Turning off cookies won't keep you from being tracked for advertising if Google gets its way
Google is often a compilation of contradictions in the way it handles certain issues. That's to be expected from a company so large. The latest contradiction is that they want to help people be more private in their browsing, but they also want to be able to continue to show relevant ads.
Google, the biggest online advertising company, is considering a new way to help advertisers track people across the Web and consolidate its power in the industry.
Google could create an anonymous identifier, tied to users of its Chrome browser on a specific device, that advertisers would use to target ads, according to a person briefed on the plan who declined to be identified because the plan is young and one of several options being considered.

The Constitution of India is neither flexible nor rigid enough but it is a synthesis of both. So, under article 368 of Part XX (Constitution of India) provided the powers of Parliament to amend the Constitution and its procedures but cannot amend those provisions which form the 'basic structure' of the Constitution (As ruled by the Supreme Court in the Keshashavananda Bharti Case, 1973). The Constitution can be amended in three ways:
1. Amendment by simple majority of the Parliament.
2. Amendment by special majority of the Parliament.
3. Amendment by special majority of the Parliament and the ratification of half of the state legislature.
Important Amendments to the Constitution
The first Amendment Act to the Indian Constitution was made in the year 1951
According to it, Articles 15, 19, 85, 87, 174, 176, 341, 342, and 376 were amended and Articles 31A and 3IB inserted and Ninth Schedule was added.
The Constitution (6th Amendment) Act, 1956: It amended the union and state lists with respect to raising of taxes.
Constitutional (8th Amendment) Act,1960: It Extended the period of reservation of seats for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and Anglo-Indians in the Lok Sabha and the State Legislative Assemblies till 1970.It Amended article 334 of the constitution.
Constitutional (10th Amendment) Act, 1961: Incorporation of Dadra, Nagar and Haveli as a Union Territory, consequent to acquisition from Portugal. It amended article 240 of the constitution.
Constitutional(13th Amendment) Act,1963: Formation of State of Nagaland, with special protection under Article 371A. It amended article 170.
Constitutional(15th Amendment)Act, 1963: Raise retirement age of High court judges from 60 to 62 and other minor amendments for rationalizing interpretation of rules regarding judges etc.
The Constitution (24th Amendment) Act, 1971: It affirmed the power of the Parliament to amend any part of the Constitution. After this amendment, the President is bound to assent to Constitution Amendment Bill. Education was transferred to the Concurrent List by this amendment.
The Constitution (31st Amendment) Act, 1973: increased the elective strength of the Lok Sabha from 525 to 545. Under the Act, the upper limit of representatives of the States goes up from 500 to 525 and that of the Union Territories decreases from 25 to 20.
The Constitution (36th Amendment) Act, 1975: By this Act, Sikkim became the 22nd State of the Indian Union.
The Constitution (37th Amendment) Act, 1975: was passed by Parliament on April 26, 1975, to provide for a Legislative Assembly and a Council of Ministers to Arunachal Pradesh, the country's north-easternmost Union Territory.
The Constitution (39th Amendment) Act, 1975: The Bill was passed by the Lok Sabha on August 7 and received Presidential assent on August 9,1975. The Act places beyond challenge in courts the election to Parliament of a person holding the office of Prime Minister or Speaker and the election of President and Vice-President.
The Constitution (40th Amendment) Act, 1976: This Amendment has a three-fold objective: (1) It places beyond challenge in courts some major Central laws; (2) It gives similar protection to several State enactments, mostly relating to land legislation, by including them in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution; and (3) It provides that the limits of the territorial waters, the Continental Shelf, the Exclusive Economic Zone and the maritime zones of India shall be specified from time to time by law made by Parliament.
The Constitution (42nd Amendment) Act, 1976: It was enacted during the period of internal emergency. It was passed by Parliament on November 11, 1976 and received Presidential assent on December 18, 1976. The Amendment established beyond doubt the supremacy of Parliament over the other wings of Government; gave the Directive Principles precedence over the Fundamental Rights; enumerated for the first time a set of ten Fundamental Duties. It further imposed limits on the power and jurisdiction of the judiciary; raised the term of the Lok Sabha and the Vidhan Sabha from five to six years; authorised the use of Central armed forces in any State to deal with law and order problems, made the President bound by the advice of the Council of Ministers and envisaged the establishment of administrative tribunals for service matters of Government employees and also other tribunals for economic offences. The Act also clearly laid down that no Constitutional Amendment could be questioned in any court of law.
The Constitution (43rd Amendment) Act, 1978: It received the Presidential assent on April 13, 1978. This Act repeals the obnoxious provisions of the Constitution (42nd Amendment) Act passed during the Emergency. It restores civil liberties by deleting Article 3ID which gave powers to Parliament to curtail even legitimate trade union activity under the guise of legislation for the prevention of anti-national activities. The new law, which was ratified by more than half of the States in accordance with the Constitution, also restores legislative powers to the States to make appropriate provision for anti-national activities consistent with the Fundamental Rights. Under the Act, the judiciary has also been restored to its rightful place. The Supreme Court will now have power to invalidate State laws, a power taken away by the 42nd Amendment Act. The High Courts will also be able to go into the question of constitutional validity of Central laws thereby enabling persons living in distant places to obtain speedy justice without having to come to the Supreme Court.
Amazing facts about Prime Minister's Residence
The Constitution (44th Amendment) Act, 1978: The Constitution (45 th Amendment) Bill, re-numbered as the 44th Amendment came into force on April 30, 1979, when the President gave his assent. The Act removes major distortions in the Constitution introduced during the Emergency. The duration of the Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies has been reduced from six to five years—the normal term which was extended during the Emergency under the 42nd Amendment to achieve some political purposes. The Right to Property ceases to be a Fundamental Right and becomes only a legal right according to the Constitution 44th Amendment. The Act also extends, for the first time since independence, constitutional protection for publication of the proceedings of Parliament and State Legislatures, except in cases where it is proved to be "malicious". Another important feature of the Act is that any proclamation of Emergency need henceforward, be issued by the President only after receiving the advice of the Cabinet as a whole in writing. The President will not be called upon to act on the basis of advice by the Prime Minister on his own without consulting his Cabinet. Other safeguards provide that the proclamation will have to be adopted by a two-thirds majority of the members of both Houses of Parliament within a month. The 44th Amendment provides safeguards against future subversion of the Constitution for establishing an authoritarian regime. It contains provisions which are designed to make it impossible to impose the kind of emergency the country had experienced for 19 months.
The Constitution (45th Amendment) Act, 1980: The Act extends reservation of seats for the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes in Parliament and the State Assemblies and the representation of Anglo-Indians by nomination for a further period of 10 years.
The Constitution (46th Amendment) Bill, 1982: It seeks to authorise the government to prepare an authoritative text of the Constitution, in Hindi.
The Constitution (52nd Amendment) Act, 1985: The Act has made defection to another party, after elections illegal. Any member defecting to another party after elections will be disqualified from being Member of Parliament or State Legislature.
The Constitution (53rd Amendment) Act, 1986: It confers Statehood on Mizoram and ensures against unnecessary interference by the Central Government with the laws relating to spheres of social relationship and community conduct applicable to Mizoram.
The Constitution (54th Amendment) Act, 1986: It enhances the salaries of Judges of High Courts and Supreme Court of India. The salary of Chief Justice of India will be Rs 10,000; Chief Justice of High Courts Rs 9000; Judges of Supreme Court Rs 9000; and Judges of High Courts Rs 8000.

