Why is An Education rated PG-13?
Official MPAA Rating: An Education is rated PG-13 for for mature thematic material involving sexual content, and for smoking.
The central theme of this movie is the sexual attentions of an older man for a girl who is sixteen going on seventeen. His flattery, lavish gifts and an enticing lifestyle draw her to him, and they do eventually sleep together (the act is not shown, although there are a couple of instances when this couple is seen in bed together). Sex is discussed between this adult and minor on several occasions, including an explicit conversation about first-time intercourse. At a mans suggestion, a girl uncovers her chest so he can look at her. Classical paintings of nude figures are seen. Throughout the film adult and teenaged characters smoke and drink. A teen uses smoking as a way to appear more mature. A man drinks alcohol when he is faced with a particularly difficult task. Several mild profanities and a few moderate profanities are uttered, along with the use of terms of Christian deity as expletives. Some derogatory racial remarks are made about Jews and Negros. Characters lie to others when it suits their own interests. Illegal activities are alluded to, and a theft is depicted.

A Port Clinton city council candidate called police Monday and accused her opponent of removing her political signs so he could replace them with his own, according to the candidate's recorded phone call to police. In a minutes-long phone call at about 7:30 p.m. Monday, the night before the primary election, Karen O'Keeffe told a Port Clinton police dispatcher that her opponent, Ronald Aukerman, was removing her signs.
"He's going to my sites and talking people out of the signs that I have up and he's taking mine down and putting his up," she said. "You know, I'm trying to be nice about this, but this is the third time he's done this. He's just playing dirty. He wants to win."
O'Keeffe and Aukerman faced off Tuesday in a race to win the Democrat nomination in the first ward. In unofficial results, Aukerman took the win with 72 votes, compared to O'Keeffe's 38.
Police told O'Keeffe her concerns were not a criminal matter. Go to sanduskyregister.com to hear O'Keeffe's phone call to police.

It really wasn't worth the hype. On my already full and long lashes the result wasn't anymore dramatic than Lancome Hypnose. The fibers didn't seem to stay put. I got a bad feeling about it and took it off within 20 minutes... it just seems like a bad idea to put loose fibers near the eye once you give it more thought. My friend who sells it has close to no eyelashes and has loved it.

I really like this mascara. it definitely makes your eyelashes appear longer and thicker. also, it's very easy to wash off. Some of the fibers do fall on your cheek through out the day, but not enough to make it noticeable. I haven't noticed my eyes burning or anything like that. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

I was really excited about this product since you can barely see my eyelashes without mascara but sadly disappointed after applying it. I tried it twice at home and am glad I didn't wear it out the fibers fell off and turned my eyes black underneath to make me look like a raccoon. I also had trouble with serious clumping of the fibers when trying to apply to my eye lash, I followed the instructions to comb your eyelashes first to prevent clumping but that didn't seem to help. I would like to know what the fibers are made of since I also saw a lot of them in my eye after applying. Had me a little worried.

It's a shame, after all the hype i was expecting a "wow" product that lived it to the claims made online. Unfortunately, for me - it was not the case.
Today i used it for the first time - i followed the instructions and after i had finished i noticed the fibres had started to fall below my eyes, so i brushed them away and left for work.
I get to work (15 minutes later) and it felt like my eyes were on fire.
I had to spend 6 hours with this pain, at some points i couldn't even open my eyes fully because the pain was so bad.
As soon as i got home i washed it off and my eyes were bright red and puffy from the irritation caused by the fibres. 12 hours later from the application and my eyes still feel painful.
Like it said, it's a shame as the concept it good, but the actual product fails to meet my expectations from other reviews.
I think i'll have to keep hunting for a great mascara.

I really wanted to love this product, and I wore it on 2 different occasions just to be fair and make sure I was applying it correctly. However, I was really disappointed. The application was easy, and initially they looked beautiful.
However the fibers felt like they were falling in my eyes which made me blink constantly all night. I had to keep taking a tissue to wipe under my lashes because it was so uncomfortable.
Also, when I took out my compact mirror to check my face, the fibers were all over the tops of my eyelids and on my face under my water line. I was horrified.
By the end of the night, my eyes were red and itchy. I could not wait to get home and wash them off. The second time I wore them was even worse then the first time.
It's a shame because it's a great concept at an affordable price.
The company representatives that sell this (I had to order through a rep online, not available in stores) should really encourage the manufacturers to go back to the drawing board to tweak the formula. I would not recommend this product at all.

I have been using the 3D Fiber Lashes for about a month now. I bought it intending to do my own face for stage (for a bodybuilding show) but ended up going to a MUA, she just put real false lashes on me- I didn't think to bring this with to ask her to use it. d'oh!
That said, I am enjoying this product for everyday use. I use it on my bare lashes (after curling). Sometimes I get a little bit of fiber fallout while I am applying, no big deal, just brush away with my fan brush. The more I use it, the better I get at using it. A few girls in my bellydance class caught me putting my face on for our studio recital and they were impressed with it (the presentation in the case, my results) so I'd say it's a hit! Great for an "intimate" performance look (by which I mean, you are on the floor with your audience as opposed to on a stage). I'm impressed that it holds up well to Atlantic Canadian wind and rain, but washes off pretty easily at the end of the day when I am going about my bedtime routine.
It's a little pricey, so if you are nervous that the multi-step process isn't for you, I wouldn't blame you for skipping- but if you are open minded about using something new, it's worth a shot- especially if you are concerned about the ingredients in your makeup like some people are (especially near your eyes)- check the website for more details on ingredients. Younique seems to have a decent moneyback guarantee, so if you are adventerous to try it, go for it! Send it back for a refund promptly if you don't like it.
I do plan to buy again when I've used it up, even though I NEVER spend big bucks on mascara, and I'm thinking about being a Younique presenter.

