I did a test with cardboard, planning to migrate to balsa wood, but after the project was completed, I liked the result so much that I kept it as it was.
Material Needed:
Wood Plaques
Tinted transparent paper
Tools Needed:
TechShop membership
Laser Engraver
Table Saw or Router
Corel Draw (R) or any other vector-capable software
Paper glue
Polyurethane spray
Danish oil (or any other wood stain/finish)
Step 1: Preparing the project
For your convenience, and out of my generosity, i made the Corel draw file available HERE.
Just open and you should be good to go. Just a comment: there are other decorations in the file, they are hidden and print disabled (see the layer named "non select").
Follow the guidelines for the power and speed depending on the cardboard thickness.
Since the design is very complex, I suggest to either increase 10% the power or decrease 10% the speed, because you don't want to end up with parts not completely cut through, and need either to redo the job or -even worse- to cut the pieces manually with a knife!
Step 2: Cutting
You will notice that one side has the typical "laser burns": don't worry, we'll take care of this the next steps.
Step 3: Finishing the exterior side
Lay the pieces on a mat or cardboard, with the side with "Laser burns" down.
With a steady flow, spray several coats of poly, letting it dry within coats.
The poly will dry fast, because the cardboard will absorb it. Be careful not to insist too long on a spot, or you will wet the cardboard and make it look darker.
plz Some one reupload The File
Hm, the link does not work anymore :-(
Could you reupload the file?

The company manufactures equipment used in construction, infrastructure, quarrying, mining, shipping, transportation, refining, energy, utility and manufacturing industries.
Terex currently operates a 700,000 square-foot-plant in Oklahoma City with about 150 employees. The company did not reveal the projected cost of the upgrade or whether it will affect the number of employees at the plant.

Carla Barnhill from Minneapolis, Minn., is a finalist in the Dear GMA Advice Guru Contest. Read her application below!
Dear GMA, It's clear from your letter that you are in the middle of a huge decision. You have thousands of applications in front of you and have to choose one person to fill this huge hole in your mornings. I get that. I really do. And I wish I could hop out to New York and fix this for you. But I can't. Not yet. What I can do is tell you that the answer is sitting right here in Minnesota. The answer is Carla Barnhill. Look, I know you've got lots of perfectly good options in front of you, but when you get down to it, I think you know that "perfectly good" isn't going to cut it on national television. That's where Carla can help. ... GMA, you are in a tough spot and there's no easy way out of it. But I'm convinced that Carla Barnhill can and will change morning television if you're willing to let her.
What's the best advice you have ever given? What was the result?
I've given my best advice to myself: Yes, you should move across the country by yourself even though you have no idea what you'll do when you get there. It will be worth it when you gain a sense of strength and independence you didn't know you needed. Yes, you should take the job that pays squat and makes you happy. It will pay you back in friendships, in memories, in confidence in your ability to make a difference in the lives of other people. Yes, you should marry that boy. He will make you laugh, make you angry, make you smarter, and make you a vastly better person. I keep telling myself to trust my gut. It has never steered me wrong.
What would you tell this person: "Whenever there is an issue between my mother-in-law and me, my husband refuses to stand up for me. How do I get him to value our relationship more than the one with his mother?
You don't. One of the worst things a wife can do to her husband is make him choose between her and his mother. Instead, you need to focus on your relationship with your husband and your relationship with your mother-in-law. If you have issues with your mother-in-law, talk to her about those issues. Treat her the way you'd treat an irksome co-worker or a neighbor who gets on your nerves now and then. Be an adult, stay calm, talk about what's bugging you, change what you need to change, then move on. And keep some perspective. If these issues are huge -- she's abusive toward your children, she's cruel to your husband, she's stealing money from you -- then you need to take action to protect yourself and your family. But if these issues are the minor irritations that come from joining a family, then find a way to let them slide before they hurt your marriage.
What would you tell this person: "While cleaning my son's room, I accidentally saw on his Facebook page threatening remarks from his friends. I fear he's being bullied. What should I do?"

