Discovering ADHD in Adults
As many adults learn more about their children's hyperactivity and ADD/ADHD diagnosis, they are finding the same symptoms in themselves. Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (or Attention Deficit Disorder) is a neurobehavioral condition that cause problems in concentration and behavior control.
While there has been an increase in childhood diagnosis of ADHD, the belief has been that eventually individuals outgrow the condition. For these reasons, adult ADHD has largely gone undiagnosed. In addition, recent studies compiled by the American Psychiatric Associate suggest that the idea of outgrowing ADHD is a myth, and that well over half, around 60 percent, of children with ADHD see symptoms in adulthood. Studies also show that ADHD is genetic, and therefore if a child is diagnosed with the condition it is likely that at least one parent also has the condition.
Adults with ADHD may have difficulty functioning in the workplace, and employers may lose significant levels of productivity from these employees. Productivity losses can come from absences, daydreaming or distractions, all symptomatic of ADHD. However, increased awareness of adult ADHD is leading to development of new strategies, such as noise-canceling headphones or fidget toys, to help employees.
Struggles at home can also be an issue for adults with ADHD. When one spouse has adult ADHD it can lead to disputes, including over household chores, organization and time management. But while ADHD can certainly cause personal and professional struggles, many people with the condition do not think of it as a disability and find themselves flourishing despite, or because of, their ADHD. No matter what age of adulthood, every person with ADHD can benefit from a diagnosis and the strategies to manage the condition.

The goal for plasmid purification is isolation of nucleic acid from cellular material. This can be accomplished through the use of the SPRI-based paramagnetic microparticles and an external ring magnet plate. These microparticles are encapsulated with a ligand that binds nucleic acids. Once bound, the microparticles are drawn toward the wall of the microplate by a separate, external ring magnet plate. Waste material can be withdrawn from the well leaving the particles (and nucleic acid) behind. The particles are washed and the nucleic acid eluted from the microparticles.
This technology lends itself to high throughput environments. Centrifuges and vacuum pumps with filters are not needed to separate the nucleic acid from the waste.
Materials and Methods
Liquid transfers were performed with a Sciclone ALH 3000 fitted with a High Volume Head and using 100 μL and 200 μL Automation Certified Pipette Tips. A deck mounted Microplate Shaker (CaliperLS), was used for bead resuspension.

Like most big cities across Nigeria, Abuja attracts a large number of people who trade in all manner of wares ranging from toothpicks to high calibre machinery. Among other things, the 'civil service' city attracts a usually high number of dealers of imported second-hand cars.
The reason for this is that car dealers enjoy a lot of patronage from middle income earners and businessmen, who find solace in buying imported second hand cars since the prices of new ones appear to be beyond the reach of many Nigerians.
Dealers in such used vehicles set up shops on both sides of the road, beginning from Mararaba-Nyanya through Kubwa-DeiDei down to Zuba-Kaduna road along the Abuja-Kaduna expressway.
Vehicles on display range from small single door cars to heavy duty equipment.
Apart from COSCHARIS, an auto company, that deals in new luxury cars, with a show room located within the Central Business District, and Honda and Hyundai show rooms on the way to the National Hospital, many other dealers operate from the road side.
Malam Ishaq Sumaila, a car dealer with a shop along Kubwa-Dei, Dei expressway, said he and his colleagues were left with no option but to operate by the road side because pledges to provide them with a market had remained unfulfilled.
He said, "We would prefer a designated place for us to carry out our business because we will be better protected and government can properly monitor tax issues.
"Now from the scattered areas we operate, co-ordination even for our union is difficult because you have individuals using almost every available space to conduct this kind of business."
Another dealer, Mallam Dauda Mohammed said, "Apart from Kubwa; where the road expansion is almost completed, a lot of dust gathers on our wares. You wash three or four times, the rain and the sun affect the colour which make some of the vehicles look older than they really are.
"But if we have a proper market where you can have show rooms or even make shift canopies, where you will not be asked to move your vehicles to give way for road expansion, it will be better for us."
Successive administrations at the FCT have made promises to find a suitable location for a befitting market to accommodate these dealers. A former Minister of the FCT, Dr. Aliyu Modibbo, specifically announced that his administration had concluded arrangements to construct a befitting automobile mart in the city.
He stated this at the maiden edition of the Abuja Geographic Information System Open-House in Abuja, in 2008. Modibbo said the market was to accommodate car dealers who were earlier removed from the city centre.
The plan by the FCT Administration was to relocate car dealers operating along Kubwa expressway to Dakwa district along Suleja road.
Some companies had expressed interest in investing in the proposed N126bn Abuja Automotive Village, which was expected to, on completion, provide for a manufacturing factory and plant to produce structural insulated panels (SIPs), Q panels and prefabricated steel frame structures.
The then minister said a 200-hectare parcel of land had been identified for this purpose and expressed the hope that it would go a long way in boosting the economic base of the FCT.
He was quoted as saying that 100 hectares would be utilised as car market while the other half would be developed into a dry port terminal where all containers would offload their cargoes for distribution to the northern states.
Modibbo had expressed confidence that this would also provide employment, and bring down the cost of cars in the territory.
Modibbo said, "By the time we achieve our aim, Abuja will no longer be a purely civil service town. "Our goal is to make Abuja a city where more people choose to work, more people chose to live, more people do business and many more people visit.
"Reaching that goal demands recognition of our strengths and promotion of those abilities, as well as the wide variety of city issues that impact on our quality of life and the attractiveness of the city location to business and residents."
The minister previously converted the proposed Abuja Automotive Village to an International Cattle Village due to what he claimed was "the appropriateness of its location."
He had also announced that the relocation would prevent heavy trucks from entering the city centre.
However, about five years after, the pledge has remained on the drawing board.
After a recent meeting with the current Minister of the FCT, Senator Bala Mohammed, Chairman of the Motor Dealers Association, FCT chapter, Alhaji Hamza Abdul, said, "They (FCT administration) have shown us the site and like every other project, work must commence on the site.
"This is not the first time a minister is showing us a site. We saw one at Tunga many years back. They also showed us another site at Dei Dei. This is the third site, but you can see that it is not convenient even for us to drive in there.We are not quarrelling with the minister for his effort to keep the city clean, but the environment has to be made conducive. We are ready to move in if the environment is conducive for us.
"Our business is not the type you run in a bush. So, they have to clear the site, create one access road, provide security before you start asking people to move."
Abdul said they had had several meetings with minister's representatives who kept emphasising that the authorities want the automobile village to be like what is obtainable in developed countries.
"But they forget that these people have a long-term plan. That is why you find banks, police stations and so on in their auto village. They did not just move in 21 days like our case in Nigeria," he added.
A Director in Abuja Investment Company, Ibrahim Aliyu, assured the auto dealers that the FCT Administration would do what was required to make the place habitable before the developers will continue work on the site.
The minister, who has inaugurated a nine-man committee to look into the emerging problems of car dealers taking over part of the expressway, noted that turning the "entire place into car mart is unacceptable; as such action has contributed to defacing the environment."
When contacted, the Chief Press Secretary of the FCT, Mallam Mohammed Sule, said the process of providing the market had not been abandoned. He said, "The process is still on and will soon become a reality."

