In The Wolf's Tooth, scientist and writer Cristina Eisenberg explores the idea that of "trophic cascades" and the position of most sensible predators in regulating ecosystems. Her attention-grabbing and wide-ranging paintings presents transparent reasons of the technology surrounding keystone predators and considers how this concept might help supply functional recommendations for restoring environment health and wellbeing and functioning.
Eisenberg examines either normal thoughts and particular concerns, sharing bills from her personal fieldwork to demonstrate and convey to existence the information she offers. She considers how source managers can use wisdom approximately trophic cascades to lead restoration efforts, together with how this technology may be utilized to maneuver ahead the daring imaginative and prescient of rewilding the North American continent. after all, the writer presents her personal ideas for neighborhood and landscape-scale purposes of what has been realized approximately interactive meals webs.
At their such a lot primary point, trophic cascades are robust tales approximately environment processes—of predators and their prey, of what it takes to outlive in a panorama, of the movement of food. The Wolf's enamel is the 1st booklet to target the very important connection among trophic cascades and restoring biodiversity and habitats, and to take action in a fashion that's obtainable to a various readership.

Welcome to Candy Land
The Third Annual Holiday Window Event
"Sweet Creations� December 2009
The Texas School for the Deaf Foundation is proud to showcase the creative energy of the talented students we support. We would like to share their holiday spirit with you and show you how your gifts could make a difference in their lives.
"Candy Land Heaven" by Texas School for the Deaf
A classic child's holiday play land, with a touch of Deaf culture to remind you that the Texas School for the Deaf (TSD) is a unique home to students where they LEARN, GROW and BELONG. As children, we all grow up playing with ABC building blocks. Here on the blocks, you see A, B and C and the American Sign Language (ASL) alphabet's fingerspelled equivalents. (Dactylology is the technique of communicating by signs made with the fingers, as in manual alphabets.) Our decorated tree is calling attention to the visual beauty ASL. Inspired by Andy Warhol's work, TSD photography students posed to demonstrate a number of ASL signs that are indicative of the holiday season. And TSD elementary students used popsicle sticks and adornments to create these ornaments in the whimsical shapes of hands. Can you find the signs for CHRISTMAS, STAR, CANDLE or COOKIE in the ornaments?
"Signs of the Season" Sophomore Alexandria B. from Salado used an SLR camera and her skills with Adobe® Photoshop® CS4 software. She created layers of images she captured of her TSD classmates demonstrating the "signs" of the holiday season. Excited to show her work to the public, Alexandria sends this message to you in American Sign Language, "I wish you CANDLES burning brightly—LOVE, HOPE, SUPPORT and FRIENDSHIP delivered by ANGELS carrying CANDY." Try signing this holiday message yourself. Alexandria's favorite subjects are Algebra and Photography. She runs cross-country track at TSD, and aspires to be a teacher.
Mary Wallace-Green holds a degree in Art Education from the University of Texas and has taught at TSD for more than 30 years.
"Reach for the Stars" Texas School for the Deaf junior, Marivel H. hails from Houston and has created a magical feeling in her digital photography piece displayed for the holidays. The creative use of three self-portraits shows herself scaling heights to trim her holiday tree with the notable TSD Ranger mascot. Rebranding of the TSD mascot in recent years brought forth the current horse that represents TSD today. Like the school that has stood in South Austin for more that 150 years, the image of the horse conveys endurance, agility, strength, power, energy and intelligence. And like Marivel standing tall here, a horse's free, forward stride symbolizes TSD students reaching for their dreams. Marivel plays volleyball, basketball and runs track for TSD. She is a member of TSD's Hispanic Club and the school's Junior National Association of the Deaf chapter. Bobbie Guerra holds a B.S. in Art Education from the University of Wisconsin. She is a 26-year veteran at TSD, teaching classes in Video Technology, Digital Graphics & Animation, and Art.
"Holiday Surprises� Sophomore at Texas School for the Deaf (TSD), Keisha H. from Laredo, credits her education at TSD for preparing and inspiring her to become a teacher someday. Her favorite subject is English, and she enjoys photography as a hobby. In her holiday-themed project, Keisha made a collage using photos she took, including some of her classmates. Keisha thought of the surprises the holidays bring and tried to invoke thoughts of wonderment with her glowing gift boxes. Keisha plays volleyball and softball at TSD and claims her family among her most significant role models. Her biggest dream is to become a singer.
"Hands On Holidays" Laura L., Texas School for the Deaf senior from Dallas, loves photography and video technology. She says she's discovered her creative niche in photography class at TSD. Because Laura loves young children and believes they inspire the world, she chose them as the theme of her holiday piece here. Combining a selection of her digital photos, Laura used her Adobe® Photoshop® CS4 skills. Removing the background to bring the hands to the forefront of the image was a challenge in achieving her unique vision. Like TSD, she says, "the image is all about the beauty of the children and the magic of their hands." Looking inside the ornaments, you'll see TSD students of all ages expressing their joy about the holiday season. Laura is considering a career teaching art to children.
"Marissa in the Box of Memories" Texas School for the Deaf senior, Kalie K. from Sugar Land, has a strong passion for performing and visual arts. Kalie played the lead role of Sandra Dee in the school's performance of the musical "Grease" last year and credits the production's two co-directors and her art teacher at TSD as impacting her life the most by instilling in her confidence and determination. For her piece, Kalie combined painting, using acrylics, and photography – choosing photos she felt showed a glimpse into her playful personality, with mixed media to add texture and the appearance of coming to life. Through her art, Kalie feels the freedom to express herself in several different ways. Kalie hopes to attend the University of Texas and become a therapist to help hospitalized children express their creativity through art and drama.
"Reindeer on the Austin Skyline" Senior from Dallas, Laura G. is aiming for a career in radiology after graduation. When not studying science at the Texas School for the Deaf (TSD), Laura also excels in her Digital Graphics class. Using Adobe® Photoshop® CS4, Laura created a variety of special effects. Wanting to capture the magic and fun of the holidays, Laura worked to choose just the right facial expressions in her subjects, and then playfully juxtaposed a classmate over the Austin skyline, giving this unique effect. If you spread your fingers and place both thumbs on your temples, like Laura's friend here, you are signing REINDEER – give it a try!
"Happy Holidays Tree" Texas School for the Deaf senior, Matthew P. from Kyle considers himself a 3-D Design Graphic Artist and plans to pursue a masters degree in the design field after high school. In his Digital Animation class, Matthew chose this holiday version of a snowy winter's eve. Using Adobe® Photoshop® CS4, he experimented with various shades of color before he settled on the holiday feeling he was looking for. Standing tall in the background – symbolizing TSD's strength - is the distinctive clock tower that stands on 67-acre campus in South Austin. Matthew added the softly falling snowflakes to represent the magic and spirit of the TSD community.
"TSD Elves Take Five" Studying photography and animation in her senior year at TSD, Desiree is from El Paso. She created this collage of TSD Elves with digital photos she took and special effects using Adobe® Photoshop® CS4. She added the three photos along the bottom for balance, including TSD's Ranger mascot. Desiree and many of her classmates live in TSD's dorms during the school week and return home each weekend to Take Five, remaining connected to family. Desiree feels "more like a whole person" since transferring to school at TSD and believes her future opportunities have broadened because of the student body - consisting of roughly 500 deaf and hard of hearing students, the large population of American Sign Language users and the burgeoning Deaf community here.
"Toyland Sleigh" Antonio B. (16) from Katy, Austin B. (14) from Ft. Worth, Guadalupe C. (15) and Cristian M. (14) both from Laredo, Rodolfo C. (17) from Del Rio, Jenny C. and Darrion G.

