The East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), also known as the Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP), Turkistan Islamic Movement (TIM), and other names,[a] is an Islamic terrorist and separatist organization founded by Uyghur militants in western China. Its stated goals are the independence of East Turkestan from China. According to the Chinese government, it is a violent separatist movement and is often responsible for terrorist attacks in Xinjiang.[4] According to Chinese report, published in 2002, between 1990 to 2001 ETIM had reportedly committed over 200 acts of terrorism, resulting in at least 162 deaths and over 440 injuries.[5] Since the September 11 attacks, the group has been designated as a terrorist organization by Kazakhstan, United Arab Emirates,[6] China, and the United States.[7]
"We have to conquer our own country and purify it of all infidels. Then, we should conquer the infidels' countries and spread Islam. The infidels who are usurping our countries have announced war against Islam and Muslims, forcing Muslims to abandon Islam and change their beliefs." - Abdullah Mansour, leader of the Uyghur separatist movement Turkistan Islamic Party (East Turkestan Islamic Movement), from "The Duty of Faith and Support," Voice of Islam/al-Fajr Media Center, August 26, 2009.[8]
The area known as East Turkestan had been a protectorate of China as early as 60 BC[citation needed], though there are numerous periods of independence from China. In the 18th century the Qing Dynasty reorganized the territory as a province, Xinjiang.[9] Yet, Russian influence was strong. Russian Orthodox Old Believers emigrated from Russia to Xinjiang in the early 19th century, and the Russian Civil War accelerated this immigration by adding white émigrés.[10] During China's warlord era in the 1910s-1920s, the Soviet Union propped up the separatist Second East Turkestan Republic, and only accepted Chinese rule when the Chinese communists established the People's Republic of China after the Chinese Civil War.[11] Nevertheless, the Soviet Union distributed Soviet passports among the Central Asian ethnics in Xinjiang to facilitate emigration to Kazakh SSR.[10] After the Sino-Soviet split, the Soviet Union amassed troops on the Russian border with Xinjiang, and bolstered "East Turkestan" separatist movements, which received moral and material support from other regional militant groups.[12] China accused the Soviets of engineering riots, and improved the military infrastructure there to combat it.[10]
The East Turkestan Islamic Movement was founded in 1993 by two natives of Hotan, but it failed to last to year's end. Hasan Mahsum and Abudukadir Yapuquan reorganized the movement in 1997, in the same form that it exists today.[13] In 1998 Mahsum moved ETIM's headquarters to Kabul, taking shelter under Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. In Afghanistan, ETIM leaders met with Osama bin Laden and other leaders of Al Qaeda, the Taliban, and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan to coordinate actions. There, the East Turkestan Islamic Movement dropped the "East" from its name as it increased its domain.[14] The group's infrastructure was crippled after the United States invaded Afghanistan and bombed Al Qaeda bases in the mountainous regions along the border with Pakistan, during which the leader of ETIM, Hasan Mahsum, was killed.[15]
However, ETIM resurged after the Iraq War inflamed mujaheddin sentiment.[16] It expanded its portfolio to attacks on United States interests, such as the U.S. embassy in Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan).[citation needed] The United States Department of State responded by listing it as a terrorist organization.[citation needed] This greatly weakened ETIM, as it lost sympathy from many Western organizations who would otherwise support its struggle against China.[citation needed] Nonetheless, ETIM circulated a video in 2006 calling for a renewed jihad, and took advantage of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing to gain publicity for its attacks.[14] The ETIM is said to be allied with the Pakistani Taliban (Tehreek i Taliban Pakistan) leading Pakistan being seriously urged by China to take action against militants.[17]
Al-Qaeda support
Al Qaeda appointed TIP (ETIM) member Abdul Haq al Turkistani to their Shura Majlis.[18] Al Qaeda also appointed TIP (ETIM) member Abdul Shakoor Turkistani as military commander of their forces in the FATA region of Pakistan.[19]
TIP (ETIM) issued a eulogy for Doku Umarov of the Caucasian Emirate upon his death.[20][21][22]
TIP (ETIM) sent the "Turkistan Brigade" (Katibat Turkistani) to take part in the Syrian Civil War, most noticeably in the 2015 Jisr al-Shughur offensive.[23][24][25] TIP (ETIM) members in Syria fight alongside the Al-Qaeda branch Al Nusrah Front and have carried out suicide bombings in the conflict.[26][27]
Turkish connections were used by Uyghur fighters to go into Syria and the humanitarian Uyghur Eastern Turkistan Education and Solidarity Association (ETESA) which is located in Turkey sent Uyghurs into Syria, endorsed the killing of the pro-China Imam Juma Tayir, applauded attacks in China, and posted on its website content from the TIP.[28]
The NEFA Foundation, an American terrorist analyst foundation, translated and released a jihad article from ETIM, whose membership it said consisted primarily of "Uyghur Muslims from Western China." The East Turkestan Islamic Movement's primary goal is the independence of East Turkestan.[29] ETIM continues this theme of contrasting "Muslims" and "Chinese", in a six-minute video in 2008, where "Commander Seyfullah" warns Muslims not to bring their children to the 2008 Summer Olympics, and also saying "do not stay on the same bus, on the same train, on the same plane, in the same buildings, or any place the Chinese are".[30]
