John Quincy Adams to John Adams, 11 Sep. 1797
London 11. September 1797.
My dear Sir.
I intended to have given you some further account of the Events that are occurring in France, but for want of authentic information shall wait a few days longer. The two parties which have been approaching each other in hostile array for several months past have at length come to action according to the usual revolutionary custom, and the victory remains, as was to be expected on the side, which had secured the argument of the bayonet in its favour.—French Republicanism will not belye itself. The circumstances of the present period betoken an approach towards a simple, unqualified military Government, which seems to be the only possible issue to this portentous Revolution, but which few persons, perhaps none would have expected to advance with such rapid strides.—I shall give you the result of my observations upon the recent struggle of factions, as soon as the course of its catastrophe shall be clearly marked; but at present I can only leave you to such information as may be gathered from the newspapers.—I send you however herewith two pamphlets lately published by Barère, a man who has been at one time very conspicuous upon the great Theatre of french affairs, and whose talents the party now predominant have engaged on their side as you will perceive by the contents of these works themselves.
It has been the policy of the french Directory, to secure by all the means in their power, the assistance of literary men; a policy natural and obvious enough, but which from the position in which they stood they could not carry into effect, to any great degree. The authors who could consent to become the apologists or panegyrists of such men & such measures could not be very scrupulous or conscientious.—They took up therefore with what they could get.
I have heretofore sent you one or two pamphlets of Theremyn, the
most contemptible of all their scribblers. He is a Prussian, and has been heretofore in
a subaltern <
[] in the diplomatic department of that Government. Whether he retired
from that station dissatisfied, or was dismissed from it, I know not, but it was
probably while he was Secretary to the Prussian legation in London that he formed his
attachments to the french revolutionary leaders: he has now been two or three years in
Paris, and is constantly writing pamphlets for the directory as he did before for the
Committee of Public safety.—Paine is employed by them in like manner, and in the style
for which Madame Roland judged him peculiarly fitted; that is, to wind up the
drunkenness of a club or a tavern into frenzy.—Madame de Stael, and her friend Benjamin
Constant are enlisted in the same ranks, and labour in concert with all their energies
to strengthen their old enemies now their new friends.—I sent you the Treatise upon the
influence of the Passions, and intimated to you the Passions which produced it, and
those which it was destined to gratify.—Constant is a Swiss, (for it is remarkable that
all these courtiers of the Directory are foreigners to France) and in pursuing the
variations of Madame de Stael's destiny, has written on both sides, for and against the
prevailing system of measures, since the adoption of the Constitution of the third
year.—I will send you one of his last productions.
Amidst this literary constellation Barère is a star of the first magnitude. He is indeed a frenchman; the only one among them: but in every other respect was well qualified for the purposes for which he is employed.—Part of his History is well known to you. The accident by which he escaped the sentence which was passed upon him together with Collot d'Herbois and Bèlland Varrenes, and which was executed upon them; the accident by which he afterwards escaped from his prison, and that by which he has ever since remained at Liberty, are explained and accounted for by these two publications.—The practice of England sometimes commutes a capital penalty for transportation. They seem in France to have inverted the principle, and to have commuted transportation for the severer penance (to a liberal and independent Spirit it would be so) of writing encomiums upon the Directory and the Constitution of the third year.
It is almost an universal and almost an unavoidable custom to connect controversial writings with the real character and principles of their authors: a natural and perhaps an useful prejudice leads us generally to reject as false and absurd whatever is told us by a man whom we know to be depraved. Yet the experience of all ages has shewn examples of very bad men, who have written and said very good things.—In cases of this kind, the only sound rule of judgment is to consider the facts of such a writer as without a voucher and his sentiments as without a warranty. Of themselves they cannot serve either as foundation of belief or as a source of moral conclusions. But they may stand upon their own ground, or be supported by any power other than that of confidence in the author.—He may therefore be believed whenever he pronounces his own condemnation, or furnishes you with the materials of his own conviction. In this point of view both these works of Barère are objects of considerable curiosity.—They may be viewed also as containing such doctrines as the french Government, wished to spread abroad at the time when they were written. And it is certain that they thought this man a valuable auxiliary.—For at the late election for the members of the Legislative Councils, he was (without doubt by the influence of the Government,) chosen at some little village near the Pyrenées, though the Legislature at their first meeting declared the choice illegal and never admitted him to a seat.—I am fully persuaded however that if the party which is now victorious should be able to maintain its triumph, he will soon be brought forward again.
I have marked several passages, particularly in the work entitled
"de la pensée du Gouvernement."—Some of them as
remarkable for the ingenuousness or rather the blushless impudence with which he
characterizes as the worst of tyrannies that very dominion of Robespierre under which he
was so active and so obsequious an instrument: others as <
notice> deserving
notice for the address with which he courts the favour of the Directory for himself, and
that of the armies for the Directory; and two or three which speak of the United States,
and of the theory of balanced Governments.—You will be at no loss to guess whence he
derived his assertion that in the United States, "England has caused to be introduced by
adroit speculators, Establishments, invented with views of
political corruption and degeneracy," and you will easily discover the connection
between this doctrine, and the advice to the Directory, to "rally to the interest, and to the commerce of the french
Republic, the fruitful branches of the commerce of the United States, which England has