Texas School for the Deaf elves busy in Mill and Cabinetmaking class built this handcrafted sleigh for its debut. The Mill and Cabinetmaking class is a course in the Career and Technology Education (CTE) Department that integrates academics with technology, teaching hands on skills that can apply to many trades and careers down the road. For this project, students began with a pattern cut from ¾ inch oak plywood. They used a saber saw to create dimensionality, drilled all the connecting points, then assembled it using ¼ inch brass screws before using a cherry red stain and finishing it with the Texas state cut out. The toys here will go to TSD's Early Childhood program. Dan Guerra holds a B.S. in Industrial Arts from (Southwest) Texas State University. He teaches Mill & Cabinetmaking, Computer Maintenance and Drafting at TSD.
"Holiday Masks"
by Texas School for the Deaf Elementary Students 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade elementary students convey many emotions from day to day at the Texas School for the Deaf, but the holiday season always brings a lighter sense to their moods. With these embellished masks they created, you see a range of emotions evident in facial expressions – just as in American Sign Language (ASL). Facial expressions in ASL provide grammatical context in the same way English speakers do with voice. Facial expressions and gestures can completely alter a sign's translation with movement of the eyebrows, lips and mouth showing different grammatical aspects of sign language. Many students at TSD use their voices, along with ASL. From traditional to exotic and international, these masks are synonymous of the diverse population of deaf and hard of hearing students in our community. Mindy Moore, M.Ed. is a graduate of TSD ('90) and has taught elementary art at TSD for 10 years.
"Holiday Vignettes" Using Apple's Final Cut Pro 7 with Motion 4 software, students learn the applications of special effects. In these holiday vignettes titled Santa's Woodshop and Run Run Rudolph, see how many American Sign Language signs you learn from the budding actors in the production.
"Tsunami Shorts" Enjoy Tsunami Studio's holiday vignettes Santa Claus is Coming to Town and the notorious TSD Weatherman. Texas School for the Deaf's"Tsunami Studio"operates under the school's Career and Technology Education Department, providing countless opportunities for students to explore hands-on use of cutting-edge equipment, software and technology that matches that of many university programs. Studio students each year select their studio name and operate as a full in-house production company — acting, producing, writing, editing, compositing and marketing. 2009-2010 Tsunami Studio: Mysty A.

(17) from Newton, and Emmanuel T. (19) from Dallas.
Texas School for the Deaf 's Holiday History On loan from the Texas School for the Deaf museum, curator and TSD alumnus Franna Corley-Camenisch gives a glimpse of TSD past. The replica here was the original main administration building at the Texas School for the Deaf, constructed in 1877. With the featured twin towers, the Austin deaf community coined the building "Mule Ears" and still today uses the same American Sign Language sign for "mule" when referring to the treasured old landmark. This model was built by TSD alumnus Van Nelson ('63) in 1995 using only old photographs of the original structure, since it was demolished in 1956 when it became unstable and deemed irreparable. This replica of Mule Ears is a featured display in TSD's Heritage Center museum at the South Congress campus. If you put only your pointer and middle fingers together on each hand, with your thumbs on your temples, you are signing MULE or MULE EARS. Try it!
Ongoing financial support from friends like you will ensure that deaf and hard of hearing students - both on campus and across the state of Texas - will continue to Learn, Grow and Belong. TSD's Educational Resource Center is the only statewide educational resource for deaf and hard of hearing students and their families in Texas. While TSD stretches to maximize its' efficiency, the cost of providing nationally recognized programs and educating this special population of students remains our biggest challenge. This is where you can help, by supporting the TSD Foundation and the Texas School for the Deaf's mission.
Essential needs include: $55 = one hour of speech therapy for a student $130 = one student's hearing aid batteries for a year $250 = two months of medication for a needy student $550 = 25 new books for the library $1000 = major miracles!

