Sadolin Classic Woodstain - Antique Pine - 2.5L is rated out of 5 by 6.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from as expected Sadolin stain was fine and has all been used for barn redecoration. The packaging was rather 'overkill'! For eight 2.5 L tins the packaging completely filled my large size recycling bin!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Excellent quality The Sadolin classic Woodstain Antique pine is a very good quality wood stain. It actually does what it says on the tin. It was easy to apply.The only problem was it did not appear to be Antique colour.with the first coat but it went a bit darker and not as orange as the second coat was applied but then it went more to the proper colour as it dried . Very pleased with the results. It is a bit more expensive than other brands but it was worth every penny

How to Unblock Websites
Websites can be blocked for a variety of reasons. Maybe you live in a country where social media and messaging services are blocked by the government? Or maybe you just want to watch the US Netflix library from abroad? Whatever your motive, we will show you why VPNs are the safest, fastest and most reliable way to unblock the web.
How to unblock websites with a VPN
Unblock sites, videos and streaming content in 3 steps
Whether you want to unblock websites while travelling or at school, on your iPhone or your laptop, simply follow these 3 steps and you will have a website unblocker for life:
- Download ZenMate's VPN to your browser, desktop or smartphone. ZenMate works with iOS, Android, MacOS, Windows, Chrome, Firefox and more. Click on 'DOWNLOADS' and choose the best for you.
- Once you have downloaded your site unblocker, follow the steps to create a ZenMate account.
- Now simply change your virtual location to whichever country the blocked site is available in. You will now be able to access blocked sites, streaming content and videos - no matter where you are.
How does a VPN unblock sites
Ever wondered how websites can be blocked to you based on your location? The answer to that is your IP address. Your IP address is a bit like your device's postal address and is a unique set of numbers used to identify your computer online. The bad thing about IP addresses is that they reveal your geographical location to any website you are trying to connect with. Therefore they can be used by companies or governments to block you from accessing certain sites.
Using a VPN allows you to change your IP address; VPN providers own servers based in different global locations and are therefore able to exchange your IP address with one of theirs. All you need to do is choose an IP address from the country which you would like it to appear you are accessing the web from and you can unblock anything. At ZenMate we have hundreds of servers based in 30 different countries, including the US and UK.
Why should I use a VPN as my website unblocker?
You should be using a VPN as your website unblocker as VPNs are the only safe, reliable and fast method for unblocking websites. This is because VPNs not only exchange your IP address, but they also encrypt all of your traffic, meaning that absolutely nobody, including governments, ISPs, hackers and criminals, can see what you are doing online.
"VPNs are the only safe, reliable and fast method for unblocking websites."
As a result, VPNs aren't only a website unblocker tool but are also a vital piece of software for anyone who doesn't want the government or advertisers tracking their every move online. VPNs are also useful for anyone who makes regular use of public Wi-Fi networks, such as those in hotels and coffee shops. As these websites are usually very vulnerable to hacking, using a VPN ensures that you don't have your banking details or password information stolen while using these networks.
Should I use proxy sites to unblock the web?
Many people use basic proxy websites as a quick fix when they encounter a site that is blocked to them online. However, these websites can massively undermine your online privacy and security and are often operated by cyber criminals who create a proxy server in order to gain access to anything you type online, including emails, passwords and credit card details.
To run a proxy infrastructure costs a lot of money and if a proxy site is for free then you should ask yourself how the people running the page are making a profit. If they aren't stealing your details then there is a good chance that they are logging your data and selling this information to advertisers. Best case scenario and your proxy site will be so flooded with ads that the slow speeds make them unusable. Want to know more? Check out this article by WIRED about the dangers using online proxies.
Unblock websites with ZenMate
ZenMate is a trusted and reliable VPN service with over 35 million users worldwide. We have servers based in over 30 different locations, including the US and UK, which means that you can unblock almost any website in the world by using our VPN. ZenMate vows to never log any of our users browsing data so that that nobody, including us, will know what you are doing online. We are committed to helping to build a secure, private and free internet. If you want to be a part of it, download ZenMate now.

Mickey and friends will of course be playing along with the theme and wearing their Halloween costumes, handing out candy for all trick-or-treaters...
... and it will be pumpkin galore all around...
The Halloween celebrations typically include attractions like the Main Street Graves Academy, a Cursed Jungle and the Revenge of the Headless Horseman at Adventureland, Trick or Treat fests and Masquerade Balls with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Pluto over at Fantasyland, a Halloween Fair at Grizzly Gulch, and of course the Boo-tique in Tomorrowland where you can stock up with all sorts of menacing Halloween paraphernalia.
There are shows and of course parades. Some years it is a Night Parade, some years a daytime parade with a Halloween theme. You can always bet on seeing all your favourite friends in fantastic colorful costumes.
And in typical Disney fashion, everything is spooktaculary decked out.
You will see all of your favourite villains, i.e. Captain Hook and the witch from Sleeping Beauty,
dancing pumpkins, cobwebs and vampires... and of course Mickey and the gang will be there to haunt you.
Besides the usual Disney friends, there are also some unique characters making an appearance during Halloween.
Look for the cannibalized Babyhead lurking in Toy Story Land, and in the past, there have been "Headless Horsemen" and even Jack the Pumpkin King from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Shows and entertainment vary from year to year, so get a copy of the daily show, parade and fireworks schedule on the day of your visit to make sure you don't miss anything you would like to see!
New this year is a daytime parade "Mickey's Halloween Time Cavalcade" with all our favourite Disney friends:
Take a peek here!

In addition, several attractions, shows and parades run under a different schedule.
These are some of the 2016 changes:
So, again, be sure to pick up the Times Guide at the entrance for the day of your visit which will include any revisions to the regular daily schedule to avoid dissapointment!