The Constitution (59th Amendment) Act, 1988: It empowered the Central Government to impose Emergency in Punjab when deemed necessary. Under the amendment, President's rule can be extended up to three years. Earlier maximum period was two years.
The Constitution (61st Amendment) Act, 1989: It lowered the voting age from 21 to 18.

The Mungiki, the Taliban, and Me
By Paige Aarhus
Taliban member Caleb Yare said the Luos were unprepared for armed Mungiki raids in Mathare after the 2007 elections. They fought back with pangas and rocks, sometimes dropping cinder blocks from roofs to thwart assailants.
George Kamande rolled back his sleeves to show the scars.
"You take the oath. I cut myself, you cut yourself, we mix it. I suck your blood, you suck my blood, and then we are linked, and you can never surrender," he told me.
In Kenya, this is the ritual gangsters go through before they head out on a mission, and it happens all too frequently among the residents of Nairobi's Mwiki neighborhood in the Kasarani district. It's one of those obscenely poor, sketchy places where people who know better do not wander around solo. I was there recently, on a screamingly hot afternoon, with an appointment to meet members of the Mungiki, Kenya's most violent and notorious mafia/cult/political movement, which also might be the largest gang in the world.
It was atop a stool in a reeking pigsty where I first met Kamande, a shoe shiner by day who moonlights doing all sorts of thuggish business for the Mungiki. He was not shy about the particulars of his second job. "We're just mercenaries," he said when I asked about his assigned duties, which is exactly the kind of half-true answer I expected.
Founded in the 1980s, the Mungiki (which means "multitude" or "masses") began as a rural religious movement within the Kikuyu tribe in Kenya's Rift Valley, with an emphasis on anticolonialism and a return to traditional Kikuyu values. But as it spread to Nairobi, it attracted landless, poverty-stricken young men looking for a little extra cash and respect.
Gangsters in Nairobi generally make their living from exploiting illegal electricity hookups, extorting shop owners and taxi-bus drivers, robbery, and murdering people who cross them. But members of the Mungiki take things to another level. They're shifty, often hypocritical, and occasionally psychotic, even by the standards of their fellow criminals. When there's a riot that needs inciting, voters who require intimidation, or crimes against humanity to commit, they are the go-to guys, backing up their reputation with a track record of government manipulation, drinking blood, and beheading their enemies.
Kamande explained the Mungiki's version of campaigning: For the low cost of 100,000 Kenyan shillings (about $1,000), officials can hire 30 to 50 men who will pay a visit to a neighborhood to exert a brutal form of political influence.
Leading up to the 2002 elections, Kamande was part of a group paid to attack opponents of Njehu Gatabaki, a former MP, in the Kangema district of Murang'a County. According to him, they invaded the homes of Gatabaki's opponents, armed with clubs and machetes, and collected voter-ID cards.
When I asked whether anyone resisted, Kamande chuckled. "We beat them thoroughly. When you see your friend, your brother, your husband being beaten like a dog, you don't say no."
Gatabaki still lost, but the Mungiki continued to be a major player in Kenyan politics through voter intimidation and retaliatory attacks. Things got especially bad after the last general election in December 2007. Incumbent president Mwai Kibaki was declared the winner in a vote that split largely along ethnic and tribal lines, and he was sworn in during a super-secret nighttime ceremony. Meanwhile, opposition candidate Raila Odinga declared himself the victor, saying that the courts shouldn't decide the election because Kibaki controlled them.
The resulting tension between political parties and tribes quickly boiled over, and soon there were reports of brutal murders and sectarian violence throughout Kenya—usually considered the developed, Westernized hub of East Africa. The Mungiki joined in, of course, and when the dust settled the following February, more than 1,000 people were dead. Four years later, the wounds aren't even close to healing.
In Kasarani's Ngomongo neighborhood there's a bar called the Pentagon Pub that has a portrait of Odinga hanging on the wall. Although Kasarani is a stronghold of the Kikuyu tribe (which counts Kibaki among its ranks), this particular district is dominated by Odinga's Luo tribe, who consider the Mungiki to be immoral savages.
I strolled through the doors behind a group of well-muscled young men. As we entered, everyone inside came to a dead stop, shook the hands of my chaperones, and then bailed immediately. I was hanging with the Ngomongo's Taliban, and they owned this joint.

