Highly Recommended By Marcel's Clients...
Everyone was raving about you & the laughter was contagious.
Thanks to Marcel for his interest and enthusiasm regarding our event. It was a pleasure to work with him leading up to the event as well as on the evening. He is approachable and does not place himself on a pedestal as some performers do and I really appreciated that.
Marcel is, in a word, "outstanding". He always amazes, entertains and confounds without hogging the limelight!
Marcel kept the afternoon light with great humour and impressive table-side magic. The guests were laughing and really enjoying his tricks throughout the afternoon. He was also a professional MC and kept everything moving along at a nice pace.
I would recommend Marcel if you're looking for an experienced magician who's great with people. He'll make your event easy and fun!
As a result of using Marcel's presentation services, not only did I have an awesome entertainer, but also an MC, which cut my costs.

ADSL users have possibility to choose between dynamic, private or dynamic public IP address. The choice is done through giving parameters when entering username and logging on our system. The user who wants connection with IP address to be made from the private range, should log on our system as:
username@beotel, and the password is the same as the one used for dial-up system logging.
The user who wants connection with IP address to be made from the public range, should log on our system as:
username/ip@beotel, and the password is the same as the one used for dial-up system logging. Both ways of obtaining IP addresses, naturally have their own advantages and disadvantages, as noticed by many users.
Our recommendation , based on our several years' experience, is to avoid using IP addresses from the public range (as explained above) as much as possible or to use it only in the case of pressing need. The use of ADSL system through NAT protocol is safer and more reliable ,and because of that it is recommended to the customers that are less experienced in the field of protection computers from the Internet abuse.
Anyway, BeotelNet did its best to answer the demands of the customers what resulted in enabling the use of ADSL access not only to the ordinary, but the advanced Internet users.

LeSean McCoy took a handoff at the 1-yard line, danced around two defenders untouched, and made his way to the back of the end zone.
Clay Harbor was the first to greet him. Then came big Danny Watkins, who shared a few words with the running back on the cold December day. And after that, just like after any of his 20 touchdowns last season, McCoy calmly jogged back to the sideline.
But after this touchdown, he brought the football with him. McCoy spun the ball to someone who was waiting for it. A few minutes later, the ball sat on a table with a tag attached to it. It read "#25 TD run 3rd quarter 1yd."

Michael R. Walls Jr., 25, of Deptford is wanted by the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office for failure to appear in Superior Court, Woodbury on Oct. 11 for a pre-sentence interview after pleading guilty to a shoplifting charge.
Walls is five feet, ten inches tall, weighs 140 pounds and has brown hair and brown eyes. Body markings: tattoo left leg (dragon); tattoo right arm (Walls); tattoo right calf (Italian flag); tattoo right forearm.
On Sept. 4, 2010, a Deptford Township police officer responded to a shoplifting report at a Target store. A store loss prevention officer said Walls was observed placing 14 packs of 3D White Strips, valued at $619.92, in a shopping basket and attempting to leave the store without paying for them. Walls was taken into custody and charged.
A Gloucester County grand jury indicted Walls on Jan. 12 on a charge of third-degree shoplifting. He pleaded guilty to the charge on Aug. 26.
Anyone who knows the whereabouts Walls should not attempt to apprehend him. Instead, contact the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office at 856-384-5643 or GCPO Sgt. Barry Johnson at 856-548-5485.

Academic research has an invaluable role to play in supporting strong advocacy and public policy agendas to increase integrity and reduce corruption. National research on these topics is essential to provide a nuanced, contextual understanding of the complex dynamics of integrity and corruption in the MENA region. Researchers as citizens are now moving beyond the walls of the university and policymakers need to be better informed in a language they understand. Connecting local researchers with regional and international counterparts and the engagement of young, upcoming scholars, civil society organisations and policy makers can foster much-needed innovation and help bridge the gap between research, advocacy and public policy. Good quality research is needed to understand corruption, its impact and the ways we can address it, yet this is an area where research can be challenging. An aim of this conference is also to build a community of academics and civil society practitioners to support each other in this research and is the focus of a preliminary academic-researcher workshop. This workshop will provide a forum for academics to present papers to civil society activists, receive their feedback and revise their papers before the conference.
The thematic focus of this conference is Integrity Risks in the Public-Private Interface. The conference aims to consolidate existing knowledge on these topics and foster new research.
It will take a multi-disciplinary approach and invites submissions from a wide variety of fields such as political science, law, business, economics, sociology, public administration, journalism, and philosophy.
Topics included under Integrity Risks in the Public-Private Interface include (but are not limited to):
– Politics and the private sector
– Private sector contributions to political party fundraising, the revolving door (persons holding multiple roles and moving between the public sector to private sector roles)
– Lobbying
– Accessing information on politics and the private sector
– Citizen engagement and oversight in the relationship between the public and private sector
– State decision making and the private sector
– Public procurement, land allocation, licensing and registration
– Oversight bodies and citizen oversight
– State and private sector boundaries
– State-owned enterprises, privatisation and public-private partnerships
– Private sector and the 'absence' of the state
– Informal businesses and informal areas
– Informality and corruption
Conference format
The Integrity Risks in the Public-Private Interface conference is designed to be an interactive meeting place of minds in academia, civil society, the private sector, policy makers and the media. As such, it will be conducted in two stages:
1. Integrity Risks in the Public-Private Interface Workshop (4 November 2013)
The purpose of this workshop is to better connect academics working on integrity, corruption and good governance with practitioners and activists engaged in advocating to strengthen integrity, and enhance learning between the two groups.
Academic scholars will be expected to present a draft of their paper to an audience of academics and civil society activists, who will provide critical feedback and suggestions for strengthening the research.
Academic scholars selected for this workshop will be expected to revise their papers based on the feedback and present their revised papers at the conference.
2. Integrity Risks in the Public-Private Interface Conference (4-5 December 2013)
This 2 day conference will bring together academics, civil society members, policy makers, the private sector and the media to discuss integrity in the public-private interface in an academic setting.
Conference Language
The working languages for the conference will be Arabic and English. Abstracts should be submitted in one or both of the two working languages. Simultaneous interpretation will be provided.
To apply
Please submit an individual abstract or a panel proposal to email@example.com before 2 September 2013.
Individual abstracts should be approx. 400 words long. This should be accompanied by:
- Examples of recent, published works
For those wishing to also attend the November Workshop, please indicate this in your application.
While this conference is primarily aimed at Egyptian scholars, other scholars working on or in the Middle East and North Africa on related topics are very welcome to apply. Limited scholarships may be available for selected scholars travelling from outside Egypt, please indicate in your application if you wish to be considered for a scholarship.
Young scholars, including PhD students, are welcome to apply but should include the name of a senior researcher who agrees to supervise their work.

