leader of the executive branch, as well as the leader of the Armed Forces. The President decides whether or not the bills that the Legislative branch passes will become laws. He may also make "executive orders" to make sure people follow the law. Two famous executive orders were when Abraham Lincoln made the Emancipation Proclamation, र when Dwight D. Eisenhower ordered 1,200 soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division to allow the Little Rock Nine into school. The President is in charge of many departments that control all of the different parts of the government. For example, Department of Commerce makes rules about trade र business. The President chooses heads of departments, र judges at the federal (nation-wide) level. However, the Senate, part of the legislative branch, must agree with all of the people he chooses. The President may serve two 4-year terms, or up to 10 years if he takes over in the middle of another President's term.
व्यवस्थापिकिय विभाग[सम्पादन गर्ने]
The legislative branch is the part of the सरकार that makes laws. The legislative branch is made up of Congress. Congress is divided into two "houses".
One house is the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives is made up of Representatives, who are each elected by voters from their own state. The number of Representatives a state has is based on how many people live there: the more people a state has, the more representatives it gets. Representatives serve 2-year terms. The total number of representatives today is kept at 435.
The other house is the Senate. In the Senate, each state is represented equally, by two Senators. Before the President makes treaties or appoints officials, the Senate must approve them. Senators serve 6-year terms.
Representatives र Senators suggest laws in Congress, then vote on them. These are called "bills". If one house agrees to a bill, it gets sent to the other; if both houses vote for it, it is then sent to the President, to agree to it or not.
न्यायिक विभाग[सम्पादन गर्ने]
The judicial branch is the part of सरकार that interprets what the law means. The judicial branch is made up of the Supreme Court र many lower courts. If the Supreme Court decides that a law is not allowed by the Constitution, then it is not a law anymore. The Supreme Court is made up of 9 judges, called Justices. The head of the Supreme Court is called the Chief Justice. A Supreme Court Justice serves until he or she either dies, or retires. When that happens, the President chooses someone to be a new Justice, to replace the one who left. If the Senate agrees with that choice, the person becomes a Justice. If the Senate does not agree with the President's choice, then the President has to nominate someone else.
इतिहास[सम्पादन गर्ने]
The place now called "the United States" has been lived in since prehistoric times by Native American tribes. In about 1607, the British founded colonies in the eastern part of today's United States of America. The Europeans brought diseases, like smallpox, that killed many Native Americans because the natives had never been exposed to these diseases before, while the Europeans had been used to them for a very long time. Also, the colonists wanted the land the natives lived on for thousands of years. They killed most of the Native Americans that were left, or forced them to leave most of the land where they lived, though in a very few cases, they did buy land from them.
After a while, the colonists who settled in the British colonies did not like being ruled from Britain. By 1775, the colonists had decided to fight the British soldiers who were sent to control them, र on July 4, 1776, people from 13 colonies signed the United States Declaration of Independence. This said from that point on, they were free र independent states. Britain tried to recapture the colonies in the American War of Independence, but they failed.
During the American Revolution र right after it, the United States was much more loosely organized than it is today. Each state had more power than the United States as a whole. In other words, the सरकार was not centralized. That सरकार structure was set in 1781. The paper outlining that सरकार is called the Articles of Confederation.
After a time, the United States wanted a stronger government. So in 1789, a constitution was written. The Constitution is a document that says how the सरकार works. Very soon after, the Bill of Rights was added. This was a set of 10 changes, or amendments, that limited the government's power र guaranteed rights to the citizens. The US Constitution has been changed र added to many times since then. The main idea is that the सरकार is a representative democracy elected by the people, who all have the same rights. However, this was not true at first, when only white males who owned property could vote. This was only changed after the American Civil War, by the 13th, 14th, 15th, र 19th amendments.
The United States was mostly farm land before the industrial revolution around the mid 19th century. Many new states were added to the original 13, as the nation grew.
The Civil War lasted from 1861 until 1865. Several states in the southern part of the United States wanted to break away र start a different country. They disagreed with the other states about policies like slavery in the new territories, र how much power the states should have to make their own laws. The national सरकार (which was made up of the states that remained, all of which were in the northern part of the United States) won the war. Because of the war, slavery ended in the United States.
After the Civil War, there were more problems in the west between the white settlers र the native Indians as more people began to move west. Because of this, many more Indians were killed.
सन १९०० पछि[सम्पादन गर्ने]
In the 20th century, the US had more contact with other countries. In 1917, the US got involved in World War I र helped quickly defeat Germany र its allies. After World War I, the United States was the world's second richest र most powerful country.
The Great Depression happened in the early 1930s, when a lot of people could not find a job. There were a lot of reasons for the Great Depression, but one of the main things that made it come as quickly as it did was the stock market crash of 1929, in which a lot of people lost a lot of money in a very short amount of time. Some people lost all their money in only a few days, since the stocks they had bought in the years leading up to it, were now worth almost nothing.
