The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has said that the Federal Government denies about 80 per cent (about 128 million) of Nigerians their social and economic rights, as it fails to provide the required infrastructure for the people.
It said the situation was worsened by the inability of the people to sue government for its failure to provide adequate infrastructure for their well-being.
The Executive Director, SERAP, Mr. Adetokunbo Mumuni, in an interview with our correspondent, called on the government to use funds and property forfeited or retrieved from public officials convicted of corruption to provide social amenities for the citizenry.
He said, "While maximum punishment, which involves the killing of corrupt officials is not popular, the recovery of loots from corrupt public officials, aside their trial, conviction and forfeiture of the property they acquired illegally, is necessary. These loots could be used to provide infrastructure to the benefit of the public.
Mumuni explained that socio-economic rights included right to food, health care, education, water and other infrastructure. He added that the people should be empowered to make the government provide these facilities through legal means.
He said, "If we look at the situation in the country, about 20 per cent of Nigerians live below poverty line; this means that about 80 per cent of them live on less than one dollar daily. Nigeria's socio-economic rights protection is next to nothing; it is at the lowest level.
"There should be an amendment of Chapter Four of the constitution to make it possible for people to sue the government for failing to protect their socio-economic rights. The amendment will equate the socio-economic rights with the civil and political rights, which have been placed higher.
"Nigerians should form the habit of putting the government on its toes; calling for their rights and asking questions about how they are governed. When election times come, they can vote out any government which failed to protect these rights."

In search of a simpler life, a young couple returns home to Alabama where they set out to eat the way their grandparents did – locally and seasonally. But as they navigate the agro-industrial gastronomical complex, they soon realize that nearly everything about the food system has changed since farmers once populated their family histories. A thoughtful and often funny essay on community, the South and sustainability, "Eating Alabama" is a story about why food matters.

Bargain Rack Buy: Barrick Gold Corp. (NYSE: ABX)
Barrick Gold is the biggest name in the business, but right now it's resting on the bargain rack.
The stock just about doubled to start the year as gold prices posted a tremendous rally. However, over the past three months, it's lost about a fifth of its value.
It could fall further, too. Conventional wisdom has the Fed raising rates by the end of the year. Hence the retrenchment in gold and gold miners.
That's just a short-term blip, though.
You may recall that a few weeks ago I made the point that once the Fed does eventually raise rates, it's likely to allow for a considerable cooling period. That period is likely to yield a rebound similar to the one we saw in the first half of 2016.
Heck, even if it doesn't, Barrick is poised to profit thanks to its low costs.
Indeed, what I like about Barrick is how much it's achieved over the past year in terms of cutting its costs and reducing its debt. This has increased profit shored up on the company's balance sheet.
Take a look at Wednesday's earnings report, and you'll see what I mean…
Barrick reported a $175 million profit, or 15 cents a share, compared with a year-earlier loss of $264 million, or 23 cents a share. Excluding impairments and other items, profit rose to 24 cents a share from 11 cents a share a year earlier.
The company upped its 2016 production forecast as well. Barrick now expects to produce 5.25 million ounces to 5.55 million ounces of gold, up from 5 million and 5.5 million ounces.
At the same time, the company has lowered its costs.
Barrick now estimates all-in sustaining costs (AISC) at $740 to $775 per ounce, down from a previous target of $750-$790. And it's aiming for AISC of $700 per ounce or lower by 2019.
Barrick's AISC are now in the 40th percentile on the cost curve, compared to some of its largest peers. And the company's core mines sit at around the 15th percentile, with costs around $660 an ounce. Both of those positions stand to improve over the next few years.
Capital spending for 2016 is also forecast lower. It's now $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion, down from $1.25-$1.4 billion in the second quarter.
Debt has been reduced by $1.4 billion year-to-date and the company said it is on track to meet its 2016 reduction target of $2 billion. Barrick ended the quarter with $2.65 billion in cash and $8.54 billion in debt. In three to five years, it wants to cut that burden to less than $5 billion.

It isn't all strawberries and cream, of course.
Barrick shed assets to reach this new level of efficiency. That's led to a steep drop in production, which totaled more than 6 million ounces in 2015. Third-quarter production shrank 17% to 1.4 million ounces.
Revenue dipped to $2.3 billion from $2.32 billion, while free cash flow fell to $674 million from $866 million.
Barrick also cut its 2016 production forecast for its Veladero mine in Argentina to 530,000 to 580,000 ounces of gold, from 580,000 to 640,000 ounces, citing severe weather and a three-week suspension. (Veladero operations were suspended in September after falling ice damaged a pipe and some cyanide-laced ore spilled over a barrier.)
There is good news on that front, however. China's Zijin Mining Group and Shandong Gold Mining have reportedly held separate talks with Barrick to buy a 50% stake in Veladero. The talks come after Barrick and Zijin formed a strategic partnership to develop a Papua New Guinea project in 2015.
Veladero is one of Barrick's five core mines and there is no certainty that the talks will result in a transaction. But if the companies were to strike a deal, a 50% stake could fetch more than $1 billion from a potential suitor.
According to Reuters, Barrick would like the buyer of the Veladero stake to also make an investment in its Pascua-Lama project in South America. That gold and silver project was put on hold in 2013 due to environmental issues, political opposition, labor unrest, and development costs that ballooned to $8.5 billion.
All in all, Barrick is in a strong position. Its costs, debt, and output are all headed in the right direction. And the company is stable enough to withstand the kind of volatility we continue to see in gold prices.
Maybe that's why George Soros recently dropped $264 million into Barrick.
On the other hand, if you want to take a larger stake in a smaller company there's an opportunity to do that as well.
Our own Nick Hodge recently scored a deal with an up-and-coming gold company that has yet to list on an exchange. You can get in privately, before the public, right now if you'd like. The details on this limited time offer can be found here.