Getting used to knowing how to take advantage of your Post 9/11 GI Bill takes some time. There are a lot of different factors, depending on where and when you want to go to school. An important thing to remember is to apply for the benefits early. You need to let the VA know that you are interested in taking advantage of your benefits as early as possible.
When I was about a year from separating, I applied here: https://www.gibill.va.gov/apply-for-benefits/application/. By doing it before I got out, it ensured that I received my certificate of eligibility by the time I was ready to go to school. Though they are getting faster, it took one year and two months for me to get my certificate. If you don't apply until you get out, you could be waiting a while to start receiving benefits, and this is really going to hurt if you are depending on the BAH that the bill provides to full-time students.
Another thing to keep in mind, especially if you are in an expensive school area like I am in New York, is to see if the school you want to attend participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. This is really great, because it will help you to afford the more expensive institutions. For example, in New York, the maximum rate that VA will pay out per semester for tuition is a little more than $12,000. I go to NYU, which is around $16,000 a semester. Luckily, NYU is a Yellow Ribbon School, and they pitch in an extra $3,000 scholarship so that the majority of my costs are paid for. Each state has different maximums and every school (even different schools within a school) have different add-on amounts, so it is best to do your research.
When you finally get to the school you want to go to, just keep in good contact with whoever is responsible for GI Bill accounts at the bursar's office. Get your Certificate of Eligibility to them as quickly as possible and let them know each semester as soon as you register for classes. Sometimes GI Bill can take a while to pay the school, so you need the bursar to know that they will eventually get their money. This way they can financially clear you, and you won't have to worry about your classes being dropped due to no payment being received. Additionally, if you are taking extra loans, the school won't pay you until they are paid, so it behooves you to give them a call every once and a while to make sure they were paid.
Send me a message if you have any questions about the Post 9/11 GI Bill. I try to stay on top of it so I never have any problems.

Small prey fish can grow a bigger 'eye' on their rear fins as a way of distracting predators and dramatically boosting their chances of survival, new scientific research has found.
Researchers from Australia's ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies (CoECRS) have made a world-first discovery that, when constantly threatened with being eaten, small damsel fish not only grow a larger false 'eye spot' near their tail but also reduce the size of their real eyes.
The result is a fish that looks like it is heading in the opposite direction potentially confusing predatory fish with plans to gobble them up, says Oona Lnnstedt, a graduate student at CoECRS and James Cook University.
For decades scientists have debated whether false eyespots, or dark circular marks on less vulnerable regions of the bodies of prey animals, played an important role in protecting them from predators or were simply a fortuitous evolutionary accident.
The CoECRS team has found the first clear evidence that fish can change the size of both the misleading spot and their real eye to maximise their chances of survival when under threat.
"It's an amazing feat of cunning for a tiny fish," Ms Lonnstedt says. "Young damsel fish are pale yellow in colour and have this distinctive black circular 'eye' marking towards their tail, which fades as they mature. We figured it must serve an important purpose when they are young."
"We found that when young damsel fish were placed in a specially built tank where they could see and smell predatory fish without being attacked, they automatically began to grow a bigger eye spot, and their real eye became relatively smaller, compared with damsels exposed only to herbivorous fish, or isolated ones.
"We believe this is the first study to document predator-induced changes in the size of eyes and eye-spots in prey animals."
When the researchers investigated what happens in nature on a c

Software Engineering, Project Management, and Effectiveness
Today we published 238 new guidance items in Guidance Explorer. If you use the offline client, it should automatically synchronize to our online store.
We're in the process of performing a guidance sweep. The approach to the sweep is twofold:1. Make existing guidance available in Guidance Explorer.2. Identify user experience issues with the information models and tool design.
Benefits in GEMaking existing guidance available in Guidance Explorer involves re-factoring existing security guidance and performance guidance. The benefits of having the guidance available in Guidance Explorer include:
How We Improve Our GuidanceAn underlying strategy in GE was to help support users quickly hunt and gather relevant items rather than try and guess your context and what you need. In other words, it's a tool to help smart people versus a smart tool that might get in your way. This was actually an important decision because we had to pick a problem we knew we could help directly solve and add value.
The feedback from customers on existing guidance was that it was great stuff, but there were 3 key problems:1. it's a copy+paste exercise to grab just the guidance you need2. it's not atomic enough (monoliths over bite-sized chunks)3. many of the items, while they read well, were not actionable enough
That's why we took the following measures on our guidance:
As we port existing guidance to our updated schemas, we often find guidance items lacking key information such as why or how, or example code.
Guidance Explorer in PracticeWhat's been great so far is that some folks in the field have let me know how they've been using it for customer engagments. Apparently the ability to customize guidance has resonated very well. One consultant in particular has used Guidance Explorer for several engagements to save time and effort. He uses GE as a general purpose rules and guidelines store. He's also tailored guidelines and checklists for different audience levels (executive, development leads, architects, developers, PMs) and for different activities (design reviews, code reviews, and deployment reviews).
A few customers have let me know they are using the UNC share scenario to create guidance libraries for their team development. They told me they like the idea that it is like a simple typed-wiki that you can act on. The fact that they can create views and print out docs from the library has been the main appeal.
The other benefit that more customers are appreciating is the templates for guidelines and checklists. They like the fact that it starts to simplify authoring as well as sharing prescriptive guidance. For anybody who has authored guidelines or checklists, they know that it's challenging to write actionable guidance that can be reused. What we're sharing in Guidance Explorer is the benefit of experience and lessons learned over the years of producing resuable guidance for various audiences.
R&D ProjectAs a reminder and to keep things in perspective, Guidance Explorer is an R&D project. While there are immediately tangible benefits, the real focus is on the learnings around user experience so that patterns & practices can improve it's ability to author and share guidance, and to make progress on helping debottleneck the creation of prescritive guidance for the software industry.
FeedbackYou can send feedback on GE directly to the team at email@example.com

