Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis is to lead a rabbinical mission to Israel in May in order to put education about Israel "firmly back in the pulpit".
The expected participation of 50 Orthodox rabbis would make it the largest mission of its kind mounted by a chief rabbi, his office believed.
A controversial preacher who believes that Down's Syndrome and autism are the consequences of sins committed in a previous life made his first speaking tour of Britain this week, despite protests about his visit.
The decision to bar a Reform rabbi from a Holocaust Memorial Day service has been criticised by a senior Orthodox minister and the Association of Jewish Ex-Servicemen and Women .
The Czech ambassador to the UK Michael Zantovsky will join senior rabbis from the Reform and Masorti movements at a ceremony this weekend commemorating the 50th anniversary of the arrival of hundreds of Holocaust-era Czech Sifrei Torah to Britain.
He is a self-professed yeshiva boy "born and bred" — hailing from a rabbinic dynasty that goes back 12 generations.
People flock to Rabbi Issamar Ginzberg, who lives in Jerusalem, for advice — but it's not explanations of the Torah that they seek.
Every youngster in the Brondesbury Park Synagogue community will receive a Jewish or Israel themed book each year as part of an initiative celebrating the 10th anniversary of Rabbi Baruch Levin's leadership.
Finchley Synagogue congregants have overwhelmingly endorsed the appointment of Rabbi Jeremy Lawrence — currently with the Sydney Great Synagogue — as the successor to Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis as its senior minister.
Rabbi Lawrence, his wife Mandy and two of their four children had spent Shabbat with the Finchley community prior to the vote.
Cockfosters and North Southgate Synagogue members will vote next month on the endorsement of Rabbi Daniel Epstein to fill its ministerial vacancy following the retirement of Rabbi Yisroel Fine.
Accountant turned rabbi Michael Foulds is figuring out how to adapt to life beyond the pulpit when he retires as Buckhurst Hill Masorti minister at Purim.
He came to the rabbinate late in life after 30 years in accountancy, during which he served as president of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants and received an OBE for services to the profession.
A Sephardi congregation has cancelled a talk by a rabbi who believes that Down's Syndrome and autism are punishments for sins committed in a previous life.
Israeli-born Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi, who runs an outreach organisation in the United States, was due to speak at Od Yosef Hai in Hendon, north London next month.

Cull Graphics Quickly with Preview
You're faced with a folder full of images, and you need to sort through them, trashing some number and keeping the rest. For a quick way to do that, select them all, and open them in Preview (in Leopard, at least). You'll get a single window with each graphic as an item in the drawer. Use the arrow keys to move from image to image, and when you see one you want to trash, press Command-Delete to move it from its source folder to the Finder's Trash. (Delete by itself just removes the picture from Preview's drawer.)

Tide tables and solunar tables for sport fishers in Vaca Key. Find out the forecast for high tides and low tides before setting out to fish, and other fishing-related data such as the lunar phase, tidal coefficient, sun and moon rising and setting times, hours of maximum fish activity, weather conditions in Vaca Key ...
We want you to enjoy to the max a well-planned fishing expedition! Good luck!
Today Wednesday, 1st of April of 2015, the sun will rise in Vaca Key at 7:15 am and sunset will be at 7:41 pm. Today we begin the day with the moon already visible in the sky, so first we will see the moonset, which will take place at 5:30 am at 277º west. Eventually, the moon will rise again in the east (85º) at 5:33 pm.
In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the first high tide was at 1:16 am and the next high tide will be at 2:17 pm. The first low tide will be at 5:21 am and the next low tide at 5:49 pm.
The lunar phase is a Waxing Gibbous. Today we will have 12 hours and 26 minutes of sun. The solar transit will be at 1:28 pm and the length of time the moon will be visible will be 11 hours and 57 minutes.
The tidal coefficient today is 73, a high value and therefore the range of tides and currents will also be high. At noon the tidal coefficient increases to 77 to end the day with a tidal coefficient of 80. The tide heights today are 0.3 ft, 0.0 ft, 0.3 ft and 0.0 ft. We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Vaca Key which is of 1.6 ft and a minimum height of -0.7 ft.