A hunger strike at the military detention center in Guantanamo Bay is exposing the brutal conditions that prisoners live under, and the torturous treatment they receive from guards. The details are gruesome, and now we know them, because of an op-ed by a prisoner at Guantanamo, Samir Naji al Hasan Moqbel, published by the New York Times, titled "Gitmo Is Killing Me." That's not a figure of speech either. Be warned, this gets ugly:
I could have been home years ago — no one seriously thinks I am a threat — but still I am here. Years ago the military said I was a "guard" for Osama bin Laden, but this was nonsense, like something out of the American movies I used to watch. They don't even seem to believe it anymore. But they don't seem to care how long I sit here, either.
Last month, on March 15, I was sick in the prison hospital and refused to be fed. A team from the E.R.F. (Extreme Reaction Force), a squad of eight military police officers in riot gear, burst in. They tied my hands and feet to the bed. They forcibly inserted an IV into my hand. I spent 26 hours in this state, tied to the bed. During this time I was not permitted to go to the toilet. They inserted a catheter, which was painful, degrading and unnecessary. I was not even permitted to pray.
I will never forget the first time they passed the feeding tube up my nose. I can't describe how painful it is to be force-fed this way. As it was thrust in, it made me feel like throwing up. I wanted to vomit, but I couldn't. There was agony in my chest, throat and stomach. I had never experienced such pain before. I would not wish this cruel punishment upon anyone.
This is torture. Official torture ended when President Obama took office, but unofficial torture by U.S. official continues at Guantanamo. For no reason. There is nothing we could possibly be gaining from treating there prisoners, some of whom seem to be there for no reason, like this. If gun control advocates can round up enough political pressure to get background check expansion through the Senate (not a done deal, but likely), we ought to be able to find enough political will to finally close Guantanamo. Candidate Obama said he would close Guantanamo in 2008, but ran into resistance, mostly from Republicans, and dropped it as a low legislative priority. Well, it's well past time to close that prison, release whoever is there for no reason, and start treating the people there like human beings.

The last two forms that were completed and submitted are spoofedAsked by mnmncal on June 06, 2013 at 07:18 PM
The last two forms on our account have some how been spoofed with my own name and my daughers name. I'm the owner of this account and would not be registering for a high school field hockey clinic. I'm 44 years old and my daughter has already been registered once before.
What is going on here?
I need help AS
AP as we will have several forms completed in the next few days here and need to know they are legit.
JotForm Support
Thanks for your message.
Well if that's the case then someone from you or someone who knows you tried your form out. We at JotForm team doesn't do such thing, that's strictly not allowed. If we are going to make tests with the users form, we usually ask permissions and enter values related to testing like "JotForm Support Test" or etc... Also, I don't think that's a spam since spams or bots usually submits random letters or generated characters. So, I highly suspect that someone from your team or someone from your place did it.
My suggestion is to track the IP who submitted that data, you can check that on your form submissions page.

Where Has the Time Gone?!?
Where oh where to begin......It's been awhile since the last blog huh??? Laziness. Maybe.... No..... Most defiantly..... with a mixture of nothing exciting happening would be the main reasons I have not updated my blog.
Sorry to my 15 followers!!!! ;)
No big changes have happened. I've been taking the girls to the orthodontist still, which by the way one of them might even get their braces off in October! Picking volunteers up from the airport is always a good time to people watch and to play "Snake Xenzia" when waiting. Sightseeing is helping me learn the city better and its history. I have also gotton the chance to take a few volunteers to a placement in Banepa, which is 26km east of Kathmandu. It's a really nice ride out there and only takes 1hr to get there. Any chance I get to get out of the city I'll take it in a second.
Some really good volunteers have gone and as always new ones have arrived. But whenever I come back it's hard to think that any group can be better than the previous group from last year.
When not working in the Volunteer Department I've been helping out Michael Hess who is the founder of this organization. Not big things but just helping here and there with painting gates, fixing things, taking things to be fixed, and just informing him about what volunteers are planning on doing. There is a group of women that Michael helps out and one of those women has 3 year old daughter who's pinky, ring, and middle fingers are joined together. So I've taking here to a childrens hospital in Banepa, which is also our placement there to have surgery. She should and hopefully be getting the surgery early next year. The picture below is the girl going in for surgery for her fingers. After that one is a pic of some of the kids playing on a rickshaw. The last photo is of the girls brother greeting me with "Namaste"
Life is good I guess. Your social life hits a huge decline because of getting only one day off work and always having to be present for volunteers, but at the same time I guess having volunteers rotating in and out helps out in a way cause you meet amazing people from all around the world. I have not really gotten sick too much since the last update (knock on wood). I had one scary accident where I fell off a wall and landed on pavement straight on my shoulder. I thought right there and then I broke my shoulder, but I think I just bruised it really bad. However that was almost 2 months ago and I still have pain when I move certain ways. I have also chipped my front back tooth. Nothing to serious, but still annoying.
If you have not heard yet I have gotten my visa extended to June 2012, which means I will have been here since January 2011 making it 18 months all together! That's a pretty long time and I hope to see more of Nepal in that time period. I have been here 8 months and it feels like no time has past. Sometimes I have a bad week or day and its really hard to stay motivated. You want to pack it all in, but then you realize that this a great opportunity. It feels like I have so much time ahead and that can be very overwhelming, but really the time to leave will creep up and be over. I'll sit on the plane home and say "where has the time gone?".
Cricket my new favorite sport....NOT
The Monsoon season is ending and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. My favorite time of the year is coming up which is September-January. Lots of Holidays/Festivals and it gets colder. I'll update again hopefully sooner than later.
Here are some pics I've taken of the past few months.

