I am not really a lore expert so that's why I am asking.
With the recent patch, players are given the chance to have the ability to summon Angels and Demons through Legendaries..
The question: are Nephalems allowed to do that? I mean, they should be against demons and, maybe, angels... What is the effect of that in the story? Are those demons and/or angels being summoned somehow like Tyrael in a way? Or are they summoned using magic that may or may not be forbidden?
The ability to summon angels is bound to the weapon, armor, or piece of jewelry. Our heroes don't know how to do it on their own. Not that they wouldn't have the ability to if they bothered to learn the right spells.
Demonic summoning is a known art in Sanctuary, spearheaded by the earlier philosophies of the Vizjeri Mage Clan. Of the forbidden magics that can get on the Viz-jaq'taar's, or more colloquially known as Mage Slayers or Assassin's, hit list, demonic summoning is probably at the very top. I seriously doubt though that anything story-wise will be bothered by it. It doesn't necessarily violate the lore, but it messes it up a bit in a way. But I'm ok with that. If a monk claw, on the other hand, had a demonic summon attached it, well then I think my gears would be ground enough to care.
Angelic summoning is.. pretty much unheard of. I don't know if you can summon an angel the same way you can a demon, but I can tell you that there are no reports of it being done as of now. The weapon that does this, Skycutter, is in fact an instrument of Heaven itself which makes a bit more sense than if its origin was Sanctuary.
Thanks for the response. :)
Yeah - it was just a thought. I've read some of the Diablo books and it made me think. I know they've previously thought of adding a half-demon as a character (now the Demon Hunter after development) but they didn't because they wanted Humans / Nephalems to be the core of the story.
That said, I think it makes sense... that the summoning is weapon bound and not a skill they they learned or...hopefully, will ever learn. Maybe if someone writes a story, it can work like a personal pet or something. I dunno.. There are exceptions always right? So demons and angels can actually work with Nephalems without worrying about betrayal or stuff like that... Inarius worked with Lilith for time too...
Sorry for the scrambled thought. I am an aspiring epic/adventure novel writer and these things always make me think.
Thanks again for taking the time to respond!
I can't say anything about angel's loyalty to humans, but I think without exception, every demon summoned to Sanctuary has betrayed or has had plans to betray their summoner after some amount of time.
Yeah - you're right. But I guess the demons summoned by the weapons aren't really strong enough to betray you.

There is already humans who can summon demons as for angels I think it's just game machine there is no angel summoning so far in the story unless I missed it heh.

More hints have emerged pointing towards the possibility of Boba Fett and the Mandalorians featuring in the upcoming "Star Wars" 7 movie. The official Web site of the franchise shares the original costume designs and some background information about the dreaded bounty hunters in the galaxy. The movie will be released in 2015.
"Star Wars" fans may be surprised to know that the original costume of Boba Fett was supposed to be all white. The early concept art was done by Ralph McQuarrie and Joe Johnston. The later versions of the costume changed the colour and eventually Fett was seen in the mostly green costume in the movies.
The franchise has now launched a 6-inch action figure of Boba Fett in a fully white armour and cape. The official Web site recently shared a documentary about the making the original "Star Wars" trilogy. The attempts may be seen as an attempt to familiarise the younger generation with some of the events and characters who may feature in the upcoming movies.
In another post the official Web site of the franchise explained why each Mandalorian armour is different. The Mandalorians are not like the Stormtroopers or the rebel fleet troopers, according to the post.
Instead of a standardised armour, each Mandalorian armour is a reflection of the personality, individualism and ingenuity of the warrior wearing the armour. The metal used for the armour in the "Star Wars" universe is called Beskar.
Movie buffs who have watched the original trilogy will remember that Boba Fett had fallen into the open jaws of the Sarlacc creature. It is still unclear if he is really dead or if he found a way to escape death in the hands of the beast. It will be entirely up to the script writers to decide whether to bring him back in "Star Wars" 7.
The plot or the villains of the upcoming movie has still not been revealed by the producers. Some of the choices for the villains include a new Sith lord, Mandalorian bounty hunters and Sith Witches also known as the Nightsisters.
"Star Wars" 7 is slated to be released by Dec 18 in Australia, New Zealand, UK and U.S. Recently the star actor in the movie Harrison Ford was reportedly injured on the sets raising some concerns about the filming getting delayed.

DEFINITION of 'Hybrid Market'
A securities exchange that facilitates trading through a blend of an automated electronic trading platform and a traditional floor broker system. Hybrid markets give brokers a choice between participating in the exchange through the traditional floor broker system, or the faster automated electronic exchange system.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Hybrid Market'
In January 2007, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) became the prominent example of a hybrid market. The NYSE, one of the world's oldest major exchanges, operated for years with its system of human brokers manually making trades on the trading floor.
However, as of January 24, 2007, the NYSE moved to allow almost all of its listed stocks to become available for electronic trading. These stocks can still be traded in the traditional method on the trading floor, but brokers also have the option of trading them electronically.
The key advantage to electronic trades is speed - they take less than one second to execute, while the average floor broker trade typically takes about nine seconds.