Four European firms have merged under the new brand name Marccus and will make up a multidisciplinary practice of more than 100 lawyers and 30 tax advisers, focussing on M&A, tax, real estate and financing.
Germany's Hemmelrath & Partner, France's François Sagasser & Associés, Italy's Albertazzi & Associés and Spain's Mazars y Associados make up the alliance of firms, managed by Antonio Bover and Bernd Sagasser.
Marccus partner Christoph Maurer told The Lawyer: "We do want to be ambitious and will surely grow in several markets with quality hires."
Maurer said this may include entering other jurisdictions in future, including the US.
The firms are the preferred suppliers for the Mazars Group, the largest auditing company in France, and a lot of the French and Spanish work derives directly from this association.
The merger was stalled by legal wranglings over the name Arccus, the alliance's original choice, which German firm Arqis claimed would cause confusion with its brand. Arqis obtained an injunction preventing the use of Arccus and the alliance eventually settled on Marccus.
However, the German and Italian legacy firms are likely to retain their original names next to Marccus, reported German magazine Juve.

Loop 820 Found To Be "Highway From Hell"
By Tim Rogers Published in FrontBurner May 30, 2012 9:54 am
The Daily Beast did a bunch of fancy calculations to find out which are the lousiest stretches of highway in the country. Good news! We've got a stretch of road that landed at No. 5 on the list! Here's the most interesting part of the report, though: "Somewhat surprisingly, the INRIX report shows a 30 percent drop in traffic across the country over the past year. The reasons, according to INRIX's Jim Bak, include rising fuel prices, relatively few jobs created in urban areas, and the completion of stimulus projects resulting in less road construction."

Well, last night I got over my worries and just posted some music. At the moment I feel like I'm working with a huge learning curve, but I'm loving the knowlege that I am gaining. Currently, I've decided to just throw myself in and actually invest on some equipment to make more music. It's something I've never really done but life is too short and I feel like if I continue to just work and not acknowlege my want to create music, then I will go mad. So here is to the future!!! I plan on posting more music and for those that take the time to check out my latest upload, thanks much and I hope you enjoy. Positive vibes to you all and hope your day is well:)
I never realized how much I would miss it when I couldn't make my own beats and create my own sounds. Life is funny that way. Tthe sounds, rythms and calling of music has always been there. I don't know what to consider myself yet, I have not felt like I could consider myself an artist. One thing I do love though, is also helping others who are doing thier own projects, audio and video editing, I love doing it and wonder why I never stuck with it.
I guess, I had to become an "adult" get a school, job, life fuck-ups parties and good ol' mistakes with awesome friends to go along through it with you. It's been a long time since I've actually put effort into this thing instead of dabbling. I wonder where this road will take me but very interested to find out. This is an old account I've had for a long time but I've added my soundcloud to my stats so you can check out the new releases under my account there. I will also keep this updated as well, newgrounds what the first place I've ever released anything and I will still do so here :)

This Technical Information Release (TIR) discusses how this new provision applies to capital loss carryover deductions that first arose under § 2(c)(2) before the 1986 amendment. It explains how the elimination of the five-year maximum on carryover losses applies to pre-existing losses. It also explains how a taxpayer offsets current net long-term and short-term capital gains with capital loss carryover deductions from previous years.
Under the new provision, long-term and short-term capital loss carryover deductions have a lifespan determined by their amount, not by their age. Chapter 488 of St. 1986 does not limit this provision to newly-created capital loss carryover deductions. As a result, if a taxpayer carries over a capital loss deduction from previous tax years into the tax year beginning on or after January 1, 1987, the taxpayer may continue to use that capital loss deduction in succeeding tax years until none is left to use as an offset. Carryover deductions that would have expired under the old provision in the tax year beginning on or after January 1, 1987 ( i.e., 1987 would have been their fifth carryover year) may now be used in succeeding tax years, until they are extinguished, just as a deduction from a loss first reported in the tax year beginning on or after January 1, 1987 may. The new provision, however, will not revive carryover losses that expired before the tax year beginning on or after January 1, 1987.
Under new § 2(c)(2), a taxpayer may offset long-term gains only with long-term losses (including any long-term carryover losses from previous years) and short-term gains only with short-term losses (including any short-term carryover losses from previous years). Before 1987 taxpayers did not classify capital gains as long-term or short-term in order to offset capital gains. Some taxpayers will have records to classify a pre-1987 carryover loss as long-term or short-term or divide it into a long-term portion and a short-term portion. A taxpayer who can so classify a pre-1987 carryover loss should do so, supporting the classification with the Schedules D from the applicable previous tax years. The taxpayer should then apply the newly-classified loss (or losses) to current gains as provided under new § 2(c)(2). Other taxpayers may not be able to determine whether a carryover loss from previous tax years is long-term or short-term. Such taxpayers must use their pre-1987 capital carryover losses first to offset current net long-term capital gains and then, if any of the carryover loss remains, to offset current net short-term capital gains.