Enforcement in the Critical Area
The Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Act (1984) and its Criteria (1986) are implemented at the local level by your county or town. Ensuring compliance is a local responsibility.
The Critical Area Law affords local jurisdictions wide discretion in deciding how to deal with violations. Natural Resources Article, Title 8, Subtitle 18 states:
Most Critical Area jurisdictions prefer to work with property owners to secure compliance with the law either through the permitting process or through management plans that may include mitigation and restoration. Failing this, some planning and zoning offices issue stop work orders and levy fines of $500 or more per day per violation. Commission staff are available to assist citizens inquiring about suspected violations. This fact sheet is intended to help citizens determine whether a violation has occurred and to provide the appropriate local contacts.
Distinguishing Critical Area Violations from Other Violations
The Critical Area is generally defined as all land and water areas within 1,000 feet beyond the landward boundaries of tidal wetlands, the Bay and its tributaries. All development and land-disturbing activities within the Critical Area are guided by specific provisions found in the State-adopted Critical Area Criteria and the local Critical Area programs. Those provisions cover issues from clearing trees and removing vegetation to limiting areas of impervious surface. Below is a list of activities that, without proper approval i.e., building permit, grading permit, variance, Buffer management plan, etc., are considered violations and should be reported immediately to local authorities.
The 100-Foot Buffer
The Critical Area law provides for a 100-foot Buffer along the shoreline to provide water quality benefits and an area of transition between upland and aquatic habitats. The Critical Area Buffer is measured 100 feet inland from mean high water, the landward extent of tidal wetlands, and the edge of tributary streams. The term Buffer also includes areas where the Buffer has been expanded beyond 100 feet to include contiguous steep slopes or hydric soils.
Typical Buffer Violations
General Critical Area Violations
What to Do if You Suspect a Violation
While you may witness one of the above activities, it is possible that it is not a violation. If a property owner has secured approval from the local planning and zoning office, a building and/or grading permit must be displayed on the property. If you still question whether the work is being carried out in accordance with the permit, you should call the office that issued the permit. Having the building and/or grading permit number when you call your local jurisdiction will make it easier for the person answering your call to track the permit.
Remember, permit information is public information; if you choose to remain anonymous, you do not have to give your name. At the end of this brochure you will find a list of telephone numbers for Critical Area local jurisdictions' contacts.

Review: Live for the Moment - Roger Childs (series premiere)
(S01E01) Live for the Moment goes for the heartstrings at the first minute. In the premiere episode, we meet Roger Childs who started to suffer from ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease). Even with his body degenerating, he's managed to continue to be positive for his wife and two children. Jeff Probst arrives, hands the family a journal with several "missions" and hopes that the family will live for the moment.
On paper, the show is basically Phil Keoghan's show No Opportunity Wasted, but with a bigger budget and longer timeline. Live for the Moment is truly a combination of The Bucket List, Big Fish, and Up! The show is saccharine sweet and would have fit perfectly on the Hallmark Channel.
Roger says the most important moral of the episode: it's the small moments and keeping perspective that's important. Anyone could have gotten that from someone closer to their family who has an event similar to Roger; they would have been able to tell you that whether it was a natural disaster, cancer, or just losing a job. There are tons of books and Lifetime specials that could have told us that.
The hour is spent following Roger getting to cherish his life through grand events that he doesn't have to pay for. The episode ends where long lost family members and friends get to see Roger. His old roommate John starts ALS research in his name, he gets named an honorary aircraft commander, and his father and sister start a scholarship fund for his children. The nice touch at the end was as the credits rolled, we got to take a small look at the journal/scrapbook.
The biggest flaw with Live for the Moment's premiere episode is the fact that Roger had already gone through several of the adventures. It was nice seeing him overcome the four events with ALS (I was moved watching his wife have to dress him), but he used to ski with his old roommate. If the show was called Live for the Moment, why isn't he experiencing new things? Roger has flown and skied before, I want to see someone who was suffering from a disease getting an opportunity to do something that they never have experienced, not just get to do something they haven't done in a long time.
Jeff Probst was basically transported from his Survivor hosting duties. His interviews and his voice-overs are all the same. Hell, even the first minute's camera swooping around Jeff looked like Survivor. The journal looked like a prop that could have been a tree mail, and the maps they used looked like they were designed by the same art designers. I remember when Jeff hosted Rock and Roll Jeopardy; he has been heavily influenced to keep this Survivor persona.
The effect of the premiere episode is one thing, but I'm hoping that future episodes can go above and beyond this one. It's hard to open a show with a space shuttle launch and a jet pilot adventure. I will admit that I don't think I could watch this show week after week, because I would get too emotional each week. It will start becoming the "diseased person of the week" if the show airs constantly, defeating the true heart and soul of the show.
I hope, though, that the people won't be forgotten next week when the next person gets to live for the moment. How did you find the episode? Leave comments below.

Gold 20,000 reis of João V, king of Portugal
Minted at Minas Gerais, Brazil, AD 1726
Golden years in Brazil
In the mid-seventeenth century Portugal reasserted its independence from Spain and reclaimed its empire, notably in Brazil. The discovery of rich gold mines there, at Minas Gerais ('General Mines') in 1692-4 boosted Portuguese wealth. Huge gold coins with the names of Portuguese kings were circulated across Europe. This inspired the first gold rush of the Americas. Over 2,000 slaves a year were forced from Africa to work the mines. The output of gold peaked around 1720, with enough to last 'for as long as the world shall endure', a contemporary noted. In a couple of decades the world's supplies may have been doubled. Great Britain in particular absorbed large quantities, following the Methuen Treaty of alliance with Portugal in 1703. The English fleet protected Brazilian trade, and England received complete freedom to trade with Brazil. As the trade balance was always in England's favour, it was paid in Brazilian gold.
The gold of Minas Gerais was minted into two series. One series (including the 12,000 and 24,000 reis) was intended to circulate in Brazil itself. They had the Portuguese arms on the front and the Cross of Christ on the back, with the initials of the mint, M for Minas Gerais, between the arms of the cross. Oddly, the value in reis (here 20,000) written on them is wrong, as the coin had been revalued to 24,000 several years earlier.