More than just the "Big 5"
Favorite thing: Unfortunately, too many people are only interested in seeing the "Big 5" that they miss the opportunity to see some of the other great animals that call Africa home.
Spotting giraffes, zebras, warthogs, a variety of antelope as well as water birds and birds of prey is quite exciting....these animals are just as interesting and unique in their own way and watching them in their natural habitat going about their daily lives is a wonderful experience.
I enjoyed seeing some warthogs getting out of a mud bath and running towards each other and playing...they were oblivious to us watching them go about their business.
I also enjoyed watching a stenbok near the road just licking the side of the road...I wondered what it was that she was licking as I didn't see anything that would have caused her to do so.
Fondest memory: Getting the opportunity to see some of this world's beautiful beings in their natural habit is a wonderful experience that can't be compared to too many other life experiences.
- Safari
- National/State Park
- Birdwatching
Keep your eyes wide open!!
Favorite thing: I can't state this strongly enough!!!
If you want to see as many of the animals as possible you have to have your eyes wide open. During my visit to Pilanesberg the other party was relying on the driver to spot the animals and unfortunately the driver only has two eyes and could only spot the animals along the driver side.
I had my eyes open and scanning the terrain. I would say I spotted most of the antelopes as well as the birds, eagles as well as terrapins, storks, an owl a few warthogs coming from a mud bath and a few other animals.
Since you're in a moving vehicle it can be challenging, but it's fun and exciting when you spot some of the animals that you haven't seen yet.
Fondest memory: I was able to spot some amazing birds that I didn't have the opportunity to see in Kruger.
- National/State Park
- Birdwatching
- Safari
Mo Afrika Tours
Favorite thing: I choose Mo Afrika mainly for the convenience. I had already arranged a personal tour of Soweto and Sterkfontein Caves and I wanted to see more of the animals so I asked the driver bringing me back to Johannesburg if he had any recommendations.
Turns out that Mo Afrika Tours is owned by the son of Viva Safaris the tour company I used in Kruger. The driver called Anthony and asked about the Pilanesberg tour and if it was available for the next day, price, and all the info I needed.
I spoke with Anthony and gave him my hotel information and arranged for Mo Afrika to take me to Pilanesberg the next day. Anthony was very pleasant and informed me that there was another party doing the tour and that my price would be R 1350 (about $130 US).
I was promptly picked up at 6 am and then on to pick up the rest of the party. The drive to Pilanesberg is about two hours in navigable roads.
We arrived at a rest stop area where we were able to grab some breakfast, water and any other items we wanted to take with us to the park as we arrived about 1/2 before the park opening. From the rest stop to the park entrance was about another 15 minutes.
We broke for lunch about 1 pm and the driver dropped us off at Sun City where we grabbed a quick bite to eat before returning for the rest of the tour.
Overall I would recommend Mo Afika Tours and would definitely use them again if the need arises.

Just GO
Favorite thing:
My friend, you captured me or did I
you are so you, and I am so me
forever seeking a fleeting moment of rest
in a turmoil of confusion.
A moment of ecstasy between us
a flash, departing in a second
precious , magical moments
seeping silently between you and me.
If for a moment I could love you
hold you and be you
would our love together be forever
stronger than this second

That was something I thought I would be doing (rescuing survivors) before I happened along this thread that has info about adding weight to our copters. So, I've just been doing landing maneuvers and, of late, practicing on fancy touch n gos. My neighbor is getting a little copter this spring and I hope to be in good form to kick his butt in the touch n go game.

I noticed that when you remove the larger tail feather, the copter is less prone to prop wash. So, with that, I adjusted the battery a bit to account for the different CG and I have a very slight forward tendency at a hover. They seem easier to land that way. Shame it takes away from their looks.
I did experience the power of the rotating blades a few days ago during a fly-by. A warning to all; make sure all nipples are covered and well away from the flight path. yeeouch!

Hi everyone, newbie with ?'s.
Have about 15 charge/flight cycles on my s107, no damages yet, I have had TWO tall motors fail on me though! Both after only 5-6 flights each, no i'm not trying to run the tail mirror when the blades are blocked by anything. I figured they would be a little fragile so I have paid special care in avoiding binding the motors under power. This 3rd is my last one...
What kills them & are their any true tail upgrades? Like a brushless option, not a bigger brushed motor. Or at least if it is brushed, not prone to failure...

Slipping Upper Rotor
Hi guys,
Very new to RC Heli's (got one this xmas), but good with mechanical stuff. Anyway, I have been... reckless with my S107. I broke one and just got another, but now I have the same problem and am looking to fix them.
After flying into a ceiling/wall and crashing to the ground a couple times, the upper rotor no longer spins. It feels like I am turning a gear when I try to turn it, where before, it appeared to spin freely. Is this a common problem for newb pilots? Is the type of thing I can just glue or replace with a high degree of reliability? I guess I am a little wary of deciding for myself what is broken and what isn't when I have no experience and 2 broken helicopters.
Is it worth replacing parts, or at 30 bucks, should I just get another copter AND some spare parts? I think I saw a place offering a free bag of replacement parts with purchase.

Check and see if your upper blades are dead not spinning, or spinning up slowly. If it is not spinning at all, something is broken. If it is spinning up slowing, something is missing. Pay special attention to the gears, if all the gears seem to be spinning fast and at about the same speed, your motors and gears are okay. A common problem is the rotor head slipping, not locking tightly to the inner shaft (which you cannot see). Try re-seating the upper head and see if it cures the problem.
Here's what you need to do. There are two locking screw just below the top flybar. Loosen them and then pull the entire head assembly straight up and off the shaft. Now that you have a clear view of the shaft, notice that there is a cut notch near the top, about 2mm of the end. That's where the locking screws should be locking. If the screw is not locking on this surface, or it is somehow loose, the shaft would be spinning, but the energy is not transferred to the blades. So, carefully line up the notch and one of the screws, slip the head assembly all the way down, then tighten both locking screws, one on the flat surface, the other behind it. If you've done that right, you'd have fixed your helicopter.

I'm looking at
And I am seeing this
Do I need to pull the shaft and realign the gears or did I done broke somethin? Hope my pics show...

My little helis rear motor (top blades) has given up..
Turned it on this morning and no power to lift off. I picked it up and felt it trying to turn in my hand ( bottom blades spinning like mad but top just trundling around. Turned it off and on but this time had to push start the top blades, repeated the above one more time and now there is nothing on the top blades at all.....what huge bummer...not ordered my parts yet either.
Off to the back of the class I should go and write a thousand lines consisting of: I should of listened to John, I should of listened to John, I ***************