The solunar fishing calendar in Vaca Key tells us that today is an average day for fishing, the fish activity forecast is average. Please, read more about solunar tables. The best times of day for fishing are:
Tide timetable for Vaca Key. The times are generated in local time in Florida (Florida keys) and the daylight saving time change is calculated automatically, so you don't need to add or subtract anything. You will also have the lunar phase, sunrise and sunset times, the tidal coefficient and the average fish activity forecast for each day according to the solunar tables:
[ 0 low activity ] , [ average activity ] , [ high activity ] , [ very high activity ]
NOTE: The times reflected in the tide table for Vaca Key are tide forecasts only valid as references for sport fishing. They shouldn't be used as a guide for navigation. The heights are expressed in feet referenced to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).
MLLW is the average of the lower low water height of each tidal day observed over the official time segment over which tide observations are taken and reduced to obtain mean value (Tidal Datum Epoch).

About Us
The Consulting Club at Baylor College of Medicine comprises of advanced degree candidates from Baylor and other Texas Medical Center institutions who want to apply their substantial analytical skills in the field of strategic consulting. Members are Ph.D. candidates, M.D. candidates or postdoctoral researchers.
Consulting firms are increasing their recruitment of ADCs, recognizing the value of our years of experience in hypothesis-driven analytical approach, out-of-the-box thinking and the ability to 'see the big picture' in our projects. A career as a consultant is both demanding and highly-rewarding.
Our goal is to act as a resource-hub for advanced degree candidates from around the TMC who are interested in exploring consulting as a career option.
We realize that, with limited access to business-school resources in the TMC area, ADCs in this region have significant difficulties in navigating the consulting recruitment process. Our Consulting Club helps its members in this regard by organizing workshops and case competitions, providing study materials and facilitating their networking with top consulting firms in the Houston area. In the year and half of the club's existence, our members have been selected for interviews and internships at top consulting firms in and around Houston.

328. The Increased Salience of Corruption in East and Central Europe: The Role of the EU and Other International OrganizationsJul 07, 2011
October 2006 - Over the past decade, corruption seems to have become an issue dominating political discourse in East and Central Europe (ECE). Every day, the press offers multiple stories about high-level corruption scandals as well as petty street-level corrupt practices. It, covers statements, studies, and decisions regarding the fight against corruption that emerge from the government, opposition parties, or international organizations. This increased anti-corruption rhetoric has led some observers to argue that the region has become "obsessed with corruption." more
232. The Politics of the EU's Eastward EnlargementJul 07, 2011
April 2001- The European Union's (EU) eastward enlargement is said to be a well-designed strategy aimed at overcoming the divisions in Europe and strengthening the process of European integration. This paper will question the very essence of this claim. It will, first, show that the EU's policies towards the candidate states from Eastern Europe emerge more by default than by design. Second, it will show that the EU's policies, while overcoming some divisions in Europe, also created new ones. And third, it will show that widening the Union makes its deepening quite difficult. In other words, the long-term vision of a highly integrated European federation is being challenged by the enlargement project. more
344. Macedonia and its Hurdles on the Road to the European UnionJul 07, 2011
January 2008 - The integration of Macedonia into the European Union and NATO becomes a more complex issue every day. The reasons behind this complexity can be found both within Macedonia and outside its borders. However, at this moment the chief issue seems to be the fact that EU member states—vigilantly protecting their own interests first—tend to disagree on many issues related to Macedonia's readiness to accede to the EU. This has significantly slowed down the process of reaching an agreement on Macedonia's swift integration into the European Union. more
280. The European Union, the Balkans and Turkey: Can "Soft Power" Bring Stability and DemocracyJul 07, 2011
October 2003 - The European Union (EU) is widely recognized as the international actor with the most potential influence in promoting ethnic reconciliation, shoring up democracy and supporting the economic revitalization of the Balkans. The EU's influence is immediate—providing humanitarian aid, economic assistance, market access and political support. It is also long-term—shaping the tenor of domestic politics by offering the prospect of EU membership. The prospect of EU membership may be more diffuse, but it is ultimately more powerful. It provides substantial and consistent incentives for political moderation and reform on the part of elites in the Balkans and also in Turkey. The World Bank's 2001 report noted that its strategy for the region is "built upon the assumption that a credible commitment to integration with European and global structures, especially the European Union, is a critical ingredient of success, as it will serve as an external driver of reform and intra-regional integration." more