Terrorism expert Rohan Gunaratna has said that ETIM is closely associated with the World Uyghur Congress (WUC), and that there are "many sympathizers and supporters" of ETIM in the WUC. China has accused the WUC of orchestrating the 2009 ethnic violence in Urumqi; similarly, Gunaratna said that one of ETIM's aims is to "fuel hatred" and violence between the Han and the Uyghur ethnic groups, adding that it represented a threat to China and the Central Asia region as a whole.[31]
In October 2008, the Chinese Ministry of Public Security released a list of eight terrorists linked to ETIM, including some of the leadership, with detailed charges.[32] They are:

The United States captured 22 Uyghur militants from combat zones in Afghanistan in 2006 on information that they were linked to Al-Qaeda.[36] They were imprisoned without trial for five to seven years, where they testified that they were trained by ETIM leader Abdul Haq, at an ETIM training camp. After being reclassified as No Longer Enemy Combatant,[37] a panel of judges ordered them released into the United States. Despite the alarm of politicians that the release of terrorist camp-trained Uyghurs into the United States was unsafe and illegal, they could not be released back to China because of its human rights record.[38] Some of the Uyghurs have been transferred to Palau, and some to Bermuda despite objections by the United Kingdom, but the United States is having difficulties finding governments who will accept the rest.[39]
In 2007, ETIM militants in cars shot Chinese nationals in Pakistani Balochistan and sent a videotape of the attack to Beijing, in retaliation for an execution of an ETIM official earlier that July.[40] ETIM also took credit for a spate of attacks before the 2008 Summer Olympics, including a series of bus bombings in Kunming, an attempted plane hijacking in Urumqi,[37] and an attack on paramilitary troops in Kashgar that killed 17 officers.[41] On June 29, 2010, a court in Dubai convicted two members of an ETIM cell of plotting to bomb a government-owned shopping mall that sold Chinese goods. This was the ETIM plot outside of China or Central Asia. The key plotter was recruited during Hajj and was flown to Waziristan to train.[42] In July 2010, officials in Norway interrupted a terrorist bomb plot, another instance of ETIM branching out of its original regions and cooperating with international groups. New York Times correspondent Edward Wong says that ETIM "give[s] them a raison d'être at a time when the Chinese government has... defused any chance of a widespread insurgency... in Xinjiang."[41]
In October 2013, a suicide attack in Tiananmen Square caused 5 deaths and 38 injuries. Chinese police described it as the first terrorist attack in Beijing's recent history. Turkistan Islamic Party later claimed responsibility for the attack.[43]
Critics say that the threats ETIM itself makes are exaggerated, and that ETIM embellishes its own image and commits psychological warfare against China for its false threats, including forcing it to increase security. Dru C. Gladney, an authority on Uyghurs, said that there was "a credibility gap" about the group since the majority of information on ETIM "was traced back to Chinese sources", and that that some believe ETIM to be part of a US-China quid pro quo, where China supported the US-led War on Terror, and "support of the US for the condemnation of ETIM was connected to that support."[44] The Uyghur American Association has publicly doubted the ETIM's existence.[45]
On June 16, 2009, Representative Bill Delahunt convened hearings to examine how organizations were added to the US blacklist in general, and how the ETIM was added in particular.[46] Uyghur expert Sean Roberts testified that the ETIM was new to him, that it wasn't until it was blacklisted that he heard of the group, and noted that "it is perfectly reasonable to assume that the organization no longer exists at all."[46][dead link] The Congressional Research Service reported that the first published mention of the group was in the year 2000, but that China attributed attacks to it that had occurred up to a decade earlier.[46][dead link]
Stratfor has noted repeated unexplained attacks on Chinese buses in 2008 have followed a history of ETIM targeting Chinese infrastructure, and noted the group's splintering and subsequent reorganization following the death of Mahsum.[47]
Intelligence analysts J. Todd Reed and Diana Raschke acknowledge that reporting in China presents obstacles not found in countries where information is not so tightly controlled. However, they found that ETIM's existence and activities could be confirmed independently of Chinese government sources, using information gleaned from ETIM's now-defunct website, reports from human rights groups and academics, and testimony from the Uyghur detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Reed & Raschke also question the information put out by Uyghur expatriates that deny ETIM's existence or impact, as the Uyghurs who leave Xinjiang are those who object most to government policy, are unable to provide first-hand analysis, and have an incentive to exaggerate repression and downplay militancy. They say that ETIM was "obscure but not unknown" before the September 11 attacks, citing "Western, Russian, and Chinese media sources" that have "documented the ETIM's existence for nearly 20 years".[48]

I have the following problem:
I deploy a web application in Tomcat (Linux) and after shutdown of Tomcat, if I do
ps -ef I still can see the
java process running.