This month, we want to wish the very best of luck to two SJR alumni, Zach Lamothe '15 and William Liu '13, who, along with 119 other teams, pitched their startups to world-class judges and mentors, and have made it into the top 40 at McGill University, moving on to the Dobson Cup Finals on March 22! Over $100,000 in seed funding will be awarded to those holding the most promise.
The McGill Dobson Cup is McGill's flagship annual startup competition. Startups across four tracks – Innovation-Driven Enterprise, Small & Medium Enterprise, Social Enterprise and Health Sciences – will have the opportunity to compete. Both Zach and William, together with teammates, have made it to the finals, during which they will compete against each other, and eight other teams, in the Small & Medium Enterprise track.
In Zach's case, he'd actually entered the contest last year with the same business concept and a team of five. He and one of his teammates pursued the idea over the course of the year, refined the plan, began developing a website, and came back to the table this year with a more refined product. They are extremely excited to make it to the finals.
Zach's company, Encorre, is an online marketplace connecting musicians for hire with people hosting events in Toronto and Montreal – expanding soon. They hope to make it easier for amateur musicians to gain traction. William's company, Apollo, has the potential to increase interactive learning by providing innovative solutions through one-to-one educational services.
We're wishing the best of luck to both our alumni in the finals later this month, and are excited to see the impact of their innovative ideas!

The Lion is one of the Big Five of Africa. This egg has been decorated with a male lion on one side, and the same male with a lioness on the other side. These lion are in Kruger National Park. The background is the veld. Decoupage is the art of cutting and pasting cutouts to simulate paintings on a wood, metal, glass or in this case egg surface. Each egg takes twenty seven days to decorate, with forty to fifty coats of lacquer applied to acquire the high gloss finish. First the background is painted once it is dried a few coats of lacquer are applied with a light sanding between each layer, then the decoupage images are applied, several more layers of lacquer are applied with a light sanding between each.

About Lions
Lions are unique in that they are the only cats to live in groups (prides). They are the largest member of the cat family and the largest of all the African carnivores. They are the top predator in any African ecosystem where they live.
Lions are Tawny in color, varying from silvery yellow to reddish brown with paler undersides (female belly yellowish to almost white); yellow to black mane. Faint, leopard like spots are generally found on the young which is sometimes kept into maturity.
Males have thick mane around the head that extend down the chest between the forelegs and varies in color from blond to black, whereas females do not have manes
Lions have massive shoulders and strong forelimbs, long, sharp claws, and short, powerful jaws. A Lions' roar can be heard by humans more than 8 km away.
Prides of lions are generally composed of related females, whilst a typical prides contains around 13 lions, large prides can contain as many as 40 lions, while some prides will have a few as two members. A prides home range varies in size from 20-400 km.
Lions are mainly nocturnal and are reputed to sleep or rest for about 20 hours a day. You will often find them lying under a shady bush, particularly after they've fed following a kill.
As carnivores, feeding entirely on the flesh of other mammals, lions have 30 teeth, including large piercing canines to grab and kill prey, scissor-like molars to slice into flesh, and small incisors to scrape meat from bones. Much of their hunting is done at night and in the very early dawn. When feeding on a large kill, a lion can eat almost 36 kg of meat in one feeding and then not need to eat for several days. On average, a lion needs to eat about 5 kg of meat daily.
The lion is found throughout the south Sahara desert and in parts of southern and eastern Africa. They are generally seen on grassy plains, savannas, and dry woodlands but never seen in heavily forested areas. The lion can be found in most of the National Parks and Reserves in Africa.
All about Egg decoration.
The decorating of eggs (eggery) is a time honored tradition that has been around for hundreds of years.
Eggery is the art of decorating hatchery shells in the style of the famous Faberge egg. Carl Faberge, the father of modern-day egg decorating, used precious metals such as silver, gold, copper and nickel to construct an egg-shaped figure, then decorated them with rubies, diamonds and emeralds.
Over the last 3 centuries many cultures have developed endless methods of decorating eggs. The Moravian and Ukrainian (Pysanky) batik-designed egg patterned geometric fantasies, and their designs differ according to region or origin.
The practice of decorating ostrich eggs dates back centuries, and originated with the San or Bushmen who live in dessert regions, for them the egg symbolizes life, not just because an egg is a sign of fertility, but because the eggs were used as vessels to carry and store water, which in itself is life sustaining but when in a dessert region critical.
The custom of decorating eggs has many associations. The art of eggery did not begin with the Easter egg, although we don't know who the first decorator was, we do know that painted eggs as edible gifts were given by a Chinese chieftain in 722 B.C. to celebrate spring fertility festivals.
About the Ostrich.
The ostrich Struthio camelus is a large flightless bird native to Africa (and formerly the Middle East). It is the only living species of its family. It is distinctive in its appearance, with a long neck and legs and the ability to run at speeds of about 74 km/h (46 mph), the top land speed of any bird. The ostrich is the largest living species of bird and lays the largest egg of any bird species.
The diet of the ostrich mainly consists of plant matter, though ostriches do eat insects. The ostrich lives in nomadic groups which contain between five and 50 birds. When threatened, the ostrich will either hide itself by lying flat against the ground, or will run away. If cornered, it can cause injury and death with a kick from its powerful legs. Mating patterns differ by geographical region, but territorial males fight for a harem of two to seven females.
Ostriches are oviparous. The females will lay their fertilized eggs in a single communal nest, a simple pit, 30 to 60 cm (12–24 in) deep and 3m (9.8 ft) wide, scraped in the ground by the male. The eggs are glossy and cream in color, with thick shells marked by small pits. The eggs are incubated by the females by day and by the male by night. This uses the coloration of the two sexes to escape detection of the nest, as the drab female blends in with the sand, while the black male is nearly undetectable in the night.

