This handy volume of 600 pages forms the second number of the well-known Practical Medicine Series for the current year. A brief introduction calls attention to the topics of chief importance treated in the succeeding pages. In this the editor remarks that surgical technic is tending to a uniform standard so that operative methods are practically the same the world over. The space devoted to technic in the present work adds greatly to its value to the general practitioner, for whom the book is especially intended. This practical value of the book is much enhanced by the numerous and excellent illustrations.

Actress Radikaa Sarathkumar, known for her memorable performances in Telugu films such as "Swati Mutyam" and "Swati Kiranam", is returning to the industry after a decade with romantic-drama "Undile Manchi Kaalam Mundu Munduna" (UMKMM).
Radikaa's last Telugu outing was Ram Gopal Varma-directed "Prema Katha" (1999), which earned her the Nandi Award, the highest honour in Telugu cinema, for best supporting actress.
"We were on the lookout for a senior actress to essay an important role in the film. We did have a few names in mind, but finally zeroed in on her. She is a wonderful actress with a lot of experience and I'm confident she will do justice to her part," the film's director Arun Dasyam told IANS.
The film features Sudhakar of "Life is Beautiful" fame in the title role, while the hunt for the leading lady is underway.
Also starring veteran actress Purnima, UMKMM is expected to go on floors soon.
Radikaa, who has starred in over 50 films over the years, is currently keeps her busy with acting work on television. She also produces Tamil films such as "Kannamoochi Yenada" and "Chennaiyil Oru Naal".

O N 19 November, 1825, Emperor Alexander died at Taganrog, a town in Southern Russia. The news only reached the capital on 27 November, and as the Czar had been childless, the troops and the highest dignitaries of the Church and State immediately swore allegiance to Constantine, the eldest of his three brothers.
As a matter of fact, Constantine, who at the time was living in Warsaw, had previously renounced his claim to the throne in favour of the Grand Duke Nicholas, but the rescript which legalized this deviation from the order of succession had remained secret. Nicholas, though not unaware of the arrangement, acknowledged his brother as Emperor and took the oath of allegiance to him. On his part, Constantine failed to act promptly and unequivocally. He refused to make a formal announcement of his abdication or to come to the capital. This, coupled with delay due to slow communications, resulted in uncertainty and confusion. For over three weeks the country was 'in the strange predicament,' as the LondonTimes put it, 'of having two selfdenying Emperors, and no active ruler.' Not until 12 December was the situation clarified, and Nicholas felt free to signify his acceptance of the throne.
It will be recalled that from the first the plotters had looked forward to the Czar's death as the signal for revolt. Those at the helm of the Northern Society did not learn of Alexander's illness until the day before his demise became known in the capital, so that the news of his passing took them completely by surprise. At all events, Constantine's accession went off without any untoward incident. The Society was ready to suspend its activities. But when its leaders, who had informants in high places, became aware that the wrong Grand Duke had been proclaimed Emperor, and that the dynastic imbroglio had brought about a virtual interregnum, they could not help perceiving