Panel 1: Boots on the Ground: The Ethical and Professional Battles of Public Defenders
This panel will bring together practicing public defenders, scholars and judges [and/or academics] to discuss a public defender's ethical and professional duties to his or her clients in light of extremely demanding caseloads. The panel will consider a number of related questions, for example: Can a public defender with an impossible workload refuse to accept additional cases in order to avoid committing malpractice? Should public defenders be held to the same professional standard of care as privately employed attorneys? What are the ethical responsibilities of supervising lawyers and public defender administrators who recognize that their lawyers cannot provide quality representation in the face of crushing caseloads?
10:15 a.m.
Earl F. Nelson Lecture
Presented by Stephen B. Bright
1:00 p.m.
Panel 2: Anatomy of a Public Defender System
This panel will discuss the organization and administration of a public defender system. While states have experimented with various configurations, some have produced more successful outcomes than others. Individuals holding leadership positions in public defender systems as well as state legislators must consider how to most effectively organize the system and deliver services as cost-effectively as possible. In doing so, several questions arise: Should reforms focus more on reducing caseloads or increasing pay? Should systems focus on long-term attorney retention, or shift toward a limited term model as is currently employed for judicial clerkships? Should management of a state public defender system lie in the state executive branch or an independent commission? What is the best model for delivering indigent defense services in a world of limited resources?
3:15 p.m.
Panel 3: Patching the System: The Next Steps in Reform
In this panel, academics, judges, administrators and practitioners will discuss the process for moving forward in implementing changes to the indigent defense system. While legislatures are responsible for appropriating government dollars, much debate has centered on what judges can or should do when the legislature refuses or is unable to act. Important legal questions arise in this context: Can state or federal courts order a state legislature to adequately fund public defender systems? Can private attorneys be compelled to take on cases by order of a court? How do we resolve conflicts when prosecutorial decisions made by of the executive branch in certain high profile criminal cases interfere with legislative decisions regarding allocation of state funding or the judicial branch's ability to ensure justice in hundreds of other cases?

text: Healthcare Decisionmaking Full Title: Enabling Health Care Decisionmaking Through Clinical Decision Support and Knowledge Management Topic page summarizing evidence report on enabling health care decisionmaking through the use of clinical decision support and knowledge management. April 2012This evidence report is part of a three-report series focusing on the strategic goals of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ's) health information technology (Health IT) portfolio. This report specifically explores facilitating health care decisionmaking through Health IT. As the level of sophistication of electronic health records (EHRs) increases, the need for more sophisticated clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) and electronic knowledge management systems (KMSs) is imperative, as is the need for better operational use of these systems. The goals of this report are to summarize the available evidence related to CDSSs and KMSs, highlight the limitations of the evidence, and identify areas for future research.View or download ReportStructured AbstractObjectives: To catalogue study designs used to assess the clinical effectiveness of CDSSs and KMSs, to identify features that impact the success of CDSSs/KMSs, to document the impact of CDSSs/KMSs on outcomes, and to identify knowledge types that can be integrated into CDSSs/KMSs.Data Sources: MEDLINE®, CINAHL®, PsycINFO®, and Web of Science®.Review Methods: We included studies published in English from January 1976 through December 2010. After screening titles and abstracts, full-text versions of articles were reviewed by two independent reviewers. Included articles were abstracted to evidence tables by two reviewers. Meta-analyses were performed for seven domains in which sufficient studies with common outcomes were included.Results: We identified 15,176 articles, from which 323 articles describing 311 unique studies including 160 reports on 148 randomized control trials (RCTs) were selected for inclusion. RCTs comprised 47.5 percent of the comparative studies on CDSSs/KMSs. Both commercially and locally developed CDSSs effectively improved health care process measures related to performing preventive services (n = 25; OR 1.42, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.27 to 1.58), ordering clinical studies (n = 20; OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.47 to 2.00), and prescribing therapies (n = 46; OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.35 to 1.82).Fourteen CDSS/KMS features were assessed for correlation with success of CDSSs/KMSs across all endpoints. Meta-analyses identified six new success features:Integration with charting or order entry system.Promotion of action rather than inaction.No need for additional clinician data entry.Justification of decision support via research evidence.Local user involvement.Provision of decision support results to patients as well as providers.Three previously identified success features were confirmed:Automatic provision of decision support as part of clinician workflow.Provision of decision support at time and location of decisionmaking.Provision of a recommendation, not just an assessment.Only 29 (19.6%) RCTs assessed the impact of CDSSs on clinical outcomes, 22 (14.9%) assessed costs, and 3 assessed KMSs on any outcomes. The primary source of knowledge used in CDSSs was derived from structured care protocols.Conclusions: Strong evidence shows that CDSSs/KMSs are effective in improving health care process measures across diverse settings using both commercially and locally developed systems. Evidence for the effectiveness of CDSSs on clinical outcomes and costs and KMSs on any outcomes is minimal. Nine features of CDSSs/KMSs that correlate with a successful impact of clinical decision support have been newly identified or confirmed.

