Re: I want to add narration to one slide at a time. in response to racVT
Moving slides using click and drag in the navigator side bar and adding audio using the finder to drag directly onto the slide could not be simpler.
What have you tried doing and what happens when you do?

Re: I want to add narration to one slide at a time. in response to racVT
I would suggest a program called profcast to record your narraration, or re-record the audio you want to change just import it into keynote. Adding audio in keynote can be a pain depending on how you plan on exporting it. If you are planning on exporting it as a movie there are a series of things that you will need to also setup. But I will assume you are just creating a autoplay presentation. You can change your existing audio into a media placeholder (Format>advanced>define as media placeholder) in keynote and just drag the new audio into the presentation with the old one selected. This will replace the audio file with the new one and have the new audio adopt the old audio files settings and build attributes.

Construction Update
Now is the time when the project is taking final shape. The exterior finishes are complete and we are painting the exterior of the building. We have also started the curb and gutter on the outside and will start installing asphalt in the next few weeks.
On the interior, section 1 and 2 have drywall completed. Prime paint and trim are being installed. We are continuing to complete rough inspection in the back of the building. We continue with insulation and drywall in those areas. The model unit has been trimmed and painted, and will soon be finished with cabinets, flooring, and appliances.
This is a great point in the project. We now have units at all phases of construction. Many units are getting close to their final look.

Originally written on The Penalty Flag | Last updated 3/5/12
When you talk about tough physical running backs you have to mention Peyton Hillis and that fact alone makes him an attractive free agent prospect for several NFL teams. At 6-2, 250 lbs, Hillis is built a lot like former Tampa Bay Buccaneer standout Mike Alstott. Hillis was the 20th pick in the 7th round of the 2008 NFL draft. After being traded at the beginning on the 2010 season he had tremendous year with the Cleveland Browns rushing for 1177 yards and 11 touchdowns with a 4.4 yard per carry average. Hillis is also a threat in the passing game as he had 61 receptions for almost 500 yards as well that season. Amidst a contract dispute, injuries and illness, Hillis' numbers declined last season and his popularity in Cleveland quickly faded. Because of his performance last season Hillis will come as a bargain for a team willing to give him a chance in 2012. Here are four NFL teams that should pursue Peyton Hillis. New England Patriots: Of course the Patriots have to be mentioned on this list. Hillis fits the mold of key free agent acquisitions New England has signed in years past; a troubled star who has lost his way [...]

Advice & Support
At this time, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)
treatments are not recommended as treatment for
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),
because they have not been proved effective or reliable. A major concern is
that they may prevent the use of proven traditional treatments that would be of
greater benefit.
The following are treatments that you may come
across when researching ADHD:
Biofeedback uses repeated exercises to
create or improve pathways of attention and impulse control. The desired result
is to help a person create an appropriate mental state for a given situation,
such as listening to instructions. Although biofeedback is unlikely to cause
physical harm, more research is needed to find out if it might be effective in
treating ADHD.
Stramonium (for nervousness and
tremors), cina (for restlessness), and hyoscyamus niger (for impulse control)
are examples of homeopathic treatments that need more research before they are
considered safe and effective.
Herbal medicines and natural
substances that some naturopaths use for treating ADHD include ginkgo biloba
and lemon balm because of their reputed beneficial effects upon the brain. More
studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of these herbs and their
possible side effects. Kava and St. John's wort, which can be harmful if taken
incorrectly, are also sometimes used to try to help regulate mood and behavior
problems associated with ADHD.
You should not use iron supplements
or give them to your child without first talking with a doctor. Although some
children with ADHD have low levels of iron in their blood, too much iron can be
poisonous and may lead to death.
There is no evidence to support taking
large doses of vitamins to treat ADHD. A daily multivitamin may help anyone
meet his or her nutritional requirements and prevent any deficiencies,
especially children who are picky eaters with reduced appetite from
psychostimulant medicine.
Diet does not contribute to
the symptoms of ADHD. But children with food allergies might be better able to
deal with ADHD if they avoid foods they are allergic to. Avoiding substances
such as food dyes and preservatives is not an effective treatment for
Diet restrictions, such as limiting the amount of sugar
eaten, became popular despite the lack of scientific evidence showing that it
helps children with ADHD. But diet and nutrition can affect general mood and
behavior. Eating a balanced diet can help all people—including those with
ADHD—function well.
It has not been proved that a fungus,
Candida albicans, causes ADHD. Methods to control or
destroy fungi, such as certain diet restrictions, removal of fungi in the
environment, and medicines to kill fungi (antifungals) do not improve the
symptoms of ADHD.

