Our current dialect of English is not a "dumbed-down" version of that spoken 300 years ago, and any linguist would have a lard time accepting what is written in that letter as anything but a forgery.I did not state that the language of 300 years ago is similar to current american english. In fact, I stated that even slaves wrote in a more artistic and formal manner. But, since forgery would inheirantly be a "copy" of an original, wouldn't a historical linguist have to call this a work of fiction? What I find interesting is that you and Rage and others seem to have accepted the sentiment of the Letter so completely that you are more concerned about defending it than you are about the fact that you are being lied to, and are even complicit in the lie. Have we become so accustomed to falsehood that the search for truth has devolved into merely separating acceptable lies from unacceptable ones?

You do realize that I have not asserted that the letter was written in 18th century virginia? I have indeed, however, asserted that the intent or the sentiment of the letter is more important than when it was written. Is that the premise you are challenging?

quote:What you fail to see is that the valid accusations of oppression and mental subjugation are only trivialized when they are represented by an outright lie. Promoting the Letter as the fountainhead of black self-hate won't simply make people aware of those issues, it will cause people not take it or us seriously. If the best we can come up with is an event that never happened, then what are we complaining about? That is an insult to our ancestors whose struggles were real and documented, and a slap in the face to those of us who are genuinely interested in them. If we want to promote awareness of systems like those in the Letter, we're just going to have to do our homework and find real examples of it at work. No false document will ever be more compelling or more irrefutable than the truth.
quote:Originally posted by djonmaila:Let me ask you something, rage. If a white man drove into an urban neighborhood that was known for crime and later invented a story about being carjacked when nothing really happened, is he lying? If the neighborhood is already known to have a high crime rate, is the story necessary to raise awareness? Does the fact of real carjackings make it acceptable for anyone who feels threatened to lie for dramatic effect? Is he entitled to this lie, or is he just an overzealous fool?I appreciate that the author of the Letter is trying to unite the descendants of slaves, and that's great, but he could at least have gone to the library and given us something legitimate. We deserve that much. Making something like that up is the definition of laziness when there is so much real information already out there. I guess he (or she) just wanted something inflammatory without stopping to read about it, so in a way it's fitting that so many of you accept it as fact without stopping to think about it. At any rate, what you put in your head is your business. Knock yourself out.

quote:Originally posted by Melesi:profit--Nasty little boil you have for a brain, that.Now, why do you suppose that you were asked if you knew the words to "Dixie"? But you wouldn't ask yourself that. Instead you will have a fit.Not very convincing, especially when you completely ignore the imporant point--that you have tried to redundantly bolster a well-known point with a lie.We don't need the speech or letter. Moreover we shouldn't use the Lynch speech or letter because it is a lie. Using lies to make our point only weakens it. The point of this thread is simply, "Stick to the truth. It's far stronger than any lie can be."It doesn't matter if the content of the letter is true. If it's the content we're concerned about, then speak of that content without relying on a false letter. We have enough information on the treatment of slaves to make our point about slavery without dragging in something that everybody knows is wrong.The point is not an informational one. It's a moral one, and therefore just as important. In this case, it's more important. Stay on the side of the morally right and speak the truth, and then we'll be listened to.But if we use a lie, we deserve to be ignored.

FHS SmokeLess Oil is a pure, synthetic lubricant, derived from ourhigh-performance
racing oils, which is designed to bring new life, performance, and protection to an aging, worn engine. Manufactured from the finest ingredients with over 35 years of FHS engine lubrication technology: to stop engine oil smoking, to reduce emissions, to give a cleaner, more environment-friendly, easier-to-sell vehicle. It is scientifically designed to revive your aging car's worn engine and stop it from smoking... FHS SmokeLess Oil is a scientific formulation that adds great value to older vehicles with worn engines. Immediately after using FHS SmokeLess Oil, the vehicle should no longer burn oil, smoke clouds of noxious fumes, or leak from minor cracks. Even the soot-blackened tailpipe should soon lighten in color. The car will continue to run cleanly, without smoking or burning oil, so long as it is filled with FHS SmokeLess Oil. You can be an environmentally aware citizen without paying huge repair bills.
No Smoke = A better world for everyone.
So, whether it's called no-smoke oil, stop-smoke oil, anti-smoke oil, smoke-less oil, or smoke-free oil, if you want the gold magnum of oils, the one that actually works: Use FHS SmokeLess Oil.
We have two varieties of FHS SmokeLess Oil: SmokeLess and SmokeLess Lite.
SmokeLess for the standard used car with worn engine that smokes heavily, excellent for 99% of all used cars that smoke.
SmokeLess Lite for newer cars that have reduced smoking problems, or for cars with valve noise in colder climates.