By Linda D. KozarynAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7, 1998 NATO-led stabilization forces detained Bosnian Serb Gen. Radislav Krstic Dec. 2 in northeastern Bosnia.
Krstic, the highest-ranking indicted war criminal detained to date, was indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia in October 1998. As commander of the Drina Corps of the Bosnian Serb army, the indictment alleges, Krstic committed genocide between July and November 1995 in the Muslim section of the town of Srebrenica.
According to press reports, Serbs killed more than 8,000 Muslims after rounding them up in the former U.N. safe area and marching them into the mountains.
Krstic is also charged with extermination, murder and persecutions and complicity to commit genocide. He is charged for his personal involvement and as a commander responsible for the actions of his forces.
In Washington, Pentagon spokesman Ken Bacon said Krstic's detention represents a continuing effort to see that war criminals are brought to justice.
"From the very beginning our policy has been that war criminals should turn themselves in or be apprehended by local police forces," Bacon said.
When SFOR troops have run across war criminals in the normal course of business, however, they've apprehended them if conditions were appropriate, he noted. "Part of making the conditions appropriate is to do this in ways that don't present unusual risks to SFOR troops," he said. "So, sometimes, steps are taken to make sure that the risk is minimized for allied troops."
Krstic's detention should be a warning to indicted criminals still at large, Bacon added. "Every time a war criminal is apprehended or turns himself in for trial, it should be clear that this is what can happen to any indicted war criminal in Bosnia."
NATO Secretary-General Javier Solana commended the SFOR troops and their commanders "for their courage, professionalism and dedication in carrying out this action, which will contribute to the continued consolidation of the peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina."
Solana said other indicted war criminals still at large should "realize that they too, will be brought to justice. Once again, I call on these indictees to surrender immediately to the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia.

On the surface, it seems a little silly to give a real review to a fake rap album. But The Lonely Island is not your average musical comedy group. They nab huge guest spots and write soaring hooks around songs that are good enough to make you have to decide between singing along and cracking up. Plus, with a Grammy nomination under their belts, they know how important they are to the music world ("We invented this fake rap shit/the world needs us!"). Who are we to argue with them? The dudes are back, and that's never a bad thing.
Turtleneck & Chain starts out strong – the boys bring the laughs fast and furious for the first four songs. Album opener "We're Back" is a perfect send-up of any big name rap album intro – complete with Jorma Taccone as the hype man – that juxtaposes the hard rap feel with the very un-rap lyrical content about the their own impotence. Like many of their songs, the next track "Mama" is a one-note joke – but like many others, it's so funny that it doesn't matter.
The boys get to Turtleneck & Chain's major highlight fast, as the Akon-featuring "I Just Had Sex" comes in just under four minutes into the album. In terms of viral internet impact, "I Just Had Sex" is up there with "Dick in a Box" and "Jizz in My Pants" as one of their mega hits. With over 90 million (and counting) YouTube views, it's unquestionably the most popular song on the album – only the "Dick in a Box" sequel "Motherlover" even comes somewhat close. Both of these hits work well on the album without their visual counterparts. The sheer joy of "Sex" especially oozes off the record, and it's always great to hear Justin Timberlake singing again in any capacity (seriously, JT, come back to music), even if it's all about him loving Andy Samberg's mother ("Imma be the syrup, she can be my waffle").
The guest list on this record is impressive – with everyone from Michael Bolton to Nicki Minaj – but some of them work much better than others. Michael Bolton in particular gets put to good use in "Jack Sparrow" – the boys just want to make a sexy club jam, but Bolton is distracted by the Pirates of the Caribbean marathon he just watched and ends up singing about Jack Sparrow instead, much to the chagrin of Samberg and the gang. It's a great gag that gets better when put to video, but it still plays almost as well in simple audio. On the other hand, Beck apparently showed up on "Attracted to Us", but it's easy to miss if you aren't looking for it, as he's mostly relegated to being a backup singer. Others still are just there – Snoop Dogg's guest verse seems like it could have shown up on any Snoop-featuring track. Yes, he's singing about fluffy turtlenecks and sippin' on light beer, but seeing as how he's become a big parody of himself these days, it doesn't seem too far off anyways.
Just like Incredibad, the non-digital short songs are a mixed bag. Even the most uneven ones have their moments, but only a couple really live up to their SNL-appearing counterparts. The title track is just a wonderfully silly rap song, while "No Homo" is a fantastic parody of the dumb trend of rappers tossing around "no homo" to defend themselves against sounding gay. Predictably, the song ends up with at least one of the dudes coming out of the closet (but, "no homo"!) and then just as the album began, there's a great take on any-given-album's outro. The dudes wear some of their influences on their sleeves this time around, as "Rocky" is just a more outrageous (and gory) take on DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince's "I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson", while "Trouble on Dookie Island" is a pitch-perfect Ghostface Killah parody. If it weren't so ridiculous (and wasn't about poop), it wouldn't sound too out of place on FishScale – the dudes never stop rapping for a hook, and it's got a Scarface audio clip in there for good measure.
In the end, Turtleneck & Chain ends up being about on par with Incredibad – maybe even a bit better, regardless of the flaws. This is not something that is meant to be overly scrutinized. This is a comedy album that just happens to have more catchy songs than your average pop radio album. Yes, the lyrics are sophomoric and vulgar, but why the hell would you want it any other way? Pop it in, sing along, and prepare to laugh your ass off.