No sound from speaker for 'most' apps like Music, Pandora, Games
My iPhone 4 won't output sound from the speaker for 'most' apps like the Music (formerly iPod app) app, Pandora, YouTube to name a few. Also keyclicks and lock sounds don't come out of the speaker.
The mute switch isn't on, I've switched it back and forth. I've tried plugging/un-plugging headphones into the headphone jack numerous times to see if some debris are in there. Nothing. I've tried cleaning the headphone jack with a cut q-tip and a little bit of electronics cleaner, still nothing though the first spin of the q-tip looked pretty dirty since I've never cleaned it before (iPhone about 1 year old).
The iPhone 4 WILL play via headset, bluetooth, dock connector and via the earpiece for phone calls.
And the weirdest part is that the iPhone 4 speaker WILL playback normally through the speaker when running Voice Memos, Skype or Talkatone apps. And if I move the ringer slider in Sounds prefs it works normally and produces the different levels of ringtones.
The iPhone 4 WILL also produce keyclicks if I remote-lock the phone via iCloud and press the passcode which has the keyclick sounds.
Alerts through the speaker don't work for SMS and TextFree. Keyclicks don't normally work via TextFree but for some reason it worked normally, even got an SMS alert through the speaker but after going to Music.app volume control disappeared again.
Weird workaround
If I have both Skype and Apple music app going, make a Skype call, put it into speakerphone mode (sounds comes out of the speaker), open the App Dock, switch to Apple Music app and hit play the volume control remains up and works normally (though the audio is playing over the Skype call's audio).
Runnning an iPhone 4/32GB iOS 5.0.1 on an unbroken iPhone. Already did full restores 3x, one of those times I remote-wiped the phone and restored.
Ran it without loading backup after yet another restore (actually two restores) and no sounds from the device which was plain without loading any extra apps onto it. No keyclicks. Once after a restore it made the 'hey I'm plugged into power' chirp but that was it. Of course after full restore from backup sound still has the weird problem as above.
Yes, Phone app works via speakerphone, I can control the volume and like Skype once this audio channel is open Music app can play through the speaker but as soon as the phone call hangs up the audio from the speaker for Music app is gone just like my test with Skype.
Yeah, seems like a programming call is routing audio in different ways in the iPhone 4. The app Recorder does not play via the speaker but maybe it uses the music programming call to go through the speaker instead of the voice one.
BTW the phone is out of warranty as it was bought a year and a few months ago.
Could this really be a bad headphone jack causing all of this?
Is this a good question?
Did you make sure to test it before you restored to the backup of the iPhone?
Does the speaker phone work when using the phone app? What i find interesting is that all the working apps are meant for dealing with voice. Maybe there is two separate audio encoding chips for the iPhone and the one meant for voice is working while the one meant to play music is broken? Will take a look around google to see if can find any information that might support this.

Hey I have a schwinn le tour fixie conversion that is pretty much all stock parts and I want to upgrade some parts. So what parts are the most important to upgrade for under 150$ I would probaly buy the parts on eBay.
Hey I have a schwinn le tour fixie conversion that is pretty much all stock parts and I want to upgrade some parts. So what parts are the most important to upgrade for under 150$ I would probaly buy the parts on eBay.
skinny jeans.
Your frame.
A session with a bike fitter.
2008 Masi Speciale Fixed
Dual ARROSPOKEZ
What is your current rear wheel?
Why that's easy.
Take a look at your bike. Whatever looks ugliest to you, try to find one that's not quite so ugly. Handlebar/stem/bar tape is a good bet because it's big enough that everybody immediately notices.
Stop mocking him...
Jaco is right, a bike fitting session is vital for a comfortable ride and good performance but it could be pricey.
Don't buy into all those advertising gimmicks, replace parts when they are worn.
Salmon Kool-Stops and some carbon fiber headset spacers is all anyone really needs.
keg rack!
vans shoes, with checkerboard pattern, preferably held together with duck tape. And a pink bandana
neck tats and super deep v shirts! lol
"i like my shirts how i like my rims"
Depends on what you're trying to do. If you're trying to look pretty then get some ugly colored bits and have at it. Looking hip is not my thing. I built my bike to go fast on a budget. Everything below is assuming you're already comfortable on your bike. If you're not comfortable then you need to address your cockpit and saddle first. I prefer road drops with double brake levers (modern style), gives you a many hand positions but bullhorns are good as well. My favorite saddle is the Sette Nyx, an amazing lightweight (and inexpensive) saddle but very narrow.
Wheels may run more than $150 for good quality depending on what you want but will make the biggest most noticable difference depending on what you have now. I run these on my fixed (they were stock and I see no reason to replace them). They're pretty good. Not the best but they're strong enough for my Clyde frame and roll really well. If the bearing ever wear out, for less then $20, you can put ceramic Phil Wood cartridge bearings in and they'll roll as well as wheelsets that cost twice as much.
Next, tires. If you're skidding - well their are lots of threads on that - have fun searching. Otherwise I'd tell you to expect to spend $30-$50 per tire on the best tires you can find. I'm actually quite happy with the 23mm Hutchinson Fusion 2 Ultras that I got super cheap on Bonk Town. They're really fast rollers when aired up but wow they drag like wet cement if they're low on air. Which ones are right for you will depend on where and how you ride.
If you have decent wheels, the next place I'd look is cranks and/or bottom bracket. I'm running the stock FSA cranks from my bike. They're good enough but they're on my list of things to replace. My bottom bracket definitely needs to go. My fixed is the only bike I don't have outbound bearings on. My opinion is that outbound bearings are massively superior. But it's just an opinion and there are people that hate them. I think they look better and perform better. I'm thinking about these but I'll probably just replace the bottom bracket and keep my current cranks since they're plenty stiff and dropping a bunch of money into something that isn't broken would be antithetical to what I'm trying to accomplish with this bike.