The two varieties of 1812 half eagles, struck to the extent of some 45,000 to 60,000 coins according to Bass-Dannreuther, share a common obverse, with the two reverses distinguished by the spacing of the 5D denomination, the Wide 5D (BD-1) and Narrow 5D (BD-2). The BD-1 is seen far more frequently than the BD-2, with Bass-Dannreuther estimating that 300 to 450 examples survive of the former, at R.3, and 80 to 100 of the latter, at High R.4. This BD-1 shows attractive greenish-gold surfaces that are free of major marks, although the "curious die lines" that Bass-Dannreuther refer to appear on the reverse, one from the rim at 2 o'clock through the right (facing) wing, a second curving through the horizontal shield lines and terminating in the left wing. Moderate horizontal planchet adjustment marks cross the obverse at Liberty's mouth, cheek, and ear area. Census: 26 in 63, 33 finer (7/12).(Registry values: P2) (NGC ID# 25PL, PCGS# 8112)

Matthew C. Boyer & Associates provides 26 years of proven expertise in:
- Project management (transportation projects, facilities, etc.)
- Transportation planning and performance measurement
- Executive management and training
- Interim Executive staffing
As President of Matthew C. Boyer & Associates, I serve clients throughout California. Our work is driven by three core beliefs:
- Results are the product of relationships, resources, and resolve. It isn't just what you know… but who you know, working only with the best of the best, and bringing a tireless will to the finish line..
- Most bold accomplishments start with an individual that possesses an extraordinary breadth of knowledge. That individual then creates a bold vision and a general path to success. From there, the visionary uses their relationships to form a team. That team uses their collective resources to see the bold vision to implementation.
- Along the way, bold visions need many other partners and need to engage many stakeholders. A key element to success may also be to attract outside/discretionary funding. Securing partners and discretionary funding requires three necessary dynamics: energy, enthusiasm, and urgency.
I enjoy using my broad range of experience in the public sector, non-profit sector and private sector to create effective service-oriented agencies/businesses. I am well known for thinking outside of the proverbial box, and using strength and determination to accomplish projects that make communities better.

Human trafficking is a huge problem, morally, economically and legally. One reason it's so hard to fight it is that it's a hidden crime. Largely gone are the days when prostitutes hang out on darkened streets. Instead, a girl or woman is pimped out via the internet. Even more difficult, traffickers often use the Deep Web:
The term "Deep Web," refers to the "deeper" parts of the web that are accessible, but are considered hard to find because they aren't indexed by regular search engines. Information on the Deep Web can be indexed, but only using complex search algorithms that have the ability to break down certain barriers.

The Badge
It is polished and shiny and looks so fine.
Once you earn it you have to tow the line.
The minute you wear it upon your chest
it becomes a symbol that you are the best.
It means honesty, integrity, and fairness to all.
Your life is never your own, but at the publics call.
Night or day, any hour, it makes you a mark.
It doesn't protect you from a shot in the dark.
Over the years the shine starts to fade,
but brighter still is the man its made.
It is often what separates you from the crowd.
It is a second family of which you are proud.