Premise: Ten finalists put their design skills to the ultimate test in the eighth season of this popular competition, which is now titled ``HGTV Star.'' Another change to the series occurs at the judging table, where Sabrina Soto joins holdovers Vern Yip and Genevieve Gorder to evaluate the challengers' work that includes transformations in real homes and at college campuses and exotic locations. One person is eliminated per episode until an ``HGTV Star'' is found, who wins his or her own show on the network. The finalists not only must demonstrate creativity and originality, but they are also given on-camera skills tests in each challenge, including during an appearance on the CBS daytime series ``The Talk.''

Teenager gunned down in 'targeted attack'
A MANHUNT has been launched after a teenager was shot dead, in what police say was a "targeted attack."
Police have cordoned off the scene of the crime
Kevin Wilson, 17, originally from Scotland, was gunned down in at the junction of Smithdown Road and Holmes Street in Liverpool at around 8.30pm yesterday.
Officers performed CPR on Mr Wilson, who had been shot in the back, until paramedics arrived, but he was pronounced dead at hospital.
Merseyside Police are continuing to hunt for the gunmen.
We would like to reassure the local community that we believe this was a targeted attack and that incidents of this nature are still rare
Smithdown Road has been cordoned off while forensic examinations are carried out. Police said cordons were expected to be in place for a number of days.
Superintendent Jenny Sims said: "We would like to reassure the local community that we believe this was a targeted attack and that incidents of this nature are still rare.
"High visibility patrols have been increased in the area and officers will be speaking with local residents to help reassure the local community."
A post mortem will be carried out to establish the cause of death.