ravished from her."
The eulogium upon Montesquieu is a very ingenious and amusing
thing. It shews like the other work the partial return of the opinion publique to sense
and wisdom. At the same time it indicates the points upon which the revolutionary
prejudices and follies are still predominant.—Turgot's dogma of rallying all authority
to one centre has been washed out of vogue in the blood of millions, and as it "has
lived," Barère thunders with all his eloquence at the extreme importance of the division
of Powers.—He like so many others can flatter no madness but that which is armed with
power, can bow to none but reigning errors, and pledge his faith to none but accredited
lies. But if Montesquieu says a word in approbation of confederations; if he says they are the only means by which Republican
Government can be adapted to a large territory; if he speaks in other terms than those
of anathema, concerning any other Government than that of la
bonne Democratia the Government that is to force
People to be free, if his opinions clash with any of the stupidities, that have
not yet suns by their own weight from the stormy surface of the Revolution, Barère is no
longer the admirer of Montesquieu; on the contrary he joins the full cry of Anarchy and
Robbery against him—An old Philosopher said that truth was to be preferred even to his
favourite Plato; <
[] Barère must think falsehood preferable even to his favourite
Montesquieu.—In general, there may be observed through both these books many wise,
liberal & spirited sentiments of liberty together with an apparent
discouragement to views of conquest and military aggrandizement. Yet in one of them
plainly transpires the Jacobin system of proselytism, where he mentions the new and
powerful means of covering all Europe with great Republics, and in the other when he
says that "republican armies have been at all times and
in all Countries, the last ramparts and the extreme asylum of liberty," it may be
clearly seen how well prepared he and his employers are for a Pretorian Prefect, or a
Protector of french Liberties.
As a short comment upon the purity of Barère's Republicanism, and attachment to the modern Philosophy, I have taken from a recent work of Madame de Genlis an anecdote concerning him and you will find it at the close of one of these pamphlets.
I send likewise an English translation of Garat's memoirs, which I
have repeatedly mentioned to you in former Letters, but which I have not hitherto had a
good opportunity of forwarding to you, and am uncertain therefore whether you have ever
seen them. They are among the most curious and interesting publications that have
appeared from the pens of persons who have acted in distinguished situations in France.
Garat tells his own story and endeavours to justify or apologize for himself.—He was in
fact one of those equivocal characters who endeavoured to steer between the Gironde and
the Jacobin parties so as to fall in with the triumph of either. He met with the usual
fate of such personages, and was detested by both parties. By his own account he was in
heart on one side and acted on the other, or at least made none of those exertions which
his station required of him, to counteract their proceedings which however he is now
willing to brand with all the horror and execration they deserve.—But this book contains
some very valuable details of the different views and purposes of the two great
Republican factions; their modes of intrigue and perfidy for the destruction of each
other and the false and erroneous principles upon which their theories of liberty were
respectively grounded.—The author appears to great advantage in comparison with many of
his co-operators in the Revolution, <
but> and there is in his manner of writing
an apparent consciousness of integrity, moderation and humanity well calculated to
obtain confidence had they not been so often assumed, and with equal assurance by the
most ferocious tygers that the circumstances of these days have let loose upon the human
race..... Crude, undigested ideas upon the very foundations both of morals and of
political economy mark this man, as they do all the other Apologists of themselves upon
the affairs of France—He is a man of Letters: writes with spirit and elegance, and
appears familiarly versed in the literature as well as the History of Antiquity.—Yet
acquainted as he was with the uniform history of popular governments and democracies,
and far from deficient as he shews himself to be in sagacity and knowledge of human
Nature, he talks of the divisions and animosities between the leaders of the parties as
accidental misfortunes which might have been avoided, and seriously speaks of proposals
to lay aside those dissentions and rancours, for the purpose of uniting to support the
Republic. Although this book was published more than two years ago, it contains
information peculiarly interesting at the present time, when the very same parties after
all their calamities and defeats are pursuing the same game, with nearly the same cry of
liberty in their mouths, and the same practices of tyranny in their conduct.
You will have seen by the public Prints, that Edmund Burke died in
the course of the month of July. His Executors have within these few days published
three memorials upon French affairs written by him in the years 1791, 1792 and 1793. I
have sent you a copy of <
one of> them
If the several States and Governments which are spread over the face of Europe are considered as composing a sort of confederated whole, their situation and circumstances appear to resemble in an extraordinary degree those in which the same portion of the Earth were placed at the period when the Roman Republic fell, under the Ambition and talents of Caesar. There is at this time as there was then one simple fundamental principle upon which the whole fabric of European Policy stands. A revolution is taking place which must entirely overthrow that principle; such was the case then. The ultimate consequence in that instance was the total dissolution of the system by which Europe was governed, and centuries of barbarism: the novelties of this day are calculated to produce with much greater rapidity the same effect. If there be any accuracy in this view of things, the similarity between the character and genius of Burke and those of Cicero, will appear wonderfully striking. It is one of the most remarkable circumstances common to both, that rising from an obscure origin, or as Paine expresses it, upon the democratic floor, they were the most strenuous and energetic defenders of the aristocracies, that is of the institutions upon which alone the protection of property subsisted.—In one respect the modern Philosopher, Orator and Statesman, was more fortunate than the ancient; he did not live to see the final and irretrievable ruin of his cause, nor did he perish the martyr of it
I am ever affectionately, your Son
John Q. Adams.

