I have always been a fan of Texas Governor Rick Perry. I donated to his last campaign and met him personally in Washington D.C. at CPAC 2011. I tried to convince him to run for President. At the time, he declined.
However, he seems to be warming to the idea due to the fact that the current field is quite weak.
Part of what has always drawn me to Perry is the fact that he is a strong supporter of the 10th Amendment.
I am a"Tenther". I always have been, and always will be.
I believe in the sovereign power of the States. I also believe that the Federal Government repeatedly trespasses into areas where it does not belong. Perry states that he feels the same way.
We share a core ideology.
Perry is not perfect. He has made a few boneheaded political choices that I don't care for.
But I can look past those individual errors to see the bigger picture.
He is the right man for the GOP in 2012.
Perry has the perfect resumé....
Elected Governor of Texas three times.
Led his State to jobs growth in a Depression-like economy.
Widely respected and admired by his peers.
Former Air Force pilot.
Perry can also deliver on a personal level.
He has a homespun style that connects with voters.
He doesn't hide his Christianity or his beliefs.
He is a man you feel you can trust completely.
Watch this video.
Everything he says makes sense...especially the economy stuff.
It is a winning argument for the 2012 campaign.
While watching this video, I got the overwhelming feeling that Rick Perry is going to enter the 2012 race.
I also believe he will be our next President.

Hip Hop and gang violence

Hip Hop and gang violence
A lot of people classify hip hop as bad, violent or gangsta music. They have to understand that hip hop is first of all a type of music just like Jazz and Blues. The content of a Blues song depends on the writer of the song and the same goes for hip hop.
To tell you the truth hip hop started in the hands of vibrant young party goers. Along the line it spread into the hands of gang members and rough neighborhoods. Out of the heart the mouth speaketh. You don�t expect to get clean water out of a dirty cup. So also the music took the form of the gangstas that where writing the songs. Remember that art especially music is self expression. So when a gangsta took the pen to write rythmes .It was actually a criminal given the freedom of speech to express himself ( which most of the time is uncensored).
This tragic new shift changed everything. It was like the bullies in Kindergarten invading the section of the playground for normal kids. But in this time they had a twist: going us or get bullied..
This made many rappers join the gangsta rappers (bullies) not necessarily for the money but so they won�t look soft and because of pressure from the media.
Many folks think that people go into gangsta rap because of the money. Well, that isn�t always true. You could make as much or even more money making love songs. Remember gangsta rap doesn�t appeal to majority of hip hop�s female audience. So releasing a gangsta rap record restricts you from profit in that area. Also only kids with little or no guidance would buy your record. A normal kid with a good relationship with both parents would be too busy spending time with them, going to the park or a playground of some sort for recreation, going on family or camping trips, etc.
Most importantly their taste in music would be a result of what they hear around the house or the places they are at frequently. If the are always around hip hop they would most likely grow up loving it. The same goes for other genres of music.
Haven�t you noticed that in most families where they spend time together and learn together at a young age they also grow up loving the same genre of music. In some families you would notice they all play the saxophone or all of them sing Pop. It�s not a coincidence.
Do you think it is a mystery that 99.9% of Jamaicans love reggae. It�s what they heard frequently while growing up.
Gangsta rap happens to be on of the most popular movements in hip hop. One of the down sides is that it has gotten many attracted to the gangsta�s way of life.
As they say �garbage in garbage out� . Whatever you allow to get into you is what is going to come out of you. If you keep listening to gangsta music although you may not have killed anybody { yet}. It gradually changes you and programmes you to became something I won�t like to say.
Yours Truly,
Alfred Benjamin King.

Nick White has been appointed as the new head of domestic marketing for beef and lamb at the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB).
Nick originally joined AHDB in 2013, when he acted as interim head of marketing for AHDB Beef & Lamb (then EBLEX) for a 12-month period. During this time he instigated the successful Mini Roast campaign (Why Wait 'Til Sunday?), which continues to be core to the organisation's market development strategy.
Following this, he then moved into the head of marketing role for AHDB Potatoes (previously the Potato Council), where he launched the three-year EU campaign, Potatoes – More Than a Bit on the Side. The first year of the campaign is coming to an end and has already had good engagement and pick-up from the potato industry.
Nick brings a wealth of marketing knowledge to the role. He has previously held senior marketing positions for companies including First Milk, where he was marketing director of their cheese portfolio, and Muller Dairy, where he was head of marketing for Ireland and had UK responsibility for a number of their popular brands.
Speaking about his appointment, Nick said: "I am thrilled to be given the opportunity to head up the domestic marketing team for beef and lamb.
"Encouraging consumption of quality assured beef and lamb is a key part of our work to support the long-term sustainability of the sector.
"I look forward to building on the success of last year's mini roast campaign alongside other elements of our marketing plan and promoting the great products our beef and sheep industry is producing."
More information on AHDB Beef & Lamb's marketing activity, including a promotional activity calendar, can be found in the marketing section of the website.

