Best Takedown vs. Larger Opponents?
Every grappler needs to have a basic understanding of takedowns. You don't want to be so uni-dimensional that you have no idea how to take somebody down.

What is Offshore Company & How it Started (Read in Urdu)
WHAT IS AN OFFSHORE COMPANY? Most business people have heard about offshore companies. However, very few are aware of what these companies are used for and how they differ from other more common corporate entities. In this article, we will introduce the key concepts related to offshore companies and outline some of their unique benefits. First and foremost, it is essential to define the term Offshore. Offshore relates to managing, registering, conducting, or operating in a foreign country, often with financial, legal and tax benefits. Offshore Company is then a company incorporated for the purpose of operating outside the country of its registration and/or the place of residence of its directors, shareholders and beneficial owners. Again, this is typically pursued to realize various financial, legal or tax benefits. (Copied from http://www.unitrustcapital.com/)

NEW YORK -- John Maine stopped the Mets' slide with an overpowering performance that pulled them into a first-place tie. He nearly did a whole lot more than that.
Maine flirted with the first no-hitter in team history before allowing an infield single to Paul Hoover with two outs in the eighth inning, and New York snapped out of its September doldrums by routing the Florida Marlins 13-0 in a fight-filled game Saturday.
"We weren't going to lose today," Maine said.
Maine finished with 14 strikeouts, the most by a Mets pitcher in eight years, and departed to a raucous ovation long after Florida catcher Miguel Olivo charged across the diamond and threw a punch at buddy Jose Reyes in the fifth -- setting off a bench-clearing brawl.
Once order was restored, the Mets ended a five-game skid that cost them their NL East lead. Hours later, they moved back into a tie with Philadelphia for first place in the NL East when the Phillies lost 4-2 to Washington.
After squandering a seven-game cushion with 17 to play and falling a game behind Philadelphia, New York entered Saturday with a chance to suddenly be eliminated from postseason contention. A loss to Florida and a Phillies win over Washington later would have sent the Mets home for the winter.
Instead, Maine (15-10) gave them the dominant outing they've desperately needed for two weeks.
"We needed a stopper and he was our guy," David Wright said. "Hopefully, it's not too little too late."
New York will hope for another big effort from 300-game winner Tom Glavine in the regular-season finale Sunday. The Mets face nemesis Dontrelle Willis (10-15), who is 11-3 with a 2.49 ERA in 18 career starts against them -- including 5-0 at Shea Stadium.
Lastings Milledge homered twice, Ramon Castro also connected and Luis Castillo had three key hits for the Mets, who had lost eight straight home games and 11 of 15 overall -- putting them in danger of completing one of baseball's most colossal collapses.
Maine was looking to make his own bit of history for the Mets, born in 1962. He struck out seven straight during one stretch and held Florida hitless into the eighth. With the crowd of 54,675 getting more and more excited, Hoover hit a dribbler up the third-base line that left Wright with no chance to make a play.
"You couldn't have rolled the ball any better," Maine said. "What are you going to do?"
Wright put his arm around Maine on the mound as manager Willie Randolph walked out to lift the right-hander after 115 pitches. Maine took a curtain call before Willie Collazo and Carlos Muniz finished the one-hitter.
The crowd let out another huge roar when Washington's early 1-0 lead at Philadelphia was posted on the out-of-town scoreboard.
Milledge flopped on a clubhouse couch to watch the Phillies' game on television for a while, but most of the Mets scattered, saying they would keep an eye on it with family and friends or get updates via cell phone.
The teams first spilled onto the field when Florida pitcher Harvey Garcia threw behind Castillo in the fifth. Holding the bat in his hand, Castillo walked toward the mound with his arms spread wide. Mets pitching coach Rick Peterson was incensed, pointing angrily toward Marlins coaches as the benches and bullpens emptied.
"That's irresponsible. That's not how you play the game," Peterson said. "It was a knee-jerk reaction."
No punches were thrown, however, with both teams mostly just milling close to each other near home plate.
After a brief delay, play resumed. Castillo walked and Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez came out to make a double switch.
Reyes, on third base, was jawing with Olivo, who was standing on the mound during the pitching change. Reyes said he was kidding with Olivo, figuring it was harmless because the two chat all the time.
"I'm on the mound waiting for the pitcher, and he yelled at me. He says, 'You want to fight?' I said, `OK,"' Olivo said. "We're good friends. Maybe he just got a little excited. We play winter ball in the Dominican all the time. I don't care. He wants to be my friend? I'll be his friend. But I don't care."
Reyes' story was slightly different, though he also said the two are friends. He said Olivo was the one who asked him if he wanted to fight, so he answered yes -- but again thought they were simply joking.
Suddenly, though, Olivo charged at Reyes and took a swing that failed to connect.
"I'm too quick for that," Reyes said. "He (took) it serious. I don't know why."
Mets third base coach Sandy Alomar held off Olivo, and Florida third baseman Miguel Cabrera grabbed hold of Reyes as both teams poured onto the field. There was plenty of pushing and shoving, but it appeared no other punches were thrown.
Olivo was ejected -- and replaced by Hoover. Reyes wasn't tossed. He scored on Wright's single, making it 10-0.
Marlins star shortstop Hanley Ramirez appeared to be hit on the left hand by Maine's pitch in the fourth, though he wasn't awarded first base. Plate umpire CB Bucknor ruled it a foul ball off the knob of the bat.
Robert Andino replaced Ramirez, and X-rays on his hand were negative.
New York chased rookie Chris Seddon (0-2) in the second inning.
- It was the most strikeouts by a Mets pitcher since Al Leiter had 15 on Aug. 1, 1999, at Chicago.
- New York had a season-high 19 hits.

