What is government and what role does it play in our lives? Why do we need government?
In its simplest form, a government determines the way in which a country, state, county, township, city, or village is run. At every level, government makes laws that citizens must obey and creates policies about everything connected with the daily life of a communitywhether that community is a nation, a state or the town where you live.

Every time we pick up a newspaper, open a magazine, turn on the TV, or click a link online, it seems we're confronted by some throwback to the 1950s. Whether it's rockabilly music, "traditional American values," retro fashion or the search for an idea that will bolster America's economy to its post-war boom, that decade looms. Judging by recent news articles, it seems that mid-century modern never really went out of style: the hula hoop returns as workout gear; ranch-style homes are all the rage; one-piece bathing suits are chic again; young men are cuffing their jeans to be trendy; and 1950s music remains cooool, daddy-o.
What was so great about the 1950s? Hitler had been defeated, communism seemed to have been contained, we liked Ike, the space-race was on, Marilyn sang about a girl's best friend and Elvis was the hip-swiveling ideal we wanted to be or be with. The economy and babies were booming, and increased freedom brought expanded consumerism and expanded backyards, as we moved to the suburbs. But what seemed so easy and peaceful really only lasted a few years. The Korean War had ended in an impasse, followed by the McCarthy hearings, and by the end of the decade, feminism and the civil rights movement began to stir society. Our nation had begun the roller coaster ride of Mad Men vs. hippies in the turbulent 1960s.
Through it all, music was the nation's pulse. The swing of the big bands in the 1940s was replaced by the 1950s pop tune, which metamorphosed into rhythm-and-blues infused rock 'n' roll. The confections sung by Pat Boone, Connie Francis and Bobby Darin hid, beneath their clean-cut harmonies, a more rebellious influence. The homecoming queen harbored a secret crush on the motorcycle-riding, cigarette-smoking rebel from the wrong side of the tracks, and by the end of the 1960s, the pink prom populars had exchanged their bobby socks for go-go boots and were belting out "You Don't Own Me" and "These Boots Were Made For Walking."
The Arundel Barn Playhouse production of "The Marvelous Wonderettes" takes us back in time as four young lady songleaders entertain the crowd at their 1958 senior prom with songs of love and dreams like "Mr. Sandman," "Lollipop," "Stupid Cupid" and "Lipstick On Your Collar." They return in the second act for their 10-year 1968 reunion as mature women with ten years of life experience, belting out songs like "Heatwave," "It's In His Kiss" and "Leader Of The Pack." A recent Off-Broaway hit, this perfect end-of-summer treat features these Wonderettes as they affirm that traditional value which may be the driving force behind all of our nostalgia: that true friendships stand the tempests of love and the tests of time.
"The Marvelous Wonderettes" runs Aug. 19-30 with performances at 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 2 p.m. Wednesdays, with special performances at 2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 29, and 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 24.

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — U.S. factories barely boosted their output in September, adding to other signs that the economy was slowing even before the government shutdown began on Oct. 1.
Manufacturing production rose only 0.1 percent, the Federal Reserve said Monday. That's down from a 0.5 percent gain in August, which was slightly lower than previously reported.
Truck freight, which depends on manufacturing, slowed from the first of October to what it was mid-month.
During the first week of October, TransCore reported 3.0 available van loads for each available truck. But by mid-month the ratio fell to 2.4 loads per truck.
Factory output is the largest component of industrial production. It had shown signs of rebounding over the summer, raising hopes that factories would help drive economic growth in the second half of the year.
But several reports suggest businesses and consumers had both grown more cautious right before the 16-day partial government shutdown. And overall hiring has slowed. Those factors could keep the economy weak until next year.
Automakers boosted their output in September, but the gain was offset by declines at makers of computers, furniture and appliances.
Overall industrial production increased 0.6 percent in September, mostly because of a 4.4 percent jump in utility output. Utilities had fallen for five months. But September was unseasonably warm, likely increasing air conditioning use.
Mining output, which includes oil production, rose 0.2 percent, its sixth straight increase.
A measure of the total existing capacity used by factories, mines and utilities rose to the highest level since July 2008. That suggests that if demand rises much more, companies will have to invest in more factories and other production facilities to increase output.
Orders for industrial machinery and other core capital goods, which signal business confidence in the economy, fell sharply in September, the government said last week. Economists pay close attention to those orders because they typically signal expansion.
Still, one measure of manufacturing said overall factory activity expanded in September at the fastest pace in 2 ½ years. The closely watched Institute for Supply Management manufacturing survey noted that production rose and manufacturers stepped up hiring, while new orders jumped, though not as quickly as the previous month.
The Fed's report on industrial production was delayed by the 16-day shutdown. It was originally scheduled to be released Oct. 17.
Most economists predict growth slowed in the July-September quarter to an annual rate of about 1.5 percent to 2 percent, down from a 2.5 percent rate in the April-June quarter. And the shutdown is likely to keep growth at that sluggish pace for the final three months of the year.