Customer reviews on AA DriveTech's Driver CPC training
Some of the customers that have relied on AA DriveTech to deliver Driver CPC courses:
Marston's PLC - is one of the country's leading cask ale brewers and pub operators, and as a result has a varied fleet of vehicles to service their business. They were very keen to work with a supplier that could tailor courses to their company needs. AA DriveTech was chosen for its reputation and ability to meet Marston's nationwide requirements. In all, 22 Safe Culture workshops were delivered in 2010, from Cockermouth in the North to Ringwood in the South, and more recently the company's drivers have experienced 'Tachograph and Drivers' Hours' and 'Eco Driving' workshops.
Matthew Clark - is one of the leading drinks distributors in the UK. It has a fleet of around 250 heavy vehicles and has been working with AA DriveTech, to manage its fleet effectively, for approximately 5 years. When Driver CPC was first introduced Matthew Clark was unsure about the best way to implement their compliance training. They had three options available to them: in house, outsource or a mixture of both. AA DriveTech worked closely with the company to identify their requirements and subsequently developed a training regime that trained 20 of their in-house trainers with two AA DriveTech training products, which enabled them to fit their training mandate around their operational demands. AA DriveTech also manages the licence uploads to the DVLA database and provides the company with confirmation certificates of attendance.
Masstock - supports the agricultural industry and has a mixed and varied fleet of vehicles. The company has worked with AA DriveTech for many years and has used bespoke courses for its wide range of vehicles, from 4x4 off road vehicles to advanced test preparation courses. Masstock embraces change and was one of the first companies in the UK to consider their Driver CPC requirements. Having undertaken on-road training with AA DriveTech before, they were pleased to find they could carry on the roll-out of these courses, as these are now registered as Driver CPC compliant. The drivers all carried out on-the-road training with an experienced trainer and were able to develop and improve their driving skills. The second year of training consisted of Tachograph and Eco driving workshops which were held at venues around the country. Masstock is now planning their third year of Driver CPC training and has embraced this new legislation.
Shred-it - specialises in providing a tailor-made document destruction service, assisting companies to comply with their legal document disposal obligations.
The company has been working with AA DriveTech for a number of years developing courses for both its LGV and company car drivers. Shred-it is now working with AA DriveTech on its Driver CPC training and is rolling out a programme of workshops to its drivers throughout the country.
London Borough of Havering - has been working with AA DriveTech for many years and the company has assisted them with licence checks and on-the-road training for all their vehicles, from cars to coaches. When the new legislation came into being, Havering Borough was quick to see the benefits of starting their training early. By early April 2009 AA DriveTech had delivered several workshops to their PCV drivers and they were one of the first establishments to undertake LGV Driver CPC training in early September2009. The Borough is now starting their second year of training with more workshops and practical Driver CPC training.
Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council - put their Driver CPC training requirements out to tender. After a very competitive process AA DriveTech won this high profile training contract. The training programme consists of a daily workshop, run in Barnsley, for the 150 drivers that work for the council. The drivers are starting on the AA DriveTech journey with the Safe Culture workshop in the first year, which over time will be followed by other workshops designed to develop and expand the driver's knowledge base.
"We have just carried out the first week of training in which the bulk of my drivers completed part one with no disruption to services, due to AA DriveTech structuring the course around the school holidays; together we have a plan in place to complete all Driver CPC training by 2013.
Stuart Frost, Manager, Notts & Derby Buses
Finally a quote from Stuart Frost, Manager, Notts & Derby Buses:
"We have just carried out the first week of training in which the bulk of my drivers completed part one with no disruption to services, due to AA DriveTech structuring the course around the school holidays; together we have a plan in place to complete all Driver CPC training by 2013.
"The level of support I have received from AA DriveTech has been fantastic and, having completed part one, I can honestly say that the training was excellent. As a PCV licence holder for 30years I thought that I would be unlikely to learn anything from the course; I was wrong, as the course was very informative and the instructor did an excellent job in making it
"I can thoroughly recommend AA DriveTech's services to any operator large or small."
The above are only a small sample of the customers that AA DriveTech has delivered Driver CPC courses to in recent times. In the past year some 7000 Driver CPC accredited training hours have been delivered by the Basingstoke-based training specialist, with customer feedback indicating that 95% were happy with all aspects of course delivery.

We have some interesting names, who contributed, which I will be releasing as we go through the cover layout, proofing process, and getting the advanced copies out to reviewers.

Is this going to be a physical release or a pdf?

Awesome! I will keep watching for this to come out. I tend to get things in print because they are easier for me to read. $9.99 is affordable for me. I will check this out as soon as it's out and write a review for it as soon as I can. I am expecting this book to give me food for thought for creating atmosphere when my party gets to the Plane of Dreams.
Rite publishing is currently my #3 most purchased 3PP, behind Frog God Games and Jon Brazer Enterprises. I have really enjoyed 1001 Spells and am enjoying reading Colliseum Morpheuon. I need to finish reading through them both and get reviews written. Once my players get through The Shattered Gates of Slaughtergard and The Red Hand of Doom, I am planning to drop them into the Plane of Dreams to get them to level 20.
Keep impressing me!

Ok a few things are out of the bag so how about a few teasers of who will be in it.
About the authors
Neil Spicer
Neil Spicer is a relative newcomer to the world of fantasy fiction. After winning Paizo Publishing's RPG Superstar competition in 2009, he authored a fey-themed adventure module called Realm of the Fellnight Queen and has written extensively for the roleplaying game industry ever since. On the heels of that accomplishment, he entered and won a fiction-writing contest to have his shortstory--"Rain of Redemption"--published in the first ever Pathfinder Chronicler Anthology.
In his day job, Neil is an IT contract negotiator and vendor manager with a knack for escaping into worlds where his daydreams prove infinitely more interesting. He enjoys character development for the vicarious entertainment it brings him, posting way too much on internet messageboards, and debating the true meaning of life with his future self. He lives in Charlotte, NC with his patient, lovely wife Blai and three precocious -daughters, Kailey, Hannah, and Bree.
I just got an email from Rite Publishing through Drive Thru RPG that this is now available. Will it be offered here on Paizo as well?
I would much rather be able to combine shipping since I get regular mail from Paizo. If not, then I will go place my order. I am really looking forward to reading (and reviewing) this one!
Another quick question: Is the dead-tree version trade paperback sized (with newsprint pages like any other paperback book) or is it glossy magazine sized (like the dead-tree version of Coliseum Morpheuon itself)?

Kan. GOP Leaders Say Tax Talks Have Stalled
The Kansas Legislature's top Republican leaders are acknowledging that their private negotiations on tax issues have hit an impasse.
Senate President Susan Wagle of Wichita told fellow GOP senators Tuesday that her chamber and the House don't even agree on assumptions to use in projecting state revenues and spending.
Republican leaders want to follow up on last year's cuts in personal income taxes with additional reductions. To stabilize the state budget after that, the Senate has approved a bill canceling decrease in the temporary sales tax, which is scheduled for July 1.
The House wants to let the tax drop as planned.
Wagle said the House is using unrealistic assumptions to make its proposals look better. House Speaker Ray Merrick of Stilwell said that's not the case.