Numb3rs: When Worlds Collide (season finale) - VIDEO
(S04E18) "I connected you to a dangerous terrorist in three links." - Charlie
I've got to say - four seasons into Numb3rs and I can't believe we got a story like this now. Brother vs. brother. As Alan said, it had to happen sooner or later. It's just such an obvious plot that I figured it would have been sooner. Better late than never I guess. That being said, I suppose we could have done without it. Blame the WGA strike, but this episode felt like a lot of stuff just randomly thrown together to make it sort of season finale-ish. Anti-climactic at best.
Gallery: Numb3rs: When Worlds Collide
The basic plot? Terrorist cell. FBI swoops in and starts arresting people suspected of being involved with a supposed scheme to blow up some high schools with Russian rockets. One of those people happened to be a colleague of Charlie's. They recently co-authored a paper on DNA manipulation.
While Charlie's friend was ultimately cleared of any connection to the threat, he was still detained because he did e-mail sensitive documents regarding his classified research to other academics... in Pakistan. That's a no-no apparently and it led to the Eppes vs. Eppes stand-off I mentioned.
I could see where Charlie was coming from, serving the truth and not the FBI... but I really don't get why he did what he did. He e-mailed the rest of his colleague's research to the Pakistan scholars, trying to make the point that there was no harm intended and that there was no terrorist connection. It was about the science.
However, that kills the premise of the show for next season! Now Charlie has been stripped of his FBI security clearance which means he can't do any more work with Don and he can't work on any classified stuff at CalSci. Um... OK? If Charlie can't work his math skills, then Numb3rs becomes the one thing I've always said it isn't: just another cop show. The thing that's most ridiculous to me? Next season, I'm sure some loophole will be found, Charlie will get his FBI swipe card back, and all this will be forgotten. It just felt like a pointless plot that was tossed together for the sake of having some sort of cliff-hanger.
The other big development? Megan left the bureau. We knew it was coming. I guess I was just hoping for a bit more. She left and that was it - very flat scene when she exited. Going back to school in Washington, trying to find a new career. The one positive thing is that the door was left open for Diane Farr to return every now and then since Megan and Larry didn't break-up. The way Fleinhardt saw it, if they can survive him going into space, then they'll make it through this too.
A few more thoughts...
Great to see Zeljko Ivanek as the DC FBI agent. It's too bad that he won't be on Damages anymore.
No resolution for the greening of the Eppes house, huh? Was it even mentioned?
Same goes for Charlie and Amita. I was really hoping for something there after last week's meet n' greet with her folks. Guess we'll have to wait until next season for him to pop the question.
Another season done. What does everyone think? I know Diane Farr is the second person to leave the show, but Sabrina Lloyd wasn't really on it long enough to make an impact. Farr was. Do you think the show will be as good without her?
This week's numb3rs: 783,350,200 online research documents; 41,000 gene loci in rice; 112 designer viruses; 2 kidnapped men

Would You Rock: This Feathered Knit Cardigan?
Look I'm all for feathers in fashion (I don't even know what this means) but sometimes it can go from beautiful to Big Bird quicker than you can say Fozzie Bear. What I'm saying is that this feathered cardigan from Ladakh is a cute color and a nice concept and seems warm and all but it's giving me strong Muppet Show vibes and I can't deal. Just give me a hoodie and let's move on.
What do you think? Would you rock it?

Volkswagen Golf review
Say hello to the U.S.-spec
2015 Volkswagen Golf
R. After its
European debut last August
, the American-spec version is set to make its first appearance at next week's Detroit auto show, packing more horsepower and torque than before, while retaining a number of special goodies usually lost when performance VWs make their way across the Atlantic.
Like the Euro-spec
VW Golf
R, the U.S. version is powered by the automaker's new EA888 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4, which sends its power out to all four wheels via a front-biased Haldex all-wheel drive system. Unlike the European car, the American 2015 Golf R only makes 290 hp (as opposed to Europe's 296 ponies), though torque is unchanged at 280 lb-ft.
Power is up by 34 hp, and torque by 37 lb-ft
when compared to the last Golf R.
While the last Golf R was only available in the States with a six-speed manual, V-dub's fast-acting
DSG six-speed dual-clutch automatic
will be available on the new model. Row it yourself and
says you'll accelerate from 0-62 mph in 5.3 seconds. Opt for the DSG and you'll crack the four second barrier, accelerating from 0-62 mph in just 4.9 seconds,
which will best
the 2015 Subaru WRX
. The
last Golf R we tested
needed 5.8 seconds to accelerate from 0-60 mph.

