Defense News reports: The US State Department has facilitated $33 billion worth of weapons sales to its Arab Gulf allies since May 2015, according to department figures.
The six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have received weapons including ballistic missile defense capabilities, attack helicopters, advanced frigates and anti-armor missiles, according to David McKeeby, a spokesman the State Department's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs.
"Consistent with the commitments we made to our Gulf partners at the Camp David summit last May, we have made every effort to expedite sales. Since then, the State and Defense departments have authorized more than $33 billion in defense sales to the 6 Gulf Coordination Council countries," McKeeby told Defense News. [Continue reading…]

Gulf states guarding their interests in Saudi-Iran rift
The New York Times reports: For all the diplomatic dominoes that have fallen across the Middle East in recent days, with ambassadors from different countries flying home as a result of the explosive rift between Saudi Arabia and Iran, the map of allegiances has not significantly altered.
Certainly, several countries offered muscular shows of solidarity to Saudi Arabia after an Iranian mob attacked its embassy in Tehran over the weekend, prompting a crisis that has put the United States in a bind and has threatened to set back the prospects for a resolution to the conflict in Syria.
By Tuesday, Kuwait had recalled its ambassador to Iran, the United Arab Emirates had downgraded its diplomatic relationship, and Bahrain and Sudan had joined Saudi Arabia in severing its relationship with Tehran entirely.
Yet many other Sunni Muslim countries signaled that they intended to take a more measured approach to the argument — sympathizing with Saudi Arabia, a rich and powerful ally, but also determined to avoid getting sucked into a harmful conflict with Iran, a country governed by Shiite clerics, with potentially grave costs.
"The smaller Gulf states are worried they will get caught in the middle," said Michael Stephens, a research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute in London. "It worries them greatly that things could go badly."
Some countries, like Turkey, Egypt and Pakistan, are already battling their own domestic insurgencies. Others are keen to guard their strategic interests or to keep the door open to trade with Iran while there is a prospect of American sanctions being lifted.
Qatar, which shares with Iran access to the world's largest natural gas field in the Persian Gulf, has yet to declare its hand. Oman has also been quiet, sticking to its longstanding position of neutrality on Saudi Arabia and Iran.
In Turkey, where senior officials have warned about the impact of the crisis on a "powder keg" region, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu offered his country's services to help resolve the conflict peacefully. [Continue reading…]
The politics animating Sunni-Shia sectarian conflict
Nader Hashemi writes: The response by most Arab regimes, principally those of the GCC, to the Arab Spring is revealing. It serves to highlight the salience of authoritarianism over theology in understanding the dynamics of Sunni-Shi'i relations today. Fearing that the demand for political change would sweep across the Arab world and destabilize their own societies, several of these regimes relied on a strategy of exploiting sectarianism to deflect demands for democratization. The response from these governments can be situated within the framework of Joel Migdal's thesis [discussed earlier in this article] on the nature of "weak states" and the "strategies of survival" that shape their politics.
In writing about the House of Saud's reaction to the Arab Spring, Madawi al-Rasheed observes that:
Sectarianism became a Saudi pre-emptive counter-revolutionary strategy that exaggerates religious difference and hatred and prevents the development of national non-sectarian politics. Through religious discourse and practices, sectarianism in the Saudi context involves not only politicizing religious differences, but also creating a rift between the majority Sunnis and the Shia minority.
This was made easier when only Shi'as in the Eastern province came out to demonstrate during the Arab Spring, while similar protests in the rest of Saudi Arabia failed to materialize. The specter of an Iranian Shi'i/Savafid threat was invoked, and the usual Wahhabi court (Ulema) were given air time to issue fatwas against public demonstrations and to warn people of the wrath of God that would fall upon those who defied their rulers. The security forces were then brought in as backup to restore order via the usual tactics of repression that are common in non-democratic regimes.
Al-Rasheed, however, notes that it is wrong to characterize relations between the Saudi regime and its Shi'i population as a one-way street that relies exclusively on repression. The House of Saud "deploys multiple strategies when it comes to its religious minorities and their leadership," she observes. "Wholesale systematic discrimination against the Shia may be a characteristic of one particular historical moment, but this can be reversed. A political situation may require alternatives to repression. Sometimes repression is combined with co-optation and even promotion of minority interests and rights."