Prayer for peace in the Holy Land
By Joespeh Cornelius Donnelly, Head of Caritas Internationalis Delegation, UN in New York,
Lord, Jesus Christ,
Son of the Living God,
we come to in the sacredness of life,
conscious of the gift of every human being,
created in your image and likeness.
We come before you this November time
when the global community notes again
its solemn commemoration and concerns for
the inalienable rights of Palestinian People.
We pray for all your people,
for Jews, Christians and Muslims,
for Israelis, Palestinians, Arabs,
whose lives are inextricably linked everyday
in the Holy Land they must share.
You are the loving author of life.
All rights are God-given, from you to us.
We pray for our sisters and brothers,
longsuffering in Jerusalem, the West Bank,
and in Gaza where they are cut off from us.
We pray for the innocent victims of violence.
We pray that all extreme actions will cease.
We pray for new measures of courageous leadership.
With friends, partners and all believers in The Land,
and across the fragile earth we share, we pray too
that our coming together will multiply good will
for genuine opportunities to build peace together.
We pray for a peace as real as the ancient olive trees
so that a beautiful landscape will be fruitful once more.
We pray that the will for such a peace grows daily
so that in all hearts we unite rather than divide,
so that we can be sheltering trees in good times and bad.
Indeed, Lord,
we pray to walk humbly together,
to love justice as the greatest witness in gratitude to you
for the precious gift of life we treasure –
in the Holy Land and everywhere in the beauty of peace.

After 15 Years, FemSex DE-Cal Still Going at It
Friday, February 13, 2009
Category: Special
The Female Sexuality DE-Cal is like a good orgasm: It's jarring, emotionally powerful and it just keeps going.
In fact, it was the desire to climax that inspired the course 15 years ago, although since then the focus has changed.
"Initially, it started out as a class on how to have orgasms," said third-year Tracie Raymond, a current facilitator of the course. "But they widened the parameters, because the faculty wouldn't OK it."
The class now centers on women's empowerment and has broadened its scope to such topics as body image, sexual violence and alternative sexualities.
When it first began in the fall of 1994, the DE-Cal featured just one section with 20 students. This spring, it opened with five sections and more than 100 students, making it one of the most popular student-run courses on campus.
Facilitators and students say the course's allure stems from its discussion-based format and the diverse students it draws. Many call it a "safe space" for female students to express themselves and explore their sexualities.
"In this space, you actually feel comfortable sharing your thoughts, because you know you're not being judged," said Katie-Lyn Lantow, a former student who hopes to facilitate the course in the fall.
In 2002, Female Sexuality-as well as the male version of the course-faced scrutiny by administrators after a Daily Californian article cited illicit sexual behavior in class. The incident sparked new guidelines for faculty oversight of student-run courses, but both DE-Cals have endured.
"Some people have a negative impression, but it's not like that at all," said senior Christie Santos, who took the course last semester. "The total goal is empowerment."
For one project, students were asked to pen their own erotic story. Facilitators have also aired pornography clips in class to counter negative preconceptions about the industry's treatment of women, Raymond said.
"Before the class, I would be really hesitant to use porn," Santos said. "I think as women, we have a lot of hang-ups about porn and self-pleasuring ... I think it's really interesting, because it's exciting, it's arousing-there is a lot of porn out there that isn't degrading."
Speakers in the DE-Cal have included sexologist Carol Queen-co-founder of the Center for Sex and Culture-as well as midwives, porn performers and members of the transsexual community.
The course has also held optional field trips to bondage clubs to allow students to explore alternative sexualities, Santos said.
Other campuses have borrowed the DE-Cal's concept and curricula for their own female sexuality courses, including Harvard University, which started a version in 2006.
"When FemSex was new at Harvard, it was wildly popular. It was so different from anything else that was being offered," said Harvard graduate Vanessa Pratt, who facilitated her campus's version of the course in 2007-08.
She said the course provided students with a casual forum for intimacy that the campus otherwise lacked.
"We had people who were married, people who weren't going to kiss until they were married, girls who had never used a tampon before, a person in a queer polyamorous nonsexual relationship-every possible non-normative style," Pratt said. "We never had a goal at all, except to have safe, productive, thought-provoking conversations and for people to be more fulfilled in their lives after they left."

Peranakan Chinese Indonesian Batik Tulis Solo style by Tjoa Tjoen Tiang, the second generation of the famous Peranakan Chinese batik maker of the "3 Negeri" (3 States / 3 Cities / 3 Countries) style, who worked around the 1920s-1940s. The "3 Negeri" style is known for their classic brown, blue and red, traditionally each dipped in Solo, Pekalongan and Lasem respectively. Colours of the past, in this case, especially the brown, is unlike any brown you can find today in any Batik Tulis. The PH level of the soil will never be the same, making the water used in colour mixing to differ as well. Not to mention the mixture of things used in the dye itself. The recipe for "sogan" brown is as complicated as any chef's signature dish. And unless this recipe is passed down systematically, it is gone forever, as this one seemed to have been. This piece is signed "TTT". I theorize that Tjoa Tjoen Tiang initially followed the first generation Tjoa Giok Tjiam who signed their products in an oval seal. This then evolved to a square one, and then simply initialed TTT. This initial in itself evolved from TTT to T.T.T to ToToT to TOTOT. If this is correct, this would be an earlier work and could very possibly be of natural dyes (although synthetic ones have been used since the late 1800s). This batik tulis was made in the "pagi-sore", which became popular as a way to economize on cloths during the great depression and the onset of World War II. After this period, the pagi-sore was made as a style, instead of necessity. Combined, these facts point to around the 1930s. CONDITION: MINT. Note: the shine on the photo of the "TTT" initial / signature was because it was taken while the item is inside a plastic cover which protects it.

The Female Face of Poverty and Economic Insecurity: The Impact of the Recession on Women in Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh MSA
Submitted by Kyla Bender-Baird on Thu, 02/18/2010 - 7:22pm
Since the beginning of the recession at the end of 2007, unemployment has increased rapidly, in Pennsylvania as it has elsewhere. While many families suffer as a result of reduced earnings and unemployment, women who head households face significantly higher risks of unemployment than male heads of households, and are much more likely than men to live in poverty.