On July 26th 2010, Charlene and Jonathan Aminoff went wave running with their sons (near their apartment in Miami) while their two year old daughter, Gali, napped by the pool with her nanny. When they returned from the outing, the Aminoffs were confronted with blood curdling screams. A man they didn't know was holding a dead child: purple skin, clenched fists, blue finger nails.
Charlene remembers the deep pity she felt for the mother of that lifeless girl, but couldn't shake the feeling that there was something familiar about her. As she slowly turned her head towards the lounge chair where Gali was napping, Charlene saw a shocking sight: their nanny was sleeping, but Gali was gone. It was at that point it hit her — her beloved daughter was dead.
Her husband Jonathan, a hedge fund manager who had been a volunteer for Hatzala (the Jewish ambulance corps) for twenty years, immediately began performing CPR. Jonathan later explained that with his decades of EMT experience, he could tell instantly who was beyond saving; Jonathan went through the motions of resuscitating his daughter to show his family that he had tried, but was certain it was for naught. As the building's surveillance cameras later revealed (footage the Aminoffs still have), Gali was under (warm) water for three minutes and ten seconds.
In the midst of despair, as she prayed for a miracle, Charlene was struck with an idea: the Aminoffs were a traditionally observant Sephardic family, but there were many mitzvos that they had not yet broached, despite feeling the pull towards them. As a blonde Persian woman (who had modeled makeup for Chanel), Charlene's hair was her crowning glory. But in that moment she decided that as a karban (sacrifice) to God she would offer her hair hoping to exchange it for her daughter's life.
Finding a blue pashmina nearby (pictured above), Charlene began to wrap and wrap her beautiful, golden locks and promised Hashem that no matter what, she was taking on the mitzvah of hair covering. With an uttering of "sh'hechiyanu v'kiyamnu, v'higanu l'azman hazeh" Charlene's hair was now covered. Jonathan looked up, realized what she was doing, stopped the CPR, and began his own dealings with God.
"For twenty years I volunteered for Hatzala," Jonathan beseeched the Almighty, his hands shaking towards the heavens, "and never asked for a thing. I'm cashing it all in now. And I'll give You twenty more years on Hatzala."
A moment later Jonathan touched Gali's neck and began screaming, "I've got a pulse! I've got a pulse! I've got a pulse!"
A two year old girl had come back from the dead – her parents were beyond elated, but as the ambulance sped to the hospital, they feared the worst. Only time would tell how severe the brain damage would be. Upon arrival to the hospital Gali's doctors began running tests as Charlene and Jonathan anxiously prayed and said psalms.
When the panel was complete and Gali had been examined from head to toe, the neurologists approached the Aminoffs in the waiting room. "We are people of science," they began, "Science is logical. It follows laws, but there is nothing scientific that relates to your daughter. She is a miracle." Charlene and Jonathan were then informed that there was not the slightest bit of brain damage, not a sign of water in Gali's lungs, not a trace of gas in her blood. (Gali drowned on a Monday, rested on Tuesday, and was back in the pool on Wednesday!)
Jonathan asked the head doctor, "Are you Jewish?" The doctor unenthusiastically nodded "yes." "Do you believe in God?" Jonathan inquired. The doctor looked at his colleagues, paused for a moment, and replied, "Now I do." That doctor is an observant Jew today because of little Gali.
After they returned from the hospital, the Aminoffs learned more about the "stranger" who saved their daughter's life. It turned out he was a neighbor and like them and most of the residents of their building, only visited his apartment intermittently to vacation. At the end of July in Miami, the building was empty. This neighbor rarely used the pool, but his schedule had freed up the morning that Gali drowned and it was such a lovely day that he decided to fit in a quick swim. There was no one at the pool when he arrived except for a sleeping woman (Gali's nanny).
He did a few laps in the deep end and attempted to climb out using the deep end's ladder (close to where he had left his towel), but the day before he had pulled a muscle in his leg and when he tried to ascend, it was too painful. The neighbor decided to use the pool's stairs instead, and as he made his way to the shallow end, he saw an object at the bottom of the pool, next to the stairs. When he dove down to inspect it, he found a lifeless child.
The Aminoffs were instructed by several rabbis to publicize the miracle. A nes so open and obvious is so rare in this day and age (as everyone here knows – we rarely see any reward for a mitzvah in this world, let alone an open miracle) the rabbis warned the Aminoffs it would "cost" them too much in the spiritual realm.
They explained that the way you "pay off" such a big merit is by sharing the story of the miracle with as many people as possible. Because the Aminoffs felt a special connection to hair covering, they decided to start Gali's Couture Wigs which creates beautiful sheitels (like the one Charlene is wearing here) to help other women fulfill the mitzvah of kisui rosh.
I recently got to meet Charlene, hear the story from her firsthand, and see their gorgeous sheitels. It was then that Jew in the City and Gali's Couture Wigs decided to team up and spread inspiration together. Gali's Couture Wigs has recently become a corporate sponsor of Jew in the City and wants to help make hair covering easier for all of our fans who are interested in this mitzvah: Just mention Jew in the City anywhere Gali's Couture Wigs are sold and you'll received 5% discount off of a Gali's Couture Wig.