2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI Long-Term Update 2
While the American version of the 2015 Golf R may be down a bit on power versus the Euro-spec car, many of the
electronic goodies left out of the last Golf R
have been kept on the new version. The new VW Golf R, for example, will come be available with VW's Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) active chassis management system, making it among the first VWs in the U.S. with the feature. DCC offers up three driving modes: Comfort, Normal, and Sport. Changed via a menu on the center console-mounted touchscreen, the DCC system adjusts the Golf R's damping to help improve comfort, or improve handling. A fourth "Race" mode is also available. It not only sharpens the suspension, but it also improves throttle response and the DSG's shift points.
Also noteworthy is the ability to fully defeat the 2015 Golf R's traction control system. The system has three modes: on,
ESC Sport
, and off. ESC Sport allows the driver to push the Golf R hard while still leaving a safety buffer, and fully deactivating the traction control system is perfect for enjoying the all-wheel drive Golf R on the track or abandoned snowy parking lots.
Only available with four-doors (Europe also gets a two-door version), the U.S. 2015 VW Golf R looks much the same as the continental version. Compared to the
new GTI
, the Golf R gets unique bumpers, side skirts, and rear diffuser, as well as standard LED daytime running lights, and a quad-tipped exhaust.
Inside, the 2015 Golf R gets a sporty, yet upscale interior with Nappa leather, carbon-look trim, and stainless steel sport pedals. The Golf R will be available with a VW's new infotainment system featuring a 5.8-inch touchscreen and proximity sensors.
Volkswagen says the new Golf R will hit U.S. dealers in the first quarter of 2015. The U.S.-spec 2015 VW Golf R will be officially revealed next Tuesday at the 2014 North American International Auto Show in the Motor City. Pricing and fuel economy will be announced closer to launch.

For his latest game, The Ensign, Amir Rajan has pulled the grisly face of Bandai Namco's million dollar marketing budget for Dark Souls II over his head when saying "Best of luck to whoever attempts this game. I imagine few will succeed in completing all of it."
After releasing the critically acclaimed incremental discovery game A Dark Room (also on iOS), Rajan was inspired to make a "brutally difficult" prequel based on the Dusty Path portion of the game—the part he loved playing the most.
"I wanted to make a strategy game that had high replay value, as opposed to a game about discovery," Rajan states in the description of The Ensign.
"Now the real journey begins," it tells me in blood red lettering after a dozen deaths
It's a statement of intent that doesn't quite match the end result. The Ensign's understanding of "strategy" isn't the macro-scale unit management that defines the genre. Rather, it has a much more refined Soulsian taste (you start off by drinking swamp water), focusing on the micromanagement of a single adventurer on their way to a distant starship to call in reinforcements.
Looting dead bodies is a game of weight loss as you trade extra food rations so you can carry the sharp blade of a steel sword. Each step you take costs one unit of water, always threatening a death by dehydration if you stray too far. With such delicate measurements death comes aplenty, and each time a lesson is learned: it teaches you to fight with both ferocity and caution against even the weakest enemies, to refill your canteen regularly, and to trust in your compass to find the way. But it's not quite permadeath that entwines you, as when you do die a time paradox resets you, meaning that just like in Lordran, "the flow of time is distorted" in The Ensign.
I've been straining every muscle against the ropes that bind me, telling me not to make the clichéd comparison to Dark Souls, but The Ensign keeps mounting the evidence. "Now the real journey begins," it tells me in blood red lettering after a dozen deaths, mimicking a semi-serious joke left as notes all across Drangleic.
It also toys with and tests your resolve just as Dark Souls does. As you grow comfortable battling the same angry townsfolk, cleaning out the same beast's den, The Ensign seizes the opportunity to cruelly throw you off balance. A dangerous occultist "defector" that easily slaughtered me after I had triggered his arrival doesn't go away; he now chases me from the beginning of each restart. However, just as I learned in Dark Souls, I've found a way to deal with him so that he's just another part of the splintering fray enshrouding me.
Despite what Rajan says, The Ensign is also a game of discovery—this is clearest when exploring the ASCII-based map steadily, a step at a time, praying for an abandoned house to relieve your struggle. The difference between it and A Dark Room is that it's marked by two of the core tenets of a Souls game: solitude and desperation.
Weapons are found, run down against tough hides, and then discarded. You upgrade your bodily capabilities by appeasing a mystic, and offering them eyes, teeth, and flesh. The definition of the word "grit" greets you when restarting, encouraging you to bite down even harder on the bit. It's a game of diabolic rituals, of juggling the encumbrance of a fated journey, of imperative commands and intimidating forewarning; "Death awaits" croaks your pathetic admiral each time you embark, and he's always right.
It's no use denying it: The Ensign is every bit a Souls game as a text-based adventure could ever hope to be.

The final weekend of the election season was a busy one. Hanna re-election bid in full swing By Catherine Loper • Oct 4, 2012 Representative Richard Hanna marked what he called the official kick off to his re-election bid -- opening one of his campaign offices in Utica Wednesday.

SUNY Oswego is ready to Rock the Vote By Bethany Palmer • Sep 12, 2012 Jim Russell / SUNY Oswego The youth vote famously played a large role in Barack Obama's victory in 2008, but one of the big questions of this year's election is how young voter turnout will compare with that of the previous election.