"dude. wait, what?"
Food for thought: if you aren't dead by 2050, you and your entire family will be within a few years from starvation. Now that is a cruel gift to leave for your offspring. ;)
Knog lights, spoke cards, and stickers. Lots of stickers.
A fitting is a good point, cause most of you riding conversions just look uncomfortable.
But.. tires, lock, lights depending where/when/how you ride.
in all seriousness, it might be helpful if you post a picture of your bike. that way we can see what is on it and what might be beneficial to replace.
yeah because what really matters is our opinion of your ride... wait what?
that being said, chances are many of the parts on your bike are not stock as it is a conversion. when bikes are converted the rear wheel is typically changed. this will typically require changing the front wheel as well as the two will no longer be the same size (700c vs. 26"). further, many times the cranks are changed as they are not capable of giving a straight chainline. as opposed to a picture, are you capable of giving us a complete rundown of your components? if so, please do and also include the components condition. if not, then i guess we will have to go with detailed pictures and have to try to go from there....

Thanks a ton guys I think I'm going to get a new wheelset and possibly a new crank set
that's going to run u way over the earlier mentioned budget of 150$.......not saying that it's not a good idea, those are 2 of the 3 first thing to upgrade. the other that i didnt see anyone mention would be your saddle. it might be comfortable though so what do i know....
What doesn't work right?
If I had $150 burning a hole in my pocket, I'd probably spend it on premium flat-resistant tires; but not if I planned on skidding.
Alternatively, a Brooks saddle has both eye appeal and function.
I like bullhorn handlebars, and when riding with a brake, I like a bar end brake lever.
If you shop carefully, your $150 can get you a set of good flat-resistant tires, a bullhorn handlebar, and a bar end brake lever.

Outside Terri Schiavo's hospice in Florida, the mood was grim for those who hoped someway, somehow, someone would step in and force the reinsertion of the woman's feeding tube, but it didn't happen.
The Supreme Court rejected the parents' appeal, without explanation, in a one-page order, at least the fifth time it has declined to get involved in the case.
The attorney for her husband, Michael Schiavo, says it's what Terri would have wanted.
George Felos, Michael Schiavo's attorney, says, "We are very grateful for the court's ruling and we believe that effectively ends the litigation in this case."
Here in Florida, Gov. Jeb Bush lost a last minute bid to take state custody of Schiavo.
George Felos says, "I hope her parents don't keep pursuing fruitless legal options; their time should be spent in reflection."
In addition to court appeals, her parents have spent days making public appeals for their daughter's life.
Mary Schindler, Terri's mother, says, "Please, someone out there, stop this cruelty. Stop this insanity."
Schiavo, who is severely brain damaged, has been without food or water since Friday, when her feeding tube was pulled. Without it, she may have just days to live.
Randall Terry with Operation Rescue, and an advocate for Terri Schiavo's parents, says, "I think we need to plead for Terry's life."
But there may be little more her parents can do.

Aside from his ridiculous comment on Roger Federer yesterday, Sam Querrey and his intriguing non-dom hand are having a great ride at the Monte Carlo Masters. Who wudda thunk it?!
Sam's dismissal of former French Open champ Carlos Moya in the first round was enough of a shocker, but today the 6' 5" American blasted perennial head-case Richard Gasquet 2-6, 6-4, 6-3. He'll have a monster task, though, in the quarterfinals: Novak Djokovic.
But does this match say more about Sam's abilities on clay and the growth of his game or Richard's eminent tag as a choker? I'm not sure, but one thing is clear: Richard's Davis Cup debacle has legs.