New to Butternut Squash: a few questions
This year, for the first time, I'm growing some Butternut squash (have no idea which variety) and have a few quick questions for those with some experience in this area:
- How many fruit does/should a plant typically bear?
I've read posts from some that have 20 or more full size squashes on the vine and others with vines covered with flowers but nary a squash. Is there an "average" and if so, what is it?
I assume that the number of female flowers you have is what determines how many fruit you'll get but are there factors (certain soil nutrients, ambient temperature, amount of sun exposure, for example?) that determine the number of female flowers you get?
(I have two groups of the same type of squash started at the same time growing on two different sides of the same building (different soil, different amounts of sun, diff temps). Both look good. One area has 5 squash and more females the other I don't believe has any squash yet. I did notice one female there that seemed to just wither.)
I let the plants both sprawl and climb. So far, there are only squash on the horizontal sections. Is it advisable to occasionally turn them, give them a little "nest" to rest in or just leave 'em alone?
I welcome answers to any or all.
1) 3 or 4 per plant is a good yield, 1 or 2 per plant is more typical if all you do is water and weed them. 20 is a plant grown on last years compost pile that was babied and shouldn't be expected under normal growing conditions, especially not for a first time grower. When people ask about yield I always like to post field trials so here you go Butternut and Acorn field trials
2) Plants should be well fertilized and in full sun. Temperature is largely out of your control so don't worry about it. Full sun is over 6 hours, well fertilized is following the directions on a bag of vegetable fertilizer or working 3 inches of compost into the soil at planting or side-dressing the vines.
3) Don't worry about turning them, but if you want to put something under them you can. Anything that keeps them out of contact with the soil and dry works. It is only really useful if you are growing a few and every squash matters not if you have a field of them.
Thanks to all who answered. I now live in TN and this is my first year gardening. My soil is zero and instead I have chert and shale. I grew some squash for the squash bugs (hundreds) and some in a bag of topsoil. As this plant grew it dipped into a bucket of water nearby and I let it. This variety grows to 15 -30 lbs.each squash. I have one round green striped squash on this plant. Another plant wandered under and around my deck, It has three squash on it. One is about 18 inches long, one 12 and one about eight inches. The trouble is the vines are starting to die. I will try the paper towel and foil method and let you know how it turns out.
Soup sounds yummy. Thanks PS I was a master gardener in GA and had gardens in other states.

Amiloride-sensitive cationic channels are present in the apical membrane of porcine thyroid cells in primary culture. An amiloride-sensitive (K0.5= 150 ± 28 nM where K0.5 is the concentration of unlabelled ligand which reduces the specific binding of the same labelled ligand by 50%) 22Na+-flux component (Km for Na+ at 18 mM) has been identified which was also blocked by the potent amiloride derivative phenamil (K0.5= 47 ± 21 nM). The most potent inhibitor of Na+/H+ exchange, ethylisopropyl-amiloride, hardly inhibited this 22Na+-influx component at a concentration of 21 μM. Amiloride binding sites were characterized using [3H]phenamil. The tritiated ligand binds to a single family of binding sites in thyroid membranes with a Kd value of 50 ± 10 nM and a maximal binding capacity of 5 ± 1 pmol/mg protein. Patch-clamp experiments have directly demonstrated the existence of a phenamil- and amiloride-sensitive cationic channel, with a conductance of 2.6 pS, which is permeable to sodium, but not very selective (PNa-/PK+= 1.2). This channel is an important element in the regulation of the resting membrane potential of thyroid cells.

Help the Scouts Collect Food for the Hungry in our Community!
Doing some spring cleaning? Don't throw away those canned goods in your pantry. Boy Scouts throughout the area will be collecting food for the 26th Annual Scouting for Food Drive on March 28th. Scouts ask that you please place nonperishable food items in a bag on your doorstep by 9 a.m. on Saturday, March 28th. Scouts will be moving through the neighborhoods from 9 a.m. -12 p.m. to collect all the donated items.
The Scouting for Food collection is the largest food collection for the Tri-State Area. This food collection will not only supply the Dubuque Food Pantry with food for SIX MONTHS, it will also benefit food pantries in East Dubuque, Peosta, Cascade, Epworth, Dyersville, and Bellevue. No matter where the food is collected, the surrounding area will benefit from this selfless act of giving.
The Northeast Iowa Council, BSA started participating in this service project in 1990. Since then, Scouts from the NEIC have collected 715,000 pounds of food for the Dubuque community and the surrounding areas! Last year, Scouts collected over 30,000 pounds of food.
So how can YOU help?
The Northeast Iowa Scouts would like to make this year even more substantial, but we cannot do it alone. Please remember to "TAG the BAG" and help the Scouts provide food for the hungry in our community!
- Grab a bag and search your cupboards for items to donate.
- Place your bag outside your door on the morning of Saturday, March 28th.
- Scouts will come pick them up from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. And presto, you are done!
A few Things to Remember
- Please do not donate perishable, frozen, or items in glass containers.
- Items that are in the highest demand at local food pantries are peanut butter, paper products, canned meat, canned potatoes, and disposable diapers.
- If for some reason the Scouts miss your house and the bag is not picked up by 1 p.m. you can call the Food Phone at (563) 581-9683 and someone will be sent to get it. Or you can take it to one of our collection sites.
Our main collection site: Hy-Vee at 2395 NW Arterial
Other Collection Centers:
Dubuque: Hy-Vee at 3500 Dodge St, Hy-Vee at 400 S. Locust St, The Food Pantry at 1598 Jackson St
East Dubuque: The Food Pantry at 12 Sinsinawa Avenue
Peosta: The Peosta Community Center at 7896 Burds Road
Epworth: Silkers Grocery at 101 E. Main Street, The Food Pantry (St. Patrick's Rectory, near the garages)
Dyersville: The Food Pantry (Located behind/beneath Dyersville Chiropractic)
Bellevue: The Bellevue Breadbasket at 1700 State Street
100% of all food collected is sorted, boxed, and hand delivered to our area Food Pantries.
100% of any money donated at local Hy-Vee Stores in the name of Scouting for Food is used to purchase more food for local food pantries.
Thank you so much for donating to this great event!
Let's make this another great year for Scouting for Food!

The aliquot sum of 85 is 23 within the aliquot sequence (23,1,0), 85 being the second composite number in the 23-aliquot tree.
85 is an octahedral number, a centered triangular number, a centered square number, and a decagonal number.
85 can be expressed as a sum of two squares in two ways, 85= 92 + 22 = 72 + 62, the lowest number to have this property with all squares greater than 1.[1][not in citation given][importance?] It is also the length of the hypotenuse of four pythagorean triangles.
In base 10 it is a Smith number.

