Øm Abbey was a Cistercian monastery founded in 1172 in the Diocese of Aarhus near the town of Rye in central Jutland, Denmark.
According to the abbey chronicle, Øm Abbey was founded in 1172 by Cistercian monks from Vitskøl Abbey in northern Jutland. They wanted to found a daughter house in central Jutland. They attempted to establish such a house at Sabro near Århus but found the soil useless for farming. They moved to Sminge near Silkeborg and found the same poor soil conditions, and then in 1166 they settled a short time at abandoned Veng Abbey, outside Skanderborg. They left in 1167 because of unresolved land disputes with Lady Margrethe. They tried for four years to establish themselves at Kalvø in Lake Skanderborg, but the winters proved to be too harsh. The monks finally settled on a patch of land near the town of Rye between Moss Lake and Guden Lake surrounded by water and marsh. The site was overgrown with brush and surrounded by forest.
The abbey was dedicated to the Virgin Mary and was called 'Cara Insula' or the "dear Island".
The Øm Abbey Chronicle was written by local monks from 1206 to 1267 when it abruptly ends. It outlines events at the abbey during the tumultuous years of the early 1200s.
Bishop Svend of Århus trasferred many of his own holdings to Øm Abbey and then retired there to live out his days among the monks. He was buried in front of the high altar. Abbot Michael, the twelfth abbot, was buried in the chapter room in the unfinished church. Bishop Peder Elafssen of Århus was buried in the church in 1246, years before it was completed. Abbot Jens (1246-1249) was wounded while trying to prevent bandits from stealing horses from the abbey.
The second abbey church was completed in 1257 built of red bricks, the most common building material of the day in the region. It was built in late Gothic style, with a nave nad a transept, but had an irregular shape.
One event which caused trouble for Øm Abbey was the suspicion that the monks harbored Abbot Arnfast of Ryd Abbey who was accused of having murdered King Christopher I of Denmark by giving him poisoned communion wine during mass at Ribe Cathedral in 1259. Abbot Arnfast was supposed to have poisoned the king for his persecution of Archbishop Jacob Erlendsen. A thorough search failed to produce Arnfast, who had fled the country, but any regard that Christopher's son, King Eric V, had had for the Cistercians vanished.
In 1260 the Dowager Queen Margaret Sambiria, who was Christopher's widow and the mother of King Eric, stayed at the abbey for two days with an army of 1,600 knights. The chronicle bemoans on the heavy cost of such a royal visit.
The next two Bishops of Århus were not kindly disposed to Øm Abbey. They reclaimed some of the properties given by earlier bishops. They also claimed the right of hospitality at the abbey for themselves and their followers, which angered the monks. The Cistercians continued to support Archbishop Jacob Erlandsen in his struggle with King Valdemar. The chronicle ends abruptly in 1267 and was not added to by subsequent writers.
At its height in the late 1400s, the abbey consisted of the church, hospital and hospital cemetery, library, chapter house, refectory, dormitory, cloister and cloister garden, and a guest house. The abbey measured approximately 120 meters by 80 meters. It was one of Denmark's richest houses with land holdings, mills, and a well-recognized hospital. Cistercians were excellent farmers and over time the abbey came into possession of many properties which brought additional income and prestige.
One of the important improvement the monks made to the site was to build three canals. Brother Martin discovered that Moss Lake was about a cubit higher than Lake Guden. The monks used that difference to build two canals near the abbey, one to bring fresh water to the abbey and a second to serve as a primitive sewerage system. The third canal built farther away from the abbey connected the two lakes and was used to transport goods through the lake region.
The abbey prospered especially during and after the reign of Queen Margaret I of Denmark. By 1510 the abbey owned 250 properties all over central Jutland.
The Reformation in Denmark brought about the end of the abbey. When Denmark became officially Lutheran in 1536, the abbey was allowed to continue operating with the monks already there, but no new monks were to be admitted. In 1560 the last monk was moved to Sorø Abbey on Zealand, and the land and buildings became crown property under Frederik II. Just a year later, in 1561, Frederik II ordered the buildings to be demolished, and the stone, timber, and bricks used to extend Skanderborg Castle. The land on which the abbey had been located was divided into four large estates in 1571.
The town of Emborg grew on the site of the abbey and now surrounds the it, which has become part of the National Historic Museum system of Denmark.