Talented young producer from Indonesia, Angger Dimas' debut EP 'Don't Look Back In Angger' is jam packed with three different styles of songs that prove how versatile he can be. Already having an amazing year with his collaboration on 'Phat Brahms' with Steve Aoki, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, and an upcoming full-length album in August 2013, this new upcoming EP covers three totally different genres that everyone can enjoy. The first track, 'Good Stuff' is a slamming vocal moombahton collaboration with Vandalism that's got a beat on fire. Switching it up on 'Never Been,' we travel back in time with some funky disco house for a groovy dancefloor, and last but not least, 'Gotta Be' has Angger's signature electro sound and crazy synths to wrap up this diverse album that shows off his real talent.
Keep an eye out for a release date for 'Don't Look Back In Angger' on Dim Mak Records!

Step 1: Tools
Chainsaw or other saw beefy enough to cut a log to length.
1"drill bit
Pipe wrench (optional)
Wood Glue
(1) Log - 6inches diameter minimum, 3 feet long
(4) 2 inch diameter sticks for legs , 1.5 feet long
Step 2: Cut log and legs to length
Find a straight section of a log long enough to be a bench. The length doesn't need to be exact, but should be long enough for two people to sit on with a little extra between them and on each end. You could extend the design for three people, but if you do, I'd recommend adding two more legs in the middle for extra support. If you use a log with a larger diameter, you should increase the diameter of the supports and drill holes.
(1) Log - 6inches diameter minimum, 3 feet long
(4) 2 inch diameter sticks for legs , 1.5 feet long
Step 3: Drill holes for legs
Brace the log and mark a straight line down the length of the log on what will be the bottom of the bench. Drill holes six inches from the ends of the log at least two inches deep straight toward the core of the log. Rotate the log 60 degrees and drill two more holes as before.

Sergei Prokofiev - The Gambler
Director: Dmitri Tcherniakov
Ognovenko, Opolais, Didyk, Toczyska, Rügamer
Staatskapelle Berlin
Based on Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novel of the same name, The Gambler is a dark study of human failings and the corruptive power of money.
In this work, everyone gambles: the hero Alexei, the General and even the wealthy aunt Babulenka gamble with money; Blanche, the Marquis and Polina - who loves Alexei - gamble with their fellow human beings. The results are humiliation, ruin and self-delusion.
The Staatskapelle Berlin under the baton of world-famous conductor Daniel Barenboim provides the orchestral sound to the full, lustrous voices of Misha Didyk, Kristine Opolais, Vladimir Ognovenko and Stefania Toczyska.
Recorded live at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden, Berlin, March 2008.

Lymphedema is an accumulation of lymphatic fluid causing abnormal swelling of the arms, legs, breast, abdomen, neck or head.
Lymphedema develops when lymphatic vessels are damaged or lymph nodes are removed (secondary), or when lymphatic vessels are impaired or missing (primary).
Lymphedema occurs when the impairment becomes so great that the lymphatic fluid exceeds the lymphatic transport capacity.
Lymphedema becomes apparent when the protein rich fluid builds up and swelling begins.
Any invasive procedure should be done with care. Other potential problems to consider when suffering from Lymphedema may include:
Circle of Hope Lymphedema Foundation
Breast Cancer Action Nova Scotia - resources for people living with breast cancer.
The National Lymphedema Network (NLN)