Later, the US was involved in World War II, र was र important part of several other wars र military activities, including:
- The Korean War
- The Vietnam War
- Secret bombings of Civilians in Cambodia (1968-1970)
- The Cold War
- The Somali Civil War
- The 1993-1995 Haitian Conflict (Operation Uphold Democracy)
- The assasination of an Al-Quaeda Leader in Yemen (2002)
- Troops sent to Georgia र Djibouti in 2003 to "help stop terrorism.
The United States has also invaded, intervened in, or occupied Latin American countries more than a hundred times since the United States became independent, the most notable invasion being the Mexican-American War.
In 1991, the US led other countries in what it calls the Persian Gulf War, after Iraq invaded Kuwait.
On September 11, 2001, the United States was struck by a major terrorist attack. About 3,000 people died. Terrorists took control of four airplanes, in what is called a hijacking. They crashed all four of the planes on purpose.
Two of the planes crashed into the World Trade Center, a pair of skyscrapers in New York City. One plane crashed into the Pentagon, the main office for the U.S. military, in Virginia. The fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania after the passengers fought back.
Most of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia र thought the US army had no business being in Saudi Arabia, because they thought it was holy ground where only Muslims should be. A group called Al Qaeda, led by Osama bin Laden, admitted they were behind these attacks, र they were based in Afghanistan, where they were supported by the Taliban Afghan government.
The attack led to big changes. The United States सरकार responded by going to war against Afghanistan र driving out the Taliban. After that, it went to war against Iraq. The Iraq war was against the will of the majority of the world, because the Iraqi सरकार was never involved with Afghanistan. The war caused massive demonstrations all over the world.
Immigrants from many nations now live in United States. Today's immigrants are mostly people from Latin America (especially Mexico) र Asia, with smaller groups of people from Europe र Africa.
राजनीति[सम्पादन गर्ने]
The United States of America consists of 50 states with 'limited autonomy.' This means that states can make laws about things inside the state, but if the national सरकार makes laws that say different things, the law the state made is not a law any more, र people only have to follow the national law. Each state has a constitution of its own, different from the federal (national) Constitution. Each one of these is like the federal Constitution, but they only talk about how each state's सरकार is set up.
The federal र state सरकार is dominated today by two groups of politicians (called political parties): the Republicans (who are usually more conservative) र the Democrats (who are usually more liberal), although other people can sometimes be elected too. These two parties get support from different people र businesses, who give money to the parties. This means that elections can cost a lot of money. In return, parties will sometimes pass laws that help the people who gave them money. This is a problem in American politics.
Right now, the President is Republican, but in the mid-term election, the Democrat's took control of Congress, which means that neither party has enough votes to decide what direction the country's policies will go.
The USA's large cultural, economic, र military influence has made foreign relations, or relations with other countries, an especially important topic in American politics, र the politics of many other countries.
भूमी[सम्पादन गर्ने]
The United States has grown from 13 states in 1776, to 50 states र other land today. The states are like what are sometimes called provinces for some countries.
The country grew from east to west. It conquered र bought lands. It also divided some states into two.
The states are also divided into smaller counties. Two states use different words other than "county". Louisiana uses the word "parish". Alaska uses the word "borough".
The United States also holds several other lands not in a state. Some examples are:
- Washington, D.C., the capital
- Puerto Rico
- American Samoa
- Guam
- U.S. Virgin Islands.
The U.S. military has bases in many countries. The U.S. Naval base at Guantanamo Bay was rented from Cuba, र kept after that country had a Communist revolution.
भुगोल[सम्पादन गर्ने]
The United States is the third biggest country in the world. Its geography varies a lot.
- There are meadows on the East Coast,
- The Appalachian Mountains
- The Great Plains in the middle of the country,
- The Mississippi-Missouri river,
- The Rocky Mountains west of the plains
- Deserts र coastal areas west of the Rocky Mountains
- Rainforests in the Pacific Northwest
- Arctic regions of Alaska
- Volcanic islands in Hawaii
The climate varies along with the geography, from tropical (hot र wet in summer, warm र dry in winter) in Florida to tundra (cold all year) in Alaska. Large parts of the country have warm summers र cold winters. Some parts of the United States, like parts of California, have a Mediterranean climate.
अर्थतन्त्र[सम्पादन गर्ने]
The United States has a capitalist economy. The country has steady economic growth, low unemployment र inflation, र a large trade deficit (meaning the United States buys more things from other countries than it sells).
The American economy is one of the most important in the world. Several countries have coupled their currency with the dollar, meaning that their currency becomes more or less valuable exactly the same way the American dollar does. Some other countries even use the American dollar as their currency. The American stock markets are seen as an indicator of world economy.
The country has rich mineral resources, with many gold, oil, coal र uranium deposits. Farming makes the country among the top producers of, among others, corn (maize), wheat, sugar र tobacco. American produces cars, airplanes र electronics. About 3/4 of Americans work in the service industry.
Some of the country's biggest trading partners are:
- Canada
- Mexico
- European countries
- industrialized Asian nations such as Japan, Taiwan, India, South Korea र China