Husky identifies the location of its pipelines with above ground markers and provides information to the public, first responders and government agencies about how to work safely on or near this infrastructure.
Third parties who wish to work near Husky pipelines should notify both the Company and the One-Call service in their province.
At the time of construction, Husky's pipelines are buried to a depth that meets, and in some cases exceeds, legal requirements. If there are concerns about a pipeline's coverage, please contact the Company.
A right-of-way is a strip of land typically between 15 metres and 20 metres wide, which allows workers access to a pipeline. It also identifies the area where certain activities are prohibited, to keep the public and environment safe and to protect the integrity of the pipeline.
If a leak is suspected, protect yourself by leaving the area immediately and, if possible, moving upwind or crosswind and uphill.
The NEB's safety zone is a 30-metre zone on either side of a pipeline's right-of-way. It protects people, the environment and the pipeline. NEB's regulations govern activities on or within that safety zone:

In 1644 Abel Tasman became the first European to officially sight the island although he incorrectly assumed that it was part of the northern coast of Australia.
In 1818 Phillip Parker King, the son of NSW Governor Philip Gidley King, explored the island. King found to his surprise that the Aborigines knew some Portuguese words suggesting that they had made contact with Portuguese sailors and that a Portuguese ship had possibly been wrecked nearby. King named the island after Viscount Melville.
King sailed between Bathurst and Melville Islands and was the first European to discover the dangers of the changing tides in the narrow Apsley Strait. The mangroves on the coast and the low wooded hills were hardly inviting but this did not stop the government.
In 1824, convinced of the need to establish a settlement on the north coast of Australia, the British government sent a party to settle the area. Under the leadership of Captain J.J.G. Bremer three vessels left Port Jackson on 24 August, 1824. They arrived at Port Essington on 20 September and, determined to lay claim to the area, declared that the north coast of Australia from 129° to 135° east was a British colony.
On 26 September the party landed at King Cove and over the next month a settlement was built. On 21 October it was named Fort Dundas.
There was no reason, beyond a vague notion that the French or Dutch may lay claim to the region, to settle the area. This became very obvious when sickness, attacks from the local Aborigines and pirates, and dissension over policies caused pressures in the community. By 1826 the post was being wound down and it was officially closed in 1829. Today the site of Fort Dundas is known as Pularumpi and is home to a community of about 300 Tiwi people
It has long been thought that the wild buffalo which exist on the island were feral versions of buffalo brought by the Fort Dundas settlers. Certainly by the 1890s the herd had grown to such a size that they were hunted for their hides.
Like Bathurst Island in 1978 the ownership of Melville Island was formally handed back to the Tiwi people and today the island is run by the Tiwi Land Council. It is said that the word 'Tiwi' means 'people; we, the people; or, perhaps, we, the chosen people'. Certainly the Tiwi people are distinctively different in both their culture and personality to mainland Aborigines.

"This was a nice thank you card that matched my son's baptism invitation. It was a small card, but perfect to write a quick note and drop in the mail."
"For the price, you cannot go wrong with these. Nice paper quality, and they are simple yet pretty. Just what I was looking for!"
"The paper quality is wonderful! I was expecting it to be less thick than it is. I absolutely love the design. It is simple but still provides a bang when seen! Everyone who has received it have complemented on how beautiful it is. I definitely recommend it!"

Rdma::AsynchIO holds the data channel for a connection (the connection channel is held by Rdma::Listener or Rdma::Connector depending on the role of the connection) There is no relationship per se to an IO thread: when the code comments refer to "the thread" of a connection what they more correctly mean is correctly serialised with respect to that thread so that only one piece of code manipulating it is running at once.