I believe this happens due to some hanging thread but I don't know how can I track this thread down.
How can I debug this issue?
I have the following problem:
You can generate 4-5 thread dumps as described below and then analyze them using tools like Samurai.
What you want to check is when a stuck thread or long running transaction happens, all the thread dumps will show a certain thread id is at the same line in your java stack trace. In simpler terms, the transaction is spanning across multiple thread dumps and hence needs more investigation.
Now when you run these through Samurai, it will highlight these in Red colour so you can quickly click on it and get to the lines showing issues.
See an example of this here. Look at the Samurai output image in that link. The Green cells are fine. Red and Grey cells need looking at.
Generating a Thread Dump:
If the JVM is running in a console then simply press
There process_id is the process number of the running Java process. The thread dump will be sent to wherever standard out is redirected too. You can generally get the process numbers of of all running Java processes with the command:
You say your java process still exists, right? Processes exist as long as they have attached threads, right? If so, I would go for the following approach: - run the process with the MBean server attached and managed internally by the JVM
Then connect to the process after you send the QUIT signal and get the thread dump (there should be a JMX for that. See which threads look suspicious to you.
I think you can also use JVisualVM to take thread dumps...

Bankrupt Kodak to remove name from iconic LA theater
For years, if you tuned in to watch the Academy Awards at some point you would hear the phrase "from the Kodak Theatre." Now, the once dominant film behemoth says it's no longer worth paying $75 million a year to put its name on the door. That's probably a smart move considering the company has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Drug Safety:
Not many people drink or smoke.
Drug Safety:
There was an instance where someone I knew had be caught smoking in his dorm room. Little to no action was taken then. When it happened again, still, nothing was done about it except have his paraphernalia taken away. However, when another friend of mine was caught smoking in his dorm room, he was kicked out of housing in three days and can not come back on campus for three years. This second student had much less on him and in his room than the first student. I'm just saying that the system is pretty messed up and backwards.
Drug Safety:
I really don't hang around campus a lot because I work most of the time after school. From what I have seen there isn't a lot going on.
Drug Safety:
I haven't seen any drug use on campus.
Drug Safety:
It's very seldom where you will see anyone publicly displaying their drug or alcohol use.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
There isn't any pressure to do anything you don't want to, but there are some UALR students who do drugs. You really won't see the drug use itself, but it is clear that some students are participating in the drug scene—the evidence is in their bloodshot eyes, smell of their clothing, and their general behavior.
The University has very strong policies against drug and alcohol. The first offense is usually a fine or something related to that, but really depends on the severity of the violation. Second or several violations could lead to a student getting suspended from the University. However, the good thing about the drug scene at UALR is that not too many students are involved.