Homemade New Year's Eve Party Crowns.
Yesterday I shared a quick DIY for upgrading store-bought party horns for the countdown to midnight. I had similar feelings about the poor selection of New Year's Eve crowns at the party store and decided to whip up a few of my own. Using a store-bought crown as a template, I traced the bottom portion of the paper crown and then drew my own message for each crown. Using a sharp knife, I cut out the message from glitter scrapbook paper. Then I simple attached the cardboard cut-out piece with the two tabs I left and a few staples to the original crown headband! I can't wait to pass these out to guests at the party!
Guest Post: Glittery Polka Dot Holiday Wrapping
I'm off to New York today to wrap up the year and head home for the holidays, so I have a festive little guest post to share with you from Navya of The Little Flower Cottage:
When Kate mentioned that she wanted to do a guest post on gift wrap styling, I jumped at the chance to share what I've been whipping up in my own little workshop this season! I don't know about you, but for me, receiving a beautifully wrapped package is almost as exciting as what's inside. This year I went with some simple polka dot kraft wrapping paper (a TJMaxx score!) that I embellished with sprigs of pine, cinnamon sticks and gold glitter. I didn't feel like the white dots were festive enough so I brushed on a thin layer of glue and dusted away with some Martha Stewart glitter. Presto! An instant touch of glam to otherwise rustic packaging. I can't wait to hand them off to friends and family next week!
Jazz hands.
Inspired by a post yesterday on Joanna's blog, I popped into the pharmacy last night and bought some Salon Effects nail strips. I can NOT stop looking at how sparkly my nails are… they're twinkling as I type! I was a little skeptical with press-on application, but they really feel like regular nail polish and were extremely easy to apply. Everyone needs a little glitter in their life, right?

Culture is embedded in the high peaks of Nepal, tradition flows with its rivers, art traverses through its valleys and religion lies in the heart of its people. Nepal, in short, is a country where art, culture and religion are a part of life of the inhabitants. People celebrate every moment with aroma, adding novelty to the traditions without affecting their essence.Culture is the very pride & soul of a Nation. It is just like a mirror that reflects the beauty, nativity & the life pattern of the people. Culture in essence always plays a crucial role to promote harmonious relationship between country to country. NEC Travels has Participated with different culture group in several national & international social , Culture & tourism promotion programs organised in different places sponsored by various related organisations.The dances as : Arati dance, Bajrayogini dance, Bhojpuri dance , Drum solo , Dhimey dance, Lakhe dance, Maruni dance , Peacock dance,Shebru dance, Yak dance , Jhankri dance ( Witch Docter ) Jhaure dance etc.
Nepalese Art
The art and architecture of Nepal is deeply influenced by the religion. Unique craftsmanship can be found in temples, architecture, shrines, fountains and the design of religious objects. Art and religion is so deeply interlocked that it is impossible to separate the one from the other. All art forms express both Hindu
Nepalese Dance and Music
History of Nepal
Nepal's history is interwoven with its two great neighbours', China and India. It was influenced to aHistory of Nepal large extent by the incidents that proved to be turning points in the history of both of these countries.
Its earliest recorded history dates back over 2,800 years when a caste of Mongolian people, the Kiratis, arrived in the Himalayan territory across the Tibetan plateau. The current Nepali castes of Limbu and Rai are believed to be direct descendants of the Kiratis.
Around 300 A.D.The Lichhavis and the Guptas migrated north to Nepal from the northern plains of India ( Bihar & Uttar Pradesh). The Kiratis who were Buddhist descendants were forced to leave by them.Hinduism then became the official religion of the country. The Licchavis ruled for three centuries until being replaced by the Thakuris in 602 A.D.
Ansuverma the founder of the Thakuri Dynasty was a clever and wealthy king. In order to protect his northern borders from attacks by the Tibetan kings, he married his daughter off to a Tibetan prince.
The 12th century saw the start of the Malla Dynasty. King Arideva, the first ruler, brought about great progress and prosperity for the Himalayan Kingdom. The Mallas, though Hindu, were tolerant of the other major religion of the time Buddhism, they were however particularly strict when enforcing the caste system. The dynasty, through lack of political awareness, suffered a major reverse within a century, eventualy loosing control over large parts of the country, which in turn split into small states. This was partly due to the frequent invasions of India by Muslim armies from the northwest and also a series of inner squablings amongst the state rulers in Nepal. It was nearly 100 years before peace was restored when a Malla King gathered an army and eventually took charge of the country. Meanwhile, two kingdoms Palpa and Khass began to gain power to challenge the Kathmandu valley, by this time Kathmandu had become the main state in Nepal.