306. The End of PostcommunismJul 07, 2011
September 2004 - On May 1, 2004, ten countries joined the European Union (EU). On the day of the accession, the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary all had Central-Left governments in power. One day later, Leszek Miller, the Polish premier was forced to resign. In June, Czech social democrat Prime Minister, Vladimir Spidla followed suit, and in August, the head of the Center-Left government of Hungary, Peter Medgyessy, was also forced to resign. "Too weak," "lacks energy," "cannot communicate effectively"—these were some of the accusations lodged against them. In spite of the fact that all three leaders where very popular at the beginning of their terms, it appeared that the initial success of their materialist-redistributive politics faded quickly. None of these countries was in bad shape economically—on the contrary, they were experiencing economic booms—yet political observers sensed that there was a crisis in the leadership. This situation had clear ties to EU accession. A national consensus supported the European accession almost everywhere: EU membership seemed logical and would clearly serve the common good. So, once the long-held goal of EU accession was achieved, why did these governments collapse? Was it just coincidence that all three were replaced by much younger prime ministers with very different outlooks from their predecessors? The answers to these questions are directly related to the fact that EU enlargement has brought the region to a new stage in its development, and one in which the former communists need to redefine their political roles. Indeed, this stage could be interpreted as the end of postcommunism. more
Environmental Security: A View from EuropeJul 07, 2011
We must reinvigorate the comprehensive—and reject the exclusively militaristic—definition of security, Margaret Brusasco-Mackenzie warns. more
326. Europe as Empire: The Nature of the Enlarged European UnionJul 07, 2011
September 2005 - For the last decade, I have tried to understand the evolving nature of European integration and the process of EU enlargement. These two themes led me to the topic of empires. An empire is for me a complex paradigm describing the nature of the emerging European polity. My paradigm is empirically grounded, and it relates to the situation of today. I do not intend to suggest any historical analogy by using the term neo-medieval. There was hardly any democracy or market economy in the Middle Ages. There was at the time a Holy Roman Empire, but students of the Middle Ages argue that it was neither Roman, nor holy, nor even an empire. more
221. The Southeastern Enlargement of the European Union: What is at Stake for Croatia and SloveniaJul 07, 2011
December 2000- When Croatia and Slovenia declared independence from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1991, they surpassed all other Yugoslav republics in their readiness to enter European institutions, due to their Hapsburg legacies, geographical locations and advanced civic and entrepreneurial traditions. Leaders of the independence movements of both countries made euphoric proclamations of their "return to Europe" after being held "captive" in Balkan federations. more
342. Greece, the Western Balkans and the European UnionJul 07, 2011
November 2007 - The Wilson Center's East European Studies program, in cooperation with the American College of Thessaloniki, the University division of Anatolia College, held a workshop November 30-December 1, 2007, which aimed at trouble-shooting the complex process of European integration of the Western Balkans. This meeting was sponsored by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. Discussions built upon the dual premise that EU accession holds the best hope for overcoming stagnation in the Western Balkans and that the traditional enlargement process is not working in the region. The US, the EU and neighboring countries, such as Greece, certainly have much to contribute in reinvigorating this process, and coordinating their policies seems to be of paramount importance. more
276. EU Enlargement: Implications for US Trade and International Financial PoliciesJul 07, 2011
EU Enlargement, now scheduled to take place in May 2004, will involve the addition of ten states: Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia. I will highlight the potential benefits of enlargement as well as the possible areas of contention between the EU and US stemming from the enlargement process. more

Results of a 6-month, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study of patients who had successfully completed an EE study and showed endoscopically confirmed EE.

With Typhoon Maysak passing through our region along with other weather that formed more recently, I was speaking with some friends and family about storms, historical data (from memory only) and what, if anything, they noticed that may have been changing regarding how and where storms were forming.
Our community thanks the members of the U.S. Coast Guard, Guam Fire Department and Naval Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 25 for rescuing a distressed swimmer near Pågat Cave on Sunday.
Editor's note: The following information is a news release from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Sharps are a type of biomedical waste used to deliver medications or cut tissue. Sharps include syringes, injection devices and scalpels. Sharps can also include glass or plastic with human waste on it like test tubes or microscope slides.