I used this as a stop-over on our way to Venice.
It was not far from the highway and a cheap option for a few hours of sleep.
A plus for me, was that although there was nobody at the reception, they left the key with a note at the entrance and we could just get to our room.
A minus could be that it's hard to find and there are currently a lot of roadworks around it.
Nothing special, it looks just as cheap as it is, but clean.

Published on 21 July 2014 by Workers World
Fidel Castro writes a regular column for Granma. The Havana newspaper is named for the ship that in 1956 carried the revolutionary leader and his band of courageous young fighters to Cuba to launch an armed struggle that liberated the island from the bloody dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista and his U.S. backers. Below is his commentary of July 18.
'This morning the cables were full of reports about the unheard-of news that a Malaysia Airlines passenger plane had been hit at an altitude of 10,100 meters as it flew over Ukrainian territory, along a route controlled by the war-hungry government of chocolate king Petro Poroshenko.
Cuba, which has always stood in solidarity with the Ukrainian people, and in the difficult days of the Chernobyl tragedy provided medical care to the many children affected by the accident's harmful radiation, and is always willing to continue doing so, cannot refrain from expressing our repudiation of the action of the anti-Russian, anti-Ukrainian and pro-imperialist government.
At the same time, coinciding with the Malaysian aircraft crime, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, head of the nuclear state, ordered his army to invade the Gaza Strip, where, over the last several days, hundreds of Palestinians have died, many of them children. The president of the United States supported the action, describing the repugnant act as legitimate defense.
Obama does not support David against Goliath, but rather Goliath against David. As is known, young men and women from the Israeli people, well prepared for productive work, are being exposed to a death without honor, without glory. I am not aware of the Palestinians' military strategy, but I know that a combatant prepared to die can defend even the ruins of a building, as long as he has his rifle, as the heroic defenders of Stalingrad demonstrated.
I only wish to express my solidarity with the heroic people who defend the last sliver remaining of what was their homeland for thousands of years.'
On 11 July Cuba strongly condemned the new Israeli attack against the population of the Gaza Strip that has caused the death of more than 100 people and wounds to hundreds.
In a communique, the Cuban Foreign Ministry denounced that Israel uses its military and technological superiority to execute a policy of collective punishment with out-of-proportion use of force, which causes the death of innocent civilians and huge material damage.
Faced with that situation, we are calling to the international community to demand that Israel ends its escalation of violence, said the statement signed by the Director for Bilateral Issues of the Cuban Foreign Ministry, Gerardo Peñalver.
Only talks on the grounds of equality can lead to a fair peace that allows the Palestinian people to exerise their inalienable rights and establish definitively the Palestinian State, with its capital in East Jerusalem, the text said.
According to international media outlets, Israeli troops and armor-plated vehicles are stationed at the border with Gaza, awaiting the order to enter and occupy the territory.
There have been denunciations of the air raids against the civil population in the Gaza Strip that have caused numerous deaths, including those of women and children, who were taken by surprise inside their homes while asleep
Speech by Army General Raúl Castro Ruz, first secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba's Central Committee, President of the Councils of State and Ministers, on July 5, 2014, Year 56 of the Revolution, during the National Assembly of People's Power 8th Legislature's third period of ordinary sessions, in Havana's Convention Center
Compañeras and compañeros:
Over the last few weeks, we have held important meetings, among them the June 21 Council of Ministers and the 8th Plenum of the Party Central Committee, last Thursday. Information about both events, especially the Council of Ministers, has been broadly reported in the media.
Likewise, since Wednesday, deputies have discussed in depth, in their respective commissions, the principal issues affecting the nation's work. My remarks will therefore be brief.
As has been reported, during the first half of the year, the Cuban economy continued to grow modestly; the Gross Domestic Product (GNP) increased by 0.6%, indicating a deceleration in the growth rate as a result of shortfalls in external income; the negative effects of weather conditions; as well as the persistence of internal economic management deficiencies.
Despite growth in the areas of transportation, communications, agriculture, the sugar industry and tourism, decreases were registered in mining and industrial production, the latter as a result of difficulties with financing and the consequent late delivery of imported raw materials.
Likewise, the negative effects of the world economic crisis continue, while the U.S. blockade has been tightened, especially with respect to the persecution of financial entities which maintain ties with our country, a topic I will address again later.
In these undeniably difficult circumstances, we have met in a timely fashion our financial obligations resulting from the restructuring of debts with our principal creditors, a fact which favors the continuing recuperation of our economy's international credibility.
At the same time, internal monetary equilibrium has been maintained, both within the population's sector and in the economy as a whole. The tendency toward recovering financial discipline, in terms of accounts payable and receivable, has been consolidated, as well.
To achieve a growth of 1.4% in the GNP by the end of the year, more and better work is required during the second semester, and the utilization of untapped sources of efficiency must be strengthened.
We are not satisfied with the results achieved, but neither are we discouraged, in the least. Faced with these difficult circumstances, our spirit of struggle, determination and optimism must prevail, to reverse the situation and regain the rate of growth needed to assure socialist development, based on sustainable and irreversible foundations.
Havana.- Paris National Bank (BNP) Paribas agreed to pay an 8.9-billion-dollar fine to avoid penal actions, after admitting its violation of the US economic, commercial and financial blockade of Cuba and other nations.
Representatives of the French bank admitted before a Southern Manhattan Court, in New York, the falsification of commercial documents to hide operations considered illegal in the United States.
This is one of the largest fines ever imposed on a French entity for violating the sanctions maintained by Washington against some countries of the world.
It is not known yet if the fine will be joined by other measures such as the laying off of at least a dozen employees and the temporary suspension of the rights of the bank to do transactions in US dollars, as it was originally demanded by US authorities.
Last February, BNP Paribas closed its offices in Havana amidst a probe by US authorities for alleged transactions that violated Washington's prohibitions to do business with Cuba, Iran and Sudan.
"These policies defy reason: there are dozens of countries we call our allies and we are free to travel to that present much worse threats and concerns to the US than Cuba does in this decade. ", said the President of Google, Eric Schmidt in an article he posted on his personal website about his recent visit to the island.
During the trip Schmidt was accompanied by Google directives Jared Cohen, Brett Perlmutter and Dan Keyserling.
In his article he included several pictures he took in Havana and said that "the Cuban people, modern and very well educated define the experience with a warmth that only Latin cultures express: tremendous music, food and entertainment (most of which we were not able to sample, more about that visa in a minute.)"