Elixir of business - it is an opportunity to improve business performance. Generally course the phrase "business Elixir" may look funny, awkward and serious. This is due to the fact that business is considered a serious matter, and the word is associated with a type of magic elixir, ie something fantastic and frivolous. Such associations are not accidental. Image of a businessman who looks almost like a devil, especially pumped through the media and through the different movies. This is done in order to cut a lot of people who do not look like the devil and do not feel their way into the business.
Many people see what should be a real businessman, understand that they are not, and refuse it in favor of one, then to get a job to the "spitting image of a businessman." In fact, to be a businessman do not need to look like a "Terminator", and indeed the appearance of business does not play any role. The main role in the business of playing internal quality, not visible to the eye. These qualities affect the business performance.
So, a person who wants to be a businessman, does not have to direct horror on other people, because it is not a prerequisite in order to be a successful businessman. In turn, the business there is nothing magical elixir, everything is real. For example elixir business uses, Apple, and for this reason it has an effective business. Elixir of business is merely an idea. But do not confuse the idea with the thought that crept into his head.
Usually, a person believes that the idea that he came up with - this is the idea. On the one hand it is, but on the other hand it is not so. Indeed, the idea enters the head man, but she is no longer the idea as such in this case. The idea - a reflection of the ideas that penetrated the man, in his mind. In other words, the idea is an idea, but not a pure idea, an idea that has been transformed consciousness, and therefore has a different designation - thought. The idea in its pure form - it is an idea, and the idea that gets into the human consciousness - that's the idea, because it has a slightly different properties than pure.
The idea - it is one of the elements of our world, one of the building blocks of our world, along with electrons, protons, molecules, material, physical objects. The idea - it can be said is the smallest particle of the world from which the particles are formed and then the other. However, the idea is immaterial, it does not have the structure, it has no mass, it does not speed. We can say that the idea - it's an absolute entity has absolute properties, it is very clear that there may be in this world, without any impurities. It is because the idea is clean, it has no mass, has no color, has no odor, does not have a structure generally has characteristics typical of matter. However, the idea has such properties as long as it is one as it is in itself. When the idea of integration with another idea, in some cases, it loses its purity, it is becoming a matter. What a lot of other ideas communicates this idea, the more "dirty" and the more material it becomes.
However, not every time the idea of interacting with another idea loses its absolute properties, not every time is becoming a matter. In some cases, the interaction leads to the formation of ideas new idea. For example, there is the idea of "action at a distance", which is reflected by the word "body." There is also the idea of the word "see", which is reflected through the word "vision" in the English language. The interaction of two ideas led to the formation of a new idea of "vision at a distance", which is reflected through word TV. In television, this idea just yet and implemented. A similar picture with the phone, telegraph, teleport. All of them formed from two ideas, one of which "a big effect on the distance." Thus, it becomes obvious that you can get a new idea in the event that carried out the interaction of available ideas. Accordingly, the secret of making the elixir of business open. To get it, you need to implement the interaction of two ideas.
By doing this, you can easily improve business performance.
The question arises, and where do we get these two ideas to make them the elixir of business in order to improve business performance? Take two ideas quite easily. Many ideas have penetrated into the head of different people. Accordingly, it is possible to get them from other people. To do this, you need to communicate as much as possible with a large number of people. The more communication, the more ideas you can get for yourself. You can communicate directly face to face, as well as indirectly, through the form in which the people embodied ideas they come to mind. Among these forms: books, magazines, newspapers, Websites on the Internet, in general, any type of media. Important to have a clear goal, to get an idea, and then it all happens quickly and easily. With the exception of one case. This event is when the idea has not yet penetrated into the head of any man on earth. In this case, it must be obtained from the ideal world. About the ideal world it can be viewed as a library of ideas, a place where ideas are placed on the shelves waiting for your reader.
Given the fact that the idea can only communicate with the idea to get an idea of the ideal world, you can also only through interaction with an idea that's already in your head. The idea, which is in your head, interacts with the idea of a perfect world and if it pulls in our material world. After that, drag the idea is already possible to work on the algorithm above and get new ideas. You can get them a lot. As shown in the example above, the idea of "action at a distance" is received at least 4 new ideas with regard to the business of steel elixirs business and helped to create the market phones, televisions, Telegraphs. teleports market is still waiting for its time, because it is still no technology that would create teleporters. It is the spread of these ideas, ie, impregnating elixir business people has led to the fact that these devices have become popular. If it had not been extracted elixirs if they are not "given to drink" of people, they have not turned in to the consumer and have not brought those who created these elixirs many millions of dollars of profit. Only the magic elixir allowed to "roll out" televisions, telephones, telegraphs.
The fact that the ideas derived from the interaction with other ideas, explains the gradual development of humanity. The more ideas penetrated into people's heads, the more new ideas they can create through the organization of their interaction. The more ideas penetrated into people's heads, the more new ideas they can drag from the ideal of peace in our world through the organization of interaction of ideas of the ideal world and the ideas that have already been entered into our world. Although the range of the interaction of ideas is wide, but it is limited. For this reason, not all the ideas of the ideal world can immediately drag, only gradually. From this it can be a very interesting conclusion, which is that it is not he owns the world, who owns the information, but he owns the world, in whom introduced the largest set of the most advanced ideas.
Advanced in this case is regarded as the best new ideas, because only the best new ideas open up access to the ideas of an ideal world. The largest and most advanced set of ideas allows you to drag most advanced ideas of the ideal world in large numbers. Once they are received from the ideal world, you can learn and acquire new properties, which no one else has. Through these features, you can get the absolute competitive edge and get the absolute efficiency of the business.
So, dear marketers, businessmen, and all caring, business secret elixir declared open. Now we have to use it and realize all their desires in life and improve business efficiency.

whats your personal opinion on purity rings.i thinking of getting one and also where can you get them or can you just buy a ring and engrave words into it.?
Most Helpful Girl
I thought about getting one, but I don't really see the point. Regardless of whether or not I wear a ring that says, "True love waits," I'm going to follow my beliefs. But that's just me; I don't think it's bad for people to wear them.
I think you can just get any ring though. I mean, as long as you know what it stands for, does it really matter where it comes from?00|00|0

Whether you are purchasing your very first boat, renovating one you have had for years or simply need a change in terms of decorations, occasionally you will need to replace or create new boat cushions. Shopping in a store means being limited to color and style selections, while making your own allows you to be as creative or as basic as you choose to be. With the right tools and just a little bit of time, you can create custom boat cushions that are both comfortable and appealing to the eye.
Things You'll Need
- Foam rubber
- Naugahyde
- Tape measure
- 1 ½ inch strapping
- Utility knife
- Scissors
- Sewing machine and thread
Measure for and purchase your materials. Allow for a little extra material just in case, and either measure the space for your cushions with a tape measure or use the old cushions as a guide (if applicable) to determine how much material you will need. Purchase foam in sheets which you can then cut down to size on your own. (You can also salvage the old foam if the pre-existing cushions are in good condition, and simply remove/replace the old covers.)
Purchase the Naugahyde material to use as a cover for the foam of the cushions. Take into account that the sides and seams will require additional material, so you should measure each cushion cover several inches long in every direction to make sure you have enough material. Purchase the 1 ½ inch straps which will be used to attach to the underside of the cushions in case of emergency, during which they can be used as flotation devices.
Cut the material. Cut the foam rubber and Naugahyde down to size with the utility knife. Remember to allow extra for the seams and sides with the cover material. Take the scissors to cut the straps between 10 and 12 inches, depending on personal preference, allowing two pieces for each cushion.
Make the cushions. Turn the Naugahyde inside out and use the sewing machine to sew three of the four sides. Attach the straps as you see fit. Place the foam rubber (or old cushion) into the cover material and fold the remaining seam over for a clean, smooth finish. Sew the remaining seam with the sewing machine to complete the cushion.