Gregory DeAngelis, of Cranbury, N.J.; Larry Usselman, of Harrisburg; and firstname.lastname@example.com correctly identified this week's Pennsylvania Mystery Species as the prickly pear, or Indian fig.
It's a cactus species that grows throughout the eastern U.S., including all of Pennsylvania. Many field guides do not list it as growing in the deserts and prairies of the West, but on a recent trip to Wyoming I spotted it in many areas.
The prickly pear is a highly edible species. The cactus segments, fruits and seeds are all edible, and chewing the segments can provide emergency water. (Warning: Never consume any wild plant without first making a positive identification with the aid of a knowledgeable expert or at least one quality field guide.

Recreational paddling with Hawaiian Canoe Club
March 8, 2013 - Leah Sherman
I had been in a canoe once before in my life. But the experience had fortunately escaped my conscious thought — until I reached the Hawaiian Canoe Club hale on Sunday morning.
In the previous outing, two of my friends and I had flipped a canoe on a lake one summer during college. The rescue boat had towed the canoe to shore and left us to swim.
So, suddenly I wasn't feeling too sure about attempting recreational outrigger paddling, which the club does every Sunday.
I arrived early (as I tend to do) and found just one HCC member there, a very friendly man named Rick. He found me the right-sized paddle and filled me in on some of the terminology of outrigger paddling as we walked toward the club's many canoes (wa'a). Rick showed me (while still on solid ground) how to enter and exit the canoe and gave me some paddling tips.
I have no doubt that my face still had a look of unease at that point, but he reassured me that the beginners use the double-hulled canoe.
During my mini-lesson, other paddlers arrived, including former Maui News Staff Writer Kekoa Enomoto and her husband, Ed, who runs the Sunday sessions. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming.
When it came time to launch the canoes, it was a team effort, with everyone helping carry the vessels — which are a lot heavier than I expected — to the water. The experienced paddlers took off in the six-person canoes, while myself and the other newbies (there were a total of eight), Coach Don and a boy learning to be a steersman headed over to the double-hulled canoe, which seats up to 12.
That thing looked really sturdy. And I hopped in a seat toward the back just as Rick had shown me. Coach Don gave us a few instructions and out we headed toward the breakwater. Our timing wasn't so good. And, despite the fact that someone was calling it out, I was having trouble switching my paddle at the same time as the others. But, all of a sudden, there we were at the edge of the harbor looking at the wide-open ocean.
I was grateful that was as far as we going, though.
We turned around and headed back to shore. Once there, Coach Don tried moving us to different seats in the canoe. Turns out it is not so easy to get in the front of the canoe when you're only 5-foot-3, the canoe is even with your shoulder and the water is up to your waist. I tried to pull myself in twice before one of my boatmates helped me out by lifting my legs and flinging me into the boat. It was far from graceful. Once I was back in the boat, we did a few more paddling drills and then we were done.
And just like that, my second-ever canoe experience was over.
Kekoa told me that it takes just three paddling sessions to become addicted. I do not doubt it. I really enjoyed my time of the water.
Hawaiian Canoe Club hosts recreational paddling every Sunday. The boats launch at 7:30 a.m. from the beach fronting the group's hale at Hoaloha Park in Kahului and return around 9 a.m. Novice paddlers are always welcome, and the first outing is free. (All paddlers are required to sign a waiver form, which is available at the hale on Sunday mornings.) The club provides paddles and canoes. A potluck breakfast is held on the first Sunday of each month.
I missed out on the potluck because I had to go to work, but it looked delicious and I was definitely hungry after my time on the water.
Hawaiian Canoe Club Executive Director Kaimana Brummel had emailed me an invitation to try the group's outing. You'd be wise to take her recommendation to wear "something you don't mind getting wet in (surf shorts, spandex pants, a rash guard top, etc.) and bring a bottle of water. I also recommend a towel and dry clothes to change into."
A quick Google search shows that at least two other canoe clubs on the island offer recreational paddling — Kihei Canoe Club and Maui Canoe Club. See their websites (links at right) for more information. For more on Hawaiian Canoe Club, see the group's website (link at right), call 893-2124 or send email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Agnes C. Burke, a Grays Ferry neighborhood fixture who lived all of her 100 years on 29th Street and spent her days gardening and cleaning the sidewalks, died Friday, Oct. 19, at St. Monica Manor in South Philadelphia.
According to her daughter Kathy White, Ms. Burke was celebrated by radio station KYW as one of "40 Local Legends of Philadelphia" in 2006.
Ms. Burke, a widow and mother of three, would spend 35 to 40 hours each week sweeping the sidewalks and picking up trash.
City Council issued a proclamation this year acknowledging Ms. Burke's dedication to her neighborhood. And in 2007, she was named Grays Ferry Community Council Person of the Year.

Lil Wayne rapping with Jennifer Lopez, Limp Bizkit, Nicki Minaj on new songs
Lil Wayne isn't one of the biggest MCs in the game for nothing -- the man stays busy. This week news has been swirling around two guest appearances from Weezy on new efforts from Jennifer Lopez and Limp Bizkit, while Nicki Minaj has confirmed she'll be guest on the hit rapper's forthcoming full-length.
The newly crowned "American Idol" judge had a chat with her fans over the weekend and included the news of her next big track after "On the Floor."
"My next single I believe will be a song called 'I'm Into You' and it's going to feature Lil Wayne, so look out for that," Lopez wrote.
No word yet when that track drops, though it will purportedly arrive when current No. 1 iTunes single "On the Floor" dies down on the charts. Her album "Love?" has no drop date either, though Lopez is aiming for a late spring appearance.
Then there's Limp Bizkit. Frontman Fred Durst revealed via Twitter that the rap-rock band will release two albums this year, with "Gold Cobra" out "before the end of the summer." He says that the 16th track that's been mixed for the set, "Ready to Go," will feature Lil Tunechi. Wu-Tang's Raekwon will also be guesting on the set.
"Ready to Go" will mark yet another endeavor into rock for the "Rebirth" artist.
And then Nicki Minaj chimed in yesterday, telling MTV she'd turned in a verse for something on Wayne's much-anticipated "Tha Carter IV."
""I think 'Carter IV' is gonna just be exceptional, of course," Minaj said. "I think Wayne is definitely on his grind crazy right now. But yep, my 'Carter IV' verse has been handed in officially."
She also mentioned she'd by rhyming on something she'd recorded with Birdman.
Minaj, of course, is in Lil Wayne's Young Money crew and topped the Billboard 200 earlier this year with "Pink Friday."
Lil Wayne is kicking off his I Am Music 2 tour this week; you can check out all dates here.