Until Gov. Eddie Calvo's administration can demonstrate to this community that it will follow the instructions of the District Court of Guam and its appointed solid waste receiver, GovGuam has no business running solid waste operations.
Just about everywhere in society today we now hear something about being "tolerant" or making sure that everyone is "equal." But tolerant and transparent, we find, the Guam legislature is not.
Whatever your faith or sexual orientation, what happened in Utah on March 12 should make you proud to be an American. That's the day Utah Gov. Gary Herbert signed into law groundbreaking legislation -- Senate Bill 296 -- protecting LGBT people from discrimination in housing and employment while also providing exemptions for religious institutions and protections for religious speech.
Gov. Eddie Calvo and elected officials must work with the Guam Housing and Urban Renewal Authority to urgently expand the agency's public housing assistance programs. Long wait times -- some for as long as three years -- are taking a toll on Guam families in need of assistance.
Laws concerning the family aren't established in a vacuum. That is, family laws reflect and incorporate the unique history, culture and religious beliefs of each country, and frequently that of smaller subdivisions of the country, such as states or territories. For those of us living in a particular place, we take these influences for granted and have a difficult time detecting and identifying them within our laws. We are blind to the obvious.
The spread of invasive species is one of the greatest threats to the island's environment, economy, public health and way of life.
On St. Patrick's Day, every one is Irish. And while 4.5 million Irish emigrated to American between 1820-1930, most intermarried with others from different countries and cultures to the point that it is difficult for any of today's 320 million American to call themselves pure Irish, except once a year when they are looking for an excuse to enjoy excessive amounts of adult beverages.
In celebration of Women's History Month, allow me to remember and honor the legacy of Cecilia Cruz Bamba, founder of the Guam Memorial Hospital Volunteers Association.
Many in the community feel that the people of Guam, by virtue of their loyalty to the U.S. flag, should be allowed to vote for the president. They feel that the people of Guam have earned that right due to their suffering in World War II and the island boys who gave their lives in service to America.
Due to a recent episode of John Oliver's political satire HBO series "Last Week Tonight," there has been renewed discussion about how the American president is elected. The episode's premise, a premise supported by many on Guam, is that U.S. territories are not equal to the U.S. mainland because U.S. citizens in the territories are denied the right to vote for president.
In Guam, one out of four adults is a smoker, even though smoking remains the leading cause of preventable deaths and diseases in the United States. It kills about 480,000 Americans each year. For every person who dies from a smoking-related disease, about 30 more people suffer at least one serious illness from smoking. Nearly 70 percent of smokers say they want to quit.
The United Nations declared 2015 the "International Year of Soil" for the purpose of educating the public about the importance of soils, the most precious natural resources around the world. In this regard and to follow up on my previous articles, I would like to introduce the third soil "order" from the soil classification system for the purpose of contributing to the public knowledge.
"In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for. As for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican," H.L. Mencken, the acerbic columnist and social critic, once wrote.
Police in Charlottesville, Virginia, announced Monday that they were suspending their investigation of an alleged rape in 2012 at a fraternity party at the University of Virginia. The controversial story was first reported last November as all but proven fact by Rolling Stone magazine (which has since acknowledged flaws in its reporting).
The government of Guam's continuing efforts to delay much-needed repairs and improvements to Route 4 -- which it had agreed to do under federal receivership -- show it isn't ready to come out of receivership.
It's been a whirlwind week with the advance team visit of the Maori delegation from New Zealand as part of their preparations for FestPac 2016. The three-member team included Darrin Haimona, head of delegation; Muriwai Ihakara, manager; and Tanea Heke, project manager FestPac 2016.
The conventional wisdom is that today's young people are pro-choice. After all, Baby Boomers and Gen Xers, in their youth, were all in for abortion rights.
The Republicans have a real opportunity to connect with voters and win big in 2016. To do so, they'll have to get over their traditional love for Big Business, but the prospects don't look bright.
The island's police chief was in the hot seat yesterday, answering questions during a legislative oversight hearing about Guam Police Department's troubled crime lab and problems with the evidentiary control facility.