SAN JOSE — A 19-year-old man was arrested as a suspect in a vicious machete attack that left a man dead in a grisly scene outside a Blossom Hill Road fast-food restaurant last week.
Police said Christopher Lema was taken into custody Tuesday evening in the 1000 block of Blossom Hill, about 21/2 miles from where Demetrius Porter, 36, was found mortally wounded in the trash bin area of the parking lot outside a Jack in the Box restaurant in the early hours of May 16.
Porter's multiple injuries were consistent with a machete attack, and such a weapon was located after he was discovered around 1:18 a.m., according to police. He died at the scene.
Shortly after the attack, San Jose police spokesman Sgt. Jason Dwyer said being assaulted with a machete is "a very brutal way to die" and added the department does occasionally see cases involving large, bladed weapons.
"It's not as unusual as people might think," said Dwyer. "We had someone killed with a samurai sword last year. Yes, it's unusual in that you don't see it every day, but every so often you do see one."
The killing came at the tail of a tragic 12-hour spate in San Jose and an adjacent neighborhood that also saw a 48-year-old woman and 1-year-old infant stabbed to death in Alum Rock, and a 35-year-old woman butchered in a Monterey Road motel room.
In the Alum Rock stabbings, the woman's son was arrested soon afterward and has been charged with killing his mother and nephew as well as the non-fatal stabbing of his 3-year-old neice. Police are still seeking an estranged ex-boyfriend in the motel room slaying.
In Porter's case — which was San Jose's 16th homicide of the year — investigators did not specify what led them to arrest Lema. A news release states that "there is no known connection between the suspect and the victim and the motive behind the attack remains under investigation." Police described Lema as their "primary suspect" but did not state if they believe additional parties were involved in the slaying.
Porter's aunt, Dolores Crocker, said the family learned of Lema's arrest but knew no additional details about the suspect and that they are still reeling over the loss of a loved one. She said the victim was born and raised in San Jose, and a brother said Demetrius was living at his home when he was slain.
"Demetrius was loved passionately," Crocker said. "He comes from a large, loving family, and we are very devastated that somebody, whoever they are and for whatever reason, did what they did to Demetrius."
On Friday, she was making plans for her nephew's funeral.
"We have a body of someone who we dearly loved, and we weren't done loving him and now we have to bury him," she said. "But faith in God will sustain me and will sustain the family."

The classic suit is a staple and necessity in every man's wardrobe. Fashion fads will come and go as long as we live, but there is something timeless about a classic, solid colored suit that perfectly fits a man's body.
We need not stay in touch with the trends of the times to sport a charming and fitting look that everyone will admire.
Don't let the office space notion of a boxy, stifling, low-quality suit taint your idea of what a tailored suit can accomplish.
Read on to learn about that classic suit.
I think everyone would agree that it is still refreshing to see a well-groomed, well-mannered, classy man wearing a suit that effortlessly fits his body. This classic approach to masculine dress is not only time honored, but it also exudes a confidence and trustworthiness that trends, fads, and less conservative clothing choices lack.
While your comfort level may be a part of your criteria in choosing what to wear, bear in mind what kind of image you want to project. The clean lines and familiarity of a suit project an image of capability and professionalism, and set the expectation of well-mannered behavior from the man wearing it.
Classic Suit Style
I would encourage men to take a second glance in their collective closets and pull out that suit for consideration. Better yet, go to a department store to start your search in buying a new one.
Gray, black, or navy blue; pinstriped, or not, there are plenty of options to consider. Go with peaked lapels if you want something more formal or a double-breasted jacket for something more classic.
Try notched lapels and a two-button jacket for something younger and sleeker but still assertive. Don't skimp on the shoes, belt, or tie, as each part of the outfit supports the entire ensemble.
If you wear a suit often enough or if you are just starting your professional career, it may be worth it to find a form fitting suit made from a high quality wool, that has clearly been tailored to your unique needs by an experienced professional.
It will cost you more but you will wear your suit with pride and it will last years with proper wear and care. A well-tailored suit can make a good-looking man look even better and whatever you decide, remember that a good suit will never go out of style.
For those just looking for a simple definition of what a classic suit is, here is the best I can do. This suit is a two or three button suit in a traditional color like charcoal gray or navy blue.
It is a standard fit and should not look much different than the average suit you would have seen a hundred years ago. This suit is timeless and will still be viable for office wear a hundred years from now.

Rolapitant Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Warnings
Rolapitant is also known as: Varubi, Varubi IV
Rolapitant Pregnancy Warnings
The manufacturer makes no recommendation on use during pregnancy due to lack of available data to inform any drug associated risks. US FDA pregnancy category: Not Assigned
Animal studies did not reveal any teratogenic or embryofetal effects at doses up to 2.9 times the maximum recommended human dose. However, maternal toxicity was evident based on mortality/moribund condition, decreased body weight and food consumption, total litter loss, prolonged parturition, decreased gestation length, and increased number of unaccounted for implantation sites. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Animal fertility studies showed a transient decrease in maternal body weight gain, increases in pre- and post-implantation loss, and slight decreases in number of corpora lutea in females but no effect on the fertility or general reproductive performance of males. US FDA pregnancy category Not Assigned: The US FDA has amended the pregnancy labeling rule for prescription drug products to require labeling that includes a summary of risk, a discussion of the data supporting that summary, and relevant information to help health care providers make prescribing decisions and counsel women about the use of drugs during pregnancy. Pregnancy categories A, B, C, D and X are being phased out.
Rolapitant Breastfeeding Warnings
After administration of a single oral dose equivalent to 22.5 mg/kg rolapitant free base, the mean milk/plasma radioactivity concentration ratios 1 to 48 hours post-dose in lactating rats were 1.24 to 3.25. Based on average daily consumption of milk (2 mL/day) and the maximum milk radioactivity determined, offspring exposure is expected to be 0.32% of the dose.
Benefit should outweigh risk. Excreted into human milk: Unknown Excreted into animal milk: Yes

I studied and completed a Certificate of Art and Design at West Coast College of TAFE.
On nine occasions I have attended Charles Sturt University Summer School in Bathurst to further my technical ability and have been tutored by Australia's leading artists in watercolour, acrylic and mixed media as I am constantly seeking avenues to further my artistic knowledge.
At the Claremont School of Art I have taught Watercolor
on a part time basis
and have conducted workshops in Moora and Beverley for adult students. I have given numerous demonstrations to different art societies in Western Australia.
For several years I have been an active member of The Watercolour Society of WA Inc. Recently I have hosted demonstrations by inspiring artists at my studio and have invited fellow artists, students and members of the community to attend and benefit from seeing another artist at work. This has proved to be extremely beneficial for all parties.
I have had a painting published in "PERTH 2010- As We See It" after an exhibition sponsored by The Watercolour Society of WA Inc. at the Perth Town Hall.
My work is represented in many private collections and I exhibit widely throughout the state.