Portfolio development is becoming more difficult for undergraduate students especially in apparel design programs where curricula does not support design process education nor provide opportunities for the development and refinement of design thinking or critical making strategies. In today's competitive and limited job market, employers are looking for individuals with essential skill sets, who know how to use the design process. This paper reports on a learning experience developed to engage apparel design students in the process of design while using their skills for execution, at an accelerated pace, during the first weeks of the course. The results find that students, when challenged at a high-level, are able to work with and through processes, apply knowledge, synthesize information, and evaluate quality while utilizing their skill sets to produce superior level work. In addition, when skills and processes were lacking, students were better able to recognize this in their own body of work and could articulate these deficiencies. The paper explores the development and implementation of this learning experience, accomplished within twenty days, and its impact on the students and their overall body of work in the class.

Well, this backfired quickly.
If you're going to try to make someone look like an idiot, it's usually a good idea to not make yourself look like a bigger on in the process. During a rally yesterday in Indiana, Obama turned his attention towards Trump.
I'd say he then proceeded to attack Trump, but I think the "attack" will do more good for Trump than harm. Just watch below (found via the Gateway Pundit):
Barack Obama: If we turn against each other based on division of race or religion. If-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if we fall for, you know, a bunch of okie-doke, just because, you know it-it-it. You know, it-it-it-it-it-it sounds funny or the tweets are provocative.
How eloquent. Spoken like a true leader.
Hopefully nobody fixes his teleprompter – I think we would all enjoy more moments like this.

Bully is an enemy of Mario and his friends. If he sees Mario coming near he runs into him either trying to push him of a cliff or just making him take damage. They can be defeated by being pushed off cliffs or platforms as well.
Physical Appearance
Bullies are generally black spherical creatures with 2 green, shoe-esque feet. Bullies also have 2 large horns on the top of their head and bloodshot eyes. In recent games such as Super Mario 3D World, Bullies are now a bluish color and their horns no longer point up, they also have a rim right above the feet.
Mario Golf Wii
Bully makes a cameo in this game.
Mario All-Star Volleyball
Bully a unlockable character in this game.
Lets-a-go, Mario
Bullies appear as enemies again in Lets-a-go, Mario. They act like they did in Super Mario 64, and can push objects around, too. They are impervious to fireballs and stomping(however this will not hurt the player), and are vulnerable to bubbles, lava, and hammers.
Super Mario 64 2: Bowser Strikes Back
The bullies and the Big Bully appear in the KTQ Sandy Mountain and un the Magma Volcano.
Super Mario: Elemental Journey
Bullies reappear as enemies, notably in the course Palace of the Bullies. Two new variants of the Bully also appear, one known as the Furnace Bully that explodes after being pushed around too much and the Underwater Bully, a Bully that pushes players downward under the water.
A Goomba variant wearing a Bully Mask also appears.
Mario Hell of Life
Bullies appear in Mario Hell of Life as an enemy. They are invincible and can only be defeated by yelling rude words into the microphone. They will then feel bad and walk away.

You must be Logged in to post a comment
Hahahaha happened to me :P
eww then you have to retake it. not ok
maybe you were preparing yourself for the worst...?
I hope you use a backup.
(and that's not how you get a deviated septum)
that happens with food when i ralf
you prob tilted your head back too far when you took it and it went in your nasal passage. i know someone that did that with tylenol.
Birth Control = cumming in mouth and not vag? WIN!
Free birth control: anal sex
That's the cocaine honey
shoulda just stuck it up the vag
too much coke will do this too you
black ppl r inferior to ze whiteppl
lets hope it wasnt a nuva ring.
Diaphragm? Sponge? Spermicide?
Leave it up to Johnson County or Wyandotte for that matter to sneeze up a pill....
You're doing it wrong lol
Lmao @ 4:34
I once came in my ex's nostril, so I can relate
What the hell are your snorting it? your nose is for two things: Smelling, blowing out when under water, and snorting coke, not birth control ya dumb shit
6:14... that was just stupid.
don't you just hate when that happens?
were you trying to snort it?
Ummm vaginal supository... Vaginal...not nasal. Lesson learned....
Maybe she threw it up.... and it came out of her nose?
didn't mean for it to sound like i was the OP when i posted at 1:10. lol and 1:33 i'm assuming it wasn't a nuva ring seeing as how those are placed in the vag and arent in pill form. ..
check out the stuff on the "ijustwanttotellyou" site!
As long as it wasn't a condom, I think you're ok.....
why don't you try getting your head out your ASS
If this is the pill and it pulled a milk out the nose sort of idea, the unfortunate part is you're gonna have to take that snot covered shit again.
you're doing it wrong.
how do you mistake your nose for your mouth?
They work much better if you hold them between your knees.
i hate black ppl also
Could've been the cocaine the cocaine!
Stay classy, Johnson County. Or I guess maybe Wyandotte, but I'm going with JoCo on this one.
Well if THAT isn't the weirdest thing I've ever read...
I feel like I know who this happened to....
cocaine...gets me sneazy
thats how you get a deviated septum.
from the blow!
10:06 i got a deviated septum from gettin hit with a baseball bat when i was 9. not from doing blow. blow eats away at the nasal cavity. you're an idiot.
@1:10 the thing about the deviated septum from coke is a joke from a movie. you're a dumb cunt if you took that seriously.
Would you suck a mans dick after he pulled it out your ASS
Last time I put it in her nose...she asked if it was in yet... :(

Political Activism, Trust, and Coordination
We study political activism by several agents (lobbyists, unions, etc.) who have private but imperfect policy-relevant signals, and seek to influence the decisions of a policy maker. When agents can share information and coordinate their actions, the equilibrium is shown to be equivalent to that with a single lobbyist, and even though activism conveys valuable information, it always reduces social welfare. When interest groups act independently, two main scenarios arise. In a 'bandwagon' or low-trust equilibrium, agents have a high propensity to lobby even when it is unwarranted, and conversely the policy maker does not react unless all of them are actively lobbying. In a 'mutual discipline' or high-trust equilibrium, by contrast, each agent's behaviour is more informative, and the policy maker's response threshold correspondingly lower. The key difference is whether the event in which an agent can expect to be pivotal is one where others will be providing supporting evidence by their own activity (thus allowing him to be less truthful), or contrary evidence by their inactivity (thus forcing him to be more credible). We show that when the expected degree of conflict between the lobbyists and the policy maker is relatively high the unique equilibrium is of the 'mutual discipline' type; when ideological distance is relatively low, it is of the 'bandwagon' type; within some intermediate range, both equilibria coexist. We also examine the welfare implications of the different equilibria and study the optimal organization of influence activities, examining when the policy maker and the activists would prefer that the latter coordinate their actions, or act separately.