Superhero Nation
Book by: BMacComic
Status: Finished
Genre: Science Fiction
Chapter1 (v.1) - Superhero Nation
Year Eleven
I do not expect to win a Pulitzer Prize for Superhero Nation. For one, it has a hell of a lot more gratuitous swearing, wanton bloodletting, inane adverbs and aliens than most Pulitzer winners.
I would like to deeply thank the people and agencies that made this work possible, particularly the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program, the Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts, College of Arts and Letters, and the University of Notre Dame. I would also like to thank the US Marine Corps, Office of Special Investigations, Social Justice League, and Federal Bureau of Investigations and their representatives for being as open about their work with a failed journalist as they have been.
A purely factual account of my perspective of the last eleven years would be abjectly pointless. I'm not telepathic, so I can offer at best informed speculation about what other individuals thought at any particular moment. This work is designed to offer informed speculation about what actually happened, based on thousands of hours of interviews, but obviously Mr. Mallow and some other crucial individuals are unavailable for comment.
Finally, this book is dedicated to everyone conspiring on my behalf, whether domestically or over there. These individuals know who they are; naming them would probably get them killed. Names and any other relevant facts have been changed to protect secret identities.
Without any further ado, I welcome you to Superhero Nation. You can read the first chapter here.

Former Surf City Chronicle reporter

Pictured for sale are two rare books that are quite interesting including a 1930's Policy Players Lucky Number Dream Book and Napoleon's Oraculum & 1912-13 Doan's Directory of the United States. One book talks about your dreams and predictions, and the other book gives the census for the United States in 1912-1913. Listed below is a description of each book and its condition:
1.)"Doan's Directory of the United States--1912 and 1913". This 32 page booklet goes into detail giving the census of towns and cities all across the United States. It is copyrighted in 1912 by the Foster-Milburn Drug Company. The booklet is sponsored by Doan's Kidney Pills of Buffalo, New York. The front cover shows a wonderful drawing of a couple coming home after a trip around the world being so happy to see the Statue of Liberty while the back shows a drawing a picture of a blacksmith who has a stiff back and may need Doan's pills to relieve his back pains. Throughout the booklet there are other Doan's products that will help in treating shingles, herpes, eczema, piles, rashes, salt rheum, rheumatism, blood purifiers, cuts, sprains, bruises, burns, scabies, tetter, itch, pimples, scald head, blackheads, and constipation. It's amazing how a few pills and an ointment helped in curing loads of problems in 1913. There are also actual first-hand stories from people who used the pills and the ointment that are sure to amaze.
**Condition: The front and back covers are in good- condition, clean and bright. The inside pages are in good condition, clean and bright. *Covers: There are tiny to small tears along the stapled edge, a very tiny piece missing from the top front edge, tiny to small crease marks and tears along the right front edge and left back edge, a piece missing from the right front edge and two tiny pieces missing from the left back edge, and a corner piece is missing from the bottom right front corner and the top left back corner. *Inside pages: There is very minor chipping along the right edge of the first two inside pages, a piece missing from the bottom right corner of the first inside page, a tiny piece missing from the bottom right corner of Page 11, and a small tear along the right edge of Page 31.
2.)"Policy Players Lucky Number Dream Book and Napoleon's Oraculum" published in the 1930's by the Model Publishing Company of Chicago. The complete title of the book is "Old Aunt Dinah's Policy Players Sure Guide to Lucky Dreams and Lucky Numbers" including Sibyl's Book of Fate, and The Complete Oraculum. This is one fantastic book. Listed below are the different Dream Book categories that are quite interesting:
A. Human Physiognomy: or, How to Discern the Character of a Man by External Appearances.
B. The Analyzation and Interpretation of Dreams. This section is amazing because it lists 42 pages of words that if you dream about will affect your life. Here are a few examples: The word Apes--To dream of apes is not good. The word Beans--To dream you're eating beans always signifies trouble and dissensions. The word Cheese--To dream you eat cheese, signifies profit and gain. The word Lettuce--To dream that one eats salads made of lettuce and other herbs they may be eaten raw, signifies trouble and difficulty in the management of affairs.
C. The Sybil's Book of Fate--a New Species of Divination, by means of Which Any Person may, without the Aid of Astrology, Procure Correct Answers to Questions Touching Future Events. After using Miss Sybil's system you may want to throw away the book. Here's a few sample questions given: Is my lover sincerely true and constant? What sort of a wife (If Any) shall I marry? Shall I marry the person I wish to?
D. The Signification of Moles on a man or woman. Yes Moles! Here's an example: A mole in the middle of the stomach, denotes one subject to dangerous disease or a mole on the eyebrow, signifies speedy marriage and a good husband.
E. Prognostications concerning the Birth of Children on a day of the month. Here's an example: A child born on the second day of the month is very lucky for discovering things lost, or hidden treasures; the child born on this day shall thrive.
F. Charms to Know Who Your Husband Shall Be.
G. Names To dream of persons' names signifies a free conscience and long life.
I. The Policy Players' Sure Guide on how to determine and find the Lucky Number by means of Dreams and Tables.
J. To dream of the Letters of the Alphabet signifies a high position in Society.
K. To dream of Each Month and what it signifies.
L. To dream of Dice and each spot and what they denote.
M. To dream of Dominoes, each one and what they denote, with the numbers attached.
N. To dream of Playing Cards and what they signify.
There are a total of 125 pages that will keep you entertained. From A to N there are a load of examples I could have given, but why spoil your fun as you read through this neat book.
**Condition: The front and back covers are in fair condition. The inside pages are in good to good- to fair+ condition. *Covers: There is surface wear to the spine, and the front and back covers.