At Retirement Home for Dogs, Golden Years Are Measured Differently
The finest features of the new Himawari retirement home, scheduled to open in May, are its spacious rooms, wide-open gardens and on-site medical facility.
There are no age restrictions, but spokeswoman Haruko Matsushita said most residents are expected to be over age 10.
In dog years, that's about 60, depending on the breed.
In a country with one of the world's oldest population of humans, Himawari offers a retirement home for their canine companions. Thanks to advances in veterinary medicine and healthier food, dogs are living longer, Ms. Matsushita said, presenting similar challenges involving long-term care.
"There are many owners having a difficult time taking care of their aged pet dogs these days," she said.
"Aged dogs suffer from dementia like humans. They roam in circles over and over again and bark repeatedly throughout the night," making it difficult for owners to care for the pets, she said.
Many elderly dog owners also face challenges caring for younger dogs, and a quarter of Japanese are now older than 65.
Himawari isn't Japan's first retirement home for dogs, but it offers distinctive features. Located in Tsukuba, Ibaraki prefecture, it will be operated by the same company that manages a nearby dog theme park called Wanwan Land, roughly translated as "Woofwoof Land."
The company, Sansui Corp., has nearly two decades of experience caring for dogs, and currently looks after about 400 of them at the theme park, which offers dog shows and other events whose target audience is paying humans.
Himawari will have private rooms for each resident, and a lounge for socializing–which is important in impeding the progress of dementia, the company says.
Residents' owners can pay in a lump sum to receive life-long care, or by the year. Annual fees include 230,000 yen ($2,300) for deposit and medical costs, plus an annual payment of 480,000-720,000 yen depending on the size of the dog.
For a life-long contract, 1.72 million yen will cover dogs over 36 kilograms.
"We are ready to take in about 50 dogs initially," Ms. Matsushita said. "So far we've received inquiries from our website. Some owners have already stopped by to check the facilities being constructed."

Prevenar 13, an advanced pneumococcal conjugate vaccine to protect infants and young children from pneumococcus, a bacteria that causes pneumonia, meningitis and sepsis has been launched in India.
Prevenar 13 provides the broadest serotype coverage of any pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, according to Kewal Handa, managing director, Wyeth (now part of Wyeth).
Prevnar 13 includes the seven serotypes in Prevenar plus six additional serotypes, which together represent the most prevalent invasive disease-causing strains in children, he stated.
Prevenar 13 vaccine covers serotypes 1 and 5 that are associated with complicated pneumonia. Further, it covers serotype 19A which has globally emerged a a leading cause of pneumococcal disease in children less than 5 years of age.
Prevenar 13 is administered in a 3-dose series for infants.
Currently, the cost of Prevenar 13 vaccine is Rs 3,800 in India and few emerging markets for the full 3-dose series.
Prevenar 13 has studied in more than 7,000 infants and young children worldwide.
The data from these trials have established the safety and efficacy of Prevenar 13 for the prevention of invasive pneumococccal disease in infants and young children, Wyeth (Pfizer) said in a press release.
Clinical trial data showed that Prevenar 13 can be administered with all routine paediatric vaccines.
Prevenar 13 covers approximately 75 per cent of disease-causing serotypes in India. Preventing this group of diseases is of utmost importance for two reasons – pneumococcal diseases are difficult to diagnose in the Indian context and, secondly, the bacteria are developing resistance to antibiotics, stated Dr Nitin Shah, consultant paediatrician at the P D Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai.
More than 30 lakh doses of Prevenar have been distributed worldwide, since its launch in 2000 in US.
Prevenar is part of the national immunization program in more than 47 countries. The vaccine is currently available in 98 countries.
More than two million children die from pneumonia every year. Only about half of children sick with pneumonia receive appropriate medical care and fewer than 20 per cent of children with pneumonia receive the recommended treatment of antibiotics, according to Dr Shah.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has sought the inclusion of Prevenar in the National Immunization programs of developing countries as a high priority especially where under 5 mortality is more than 50 per 1,000 live births or where more than 50,000 children die annually. In India the under five mortality is 69 per 1,000 live births and 4.10 lakh children die annually just from pneumonia.
It has to be recalled that clinical trials of Prevenar vaccine trials by the domestic unit of Wyeth Inc. were suspended by India's drug regulator after reports of death of an infant on whom the vaccine was tested in a trial site in Bangalore last year.
The child had a pre-existing cardiac disorder. The inclusion of an infant with a cardiac condition in the Wyeth vaccine test violated India's drug testing rules, said the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) as a reason for suspending all the Prevnar trials across the country.
Wyeth's phase III trial was part of global clinical trials to assess the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of the improvised version of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine that fights 13 strains of bacteria compared with seven strains in the company's current Prevnar.
The vaccine trial was comparing efficacy of Prevenar and the new variant.
Wyeth. however, had maintained that the child who died had been administered Prevenar and not the new 13-strain variant.
"The event occurred in the control group, which used the current worldwide standard vaccine for prevention of pneumococcal disease and which has been administered safely more than 200 million times worldwide during the past seven years," a company spokesperson had said.
However, the ban on Prevnar trials was lifted in May this year and allowed Wyeth and its CRO GVK Biosciences Pvt. Ltd, the Hyderbad-based clinical research organization to carry on with the trials
Similarly, Prevnar (Prevenar) vaccine batch was suspended in The Netherlands following the death of three infants in November last year.
On batch of Prevenar (Prevnar is sold under the brand name Prevenar in EU countries), has been pulled out the Netherland's market after three infants died within two weeks of getting the vaccine, Dutch health institute RIVM said.
Prevnar is a vaccine to provide immunity against the invasive pneumococcal disease in infants is marketed by Wyeth, which has just been acquired by the world's largest drug maker Pfizer, worldwide.
Wyeth has ordered the suspension of Prevenar vaccines with batch number D66977, following the reports of infant deaths.
Even though about 5 to 10 deaths are reported annually after babies get vaccines on average, the three cases of infant deaths in a short period is unusual, RIVM sources were quoted as saying.