Daring Little Spark
It begins as a spark; a tiny, lonely spark. Hesitantly, that spark jumps to another, and a flame is created. The flame burns just a little brighter, then a little brighter still. It begins to burn deep, changing its course thousands of times along the way. But still it grows, brighter and brighter. The fire, the warmth, spreads. It engulfs, like a fire raging through a deadwood forest. It sets things ablaze, things that never dared hope to burn.
Oh, how that fire burns. It is a fire that fears neither daylight nor the deep shadows of the night; its flames ignite the darkness. Burning bright as the stars, it cauterizes old wounds. It burns.
Then the rain comes.
Rain that drenches and puts out the fire; the wildfire simply disappears. It does not spew excuses or linger on, clinging to old memories. The flame just dies, suddenly and irrevocably.
Ashes are all that is left. Black dust that coats everything, soot that never washes away. Strangers come with hearts yearning to help. But no matter how hard they scrub, the ashes remain.
Days, months, years, centuries they remain; fire created them, and fire alone can destroy them.
A tiny, lonely spark comes along. This spark is different; it's not afraid of ashes. The spark searches relentlessly for its other half, sifting and digging through miles of black dust. It finds its love.
It uses the ashes as its kindling, lighting a fire that burns brighter than the sun.
That daring little spark.

In this article, Adam Ripley looks in to how outsourcing is a necessity for business these days.
With the proliferation of outsourcing, there is little doubt that it has become the business byword of the last few years. Organisations of all sizes are realising the benefits of using suppliers to handle processes such as technology, HR, finance and procurement. Lured by the cost savings and the ability to harness external expertise much more economically than providing that experience in-house, more and more organisations believe outsourcing to be the cure all for business ills.
However, this is not necessarily the case. The rush to outsourcing that has been endemic over the last five years or so has been followed by a number of monumental outsourcing disasters. This has served a purpose in the sense that organisations now realise they shouldn't be blinkered by the promises of cost savings–outsourcing is a very tricky and subtle process and needs to be broached as such.
Outsourcing can fail for a number of reasons, from contract issues to relationship breakdowns, from clashes in working practices to soaring costs. But recently it has been reported that failures in quality assurance and inadequate testing have been behind some large scale outsourcing failures.
The Child Support Agency is a prime example. Dogged by innumerable problems, the CSA's £456 million computer system caused havoc with the organisation's attempts to track and secure child support payments from absent parents. The government threatened to pull the plug on the system and the supplier, EDS, also blamed the government for ordering 2000 changes from their original requirements. However, it is evident from the government reports available that there are many defects outstanding in the IT system and incompatibilities with the CSA business processes. A more stringent process would have ensured changes were correctly managed and tested and that the changing requirements did not impact the quality of the system.
However, whilst public sector outsourcing disasters get more headlines, this is not to say the commercial sector is any more on the ball where it comes to adequately testing outsourced services. A high profile example of this is online bank Cahoot. At the end of 2004, Cahoot suffered a security lapse, when a failure to adequately test an upgrade resulted in a breakdown to the password system, exposure of customer account data and significant brand damage.
Government failures just receive more press attention, as they tend to be more publicly accountable. The private sector tends to be more skilled at smoke screening when things go wrong. However, with outsourcing rising in prevalence in every sector with the financial services sector leading the way and Kable estimating that the public sector is due to spend £20 billion on outsourcing in the next few years, the need for sound quality assurance and testing in outsourcing has never been more apparent.
With the litany of testing and quality assurance failures that litter the outsourcing space, why is this not a problem that is being addressed by both the user and supplier audience? Testing shortcomings in outsourcing projects can be down to a number of reasons:
- Lack of strategic perception around testing: testing and quality assurance is often considered a tick box, operational function, when it should be about the verification of a solution to fit the business. It is not simply about checking that the system works. Testing needs to be thought about in terms of the whole organisation because if any problems do arise, it can seriously affect the business. In terms of the whole outsourcing environment, the complexity of testing can be doubled–problems and potential scenarios need to be thought of from every perspective.
- Leaving it too late: a problem that

Hi folks
At some point in the near future, i'm looking at upgrading my current tuned MG ZS diesel, to a 330d, which i believe is known as the E46 shape. Due to funds, i am looking at spending around the £3k figure, which is probably around 2003 year.
Will be wandering around the forum, hopefully picking up plenty of info.
If not, i'll be posting some questions!!

shifts in tone, 'death' of mother lang = harsh, guttural lang, images of decay choices: 'rot', 'die', 'spit', repetition of 'rot' to reinforce, 'rebirth' of mother lang = rich vowel choices, celebratory, triumphant tone:'grows moist...strong', 'bud opens...blossoms', repetiton of 'grow' to reinforce