"The two most successful parts of the Revolution, as they call it, is the universal health care free for all citizens with very good doctors, and the clear majority of women in the executive and managerial ranks in the country. Almost all the leaders we met with were female, and one joked with us that the Revolution promised equality, the macho men didn't like it but "they got used to it", with a broad smile," Schmidt noted.
Cuban doctors at the Jose Marti Eye Hospital in Montevideo, Uruguay, have administered 50,000 surgeries as part of the program known as Operation Miracle.
Sixto Amaro, a directive with the Social Prevention Bank, told reporters that the achievement will be publicly acknowledged next week and that Operation Miracle has allowed a saving of 100 million dollars in seven years.
The health program has been implemented in Uruguay since 2005 following a bilateral accord between Havana and Montevideo, said Amaro and added that out of the 50,000 eye surgeries, 38 were done on cataracts, which benefited retired persons.
The rest of the surgeries were administered on other eye conditions, PL news agency reported on Wednesday from the Uruguayan capital. Sources at the hospital said that over 70,000 patients are assisted at the center every year, with an average 250 consultations a day and more than 4,000 a month
News from the AP about the U.S. government's secret project to create a Cuban Twitter or "ZunZuneo," to be used for disseminating propaganda and fomenting unrest in Cuba, spurring young people in that country to overthrow their government, comes as no surprise to anyone with even the most cursory understanding of U.S. policy in Cuba and Latin America in general. It is but a tiny part of a 55-year-old, completely unprovoked, genocidal policy against a nation whose only offense is failing to subordinate itself to the will of the U.S. government.
ZunZuneo was initiated and run by the ostensibly "humanitarian" U.S. Agency for International Development through a series of shell corporations which were not supposed to be traced back to the government. The project is typical of the type of subversion and interference with another nation that the U.S. government has always felt entitled to undertake, regardless of the principles of sovereignty and self-determination fundamental to international law.
Due to Cuba's successful revolution in 1959 and their ongoing ability to resist U.S. subversion of their socioeconomic system, U.S. actions against the tiny nation in the Carribean have been harsher than any other victim who fails to recognize the U.S. as its rightful master. Early destabilization efforts included a vicious campaign of terrorism against Cuba, part of a massive CIA effort that later evolved into a policy of providing safe haven to terrorist exile groups and looking the other way as they violate the U.S. Neutrality Act and international law.
Cuba's rehabilitation services are present in 36 nations, informed on Thursday Maritza Leyva, head of the Comprehensive Rehabilitation Program of the island's Public Health Ministry.
While addressing participants in the opening of the 1 st Workshop on Medical Equipment, as part of the International Convention of Cuban Industry (Cubaindustria -2014), Leyva pointed out that working in these nations are physicians, physical therapists and highly qualified technicians, while in many places there are only promoters.
Various specialties, such as physical medicine and rehabilitation, logopedics, defectology, podiatry, occupational therapy, natural and traditional medicine and physical education are incorporated to contribute to the rehabilitation of disabled persons, specified Leyva.
New Cuban equipment made by the country's medical industry were presented during the workshop.
Argentina is facing the potential of a new financial crisis after it defied legal attempts to force it to repay US$1.33 billion in debt owed to the so-called "vulture" funds that have pursued the country for more than a decade. Over the weekend the Argentine government proceeded with a $US539 million payment to creditors that had agreed to restructured debt terms following the country's 2002 default.
But it has ignored a US Supreme Court order to pay out a group of mainly New York-based "hold out" hedge funds. These had refused the country's restructured terms and are demanding a payment of $1.33 billion. US Supreme Court Judge Thomas Griesa described Argentina's payment to the restructured debt holders as illegal and "explosive", ordering the Bank of New York Mellon to return the money to Argentina. The judge has pleaded with Argentine authorities to negotiate with the hedge funds to avoid a technical default. Argentina argues that paying both classes of creditor would also cause it to default.
A brief history of debt
The Cuban people and government pay tribute today to Reserve Army Corps General Sixto Batista Santana, who passed away Sunday in Havana from a painful disease.
According to Granma newspaper, the remains of the outstanding revolutionary will be buried at the Veterans' Pantheon in the Colon Cemetery.
Batista Santana was born March 28, 1932 to a poor family in the western province of Santiago de Cuba. He joined the Rebel Army headed by Fidel Castro at a very young age and he assumed different responsibilities during the revolution, such as Chief of the Political Staff of the Revolutionary Armed Forces and Coordinator of the Revolution's Defense Committee.
Batista was a founding member of the Cuban Communist Party's Central Committee and he was also member of the Cuban Council of State.
Fight Racism! Fight Imperialism! 239 June / July 2014
The Bacardi Corporation has launched a new deep saturation advertising campaign, with vibrant videos and colourful images. The adverts brandish the Cuban flag, with slogans such as 'we survived exile from our own country' and 'we thrived during Prohibition'. Bacardi, the richest family-owned business in the world, has an army of lawyers and marketing and public relations professionals to clean up their murky past and obscure their right-wing agenda. Scratch the surface, however, and the truth is there.
Bacardi began leaving Cuba long before the revolution, back in 1910 when they moved their bottling to Barcelona, Spain. Later in the 1930s they opened facilities in Mexico and Puerto Rico. Bacardi boasts about how they benefited from the abuse of Cuba as a colonial playground for wealthy Americans during the Prohibition years. However, they also claim that their assets were 'illegally confiscated without compensation' by the Cuban government in 1960. In fact, they were offered compensation by the revolutionary government, a sum based on the value of the assets they had themselves declared for tax payment purposes. Pepin Bosch, head of Bacardi at the time of the Cuban Revolution, a man referred to as 'the saviour' on Bacardi's website, was linked to the CIA and exiles groups actively involved in attacking revolutionary Cuba.
Later, he and other members of the Bacardi family helped set up the Cuban American National Foundation (CANF). Membership was initially granted to Cuban exiles whose businesses were worth more than $50,000 when they were nationalised by the Cuban government. This exclusive club used their wealth to buy power, cultivating the support of influential right-wing US senators. The fruit of this partnership was the Helms-Burton Act in 1996, which penalises any country trading with Cuba. Even the European Union questioned the legality of the Act, but CANF lawyers fought off every objection.
Fight Racism! Fight Imperialism! 239 June / July 2014
In April and May 2014, news about two US-based attacks on Cuba hit international headlines, demonstrating that as the capitalist crisis intensifies, imperialist attempts to destabilise the popular and revolutionary government of socialist Cuba continue. Louise Gartrel reports.
On 3 April, following a thorough investigation, Associated Press (AP) exposed a US government-funded covert programme to develop a social media network in Cuba as a tool to promote an uprising against the government. The mobile phone network was called 'Zunzuneo', which is Cuban slang for the hummingbird's 'tweet'; hence this project was referred to as the Cuban 'twitter'. Then on 7 May, the Cuban government announced that four Cuban exiles from Miami had been arrested on 26 April on entering the country with the intention of carrying out terrorist actions against military installations. As living conditions worsen for the majority in the capitalist countries, and as repression, racism and exploitation increases, Cuba represents a viable alternative which threatens the rotten neoliberal system. This has provided the impetus to ratchet up attacks on Cuba.