I have very short lashes. Regular mascare-eh. Some are good, others not. This isn't the easiest product to use, but it does work. I start with a regular mascara (the instructions do say this) then gel, fiber, gel. I have never used more than one because that's all I need! Easily doubles the length of my lashes. Yes, you do need to comb out clumps after, but I think it's worth it. I don't have a problem with 'shedding' or smudges more than any mascara.
I have both tubes open at once so I can quickly go back and forth.
It is expensive. I found it for $20, but that's still sorta costly.

For anyone who is saying this product doesn't work, you must not be using it correctly. This product is absolutely fantastic at making your eyelashes long and thick. I love the look of it. However, there are a few cons. For anyone who wears contacts, this stuff BURNS. by the end of the day my eyes are on fire. Also, it takes forever to get this off. I had to use two cotton swabs of eye makeup remover plus a makeup wipe just for one eye! That's a bit irritating. Also, by the end of the day I have dark circles under my eyes and also under my eyebrow from the product coming off, which may be due to my oily skin but idk. So I'm not really sure if I'll be purchasing this again... I'll really have to think about it.

Germany's industrial base at risk if green energy shift fails
BERLIN, Jan 21 (Reuters) – Germany risks undermining its
industrial base if it fails to undertake radical reform of
incentives for the country's renewable energy sector, its new
economy minister said on Tuesday in a clear signal of his
support for industry.
German firms had to stay competitive, Sigmar Gabriel said a
day before he outlines planned changes to a renewable energy law
to Chancellor Angela Merkel's cabinet, which sources say will
involve deep cuts in green energy support.
German energy leaders look to Gabriel for change
FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Germany's energy sector gets its first major speech from new economy and energy minister Sigmar Gabriel this week with utilities and households both hoping he can ease the cost burden imposed on them by Berlin's push for greener energy.
Germany is undergoing Europe's deepest energy transformation as it exits nuclear, renewables surge and cheap coal plays havoc with plans to switch to cleaner natural gas.
Toy train town takes back grid in German power shift
FRANKFURT, Jan 19 (Reuters) – The southern German town of
Goeppingen, set in the Alpine foothills, is a magnet for
tourists and famous for being the home of toy train maker
For activists in the German "Rekommunalisierung" movement
that wants to take local electricity networks away from the big
utilities and put them back in public hands, picturesque
Goeppingen now has another reason to be proud.
Europe's storms send power prices plummeting to negative
LONDON/FRANKFURT, Jan 9 (Reuters) – North Europe's
devastating storms sent wind turbines spinning and helped
strengthen a new winter phenomenon for the region – negative
electricity prices.
Damaging for utilities losing money making electricity,
delighting traders who cash in on price swings, they will not,
however, mean cheap power for households.
German public rejects TenneT's bid for wind power funding
FRANKFURT, Dec 3 (Reuters) – Power grid operator TenneT
has failed to persuade Germans to fund a wind power
line along the North Sea coast, the company said on Friday,
raising a fraction of the targeted cash in a campaign that cost
it millions.
TenneT signed up just 142 people for a total 833,000 euros
($1,100,000) of shares, having hoped to raise up to 40 million
euros, or 15 percent of its total investment budget for a 150-km
(90-mile) north-to-south line in Schleswig-Holstein state.
Berlin defiant as court refers nuclear fuel tax to EU
FRANKFURT, Nov 19 (Reuters) – Germany defended its nuclear
fuel tax on Tuesday after a Hamburg court referred a complaint
by power companies RWE and E.ON to the
highest EU court.
The Hamburg Financial Court said it doubted whether the levy
was compatible with European law, strengthening the hand of the
utilities who say they have paid 3 billion euros ($4 billion)
since the tax was introduced in 2011.
China, U.S. green spending falling far short, says Germany's IWR
FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Top emitters China and the United States are underspending on carbon-free technology relative to their level of emissions, according to a spending model devised by German research institute IWR.
The private institute, which advises German ministries on ways to curb climate-harming carbon output, has suggested countries be given an annual spending target on renewables relative to their fossil fuels consumption.
Europe's power markets set to link up in search for best price
FRANKFURT/OSLO, Oct 9 (Reuters) – National power markets
across Europe will next month begin pooling electricity for
millions of consumers across 15 countries, creating the first
step towards a common market for nearly three quarters of
Europe's demand.
Because the markets used to be isolated, the lack of links
between neighbouring countries makes it difficult to tackle
situations of over or undersupply, which if properly handled,
could lead to lower energy prices for industry.
Germany overtakes Britain as Europe's biggest gas user
LONDON/FRANKFURT, Oct 2 (Reuters) – Britain has lost its
long-standing position as Europe's leading gas consumer to
Germany, and the shift could threaten the UK's ranking as the
continent's biggest gas trading hub.
Britain's natural gas demand has plunged 22 percent over two
years due to a weak economy and because cheap coal imports have
made coal more profitable for generating electricity than gas.
Gas trading volumes rising at Dutch hub, down at UK hub-report
FRANKFURT, Sept 27 (Reuters) – Wholesale gas and gas futures
trading volumes are rising in the Netherlands and falling in
Britain, a sign that Dutch hub TTF is drawing financial traders
away from its bigger British rival, a study said on Friday.
"Activity at the (British) National Balancing Point (NBP)
has reduced and may continue to reduce further," said Nigel
Harris, co-author of the report which was issued by UK
consultancy Prospex.

