Graduate House is a residential college and an academic and professional meeting centre in Melbourne (Victoria, Australia) as well as a membership association for graduates of all universities across the world.
Affiliated with The University of Melbourne as its eleventh college, the Graduate Union of the University of Melbourne Incorporated is located on the corner of Grattan Street and Leicester Street, Carlton, just south of the university's main Parkville campus and in the vicinity of University Square.
The unique feature of the Graduate Union is a focus on graduates. The residential facility, for example, has no undergraduates. Rather, the 120 residents are postgraduate students (e.g. masters and doctoral) from around the world, post-graduate fellows and scholars visiting Melbourne on sabbatical, or part of an education, research or professional development partnership with a university in Victoria.
The Graduate Union celebrated its centenary in 2011, having originated on 4 May 1911 when a group of graduates met for the purpose of founding an association. Less than two months later, the Melbourne University Graduates Association was formed with Sir John Monash as its first president for the three years before his commencing of war service in 1914.
Following strong support from Sir Robert Menzies and a large bequest from Sir Sydney Myer, the Graduate Union purchased and renovated old terrace houses – including Gladstone Terrace – in the late 1950s and the 1960s. With a further bequest from Stella Langford in the late 1960s, three neighbouring terrace houses on Leicester Street were added to the total complex.
In 2011, the Graduate Union comprises three linked buildings. The newest is the Stella Langford wing fronted by three terrace facades and holding three new conference and event rooms and luxury apartments. The middle section (main building) holds offices, conference rooms and a restaurant and bar on the ground floor, together with three floors of rooms with separate bathrooms and a multi-storey car park. The oldest section of the Graduate Union retains the comfort and elegance of its long history. It contains resident facilities (kitchen, dining room, lounge) together with a library and rooms with shared bathrooms.

Herzog Zwei
a game by Technosoft
Platform: Genesis
- Manufacturer: SEGA
Machine: Sega Genesis
Sound/Music 6
- Graphics 8
- Playability 7
- Overall 7
Herzog Zwei is a third-party entry into the Genesis realm, having been developed by TechnoSoft. Some consider the first crop of Genesis games, all of which were produced by Sega itself, as a mediocre demonstration of the system's potential - not only as far as sound and graphics, but also in complexity. The Genesis' innards make it capable of more than running and jumping games. Thus hopes have been high that third-party developers would exhibit greater efforts to bring Genesis games up to speed.
Herzog Zwei ("Duke Two") is such an effort a unique arcade game played at breakneck speed, yet with all the strategic elements of a sophisticated war game. Striking out into territory that obviously could not be adequately charted with lesser equipment, it lets two players manage multitudes of troops, vehicles and weapons while displaying complex, fast-moving graphics in split-screen format. Though tough to learn, a clearly written 25-page manual is provided, and the computer is a good teacher.
In the simple plot, you're High Commander Ludwig, leader of the forces in rebellion against the evil oppressor Herzog Eins...Supreme Commander One. For each of the eight battles that comprise the war, your forces and your enemy's are balanced in resources. How quickly you decide which weapons or vehicles or men to buy and deploy and how deftly you implement your strategy with the joystick, determines whether you perish or prevail.
You can play against another human, against the computer or you can have the computer play against itself. There's no provision, unfortunately, for the TeleGenesis modem, so you can't play with armchair despots around the world. You also have the option of using a password system to keep track of which scenarios you've played. Win all eight battles against the computer, at each of the four different skill levels (32 battles total), and you win the war - and can expect to be properly rewarded. That's a Herculean task, though. Even at the lowest setting, the computer is a cruel and quick opponent.
The battles take place over varying terrain that scrolls beneath you as in Thunder Force II. The terrain is beautifully done, with bubbling lava, rippling water and other dynamic details, but without the 3-D multilevel effect of other Genesis games. The screen is split (with the option of a single, widescreen view when playing against the computer) and each side works independently. You control the movements of your "fighting force", which is either an attack jet, an infantry or an air transport - depending on the situation. At times, you'll directly attack the opposition's forces, but your primary task is to create and deploy as many armored cars, tanks, boats, trucks, cannons and infantry soldiers as you can. Each such item requires an appropriate command from a list of eight. A command screen pops up at the touch of a button, with current information and a radar window.
You have to watch your money and your fighting force's energy level. Energy can be replaced at base camps, and your overall objective is to capture all the neutral or enemy base camps while defending your own. Then you destroy the enemy's main base camp, and that's how you win a battle.
This game, with its frantic flicker-free graphics and dizzying strategic angles, is more than a match for any computer war game. But I believe Herzog Zwei is the first of its kind, and for those who enjoy wild shoot-'em-ups and war simulations, it's a superb and definitive crossbreed.

In the distant future, our planet is held under oppressive rule by a single man: Herzog Eins. Not all of Herzog Eins' followers agree in the dictatorship, however. One of his most respected generals, Ludwig, has decided to use his military skills to restore Earth to a time of peace; a time when people ruled fairly and justly. So Ludwig secretly gathered a force to stop Herzog Eins and is now prepared to revolt, knowing the consequence for such actions is almost certainly death. Yet the promise of freedom is worth such a risk, and he vows to fight until the Earth is saved.
Herzog Zwei is a futuristic real-time strategy game, the first of its kind on the Genesis. Your goal is to defend your base from enemy attacks while mounting an assault of your own. A top-down view of the battlefield will show your hovering attack jet used to transport troops, spy on the opposition, or morph into a robot to fight on the ground! Units you'll be able to build include tanks, robotic infantry, armored motorcycles, missile launchers, boats and supply trucks. Since you directly control the attack jet, you'll be able to transport your created armies to key sectors along the battlefield. Each unit costs money, however, so you have to spend wisely.
Herzog Zwei takes place on eight planets, each offering different terrain such as snow, desert, water and lava: Abgrund, Vulkan, Loch, Strand, Stadt, Eisfrei, Waldung and Oase. To win the game, you must defeat the computer on each planet through four levels of difficulty. Once you've completed the one-player game, the war doesn't have to be over: two players can battle it out simultaneously on a vertically split-screen! A password system lets players resume their campaign against Herzog Eins after turning off the console.