The Cuban government strongly rejected on Saturday the blacklisting of the island by the US State Department in its annual Trafficking in Persons Report.
The Cuban government strongly rejected on Saturday the blacklisting of the island by the US State Department in its annual Trafficking in Persons Report by calling it a groundless unilateral practice and an offence against the Cuban people.
A statement issued by the general director of the Cuban Foreign Ministry's United States Division, Josefina Vidal, reads that on June 20, the US Department of State decided to again include Cuba on the worst category of its annual report on countries that do not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking in persons and that do not make significant efforts to do so.
Washington took the decision disregarding the high recognition and prestige of Cuba for its outstanding role in the protection of its children, youths and women.
The statement reads that Cuba has not asked any evaluation from the United States nor it needs any recommendations from that country, which is facing some of the worst problems related to the trafficking in children and women around the world.
The United States has no moral to certify Cuba or to suggest any kind of plans when, according to estimates, nearly 200 thousand US citizens are victims of trafficking inside the US territory, where labor exploitation is the most expanded modality of trafficking in persons with 85 percent of legal processes on the issue are related to sexual exploitation and with over 300 thousand children, out of one million who leave their homes, are subject to some kind of exploitation, the statements notes.
The Government of Cuba strongly rejects the unilateral US practice, for considering it groundless and an offence against the Cuban people, reads the statement and adds that the inclusion of Cuba on the US list is due to political interests, as it is the certification of the island as a state sponsor of international terrorism, which is a pretext to justify the financial sanctions imposed and increasing stiffened by the US government against Cuba, thus severely affecting Cuban children, youths, women and all the people, concludes the statement issued by the general director of the Cuban Foreign Ministry's United States Division.
Haiti opened on June 11 its third community hospital with the support of Cuba and Brazil, after the earthquake that hit the nation in January 2010.The medical facility was inaugurated by President Michel Martelly at the Carrefour neighborhood, west of the capital Port au Prince and it will benefit a population of more than 60 thousand, according to PL news agency. Martelly stressed the importance of Cuban cooperation in the health sector and in other areas, such as education, fishing, construction and agriculture. Meanwhile, Cuban ambassador to Haiti, Ricardo Garcia, said that the facility, in which Cuban medical specialists will also work, will contribute to the strengthening and reconstruction of the Haitian health system in order to improve the people's quality of life
Ecuadorian foreign minister Ricardo Patiño said in Quito that without Cuba's full participation there will be no Summit of the Americas in Panama next year.
In a press conference on Wednesday, the foreign minister said that there is regional consensus on the Cuba issue as was evidenced at the recent meeting of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR), held in the Galapagos Islands and at the Forum of the Organization of American States (OAS), in Paraguay.
Ecuadorian president Rafael Correa recently stated that his country will not go to the Panama Summit of the Americas if Cuba is not there.
It is unacceptable holding a Summit of the Americas without Cuba, as it is also unacceptable the existence of the Organization of American States without Cuba, and Latin America cannot tolerate this situation, said Correa.
Ecuador did not attend the 2013 Summit of the Americas in protest against Cuba's absence.
A scandalous video with false images of Cuba was presented by the NGO UN Watch during the so-called VI Summit for Human Rights and Democracy held in the International Conference Centre of Geneva, Switzerland.
The video is part of the ongoing campaign of UN Watch, an NGO known as "The Trojan Horse" of the CIA in Geneva, aimed at achieving that countries such as Cuba, China, Saudi Arabia and Russia, stop being members of the United Nations Human Rights Council.
During its presentation at the Summit, the UN Watch NGO, through its director Hillel Neuer, showed false images of Cuba where riot police officers appear beating some supposed Cuban young persons who are seated on the street shirtless.
Next they publish some images of about twenty of the so-called Ladies in White, women paid by the United States who were marching peacefully down a street of Havana and mix them with another group of women who have nothing to do with the Ladies in White.
Not a single police officer or a single image of repression presented by UN Watch corresponds to Cuba. Every person having lived of visited the Island knows very well that those images do not correspond to the Caribbean country. Cuban police officers wear neither those uniforms, helmets, nor those riot shields...
We must break the blockade of information. There is a lot of misinformation and disinformation about Cuba throughout the world. They are very powerful and able confuse the international public; Cuba is not immune to that. It is because of the blockade of information that the work that RATB does is so important. ' Osmani Castro, Provincial Assembly Delegate
The US is collaborating with other imperialist countries to further tighten the economic blockade of Cuba; despite the opposition this is provoking in the region. On 25th October 2011, for the 20th consecutive time, the UN General Assembly voted 186-2 to end the blockade. The only country to support the US was Israel, which continues its own genocidal blockade of the Gaza strip. At the Bolivarian Alliance for the Latin Americas (ALBA) summit February 2012, a declaration was made against the blockade and Cuba's exclusion from the US-dominated OAS (Organisation of American States). When the OAS meeting came about in April, Rafael Correa of Ecuador boycotted the meeting in protest; leader after leader spoke out in opposition to the US veto of Cuba's presence. ALBA countries, and other leaders made it clear that without a radical change in the nature and structure of the summits, they would not attend again. Even arch-reactionary Pope Benedict XVI on his recent visit to Cuba criticised the: 'restrictive economic measures, imposed from outside the country' which 'unfairly burden the people.' With worldwide condemnation of imperialism's blockade, what does it mean for people on the ground in Cuba? The 'Justice for the Cuban 5' solidarity brigade visited Cuba this February, finding a country defiant and united in the face of this imperialist aggression.
Yoani Sánchez, a famous blogger in Havana, Cuba, is a character peculiar to the world of Cuban dissidents. No opponent has ever benefited from such massive media exposure and international recognition of such a scale in so little time. After emigrating to Switzerland in 2002, she returned to Cuba two years later, in 2004. In 2007, she joined the world of the Cuban opposition and created her blog 'Generation Y' becoming a staunch critic of the government. Never has any dissident in Cuba, or perhaps in the world, achieved so many international awards in such a short time, and all with a particular characteristic: Yoani Sánchez has been provided with enough money to live quietly in Cuba for the rest of her life. Indeed, the blogger has been paid up to 250 000 euros in total, or an amount equivalent to more than 20 years of the minimum wage in a country like France, the fifth world power. The minimum monthly wage in Cuba is 420 pesos, or 18 dollars or 14 euros, so that Yoani Sánchez has won the equivalent of 1,488 years of Cuban minimum wage for her opposition activities.