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: The Sorcerer's Apprentice should be rated U for Untouched by Human Hands.
Rotten: As Balthazar, Cage doesn't disappoint. He's just manic enough to keep the character from becoming too predictable. More's the pity, then, that a pro like him has to cede so much screen time to his character's young protege.
Fresh: A big gob of mythical makeover and special effects-freewheeling fun.
Fresh: There is much that's appealing, from the performances to the scene where Turteltaub re-creates a live-action version of the classic scene from Disney's Fantasia.
Customer Reviews
Very Entertaining Movie!
You really can't go wrong with a Nicolas Cage movie. It's amazing how you can really use the so called professional critics to tell you what movies are good to watch, and what movies aren't. Just take their rating and "reverse" it. If they don't like the movie, go see it. Hello, this is a "fantasy", science fiction, type movie. It's not a drama. It entertains. It has action, and great special effects. It was well worth the money to see it at the theater. And, I look forward to purchasing it for my home movie collection.
Better than it looks
This movie actually surprised me. I thought this was going to be dumb but it turned out good.
Let me break down what I thought
Watching commericial: Either gonna be stupid or good
First five minutes of movie: Alright, this is going to be really stupid.
Halfway: I want to know what happens so I'll keep watching.
End: That was actually really good

DCeptette: Semi-naked in somebody else's room version
- There is such a thing called "depraved indifference." Usually, it describes a criminal's POV when committing a criminal act. But, what if, instead of a single act, you used "depraved indifference" as a lifestyle choice. What if it defined your every action, your entire modus operandi, indeed, your very raison d'etre? And what if you lived in a city with an alt-weekly that was stupid enough to let you spell out every separate element of your malodorous existence. Well, that's what went into the creation of the City Paper's latest cover story, "Your Unfinished Basement or Mine?" in which one Franklin Schneider elucidates in graphic detail his hollow life and his malformed lifestyle choices, all of which paint the picture of a singularly loathesome, craven, awful, stupid human being. This guy makes the dude who recalled for the City Paper how he let people piss on him for an iPod Nano look like he's next in line to be the fucking Dali Lama. But, don't just read the story--no, no--anyone can merely glance, from left to right, across the pages of the City Paper--skimming when it just becomes too awful. No. For the full effect, please, do the honor of having Rusty relate it to you. He spelunked directly into the cavernous depths of young Franklin's void and examined the full measure of every shit-flecked stalactite therein. We hope he spent the weekend getting disinfected, and we thank him for the self-sacrifice. [WhyIHateDC]

Elephant Death Toll Rises As World Awaits Supreme Court Verdict
When will it stop? That's the question many of us in the animal rights movement are trying to grapple with, as the death toll of elephants in Kerala continues to rise. In just over eight months, 16 captive and five wild elephants have died due to human interference -- that is more than two elephants a month.
The most recent casualty was a bull elephant named Manissery Devidathan, only 52 years of age. According to the Heritage Animal Task Force (HATF) Secretary, Mr. Venkitachalam, this elephant was forced to stand beneath the scorching sun in the same spot for more than a week, his hind legs paralyzed due to immobility, part of his right ear missing after ruthless torture, and his body swollen. For almost his entire life, this elephant was forced to participate in festivals, and transported between districts, with no rest during the festival seasons, a fate that all captive elephants of Kerala endure.

The same evening a 32-year-old cow elephant Jayasree, also died at an awfully young age! She was used illegally for elephant rides at a privately owned Valara Elephant Center in Idukki District. The HATF Secretary claims the center isn't authorized to ride elephants as it doesn't have the registration certificate required by the Performing Animals (Registration) Rule 2001, and this is a punishable offence.

On September the fourth, even as people in Mumbai were ushering in Lord Ganesh (the most popular Hindu God with an elephant face) for his birthday celebrations, a young elephant died a miserable death. The 22-year-old bull named Lakshmanan was tethered 24/7 and unable to move. His puss filled legs in this image below reveal sad tales of torture and neglect. He was owned by a man named Shaji, whose family is said to possess 18 elephants.

Wild Asian elephants are also in peril. The forests are shrinking as people are encroaching into the wilderness, pushing elephants into smaller areas and sparse vegetation. So naturally, these elephants return to the agricultural land that once belonged to them. Sadly, poisonous pesticides and electrical barb wires have killed at least five elephants this year alone. They are doomed if they live in the forests and doomed if they come out, as human activities are decimating them.

On September 8th a young calf, just six years of age was found dead inside a Tea Estate near the Wayanad forests, poisonous pesticides seem to have caused the tragic death. On August 25th a cow elephant was electrocuted in the same area. But no arrests have been made in connection to even the previous deaths of four wild elephants spanning over the last four months.

Human-elephant conflict isn't new to India. With 1.3 billion people living in a 3.3 million square kilometer area, the less than 26,000 Asian elephants stand no match against the humans that continue to multiply by the second. According to Dr. Raman Sukumar, a world renowned ecologist and professor at the Indian Institute of Science interviewed for Gods in Shackles documentary, out of the approximately 40,000 Asian elephants around the world, more than 60 per cent of them thrive in India, with 4,000 to 4,500 elephants in captivity. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has declared Asian elephants an endangered species. They were elevated to India's heritage animal status in 2010, and are considered to be the embodiment of Lord Ganesh.
But regardless, the reverence that was once bestowed upon these gentle giants has deteriorated drastically in the past few decades. These sentient, social animals are being used as cash machines and exploited for profit in circuses, zoos, tourism and worst of all in cultural festivals under the guise of religion. Not a single species on the planet is as deceptive and destructive as human species.
So, when will this suffering end? In April 2015, the Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center launched a petition against the states that use captive elephants for entertainment and tourism. Several hearings and 16 months later the Supreme Court of India is expected to deliver a verdict in the next two weeks. And the world anxiously awaits a judgement that will seal the fate of an iconic animal.