Thuja Green Giants are tall, fast growing evergreen trees. They are perfect for planting on the edge of your property for privacy purposes or even just for blocking wind. These trees can get as tall as 40 feet, but they typically stay within the 20- to 30-foot range. With the proper care, you can ensure that your Thuja Green Giants reach their full potential.
Things You'll Need
- 10-10-10 slow-release fertilizer
Fertilize at the beginning of the first spring season after planting the tree. Adding fertilizer right away may stunt the growth of a Thuja Green Giant.
Use a 10-10-10 fertilizer every two weeks starting after the last frost of the season and until the first week of summer. Use of a stronger fertilizer during the first year of the tree's life could kill the roots.
Decrease the amount of fertilizer to once per month during the summer. Continue fertilizing the tree until the ground begins to frost over.
Stop fertilizing your Thuja Green Giant during the winter.
Fertilize the tree in the same time increments for as long as you have the tree. You can begin using a stronger fertilizer on the second year.
Tips & Warnings
- Keep the soil moist at all times to ensure maximum tree growth.
- Read the fertilizer package for directions on how to apply the fertilizer. All brands of fertilizer have slightly different directions.

QUITO, July 16 (Reuters) - Ecuador's economy contracted by 3 percent in the first quarter of 2016 compared with the same period a year earlier, the central bank said late on Friday.
This was driven by a contraction of the non-oil sector, the bank said, without providing details. GDP shrank 1.9 percent in comparison with the fourth quarter of 2015, it said.
"The annual change in GDP was -3.0 percent for the first quarter of 2016," the bank said in a statement posted on its website, adding that the economy is at an "inflexion point" that will allow for recovery in the coming months.
The results, however, do not reflect the impact of a devastating April earthquake that left at least 670 people dead and is expected to require $3.3 billion in reconstruction funds.
The bank has said it will need to revise its full-year projections for 2016 economic growth as a result of the tremor, but has not yet provided an updated figure.
Ecuador, the smallest member of OPEC, has suffered from low oil prices and an appreciation of the dollar, which it adopted as its national currency in 2000. A stronger greenback has made Ecuador's industries less competitive and forced the government to cut spending.
The government of President Rafael Correa has maintained oil industry investment in order to keep crude production at 540,000 barrels per day (bpd). The 2015 restart of the Esmeraldas refinery, following a prolonged upgrade to modernize the facility, also provided positive support for the economy, the bank said.