Deadline for care plans is looming
Posted: April 19, 2014|
People have until midnight on Wednesday to give their views on plans for future urgent care services across East Leicestershire and Rutland.
The East Leicestershire and Rutland clinical commissioning group (CCG), responsible for planning and paying for local health services, has been consulting on options for the future of urgent care services.
These were developed after looking at the quality of care currently on offer, how the services are used and how much they cost to run, as well as listening to the views of local people.
However, resident Anne Bond fears the current walk-in centre in Oadby maybe moved to Wigston and has handed in a petition with 2,000 signatures campaigning to keep the centre in the town.
Tim Sacks, the chief operating officer for the CCG, said: "Providing patients with access to good quality urgent care when they need it is a top priority.
"Currently local minor injury and illness services differ in what they offer and the hours they are open, which is confusing for both patients and clinicians.
"We think it is really important that everyone in East Leicestershire and Rutland makes their voice heard."

Dog Whisperer Cesar Milan Set for Live Twitter Chat, 11/25
Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan made national headlines this week with revelations about his personal life including his unexpected divorce, the death of his beloved dog Daddy and his attempted suicide. But, Cesar has yet to address the story directly... until now.
On Sunday, November 25 at 9:00 p.m. ET, Cesar will speak candidly with his fans on Twitter during the world premiere of Cesar Millan: The Real Story, airing at 9 PM ET on Nat Geo WILD. In the new one hour biopic, Cesar addresses the good, the bad and the ugly as he reflects on his personal life story.
The biopic features, for the first time on television, the comprehensive, behind-the-scenes story of Millan's incredible rise from poverty to fame.
"The outpouring of support I have received from fans throughout the highs and lows of my career encourages me to continue making a difference in this world every day," said Millan. "I can't think of a better way to give back than to connect with my fans directly and share my entire personal journey with them on Sunday night."
Fans can submit questions now @CesarMillan and follow the live discussion using #CesarMillanStory.
The one-hour special follows Millan's incredible rise from impoverished illegal immigrant to celebrity dog behaviourist to international superstar. The cameras roll as he embarks on his latest Cesar LIVE world tour, begins filming his new Nat Geo WILD television series Leader of the Pack in Spain, and leads thousands of dogs and owners on a Pack Walk in Washington, D.C., to raise awareness about dog adoption.
Leader of the Pack will sneak preview after the premiere of Cesar Millan: The Real Story, Sunday, November 25, at 10 p.m. ET/PT, before premiering in January.

Project Veritas is out with a new undercover video showing staffers from Battleground Texas, an organization full of Obama for America alumni with a goal of turning Texas blue, openly mocking Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott for being in a wheelchair. Abbott is running against Democratic State Senator Wendy Davis for the governorship. Battleground Texas supports Davis and is working very hard on her behalf in the Lone Star State. The video shows Davis visiting the Battleground Texas offices where she thanked staffers for their help and refers to the group as "the secret weapon" to winning.
"I really wonder how this is going to work out since he's in a wheelchair since and most of the slogans are 'Stand with Wendy," one staffer is seen saying in the video.
"First of all he's not good looking, he doesn't speak very well, he doesn't have a good personality and he's in a wheelchair," another woman is heard saying as someone laughs loudly in the background.
According to Project Veritas, the comments were caught while investigators were looking into Obamacare navigator fraud. This isn't the first time Battleground Texas has openly mocked Abbott's disability. In October 2013, the group sent out an email with the "joke," "Greg Abbott walks into a house in El Paso." Earlier this week, Davis came under criticism for saying Abbott hasn't "walked a day in her shoes."
Attorney General Abbott has been in a wheel chair since he was 26-years-old after a tree fell on him while running and paralyzed him from the waist down.