OUR columnist Emma Clayton's piece in January lamenting the loss of York's old ABC cinema has already prompted one reader, Peter Stanhope, to get in touch with his memories of visiting the cinema as a boy.
Now another reader, James Bettley, has contacted us about some of York's other cinemas.
Born in York, James is a genuine cinephile – in fact, he was once an Odeon cinema manager and spent 11 months as a trainee at the Odeon in Blossom Street before moving away to run cinemas elsewhere in the country.
He is now retired and has returned to York – and our earlier pieces prompted him to take a trip down memory lane...
"I was born in York and from an early age was fascinated by cinemas," James writes. "I have a photographic memory, for the things that interest me, and I can vividly recall the interiors of York's Scala, Tower, St George's, Rialto, Odeon and Regal as well as Acomb's Regent."
First, the ABC. It actually opened as The Regal on September 25, 1937 – the first film to show there was That Girl In Paris, starring Jack Oakie – with a fan-shaped auditorium running parallel to the street.
The ABC in April 1986
The cinema was renamed the ABC (short for Associated British Cinemas) in 1961. It closed briefly in September 1972 so the rear stalls could be converted into a Painted Wagon pub, and reopened – with cinema seats in the former Circle area only – two months later.
The Painted Wagon didn't last long, however, James writes. "It lasted only eight years, before being replaced by two smaller cinemas."
York ABC therefore spent its last few years as a three-screen cinema, before closing for good in June 1986. The building was demolished three years later.
Inside The Painted Wagon
The ABC wasn't James' favourite York cinema, however. He had two favourites, in fact.
One was The Odeon, of course (now back in use as a cinema as The Reel) which, he says, won "hands down for its exterior, exquisite art deco auditorium and an overall design concept which was virtually perfect in every respect for a large cinema."
Art deco style: the Odeon
His other favourite cinema in York was The Tower in New Street.
The Tower lost most of its balcony during the Second World War when an incendiary bomb fell through its roof and York's firefighters were all trying to extinguish another blaze at the railway station, he says. It was closed for two months while repairs were carried out, and continued as a cinema for another 24 years, eventually closing on July 2, 1966 with a showing of Elvis Presley in Frankie & Johnny.
James went there as a nine-year-old boy to see the 1958 smash hit South Pacific – made with CinemaScope and stereophonic sound – and it is a memory that has lived long with him.
The Tower Cinema in New Street, December 1963
"The lights were up and seats were filling fast," he writes. "The Tower's rectangular proscenium arch was formed by three shallow coves of concealed lighting – the outer two lit amber and the one nearest the screen blue.
"The brown curtains had four bold steps appliqued in black satin near the bottom and stepping down towards centre stage, all vividly lit by red footlights.
"The houselights slowly faded, the amber coves around the proscenium gradually darkened and as the curtains began to part, I saw and heard something that almost lifted me out of my seat. The curtains just kept travelling, eventually revealing a breathtakingly wide screen, while I was hearing stereophonic sound for the very first time and even began to wonder if they had an orchestra hidden away somewhere."
There's the magic of the cinema for you...
Other lost York cinemas include:
The Regent, Acomb:
The Regent in March 1959
The Grand Picture House, Clarence Street:
The Grand in February 1958, the year it closed
New skating rink in the former Grand Picture House, in June 1958
The Rialto, Fishergate
The Rialto in 1961, shortly after it had been bought by Mecca (Dancing) Ltd

Hummm, probably a port mapping issue. If you use the private IP does it forward? Can you create a DMZ for your public (read internet accessible via DNS) servers? I have had problems accessing web servers in our LAN using a public DNS name from inside the LAN, we had to create a separate zone to resolve the issue easily. We only allow port 443 and 80 in to this zone. All other ports from DMZ to WAN are blocked. We allow traffic to flow freely from LAN to DMZ and back though. Hope this helps.

*Correction: Port Mapping/NAT issue.

Huh! DMZ is good hint! I hadn't thought about it. I'll try it. Thanks a lot for your reply, Set! But... Anybody must know how to do that LAN to LAN... yep...

After spending six of their first seven draft picks on offensive players, the Washington Redskins closed out the draft by taking a pair of defensive backs in the seventh round Saturday.
The team took SMU cornerback Richard Crawford with the 213th overall pick, and selected Iowa safety Jordan Bernstine with the 217th pick of the draft.
The 5-foot-10, 189-pound Crawford earned first-team All-Conference USA honors after recording 42 tackles, two interceptions and 10 pass breakups as a senior at SMU.
He became the second SMU player drafted by the Redskins this year, and the third in the last two years. The Redskins added guard Josh LeRibeus in the third round of this year's draft, and last season took receiver Aldrick Robinson in the seventh round.
Crawford said he expected the Redskins to take him late in the draft. He had several conversations with representatives of the team and a visit to Redskins Park leading up to the draft.
Bernstine started 11 of 12 games as a senior for Iowa, recording 89 tackles and one sack.
The 5-10, 205-pound Bernstine ranked seventh in the Big Ten in kickoff returns, averaging 23.8 yards per return. Crawford is the second Iowa player taken by the Redskins in this year's draft, after guard Adam Gettis.
Bernstine joins a unit that includes veterans Reed Doughty, DeJon Gomes and offseason signees Brandon Meriweather, Madieu Williams and Tanard Jackson.