Elephant in Samburu National Park, Kenya
Not the greatest picture but I thought this was an illustration of one aspect of Kaziranga's natural history. Elephant grass is perhaps the most aptly named grass. Growing with gay abandon in the flood plains of the Bramhaputra, this grass dwarfs even elephants with its towering size.

Definition of conversant
conversant was our Word of the Day on 10/19/2011. Hear the podcast!
Theme music by Joshua Stamper ©2006 New Jerusalem Music/ASCAP
Examples of conversant in a Sentence
She's conversant in several languages.
a world traveler who is highly conversant with the customs of foreign cultures
Did You Know?
The adjectives "conversant" and "conversational" are related; both are descendants of Latin conversari, meaning "to associate with." The earliest English meaning of "conversant" in the 1300s was simply "having familiar association." One way to associate with others is to have a conversation with them - in other words, to talk. For a short time in the 19th century "conversant" could mean "relating to or suggesting conversation," but for the most part that meaning stayed with "conversational" while "conversant" went in a different direction. Today, "conversant" is sometimes used, especially in the United States, with the meaning "able to talk in a foreign language," as in "she is conversant in several languages," but it is more often associated with knowledge or familiarity, as in "conversant with the issues."

Ghost Written Confessions (Blue Tuxedo)
By Captain Wilberforce
Sometimes writing a review is easy and sometimes it's hard. Music is a very emotional thing to react to and as a reviewer it can be difficult to wrestle with how to provide a valid critique.
The Ghost Written Confessions is without a doubt a well conceived and executed pure pop album with a variety of styles and unusual instrumentation on display.
A songs like "Get Hurt" with its Beatles' style arrangement and McCartney melody help to bring out Simon Bristoll's sweet pop vocal delivery. I can find no fault with the sentiments behind the "The Day Your Mouth Stood Still", which is one of the more eloquent of the lyrical efforts here, with an almost self-mocking tone. In places I'm reminded of some of the more classic melodic indie bands of the nineties such as Mega City Four and Jellyfish which can surely only be a good thing.
So why the wrestle you ask?
I suppose the one of the issues is stickability or hookiness, with the exception of the aforementioned "Get Hurt" I found it hard to hold on to any of the songs.
I like my music fairly bare and sometimes it felt like the production on the album as a whole was a little too heavy handed for my own tastes, where others may feel that it is exactly what is required.
Lyrics are an incredibly personal thing for a songwriter but I felt that at times I wasn't hearing enough of this reflected, especially in songs like "Los Angeles" or "She's my Kryptonite", where cleverness seemed to outweigh sincerity.
Overall a fair album with some minor flaws, for those who like their pop straight ahead, there will be many rewards to be had.

Ultrasonic processing in simple terms is the application of sound waves in the frequency range of 20 kHz–1 MHz which is above the range of human hearing. This review focuses on the applications of ultrasound to accelerate processes such as dehydration, drying, freezing and thawing, tenderization of meat, crystallization of lactose and fat and to improve processes such as cutting, extraction, emulsification, ageing of wines and esterification. The effect of ultrasound on physical properties such as viscosity, opacity, particle size and gel strength is also considered. We find that it is the physical effects of ultrasound that predominate in most applications considered to date. Ultrasound increases heat and mass transfer, disrupts aggregates and can break macromolecular chains.

Ralph: Me fail English? That's unpossible.
Lionel Hutz: This is the greatest case of false advertising I've seen since I sued the movie "The Never Ending Story."

Homer: Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals…except the weasel.
Mr. Burns: I'll keep it short and sweet — Family. Religion. Friendship. These are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business.
Homer: Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.

CH 8.1 What is an Earthquake?
Earthquake = the vibration of Earth produced by the rapid release of energy.
Focus = point inside Earth where the earthquake starts.
Epicenter = location on the surface directly above the focus.
Epicenter and Focus http://www.pbs.org/wnet/savageearth/animations/earthquakes/index.html
Fault = fracture in Earth's crust where movement has occurred.
Western side of fault moved 4.7 meters to the north.
1906 San Francisco Earthquake
Over 225,000 people were homeless.
Over 3000 people died.
The San Andreas Fault, CA
Based on the movements of the San Andreas fault the Elastic Rebound hypothesis was developed.
Existing Fault
Forces deform and put pressure on rocks.
The pressure overcomes the strength of the rocks. The rocks break and slip.
The pressure is relieved and the ground stops moving.