"We stayed at the condo for the week of our daughter's wedding on Key West. We enjoyed our stay very much. Yes, it could have been more "updated," but I would not have wanted to pay for that. The price is great as-is and we weren't there to see the condo... We were there to see the keys! Each night after arriving back at the condo, my wife and I went out to the jetty on the far side of the marina where there are lounge chairs, to look up at the beautiful night sky. We saw a beautiful falling star on our first night and our last... We bumped into local "celebrities," had laughs with total strangers, and took with us lots of photographs and memories. The only surprises there were pleasant ones. Thanks Denise, for accommodating our needs as your guests. Oh. One complaint. There are plenty of linens there, but no washcloths. We bought what we needed... No big deal. Looked at buying the unit upstairs from this one. Wish we could. We'll come back!"Guest: Donna D. Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: June 10, 2015View listing
"This was our second stay at this home and will not be our last. My husband and I and our 2 boys, 22 & 25 and a family friend, 21, went diving and fishing an awesome wreck directly out the gulf from this home. Six days of fishing and brought tons of it home. Sunsets are spectacular and the kayaks on the premises provided hours of exploring. This home is very clean and very comfortable. The kitchen provides everything that you will need and the pool is so very relaxing as it overlooks the water. We took pics of the manatee that visits often and hand fed it kale right from the dock...friendly fella. Quiet neighborhood to take a jog or walk the pets. Sunset Grill is a must..excellent food and drinks, atmosphere fun!! We absolutely love this home and we have stayed at many homes over the last 20 years in the Keys, much larger also and this is by far a favorite. Close to Vaca Cut and Capt. Hooks ship store to gas up boat. Real estate office is very friendly and helpful...you will not be disappointed...you will be in paradise."Guest: Nansea Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: August 2, 2014View listing
"Perfect house! Gorgeous inside and out with everything we needed and more. Pool, hot tub and dock were awesome as was all the furniture and seating areas. Daily sightings of three green iguanas on patios and lots of unique sea life right off private dock. Kayaks were a huge bonus! Owner was easy to deal with and we're glad we found this rental. Can't say enough about how impressive our stay was there. Highly recommended!"Guest: Tracy M. Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: June 14, 2015View listing
"This is the fifth or sixth time we have stayed in this unit. Love the quiet yet friendly atmosphere of the surroundings. Very nice and clean unit with everything you need for an extended stay including a small equipped kitchen. The pool is big enough to do laps or just laze around. Love the view from the tiki hut and "The Point" witch extends into the ocean. Only 59 miles to Key West. You have your own private sitting area at the front of the unit with chairs, picnic table and gas grill."Guest: Jerry Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 25, 2015View listing

text: Home > Medical > Kidney and bladder health > News 05 March 2012 Chronic kidney disease on the rise Chronic kidney disease is estimated to affect 15% of the population and is a growing healthcare problem, with 20 000 new patients requiring diagnosis and treatment every year. 0 Follow Health24 on Twitter » What else we do on the loo Medical history Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been estimated to affect as much as 15% of the South African population. According to the National Kidney Foundation of South Africa, it also represents a growing healthcare problem with some 20 000 new patients requiring diagnosis and treatment every year in South Africa. Speaking on the eve of World Kidney Day Noeleen Phillipson, Chief Executive Officer of National Renal Care (NRC) South Africa's largest private renal replacement therapy provider, points out that CKD is a dangerous medical condition, but says that it can be successfully managed if detected timeously. "Kidneys are among our most vital organs as they filter toxins and produce essential chemicals in our bodies," she observes. "When the kidneys stop functioning properly our body becomes toxic and we cannot survive. The difficulty lies in the fact that CKD is an insidious disease - it often goes undetected as many people whose kidneys are dysfunctional do not develop symptoms until their kidneys are close to failing." Jacques du Plessis, Managing Director of Netcare's Hospital Division says this is why it is vital to have your risks of developing the illness assessed regularly by a healthcare practitioner. "This is particularly important for those people who have diabetes or high blood pressure, which are the most common causes of CKD." Free kidney screening at Netcare hospital According to Du Plessis, World Kidney Day is an important opportunity not only to raise awareness about this serious medical condition, but also to provide the public with the means of finding out whether they are at risk. As part of their community outreach initiatives Netcare Universitas Hospital will be hosting a kidney-screening day on World Kidney Day, 8 March 2012. The free tests offered will include blood pressure screening, weight measurement as well as a finger prick creatinine test, used to measure kidney functioning. Phillipson points out that when the kidneys become chronically diseased kidney failure is imminent. Once kidney failure occurs there is no cure for the condition. There is however treatment in the form of dialysis – an artificial replacement of the kidney's filtering process via a machine. At present more than 6 000 patients in South Africa are receiving life-saving dialysis. Symptoms of kidney disease While many people do not develop any symptoms indicating CKD there may be certain indicators, according to Phillipson. Kidney disease sufferers may present with any of the following symptoms on a regular basis: Headaches Drowsiness Poor concentration Nausea Itchiness Metallic taste in the mouth Difficulty sleeping Appetite loss and particularly a loss of appetite for eating meat. Phillipson advises South Africans to visit an NRC Healthy Start healthcare practitioner or their