Bangalore: Actor Darshan acquitted in domestic violence case
Daijiworld Media Network - Bangalore
Bangalore, Feb 18: In a big relief to Sandalwood's 'Challenging Star' Darshan, who was facing charges of beating his wife Vijayalaxmi, the actor on Monday February 18 acquitted him of the charges.
Television reports stated that the order was passed by the additional chief metropolitan magistrate court.
Incidentally, the ruling comes as a birthday present to Darshan, who turned 36 on Saturday February 16.
The actor had been arrested in September 2011 for allegedly beating his wife, and later released on bail. His wife had also changed her statement claiming that her injuries had resulted out of a fall. The police had filed a chargesheet and recorded statements from over 40 persons including people from the Kannada film fraternity, friends and family.
Various interested parties intervened in the matter, after which the couple agreed to patch up. After the incident, Darshan and Vijayalaxmi even appeared before the media together and apologized to the people of Karnataka for all that had happened.

NOAA's satellites are constantly monitoring the location, size, and intensity of wildfires across North America, and over the last six months they have tracked 323,828 fire targets. Each tiny speck of this image represents one fire signature detected a satellite's thermal sensor. Included in this number are, for example, when GOES East and West both count the same fire hot spot – which may happen up to every 30 minutes. The month in which each fire occurred is represented here in shades of yellow and orange – the later in the year, the deeper the orange color. A seasonal shift can be seen in the location, and most likely the cause of the fires. Agricultural burning in the Southeast U.S., along with Cuba, in the early spring yields to agricultural and oil production fires in the Plains during the mid-summer. As the summer intensifies and drought conditions worsen, large wildfires are seen across the Rockies, Sierras, and even the boreal forests of Canada.
Note: the original title and caption were modified to distinguish between wildfire and more generic fires.

Vladimir Bukovsky:
Vladimir Bukovsky. Can Political Correctness be Worse than Leninism?
Vladimir Bukovsky (born. 1942) is one of the initiators of the dissident movement in the USSR, a neurophysiologist, and a writer. Since adolescence he was involved in anti-Soviet activities, and, as a result, expelled from school and university. In 1963 Bukovsky was arrested, judged to be mentally incapable and kept in a psychiatrist clinic by force. During this forced "treatment" he and his friend-in-misfortune Semion Glazman published "A Manual of Psychiatry for the Dissenters" – a tool for those whom communists tried to proclaim or make mentally incapable.
When Vladimir Bukovsky became widely known in the Soviets and in the West, the Soviet power decided to expel him. In 1976, this "hooligan", of whom the Soviet authorities had more than enough, was traded for probably the best known political prisoner in the Western world – the Chilean communist leader Luis Corvalan. Mr Bukovsky settled in Great Britain, graduated from Cambridge University, and continued fighting communism. He was amongst the organizers of the boycott of the Moscow Olympic Games in 1980.
In 1978 he published his autobiography "To Build a Castle. My life as a Dissenter", which later was translated into many languages. After the collapse of the USSR Mr Bukovsky visited Russia. At the invitation of the new authorities, he participated in the so called "USSR case" (July- October 1992) and acted as an official court expert of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. When preparing for the process he had an opportunity to get acquainted with many top secret documents from the CK USSR, including KGB documents from the so called Russian Presidential Archive (later this archive was thoroughly cleansed by "specialists"). On the basis of those documents he compiled one of the most interesting archives to this day (http://bukovsky-archives.net), and wrote his book "The Moscow Process" Московский процесс (1995) on that very communism trial which never took place.
Although he does not live in Russia, Bukovsky remains one of the leaders of the Russian Democratic Movement. In December 2007 he was nominated as candidate for the Presidential election in the Russian Federation, but was not registered to run for the election. Being an ardent fighter for liberty, he belongs to many related organizations (Human Rights Foundation, The Freedom Association), and is a member of Great Britain's Independence Party (UKIP) represented in the European Parliament. In 2009 he visited Sofia, Bulgaria, where he gave a lecture on political correctness, which did not go unnoticed by "Radio Svoboda" (Liberty Radio). Head of the programme "The Boundaries of Time" Mr Vladimir Tolz, dedicated his programme of 24 November 2009 to the subject of political correctness. This release was also taken notice of in Lithuania – its summary was published by the weekly Atgimimas.
Through the mediation of priests Petras Kimbrys and Robertas Grigas, the editorial office of NŽ- A contacted Vladimir Bukovsky and received full script of the said programme, which by then was published only by a small Estonian internet portal. With the kind consent of the author, we are pleased to present our readers with the full text of his lecture. It was translated from Russian into Lithuanian by Mr Nerijus Šepetys.
The text of the lecture:
You know what – I am mostly amazed at the events and processes, which started in the world right after the collapse of the Soviet Union. We all know that the Soviet Union was destined to fall apart. My friend Andrej Amalrik in 1969 wrote a book titled "Will the Soviet Union Last till 1984?"). Of course, he had in mind not the calendar year, but the Orwelian 1984. In any case, he almost hit it right, with a slight discrepancy of several years. And the plot he describes also came true – he predicted that the Soviet Union will break down into separate national republics.
It turned out to be that his forecast was fully realistic. And it is not only his personal opinion, but the shared view of us all. He only knew better how to formulate, convey, and argue it. So the downfall of the Soviet Union was by no means a surprise for me. In 1989 – 1990 I myself was about to release a small book in the West which thoroughly explained why communism was destined to collapse. The book received a cold welcome due to one peculiar reason. Back in 1989, in France everyone would say: "He made a gross exaggeration! How come! The Soviet Union now, with perestroika, gets back on track, and he wants to bury it…". And when it appeared in Germany in 1991, everyone said: "Well, the Soviet Union is down, so what is there to write about?" So the book did not gain any popularity neither here nor there, and it was hard to predict where and when to release it.
The events that took place 20 years ago were by no means unexpected. But the events that ensued took us indeed by great surprise. So what did in fact happen? Firstly, it is what had not occurred – the reflection of this horrendous phenomenon, unique in the history of the world, which destroyed people by the millions. The attempts to philosophically reflect upon phenomena of the kind, make proper conclusions, understand the underlying reasons how things like that could have happened with us, civilized people – this has never occurred. Far from it, some processes started to unleash and they were rather illogical, to say the least.
After the Second Word War, after the collapse of Nazism, it seemed that the political balance in the world has shifted to the left (it is obvious when we take into consideration that Nazism was considered a right wing ideology. By mistake, as a matter of fact, but it's another subject). So in the wake of the collapse of Nazism the public opinion has moved leftwards, but nothing of the kind – when the opinions must have shifted rightwards – happened after the breakdown of communism.
But what happened after the collapse of communism? All over the world, especially in Europe, left wing politicians and parties come to power. Therefore, the move was clearly to the left, which seems illogical to me. Moreover, no hopes cherished back in 1989 (which were so high) ever came true. Communism survived. Francisco Fukuyama could have said that it was the end of history, but history proved otherwise – Cuba, Vietnam, China, North Korea remained communist. And in the very post-communist countries the processes did not go too far either. All what happened there were in fact cosmetic, exterior changes. Several personalities were replaced with others, who also happened to come from the communist establishment. Those countries appeared to be not free, but rather densely meshed by the remains of the nomenclature (communist establishment). But it was what happened in the West that surprised me most. It is at this time that the utopian ideologies appeared in the West. If we were to pinpoint when political correctness came into being, I could specify precisely – it came into being at the beginning of the nineties of the 20th century.
This movement, as a phenomenon or rather a deviation from the norm of political correctness, existed before that, too. My first encounter with it happened when I worked at Stanford University. It must have been back in 1984. One day I was walking down to my laboratory and approached a door. In front of me there were two girls coming down the stairs. I opened the door and held open for them the way I would have held it for anyone – be it a man or woman, young or old. It was an act of mere politeness. They stared at me and uttered with undisguised contempt: "male chauvinist pig".
I was greatly surprised, I did not understand their reaction, and, having entered the laboratory, told the story to the laboratory guys asking them: "what was it?" They started laughing like a drain and explained: "you see, there is Berkley University close by; people call it the People's Republic of Berkeley, because all weird radical left-wing movements are born there".
The philosophy of student revolution of 1968 was shaped at Berkley, and now there is a feminist movement spreading there. According to the feminists, we repress them when we speak to them like they were women, when we treat them like women. They even have a concept that they promote – women are a social construct, so if men would start treating women like men, they would indeed become men. In their view, it is our attitude towards them that shape them the way they are". And, what is most surprising, they even performed the experiment in one of the leading universities at the end of the 20th century. They took babies of both sexes and raised them in the same conditions: same food, same clothing, same games and education (I am surprised anyone would give them a permission to do that).
Surely, this experiment did not bring any expected results. They boys did not lose any of the organs that they had from birth, and the girls did not grow any extra ones. On the whole, the boys' penchant for guns did not go, just like that one of the girls' for puppets. [Read more]