My name is Trey Gardner and I am the CEO of GreenGeeks. I have been fortunate to be very successful in working within the web hosting industry for over the past 15 years.
I've helped over 100,000 bloggers, start ups, developers and businesses create their websites through my web hosting company and after receiving so many inquiries from friends and family asking "How can I create a website", I'm going to take a few moments of your time to outline the steps you need to take to create your very own full-blown professional website.
I realize that many of you looking to create a website may not have the technical skills or the know-how, but that's okay. With GreenGeeks, we make it easy for you to build a website from scratch simply using your imagination and a few clicks of the mouse.
15 minutes from now you'll have your very own website! Let's get started...
Trey Gardner, CEO -- GreenGeeks.com
Have Questions or Concerns About the Process?
Give us a call at 1-877-326-7483 and speak to one of our hosting specialists who will answer any questions you have about creating your website with GreenGeeks.
#1. Secure a Domain Name For Your Website
Registering a domain name can be a some what frustrating experience, but it really should be a fun and creative process for you. A domain name is a unique identifier to point traffic to a website, sort of like a phone number does to a persons telephone. Here's some criteria that I've put together in selecting the perfect domain name when creating a website.
- Does the domain name relate to the website's content?
- Is the domain name easy to spell and pronounce?
- Is the domain as short and precise as it can be?
- Does the domain name have the correct domain extenion (.com, .net., org)?
You're going to want to make sure that the domain name is actually available, you can do that by using our domain search tool. Domain names cost about $13.95 per year but when you create your website through GreenGeeks, we will include a free domain for as long as you remain a customer.
#2. Getting a Web Hosting Package
Many whom are looking to create a website often have the question which web hosting package is right for them. This is a legitimate question as sometimes the options can be overwhelming. GreenGeeks has services that cater to simple websites just starting out to all the way to very large and complex websites.
Since you're just starting out and looking to create a website I will simply recommend that you opt for a shared hosting package, which starts from $3.96 per month. This package will give you everything that you need to get your domain registered and website created.
That's not all, unlike our competitors which only allow you to create a website that is limited and then ask you to pay more to add more pages or e-commerce features like a shopping cart... my company doesn't. We won't ask you for more money for additional features such as personalized e-mail addresses, web space, bandwidth, databases, shopping cart functionality, blogging, etc. Also, due to the proprietary technology used by some of these competitors, moving to another provider in the future is almost impossible. I will teach you how to create a website that is portable to another provider in the future, because I don't believe in holding my customers hostage.
Here's some of what my company will provide you for as little as $3.96 per month:
Remember you'll get the free domain name. Once you're account is created, continue on to step 3 below.
#3. Use WordPress To Create Your Website
Now that you've got your web hosting account, let's work on actually setting up your website.
You may or may have not heard about the wonderful site building tool called WordPress, but this tool will be the foundation of your website. WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that is used by over 60 million websites worldwide. The best part? It's completely free to install and use. I've made it easy for my customers to obtain, install and start using WordPress on our hosting platform. Lawrence from our technical support team will walk you through on how to install WordPress.
Congratulations, you've just created your first website!
You've now created your first website. The possibilities from this point forward are endless. Included as part of your service are tools to allow you to submit your website to the search engines, receive free marketing credits, access to WordPress themes along with many other tools that will help your website to flourish.
You'll never be alone...
If you ever need help, my very experienced support team is a click, call or e-mail away. I've also created a team specifically to follow up with you from time to time to make sure that you've got everything you need to make sure you're successful online. You'll never be alone in your journey, that's my promise.