A tradition of nationalism
The case of Hungary
When observing the ugly manifestations of extremism in Hungary or the maverick policies of its current government, foreign commentators usually perceive the underlying nationalist sentiments, but tend to interpret them as just another brand of nationalism in "New Europe". Hungarian nationalism, however, stands out in central Europe. It is particularly forceful and, to use a mild term, nervous. It is always on the alert, wary of possible vicious attacks and lashing out when no one would expect, as there was no apparent or unprovoked offence. Ethnocentric national biases quite often override rational economic or social considerations or even, paradoxically, diplomatic interests. Moreover, the cult of national unity as opposed to pluralism is one of the main principles encoded in the new Fundamental Law (the constitution promulgated in 2011), resulting in a distortion of democratic political institutions.
It is quite difficult to understand present-day Hungarian public affairs without being familiar with the particular nature of Hungarian nationalism, while it is impossible to understand its nature without knowing its centuries-old historical roots.
The curse of continuity
One important feature that distinguishes Hungary from all other central European nations is the continuity of its statehood. Ever since its foundation in the year 1000, apart from a single decade after 1849, there has always been a functioning Hungarian state. It is a source of pride for Hungarians even today, yet it also proved to be a curse, as the rigid social, economic and political hierarchy remained intact from the Middle Ages until 1848. Much of it survived even until 1944.
The new democracy established in 1989 was thus confronted with the following dilemma: on the one hand, the Hungarian nation-state had a singularly strong and continuous pre-communist political tradition; on the other, that tradition was essentially undemocratic. Meanwhile, there has been a series of popular freedom struggles and revolutions in the nation's past, but they were all defeated sooner or later, so their political heritage was the spirit of revolt itself rather than any model for a viable political system.
Fidesz, which emerged as the dominant right-wing party in the late 1990s, consciously built up an image of the "great Hungarian past" out of second-hand fragments of pre-1944 ideology, while there was very little that left-wingers and liberals could set against the emotionally powerful, history-based nationalist agitation. Viktor Orbán's first government (1998-2002) ran a huge propaganda campaign in 2000 commemorating the millennium of the Hungarian state. Symbolically, the Holy Crown of the Hungarian kings was taken from the National Museum to the Dome Hall of the Parliament. More than symbolically, a new act of legislation stated, "The Holy Crown lives on as a relic [The Hungarian word ereklye is used exclusively for religious relics] embodying the continuity and the independence of the nation in the national consciousness and in the Hungarian traditions of public law." At that time, most people in the opposition were amused by the notion of the Holy Crown as the symbol of a secular republic. By 2011, the smiles froze: the second Orbán government forced through the Fundamental Law which reiterated the Holy Crown thesis (this doctrine being a sixteenth century invention) and dropped the word "Republic" from the official name of the country. It is now simply "Hungary".
The preamble to this new constitution is entitled the "National Creed", and it was admittedly modelled after the preamble of the 1997 Polish Constitution. But while the latter refers to "the best traditions of the First and Second Republics", there is no such value-oriented selection regarding the national past in the Hungarian constitution. According to the National Creed, the same Hungarian state that was founded in 1000 and lost its "self-determination" with the arrival of German troops on 19 March 1944 was resumed on 2 May 1990 when the National Assembly was convened after the first free elections (formally putting an end to Soviet-backed communist rule).
Stressing this, one of the current government's main projects is to reconstruct the huge city square adjacent to the Parliament "as it was on 18 March 1944". The Hungarian state on March 18th 1944, however, was an ally of Hitler with a long record of antisemitic laws, some of which were even more radical than the Nuremberg laws. This is not to say that the Orbán government would accept Nazism; it goes to great lengths to prove the opposite. It is simply that the allegiance to an ideal unitary national community and the continuity and "self-determination" of the nation-state are the supreme values for them and for their voters rather than the components of a pluralistic liberal democracy.
Two kinds of good Hungarians
August 20th, the Catholic feast day of St. Stephen, the first king of Hungary, is an official state holiday. The central event of that day is a procession where the "Holy Right" – St. Stephen's blackened and mummified right hand – is shown to the public. It is attended by state dignitaries of all persuasions. While the Holy Crown was created somewhat later, popular belief held that it was the very same crown that the pope sent to Saint Stephen in the year 1000. The cult of state continuity, hence, has a distinctive Catholic aspect to it. This is not the case with national or nation-state independence. As I have mentioned, there is another, rebellious nationalist tradition, which is very much – but not exclusively – associated with Protestantism. To name just one crucial event: in April 1849, the National Assembly proclaimed the dethroning of the House of Habsburg and elected Lajos Kossuth, a Lutheran, to be governor-president in the Reformed Great Church of Hungary's greatest Calvinist centre, the city of Debrecen.
This dichotomy is older than modern nationalism. During that time when the Ottoman Turks occupied central Hungary (1541-1686), there were two Hungarian states; Royal Hungary in the west and the north, and the Principality of Transylvania in the east, with a buffer zone between the two, known as the Partium ("the Parts") and the so-called Seven Counties in the northeast. By dynastic treaty, the Habsburgs ruled Royal Hungary, while Transylvania was more of a Polish-style commonwealth with elected princes, though under Turkish suzerainty. The Reformation was victorious in the sixteenth century, but unlike in Poland, the success of Counter-Reformation in the seventeenth century was far from complete. It was most effective in the regions closer to Vienna, while the Seven Counties and the Partium remained staunchly Protestant (with Debrecen emerging as "the Calvinist Rome") and Transylvania was a haven of religious tolerance with a mostly Calvinist protestant majority. Although Royal Hungary was multi-ethnic and under Austrian-German rule, most of the buffer zone was homogeneously Magyar. In Transylvania, the political community was dominated by Magyars and Szeklers (an ethnic group of debated origin, given collective nobility, which many consider to be "more Hungarian than Hungarians").
The division between the mostly Catholic west, ethnically more open and pro-Habsburg, versus the Calvinist east, which was stubbornly "true Magyar" and anti-Habsburg, remained even after the end of the Turkish occupation when Hungary was reunited. Within time, two permanent nationalistic traditions developed. Each had its own behavioural patterns, political language and traditions. Meanwhile, the tension between the lack of national sovereignty (that is, being ruled from Vienna) and the well-developed internal autonomy resulted in two more definitive features shared by both traditions. The first was an obsession with written law as the prime medium and subject matter of politics. The second feature was the emergence of a culture of grievances, as the game of home politics was mostly about detecting, and protesting against, non-Hungarian infringements upon the ancient rights and privileges of the nobility. Both are very much alive today.
A blueprint for future revolutions
More important, however, are the basic differences in political strategy between the two divisions. The conservatives held that the partial loss of sovereignty was an acceptable price for internal autonomy and building personal and national wealth. Their method of dealing with the authorities was bargain and compromise. For the rebels, any loss of sovereignty was intolerable and the lack of full national independence was seen as an obstacle to achieving national well-being. They detested compromise. While the ruling elite followed a conservative philosophy most of the time, the rebellious option has always been much more popular among the general population. I wonder if there is a Hungarian town without a Kossuth Street (the square next to the Parliament is also named after Kossuth, considered by many as the father of Hungarian democracy), while far fewer streets are named after Ferenc Deák ("The Sage of the Nation"), who was the architect of the particularly fruitful 1867 compromise.