Mohammad Kuli Khan of the Khattak tribe was a political agent in the Northwest Frontier Province he helped manage the relations of the British with tribesmen. Iskander Mirza who later became President of Pakistan was joint secretary in the defence ministry in Delhi. Early in 1946, Mirza called Kuli Khan over to Delhi, gave him a large sum of money, and told him to organize an invasion of Kashmir by frontier tribesmen on the night Pakistan was created. It was. But two tribal leaders, on reaching Muzaffarabad, had a row about who would be the Amir of Kashmir. There were also enticing homes of Pandits to loot and women to rape on the way. So valuable time was lost. Still, the tribesmen got up to Srinagar airport when they were told to draw back. They never understood why; they thought they had nearly taken Kashmir when they were ordered to leave everything and go home. There was a rumour that Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel had sent a message to Jinnah through Mian Iftikharuddin that he could have Kashmir if he would leave Hyderabad to India. Jinnah apparently replied that Kashmir was theirs and Hyderabad a legal issue. He lost both.
Kuli Khan sent his son, Mohammad Aslam Khan, to Oxford in 1928. There he made friends with S.S. Dhawan of Dera, Ismail Khan and the Sheikhzada of Mangrol in Kathiawar, amongst others. With his Pathan friends he formed a Khyber Union; he published a pamphlet in which he invented Pakistan, name and all, and made a case for dividing India. Mohammed Ali Jinnah, whom he went to meet in London, was indignant; at that time Jinnah believed in indivisible India.
Aslam Khan failed the civil service examination; on returning home, he joined the political service like his father. Those were early years of radio. The NWFP was given a Marconi transmitter, and Aslam was put in charge. When World War II started, he was given a job in All India Radio, Delhi, to broadcast propaganda in Arabic, Turkish, Persian and Pushtu. He took a big house near the ridge (probably on Rajpur road), which soon became a haven for Pathans when they were visiting Delhi. Amongst them were Congressmen like Dr Khan Sahib, which sullied Aslams image in British eyes. So he went back to Peshawar and did odd jobs in the NWFP government.
Once Pakistan came into being and Jinnah made himself its Governor General, he dismissed the Congress ministry headed by Dr Khan Sahib and replaced him by Abdul Qayyum Khan. He made Aslams life difficult, so Aslam got himself transferred to the central government in Karachi (Islamabad was still to be built then).
In 1953, a friend of Aslams was appointed ambassador to Afghanistan, and took Aslam with him. The Afghans were extremely suspicious of Pakistan; they knew that the A in Pakistan stood for Afghanistan. Aslam Khan explained to them that Pathans and Afghans were the same thing; that he had himself coined the term Pakistan, and that A stood for Pathans. The Afghans also thought that Punjabis were Ahmediyas and oppressed the Sunni Pathans. They were incensed when, in 1955, Pakistan decided to merge all provinces of the west into one as a counterbalance to East Pakistan; they thought it was a plot of Punjabis to subjugate the rest of the provinces.
Aslam Khan decided that the best way to lay these suspicions to rest was a merger of Pakistan and Afghanistan. He convinced Huseyn Shahid Suhrawardy, who was then Prime Minister of Pakistan, and began to work on Afghan leaders. He arranged a visit to Pakistan by King Zahir Shah, who was delighted to converse in French with Suhrawardy. When Sardar Daud, the Afghan Prime Minister, congratulated Suhrawardy on his French, Suhrawardy replied, Your Royal Highness, once upon a time when I was a young man I was in Paris. Believe me that the urgency to learn French was constantly great. Suhrawardy was a famous womanizer.
The Americans were consulted about the proposed union, and strongly supported it. They promised to enlarge the Karachi harbour and build another port for Pakistan, to supply 50 railway engines and 500 wagons, and to extend the Chaman railway to Kandahar and the Torkham railway to Jalalabad. Those plans are now being realized in Gwadar port.
Finally all pieces were in place, and Daud was invited to Pakistan to finalize the merger. Aslam Khan took him to the Karachi naval base to see a military exercise. There, a shot rang out. It ricocheted off the hull of a ship and hit Aslam Khan in the hip. Daud was convinced that the bullet was meant for him. Soon thereafter, Iskander Mirza turfed out Feroze Khan Noon as Prime Minister, and was himself then turfed out by General Ayub Khan. Ayub sent his own son-in-law to replace Aslam Khan in Kabul, thus ending Aslams dream of Greater Pakistan. Ten years later, Zia manufactured the Taliban in his new Madrassahs, got the Americans to arm them, and used them to take over Afghanistan. Another decade later, the Americans bombed out the Taliban and took over Afghanistan while Musharraf watched.
Aslam went home and got a Coca Cola franchise. When Bhutto became President of Pakistan, he made Aslam governor of the NWFP. But then Bhutto began to suspect that Aslam wanted to remove him and usurp power, so he sacked him, accused him of bottling cockroaches in his Coca Cola and closed down his factory. But two years later in 1974, Bhutto had a change of heart and sent Aslam to Iran as ambassador. There Aslam put it to the Shah that Iran and Pakistan should federate. The Shah was not too forthcoming. He told Aslam that no country in South Asia not even Iran could match Indias military power and that Pakistan should settle the Kashmir problem by accepting the line of control as frontier. Aslam got quite close to the Shah, as he had earlier to Daud in Afghanistan and General Qassim, the dictator of Iraq. The Shahs fondness for Aslam made Bhutto jealous, and Aslam resigned his ambassadorship.
When Zia staged a coup against Bhutto, he made Aslam minister home minister. In 1987, tension between Pakistan and India rose; Rajiv Gandhi staged a huge military exercise, Operation Brasstacks, on the border of Pakistan. To defuse the tension, General Zia decided to go to India and watch the India-Pakistan test match in Bangalore. He took Aslam with him. They landed in Jaipur on the way, where they were received by Rajiv Gandhi. The cricket diplomacy ended the confrontation.
Now Pakistan has another dictator who has no use for Aslam, so he lives a quiet life in Peshawar. He has written an autobiography, A Pathan Odyssey (Oxford University Press). What stands out in his story is how concentrated power is in Pakistan, and how arbitrarily it is exercised. The ruler of the moment is all powerful; he raises people like Aslam to power, and as suddenly drops them. If they annoy him, he drops a cluster bomb and blows them to smithereens as happened to another grandee who had had a career very similar to Aslam Khan, Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti.

S grade narrows divide
An American academic, using the two-yearly Scottish Young People's Surveys, has measured the links between social class and performance in English, mathematics and science between 1984, when pupils sat O grade, and 1990, when almost all local authority schools offered Standard grade.
Professor Adam Gamoran of Wisconsin University, who has a Scottish base at Edinburgh University's Centre for Educational Sociology, says: "Curriculum reform can be an effective lever for social change."
However, at the top end of performance, the gap remains. Professor Gamoran has calculated that in 1984 a pupil from an advantaged background had an 86 per cent chance of obtaining a "pass" (level A-C) in O grade English and a 78 per cent chance in mathematics. The chances for a pupil with a disadvantaged background were 26 per cent and 12 per cent.
In 1990 the inequality was about the same: 91 per cent and 80 per cent in English and maths for the advantaged pupil and 32 per cent and 18 per cent for the disadvantaged. A similar picture emerged from science exams.
Professor Gamoran says that the successful elements of Standard grade may be part of a pattern that should continue with the introduction of the Higher Still programme and extended opportunities for post-16 qualifications.
Pupils who do not receive Credit-level awards at Standard grade may succeed at Highers if they have a longer time to prepare, as Higher Still would allow. That might benefit those from a disadvantaged background.

This is typical pig ignorant media reporting. Lightning is not "attracted" to metal. Lightning is just trying to follow the path of least resistance to ground. After breaking down normally non-conductive air, thousands of feet worth, a tiny bit of metal in the path makes no difference.
She was hit because she was standing in the path where lightning was going to strike anyhow. It had nothing to do with her, or any small amount of metal in the vicinity.
Nice show-stopper!
I wouldn't thank Him, sweetie, it looks like He was trying to kill you. Just be thankful He's apparently not a marksman. LOL!!
I'm ashamed to admit I was more concerned about he families and loved ones of those killed in our war on terrorism.
My abject apologies to the Beckys of the world.
Oh, and by the way, what color ribbon should I wear to make others as shallow as myself more aware of the plight of brain-dead dimwits such as Becky?