Elastic Rebound Hypothesis
UNCONFORMITY ????? http://www.classzone.com/books/earth_science/terc/content/visualizations/es2902/es2902page01.cfm?chapter_no=visualization
Most earthquakes are produced by the rapid release of elastic energy stored in rock that has been subjected to great forces. When the pressure on the rock exceeds the strength of the rock, the rock suddenly breaks.
Aftershocks and Foreshocks
Foreshocks = small earthquakes that occur prior to a larger earthquake.
Aftershocks = small earthquakes that occur following a larger earthquake.

People, pucks to the net Part 2: Players should be able to get in front of the net and deflect the puck past Backstrom because he overplays the redirection, which can lead to a goal for the opposition.

Police Reform Starts With Tracking Use Of Deadly Force
The recent deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile has once again raised the issue of police violence against members of the public. Sterling and Castile, both black men, were fatally shot by police in the U.S. and are now being used as rallying cries by the Black Lives Matter (BLM) social movement to illustrate the systemic violence police officers inflict against black individuals at an alarmingly high rate.
It has been two years since the high-profile deaths of two African-American men, Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri and Eric Garner in New York City, at the hands of the police. The deaths of Brown and Garner resulted in protests and unrest, and it gave the BLM movement national and international recognition. Despite this massive movement and the continuous calls for police reform, police violence continues to happen.
One the most important concerns of police violence, and one that several fail to even recognize, is how much we do not know about the police use of lethal force. For example, the Director for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) asked his staff to tell him how many African-Americans were shot and/or killed by police in the U.S. and to his surprise, they could not provide an answer. The reason? There is no national or centralized database on police shootings or other types of force.
Although lethal force by police is much less common in Canada as compared to the U.S., we are not immune to police violence.
The system used in the U.S. to track deadly force is the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program that has collected statistics on lethal violence since the 1930s. However, the 18,000 law enforcement agencies are not mandated by this program and participation is voluntary. There are other systems used for tracking police shootings but these are also inconsistent in collecting data.
Similarly, there is no national or centralized database for use of force statistics in Canada. A further problem is the fact that agencies do not normally release official statistics on use of force, and the way in which use of force data are collected varies greatly between jurisdictions. Although lethal force by police is much less common in Canada as compared to the U.S., we are not immune to police violence.
The best data on the use of deadly force by police are generated by the media. For example, the Guardian initiated a project called "The Counted" in 2014 that tracks the number of people killed by police in the U.S. They rely on local media reports of police use of deadly force and operate a database that includes basic information about each incident. Relying on the media for accurate data is an issue because data are not verified, audited or confirmed. Despite this, the Guardian's database may provide the most information we have on police shootings.
A national database on police deadly force will not only inform the public and the police of how often it occurs, but it will also allow for agencies to identify problems and concerns at the local and national level, and address them in the most effective way towards reducing lethal force.
For this to work, agencies must collect and report: 1) all incidents police officers discharge firearms at civilians; 2) the agency employing the officer(s); 3) the location of each incident (i.e., neighbourhood, highway, cross-streets); 4) the demographic characteristics of the officers and civilians involved in each incident; 5) any injuries suffered by officers and civilians; 6) the weapon(s) used by police and civilians; and 7) the nature of the incident (e.g., vehicle pursuit, domestic call, etc.).
All agencies must regularly report this information to a centralized data collection body (e.g., National Institute of Justice). This information gives the police valuable insight into specific circumstances of when deadly force is used which can better assist agencies in changing protocols and policies around how they approach deadly force situations (whether it be through improved training, alternative policing methods or better relations with marginalized communities). Good data will necessitate positive change.
Hundreds of civilians have been killed by the police since the BLM movement mobilized after Ferguson. Protesting for more accountability of the police is important. The first step in ensuring meaningful police reform and reducing the use of lethal force by police is by mandating a national database on police shootings where all agencies must consistently and comprehensively report all cases of deadly force. This will force agencies to make changes. Until this materializes, we can only expect more of the same.