From the seventeenth century onwards, there were revolts against the Habsburgs or, seen from another aspect, against the millennial Hungarian Kingdom under the Holy Crown. Out of these, the War of Independence (1703-11) led by Francis II Rákóczi was relatively the most successful. Rákóczi and the section of the estates that supported him, managed to set up a parallel state that existed for several years. They set the blueprint for later struggles and revolutions. Militarily, the endeavour was heroic and sometimes victorious but ultimately hopeless as it was based on foreign policy miscalculations. On the other hand, it had a democratic character compared to the region and the age (serfs were allowed to serve in the army and were promised emancipation after the end of the fights; the nobility's traditional exemption from taxes was abolished).
The 1848-49 revolution and War of Freedom followed the same pattern, as did the 1918 revolution that was terminated by a Bolshevik coup in 1919. Except that during the democratic phase of the 1918-19 revolution there were no military victories at all, as the new government first refused and then was unable to set up a national army. So it was the communist regime's turn to play the part of glorious losers. Foreign policy miscalculations were there all the while. Even the 1956 revolution had essentially the same positive and negative sides, and it deliberately used 1848 language and imagery. The term for the military aspect of the Rákóczi experiment, 1848 and 1956 is the same: szabadságharc, literally "freedom fight". The Orbán government uses the very same term when it comes to its campaign against the IMF or foreign-owned public utility companies, tapping the reserves of centuries-old resentment for which non-Hungarians are the enemy and compromise is a dirty word.
Orbán and his court ideologists have never been at a loss when they had to ignore contradictions. They belong to the nationalist ruling elites that rely on popular votes. So the elitist non-republican tradition of the Holy Crown can live side-by-side with the quixotic populist tradition of the freedom fighters. The former is utilised when the main point of interest is neutralising democratic institutions and the rule of law; the latter is the main vindication for arbitrary decisions in foreign affairs and economic policy.
The Trianon trauma
Short-lived revolutionary episodes were followed by long periods of conflict-ridden but essentially peaceful evolution; the most successful of these was the age of the dualistic Austro-Hungarian Monarchy (1867-1918). It was called "the happy peaceful times" in the calamitous decades that followed. After the Compromise of 1867, Hungary found itself to be one half of a middle-ranking European power. It had its own cabinet and bicameral parliament (only foreign, monetary and military affairs were shared, although Hungary had a small home defence force of its own). It was finally reunited with Transylvania. It experienced sustained economic growth that brought it closer to western Europe. Its government was not democratic in the modern sense, as only six per cent of the people had the right to vote, but it was parliamentary and liberal. The large Jewish population, emancipated in 1867, was rapidly assimilated and ran much of industry, finances, commerce, the press and even agriculture. By the end of that period, there were Jewish cabinet ministers. It was a liberal and capitalist success story.
After 1918, all this was shattered. While for all the other central European states gaining or regaining national independence was a source of joy and self-confidence, in Hungary it coincided with the nation's greatest historical disaster. With the Treaty of Trianon in 1920, Hungary lost 68 per cent of its population and 72 per cent of its "millennial" area, including the whole territory of present-day Slovakia, Transylvania, the Partium and Fiume (now Rijeka Croatia), its only seaport. The historical kingdom was a multi-ethnic state with a slight Hungarian-speaking majority; therefore, much of that loss was inevitable (although most of the political elites had not been aware of the danger). What made the shock unbearable was that roughly 30 per cent of ethnic Hungarians became citizens or subjects of other (hostile) states.
The ruling elites blamed the liberal "excesses", modernising trends and Jewish over-representation for bringing about the disaster. Liberalism and urban capitalism were equated with Jews, while ethnic purity, Hungarian traditionalism and a kind of authoritarian national collectivism became uncontested values. Most of the elite saw the redistribution of Jewish wealth and a curtailment of Jewish rights as the remedy for social and economic ills. It was this popular ideology, rather than Nazi influence or pressure, which resulted in the deportation and death of the majority of Hungarian Jews within a few weeks in 1944. Also, as the western democracies had shown no intention of redeeming the injustice of Trianon to any degree, it was irredentism that drove the Hungarian political elites to Hitler's arms (between 1938 and 1941 most Hungarian-inhabited regions were awarded back to Hungary).
Today, 94 years after the fact, the main dividing line between the left and right is still whether one "grieves Trianon" or not. This is what foreign observers seldom take into account. The Orbán government respects the post-1945 anti-racist taboos scrupulously, but apart from that, the old responses to the Trianon shock such as anti-liberalism, a suspicion of markets, statism and authoritarian national collectivism are still the attributes of the "national" side just like they were in the interwar period. It is worth keeping in mind that there is not a single liberal conservative or centre-right party in the Hungarian parliament today.
Healing the wounds of Trianon
How can the Trianon trauma be so persistent almost a century after the fact? The answer is simple: because of the communist dictatorship. First, there was hope for 25 years that the dismemberment of the country was redeemable (at least partly). After the Second World War, however, Stalin insisted on restoring the Trianon borders. When the Treaty of Paris confirmed this in 1947, Hungary was on the verge of the communist takeover. So by the time the public could have confronted the fact that the division of the Hungarian cultural nation was irreversible, there was no free public sphere where "grieving" could be done and no free international scene where the Hungarian state could or would have spoken out for the rights of Hungarian minorities. The official line was that the treaty was unjust, but it was a response to the oppressive ethnic policies of the Hungarian ruling class, while among "brotherly people's democracies" the treatment of national minorities cannot be a problem.
Meanwhile, the népi (völkisch, narodnik) intellectuals, successors of the interwar agrarian socialist movement among writers, ethnographers and sociologists, who were the only non-communist intellectual-political cluster that was now officially tolerated, made the situation of Hungarian minorities beyond the border their central political issue. It was quietly supported by the party-state leadership, which was at loggerheads with Nicolae Ceausescu's regime in Romania. When the process of democratisation began during the late 1980s, the Hungarian Democratic Forum (MDF), the first legalised non-communist political group, grew out of the népi movement. After the transformation, MDF occupied the niche of the largest centre-right party for some time. When the taboo on Trianon discourse was at last lifted, it was only natural that the intellectuals around MDF (who later opted for Fidesz) made it their cause.
In this respect, the referendum in 2004 about extending Hungarian citizenship to possibly all ethnic Hungarians living outside Hungary's borders was a turning point. The initiative came from a dubious ultra-nationalist group, and Fidesz embraced it mainly for tactical reasons. The background slogan was "we can finally heal the wounds of Trianon". The referendum failed because the socialist-liberal government of the time ran a populist counter-campaign, pretending to protect welfare achievements from poor Romanian Hungarians and people were still wary of Fidesz as they suspected that dual citizenship is just a costly ploy to gather pro-Fidesz voters abroad. This suspicion was justified later.
Afterwards, however, Fidesz made the left-wing and liberal parties and intellectuals the targets of permanent attacks for being "traitors of the national cause". At the very first session of the new Parliament in 2010, Fidesz enacted dual citizenship, referring to the real will of the people, while the socialists, who internalised their own defamation, also voted for it with three exceptions. Ninety years after the fact, the anniversary of the Treaty of Trianon on 4 June was declared, paradoxically, the Day of National Unity. This, however, is quite characteristic of present-day mainstream Hungarian nationalism. The nation is united by the grievance of separation and one cannot be a part of that unity if one does not believe in it.