For example, when ISIS bombed Shi'i worshippers on two occasions in May 2015, the Saudi regime strongly condemned the attacks and vowed to hunt down the perpetrators. Expressions of solidarity with the Shi'a soon followed and were widely disseminated on official state media. Summarizing this strategy, al-Rasheed concludes that:
It is important to note that there is no regular and predictable strategy deployed by Saudi authoritarianism against the Shia. Each historical moment requires a particular response towards this community, ranging from straightforward repression to co-optation and concession. The Arab Spring and its potential impact on the country pushed the regime to reinvigorate sectarian discourse against the Shia in order to renew the loyalty of the Sunni majority.
The cost of the suppression of the Arab Spring
How many mass movements in search of political rights would have been pronounced failures if success had to be established in just five years?
The quest for women's rights has continued throughout human history and continues today.
Palestinians, Kurds, Tibetans, Kashmiris, and numerous other groups of indigenous peoples have for many decades campaigned and fought for their rights, often with very limited success.
But when it comes to the Arab Spring, those who stand to lose most from the expansion of political rights across the region, are now — not surprisingly — only too eager to pronounce it an expensive failure.
The idea that it might have been better to stay home and stay quiet, will all too easily resonate among the millions of people who have suffered the effects of the suppression of the Arab Spring.
As some of the region's autocratic rulers and their advisers gathered in Dubai this week and soberly measured the "cost of the Arab Spring," they should also — had they been honest — have been celebrating the rise of ISIS.
From Dubai to Tehran and from Riyadh to Cairo, it has been ISIS that has saved the day. The Arab Strategy Forum should have invited Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as their guest of honor.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not promoting any of the conspiracy theories about ISIS being the creation of a foreign government (be that the Saudis, the Turks, the Israelis, or the Americans — which of those being the culprit would depend merely on who the proponent such a theory sees as the worst enemy).
ISIS saved the day through its savagery by convincing nearly everyone else that political stability is worth more than any kind of political freedom.
Much as it will often be repeated that the need to destroy ISIS has never been more urgent, those whose rule is currently being legitimized by ISIS's existence will be quite content for this war to be a valiant fight that sees no end.
And those blinkered by the conviction that the U.S. government is the architect of all the world's afflictions, need to recognize that conflict in the Middle East is now being driven from many engine rooms — in Damascus, Moscow, Tehran, Jerusalem, Ankara, Riyadh, Cairo, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Beirut, Raqqa and elsewhere — in pursuit of incompatible agendas.
Among those costs, the greatest are not measured in dollars — the numbers of casualties and refugees. And these are not costs of the Arab Spring; they are, above all, the cost of the Assad regime's refusal to respect the rights of the Syrian people.
U.S.-led air war on ISIS in Syria has little allied support
The New York Times reports: As the United States prepares to intensify airstrikes against the Islamic State in Syria, the Arab allies who with great fanfare sent warplanes on the initial missions there a year ago have largely vanished from the campaign.
The Obama administration heralded the Arab air forces flying side by side with American fighter jets in the campaign's early days as an important show of solidarity against the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or Daesh. Top commanders like Gen. Lloyd J. Austin III, who oversees operations in Syria and Iraq, still laud the Arab countries' contributions to the fight. But as the United States enters a critical phase of the war in Syria, ordering Special Operations troops to support rebel forces and sending two dozen attack planes to Turkey, the air campaign has evolved into a largely American effort.
Administration officials had sought to avoid the appearance of another American-dominated war, even as most leaders in the Persian Gulf seem more preoccupied with supporting rebels fighting the government of President Bashar al-Assad of Syria. Now, some of those officials note with resignation, the Arab partners have quietly left the United States to run the bulk of the air war in Syria — not the first time Washington has found allies wanting.
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have shifted most of their aircraft to their fight against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. Jordan, reacting to the grisly execution of one of its pilots by the Islamic State, and in a show of solidarity with the Saudis, has also diverted combat flights to Yemen. Jets from Bahrain last struck targets in Syria in February, coalition officials said. Qatar is flying patrols over Syria, but its role has been modest. [Continue reading…]
Extreme heatwaves could push Gulf climate beyond human endurance, study shows
The Guardian reports: The Gulf in the Middle East, the heartland of the global oil industry, will suffer heatwaves beyond the limit of human survival if climate change is unchecked, according to a new scientific study.