The period between 1916-1936 saw military buildup of major European powers and creation of blocs: Entente and Allied Powers that eventually led to the outbreak of the war between those factions (The Great War). Crash of the New York stock market led to worldwide depression and socialist revolution in USA. Japan begun to assert itself as one of the Great Powers, equal to the West.
German colonial policy
Rebellion in German East Africa
In 1916, Sukuma and Nyamwezi rose up against the Germans in German East Africa. Rebels fought in a guerrilla warfare and Germany, pitted against better adapted enemy that had support of the local populace had trouble to defeat. The uprising lasted well into 1917, with isolated guerrilla units fighting until 1920. In 1916, German intelligence reported readiness of Ovambo to rebel in German South-West Africa. Fearing another rebellion and seeing how colonies were not only unprofitable but actually a huge drain of resources and of, already strained by the military buildup, budget, Emperor Wilhelm made the decision to sell the colony to the British dominion, Union of South Africa.
Sale of German colonies
The decision to sell German colonies was very unpopular, especially among conservatives but widely was applauded by the growing Social Democratic Party and some liberal parties. The first colony to be sold was German South-West Africa, sold for 2 billion German Marks, a value considered very high by standards of that time. In the period, subsequent colonies in Africa and Kaiser-Wilhelmsland were sold to United Kingdom and her dominions and France. The biggest disappointment was lack of British interest in buying German East Africa, despite their attempts to form a railway from Egypt to South Africa, as result of the civil war couple of years earlier. Ultimately, it was sold to them for less than one billion Marks.
North America
American economic policy
The peacefulness of the early 20th century led to liberalisation of American economy. This resulted in a rapid growth but also growing disparity between the workers and the owners. On so called Black Monday, 23 March 1925, panic on the stock market caused an unprecedented loss of value of DOW Jones. After sew months, the economy showed signs of limited rebound but crashed even more in 1926 and continued to spiral downwards with unemployment reaching 29% in 1927. The state attempted to spur more investment via tax breaks but bankers and investors refused to invest their money and the American budget collapsed, being forced to go heavily in debt and massively cut spending.
Strikes and Second American Revolution
While workers strikes were happening during the entire duration of the crisis, the biggest strike was Chicago General Strike of 1927. The strikers and the police begun fighting in the streets and the American government sent army to pacify the strikers, but the soldiers mutinied and joined the strikers. The socialist propaganda called the strikes "Second American Revolution" and the name stuck. The trade unions and parties overseeing the strikes merged into one - Socialist Party of America and seized control of Chicago on 31 March 1927.
Civil war in USA
Having significant workers support, SPA quickly took over Great Lakes region, New England and captured New York and Washington. Nationalist organisation in the Deep South attempted a rebellion but were crushed and purges by the socialists. American counteroffensive in 1928 failed after taking Chicago in a bloody battle and country plunged into chaos, with California, Washington, Oregon and Idaho declaring independence and joining together to form United Pacific States and the rebel Pacific Army.
British intervention
United Kingdom grew increasingly worried by the revolution in USA and rapidly increased its army in Canada. Spread of the socialist ideology was the biggest and official reason for the invasion but the British had also hoped to capitalise on the chaos in its largest rival. In a secret German-British diplomatic note, Germany approved of British invasion of USA in exchange for British approval to German-Austrian war. Both the Germans and the British were also concerned about the growth of USA, which was now the strongest economically country in the world and could boast world's largest fleet and impressive army.
In September 1928, British troops in Canada crossed the border in New England and using the surprise element defeated the defenders. All parties in the civil war called for a truce to defeat the invader. In this way, the British intervention actually simplified the reunification process. The Pacific States, in a close vote in the parliament decided to side with the invading British troops, in exchange for recognition and promise of independence.
After the initial surprise has ended, Americans started to defend fiercely, much to British surprise and stopped the Commonwealth advance in New York in a huge battle. Simultaneously, the British Army captured Alaska and Hawaii. The Philippines declared independence, only to be attacked by the Japanese two years later. The British high command changed British battle plans and attacked from the seas (since large part of the navy had defected to the United Pacific States) and they captured Florida, New Orleans and other ports, effectively destroying remains of American fleet. The now distracted American army was unable to defend New York successfully again.
But as 1930 came and the casualties were mounting, the British were showing signs of fatigue, both in America and on the home front. Commonwealth troops lost New York and were threatened in Florida. UK and USA agreed for an armistice in March 1930 and peace was signed, giving independence to United Pacific States and transferring Alaska and northern Maine (border from before Webster Ashburton Treaty) to Canada and Hawaii becoming a British protectorate.
End of the civil war
As the north USA, seat of the socialists, had seen most of the fighting, the odds of the federal government winning the war were now vastly increased. To avoid further bloodshed, both sides agreed to peacefully end the conflict, with the government returning to power, but realising many of the points demanded by the SPA. The crisis soon ended but the USA never fully recovered from the damage it had suffered, with the immigration ceasing nearly entirely and the country never returning to its former great power position.
The lead-up to the Great War
Austrian-German War
In 1921, the negotiations between Germany and Austria-Hungary had broken down, as Emperor Wilhelm had no interest in renewing their alliance, since there had been a real possibility to ally with United Kingdom, which he prefered for both personal and geopolitical reasons. He was also convinced by the German nationalists that Austria-Hungary was an artificial being as opposed to the German nation-state and had no right to exist. To make up for the lost ally, Germany signed an alliance with Italy 1922. The relations between Germany and Austria-Hungary continued to sour and in 1929, Germany provoked a war. Austro-Hungarian troops were obliterated by the superior German Army. The German high command held troops on the border with France in case of French aggression, which never came, as result of turmoil surrounding the elections there.
Partition of the Austro-Hungarian Empire
The Germans had agreed to give up Julian March, Istria and Dalmatia to its Italian ally. The territory inhabited by the German-Austrians was annexed directly into Germany, in a move supported by majority of Austrians This large increase of territory was condemned by the French and Russians and they signed a defensive pact together to protect against Germany. The remaining territory was to be split between puppet nation-states, ruled by German aristocrats. A Polish rebellion in West Galicia and independence demonstrations in other countries. Ultimately, in 1930 the Germans had given up on enforcing their rule over newly formed countries and let the citizens choose their leaders. Most of the countries became republics, bound only by an alliance and a cooperation treaty with Germany.