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
"It is dangerous to be concerned with what others think of you." (Proverbs 29:25a GNT)
We waste a lot of time and energy trying to figure out what other people want us to be and then trying to become like that, rather than just being what God made us to be.
That's dangerous, because when you're worried about what other people think all the time, you cave in to criticism. You don't always do the right thing. You do what everybody wants you to do. And you probably miss God's best for your life because you can't stop and think about what God wants you to do.
Fact #1: You cannot please everybody. Even God can't please everybody. One person prays for it to rain; another prays for it to be sunny. Who is God going to answer? Only a fool would try to do what even God can't do.
Fact #2: It's not necessary to please everybody. There is a myth that says you must be loved and approved by everybody in order to be happy. That's just not true. You don't have to please everybody in order to be happy in life.
Fact #3: Rejection will not ruin your life. It hurts, sure. It's not fun. It's uncomfortable. But rejection will not ruin your life unless you let it.
Quit trying to please everybody. Remember that nobody can make you feel inferior unless you give him or her permission to. "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31 NIV) If God likes you, who cares that everybody doesn't approve of everything you do?
Nothing you ever do will make God love you less. Nothing you ever do will make God love you more. He loves you completely right now, just the way you are.
Talk About It
Who in your life have you been overly concerned with pleasing?
How has that concern kept you from being what God intended you to be?

When flying home from Ecuador (2013) I flew with KLM from Quito. The plane stopped for some time in Guayaquil before continuing to Europe.

Guayaquil Restaurants
Well Priced Great Food
We travel to Guayaquil about every year to visit family. This place started out about 10 years ago with a habachi on the street and a small place to sit down inside. Today it's a great Parrillada in a revitalized neighborhood next to Urdesa. The prices are reasonable, the portions are good, everything is clean and frequented by the locals. If your...more
Typical local food
Most of the tourists which are visiting Guayaquil want to eat typical dishes from the country they are visiting. One of the best places to do this is the restaurant "Lo nuestro". The restaurant offers a huge menu of typical, local food. The restaurant is ubicated at the Urdesa-District at the north of Guayaquil. Nearly every cab driver know it. If...more
Dinner at the Grand Hotel
There are two places to eat in the hotel, the smart 1822 Restaurant and the more casual La Pepa de Oro coffee shop. We had decided to eat in the former but when we went to check it out it was deserted so we opted for the friendly buzz in the coffee shop. We had expected that this might have a limited dinner-time menu but in fact there was plenty to...more
Guayaquil Nightlife
Las Penas at Night
At night, the Las Penas district, a hill at the north end of the malecon, becomes a hip restaurant and bar district that is fun and safe.Most of the cafes have live music, and you can just walk up and down the 444 steps of the hill, hopping from bar to bar.These places are cheap, too! 80 cents for a beer is not uncommon!!

Once you arrive at Guayaquil there are a lot of opportunities to move around not only in Guayaquil. At 300 of the airport you will find the bus terminal, where you will have connections to all other cities of Ecuador. Normally these buses are safe, but to minimize risks I always recommend to travel by day and choose direct buses. This means that...more
By car to Guayaquil
As I said in my introduction, we came to Guayaquil by car after a last minute change of plans. And a good change it was! How much better to be driven through the countryside than fly over it! And what wonderful countryside ...A striking feature of the road from Cuenca to Guayaquil is the dramatic change in height along a relatively short stretch of...more
A modern airport
We left Guayaquil by air to Baltra in the Galápagos Islands. The airport is only four miles from the city centre and as it was a Sunday traffic was light and we were there very quickly. The airport terminal is very new (the newest in the country, at least until Quito's new airport is finally finished, in theory later in 2013). It was opened in 2006...more
Guayaquil Shopping
Bahia: Eccletic Market
Bahia is a huge indoor and outdoor market located across the street on the south end of Malecon. You can find everything there from jewellery to local cuisine, pirated movies to stilettos. This is not the safest place in Guayaquil but it is an interesting venture and you will find friendly merchants and pickpockets alike. This is not the place to find Ecuadorian artisan creations but you can find almost anything else your heart desires within the maze of stands and shops. Don't bring anything of value into the market, cameras or large sums of money, keep your eyes open and enjoy.