doctor at least once a year to have the recommended kidney health screening tests done. This particularly holds true for individuals with a family history of hypertension, cardiac problems or diabetes. The Healthy Start Programme, which is available at all NRC centres nationwide, is unique to NRC. It is a lifestyle management programme for patients at risk of developing end-stage kidney disease, including patients with a family history of kidney disease. The primary aim of the programme is to help the patient retain the best possible quality of life while remaining as healthy as possible. Preventing kidney disease Phillipson says preventing the development of kidney disease is better than having to seek treatment for it. The correct lifestyle choices can help reduce the risk of kidney disease. Regular exercise, a diet rich in vegetables and fruit and low in salt, potassium and protein can help you keep your kidneys healthy. Giving up smoking and reducing alcohol consumption to one drink a day is also recommended. Medical conditions such as diabetes and hypertension should be strictly managed in consultation with your doctor. High blood pressure can damage the nephrons, the smallestfunctional filtering units of the kidneys, thereby impairing kidney functioning. Kidney disease is a known complication of diabetes. The basic function of the kidneys is to filter waste products from the blood. Diabetes can damage this system. If blood glucose levels are too high, the kidneys must work harder to maintain the necessary filtering processes. High levels of blood sugar make the kidneys filter too much blood. All this extra work is hard on the filters. After many years, they start to leak and useful protein is lost in the urine. TJ Ramanamane, General Manager of the Netcare Universitas Hospital, encourages members of the community to visit Universitas Academic Hospital on Thursday, 8 March 2012 between 08h00 and 13h00. Free kidney-screening will take place in the foyer of the hospital. He says this is an opportunity for members of the public to have themselves tested and learn more about chronic kidney disease, which is affecting many South Africans. "By preventing or detecting kidney problems early on we can save a significant number of lives," he concluded. Please call Christie de Jager at Netcare Universitas Hospital on (051) 506-3500 for further information.

Medicine Man Denver Distribute Quality Marijuana for Medical Purposes
Controversies have gone out throughout the world in response to the declaration of the legalization and prohibition of the use of marijuana in many western countries. This issue has become a talk of everyone who is concerned about the negatives of legalizing the usage of cannabis. Despite the speculations of gaining negative results, the weed sumo demand increases up to three times than the regular demands which is intended for medical purposes.
DEA demands for more supply due to the government's needs for this plant to be used for curing different kinds of ailments. As results of researches which have been done for years, marijuana has proven efficient in eradicating damaged cells causing cancers. The legalization of production of this plant is monitored and controlled to avoid abuse and drug addiction among users of this addictive cannabis which is supposed to be used for medical treatments.
Medicine Man Denver is a family owned business venture providing quality products all at low prices. This company supplies recreated and medical products created out of marijuana. Through this, people can have a variety of choices in trying cannabis. It enables people to choose from their own preference the right product considering their taste and preferences.
Due to high demands for this kind of plant, licenses for industries producing and growing marijuana has been produced. Medicine Man Denver is one of these industries authorized to produce products made of marijuana.
Since production of marijuana is intended for the purpose of creating medicines and many other products to be used for health maintenance, production of this plant is under control to avoid mismanagement of use which may turn to addiction.
Though cannabis is proven to give hallucinations and mental disturbances among users who fail to use this addictive plant, Medicine Man Denver assures that the quality and standards that the company follows are high and the products produced are the best.
In contrast to legalization of planting cannabis, the federal government stresses the negative effects of this marijuana and that planting this addictive plant should not be tolerated as this might bring adverse effects not only to users but in the whole state.
Today, 23 states have been granted with the legalization papers for marijuana production, but are of strict management to prevent misuse which may lead to over distribution and drug addiction in the states which are permitted to production of cannabis.
As the years go on, supplies and demands for marijuana are expected to soar high as researchers continue to find proofs and studies which can help pinpoint the positive effects of marijuana in the human body. Marijuana, being a plant claimed to be curing diseases, not only cancer, but a lot more about diseases, is being subject to legalization in most other states in the world.
Production of cannabis has positive and negative results. Moreover, the government's support will help lessen or get rid of the negatives and use this for medical purposes. To get more information about these matters, visit http://weedsumo.com

2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan E500 Rwd 4dr Sedan (5.0L 8cyl 7A)
the car is beatiful inside and out, however
being at the dealership over 10 times in the
last year has soured my affection for m-b's in
general. the dealership/ service department
is nice enough, but thats not why i purchase
my car. too many problems for a car that cost
over 62,000. previous car was a bmw 330ci,
in the three period i took the car in 3 times.
too much money for such low quality
the style, inside and out. looks great
workmanship, none whatsoever, overall bad
experience over ten times in a year.
uncalled for. now there is a recall on brakes.
will not buy another m-b ever!
2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan E320 Rwd 4dr Sedan (3.2L 6cyl 5A)
The E 320 is by far the best auto I
have ever owned. Stylish fun to drive
and even more importantly dependable.