By Paul G. Kengor
"If there be (no virtue among us), we are in a wretched situation."
— James Madison
This isn't a year for complaints about the Pittsburgh Pirates. So, forgive me while I complain not about the Pirates but a certain element of Pirates fans. This "element" is not unique to Pirates fans; it's symptomatic of many fans nationwide and, sadly, our culture and nation at large.
I'm prompted by a recent piece in the sports section of The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, accompanied by a photo.
The photo captured St. Louis Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday being taunted, mocked and jeered by Pirates fans after a ball bounced off his glove and into the bleachers, giving Andrew McCutchen a home run.
The image is ugly: children, men, women, young and old, faces contorted, making hand gestures and hissing at Holliday.
They appear in all shapes and sizes, skinny and fat, barefaced and unshaven — united in their nastiness. Other than their vitriol, the one thing they share is that not one could have caught the ball Holliday chased down, certainly not without tripping like fools into the left field wall. For that matter, none could hit a ball like Holliday.
It reminded me of hecklings past. I've never forgotten a moment when a college roommate unloaded on an innocent member of the opposing team's bullpen at Three Rivers Stadium. The poor pitcher had done nothing other than sit with a visible name on his jersey. That was enough for my roommate to unleash himself on this fellow's character. The unsuspecting ballplayer did his best to ignore the unmerited insults. My buddy kept it up: "Hey, (name deleted), you (expletive deleted)!" I told him to knock it off.
I recall a later game my wife and I attended. A young Hunter Pence was in right field for the Astros. An unattractive threesome decided to have some "fun." Pretending to applaud Pence and cheer him on, they got his cheerful attention. Once they did, the bile flowed. A stunned Pence was unsure how to react. Even crueler were the fans observing the spectacle. They laughed and joined in, relishing the wretched display.
I felt bad for Pence. He was green, unseasoned in assimilating the hate that athletes must endure with heroic virtue in the onslaught of vicious fans harboring no virtue at all.
In the end, it really comes down to that — virtue vs. vice.
To overflow with vice is to be vicious. That's what I too often see at the ballpark. Certain fans can be not only mean but craven. Imagine the cowardice: The fan is unrestrained. So long as he doesn't physically assault the much stronger ballplayer, his behavior is largely unchecked by authorities or conscience.
The ballplayer, however, must instantly become a paragon of virtue, turning the other cheek and enduring a litany of barbs from vulgarians slopping down beers and choking down hotdogs and nachos.
If he dares to react in the way he ought to be forgiven for reacting, he will find himself attacked not just by the protected cowards who couldn't hit a curveball but by ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Twitter and every sports show in America. That athletes don't react, or do so only rarely, is an extraordinary testament to their character.
"Each new generation," says John Howard, senior fellow at the Howard Center for Family, Religion, & Society, "must be trained to be virtuous." Unfortunately, laments Howard, society today "is such that becoming virtuous is a monstrous chore."
When virtues are not inculcated — at home, at school, in media and in popular culture — they lay desiccated upon the national landscape and we are in a wretched situation. The ballpark is no exception.
Paul Kengor is professor of political science at Grove City College and the executive director of The Center for Vision & Values. This piece first appeared in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

As part of our ongoing look at our opponents throughout the season, not only in football we bring you our latest edition of Opposition Q&A as we look forward to our Las Vegas Invitational matchup against fellow Top 25 team, Creighton on Friday.
We sat down the folks over at Creighton site The BlueJay Cafe to get a better understanding of just what's in front of Wisconsin on the day after Thanksgiving, so enjoy the knowledge dropped by our friends over there.
MTB: Everyone knows about Doug McDermott & what he can bring to the table, but to be ranked 14th you have to be more than a one trick pony, who else should we be paying attention to?
BlueJay Cafe: The thought that Creighton is just Doug McDermott is wrong and nationally, folks will learn this soon. Sure, he's the headliner and if you fail to game plan for him, he has the ability to drop 30 on you but the Jays are loaded this year. I've covered the team for 8 years and this is by far the deepest team I've ever seen for CU.
…. more after the jump…
Gregory Echenique is a Top 100 recruit who went to Rutgers before transferring to Creighton. He has played for the Venezuelan National Team for the past two years as their starting center. He's 6'9 and a lean 260. So far this year, he is 17 for 20 from the field (85%). He's a BCS-level post player, which is rare in the MVC.
Grant Gibbs is the man that makes it all go for CU on offense. He's the best passer on the team and the emotional leader. He transferred back home to the Midwest after originally going to Gonzaga. Gibbs will play the point if Sophomore Austin Chatman struggles on Friday.
Ethan Wragge is the key to this game in my opinion. He is the best shooter on the team and has been red-hot to start the year, hitting 64% from distance.
MTB: What do you see as being the key matchup that Creighton has to win to be victorious on Friday?
BlueJay Cafe: I think the 3-point shooting will be the key for CU against Wisconsin. The Badgers will slow everything down and try to keep this game in the 60's. Creighton wants this game in the 70's or 80's. Wisconsin will pack it in and double Doug and Gregory IMO. That will leave open shots from beyond the arc. Wragge, Avery Dingman, Grant Gibbs, and Jahenns Manigat have to knock down open jumpers to free up Doug and Gregory inside. Rebounding will also be a major key. The Jays must be no worse than even in that category.
MTB: I know it's early in the season and all, but who's been the most surprising and most disappointing player for you so far?
BlueJay Cafe: Most impressive has been Gregory Echenique. He has been so dominant on the post that it has made up for a slow start from Doug. Gregory is the reigning Missouri Valley Defensive Player of the Year but he turned up his defense to a new level. His shot blocking and rim protection is outstanding right now.
Most disappointing so far as been starting 2-guard Jahenns Manigat. He is battling a thigh injury but he hasn't been a factor in any of the 4 games played so far.
MTB: I've had the pleasure of meeting Greg McDermott on a few occasions during his time at Iowa State & always came away personally impressed, how has he fit in to the Creighton family?
BlueJay Cafe: Coach McDermott is at home in Omaha. When the call came that Dana Altman was finally going to stay gone from Creighton (remember Arkansas) and go to Oregon, the first coach I said out loud for the job was Greg McDermott. At the time, I was working in Des Moines and knew that Iowa State fans were ready to see Coach Mac move on. But Valley people remembered his run at UNI and knew he was meant to be at the non-BCS level. He is a family oriented coach, obviously even more so now with Doug on campus, but Creighton's players love him. He understands what it takes to win at this level and loves to find student-athletes who want to stay in school for 4 years. It could not have been a better hire by Athletics Director Bruce Rasmussen.
MTB: Most interesting to me is that McDermott coached ISU teams struggled to score points, that hasn't been the case at all as you rank 22nd nationally in points per game and rank 7th in AdjO according to KenPom.com. What's changed for him offensively?
BlueJay Cafe: At Iowa State, Coach Mac tried to go a touch uptempo but with a set structure of plays. At UNI, he never dared. I asked him style-of-play questions at length when he got the job because Creighton fans had seen Dana Altman's inability to be flexible in today's game work against him at times. He kept saying that he wanted to coach to his team's strengths. Antoine Young, who just graduated, was the point guard at the time of hiring and he did not enjoy running a ton of sets. At Iowa State, Coach Mac had over 100 plays that he would run. Young's presence made it smarter to go run-and-gun. Thus, the new Creighton offense was born. Now, CU recruits to the new system and the players love it. They look to score fast at every opportunity that they get and new point guard Austin Chatman is one of the fastest players in the Valley with the ball in his hands.
MTB: Prediction time…. If you dare?
BlueJay Cafe: Prediction. 70-68 Creighton

MauiGrown Coffee is winding down on another successful harvest season, and the company president is bullish on the future.
"It's exciting to see how far we've come since the first coffee field trials were conducted in the state of Hawaii," said Kimo Falconer, president of MauiGrown Coffee, in a news release.
He attributed the success to the varietal approach to coffee, innovative coffee growing and processing methods and a strong demand locally and nationally for the company products.