In 1372 A.D. the Kathmandu valley had itself divided into three smaller Kingdoms: Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur. Jayasthiti Malla who controlled Kathmandu, took over the neighbouring city-state of Patan. A decade later the city-state of Bhaktapur was also conquered which unified the valley to a large extent.
The newly unified Kathmandu Valley expanded hugely during the rule of his successor, King Yaksha Malla. By the middle of the next century Nepal's borders extended southwards to the Ganga river and north into Tibet. During this time, the caste system was reinforced as an attractive method of maintaining social stability. On the death of Yaksha Malla in 1482 A.D., the valley was divided into three major settlements between his three sons .These settlements form the major towns of the valley today : Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur. Intense rivalry broke out between the brothers, each in competition with the other to build the best settlement. It was over this period 1482 to 1768 A.D. that most of the architecture and fine works of art to be seen today were built.
History of NepalThe Malla dynasty enjoyed almost three more centuries. By the middle of the 18th century, Prithivi Narayan Shah, the ruler of a small kingdom named Gorkha had gained power over large sections of Nepal. He set about to unifying the many princely states by gradually extending his power until finally in 1768 A.D. he occupied the Kathmandu valley. Nepals borders were established, much as they are today.
The Shahs continued to rule Nepal until 1846 A.D.. Following a bloody battle with the Rana family, big landowners from the west, they lost power. Jung Bahadur Rana planned what is known as the kot massacre, he murdered along with others all the court and political leaders of Nepal in a single swoop. He proclaimed himself prime minister and took all the executive power from the monarchy, reducing the influence of the King to name only. The position of prime minister became hereditary within the Rana family, this situation continued for over a century with the Shah Kings almost prisoners in the palace.
After India gained independence in 1947A.D. King Tribhuvan fled to Delhi to ask for support in an effort to surpress Rana rule. With the support of India, the political parties of Nepal were able to raise the people to finally overthrow the Rana regime. King Tribhuvan returned in triumph in 1950 A.D. The Nepali people were not keen for a return to a totalitarian monarchy and following political pressure,King Mahendra instilled a constitutional parliamentary system.The first elections were held in 1959 A.D. Nepali Congress activist and leader B.P.Koirala, became the first elected prime minister of Nepal.
Democracy was short lived, within a year the King dissolved the parliament and placed the entire cabinet under arrest, before again assuming total control. A decentralised pseudo-democratic system (Panchayt) was installed which was designed to keep power in the hands of an elite few. Upon the death of King Mahendra in 1972 A.D., his son Birendra succeeded him. Birendra's lack of political reform drew sharp criticism from the parties.This period also saw a lot of squabbling between the political parties who were unable to raise any coherent form of resistance. By 1989 A.D., the parties with the help of India, managed to form a movement which was able to challenge the King.1990 A.D. saw the onset of strikes and demonstrations which were quickly followed by riots,over one hundred people were killed in a few days. King Birendra eventually bowed to the people's demands, he dismissed the Panchayat system and asked the parties to form an interim government, in turn limiting his own power. The first free and fair elections were held that year.
The following 12 years of democracy were generally viewed as not successful and very corrupt. In 1996 A.D. the Maoist party was formed by small democratic party (Nepal communist party of Maoists). They took up arms and retreated to the Jungle and hill areas. The major reason given for their formation was, they were unhappy with the lack of any real change in peoples lives.
2001 saw the bloody killing of King Birendra, allegedly by his son. Birendra's younger brother Gayanendra assumed power. He soon manipulated the government to suit his own needs. In 2005 he took complete control of the government, appointing his own set of ministers, many who had roots in the old Panchayat era.
By 2006 the political parties and the Maoists had come to a joint understanding, alienating the King who was no longer able to play one off against the other. In May of 2006, following a bloody uprising by the people, the King was overthrown and an interim government restored. This government was based on the votes of the last free election.The understanding between the Maoists and parties is to change the present democratic system to a form of constituent assembly . The process is ongoing at the time of this book going to press.