Serves 6
|flour tortillas (8 inches)
|cooked chicken (3 1/2 pounds)
|jars (16 ounces each) mild or medium tomato salsa
|cup frozen corn, rinsed with cold water
|can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
|cups grated mixed Jack cheese and cheddar
|cup sour cream
|scallions, finely chopped (for garnish)
|Extra sour cream (for serving)
1. Set the oven at 375 degrees. Have on hand a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
2. Using kitchen shears, cut the tortillas into 2-inch-wide strips.
3. With your hands, remove and discard the skin and bones from the chicken. Using kitchen shears or your hands, cut or shred the chicken into bite-size pieces. Transfer to a bowl.
4. Add 1 jar of salsa, corn, and black beans. Mix well.
5. Pour half the remaining salsa into the baking dish and spread it evenly. Add 1/3 of the tortilla strips, 1/2 the chicken mixture, and 1 cup of the cheese. With a small spoon, add half the sour cream in dollops. Use a spatula to spread the sour cream (this will look messy, but that's OK).
6. Continue layering tortilla strips, chicken mixture, grated cheese, and sour cream, reserving 1 cup of the cheese. Add the remaining tortilla strips, then the remaining salsa. Spread salsa evenly. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup cheese.
7. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling at the edges and the top is brown. Cut into squares and top with more sour cream. Julie Riven

There probably haven't been many, if any, occasions when the Izoard has been the smallest climb on the day's itinerary, which sums up just how extraordinary this stage is. S
tarting with the ascent of the huge Agnel climb, "the roof" of this year's Tour, then passing over the spectacular Izoard, the day culminates with the ascent to the Tour's highest-ever finish on the summit of the Galibier. It will be of little consolation to most that this is reached from its easier side. The last 8.5km are tough and should see an intense battle between the podium contenders.
Details -
Distance: 200.5 km
Highest point: 2,744m
Category: High mountains
Sean Yates says...
"The Agnello is long and the Izoard is evil. This is the easier side of the Galibier but it's still going to really hurt. For anyone not fighting for a top ten place, today will be a death march, especially with all the time spent over 2000 metres."

Hello all.
I have a few figures still missing from my collection.
Three are expensive, but I'm willing to listen to an offer.
Shipping is to 43205. I've not done any transactions here before, but thought I'd see how things go here. My eBay id is fantastick if you (understandably) need to see feedback.
If you wish to trade, I have Vykron MOC. Paying cash for your figure(s) works just as well (Paypal). One last thing. I am a loose collector, but would like the bio card if possible.