Podere Conti

Your Reviews
"Idyllic farmhouse in the Tuscan hills…"
High up in the Tuscan Hills, in the picture perfect surroundings of olive groves and idyllic farmhouse chic is Podere Conti.
With dreams of relaxation and great food, my partner and I, with our 4 year old boy headed into the hills to meet Cornelia (we went as guests of Podere Conti). Instantly charming and engaging, Cornelia makes you feel like you have arrived home. Only home has a 2 metre wide bed, with balcony views of the kind of Italian landscape you cannot help but fall in love with. Usually, holidays with kids can be tricky, but with 5 boys of her own, you could tell this was somewhere where families were welcome and we were instantly put at ease.
We stayed in the large, one-bed apartment with kitchen/sitting room. There was ample space in our bedroom to sleep one or two extra people, but we chose to put our son on the large and very comfortable sofa bed in the sitting room. The kitchen had everything one might need for cooking…apart from sharp knives. Although I'm sure had I asked; they would have provided me with one! That being said, once you eat in Podere Conti's restaurant…you probably won't want to cook your own food. We tried everything on the menu (some things more than once) and the food really was exceptional. I strongly recommend the Fiorentina steak, baked trout and chocolate fondant! The children's menu was also very popular with my son (who is an incredibly fussy eater) and beside the restaurant was a trampoline and sandpit which kept him entertained whilst we finished our dinner. It's this attention to detail that made our week at Podere Conti a luxury.
I was quite impressed with Cornelia's knowledge of the area and relationship with local farmers. Podere Conti make their own olive oil, have their own bees for honey, and own chickens for eggs. All this produce ends up in restaurant. Their cut grass becomes hay to offer local farmers, and the entire place is heated by wood taken from the surrounding forest. Agritourism isn't something I was familiar with before my stay, but I think it's a wonderful concept - anything that supports local agriculture can only be a good thing!
Despite some unpredictable weather, we were all kept entertained. The nearest town Pontremoli (15 minutes' drive away) is great place to visit with its cobbled streets, cute boutiques, coffee shops and stunning cathedral. Farmers market is on Sunday's and Wednesday's, where we stocked up on local cheese, ham, porchini mushrooms and acacia honey and the tastiest rotisserie chicken – I was in heaven. We also visited the famous Cinque Terre; five coastal towns along the mountain edge. It's definitely a tourist hot spot, but worth visiting for its picturesque fishing towns and seafood restaurants.
On the sunnier days, we lounged around the pool and soaked up the sun. It really was blissful, and the perfect way to unwind after the more action-packed days spent in Cinque Terre and Palma (an hour away by train).
I've already recommended Podere Conti to all my busy London friends in search of a holiday where they can chill and gorge on yummy food and wine. Two have booked already! Highly recommend it. Book it and you won't be disappointed
Room rates start at €90 in low season up to €290 for a deluxe apartment in high season.

The world's largest car manufacturer, General Motors, has teamed up with Chinese second-hand car retailer Shanghai Automotive Industry to capitalize on the increasing demand for used cars in China. With residual values in other countries falling, the growing Chinese market offers tempting opportunities for western manufacturers.
Tata and MG Rover have forged a deal whereby Tata will provide the British company with a new small car. Tata's strategy seems to be to offer niche market vehicles that MG Rover's existing range does not address. The Indian conglomerate sees this agreement as only the beginning of a potentially much longer lasting relationship.

Avis Europe, one of the best-known brands in car rental, has seen pre-tax profits fall by 15% in 2002, citing the fall in business travel as a key factor. This year will continue to be tough for rental companies, and performance will only pick up when economic stability returns.

Foreign investment, such as Deutsche Post's 5% stake in state-owned Sinotrans, will do much to help China's transition to a market economy. However, much of these rewards must be invested back into China's existing distribution infrastructure if the country is to develop to its true potential.

Deutsche Post has confirmed its intention to buy a stake in logistics firm China National Foreign Trade Transportation Group, better known as Sinotrans. This globally acquisitive attitude has made the company one of the strongest players in its field.

The new partnership between TNT Airways and China Southern Airlines will offer a new cargo service between China and Europe. It's a necessary move, as it will help establish TNT's operation in the booming Chinese market, where rivals such as UPS, DHL and FedEx have already formed their own alliances.
As competition in the Asia-Pacific freight market hots up, DHL has announced a joint venture with Hong Kong airline, Cathay Pacific. This will increase its competitiveness with other integrators such as FedEx and UPS, which already have a strong base in China.
BP is catching up with rival, Shell, in penetrating the Chinese fuel retailing market. With fast growth forecast, the oil majors are all trying to get in on the action. BP hopes to have 1000 sites, putting it ahead of the other international players. Currently BP owns 30 stations and manages a further 100; gaining more than 500 over the next three years seems a real challenge.
CMWAL is a new joint venture incorporating APL Logistics. The venture, which is based in China, will serve the automotive sector. This agreement highlights the recent moves by major logistics players looking to enter local and niche markets through joint ventures. However, such strategies involve both difficulties and risks.
BMW has won initial approval to manufacture its vehicles in China. However, its partner in the venture, Brilliance China, has quietly replaced its president and chairman amid allegations of asset stripping. MG Rover, meanwhile, will be wondering where its partnership with Brilliance stands now.