Some people tell Jeff Grabosky that he must be crazy for running across the United States, and he jokes that, yes, he probably is. They also ask him if he wants to be like Forrest Gump, and he says not really, but he is growing a beard.
Then they ask him the most important question: Why are you doing it?
"I'm praying for people as I run," he told Our Sunday Visitor. "It started out as a personal goal, then it turned into doing something for others."
Grabosky, 28, is saying a decade of the Rosary for each request he receives. He hears from people by email on his phone and prays for each of their intentions as he runs toward his goal of arriving in Connecticut in late May.
"The most frequent ones are prayers for other family members, like parents, children and spouses," he said. "Family is very important. If you look at the news, you would think it's not, but it seems to be the opposite."
Grabosky was on middle and high school track teams, and at the University of Notre Dame he ran intramural cross country and finished his first marathon. His mother, Valerie, used to run casually, and she always took a rosary ring. She was 50 when she died from cancer in 2006. A week later, Grabosky's wife left him.
"You think you have a good life and then, all of a sudden, you find yourself very lost," he said. "I always was a prayerful person, and prayer was the only thing I had to turn to. That's how I went on with my life. I continued to pray for direction and never gave up. I never said that God doesn't care. I always believed that God had a plan, and I stayed true to him and trusted him."
He was managing a running store in Washington, D.C., when he started planning the run. His 3,700-mile journey started Jan. 20 in Oceanside, Calif., and winds through the Southwest, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
People from all over the world have gotten in touch with him to encourage his journey and to ask for his prayers, which he said he finds humbling.
"We have our own ideas about what we are asking for when we pray, but God's plan is so much better than anything we can imagine. Just trust him and realize that it will work out for the best. That's something I have learned."

Women's labor - producing both crops and children - has long been the linchpin of male status and power throughout Africa. This book lucidly interprets the intricate relations of gender to state-building in Africa by looking historically at control over production and reproduction, from the nineteenth century to the present. Miriam Goheen examines struggles over power within the Nso' chiefdom in the highlands of Western Cameroon, between the chiefdom and the state, and between men and women, as the women increasingly reject traditional marriages. Based on a decade of fieldwork, this work tracks the negotiations between chiefs and subchiefs and women and men over ritual power, economic power, and administrative power. Though Nso' men obviously dominate their society at both the local level and nationally, women have had power of their own by virtue of their status as women. Men may own the land, for example, but women control the crops through their labor. Goheen explains clearly the place of gender in very complex historical processes, such as land tenure systems, title societies, chieftancy, marriage systems, changing ideas of symbolic capital, and internal and external politics. In examining women's resistance to traditional patterns of marriage, Goheen raises the question of whether such actions truly change the balance of power between the sexes, or whether resistance to marriage is instead fostering the formation of a new elite class, since it is only the better-educated women of wealthier families who can change the dynamic of power and labor within the household.
Goheen's study of gender and power among the Nso' people of Camaroon is an intimate, complex and evocative discourse culled from 12 years experience living among the people she describes. The central issue of the volume is the internal power relations within the Nso' chiefdom and how these networks interact with national power structures. Under this broad umbrella she discusses history, gender relations, and local political processes, underlining the Nso' women's resistance to traditional patterns of marriage and its possible relationship to a broader social dissent.

Performance Computing: The Brave GNU WorldSep 22, 1999, 05:38 (5 Talkback[s])
(Other stories by Michael Tiemann, Byron Gillepsie)
"Building a fast open-source compiler for IA-32 meant knowing what to change and how."
"Tuning a compiler is like trying to open a combination lock by trial and error, except that you cannot progress through every combination in an orderly fashion: when you change one tumbler, not only can the others randomly change their values, but the lock's combination may change as well. You shouldn't give up on performance tuning because of its complexity, though, just understand that any discussion about optimization is relative and necessarily incomplete."
"When developing the GNU compilers for the Intel Pentium II processor, we confronted an advanced superscalar processor that had the potential to deliver outstanding integer and floating-point performance. While the Pentium II can run codes generated for the 386, 486, and Pentium unmodified, new compiler strategies are required to get the full performance possible with the Pentium II. Here, we will discuss three specific ways to maximize Pentium II performance..."