Although peace and pacifism are familiar ideas to most students today, for much of human history these concepts have been relegated to the religious domain and excluded from the study and practice of politics.1 At the same time, war--organized violent conflict between different groups of people--has traditionally been considered a natural occurrence, based on popular assumptions about the inclinations and limitations of human nature.2 Of course, many today still believe that peace is idealistic and war is inevitable, but other theories have emerged in modern times to explain the existence of war while also allowing for the possibility of positive peace (which entails the absence of war and also the presence of justice).3
Using a social constructivist framework, and invoking the Rwandan genocide and the civil war in Sierra Leone as real-world examples, I will argue that today's intrastate, ethnically-based conflicts stem from unjust political systems in which ethnic identity becomes a marker of difference and division that privileges some over others. The international community must intervene after violence erupts, but more importantly, peacemakers must act before aggression comes to a head. As Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. demonstrated, non-violent direct action can address and diffuse the root causes of war; however, for peaceful methods to be effective, we must renounce our misguided, pessimistic ideologies and forego military power to create positive peace in its place.
Before we can theorize the end of violence, we must understand how it arises. In their book, Peace and Conflict Studies, David Barash and Charles Webel elucidate many of the theories commonly used to explain why humans go to war. Barash and Webel write that the major justifications for war are grounded in assumptions about human nature: the idea that biologically, we have evolved to be violent and aggressive creatures, for example, or the theory that humanity is fundamentally nasty and warlike.4 Nevertheless, it can be argued that these theories do not hold up to the criticisms levied against them. As Barash and Webel point out, war is widespread, but not universal, so if humans have some sort of genetic coding that leads us to war, peace must also be an intrinsic part of our nature, given that peacemakers are just as human.5 Aggression among animals is often cited to show that war is "natural," but human beings have a unique capacity for rational and intelligent thought as well as the ability to suppress and overcome our primitive instincts.6
While human nature theories cannot effectively explain the manifestation of war, social constructivist theories provide a rational explanation for both the absence and presence of violent conflict. These theories argue that what determines our behavior, what leads us to choose between war and peace, is our circumstances and the social experiences we live through.7 In this framework, peace is not viewed as some sort of miracle occurrence defying humanity's evil nature, but instead as one of the many different behaviors humans may exhibit with supportive social experiences under causative circumstances.
The Rwandan and Sierra Leonean conflicts are both excellent examples of how violence can arise from particular social conditions, specifically in reaction to pervasive political injustice. Originally, the Sierra Leonean civil war began as a movement fighting the corruption and inequality its founders saw in their country's division of resources. As the student leaders' own ideologies became more radical and they needed soldiers to fight, they inculcated hatred and violence in the minds of child soldiers by making a false association between the people they attacked and those who had killed the young boys' families.8 In addition to redirected aggression, the Revolutionary United Front also employed socialization to aggressiveness as a tool to toughen their boy soldiers. They created a culture in which violence appeared to be good, necessary and normal. After two years of fighting, Beah said, "killing had become a daily activity."9 The UNICEF workers at the rehabilitation center expected them to behave like children, but Ishmael and the other soldiers had been "brainwashed to kill."10
The Rwandan genocide was also begun and furthered through totalism, alienation, socialization to aggressiveness and other social constructions. Before the country was colonized, the Rwandan people lived as one cohesive group, made up of multiple cultural identities, but the Belgians taught them to view one another as different, as enemies.11 The Belgians had a primordialist sense of ethnicity – they issued each Rwandan an identity card, which solidified Rwandans' previously fluid ethnic identities and allowed the Belgians to arbitrarily privilege one ethnic group over another. As each group vied for political power, then, individuals redirected their aggression towards the other ethnicity as a whole, and their traumatic experiences with injustice led many Rwandans to embrace extremism. Those in power then escalated the conflict by promoting this antagonistic culture; as Gourevitch writes, "genocide, after all, is an exercise in community building."12 Leading up to the Rwandan genocide, propagandists preached over the airwaves and "conscious-raising meetings" were held by local leaders, backed by the state. These officials described their opponents as devils, unworthy of dignity or respect and criminals, deserving of punishment. They conditioned laymen into joining their case by "[rewarding] them with petty spoils" of war.13
Social constructivist theories not only explain the ways in which violent conflicts begin and are continued, but they also tell us that we can prevent violence and achieve positive peace if we work to create different circumstances. However, this requires us to take a different approach. The international community tends to intervene after conflicts have started, or worse, to lend tacit approval or even concrete support to war wagers. Once violence has broken out, though, and entire generations of children have learned to kill senselessly, it is too late to save the lives of countless victims and the psyches of many participants. It is not impossible to restore positive peace after violence has erupted, but intervening earlier can prevent conflict from becoming violent in the first place.
Both the Rwandan and Sierra Leonean conflicts arose in reaction to political injustice, when the concentration and abuse of power led to social and economic inequality and eventually, the structural violence became unbearable for the oppressed. We can think of these wars, then, as structural violence made physical; it follows that if we can eliminate structural violence and promote equitable social systems, we can prevent violent conflict though the creation of positive peace in its place.
Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. demonstrated how unjust political systems can be challenged and changed through non-violent direct action. Although many around them questioned the effectiveness of their tactics, both successfully used moral persuasion and social pressure to make negative peace positive. Conflict is natural, but as Martin Luther King Jr. explained in his "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," it does not have to become violent. In King's eyes, non-violent direct action can prevent this from happening. He wrote, "The Negro has many pent-up resentments and latent frustrations, and he must release them. So let him march; let him make prayer pilgrimages to the city hall; let him go on freedom rides – and try to understand why he must do so. If his repressed emotions are not released in nonviolent ways, they will seek expression through violence; this is not a threat but a fact of history."14
Instead of allowing tensions to erupt into violence, we must use peaceful methods to resolve conflicts, on the individual, nationwide and international levels. Instead of teaching young children to hate, for example, through the example of adults around them, we must socialize them so that they learn cooperation and peacefulness. Organizations such as Peace Games that teach conflict resolution to schoolchildren should be expanded and replicated worldwide. In addition, microloans and other development programs should be better funded, political inequities must be challenged and addressed, and free trade must be made fair for less powerful nations, so that all people have the opportunity to better their quality of life.Continued on Next Page »