- See more here à http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalcy_bias)
- Glenn discussed how some of the people in the World Trade Center buildings reacted after the airplanes struck the building. Some wanted to go back to their offices to turn off their computer, or pick up their coat, etc.
Coordinated Demonstrations
- Glenn showed a split screen view of several union demonstrations from different countries around the world.
- They were demonstrating against capitalism and the western way of life.
- He discussed the Madison, WI rally and noted the large number of young people.
- Lenin, he said, had a term for them – useful idiots.
- Glenn said that when other media outlets criticize him for pointing out all the communist and socialist signage, etc, they don't refute the claim, they call him crazy.
Excerpts from Socialists in Support
- From the Socialist Party USA; "Democracy in the Streets: Madison Mobilizes to Defeat the Anti-Labor Walker."
- From Solidarity; "Statement from Wisconsin; Solidarity; We Can, We Must, We Will."
- From the Democratic Socialists of America; "Emergency WI Solidarity Rally"
- These organizations are coordinating. They are socialists, communists, radicals, and unions.
- If you are in a union, your union is working with socialists and communists.
- From the Socialist Worker On-Line; "How we are deepening the Egyptian Revolution."
- He went on to show other socialist web sites and papers.
- Following that he showed this from Sam Web, the Head of the Communist Party USA…
"The battle in Wisconsin electrified (for good reasons) this whole country. But the counteroffensive is not just Wisconsin. It is national in scope, diverse in form, creative in tactics, and united in action. This nationwide tapestry of struggle is multi-threaded, woven in varied patterns, loops and colors."
- Glenn asks why there are no hearings in Washington? It is not just here in the U.S. It is global in scope. He then held up a collection of letters from unions from all over the world saying the same message, the same way.
- He then played an audio clip of Francis Fox Piven on Revolution…
- Piven: "Look at Egypt. Look at the protests in England…and to Bahrain and perhaps Libya…I think we may see a series of protest movements in the U.S."
- Host: "Would you think, Francis, that the movement could be led with these students?"
- Piven: "I think it could happen. I hope it will happen."
- The goal of these revolutions is the overthrow of their governments.
- The unions want the same thing here.
- On the screen behind Glenn was presented a list of a number of unions and organizations in countries around the world pledging solidarity with the union efforts in Madison, WI.
Overview Recap – This is what is going on.
Part 1 The radical Islamists/communists/ socialists will
· Work together against Israel.
· Work together against capitalism.
· Work together to overturn stability.
Part 2 is next. It is The Protests Become Contagious
· They cascade
· They sweep the Middle East
· They begin to destabilize Europe and the rest of the world.
- He then showed a video of one rally where the signs read, "Eat the Rich" and "Eat their Brains". There were children at that rally and many of them were made up to look like zombies, complete with blood dripping down their chins onto their chests.
Collective Bargaining
- FDR was against collective bargaining for government workers.
- Even the head of the AFL-CIO in 1955 came out against it saying it was "impossible to collectively bargain with the government."
Hijacking History
- Glenn encouraged everyone to become educated on this history of the country. He said that history was being hijacked.
- He recapped Bill Ayres history…
- Bombings
- People were killed in an armed robbery.
- Glenn showed a video of an FBI informant discussing the Weather Underground's plan for post-revolution re-education camps and the willingness to kill 25 million people that they estimated would not convert to their ideology.
- Glenn then showed union letters to the businesses in Madison, relative to the signs the unions wanted the business to display.
"Failure to do so will leave us no choice but to do a public boycott of your business. And sorry, neutral means 'no' to those who work for the largest employer in the area and are union members."
- Glenn asks if this sounds like love or is more like a threat.
Some Union History
1877 – B&L railroad workers went on strike. Their wages had been cut twice. The state militia was called, but they sided with the workers and didn't do anything. Protests spread to several states. Protesters took control of several cities, destroying property. Ultimately, federal troops were sent in.
The New York Times reported "Anarchy in Italy: Many are Killed: Warships Ready". This uprising ended in Mussolini taking control.
It all starts with intimidation. In Wisconsin, unions are saying that the states are not broke. The states have the money.
- In California, they need a 20% return on their investments just to make ends meet. Who can get that? That's Bernie Madoff territory. Does that make sense?
- Florida's budget assumed a 7% return, but over the last decade they actually received 2.6%.
- Glenn referred back to Stephen Lerner's Economic Terrorism plan to collapse the stock market. He pointed out that the pension funds of unions and government workers are invested in the stock market and wonders how that will work out.
Van Jones
Glenn discussed the 9/11 attacks and how most people drew together the next day. Then he showed a video of Van Jones speaking at a rally on September 12th, the day after the attack. In part, this is what Van Jones had to say.
"We want to also understand though, that their lives were lost because of our government's inhumane foreign policy. And, we should be angry and we should be ****ed off at what our country does around the rest of the world that leads us not to be safe here."
"It's the bombs that the government has been dropping around the world that are now blowing up inside U.S. borders. We have something stronger than bombs. We have solidarity."
Glenn suggests people be careful where you stand. Like his mother used to tell him "Show me your friends and I'll show you your future." Union members, decide who you want to stand with. This will be the summer of revolution.
Fight Back USA! Teach In
- The Teach In was held today with 269 campuses across the U.S. participating.
- From William Paterson University was this…
"Employee unions to unite and take back the statehouse…we must fight against all assaults on the public good."
- Fight Back was billed as a "60s style teach-in meets the digital age in live stream webcast."
- The stars of the Teach In were Francis Fox Piven, Cornell West and Richard Trumpka, President of the AFL-CIO union.
- Key National Groups Associated with the Teach In
- American Federation of Teachers
- National Education Association
- Many, many others.
- Many of these are financed by George Soros.
Tree of Corporate Destruction
Glenn held up a drawing of the "Tree of Corporate Destruction" that looked similar to his "Tree of Revolution" he developed several months ago.
He showed an old 60s picture of Francis Fox Piven taken at Columbia University. In the picture, she is climbing up the side of a building and being helped by a student, Tom Haden.
- Tom Haden started the 60s radical group, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) in 1961.
- Recently, Tom wrote an article for the left wing magazine The Nation "Samantha Power Goes to War (March 30, 2011)
"Over a long conversation with Power in December 2003, I was struck by the generational factor in her thinking. If she had experienced Vietnam in her early twenties, I felt she would have joined the radical left, suspicious always of American power. She began to see war as an instrument to achieve her liberal, even radical values."
- Glenn notes that she is the White House advisor on Human Rights and has Obama's ear. Now we don't have war for oil, we have war for radical values.
- Glenn discussed some of the radicals around President Obama and others like Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn helping to organize the "Freedom Flotilla" set to sail to Gaza in May.
"Disconnected" Events
- He also discussed other "completely disconnected" events such as…
- Starting a 3rd war in a Muslim country.
- Keeping Gitmo open even though he claimed it was inflaming the Muslim world
- Calling for the youth of the Middle East to rise up and then ignoring the rising up in Iran.
- Lastly he discussed five Christians arrested in Iran for blasphemy.
- Their crime was to hold church in their homes.
- They have been in jail for a year already.
- Their trial starts today or tomorrow.

No, i don't agree. No ISV should feel that "every dependacy has been included in the LSB" The LSB should be a base for self contained binaries, maybe, but not an all enclusive list of common dependancies. Dependancy handling is a matter of package installation accounting. This may be outlined by the LSB.... /var/pkg? Dunno, but it's an accounting issue. > The potentail parties that would benifit from the LSB would write 9 out of > 10 applications that will be larger and graphical oriented. So excluding X > from the LSB spec would make the objective defined above nearly > impossible or unusable and therefor a waste of time. Again, no. It's not a waste of time to say "Look to see if package X is installed by checking /var/pkg/whatever files." That's the structure that may need defining. That is something the LSB can do. Making X a base application because it's "a common depencancy" is not going to solve the problem any more than simply laying out a standard for tracking packages. Adding X just adds to the bloat of the base. It opens the door too much for "Well, almost everything now uses KDE or GNOME, that should be base too" etc etc etc... Don't go there. Just say no. This is your brain.. This is your brain on X... ... uh.. wait... I still don't see why X should be "base" because it's commonly used, when at best it can be discribed as "middleware."