Disclaimer: This is more of a fan-world than a prediction of the future. However, since it does involve prediction, I think it could fit here instead of necessarily going on PvZCC.
Recently, Garden Warfare got a new zombie, who goes by the name of Baron von Bats. While this is interesting on its own, it is subject to another fact: PvZ2 has not recieved the Garlic plant yet. Is it possible that Popcap is working on a level that would incude the two? Granted, England has already gotten its Dark Ages level, but America has the Present, Wild West, and Far Future levels.
Enter the Victorian Era, an realm of riches, class, and pride! But be careful, when the fog of London rolls in, scary thing can happen........... A fog-based daytime level in the 1800's.
New plants:
- Garlic
- Chomper
- Plantern
- Fanana (from my Feudal Japan level idea)
- Broco-motive
Cost: 225 Sun
Charges 4 spaces ahead, stunning all zombies in his path. Can be eaten while travelling back to the starting point, but fully heals when it reaches the station.
- Valvocado
Cost: 275 Sun
A hybrid between a steam pipe valve and an avocado. Has two modes: a short range steam blast for a lot of damage, or a longer range but weaker steam blast. Modes can be switched by tapping.
New zombies:
- Baron von Bats
Casts spell on / bites other zombies to turn them into Vampire Minions. Dies if he eats garlic. Must be on some tile as the other zombie to turn them into a minion.
- Vampire Minon
Has more health and moves faster than other zombies, turns backs to normal on eating Garlic.
- Two-Faced Zombie
Alternates between two forms, like Jekyll and Hyde. Each side has seperate health, so he has double health if he keep transforming. Cannot transform when stunned, and being slowed keeps him in one form longer.
Weakness: Winter-Melon, Broco-motive
- Crow Keeper
Lets loose crows from his birdcage.
- Zombie Crow
A speedy bird with basic health.
- Crypt Coach
A victorian coach that mysteriously appears at the left edge of you fog, then breaks down. The broken down coach contains other zombies inside.

BDO, an accounting and consulting firm, has released additional findings from its third annual PErspective study, which involved the survey of over 100 senior executives at PE firms throughout the U.S., conducted from October through December 2011. The findings show that private equity fundraising is on the rise, despite challenges.
63% of private equity fund managers reported that they would receive new commitments from Limited Partners in 2012, an increase from 56% in 2010 and a substantial improvement from 2009, when only 40% reported receiving new commitments. Although the majority of respondents acknowledged facing challenges in regards to fundraising, the number of funds that are either currently fundraising or planning to do so this year could lead to an upsurge in fundraising activity in the coming year.
According to the survey, holding periods have also increased, despite the significant number of mature portfolio companies in the market. The majority of private equity fund managers, 91%, indicated that their expected average holding period is longer than it was 12 months ago. Only 70% of fund managers indicated the same in 2011's study.

|Spoiler Alert: This page contains spoilers. Read at your own risk.
The International Magic Association (国際魔法協会) is an international organization established all throughout the world.
The International Magic Association was established in 2046. Its original purpose was to prevent the pollution of the Earth beyond what it could recover from through the use of radioactive and nuclear materials used in weapons of mass destruction. [1]
Due in part because of the role Magicians could play in ensuring the halt of nuclear weapons being used, they were able to seemingly free themselves from the control of their home countries and be permitted to intervene with their skills in border disputes. When combat among Magicians would occur on the front lines, both sides would cease their skirmish when they observed signs of the use of nuclear weapons regardless of which side was to blame, both sides would cooperate to stop the deployment of the nuclear weapons. The banning of nuclear weapons was established and became the paramount duty of Magicians around the world. [1]
Magicians are administered by the state as weapons of the state, and as such belong to the state. Private Magicians are forbidden from acting in any way that would go against their country of origins interests. Due to this, internationally, the rights of Magicians are significantly limited in comparison to those of non-Magicians. This is the reason for which the International Magic Association has no military force of its own. Magicians whom are apart of the International Magic Association aren't in great number to approach such a force. In return, the International Magic Association calls for the cooperation of each member state in order to implement multinational teams. In such situations violations of the Charter are discovered, the resulting country's national power would be asked to be reduced by fellow members. [2]
The International Magic Association's Charter was created for the purpose of targeting and dealing with radioactive materials that can be used for weapons that would contaminate the environment, not including "clean nuclear bombs". The detonation of a state of the art nuclear bomb made for large battles would make a small nuclear bomb an indispensable weapon, which resulted in the complete ban of nuclear weapons. [1]
The establishment of the International Magic Association Charter allowed for World War Three to be a period of time in which not a single nuclear weapon was used. Thanks in part because of this achievement, the International Magic Association was honored. It is internationally recognized as an agency of peace that holds a position of prestige in the world even after the end of WWIII. [1]
When it comes to matters that may be the cause of a "radiation emitting weapon", the International Magic Association investigates such matters if radiation is detected, thus the perpetrator being found to be in violation of the International Magic Association Charter. The Association abbreviates "radiation emitting weapon" as a weapon capable of contaminating the environment with residual radioactivity. In particular, the word "weapon" included in the clause any magic capable of leaving radioactive contamination. [2]
The Magic Association can take measures to block interference from others when action is taken at the highest level within the association. [3]
Japanese Magic Association
The Magic Association has secret lines of communication reserved for use by the Ten Master Clans, and even allows them access to top secret information from the Joint Chiefs. [4]
An online meeting of the Ten Master Clans can be conducted through a communication line from each members home through the nearest Magic Association office. [5]
It is customary for those from the Hundred Families to take office. Elections are held in June of every year and the new President takes office in July of that year. Tomitsuka Hitsui is the current President, whereas there have been no cases of an individual serving for no more than three years. [6]
The Main Headquarters for the Japanese Magic Association is located in Kyoto, while its primary branch is in the Kanto region. [7] There are also branch offices in Tohoku, Shikoku and Kyushu. [5]
Kanto Branch
It is known on the surface to the residents of Yokohama that the location of the Kanto Branch is housed in the Yokohama Bay Hills Tower, in order to keep a watchful eye over all vessels that enter Tokyo Bay and where the Offices for Defense Navy and the Maritime Police are disguised as civilian companies, whereas everyone else is none the wiser. [8]
Organized Activities
The National Magic High School Goodwill Magic Game Convention is sponsored by the Japanese Magic Association every year. [10]
The National High School Student Magic Sciences Thesis Competition is hosted by the Japanese Magic Association each year on the last Monday of October where the location is changed every other year between the Kyoto International Convention Center and the Yokohama International Convention Center, near the locations of the Magic Association Headquarters in Kyoto and the branch office in Yokohama. [7]
It is known that in 2062 a cultural exchange program sponsored by the Asian Branch of the International Magic Association went on, however, during this cultural exchange while in Taipei, Yotsuba Maya was abducted and Saegusa Kouichi suffered injuries from assailants linked to the Kunlunfang Institute of Dahan.