TOLLGATE -- Names have released of those involved in Tuesday night's shooting of an armed man by law enforcement in rural Umatilla County.
The shooting occurred about 7:28 p.m. when Oregon State Police Trooper Ryan Sharp and Umatilla County sheriff's Deputy Morgan Dunlap encountered the man armed with a rifle while they were investigating and searching for a driver involved in an earlier traffic crash near here.
The man, identified as Michael T. Summers, 52, was shot three times after he failed to drop the weapon aimed at the officers, according to a news release. He is being treated in the intensive care unit at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland.
Summers reportedly had a federal parole violation warrant for his arrest related to a previous weapons offense.
Both officers remain on paid department leave pending the investigation.
A multiagency investigation into the shooting is continuing.

Decision to speak truth is always the best decision
Dec 27th
Working as a freelance web developer alone with no one to help, it was okay till now but since few months I was checking on my daily schedule that I had almost no time left for myself. Earlier I used to take out time for my hobby, some exercise, little things that kept me social like visiting friends place at various occasions or just hanging out and having a good time etc. but now all I was doing was eating, sleeping and working. Due to this change in life style I noticed rapid increase in body weight as well, which is not a good sign at all.
I thought of hiring someone to work for me but again this freelance work was so typical that I could not find anyone around me worth hiring. I talked about this issue with my friends and one of them who was also from computer background suggested that I can give her some work to do and she will do it for free just for learning and work experience. I agreed and also committed that if her work was good, I would pay for the work, but she insisted that she does not need money.
It began with little easy and small task which I gave her to check her ability and she did a kind of "just okay" job and I knew I was not going to get any worthwhile help from her in my freelance work. I lied and said that her work was good although I was not satisfied. Later on I gave her some designing work to check her taste of colours and how well she understands the current design trends and she failed badly in it. Her design work was pathetic but again to make her not feel bad I said it was good. Although I said it was good since I didn't use her design in final project and obviously it got rejected by the client as well, she understood now that she needs some training and I agreed to give her that, but I was still quite hopeless. Just like I thought, even after several months of training, I was not seeing any progress and during these time, just that she doesn't feel bad I used to say that you are working well and you are learning fast and so on.
Now during festive season I usually have truckloads of work with myself as I also take some print design jobs from my local clients and I was not having a minute of free time. However I continued with the training and all this time I was lying that yes I got time but in reality I had no time at all. At last I have to give up when I learnt that she is still stuck from where we started and there was no development at all. I had to speak the truth one by one, starting that I simply have no more time for training now. Wish I had said this much before and saved so much time and embarrassment.
When we manipulate someone, although it seems to work for the moment but then deep inside us we know that we are not doing good and that makes us feel uncomfortable after sometime. Here is a nice TVC by Kinley which shows exactly the same feeling of regret and how one can fix it by just speaking the truth.
How much does it cost to be polite?
Aug 15th
At the day of Eid this year I really appreciated how my SBI bank's ATM near Muslim area was especially loaded with brand new printed currency. They knew that we will withdraw for giving "eedi" this day and not for eid shopping and it's a trend to give new untwisted notes this day to children as eedi.