I am so glad you are going to Ronda! The old section (across Puente Nuevo from train or bus station) has got incredible vistas over the gorges, history and peaceful plazas. Loved, loved it! Read Hemmingway's "For whom the bell tolls"--Ronda is the setting for the most memorable event of this book about the Spanish civil war. Are you getting a driver? I think it is a bit of a trip from Malaga. Malaga doesn't have much personality, IMO, but you can decide. I much preferred Granada. Stay in the old Jewish quarter for the most interesting sights. Seville is also super cool, with so much amazing history. Again, stay in the old jewish quarter, Barrio Santa Cruz. you can walk the twisty, narrow streets and find great little spots to eat. We enjoyed the Murillo Gardens, walking the old Moorish ramp up to the top of the Cathedral, with periodic views out. Cordoba is an easy day trip on the Fast Train. another cool city. Spain is really amazing if you are a history buff at all....

We preferred Sevilla as a base-great walking city-lots of fountains and cafes. Malaga struck us as just a bit more "disconnected" in terms of walking-but the advantage there of course is the sea.
We also loved Granada but be aware it is hilly so you may need more bus transport there-but it has a very young student vibe which is nice and means there are many "cheap eats" kind of places.
Honestly I don't think you can go wrong with any of them-it just depends on what you like most.

You will love Andalucia. If your Gibraltar friend is flexible, it wolud make much more sense to visit Gib and Ronda en route to Sevilla. Makes no sense to keep doubling back to Malaga.

Thanks a lot for all the comments and suggestions; we have adapted the itinerary a bit:
Friday 4th: Arrival to Malaga and drive to Granada
- Friday night: Night visit to the Alhambra
Saturday 5th: Alhambra
Sunday 6th: Drive from Granada to Sevilla, passing through Cordoba and visiting La Mezquita
Monday - Thursday: Sevilla
Thursday: Drive through the Pueblos Blancos to Ronda, where we will spend the night
Friday: Drive to Malaga and airport
We will rent a car to go from Malaga to Granada until we get to Sevilla where will drop it off and will rent another one to get back to Malaga.
What do you think?

Try to get to Ronda before the sunset--people gather at a park overlook and it is wonderful. Shame you will miss Malaga but this sounds like a much better pace. I liked Malaga for relaxation, but the other places you visit hold the highlights.

All of the shell beans listed here are available dried and canned as well as fresh.
Chinese Long Bean
Also called yard-long bean. Very long, rounded green pod bean used in Asian cooking and sold primarily in Asian markets, generally displayed bundled into loose skeins.
Cranberry Bean
Also called Borlotti bean or Roman bean. Although usually sold dried, the cranberry bean, a favorite of Italian-American cooks, is available as a fresh shell bean in some markets. The pod and inner seed should be the color of cream with a good representation of red speckles.
Fava Bean
Also called broad bean, English bean or horse bean. This shell bean is available fresh briefly in the spring in farmers' markets. Look for soft, pale green pods packed with pale green beans that resemble lima beans. They have a pleasingly bitter flavor.
Once removed from the pods, the beans should be peeled of their tough outer skin, which is slightly toxic, more so late in the season. To remove it, blanch the shelled beans in boiling water for 1 minute, let cool, then pinch the beans to remove the skin.
If the beans are young and fresh and no bigger than your thumbnail, skinning them may not be necessary, although some cooks find that even the skins of young beans impart too much bitterness. Fava beans are also sold dried.
Small, flavorful, pale green or white shell bean used in traditional French cooking. Flageolets are also sold canned and dried. The fresh beans can be difficult to find in the United States.
Green Bean
Also called snap bean, string bean or runner bean. Green beans are eaten whole, pod and seeds, and taste mild and fresh with grassy overtones. The most familiar green bean is several inches long with a rounded pod. Buy ones that are evenly green and look as though they will snap decisively when broken. To prepare green beans, simply snap off the stem end and remove any strings along the length of the bean.
Haricot Vert
Also called French green bean or filet bean. Small, slender, dark green, young pod beans favored in France. Delicately flavored, they are more elegant, and commensurately more expensive, than other green beans.
Lima Bean
Also called a butter bean, the lima grows in wide, flat green inedible pods. Small beans are called baby limas. Look for green, velvety pods. The inner seed, the sweet-tasting edible portion, should be as green as possible. Avoid any with a white cast. Fresh lima beans may be difficult to find in some regional markets, while dried, canned and especially frozen ones are commonly available.
Romano Bean
Also called Italian bean. A green pod bean that is similar to a green bean, but with a slightly broader and more flattened pod and a somewhat more robust flavor and texture.
Wax Bean
This is a green bean that is yellow rather than green. It has the same other characteristics as the green bean.

The Essence of Logic
John Kelly
Editura: Prentice Hall
The Prentice Hall Essence of Computing Series provides a concise, practical and uniform introduction to the core components of an undergraduate computer science degree. Acknowledging recent changes within Higher Education, this approach uses a variety of pedagogical tools, case studies, worked examples and self-test questions to underpin the students's learning.This book is a concise introduction to formal logic. Written for undergraduates, it makes no excessive demands on previous mathematical knowledge, requiring little maturity in mathematical thinking. The main objective of the book is in preparing the reader for the analysis and application of techniques of logic in computing. A wide range of topics in mathematical logic are covered with each new idea introduced in a gentle, yet brisk fashion which quickly leads to the development of important skills.Beginning with the Truth Tables, the reader is introduced to the concepts of Boolean Algebra and thus logical propositions and truth values. Propositional Logic is explored through the use of the methods of Semantic Tableaux, Natural Deduction and the Sequent Calculus. More formal Axiomatic systems are examined and illustrated with some important theorems about such systems. Properties of soundness. completeness and consistency are explained in terms of Propositional systems. Resolution is presented for Propositional Logic in preparation for an understanding of its use in computer science. The book then turns to the First Order Predicate Logic, revising the now familiar topics of deduction and semantic tableaux, as well as soundness completeness and consistency. Resolution is re-examined and the application of First Order Predicate Logic in computing is investigated.