Style the Thank you messageAsked by lharby on November 27, 2013 at 05:51 AM
Hi there.
I have worked with several jotforms now, and this really is an amazing resource. The thing I am trying to do currently is style the thank you message that is posted after the form is sent.
The form I am working with is a single very small field for email, it sits inside a wrapper which has overflow:hidden as the property.
I have wrapped the thank you message in a div with an id, and then I am trying to style that id in the custom css section, but not sure if this is working. Is this still part of the editable form css?
Thanks in advance.
JotForm Support
Thanks for your great feedback. Unfortunately, the custom CSS part doesn't work with the custom thank you message page. You can stye the thank you message using the available tools from the wizard:
OR, use the HTML Source Editor and style it this way:
Let us know if you need further assistance.
Hey thanks for this.
Implemented it yesterday and it worked.

Sabbir Khan is all geared up for his next directorial venture with a film titled 'Heer And Ranjha'. This film is still in its initial stages and is expected to go on floors early next year. It has been reported that Sabbir wants 'Heropanti' star Tiger Shroff on board to play the male lead in this film. Earlier speculations were rife that Shahid was the original choice, but as we hear the 'Haider' actor has been replaced by Jackie Shroff's son.
Though Tiger has reportedly been confirmed for 'Heer and Ranjha', the director hasn't settled in for a female lead as yet. Rumours were that Kriti Sanon and Jacqueline Fernandez have been finalized. However, director Sabbir puts these rumours to rest as he says that no actress has been signed for the film and he is considering a few options before making things final.

Talk:North Country (New York)
|WikiProject New York
|(Rated Start-class, Mid-importance)
Adirondack Park[edit]
Ok, I realize the article states that the North Country "generally speaking" lies outside the Adirondack park, but the article on Franklin County states: Much of Franklin County is within the Adirondack Park. And that includes Paul Smiths, which is mentioned in the North Country article. Having grown up in the region, for what it's worth, we never thought the North Country ended where the mountains began. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 07:13, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, this is a really strange usage. In my experience, "North Country" includes the park. The sole source for this def states that the boundaries include "the Adirondack Mountains to the south" (meaning, presumably, that the region starts north of the mountains) but then goes on to state that "Natural attractions include [...] Ausable Chasm, the Adirondack Park and its 46 "high peaks," and Lake Champlain." [1] Of course, its from the NYS Ed Dept, which explains a lot ;-) I'm thinking seriously of changing it to include the park-- I'll try to find some sources ("North Country Public Radio", which covers all of the Adirondacks, comes to mind). Also, to get the 10,000 square miles mentioned in the Dept of Ed page, you have to include all but the extreme southernmost Adks. -- Mwanner | Talk 11:48, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- Warren and Washington counties refer to themselves as being part of the North Country as well. In fact people throughout the Capital District refer to Warren and Washington counties as the North Country. This article should be redefined to include all the area shaded as North Country on the map included by user Mwanner. Any state definitions should be mentioned but not used as definitive absolute definitions, since the state also considers Albany to be part of downstate per its definition on economic regions; state regional definitions are political and not representative of real life situations.Camelbinky (talk) 19:06, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
This map, from the Upstate, New York article, shows in green the area that fits my idea of the "North Country", and matches North Country Public Radio usage of the term. The green area would, though, exceed 10,000 sq miles-- it's probably closer to 12,000. -- Mwanner | Talk 12:31, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
As it stands right now, this mostly unreferenced article has only dead links for citations. --Pleasantville (talk) 16:54, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Spotlessly clean, very comfortable beds, great bathroom with fantastic shower, room was lovely and exceeded my expectations. Only small niggle was that the tv only had Sky or BBC World News in English and you had to pay 17 Euros per day for any extra channels which I thought was too expensive. I know you dont go to Barcelona to watch tv but in the mornings and at night we like to watch it and the news got very repetative every day and I think there should have been a bit more choice for English visitors. Also very noisy outside at night and early in the morning with mopeds revving up and the refuge collectors coming every day (usually between 12 and 1am!!) I would prefer a room not overlooking the street next time I think. But I did love the Hotel and the breakfast was lovely with so much choice and lovely touches like the freshly squeezed orange juice and the fresh fruit every day. I will definitely go back there one day as it was right near Las Ramblas and the Cathedral so in a perfect spot really. Loved the swimming pool on the roof too !! A Hotel to recommend.