Last Saturday I spent the day with more than 30 Iwo Jima veterans, and their families, on the remote and historically famous island of Iwo Jima. This was my third trip to the island and was the 70th anniversary of the famous World War II battle.
It comes as bad news to many that Pope Francis' tenure at the Vatican might be short. But there are probably some Catholics in this country who gave a silent cheer when Francis intimated recently that "the Lord has placed me here for a short time" -- especially the surprisingly numerous Catholics who are leaders in the Republican Party.
For kids in one New York City public elementary school, a dream came true last month: The principal banned homework.
The governor's office and the police chief must explain to our community why the administration's executive security is resulting in high overtime costs. Executive security provides round-the-clock security for Gov. Eddie Calvo, Lt. Gov. Ray Tenorio, first lady Christine Calvo and Tenorio's wife, Naoko Shimizu.
It is heartwarming to have witnessed the pope in his audience to the Neocatechumenal Way, which aired March 6. The occasion, the blessing of the 220 families of The Way who were ready to go on a mission or "missio ad gentes" to all nations, from Thailand to Papua New Guinea, from Australia to France, from Ukraine to Vietnam. A true gift of providence that does great good to the church of today, said the pontiff.
On Sunday night, HBO aired the final episode in its documentary, "The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst," about real-estate dynasty scion Robert Durst, long suspected in several murders.
The warning letter by 47 Republican senators to Iran's leaders about any deal reached with President Obama spurred the White House to claim the senators had interfered with ongoing negotiations. While a bold departure from previous practice, it falls short of what some call treason.
Regional migrants who work in Guam are valued and essential to our economy, yet many face barriers that result in a high rate of unemployment.
In the Catholic Bible (2 Maccabees 12:39-46), relics-an idol of Jamina were found under the coats of slain Jewish soldiers by Judas/Judah Maccabee, the son of Mattahias, a Jewish priest. He admitted that God was "just" in the slaying of the soldiers since the idols were being worshipped other than God.
SEOUL -- The world leaders have gathered at the United Nations in New York to take stock of progress on gender equality since a landmark conference in Beijing declared women's rights as human rights 20 years ago. It's obvious that, despite gains, challenges abound. One of them is people's attitude toward women.
This nation's appetite for technology is insatiable, and an unprecedented era of innovation has revolutionized how we live in less than a generation. From the smart phone and Wi-Fi in the tech world, to the mapping of the human genome and life-saving drugs in the medical world, these advances help us to live better, and longer, lives.
Gov. Eddie Calvo and lawmakers need to support the Guam Veterans Commissions renewed efforts get island veterans registered. This will not only better ensure vets get deserved benefits, it also will give a better count of the islands veterans.
Recently, I returned from an 18-day trip to Vietnam. Along with 15 other aging Americans, I toured from the northern city of Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon, in the south.
Congresswoman Madeleine Bordallo's effort to reduce residency requirements for Guam's governor, lieutenant governor, senators and mayors through an Organic Act Amendment is troublesome and gives rise as to its motivation.
It appears that politicians can see a yellow light when they need to. Facing a close runoff election and a ticked off electorate, Mayor Rahm Emanuel finally relented recently and promised to remove 50 red light cameras that made Chicago the country's largest speed trap. While citizens have complained for years, Emanuel only saw the light when polls showed he could lose re-election to a relative unknown.
To fulfill its promise of being a government is that it is of, for and by the people, our national leaders must end the voting discrimination for Americans who live in Guam and the other territories.
With the exception of Puerto Rico, the votes of the U.S. citizens of Guam and other flag territories in the election for president would have little impact.
The subject of Guam in the significance we hold to the U.S. president is pathetic and needs to change. This topic comes as a special interest to me personally, as my American government class had spent the past week examining and deliberating on the relationship between the Unites States and Guam, pros and cons considered.
As citizens of the United States of America, the people of Guam and the other U.S. territories should certainly be able to vote for president and have full representation in Congress. This is an important right for any U.S. citizen, and I believe that this issue, and many other longstanding legacy issues we have with the United States, can be addressed by resolving our political status and deciding for ourselves how we want to be affiliated with the United States.
The question of the week is "Should United States Citizen's residing on Guam be able to vote for the President of the United States?" and the answer should be a very simple "yes." Technically, we shouldn't even be thinking more then a second on the answer to this question, nor should we be reconsidering our response.