Grella completed the afternoon with two catches for 53 yards.

The two parts you need to desolder and extend are the tuning dial and the volume/power dial.
After i had done the soldering, I made a card mock up of the radio just to make sure it all fit in.
Step 4: Building
cut your hessian to size but leave room for a hem. The hem will stop the hessian from fraying.
im trying to do this and i have the tuner soldered to the exact same spots they where on the board and now i can't tune. Help?
Now, get the hand crank mechanism perfected and that's another story. Good luck with that.

Justice, equity, and fairness are central concerns of everyday life. We frequently assess the fairness of individual acts, social programs, and institutional policies. This book explores how distributions of costs and benefits determine our intuitions about fairness. Some chapters examine the extent to which individual behavior deviates from normative theories of justice. This comparison requires an answer to the question of how fair distributions of resources or burdens should be made. Competing theories, such as utilitarianism and economic efficiency, are discussed. Other chapters investigate various rules and heuristics that people use to make fair distributions, the motivation for people to conform to rules of fairness even when they conflict with self-interest, differences between liberals and conservatives in their views about justice, rules that societies actually use to distribute or allocate critical or scarce resources, and implications for public policy. This mixture of theoretical and applied perspectives provides a balanced look at the psychological underpinnings of justice.Read more

Reviews & endorsements
"The present tightly edited volume provides innovative and rigorous additions to this growing body of theoretical and empirical work....although the present volume clearly illustrates the usefulness of a behavioral decision theory in the study of justice, its greatest contribution lies in demonstrating how social goals and strategies, such as the pursuit of justice and fairness influence judgments and decisions about the allocation of valued resources." Terry L. Boles and Charles G. McClintock, Contemporary PsychologySee more reviews
"This edited volume is a splendid introduction to an important set of psychological studies in normative reasoning....These studies, and some of their implications, should indeed be grist for an ethicist's preferred theory of moral behavior." Ethics

As we all know, RnB megastars Rihanna and Chris Brown are not dating. They are merely friends who like to follow each other around the world, frolic on exotic beach locations and allegedly get their minders to "rough up" paparazzi who try and snap the pair.
So, we were a little surprised to see this motherf*cking HUGE diamond ring dangling off Ri-ri's wedding finger when she left London's Movida club on New Year's Day. Of course, it couldn't be an engagement ring, because as their people keep telling us, Rihanna is not dating Chris Brown.
So perhaps it's just a friendship ring. Yes, that must be right. Now please excuse us while we try and shield our eyes from the blinding light of this blinged-to-hell engagement friendship ring.
Here are some pictures of Chris Brown and Rihanna being friends. …

Graham joined Sunderland from Swansea City during the 2013 January transfer window, but he has yet to score in 13 appearances for the club.
He netted just once in 20 games on loan at Hull City during the first half of last season before rediscovering some form at former club Middlesbrough in the second half of the campaign.
Middlesbrough have held talks over a permanent deal for the 28-year-old, who has been left out of Sunderland's squad for the pre-season trip to Portugal.
With Sunderland hoping to bring Fabio Borini back to the Stadium of Light from Liverpool, Poyet suggested the opportunities for Graham will be limited.
"Danny has had a spasm in his back," said Poyet in the Sunderland Echo. "He hasn't trained for five days.
"I was trying to play him in one of the three games this week. But I'm not taking the whole squad to Portugal. There are people who are going to stay here. Danny is one of them.
"As everyone knows, we've got Fletch, Jozy and Connor, plus Fabio (Borini) if he comes in. It will be very difficult for Danny to be part of that group."

Richard Hudson's week in Washington
For the past four years leaders in Washington have promised the American people that the only path to a strong economy is through massive federal spending. The result? One of the slowest and flattest economic recoveries since World War II and higher unemployment in North Carolina today than when the President first took office.
The reason we can't climb out of this recession is because of Washington's out-of-control spending. If we are serious about getting America's economy back on track, it's time to stop believing in the government-spending fairy.
Last week the House took a good step in the right direction to start undoing the damage our economy has incurred. The House passed the Continuing Resolution (CR), preventing a government shutdown and reducing spending to 2008 levels. The Continuing Resolution's significant reduction in spending levels brought the top-line overall rate of spending down from $1.043 trillion to approximately $984 billion, including $85 billion in immediate cuts this year alone. This is a level I promised my constituents I would fight to achieve and I'm pleased to see we got there.
What we were also able to achieve in the Continuing Resolution is the restoration of some of the damage done to our military by the President's sequester. We now have provisions on the books which prioritize funding for the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs, and provide flexibility to the Pentagon to cut waste and preserve funding for necessary functions like training. This gives our military the tools they need to keep us safe and ensure our promises are being kept to our warfighters and veterans.
In addition, the vote was also a partial defunding of Obamacare. I know many constituents were concerned that the bill funded Obamacare, but in fact, it reduced funding for two of the main agencies that are in charge of implementing the healthcare overhaul: the CMS and the IRS. To further express my support for defunding the President's health care law, I signed a letter with 29 of my House colleagues prior to the vote, urging House leadership to include provisions in the bill that would defund this unconstitutional mandate.
Because of our victory in locking down significant spending reductions in the Continuing Resolution, agencies will find themselves funded at pre-Obamacare levels and therefore will find it difficult to access the necessary funds to implement the health care reform law. As Democrat Congresswoman Nita Lowey explained in her floor remarks: "Specifically, this bill will delay implementation of the Affordable Care Act scheduled to begin enrolling participants in October. Without IT infrastructure to process enrollments and payments, verify eligibility and establish call centers, health insurance for millions of Americans would [be] further delayed."
This is a tremendous victory for the American people and a first step towards our goal of balancing the budget in 10 years. We are just beginning our work to reduce our debt and create an atmosphere that fosters economic growth and job creation.
Was it all I wanted to cut? No. Am I satisfied? Absolutely not. But for the first time in a long time we took a positive and necessary step in the right direction and achieved historic spending cuts. You sent me to Washington to rein in federal spending and create jobs and I will continue to work hard to ensure Congress does just that.