New Delhi: The Union Sports Minister M S Gill has sent a strong message across the border by saying that Indian cricket team should not tour Pakistan in the wake of Mumbai terror attack.
Gill said that it is not the right time to play cricket with Pakistan when "people from their soil were indulging in mass murder in India".
"Is it possible for one team to arrive in Mumbai and indulge in mass murder, and have another team go and play cricket in the winter afternoon sun at Lahore, immediately after," he asked while addressing the media today .
Gill"s comment comment came at a time when Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) chairman Ejaz Butt was scheduled to meet International Cricket Council (ICC) Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat and BCCI officials at Chennai in a bid to salvage the series.
The Indian team is scheduled to play five one-day, three Tests and a Twenty20 match during the tour starting from January 6.
Gill reiterated that sporting contact meant to enhance friendship and the cricket series was not a commercial drama to go ahead under the surveillance of thousands of security personnel.
He commented that commercial reasons should not be a factor in deciding the fate of the series.
"I have played cricket. I know the spirit of cricket. Cricket is not commerce," he said, adding "sports contact is for enhancing friendship between human beings, above all neighbours," he said.
India's junior hockey team tour, Champions Trophy cricket and Australia''s cricket tour of Pakistan were also cancelled earlier this year due to security concerns.
Pressing the fact that the Government should be the last agency to decide whether to go ahead with the tour or not he said,"Pakistan should first promise that it would help the world to stop terrorism."
"It requires those in authority in Pakistan to give a clear indication, satisfactory to the world, of doing everything possible to prevent such murderous incursion, and to root out the basis of it all," Gill said.

Christie's auction house posts first loss in five years
London-based Christie's International, the world's leading auction house by revenue, on Tuesday reported a five percent fall in annual sales with economic uncertainty damping demand in emerging markets.
Bucking five straight years of growth, the company recorded sales of £4.8 billion ($7.4 billion, 6.8 billion euros) in 2015, down from £5.1 billion in 2014.
The figures still represent Christie's second-best performance ever.
"The froth is starting to come off," Anders Petterson, founder and managing director of research group ArtTactic, told Bloomberg.
"Looking back, in terms of auction sales, 2014 was the peak of the market."
In its Old Masters, 19th century and Russian art category, Christie's recorded a 37 percent loss, and a 14 percent loss in its postwar and contemporary auctions.
Private sales slumped by 39 percent to £554.9 million but Impressionist and modern art rose 57 percent to £1.3 billion.
ArtTactic said Monday that plunging stock and bond markets, falling oil prices and fears about China's economy were sowing caution in the art market.
Christie's claimed the top three highest selling works sold globally in 2015, including Pablo Picasso's "Les Femmes d'Alger (Version O)", which fetched $179.4 million at an auction in New York in May.

Züchter: Victory Seeds
Location: indoor, outdoor, greenhouse
Sorte: ruderalis/sativa
Blütezeit: Automatisch blühend
~77 Tage (von der Keimung bis zur Ernte.)
Nur feminisiert verfügbar.
Victory Seeds - Auto Amnesia Haze
The Amnesia Haze Automatic is the result of many years breeding. The biggest downside of Sativa strains like Amnesia is that it can take a while to flower, 12 weeks on average, but some phenotypes can take up 20 weeks. She can also grow quite tall; this can be another issue for some with limited space. The Amnesia Haze Automatic aims to solve these problems. Offering the same euphoric high and spicy, sweet taste as the original Amnesia but with a heavily reduced growth time and a much smaller height. Indoors she will take around 80 days from seed to bud. In this time she can grow quite large, especially when compared to other autoflowering strains. This is a clear sign of her Sativa dominant genetics - tall plants, large thin leaves and long stretching buds. The Amnesia Haze Automatic is a vigorous plant that can grow to heights of around 80-150 cm. This large Sativa dominant autoflowering strains, much like the original Amnesia, gives generous yields of high quality hazey buds. After 80 days of growth and flowering you will be left with a good yield, around 40 grams on average and up to 150 grams in ideal conditions. She gives long, fox tail like buds with a sweet, spicy, musky aroma. All in all she has the classic Amnesia aroma, flavour and effect. The Amnesia Haze Automatic is the perfect autoflowering variety for lovers of the Haze.
Indoor flowering period: 7-8 weeks
Outdoor harvest time: 11 weeks
Indoor yield: 400 g/m2
Outdoor yield: 60-200 g/plant
Height: 70-160 cm