The extreme heatwaves will affect Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Doha and coastal cities in Iran as well as posing a deadly threat to millions of Hajj pilgrims in Saudi Arabia, when the religious festival falls in the summer. The study shows the extreme heatwaves, more intense than anything ever experienced on Earth, would kick in after 2070 and that the hottest days of today would by then be a near-daily occurrence.
"Our results expose a specific regional hotspot where climate change, in the absence of significant [carbon cuts], is likely to severely impact human habitability in the future," said Prof Jeremy Pal and Prof Elfatih Eltahir, both at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, writing in the journal Nature Climate Change.
They said the future climate for many locations in the Gulf would be like today's extreme climate in the desert of Northern Afar, on the African side of the Red Sea, where there are no permanent human settlements at all. But the research also showed that cutting greenhouse gas emissions now could avoid this fate. [Continue reading…]
Why are the Gulf states so reluctant to take in refugees?
By Rana Jawad, University of Bath
Europe's reaction to the refugee crisis has hardly been a calm and considered one; with fences erected and border controls reinstated, the continent's governments are struggling to agree on a response.
But at least Europe's governments are acting. In the Middle East, things are rather different. In particular, the Arab Gulf States are catching serious flack for their response to the crisis – or rather, their failure to respond.
One big question is reverberating in the minds of the general public, expert observers and policy-makers; why have the Gulf states, who are among the richest countries in the world, not taken in any Syrian refugees? There's no need to rewrite the commentary that's already out there: many articles have provided useful statistics and background information on the international conventions and treaties the Persian Gulf countries are signed up to, and their failure to honour them.
What all this misses, though, is the general lack of social justice and a social welfare ethos in the Persian Gulf and Middle East in general. This is a complex story about the mindset of a region in disunity and disarray.
The Arab world's wealthiest nations are doing next to nothing for Syria's refugees

Ishaan Tharoor writes: To varying degrees, elements within Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the U.A.E. and Kuwait have invested in the Syrian conflict, playing a conspicuous role in funding and arming a constellation of rebel and Islamist factions fighting the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
None of these countries are signatories of the United Nations' 1951 Refugee Convention, which defines what a refugee is and lays out their rights, as well as the obligations of states to safeguard them. For a Syrian to enter these countries, they would have to apply for a visa, which, in the current circumstances, is rarely granted. According to the BBC, the only Arab countries where a Syrian can travel without a visa are Algeria, Mauritania, Sudan and Yemen — hardly choice or practical destinations.
Like European countries, Saudi Arabia and its neighbors also have fears over new arrivals taking jobs from citizens, and may also invoke concerns about security and terrorism. But the current gulf aid outlay for Syrian refugees, which amounts to collective donations under $1 billion (the United States has given four times that sum), seems short — and is made all the more galling when you consider the vast sums Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. poured into this year's war effort in Yemen, an intervention some consider a strategic blunder.
As Bobby Ghosh, managing editor of the news site Quartz, points out, the gulf states in theory have a far greater ability to deal with large numbers of arrivals than Syria's more immediate and poorer neighbors, Lebanon and Jordan:
The region has the capacity to quickly build housing for the refugees. The giant construction companies that have built the gleaming towers of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh should be contracted to create shelters for the influx. Saudi Arabia has plenty of expertise at managing large numbers of arrivals: It receives an annual surge of millions of Hajj pilgrims to Mecca. There's no reason all this knowhow can't be put to humanitarian use.
No reason other than either indifference or a total lack of political will. [Continue reading…]
Most of the drivers of regional destruction have little to do with Iranian-Saudi rivalry
Rami G Khouri writes: [Regional] destruction is painfully visible every day in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Bahrain, and Yemen, at the very least. This spectacle of multiple fragmenting states is bad enough; it is made even worse by the latest troubling development — it is too early to call it a trend — which is the spectacle of repeated bomb attacks and killings of government officials and security forces in three of the most important regional powers that should be stabilizing forces in the Middle East: Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. Add to this the ongoing war in Yemen, and the erratic battle against "Islamic State" (ISIS) forces in Syria, Iraq and other tiny pockets of ISIS presence around the region, the massive refugee flows and the stresses they cause, and the dangerous sectarian dimensions of some of the confrontations underway, and we end up with a very complex and violent regional picture that cannot possibly be explained primarily as a consequence of Iranian-Saudi rivalries.