Most of the people in the United States descend from European immigrants. Many people are descended from Germany, England, Scotland, Ireland, र Italy.
In recent years, many Hispanics have come from Mexico र other parts of Latin America, especially to the U.S. Southwest. Many of these people cross the border illegally. Some Americans are unhappy about that, र are also unhappy about having more use of the Spanish language in the United States (see Languages in the United States).
Many people are African-American. Most of them descend from the African slaves that were brought to America.
A third large minority is Asian-American. Many of them are on the West Coast.
The original peoples, called Native American or American Indians र Eskimos are a very small group.

The social structure of the United States has a big range, meaning some Americans are much, much richer than others. Still, most Americans are much richer than the majority of the world. For example, 51% of all households have access to a computer र 41% had access to the Internet in 2000, a figure which had grown to 75% in 2004. Furthermore, 67.9% of Americans owned their homes in 2002. The average income for an American was $37,000 a year in 2002.

American popular culture goes out to many places in the world. It has a large influence on the rest of the world, especially the Western world.
American music is heard all over the world, र American movies र television shows can be seen almost anywhere.
This very different from when the country was younger र considered culturally primitive.
Now most big American cities have classical र popular music; research centers र museums, dance performances, musicals र plays; outdoor art projects र important architecture.
The United States is also a center of higher education. It has more than 1,500 universities, colleges, र similar institutions. Some of them are very prestigious.

The only drawback I had was in delivery delays of the product and lack of desired color selection. Otherwise I am satisfied with the product itself.

It is like night and day between th Last Bag and any of the hard covers. The Last bag is more durable, lighter, and much easier to roll arounfd the aiport! If you travel with you clubs at all, this is the only travel bag for you! It really will be the Last Bag.

This is by far the best travel bag I've ever had. It provides fully padded protection to your golf bag, as well as extra padding around the top of the bag. It's very light in weight and easy to pull with the built in rollers. I would recommend this bag to anyone looking for a travel bag.

Our friends at Make just noticed this write-up of how to use a nifty little OS X app that detects Bluetooth proximity (not surprisingly, called Proximity) to create custom Applescipt-based actions based on when a user with a Bluetooth-enabled device comes in or out of range of a Mac's bluetooth sensor.
Jesse David Hollington's post describes how he uses Proximity to secure his Powerbook when he's away from the machine, as well as how to keep his OS X Address Book connected and to iSync his phone whenever it comes back within proximity of his Mac.
Activating the screen saver and performing an iSync are both tasks that are trivial to perform via Applescript. Reconnecting the Address Book and enabling and disabling the screen saver password protection is considerably more complicated, however, as I quickly discovered.
I should point out that most of what I am documenting here has been gleaned from various corners of the web, and therefore most of the ideas are not specifically my own. However, I decided to try and document some of this in one place in order to hopefully save others the several hours of searching that it took me to put it all together.
If you would like to implement the screen-saver security feature based on Bluetooth proximity, go check out Jesse's post, he presents all of the code and details needed to pull that off.
This reminds me of some telecom hacks I've seen recently using Asterisk and Bluetooth proximity detection. With the latest version of Asterisk, you can configure it so that your office phone detects the presence of your cell phone's Bluetooth signal, so you can achieve things like having your office number automatically forward its calls to your cell phone when you leave the office, or turn off the forwarding when it detects you are back.
Neat stuff. What kind of Bluetooth proximity hacks would you like to see?