Silk cape (lamd)
From Ethiopia, early 20th century
Embroidered with gold and silver thread, and pieces of brass and coloured glass
A series of panels are suspended from the main section of the lamd. The bottom of each panel is formed into decorative shapes. These panels are stylized versions of the legs and paws of a lion, and imitate earlier capes made from actual lion skins. The lion is an important symbol of authority and royalty in Ethiopia. High-ranking officials of the church and state and members of the nobility would wear such garments. Nowadays the capes are worn only by high ranking church officials.
Luxurious fabrics such as velvet were imported into Ethiopia during the nineteenth century. The raw material for the silver thread comes from the Maria Theresa silver dollar, a coin minted in Austria. They had been used widely in trade with North Africa since the eighteenth century. Local Armenian silversmiths melted them down to use for the intricate decorative patterns sewn onto the capes.

We can't recall the last time we heard her voice since Spice World.
Mashable spoke with Spice Girl-turned-award-winning designer Victoria Beckham on her love for all things tech and digital, as well as how she manages to run her namesake fashion brand. For starters, Beckham joined Twitter in 2010, her earliest memory of social media. Tweeting eventually lead her to join other social platforms, including Instagram ("I always check Instagram.") and Skype, which she constantly uses to communicate with family and colleagues while on the go.
When it comes to building her successful Victoria Beckham brand, the mom of four had some pretty Pinterest-worthy things to share. "I often say the best advice is to get as much experience as you can in the field you want to enter. And of course, be passionate and be willing to work hard," she said.
You can read more of her inspiring soundbites below, but we prefer clicking on over to Mashable and checking out her newest partnership with The Skype Collaboration Project, since you can actually hear Beckham's voice in multiple videos and interviews. It's a pretty epic thing to take in considering that we can't recall the last time we heard Beckham speak since Spice World.
On starting the Victoria Beckham brand:
When I initially started up the brand, I didn't put too much pressure on myself. I didn't go into this to prove anything to anybody other than myself. I was very focused. I didn't try to do everything at once. For quite a few seasons, I stuck to just perfecting the dress. I didn't want to run before I could walk. It's very important to be focused and do what I was doing very, very well and move on and do more when my team was in the position to do that. So I think it's about keeping things focused and not trying to do too much.
On self-doubt:
I think everybody has crazy moments of self-doubt and I think that an element of that is probably quite important. It's about creative visualization and challenging yourself, but always staying very positive. There's nothing wrong with having a second little person sitting over your shoulder, making sure that you're remaining humble and you're remaining appreciative of everything that you have and everything that you've achieved. But you should definitely not waste too much time being negative in any way. It's about positive thinking, positive energy, and fighting if you need to fight.
On reinventing new collections while maintaining her brand's identity:
For me it's not about reinventing, it's about evolving and staying true to myself and my brand. And retaining that signature but then having a fashion message, which will change season and season. But it's never about reinventing.

text: Urbi "Jungle" Svonni returns home to the Swedish Sápmi territory for the Indigenous Terra Madre gathering, June 17-19, after years learning from Amazonian elders. Urbi Svonni grew up in Giron, the northernmost city in Sweden in the indigenous Sápmi territory, and he always knew that he would like to see more of the world. The trip he eventually set out on became much longer than he expected. It all started in Canada, followed by Greenland and South America. Rainforests in Peru were to become his home for many years and it was here that he found what he had long-sought. Not far from the city of Iquitos, a large city situated in the Amazon, Urbi found the teachers he had been seeking. Called curandero, they were healers or sharman and they came from two of the hundreds of Indigenous groups living in the jungle, Witoto and Jaua Indians. He learnt to live and survive in the jungle, using plants and herbs to cure various diseases and ailments. Although Urbi, or "Jungle" - the name he was given in Peru - remained there for five years, he says he still has much to learn. But he has acquired enough knowledge about jungle medicine and how to use it to help others and to call himself a curandero too. "To live a healthy lifestyle," says Urbi, "it is vital to eat a healthy diet based on natural foods. The forest provides animals and humans with good food and outside the cities this tradition is strong today. However, in the cities, people seem to do everything possible to copy the American fast food culture." "Here in Sápmi," says Urbi, "nearly all knowledge of traditional healing and natural medicines has disappeared. The Sami are thus entirely in the hands of modern medicine, and reliant on the use of medicines produced using chemical processes." During his youth Urbi focused on learning traditional knowledge from his people, the Sami, but to his disappointment he found that traditional medicine knowledge had disappeared or was almost gone. This was one of his motivators for seeking knowledge abroad. Urbi was both surprised and delighted to be invited to the Indigenous Terra Madre meeting in Jokkmokk. Having dedicated his life to learning about and practicing the traditional knowledge of rainforest people, he will share his experiences and knowledge with participants from around the world. Indigenous Terra Madre is opening today, Friday June 17, including an official opening in the bright light of the solstice midnight sun, and finishes on Sunday. On Saturday Urbi will make his presentation at the seminar on traditional knowledge and food production where modern and traditional business models will be discussed with participants from all over the world.