UK team building robofish to detect pollution
Robot fish developed by British scientists are to be released into the sea off north Spain to detect pollution.
If next year's trial of the first five robotic fish in the northern Spanish port of Gijon is successful, the team hopes they will be used in rivers, lakes and seas across the world.
-Watch the robot fish in action here.
The carp-shaped robots, costing 20,000 pounds ($42,000) apiece, mimic the movement of real fish and are equipped with chemical sensors to sniff out potentially hazardous pollutants, such as leaks from vessels or underwater pipelines.
They will transmit the information back to shore using Wi-Fi technology.
Unlike earlier robotic fish, which needed remote controls, they will be able to navigate independently without any human interaction.
Rory Doyle, senior research scientist at engineering company BMT Group, which developed the robot fish with researchers at Essex University, said there were good reasons for making a fish-shaped robot, rather than a conventional mini-submarine.
"In using robotic fish we are building on a design created by hundreds of millions of years' worth of evolution which is incredibly energy efficient," he said.
"This efficiency is something we need to ensure that our pollution detection sensors can navigate in the underwater environment for hours on end."
The robot fish will be 1.5 metres long - roughly the size of a seal.

U.S. Nationals Win Identifies Powerful New Force in Racing
Daughter of Funny Car Champ a Contender at Motorplex
ENNIS, Texas. (Sept. 24-26) -- Barbie Goes Ballistic! That's the best description of Ashley Force, the 21-year-old daughter of drag racing legend John Force, who'll drive the 275 mile per hour Mattel Toy Store dragster this week in pursuit of the Top Alcohol Dragster championship at the 19th annual O'Reilly Fall Nationals presented by Castrol SYNTEC® at the Texas Motorplex.
Ms. Force, a former high school cheerleader, showed off her championship pedigree earlier this month when she won the world's oldest, largest and most prestigious drag racing event, the 50th annual Mac Tools U.S. Nationals, at Indianapolis, Ind.
"It took me 15 years to win Indy," quipped her proud father, winner of a record 113 NHRA tour events including four U.S. Nationals titles. "My kid comes for the first time (in the Top Alcohol class) and wins it."
Ms. Force, who apprenticed for two years in a less powerful (160 mph) Super Comp dragster, will be among the favorites at the Motorplex, a track on which her father has won six times and on which he has been a finalist in nine of his last 11 appearances.
A 2003 graduate of California State University-Fullerton, where she majored in Communications with an emphasis in radio, TV and film, Ms. Force quickly emerged as a Top Alcohol contender under the tutelage of car owners Jerry Darien and Ken Meadows, widely recognized for their development of some of the sport's top professional drivers including Gary Scelzi, Brandon Bernstein, Melanie Troxel and Frank Pedregon.
In fact, Ms. Force is the seventh different driver to win an NHRA national event with Darien and Meadows.
Although Indy represented her first career victory at the national level, Ashley won a regional Lucas Oil Sportsman Series event at Rusk, Texas, in June and led the national Top Alcohol point standings for several weeks earlier in the season. She has started six races from the No. 1 qualifying position including the U.S. Nationals.
Projected as a future driver of one of her father's 320 mile per hour Castrol-backed Funny Cars, she will remain with Darien and Meadows for the foreseeable future, certainly through 2005.
"I'm real proud of her," Force said, "but she still needs experience. I don't want to move her up too quick and there's no better place for her to learn than right where she is. Darien has handled a lot of top drivers. He takes care of her on and off the track and that's what I like."
Before winning the Nationals, Ashley was a finalist last May at the NHRA Summit Southern Nationals at Atlanta, Ga.
She has advanced to the semifinals or beyond in 13 of the 16 regional and national races she's run since moving up in classification.
Although her father was skeptical about her racing aspirations, Ashley provided something of a clue early-on when, at Esperanza High School (Yorba Linda, Calif.), she took as electives auto shop and welding.

I had the airbox off tonight to have another look inside.
I couldn't believe how small the trumpet goes to inside the box.
Now I am considering just cutting it out, but would need some sort of grinder to take the inside lip off where it meets the airflow meter. I am replacing the throttle body with one 10mm bigger, but it seems like it will be a waste of time if it can't suck more air in the first place. Either that or just get some form of induction kit.
On a related topic, does anyone know if the airflow meter on the 3.2 will fit my 2.2? As this is the next restriction in size I can see, and I imagine the 3.2 one is bigger?
Any thoughts, suggestions or opinions welcome.