June 2017: New Research Opportunities
June 2017: Research positions in Data Mining, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence
Post References: DMML-ROC-17-MS/DMML-ROC-17-SE
Up to three new research positions are available in the Data Mining & Machine Learning Research Group, led by Dr Michael Madden in the National University of Ireland Galway, to contribute to a substantial European Union research project called ROCSAFE, which involves an exciting combination of aerial robotics, ground-based robotics, sensing systems, image analysis, and artificial intelligence.
There are positions available for a software engineer and for research scholars (MSc by research with possibility to transition to PhD). The software engineer will receive a salary commensurate with experience. The MSc students will receive a tax-free scholarship of €16,000 per year, with fees also paid. Additional funding is provided for research-related travel.
The research and software development work is likely to involve topics such as: (1) development of communications protocols and simulation of a realistic multi-agent system; (2) routing of autonomous vehicles for optimal collection of multi-resolution image and sensor data; (3) context-aware decision support driven by sensor data analytics.
This is an excellent opportunity to combine research with software development, working in a flexible and stimulating research environment, while collaborating with academic and industrial partners across Europe.
Entry Requirements:
Candidates for the research scholarships must have a strong honours bachelor degree (equivalent to H1) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or a similar discipline, and preferably a relevant MSc degree also. Candidates must have excellent mathematical ability, strong software development skills, great communication skills, and a strong interest in research. Preferably, candidates should demonstrate prior experience in data mining and machine learning.C
Candidates for the software engineer position must have a strong bachelor degree in computing or similar, as well as demonstrating relevant experience in software development in programming languages such as Java and/or C++, and excellent communication and interpersonal skills.Expected Start Date: Flexible between 1 July and 1 Sept 2017.
The positions will remain open until filled, but first consideration will be given to those received by 12 June 2017.
About the ROCSAFE Project: ROCSAFE (Remotely Operated CBRNe Scene Assessment & Forensic Examination) is funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme. Led by Dr Michael Madden in NUI Galway, it is making advances in autonomous robotics (ground-based and air-based), probabilistic reasoning, intelligent decision support, and miniaturised sensors, all of which will work together to gather forensic evidence in the event of a chemical, biological, radiation/nuclear or explosive (CBRNe) incident. ROCSAFE's overall goal is to fundamentally change how CBRNe events are assessed, and ensure the safety of crime scene investigators, by reducing the need for them to enter dangerous scenes to gather evidence. There are 13 partners in total involved in the project across Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Germany, along with a further group of advisory board members. There is more information at http://www.nuigalway.ie/remoteforensics/.
Software for Bayesian Network Classification
Over several years, I have developed open-source machine learning software for inductively learning various forms of Bayesian networks from data, and for classification using BNs.
You can download it here, with instructions on how to use it.
Features include:
- Learn Naive Bayes, Tree-Augmented Naive Bayes (TAN), General Bayesian Networks, and BN-Augmented Naive Bayes structures
- Multiple scoring metrics, including the K2 metric, BDeu and CMI
- Visualisation of structures using GraphViz (DOT and DOTTY)
- Supplementary code to work with data from other formats, to perform cross-validation, to construct learning curves, and to construct ROC curves
For a description of the classifiers, and a discussion of their relative performance, see: "On the Classification Performance of TAN and General Bayesian Networks" , Michael G. Madden. Knowledge Based Systems, 2009.
Please cite that paper if you use this software in your work.

I've been personally involved in the Portuguese property market for over 25 years, so by now I know Portugal pretty well. In fact I've just returned from a business trip there, and I thought it would be a good time to reveal the current state of play in the Portuguese property market – and maybe dispel some myths.
When people consider Portugal as a destination, they normally think of golf, port, and beaches. However, there does seem to be some confusion with its neighbour Spain, especially regarding the beaches. Portugal and Spain are very different, I can assure you!
Portugal's beaches are often much longer and western facing, and bizarrely they are often seen as cooler, since they are more subject to Atlantic influences rather than the Med'. Having just experienced temperatures of nearly 100 degrees in September, I'm not sure this impression is correct!
It's a common misconception that the Spanish and Portuguese property markets are similar. I do not believe this is the case, primarily because Portuguese holiday areas are less dense, and the overall ambience in some of the popular areas such as Quinta do Lago, Vale do Labo, Villamoura, Cascais, Estoril and parts of South and North of Lisbon (such as the Silber Coast) is more acceptable. In addition, the build quality is often to a better standard, especially as there are not so many unfinished developments and cranes everywhere!
Portugal needs to market itself better and explain more clearly the differences between itself and Spain. If it could do that, it would be of great benefit to the economy. Tourism & property sales are clearly areas where Portugal needs to become stronger if it is to come out of its recession, particularly because it does not have as strong an industrial base as Spain.
My view is that properties prices should be cut to attract more buyers. I don't say this because Spanish developers or agents have already done so, but there are buyers in countries such as Scandinavia and the Middle & Far East. These buyers expect a package that offers both a reasonable price combined with a good potential yield. Thankfully, Portugal is still a major summer holiday destination (and golfing centre in the winter), so the right rental package should be quite feasible.
Unfortunately, I do come across agents and developers who feel that if Portugal were to cut its prices too much it would demean the overall 'product offering'. I think this is an elitist and self-serving attitude and they do need to realise what is happening in other similar markets, for example Florida, Spain, Turkey, Cyprus. Those markets are starting to flourish as similar steps have already been undertaken.
When I speak to investors around the world and I mention Portugal, there is some confusion over what Portugal has to offer. If there are ways to promote the country and get people to visit, to see what is available and why Portugal is different, then I genuinely feel that more sales are achievable. The right product is available, it just needs to be better packaged and promoted. Portugal is a wonderful country in which to purchase overseas property – which is why I go back again and again!