You're walking along minding your own business in Istanbul. Next thing a chap hurries past you and drops a brush. He's carrying shoeshine gear so you figure on doing the poor guy a good turn. PLEASE DO NO SUCH THING!!! KEEP GOING AND KEEP ON MINDING YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!! Because when you stop and return his brush he'll be soooo grateful he'll insist on giving you a FREE shoeshine. Halfway through it he'll start insisting on money (at a wildly exhorbitant price) and you won't feel too good about refusing him because by then some of his mates will have appeared around you.

Port and River
Visiting Guayaquil is difficult because the river leading to the port is very long and winding. Most cruise ships do not bother to take the time to get there.

This "sexist" term is being thrown around a lot these days, isn't it? But is it accurate?
Well, I guess that depends on how Palin feels about it.
First, here's Campbell Brown's rant on Palin's press shyness…
Hey, who knows…maybe Palin doesn't want to talk to the press, right? Maybe she wants to be cloistered in her own special little political cocoon, only to emerge for the occasional one-on-one interview, some rallies, the Veep debate and the inauguration. Because if that's the case, then McCain's not being sexist, he's just doing what she's asking.
If, on the other hand, Palin is saying "Hey, I want to get out there and talk to the press," and McCain's handlers aren't letting here…well, Brown may have a point. And if that's not sexist, it's at least extremely strange. After all Geraldine Ferraro gave a press conference less than 24 hours after she was announced as the Veep pick. So why not Palin?
Moving on…

Pros: I have used Okidata dot matrix products for over 15 years. The 320 is built to last. Some units lasted over 15 years. Affordable ribbons and low desktop profile make this printer a great purchase.
Cons: Retailers are aware of this products quality and longevity. This explains the price increases. One more price increase and I may need to find a cheaper solution.READ FULL REVIEW

For more than 60 years, audiences have cracked up at the physical comedy of Lucille Ball and her cohorts on "I Love Lucy."
They watched as Lucy and Ricky got into hilariously relatable marital spats, and Lucy and Ethel packaged candy on an assembly line with side-splitting results. Each airing of the show was an appointment that wasn't to be missed.
The show has now been relegated to reruns and video collections.
But even the youngest Lucy lover will have the chance to experience the show's special blend of chemistry and comedy in "I Love Lucy: Live on Stage." Audiences get the experience of sitting in for two actual "Lucy" episodes, reliving the mad-cap antics of Lucy, Ricky, Ethel and Fred as they break into song, crack jokes on each other, and dance across the stage.
"It's funny, we find that our audiences are generally children and grandparents. These are people who loved the show when it ran, and who have shared with younger people close to them. It really spans the generations," said Joanna Daniels, who portrays Ethel in the show.
"I Love Lucy: Live on Stage" will run for eight shows Tuesday through Feb. 16 at the Murat Theatre at Old National Centre in Indianapolis.
After premiering in Los Angeles, and enjoying a nine-week run in Chicago, the show has taken to the road. Stops in Atlantic City, N.J., and Nashville, Tenn., have led to Indianapolis.
The show is built as if the audience is attending the shooting of a pair of "I Love Lucy" episodes.
They'll be seated in front of a soundstage, and watch as the actors move from Lucy and Ricky's apartment to the Tropicana Nightclub.
They'll get to hear some of their favorite jokes, given a new spin through the cast tasked with recreating such classic television.
There will be '50s-era live action commercials for products such as Brylcreem and Alka-Seltzer, and intermission entertainment from the Crystaltones Singers doing do-wop style classics.
The show will have that comforting nostalgic feel that long-time Lucy fans will love, Daniels said. But seeing it live, with a cast of actors doing the original material, will give a fresh spin.
"It's a fine balance of having the very familiar parts of these characters and bringing in things that aren't known to our audiences," Daniels said.