Improved maize varieties, developed by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and partners, that will help enhance food security and incomes of maize farmers in West and Central Africa have been released by the Nigerian National Variety Release Committee.
The release of the improved varieties has sparked optimism for increased maize productivity in the sub-region. The varieties, which were developed at IITA in partnership with the Institute for Agricultural Research (IAR) of the Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria and Institute of Agricultural Research and Training (IAR&T) of Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile Ife, aimed to overcome the major constraints to maize production in the sub-region, including drought, low soil fertility, pest, diseases and parasitic plants.
Researchers developed the varieties through conventional plant breeding by exploiting traits that are naturally available.
The improved maize include 13 open-pollinated varieties of extra-early-, early-, intermediate-, and late-maturity with resistance to Striga hermonthica and stem borers, tolerance to drought and with good adaptation to sub-optimal soil nitrogen.
Also four hybrids with drought-tolerance were released. The committee also released two Striga-resistant and two white and two yellow productive hybrids developed at IITA in partnership with Premier Seeds Nigeria Limited for production and marketing by the company.
The release of these stress-tolerant varieties and hybrids will promote the rate of adoption of improved maize cultivars by farmers in Nigeria, which will contribute to productivity increases in maize on farm and also improve food security, says Abebe Menkir, IITA Maize Breeder.
"These varieties have the potential to provide farmers with opportunities to overcome the challenges to maize production in the WCA,†he added.
Yield losses due to Striga and prolonged droughts could render a farmer's field unproductive with nothing to harvest.
Also the impact of low soil fertility is often as devastating as droughts while stem borers in the forest regions hurt both productivity and farmers' incomes.
Every year, IITA distributes improved open-pollinated varieties and hybrids to the National Agricultural Research Systems (NARS) and the private sector in and outside of West and Central Africa through regional trials. These trials have been used as vehicles for selecting promising varieties and hybrids adapted to specific conditions in the different countries for extensive testing and release.

Lynda Despas, symbol of courage and perseverance in her community
Lynda Despas, a 41 year old single mother, lived in the Haitian capital with her son in a small house out of which she also operated a small grocery store. During the earthquake of January 2010, her house collapsed on her and her son. Miraculously, they were both rescued, but were left with no way to provide for themselves in the city amongst the rubble of their former life. Lynda and her son left Port-au-Prince with only the clothes on their backs to return to their home village of Bethel, in the Matheux region. Lynda perservered and quickly engaged in community activities with the Groupe de Femmes Vaillantes de Bethel (GFVB), an association whose goals are to support women in Bethel in the areas of literacy, community development, and agriculture, and that brings together about 100 female members. Her dedication and leadership was a clear example to others, and she is today president of the association.
Under Lynda's leadership, this same drive and ambition for a better future led GFVB to work with the USAID-funded Feed the Future West/WINNER project in 2011, to receive essential training for organization members in: improved agricultural practices, management of input supply stores (BIA) including inventory management, business skills, leadership skills, and small farm management. "With FTF West/WINNER's support, association members now have a totally different concept of agricultural work: they take it on as their primary occupation to support their families and improve their living conditions", Lynda explained. Thanks to these trainings, members also learned the critical role women can have in agriculture.
The BIA run by GFVB, although subsidized by FTF West/WINNER, is working towards becoming fully managed and financed by the association. Indeed, with more efficient management and inventory control, GFVB now has 606,639.36 gourdes (around $14,000) available in its bank account and is better able to purchase inputs directly from wholesalers, which reduces their need for subsidies. Recently, FTF West/WINNER also donated a cereal processing unit to the association. This will enable GFVB to provide processing services to members of the Bethel community, and can represent revenues of around $100 per day during the harvesting season.
In Lynda's personal life, she has made great strides as a result of her efforts and collaboration with FTF West/WINNER. Thanks to the revenues earned from her agricultural activities, Lynda has been able to open a small restaurant that provides her with a monthly revenue of 20,000 HTG (USD $450). With this income, Lynda can afford to send her son to school. She adds: "The FTF West/WINNER project taught me to manage and grow my money, and that's exactly what I did. "
This single mother has made GFVB a model association in the community of Bethel. Lynda explains that now, « Many other associations consult me, asking for advice. » Of course, a woman like Lynda has even higher aspirations : She dreams of becoming the Mayor of Cabaret, and proudly declared that she wants to "make my mark on the development of the region." If Lynda's past success is any indication of her future, it looks like she'll certainly have a lasting impact on her community.

In a shock move American pianist singer songwriter Barry Manilow has announced that he is abandoning the piano in favour of the oboe.
Manilow said Thursday that while he enjoyed a good session fingering the ivories of a well stacked grand he had decided that it was time he came out and admit that he was in reality more a good hard woodwind sort of guy.
"It's all very well tinkling away on a keyboard but getting your lips round an oboe and blowing a heady tune is really where it's at" said Barry.
Manilow, real name is Boris Manislave, admitted that the news of his switch to woodwind might comes as a shock to his many female fans after four decades of crooning love songs.
"But let's face it, their husbands sons and boyfriends probably hate my guts," he said pointing out that the upside for them would be that it'll be impossible for him to sing with his mouthful.
Manly Barrilow confirmed that rather than rerecord his back catalogue as woodwind instrumentals his next album will be one of lesser known 1930s swing standards including Fletcher Henderson's Queer Notions.
"It's particularly well suited to the oboe," he explained.
"Unlike A Weekend in New England, which is frankly something I'd rather forget," he shuddered.
Commenting on Mandlebrot's decision in a 3am tweet, US president Donald Trump expressed his disappointment that a man so famed for tinkling the hearts of the nation's grannies could suddenly switch to playing the oboe, and sought to place blame on his predecessor in the White House.
"Terrible decision. Tinkling is where it's at, although personally I prefer younger tinklers. Yet another example of Obama blowing it bigtime and encouraging others to do likewise," he tinkled.

Pro- Blood Sports body has nominating powers to Seanad!
international | animal rights | opinion/analysis Tuesday September 17, 2013 21:29 by Ban Blood Sports in Ireland
Another reason to scrap the Senate...
Animal Lovers asked to back Seanad abolition if pro-blood sports organization continues to have nominating powers!
Various reasons have been advanced for the abolition of the Seanad. As campaigners against blood sports in Ireland, we have a special grievance against this elitist Upper House of parliament. The so-called National Association of Regional Game Councils (NARGC) is included in the Agricultural Panel on the Register of Seanad Nominating Bodies.