Nucleation and Atmospheric Aerosols 1996
1st Edition
- Electronic ISBN 9780080537825
- Print ISBN 9780080420301
The Atmospheric Aerosol conference has been held jointly with the Nucleation Symposium since 1988 in Vienna in order to stimulate contacts between researchers in these closely related fields.
The broad nature of the meeting and the scientific program resulted in 32 countries submitting papers for presentation. Covering both experimental and theoretical studies these papers are divided amongst the chapters on Nucleation, Stratospheric Aerosols and Ice Nucleation, Tropospheric Aerosols and Aerosol-Cloud-Climate Interaction. In addition to these contributed papers invitations to present a plenary lecture on topics of particular current interest were accepted by P.J. Crutzen, J. Gras, J.L. Katz, A.A. Lushnikov, D. Oxtoby, J.E. Penner, Th. Peter, F. Raes, S.E. Schwartz, R. Strey and G. Vali. These plenary papers together with the contributed papers provide a well-balanced perspective of the current research over the entire field and highlight some important issues.

sorry but i am not glad he is gone....he dragged us up the table into the champions league.....personally i think he is more charismatic and soccer wise than AvB,.......blame egotistical levy .....who thinks that he is god.....and likes to assert his authority.....his tight fistedness has cost us some great players....Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

DerekW, everyone is entitled to their opinion but (ALbeit lasagne gate) Big MJ had done the same with a similar squad who were not at there peak, ie: Modric, and without VDV.
So IMHO all HR did was take us back to where we were before Juande Ramos.
Two seasons on the trot he cost the club money by not rotating the squad sufficiently and falling away regarding results after the January window. 12 points clear of the gooners and crumbling to end up behind them.
As I said he had us playing some great football at times but how could Levy keep a manager that was spouting about wanting the England job and refusing to sign a new contract when offered. (This was before his court case).
Once he was overlooked he took on a new rep, Rooney's one, and started trying to get what was offered before but with a bigger, longer contract.
I cannot see how he can be seen as charismatic, to me he's just a loudmouth man who's just so far up himself. He never admits he's the one at fault, it is the fans or the players or something else, but as I said, everyone has their own opinion and can obviously say what they feel.

You're right. We've all got our own opinions.
Rotating the squad - that is an odd one - as I think AVB has used less players (rotating) than 'arry - I'd be interested to see the stats for that. 'arry seemed to me more 'keen' to put out squad players in the cups and even in the Europa (wasn't he criticised for that?).
As for the contract - I never saw anything that said he was offered a contract. Do you have a source for him refusing the contract? I kept a track of the headlines and there was lots of speculation - but I don't recall one story that stated that he'd refused a contract as a fact.
Finally, the dip in form does not appear to be anything new - and strangely it seems to be happening again (although it's impossible to judge before the end of the season) with AVB as well.
Last season, I think we had something like 39 points at Christmas and then got 30 in the second half - the difference being that the first half of the season was close to title winning form - the second half then looks really bad - but what made the difference appear worse (from recollection) was that Woolwich started badly, and then finished strongly - ie they had the opposite season in way of form. That's what made it look so bad.
It's not an odd phenomena - Utd are known for having better second halves - ditto Everton.
Why it occurs, who knows.

Those are really remarkable photos! I'm curious about two things. Were you ever able to tell for sure the sex of the lion? Also, why would the lion return to the site after he drug the carcass off?
We'll miss you while you're recuperating and we're hoping for the best of outcomes for you and K both! Take good care of yourself!

Awesome montage - it almost seemed that the lion knew the camera was there the way he looked straight at us. Such a powerfully built animal!
All the best to you, and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