And in the end, the love you make, is equal to the love you make
I'll keep it short and sweet (gotta keep some of the mystery right?) I like fun, and I'm shy and reserved initially, but eventually the big kid in me comes out. Whether that be going out with friends around town, playing golf or basketball, going to the movies, or just relaxing at home. I am also very motivated and determined to lead a successful career and believe I am on a good path. I'm looking for a girl who is a blast to be around, and is ambitious and is easy to talk to. Hopefully family is really important as well. There's a lot more, but I believe that communication will tell us so much more than writing a paragraph explaining what I'm looking and who I am will, so let me know if you're interested!!

Any movie that can make me laugh a lot or invoke excitement/feeling. Love Dumb and Dumber and Anchorman.
Not enough room here. I love to try anything new, so if you have any ideas, I'm so up for it. Having bbq's and playing volleyball in Wash Park, going to Rockies games, hanging out downtown, watching movies, playing golf, basketball, or softball.

Napier's promotion follows the announcement of plans to merge the editorship of the Yorkshire Post and Yorkshire Evening PostCredit: by Ben Sutherland on Flickr. Some rights reserved
According to the publisher, his new role gives him responsibility for "accelerating digital content initiatives" and he will report to Henry Faure Walker, digital & business development director.
Faure Walker said: "We're delighted that Paul will be taking up this exciting new role."
"He will be instrumental in our plans to accelerate our digital content output in our newsrooms throughout Johnston Press."
Peter Charlton, the current editor of the Yorkshire Post, will assume responsibility for the editorship of the Yorkshire Evening Post as part of his new role as editorial director for Yorkshire Post Newspapers Limited.
Johnston Press announced plans to merge the editorship of the two papers earlier this month, as part of a drive to create a "more efficient management structure".

It's Not Your Social Media Strategy That Stinks; It's Your Business Strategy
Ben Heyman / Social Media Today / March 12, 2014
Social media is free, sure. But it is not a channel to shout your messages and get people to buy your products. The 'spray and pray' method does not work here. Social media is social by nature. It is about developing relationships and rapport with customers and potential customers. By doing this the sale will come eventually. And that sale will also come with brand loyalty and support for life.
One of the many reasons companies join Facebook and Twitter is to be discoverable. When a potential customer searches for you online, can they find you? Step number one. But once they find you, what willRead More
7 Hot Predictions in Social Media for 2014
Warren Knight / Social Media Today / December 13, 2013
We are coming to the end of 2013, which is a scary thought considering I remember last New Year's Eve like it was yesterday! Social media has been THE hot topic for 2013 and I can't see that changing. Here are my 7 hot predictions in social media for 2014.
1. The Rise of Short Lived Social Networks
Facebook offered fleeting video and image sharing social network SnapChat $3 Billion! I don't think it is worth what Facebook offered; however, it is clear that there is a space in the market for networks where content literally vanishes seconds after being received. The reason for this beingRead More
Need More B2B Sales Leads? Ignore This Research.
Tom Pick / Business 2 Community / November 13, 2013
According to recent research conducted by InsideSales.com and reported by MarketingProfs, websites, blogs and search are among the most effective tactics for both lead generation and brand awareness. But social media (including Twitter, Pinterest and Google+), display ads and online video are among the worst activities for achieving either objective.
While the findings are interesting and no doubt reflect the experience of many b2b marketers, it's crucial not to misinterpret the results. Whether one agrees with conclusions of the research or not, it clearly has one importantRead More
Do YOU Have What it Takes to Effectively Analyze Social Data?
Ian Michaels / Social Media Today / November 11, 2013
It is estimated that the average internet user spends a quarter of their time on social media sites each year. With over 400 million tweets a day and 10 million Facebook apps (and growing) the social frontier is evolving at an alarming rate – and with it comes exponentially more data from your target audience. According to Gleanster Research (see the Deep Dive "Leveraging Social Data Expertise to Maximize the Value of Social Listening"), 85% of brand marketers believe social media is critical to the marketing strategy. It turns out that it's not so difficult to engage consumers on social;Read More
Video Marketing: To Vine or not to Vine?
Jessica McGreal / B2BMarketing.net / November 6, 2013
Six months down the line and Twitter's six-second video phenomenon has already gained 13 million active users. The app has quickly become a popular marketing medium in the B2C world; while B2B brands are still deciding if the social network will play a bigger role in their content marketing plans.
Now available on Android and in the midst of introducing a range of new features, Vine's social engagement has almost caught up with YouTube uploads on Twitter, according to a new Socialbakers report. Tweeted YouTube videos earn a 0.048 per cent engagement rate on average, while Vine tweets receiveRead More