This is a reason to REFORM the Seanad, not ABOLISH it. Pushing more power into the hands of people like Enda's "gang of four" will not serve the interests of animals in the long term. They don't give a shite about animal welfare, just profits. They'll allow farming practices that will result in more animal cruelty not less, if it increases profits, and they'll encourage industries with little regard for animal welfare to set up shop here.

I agree with the post above. A reform is a better proposition here.

Ladies Grey Marl Star Wars A New Hope Poster Scoop Neck T-Shirt
Star Wars, A New Hope, was released in 1977 and was where it all began (in movie terms)! Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia and Darth Vader were to become household names and became idols (maybe less so Darth Vader) for a whole generation. This wicked ladies tee pays tribute to the greatness of Star Wars and a great era for Sci-Fi!

This is part two only in that it comes after the section I posted previously. It doesn't quite join up (but it will) and then I have some ideas about what comes next. Again, I would appreciate any comments. Thanks.
They say the domes of Kwa 59 are so bright you can see them from anywhere in the system. I don't know if it's true but they certainly looked pretty as we coasted down into dock. Of course those of us that grew up in the subsystem below are not so easily impressed. There was an old spacer that I used to run errands for when I was kid, once said it was like an iceberg. I remember that when I asked what that was he just laughed, a long croaking cackle that dissolved into a cough. He lived in a cabin down the track and I used to hang around a lot. I went there mostly because it was warm but sometimes he would start to talk and then I would just sit and take it all in. He had actually been born on Home, that's how old he was and to a kid like me, whose only world was the tangle of the under city, it was magical. My mother tried to make me keep away, said he was a crazy, that he'd spent too long in space and maybe it was true but that didn't stop me stowing away on a mining ship when I was only fourteen years old.
We glided on over the luxury cruise ships and then past the long rows of the sporty playthings of the rich and powerful. Like everywhere else on Kwa appearances were everything. No way a working ship like mine was going to dock anywhere in plain sight, certainly not at the prices they charge. I was just pulling up to the dock when Drd padded into the cockpit.
"Crck fruup?" He chirped and jumped up into the co-pilot's chair.
"Come on" I mock snarled at him. "Speak human"
"Ftrrp rrt ckrh Kwa drrtfth" he replied.
"Beautiful is going a bit far" I didn't speak Kwa beautifully, but I could get around in it. I was one of the few humans who had bothered to learn, which is probably why Drd put up with me.
When we got close Drd hit the EMT which pulled us in snug. I flicked on the com.
"Wake up, we're in"
A tousled head appeared in the viewer.
"Out again tomorrow?"
"As long as you're paying"
"See you then"
The viewer flicked off. Drd spun his and gave me a look, his eyes fading pink and white again in disapproval.
"What?" I said "you don't need the money?"
Drd pulled a three-armed shrug that was weirdly human in meaning and hopped down from the chair, his movements concise as he dragged a tool bag from under the console.
"Phut rrike sprnd nrt" he whistled over his shoulder as he scampered down the passage that led to the engines.
"You too!" I replied. I stood and stretched, feeling a brief dizziness and then clenched my eyes shut. I needed shore time.
Stepping out of the lift was the sensory equivalent of a mugging. A cocktail of smells: denfr root, cooking fat and urine, overlaid the the background iron tang of blood. Coloured pools of light spilled out of the shops and bars along Main Drag to mingle with reflections of neon signs and video screens. Vidcasts, music, shouts and cries all competed to be heard over the background echos. This is the sound of the undercity, that pervasive susurration of sounds with nowhere else to go.
The third bar along was named 'The Rocking Horse' which sounded cute until you realised that it referred to the music and the ready availability of hard drugs. Still, they did a good meal for a low price, so I slipped in among the crowd. It was dark inside. Smoke filtered through the rays of light from the games racked up along the wall.

Home & Office Hard Floor Sanding Service Westferry E14
Slate and stone floors are very resilient to dirt, damage and in general are a very good choice for a more active residence. However, the thing about these floor types is that they hold more dirt than you can tell. The moment you start to notice the dirt and grime on a slate floor, is the moment of no return. For the dirt to be visible means that it has built up to a critical point and its removal will require specialised equipment and techniques which most consumers don't have. We deal with cases like this by using our emulsification, heat and pressure cleaning methods which allow us to effectively capture the dirt and waste. Regular methods work on smaller scales, however, once dirt has started to build up to a point where it's visible, is the moment where regular washing detergents cannot help.

Hi. I'm just discovring your blogs and incredible drawings. I don't know the cartoons you worked. Perhaps because they aren't published in France. Too bad ! I love so much fantastic universes.
This picture, did it come from Hellboy comics ? The character looks like Mignola's character...

Wexford and Rosslare RNLI crews were involved in this afternoon's operation
Two fishermen have been rescued after getting into difficulty off the Wexford coast.
The men had been razor fishing when their boat got caught in lobster pots, a mile and a half to the south east of Blackwater Head.
The Wexford RNLI lifeboat responded to their call just after midday, and requested the assistance of Rosslare Harbour RNLI in the operation due to the stranded boat's location.
The lifeboat crew found that the fishermen were not in immediate danger, and helped establish a towline to free the vessel.
The boat was towed to shore by the RNLI with the assistance of another fishing vessel in the area, and the operation finished at around 4pm.
David Maloney, Rosslare Harbour RNLI Lifeboat Operations Manager, said the fishermen 'did the right thing' by raising the alarm.
"Our volunteers both from Rosslare Harbour and Wexford responded rapidly and worked well together to bring the fishermen safely to shore," Mr Maloney said.
He added that it "has been a busy week for our volunteers but they are always ready and delighted to help anyone in need at sea".