Low Cholesterol Associated With 75 Percent Of All Heart Attacks!7,541 views
"I have come to realize that there is, literally, no evidence that can dent the cholesterol hypothesis… The effect of this study on the cardiovascular research community was….as you would expect…nothing at all, a deafening silence…"
Dr. Malcolm Kendrick, UK cardiologist
A nationwide study conducted by UCLA School of Medicine found that 75 percent of patients hospitalized for a heart attack had LDL cholesterol within the so called safe range – below 130 mg/dl. (21 percent of the patients were taking a statin cholesterol-lowering drug.) Even more astounding, 50 percent of patients had LDL less than 100 mg/dL – considered optimal levels!
The UCLA research team used a national database sponsored by the American Heart Association's "Get with the Guidelines program." The database includes information on patients hospitalized for cardiovascular disease at 541 hospitals across the country. The study was published in the American Heart Journal, January 2009.
The researchers analyzed data from 136,905 patients whose lipid levels upon hospital admission were documented in the AHA data base. This accounted for 59 percent of total hospital admissions for heart attack at participating hospitals between 2000 and 2006.
Now don't you think the researchers would conclude something like the following:
- Taking expensive statin drugs to lower your blood cholesterol may please your doctor but you are not effectively protecting yourself from a heart attack?
- Or, heart attacks suffered by 136,905 patients in an American Heart Association data base of 541 hospitals across the country did not reveal an association between elevated cholesterol and heart attacks.
This should have been the nail in the coffin on the Diet Heart or cholesterol hypothesis, but not according to study director Dr. Gregg C. Fanarow, Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine and Science, David Geffen School of Medicine, UCLA, who concluded:
"Almost 75 percent of heart attack patients fell within recommended targets for LDL cholesterol, demonstrating that the current guidelines may not be low enough to cut heart attack risk… "
May not be low enough!
How low can we go? Low cholesterol is associated with accidents, depression, and cancer? Wouldn't it make more sense to conclude that elevated cholesterol is not the cause of heart attacks, the cholesterol hypothesis is wrong, and the National Cholesterol Education Program should vote itself out of business?
Not likely.
Dr. Fonarow disclosed that he has conducted research for GlaxoSmithKline and Pfizer and serves as a consultant and has received honorarium from the following drug companies: Abbott, AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Pfizer and Schering Plough companies.
Published on July 13, 2004, the new more stringent cholesterol-lowering guidelines boosted statin sales from $15 billion in 2004 to over $23 billion in 2005. And now we are reminded once again that there is no good evidence to support the still unproven hypothesis that lowering cholesterol with drugs or diet will reduce cardiovascular disease or the risk of heart attack.
Cholesterol continues to be demonized and statins are being pushed more and more to lower cholesterol lower and lower, while the majority of people dying prematurely from heart failure have low cholesterol.
Winston Churchill said: "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened."

Thanks for the good news, but why is no-one in the FDA not concerned enough to say, "Maybe we'd better take another look at whether statins are needed at all."? Of course, we all know the answer: All the people in power are getting a slice of the Lipitor Pie. The doctors at the prestigious clinics are receiving "honoraria" (a fancy name for bribes) and lots of clueless patients — and the honchos at the FDA are looking forward to leaving their present employer after a decent interval for a job with Pfizer or another of the pharmaceutical companies. So they all have a good reason to not rock the boat.
The pursuit of scientific truth continues, but those profiting from this scam refuse to alert the public. Fortunately, some of the patients on the statin drugs are figuring it out for themselves and swearing the drugs off after years of debilitating side-effects (intense muscle pains, increased diabetes risk, and brain fog, to name just a few).
Thanks for your part in warning the public of what the medical profession and our high-paid bureaucrats at the FDA won't say.
"Scientific truth" will never be realised until we get all the dirty money out of politics.
can you post the link for the study itself?
Thank you for sharing this important information. As a victim of Simvastatin poisoning by my doctor, Kaiser Permanente, Teva Pharmaceuticals and George Soros, I will now spend the rest of my life in pain, no longer able to do the things I did on a daily basis, such as bicycle riding, hiking and walking. BEFORE Simvastatin I was physically fit, active and healthy. Now, I can barely walk to my mailbox. I would appreciate it if readers could support me in my battle by visiting my blog and driving up the visitor stats.
IMHO, just fixing a threshold for "dangerous ldl level" and studying risk above and below will never resolve the issue: if you believe the cholesterol hypothesis, and people are below the threshold are found to be at risk, one can always say that the problem is the threshold is too high. Only by actually plotting risk vs. ldl level for a wide range and looking at the shape of the curve says something (to the extent that observational, non-interventional studies say something, that is).

Fails to hit the ground without proper funding capacities
Array Shield
IT/ Enterprise Security
Pavan Thatha
Siblings Pavan and Rakesh Thatha were studying at IIT Mumbai and IIT Madras when they built IDAS, a product addressing the challenges of internet security in 2010. IDAS is a two-factor authentication solution that provides security against common and advanced hacking attacks related to identity frauds, phishing, replay attack and social engineering. In addition to providing high level of security, it is more affordable and easier to integrate and use than traditional alternatives.
The duo's biggest challenge was funding their venture. They had bootstrapped the venture with limited funds, and were looking to infuse the venture with funds raised from investors. But they weren't sure how to go about it or where to start.
NEN helped by directing them to Chandu Nair, mentor and investor. Chandu helped the founders to focus on business development and fund raising while making changes or introducing services that helped scale the business. Vishnu Priya, NEN consultant in Chennai also, "directed us to companies for our pilot project and helped with evangelizing our company. This period brought in marked changes including new clients, which ensured that we could carry on with our venture," Pavan said.

Jack Irish: Season 1
Posted in Disc Reviews by John Ceballos on August 19th, 2016
"He's just got a knack for being in the wrong spot at exactly the right time."
Jack Irish, the disheveled former lawyer-turned-debt collector with a nose for trouble, is at it again. The character is the creation of novelist Peter Temple, but Australian TV audiences got to know Jack thanks to a trio of TV movies starring the great Guy Pearce. The movies were successful enough that Jack Irish returned as a six-episode series that brings the entire gang back together.

Grout can easily become dirty. In moist areas, such as the bathroom or shower, mold may be the problem. In the kitchen food and daily traffic will add to the dirt. Rather than resort to chemical grout cleaners, first try a natural vinegar solution.
Things You'll Need
- Vinegar
- Water
- Spray bottle
- Scrub brush
- Sponge or towel
- Baking soda
Add equal amounts of water and white vinegar to a spray bottle. Shake the bottle to mix the ingredients.
Spray a small section of grout.
Use a stiff brush to scrub the grout. Srub a small section at a time using a circular motion.
Rinse with water and remove any excess moisture with a dry sponge or towel.
Vinegar and Baking Soda
Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda on the tiles.
Pour vinegar directly onto the baking soda. Allow the mixture to bubble for a few minutes.
Spray with a little more vinegar and then rinse with water.
Tips & Warnings
- A toothbrush may be used in place of the scrub-brush. The small head of the toothbrush will allow you to get into the groove of the grout. Toothbrush bristles may not be stiff enough.