Islamic State is now the largest, most dangerous, global terrorist organization of modern times.
It has the power to wreak more havoc than 9/11, bring down more governments than the Arab Spring, sabotage more foreign economies than the debt crisis, and drive more flight capital to U.S. markets than the crisis in Greece or the conflict in Ukraine.
But when we first began warning about the global threats it posed, most experts said we were crazy.
Pentagon strategists insisted Islamic State (formerly ISIS or ISIL) was strictly a local organization with no ability or ambition to attack the West.
Whitehouse policy wonks were so preoccupied with Obamacare, the NSA spying scandal, and mid-term elections, they barely noticed.
And Wall Street "experts" were so exuberant with one of the longest bull markets in memory, Islamic State wasn't even on their radar.
Now, suddenly, Islamic State and its affiliates have burst onto the world scene with gale force.
Islamic State is creating chaos not only in Iraq and Syria, but also in Libya and Nigeria … not only in the Middle East and Africa, but also in Central Asia, Southeast Asia and even Europe … not only by deploying a propaganda machine aimed at lone-wolf copycats, but also by franchising its ideology, brand and tactics to pre-existing, well-established terrorist armies on three continents.
Slowly at first, but with growing momentum in recent months, the militant leaders of the largest or most radical Islamic terrorist groups in each country have come forward to formally vow their support or allegiance for Islamic State.
In the Philippines, Islamic State now has four separate terrorist organizations, including Abu Sayyaf, responsible for bombings, kidnappings, extortion, assassinations, rape, and child sexual assault since 1991.
In Pakistan, Islamic State's affiliate is Jundullah with 12,000 to 20,000 fighters.
This is the group that was responsible for the deadliest attack on the Christian minority in the history of the country — church bombings that killed 127 people and injured over 250 in 2013.
And it's also the same group that massacred at least 60 worshipers in a Shia mosque six weeks ago.
In India, Islamic State has Ansar al-Tawhid, which demands the overthrow of "Hindu supremacy."
In Egypt, Islamic State's affiliate is Jamaat Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, the largest militant group operating in the Sinai Peninsula. It's responsible for the bombing of gas pipelines from Egypt; multiple attacks on Eilat, Israel; the assassinations of top Egyptian officials; the beheading of alleged "spies" for Israel's Mossad, and the murder of American citizens.
In Libya, Islamic State has three terrorist groups, including Islamic State of Libya, which, just last month, kidnapped 21 innocent fishermen from Egypt, marched them down a beach near Tripoli, and beheaded them on video — for the sole reason that they were Coptic Christians.
Islamic State also has affiliates in Algeria, Tunisia, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and now …
The biggest and most brutal of all — Boko Haram in Nigeria, the organization best known for kidnapping, raping and selling into slavery 300 teenage school children in Nigeria last year.
Globally, Islamic State now has 34 terrorist affiliates, pledging their support or allegiance, adopting its unspeakably gruesome forms of violence, and seeking to create new "provinces" under the central leadership of its "caliph."
All have joined forces in a black horde that controls or threatens massive territories, stretching from Central Asia to the Western Sahara — a mad, gory, rampage against any and all "disbelievers," whether in their midst or in the West.
The Most Richly Funded
According to the U.S. State Department and Department of Homeland Security, Islamic State is the single best funded terrorist organization they've ever encountered.
Islamic State gets substantial donations from wealthy individuals and Islamic charities in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordon and Europe.
Islamic State has made at least $1 million per day from illicit oil sales and another $20 million per year from the "business" of kidnapping for ransom and selling sex slaves.
Islamic State also profits from robbing banks, looting antiquities, stealing livestock, seizing crops, and hijacking truck shipments.
It now has anywhere from 31,000 to 100,000 jihadists on its payroll. And despite some moderate setbacks in Iraq and Syria, it's continuing to grow by leaps and bounds.
Has this ever happened before?
Not to my knowledge.
Yes, Genghis Khan created history's largest-ever contiguous empire with a series of Eurasian invasions and conquests that often came with wholesale massacres of civilian populations.
But that was in a different world in a distant era, many centuries ago.
Yes, history has periodically witnessed the rise of brutal dictators or the spread of violent revolutions. But the pace of those events was measured in terms of years or even decades. The advances of Islamic State are taking place over a matter of months, even weeks.
Never before in history have we seen a movement that's so fast, so brutal, and so difficult to combat.
How can Islamic State be stopped?
Tricky question.
According to Foreign Affairs, the strategies that effectively worked against al-Qaeda wouldn't work against Islamic State.
Al-Qaeda never grew beyond isolated terrorist cells. Islamic State, in contrast, controls territory and, like the Taliban in Afghanistan, seeks to create a "pure" Sunni Islamist state governed by a brutal interpretation of sharia law.
Islamic State's goal is to instantly "obliterate the political borders of the Middle East that were created by Western powers in the twentieth century; and to position itself as the sole political, religious, and military authority over all of the world's Muslims."
Also unlike al-Qaeda, which rarely operates in the open, Islamic State fighters and leaders cluster in urban areas, where they're integrated into civilian populations, making drone strikes and raids much harder to carry out.
Perhaps most important, unlike al-Qaeda, killing Islamic State leaders does not cripple the organization. They're shielded and backed up by a functioning pseudo-state with a complex administrative structure.
Yet, despite all these challenges …
Last Fall, the Obama Administration enlisted the participation or support of more than three dozen allies to bomb Islamic State strongholds in Iraq and Syria. And for the last six months, they've pursued these campaigns relentlessly.
But now, even after more than 1,000 bombing raids since September 23, they've accomplished little and gone nowhere (except for the few situations when they've had the cooperation of local ground troops).
Last month, Egypt joined the fray, bombing Islamic State positions in Libya. But again, they've barely dented the Islamic State's advance.
And …
Just last week, U.S. Secretary of Defense Ash Carter said Washington's military campaign against Islamic State may extend to the terror group's affiliates in countries such as Libya and Nigeria.
He recognized that this is a global war, that the U.S. must fight it in multiple countries and that it's likely to get a lot larger before any semblance of closure can be expected.
What he and most Western authorities have failed to recognize is that, as we've seen repeatedly …
Any so-called "victories" merely plant
the seeds for the next major uprisings.
Just consider the recent history …
- On May 1, 2003, on board the USS Abraham Lincoln, President George Bush declared "mission accomplished" in Iraq. But that "victory" is what led to the emergence of the first-ever al-Qaeda affiliate in the country, something that never existed prior to the U.S. invasion.
- Eight years and seven months later, in Fort Bragg, President Barack Obama declared the end of the Iraq war. But it's that so-called "end" which cleared the way for Islamic State, an organization that barely existed before the U.S. withdrawal.
- And just last week, "Iraqi forces" declared victory over the Islamic State forces in Tikrit, the hometown of Saddam Hussein. But they were Iraqi forces in name only. In reality, they were Shia militias known for their own brutality and massacres, led by Iranian commanders, known for their own terrorist attacks on the West.
Now, in the wake of these battlefield "successes" …
What new jihadist groups will join Islamic State?
What new civil wars will the allies be dragged into?
It's abundantly evident that they cannot stand by and do nothing. But it's equally clear that every time the Western powers dive into the conflict, they stir up a hornet's nest of terrorism that spreads to the far corners of the planet.
This is a key reason why the global war on terror is ramping up rapidly, just as our Money and Markets editor Larry Edelson predicted a year and a half ago.
This is one of the big forces driving torrents of money from troubled regions of the world to the safest financial centers of the West, especially the United States.
This is another big factor behind the U.S. dollar's unprecedented, seemingly unstoppable, surge against the euro and virtually every other currency in the world.
And this is why you should stay on course, investing almost exclusively in the highest quality, most stable, most liquid, most promising dollar-denominated assets you can find — or we can find for you.
Tomorrow, Jon Markman will give you some examples.
On Wednesday, Larry will explain more specifically how to protect yourself and profit.
And in the weeks ahead, we will continue to do everything in our power to warn you of the next battles, help protect you from the dangers and point you toward the most prudent profit opportunities.
Good luck and God bless!
Errata: In my Money and Markets column of one week ago, the following paragraph about nuclear war had some incorrect facts. It should have been: "I hasten to add, however, that a nuclear conflict is far less likely today than at any time since August 6 and August 9, 1945 … when Colonel Paul Tibbets and Major Charles W. Sweeney piloted the Enola Gay and Bockscar, when they loaded the first and last of two atomic bombs ever used in warfare, and when they dropped them on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan."