On TV: Training For The Apocalypse
On Monday night, April 30, Training For The Apocalypse premiered on the National Geographic Channel. From the Nat Geo Channel website:
Training For the Apocalypse chronicles the journeys of survivalists, truth-seekers and prophets united in their quests for personal peace as they prepare for global cataclysm and the near-extinction of humanity. In an era when rumors, prophecies and theories have often eclipsed various evident realities at hand, TFA serves to humanize, enlighten and inform, with a cautious respect for the words and deeds of our subjects rather than a capitalization on vague fears or subjective judgments. Practical discoveries are made while distinct personal stories develop about those striving and struggling to live their best, while preparing for the worst.
Training For The Apocalypse starred the following:
Fernando Antonio Salguero, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Founder, Survive And Thrive (Meetup.com group)
Mission: Teach self-reliance
Leland Freeborn, Parowan, Utah
Exiled Mormon, the "Parowan Prophet"
Mission: Prepare for nuclear war
Brian Johnson, Parowan, Utah
Parowan Prophet congregant
Mission: Total independence
Anonymous, Los Angeles, California
Hardcore survivalist
Mission: ?
Viewers were introduced to the small town of Parowan, Utah, where the "Parowan Prophet," Leland Freeborn, and his congregation were meeting and reading scripture in their leader's home. The footage was shot just before Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. The Parowan Prophet predicted that a nuclear weapon would be detonated in Washington, D.C., on Inauguration Day, January 20, 2009.
The congregation also talked about Mayan prophecy and December 21, 2012.
Mayan descendants in Lake Atitlán, Guatemala, don't seem to attach much importance to the date. Some fishermen were interviewed and one said:
We've had big disasters from volcanoes. When we get to 2012, we don't know, we'll be working and fishing. But thanks to God and to you, for giving this news to us.
He offered up that last part with a smile on his face.
Back in the States, "Anonymous" from Los Angeles, California, responded:
You can laugh now, but we'll see who's … laughing when the mushroom cloud finds its way over the horizon. You're gonna look back on this and you're gonna think wow, I'm a … idiot.
Dr. Robert Sitler, Director of Latin American Studies, Stetson University, expanded on the discussion about the ancient Mayans and December 21, 2012. Dr. Sitler said:
People in the West, I think, often look to indigenous cultures as a source of inspiration, because our cultures, in a sense, I would say are spiritually uninspired for the most part. The ancient Maya said next to nothing about the year 2012. But as it turns out, many different oral traditions do speak of an imminent period of radical transformation of one form or another. Actually, every single elder that I've spoken to in Belize, Guatemala, and Mexico has said virtually the same thing. There is this sense of pending, massive societal transformation.
Pedro Cruz Garcia, a Mayan Elder Shaman, added:
For the Maya, there is no world ending. There is a constant change.
Next, viewers were shown Parowan Prophet congregants preparing for the predicted nuclear holocaust. Underground/fallout shelters are central to their preparations.
Leland Freeborn and his followers were then shown watching the 2009 Inauguration Day ceremony. It's revealed the Parowan Prophet is not a big Barack Obama fan- to say the least.
Fast forward to Thanksgiving Day, 2009. By the way, no nuclear blast in Washington D.C. earlier in the year.
One of the congregants, Brian Johnson, was shown teaching his son how to shoot firearms. Johnson shared with viewers:
I think the defining moment's almost here where we're either for good or for bad. You know, there's just a tenseness in the air. I mean, it's the same story, a different millennium. The rise and fall of society.
The family man eventually had a falling out with the congregation, and was making plans to move his family to Idaho in hopes of achieving complete self-sufficiency.
"Armed For The Apocalypse"
Hey guys- don't forget to use hearing and eye protection!
Nat Geo Channel Video
Anonymous from Los Angeles chimed in:
Some people say they're visionaries. I think they're … wackos. But I have a vision, which is, it goes like this: Pick one room, just one room out of your place and just fill it to the brim with food, supplies, water, get yourself a gun. …, you ain't gonna do it with a sword … Before the … comes down get yourself a … load of … bullets, and then just get yourself a …, whatever you believe in, and keep it close. Keep it … close. What else do you want to know about being badass?
Shortly thereafter, three Parowan Prophet congregants- Danny, Sam, and Caroline- were interviewed. Caroline shared something that I thought was particularly insightful:
You don't cease being a normal person because you decide you want to prepare for something that might happen.
The next part of the show focused mainly on Fernando Antonio Salguero and the Survive And Thrive group out of Philadelphia. Salguero revealed:
As we go through cataclysmic change, suffering is a part of life. With that being said, I see my role as easing suffering… I started that Survive And Thrive Meetup Group specifically to welcome in everyone.
It's revealed Salguero's early years were really bad- which helps explain this emphasis on inclusivity.
The documentary next focused on a Survive And Thrive wilderness training event. One of the participants, a young African-American girl by the name of Sarah, said:
Survivalism, you might not need it at first, but it's a good tool to have maybe if the world's not going to end, but maybe we'll actually, like, lose our homes and we'll actually have to live in the wilderness like we did millions and millions of years ago.
Very cool to see youngsters learning these skills. One of the adult participants by the name of Joanne added:
Well, my friend asked me the other day if I was preparing for Armageddon, and I said even just 100 to 150 years ago people were homesteading a lot more than they are now, and knew how to do 95 percent of the stuff they needed on their own. And we've come so far from that, and I think it's a very dangerous place to be.
John, a Survive And Thrive instructor, shared this with viewers:
Every new year's, somebody thinks the world is going to end. Sometimes I get caught up in it. But everything happens for a reason. Whether or not I survive doesn't matter. It's how I live every day that matters. I try to keep that in mind. The emergency could be as simple as a small hurricane- or the Apocalypse with Four Horsemen. It all comes down to will- if you want to live or if you want to give up. You can be a hero, you can be a villain, you can be a victim. It's your choice.
As this part of the show was coming to a close, Salguero admitted:
I started this group not having a whole lot of faith in humanity as a whole. So I started this group without having too much expectation of its ability to work together. Honestly, I still consider most people to be flakes. Honestly.
Immediately thereafter, his German Shepherd dog got loose. Neighborhood kids assisted Salguero with rounding up his canine companion. But not before the Survive And Thrive joked:
You know what I need as part of my survival kit? A … tranquilizer gun. How about that?
It's at this point that Training For The Apocalypse really started to humanize the four individuals who starred in the documentary.
Salguero reflected on what just happened and admitted:
That's a perfect example of where I think that I can be wrong. I'm willing to be wrong. In fact, in many cases I hope that I am wrong about so much of what I believe. I pray that I'm wrong. So the idea of not relying on other people, the idea of keeping neighbors at a distance. When the reality is, it's most likely a tribe, it's most likely teamwork, that will actually get us through tough times. And this is an example of where I am open to the experience, I am not grounded in my ego, and I am willing to change. I pray for change.
Salguero added later:
My daughter is really what ended my suicidal self-loathing for most of my life.
Speaking of daughters, one of Leland Freeborn's stopped by. The way Camisha and her father interacted seemed to be really not much different from how other dads and their adult daughters might.
The Parowan Prophet's neighbor, Lisa, added this:
I think he's prepared, but I don't think he knows what for.
Brian Johnson admitted:
I just basically want to be able to do things according to the dictates of my own faults, conscience.
And then there was Anonymous, who was shown having problems reassembling a handgun. Hey, we're all human.
Overall, I liked Training For The Apocalypse. While I was initially afraid the production company and the National Geographic Channel were using the popular, shallow stereotypes of people preparing for Armageddon, the documentary went on to attempt to point out there was much more to these individuals- fellow human beings, fellow Americans, each on their own journey to prepare not for the end of the world, but for the end of the world as they (we) know it (TEOTWAWKI). Remember what was written on the Nat Geo Channel website about the show:
TFA serves to humanize, enlighten and inform, with a cautious respect for the words and deeds of our subjects rather than a capitalization on vague fears or subjective judgments. Practical discoveries are made while distinct personal stories develop about those striving and struggling to live their best, while preparing for the worst.
I feel the documentary successfully carried this out.
Training For The Apocalypse is scheduled to be re-broadcast on Monday, May 7, 6 PM Eastern Time on the National Geographic Channel.
2 Comments to On TV: Training For The Apocalypse
Well said, it was a very human doc. I did not expect the final edit to look like that but it was very honest.

Thank you so much for this detailed, intelligent and thoughtful article. You nailed it, completely recognizing pretty much exactly what we, the crew, were attempting to help express and accomplish.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) -- Ladies in the Grand Valley are getting together for golf and a good time, all for a good cause. Today kicked off the Western Slope Triple Play Women's three day golf tournament at Bookcliff Country Club.
After nearly a decade, the event has been revived and dozens of women teed off to benefit Hilltop's Latimer House.
"We all being women, we thought, anybody that's had a family member or knows anybody with domestic violence, it's a tough situation and Latimer House does such a beautiful job, so we're excited to raise money for them," Vicki Riley of The Western Slope Triple Play.
This weekend, The Peach Valley Bar-Brew Still Rods and Wheels Poker Run and Funfest is another event benefiting the Latimer House.
There will be a car show, live music at Livery Brewery and Distillery, a dunk tank with local celebrities, a jump house for kids and face painting.

There have been many discussions of turbulence and the fact that it is a stochastic process. There have been significantly fewer discussions of what this means in a practical sense of predictability and the consequences for risk assessment. Now we have begun to address these issues as they arise in energetic reactive flows, in which there are multiple interacting stochastic processes, including flow instabilities, turbulence, many interactions between shocks, flames and vortices, and the resulting formation of ignition centers (hot spots).
The flow that allows us to focus on these issues is the evolution of an initially laminar flame, a background medium that may be either quiescent or turbulent. In the first case, we consider a flame propagating down a channel filled with a quiescent, energetic gas and a series of obstacles. As this system evolves, it undergoes flow transitions from subsonic to supersonic, as it simultaneously undergoes transitions among combustion states from a laminar to a violent turbulent flame, and then possibly to the strongest form of combustion, a detonation. This sequence of events and transitions, taken both separately and together, are critical elements of systems ranging from engines to accidental fuel explosions. The second case, where the laminar flame is embedded in a turbulent medium with no solid barriers and no nearby walls, also might occur in accidental explosions or in high-speed engines. In addition, it is important for addressing a fundamental problem in astrophysics: How and why does a deflagration in a type Ia supernova (SNIa) transition to a detonation?
This presentation is illustrated visually by movies made from results of multidimensional, compressible, unsteady, deterministic solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. In the process of analyzing the dynamic events portrayed in the movie, we have found several surprising properties of the evolving nonequilibrium and non-Kolmogorov turbulence as well as a mechanism for detonations to arise in SNIa.