On Red alert: Next mission to Mars will directly sample atmosphere
Mars has changed. After almost 50 years of spacecraft imaging, landers and rovers examining the planet that we know as a cold, arid and desolate world suggest that Mars has not always been such a forbidding place.
Pictures taken from orbit around Mars show that the exterior of the Red World has features that appear to have been formed by liquid water. On its surface, chemical testing — in particular by the rover Opportunity — implies that there was once standing water there.
If liquid water had been present, then the Red Planet was once a warm environment. The next mission to Mars, scheduled for launch on Nov. 18, will help scientists understand why the planet has changed and how it is currently changing.
Early History
Exploring Mars up-close with spacecraft began on Nov. 5, 1964, with the launch of the Mariner 3 mission. Although the spacecraft had a successful lift-off, once in Earth orbit the rocket's nose cone failed to open and release the spacecraft. Its twin, however, Mariner 4, had a successful launch and became the first spacecraft to fly by another planet on July 14-15, 1965.
Mariner 4 returned 21 pictures of Mars that covered 1 percent of the planet. Its images showed a cratered, moon-like terrain that later missions, by contrast, would find is not typical for Mars. Data from the Mariner 4 probe showed that Mars had a daytime temperature of 150 degrees below zero and no magnetic field, information that would be confirmed by later missions.
The first successful dual mission to fly by Mars was Mariner 6 and 7. These spacecraft left Earth in early 1969 and reached the Red Planet in late July of that year. Both spacecraft flew over the equator and south polar region of Mars at less than half the distance that Mariner 4 was from the planet.
The two probes photographed roughly 20 percent of the planet's surface, showing dark features that had been seen from Earth, and illustrated that these so-called "canals" were only an illusion.
Mariner 8 and 9 were the next set of missions to Mars and were launched in May 1971. The rocket that launched Mariner 8 failed but Mariner 9 successfully made the trip to Mars. On Nov. 14, 1971, it became the first spacecraft to orbit another world.
Mariner 9 imaged the entire Martian world with the sharpest images of any mission to that point. The pictures showed dried riverbeds, extinct volcanoes and the largest canyon known in the solar system. The canyon was named after the spacecraft and is known as the Mariner Valley.
Mariner 9 also found evidence of fog, wind and water erosion on the Martian surface and photographed the two small moons of the planet, Phobos and Deimos.
Atmosphere the key
These early missions had the engineering goals of demonstrating and developing technologies required for future Mars missions and the science goal of establishing a foundation for potential investigations of the Red Planet, particularly those relevant to the search for life there. A planet's atmosphere is the key to life and, as studies of Mars have shown, the key to an atmosphere is the planet's magnetic field.
Earth generates its magnetic field deep in its core where hot, molten metal flows. This field surrounds our planet and plays the important role of deflecting high-speed charged particles flung off the surface of the sun known as the solar wind.
Just as a pea will cool off faster than a potato, Mars — about half the size of Earth — lost most of its internal heat during the first 2 billion years of the solar system; since Earth is larger, it still retains much of its internal heat.
Once the core of Mars cooled, the molten metal there stop flowing and its magnetic field diminished.
Now the Red Planet is no longer protected from the solar wind. Collisions between these high-speed particles and the Martian atmosphere slowly knock the molecules of its air into space. This process has been gradually eroding the atmosphere for billions of years. The next mission to Mars will investigate the details of this process.
MAVEN to Mars
The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Mission (MAVEN) will examine the uppermost regions of the Martian atmosphere from low orbit and by flying through the highest portions of the Mars atmosphere. Scientists will use the data sent back by this probe to learn what effect the loss of molecules such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen and water from the air of Mars to space has had over time.
If MAVEN launches as scheduled on Nov. 18, it will arrive at Mars on Sept. 22. After five weeks to stabilize its orbit for data collection and to perform instrument calibration, MAVEN will be tracking only 90 miles above Mars, where it will make most of its observations. Throughout the mission, it will also execute five "deep dip" maneuvers down to 77 miles altitude that will each last five days. At that height, it will directly sample the upper atmosphere of Mars.
MAVEN is designed to work in coordination with Curiosity, the rover of the current Mars Science Laboratory mission that landed on Mars on Aug. 6, 2012. By synchronizing these two active Mars missions, scientists hope to gain insight into the history of the planet's atmosphere and ultimately an understanding of the past existence of liquid water on Mars as well as the planet's past habitability.
November Sky
Venus will continue to brighten throughout November. It can be seen in the southwestern evening sky and it will set about the same time throughout the month. During the late evening, Jupiter rises from the northeast and appears against the stars of Gemini; its whitish-blue orb outshines the bright twin stars Castor and Pollux.
As the sun comes up over the east-southeastern horizon on the morning of Nov. 3, it will be undergoing a partial solar eclipse. Special safe solar filters will be needed to view this event, which will last about 45 minutes.

The FBI released more documents related to the investigation into Hillary Clinton. The report stated "hostile foreign actors" garnered access into her personal email accounts AND of individuals with whom the Democrat presidential candidate regularly corresponded, as per LawNewz.
Did foreign hackers get into the DNC email system BECAUSE of Hillary Clinton and her unsecured home-brew server? Such a scenario now seems highly likely, folks. No wonder the Obama-controlled CIA head does not want to share exactly how they learned who hacked into the email of Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta.
The revelation about the hacking should have been huge news. After all, the mainstream media have been talking about virtually nothing but the Russian hackers for weeks now.
The newly released Hillary Clinton documents can be found in full on the agency's website. The documents also contain information relating to the FBI investigation into the career politician AFTER they received additional emails from Clinton's attorney and her computer hardware.
There are five sets of Hillary documents released by the FBI. The first set revealed 940 emails associated with Hillary Clinton's personal account from October 25, 2010 to December 31, 2010; a total of 56 have been identified as currently at the confidential level.
Also, 302 of the 940 emails in the FBI document dump, identified in the Gmail account, were not found in the set of emails produced to the State Department in 2014. Why not? Will she be charged with withholding information or obstruction of justice?
One of those 302 emails Hillary Clinton did not turn over, as mandated, was classified as secret. We don't know what the classified email said, but apparently some other country does!
The FBI released the Hillary Clinton documents without even issuing a press release about the material now being publicly available, much less the shocking particulars contained inside. During the latter days of the presidential race, the DOJ and FBI stated repeatedly there was no proof any foreign entity had garnered access to the emails, but now suddenly they know a non-American bad actor had gotten a peek?
The amount of classified information a hostile foreign government could now have in their hands because of Hillary Clinton's secretive private server is terrifying.
If Clinton regularly corresponded with Obama, intelligence officials, and world leaders, which she did, our enemies could now know far more about what is going on inside the United States government than We the People do!