Ok, for those of you sticking with me, please take a moment to recite this aloud. "There are problems in every line, in every breed, in every country in the world. Admitting the problems and willingness to talk about them is the first step in educating other people and finding cures."
Today, we're talking about the split penis. We don't know a lot about it- I want to share some theories of mine and give opinions of others I've talked to.
First- what is a split penis? How do you identify it? Thanks to Donna at Snowberry Holland Lops in Canada, for allowing me to post the pictures you're about to see. They ALL are property of Donna, please do not remove them from this blog. You may visit her website to obtain permission for any use you may want to put them to.
This is a split penis from the tip. It is not fully extended in this picture.
See the slit running from the tip down? Yep, a split penis is just what it sounds like- it's split open.Here is "Mr. Flare's" split flared open. This flare was achieved by applying a small amount of additional pressure.
Splits do not always start at the top. I've seen them where the underside gaped open, almost as if someone had used a pen knife to cut a small line lengthwise. I'm trying to locate good pictures of this kind of split, so if anyone could donate some, you can do it either anonymously or with full credit.
I do not believe split penises cause physical pain. Much as if a rabbit were born without a tail or a human born without a finger, it's a situation where they don't know any different. If it had been caused by a tear, yes it might be painful.
Split penises can cause problems with breeding. In some cases, a buck can not fully extend the penis, making it difficult for him to breed. Other times, the penis curls due to the split in such an odd way, he would not be able to "catch" the doe. However, some bucks with this issue can and DO breed.
Is it genetic? I believe it is. We know it has NOTHING to do with feed, cage conditions, thumping the rabbit or calling it names. I believe does, as well as bucks, are carriers- after all, lots of bucks with the split penis problem can't "seal the deal", so it has to continue on from somewhere. I have heard of some instances where a doe bred to two different bucks has thrown babies with splits- whereas neither buck had produced them before. A friend from the Rabbit Habbit forum has also noted that does who throw the split penis babies tend to have a more elongated vulva.
So what are the signs you might have a problem?
*Gender confusion- thinking a buck is a doe beyond the normal period of time. If you have a 4 month old buck you're still confused on, you need to check him very closely.
*Trouble Breeding
*Difficulty extending the penis.
None of these (other than seeing the actual split) is a surefire sign that your animal does have a split penis. These are just flags that should get you to check your animal more closely.
So what do you do if a split penis shows up in your line?
My personal preference would be to cull the animal. I do not believe it is worth it to breed in a genetic fault, anymore than I would breed in bad teeth or mismarks. I've been very fortunate in that the only split penis I've had in my barn did not come from a rabbit I bred and was not used in the breeding program before it was caught. I'm not so vain to think that's because I did anything special.
Some folks cull the entire line. That's up to you. I do think if you have a buck that throws a split penis with every doe he's bred to, you will want him gone, even if he doesn't display the split himself. Sometimes splits become more obvious with age.
If you do breed the animal, keep a close eye on the offspring. What is the use of having really beautiful babies if 90% of them are DQ'd for splits?

Do you think a buck can produce offspring that are fine, but then those offspring throw split penis'?
We have a buck (Dusty) that throws awesome Mini Lop babies. Now, I have bred 2 of his daughters and 1 son, I have 8 to 12 week old bucks with split penises. I did line breed the buck to his 1/2 sister. The other sister was bred to a different line. All split bucks.
- March 21, 2011 at 2:55 PM
- Keep said...
Ack! That definitely seems like the buck is a carrier of split Ps. As hard as it is, in this case it's probably best to retire him as a show-only buck or retired him from your herd altogether, especially since the daughters are carrying it and passing it on as well! I might try the son with an unrelated doe to see if he produces bucks with splits with her though.

Report: Energy Storage – The Next Charge for Distributed Energy| Written by John Farrell | No Comments | Updated on Mar 26, 2014 The content that follows was originally published on the Institute for Local Self-Reliance website at https://ilsr.org/energystoragethenextchargefordistributedenergy/
Update 5/2/14: titles for Fig. 2 and 3 in the report were mistakenly switched and are now corrected.
Energy storage promises to change the electricity system during the next decade, as fundamentally as distributed renewable energy has in the last decade. A new report from the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, Energy Storage: The Next Charge for Distributed Energy, forecasts where the battleground is shaping up. The report also details promising examples of local renewable energy utilizing energy storage — from Laurel, MD to San Diego, CA to Kaua'i Island, Hawaii — illustrating how the powerful combination can allow for more thorough adoption of renewable energy, support greater local control, and increase reliability of the energy system.
Download the full report here.
The new report reviews the many ways energy storage systems enhance distributed renewable energy including innovative uses for electric vehicles (EVs), community solar, island power grids, and microgrids. The report also looks at ways in which communities utilized energy storage to help managed supply and demand and ancillary electricity services, while reinforcing infrastructure, and supporting renewables.