Middle East control freaks and their collusion against Morsi
The regional control freaks like Saudi/UAE Monarchies, Iranian Theocracy, Israeli Apartheid regime and Syrian Dictatorship felt threatened by the rise of Muslim Brotherhood in the region. It is interesting to see that these have their own conflicting interests but rise of a genuine movement was their common target.
These forces are in conflict with each other in Syria, Palestine and other parts of the region but for a rising democracy of middle east under the leadership an elected president Morsi, they decided to directly or indirectly collude with each other.
This shows big challenges for pro-democracy forces in the region especially if they belong to Islamic movements.
We wish best of luck to people who are opposing a military coup. For those who think that the anti-Morsi crowd in Tahrir square exercised their democratic right by demanding a coup and their large number provides moral justification of the coup. My question is: What about the millions who voted for him? It means anyone who can gather a big crowd on nations capital can practically impose their will on people living in other parts of the country. Egyptians will soon realize where they are heading and what fraud happened with them. The victory they achieved 2 years ago is lost as the control is in the hands of same forces now (just different faces). They should have waited for 3 years for next elections instead of calling military or accepting military coup.What about the millions who voted for him?

Azhar Ahmed convicted of offensive Facebook message in UK–> A question mark on the concept of freedom of speech
It is remarkable to see the colors of hypocrisy in different societies. One such example can be seen in the home of world's so called the best democracy in the world i.e. United Kingdom. On one hand they preach concepts of freedom and democracy to the whole world and even bomb them to achieve these objectives and on the other hand they punish teenage boy Azhar Ahmed for just writing some facebook message against the soldiers of British Army.
What a hypocrisy?
Azhar Ahmed convicted of offensive Facebook message
Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-19604735
A teenager has been found guilty of posting an offensive Facebook message following the deaths of six British soldiers in Afghanistan.
Azhar Ahmed, 19, of Ravensthorpe, West Yorkshire, was charged with sending a grossly offensive communication.

We have been hearing some news about the massacre of Muslim minority community going on Burma but due to restrictions on media, not much is coming out. There have been some fake images circulating in the social media but that doesn't make the real issue fake. Tariq A. Al-Maeena has tried to put some light in his article written for Saudi Gazette.
Burmese Muslims under threat of extinction

Tariq A. Al-Maeena
While most of the media's attention is focused on Syria, the state of the euro or the US presidential elections, very little is being said about state sponsored ethnic cleansing in Myanmar or Burma. Perhaps it is because the unfortunate victims happen to be Muslims and there are no strategic gains to be garnered by allying with them.
Ten Burmese Muslims on their way to a spiritual place of worship last month were attacked by a large number of Rakhine Buddhists who butchered and killed them with knives. Five others escaped. One man from the village where the attack took place said a mob of ethnic Rakhines set upon the bus carrying the pilgrims and carried out the massacre.
"More than a hundred people beat and killed those people. The residents even torched the bus," he said, adding that the police arrived but were unable to control the baying crowd. "There are not many people at the scene now, only dead bodies on the road. The senior town residents are trying to comfort the people," the man added. The Rakhine Buddhists are also threatening Muslims from the other towns of Rakhine state with the same fate.
There was a lot of fanfare and noise by the West on the repressions by the military regime against its people. The pressure by Western governments intensified in the form of sanctions against the regime which resulted in the generals allowing a small amount of democracy to creep in.
This also brought notable Burmese activists working for democracy such as Aung San Suu Kyi to the front pages and television screens and calls for the continued democratization of the country. Amidst this fanfare of publicity, the plight of the minority Muslims somehow failed to attract any headlines or generate any sanctions.
A government statement following the massacre of the Muslims last month which was published in the New Light of Myanmar added more fuel to the burning embers when it warned against "anarchic and lawless" acts, but referred to the victims as "kalar" (blackie), a racial slur used for persons of Indian appearance.
Dozens of people marched in Yangon to protest growing anti-Muslim violence and accused the government of stoking the flames of sectarian tensions. Political leaders and civil society groups appealed for calm and called on the government to issue an apology.
"The newspapers should not stoke this conflict. Are they trying to suggest that one race is more violent than another?" said an MP from the Rakhine Nationalities Development Party. The state media has since issued a retraction for the use of racially offensive language in its official appeal for calm and urged readers to refer to the victims as "Islamic residents".
In the past, the Nobel Prize winner and democratic icon Aung San Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy have gone to great lengths to avoid discussing the country's Muslim minority, especially the Rohingyas, for fear of alienating many of their supporters. But following the brutal slayings, which was one more chapter of targeted violence against the Muslim minority, she was compelled to speak out.
Finally breaking her silence, she joined the fray in the debate by calling for the perpetrators to be held to account in accordance with the rule of law. She added that "the majority of the people in a society should have sympathy for the minority."
"Maybe some people would not like me saying this but I have to say what I must say regardless of whether they like it or not. When you are the majority in a society, then you are the strong party. If you are strong then you must be generous and sympathetic. I would like to see all people in Burma get along with each other regardless of their religion and ethnicity."
This pattern of violence against the Muslim minority should be brought to light. The safety and security of all minorities in any society must be guaranteed.
World governments and international human rights organizations that were so focused on the democratization of the Burmese in the past must now focus their attention on saving one of the country's minorities in the present.