State Rep. Lester Jackson on Tuesday proposed casino gambling in Savannah as an answer to fully funding trauma care in Georgia.
It proved to be the biggest bang during two political forums Tuesday night for candidates vying for seats in the Georgia General Assembly. The forums were sponsored by the Savannah Morning News and WSAV.
"I'm talking about introducing casino gambling to the area," Jackson said. "I know it's not really popular. But you have to look at the alternatives. Either we are going to pay more out of our pockets, or we can do something to attract the economic development in this community and also pay for trauma care."
Click here for the latest in local and national politics.
Jackson's idea at first took his opponents in the race for state Senate District 2 by surprise during Tuesday night's forum, but then they attacked. Bettye Anne Battiste said the idea would tempt people with gambling problems. Kevin Clark said there are other easier alternatives.
All three are running in the July 15 Democratic primary. Jackson is vacating his seat in the House of Representatives to run for the Senate.
Former Savannah-Chatham school board member Mickey Stephens and Clarence "Teddy" Williams are running for that vacated seat in the Democratic primary. They engaged in a lower-key forum Tuesday night.
At both forums, topics of most interest were better funding for trauma care and for education.
Neither race drew Republican opposition.

My name is Russell Dawson and I've been following the Paleo Diet for more than 15 months. It took me time to understand the whole concept of "eating like a caveman" and why it's supposed to be better for us. At the beginning, I was a little skeptical about giving up my dear pasta and bread. Anything that claims to "get you the body you've always dreamed of in seven days or less" is a bunch of baloney that I simply don't believe in. I had a hard time imagining what I would be eating that didn't include these two staples of my diet. Could I really survive on just the caveman diet? What is The Paleo Diet anyway?
The Paleo Diet is proposed as the solution for the health problems of the modern man, as our Paleolithic ancestors, aside from being killed young in battle or as a hunter, lived long, healthy lives. They were robust, strong, active, energetic, tough, and powerful. Therefore, it is proposed that modern man look back to the ways and diet of its Paleolithic ancestors and eat as they ate. Mankind has evolved for over 2 million years on the food found in nature. Meat, fish, vegetables, fruits and nuts. What impact would it have on our health as modern-day humans if we tried to eat exclusively like our ancestors? Would it really mean a leaner body and less illness?
Paleo Diet for Beginners will set you off on the right foot with this revolutionary diet and tell you about the benefits.

"Wrong narrator!"
The basic information is OK but it is SO difficult to get past the breathy perky voice of the reader that it makes it very hard to take this as any kind of science. I really don't understand the thinking here. She would do better with contemporary romance. For me it ruined this book and made it more like a cheesy infomercial.