Fourth grade
|This article relies largely or entirely upon a single source. (July 2010)
Fourth grade, also called Grade 4, is a term used to refer to a year of elementary education in some countries. In North America (with which region the term is usually associated thanks to its repetition in widely disseminated media sources) the fourth grade is the fourth school year after kindergarten. Students are usually 9 or 10 years old, depending on their birthday. It is a part of elementary school, a school providing instruction for young pupils, comprising the first three, four, or five grades of a student's educational career. Examples of lessons taught include - larger place value; how to write a good summary; writing with transitions; how to read large numbers; writing with starter sentence; and detailed sentences.
Brazil equivalent[edit]
In Brazil, the minimum age required for fourth grade was recently changed from 8 to 9 years old.
Canada equivalent[edit]
In Ontarian and English-based Nova Scotian schools, the study of the French Language begins.
Dutch equivalent[edit]
In The Netherlands, the fourth year of school is called group 6, and the pupils are 9 to 10 years old. Children start at school from the age of 4 till the age of 12 or 13. In Belgium it's called 4th (study) year. The children are also around the age 9 and 10.

Ireland equivalent[edit]
In The Republic of Ireland, the equivalent is Fourth Class or Rang a Ceathair (for 9- to 10-year-olds) which is year 6 of Primary School.
New Zealand equivalent[edit]
In New Zealand, this level of class is called Standard 3 or Year 5. Children generally start this level between the ages of nine and ten.
Philippines equivalent[edit]
In The Philippines, grade 4 or known as 4th grade is the starting of intermediate but it is still in elementary.
Portugal equivalent[edit]
In Portugal, what North Americans would call the fourth grade (quarto ano, 4º ano to Portuguese people) is the fourth and last year of the four-year 1º Ciclo do Ensino Básico that includes also the first grade, the second grade and the third grade.[2] Students take final exams (provas finais) of Portuguese and mathematics at the end of the fourth grade since the school year of 2012/2013.[3][4]
United Kingdom[edit]
In England, the sixth year of school is called year 4 (starting with nursery- or kindergarten- then reception, then year 1, year2, year3, then year 4), and the pupils are 8 to 9 years old.[5] Fourth grade is the equivalent of 'Year 5' (ages 9-10)in England and Wales, Primary 6 in Northern Ireland and Primary 6 in Scotland - the fifth year of compulsory education in England and Wales, and the sixth in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