Re-proving Channel Polarization Theorems: An Extremality and Robustness Analysis
The general subject considered in this thesis is a recently discovered coding technique, polar coding, which is used to construct a class of error correction codes with unique properties. In his ground-breaking work, Arikan proved that this class of codes, called polar codes, achieve the symmetric capacity --- the mutual information evaluated at the uniform input distribution ---of any stationary binary discrete memoryless channel with low complexity encoders and decoders requiring in the order of $O(N\log N)$ operations in the block-length $N$. This discovery settled the long standing open problem left by Shannon of finding low complexity codes achieving the channel capacity. Polar codes are not only appealing for being the first to 'close the deal'. In contrast to most of the existing coding schemes, polar codes admit an explicit low complexity construction. In addition, for symmetric channels, the polar code construction is deterministic; the theoretically beautiful but practically limited "average performance of an ensemble of codes is good, so there must exist one particular code in the ensemble at least as good as the average'' formalism of information theory is bypassed. Simulations are thus not necessary in principle for evaluating the error probability which is shown in a study by Telatar and Arikan to scale exponentially in the square root of the block-length. As such, at the time of this writing, polar codes are appealing for being the only class of codes proved, and proved with mathematical elegance, to possess all of these properties. Polar coding settled an open problem in information theory, yet opened plenty of challenging problems that need to be addressed. This novel coding scheme is a promising method from which, in addition to data transmission, problems such as data compression or compressed sensing, which includes all types of measurement processes like the MRI or ultrasound, could benefit in terms of efficiency. To make this technique fulfill its promise, the original theory has been, and should still be, extended in multiple directions. A significant part of this thesis is dedicated to advancing the knowledge about this technique in two directions. The first one provides a better understanding of polar coding by generalizing some of the existing results and discussing their implications, and the second one studies the robustness of the theory over communication models introducing various forms of uncertainty or variations into the probabilistic model of the channel. See the fulltext of the thesis for the complete abstract.

Dear Poll: Have You Dated Down?
Have you ever walked down the street and wondered why she was with him? That's the first thing I thought when I saw Cate Blanchett and Andrew Upton. Sometimes couples seem to be mismatched, even celebrity couples. Of course, when you don't know their personalities, it's hard to decipher what it is that makes the individuals attracted to one another, but let me ask you this: Have you ever dated a guy that people thought wasn't attractive enough for you?

State Appeals Ruling That Would Force Officials to Actually Prevent Foster Kids From Being Abused and Raped
Screenshot, Texas Department of Family and Protective Services website.
In an appalling but not unsurprising move, state officials are appealing a federal judge's December ruling ordering an overhaul of a foster care system that, according to the ruling, has shown deliberate indifference to children's safety.
Judge Janis Jack found in favor of New York-based advocacy group, Children's Rights, that sued the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services and other agencies in 2011 on behalf of roughly 12,000 foster kids in the state's Permanent Managing Conservatorship program — essentially kids stuck in the system until they age out at age 18. The group claimed that the state had violated the children's Constitutional rights to be protected from unreasonable harm.
Jack ordered the appointment of a special master to implement a major overhaul, including how abuse allegations are investigated. At trial, DFPS personnel testified that the agency's internal study of 111 abuse claims that had been ruled "unable to determine" were found to be 75 percent inaccurate. In the eight cases where abuse was found to have taken place, the agency allowed the kids to remain in the care of their abusers.
But last week, the state filed a notice of appeal, claiming that state officials "are likely to succeed on the merits of the appeal because the Court's conclusion that the foster care system creates an unreasonable risk of harm to [the children] is unsupported by law."

The state also argues that there were flaws in how the 12,000 foster care children were class-certified, alleging that the children's placements and individual levels of need are too dissimilar to be legally lumped together.
The state also argues that if the Fifth Court of Appeals doesn't stay Jack's ruling, it will "irreparably harm Texas's management of its foster care system."
This seems especially arrogant, given that the evidence produced in the trial showed just how poorly Texas was already "managing" the foster care system.
"When a federal court finds that a foster care system has been hurting the very kids that it is supposed to protect, it is time to stop stalling and fix what has long been broken," Children's Right contended in a statement. "We will vigorously oppose Texas' latest efforts to defend a system that allows thousands of our children to suffer abuse, neglect and instability."
Updated, Jan. 12: Judge Jack has denied the State's motion to stay the injunction. The appeal is still pending.

For 2011 models, Ford will be adding a new high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane routing preference to the navigation menu.
HOV, or carpool lanes, are popular among commuters in highly-populated states such as California, New York, Texas and Virginia – along with cities such as Washington D.C., Seattle and Atlanta – because they allow vehicles with multiple passengers to use designated lanes for faster travel.
Drivers traveling with passengers will be able to set the HOV guidance option on the navigation preference menu. Once engaged, the system will map routes using HOV lanes where appropriate when a destination is entered. Users will know that routes contain HOV lanes when they see a white diamond icon illuminated on the map during route selection.
As a bonus, owners of Ford hybrid vehicles, including the Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner, could be eligible in certain states for special HOV lane passes that allow single-occupant travel in the carpool lanes, making the combination of hybrid and an HOV-enabled navigation system a highly fuel- and time-efficient form of travel.
In addition to the new HOV logic for 2011, the Ford voice-controlled navigation system will also receive:
* Branded point-of-interest icons – for example, Starbucks, Mobile or Holiday Inn – will appear on mapping screens, and higher-density street labeling, showing more street names per zoom level on navigation maps
* HD Radio technology, allowing users to receive free over-the-air digital FM broadcasts where available
* Integration with SYNC Traffic, Directions, & Information app, enabling new features like the ability to download destinations sent from a home or work computer from Mapquest (late availability).