When European patent law was drawn up in 1973, surgery was deliberately and explicitly excluded from patenting. However, the European Patent Office in Munich believes that "public attitudes have changed since 1973" and are now in favour of patenting surgical procedures.
Earlier this year there were passionate debates in the European Parliament as MEPs threw out an EC directive on patenting human genes. But the debate seems to have passed the EPO by as it believes that the public favours the idea that human genes should be the intellectual property of international drugs companies, rather than part of mankind's common heritage.
Next week the EPO is holding a meeting in Munich as part of a Pan-European public consultation on the future of the patent system. The organisation's bizarre misreading of public attitude towards patenting human genes was published in a preliminary consultation document. Although this was a public consultation and the report contained judgements of the public mood, the paper was circulated exclusively within the community of patent lawyers and companies interested in protecting their intellectual property. Only three outside organisations responded to the report: all were from the UK and had been alerted to the existence of the document because the Independent had happened to come across a copy of it.
Something is seriously wrong with an organisation that is so introverted and out of touch that it does not even realise it is isolated. In our technological society, the EPO's decisions may reach out from Munich to affect our lives - as we lie on the table in the operating theatre, for example. It is time someone shook it into the modern world.

Plot: James and Lily live off the grid, raising their young daughter in a cocoon of comfort and sustainability. When a mysterious mass text ripples its way across the country, triggering a crippling, apocalyptic cyber attack, their home transitions from sheltered modern oasis to a fortress for the estranged old friends that show up at their door for protection and community. The unexpected reunion–abundant with revelry and remembrances, generously enhanced by organic wine and weed–is quickly undermined by the slights of the past, the spark of lingering flirtations and the threat of a locally grown new world order. Balancing tense confrontations with slivers of levity, director Denis Henry Hennelly pinpoints a future where ideology explodes into action in every area.

One day, a little Dutch girl decided she wanted to go and see the tulips. Her family were visiting from the kingdom of the north, so they all went together. They hired a motor carriage and travelled the long distance, arriving at the tulip fields along with hundreds of other people, who parked their carriages in long rows in a neighbouring field.
The day was grey and a little bit rainy, but the gay colours of the tulips still stood out brightly. You could take a ride around the fields, or pick your own tulips, but the little girl and her family were happy to wander between the rows of flowers, admiring them, taking photos and getting lots of clay mud stuck to their shoes.
After looking at the tulips for so long, the little girl and her family were tired, so they went to the top of the tulip fields and bought some Dutch food from market stalls. They shared traditional Dutch chips with mayonnaise and drank Dutch beer, all the while watching an older couple play Dutch music live on the stage. The mother and sister even had a dance together on the footpath.
But that was not all the dancing at the tulip fields that day. At one in the afternoon, eight couples of advancing years stood up in a clearing and demonstrated traditional Dutch dances, wearing traditional Dutch costume. The crowd clapped their hands and hoped they would not be rained on.
Afterwards, the sister tried on a very big pair of Dutch wooden clogs, and had her picture taken with some of the Dutch dancers outside the Dutch clog shop. Then the little Dutch girl, mother and sister pretended to wear Dutch clothes by sticking their heads through holes in a wall. They looked very silly and decided not to buy any clogs or Dutch clothes of their own.
The little Dutch girl and her family had a very nice time seeing the tulips. They felt more Dutch than ever as they drove their motor carriage home again, where they lived happily ever after.
The Tesselaar Tulip Festival has been held annually each Spring since 1954, with over half a million tulips on display at 367 Monbulk Road, Silvan. It ran from 10am to 5pm daily between 11 September and 7 October this year, incorporating the September school holidays. The Dutch event was held from 19 to 21 September, and there were also Turkish, Irish, Children's, Seniors' and Jazz/Wine events over the course of the Festival. The 2015 Festival will run from 10 September to 6 October. Tickets are available online.