Malvaux Number 1 Pocket Knife
It's like your familiar Swiss army knife, with a twist. Or rather, a bend. A single hand-polished stainless steel blade folds into the Malvaux Number 1 Pocket Knife and it's easier than before to open, without needing to put much strain on your fingernail. Actually it's got no fingernail groove at all and instead can be gripped between thumb and forefinger. Its innards that hold the non-locking blade in the open position are water-jet cut just like the blade itself and its shell is made of CNC-milled aluminum — and not plastic — that's also anodized in red (shown) or slate. And did we mention the bend also helps with grip?

protecting your insurance premiums, saving you money
Learning to park properly and safely is one of the essential skills of driving. If you cannot parallel park, then you face a long walk into busy town centres. Even simple parking needs to be done accurately. If you cannot park neatly in a single space at the supermarket then not only will you cause inconvenience for both yourself and other drivers, bit you will also put your car at risk of dents and dinks from other driver's doors as they struggle to squeeze in.
Yet learning to park is easy if you are prepared to put in the time and effort to figure out how to do it properly.
First, you need to understand the fundamentals of your vehicle, such as its length and width. For example, you need to learn where the back of your car is when you look in the mirror. This may be at the back edge of the boot or spoiler that you can see, or it may be a few inches beyond. Similarly, if your bonnet curves away from you, you need to learn where the front bumper actually stops.
Once you understand the dimensions of your vehicle, you need to familiarise yourself with how it handles, including things like clutch control, steering and brakes. To do this, take yourself to an empty car park and just practice driving and manoeuvring at low speeds.
Not to do the actual parking… but most driving schools offer extra parking lessons, where a professional instructor will teach you the techniques you need to parallel park safely and accurately. It normally only takes a lesson or two and its well worth the investment.

Ordnance Pamphlet 1303
The purpose or this publication is to provide to all Naval activities necessary information and operational characteristics of Navy synchros. G. E. would call it a SELSYN; to Kollsman its a TELETORQUE; the Bendix version is AUTOSYN; but in the Navy its a SYNCHRO. Since this booklet is directly concerned with The Navy Synchro, it will be called by the Navy name. The same general principles apply to all machines of this type regardless of what they're called.
The advantage of a Synchro system over any kind of a mechanical arrangement is that the two
shafts can be a long distance apart. The only connection needed between them is a few electrical
wires, and only a small amount of electrical power is required to operate the system. This makes it
possible to do many things that would be impossible or impractical with a purely mechanical system.