OMG Mine Enemy.. Best Mission Ever
First let me say I am way to inebriated to be posting just had a nice dinner with my wife but I will post anyway.
I loved this mission. It is quite likely the best mission I have played in STO. The reasons I like it:
1) The place actually felt alive. People walking around. Animals at play. The "mine" car traveling between buildings. All added a depth of being alive I really adored.
2) There were people I could talk to that had a bearing on what I felt about the place without having them actually be needed to complete the mission. Very nice touch.
3) The cut scenes were well done and I actually had a little bit of sympathy for Jana.. yeah she was a romulan but she seemed dismayed over killing innocent civilizians. It made it that much easier to spare her life later.
4) The diplomacy solution. The guard that could be won over with enough diplomacy points... just cool. Sadly I didn't have enough so he died... still I like that diplo rank actually had a use. More of this please
5) Decoding the data. Just way to cool. Actually have a use for all the missions we have done. All that knowledge gained actually was usefull. Again more of this please.
Overalll I totally had a ball doing this mission.
I would post a negative comment if I had one but I dont. Server issues aside this mission was awesome.
Oh and my new Horta friend was a sweet added bonus.
The designers will be very happy to read your comments. Despite the server issues, the developers spent a lot of time and effort into putting the details into this mission. This is the kind of missions I want to be playing in STO and I look forward to the day when all the missions in the game are this quality and better.
It felt busy and alive in that Defera sense.
However, i love that everything felt run-down and used.
Moving mining cart? How did they do that? I'm still trying to figure it out. You have to do some serious hackery to get that stuff to look good in our editor.
Bravo to Kurt on this one (environment artist). He deserves it.
Also a shout out to the character artists.... those new romulan models and their uniforms are EPIC. When I saw Janek and Hareev in that cutscene, I was floored, they looked amazing, and the various disheveled looks of the poor civilians outside really stood out against them.
Sort of makes me ashamed of the hot mess our Starfleet uniforms have become :)
My favorite touch was the moving, dynamic searchlight on the tower: it felt very dire with that touch alone.
Don't take offense: I felt like I was playing a Bioware RPG during the Ground Portion due to the cutscenes. It didn't feel like an MMO. It felt like a really good mission in a really good SP-RPG.
Any chance of hooking up dialogue options to the bottom of the screen instead of pop-ups, if there's voice acting on the NPC?
It feels much better when the NPCs look like ordinary Romulan citizenry instead of military walking about. I think it is a superb touch that there is a hint of Nero and crew in the way some of these miners look. It helps tie things together visually.
Great work to Matt and Denis on this (not to mention they also did the Horta and well... every other costume and NPC face in the entire series).
I agree with this in general ; but you FORGOT the to mention 'roving spotlight' too ;). The whole ambience of the Mining Colony was GREAT, SUPERB, can't say enough good about it - and I wish ALL content - even random eploration missions had a portion of this type of ambience. PLEASE consider this wjhen adding ANY new mission content. :D
My one negative relates to a part of the 'Engineering optional objective' - specifically the one ppart of it that just required you to randomly guess the correct answer to a question with no real clue as to what the correct answrer is.
I think the tech that makes random answers cycle is good - but the use here was lacklustre in that - If I'm supposed to be an 'Expert Engineer'; just 'random guess until you get the right one, kind of blows that illusion out of the water. Combined with some puzzle or something else that might give me a clue to the correct answer (maybe calling up to the ship to see a manual on the type of Drill, etc.) in addition the randomizer woukld have worked better.
Also, I still wish they could implement tech that keeps the other class' optional objectives from even appearing on a mission map, UNLESS you're part of a player character team with multiple character classes on the map; and in that case only the options related to the character classes ON the map (and the team) should be shown.
Still, in general, The STO Dev team keeps topping itself with each new featured episode series. I PRAY you guys never give up on making STO 'episodes' like these.
I agree, this mission is easily one of the best. The environments were great, and the story had a flow to it that has largely been missing from other missions. Plus, I love the revamp that the Romulan ground forces got. Before, I always preferred fighting Romulans on the ground because, frankly, they were the least annoying faction in ground combat (yes, even factoring in two+ Combat Medics in one spawn). I didn't really like fighting them, it just felt like less of a chore compared to the other factions. But now, I just love fighting these guys, especially with the thalaron mines. Those things are so cool that I'm always tempted to just let myself get killed so I can see the awesome corpse I leave behind.

Canvas cover on steel pergola
I recently bought a steel pergola kit from Lowes that has a canvas covering over the top. It has two metal weights on each end, but the canvas still flies off if there is a heavy wind. I knew this when I bought it as this was the major concern of all who posted product ratings on the site. Many people on the site said they tied down the sides with rope after using gromets to thread the rope thru. I purchased rope and gromets today to do just that but before I tackle it, I would like suggestions from this forum as to what would be the best way to do it. I am posting a picture of the pergola (If I can figure out how to do it as I am new to posting). Please any and all suggestions are welcome.

Police stumped by mysterious device that unlocks cars
Burglars have been spotted with a small device that disables alarms and unlocks
By Kyung Lah
CNN via KSDK
Police across the country are stumped by a rash of car thefts. In surveillance video of the thefts, criminals appear to open locked cars with a mysterious handheld device.
Mike Bender, ex-police officer and auto theft expert, calls it the latest high tech crime tool hitting New York to Los Angeles. And like police across the country, he doesn't know exactly what it is.
But federal agents may be closing on what these boxes are. Law enforcement sources tell CNN that they now have one of these boxes in Texas. They're trying to figure out if this is the same device used in other car burglaries.

When I join a ranked team I am thinking about maining mid. Was just wondering what I should be focusing on?
Senior Member
And that is one of the things I am bad at.
Z The Slayer
It is important to make sure not to scare away your prey. Guess how much damage you can do in a maximum burst, and how many harassment attempts you need to get your opponent that low. One thing I often did as Veigar is to send a few Q's at my enemy until they were about half life, where a stun-meteor-Q would land me a kill. Since all of your damage is cooldown based, you really only get one shot, unless you have extra damage spells on hand (but no real AP is going to stick around to let you burst them).
Understand that your opponent is counting on this just as well. This is why Annie is a well-used mid. She has the element of surprise with her stun, and with proper damage judgement, she can melt you after a few harassment trades without really giving you a chance.
Understanding how to take care of certain champs in different matchups is very important. Against Akali or Fizz? Be aggressive as soon as you enter the lane. Lux or Fizz? Get early boots and stay frosty.
Sometimes, you might be dealt a losing hand, and you may just have to swap with your bruiser. Khazix, Vi or Talon are well known to go mid and destroy stupid and stubborn AP carries who refuse to move for the sake of the 'Meta', but they are all usually well countered by bruisers.
Last hitting, as Nine said, is very important. Want to practice last hitting? Play as Leona. One of the slowest attack animations with low base attack makes her one of the best to practice with.
Learn how useful breaking the Line of Sight is. Whenever you have your lane pushed, act like you're going to gank by just moving to a side brush. This makes people believe you are missing to gank. Repeating this process will mean that their MIAs (or SS's) are spamming the chat and have little value, or they'll just stop calling it. Champions that scale well with Athene's (Ziggs, Lux) can usually melt the minion waves with no problem and hide, causing tons of chaos for the enemy team.
I'd honestly have to say that the most important part about playing an AP mid is knowing your enemy. Know what Veigars do when they try to initiate with a stun. Know the telltale signs that Akali is itching for a dash-burst. When Annie is just looking for an excuse to summon Tibbers. You'll be able to tell with experience. Veigar's stun is honestly the best example of this, and it's really quite obvious. It's unfortunate he's rarely seen nowadays.
How could one not recommend practicing last hit with Karthus XD
I would say if you get countered, roaming will likely work out better for you than lane swapping, because the enemy team will probably just lane swap themselves. Push your lane as safely as you can and keep good eyes out for helping sidelanes get kills. This way you pretty much avoid your dreaded mid matchup and still get fed.
Thanks for all the help, I have been enlightened.