Apparatus and methods for designing; providing and managing customer services in a telecommunications network are disclosed. The services are handled in a separate service network, connected to the telecommunications network in a logical service, for example an SCP in an intelligent network. The service network is based on existing and commonly available network resources, for example, the Internet. Also, existing and commonly available terminals, such as personal computers are used for handling the services.
1. A method of handling subscriber services in an intelligent network, where services are stored in connection to at least one logical service means connected to a service network, the method comprising the steps of:
connecting the service network to a telecommunications network via the at least one logical service means;
connecting a subscriber terminal having a graphical user interface to the service network;
managing services at the logical service means through the graphical user interface; and
downloading at least part of a service program to the subscriber terminal, wherein the service program is implemented in three parts comprising:
a service execution part,
a first portion of a service management part to be run in the logical service means, and
a second portion of the service management part to be downloaded to the subscriber terminal for service management.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the telecommunications network is an intelligent network, and the logical service means are Service Control Points (SCP) or Service Switching and Control Points (SSCP).
3. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of connecting a service provider and/or services vendor terminal to the same service network as the subscriber terminal.
4. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of using Internet as the service network.
5. An intelligent network in which subscriber services can be handled, comprising:
a telecommunications network in which calls are made and the services are used;
a service network comprising an existing and commonly available network;
at least one logical service means connecting the service network to the telecommunications network; and
a subscriber terminal having a graphical user interface for displaying the subscriber services, connected either to the telecommunications network or to the service network, for managing the subscriber services, wherein at least part of a service program is downloaded to the subscriber terminal for displaying and editing, wherein the service program is implemented in three parts comprising:
a service execution part;
a first portion of a service management part to be run in the logical service means; and
a second portion of the service management part to be downloaded to the subscriber terminal.
6. The intelligent network of claim 5, further comprising Service and Control Switching Points (SSCP) and/or Service Switching Points (SSP), and wherein the logical service means are Service Control Points (SCP) or SSCPs.
7. The intelligent network of claim 5, wherein service providers' and/or service vendors' terminals arc connected to the same network as the subscriber terminal.
8. The intelligent network of claim 5, wherein the Internet is used to connect the subscribers to the logical service means in the service network.
The present invention relates to telecommunications networks, and more specifically to the design, deployment, management and execution of services in such networks.
Today, a subscriber can manage such services in two ways: by calling an operator and asking for the service to be activated or deactivated or by pressing a combination of keys on the telephone. Both these ways are perceived as cumbersome by many subscribers. The key combinations are often long and hard to remember, and the lack of guidance to the subscriber causes mistakes or scares the subscriber from even trying. The complexity of the user interface also limits the number and flexibility of the services that can effectively be used.
Universal Personal Telecommunication (UPT) is a concept for assigning a personal telephone number to each individual through which a person can always be reached regardless of his or her location. Logic functions in the network direct any incoming call to a telephone where the subscriber is currently found. The service works between different types of network, such as the Public Services Telephone Network (PSTN) and mobile networks. UPT is normally implemented in an intelligent network, but may be implemented in any kind of telecommunications network.
Other examples of services preferably implemented in an Intelligent Network (IN) are call forwarding, call waiting and screening of calls.
There is no standard for the design, management and execution of services in intelligent networks or other telecommunications networks today. Therefore, such services are based on proprietary solutions or on programming languages that have to be compiled directly for one host computer. Therefore they cannot be moved between different kinds of equipment. There is no standard programming language, no standard format for transferring service logic to the SCPs and no standard interface for managing services. All these factors for design, deployment and management of services in an intelligent network also depend on the service vendor.
This creates a number of problems for the telecommunications operators and for the subscribers:
Because many solutions are proprietary, the codes for activating or changing services may vary between different vendors' equipment. Also, it is difficult for the telecommunications operator to combine equipment from different vendors.
As the environments are so specialized, it is difficult to modify services. With the priorly known solutions, it is impossible for a subscriber to design or modify his/her own services.
The service mobility is poor. Automatic activation of services must generally be done from the subscriber's own phone.
The service profile of a particular subscriber cannot be moved to another operator if the subscriber wants to change.
WO 95/34980 describes a customized telecommunications service where a service provider or a system vendor can provide and modify services tailored according to the customers' needs and wishes. The network comprises a number of service shells, each relating to a particular service. A service shell contains basic logic for the shell and customization points in which services may be added by a system vendor or modified by a service provider. The subscriber is able to fine-tune the service for his or her own purposes. ISDN is suggested as a network for the input of user data. U.S. Pat. No. 5,323,452 discloses a system and method for creating and modifying intelligent network call processing in a visual environment. No network solution is suggested.
Thus, there is a need for a network solution for the design, deployment, management and execution of services. To be useful to as many people as possible the network and the cost for connecting must be kept as low as possible. One way of achieving this is to use existing network resources and terminals where possible.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a method for service management in a telecommunications network which to as great an extent as possible uses existing network resources and terminals.
It is also an object of the invention to provide a method and a network in which it is easy to design, deploy, manage and execute services for subscribers in a telecommunications network.
It is another object of the invention to create a service network which is flexible, yet easy to manage for a subscriber.
It is another object of the invention to obtain a standard for creating service programs which can be executed on different types of equipment.
It is still another object of the invention enable management of services independently of the subscriber's physical location;
It is yet another object of the invention to achieve service portability, including enabling a customer to move his or her services to another operator.
Some of these objects are achieved in a telecommunications network designed as disclosed in the independent claims. The remaining objects are achieved in certain embodiments of the invention as disclosed in the dependent claims.
The invention offers the following advantages:
All services can be handled in the same way via the same interface.
Service provisioning and service management can be performed using the same terminals and the same network.
The risk of errors when modifying services is reduced as the customer can see the results of the changes while they are being made.
The customers can use existing equipment for communicating with the network.
Existing network resources can be used for the service network.
A preferred embodiment of the invention offers the following additional advantages:
State of the art development environments can be used for creation of services.
The downloading of services is made more efficient.
Services can be managed by the subscriber independently of his or her location.
A subscriber's service profile and services can be moved between operators.
The invention will be further discussed below with particular reference to the enclosed drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 shows schematically a general concept for intelligent telecommunications networks (IN) according to the invention;
FIG. 2 shows an intelligent telecommunications network according to a first embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 3 shows a Service Control Point (SCP) in an IN according to the first embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 4 shows the steps taken to make a service available in the network according to the first embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 5 shows the steps taken to activate, deactivate or change a service for a particular subscriber according to the first embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 6 shows the steps taken when a service is executed (used) according to the first embodiment of the invention;