Egypt eased travel restrictions for residents of Gaza on Saturday, eroding a blockade of the Palestinian territory imposed by Israel to isolate its Islamist Hamas rulers.
Egypt, which made peace with Israel in 1979 but whose interim military rulers want to improve relations with Palestinians, allowed nearly 300 Gazans to enter its territory at the Rafah crossing in the first hour after it opened.
Under new regulations Egypt announced on Wednesday, the Rafah crossing, Hamas-controlled Gaza's only window to the outside world, will operate six days a week instead of five and working hours will be extended by two hours a day.
"I believe this a unique move and positive development," said Ghazi Hamad, Islamist Hamas's deputy foreign minister.
Israel maintains a tight blockade of the Gaza Strip because Hamas refuses to recognize the Jewish state and calls for its destruction. Israeli officials have declined to comment on the opening of Gaza's only free exit point to the world.
Israel allows some goods to be imported into the Gaza Strip through land border crossings and lets out a small number Gazans, mainly for medical treatment.
Under Egypt's new travel guidelines, women, minors and men over 40 no longer require a visa to enter the country, meaning hundreds more passengers will be able to cross every day.
Previously, the terminal could cope with no more than 300 outgoing passengers per day and Hamad said that with streamlined coordination he expected the daily numbers to triple.
"We will cooperate with Egyptian brothers to make sure the new arrangements get implemented smoothly and accurately ... We even hope that 1,000 people will be able to cross every day," Hamaad, who oversees work at the crossing, told Reuters.
Palestinians have hailed the Egyptian move as a manifestation of a new era in relations after the February removal in a pro-democracy uprising of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, who helped preserve the blockade and sided with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Hamas's rival.
The blockade has compounded severe poverty in Gaza, a tiny densely populated coastal territory of 1.5 million people.
Israel has said it hopes Cairo will not heed Hamas demands to allow commercial goods through the crossing, saying it fears arms will then be smuggled into the territory and strengthen militants who have used underground tunnels to import weapons.
The Rafah crossing had operated sporadically since 2007 after Egypt closed it following Hamas's takeover of Gaza when it ousted forces loyal Abbas's Fatah faction. Hamas had won parliamentary elections in 2006 and seized Gaza a year later.
Last year, Mubarak's Egypt opened the crossing on a regular basis five days a week and allowed mainly students, those needing medical treatment, holders of visas to a third country and dual nationals out of Gaza.

Do You Have a Network?: Chat with Sara Horowitz of Freelancers Union
Posted by Ilise Benun on
The 600 attendees of the Creative Freelancer Conference weren't alone—and neither are you.
In this short video with Sara Horowitz, Executive Director and Founder of the Freelancers Union, we talk about the present and future states of freelancing. Guess what? It's growing. Research shows that a third of the workforce (42 million people) are already working project to project, gig to gig –– and that is projected to grow to half the workforce by 2050 or sooner!
I asked Sara what kind of mindset is going to be necessary if the growing number of independents are to succeed. Here's what she said:
"The person who thinks they are on their own is the first person who will be extinct. It is biodiversity. It is networks. It is interconnection. That's how you will get your work. That's how you will put out your SOSes. That's how you will help your friends. That is how people in the long term will do well."
Watch/listen to the rest to find out more about these essential networks and the mindset you'll need to make the most of them. Then ask yourself: do you have a network?
Those who attended CFC this year began (or continued) developing their essential network. If you didn't make it, don't worry. There are lots of ways to do this. Here are just a few:
- Creative Freelancer Conference LinkedIn Group
- Join the Freelancers Union: http://www.freelancersunion.org/
- Sign up for CFC 2014 (Boston, May 12-16)! Get the lowest rate available if you register before July 25th.

Russia envoy says Assad 'committed' to ending bloodshed
Russia's foreign minister said after Damascus talks on Tuesday that President Bashar al-Assad was "fully committed" to ending the bloodshed in Syria even as regime tanks pounded the central city of Homs for a fourth straight day.
Sergei Lavrov said he had had a "very useful" meeting with Assad and that Moscow was eager to work towards a solution based on an Arab League plan that it had previously criticised.
"We (Russia) confirmed our readiness to act for a rapid solution to the crisis based on the plan put forward by the Arab League," said Lavrov, adding that Syria was also ready see an enlarged Arab League mission in the country, Russian news agencies said.
The pan-Arab bloc deployed an observer mission to Syria in December to oversee a plan to end bloodshed that has now lasted almost 11 months but suspended it late January after the mission's chief said that the violence had reached a new pitch of intensity.
The 22-nation League has since put forward a plan for Assad to hand his powers to Vice President Faruq al-Shara and a national unity government to oversee the preparation of democratic elections.
Lavrov said Syria was also pressing ahead with the slow-moving reform programme promised by Assad in a series of speeches last year and would soon announce the timetable for a referendum on a new constitution to replace the current one which enshrines the leading role of his Baath party.
At the opening of the talks, Lavrov said he was confident that the Syrian leader knew what he had to do.
"Every leader in every country should be aware of his share of responsibility. You are aware of yours," the Russian minister said.
Syrian state news agency SANA said Lavrov arrived to a "huge popular reception in appreciation of Russia's support to Syria, people and its reform programme."
State television aired footage of regime supporters waving Syrian and Russian flags as they lined the streets.
Many chanted: "Thank you Russia, thank you China," in reference to the two governments' use of their Security Council vetoes last week to block UN action against the Syrian regime.
The precise purpose of the Russian diplomatic mission has been kept tightly under wraps since it was first announced at the weekend.
Ahead of their arrival, reports had said Lavrov might try to persuade Assad to quit.
But the regime, which has been rocked by an uprising for almost 11 months, put on a show of defiance.
Tanks and artillery pounded the flashpoint central city of Homs for a fourth straight day, killing at least 15 civilians, according to activists, as the interior ministry vowed no let-up in the onslaught against "terrorist groups".
"Operations to hunt down terrorist groups will continue until security and order are re-established in all neighbourhoods of Homs and its environs," pledged an interior ministry statement carried by SANA.
Abu Rami, an activist in the city reached by AFP by telephone from Beirut, said shelling and rocket fire had continued through the night and into the day.
"There are about four blasts every five minutes," he said. "Since this morning the shelling has been concentrated in the neighbourhoods of Baba Amr, Inshaat and Jubar.
"The humanitarian situation is dire. No one can move around. There are snipers everywhere."
At least nine civilians and four soldiers were killed as the army attempted to storm the Khaldiyeh neighbourhood of the city, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. One of the slain civilians was a woman.
Another six civilians were killed in Baba Amr, the Britain-based watchdog added.
Shooting thought to be from outgunned rebels echoed across Babr Amr through the morning in response to artillery barrage from besieging troops.
The opposition Syrian National Council joined the Free Syrian Army in issuing an appeal to businessmen across the Arab world to give money to the rebel force to help rectify the imbalance in firepower.
The latest clashes came after nearly 100 civilians were killed across Syria on Monday, the majority in Homs.
Human rights groups say more than 6,000 people have been killed since the outbreak of the revolt mid-March. The UN Children's Fund, UNICEF, said at least 400 children have been killed.
Moscow sparked Western fury last week by joining Beijing in using its veto at the Security Council to block UN action against the Damascus regime.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called it a "travesty."
Beijing expressed hope Lavrov's visit would succeed, and said it was considering sending its own envoys to help resolve the conflict.
Syria's main Middle East ally, Iran was also to dispatch a deputy foreign minister, Hossein Amir Abdollahian, to Damascus on Tuesday, its official IRNA news agency said.
Turkey, which shared Western anger over the Russian and Chinese vetoes, said it would launch a "new initiative" with like-minded countries which "stand by the Syrian people, not the regime."
A day after the United States closed its Damascus embassy, France, Italy amd Spain joined Britain and Belgium in recalling their ambassadors to Syria for consultations.
But the European Union stressed it had no plans to close its own mission in the Syrian capital.