TV loves screening stories. They love big scanners. And they love to have their reporters wear hospital gowns and get down and get scanned. The trifecta of TV health news stories.
A few weeks ago, KOVR-TV in Sacramento reported on a local scanning center's promotion of whole body CT scans "to catch disease before you have symptoms."
While the story did talk about radiation risks and did include one skeptic who said such scanning was "pointless and could lead to more unnecessary testing," it did fall into the trap of allowing the reporter to get screened. Why do they do that? Why should any of us relate to her story – which may not be and probably isn't anything like our own?
But they also ended the segment with the scanning center's name and phone number on the screen for a full 30 seconds. Great free advertising!
The 5 pm story only teased us that the results of the reporter's scan would be on the 10 pm news. I couldn't find that followup anywhere on the station website.
We Welcome Comments. But please note: We will delete comments that include personal attacks, unfounded allegations, unverified facts, product pitches, profanity or any from anyone who doesn't list what appears to be an actual email address. We will also end any thread of repetitive comments. We don't give medical advice so we won't respond to questions asking for it. Please see more on our comments policy.
Good post.
You know, I think the reason why they have reporters do these stunts (if that's the correct word)
is to 1: have something to report about (keep the news interesting)
2: Have someone out there believe that "nothing happened to her, so maybe it's safe?" DESPITE the radiation risks.
Some have to see it to believe it I guess.

Dear Mr. Moore:
I am afraid there is very little that one playwright can do to help another toward finding a more accurate and illuminating means of expression. Your play shows thought and undoubted talent but as you say in your letter the verse is often unsatisfactory for the stage. Not that it isn't good verse, as modern verse goes, but it's certainly too cryptic to be understood at one hearing. It's almost as if when you cease writing prose, you cease to communicate, whereas the verse should communicate just as directly and more forcefully than the prose. Structurally your play seems to me to hold together very well and your characters are interesting and ably developed.
I am forwarding your script to Miss Louise Sillcox of The Dramatists' Guild with the recommendation that if there are any extra scholarships floating about you could get one. This probably won't mean a thing to you but I'm making the suggestion.
P.S. There is an annual verse play contest held by Stanford University and you might enter your play. 2 There are no strings attached and you retain all rights. The contest is in charge of Professor Margery Bailey.

SELFINA is engaged in the economic empowerment of women in Tanzania through the provision of a leasing and leaseback microfinance facility, as a practical way to achieve the economic and social emancipation of women.
SELFINA has taken a lead role as a pioneer of micro-credit in Tanzania through Micro-Leasing. Customs and traditions in Tanzania normally make it difficult for women to own land and assets, thus they are termed not-creditworthy by financial institutions as they lack tangible collateral assets. This leads to poor financial support and poor access to basic needs and services for women with low incomes.
SELFINA buys and leases equipment to women. Where a client needs working capital, SELFINA buys equipment from said client, extending a loan to her, then leasing back the same equipment – a process called a sale-and-leaseback arrangement.

Jackson County sheriff's investigators still are working to identify the young Hispanic man whose body was found Monday night in a wrecked Jeep Cherokee near Pendergrass, said David Cochran, chief deputy of the Jackson County Sheriff's Office.
The man was found about 7:30 p.m. Monday shot in the back of the head when deputies answered a report about a wrecked SUV in the woods off Lipscomb Lake Road.
EMTs and firefighters arrived first, after a passing motorist called 911 to report seeing a vehicle in the woods, Cochran said. But after reaching the Jeep, which stopped about 200 feet into the woods, they realized the driver had been shot in the head.
Cochran urged anyone with information about the dead man or the black 2005 Cherokee to call (706) 367-8718.