A more complete explanation of the battered Arab region today must include accounting for several other mega-tends: the impact of the last twenty-fix years of non-stop American military attacks, threats and sanctions from Libya to Afghanistan; the radicalizing impact of sixty-seven years of non-stop Zionist colonization and militarism against Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians and other Arabs; the hollowing out of Arab economic and governance systems by three generations of military-led, amateurish and corruption-riddled mismanaged governance that deprived citizens of their civic and political rights and pushed them to assert instead the primacy of their sectarian and tribal identities; and, the catalytic force of the 2003 Anglo-American led war on Iraq that opened the door for all these forces and others yet — like lack of water, jobs, and electricity that make normal daily life increasingly difficult — to combine into the current situation of widespread national polarization and violence.
Most of these drivers of the current regional condition have little to do with Iranian-Saudi sensitivities, and much more to do with decades of frail statehood, sustained and often violent Arab authoritarianism, denied citizenship, distorted development, and continuous regional and global assaults. [Continue reading…]
U.S. may raise Arab states to 'major' ally status
Politico: The White House is open to the possibility of declaring all of the Arab states attending a Camp David summit "major non-NATO allies," a designation that makes it easier for the United States to provide financial and military aid, a top U.S. official said Thursday.
The designation stops short of being a mutual defense pact, but a joint statement released later in the day includes a promise from the United States "to use all elements of power to secure our core interests in the Gulf region, and to deter and confront external aggression against our allies and partners."
"I am reaffirming our ironclad commitment to the security of our Gulf partners," Obama told reporters at a news conference at the conclusion of the summit.
Iran these days is a greater focus of Arab ire and disquiet than Israel
From Dubai, Roger Cohen writes: When Amr Moussa, the former secretary general of the Arab League, spoke here of the Arab world's humiliation by three non-Arab states — Iran, Israel and Turkey — and the way they had, through their "hegemony," turned Arabs into a "laughingstock," I asked him what exactly he meant.
His response focused on Iran. This in itself was interesting. Statements from Tehran about Iran calling the shots in several Arab capitals — including Damascus, Baghdad and Sana — had "enraged many of us," he said, leaving Arabs humiliated that any power "would dare say that."
As this remark suggests, Iran these days is a greater focus of Arab ire and disquiet than Israel, a country with which many Arab states have aligned but unsayable interests.
Cut to Camp David and President Obama's attempt to reassure Persian Gulf leaders that the United States can, in Secretary of State John Kerry's words, "do two things at the same time" — that is, conclude a nuclear deal with Shiite Iran and honor its alliances with the Sunni monarchies, whose oil is now of less strategic importance to an America in the midst of an oil boom.
The walk-and-chew-gum American argument is a tough sell because Arab honor and Arab humiliation are in play. That's why King Salman of Saudi Arabia stayed away from Camp David. That's why the Saudis started a bombing campaign in Yemen: to stop the Houthis, portrayed in Riyadh as pure Iranian proxies. That's why much of what you hear these days in Dubai (where many Iranians live and trade) is talk of Obama's betrayal of the Arabs through infatuation with Iran. [Continue reading…]
Obama is on a quest to rebalance American power in the Middle East
Reza Marashi writes: As President Obama hosts leaders from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, and the UAE on May 13 and 14, he will surely hear a push from them for a White House plan to contain Iran. However, recent candid remarks from Admiral Mike Mullen should cause America to think twice. Going against conventional wisdom in Washington, the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said: "[A nuclear deal] would also more fairly rebalance American influence. We need to re-examine all of the relationships we enjoy in the region, relationships primarily with Sunni-dominated nations. Détente with Iran might better balance our efforts across the sectarian divide."