This car has not had a problem since
day one. I am also getting over 20
miles to the gallon 22 to be exact
which considering the cars performance
is great!
Keyless go is a must! The premium sound
system is a great feature as well.
None. I reccommended this car to a
friend and he thanks me everyday for it!
having spent over $60,000 I expected
more.....car came in with incorrect color. The
car's performance is great - and fun to drive.
BUT, the reliability is not worth it! It's been
back to the dealer countless time for electrical
problems (phone/audio/locks). Wanted
navigation at time of purchase - was not
available. Dealer said I could add later -
turned out to be a lie. Dealer is pathetic and
arrogant. About to turn in for a competitor's
car - unlikely to buy another MB. (this was my
second). Don't waste your money on this car -
better choices out there today.
power, front styling
electrical system, CUSTOMER SERVICE (I had
better with my $15000 Honda).
2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan E500 4MATIC AWD 4dr Sedan (5.0L 8cyl 5A)
Never had a Benz before, but now would
probably not buy anything else again. A
finely built, with quality and
engineering through and through.
Suspension adjustment leaves most
behind me on the hiway, especially
around curves. And you can always get a
comfortable ride when cruising. The
automatic changing of gears, if you
like is really preety neat too.
Just bought one and absolutely LOVE
IT!!! If you go in with the Price
Club deal, any dealership will not
only use it but beat it for 2k less
invoice. It will be my first and last
Mercedes as I'll have this car

World Dance Council
The World Dance Council Ltd (WDC),[1] is a registered limited company, and the legal successor to the International Council of Ballroom Dancing, and was established at a meeting organised by Phillip J. S. Richardson on 22 September 1950 in Edinburgh.[2] For a period from 1996 to 2006, the WDC was known as the World Dance & Dance Sport Council Ltd (WD&DSC).
The primary objective, at the time of its formation, was to provide an agreed basis for holding world championships in competitive ballroom dance. That objective has been achieved. Initially consisting of nine European countries and three others, today the WDC has become the leading authority on professional dance competitions, with members in numerous countries throughout the world. Each country is allowed one vote. As of 2006[update] there are 59 members. Its governing body, the Presidium, consists of a President and five Vice-Presidents.
WDC includes the Dancesport Committee, the Social Dance Committee and the Amateur League.
Mode of operation[edit]
The WDC is democratic in its operation. All major decisions are taken on the basis of one full member, one vote. The full members are (with a few exceptions) individual countries. There are some Affiliate members, such as the Ballroom Dancers Federation International. The WDC operates through a general council and two committees:
- The World Dance Sport Committee regulates professional dancesport.
- The World Social Dance Committee "deals with all matters of the dance profession that relate to the activities of Dance Schools and Dance Teachers".[3] It does not regulate social dance directly: that is the business of individual organisers, the dance teacher organisations, such as the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, and the chains of dance teaching schools in the United States (such as the Arthur Murray organisation).
- On advice from its Coaches Commission,[4] the WDC started the Amateur League in 2007. This regulates and designates the World and continental Amateur championships, and runs a rating system for amateur dancers.
Each member country in the WDC has its own national organisation, such as the British Dance Council, which acts as a forum for the many interested parties in that country. The national bodies decide on their delegates to the WDC.
Overlap with the WDSF (formerly IDSF)[edit]
The WDC is not, however, the only international organization in the field. After a long campaign,[5] the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF), formerly the International Dancesport Federation, was recognized by the International Olympic Committee as the sole representative body for dancesport, on September 5, 1997.[6] At that point, many dance organisations changed their titles to incorporate the word sport. The WDSF is a separate organisation from the WDC, covering some of the same territory, with many of the same members. The special features of the WDSF are: 1. Its origin and majority membership lies in continental Europe.[7] 2. Its Olympic recognition gives it, potentially, a unique status. However, dancesport has not been included as an official event at the Olympics since its recognition,[8] and there are many who doubt that it ever will.[9][10] 3. The WDSF is primarily an organization for amateur dancers, whereas the WDC is primarily for professional dancers.
The WDSF has issued the following:
- "WDC Amateur League Open Amateur World Championships. The 2009 WDC Amateur League Open Amateur World Championships scheduled to be held at Disneyland Paris, France on December 4–6, 2009, is not granted by WDSF and is not registered by the WDSF Member for France, Comite National de Danse Sportive (CNDS). Accordingly the WDSF Presidium may take action against any athlete, adjudicator or other official, person or body associated with WDSF or an WDSF Member, who participates in this competition in any way, without any further notice to any of them." [11]
The WDC Chairman of the Amateur League, Sammy Stopford, has protested vigorously at a proposal of the Italian Dance Sport Federation to limit the freedom of choice for younger dancers.[12]
This is a clear indication of a conflict between the two organisations over which of them is entitled to authorize amateur competitions at world level, and of underlying philosophies about freedom of choice for individual partnerships in ballroom dance.