An intelligent network according to the invention is shown ain FIG. 1. The network is divided into two main parts. The actual calls are made, and the services are used, in the telecommunications network 1. The service network 2 is used for creating, downloading and managing the services offered by the IN. The telecommunications network 1 is made up of a numb er of SSPs (Service Switching Points) 4 to which telephones 6 and other telecommunications equipment such as telefaxes may be connected. The SSPs are connected to one or more SCPs (Service Control Points) 8 which contain the control logic and service software of the network. One or more intelligent peripheries may be connected to the SSPs and the SCPs for providing databases, reference information etc.
The service network consists of a number of terminals 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d which are connected to the SCPs, either via a wire or cable link as illustrated for 10b or via a radio link as illustrated for 10d. Each subscriber may have a terminal 10a, 10d, and service providers and operators may have terminals 10b, 10c. The subscribers' terminals 10a, 10d are used by the subscribers to modify, activate or deactivate services in the telecommunications network 1.
Terminals 10a, 10b, 10c and 10d may each contain a graphical user interface, as commonly known in the art.
To get access to the service management interfaces, user identification is required. A user profile may be defined for each user, to give the user access to the functions he or she should be allowed to perform. For example, service vendors 10b and operators 10c may be allowed to download programs to the network 2. Some subscribers 10a, 10d may be allowed to manage all kinds of services and others may have access only to certain services. Some subscribers may be allowed to modify services.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, described below, all terminals 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d could be any type of standard computers, such as PC or workstation, so that the same terminals can be used for designing and providing services as well as for managing services.
As shown in FIG. 1, the switching and logic functions performed by the SSPs and SCPs in the network may be combined in one unit called a Service Switching and Control Point, SSCP 12. One or more SSCPs could be provided together with one or more combinations of SSPs and SCPs in the network.
If voice prompting of subscriber actions is to be used, at least one Intelligent Periphery (IP) 14 containing the voice message must be used in connection with an SSP, an SCP or an SSCP.
In FIG. 2, which shows the network according to a first embodiment of the invention, the telecommunications network 21 comprises SSPs 24 to which the subscribers' telephones 26 are connected. The SSPs 24 are also connected an SCP 28. More than one SCP 28 may be present in the network as shown in FIG. 1. A number of terminals 20a, 20b, 20c are connected to the service network 22. These terminals are ordinary computers such as PCs or workstations, physically connected to the SCP 28 via a computer network. Of course the SSPs 24 and SCP 28 could be replaced by one or more SSCPs 12 as shown in FIG. 1.
Three terminals 20a, 20b and 20c are shown to illustrate the three main uses of the terminals: a) design of services, b) provisioning of services and c) service management. Service providers and service vendors will use the terminals 20b, 20c for designing services and downloading them to the SCP 28, and subscribers will use the terminals 20a to activate, deactivate or change services. It will also be possible for subscribers to design their own services or to modify existing services. All terminals have interpreters for the programming language used for the service programs.
The three terminals 20a, 20b and 20c may each contain a graphical user interface for displaying subscriber service data, as commonly known in the art.
FIG. 3 shows an SCP 28 configured according to the first embodiment of the invention. The SCP 28 has service network connections 30a, 30b, 30c to the terminals 20a, 20b, 20c in the service network 22 and INAP connections 32 to the SSPs. The SCP 28 comprises one or more service programs 34 written in the programming language mentioned above, an interpreter 36 for the programming language and a runtime environment 38. A standardized Application Programming Interface (API) 40 is used, which is a prerequisite for service portability.
Each service program 34 comprises two parts: The first part is the service execution program, which actually executes the service as shown in the flowchart in FIG. 6, which will be described further below. The other part is the service management part. One portion of the services management part 34 is downloaded to the subscriber's terminal 10a when a service is to be managed as shown in the flowchart in FIG. 5, also described further below; the other portion is run in the SCP 28. The service management part and the service execution part cooperate by sharing data through the API 40. The service management part sets the data which is used by the service execution part. To achieve true service mobility, the API 40 must be standardized for all SCPs.
To achieve true mobility of services, both the service management part and the service execution part must be implemented in the same programming language, for which interpreters must be available in all terminals. However, it is possible to implement only the service management part in this programming language and the service execution part in another programming language. In this case, the service designer must have access to both programming languages.
The runtime environment 38 is used when a service is executed during a call. The service uses the API 40 which uses the runtime environment to execute orders toward the SSP. The runtime environment 38 also provides the possibility to store service data, for example in a database.
As a service network, it is feasible to use an existing network to which anybody can connect, and to which a number of people are already connected. Such a network today is the World Wide Web.
An interpreted programming language, and preferably one for which interpreters are available on all standard computers, is used for the service programs 34. In this way, each node may be any kind of standard computer, such as workstation or PC. An example of such a programming language is Java, which, among other things, makes it possible to program interactive pages on the Internet. Another feasible program ng language available today is ActiveX from Microsoft.
Any static HTML web page can be designed to allow the user to send data to the network. In most cases, all input checks must be carried out in the receiving computer, in this case the SCP 28, which makes the procedure more cumbersome for the user. The use of a downloaded program that makes it possible to have an interactive page makes the management of services faster and more user friendly, as the user's own computer can check that the input is correct.
FIG. 4 shows the steps taken when a service is to be made available in the service network:
Step 100: The service provider designs a service program. The service program is developed in an interpreted programming language for which interpreters are available on all computers.
Step 102: The service provider opens the service network and accesses the SCP 28.
Step 104: The service provider downloads the service program to the appropriate SCP 28.
Step 106; The program is verified and stored in the SCP 28.
Of course, these steps can be performed by anyone. The flexibility of this will make it possible to let subscribers design or modify services in the network.
FIG. 5 shows the steps taken by a subscriber to activate, deactivate or change a service.
Step 110: The subscriber opens the service window and accesses the site (for example a page in the World Wide Web) in the SCP, from which services can be managed.
Step 112: The subscriber chooses the service that should be managed.
Step 114: The appropriate service management program is downloaded from the SCP 28. A service management page is displayed on the subscriber's computer.
Step 116: The subscriber chooses what to do to the service and continues with step 118a, 118b or 118c.
Step 118a: The subscriber chooses to activate the service.
Step 118b: The subscriber chooses to deactivate the service.
Step 128c: The subscriber chooses to change service parameters.
Step 120: The management pro gram checks that the new data is consistent. The service parameters for the customer are updated in the SCP 28 and the change is confirmed to the subscriber.
FIG. 6 shows the steps taken when a service is to be executed.
Step 130: A subscriber makes a call.
Step 132: The SSP 24 identifies a request for an IN service concerning the call and initiates the execution of the service execution program 34 in the SCP 28.
Step 134: The SCP 28 starts the program interpreter 36 and executes the program 34.
Step 136: The service program 34 instructs the IN runtime system 38 through the IN API 40 to control the call processing.
Step 138: The IN API method calls are translated to INAP operations.
Step 140: The SSP 24 receives operations over the INAP connections 32 so that the selected service is performed for the call.
Although in most of the description above, terminology relating to intelligent networks is used, it will be understood that the logical function of the components in the network (e.g. SSP, SCP, SMS) could be implemented in other components in any telecommunications network.