Let that sink in. The highest-ranking officer in the United States Armed Forces from 2007 to 2011 is essentially saying that America's long-standing allies in the Middle East are trying to lock it into permanent confrontation with Iran–and into a permanent alliance with countries whose interests and values are increasingly opposed to its own. After the initial shock from Admiral Mullen's intellectual honesty subsides, one quickly realizes that he is right: Why shouldn't the U.S. have more options at its disposal to achieve its interests and reduce the threats it faces? For example, after 15 Saudi hijackers attacked the U.S. on September 11th, 2001, American decision-makers did not have the option of being firm with Saudi Arabia. Instead, they were trapped in an alliance precisely because there was no regional alternative that could be leveraged to hold the Saudis accountable. [Continue reading…]
Obama and the Gulf states
Brian Whitaker writes: This week's meeting at Camp David between President Obama and leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council is still being described as a "summit", though it has already slithered some way down from the mountain top. The Sultan of Oman and the president of the UAE are both too ill to attend and will be sending representatives instead. The kings of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia have pulled out too, in a move that is seen as a snub to President Obama. That leaves only Kuwait and Qatar to be represented by their heads of state.
In the US, even before it happens, the meeting has opened up a space for anti-Obama stirring from the political right, especially among opponents of the proposed nuclear deal with Iran. For the purposes of bad-mouthing Obama, the Gulf's bumbling monarchs are presented as good guys – "determined to take the initiative" in "confronting Iran's regional expansion" (to quote a briefing paper from the Orient Advisory Group) – against a US president with "a regional policy that no one can define or even understand".
So the big question – indeed, the only question as far as some commentators are concerned – is what the US can do to reassure the Gulf's plutocrats that it is still committed to their security.
The irony is that it ought to be the other way round. Given the spread of jihadist activity in the region and beyond, Obama should (but probably won't) be asking the emirs and their stand-ins for more evidence of a commitment to other countries' security. It's all very well to thank them for resisting ISIS and supporting counterterrorism efforts at an international level by sharing intelligence, but in the current situation that is simply not enough. It's time to start reversing the damage they have caused in the minds of many Muslims.
They should stop promoting sectarian politics and consider how their actions legitimise religious intolerance: the laws that prescribe punishment for apostasy, blasphemy and other kinds of nonconformity, the policies that treat the followers of different faiths (and even different branches of Islam) as inferior beings – in fact, anything that leads people to think it's right to impose religion by force. Obama should tell them that until they take such a stand, no matter how many bombs they drop, there is virtually no hope of putting an end to jihadist violence.
But don't hold your breath. It's far more likely the Americans will send them home with assurances about Iran and arms deals in their pockets. [Continue reading…]
Why Yemen's political transition failed
Farea Al-Muslimi writes: For three years, Yemen has been touted as a successful model of international intervention to contain the crisis triggered by the Arab Spring—at least according to the United Nations, various UN Security Council ambassadors, and, most importantly, the UN special adviser on Yemen, Jamal Benomar, who today announced his resignation after four years in the job.
But the deteriorating situation of the country, particularly after President Abd-Rabu Mansour Hadi was ousted by the Zaidi Shia Islamist rebels known as the Houthis in mid-January 2015, has put an end to this rhetoric. And since March 25, when a Saudi-led coalition of Arab and other states launched a military intervention, the situation has worsened considerably.
When Jamal Benomar assumed his position as special envoy in April 2011, Yemen's then-president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, knew that he could not hold out for long against the many opposition currents that had converged to overthrow him. This simplified the task of the UN envoy, who — along with Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states — brokered the implementation of the so-called Gulf Initiative, according to which Saleh would resign and hand power to Hadi, his vice president, in a managed transition. After months of negotiations and despite the intensification of violence, Hadi was finally able to accede to the presidency in February 2012 with considerable international and Yemeni support as part of a transitional process that was not to exceed two years. [Continue reading…]
Whose boots on Yemen's ground?
Abubakr al-Shamahi writes: The Saudi-led airstrikes on rebel targets in Yemen are showcasing Riyadh's military might. The positions and bases of the Houthis, as well as army units controlled by former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, are being pummelled.
But what next? Are air strikes enough on their own? History says otherwise. Unless the push is to merely get concessions from the Houthis and Saleh in any negotiations, which now appears unlikely, the Saudi-led coalition will need forces on the ground to fight.