There is a very famous urban legend about a test question that asked physics students to determine the height of a building by using a barometer.
Today we join the proud parents, coaches and cheering fans to celebrate our athletes participating in the Special Olympics.
My recent observations about gender identity have elicited a variety of comments. One reader kindly went to the trouble of submitting a written response that ... contained the following plea: "Families, please do not reject your questioning or LGBTQ children or treat them with hostility. Do not tell them they are evil, sinful, or unwanted. Be compassionate and loving. Remind them that their lives are precious to all of us."
Lately, every time I read the newspaper, there are negative portrayals and even more negative comments about FSM immigrants. These negative portrayals range from crimes committed -- which seem to note ethnicity only when FSM, otherwise, the criminal is simply a man or woman with no ethnicity -- or remarks by an official about all the problems brought by FSM immigrants.
For now, 12-year-old Morgan Geyser and 13-year-old Anissa Weier of Waukesha, Wisconsin, are facing prosecution as adults for the near fatal stabbing of their sixth-grade classmate Payton Leutner after a birthday celebratory sleep-over. The two girls reportedly acted out of fear that the fictional villain Slender Man would harm them or their families unless they complied with his sacrificial demand.
As we come to the end of the 10th national Sunshine Week effort, let us all commit to the important role we play as citizens in holding our public and elected officials accountable. We are a nation, as President Abraham Lincoln put it, with a government that is "of the people, by the people, for the people."

Introduction to the MeeGo Software Platform
MeeGo is a vehicle for fostering mobile innovations through an open collaborative environment, promoting the exchange of ideas and source code, peer review, unifying development from across multiple device categories and driving contributions and technical work upstream to various open-source projects.
In addition, MeeGo contributes to Linux as a technical platform, as it combines mobile development resources that recently were split in the Maemo and Moblin Projects into one well-supported, well-designed project that addresses cross-platform, cross-device and cross-architecture development. Dozens of traditional Linux mobile and desktop efforts use many of the components used by MeeGo. They all benefit from the increased engineering efforts on those components. This is the power of the open-source development model.
The Linux Foundation (www.linuxfoundation.org) hosts the MeeGo Project as an open-source project, provides a vendor-neutral collaboration environment and encourages community contributions in line with the best practices of the open-source development model.
The Linux Foundation and MeeGo meet on various key points:
Accelerating the adoption of Linux.
Promoting collaboration between industry players and the Open Source community.
Unifying divergent efforts toward the benefits of a strong Linux platform.
Promoting a truly open Linux platform and improving Linux as a technical platform.
Encouraging companies to drive their contributions and technical work upstream.
As owner of the MeeGo trademark, the Linux Foundation also is driving the creation of a MeeGo compliance program that will allow ISVs and OSVs to go through the compliance program and have their applications, distributions, devices and so on certified as MeeGo-compliant. Figure 5 illustrates the benefits of the compliance program to various players in the MeeGo ecosystem. MeeGo will enable applications developed with the MeeGo API to run on all devices running MeeGo-compliant OSes with segment-specific adaptations.
The Linux Foundation contributes to the MeeGo Project through its coordination efforts, overseeing MeeGo events; hosting a number of MeeGo-related technologies, services and collaboration tools; in addition to various marketing, legal, PR and other support activities. Furthermore, the Linux Foundation employs the maintainers of the cross-toolchain used by MeeGo and contributes the optimizations for multi-architecture support in the build service.
15 MeeGo Facts
Full open-source project.
Hosted under the auspices of the Linux Foundation.
Aligned closely with upstream projects—MeeGo requires that submitted patches also be submitted to the appropriate upstream project and be on a path for acceptance.
Offers a complete software stack.
Provides reference UX implementations.
Governed according to best practices of open-source development.
Offers equal opportunities for all players and enables them to participate in the evolution of the software platform and to build their own assets on MeeGo.
Lowers complexity for targeting multiple device segments.
Offers differentiation abilities through UX customization.
Provides a rich cross-platform development environment and tools.
Offers a compliance program to certify software stacks and application portability.
Supports multiple hardware architectures.
Supports multiple app stores.
Has no contributor agreements to sign.
Has more than 1,000 committed professional developers and hundreds of open-source developers.