I love to ski, although I don't go as often as I'd like. My favorite mountain is Bretton Woods. I'm a great driver ( if I must say so) I love to laugh and joke around, and I have a sarcastic sense of humor but I'm very shy and quiet at first. I'm very close to my family and friends. They mean the world to me. I'm very fortunate to have such great people in my life. I have a career that I love. I'm great with directions. I love animals. I grew up with dogs, cats and 2 rabbits. I would love to adopt a dog or cat in the future. I love sports. I love watching hockey and football and I try to get to as many games I love a great cup of coffee and I drink iced coffee in the winter I'm very active. You can typically find me out walking, at the gym, or taking a gym class. I love being outdoors doing anything. I own my own home....well I will own it outright in 27 years. I try to go to Maine as much as I can during the summer, my family has a house in York Beach. I love sitting in front of a roaring fire on cool summer and fall nights. What Am I looking for? I am at a point in my life that I am looking for a meaningful relationship. I would love to find a person that I enjoy being around and spending time with. Someone who is adventurous as well as someone who could accompany me on the couch for a good movie. Someone who is goofy and someone who respects me. It's very important to be family oriented. I would do anything for my friends and family. If you like the gym it would also be a plus. I love to travel and would love to have someone to travel with.

A person familiar with the situation says the Panthers have restructured the contract of running back DeAngelo Williams, a move that will ensure Carolina's all-time leading rusher will be back this season. The person spoke to The Associated Press Tuesday on condition of anonymity because the move has not been publically announced. Yahoo.com first reported the new deal Tuesday. The new contract saves Carolina $3.2 million under the NFL salary cap in both 2013 and 2014, and $3.867 million in 2015. Two years were added on to the deal, but it's designed to expire after the 2015 season. Williams, 30, has rushed for a club-record 5,784 yards and 43 touchdowns. Williams started 10 games last season and ran for 737 yards and five TDs. He also caught two touchdown passes.