The Flow Theory In The Classroom: A Primer - 2 views
John Evans on 25 Jan 15"This is number 6 in my blog series on major learning theories. My plan is to work through the alphabet of psychologists and provide a brief overview of their theories, and how each can be applied in education. In the last post we examined the work of Craik and Lockhart on Levels of Processing theory. In this post, we explore the work of Mihály Csíkszentmihályi on Flow Theory. This is a simplified interpretation of the theory, so if you wish to learn more, please refer to the original work of the theorist.
There is an interesting news report on the BBC News website this morning. It is a piece claiming that children who use technology at home are finding that they are not able to concentrate in school. They are not able to focus, claims the report, because 'they're spending so much time on digital games or social media.' Yeah right. It's easy to blame lack of concentration on technology, but what about the quality of the lessons they are attending?
The onus is on teachers to make lessons more interesting, and that is what they are trained to do. Part of the solution might be to incorporate these digital games and social media into some of the lessons. Just how can we engage students more effectively? Here's Flow Theory:"

Kanye West's third solo single of his career, "Jesus Walks" helped launch a career. West's co-writer on the College Dropout song, a fellow Chicago, Illinois native Rhymefest, would take the 2004 fanfare, including a Grammy Award, and sign a major label deal with J Records and Mark Ronson's Allido Records.
The pair has collaborated sporadically since, notably on 'Fest's own breakthrough 2005 single "Brand New," but not much in the last five years. Pitchfork has pointed out that Rhymefest, who has since run for alderman in his hometown, is a credited writer within the full liner notes, available exclusively online, to West's sixth album,Yeezus, released yesterday (June 18). West is listed, as is government name, Che Smith.
In 2010, Rhymefest released his sophomore album, and first since leaving J Records, El Che. While Kanye did not work on the album, one of the producers signed to West's production company, S1 (of Strange Fruit Project), produced four of the LP's 16 songs.
That same year, S1 explained to HipHopDX how Rhymefest introduced him to Kanye West: "One day Rhymefest told me to send him a few beats over and he will try to play a few for Kanye [West]. Originally, I wasn't going to put that "Power" beat in the beat batch because I used similar drums as Kanye did on "Crack Music." So I was [thinking] he's definitely not gonna pick this one however I sent the beat anyway. Then a couple weeks later I received a text from 'Fest saying, "Kanye is loving your stuff, He said he's about to change your life." Two days later I was on a flight to Hawaii to meet Mr. West. The rest is pretty much history."
The sticker to the retail version of Yeezus only includes album samples and interpolations. Those include Gang Starr's "Chief Rocka" and "Memories" by Beenie Man.

The court dismissed an appeal by opponents of the gun measure
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The wording cannot be changed just three weeks before Missouri's primary election on a ballot measure asking voters to declare in the state Constitution that the right to bear arms is "unalienable," the state Supreme Court ruled Friday.
The court dismissed an appeal by opponents of the gun measure, saying a state law forbids the court from making changes to ballot measures within six weeks of an election.
The ruling means the wording will not be changed on Proposed Constitutional Amendment 5, which will go before voters on Aug. 5.
Soon after the amendment was officially certified for the August ballot on June 13, opponents filed two separate lawsuits challenging its wording. Those suits, filed by prosecutors from St. Louis and Kansas City, the St. Louis police chief and a gun-control activist, later were consolidated by a trial judge.
Opponents argue that the ballot wording failed to mention other significant changes, including that gun-control measures would become subject to tougher legal scrutiny and that a current constitutional provision allowing restrictions on concealed guns would be repealed.