Putting The 'Park' Back In Parking
"From Miami to Munich, hundreds of urban planners and environmental activists plan today to set up tiny "parks" in metered parking spaces -- installing everything from lawn chairs and palm trees to beauty salons and self-service lemonade stands."
"It's an effort to raise awareness about the lack of open public space in urban areas, and to draw attention to the gas wasted and pollution created by drivers circling the block for low-cost curbside parking spaces. Park(ing) Day organizers are bracing for angry merchants, frustrated drivers -- and in some cities, parking tickets."
"Last year, word spread, and 47 'parks' popped up in 13 cities world-wide, including London, Rio de Janeiro and Melbourne, Australia, as well as 34 in the San Francisco Bay Area. This year Park(ing) Day will test drivers' patience for the first time in cities including Boston, Washington and car-crazy Los Angeles, where valets charge heavily and spots are scarce."
"Donald Shoup, a professor of urban planning who spoke at a panel discussion about Park(ing) Day earlier this week, says too many drivers are shunning higher-priced garages and burning excess fuel while circling around to find a less costly parking spot. Mr. Shoup and his students at University of California at Los Angeles determined that the average cruising time for a space in L.A.'s Westwood Village is 3.3 minutes, or half a mile. By that measure, Mr. Shoup estimates that cars in the 15-block district annually travel 950,000 miles, burn 47,000 gallons of fuel and emit 730 tons of carbon dioxide just looking for a parking spot."

Midna here. Had quite a day yesterday. Made home-made ice cream sandwitches for my besties. They were...so good. I didn't watch a single race though. HORSE KILLERS! I hate them. But the real reason yesterday was so awesome, I broke my comment RECORD! 10 comments? Thats so cool! If I had known I would get that many, I would have sat down before I checked my blog. Hope everybody had fun yesterday.
But, the real reason for this post, is beacuse I have a virus on my computer. I called a friend over to check it out, and she said that she couldn't fix it, cuz' it was already on my computer. She said I could still use my computer, but the virus will get worse and eventually, I won't be able to use it. This sucks, cuz' I have EVERYTHING on this computer, I don't have the money to fix, and I won't be able to blog! I hope I can get my friend Tiffy to let me borrow her lap-top. I'll try to keep bloging for as long as I can, but It seems we have come to a fork in the rode. If this computer goes out, I will be left with nothing but a 14 year old Compaq. Heck, I'm trying my luck with that one! There was a storm last night and the power fickerd. I might try to turn it on today and... . I can't live without my computer, but if I have to, I'll try to blog from my Dsi. This will be horrible. Bottom line, if I just stop blogging, you'll know what happend. But mark my words, I will be back! Hopefully, I won't miss a post. Midna out.

Green Lentils With Garlic & Onion (Madhur Jaffrey)
Recipe by blucoat
This is a super-easy, flavourful, and delicious recipe that can be served warm, cold, or room temperature. It's from Madhur Jaffrey's "Indian Cooking". Recipe can be doubled or tripled. I like using French green lentils. You can also use chicken or vegetable broth instead of the water.
Top Review by Rainingoutside
Add ginger while cooking garlic and onion. Add vermouth 1/2 way through simmering. Extra rich. More options. Good base recipe with lots of room to experiment. Recommend.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 59.16 ml vegetable oil or 59.16 ml ghee
- 2.46 ml whole cumin seed
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 236.59 ml whole green lentil, washed and drained
- 709.77 ml water
- 4.92 ml salt
- 1.23 ml cayenne
Directions See How It's Made
- Heat oil in a heavy pot over a medium flame. When hot, put in the cumin seeds. A few seconds later, put in the garlic. Stir and fry until the garlic pieces turn a medium brown colour. Now put in the onion. Stir and fry until the onion pieces begin to turn brown at the edges. Put in the lentils and the water. Bring to the boil. Cover, turn heat to low and simmer for about an hour or until lentils are tender. (Nearly all of the liquid should have been absorbed, but watch that it doesn't turn completely solid.)
- Add the salt and the cayenne. Stir to mix and simmer gently for another 5 minutes.

Using the three-dimensional (3D) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, we have investigated in detail the optical properties of a two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal (PC) surface-emitting laser having a square-lattice structure. In this study we perform the 3D-FDTD calculation for the structure of an actual fabricated device. The device is based on band-edge resonance, and four band edges are present at the corresponding band edge point. For these band edges, we calculate the quality (Q) factor. The results show that the Q factor of a resonant mode labeled A1 is larger than that of other resonant modes; that is, lasing occurs easily in mode A1. The device can thus achieve single-mode lasing oscillation. To increase the Q factor, we also consider the optimization of device parameters. The results provide important guidelines for device fabrication.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/11/2013 (1370 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Some employees at the Misericordia Health Centre are working a little harder these days.
Exploring ways to promote healthier work conditions and get people out of their office chairs, a researcher in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management at the University of Manitoba is studying the effects of physical activity in the office.
"Over the last decades, a shift towards the service industry has meant that jobs requiring physical activity in the workplace have reduced from 50 per cent to 20 per cent," researcher Danielle Bouchard said in a statement.
"Today, it's been proven that it is important to reduce sitting time at work, even if you exercise regularly."
With this in mind, the Misericordia Health Centre has purchased four treadmills to replace some of the desk chairs in its Provincial Health Contact Centre so that the staff -- 22 workers in all -- can take turns walking while working. Employees will each take a 2- to 4-hour shift on the treadmills, while researchers monitor usage, sleep patterns, job satisfaction and productivity, along with vitals such as blood pressure and heart rate.
"I expect that sharing treadmill workstations will help reduce sedentary behaviour in the workplace, increase employees' health and job satisfaction and maintain or increase productivity," Bouchard added.