Consumers in the market for a compact multi-purpose vehicle, or MPV, should consider setting their sights on a Vauxhall Meriva. The Meriva has helped define the compact MPV car class in the new millennium by offering great performance and comfort in a practical family car. The car offers plenty of space for transporting people and a good deal of their cargo, and it is both fuel-efficient and reliable. Although this car appeals for its practicality, it also features eye-catching exterior designs that make the Vauxhall a stylish choice.
Besides a regular car showroom, eBay is one of the sources through which one can purchase a Vauxhall Meriva. In order to shop successfully on the website, consumers should know about the Vauxhall make and the Meriva model and be aware of the buying options that exist for this car. Consumers are well advised to also conduct research on both the car and the financing options, and get a few pointers about how to buy a Vauxhall Meriva on eBay. Consumers who are adequately prepared stand a better chance of finding the right Vauxhall Meriva for the right price.
Get to Know the Vauxhall Meriva
Those interested in buying a Vauxhall Meriva should learn about the Vauxhall make and the Meriva model. This kind of background information on the Vauxhall Meriva helps consumers shop for this car with confidence.
The Vauxhall Make
Vauxhall has been a leading British carmaker for over 100 years. The company started producing sporty vehicles in 1903 and expanded into roomier, more family-oriented cars in the 1930s. World War II saw Vauxhall focus its energy on producing tanks to support the British war effort, and the company returned to making sleek sports cars and spacious sedans for British drivers in the post-war years. Vauxhall kept pace with the emerging compact-car trend of the early 1990s, setting a class standard for performance with its 1993 Corsa. In recent years, Vauxhall has been producing well-received cars across all car classes.
Vauxhall has maintained a forward-thinking mentality throughout its history, anticipating industry trends and shifting nimbly along with consumers' tastes. Those who buy a Vauxhall therefore get a car that remains current well beyond its model year.
The Meriva Model
The Vauxhall Meriva is a practical, compact multipurpose vehicle that offers both unusual comfort and outstanding efficiency. The Meriva entered the United Kingdom market in late 2002 as a 2003 model. Little has changed with its overall look, as the Meriva has remained a compact hatchback since its inception. Vauxhall updated the model in 2006 by altering the front and rear ends, adding an option for a smaller diesel engine, and upgrading the two 1.6-litre petrol engine options. Vauxhall gave the Meriva another makeover in 2010, giving it a sleeker and slightly bigger exterior and a roomier and more feature-rich interior. Although the Meriva has gone through some alterations over the years, its reliability, efficiency, and good value have remained unchanged.
Explore Vauxhall Meriva Buying Options
Being familiar with the buying options is an important aspect of choosing a Vauxhall Meriva. Consumers can choose between new and used cars and decide on different features, such as car colour, fuel type, transmission, and interior components.
New vs. Used Vauxhall Meriva
The first decision facing those who want to buy a Vauxhall Meriva is whether to buy a new or a used vehicle. New Merivas generally last longer than used ones and come with enhanced features. They are, however, usually more expensive than used Merivas. Buying a used Vauxhall Meriva can be a bargain, but doing so can require negotiation skills. Consumers also need to either know how to evaluate a used Meriva or have someone available who does in order to ensure there are no major problems that the seller overlooked. The quality of a used Meriva also tends to vary a great deal more than in a new one. Despite these challenges, consumers can find high-quality used Merivas as long as they shop in the right market.
Features of a Vauxhall Meriva
A Vauxhall Meriva has many features that can influence consumers' decisions. Chief among these are the car's colour, fuel type, transmission, and interior details. A good overview of these Meriva features helps consumers decide which ones are important to them.
Although colour has little influence on how a car performs, it is still an important factor in consumers' decisions about whether or not to buy a particular car. Vauxhall has offered different colours for the Meriva over the years, so consumers have options. Black, blue, and silver are popular, sporty choices. A colour such as green can lend a Meriva a slightly more unconventional look that some drivers prefer.
Fuel Type
Vauxhall has offered the Meriva with a petrol engine or a diesel engine. The table below points out the pros and cons for each type.
Fuel Type
Lower upfront cost for car; lower price of fuel
Less efficient burning of fuel; lower resale value
More kilometres per litre burned; higher resale value
Higher upfront cost for car; higher price of fuel
Diesel-fuel engines tend to use fuel more efficiently, though petrol-fuel engines are rapidly closing what was a very large gap between the two. The benefit of improved fuel efficiency for diesel engines also drops rapidly for drivers who habitually use their cars for short journeys of a few kilometres.
Vauxhall has offered the Meriva with either a manual transmission or an automatic one, though the former is more common in the UK. Automatic transmissions are easier to operate because they change gears on their own. Manual transmissions require control from the driver, but they offer improved fuel efficiency and acceleration.
The interior features of cars have changed a great deal as new technologies have become more common. The more recent a Vauxhall Meriva is, the more likely it is to include details such as a navigation system and Bluetooth. Consumers should also pay attention to whether or not seats, locks, mirrors, and windows are manually or electrically adjustable. It is also possible to add certain interior features, such as a navigation system, if a particular Meriva does not already have them.
Research into the Vauxhall Meriva
Once consumers are familiar with the buying options for a Vauxhall Meriva, they should conduct further research. Reading reviews, finding sellers, and seeking financing all help consumers realise the goal of owning the ideal Vauxhall Meriva.
Read Reviews
There are many sources for car reviews, and many of them are easily accessible on the Internet. Consumers can find out what car experts and Vauxhall Meriva owners have to say about particular editions of the cars. They can then use this information to make accurate valuations on certain Merivas and successfully negotiate to purchase them.
Find Sellers
A consumer's satisfaction with a Vauxhall Meriva has a great deal to with where it was purchased. Finding reputable sellers is an important part of buying a Meriva because consumers should know what to expect when they make such a significant investment. This is especially true when it comes to buying a used Meriva since the quality of used cars can vary a great deal. Consumers can search locally for reputable dealership or visit well-known online used car markets.
Seek Financing
Some consumers may be able to purchase a Vauxhall Meriva outright, while others may require financial assistance. Many banks offer loans to help customers purchase cars, and interest rates can be reasonable. Consumers who want financing to purchase Vauxhall Meriva should shop around to find favourable interest rates.
How to Buy a Vauxhall Meriva on eBay
In addition to buying a Vauxhall Meriva from a Vauxhall dealership and a pre-owned car lot, you can find a large selection of Vauxhall Merivas on eBay. It is easy to search the site for the right Vauxhall Meriva for you and to find a local seller to buy from.
Searching for a Vauxhall Meriva
You can search for a Vauxhall Meriva from any eBay page with the search bar or from the eBay Motors page. Enter "Vauxhall Meriva" into the search bar and choose the category reserved for cars. You can then select options for colour, fuel type, and transmission in order to trim the listings to just those Merivas that meet your specifications.
Finding Local Sellers
Although some buyers are willing to travel across the UK to find the right Meriva, you may prefer to keep your search local. You can use eBay to find local sellers of Vauxhall Merivas by specifying the distance from your postcode within which sellers should be located. eBay then filters results so that you do not have to travel far to meet sellers and see the Merivas they are offering.
The Vauxhall Meriva is one of the leading compact MPVs because it offers good driving performance, a large amount of space, and excellent reliability relative to other cars in its class. These benefits have helped make the Meriva one of Vauxhall's more popular models among consumers. Those looking to buy a Vauxhall Meriva can easily find models that have been on the road for more than decade and still perform well.
Although a Meriva is a relatively safe purchase, consumers can benefit from some preparation as part of the buying process. Learning about the make and model helps consumers realise that the manufacturer and this particular car model have sterling reputations for quality. Exploring the buying options for a Meriva enables consumers to choose the options that are important to them. Performing research, including reading reviews, finding sellers, and seeking financing can help consumers make good purchasing decisions and achieve their goals of owning a Vauxhall Meriva. With knowledge about how to use eBay effectively, one can successfully find a bargain on Vauxhall Meriva on the website. As long as consumers do their homework, they should have no trouble finding the right Vauxhall Meriva for the right price.

Babcock University
Review for Medical Bridges Inc, Houston, TX, USA
Medical Bridges actually made the critical difference in adequately equipping the newly established Babcock University Teaching Hospital, Ilishan-Remo, Nigeria in her efforts at raising the healthcare standards in the country and entire West African sub-region. MB gives personalized service tailored to meet your real needs rather than just throw things at you which are neither needed nor serviceable. They follow up on their shipments and demand strict accountability. We received twenty (20) forty-foot containers of top grade equipment within a twelve month period and they are extending this to other sister institutions in South America and Asia.