The Rev. Phillip Kaina blesses the new Maui Lani 76 and Mako's Mart in the Maui Lani Village Center last month.
Working with the University of Hawaii College of Tropical Agriculture & Human Resources in 1988, Pioneer Mill participated in field trial experimentation with more than 23 coffee varietals in different test plots throughout the major Hawaiian Islands.
As a result of this trial, four coffee Arabica varietals were found to be the best match for the growing conditions in West Maui - Yellow Caturra, Red Catuai, Typica and Mokka.
All four varietals were planted; it was "cutting edge" at the time to plant multiple varieties on a farm, Falconer said.
"Today, this varietal approach is industry practice," he said. "Much like fine wine being distinguished by varietals, so too gourmet coffee is offering the consumer many cup profiles from a single coffee estate."
The company's processing methods and timing of picking are also contributing to the company's success, he said.
In fall 2012, Maui Mokka was chosen by Starbucks Coffee to be included in its Starbucks Reserve Coffee product line, as well as being served in select Starbucks Clover stores.
Self-guided tours of Maui Grown Coffee's estate in Kaanapali are available.

*Maui campaigns. Bill Snipes and Tina Gomes have been elected as chairman and vice chairwoman respectively of the Hawaii Campaign Spending Commission. They are the first Mauians to hold either posts, a news release about their appointments said.
The commission oversees statewide elections.
According to the Campaign Spending Commission website, Snipes is a private mediator. He had a 25-year career as an attorney in the U.S., Hong Kong and Singapore.
Gomes is an independent consultant specializing in data research and collection, statistical analysis, design study, and reports and presentations. She has assisted on various projects from substance abuse in troubled teens to the needs of elder care.
She is a former educator at Lahainaluna High School and a summer school instructor for Kamehameha Schools Maui.
*New gas station. The Maui Lani 76 and Mako's Mart in the Maui Lani Village Center was blessed last month.
Jim Yates, president and chief executive officer of Mid Pac Petroleum, the owners of the facilities, and Bob Kern, director of operations, were on hand for the blessing.
Mid Pac Petroleum operates six of 72 licensed 76 stations in the state. The company is a Hawaii-based petroleum marketer and distributor and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Koko'oha Investments Inc. and Grace Pacific Corp., its website said.
*Hana publishers. Hana publishers. A book published by Koa Books in Hana has won a Benjamin Franklin Silver Finalist Award for popular fiction by the Independent Book Publishers Association.
The book, "Daughters of Fire," was written by Tom Peek of Volcano, the Big Island. The awards from the nonprofit trade group in the U.S. book industry, recognizes excellence and innovation in independent publishing, a news release from Koa Books said.
More than a decade in its research and writing, Peek's book picks up Hawaii's story where James Michener left off with his "Hawaii."
"Daughters of Fire" is the 12th work from Koa Books, which was founded on Maui in 2005 by Arnie Kotler, who was publisher and editor of Parallax Press in Berkeley, Calif., from 1985 to 1999.

1 • Chapter 0 = The Analytical Process You should read this chapter. • Chapter 1= Chemical Measurements Section 1-1: SI Units and Prefixes You should know this material. Section 1-2: Conversion Between Units You should know this material. Section 1-3: Chemical Concentrations Solution = solute + solvent Solute = minor species in solution. Solvent = major species in solution. Most common solvent in CHM 3120: water. Concentration = amount of solute contained in a given volume or mass of solvent.

2 • Molarity (M) • M is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution M = moles of solute / liters of solution moles of solute = weight of solute (g)/formula weight of solute (g) or moles of solute = mass of solute (g)/formula mass of solute (g) or moles of solute = mass of solute (g)/molecular mass of solute (g) • Example: How many grams of Boric Acid [B(OH)3, FM 61.83] should be used to make 2.00 L of 0.0500M solution? moles of solute = 2.00 L x 0.0500M = 0.1 mol mass of solute = moles of solute x formula mass mass of solute = 0.1 mol x 61.83 g = 6.183 g • Electrolyte An electrolyte dissociates into ions in aqueous solution. A strong electrolyte dissociates almost completely. Example: MgCl2→ Mg+ + MgCl+ After dissociation, 89% exists in the form of Mg2+ and 11% in the form of MgCl+ The molarity of a strong electrolyte is referred to as Formal Concentration (F) to indicate that the substance is really converted into other species in solution.
3 A weak electrolyte is partially split into ions in solution. Example: Acetic Acid, CH3CO2H Note: If you dissolve 0.01000 mol of acetic acid in 1.000L, you will have: a 0.01000 F solution or a 0.00959M solution Why? because 4.1% is dissociated into CH3CO2- (acetate ion) and 95.9% remains as CH3CO2H. Nonetheless, we usually say that the solution is 0.01M and understand that some of the acid is dissociated

4 • Molality (m) • m is the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent (not solution!) • The advantage of molality over molarity is that molality does not change with temperature. • The molarity of a solution changes with temperature because the volume of solution changes with temperature. • Percent Composition • It is usually expressed as weight percent (wt%) • wt% = [mass of solute / mass of total solution or mixture] x 100 • Converting weight percent into molarity • Example: Find the molarity of HCl in a reagent labeled "37.0 wt% HCl, density = 1.188g/mL". 37.0 wt% = There are 37.0 g of HCl in 100 g of reagent density = 1.188g/mL = allows us to calculate the volume of 100 g of reagent density (g/mL) = mass (g) / volume (mL) volume (mL) = mass (g) / density (g/mL) volume = 100 g / 1.188 g/mL = 84.1 mL
5 We know that: M = moles of solute / volume of solution in liters Moles of solute = mass of solute (g) / formula mass of solute (g) Formula mass of HCl = 36.46 g/mol Mass of solute = 37 g Volume of solution = 84.1 mL = 84.18 x 10-3 L Substituting these values