There comes a time in most websites' lifetime when it is necessary to transfer to a new web host. Hopefully, your reason for transferring when the time comes is due to a substantial rise in traffic and you require greater resources to handle it, and not because of a troublesome web host. At that time, the availability of your website is crucial and there is no room for downtime if you're building your business online, since this can mean missed opportunities.
Here's a simple tutorial to help you complete the web host transfer with absolutely zero downtime and without hiring a professional to take care of the task for you.
Step 1 – Backup All WordPress Files
Once you have your new hosting account ready and activated, you can start creating a copy of your existing files with your current web host. Login to your old web host's control panel and navigate to your File Manager. The folder you will need to backup is the one that contains all WordPress content including images and core files. This is usually within the public_html folder as shown below.
The simplest method for backing up these files is to select all files and folders within the directory and execute the compress command which will compress all files within the folder into one manageable zip file. The option usually looks like either image below:
Step 2 – Optimize Your Database
You will be creating a backup of your WordPress database but before you do, you will need to optimize your WordPress database tables. An easy way to do this is to use the optimize tables option with the WP-DB Manager plugin. This is necessary to reduce the size of your database backup.
Step 3 – Disable all Plugins
Login to your WordPress dashboard and disable all plugins.
Step 4 – Backup your WordPress Database
Login to your old hosting account and select your phpMyadmin or manage MySQL option to gain access to your databases. Create a backup of your WordPress database and download the SQL copy to your computer.
To backup your database within phpMyadmin:
Once you've completed the steps in the diagram scroll to the bottom of the screen and select "Go." This will download the SQL file to your computer.
Step 5 – Upload the Downloaded Zip File
Login to your new hosting account and upload the compressed file you downloaded in Step 1. This should be uploaded to your root directory. Once uploaded, go ahead and extract the files to the directory. You will then see that your WordPress folders and other content are now present.
Step 6 – Create The New Database
Within your new hosting account, you will need to create a new database. Most web hosting accounts provide a "Database Setup Wizard" that will take you through the steps for creation. Use this option and it will allow you to assign the database name, user, password and account privileges. Ensure the user is assigned all privileges and copy all these details to your notepad for use later.
Step 7 – Restore Backup Database
Within your new host, select your phpMyadmin option and select the database you created in Step 6. After selecting the database, you will notice that it has no tables. Then you should select the Import tab to import the old tables into the new database.
Click "Browse" to search for the database backup file you downloaded in Step 4, then select "Go." This will begin the upload process which can take a while depending on the size of your database backup file.
Take note of the maximum file upload size on this screen as you will not be able to upload anything larger. If it is larger then you would need to contact your new host's tech support.
Step 8 – Edit the wp-config.php File
Browse to the file manager of your new hosting account and search for the wp-config.php file within the root directory. This is where you will enter your new database details. As shown below, edit this file with the new database credentials and save.
Ensure that you download a backup copy of the wp-config.php so that you can revert to the backup in case you make any major mistakes.
Step 9 – Assign The New Name Servers
Now that all files and database tables have been transferred to the new hosting account, its time to change the name servers so that they point to the new host provider. Usually, the name server is displayed along with general statistics and account details. However, if you can't find it then contact tech support.
The name server normally takes the format of ns234.hostprovider.com & ns235.hostprovider.com.
Your host provider will tell you that it takes up to 72 hours for the new names to propagate but it usually takes about an hour or two. As long as you following the steps above accurately you will not even notice when the change is complete.
Conduct Thorough Testing
Ensure that once the transfer is complete you conduct a thorough testing of all plugins and features of your site and WordPress dashboard to spot any potential problems.
That's it, you have successfully transferred your WordPress site to a new host.
If you receive the error message "Error establishing a database connection" after the transfer takes place then you will need to check to ensure that you entered your database credentials correctly in the wp-config.php file and that it is uploaded to the new host directory.
If you experience any difficulties or would like to contribute a better idea for making this process more efficient, feel free to leave us a comment below.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After knocking off No. 8 St. Ambrose 45-28 in Saturday's NAIA Football Championship Series first round, the 10th-ranked Southern Oregon football team will return to Iowa this weekend for a quarterfinal match, traveling to Sioux City to face No. 3 Morningside.
Southern Oregon was one of only two road teams to win last weekend, and the Raiders will be looking to hand the Mustangs their first loss of the season on Saturday. Since 2000, home teams in the FCS quarterfinals are 35-12.
Morningside, 11-0 this season, will be appearing in the quarterfinals for the seventh time in the last nine years and will host for the first time since 2009. The Raiders, 9-2 after Saturday's win, will be looking to make program history with a win in the quarterfinal round for the first time. Southern Oregon is 0-3 all-time in quarterfinal games, while Morningside is 1-5.
The Raiders will again charter a flight from Medford to Iowa, with the plane set to leave the Rogue Valley on Friday morning and fly direct to Sioux City. The team will return immediately following the game on Saturday. This week, however, the plane will have 80 extra seats available for fans and family to purchase and join the trip.
Seats will cost $500 each and will include transportation from the airport to the hotel and game in Sioux City, but will not include the hotel costs. Southern Oregon Athletics will reserve a block of rooms for fans at the team hotel for those traveling to purchase.
For more information about joining the team on its trip to Sioux City this weekend, contact associate athletic director Bobby Heiken at 541-552-6824 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Wetland and water body setbacks remain in county codeJune 12, 2013
And ear-piercing fire alarm interrupted Tuesday's Garfield County commissioner hearing about the proposed revisions to the county's land use code. In the thick of an extended conversation about water protections, a scheduled fire drill forced participants to evacuate the building. But as KDNK's Amy Hadden Marsh reports, that didn't stop commissioners and conservationists from compromising on water body and wetland protections.

Yoga for Depression: 3 Poses to Help You Combat the Blues
I recently attended a Health event as the magazine launched its new mantra, "Happy begins here."
I love that saying.
I have been trying to remind myself daily that happiness comes from within me. All I have to do is see my little guy's smile to be really happy; but there are some days I can still feel blue.
I am admitting this because I want everyone to know that we are all human and we all have emotions. Depression is a real thing and it's difficult to be in the depth of it and feel somewhat helpless.
Anxiety usually stems from worrying too much about the future and your "to do" list. Here are some yoga poses you can do to combat anxiety. Depression, on the other hand is when we get stuck in the past. Practicing yoga helps ground us in the present moment so we can feel truly happy.
Try rocking forward to the front of your feet or sit bones (if you're seated) and notice how it produces anxiety, moving into the future too fast. Now, lean back in your seat or to the heels of your feet; notice how you slump your shoulders forward and feel a little down. Finally, feel yourself anchored right in the middle of your seat or your feet and feel grounded and present. Try this exercise whenever you feel anxious or a bit depressed.
After I shared this information in my newsletter, I heard from some friends and students that they too suffer from both anxiety and depression. Clearly, lots of people deal with depression. Yes, even us "enlightened" yogis.