Inside Lacrosse is bringing one of the college game's marquee coaches and a dynamic voice on recruiting to the second session of the IL Recruiting Invitational.
Maryland Terrapin head coach John Tillman will kick off the Session II of the Inside Lacrosse Recruiting Invitational, giving the keynote address to welcome campers at 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Goucher College.
Tillman has taken the Terps to Memorial Day Weekend three times in his four seasons at the helm. Widely considered one of the top young coaches in the country and a dynamic recruiter, Tillman was the head men's coach at Harvard for three seasons prior to his arrival in College Park.
His 2013 freshman class was ranked No. 1 in the nation according to Inside Lacrosse.
In addition, Alex Beilenson, from Life Enhancement Strength and Conditioning, will be one of the guest speakers at the camp welcome. Beilenson, who works with the Loyola Greyhounds lacrosse team, will give participants and parents training tips and explain what Combine Elite will be doing at the IL Invitational.
The special guests are part of the Inside Lacrosse Experience, which will give campers unparalleled exposure with IL's team of writers, photographers, talent evaluators, interviewers and videographers giving full-on editorial coverage. Check out the content from Session I of the event here.
In addition to content we collect out on the fields, each team will have a scheduled 30-minute rotation in the IL Studio. We'll gather thousands of photos, hours and hours of video, and priceless content that we can use for years to come at Inside Lacrosse and on ESPN.
ESPN analyst, Trilogy co-founder and Ryan Boyle kicked off the first IL Recruiting Invitational with a memorable speech about the realities of recruiting, and the commitments necessary to become a college lacrosse athlete.
Tillman provides an authoritative voice on recruiting and the college game, brining in top classes to Maryland and as head coach at Harvard, as well as helping the Naval Academy to some of the most successful seasons in the program's history.

A few days after entering, Janie Honeycutt (the Director of Sales and Marketing for House of Jerky), contacted me via Twitter and graciously offered to send me some samples.

So I let my brows grow in for quite a long while, just to see how thick they could get. The answer? They're just not naturally thick. My stylist from California refused to ever touch my brows because she said I had a good natural shape. My stylists here, they just clean up on the browbone, at the inside edges of the brow, and any strays above the brow.
This is my brow shape. This is why I love brow powders and gel, since they give me the fuller appearance that I can't achieve naturally.
How do your brows grow naturally? Thick? Thin?

It hasn't been determined, but now that the Landry Jones era has reached its end, Blake Bell will likely be called upon to man the reins as the Oklahoma Sooners' starting quarterback.
Bell isn't the prototypical Sooners quarterback. He brings something to the table that Josh Heupel, Sam Bradford and Landry Jones didn't: mobility.
Jason White showed flashes of it before tearing up both of his knees. Rhett Bomar wowed us with his legs as well before Stoops booted him for off-the-field issues.
Most offensive coordinators build their offenses around the abilities of their starting quarterback. However, Heupel, now Oklahoma's offensive coordinator, has yet to work with a player with Bell's skill set. Things have to be changed in order to mold the plays around Bell.
Heupel will surely stick with his roots and keep the offense running from the shotgun, but with Bell at quarterback, it could be a run-first attack.
Here are five ways Heupel's offense could change with Bell as the new signal-caller.

The 2013 NFL draft is in the books, and more than ever, we have an idea of what the Cleveland Browns' roster will look like in 2013.
The Browns added a number of new players during the offseason, and they feature extensively in the team's plans for 2013. This is a different team than it was a year ago.
Whether that is for better or worse remains to be seen. Either way, though, there will be new players starting at and backing up numerous positions.
This is one way Cleveland's depth chart could look in 2013.