I can honestly say that I'm not one of those parents who tries to live vicariously through his children. I don't get caught up in the competitive spirit of my kids' activities, and I don't insist than they inherit my interests. While I want and encourage my children to succeed at the things they do, my own sense of self-worth isn't tied to how well or poorly they perform.
When an activity comes up that requires some parental guidance, I try my best to maintain a minimal footprint in my role because I've always had a fear of becoming one of those parents who essentially takes over their children's projects to ensure a favorable outcome. It's not always easy to remain disciplined, even for a guy like me, but I think it's important that kids learn to do things for themselves.
Once a year, however, I'm put to the test. Every February, my son's Cub Scout pack holds its pinewood derby.
The purpose of creating and racing a pinewood derby car is stated quite clearly in official scouting documentation: "To help the Cub Scout build a team relationship with their parent or helper, experience the sense of accomplishment and the excitement of competition, learn Win/Lose good sportsmanship, and to have fun. "
All of that stuff is great, and for those reasons, I think the activity is very beneficial to boys. It seems like it should be a great father/son bonding experience, but the truth is that it's actually kind of stressful.
My son always feels a good of amount of pressure on him to produce a quality product. That pressure doesn't come from me. It comes from the very first experience he had with the pinewood derby, two years ago.
My son hadn't been in the scouts all that long at the time, and when he showed up for race-day with a wooden car that clearly looked to have been designed and crafted by a seven year-old boy (which he was), he was blown away by how inferior it seemed in comparison to all of the other kids' cars.
His was shaped like a stock car from the 1980's that might have spent its twilight years competing in demolition derbies at rodeos. Everyone else's looked like expertly carved, miniature replicas of actual Formula One cars driven by Mario Andretti.
His was hand-painted with two colors that lacked symmetry in how they were applied to each side. Everyone else's looked to be professionally painted, with multiple tones and glossy finishes you could see your own reflection in.
I was pretty confident that this was not the work of my son's peers, and part of me wanted to lay a sarcastic sneer upon the other fathers to let them know that they weren't fooling anyone.
But there was no time for that. My son and I quickly realized that we hadn't grasped the importance of weight and weight-distribution in making pinewood derby cars move fast. His car was far too light to stand a chance, as we learned when he came in dead last in a practice race.
Someone helped us quickly glue rows of plated weights to the bottom of the car, but in the end it didn't help much because everyone else had already strategically weighted their cars, in the right spots along the body, to the maximum limit. The result was my son's car finishing last in practically every race.
I'll never forget how sad he was that day.
Since then, we've taken the annual project more seriously, working hard to achieve that proper mix of style and substance. In doing so, however, I feel like something has been lost: My son's sense of ownership.
As much as he wants to take the lead in creating the car, he lacks confidence in his abilities and is worried that he just won't do a good enough job. After all, there's some pretty stiff competition to contend with. Thus, he wants me to take care of the harder stuff for him. I reluctantly do, but before long, he tends to get frustrated and complains that I'm doing too much. This of course makes me feel exactly the way I didn't want to feel - as though I've stolen his thunder.
Who would have thought a simple father/son activity could be so trying?
In the end, we get the job done and feel generally good about the results. But I still don't think my son recognizes the achievement as his own, and that's a shame, because he really does put a lot of work into it.
At least he has fun at the derby these days, now that he no longer finishes in last place. And that's certainly a good thing.

EAST LIVERPOOL-Spring cleaning in East Liverpool is serious business.
What started 18 years ago as a way to dispose of hazardous household waste has turned into a citywide event with a name and a growing roster of sponsors.
CitySweep 2014 will unite a host of organizations on April 26 toward a common goal, Mayor James Swoger said. "What it does is it cleans up our town," he said.

Started in 1997 by Heritage Thermal Services (then WTI), CitySweep is a way for East Liverpool residents to dispose of their household waste-hazardous and non-hazardous-and for downtown businesses to clean up their storefronts, officials said.
Public and private sector leaders gathered at Swoger's office on Friday to announce details about the cleanup event, including ways that it will be expanded this year.
New elements of CitySweep include a drug take-back program and a storefront cleanup initiative in downtown East Liverpool, officials said.
"It's a tremendous project, so I encourage everyone to take advantage of it," Swoger said.
The core event of CitySweep is the collection of household hazardous wastes, old electronics and, for the first time, unused pharmaceuticals at Heritage Thermal Services, 1250 St. George St., from 8 a.m. to noon April 26.
"Since our first collection in 1997, we have recycled and disposed of more than 121 tons of household chemical wastes and old electronic goods that otherwise would have been tossed in the trash or dumped into the local water supply," said Christy Pease, administrative services analyst at Heritage.
Up to 10 gallons or 25 pounds of household waste per vehicle will be accepted, including household cleaners, lawn and garden chemicals, pool chemicals, aerosol cans and antifreeze, paint and paint products, solvents, batteries, light bulbs, computer components, TVs and unused/expired pharmaceuticals.
Members of Heritage's Relay for Life team will be there to collect old cellphones, which either will be recycled or refurbished for resale, Pease said.
During the collection, Heritage will distribute $5,000 in grants for qualifying environmental projects and announce the winners of the third annual environmental essay contest.
"Since the program began in 1998, more than 100 organizations have received more than $62,000 in grants," Pease said.
Also participating in the drug take-back program are the East Liverpool Police Department and the East Liverpool City Hospital's Pharmacy Department. Residents will be able to drop off their unused medications simply by pulling up to the hospital on the day of CitySweep, said Karen Reaggle, certified pharmacy technician at ELCH.
The hospital also will accept mercury thermometers and replace them with digital ones, Reaggle said.
The city is participating in CitySweep through the police department, the street department, and the refuse and recycling department. Non-hazardous household waste will be accepted at the East End Car Barn, 1253 Pennsylvania Ave., from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 26.
Appliances will be accepted at the Car Barn as long as they do not contain freon, said Ryan Estell, city service-safety director.
Downtown members of the Southern Columbiana County Regional Chamber of Commerce will be asked to participate in CitySweep by removing "earth related" materials-rocks, leaves, road salt, etc.-from their storefronts and putting the refuse in the street. From 4-6 p.m. April 26, city street sweepers will come by and remove it, said Todd Alexander, president of the Chamber of Commerce board of directors.
Assisting with CitySweep will be East Liverpool High School students, as well as students and faculty from Kent State University-East Liverpool.