Shocked and appalled; that is what I am, by what appears from my admittedly partisan perspective to be editorial bias in a post by one of BlogHer's editors. It is one thing when a simple old BlogHer blogger posts something partisan. That is fine, but when someone who has the phrase "managing editor" under her picture by a blog post engages in op ed commentary, then, well, that is a horse of a different color. At least in my book it is. Editors are gatekeepers and are partially supposed to keep people like me in check. I'm the one who is supposed to say ridiculous things and use blogging tricks to get readers.
What am I talking about?
Julie Ross Godar is the Section Editor of the News and Politics Section here on BlogHer. She wrote the post So Not OK: MSNBC's Ed Schultz Calls Laura Ingraham a "Right-Wing ...." (I took out the offensive word. I don't want to see it and certainly don't want to key it in.) I have to admit the post title alone raised my hackles. I know how to write from a partisan perspective and I do it all the time on Build Peace. I make no bones about it.
There are many titles that Godar could have been placed on her post. I know how a title can capture an audience long after its post is no longer pertinent. I still get more hits for blog posts I wish I could retitle than for other far more thoughtful posts. I once, way back in 2005, titled a post by letting the first line of the post accidentally become the title by not creating a title. When I found out you could do this, accidentially, I did use the technique occasionally. "Kathleen XXXXXX Sucks" was the accidental title. The first sentence of the blog was "Kathleen XXXXXX sucks resources out of the mouths of Ward III's children." I learned a lot from that title. I regret it. My excuse was that I was young and blogging as a field was still not as established as it now is. I wasn't as established as I am now.
When experienced bloggers and editors choose to use incendiary phrases in titles, I believe they do it for a reason. Editor Godar surely knew that using the phrase she protested someone else using, is a tactic. Quite frankly I expect more out of BlogHer editors. Sure we know the political persuasion of editors. Knowing it and seeing that perspective promoted is something else.
Please allow me to analyze a bit further.
Godar uses the phrase, "Left-wing pundit Ed Schultz" and links to a wikipedia article. She uses the phrase "right-wing talk show host Laura Ingraham" and links to her business website. Pundit and host are not equal value words. A wikipedia link and a .com link are not equal value links.
And further: Godar's video link from Mediaite shows an embed link that is functional. I usually take out such things unless I'm trying to make something go viral.
The only Fox bashing I've seen on this site is from bloggers - why no editors lambasting say "baby mama" references on Fox? See: Fox News' Appalling Smear--Every Woman Should Be Offended Lisa did comment on this one way back in '08 but she did not pen the original article. I "called" Jill on supporting this post and adding a link to it, but I think she was within bounds, though at the edge.
Even further:Godar goes on to say, "I think both of Schultz' employers should fire him." Hmmm. Does she think Rush Limbaugh should be fired for racist and misogynist statements, such as shown here? I have to admit that I am totally perplexed by Julie's post. I expect more from any and all BlogHer editors. Am I expecting too much? I hope no one -- not a single person out of the four who will read this. :-) -- takes this as an attack on Julie it isn't. I am just puzzled by this seeming slip. I hope that in the future BlogHer editors will refrain from using their editorial status to distribute their political takes on situations. There needs to be some sort of disclaimer made when original posts are made by editors outside of their editorial duties. Thanks for letting me vent. Long live BlogHer!

Director of the Clinical Center, Zoran Radovanovic, said that he, in agreement with the organization, sent them a list of what materials would benefit the hospital. "This the end of an action which we worked on more than a year and a half, and the value of materials and equipment, although the official declaration says $400,000, would be more than EUR 500,000 on the domestic market. We got needles, scissors and the like, in an amount that will settle our compelling needs for several months. This is one of the largest donations in Serbia," said Radovanovic. FULL STORY

User review on Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Stingray written by Sarvesh on 29 November 2014
Sarvesh's review on Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Stingray VXI Optional
Year of Manufacture : 2013 | Driven no. of Kms. : 7500
- Pros: efficieny, looks, features
- Cons: Boot space, driver height seat adjustment should be present
A totally worth car of your money with features like xenon headlamps, steering mounted audio controls, ABS, futuristic styling. Interiors could have bin a bit better but the present piano finish adds a nice classy touch. Very comfortable for a family car. The engine is the same as alto and astar and is trusted. Mileage is also very good around 19 kmpl in city and nice stability at speed of 110kmph. Definitely a nice car if you have a budget of approx 5 lacs. Only thing to be improved is a bit more boot space and driver seat height adjustment should have been there.