The obvious choice would be the Yemeni military. Yet this prospect appears to be diminishing by the day. The failure to restructure the military, the immunity given to Saleh for crimes committed during 2011, and even the Saudi decision to get Saleh back into the country, meant that come September 2014, Saleh was able to still maintain enough loyalty in the military to order them to largely step down as the Houthis took Sanaa.
Those units, which include some of the most elite in the army, now continue to advance across the country with the Houthis following closely behind. In response to this, the coalition bombing campaign has targeted the Saleh-controlled military, and military bases up and down Yemen are being destroyed. The consequence? The Yemeni military is being decimated and will not be able to secure such a highly weaponised country should these strikes not end soon. [Continue reading…]

New Study Shows Classroom Design Contributes To College Enrollment Decisions
Students say classrooms are more important than dining halls and fitness facilities, despite trends in university spending.
New Study Shows Classroom Design Contributes To College Enrollment Decisions
Classrooms have a larger influence over prospective students' enrollment decisions than university provided amenities such as dining and fitness facilities, according to a new study commissioned by Steelcase Education Solutions. While campus admissions materials emphasize new athletic facilities and elaborate dining halls, this study shows that these are not the most important campus assets to prospects:
- More than half (51%) of students say classrooms are the most important campus environment that influenced their decision to attend their current school. Less than a quarter of those surveyed said dining facilities (24%) or athletic facilities (23%).
- This research also shows that only 32% of students say they are engaged in class half the time however, active discussions keep them more engaged and focused.
- Active discussions and group work not only keep students engaged but 72% of students say it impacts their ability to learn and helps them feel like part of a community.
There have been numerous reports on the large investments made by institutions in recent years on luxury amenities in an effort to attract prospective students. However, while college life is largely a social experience, learning is also something that needs to facilitate social interactions. This study shows that it is the potential of in-the-classroom engagement with peers and faculty that is most important to students during the college search process. "While these findings may surprise some, students spend most of their time at school in the classroom, so providing flexible and inspiring learning environments is an investment worth making," said Mark Walters, Director of Product Management of Steelcase Education Solutions. The survey was commissioned by Steelcase Education Solutions and conducted by Widmeyer Communications in February 2014. It was a national online survey of 600 U.S. college students at both four-year and two-year institutions.

Hundreds jailed by 'fake' bomb detectors in Thai south – AFP, September 13, 2012
…But the powerful military has refused to concede it was duped over its rumoured $20 million acquisition, or apologise to those held in what rights groups say is a flagrant miscarriage of justice.
Hassan said he was threatened and interrogated in detention and forced to point out friends from a school photograph.
Among them was Ayub who said he was arrested with no further evidence and held for two years before he was freed without a conviction or an apology….

Your post says you have an iPhone 4. Therefore, you cannot use cellular data for FaceTime, period. This is from the iPhone User Manual:
With iPhone 4 or later, you can make a video call to someone with a Mac or other iOS device that supports FaceTime. The FaceTime camera lets you talk face-to-face; switch to the iSight camera on the back to share what you see around you.
Note: On iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4, you need a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet. On iPhone 4S or later, you can also make FaceTime calls over a cellular data connection. Cellular data charges may apply. To turn off FaceTime using cellular data, go to Settings > General > Cellular.

Yep, that Israeli aggression is over! Israel will cower to the will of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, because that's all they know how to do, cower to their enemies. Good thing they don't have any backbone to do anything about people wanting to destroy them, Iran might as well just walk on in now.

You might want to take some time of reflection and read these famous words of Jesus.
He said:
3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

SuperTalent Announces a new USB 3.0 Flash Drive
USB3.0 Performance at a USB 2.0 Price
San Jose, California - March 21, 2011 - Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of Flash storage solutions and DRAM memory modules, today announced a new USB 3.0 flash drive, the USB 3.0 Express DUO 2-CH.

"Here's a USB 3.0 drive that performs, yet stays on budget. There's simply really no reason to buy a USB 2.0 flash drive anymore" CH Lee COO of SuperTalent.