Can you tell the difference between the track of a beaver and a duck?
Can you identify by feel alone the tail of a squirrel or a mink?
Can you identify a fox or bear just by feeling a bit of their fur?
It's likely that some of the Grand Island School District's children in kindergarten through sixth grade can do all those things, thanks to a program offered at the Eco Island Nature Center.
The center – unique among local school districts – offers instruction designed to enhance students' science classes by affording them a hands-on opportunity to get up close and personal with wildlife and plant life.
"The original plan was for the kids to get to know more about the plants and animals of Grand Island," said Dianne Tiede, center coordinator since 1990. "As the curriculum became more demanding, we created things that would enhance that curriculum."
Retiring in 2008 after 30 years as an elementary school teacher, Tiede has been the main force behind the center, which is financed by the school district. She works at the center three days a week. On the other two days, teachers – who have immersed themselves in a thick instruction manual devised by Tiede – are on their own with their classes.
In the 2011-12 school year, the center hosted 75 classes for two hours each. That encompasses 1,756 students, Tiede said.
Classes are tailored to what students are currently studying, such as food chains or animal classifications. Tiede arranges the schedule, which she said fills fast with reservations.
The center, housed in a former Nike Base on Staley Road next to the district's Buildings & Grounds Department, has evolved immensely in scope since Tiede first began bringing her classes there in 1986.
"We had just one room then with pictures of plants and birds on the wall," she said. Gradually the exhibits grew into several rooms with themes like forest and ponds.
"My husband, Mark, and I have traveled to a lot of nature centers around the United States," said Tiede. "That's where I got a lot of the ideas we used to establish the center."
Much of it has been done on a shoestring budget by volunteers, including teachers and Grand Island graduates, who used their talents to, among other things, paint nature themes on murals and furnishings. Some exhibits, including a series of bird houses, were done as Eagle Scout projects. The wildlife – including hawks, deer, foxes, coyotes and owls – was donated. Some came from hunters; others were accident victims before being sent to the taxidermist. The center got state and federal permits where required.
Tiede singled out the district's Buildings & Grounds staff for their assistance.
"They are very talented. I get an idea, sketch it out and they create it. You couldn't buy this stuff," she said.
One of their projects is the "Feel-It Box," which has eight slots containing various things like a rabbit's foot, a raccoon tail, or a turtle's shell. Students thrust a hand through a rubber slit and have three guesses at what they're feeling before entering their answers on a test sheet.
Nearby is a large square box filled with dirt in which students can make the tracks of various animals using molds of their paws or feet. On the wall are inked imprints of those tracks.
On a recent day, Susan Andrews' kindergarten students from Sidway Elementary School paid rapt attention as Tiede counted the toes – five – on one track and asked which animal they thought it was.
"Raccoon," called out one child who was proven correct as Tiede lifted a flap to reveal a photo of the creature.
"We have five toes," said Tiede, " so now you'll remember which animal is like us."
"The hands-on approach is fantastic for the kids. They get to feel each animal, and they really love it," said Andrews, who brings her class to the center three times a year.
As students moved from room to room, they were accompanied by parents and grandparents who volunteered their time to assist Tiede and the teacher. Some of those adults recalled visiting the center as students themselves, making it a multigenerational experience.
The center also includes a nature trail, pond, butterfly and flower gardens and a picnic shelter built by BOCES students. And Tiede recently added some trees from private donors.
The school district uses the center only during the school year. The town utilizes the site as part of a three-week youth summer camp.
Eco Island might be relocated into the area that now houses the Buildings & Grounds Department, which is slated to move to new quarters behind Sidway Elementary. Those plans depend on voters approving the proposed $6.3 million transportation complex in a Dec. 18 referendum.
"Whenever I got something [for the center], I figured a way to fit it in," said Tiede. Speculating on the possible relocation, she looked around her and, tilting her head in thought, said: "It'll all be moved, but I think it'll probably look different."

I Remember!
Never Again
By Alemayehu G. Mariam
On June 6-8 and November 1-4, 2005, following the Ethiopian parliamentary elections in May of that year, hundreds of citizens who protested the theft of that election were killed or seriously wounded by police and security personnel under the exclusive command and control of the late Meles Zenawi. An official Inquiry Commission established jointly by Meles Zenawi and the Ethiopian parliament documented that 193 unarmed men, women and children demonstrating in the streets and scores of other detainees held in a high security prison were intentionally shot and killed by police and security officials. An additional 763 were wounded.
The Commission completely exonerated the victims and pinned the entire blame on the police and paramilitary forces. The Commission concluded, "There was no property destroyed [by protesters]. There was not a single protester who was armed with a gun or a hand grenade as reported by the government-controlled media that some of the protesters were armed with guns and bombs. [The shots fired by government forces] were not intended to disperse the crowd but to kill by targeting the head and chest of the protesters."
[Important Note: The Commission's list of 193 victims includes only those deaths that occured on June 6-8 and November 1-4, 2005, the specific dates the Commission was authorized to investigate. It is believed the Commission has an additional list of victims of extra-judicial killings by government security forces which it did not publicly report because the killings occured outside the dates the Commission was authorized to investigate.]