However few days before Eid I was shopping and skipped this ATM due to long queue there and went to other one of the same bank but different branch. This one was little far but I knew there won't be a long queue there. But on reaching the stop I found out of two ATM machines only one was working. I went for the one which was working and 3 people were standing already for their turn. A man comes and ask the guard for the banks IFSC code. The guard tells him to wait till he gets the code. These codes are usually written inside the notice board of bank in bold and this person surely was new. This person happen to be standing in front of the ATM machine which was not working. Suddenly a bank employee enters the ATM room in a hurry and shouts, "everyone out, one machine is closed and I am going to close the second one too". These were his words in a very rude fashion. He also gave some lecture to the person waiting for IFSC code that why was he standing in front of a closed machine. I was not offended by all this scene created by this bank employee but I thought what the need of this rude behavior? No one is the queue was abstaining from moving out and certainly no sane person would still stand there to stare at blank ATM machine screen. I feel sorry for the people who lose their temper unnecessarily. Being polite does not cost anything, but earns you respect.
Modern healthcare – only reason we live longer now
May 19th
Earlier in olden days when someone fell sick, people didn't knew the actual disease and medical science at that time was also not advanced enough to treat every disease found in humans. With advancement in medical science, today's modern healthcare system has the ability to cure almost every disease. This is a reason why we have longer lifespan now even when we are living stressful life, facing pollution everyday and eating unhealthy junk food. Modern healthcare has been a blessing to human being.
It is unfortunate to see some people still believing in quacks and things like amulet etc. There is a very famous person here in my city who gives amulet for every disease and problems and people claim that they get benefit. I doubt if this was true and enquired people whom I knew well and they told me their sad story that even after years of wearing charm and doing various stuff told by that person, their illness did not got cured at all. Add to it, that person selling amulet was suffering from some illness and it came to my knowledge that he went to hospital for the treatment. Now it's really eye opening that if he really had a cure for everything by just wearing amulet, why doesn't he himself wear one and get rid of his illness? What really happen and make these type of people famous is the self healing power of our body. Some people find relief even when they do not take any medicine and it's all by our body mechanism of handling damage caused to our body by illness. These same people if wear amulet, give all the credit to the person who gave them the amulet and forget how their own body worked hard to cure it.
Latest innovations in medical science have given birth to many life saving medicines and cutting edge medical equipments that helps saving life's everyday. Simple things we might even ignore, like vaccines and tetanus injection which have been a life saver for all of us today.
Volume Down Please
Apr 8th
Its 12 midnight and I am hearing to free Quwali (that actually I don't want to right now), thanks to people nearby who I don't know but are some strange people for sure who don't need to sleep and need really high volume of everything. By law all loud speakers should be shut down after 10PM and this is strictly followed in banquet halls here but right now the sound is coming from some residential area. Its not a problem of today, its like a season which comes when these unknown people start playing Quwali or mushaira or religious speeches or sometimes even movie songs and when they do it, they continue it till 1 AM or 2 AM. I am not interfering in anyone's life but if these people do want to listen to all this things at night only, why don't they keep the volume a little lower so that they can listen themselves? I know these people are at least 2 or more KM's away and they can keep volume high if they like and still not disturb me but don't know what their problem that they keep it so high. Since years I am not able to sleep when these people start playing at such high volume, and only wish if I could find them, reach the spot and break their speakers. Enough of it, I need to complain about these people but on second thought I will be leaving this place after some weeks and when others don't have any problem, let these fools enjoy.