Confessions of an 'agent' in Syria–>DAWN News Article
Below is an article by a Syrian journalist who has put light on the lives people of Syria are living in fear. Bashar al Asad like his father is a tyrant and he seems to be the modern version of Nazi leadership. People should raise their voices all over the world and support the freedom and justice loving people in any manner they can.
Confessions of an 'agent' in Syria–>DAWN News Article
by Maryam Hasan (Pen name)
Source : http://www.dawn.com/2012/02/28/confessions-of-an-agent-in-syria.html
Whether it's a call on my phone or at the door, I feel scared to death. I mentally prepare myself for the worst, assuming that "they" are here to take me.
But then, when I find a friend at the door or a homeless compatriot asking for food, I realise that it is not my day yet, it is someone else's.
Despite being unusually lucky, my nightmares don't end. I rather prepare myself to deal with a situation when Bashar's sleuths would come to pick me up for writing about the misery of Syrian taxpayers and democracy-lovers.
Regardless of our terrible conditions, we do greet each other daily with 'sabah al-khair' or good morning but with little hope for the same.
When I hear stories of torture and disfigured bodies of the missing Syrians and journalists alike, my only prayer to Allah remains, "I am ready for it but ease it on me and my people please."
We write with pen names and log on the Internet using proxies, thinking we are safe. The reality is otherwise. My missing journalist friends and bloggers had no time to say bye to their loved ones inside the very home they were abducted from. Al-mokhabarat or intelligence agents, just plucked them away, mostly in the dark of the night.
They may discover me sooner or later but I make it a point to erase all my cell phone logs of call and text messages, clear my browser history and empty my laptop's trash bin. Thinking that I might have forgotten something, sometimes I repeat the act many times a night.
Of late, my personal fear of being kidnapped by government sleuths has been overshadowed by a big, bloodier development. Every day, I see uploaded YouTube videos of the best of Soviet and Russian arsenal knocking down bustling neighborhoods first in Dara'a, then Hama and now Homs.
While I still fear the footsteps of sleuths on my door, I am not being searched as minutely as before.
Instead of looking out for activists and undercover journalists, Bashar's military is wiping out entire cities from world maps, over suspicions of treason against the Alawite regime.
What started as massacre has duly transformed into genocide. My editors abroad insist on sending my stories with real names, concrete evidence and versions from both sides. I have been in double jeopardy since the first eight months of the uprising when the world only knew about Tahrir square kind of protests.
I, sometimes, wonder if the top-notch media watchdog bodies really know what a faceless and nameless journalist in Syria goes through, at the hands of sleuths as well as the very editors known as gatekeepers.
When making a phone call can risk not only yours and your families' lives but also the person answering the phone, calling a government source is simply suicidal. Even the most naïve journalist here knows that cellular and landline phone companies are not only owned by the regime's front-men but also bugged and monitored.
Simultaneously, Syria is a busy place for journalists where one cannot choose which story angle to focus on any given day i.e. massacres in Homs, protests in Damascus and Idlib, Russian FM's visit to Bashar, or statements from Washington echoing only fake promises.
But in the end the choice won't be mine! The media company decides which one suits its agenda and its geopolitical context. Mostly, the easy bet is to bank on the wire service, ignoring the at-risk on-ground journalist who for them is a mere 'stringer'!
I felt proud of my profession when I first saw stories by foreign journalists covering Syria from their high risk abodes and makeshift media centers. Though the world would not have believed a Syrian journalist like me for the Bab Amar massacre or siege of Homs but I hope they won't ignore the outsiders' testimony.
The natural but tragic death of Anthony Shadid, a Lebanon-born journalist for The New York Times, weighed very heavy on Syrian people's hearts and the battered country's image. Syria was referred to as home of death.
Besides dozens if not hundreds of slain Syrian journalists, the uprising has claimed two French media-men, and the one and only Marie Colvin died in more familiar way. Their heartrending deaths came in solidarity with local fellow professionals whose names and faces may be known when the tyrant falls and conscience rules in Syria.
Unluckily, I have many pen names for it is hard to write with a real one. Death of Marie Colvin was personally embarrassing to me. Should I still use pen names when my star colleagues are writing with their warm blood?
I am a single woman with no liabilities except a widowed mother and siblings. One simple story with my real name appearing on an Arabic language blog or English-language website has greater probability of leading sleuths to my home.
Now even my family rarely knows which pen name I use and where in the world, my work publishes. Not that I don't trust my family but the regime's four decades of fear can easily cause a Freudian slip.
A year ago, I proudly showed off my byline in international dailies but now we are writing for our lives and not for pride.
I rarely get internet access good enough to open my emails and send my stories in time. I must admit that overall depressing conditions too result in my missing deadlines. Ironically, stories featuring Syrians' bloodbath are never stale and the desk accepts them more often.
When I work on my laptop, my siblings and mother spy on me to see what I am doing or writing. My eldest sister advised me last September, "I can't stop a journalist from writing but she should not forget the fate her younger brothers may face if they (mokhabarat) find out."
One of my university fellows was picked up for writing a blog about a missing seven-year-old in Dara'a. Her brother went to a police station to lodge a report but never returned home. Three weeks later, their mother was asked to receive her son's body from the same police office. She not only got the body of her 20-year-old son but also discovered the disfigured corpse of her blogger daughter.
Earlier, I hoped to change the world's opinion with my writings but now, I am only recording testimonies of massacres and detailing current history.
Long after they have taken me to die in their dark cells, my stories will serve as credible evidence to try Bashar and his advisors for crimes against humanity.
Like journalism, we are learning survival techniques on our own, the hard way. Whenever a couple of us sit together away from our parents and the listening walls, we talk about the best ways in dealing with the worst.
I usually tell my colleagues, "Why do you think they would wait for us to admit or defend ourselves. Our charge-sheets are already there with no room for defense or discussion . . . Agents we are! . . . Agents of change!"
Maryam Hasan is a young journalist, whose family struggled against Hafiz Al-Assad's tyrannical rule and policies. She is using a pen-name due to security reasons.
Rs 8,500 bn corruption mars Gilani tenure: Transparency –>Ansar Abbasi, The News
Transparency International Pakistan says Gilani tenure has given a loss of Rs 8,500 billions in corruption so far. Still nincompoos and corrupts in government expect people to pay taxes like "responsible" citizens. Yes, people like us who pay taxes despite corruption are responsible and they are responsible for beeing ignorant.
People should go for a collective boycott of taxes and take back the country from these evil ruling elite.
Rs 8,500 bn corruption mars Gilani tenure: Transparency