Let me just start by apologizing because I'm giving you only a single day to read The Fault in Our Stars, which premieres in theaters tomorrow—but trust me when I say, WORTH IT. If you haven't read it yet, know that you'll be so moved by the story of Miss Hazel Grace and her beau, Augustus Waters, that you'll power through it. And TFIOS isn't the only book turned movie this summer. Here are a few more to add to your reading list.
The Hundred-Foot Journey by Richard C. Morais
The story: The plot focuses on two restaurant rivals in France—one French, one Indian.
The movie: In theaters August 8. Starring Helen Mirren, this is sure to become the feel-good family film of the summer.__
The Giver by Lois Lowry
The story: Chances are you read this classic tale about a dystopian future in your middle-school English class. The story follows Jonas, a young boy in a society that's eliminated pain and strife who is selected to become the "Receiver of Memory"—past memories from before this new society was created.
The movie: In theaters August 15. The movie adaptation has a superstar cast going for it: Meryl Streep, Jeff Bridges, Katie Holmes, and Brenton Thwaites as Jonas. Even Taylor Swift has a buzz-y role.
If I Stay by Gayle Forman
The story: Get your tissues ready before you read this: The story follows 17-year-old Mia, who is dealing with the aftermath of a car accident that kills her family in an out-of-body experience. She must decide whether to stay and live without them or choose to die.
The movie: In theaters August 22. YA novels were obviously a big source of material for movies this summer. If I Stay stars Chloe Grace Moretz, who is definitely a one-to-watch rising star in Hollywood. This should only increase her star power.
The Switch by Elmore Leonard
The story: The wife of a wealthy developer is kidnapped and held for ransom—but there's one problem: He doesn't want her back.
The movie: In theaters August 29. The movie version is actually called Life of Crime but is based on the original story. Like The Giver, this one has an all-star cast to draw you in, including Jennifer Aniston, Tim Robbins, and Isla Fisher.
Bonus! Get a head start on fall movies and start reading these...
This Is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper
The story: I read this one recently, so I especially can't wait for the film adaptation. The comedy follows the dysfunctional Foxman clan as they mourn the death and sit shiva for the family's patriarch. Hilarity, as it's wont to do, ensues.
The movie: In theaters September 12. I find the casting particularly brilliant for this one. As you read, you'll easily imagine Adam Driver, Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, and others fitting into their roles.
Dark Places by Gillian Flynn and Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
The story: Although the stories on these two are very different, if you pick up a Gillian Flynn novel you know you're in for some dark, twist-y turns that you just can't put down—no matter how creeped out you get.
The movie(s): Dark Places is in theaters September 1. Gone Girl is in theaters October 3. We've been covering these two films—casting announcements, the trailer, first looks—since the beginning. Come fall, we'll be ready.
For more movies to see this summer, check out our guide to summer flicks.
__Which of these have you read so far? Any you'll be adding to your reading list? I'm seriously thinking of revisiting The Fault in Our Stars post-movie viewing.

Of Mice and Men
by John Steinbeck
Of Mice and Men Slim Quotes
Slim > George Milton
Quote 7
Slim came directly to George and sat down beside him, sat very close to him. "Never you mind," said Slim. "A guy got to sometimes." (6.96)
Tack on another role for Slim: priest. He's essentially absolving George of the sin of murder here, saying that it was the right—i.e., the just—thing to do.
Quote 8
"She slang her pups last night," said Slim. "Nine of 'em. I drowned four of 'em right off. She couldn't feed that many." (2.186)
Slim doesn't sentimentalize the natural world. He knows that the dog can't nurse nine puppies, so he kills five of them to save the others. There's no moral lesson here, unless it's that a man's "gotta," sometimes.

When you hear the word "balm" it should trigger other words in your head like one-for-all, multi-tasking awesomeness, and untouchable. Have you found a balm that does that? I've found great alternatives to even my favorite petrolatum products (like Aquaphor- seems there's nothing it can't do), including Burt's Bees Res-Q Ointment which I discussed here.

Fuerzabruta, the show that relaunched the Roundhouse in 2006, is back – and this exhilarating slice of physical theatre from Diqui James and Gaby Kerpel, co-founders of the Argentine company De La Guarda, seems neatly matched to the moment. Its dazzling acrobatics, wild and throbbing musical soundtrack and topsy-turvy dreamworld speak straight to the senses, making few demands on the struggling post-holiday brain.
But there is a darker undertow to the piece, with its images of human beings hurling themselves at vast billowing sails or smashing up a tiny room in which they are confined. Audience members, blearily back at work, may relate to the central image of a running man who struggles on stoically, through a hail of bullets and bad weather, fighting with furniture that slithers away from him and, most memorably, bursting through walls.
Does it all mean anything? Possibly not, though you can find your own interpretation, perhaps seeing the flailing figures as myth-like beings: the gorgeous women who frolic in a pool of real water just above your head as naiads; the couple trapped either side of a vast spinning sail as star-crossed lovers. There's a playful quality – most evident when two women chase one another around, tumbling like autumn leaves on a glittering, gorgeously lit foil curtain. But there is also a painful yearning here, as these creatures from another world reach towards the audience's outstretched hands.
Above all, this is a sensory experience, with the audience (who stand throughout) showered with water, glitter and tickertape. As the show plays with perspective, it allows you to gaze down on runners and up on swimmers, and encourages you to surrender to an exuberant celebration of human bravado.