Background: The effectiveness of Toxoplasma gondii (Tg) screening during pregnancy in areas with a low prevalence of the infection is debated. We investigate the Tg serological status, the rate of primary infection in a cohort of pregnant women and the rate of congenital toxoplasmosis among their infants during a 3-year period in an urban area with low Tg prevalence.
Methods: Demographic and Tg serological data for all pregnant women delivering from January 2009 to December 2011 were collected. All pregnant women with primary Tg infection during pregnancy and their infants were included in the study.
Results: In early pregnancy, 10,347 women underwent prenatal screening and 2308 (22.3%) had anti-Tg. The seroprevalence among non-native women was significantly higher than that among native women [32.8% vs. 19.1%, relative risk: 1.71, P < 0.001]. The incidence rate of primary Tg infection during pregnancy was 0.77%. Immigrant women were more likely to be infected during pregnancy than Italian women (relative risk: 4.88, P < 0.001). Tg infection was more frequent in women coming from Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and South America. The CT incidence rate was 0.06%. All congenitally infected infants were born to immigrant mothers.
Conclusions: Tg infection during pregnancy and congenital disease are more frequent in non-native mothers and their infants. Measures to prevent Tg exposition must be carefully explained to pregnant women, with a focus on specific habits in non-native women. Prenatal screening is still effective to select women for prenatal therapy aiming to decrease vertical transmission and to identify foetuses/newborns with congenital disease that could benefit from pre/postnatal antiparasitic therapy.

Transportation Planning and Execution
Shipment statuses reflect many different aspects of shipment activity such as tendering, loading, billing, and allocation. Some statuses act as requirements for other shipment actions. Shipment statuses are defined by two values: status types and status values.
Shipments are assigned the following status types:
ACCRUAL identifies whether an accrual is allowed. Accruals are generated when allocating shipments if the status is ACCRUAL_ALLOWED and the planning parameter ALLOCATION GENERATES ACCRUAL is set to true.
ALLOCATION_SHIPMENT identifies whether the cost of the shipment has been allocated among its orders and lines. Allocation is a process of dividing the cost of a shipment among the order releases associated with it. You can allocate shipment cost in the Shipment Manager.
APPOINTMENTS indicates whether appointments are made for the shipment at locations where it stops. An appointment is an arranged date and time for a shipment to arrive, load, or unload at a particular location.
BILLING indicates the billing activity on charges to customers for a shipping.
NEW - OTM creates a bill for the customer based on information contained in the order release. The customer is the person to whom the order is being shipped. The bill can be created by the planner or sent to OTM through the integration layer.
CALCULATED - OTM calculated the bill for a customer associated with this shipment. The bill must be approved before it can be transmitted to an accounting system.
APPROVED - The Planner reviewed the customer bill. A voucher can be created for the bill.
VOUCHERED - OTM transmitted a customer bill to an accounting system for handling. The voucher bill represents the amount the order owner owes based on the actual shipment of goods.
BOL_ACTUALS indicates whether shipment actuals are entered. Actuals define information about items, packaging and equipment associated with a shipment. Shipment actuals are required for printing a bill of lading. You can enter shipment actuals in Shipment Manager or by sending the data through integration.
BOL_PRINT defines the state of printing a bill of lading for the shipment. If the status is NOT_PRINTABLE then the shipment failed the hazardous material check and you cannot print a bill of lading. A shipment fails the hazardous material check when it does not meet the requirements established for transporting particular materials. To pass the hazardous materials check, you must edit the shipment.
CONFIRMED reflects the process for sending and receiving actual shipment information between a planner and a service provider.
ENROUTE defines where the shipment is in the transport process.
FEASIBILITY indicates whether a shipment is feasible. A shipment is feasible when it can arrive at all locations within the time window determined on the orders.
ITL STATUSES are assigned to this business object and reflect the results of running ITL (international trade logistics) actions and checks.
LOAD PLAN are sent by a warehouse system to describe activity at the pickup location.
PAYMENT reflects activity related to payments owed to a service provider by the planner for transporting the shipment.
OPEN: This status only applies to a schedule instance or consol shipment as follows: When consol shipment/schedule instance shipment is created, its status is set to this value. For the Build Shipment, Build Shipment on Primary Leg, and Bulk Plan actions, only the consol shipment/schedule instance shipment with this status value can be used to book orders. Open Consol action (in the Consol and Charter Voyage manager) sets the status of consol shipment to this value.
CLOSED - This status only applies to a schedule instance or consol shipment as follows: Close Consol action (in the Consol and Charter Voyage Managers) sets the consol shipment status to this value. The Release Schedule Instance action sets the status of a schedule instance shipment to this value.
RESERVATION determines the open/closed status of a consol or trip instance shipment.
REVIEWED reflects planning and re-planning activity on a shipment. Some of the statuses include:
NOT_PLANNED - The shipment is planned but has not been approved for execution. This status occurs when the shipment will be reviewed manually by the planner before the service provider is notified.
RE-PLAN - The shipment was planned but did not complete the execution process. The shipment is being re-planned by the shipper and is not currently being tendered to a service provider. Use this status to indicate that the shipment may be disbanded and the orders re-planned by the bulk planner.
EXECUTE - The shipment is reviewed and may be executed. The shipment must have this status before you can secure resources for it. The shipment receives a Bill of Lading number.
REVIEWED_SELL indicates billing activity. Some of the statuses include:
NOT_REVIEWED - The shipment is not ready for billing. The shipment is still enroute. You can modify the shipment while it has this status.
REVIEWED - The shipment is billed to a customer. You cannot modify a shipment after the bill is created. For example, you cannot recalculate the cost of a shipment any longer.
BILLED - The shipment is executed. A bill has been created for the shipment. You cannot modify a shipment after a bill is created.
SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT - Determines if an appointment needs to be scheduled for the shipment.
SECURE RESOURCES defines the tender process for a shipment. Some, but not all, of the statuses are:
PARTIALLY ACCEPTED - This shipment has been tendered and at least one unit of the tender have been accepted by the service provider. The remaining partially accepted shipment has been tendered to the service provider but the service provider has not responded to the tender and the tender has not timed-out. A tender time-out occurs when the amount of time given to a service provider to respond to a tender expires.
BOOKED - The shipment is booked on a charter voyage. The shipment is ready to transport freight.
NO RESOURCES - OTM tried and failed to find a carrier to accept the shipment. When a service provider declines a shipment, OTM checks to see if it should re-tender the shipment to the next available, lowest cost service provider who has not already declined it. If there are no more carriers, or the number of re-tenders passes a user-defined threshold, the shipment receives this status. The shipment cannot be executed.
SERVPROV_UPDATE defines activity related to online booking and tendering.
SHIPMENT AGENT REVIEW - indicates whether the shipping agents have reviewed your shipments.
SHIPMENT GUARANTEED DELIVERY (reserved for future use)
SHIPMENT MODIFIED indicates when order modifications are reflected on a shipment. These statuses are triggered via the Order Base - Mod - Edit Shipment agent action.
TENDER CALL used for manual tendering.
You can customize which statuses are displayed for each user by creating a status type filter and then using Manage User Access to associate the User Access Type of Status Type Filter with a particular user. When you have done so, a small arrow appears near the top of the Status window. Clicking the arrow displays all of the statuses, not just the ones displayed by the filter. Bold statuses are ones that appear in the filter, and regular ones are statuses hidden by the filter.