by Ansar Abbasi
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has lost an unbelievably high amount, more than Rs8,500 billion (Rs8.5 trillion or US$94 billion), in corruption, tax evasion and bad governance during the last four years of Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani's tenure, Transparency International Pakistan (TIP) claims.
The TIP advisor, Adil Gillani, told The News that the real impact of corruption in the country's economy is far more than what is generally estimated or what is formally uncovered. He believes that Pakistan does not need even a single penny from the outside world if it effectively checks the menace of corruption and ensures good governance.
It is generally believed that the four years of the present regime under Gilani had been the worst in terms of corruption and bad governance in the country's history. Past records of corruption were broken and Pakistan started rising in the ranks of the most corrupt nations of the world.
There has been no check on corruption as the anti-corruption institutions like the National Accountability Bureau and Federal Investigation Agency instead of checking corruption have been siding with the corrupt.
These institutions have been helping the corrupt to get off the hook by distorting and mutilating the evidence in favour of the influential accused.
Adil Gillani, the TIP representative, who too has been haunted by the government during these years for producing corruption reports, explained that the TIP pointed out corruption of Rs390 billion in 2008, Rs450 billion in 2009, Rs825 billion in 2010 and Rs1,100 billion in 2011 under the present regime. The total of these identified cases of corruption is Rs2,765 billion.
In addition to this, he explained the following:
The minister of finance of the present regime himself confirmed corruption in FBR of over Rs500 billon per year, which makes the total Rs2,000 billion; Auditor General of Pakistan pointed out Rs315 billion corruption in 2010; Public Accounts Committee recovered Rs115 billion in 30 months till 2011; circular debt is Rs190 million; KESC was given Rs55 billion illegal benefits per annum since 2008; state-owned enterprises like PSO, PIA, Pakistan Steel, Railways, SSGC, SNGC are eating away Rs150-300 billion per annum; tax to GDP ratio in 2008 was 11%, which in 2011 has reduced to 9.1% instead of being increased.
Gillani explained that Pakistan's Gross Domestic Product is worth US$175 billion and in the light of this the drop of 1.9% in the tax GDP means annual loss of US$ 3.3 billion. This confirms that FBR is losing Rs300 million per annum, which is annual additional loss since 2008 and stands at Rs1,200 billon in four years
The TIP adviser added that India's tax-GDP ratio is 18%, and at that rate, Pakistan's tax evasion/corruption in FBR is 9% of $175 billion, which is US$15.5 billion per year, i.e. Rs1,400 billion per year.
It is worth mentioning here that it is not only the Transparency International but there have been different international bodies including the World Bank and world capitals, which have been showing their concern over rising trend of corruption in Pakistan under the Gilani's regime. It was mounting corruption and extremely bad governance, which even dithered the outside world to offer cash to Pakistan during 2010 and 2011 floods, which devastated different parts of Pakistan and affected millions of people.
At home the corruption became a fashion in such a shameless manner that even the cabinet ministers started openly pointing fingers at each other and even at the highest levels including the prime minister. Some even approached the Supreme Court but despite all this, corruption remained the hallmark of the present regime, which instead of curbing it started defending it in the name of democracy.
JI/PTI: Will the fundamentals be compromised over tactical politics?
Recent wave of Arab spring and success of Justice and Development Party in Turkey have given many lessons to Islamic movements and political parties around the world.
These revolutions and political successes came as a result of patient and hard laboured struggles without compromising on fundamental issues.
Here in Pakistan, after wasting a decade in an un-wanted foreign war, there was a chance of smaller but ideologically focused parties to join hands against the so called war on terror.
The other fundamental issues which got spot light during that time were issues like independent judiciary,corruption, missing persons and breaking the status-quo in Pakistani politics.
Two political forces, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf led by Imran Khan and Jamat e Islami led by Munawwar Hassan, can be expected to bring people together on fundamental issues related to the survival of our country. On one hand eyebrows are being raised over the inclusion of former PML-Q members in PTI and their alleged soft corner for MQM which Imran Khan has rejected.
PTI's poltical leadership has been denying the impression that they are forming any alliance with forces of status-quo, MQM with its politics of violence or any corrupt leadership. Their point of view on the inclusion of new leadership as expressed by Imran Khan recently is that these people are joining PTI after agreeing with PTI's agenda and knowing that their assets and credibility will be scruitinized before giving them any party tickets.
Time will tell if PTI sticks to what it claims. Now in another turn of events Jamat e Islami is getting closer with PML-N, a force well-known for being an important part of status-quo along with two other pillars including PPP and establishment.
This development is interesting as according to the news reports, Farid Paracha of Jamat e Islami said,"All the PML-Q has been renamed as PTI. If we have to work with these corrupt people, there is no need to get closer to the PTI."
This line of argument is interesting from Jamat e Islami's senior leader. JI is criticizing PTI for including those who are joining the party after accepting PTI's agenda on USA war on terror, corruption,judiciary etc. Also these people are joining PTI after knowing the fact that their assets and credibility will be scruitinized before giving them party tickets.
On the other hand JI prefers to be partners with a party which is itself an important part of status-quo and has a good history of corrupt power politics (JI's past statements are also there on this). It was evident from the JI's recent social media campaign that the people in JI who support PML-N and JUI-F are not happy with PTI's growing popularity and a possible conflict of interest in the form of some common vote bank or supporter base especially anti-war on terror votebank.
If we talk about fundamentals, PML-N supported operations in Sawat and tribal areas, and played its double role in judiciary movement. Also the possibility of them having a clear stance on corruption is very limited, if we look at their past tenures in federal government.
But still they are eligible for being a partner in the eyes of JI's senior leader despite former accusations by JI on PML-N for playing the role of a friendly opposition.
So far there are no clear statements on the recent developments between PTI and JI relationship by their top most leaderships. According to news reports, they are expected to meet soon to discuss recent developments in Pakistani politics and way forward with each other.
I hope they will keep fundamental issues like war on terror, corrution, indepndent judiciary, missing persons and independent foreign policy in mind before taking any major decision. This is a make or break time for Pakistani politics as new developments are taking place in neighbouring Afghanistan and a new wave of change in Pakistan is knocking our doors.
Will PTI and JI compromise their fundamental stances over some tactical politics? Their answer may determine the future course of our country and its politics.

No charges filed against Union Gap's mayor
UNION GAP, Wash. -- Union Gap's police department said it finished its preliminary investigation and no charges will be filed against Jim Lemon.
Prosecutors are still reviewing the police investigation and could re-open the case.
It's still not clear exactly what happened between Lemon and a fellow employee at City Hall a couple weeks ago.
That worker could decide to press charges herself.

Air Conditioning
An air conditioner is the outdoor unit that cools air and sends it to the indoor unit for circulation through your home. Indoor and outdoor units are designed to work together. When the air conditioner is properly matched with a furnace or air handler, you get maximum efficiency and longer system life.
Furnaces heat and circulate warm air in the winter. Furnace heating ability is measured with an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) percentage. A higher AFUE percentage indicates a more efficient furnace.
Heat Pumps
A split system heat pump keeps homes comfortable all year long. In summer, it draws heat out of your home to cool it. In the winter, it draws heat from outside air into your home to warm it.
Packaged Heating and Cooling Systems
In a packaged system, all equipment is built into an outdoor unit, usually on a concrete slab or other platform. The "package" that gives it its name provides central air conditioning during the summer and heat in colder months.
Thermostats are extremely important because they are your interface and control system for your heating and air conditioning equipment. This is the device that will give you the information on what the equipment is doing, when it needs to be serviced, and allows you to set the exact temperature and humidity you want to maintain in your home.