Employed persons worked 7.6 hours on average on the days that they worked in 2004. They also worked longer hours on weekdays than on weekend days – 7.9 versus 5.8 hours.
Many more people worked on weekdays than on weekend days. About 83 percent of employed persons worked on an average weekday, compared with 33 percent on an average weekend day.
On the days both worked, employed men worked about an hour more than employed women. The difference partly reflects women's greater likelihood of working part time. However, even among full-time workers (those usually working 35 hour or more per week), men worked slightly longer than women – 8.3 versus 7.8 hours.

For international applications entering the European phase with an international search report established by an ISA other than the EPO, a supplementary European search is carried out by the Search Division in the cases listed in B‑II, 4.3.2. If the Search Division, during the supplementary European search, notes a lack of unity, B‑VII, 2.3 applies. The search opinion accompanying the supplementary European search report deals only with the invention (or unitary group of inventions) first mentioned in the claims serving as basis for the supplementary search report (Rule 164(1)).
The procedure before the Examining Division in such cases is described in E‑VIII, 4.2. In brief, the examiner will normallyproceedsolely with the examination of that said firstinvention (or group of inventions) covered by the supplementary European search report which has been chosen by the applicant in response to the ESOPThere is no choice under Rule 164(2) because the only invention searched by the EPO is the one searched in the supplementary European search report by virtue of Rule 164(1) (see also F‑V, 11).

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
She's already made it quite clear that she's the best player in the state of Georgia.Now she can be considered the best in every other state as well. Collins Hill junior sensation Maya Moore was recently chosen as the 2006 Girls Naismith National Player of the Year by the Atlanta Tipoff Club. It is almost without question the most prestigious award a high school basketball player can win. "This is the big one," Moore said. "I've gotten a lot of awards around the state and around Gwinnett County, but this is my first National Player of the Year award." With still another season to play, it almost certainly won't be her last. Moore has earned countless other accolades during her three star-studded seasons with the Eagles, being named the Daily Post Player of the Year twice and Miss Georgia Basketball as well. She's widely considered the top junior in the nation and many recruiting experts feel she is the best girls high school basketball player in the country, regardless of class. The Naismith award certainly does nothing to diminish that notion. "It's such an honor," Moore said. "It's really exciting." For the season, Moore averaged 23.2 points, 11.3 rebounds, 5.4 steals and 4.6 assists in leading the Collins Hill girls to a 31-1 record and their second straight state title. She performed her best on the biggest stages, dazzling holiday-tournament crowds in Arizona with a 38-point performance against USA Today's No. 1 team Christ the King, which defeated the Eagles in a controversial overtime game. She was the MVP of another holiday tournament in North Carolina and also averaged 31 points in the Eagles' two Class AAAAA Final Four games. Still, when head coach Tracey Tipton called Moore into the principal's office on Friday to tell her the news, it was completely unexpected. "I tend to think I'm not the emotional, crying-type," Tipton said, "but before I could get it out and tell her, emotions had overwhelmed me. And I finally told her that she had been selected as the Naismith National Player of the Year." And when she figured out exactly what her head coach was telling her, what was the star forward's response? "I was just in shock," Moore said with a laugh. "And I was getting emotional, too. I wasn't expecting it because I'm a junior, and it seems like a lot of awards have this unwritten rule where seniors get looked at first. It was just a wonderful surprise." Moore, who could join Tennessee's Candace Parker as the only two-time winner if she takes it home again as a senior, is the second Gwinnett product in as many years to win the coveted award. Last year, South Gwinnett star Louis Williams was chosen as the top boys player in the nation as well. The Naismith Award is handed out by the Atlanta Tipoff Club, which uses a nationwide poll of prep basketball analysts, key members of the media and college and high school coaches to assist in selecting the winner. The award has been given out since 1987, and the roster of recipients features names like Lisa Leslie, Chamique Holdsclaw, Tamika Catchings and Diana Taurasi. And now that list includes a humble girl from Suwanee, who still has one more year to tack on to an already legendary career. "Maya Moore makes a choice to do the things that average people don't do," Tipton said. "She never becomes content with where she is, and that's just the truth and that's what makes her so rare. "The average person, when they find success, has a natural tendency to become content or complacent where they are. And that's not her. Her aspirations are to be the best player she can be." And as a result, she has been named the best player in the country.