Old Christmas tree lights refuse to burn out
At Thanksgiving, my sister-in-law gave the kids Advent calendars with a piece of chocolate behind each door.
"You don't have to eat the chocolate every day," she told them.
Now, every morning before the bus comes, my son pushes out a little square of chocolate. We examine it carefully to figure out what the shape represents (a festive holiday lump? A sock? No, look! It's a train!) and then he pops it into his mouth.
"Wait!" I say, because we are a humorous family. "Remember what Aunt Bonnie said — you don't have to eat it!"
"Oh, great" my son answers, grinning. "Now you tell me." Then he's off to school.
Advent calendars are one of our December traditions, although we've never had the chocolate kind before. Another annual tradition is arguing about the tree.
My husband and I like finding a charming little wild tree growing somewhere out in the woods. My son demands — and his sister backs him up — a "real" tree, which means a field-grown and trimmed Christmas tree that is tall, full and even.
We don't have any of those in our woods, unless you count the ones that are taller than our house.
So it looks like we'll be making a donation to the Lion's Club again this year, heading out to one of their tree lots and bringing home a tree that is acceptable to our son.
Then we can start another tradition: arguing about lights.
My son thinks about a million lights is about right on a tree, and I think our two, 25-year-old strings of multicolored incandescent lights will be just fine.
I know we should switch to LED lights, which are far more energy-efficient. But I can't bring myself to get rid of perfectly functioning lights and buying replacements. So I'm waiting for them to break.
LED Christmas lights have been around for long enough now that some improvements have been made, particularly to their harshness. There are "soft-white" varieties now that have a warmer glow than the first incarnations. They are also cheaper than they used to be.
The LED lights use about 15 percent of the energy that the incandescent lights use, produce less heat and are supposed to last a lot longer. But in my experience, the traditional strings of lights last forever.
Every year, I test our old lights before putting them on the tree. And every year, something doesn't work, at least at first. A strand won't light up, or it will light up and then go out again.
"Hooray! They're finally broken!" we'll say, because that would give us reason to do the right thing and buy LED lights. But then I'll jiggle a bulb or pull a wire straight, and all the lights will go on.
"Maybe next year," I say, and start stringing them onto the tree.
Our ceiling is low and even when we get a field-grown tree, fully branched out, it has to be a small one. Two strings of lights is more than enough to fill it, and more than enough for a person like me, who dislikes both wasting electricity and turning on too many lights.
My son might be happier if we covered our whole house in festive holiday lights. Instead, we amuse ourselves by looking at other people's displays, admiring or criticizing as we see fit. We are not fans of blowup decorations, which get bigger every year, and rely on fans and extension cords. (We do like seeing them deflated on the ground in the morning, as if they were shot overnight.)
When my grandmother was little, she had real candles on her Christmas tree, in Germany. The end of every branch had a little clip-on metal candleholder, centered on a small metal tray to catch the dripping wax. I am not sure how long it took to light every candle or to snuff them out again, or how it was that more houses didn't burn down.
What my grandmother remembered was walking into a room with her sister on Christmas Eve, awestruck at the sight of the tree fully illuminated in candlelight.
We're not trying that at our house.
We do have some house lights, to appease the boy: one string of those same 25-year-old multicolored lights encircling the living room window.
They shine more into the house than out, which is the way we like it. And since we never got around to taking them down last year, it made our holiday decorating easy: on the first of December, I plugged them in.
It made breakfast in the half-light of early morning a little more festive. And it reminded my son to find his Advent calendar for his first chocolate of the season.

The Jervis McEntee Diaries - February 1, 1876
Diary Entry:
Went up home on Saturday with the 11 oclock train and Saturday night went with Gertrude to the rehearsal of Esther in which she takes the leading part. Had one of my bad headaches, but swallowed a half bottle of champagne which helped but did not cure it. Sunday was a lovely day. Like one of the finest Roman Winter days, no snow, not even on the mountains but a clear brilliant air and tenderness of color that reminded me of Italy. Came down Monday morning. Sam Coy Kendall rode with me on the drawing room car and we talked all the way down. Went out and bought some autotypes for John McEntee. When I came back Girard was here. Nicoll came in and told me he had sold my little water color out of the exhibition for $150. There was a favorable notice of it in the Tribune. Called to see Gifford & Hubbard. Gifford dined with me. Told me of the pecuniary misfortunes of his family and how he had had to let them have all his money to keep them from failing. What a noble self sacrificing fellow he is when the proper time comes to demand his help. Went to the Council in the evening where we staid until 11 o'clock talking and discussing various things. The air is always bad there and it is invariably too hot and the next day I always feel badly as I have today. Have done no work today. Time frittered away. Went to see the water colors. Came back and Girard came in. Nailed a lot of canvases to stretchers. Had a talk with a model on her mode of life. Advised her to go to housework. Mrs. Platt & Miss Cheney called. Attended a meeting of the Centennial committee at 4 1/2 [?] at which H. K. Brown was present for the first time. Spent the evening at Eastman Johnsons. We went into his studio to see some little sketches of the arrangement of his Sugar picture. A. T. Stewart has twice spoken to him about it and told him he would come up and look at his designs when he was ready for him. It rained very hard when I left and in the night it fairly poured.