WDC Events[edit]
These events are under WDC regulation, but organised in various countries each year.
- World Championship – Professional Ballroom
- World Championship – Professional Latin
- World Championship – Professional 10-Dance
- European Championship – Professional 10-Dance
- European Championship – Professional Latin
There are also other events, which are licenced to organising countries, and are open entry.
- WDC Amateur League Open Amateur World Championships & Disney Professional Cups.
- Kremlin World Cup Latin
- World Masters Latin
- WDC World Cup. In 2009, this event in Shenzen, China had over 2000 participants.
In the regulations, the facility is also available for professional competitions in:
- Classic Show Dance
- South American Show Dance
WDC competition rules[edit]
WDC Competition rules differ in various ways from the traditional rules of the English ballroom dancing world as developed by the OBBD (Official Board of Ballroom Dancing, now the Ballroom Dancing Council).
1. The WDC Championships are not open entry championships. The national bodies nominate their best available couples, and only two couples are permitted from any one country (rule 3.2.1). This is a fundamental difference from the English tradition; the main English titles have always been open entry, and still are. The upside of the WDC rule is that organisers can package the event into a predictably brief time-table. This may be important for television coverage, and perhaps for other reasons. The downside is that many outstanding dancers from the stronger countries may never get the chance to participate.
2. At Professional World and Continental championships, only one adjudicator from any one country will be permitted (rule 5.2.6). This means that some of the world's most experienced adjudicators will not be judging, and other adjudicators will be on the floor instead. This avoids nationalistic bias in the panel, but might have some unintended effects.
Competition rule 2.1 currently restricts entry to competitions to couples consisting of a man and a woman, so that Same Sex dancing is currently banned in WDC competitions.

When CloudPets launched their product on a national scale, that launch was supported by compelling branding, an engaged online community and a host of resources ready to support new, happy CloudPets customers.
Maglite's website moved from a site that was outdated and difficult to manage to a branding focused e-commerce site. Now it's easy to purchase the amazing products direct.
To explain a new technology, we created an animated video that attracts and educates a wide audience, from industry experts to laypeople.
"Echo-Factory's followup is just as good as the sales pitch they provided when we were considering them. To me, that's the hallmark of a great partner."
"They make me feel like I'm their only customer."
"They understand what I'm trying to accomplish, and they get it right the first time around."
"They took the time to understand who we are and where we're headed, then developed a marketing plan around achieving those goals."
"They never cease to amaze me in being able to capture what it is I'm looking for, with hardly any explanation at all."
"We get really fantastic service and results from Echo-Factory at a level that's difficult for a small organization like ours to find. Their work raises our brand up beyond the scope of what other small organizations can do."
"Echo-Factory is so essential to our marketing that they've become almost like a branch of our company."
"Echo-Factory just does really good work."
"We've been working with Echo-Factory for more than 5-years, and nothing they've done for us is ever stale."
"Echo-Factory taught themselves the technical side of our industry, so now we rely on that understanding."

Khan may have been playing the victim card, but I never saw any indication that Kirk was buying into that.
Of course not. He's the same guy who blew up the Kelvin Memorial Archive and killed Admiral Pike.
But Kirk doesn't know him beyond being a highly effective and murderous super-soldier. He could have just as easily said "My name... is
Master Chief
!" and it wouldn't had made a lot of difference. The point being Kirk -- and a portion of the audience -- doesn't know what WE know. They don't know what "Khan" means in the context of Star Trek, and they don't know that Khan is actually a much bigger threat than Marcus could ever hope to be.
Which is how Khan winds up besting them in the end. Despite his very reasonable suspicion that Khan could not be trusted (and having Scotty stun him in the end), he was so focused on taking down Marcus that he under-estimated Khan and let him outmaneuver him.
I don't think that all plays out very well, especially for newer viewers since the film never actually explains that Khan was one of Earth's worst tyrants.
I don't see how that's even relevant, especially since anyone who knows how to google would be able to figure that out inside of fifteen seconds (and the more curious viewers would find the title "Space Seed" in their google results and Netflix the entire episode).