On 11/11/11, Yenesew Gebre, a 29 year-old Ethiopian school teacher and human rights activist set himself ablaze outside a public meeting hall in the town of Tarcha located in Dawro Zone in Southern Ethiopia. He died three days later from his injuries. Before torching himself, Yenesew told a gathered crowd outside of a meeting hall, "In a country where there is no justice and no fair administration, where human rights are not respected, I will sacrifice myself so that these young people will be set free."
I remember...
"I remember the killers, I remember the victims, even as I struggle to invent a thousand and one reasons to hope. Because I remember, I despair. Because I remember, I have the duty to reject despair. Hope is possible beyond despair."
Elie Wiesel, Holocaust Survivor and Nobel Peace Laureate
For a complete list of victims released by the official Inquiry Commission investigating the post-2005 election violence, see: http://www.abbaymedia.com/pdf/list_of_people_shot.pdf
For additional source of data on massacre victims, including prisoners, see Testimony of Yared Hailemariam, Ethiopian Human Rights Defender,"CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY IN ETHIOPIA: THE ADDIS ABABA MASSACRES OF JUNE AND NOVEMBER 2005" before the EXTRAORDINARY JOINT COMMITTEE MEETING THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT COMMITTEES ON DEVELOPMENT AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS, AND SUB-COMMITTEE ON HUMAN RIGHTS May 15, 2006.
The senile old man almaria run out of articles or his decayed mentality gave up on him to write any new ideas or couldn't find any crying materials. So he sorted out to pull out some lamentation from his old files.
Looks like he is suffering from dementia. He said I R E M E M B E R¿o¿o
The blood of these inocent, true citizense not yet dry in the drain. The mercenary who orchestrated this massacre paied the price by the hands of God.
But very sad , you and others like you are still alive ,with a big mouth. You are trying to look you cares, have you tried to help one of their families. praise to God you have no body in politics.We are tired of you.
The Monday stinky shit of Aram-Mariam.
aye prof aremariam
its sad those people have to die they died again when their names beind draged to the mud by you and your kinds who their goal is just to get attension
please find another hoby we etopians are not gone fight against each other so you can watch us on tv and and laugh with your white handlers.
try like peaceful way to get attention like pamela or britney show your —— you might get watchers in nursing homes seniors places.
Thank you professor!!! These men and women are patriots who died for Ethiopia. Their names lives with us forever and they are in history books for coming generations. For woyane and thier cadres, hearing this names send them a shiver in their skins, and these names keep'em awake at night as long as they live.
Long live Ethiopia!!!
Adgi and Extrapente the "Daily Stinky Shit" bandas…LOL !!! You
and your Thuggy bros are really suffering of loose of memories .History has never stoped from your usual crying "Hawzen" ,your criminal blood sucker dead master with his Agazis has comitted 1000th
Hawzens in the whole part of the country .Eventhough the UN disillusioned
US ignorant diplomat to the Yohanes Aramde Addicted stupid banda diasporas were denying the naked facts .TPLF with affilated bandas is a criminal Mafia Firm that ought to be eradicated for the sake of the Ethiopian Peoples and the regional stability .ayanawtaw what the hell are you talking about when you dare to vomit such stinky word "we etopians are not gone fight against each other " that means for you that your murderer bandits agazi bros must be spared .KEEP ON DREAMING LEKAMMI WUSHA BANDA !!!!!
R.I.P. all innocent victims( husband,wife,sons,daughter,mother and father.)I wish a single life were not lost.If the writer aim had been to honor the victims and keep their memory alive,to be aware and to keep such a thing from happening again he should not have forgotten about the thousand of innocent people who were murdered by opposition groups in ogaden,oromiya,amhara,gambella and other part of the country.You too have not forgotten.May God truly bless the souls of those innocent people who rest in the ground of all part of Ethiopia.
Poetry for innocent victims ( by unknown writer):
What turns men into killing machines,
That blow apart lives and destroy innocent dreams?
Look into the eyes of a child and may the pain that you see,
Haunt you as much as it haunts me.
Feel the pain of the child who has lost a limb,
Can you explain the reasons for this to him?
Or the little girls weeping beside her dead mother,
While the others try to save her brother.
Look at the orphans that this conflict did create,
And you'll see another generation will learn how to hate.
For as a heartbroken child cries in the still of the night,
He dreams of the day when revenge he will fight.
The tagays spent most of our adult life fighting wars. All we know how to do is how to kill and we attribute all the success we got in life to plain old war game.
If anyone whether civilian, soldier, opposition, rebel and so on gets in our way we go to the only thing we know best i.e. armed fighting. Some of us are still wishing the war with Mengistu was not over so we get to continue the guerrilla fighting.The fighting we know best.We miss our hub in Sudan where we used to hide from Mengistu,we miss how when derg thinks we were finished then we come out from Sudan and surprise attack the unsuspecting soldiers. Samora was good at taking us safe to Sudan and bringing us back undetected right to the soldiers partying.The 2005 protest was designed the same way.It felt good to attack the unsuspecting fools.We will do it anytime again without hesitation if the need arises. We fought to get where we are.We will for sure fight to stay where we are so the next generation gets to advance more and keep their quality of life.
Yes! We remember them! As long as we have hope for democracy and justice our heroes shall be remembered always.
In a country where shabis bombed and massacred innocents school children of Ethiopians and live in in Ethiopia with prosperous and respect by tplf, it seamed our democracy fighter are forgotten for the time being.
But in this upside down of my country things happen but not for long. Justice will be served like it was served for derg. We can not run from justice. If you dont believe me then try the sleepless night in 7 years a row like those police men who shot dead the demonstrators. Either you pray to you gods to make your life short like the one gave order or make the judgment day as short as possible.
Hey Woshwashu ,you mean the goat herder fake general stuffed with Ketffo and Yohanes Aramde plus his
bandit colleagues .After two decades ,these bandits used of the comfort of Addis have already forgotten what's really look like a battle field and even the colour of AK47 rifles…LOL !!!
of course you remember them! you sent them to their death to bring down the regime for you. their family and the rest remember too!
Thank you Professor Alemayehu for the grim reminder. Indeed it was one of the "Sad Days" of Ethiopian history.
These martyrs for our beloved motherland will have their sacrifce paid tenfold by the Genuine Ethiopians. We will never ever forget the blood that was shed by the Tyrant Looting TPLF group.
When such sad news is reminisced those whose job is to "Worship TPLF" are here with their usual "insults". If they can refute the great professor's article with some fact-based arguement, it would have been a lot better.
Since they can't do such intellectual blogging all they come up with is redicule, blasphemy or down right "rudeness".
When we see such type of blogging we either laugh at these bunch of "Cyber cadres" or pass it without reading.
The People's sacrifice will bear fruit in the very near future!!!
hahahahaha you remember for it was you and your likes who casued the death of these people. Ante agecham. why do not you tabulate it so that their profiles can easily be read? You do not know how to make a table? hahaha
The day those rats were crushed was one of my happiest days. Instead of taking the more than 100 seats they won, they went for the jugular. Aram hula chaka atgebim nebber adame. Tset let bilesh megezat new. Kalhone chakaw tementro sayalk megbat. Endetelemedew Kitshin besanja eyewogan enastedadershalen. Wodedshim telash!
It is a very good thing that Alemayehu and his cohorts remember the people they led to death. If it were not for the cowardly strategy of KINJIT( the then party of Alemayehu and Birhanu) There would not have been this tragedy. When the professor remembers the people he also has to remember the role he played to misguide the people. The professor may try to blame the death of these people on someone but the fact points to his participation in the tragedy. Maybe the professor wrote this list out guilt. It is the professor who encourages people to rise and sacrifice themselves so people like him sit on power. Truly the professor besides living in a democratic country he has nothing democratic about him. I
Yes, I remember the stolen election.
yes, I remember people shot dead like a target practice.( By the way what happened to the shooters?)
Yes, I remember the empty feelings, the grim faces, and the bullet riddled bodies.
I remember the judicial system abuse. I remember the political prisoners who are languishing all over and their families and the feeling we have regarding the process.
I remember the legislatures who look humans but do not act like one.
I remember the hypocrisy, nepotism, and corruption from the bottom to the top.
I remember the ill equipped bureaucracy:
its blindness to the truth,
No spine at all, they looks and feels like the table and chair they use in their fancy office.
Fears their own shadow but always walk in the dark,
Knows that they can go to Khaliti any time if they do not talk the talk or walk the walk('fat wallet Syndrome')
its appeasement policy to the ruling elites,
Making 'decision in the interest of our country' a bad line,
Full of inefficiency and wastefulness,