SmartScore 99
SmartScore 86
SmartScore 92
Here's the question you clicked on:
how many different string can be made from the word PEPPERCORN when all letters are used and such strings do not contain the substring CON?
you can rearrange PEPPERCORN in 10! ways. then, we can consider CON as one letter, lets say Z , so instead of PEPPERCORN, we'll have PEPPERRZ, we can rearrange this in 8! ways. so I think the answer is 10!-8!
Almost right, but not quite. See, peppercorn has 10 letters in it, so it is 10!, however you have to divide out all the ways in which you can rearrange the letters that are being reused, such as P, E, and R. So P appears 3 times, E twice, and R twice so \[\frac{ 10! }{ 3!*2!*2! }\] That tells us how many different arrangements you can have, but now we need to get rid of all the occurrences of "CON". Simply enough, we can just look at the ten letter word and see by counting (or more complicated factorial work) that you can put CON in only 8 possible places, so just subtract 8 from the factorial answer above: \[\frac{ 10! }{ 3!*2!*2! }-8\] I believe that's the right answer, but I'm human too!
Wait, subtracting 8 was ridiculous lol. It too is a factorial that must be calculated similarly I don't know what I was thinking.
the possibles for word "PEPPERRZ" is 8!/(3!*2!*2!), @Kainui
Wait, that's not the final answer though.
So that tells you all the occurrences that will contain CON in it, while the other calculation I did will tell how many total words you can make. Seems we can just subtract the two and get the final answer: \[\frac{ 10! }{ 3!*2!*2! }-\frac{ 8! }{ 3!*2!*2! }\]
yeah, i meant the finally it will be : 10!/(3!*2!*2!) - 8!/(3!*2!*2!)

Only you can prevent vessel fires
From U.S. Coast Guard reports.
More than 20 percent of fishing boats lost from 1992 to 2007 traced the cause to a fire, making fire the second leading cause for sinking. More than 70 percent of those fires started in the engine room or machinery spaces (which is, of course, a great place to find fuel and ignition sources).
Most fires can be prevented by checking for faulty wiring and other electrical hazards; ensuring fuel lines and connections are in good shape and not leaking, and hot surfaces are insulated properly; stowing combustible materials; and keeping spaces clean and free of debris. In other words, good housekeeping.
During a mid-February bottom-fishing trip, a 43-foot fiberglass boat was anchored off the coast of Charleston, S.C. During the night, the anchor dragged and the boat was hit by a rogue wave, which rocked the batteries out of its box and shorted out the electrical power.
Without a working backup, the skipper activated the EPIRB to get assistance from the Coast Guard. A rescue helicopter was unable to help the crew regain power, so they were lifted ashore, leaving the boat at anchor unattended. The next day, only a life raft was found in the area. It was suspected that the shorted-out electrical equipment started a fire and the vessel sank without an operating bilge pump.
A few days later, a 42-foot fiberglass trawler-longliner was steaming to a yard in the Hampton Roads, Va., area for bottom cleaning and painting. It had not been on the water for a few months and was up for sale.
Prior to the trip, the operator checked the engine and equipment. All seemed to be in order other than one of the alternators making a little noise. Some distance into the trip, the skipper noticed the amp meter was jumping erratically, then the autopilot suddenly turned to starboard.
When the skipper opened the engine room hatch to investigate, he saw flames near the battery box. Billows of black smoke erupted, so he discharged one fire extinguisher through the engine room hatch and one through a ventilation opening, but neither had any effect on the fire. The skipper was unable to reach the fuel shutoffs or the engine shutdown.
Quickly realizing the fire was out of control, he launched the life raft and entered it without the EPIRB or a PFD. He called his brother on a cell phone and was soon picked up. Fire and rescue boats attempted to put out the fire, but the boat was flooded and sank. It was suspected that the wiring around the alternators or the batteries started the fire.
Both vessels were total losses, but the crews knew when to abandon ship, so there were no injuries or fatalities.
Lessons learned
In the first incident, the batteries were jarred loose during heavy weather because they were not secured in their box. When the batteries shorted, they very likely caused some material in the area to begin smoldering, but the fire did not develop until after the vessel was abandoned.