All That Remains – Top 15 New Wave of American Heavy Metal Albums
Mon, 29 Jun 2015 17:40:23
All That Remains Photos
All That Remains Videos
These are the albums that defined the aughts.
The '00s were quite a fertile period for heavy music. So much so that the press and fans anointed the era "The New Wave of American Heavy Metal" or "The New Wave of American Metal." Same difference. MTV resurrected Headbanger's Ball, with Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed installed as the host. Late night TV shows, like Jimmy Kimmel Live!, were booking the bands of the era to perform with increasing frequency throughout the decade. Yes, those firebreathing noise merchants in The Dillinger Escape Plan played Conan and things were never, ever the same.
If you require more proof that the public and media hungered for metal equally, well, think about how Ozzfest ballooned, inviting heavier bands to play both the main and the side stages. The annual heavy metal summer camp was eventually immobilized and replaced by The Rock Star Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, which also grew exponentially and played sheds.
Most impressive were the sales numbers of these bands. Albums repeatedly went platinum and gold, with the likes of Slipknot, Killswitch Engage, Lamb of God and Atreyu notching RIAA certifications and awards for achieving monster sales. More notable was the fact that you could turn on the radio and hear these same bands on the dial and not always after midnight on specialty shows.
Do we even need to mention the Grammy nominations? It made us realize that people with their ears to the underground and in possession of a keen knowledge of the aggressive music scene were influencing the balloting, since extreme bands were notching noms. It wasn't as though this was further atonement for the Jethro Tull gaffe that still haunts the metal category today; it was an institution recognizing and supporting a movement!
Hands down—the '00s were a legit and rich era for heavy metal. These are the albums that defined the period.
11. All That Remains - This Darkened Heart
All That Remains have gone on to achieve a decent amount of radio success in recent years, but fans always come back to 2004's This Darkened Heart. The album is what turned began to turn the tide for ATR.
What makes ATR's backstory so interesting is the fact that frontman Phil Labonte was the original singer of Shadows Fall and the scene chatter always went a little something like this: "OMG, Phil must regret bouncing from Shadows Fall, since they got so huge."
Not. So. Fast. ATR went on to enjoy their own supremely healthy success, especially at radio, so it's doubtful the frontman looks back in anger or with regret about his decision. He carved out his own chapter in the NWOAM with All That Remains and it truly began with This Darkened Heart.
There was plenty of Euro metal riffing and melodics, along with Labonte's alternating bark and croon.
The title track and "Focus Shall Not Fail" won't fail you or them! The songs still sound fresh and deadly today as they did a decade and a year again. They don't make 'em like they used to.
Watch the video for "The Deepest Gray" from All That Remains:
—Amy Sciarretto
'This Darkened Heart' by All That Remains is available on Razor & Tie.

text: Scaramucci is a buyer of Hewlett-Packard ( HPQ), even with the stock up 79% since January. He said he's been a long-time holder of the stock and the company has made too many acquisitions, but CEO Meg Whitman makes the difference. Kicking off the show's "Top Trades" was Yahoo! ( YHOO), the worst performer in the S&P 500 Monday on news the company would be buying back 40 million shares of hedge fund manager Dan Loeb's stake of 60 million shares. He will also be resigning from the board. Nathan said there's a lot more risk in this name over the near term and that the Alibaba IPO would only slightly help. Investors will have to rely on Yahoo!'s core business after the autumn IPO. But Yahoo!'s second-quarter results were not very promising. He said he would be interested in buying near $26. McDonald's ( MCD) reported earnings Monday and missed on the bottom line. Adami said that U.S. comps were some of the worst he's seen in recent years. He added that the stock has been making lower highs since May and you could look to buy it in the low $90s. U.S. existing home sales fell 1.2% for the month of June and was the cause of some selling pressure in homebuilders such as PulteGroup ( PHM), Lennar ( LEN) and D.R. Horton ( DHI). Najarian said these companies have been remarkably strong and the pullbacks are buying opportunities. Turning the focus to Apple ( AAPL) ahead of its third-quarter results late Tuesday, Najarian likes the stock. He said that from a valuation perspective the company is cheap due to having so much cash on hand and the $60 billion stock buyback program has put an artificial floor in the price. He added that a deal with China Mobile ( CHL) would get the stock to $500 in a hurry. Nathan was more wary. He said the recent headlines regarding larger screens might delay the product launches Apple typically schedules for the fall. He also noted that a deal with China Mobile would mean lower prices and thus lower gross margins. However, he did say Apple would be a great buy should it sell off after the report.

I've often wondered who would be the most powerful champion outside of the game. I'll add the champions that I feel would be the most powerful ones and I'd love to hear what others think :)
The first champion that comes up in my mind is Xerath, seeing as he's a being of pure magic. If he'd get rid of his prison there would be practically nothing that would be able to stop him.
Second champion that comes up is Syndra. Just from reading her lore you can tell that she's a woman with incredibly powerful magic. Being able to raise a whole temple into the air with little to no effort. Not sure how powerful her orb magic would be though..
Lissandra also comes up in my mind. She's been around for centuries. She's able to take the forms of others and her ice magic can freeze someone for all eternity. I think she would be the only one who could stop or at least contain Xerath if he should escape from his mobile prison.
Then we have Brand, there are few things as destructive and powerful as fire. If left unchecked he could easily destroy Runeterra singlehandedly.
And last but not least, Veigar. Being able to call down dark matter from space with no effort would easily make him one of the most powerful beings in existance.
This is my first blog on this site..and I'm not the best at writing so forgive me for that. But I just wanted to hear others' opinion about this matter as it's something I've wondered about for a long long time.
Now, let me hear your opinions :)