Fly into Guatemala City where you will be met and transferred to your hotel in Antigua.
This morning we'll get acquainted with the city of Antigua, where the most impressive festivities will take place later this week. Once the capital of Guatemala and all of Central America, Antigua resembles a living ruin. Mammoth ruins of churches and palaces tell the story of Antigua's past glory, and restored fascades speak of a bright future for this wonderful city. After lunch we head to Chichicastenango and wander through the main square, watching traders from far and near prepare for tomorrow's market.
Today we rise early to visit the famous market of Chichicastenango. This beautiful town, surrounded by valleys and shadowed by mountains, has many spiritual and ceremonial overtones. Its large market brings villagers from throughout the region, who often arrive the night before and sleep on blankets in the market square. Rising early, they set out their colorful fruits, vegetables and handicrafts. Today is Palm Sunday, so we'll see the procession of the religious brotherhood, or cofradias, as well. The market disperses in the early afternoon and we travel to Lago Atitlan, often referred to as the most beautiful lake in the world. Our home for the next few days is a charming lodge in the village of Santiago Atitlan.
This is a free day, and you're welcome to explore as you wish. Go canoeing on the lake, horseback riding to a nearby cloudforest, or rent a mountain bike. Meet up with our local guide and learn about the mystical undercurrents of the area, or visit Maya Saints in the brotherhood houses and watch some of the day's rituals. Scholars tell us that the Ancient Maya disappeared mysteriously a thousand years ago, but anyone who has intimately explored this fascinating region knows that the Maya continue to thrive in the highlands of Guatemala. Villagers in Santiago Atitlan still adhere to the traditional lifestyle of the Tz'utuhil Maya and we'll see many people cloaked in brightly-colored, hand-woven clothing. Along Santiago's main street are art galleries filled with oil paintings depicting busy market scenes and typical life in the highlands.
We cross the lake this morning on one of the frequent boats and board a public "chicken bus" for our short journey. A few miles down the curvy mountain road known as the Interamericana, we reach the town of Solola. The main plaza is home to one of the most authentic markets in the highlands, and we'll spend some time wandering through the stalls, admiring the palette of colors created by mounds of fruits, vegetables, meats, housewares and clothing. Solola's Tuesday market is known throughout the country for the quality of its textiles and the weaving of the traditional huipiles - handmade white blouses embroidered with bright motifs. After our sensory feast we return to our lakeside lodge.
One of the more unique aspects of Santiago Atitlan is its reverence for Maximon, a curious Maya deity whose preferred offerings include beer and rum. As part of the Semana Santa celebrations, Maximon's effigy, cigar protruding from his wooden mask, is proudly paraded around town. We'll enjoy the processions before transferring back to Antigua in the afternoon.
The spectacular Easter celebrations in the former colonial capital are beyond comparison to anything in the northern hemisphere. Along cobblestone streets, intricate carpets of colored sawdust are painstakingly laid down. Later, a solemn procession of Roman centurions march over the carpets, carrying an image of Christ on the cross. Music and swinging incense burners accompany the robed cofradia. During these lively days leading up to Easter Sunday, we'll witness elaborate ceremonies re-enacting the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. Trips can also be arranged to climb the nearby volcanoes of Pacaya and Acatenango, or you might rent mountain bikes to explore the foothills of the Antigua Valley, go horseback riding, or visit a nearby coffee plantation.
This morning the city is remarkably quiet as families gather to celebrate and worship together. We turn our attention northward, and after breakfast depart for the magnificent Tikal ruins in the steamy jungles of the El Peten region. Tikal's towering pyramids rise above the thick jungle canopy like stoic sentinels of ancient mysteries. The ancient Maya began building this city around 600 B.C., and for the next 1500 years the area was an important religious, scientific, and political center. Pyramids to honor dead kings were built, administrative buildings rose, storage houses appeared and houses for royalty were carved out of the jungle. Tikal became one of the greatest centers of Maya culture and sprawled over 46 square miles with more than 4000 structures in the core city center alone. Today, the pristine forest engulfing the ruined city is home to howler and spider monkeys, white lipped peccary, brocket deer, coatimundis, toucans, scarlet macaws, parrots, ocelots and the seldom seen jaguar. We'll explore the ruins with an experienced private guide before returning to the shores of Lake Peten Itza and our hotel for the night.
For those interested, wake early to return to Tikal to enjoy the atmosphere before the crowds arrive. This morning is free to relax in your lakeside hotel, wander the ruins, or take a taxi into the town of Flores to enjoy some local culture. Later on we head to the airport to complete our Guatemala travel. We spend our last night in Guatemala City, the modern-day capital of Guatemala. If you are interested we can arrange for your trip to continue on from Tikal into Belize, to explore the rainforest and reef.

Hot Dad: Orlando Bloom Makes An Appearance In Leather (Photos)Joanna Mazewski

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

The modern concept of social justice is based on a secular philosophy that took shape in the Western world in the eighteenth century and was enshrined, after a long evolution in the Universal Declaration on Human Rights ( 1948).

Now those who are more favoured will by no means hand over their provision to those whom their right hands possess, so that they may be equal with them in respect thereof.