Original paper
Zeolites and zeolitization of acid pyroclastic rocks from paroxysmal Paleogene volcanism, Eastern Rhodopes, Bulgaria
Yanev, Y.; Cochemé, J.J.; Ivanova, R.; Grauby, O.; Burlet, E.; Pravchanska, R.
Neues Jahrbuch für Mineralogie - Abhandlungen Band 182 Heft 3 (2006), p. 265 - 283
published: Aug 18, 2006
ArtNo. ESP154018203005, Price: 29.00 €
An extensive bimodal volcanic suite developed in the Late Paleogene in the Eastern Rhodopes Mountains, Southern Bulgaria. Most of the widespread and thick rhyolitic tuffs and ignimbrites, erupted during two major Early Oligocene acid phases, were emplaced in a shallow marine environment and subsequently altered. K-rich Ca-clinoptilolite (in some places K-clinoptilolite, mordenite or analcime), clay minerals (celadonite or/and smectite), adularia (or albite) and opal-CT replace the volcanic glass. The zeolitized pyroclastic rocks are strongly depleted in MnO, Na2O, K2O, and enriched in CaO, Fe2O3, TiO2 and MgO. Regional zoning in distribution of the major glass-replacing minerals has been established: quartz + adularia (or albite) ± zeolites in the proximal to the vent area; zeolites in the medial and clay minerals in the distal area. Vertical zoning has been also recognized because only the basal pyroclastic layer is transformed into adularia + quartz whereas clinoptilolite, accompanied by opal-CT and clay minerals, prevails in the rest of the section. The zeolitized glass shards are characteristically zoned: (1) a thin rim (<5μm thick) of celadonite coats the shard surface retaining their original shape; (2) a 30-50μm-thick zone, made of contiguous platy zeolite crystals, oriented perpendicular to the rim and (3) a central zone of large euhedral crystals, surrounding a central hollow area. Phenocrysts are not affected by the zeolitization and some relict glass is found in the top of the pyroclastic section. According to the semiquantitative X-ray analysis and heat of immersion test of Culfaz et al. (1973) the clinoptilolite content in the zeolitized pyroclastic rocks varies from 38 to 72 wt.%. The cation exchange capacity values range between 40 and 153 meq/100 g and show a significant positive correlation with clinoptilolite content obtained by the heat of immersion test (r = 0.71). The lateral zoning and presence of typical hydrothermal minerals such as celadotite indicate that zeolitization of the thick Eastern Rhodopes pyroclastic series results from the operation of a large low temperature hydrothermal system. The hydrothermal solutions consist of marine water heated by the anomalous geothermal gradient of the active volcanic areas or/and by the hot pyroclastic deposits.

The legislation extends the authorization of federal funding for the Equus Beds Aquifer Recharge and Recovery Project by 10 years. The aquifer is the primary fresh water source for south-central Kansas and lies under parts of Sedgwick, Harvey, Reno and McPherson Counties. Kansas' Congressional Delegation Against GITMO Closing, Detainee Transfer By Deborah Shaar • Feb 23, 2016 Joint Task Force Guantanamo, flickr Creative Commons Kansas' congressional delegation is against President Obama's plan to close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and transfer remaining detainees to a facility in the U.S. The president's proposal does not say specifically where the detainees would go in the U.S. if the plan is approved by Congress. The prison in Leavenworth is one of the 13 existing prisons and military bases under consideration. Kansas Senator Puts Hold On Obama Nominee Over Guantanamo By Associated Press • Nov 5, 2015 File photo Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts on Wednesday placed a hold on President Barack Obama's nominee for the secretary of the Army to prevent the White House from taking executive action to close Guantanamo Bay and transfer detainees to the United States. Roberts and the five other Republican lawmakers who make up the congressional delegation from Kansas issued a joint statement, condemning what they said was the Obama administration's refusal to rule out taking executive action to close the prison in Cuba. Reflections On A Kansas Election By Ken Ciboski • Jan 14, 2015 vox_efx / Flickr / Creative Commons Many Kansans expressed surprise at the November election outcomes for senator and governor. The polls indicated that Greg Orman would likely defeat Senator Pat Roberts and that Democrat Paul Davis would likely defeat Governor Sam Brownback. The polls were wrong because it is difficult to poll individuals who live in the many rural towns scattered across Kansas. The election outcome did not surprise me. Sen. Pat Roberts Returns From Kuwait Visit; Sees Progress In Fight Against ISIS By Associated Press • Dec 22, 2014 wikipedia.org Kansas Senator Pat Roberts says he saw signs of progress in fighting against Islamic State militants during his weekend trip to Iraq to visit U.S. troops. Roberts arrived Thursday night in Kuwait to visit U.S. troops. On Saturday, Roberts went to the Iraqi capital of Baghdad to meet with Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and his defense and foreign ministers. Sunday, he was in the Kurdish city of Erbil in northern Iraq. Could Anti-Incumbency Decide Kansas Races? By Sean Sandefur • Oct 24, 2014 Bruce Charles / Flickr Although midterm elections are less than two weeks away, a number of races in Kansas are still up in the air. Polls haven't indicated a clear favorite for governor or the U.S. senate. KMUW's Sean Sandefur takes a look at the political makeup of Kansas voters and why some incumbent Republicans are fighting for their lives. Role Of Democratic Party Unclear For KS Senate Race By Stephen Koranda • Oct 6, 2014 Democrats no longer have a candidate for a U.S Senate race in Kansas after Chad Taylor dropped out. Now, it's not clear what role, if any, the state Democratic Party will take in the campaign. Stephen Koranda reports. There's no love lost between Republican Senator Pat Roberts and the leaders in the Kansas Democratic party. But that doesn't mean top-ranking Democrats are throwing their support behind independent candidate Greg Orman. Joan Wagnon is the chair of the Kansas Democratic Party. Court Says No Democrat Needed In Kansas U.S. Senate Race By Stephen Koranda • Oct 1, 2014 Stephen Koranda Shawnee County court says Democrats don't have to name a new candidate for the U.S. Senate to appear on the Kansas ballot. In its ruling today, the court said the party could choose a replacement for Chad Taylor but didn't have to do so. Taylor dropped out of the race last month and his name has been removed from the ballot, leaving no Democrat to challenge incumbent Republican Pat Roberts. Kansas Democratic Party Chair Joan Wagnon defended the party's decision not to appoint a new candidate. Kansas Governor, Senate Candidates Hold Lively Debates At State Fair By Abigail Beckman • Sep 8, 2014 Abigail Wilson The Kansas state fairgrounds in Hutchinson became the front lines in two political races Saturday as the top candidates for governor and U.S. Senate met for lively debates.