Organism: Phytophthora spp
This fungus cause the most serious soilborne diseases of citrus. The most serious is GUMMOSIS.
Wide range of fruit trees. Phytophthora fungi are present in almost all citrus orchards.
and importance:
These fungi are worldwide in distribution and cause citrus production losses in irrigated, arid areas as well as in areas with high rainfall.
Symptoms and changeable diseases:
early symptom of Phytophthora gummosis is sap oozing from small cracks
in the infected bark, giving the tree a bleeding appearance. The gumming
may be washed off during heavy rain.
The bark stays firm, dries and eventually cracks and sloughs off. Lesions spread around the circumference of the trunk, slowly girdling the tree. Severely affected trees have pale, green leaves with yellow veins, a typical symptom of girdling. Decline may occur rapidly within a year, especially under conditions favorable for disease development, or may occur over several years. Infection of emerging seedlings by Phytophthora spp. causes damping off. Leaves and shoots near the soil may be blighted by Phytophthora spp., but in nurseries, only the tender new growth is usually affected.Secondary infections often occur through lesions created by Phytophthora. These infections kill and discolor the wood deeper than gummosis itself.
Phytophthora spp. infects the root cortex and causes a decay of fibrous roots. The cortex turns soft, becomes discolored, and appears water soaked.
Infection of the scion occurs near the ground level, producing lesions that extend down to the bud union on resistant rootstocks or up the trunk into the major limbs of the tree. Lesions spread around the circumference of the trunk, killing the cambium and slowly girdling the tree.
populations in the soil are maintained by repeated infection of the
fibrous roots. Under favorable conditions of high moisture and temperature,
the fungus produces sporangia that release motile zoospores, which are
attracted to the zone of elongation of new roots by nutrients that are
naturally exuded from this root zone. Upon contact with the root, zoospores
encrust, germinate, and then infect the area of the zone of elongation.
Once the fungus has entered the root tip, the infection may advance
in the cortex, resulting in rot of the entire rootlet. The cycle can
repeat itself as long as conditions are favorable and susceptible tissue
is available.
Phytophthora spp. most likely survive unfavorable periods in root debris. The rotted cortex is sloughed off, and the fungus produces chlamydospores, which may persist in the soil for long periods. When favorable conditions return, chlamydospores germinate indirectly to produce sporangia and zoospores or directly to produce mycelium. All species are also able to persist as mycelium or thick walled sporangia and as chlamydospores in infected, living roots
All scion cultivars are susceptible to infection under the right environmental conditions.
Management of Phytophthora gummosis focuses on preventing conditions favorable for infection and disease development.
- Resistant rootstocks are recommended for replanting in orchards with a previous history this disease.
- Budding high on the rootstock seedlings in the nursery and planting the trees in the orchard with the bud union well above the soil line avoids contact of the susceptible scion bark with infested soil.
- Adequate soil drainage is essential because poor drainage and over watering combine to promote build-up of pathogen populations in the soil, which increases the risk of bark infection.
- The soil surface under the tree must be kept free of weeds.
- Injuries to the trunk bark must be avoided, since they provide entry points for pathogens
In addition to improving the growing conditions, the spread of the disease can be halt by removing the diseased bark and a buffer strip of healthy, light brown to greenish bark around the margins of the infection. Allow the exposed area to dry out. You can also scrape the diseased bark lightly to find the perimeter o f the lesion and then use a propane torch to burn the lesion and a margin of 2'5 cm around it. Recheck frequently for a few months and repeat if necessary.
or postplant chemical control may be warranted if cultural controls
are inadequate.
Systemic fungicides (Fosetil-AL) can control Phytophthora gummosis and copper sprays can be used to protect against infection.
Active ingredient
100 %
Fosetil Al
1-25 g/tree
may be applied to young trees on a preventive basis to control gummosis.
On tolerant rootstocks, fungicide treatments are used only if bark lesions
Fungicides should be applied during periods of susceptible root flushes, and soil applications should be targeted to areas of highest fibrous root density under the canopy.
If 50% or more of a trunk or crown region on a mature tree is girdled, it is more economical to replace the tree than to try to control the infection.