Review Roundup: Google Maps for iPhone
Google released a new Maps application for the iPhone last night, and the Internet is going wild over it.
The new application gives iPhone 5 owners and users that upgraded to the newest iPhone operating system an alternative to Apple maps application — which was so bad that Apple CEO Tim Cook had to issue a public apology for it.
The verdict came in quickly: It's superior to Apple Maps, and is already considered the go-to maps application. It rocketed to the top of the Apple App Store and is now the most popular free app after being live for just hours.
Here are what a few tech enthusiasts from around the Web are saying:
David Pogue, New York Times: "You can sense the new app's polish and intelligence the minute you enter your first address; it's infinitely more understanding. When I type "200 W 79, NYC," Google Maps drops a pin right where it belongs: on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Apple's Maps app, on the other hand, acts positively drunk."
Nathan Olivarez-Giles, Wired: "The wait is finally over. Google Maps is in Apple's App Store, available for both the iPhone and iPad, bringing hope to those who have been having trouble getting around since the Apple mapocalypse."
Rafat Ali, Skift: "Our long national nightmare is over: Google Maps app for iPhone is now live. Really solid effort from Google, and a collective sigh of relief from all of us lost souls."
John Fingas, Engadget: "Yes, if you're wondering, the major checklist features that users have wanted are here… We only had a limited opportunity to try on short notice, but it covers the vital navigation properly and brings in Google's very natural-sounding voices from the Google Search app and Google Now for Android users running Jelly Bean. We'd pick it over Nokia Here in most cases, and usually Apple Maps. We'll admit that Apple's solution is easier on the eyes, but accuracy trumps prettiness (and occasional at-a-glance readability) any day."
Matt Buchanan, Buzzfeed FWD: "The notion that "Google is getting better at design faster than Apple is getting better at web services" has huge implications, and we may well be about to cross the threshold where we really get to see exactly what that means."
Dieter Bohn, The Verge: "Compared to Apple's Maps app, Google Maps clearly wins on the data front, with complete mass transit directions and fewer of the accuracy issues that have plagued the built-in app. What's more intriguing is that Google Maps also matches (or beats, depending on your taste) Apple Maps in its speed, design, and overall aesthetics. It's the combination of massive and accurate data with a well-made app that makes Google's offering so compelling."

The Trail (1983)
Submitted by dao_tao on Sat, 09/19/2009 - 16:13
Nice Hk horror comedy, with emphasis on the horror, inspired in part by The Fog, with some nods to The Mummy. Lot's of familiar faces (Kent Cheng, Ricky Hui, Chung Fat). Not much in the way of gore and there's a sprinkling of action throughout. Lot's of atmosphere. Ricky is doing his usual sad-sack, second banana shtick, but he does it well, so no complaints. One of the more under-rated horror comedies from the Eighties New Wave.

Cricketer Virat Kohli to make his Bollywood debut?
Prabhu Deva had recently shot his first ad film with Virat Kohli in Bangkok. Reportedly, Kohli was reluctant to do few dance steps for the ad, but later Prabhu Deva insisted the young cricketer to do few that finally came out really well.
Prabhu Deva was so impressed with Virat Kohli, that the rumours are now doing the rounds that the director now is planning to launch the cricketer in Bollywood. Though nothing has been confirmed as of now, but we wonder, if Kohli would really try his hand in Bollywood or not?

MUMBAI: Fitch Ratings says that the outlook on Indian ABS ratings remains stable despite the prevailing stress in the Indian economy which has translated into deteriorating performance of commercial vehicle (CV) and construction equipment (CE) loans. This is in line with Fitch's negative outlook for these asset classes.
CV loans backing post-2009 vintage transactions reached weighted average of 2.0% within 12 months of closing; for CE loans originated in 2011 the figure was 1.18%. This is in sharp contrast to earlier vintages for both asset classes, where such levels of delinquencies were not recorded until two to three years after closing. However, the outlooks assigned to transactions continue to be stable as delinquencies remain within Fitch's initial expectations.

Gasgoo.com (Shanghai September 1) - Chery's Venezuelan branch has held an initiation ceremony for its new factory in the country's north-central state of Aragua, Gasgoo.com (Chinese) reported today. The event was attended by Minister of Science and Technology Ricardo Menendez and Aragua State Governer Rafael Isea, as well as Head of Chery's global operations Zhou Biren. President Hugo Chávez sent his regards and best wishes via an Internet feed. With the completion of the factory, Chery will become the first manufacturer to gain official certification to assemble Chinese vehicles in the country, as well as the only Chinese manufacturer certified to import vehicles into Venezuela.
The new factory will produce the Chery A1 and A3, and will prove to be an important part in the company's plans to expand in Latin America. Mr. Zhou (pictured below) said that the factory would not only provide consumers with new choices, but help stimulate the local economy by offering new employment opportunities, as well as help strengthen ties between the two countries.
Chery has been active in Venezuela since mid-2006, where its superior design, through aftermarket customer service and low selling price have gained many loyal supporters. Chery's sales reached 3,500 in only its first year in the country, and have been growing ever since. Due to import restrictions, demand for Chery vehicles far outstripped supply.

MUMBAI: A great shift is taking place in the consumption and growth patterns of the world economy. Companies are accepting and adapting to this new world order. Certain product categories are getting saturated in the developed world and new demand is only expected in emerging markets.
Interestingly, almost every company in the world, irrespective of its domicile, wants to tap this new consumer markets to shore up their balance sheets. These days, almost all the Fortune 500 company CEOs talk about Brazil, India, Russia and China as priority markets for their companies.

Generally no formal or special education, experience, or skill is required to qualify to hold the office of a firm's director. But if a director possesses special expertise or knowledge, he or she is expected to employ it to the firm's advantage. In some cases the articles of association of the firm impose a shareholding qualification for the directors which must be complied with.

AbstractThe number of synthetic methods enabling the preparation of ammonium-based rotaxanes has increased very rapidly in the past ten years. The challenge in the synthesis of rotaxanes results from the rather weak interactions between the ammonium-containing rod and the crown ether macrocycle in the pseudorotaxane structure that rely mostly on O•H hydrogen bonds. Indeed, no strong base or polar solvent that could break up H-bonding can be used during the formation of rotaxanes because the two components will separate as two distinct entities. Moreover, most of the reactions have to be performed at room temperature to favor the formation of pseudorotaxane in solution. These non-trivial prerequisites have been taken into account to develop efficient reaction conditions for the preparation of rotaxanes and those are described in detail along this review.