staffing their fat wallet,
totally ignoring our people and our country.
I remember the table of food with our people hands tied, their mouth shut, and allowed only to smell.
I remember when the word national unity get a bad rap and planting national division for evil purpose became a norm.
Yes, I remember the student leaders in the 60's who were fighting for an absolute right of the people became political leaders and used the same play book from the previous governments to silence their critics.
They found out that:
Power create addiction,
My way or no way is sweeter,
create more lies after lies is the norm and found out that they are not bad at all,
Power looks different when you see it from the top; You always wants to have more and keep it by any means.
Lost is Working together, inclusion, tolerance, uniqueness, respect, humanity, humility and national welfare.
Let us wake up and do the right thing. Let us stop recklesness. Let us come to the center where all can work together.
If you think you are doing a good job as a leader, kudos for you. Leaders are supposed to do just that. Do not expect to get reward if you are genuine. Definitely, you can not build $100 millions birr of property with your $6000 birr salary. It is a foul.
We all have to stop those type of experiments.
this is my five cents.
Take care.
Prof Alemayehu…when are you going to set yourself alight, I hope you will burn yourself one day. I don understand why you try to capitalize on the death of a poor Ethiopian named Yenesew Gebre. If committing suicide can make a change let the professor who lived above the average life expectancy of an Ethiopia commit suicide.
This good for nothing professor keep on encouraging others to pay sacrifice for the nation hiding behind his PC. kkk this is hypocrisy, if the professor has the ball he needs to go out and challenge the regime face to face, there is no need to hide in USA and spread hate propaganda.
I wonder how Ayatollah Alemayehu Gebremariam's brain work, is it powered by diesel, petrol, wind or solar…? he keeps on moving in international waters which is beyond his control.
Ayi ayatolla Alemariam
I was in Addis Ababa around Legahar when the city was burning on these days: public buses burning, telecom. infrastructure destroyed and robbed, local shops….a city heading towards Moqadisho in few more days if it were not for the decisive action of Meles Zenawi.
And of course some were people were armed with gejeras and even guns. And that's how the security forces were killed. It's a stupid lie to described those deaths as friendly crossfires-LIE!
You can not just run to the palace with few uninformed and unprepared vagabonds. That was the plan of the orage revolution right from the beginning because they know they were not gonna win an election.
So, I believe both sides could have done better at saving lives but finally, the government was left with no much option.
This professor is simply a copycat of Elias Kifle. No balance in what he writes-reduced to another hate-mongering blogger with completely colored stories-HUGE SANDWICHES of LIES wrapped with some truth. No credibility at all.
Can you enumerate the people that were killed by your brother Mengistu? Can you do that? I know you can–for you were one of the killers—right?
Perhaps, start with your self—how many did you kill? What is your score?
Tedy–segera afe, please take care of your sick mother. Do not vomit on us either. You need to read and learn, man. Jackass.
Anbettaw before opening your stinky mouth full of lies .Better you read the raport of the then Inquiry Commission into which it is proved that none of the manifestants carried
any sort of arms .LEKAMMI DEDEB BANDA !!!!!Ahya Degdego ,thinks twice before vomiting your insanities .And don't forget that it
was the happiest day for more than
99 % of the peoples to learn the DEATH of your leba master and will be the REBIRTH of the country the day that
the END of your Mafia Firm (TPLF) and your Goat Herder Milicias finally happens .TCHINKILATEBIS WUSHA BANDA !!!!Be Alubalta Yamenzer , take care of your ASS HOLE destroyed by your shabyan masters than jerking for "NOTHING" on this site .YE SHABYA TCHINGERED
Yazo Enba ,a very dedicated nickname for an Agazi ass hole .It's really a waste of times for idiots like you to advocate the already lost cause of your Dead Leba Master .The TPLF Tyrant gave the order and the Agazi Bandits with their bandas shot inocent peoples .LEFFAFAFFI DENGAY GATCHI BANDA !!!!!!Hyena you with your Thuggy bros are the only accountable for masking and denying the crimes of the Tyrant Zenawi and his Agazi Bandits .LEKAMMI SHELLE BANDA !!!!!
Peace be upon these souls. May Ethiopia learn from the divisions and heal in unity in the coming months and years. The tragedies of Spring and Autumn 2005 reflect incredible optimism in the process of democracy, and thundering overbearing depression when widely disparate opposition forces were declared winners in only about 160 seats, or 1/3 of the Parliament, even though this was actually massive progress from the previous 12 seats. The opposition claimed they won the election (because they won so overwhelmingly in the cities, they assumed rural areas were also theirs, which was not always the case), but uniting after a vote doesn't count. Sure most people voted against the Government, but they voted for 30 different parties.
Meles' response was violent and out of proportion, and out of character with Ethiopia's people and history. Let us all work for a lasting peace, and in the name of John Hoy, strive daily to ensure that peaceful civilians are never again killed on Ethiopian soil.
Thanks Prof. Alemayehu. I remember too. Still fresh in my mind.Those memories will never fade away. RIP all innocent lives!!!If it were not for TPLF gangs, you would have been with us today. But You did not die in vain. You are our heroes and we will remember you forever. For the monsters who cold-bloodedly shot dead our best and brightest,there will be a time to pay dear price in front of the peoples justice.WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. GOD BLESS ETHIOPIA AND HER CHILDREN!!!
Alemayehu, don't kill your time just bullshitting every week writing sixteen pages of none sense, what have you done to the country or to the people beside your crap none sense noble writing. You are just angry old fa*t that you missed the boat. Good luck to your blabla and supporters.
we should remember too those millions of Ethiopian killed during Ahmara on the power.
Prof Almenyeh,do you think also that Ethiopians forgot their loved pple killed by your fkn ahmara leaders.
Alemayehu G. Mariam I DEEPLY RESPECT YOU,BUT IN MY OPINION WRITING ALON DOESN'T BRING ANY CHANGE IN OUR COUNTRY,
@ Alemayehu G. Mariam
My question to you, How many family members did you support finincially ? with how many family members you establish close connection ? I bet you "0″ Instead of putting your meaningless garbage here you should do something for those family you think you care.
We all remember what happened!
The bunch of criminal opposition groups were gathered and participated in the election not honestly to address the country-people's affair, but were formed in the notion of my enemies's, enemies are my friend to grasp power by any means under the KINjJIT Party.
The big mistake was that the ethiopian people and the EPRDF were foolishly perceived them as ligament patties who would work for the Ethiopian people interests, but it became clear to all that those idiot were taking orders, and evil advises from all directions os an Ethiopia's enemies that they told them not to take the parliament seats that they won, and they did exactly to what they have been told just to satisfy their masters….
People like Alemayoh G. Mariam were the major players, who were the mouthpieces of the enemies to mislead some people in the capital to go out and to creat distractions on public and government's institutions- properties…then the rest is history.
Therefore, Almariam, you should know that you all have chosen to be the mouthpiece of enemies for the rest of your life and keep crying behind ur pc your evil crocodile tear that will never benefit Ethiopia at all…
God bless the world!!
Yes we remember them,we also remember you all nonsense articles almost all written by you . I also remember when we grown up and you always negative side.
by the way, when is you day to die? saw mot ayimegnim newir naw gin gin gin….yante stihum minim haq yelewim, tilacha bicha.
One thing you failed to Remember-YOU, you an escapee who still wishes another killings and blood shed in Ethiopia.
FYI: Ethiopians are leaving the painful past behind and marching forward. Why are you still preaching hate and anarchy?
I agree with Addis Zemen 100%. I might also add, this is just another rehashed polemic narratives that has gone overboard many time over.It's best to ignore the never ending schandenfeud approach to any stories he has written wether they are factual or not. I can cetainly say that most of his writing has alway been saturated with bias toward the late prime minister and not so much about the government he was in charge off.
No matter what your views are about the late prime minister, you should aspire to do somthing good for your country if you are that patriotic instead of criticizing the uncriticizable.
@To all,
Most Cadres are trying to defend themselves and their criminal government.
The crime committed by this government and their Cadres will not be forgotten.
This is our history of crime and intolerance!!
When time comes every criminal will be asked for his crime against the Ethiopian people.
One thing should be clear for all criminal and human rights violators:
Nobody forget your criminal act, even if you repent it now or in the future.
@ Bacha Birhanu [Visitor]
O, O Bacha Birhanu and the CADRES,
The entire article which was written by our dear professor Al will be
a testimony for the crime committed by TPLF and their CADRES.
His articles and your comments will serve the next generation historians as a first hand document.
Therefore my friends, do not write trash, because you will be examine critically by the next generation how brainless, foolish you are.