China rapidly narrows industrial gap with Korea
Publication Date : 17-08-2012
The technology gap between Korea and China has narrowed over the past decade in the manufacturing industry.
According to data from the Korea Institute for Industrial Economics & Trade, the technology gap in the manufacturing industry between the two countries narrowed to 3.7 years in 2011 on average, from 4.7 years in 2002.
In terms of the countries' technological levels as of 2011, China needs 4.2 years to reach the level that was reached by Korea's auto industry, about 3.1 years in shipbuilding and 2.4 years in semiconductors, the report said.
The report is mainly based on a survey of about 600 major companies in 10 core industries such as automobile, electronics, shipbuilding and semiconductors.
"With Chinese firms developing at a frightful speed by means of imitating products of industrially advanced nations, industrial spying or theft of key technologies, the technology gap between the enterprises of Korea and China was found to be narrowing at a fast rate," said a KIET researcher.
The Korea Automobile Manufacturers Association said that South Korea has been sandwiched between its neighbors.
It observed that China has rapidly caught up with Korea's output while also striving to narrow the automotive technology gap with Japan.
"China has gained advanced technologies in recent years based on its robust economic growth and a strategy to open up its markets," a KAMA official said. "We expect China, which is about four years behind Korea, to further narrow the gap with us."
The Chinese government is carrying out an automobile import promotion strategy. The project is focused on imports of advanced general automobile technologies and equipment and key technologies and parts for energy-saving and new-energy vehicles.
KAMA said in a report that Chinese carmakers, such as Geely Holding Group Co. and BYD Co., could threaten local firms' exports.
The report said that Chinese carmakers' increasing exports and technological capabilities are likely to present significant challenges to Korean firms' sales in foreign markets where they continue to rely on low prices to drive sales.
Chinese firms are still mainly exporting to developing nations in Africa and the Middle East.
"But when Chinese carmakers enter the U.S. and European markets their price competitiveness could put Korean brands at risk of being stranded between cheap Chinese brands and high quality brands from developed nations, unless local firms can establish a more up-market brand image," the report warned.
The majority of Chinese automobile exports are accounted for by small cars whose prices are more than 20 percent lower than comparable models from established carmakers.
Meanwhile, a Korean executive in the local automotive industry downplayed Chinese firms' challenge, stressing that "mass production of low-priced cars does not guarantee customer confidence in the global market."
About 10 years ago, Korea was recognized as a country that makes its living by just selling cheaper-made products in the global electronics and technology markets.
There was no way for Korean tech companies to catch up with Japanese leading tech giants should the country continue to promote itself as a less-innovative, inexpensive manufacturer.
But now the tides have turned. Through rigorous investment in research and development, Korea is now home to tech giants such as Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics, producing and supplying the world with the largest amount of displays, mobile phones, semiconductors and home electronic goods such as washing machines and refrigerators. Samsung, for instance, has edged over Sony, once the world's leading consumer electronics maker, and Apple and Nokia in mobile phones.
However, analysts say that Korea cannot rest assured just because it has technologically caught up with Japan.
Korea, as Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-hee once expressed out of concern, is still sandwiched between Japan and China. Korea still depends on Japanese high-tech parts for final product assembly, leading the former to post a trade deficit with the world's third-largest economy.
Meanwhile, China, the world's fastest economy and Korea's largest export destination, is rapidly catching up with Korea by doing what Korea used to do ten years ago ― selling cheaper products and at the same time increasing investment in research and development.
"Continuous technological innovation, research and development as well as mergers and acquisitions will sharply upgrade China's manufacturing over the next 10 years," said Kwon Hyuk-jae, research fellow at Samsung Economic Research Institute.
"Chinese companies are already pressuring their Korean counterparts in home electronics, telecommunication devices and petrochemicals. This will intensify further."
China's IT manufacturing was valued at $523 billion in 2011, accounting for 29 percent of the total in the world, compared to Korea's $126 billion.
The shipbuilding sector is one industrial area in which Korean companies have maintained the No. 1 position globally, though their Chinese rivals are quickly catching up.
The global shipbuilding industry has suffered from slowing orders since the financial crisis erupted in the U.S. in 2008, coupled with a recent debt crisis in Europe.
In the first half of this year, global shipbuilding orders amounted to 8.77 million tons, down 60 percent from the same period last year.
Korea's big three ship makers ― Hyundai Heavy Industries, Samsung Heavy Industries and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering ― saw their orders decline about 60 percent this year as well.
Their operating profits also dropped as many of the high-margin orders that used to be made before 2008 have been replaced with those for low-cost ships since 2009.
In the meantime, China, armed with strong price competitiveness, outpaced Korea in terms of shipbuilding orders. However, because Chinese firms focus more on relatively cheaper bulk carriers, their profits still lag behind Korean companies.
With the gap between Korean and Chinese shipbuilders narrowing, the two countries now share global shipbuilding orders almost equally.
In a new development plan for 2015 published recently, the Chinese government pledged it would elevate the country's market share up by to 70 percent within five years.
Industry watchers say it is unavoidable that cheaper deals from Chinese shipbuilders would affect the business of Korean companies, especially small and medium-sized ones.
But they also pointed out that the China factor would not be greater than that of the sluggish global economy.
"The Korean big three, in particular, will continue to maintain their competitiveness based on their years of experience and new technology," said a spokesperson of Hyundai Heavy Industries, the world's largest shipbuilder.
"Amid high-flying oil prices, the market for offshore plants and gas development is newly emerging. But Chinese shipbuilders have yet to acquire know-how in the field."

A tough, hard fought season has come to a close for the Carbon High boys basketball team after a 67-38 loss to Payson on Friday evening.
With the loss, the Dinos ended the season with a 1-20 record, including an 0-8 mark in Region 12 play.
Zac Hathaway, Caden Sherman and Peyton Fausett each finished with seven points for the Dinos.
Carbon struggled to replace the outgoing group of seniors from last season's team that advanced to the 3A playoffs.
While the Dinos stuggled this season, head coach Jeff Cisneros said he is hopeful that the younger players will benefit from the experience playing at the varsity level.

Karnak Temple Hypostyle Hall
The massive columns in the hypostyle hall dwarfs the people and there is still some paint surviving on the under side of the capitals.
The hall covers an area of 50,000 sq ft (5,000 sq meters) and filled with 134 gigantic stone columns with 12 larger columns standing 80 feet (24 m) high lining the central aisle.
The hall was built by Seti I who inscribed the northern wing. The outer walls depict Seti's battles.
The southern wing was completed by Ramesses II but he usurped the decorations of his father along the main processional walk ways. The south wall is inscribed with a record of Ramesses II's peace treaty with the Hittites which he signed in 21st year of his reign.
Later pharaohs including Ramesses III, Ramesses IV and Ramesses VI added inscriptions to the walls and the columns.