It doesn't matter who Khan was in the 21st century. What matters is who Khan was in the Enterprise's timeline. This is why Spock SPECIFICALLY asks OldSpock "Did you ever encounter a man named Khan?" And OldSpock doesn't waste his time with historical background, he tells him exactly what he (and therefore, the audience) needs to know.
Put that another way: when a young fan asks a vet "Was Khan a villain in the old Trek?" the answer will usually be some variation on, "OMG, you don't know? Khan was the BADDEST viallin of the old Trek! He had a whole movie and everything! He even... you know what? Fuck it, we're goin to Best Buy! Today's your lucky day."
Maybe it just didn't work for me like it did for you, because I was rolling my eyes too much over the phone conversation, and how everyone seemed to not be a little curious about why Spock is suddenly speaking to his future self, unless he's been telling everyone about it before the movie started.
There was a deleted scene in STXI where
told everyone about FutureSpock as his explanation for how he got on board the ship (which is basically why they let him stay in charge). Apart from that, there's indications in the comics tie-ins that Kirk and Spock both went and explained it all to the crew afterwards, especially since OldSpock is apparently a pretty big figure in the New Vulcan settlement and hasn't bothered to use an alias.

Greek debt crisis: Above all, it's Europe's reputation that's suffered
If you were of a suspicious mind, you might wonder whether Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras has not lured European leaders and officials into a legal trap. His Byzantine negotiating tactics may make perfect sense after all. Just a thought.

UF/IFAS Polk County
Cooperative Extension Services Director
LAKELAND - John Brenneman, a lifelong resident of Polk County and public servant passed away Monday, June 22nd, 2009 in Lakeland after a long courageous battle with cancer. He was a naturalist, serving the citizens of Polk County at the UF/IFAS Cooperative Extension office for 34 years. He will be remembered for his leadership, kind nature, love of friends and family and service to God.
His selfless devotion to improving local water quality and educating lakefront homeowners are a testimony of his commitment to serving the public with excellence and integrity. John's academic achievements shaped his career in water management and he was known statewide for his knowledge of the industry. He earned both his B.S. in Agriculture and his Masters of Agricultural Management and Resource Development from U.F. He was a certified instructor for the Florida Master Naturalist Program Wetland, Coastal and Upland Modules. With this certification, he assisted rural pond owners in becoming good stewards of their water property. He taught them how to manage surface waters and fisheries to enhance the aesthetics of their pond, while maintaining sound water quality. Utilizing his obvious passion for educating the public, John developed a program to educate lakefront residents entitled, "Living at the Lake." This primer has been used extensively for Florida's lakefront homeowners and by others interested in central Florida's lake resources. John also coordinates the Polk County Extension Water School. This program was designed to provide local officials with valuable information to prepare them for addresses important water issues and policies. For ten years, John worked to educate businesses and residents through the natural resource education program as a multi-county agent. Additionally, John has worked with volunteers associated with the University of Florida's LAKEWATCH program which was designed to monitor water quality in local lakes.
His professional achievements were many including the 1991 National Association of County Agricultural Agents (NACAA) Distinguished Service Award and the 2003 Art Hornsby Distinguished Extension Professional and Enhancement Award. John became director of the Extension Office in 2005 and has provided leadership to the overall Extension program.
John has been married to his wife Terri for 36 years. He was a proud father of one daughter Emily (husband Ronnie Hough, sons Caleb and Walker) and three sons: Jacob (wife Serena), Adam (wife Heather, children Nate and Hanna), and Joseph. He is survived by one sister Mary Alexander. He was preceded in death by his mother Eloise, father Homer, sister Francis Woods, and brothers Mark and Lionel. John served God in many ways during his life including being a Sunday school teacher and Deacon at the First Baptist Church at the Mall in Lakeland. John attributed his scholastic achievements and community interest to the 4-H youth development program his parents entered him into as a child. He often spoke of himself as a case study for the 4-H program that took a shy, overweight, child facing failure in school and supplied him with the life building skills which increased his self esteem, helped him to establish goals, built healthy relationships and instilled in him a desire to make a better community. In 1975 John became the mentor; hiring on as a 4-H and dairy extension agent with the Polk County Extension Service.
Knowing John's deep appreciation for this program has prompted his family to ask that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Polk County 4-H Foundation (PO Box 9005, Drawer HS03, Bartow, FL 33831). Funds will be used to support the youth of Polk County through scholarships and local support. Viewing will be Thursday the 25th from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. with a "celebration of life service" starting at 1:00 p.m. in the Worship Center at the 1st Baptist Church at the Mall, 1010 E. Memorial Blvd. Lakeland, FL 33801.