It seems that the Flintstones house exist in real life or at least a very expensive copy estimated at $3.25 million dollars, on the beaches of Malibu, California, with it's own private beach.
This villa was custom built and all the furniture inside is custom made. Even the windows look like the classic stone house windows and the master bathroom is all covered with stones.
The first owner of the house was the television host, Dick Clark but my question in the end is why would you build it and why would someone buy it?
Looks interesting for fans but…

You can remove mold growth from most solid surfaces, including tables, using very simple, readily available household cleaning products. Once the visible mold is removed and the table is dried out, remaining mold spores on the table should be dead. Mold requires moisture and food--mold feasts on natural substances, such as cardboard or wood, for example--and won't survive when these are removed. Keeping the table clean and dry will prevent future mold growth.
Things You'll Need
- N-95 respirator mask
- Rubber gloves
- Protective eyewear
- Bucket
- Hot water
- Detergent
- Sponges
- Towels
- Fan
Put on your protective gear. For cleaning mold from a table, you should wear an N-95 mask, which prevents you from breathing in mold spores, rubber gloves and protective eyewear. Goggles are best as other safety glasses do not form a seal around the eyes.
Move the table outdoors, if possible. Fill a bucket, or another suitable container, with hot water and detergent if the table is made from plastic or metal. If the table is wood, use warm water. Instead of detergent, the EPA suggests using wood floor cleaner for moldy wood surfaces.
Dampen a sponge in the cleaning solution. Scrub the table well to remove the mold. You may use an abrasive nylon scrubber on hard table surfaces that can handle it. You may need to rinse the sponge often in the soapy water, or use a new sponge if the sponge gets too soiled.
Wash out the bucket and refill it with clean rinse water. Wipe the table downs with clean cloths and the rinse water to remove traces of cleaner.
Dry the table off thoroughly with towels. If you cleaned the table indoors, direct a fan toward the table to dry it faster. If outside, let the table sit in the sunlight to dry. Sunlight works well at killing remaining mold or mildew spores.
Tips & Warnings
- On plastic or metal table surfaces, you can use a solution of one part regular household bleach to 10 parts water to wipe away small amounts of mold or mildew. Detergent works better, however, on larger areas where mold has been growing for a while; it cleans it off more easily than bleach alone. Mold will sometimes eat through the finish on wood furniture. After cleaning, you may need to refinish these surfaces to make them look their best again.
- Never mix bleach with other household cleaners unless the label states it is safe to do so. Many cleaners contain ammonia; ammonia and bleach together create dangerous fumes.

"Elective orthopaedic unit"
About: Furness General Hospital Furness General Hospital Barrow-In-Furness LA14 4LF
Posted by Trevor Smith
I had a full hip replacement operation in the above unit in April this year. At 74 yo I was somewhat nervous as the last time I was hospitalised was to have my tonsils out at the age of 8. The treatment I received was first class as was the accommodation and the nursing staff were most attentive during my short stay. At some time in the future my other hip will need replacing and I will have no hesitation in returning to Furness General. Many thanks to all.

Hack: Redirect users to the main page and/or profile
I love WP but it irritates the heck out of me that when a user (subscriber role) logs in, he gets taken to the dashboard (which is useless for subscribers) and the only option he can click on is "Profile".
First, (thanks to Whooami) I modified a bit of code that redirects users to the main page after logging in by changing a bit of code in wp-login.php
case 'login' : default: if ( isset( $_REQUEST['redirect_to'] ) ) $redirect_to = $_REQUEST['redirect_to']; else $redirect_to = '/blogname'; (instead of 'wp-admin/')
Second, when the user would click on Site Admin, he would be taken to the Dashboard but I wanted the link to redirect to the user's Profile, so I experimented and modified the following line:
In /wp-includes/general-template.php:
Find: (around line 52)
$link = $before . '' . __('Site Admin') . ''*/ . $after;
Change to:
$link = $before . '' . __('My Profile') . '' . $after;
This eliminates the Site Admin link to replace it with My Profile and redirects to the user's profile page. The dasboard link is still accessible from the profile page but this is less confusing for users. When Admin clicks on the My Profile link, he gets the full backend but is in the profile page instead of the dashboard.
Now, my "Meta" section shows the following for logged in users:
My Profile
Log Out
Entries RSS
Comments RSS
This might not be the best solution but it works for me. If some savvy coder can come up with something better (maybe a plugin and wouldn't show the dashboard link for level 0 users), that would be great!