(Realise there's a 'where should I start thread' but I've got a tonne of questions and thought they'd stand a better chance of being answered in a separate thread.)
So, haven't read any comics in years, and even then all I've read are some books/major events like Civil War, Dark Avengers, World War Hulk: X-Men, Messiah Complex, House of M so I have a slight idea of events/timelines.
Been wanting to get into it properly for a while though and read something ongoing. Just finished reading the Apocalypse Situation and really enjoyed it so I'm thinking of going with Uncanny X-Force but I'm a bit worried it'll end up like the last series I was interested in (Dark Avengers) and end pretty quickly. Impossible to say I imagine but do people think it'll be something that goes on for a while? I'd also like to read some X-Men but no idea which series to choose, X-Men/Astonishing/Uncanny/whatever else there is. I guess I'd prefer the series parallel to Uncanny X-Force unless there's another that's significantly better.
So basically
Uncanny X-Force, finishing soon or long lasting ongoing series?
How many X-Men series are there?
Which would you recommend I read alongside X-Force?
Any necessary back reading?
Think that's all for now, thanks a lot in advance.

So we tried a loose swaddle in the rock n play before attempting crib for a couple of nights and it was a disaster.
We then decided to tight swaddle her again and work in getting her in the crib. That's not going well either. We have the crib set up to mimic the rock n play as much as possible (rolled towel under bum, plush velvety sheet, crib wedge).
My concern is, she needs to not be swaddled because she's rolling over now. But I can't even get her to sleep swaddled in crib for more than an hr let alone unswaddled. So what do I do...
*Work on getting her out of swaddle but keep her in RNP while we do this?
*Work on getting her in crib still swaddled even though it may take weeks and she's already 5 months old?
*Or work on both at the same time, in which case I can't possibly imagine how she'll sleep at all? Poor baby.
She was STTN until this all started. Please help. I don't know what to do. Our pedi had no advice. He just said go cold turkey. In other words CIO. I can't do that.

As soon as the game ended, North Carolina A&T wanted to forget it. Sean Kilpatrick had a career-high 29 points on Sunday, hitting eight shots from behind the arc, and the 24th-ranked Bearcats dominated from the outset of a 93-39 victory over the Aggies on Sunday. The Bearcats (3-0) opened with a 14-point run that featured four 3s by Kilpatrick, who got wide-open shots all around the arc. Cincinnati's lead never slipped below double digits. It wound up as the Bearcats' most lopsided win since 1994. Kilpatrick had 21 points in the opening half and matched his career best with six 3-pointers. He made more shots from beyond the arc than the Aggies (1-3) did overall in the half - NC A&T was 4 of 30. The Aggies knew what he could do, but left him unguarded too many times. ''We didn't make the adjustments,'' coach Cy Alexander said. ''We told them what he was capable of doing. This was the first game that I was disappointed in our defensive effort. We knew what we had to do f...

The roots of English stupidity
July 28, 2014 | 2:25 pm
By Paul St John Mackintosh
The roots of English anti-intellectualism and willful ignorance are long, deep, and twisted. The consequences you can see all over, in terms of literacy levels, reading habits, social order, and even prison numbers, and many other metrics that TeleRead tracks, but the causes are buried in the English past. Just every so often, however, it helps to lay them bare to explain just what the hell is going on in England, and what kind of hope, if any, there is for the country.
The odd thing is that most Protestant countries outside the Anglo-Saxon sphere are renowned for their high standards of education and intellectual life. Even Celtic Scotland is renowned for its emphasis on learning and diligent study as the traditional way for the poor wee laddie from the glens to make good. Not so England. Why? Because just after the English Civil War, the Cavalier Parliament concluded that the emphasis on mass education and individual learning associated with Biblical Protestantism had been responsible for nonconformism, rebellion, and regicide – and proscribed it. And in doing so, it cut out the linkage between Protestantism and general education that was later to be so important in scientific and industrial developments in Scotland, Germany, and elsewhere.
The Clarendon Code articulated this policy in a series of acts. The Corporation Act of 1661 essentially kept non-Church of England Protestants (and Catholics) out of civic office, and from being awarded degrees by Oxford or Cambridge universities. The 1662 Act of Uniformity pushed Protestants who did not use the Book of Common Prayer out of the Church of England. The 1664 Conventicle Act banned unauthorized religious meetings. And above all, the 1665 Five Mile Act stopped nonconformist ministers from teaching in schools. So the link between literacy, Bible study, learning, and advancement that proved so fruitful elsewhere in Europe was cut forever in England.
Effectively, the English gentry had decided that the English people should be kept ignorant to be obedient. No coincidence that one of the greatest apologists for the Civil War regicides, John Milton, was also one of England's greatest ever intellectuals. English intellectuals have been on the endangered species list ever since, and the country is culturally, intellectually, economically, and even morally poorer for it. Often it has to import them from less unenlightened nations – step forward, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.
That tradition of know-nothing prejudice has been nurtured in England ever since. Is it any wonder that the "Ukip's bigoted populism" thrives in a country that has been so systematically undereducated? Even the Daily Mail – famed in past decades for its flirtations with Nazism – now runs discussion forums on England as "the nasty man of Europe" and "the stupid man of Europe." Just spare a thought for England's educators and librarians – see what they have to work against.