In the second incident, it is believed the fire started around the battery box. The skipper may have missed an opportunity to discover a hazardous condition when he ignored the noisy alternator.
Making safety decisions in a timely manner gave both captains the opportunity to call for help before it was too late. In the first instance, the skipper activated the EPIRB; the second safely launched a life raft.
Conducting a safety and equipment inspection of your vessel before getting underway can be its own form of fire insurance. Also, when checking equipment and systems, inspect further and make repairs if something seems amiss or is making unusual noises. Make sure wiring and hot surfaces are properly insulated, fuel lines are intact, valves and cut-off/shut-down switches are accessible, and alarms and pumps are functioning properly. Check that everything is stowed properly in case of heavy weather.
The Coast Guard can assist with a Dockside Safety Examination to identify equipment deficiencies or problem areas you may have overlooked. Contact your local unit for more information, or to schedule a free, no-fault examination. Visit www.fishsafe.info.

So delish! I left it the coconut cream because I don't like coconut and it was so good! I just used thinly sliced boneless chops and marinated them. I made the sauce and garnished with cilantro and green onion.
This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. We loved it. I didn't measure out the ingredients exactly, and I didn't have any fish sauce so used a bit more soy sauce and a little black bean sauce. The dipping sauce was an awesome little extra.
Excellent recipe! I used boneless pork chops in mine and cut them into kebab-like chunks. You're right, it isn't spicy at all, but the faint flavor of coconut on the grilled meat made my mouth water. The dipping sauce was good- not too tart. Tasted a lot like nuoc cham. Thanks for posting!

The Nelson father of one of the three airmen killed in the Anzac Day 2010 helicopter crash is astounded by the "bizarre" offer of a $70,000 settlement, but says he still wants the matter investigated by an outside party.
Corporal Ben Carson, 25, died alongside Flying Officer Dan Gregory, 28, and Flight Lieutenant Hayden Madsen, 33, when their 3 Squadron Iroquois helicopter crashed in thick cloud at Pukerua Bay, north of Wellington, about 6am on April 25, 2010. Sergeant Stevin Creeggan was seriously injured.
Corporal Carson's father, Andrew Carson, said this morning that he had received a letter from Chief of Defence Lieutenant General Rhys Jones on Monday, offering the sum as full and final compensation for pain and suffering. The offer was not an attempt to put a financial value on Corporal Carson's life.
Mr Carson said he did not understand why such an offer was now being made.
"I don't know if the other two families had asked them for money, we certainly never mentioned money with them whatsoever.
"After the way we have been treated, I found it quite astounding."
The Carsons have complained of ill-treatment by the Defence Force since the crash, after they had been excluded from Defence Force meetings and emails.
Mr Carson said they had been excluded from a briefing for families as recently as last week.
"The other families say they have been treated very well by the air force. The air force are still treating us as badly as they were."
He understood if the settlement was agreed to, no civil suit could be taken against the air force.
He would be seeking legal advice.
The letter also said the settlement would be raised in any criminal prosecution of the Defence Force.
Mr Carson said Mr Creeggan would next week be seeking permission to criminally prosecute the Defence Force.
"To me, I seriously wonder about the motive. You're talking a week before Stevin's case, they obviously want people to sign it and say, 'right, no matter what happens you can't take them to court over it'.
"For us, we just want it to be investigated."
In April the lead pilot on the day of the crash, Flight Lieutenant Daniel John Pezaro, was acquitted of negligently failing to abort the transit flight when the weather deteriorated and fell below authorised flying levels. Mr Carson then said the process was "laughable and criminal".
A January review by Wellington barrister Matthew McClelland recommended 26 changes to Defence Force protocol in the wake of the tragedy.
They included appointing staff to be dedicated points of contact for family after personnel are killed in action and making sure the wills of all Defence Force staff are up to date.

Awful gym. Air conditioning in studio and gym has not been working for over a month. The Club Managers have said it will cost them too much to fix! People are close to passing out due to the heat.
Equipment is out of date. Lots of equipment doesn't work. The club Manager didn't even know how to work the cross trainers!!
Complaints to Managers have been ignored. Complaints to head office ignored.
Please spend your money elsewhere and avoid this chain of gym - I wish I had!