MeeGo is a fully open-source software platform, hosted under the auspices of the Linux Foundation, and governed according to best practices of open-source development. Open mailing lists, discussion forums and contribution are open to all. It offers the best of Moblin and the best of Maemo to create a platform for multiple hardware architectures covering the broadest range of device segments.
MeeGo offers several opportunities to participate and help shape the future of the next-generation Linux platform. It will accelerate the adoption of Linux on mobile devices, Netbooks, pocket mobile devices, in-vehicle entertainment centers, connected TVs and mobile phones by implementing a truly open Linux platform across multiple architectures for next-generation computing devices. It is an open collaborative project between the project founders (Intel and Nokia), the community and various commercial and noncommercial partners bringing thousands of developers to work entirely out in the open, driving their contributions and technical work upstream making Linux the platform of choice for mobile computing devices.

A mergers and acquisition (M & A) transaction, in many ways, is no different than selling a product or service. The difference, of course, is that the typical M & A transaction is much larger than the normal product or service sale and more risks are involved with the purchase or sale of a business or large asset. Therefore, to prepare for a sale, you should consider these four items.
Hiring new employees is always a challenge. Whether it's an overload of resumes or a lack of qualified applicants, finding the right person for the job isn't easy, even at large corporations. With that in mind, here are four quick tips for entrepreneurs preparing for their first major round of hiring.
An entry-level job can be a great opportunity to learn and grow from if you make the most of the experience. Focus on these first-job tips and soon you'll be on your way up the ladder.
As I stepped to the stage at the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson's 18th Annual Rainbow PUSH Wall Street Project Economic Summit to be part of a panel discussion about the need for more diversity in the venture capital industry in front of an audience of primarily African American business owners, it was not lost on me that I am a middle-aged white male and that everyone else on the panel was white as well.
On January 27, JumpStart set up shop at Market Garden Brewery in Ohio City for a sold-out event aimed at helping entrepreneurs and small business owners build viable brands that resonate with customers.
Since its public unveiling in November 2014, Beegit already has more than 50 customers in more than 30 countries. CEO Mike Cottrill recently sat down with JumpStart to discuss his rapidly growing venture, as well as his former life as a journalist and the importance of learning from each and every mistake.
Sales continues to play a critical role for most businesses; however, many of these businesses are struggling to recruit new salespeople and it's having a real impact on their bottom line. According to The Wall Street Journal, employers spent an average of 41 days trying to fill technical sales jobs in 2014, compared with an average of 33 days for other positions. So, why is it so hard to fill sales jobs these days?
In January, 2015 JumpStart portfolio company MedCity Media announced that it had been acquired by Breaking Media, a leading digital media company that already owns several popular b-to-b sites including Dealbreaker and Above the Law. In the wake of this exciting deal, MedCity CEO Chris Seper sat down with JumpStart to answer a few questions about the past, present and future of the company he founded five years ago.
Job seekers spend most of their time preparing answers for their big interview, but asking smart questions at the right time is just as important when you're trying to show that you've come to play. Here are a few quick tips that will help you switch things up and interview the employer while they are interviewing you.
LinkedIn is the number one social tool for both job seekers and employers. Whether you are connecting with a potential employer, a future co-worker or an existing client, your LinkedIn profile is the place to show off your biggest accomplishments and future ambitions.
It's a new year, which means a whole new list of resolutions. For some, this includes a fresh start at a new job. If you're one of these January job hunters, don't start out your search with the same old tired material. Instead, refresh your resume for 2015 with these five helpful ideas.
For young businesses, financial forecasting is often an overwhelming undertaking. Learning how to build and present financial projections that attract the attention of bankers and investors without venturing into unrealistic territory can be a difficult task to master.
Rocky River startup Sociagram is poised to hit big with GiftGram, a program that allows users to record "super-awesome" personal video messages that are timed to arrive the moment a gift is delivered to their loved one's door.
If you took our advice earlier this month, you may be ramping up your job search during this hectic time of year. Good for you, you are already ahead of the game! Still, communicating with busy or distracted employers during the holidays can sometimes be frustrating.

Greetings from the NYBC Sangha
The sangha members of the New York Buddhist Church welcome you to join us in hearing, learning and practicing the Buddha-Dharma.