Download Witch Digest apk 2.0.1 free for Android smartphone
Posted by Doctor Micro in Books & Reference | Nov. 13, 2015 | 24 Comments
Apk file size: 5.0 MB
A quick reference for those who practice Witchcraft and Magick, along with a link to the WitchDigest.com, a fast growing website digest for Witches, Wiccans, and the curious pagan.
The app includes:
- Calendar with Sabbats and Esbats, Moon Phases with (VOC) Void Of Course.
- How too's on Creating and Casting Spells.
- Witchcraft.
- Magick Tools of the trade.
- Correspondences.
- Book of Shadows reference and use.
- A guide to Familiar and Power Animals.
- and More...
Hi, I'm Summer Song.
I've been using magick for most of my life. Since I can remember actually. Besides being called a natural witch and other names (some not so nice), I have been a dedicated witch since 1998. I first began learning from physical teachers, you know the living breathing kind, a long time ago.
Yes, I began learning about Wicca. My foundations are in Wicca and I have always been a religious and spiritual woman. I spent the first two years studying witchcraft from Wiccans. No, I didn't join the coven but I did grow to respect them as witches and people. My life took me into solitude as a witch and in my practice, I learned and grew as an Eclectic Solitary Witch.
This Witch Digest app is intended to be helpful to those who are new and alone and who already know the very basics of witchcraft such as what is magick and how does it work. Using spells and doing rituals. It is not fun sometimes to not have anyone to talk to about a spell you did or someone to get advice from when it comes to magick. It is difficult to learn from experience, books and intuition all on your own. Fellowship is nice to have but when you are alone and you need information or a fresh perspective, I hope you find that here. There are many great apps, books and websites to gain information from. I hope this is one that you will find a good resource as it grows.
I don't plan to address the religious part of witchcraft such as specific holidays or specific religious rituals but I will likely brush over religion and religious beliefs because I believe that religion plays a huge role for most people. Not necessarily Wiccan religion but any religion. Not every Witch is religious and some are Atheist. I believe that religion through core beliefs can and do affect our magickal experiences, practices, and results. None being better than the other, by the way.
There is a great deal of controversies surrounding witchcraft and within witchcraft itself. There are many individual beliefs and practices. There are many different meanings to correspondences and it is my belief that in this diversity there is valuable information to be shared. What I write is based on my own personal beliefs, experiences and personal perspective on witchcraft. Some will agree and some will disagree with the content on this site. What you believe is up to you to decide?
It is our intent here behind the scenes to encourage and promote Positive change, self-healing, and personal growth through the use of witchcraft because that is what we believe it is best used for.
If you wish to impart some knowledge or your perspective on this app please use the email address provided.
I would like to see others contribute from a fresh perspective, as long as it is helpful. Specifically, hate speech will not be tolerated. If your opinion is hateful, keep it to yourself. There is enough hate in this world. Spread kindness and courtesy in this world... Remember "ye harm none, do what ye will".
And please take the time to rate my Witch Digest Android app.

Cairen Suller
Thank you I have been always searching for these... I'm glad you made these...
Raven Belote
Nice little app. I enjoy reading the different articles. Nice calendar, and quick information. Only problem for me was that the pages were difficult to scroll. They moved painfully slow, almost as if they didn't want to. Don't know what's up with that. 4 ?
Samantha Fairless
Meh Was hoping for more. Found another app. Same basic content but much more extensive.
Isobel Genete
Why? Why won't it work on my phone? Huhuhu T_T I really really want to learn about Wicca and all but it won't even open. T^T
Aradia LeCrone
Not bad as this type goes It's definitely more of a primer for the novice but has a bit of decent reference material that I don't necessarily always have memorized. I wish there were a section with some of the better known info too... Like a searchable encyclopedia but this is definitely a decent starter. (sorry had not noticed that there
Her articles are great also very well thought out & written... The calendar is awesome & well the app is just full of extremely useful as well as fun & interesting stuff.
Talea Phillips
Great app! I enjoy this app and have learned new things about Wicca and Witchcraft. Its amazing! I unfortunately do not have the resources for the spells. Spells arent the only thing about it though so I still love it :)

Recommendation for help Go to you tube and watch videos by Frater Xavier, mindandmagick channel. It is a great start to learn magick and metaphysical practices. I havent tried this app yet, i will review in a week. I am not affiliated with frater xavier or mind and magick. It is a wealth of information.

Updated August 31, 2011
Washington, N.C. — Ron Rogers said he had no qualms about spending Friday night on his 40-foot trawler at McCotter's Marina in Washington, even as Irene approached.
"I've spent my life on the water," Rogers said with matter-of-fact tone on Tuesday.
The decision could have been a fatal one, however, as storm surge from Irene plowed through the marina. When he poked his head out of the boat Saturday, he said, things looked a bit different.
"Boats (were) catawampus and up on the dock," he said. "(Water) was over the top of my pilings. We were stranded."
Some other boaters had to rescue Rogers from the trawler during the storm.
"My boat's fine," he said.
The same can't be said for a number of boats at the marina and a nearby boat yard. Some sank, while others were up on docks or a nearby road.
Many boaters sought refuge down river in Goose Creek State Park, but even that wasn't safe haven from Irene's surge.
The Margaret, a vintage wooden sloop that was part of WRAL News' Parade of Sail five years ago, is now the newest landmark at the entrance to the harbor of Bath, where it washed ashore.
Irene's surge bashed Bath, Washington
Irene bashed Bath, tossing boats, smashing docks and littering the harbor with debris.
The storm surge crashed into Bath resident Paul Kamarow's basement workshop.
"It blew the doors out and me along with it," Kamarow said Tuesday.
He had 5 feet of water inside his house and a mound of debris outside.
Kamarow has lived in Bath for 30 years, but he said Irene was a first for the state's first town. Still, he said, it wasn't bad enough for him to move.
"I'm going to clean it up and start all over again," he said.
This story is closed for comments.
"I've spent my life on the water," ..
I am not sure what he was referring too...his bathtub?.. someone has actually done what he said would not have done that....and he put others at risk to have to rescue him. Newbie mistake not a seasoned sailor
What an idiotic thing to do. I do not have any sympathy for those who chose to risk their lives and the lives of others by disregarding evacuation orders.
Is this an advertisement to go there to rubberneck like a tourist?
That the spirit! Clean and up and carry on.