Imitation isn't just a form of flattery, as the saying goes – it can also pose an effective challenge to your opponent. We just didn't realize just how closely Mercedes would seek to emulate the Porsche 911 with the launch of the AMG GT.
Benz stopped short of adopting the Elfen's signature (if borderline nonsensical) rear-engine layout, or its taste for boxer engines. But it did drop right into its rival's market territory (from the higher-end SLS AMG and SLR McLaren that came before), and evidently drew stylistic inspiration from Porsche's designs, with their rounded forms, and classic proportions blended with modern details.
Those weren't the only ways in which the AMG GT emulates the 911, though. Evident in Detroit this year like it never has been before is how the Daimler sports car follows it's cross-town rival's lead in product planning: roll out as many variants as you can, update them early, and add special editions.
So after less than three years on the market, Mercedes gave the AMG GT a mild facelift, added some new model variants, and introduced – you guessed it – a special edition. Punctuated by a new grille, the facelifted Mercedes-AMG GT also gets some new options, equipment, and more potent engines. There's a new GT C coupe as well – introduced just as Porsche was revealing the latest 911 GTS – that brings the road-going model line up to six... and you can bet there'll be more: a GT R roadster, perhaps, and maybe a Black Series model.
And there's the new Edition 50, which celebrates AMG's half-century of history. But most of all, these updates mash the accelerator to put one of Stuttgart's sports cars right alongside the other. Don't be surprised, then, to see Daimler launch more updates, more versions, and more special editions of its flagship sports car in the near future. Because if it works for Porsche, it can work for Mercedes, too.

With this singular exception, Gallup Polls have correctly predicted the outcome for presidential elections since 1936. Amazingly, these surveys are often conducted with a random sample of only 1000 people. Inevitably, it raises the question, why don't we simply have 1000 random people decide our elections?
"You don't need to drink the whole bowl of soup to know if it's hot; one spoonful is enough," says Charles Franklin, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin and expert on polling.
With technological advents and telephones in 95% of America's homes, polling has proliferated in the past decade. There were more than 1400 non-partisan polls conducted for the last presidential election--a near four-fold jump from the previous election.
Polls have dramatically shifted the lines of communication between candidates and voters. As recently as a decade ago, say political analysts, candidates relied on contact with community leaders and glad-handing their constituents. But the swollen importance and prevalence of polling has pushed personal contact out of campaigning. Instead, direct ad campaigns--especially television ads--are the new rule of campaigns. Candidates poll to delineate demographics and uncover hot-button issues; in turn, they respond with specific-issue TV ads.
In Oregon this election season, for example, incumbent Gordon Smith refused several requests for live debates. In lieu of town hall debates that would have allowed voters a chance to directly question the candidates, Smith's campaign spent millions on independent polls and television ads.
This development in campaigning is both good and bad, says Franklin. "The dilemma is that you don't want candidates to be empty vessels filled with whatever the public wants," he explains, "but you do want them to be more responsive."
Traditionally, candidates ventured only into familiar and friendly demographics. But polls offer candidates a much broader perspective on the voting public. This election, Smith, who spent much of his political career aligned with conservative anti-gay groups like the OCA, has actively courted gay and lesbian voters. Although many longtime gay rights activists remain skeptical, Smith has earned endorsements from national gay right organizations.
Other growing demographics, like the Latino population, have also benefited from candidates' reliance on polls. It is estimated that a disproportionate amount has been directed this year at courting Latino voters--some local campaigns allegedly have spent as much as one of four dollars on Spanish-speaking ads.
The drawback, admit political analysts, is that smaller demographics can be overlooked. Quite simply, it is not as efficient to court those groups.
"Campaigns are better able to target their voters and tune their strategies," offers Franklin. "I don't imagine that campaigns ever will go back to grassroots face-to-face campaigns."