I pondered whether or not this should be an article or an LR post but I'll go for article.
I know many are disappointed with sports TV nowadays. Too much talk, broadcasts are overdone, and the rest of the crap ESPN does. Well that's why I'm giving you classic finishes and broadcasts from the 1970s and 1980s (and NBC stuff from any era), with the original announcers, network, music, you name it.
This week's theme is of course the NBA Playoffs.
Ralph Sampson's Shot That Shocks The Forum (1986)
Ralph Sampson was noted for not leading his team to the big stage in his college days at Virginia. In the NBA, he won rookie of the year and was a 4 time all star when it meant something, and hit a miraculous shot to send the Houston Rockets to the NBA Finals to face the Boston Celtics. Sure his career lasted 9 years and he has no shot at the hall of fame, but this play ended the repeat hopes of the Lakers at The Forum in game 5.
Just :01, inbounds pass at halfcourt, and the top pick of the 1983 NBA Draft (who was with the top pick of the 1984 draft in Hakeem Olajuwon, the Twin Towers if you will) had his moment to shine.
Announcers: Dick Stockton and Tom Heinsohn
Robert Horry For The WIN!! (2002)
Okay this is from 6 years ago but it is still a game, shot, and series to remember between the Sacramento Kings and the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.
The #3 seeded Lake Show was going for the threepeat, while the top seeded Kings were looking for their first trip to the NBA Finals since 1951. The two teams split in Sacramento for games 1 and 2, and the Kings dominated game 3 for a 103-90 win at the Staples Center.
Game 4 was make or break time. It looked like the dynasty would be over when the Lakers found themselves down by 24 at one point in the first half, but cut it to 12 at halftime.*
With the final seconds remaining, LA was looking for one of the largest comebacks in NBA Playoff history. They were down 99-97, Kobe and Shaq led them to this point. Yet neither would be the hero. Yep, it was Big Shot Bob.
What I like about this broadcast is that NBC, as they always did with the NBA, let the crowd override the announcers. And this was a perfect moment.
Announcers: Marv Albert, Steve Jones, Bill Walton
Oh Yeah, the Bulls (1992)
Before you accuse me of Laker bias. Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls were fresh off their first NBA title over the Lakers (HA!), and were poised for a 2nd against the Portland Trailblazers. The Blazers fell short against the Pistons in 1990 and this was their shot at redemption.
Too bad Michael Jordan was in the way. It started with his 39 point performance in game 1. Nothing special, except for his 35 point first half that even had Jordan himself shocked.
He nailed 6 three pointers, and this was coming from someone who was not a three point shooter. Just an amazing performance, Bulls take game 1.Game 6 back in Chicago was the clincher. Portland was up by 15 at one point in the 3rd quarter and was looking to force game 7. It was not to be though. Even though they held Jordan scoreless for the first 11 minutes of the game, the 4th quarter was his time. The other starters did their part, Scottie Pippen, John Paxson, Horace Grant, they all contributed to the repeat and the beginning of a dynasty. It was Jordan's two steals late as well as two free throws that iced it that sent Chicago to glory again. TV: NBC Announcers: Marv Albert, Mike Fratello, and Magic Johnson Hope you enjoyed the ride, there will be more to come.

Folk Moral Relativism
We are most grateful to Brad Cokelet, Jamie Dreier, Gilbert Harman, Eric Mandelbaum, Shaun Nichols, Jonas Olson, Mark Phelan, Jonathan Phillips, Ángel Pinillos, Jesse Prinz and David Wong for helpful discussions and comments on this paper.
Hagop Sarkissian, Department of Philosophy, City University of New York, Baruch College, Box B5/295, One Bernard Baruch Way, New York, NY, 10010, USA.
It has often been suggested that people's ordinary understanding of morality involves a belief in objective moral truths and a rejection of moral relativism. The results of six studies call this claim into question. Participants did offer apparently objectivist moral intuitions when considering individuals from their own culture, but they offered increasingly relativist intuitions considering individuals from increasingly different cultures or ways of life. The authors hypothesize that people do not have a fixed commitment to moral objectivism but instead tend to adopt different views depending on the degree to which they consider radically different perspectives on moral questions.

Pioneer Editorial: Cheers and Jeers
Cheer: A solid choice for president
Bemidji State University and Northwest Technical College will undergo an orderly turnover this summer when President Jon Quistgaard goes into retirement and Richard Hanson steps into his new role leading the university and college. Hanson has plenty of experience managing large universities. He has served as interim president of North Dakota State University, but taking on a dual role at BSU and NTC will be a new experience for him. Meanwhile, the community congratulates Quistgaard on his successful tenure and wishes him well in retirement.
Cheer: Roholts honored
Dr. H.B. "Ding" and Ina Roholt are this year's Paul Bunyan Playhouse Celebrity Stars. They were honored last week for their longtime commitment to the Paul Bunyan Playhouse and Bemidji's arts and entertainment community. The Roholts have been patrons of the Paul Bunyan Playhouse since the days when the summer theater held sway at Ruttgers Birchmont Lodge.
Jeer: Guinea pigs
The University of California Berkeley will send DNA test kits to 5,500 incoming freshmen to analyze various genetic traits such as responses to alcohol and dairy products. Even though the tests are voluntary and the ostensible motivation is to spur discussion about personal genomics, the whole idea smacks of invasion of privacy and seems somewhat coercive. Would students who refused the tests be blackballed?Cheer: The right name
The Robert H. Peters Rink at the Bemidji Regional Event Center recalls the history of hockey at Bemidji State University and the man who originated the program. With 702 wins as coach, R.H. "Bob" Peters has logged more wins at one institution than any other coach. He also played a pivotal role in BSU's entrance into the Western Collegiate Hockey Association.

STAFF from the Greyhound Inn in Siddington have powered through a 24 hour cycling challenge to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society.
Each of the ten-strong team cycled for two hours on an exercise bike and landlord Chris Wright picked up an extra hour at the end of the challenge to help a tired team mate.
He said: "It was a long 24 hours. It was tiring but worth it in the end."
"We had a standing fan to keep us cool and kept the fire exits open. The locals were all interested in it and gave the riders some stick for it."
As the challenge entered its final stages disaster struck as part of the bike gave way, leading to a fall for Chris and a series of jokes about him being the only person in the world to have fallen off a static exercise bike.
The bike was leaned against a wall, providing much needed stability for the last leg of the ride.
The final count for funds has reached £460, which will be added to the pub's fundraising efforts at its beer and music festival this weekend.
On September 6 and 7 the team are hosting a beer and music festival with a selection of beers, ales and ciders to be enjoyed during performances from a line-up of local bands.
As well as the 18 hours of live music there will be a hog roast, market stalls and several activities aimed at younger guests including a bouncy castle and mini-quad bikes.
Entrance to the event will be free and money raised will go towards Alzheimer's Society.
Several local businesses are supporting the event with discounts and free services but the event is still looking for sponsors and donors to help them raise more and keep costs down.
More information about the event can be found on Facebook at http://on.fb.me/1px70lu and donations can be made at http://bit.ly/1t2PoNG.