sports.gunaxin.com / Twitter.com Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean "Shady" McCoy could easily be at the Pro Bowl this weekend, just like he was last season, if a concussion, a patchwork offensive line and Andy Reid's pass-heavy play calling hadn't helped keep his numbers down. Well, instead of hanging in Hawaii, Shady McCoy (@CutonDime25) spent late Saturday night and early Sunday morning in Puerto Rico feuding with his Baby Mama (@Angelface0330) over Twitter. The two parents of LeSean McCoy Jr. fired off tweets at each other for hours. It seems to have started when McCoy said 'Steph' lied about birth control: Then, after some back and forth about responsibilities, Steph alleged that McCoy's friend 'VAR' was doing some work on Shady's current GF….uh oh: Next, Steph went jugular on McCoy, calling out his manhood, his sexual performance and dropping other allegations, including one that his current girl is sending people pictures of Shady's junk (and not in a good way). And she backed it up with a text message. Just, wow. So, McCoy told the Twitterverse to tell Steph to "to get a job n stop begging for child support money she a BUM needs me to LIVE sad!!!" Of course, McCoy's followers jumped into the beef. McCoy rubbed it in a bit more, even though Steph was taking the time to tweet her side back to the masses who were hammering her on Twitter. After some more fireworks, McCoy decided it was a good time to call it a night and enjoy his vacation. Social media is a hell of a platform. Filed under: Football, NFL

The 13th Amendment forbids Titles of Nobility - Why is DR. Ron Paul silently challending this hidden amendment?

That alone is treason, and he cannot hold public office under the original 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution of the Republic." http://fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/bellringers_corner/hello_central/news.php?q=18c43dbbebdb6be0e924d9bc8b32731a [/quote]
Original Message

The Titles of Nobility Amendment (TONA) is a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution dating from 1810. It was submitted to the state legislatures during the 2nd Session of the 11th Congress via a resolution offered by U.S. Senator Philip Reed of Maryland—and has not taken effect because it has not yet been ratified by the legislatures of enough states. As quoted on page 613, Volume II, Statutes At Large, covering the 6th Congress through the 12th Congress, the proposed amendment reads:
If any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive or retain, any title of nobility or honour, or shall, without the consent of Congress, accept and retain any present, pension, office or emolument of any kind whatever, from any emperor, king, prince or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the United States, and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them.
The TONA—if ever ratified—would modify the following provision which appears in Article I, Section 9, of the original Constitution:
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.
Some people claim that the TONA actually was properly ratified and that it has been suppressed as part of a vast conspiracy orchestrated by attorneys who do not wish to forfeit their American citizenship when they use the title "Esquire" after their last name (although Esquire, even in the United Kingdom, is not a title of nobility).
There is a school of thought that Virginia lawmakers adopted the TONA sometime before the invasion of the eastern portion of the United States by British troops during the War of 1812 and that, as a consequence of the sacking, pillaging, and burning of government records in Virginia and Washington, D.C., by the British, there was a loss of the documentation which would attest to a valid ratification of the TONA by Virginia's legislators.
The assertion that the TONA actually was validly ratified has never been upheld by any court in the United States. To the contrary, in the few instances in which courts have been confronted with such claims, judges have brushed those claims aside. In Campion v. Towns, No.CV-04-1516PHX-ROS, *2 n.1 (D. Ariz. 2005), a tax protester raised TONA as one of his defenses to a charge of tax evasion. The court replied that it would "correct any misunderstanding Plaintiff has concerning the text of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution":
In his Complaint, Plaintiff includes a certified copy of the Thirteenth Amendment from the Colorado State Archives which was published in 1861. As included in that compilation, the Thirteenth Amendment would strip an individual of United States citizenship if they accept any title of nobility or honor. However, this is not the Thirteenth Amendment. The correct Thirteenth Amendment prohibits slavery. Although some people claim that state publication of the erroneous Thirteenth Amendment makes it valid, Article V of the Constitution does not so provide.
In another case, Sibley v. Culliver, 243 F. Supp. 2d 1278, 1283 (M.D. Ala. 2003), aff'd 377 F.3d 1196 (11th Cir. 2004), a federal court in Alabama found that the defendant's invocation of TONA actually worked to his detriment. The court took note of documents produced by the defendant, a convicted murderer who submitted documents in support of his appeal claiming that TONA rendered his conviction invalid:
These documents allege in great detail a complex conspiracy by an illegal monopoly, the American Bar Association, which resulted in a take-over of the judicial systems of this country, both federal and state, by the ABA and its related entities, including the Alabama State Bar Association and Alabama's Unified Court System. It is then alleged that the ABA-controlled system is illegal and in violation of what is referred to as the "missing Thirteenth Amendment," to the United States Constitution, which stated that any person who accepts a title of nobility forfeits his United States citizenship, and which Amendment was ratified but subsequently hidden or excised from the law. Since lawyers and judges accept the titles "Esquire" and "The Honorable," it is argued, they are not citizens and the entire judicial system is illegal.
Furthermore, these documents contend that the charge of conviction in this case, capital murder of a police officer acting in the line of duty, is unconstitutional because it bestows upon police officers special rights or a special designation of the worth of life in contravention of the "missing Thirteenth Amendment." The documents then explain that these are reasons that Sibley and his wife refused appointed counsel on appeal and refused to pursue matters any further in the court system, and that only Congress can give them relief.
The Sibley court dismissed the appeal, concluding in part that the defendant was simply not seeking relief through the courts.
Furthermore, supporters maintain that—if ratified—the TONA would have consequences above and beyond those listed above. Among the TONA's claimed additional effects would be:
When someone in the United States becomes a lawyer, he or she often uses the title of "Esquire" (or an abbreviation thereof) to signify his or her status, much as doctors attach "M.D." to their names. Supporters of the TONA claim that this constitutes "a British title of gentry" because the state bar associations in the United States were franchises of the British International Bar Association in the early 1800s. Therefore, so the argument goes, any lawyer in the United States who uses the title "Esquire" is British gentry, and would—under a validly-ratified TONA—forsake his or her American citizenship, and be unable to hold any U.S. government office.
The word "honour" (as it is spelled in the text of the proposed TONA) in the phrase "title of nobility or honour" should not be interpreted as "title of honour" in the traditional sense, but rather as "obtaining or having an advantage or privilege over another," which includes, among other things, the immunity to lawsuits which is held by various government officials. Theoretically then—were TONA to ever be ratified—there is a school of thought that judges could be sued for the legal decisions that they make, and that legislators could be sued for the laws that they pass.

"Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2).
Would you like to know a successful homeschooling secret? My children did their best schoolwork when I sat next to them as they completed their assignments. Sounds too simple, doesn't it? I thought so, too, until I tested my theory. No matter their age, the difference was remarkable between the days when I quietly sat nearby and the days when I was busy with chores in another room. Apparently, my presence empowered them with the reassurance that I was there to help if they had a question.
Having someone by your side to help you through life's problems is a blessing from God. In Exodus 17:8-13, Moses was blessed to have two men by his side, his brother Aaron and Hur. When Moses sent Joshua to fight the Amalekites, the Israelites prevailed in the battle as long as Moses held up God's staff in his hand. However, as the day progressed, Moses' hands became so heavy he could no longer hold them up alone. Sitting him down on a rock, Aaron and Hur stood by Moses' side and held up his hands until sunset. Without their help, Moses' hands would have dropped, and Israel would surely have been defeated.
Do you feel alone in facing your homeschooling battles today? Praise God, His love and strength are as close as your next prayer. When you need an extra hand to get through a particularly tough day, He knows and cares. God loves you so much that He'll send the exact person you need to hold you up. If you find yourself in a heavy situation, pray and watch as God proves Himself mighty in sending the encouragement you need. "Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand" (Psalm 37:24).
Father, thank You for watching over me and taking care of my every need. I lift up these homeschooling problems to You! Please, help me. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
"Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2).

A new algorithm is presented to indicate ground moving targets in synthetic aperture radar images. Two filters, which differ only in the signs of the phase responses, are used to defocus the complex image respectively. In the two defocused images, each stationary target is blurred to the same extent, but each moving target is blurred to different extents. Therefore, moving targets can be indicated by the patch-by-patch sharpness comparison of the two defocused images. The results of the simulated and real data show that this algorithm is effective and efficient.

Beat behind
by, 05-22-2010 at 05:47 PM (867 Views)
I think I might be on to something. I don't mean to take anything from my fellow "wheelies, " but I think I finally figured something out.
Most of the wheelies with whom I fence have been the victims of a traumatic accident that left them incapable of fencing on their feet. Or perhaps there is something physical. I have not met that many wheelies who have suffered stroke. Or in my case strokes.
As I was lunging in the garage today I noticed I am a beat behind. When fencing I can see what my opponent is going to do or I have a planned attack and I am a beat or two behind.
When someone talks to me I have to process what was said and it might be a second longer for the response. My mind is active, don't put me on jeopardy, but I am sort of "living in the past"
Command "fence" and I don't explode like I used to (ooh that is a messy picture) It takes a second to react. That could be why I get so many yellow cards, I am trying to time it. My last stroke was in the pontine area. The area that controls movement, that is why I lose my legs occasionally.
Well, that is my excuse and I'm going to use it.

If you're interested in either DIY napkin designs or, like me, enjoy creative ways to use routers for creative tasks like block printing, keep on reading. This project will be right up your alley.
- Time: 1 hour
- Cost: $5-$20