The New York Buddhist Church (NYBC) is a temple of Jodoshinshu True Pure Land School Buddhism, whose head temple is Nishi-Hongwanji Temple in Kyoto, Japan. Shinran Shonin (1173-1262) is the founder of this school of Buddhism.
The NYBC has been serving the New York community since 1938, and was founded by Rev. Hozen Seki with the assistance of his wife, Satomi, and concerned lay people. They all wished to share the Buddha-Dharma in America's most populous city, which then had no center for Jodoshinshu Buddhism. Their wishes have flourished as today we continue to share the Buddha-Dharma here in New York.
May the Wisdom and Compassion of Amida Buddha touch your heart so that you may be awakened to the world of True Dharma with Nembutsu.

Answer #1dandd November 01, 2009, 18:55Master
If your timing chain snapped your car would not run, even for 5 seconds. The fact that you had a Check Engine Light come on means that you most likely have a code, so, get the code and start tracing the problem from there.
Answer #2sinautoscan.com November 01, 2009, 19:55Master
if the engine light came on i would get a diagnostic it may be a sensor causing your car not to start thats the least expensive thing you can do and it will give you the best outcome.

SoCal mango tree updates?
I will be planting three or four mangoes this coming spring. Ive read several good threads here regarding varieties. Most of the posts discussed plans, purchases or recent plantings with a few from long time growers like mangodog. Are there any updates from all those plantings in 2005 and 2011?
Im leaning towards ataulfo, alphonso and haden based on flavor, lack of fiber and vigorous growth. Lots of poor clay soil here in inner carlsbad. Will also try several ataulfo from seed. Id like to space the seasons out but would rather have a healthy crop from a fast grower than a stingy, straggly, slow growing or frozen dead tree.
This is my ataulfo. I've had it for several years but last year is the first time I got fruit. Dogs ate the one and only surviving mango, though. This time, I fed it fish several times in the preceding year. I buried heads and used an emulsion. The fruit at the bottom right is about the size of a walnut. That is the biggest and the other ones all over the tree fall in somewhere between the other fruit pictured.
Thanks for the thread and the pic. It's impressive to see that folks are growing mango successfully in your area.
But I do have to admit to some satisfaction at seeing what I'm assuming is cold damage on the edges of some leaves. Satisfaction because here in zone 6 there are so many things that get killed back by the winters that I always need a reminder that where ever you are, even Southern California, there are things that are challenging to grow.

Cinder Block Raised beds freeze and break?
I am very near buying stuff to build cinder block raised beds and see a lot of comments here on using them, but I have one question that I have not had good luck finding an answer to... If you're in a climate with harsh winters (zone 5, bordering 4), if you fill the holes in the cinder blocks to plant things in, will the cinder blocks crack/break over winter from the freezing and thawing of the soil in the holes?
I'm in zone 5.
I have compost in the cinder blocks - and they have now been filled for one season thus far. No problem with breakage.
My blocks are only two blocks high though; mostly used it as a retaining wall but I still use it to plant in.
Here is a link that might be useful: My Garden Blog
I'll probably only go one or two courses high as well. I got to wondering about this and asked a local cinder block supplier when price checking and he seemed to think they would break, so I figured I'd check with others doing this to see what's been seen in practice.

How The United Fruit Company Shaped the World

If you only read a handful of nonfiction books this year, [ Bananas! ] is among your recommended five portions." The Observer
In this gripping exploration of corporate manuevering and subterfuge, Peter Chapman shows how the importer United Fruit set the precedent for the institutionalized power and influence of today's multinational companies. Bananas! is a sharp and lively account of the rise and fall of this infamous company, arguably the most controversial global corporation ever from the jungles of Costa Rica to the dramatic suicide of its CEO, who leapt from an office on the forty-fourth floor of the Pan Am building in New York City. From the marketing of the banana as the first fast food, to the company's involvement in an invasion of Honduras, the Bay of Pigs crisis, and a bloody coup in Guatemala, Chapman weaves a dramatic tale of big business, political deceit, and outright violence to show how one company wreaked havoc in the banana republics" of Central America, and how terrifyingly similar the age of United Fruit is to our age of rapid globalization.