People and Culture
The Songhai Empire was expanded throughout present day Mali, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Guinea, Nigeria, Niger, and Mauritania, and was one of the largest empires of its time. The empire had more than 3 million people throughout 1375-1591. Many Songhai people are related and come from similar backgrounds, which caused the process of marrying to be a bit abnormal: men would be allowed to have more than one wife and people would be preferred to marry their first cousins. The people of Songhai wrote songs reminiscing about their past and how they overthrew a previous kingdom. All people sang, danced, and wrote poetry. Griots were storytellers and historians who told oral stories and kept traditions going. The griots would also keep track of people's ancestors and told stories through acting, dancing, and singing. Poetry performances were very important to Songhai culture.
Social class impacted an average person's life in Songhai society; it consisted of a king, average people, griots or storytellers, skilled workers, and slaves. Slaves were used to help farm and were traded in order to bring goods across the Sahara Desert to the Middle East. The main trade items from the Songhai empire was gold, cereal, slaves, and nuts. The empire consisted of two languages: Songhai, an oral language, and Arabic. Arabic was used for reading and writing, and especially in order to read the Quran.
The Songhai Empire was located south of the Sahara desert, where the land was flat and dry. The Sahara is an impossible place for any crops to grow that humans can live off of and has a very harsh climate. Luckily, the Niger and the Senegal rivers kept the soil in the empire rich enough to farm. The rivers were used for trade, growing crops, and transportation. Crops such as wheat, rice, and cereal were grown along the Niger river, but these crops were not valuable enough to trade and successfully make money off of. Instead, emperors of the empire took control over the salt and gold mines that were a part of the Mali empire and traded these valuable items with other civilizations who were across the Sahara. The wildlife and grasslands of the Savanna were also a part of the empire. The Songhai Empire had an indefinite and unusual shape, but the large area did contain a variety of ecosystems.
Many cities in Mali, a West African empire which is now a country, were conquered by the Songhai Empire. For example, Sonni Ali, the first emperor of the Songhai dynasty, conquered a city in Mali called Gao and made it the capital of the Songhai empire. Other owns in Mali such as Jenne and Timbuktu were soon recognized as important cities of the Songhai empire, all captured under the rule of Sonni Ali. Sonni Ali also took control over many important trade routes that were a part of the Sahara. The empire continued to expand in all directions. At the height of the empire, it extended for about 1 million square miles.
At first, the people of the Songhai Empire practiced traditional African religious beliefs under the rule of Sonni Ali. Sonni Ali conquered a city in Mali called Timbuktu, one of the wealthiest cities in West Africa and a main area for Islamic universities, which soon would lead to controversy since the Songhai empire was not yet practicing Islam worship and Sonni Ali was anti-Muslim. Traditional African practices continued until Sonni Ali died and Muslim Askia Muhammad took over, who then set up an dynasty. Muhammad attracted many Muslim scholars to Songhai and built mosques and created schools that studied the Quran (Islamic book of scriptures). Allah, the Islam god, is seen to be the creator of everything. Islamic people honor Allah by praying to him five times a day and sacrifice to him by strictly fasting.
Art was very important to the Songhai people. They were creative and spent a lot of time of time on their art. The people would use items around them to make buildings and useful materials needed in life including bowls and other items to eat or drink with. After Sonni Ali died, and conquering land was not as important to the empire, people education became an important part of life. This lead to many temples of learning, some are so well constructed that they are still around today. Buildings of the Songhai were typically made using stones cemented together with mud. Islamic styles were used to build temples, but some African styles were used as well. The people would trade with the cities around them and one of their main trading items was a colorful mask called a kifwebe which was used by the people to get rid of any disasters. These masks were made of wood and scrap metal. The Songhai were very focused on religion at the end of their era, which meant that most of their artwork was created in honor of Allah and their temples were all dedicated to him.
The Songhai government was an absolute monarchy which meant that the government had full control of the people and all decisions made; some would also call this a royal court. The government was split into executive ministries with each different responsibilities. It was very organized and strict, especially when emperors would conquer surrounding lands. It was based on the way the Mali Empire's government ran and the people of Ghana.
Songhai was the largest empire in West Africa which meant that the government had to be very strong in order to keep power in places they conquered. The army under Sonni Ali was strong, well-trained, and determined to conquer as much land as possible. Sonni Ali was also the military commander for the army. Ali was mysteriously killed; some believe that he was killed during a battle or that he drowned. Today many people think of him as a great man: sometimes called a hero, but to others in the Islamic faith, a tyrant. Sonni Ali's son took the throne for less than a year when Askia Muhammad took control. Askia Muhammad was a strong believer in Islam and made the government much stronger under his rule. He improved the government by enforcing governors of the individual cities inside of the empire, and also strictly only having Muslim governors. Muhammad also enforced Islamic law throughout the entire empire and built many Islamic schools throughout the empire.
Fall of the Empire
The Songhai empire ended in 1592 when the leader of Morocco came across the Sahara Desert with guns and the Songhai army only had spears and swords. This was the end to the largest empire in West Africa at it time.