Those wanting to exhibit a lamb or goat at a major livestock show (i.e. San Antonio, Austin or Houston), must place their tag orders by Aug. 24 by calling the Extension Office.
The cost of the tag this year is $8. Validation will take place in October. Those needing to state validate a project, do not need to attend the December County Tag-In.
All junior commercial entries will be tagged on Saturday, Sept. 15 from 8 to 10 a.m. at the Goliad Fair Barns.
Exhibitors must bring with them a statement signed by the breeder showing the heifer's birthdate.
Special accommodations may be made with the chairman, county extension agent, and agriculture science teacher's approval. Those who have an appointment to have their heifer project calf hood vaccinated before this date, can contact the Extension Office and a representative can meet them at the clinic and place the tag at that time.
For information, call Rodney Butler at Beeville Livestock at 645-5002.
Those planning to show a steer at the Goliad County Show and did not attend the major show validation in June, must attend the county validation Saturday, Sept. 15 at the Goliad Fair Barns from 8 to 10 a.m.
Those who have a 2012-13 major show tag in their steer's ear are already eligible to exhibit at the Goliad County Fair.

Hey guys, What are your suggestions for making waterproof boot covers?
I'm making this costume: http://cosplayisland.co.uk/costume/view/48373 and am thinking about the shoes for it. My original plan was to make boot covers over a pair of wellies I already own, because the costume will be worn outside, in Scottish weather, in mid-December. >_> So how can I make sure the covers over my waterproof boots don't get utterly ruined when I'm wading through potential snow and slush?

If they're black wellies just add some fur to the top! Due to how boot covers are made they'll never really be waterproof and durable, it's best to just find similar boots and use those instead.

Hm, if you wanted you could use something called gaiters, they're used for hiking but they do kinda keep boots dry and safe, I've used them many times before. You can buy them from any outdoor shop but its up to you I'm not sure if they'll work but they might =)

Cul-De-Sac Crew Cougar City Cougar Town. It's cool guys, keep the name, we're behind you.
Ellie says it's harder to raise kids in your well off 40′s than your poor 20′s. Challenge issued and accepted. Jules recruits Grayson to help her discover that it's much harder raising kids in your 40′s, especially when the kid locks themselves in the room where you were hiding all the dangerous things. Grayson takes charge and leads them to success because, oh no, he wants kids.
Laurie is craving the evil looks you get during a "Walk of Shame," but when Andy accompanies her to the club as her wingman, she quickly discovers that she's over that scene.

HIV Prevention and Testing > Am I Infected?
Yet Another Oral Thread
(1/2) > >>
I do apologize in advance for the creation of another oral sex related thread...there just seems to be sooo much conflicting information that I'd go crazy without posting.Scenario:1+ year ago I provided fellatio for a male of unknown HIV status and under the stupid assumption that everything was safe, never did any followup testing (this was my one and only encounter)Pretty good oral hygieneSince that episode I've gotten married and now have a kid; as a part of the pregnancy process, the mother is tested, and she is negative for all STDs [that testing was more than 6+ weeks after my own encounter and about 8 weeks into the pregnancy]For whatever reason, I thought about that episode only fairly recently and decided to get tested via a blood draw that is sent to a lab. Either today or tomorrow I'm supposed to be receiving the results via mail and I couldn't be more scared. I've read the welcome posting, as well as several oral sex threads here over the past day or so, and it really seems as though the moderators are pretty certain that such activity is such a low risk that it is not warranting testing outside of one's annual health checkup. Am I correct in assuming so? Additionally, am I correct in assuming that since I haven't passed anything on to my wife and child, that the likelihood of having HIV is infinitesimally small?I really do appreciate the service you provide here; I've learned so much...scaredinaz
scared,You can never, ever make assumptions about person A's hiv status going by person B's test result. I just want to make that clear.However, it's highly unlikely you would have become infected from giving one blowjob. I'm fully expecting you to receive a negative result - and so should you. However, getting tested is always a good thing, because your hiv status is never anything to guess about or assume. Ann
Thank you Ann; it is reassuring to read that. Even though I was pretty sure that you'd say "I'm fully expecting you to receive a negative result - and so should you", just seeing that for one's specific situation is anxiety-reducing and mentally helpful, as I'm sure a lot posters know.Anyhow, when this is all said and done, I want to donate money to help support HIV/AIDS research; do you have a favorite charity?scaredinaz
scared,Most any hiv/aids organisations are crying out for funding. Look in your local phone book or contact your local hospital to find an ASO (Aids Service Organisation) near you. Think global, act local.Ann
Ann,Just a followup to mention that the test came back non-reactive, as expected. Thank you again for the assistance; I found an AIDS group near one of the local universities here that could use donations to help spread awareness, so I'll be going that route to give back.Thanks again.

Hi! My name is Rachel Staley and I am an Ambassador at Cogswell College. I am a Senior this year and my degree program is Digital Audio Technology with a concentration in Audio Production. Someday I hope to do sound effects realm for film or sound composition for games.
My favorite class this semester is Style and Idea in Music. Every week I'm learning about what exactly characterizes different music genres. There are weekly composition assignments where we put our new found knowledge to the test and write in styles we might not be familiar with. My most challenging class is C Programming because it's like learning a different language, literally.
This semester I'm looking forward to the events that aren't even planned yet. Haha! We have a revamped ASB with a lot of fresh faces, so I'm looking forward to the new ideas for outings… maybe an ice skating night? Perhaps?

The lower house of Mexico's Congress gave final approval to a bill authorizing the holding of referendums on certain issues "of national significance."
Already ratified by the Senate, the measure passed by a vote of 362-57 with four abstentions.
The initiative to convene a referendum can originate with the president, one-third of the members of either house of Congress or 2 percent of registered voters.
A proposal from the chief executive or legislators will require majorities of both the Senate and lower house for a plebiscite to take place, while the Supreme Court will decide on citizen initiatives.
The legislation bars referendums on proposals that would restrict any rights enshrined in Mexico's constitution or alter the Aztec nation's institutional identity as a democratic, federal republic.
Also off-limits are matters relating to taxes and spending, national security and the armed forces.
"The Federal Law on Popular Referendums strengthens our democracy and allows citizen intervention to implement their opinion, by way of law," congressman Abel Octavio Salgado, a member of the governing Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, said.
Speaking for the Citizens' Movement, Alfonso Durazo, said the law "has so many limitations that it will be difficult for us to use it to advance a bill based on popular initiative."
The center-left PRD party is pushing for a referendum on the PRI administration's energy reform, which is opposed by the Mexican left and even by some in the ruling party.
The overhaul ends state-owned Pemex's monopoly on oil and gas production, in place since the company was created in 1938 as part of then-President Lazaro Cardenas nationalization of the energy industry. EFE