PIEDMONT, Okla. — The City of Piedmont is considering getting rid of its police department in order to save money. That extra cash is proposed to go toward fixing the pothole filled roads. Some think this is a win-win for both sides, others say not so fast.
Residents say the rickety rocky roads in Piedmont are not just a nuisance but a pavement of pain for drivers and their vehicles. We talked to motorists near 164th Street and Sara Road.
"It rattles, I have things falling off all the time. There's no way to avoid the potholes when he whole entire road is a pothole," said one driver.
Another compared it to wagon trails; while another said "It's terrible, it's pretty rough ride on your car. I'd do anything to get the potholes fixed."
Mayor Valerie Thomerson shares that sentiment.
"I've cracked two rims hitting a pothole on one side," she says.
At this week's city council meeting a proposal was introduce that's projected to bring in enough revenue to fix the roads. Thomerson says dissolving the police department – and relying solely on resources from the sheriff's office – could be the answer to smoother paths and saving cash.
"It would save approximately $300,000 a year. It would also increase the number of officers on the street. It would give us a K-9 unit and access to a tactical team," said Thomerson.
Some residents agree with the idea as long as there is still a law enforcement presence.
But those who disagree with the proposal took to Facebook expressing disdain stating: "It shouldn't be considered at all!!!" and "That is the most outlandish idea I have ever heard of."
Others told us having to travel to El Reno to the sheriff's office for basic services is inconvenient and a step back from all the progress the city has made.
City leaders hope the 10 sworn officers working for the police department would get hired by sheriff's office if the proposal passes.
Police department officials aren't ready to comment; neither is the sheriff's office.
But a public document from the sheriff's' office shows a snapshot of what it could cost to hire eight deputies and a supervisor. The price tag would be more than $600,000.
Officials tell us, the proposal has to be approved by the district attorney's office first, then it would go back to city council for a vote.
We're told the Piedmont FOP will have a response to this proposals soon. Piedmont has a population of nearly 6,000 residents.
We will update this story at that time.

E.L.F. Brightening Eye Color Reviews
Everything you need for only a $1!I LOVED this product! The colors are super pigmented and the kit provides you with everything you need-a highlight, contour, and two base colors-for only $1. The product is actually pretty small, but they are so cheap that it doesn't matter. The texture of the shadows isn't as great as I could like it to be, but it doesn't really matter. The packaging is a little cheap, but thats mainly to keep...read more the costs down for the shadow itself. If you keep good care of it, then you should be fine. They offer a lot of great colors, and the natural ones are my favorite, but the more abstract colors are also great. I didn't notice much "eye-brightening" but its nonetheless a great quad, and its a great value for the money and packaging. — 4 years, 3 months agokwlreviewkid555 | 18 reviews

I have the drama shadow (black, grays, silvers)This is a nice basic shadow. I bought the shadow when I was visiting family in Iowa. It's a good shadow that goes on pretty well.

GOOD QUALITYI really like these eyeshadows because they are decently pigmented and the last a good amount of time. There are many color compacts to choose from, which I love. They are also very portable. You can have a whole eye look that is really small and fits well in even the tiniest purse. Even though it is tiny, it last for a long time and it is a great buy for a dollar!!:) — 4 years, 4 months agoamberp99 | 4 reviews

Meh...Okay I know this is only $1, but I still can't help but be disappointed. I got this in 'Drama' and the colors were very wishy-washy. No matter how much I packed on I still couldn't get the intensity I desired. And yes, I used a primer. — 4 years, 6 months agoJill326 | 10 reviews
don't expect muchI am a big fan of elf and what the have to offer. I bought this in "IVY" and tried using it multiple times to make sure I was trying everything. First, there is little to no pigment in these eye shadows. I was patting my brush with product on my eye and it still was barely there. I did use an eye primer before. I would not purchase this again. — 4 years, 7 months agosquarebear03 | 43 reviews

Was hoping for something betterI get it, this was a $1. However, even for the price I do have some standards. First and foremost, the product tended to crumble after a few uses. After the compacted power crumbled, it made it unusable for me. The coverage was mediocre. When I applied this in the AM it was gone by mid-PM. I was appreciative for the color quad. It did give some nice options for applying the color. I feel like this would be a good 'starter make-up' for a teens. — 5 years, 5 months agoStephanieMPLS | 3 reviews
Eh...okayI bought some ELF products and some I really like and some I did not care for that much. The pricing is soo affordable and I think it's not too bad of a line, better than Wet N' Wild, I think. This brightening eye shadow was okay.