Recognize & Address America's Long-Standing, Expanding National Epidemic of Childhood Abuse & Neglect
When & Why Did Our Moms Become Less Than Human?
Hi. I am puzzled by something, perhaps someone can help?
Who is responsible for influencing or conditioning many young Americans of African descent to characterize our moms, sisters, grandmas, daughters and aunts as less than human creatures?
Growing up in the 60s, year after year I'd roll out of bed in the morning, crank up my 9v transistor radio listening to contemporary sounds, including a new genre of American music its artists, composers, lyricists and producers called Motown.
My Motown musician friends wrote and performed music that made me smile, wanting to dance, celebrate life and wanting to experience the love between a man and a woman they were constantly telling me about. Every hour of every day I could tune in my radio and listen to my talented Motown musician friends singing songs praising and loving women
Listening to these musicians celebrating life and loving women conditioned me to believe they are good, peaceful people deserving of respect, admiration and a large "Thank you" for sharing their musical talent with me, my friends and our world.
What I am trying to figure out is why today, many of my Motown friend's children and grandchildren are writing contemporary music performance lyrics that clearly are demeaning and HATING on each other, as well as writing lyrics demeaning women, our moms, sisters, grandmas, daughters and aunts, characterizing women as "bitches and whores," essentially less than human not deserving of respect?
Which is pretty much how greedy or genuinely ignorant early Euros characterized the African people they abducted and enslaved.
What happened? Why have females fallen out of favor with many young people who write rap hip hop performances?
Another question.
Today when ten-year-old American kids wake up, tune into their fav contemporary radio station, listening to lyrics describing anti-social activities and behaviors their parents, community and educators are telling them are harmful to them, their neighbors and community, what opinions, if any, will these 5th grade elementary school children form about the music performers writing music lyrics describing anti-social behaviors and activities that often emotionally traumatize and physically harm individual peaceful people and the neighborhoods they live or work in?
Dating back to the early-mid 80s when Brooklyn rappers were selling their CDs from car trunks, many music performers and artists of African descent were performing raps that characterized the maternal half of our population, as less than human *itches?
Who or what is responsible for influencing their hateful and demeaning rap lyrics?
What subliminal messages are today's youngsters learning when they hear mega-popular Americans of African descent characterizing women, aka our moms, sisters, grandmas, daughters, aunts and nieces, as *hores, not worthy of respect?

This video depicts horrific examples of men who were victims of childhood abuse and neglect, conditioning a young teen to embrace 'The Street' culture Baltimore Mom of The Year failed to protect her teen son from…not to mention representing the fear peaceful people living and WORKING in the community experience knowing depressed, angry, unpredictable teens and young adults need to vent their angers and frustrations for being introduced to a life of pain and struggle by irresponsible, "living wild" single moms and/or dads.
A little girl, catching a cool breeze from an air conditioning unit in the yard, was blindsided by another child about her same age, who had evidently had some practice with fighting fierce. The small victim wasn't alone, as there were plenty of nearby witnesses, who could have protected her but didn't because they were too busy recording the brutal beat down and encouraging it. | Written By Amanda Shea
What I see in this recorded act of criminal child abuse, is adults conditioning children to embrace the cycle of child abuse, child maltreatment and violence passed down from generation to generation by depressed Americans who are content living in the poverty they are primarily responsible for fueling when irresponsibly birthing children from selfishness, instead of the love between two committed adult partners.

Read about how Tupac's drug addicted mother accepted proceeds of the harmful anti-social acts Tupac raps/writes about committing against his peaceful neighbors. I have to tell you, reading Tupac's lyrics brings back a lot memories of the horrific emotional child abuse I witnessed during the nearly twelve year I provided police services to Shawn Carter's community.
Shawn "Jay Z" Carter (born December 4, 1969) is another victim of child abuse/neglect who raps/writes about the physical harm and fear he caused to his peaceful neighbors and community.
Reading Shawn "Jay Z" Carter describe the pain he caused to his neighbors and community, brought back painful memories, causing me experience much of the same anxiety and pain I experienced from personally witnessing the physical and emotional pain young Shawn Carter caused to individuals as well as an entire housing complex and surrounding neighborhoods.

Alcohol bootleggers have been getting shutdown by the police force. Without this service, the bootleggers would be out of business and probably in jail. This is like prohibition in the U.S. and those who sold alcohol were fined and also arrested. The same thing is happening here where the bootleggers are trying to make huge money by selling something thats outlawed.
Nicole Kearsch's curator insight, September 10, 2014 2:36 PM
Interesting to see this happening in other areas of the world besides the United States during the times of prohibition. If there is a will there is a way.
Benjamin Jackson's curator insight, December 14, 2015 11:57 AM
this makes sense. even in regions controlled by Muslim extremest people are people and they want their booze. this is a perfect example of the reason why you cannot punish all people of a certain group for the actions of a few.

During the power struggle, the leader Shaman calls forth two shamans to attack Jack, vertically or horizontally.
After Jack kills some of the leader Shaman's team, he tries to attack Jack on his own, however Jack knocks out the leader and kicks the leader in the face multiple times.

Israel 'ready' for Gaza assault after rocket attack
Israel has warned that its forces are prepared to launch a major military assault on Gaza, after a rocket attack wounded at least 14 people while US President George W Bush was in Israel.
"The Israeli army has never been this ready to launch a large-scale operation in Gaza," said Infrastructure Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer, a member of Israel's security cabinet.
"It may be that we have no choice but to destroy all the nests of terror. Apparently we'll have no choice."
Hamas, the Islamist group that runs the impoverished territory, is preparing defensive positions in anticipation of a possible military incursion, Israeli's military intelligence chief, Major General Amos Yadlin, told the Haaretz newspaper.
Mr Bush, on a five-day trip in the Middle East, told Israel it could rely on continued US backing.
"America stands with you in breaking up terrorist networks and denying the extremists sanctuary," Mr Bush said in remarks prepared for delivery to Israel's Parliament.
"Israel's population may be just over seven million. But when you confront terror and evil, you are 307 million strong, because America stands with you."
Two small Palestinian militant groups claimed responsibility for Wednesday's rocket attack on a shopping mall in southern Israel, which came as Bush held talks in Jerusalem.
Israel says Hamas bears ultimate responsibility for such attacks because the Islamist movement has been in control of Gaza since ousting forces loyal to Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas in June.
Gaza militants regularly fire rockets at southern Israel, but their artillery has a limited range.