In a lawsuit filed July 26 Shoshoni police chief Andy Rodriguez was accused of using a Taser on a man whose lawyer refers to him as a "cat guy." A police report explains what happened when Rodriguez tried to arrest the "cat guy," L.J. Faith, for animal cruelty. "I deployed the Taser to Faith's left side arm. During the attempt to control Faith's arm, I realized the Taser was not having a meaningful affect [sic]..." Not deterred, the officer loaded another probe, but something went awry: "As I was attaching [another] probe cartridge to the Taser, I had the sensation of falling backwards... I recall the Taser discharging... a probe had penetrated my right index finger... I pulled the probe out of my finger and was going to reload with a second probe cartridge when officer Cruche told me he had been hit as well. I looked over and [he] was bleeding from the top of his head near the hair line."
Texas Deputy Constable Jimmy Drummond. was charged in the brutal 2011 beating of a young man and his family. Police dashboard camera footage, released in September, allegedly shows Drummond beating a man who was pulled over for speeding. The suspect's father and mother also claim they were dragged and kicked by deputies. The beatings left the son's ribs broken and his father's face bruised. A criminal complaint filed against Drummond said his actions were "gratuitous" and "furthered no law enforcement purpose."
Philadelphia police officer Jonathan Josey was suspended last year after video emerged of him punching a woman in the face. Despite the brutal video, Josey was acquitted of any crime and got his job back in August.
New Mexico resident Marlene Tapia filed a lawsuit in November over an incident that took place two years prior. KOB explains what allegedly happened: According to court records, police arrested Tapia for a probation violation tied to a previous drug case. While at the Metropolitan Detention Center, Tapia said two officers strip searched her and asked her to bend over at the waist. That's when they noticed a plastic baggie protruding from Tapia's vagina. Instead of taking Tapia to a doctor to have the baggie removed, she said one of the officers – Blanca Zapater – sprayed a chemical agent directly on her genitals twice.
In January, New Mexico man David Eckert was subjected to a series of invasive and degrading drug search procedures after a traffic stop. The procedures, which included x-rays, digital anal penetration, enemas and a colonoscopy, were all performed without Eckert's consent. Authorities conducted the searches because Eckert allegedly clinched his buttocks.
Michael Saffioti's family filed a lawsuit in November after the 22-year-old Washington resident died in his cell following an arrest for pot possession. According to the lawsuit, Saffioti may have suffered an allergic reaction in his jail cell caused by the food he was given while behind bars. He made several attempts to call for help, but guards ignored his requests until it was too late, according to the suit.
An investigative report released in October, 2013 by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch found that the St. Louis Police Department had accidentally arrested 100 people over the last seven years. The department said that mistakes will happen in a city where officers make 30,000 arrests every year. But Jeffrey Mittman, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Eastern Missouri, told The Huffington Post that these accidents are unacceptable. "To say we are a large city and mistakes will happen as if that justifies a depravation of liberty is simply incorrect," Mittman said.
An audit filed in October, 2013 found that law enforcement offices in Fulton County, Georgia are using asset forfeiture money on galas, back-rent, fancy restaurants and a field trip to see Headline News anchor Nancy Grace, among other questionable expenditures. Fulton County D.A. Paul Howard said he disagreed with the report and said he'd continue spending the money as he saw fit.
A report by the Los Angeles Times in December, 2013 found that the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department had made several sketchy hires including a man who said he kissed and groped a 14-year-old girl when he was 28.
Three high school teens in Rochester, N.Y., were arrested while they waited for a bus, but authorities claimed the trio was obstructing the flow of other pedestrians on the sidewalk. "We tried to tell them that we were waiting for the bus," One of the students, Wan'Tauhjs Weathers said. "We weren't catching a city bus, we were catching a yellow bus. He didn't care. He arrested us anyways." The police department denied any wrongdoing but prosecutors elected not to bring charges.

Just installing a UPS does not automatically guarantee success. Batteries and fans can fail, runtimes diminish, loads change, and systems can get stuck in static bypass mode. The UPS is not a fit and forget item. Failures are often discovered just when you needed it to work, with possibly disastrous consequences.
This will ensure that your system is working reliably and efficiently, and let you know if any action is required to guarantee uninterrupted power. Or perhaps you are looking for a new UPS system or upgrade? APTC also provide full Uninterruptible Power Supply Services and Management solutions.

Haunter of your dreams
Little story of a 'thing' that haunts your dreams.
You're running, running as fast as you can. You know me, i'm one of the bad men. You look back and see my shadow on the dark brick alley walls. You think that my shadow is an exaggeration, but its not. Those horns you see, in the street light. They're real alright, my sweet delight. Your feet are moving as fast as they can, we both know its not fast enough; you know i'll just appear in front of you. Like now.
You scream but i cover your mouth even before a sound comes out. You look up at me in fear, you think i'll hurt you. Would you believe me if i said i won't? I can see the smoke rise from your skin, i'm burning your flesh with my own. Tears stream down your eyes as the smell of burnt skin begins to rise. I realise my hand but you cover your mouth with your own, wanting to touch your burnt skin, wanting to feel the damage done. I stroke your cheek just once with my finger, creating a line of dead skin. You recoil, you're in too much pain to scream. But i begin to fade, slowly, as i kiss you. Surprisingly you kiss back.
You wake up, the battle scars faintly glisten in the light, only just visible, to your eyes only.

Northern Securities Company: The Great Railroad Trust

In 1901, the Northern Securities Company was formed as a holding company in the business-friendly state of New Jersey. The new venture brought together the talents and wealth of J.P. Morgan and James J. Hill on one side and E.H. Harriman on the other. Hill controlled the Northern Pacific and Great Northern Railways, Harriman the Union Pacific. Harriman's efforts to gain an entry to Chicago by acquiring the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy led to an epic battle that led to the Northern Pacific Panic of 1901 and threatened the financial stability of the country.
Deciding that accommodation was preferable to a fight to the death, the erstwhile competitors merged their holdings in the Northern Securities Company. Noting that traffic between Chicago and the Northwest was monopolized, Roosevelt in 1902 ordered Attorney General Philander C. Knox to bring suit, alleging restraint of trade. Morgan and Mark Hanna pleaded personally with the president to halt the action, but to no avail.
In court, Northern Securities attorneys argued that the company did not really engage in interstate commerce, but simply was a stockholder. They further argued that the by allowing the government's position to hold, the Sherman Act's prohibitions would preempt powers reserved reserved under the Constitution to the states.
By the narrowest of margins, five to four, the Supreme Court in 1904 sided with the government and ordered the NSC's breakup. This decision was notable for the following reasons:
