Akron, OH: Sept. 18, 2015 – The Great American Rivalry Series is proud to announce that it will feature the Akron "Holy War" rivalry game between the Archbishop Hoban Knights and the St. Vincent St. Mary Fighting Irish in the Series' sixth weekend of games for 2015. This 38th rivalry game will be presented by the United States Marine Corps and played on Friday, September 25 at the University of Akron's InfoCision Stadium. Featuring some of the longest running rivalries in high school football, the 2015 Great American Rivalry Series will feature 100 showdowns nationwide. All of these great games come with great football, hard earned sweat and a heavy dose of hometown pride.
For the 12th year, the Great American Rivalry Series has selected an exclusive collection of top-notch rivalries across the country, covering 40 states and over 100 cities throughout the country. Wrapped in tradition, these annual battles excite entire communities, while celebrating the schools, their teams, and their fans. We Know Friday NightsTM
Often referred to as "Akron's Holy War," this rivalry between STVM's Fighting Irish and the Knights of Hoban is typically a game to remember. First started in 1959 and played through 1977, the rivalry kicked back into gear after a 20 year hiatus in 1996 when the teams faced off at the Rubber Bowl. Beginning in 2009 the Holy War was moved to InfoCision Stadium and now draws a huge crowd from throughout Northeastern Ohio. Though STVM leads the series 21-17 and has won the past 8 years, this game always seems to come down to the last play. Last year STVM squeaked by in 3 overtimes to down Hoban 33-27. Hoban is ready to bring the Ancient Order of Hibernians Shillelagh Stick back to their trophy case.
The winning team earns year-long bragging rights with the Shillelagh Stick and will also take home the Great American Rivalry Series Champions trophy, presented by the Marines. The game's Most Valuable Player and the top student-athlete from each school are also recognized as part of the Series. Along with these awards, an alumnus from each school will be inducted into the 12th class of the Great American Rivalry Series Hall of Fame.
"We are excited to partner once again with the Great American Rivalry Series," said Leroy Pennington, Marketing Specialist for the United States Marine Corps "The elite status of this Series fits perfectly with the Elite Warrior brand of the Marine Corps and we are proud to stand alongside these outstanding young athletes."

Florida Panthers top 10 prospects
Following a similar blueprint to the one that yielded a Stanley Cup in Chicago, general manager Dale Tallon has quickly restocked a Panthers farm system that was fairly barren upon his arrival to South Florida in 2010.
While drafting in the top five of the NHL Draft in four of the past five years has certainly helped bolster the quality of their talent pool, Tallon's ability to find exceptional players beyond the first round has been essential to the team's rebuild.
Last year's top prospect, Aleksander Barkov, made an immediate impact as the team's first-line center before knee injuries cut his promising rookie season short. Prior to that, 2010 first-round pick Jonathan Huberdeau captured the first Calder Trophy in team history as the NHL's top rookie during the 2012-13 season.
Headlined by 2014 No. 1 overall pick Aaron Ekblad and an abundance of other exceptionally talented defensemen, the Panthers' current crop of prospects is quite possibly the best the team has seen in their 21-year history.
Here's a look at the Panthers' top 10 prospects, according to FOX Sports Florida's Jameson Olive.
1. D Aaron Ekblad
Drafted: 2014, first round, 1st overall
Projected NHL arrival: 2014-15
The first defensemen selected No. 1 overall since 2006, Ekblad is likely to make an immediate impact with the Panthers in the upcoming season. Ekblad, 18, was named the Ontario Hockey League's most outstanding defenseman in 2013-14, leading all players at his position in goals (23) and finished tied for fifth in points (54). Calder Trophy expectations for the talented rookie should be tempered, however, as the learning curve for defensemen is often much greater than that of other positions.
2. D Michael Matheson
Florida Panthers news
Drafted: 2012, first round, 23rd overall
Projected NHL arrival: 2015-16
Electing to return to Boston College rather than signing an entry-level contract with the Panthers this offseason, Matheson will serve as team captain during his junior year with the Eagles. Matheson, 20, has 11 goals, 46 points and a plus-33 rating in 74 NCAA games. Last season, he led all BC defensemen in points and played an integral role in the team's run to the Frozen Four. He was voted an AHCA Second-Team All-American, Hockey East First-Team All-Star and a New England Men's Division I All-Star in 2013-14.
3. C Vincent Trocheck
Drafted: 2011, third round, 64th overall
Projected NHL arrival: 2015-16
A gritty, two-way center, Trocheck, 21, made his NHL debut with the Panthers towards the tail end of the 2013-14 season. Making the most of his opportunity, Trocheck notched five goals and three assists in 20 games while leading all Panther forwards in ice time with an average of 18:53 per game. Prior to his promotion, Trocheck led the team's American Hockey League affiliate, the San Antonio Rampage, in scoring with 16 goals and 42 points in 55 games. While Trocheck has certainly proven that he is capable of playing at the NHL level, the team's current logjam at the center position will likely keep him in the AHL for another year.
4. C/RW Rocco Grimaldi
Drafted: 2011, second round, 33rd overall
Projected NHL arrival: 2015-16
Forgoing his final two years of eligibility at the University of North Dakota, Grimaldi signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Panthers in May. Grimaldi, 21, finished his collegiate career with 31 goals, 77 points and a plus-22 rating in 86 games. Though it remains to be seen how his 5-foot-6 frame will transition into the professional game, a promising display at July's development camp coupled with an insatiable work ethic has Grimaldi on the fast track to the NHL.
5. D Ian McCoshen
Drafted: 2013, second round, 31st overall
Projected NHL arrival: 2016-17
During his first season at Boston College, McCoshen's production and ice time were certainly not that of a typical freshman. Playing a responsible, two-way game, McCoshen, 19, earned five goals, eight assists and 48 penalty minutes in 35 games last season. He was named rookie of the week for his game-winning goal against the University of Massachusetts-Lowell during the NCAA tournament to send BC to the Frozen Four. Internationally, the 6-foot-3, 206-pound McCoshen competed for Team USA at the 2013 World Junior Championships where he recorded no points but garnered praise for his sound defense.
6. LW Quinton Howden
Drafted: 2010, first round, 25th overall
Projected NHL arrival: 2015-16
One of the fastest prospects in the entire NHL, Howden has worked tirelessly over the past two seasons to transform himself into a two-way player rather than relying simply on his speed to create offense. Last season, Howden, 22, tallied four goals, including one short-handed tally, in 16 games with the Panthers while serving as a bottom-six forward and penalty killer. Prior to his promotion, Howden notched 10 goals and 17 assists in 59 games for the Rampage. Likely to begin the upcoming season in the AHL, Howden should be looked at as a potential early call up if an injury befalls any of the Panthers' wingers.
7. RW Jayce Hawryluk
Drafted: 2014, second round, 32nd overall
Projected NHL arrival: 2017-18
Already drawing comparisons to both Brad Marchand and Brendan Gallagher, Hawryluk projects to be a high-energy agitator with an offensive touch. Standing just 5-foot-10, 192 pounds, Hawyrluk, 18, led the Brandon Wheat Kings in scoring with 24 goals and 64 points in just 59 games during the 2013-14 season. Entering his third year in Brandon, Hawryluk has compiled 42 goals, 107 points and 90 penalty minutes in 120 career games in the Western Hockey League.
8. D Alex Petrovic
Projected NHL arrival: 2015-16
Drafted: 2010, second round, 36th overall
While the fanfare surrounding Petrovic has certainly diminished over the past two seasons, the 6-foot-4, 206-pound defensemen still has the potential to fit into the Panthers' long-term plans. Limited by a nagging upper-body injury last season, he compiled two goals, 11 assists and 79 penalty minutes in 43 games for the Rampage. Unable to establish a foothold in the NHL when given the opportunity, Petrovic, 22, has just one assist, 39 penalty minutes and a minus-5 rating in 13 games with the Panthers over parts of the past two seasons. He is likely to start the upcoming season in the AHL but should be looked at as a potential early call up if the Panthers defense struggles.
9. D MacKenzie Weegar
Drafted:2013, seventh round, 206th overal
Projected NHL arrival: 2016-17
The Panthers last pick of the 2013 draft, Weegar signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the team in May. In his final season with the Halifax Mooseheads, Weegar, 20, finished tied for fourth in scoring among Quebec Major Junior Hockey League defensemen with 59 points in 61 games. An offensive-minded defensemen who likes to do most his damage on the power play, Weegar will need to work on growing his game beyond special teams during his first professional season in the AHL.
10. D Jonathan Racine
Drafted: 2011, third round, 87th overall
Projected NHL arrival: 2016-17
A stay-at-home defensemen, Racine's contributions aren't often found on the score sheet, but are nevertheless just as valuable. Tasked with shutting down the top players on opposing teams, Racine, 21, plays a physical game with the ability to win tough battles in the corners and along the boards. In his first season with the Rampage, he earned 91 penalty minutes, including seven fighting majors, to go along with six assists in 51 games. Already having garnered praise from both coaches and management for the immense strides he's made in his development over the past year, Racine's future with the Panthers looks bright.

A Cafe For Authors and Avid Readers
Defined by Others (Defining Ways Series Book 1) by M.C.V. Egan
Like so many in our mobile society, Anne had left her upper middle class town to live, work, travel, get married and have children away from her small town roots, family and friends. At age forty-seven Anne finds herself back in her hometown, where very little has changed. As bad as the small town rumor mill is, time has added a cyber aspect where it seems everyone 'knows' and this increases Anne's pain, guilt, frustration, devastation and anger that her husband has left her for a 'man'.
Anne prided herself in knowing just the right word for every situation. What word will come to mind after her high school friend Amanda dies? Amanda's casket had just been lowered into the ground when Anne finds herself alone in an Attorney's Office starring at Amanda's final message on video. Almost in a trance, Anne leaves the office with the inheritance held tightly in her hands as questions swirl around in her head.
Connie whose marriage had also taken a bad turn, is a welcome old friend that makes herself at home in Anne's childhood home. Connie and Anne reminisce, eat, drink, explore Anne's mother's secret room and slowly go through and digest the inheritance that Amanda has left.
Together Annie and Connie tap into what they call "our inner bitch" to deal with the cards that life had dealt them. Intrigued by a "game" that Amanda started and manipulated by the detailed instructions left by Amanda; this game engages them in "harmless" cyber fun that allows Annie and Connie to toy with the emotions and even love interests of mutual acquaintances.
If you could secretly know everything about your friends and neighbors, would you want to know?
If you could secretly manipulate those who had hurt you in the past, would you?
How far would you go?
Would you heed the message on the cover of this book? "If you share a secret it will no longer be a secret.^^^Keep your secrets safe.^^^Do not share your secrets.^^^.It will destroy you.^^^Secrets give power."
I always quote a couple passages from the books that reads, so here goes.
P56 "power is great because it makes you the dominatrix. The psychological manipulator, which is the perfect description for what Amanda was."
P150 "As we sat there judging and discussing our generation we were ridiculously oblivious to our own behavior. Apparently women often do not realize they are addicted until they are in a heap of trouble, and we were no exception."
P151 "We were addicted to a variety of deceptions: love deception and sexual deception."
You must read this book to see exactly what was included in the inheritance that Amanda gave Anne, what was involved in perusing Amanda's game and what if any consequences, real or imagined in life and in cyberspace.
Defined by Others (Defining Ways Series Book 1) by M.C.V. Egan is a well written Women's Contemporary Fiction with realistic dialog between the characters and a twist of generational similarities and differences.
Theodocia McLean endorses Defined by Others (Defining Ways Series Book 1) by M.C.V. Egan as a well written Women's Contemporary Fiction with realistic dialog and a twist of generational similarities and differences.
I hear rumors that 'Climbing Up The Family Tree: Defined by Pedigree' is next in the series. Meanwhile make sure you read The Bridge Of Deaths: A Love Story and A Mystery by M.C.V. Egan. I purchased and reviewed this book from a Kindle format. This review was completed on January 27, 2016.

Fields: Statistical Physics, Complex networks, Nonlinear dynamics, Epidemic spreading, Swarm, Evolutionary game theory, and Complex systems in general.
Physics is what physicists are interested in, defined by their working approaches rather than the subjects. I am interested in complex systems, which are ubiquitous at every scale in our world and society. Trained in theoretical physics, I study those systems utilizing the concepts and tools borrowed from statistical physics, network theory, nonlinear dynamics, game theory. The idea/belief that drives my research is that complex emerging behaviors of certain systems are actually governed by very simple rules. The fields I ever worked or working in include synchronization of networked oscillators, swarming behaviors, modeling the spread of infectious diseases, and evolutionary game theory etc. I work with the best scientists in those disciplines.
My research interest is diverse and changes in time, which is good in the sense for the potential cross-fertilisation, but also criticized by some friends. The following are selected research achievements in the past:

Telling an employee you aren't satisfied with her work and suggesting you will be looking for a replacement could mean she can quit and get unemployment compensation. You can't push her to "look for another job" and then hope to avoid an unemployment claim by saying she voluntarily left.
Recent case: Rachel Shuster is a veterinarian who worked for six years until she was informed the clinic owner didn't want to take her on as a partner when her contract expired. He suggested she seek other employment opportunities, but never said he was going to fire her—though he was actively looking for a replacement.
Shuster gave 60 days' notice (it was required by her contract) and then filed for unemployment. Her benefits were granted, but the clinic had the decision reversed. It claimed Shuster wasn't facing imminent discharge when she gave her notice, and therefore had quit voluntarily.
She appealed, and the Superior Court of New Jersey reversed. The court said she was eligible because it was clear she wouldn't have a job when her contract expired. Therefore, her pre-emptive resignation wasn't really voluntary. She got the benefits. (Shuster v. Board of Review, Department of Labor, No. A-1880-96T2, Superior Court of New Jersey, 2007)

A tough-as-nails entrepreneur chisels a business in office furniture despite humungous odds. 'The government's incentives for SMEs never trickle down to us,' rues Saurabh Rohtagi.
Sonali Chowdhury
Many would kill for a cushy job in a comfortable leather-back swivel chair. Not Saurabh Rohtagi. A qualified company secretary with a secure job, Rohtagi would often swivel in his leather-back chair in his office and dream about the future.
It was Rohtagi's belief that a comfortable workplace tended to increase productivity and raised the brand value of the company too. To Rohtagi's mind, this meant only one thing – companies placed a premium on good office furniture.
Many years later, Rohtagi's Viplab Industries, a Crisil-rated company, is dishing out chic and comfort in the form of office furniture, cubicles and wall panelling, to companies that include Idea Cellular, Hitachi, Geetanjali and Vaibhav Gems, among others.
Our self-made entrepreneur, now in his 30s, set up his company in Jaipur in 2008 and later converted it into a partnership along with his wife Tanu and brother Abhishek. While Saurabh looks after the finance, marketing and promotions of the company, Abhishek and Tanu oversee manufacturing, expansion and planning.
Dark Days
A turnover of 43 lakh (2012-13) may seem modest for other SMEs but not to Rohtagi, whose humble beginnings would have deterred many from taking the risk. When Rohtagi's father lost his job to failing eyesight, his mother, a teacher, began to support the family.
Life was tough but Rohtagi, still in school then, cultivated a positive outlook. After he graduated in 2003, he became a qualified company secretary and held steady jobs for five years in the banking and insurance sectors. That's when he realised there was a permanent and large requirement for office furniture. He did his homework and finally took the plunge.
"Business gave me the freedom to take my own decisions, take risks and plan my future. I hoped it would bring me recognition and good money some day. His brother Abhishek laughs, "Saurabh is the kind of person who doesn't sleep at night till an order is complete and delivered to customers. Once it is delivered, he starts looking for more orders!"
Trader To Manufacturer
Rohtagi started as a trader and bought furniture from Delhi and Jaipur, which he supplied to retailers and dealers locally. "It was very tough getting retailers. We could not even take goods on credit as we did not have a solid business background or collateral, and had to pay cash up-front," shares Rohtagi.
He realised the solution was to set up a manufacturing unit. But how was he to do that with just Rs 25,000 in the bank? "We started visiting dealers and wholesalers, and gradually earned some goodwill. Gradually, we started getting goods on credit. Eventually, we were able to invest Rs 2.5 lakh in machines, equipment and setting up the unit.
Initially, Abhishek kept his full-time job to support the venture and the brothers scouted for a suitable workshop. "We found someone who was willing to rent us a tin shed with an electricity connection for Rs 5,000 a month," recalls Rohtagi. "We bought second-hand machines because we could not apply for loans to invest in new ones."
End Of The Tunnel
The next challenge was hiring skilled workers. "We didn't have enough equipment so we could not turn around our products quickly. We thus incurred losses amounting to Rs 12,000 and had to sell the goods at a discount to recover some of the money to pay for the raw materials.
With sheer grit, Rohtagi made it through those dark times. It was therefore a proud day when he rolled out his first product suite. "One of our earliest clients was Geetanjali, which was a big boost for us. The order was valued at Rs 5-6 lakh and this helped us take off," says Rohtagi who commands a staff of 26 today.
As the business gathered momentum, Viplab Industries started getting orders from government firms and large companies and Rohtagi worked towards getting a Crisil rating and ISO certification to put Viplab Industries at par with other players.
Even A Home Loan Is Easier To Get!
"SMEs like us find it very difficult to secure loans. The government has left it to banks to offer loans but the money doesn't trickle down to us. And there's tons of paperwork and if it gets stuck, the whole process stalls," Rohtagi sighs.
He says Viplab Industries had applied for a bank loan of Rs 12 lakh, which they were eligible for but received only Rs 5 lakh. "How were we supposed to pay for raw material, working capital, fees for tenders and repay our creditors? The banks we had approached asked us to complete orders worth Rs 10 lakh before applying to them! It is easier to get a home loan than a business loan!"
Only The Tough Survive
But tough times have made the Rohtagi brothers only tougher and Saurabh remarks, "We aim to cross a turnover of Rs1 crore by next year and register our company as a private limited firm."
That's no empty boast for a youngster who went from a turnover of Rs 5 lakh to Rs 43 lakh in just three years.

Octavia Spencer shocks Roberts & Thompson with Murder, She Wrote news
Octavia Spencer left acting royalty Julia Roberts and Emma Thompson stunned when she revealed plans to revive one of their favourite TV shows Murder, She Wrote during a recent round table interview. The three movie stars gathered for an in-depth chat about their craft with The Hollywood Reporter and The Help star thrilled her fellow Oscar winners when she confirmed her new TV role.
News of the series revival and original star Angela Lansbury's opposition to the project has been documented in the media for weeks, but it appears the news didn't reach Thompson and Roberts.
As Spencer revealed the details of her new TV role, Roberts said, "Wait a minute, Murder, She Wrote is still on TV?" And Thompson followed up with, "Are you going to be Angela Lansbury?"
The Help star explained she signed on for the role in the revamp to try something new, adding, "I'm a short, cute, chubby woman. There are fewer and fewer roles that I haven't done already, or archetypes that I haven't played, and to break out of that box, the most interesting stuff is television."

Columbus, OH - September 2016
Babies undergo painful procedures for a host of good reasons, but with a potential cost. Poorly managed pain can affect neurodevelopment, behavior and cognitive function.
A recent policy statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics' Committee on Fetus and Newborn and Section on Anesthesiology and Pain Medication found neonatal pain continues to be inconsistently assessed and inadequately managed, and offered guidelines to improve. Those recommendations focus on skin-to-skin care, breast feeding and other nonpharmacologic interventions to limit newborns' suffering.
"We have to continue to build the foundation for nonpharmacologic care; we should be doing it for every baby every time they undergo a procedure," says Erin Keels, DPN, APRN, NNP-BC, program manager of nurse practitioners in the Division of Neonatology at Nationwide Children's Hospital and primary author of the update.
"There's a lot of opportunity to pull the families into assisting at the bedside, utilizing these interventions," she says. "That strengthens their relationship and improves outcomes for the baby."
To prevent or limit pain, the AAP committee recommends judicious use of procedures. When painful procedures are necessary, caregivers are urged to consistently use validated assessment tools before, during and after. To manage pain, the committee recommends nonpharmacologic interventions and careful use of pharmaceuticals.
"Even though we've had morphine and other opiates for decades, we still need to learn the long term outcomes so we can be more confident when we use them," Keels says.
The committee also says oral sucrose or glucose solutions used to ease pain should be treated as pharmacological interventions. Research on their effects is lacking.
Recommended nonpharmacologic interventions include:
Outside of hospitals, pediatricians could use nonpharmacologic interventions during injections and other simple procedures at an office or outpatient clinic, Keels says. The policy may also be a resource when counseling a family whose baby will require a stay in the NICU after birth.
Keels, a former bedside nurse, studies pain prevention and management practices across the country to help set protocols in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Nationwide Children's.
"We're one of the largest neonatal service lines in the country and have a very large surgical service here... there are ample opportunities to improve outcomes of pain management," Keels says. "I find when I'm going around the country, some of our pain management techniques or approaches are sort of ahead of the curve."
Keels is The National Association of Neonatology Nurses' liaison to the AAP Committee on Fetus and Newborn and Section on Anesthesiology and Pain Medication, which produced the new policy — the first in a decade.
"I think the policy guidelines are terrific," says Kristina Reber, MD, associate division chief of Neonatology at Nationwide Children's Hospital, who was not involved in drafting the update. "We're recognizing and appreciating more and more the need to be proactive about treating pain, how we treat, and minimizing the pharmacologic exposure to the baby.
"As the guidelines point out, we still need a lot of research to better understand how to best manage neonatal pain," Dr. Reber says.

So to start off with I had a wonderful time finally meeting several of my fpvchat slackers in person and some of the DRL pilots. It was a ton of fun and I hope they do it again next year as I will be there. The racing was top notch and other than a few hiccups and one very public backlash I think the event went off superbly. I arrived Friday at 1:30AM and made it out to the field to register and fly by 10:30AM, Tired but not that tired the wife and I checked out several of the tracks and visited with everyone we could. I flew mostly the freestyle track until the RR crew started their game of KWAD. Seeing as it was a ton more watching than flying we made a trip out to the very empty battle track.
Now here's where things went all wrong, First I break the camera pod on the hive 210. I follow it up with the hyphy 6″ getting stuck in the gate by a frayed string. After we managed to dislodge that and I changed all the props I went back to the flight line. Plugged in and walked back to my seat. At this point I notice it doing it's SOS churp so I grab my taranis and verify it's on (which it is). I then do something monumentally stupid. I clip it on then walk to the quad to disconnect the battery to take a look. As I pick it up I bump the arm switch. Can you guess what happens? It full throttle tries to launch off with my ring finger getting chewed up by the props.
Before you ask. Yes it was betaflight 3.2, no it was not a\the bug, and yes I'm a moron. I will be implementing the prearm function now on all my quads.
Even after all this I enjoyed my trip even though I couldn't compete at this point. It was great getting to know the people in this hobby and some of the amazing things they can do with these things.
I want to shout out to all the guys from FPVCHAT that I was able to get to sign my shirt as well. Thanks guys for being such an awesome community.
Lastly yes I was that guy that had to get his fingers nearly chopped off at the event go figure.

who find dental treatments unbearable or want to
complete multiple treatments in one sitting.
This dental treatment is good for the people who tend
to have:
• Busy schedules
• Sensitive teeth and/or gums
• Anxiety around dentistry
• A strong gag reflex
• Small mouths
• A poor response to local anesthesia
Pain-free Dental Experience
Sleep dentistry helps the patients get their treatment done,
without any pains. The sedative drugs or injections relieve
the anxiety and the patient has no fear of going through
pain during the treatment.
No Time Loss
Just like other procedures, this dental treatment takes
less time. Patients do not have to come back for
numerous appointments to complete the procedure. And,
dentists also get to complete more work in less time.
Relaxed State
Patients with parkinson's disease or children with ADHD
have no control over their body movement. Its hard for
them to stay still for a long time. Sleep dentistry puts such
patients at ease, and allow the dentist do the treatment
without any disturbance.
Sleep dentistry is offered at reasonable prices.

In 1260, the brothers and Venetian merchants Niccolo and Matteo Polo traveled east from Europe. In 1265, they arrived at Kaifeng, the capital of Kublai Khan's Mongol Empire. In 1269, the brothers returned to Europe with a request from Khan for the Pope to send one hundred missionaries to the Mongol Empire, supposedly to help convert the Mongols to Christianity. The Khan's message was ultimately relayed to the Pope but he did not send the requested missionaries.
Upon arriving in Venice, Nicolo discovered that his wife had died, leaving the care of a son, Marco (born in 1254 and thus fifteen years old), in his hands. In 1271, the two brothers and Marco began to trek eastward and in 1275 met the Great Khan.
Khan liked the youthful Marco and conscripted him into service for the Empire. Marco served in several high-level government positions, including as ambassador and as the governor of the city of Yangzhou. While the Great Khan enjoyed having the Polos as his subjects and diplomats, Khan eventually consented to allow them to leave the Empire, as long as they would escort a princess who was scheduled to wed a Persian king.
The three Polos left the Empire in 1292 with the princess, a fleet of fourteen large boats, and 600 other passengers from a port in southern China. The armada sailed through Indonesia to Sri Lanka and India and onto its final destination at the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf. Supposedly, only eighteen people survived from the original 600, including the Princess who could not wed her intended fiancee because he had died, so she married his son instead.
The three Polos returned to Venice and Marco joined the army to fight against the city-state of Genoa. He was captured in 1298 and imprisoned in Genoa. While in prison for two years, he dictated an account of his travels to a fellow prisoner named Rustichello. Shortly thereafter, The Travels of Marco Polo was published in French.
Though Polo's book exaggerates places and cultures (and some scholars believe he never went as far east as China but only described places other travelers had been to), his book was widely published, translated into many languages, and thousands of copies were printed.
Polo's book includes fanciful accounts of men with tails and cannibals seem to be around every corner. The book is somewhat a geography of Asian provinces. It is divided into chapters covering specific regions and Polo delves into the politics, agriculture, military power, economy, sexual practices, burial system, and religions of each area. Polo brought the ideas of paper currency and coal to Europe. He also included second-hand reports of areas that he had not visited, such as Japan and Madagascar.

It was a day of downpours, tears, hope and even a rainbow. On September 1st 2012, an estimated 40,000 people filled Tamar Park next to Hong Kong's famed Victoria Harbour and framed by the territory's gleaming new government headquarters.
They were there to protest against the introduction of a new mandatory Moral and National Education Curriculum in Hong Kong's primary and secondary schools. Under this new subject, children from as young as six would be expected to develop a sense of national identity and pride in their country; to be be moved when they see the raising of the flag of the People's Republic of China.
Many are worried the new curriculum amounts to "brainwashing". They were particularly horrified when teaching materials developed for the subject referred to China's ruling Communist Party as "advanced, united and progressive" and extolled the virtues of China's political system while denigrating the "suffering" caused by inter-party conflict in democratic systems.
On July 29 2012, an estimated 90,000 people braved the heat to march against "brainwashing education". Many of them were families with young children, some of them in strollers. For some of the marchers, this was their first demonstration. Numerous opinion polls and surveys show the majority of people disapprove of pushing ahead with the curriculum. But the government refused to withdraw the subject, prompting three secondary school students to begin a hunger strike outside the government headquarters on August 30.
On September 1st, the last Saturday before the beginning of a new school year, tens of thousands of people gathered at the Government Complex, first for a Civic Education Carnival and then for a rally in the evening that included speeches and performances from civil society representatives, public figures and local artistes.
By the end of the evening, 10 people including a parent, teachers, a retired professor and university students started a hunger strike as the three secondary school students concluded theirs.
That they were prepared to put their health at risk, shows the depth of anger and disappointment many in Hong Kong are feeling about the government's refusal to even consider withdrawing the controversial curriculum and starting new consultations with the community.
That so many people, including young people and families with children, were willing to express their views in a peaceful way shows the community's resolve to safeguard what they see as freedom of thought and the future of Hong Kong itself.

Revolutionary Marxist Group (Ireland)
Revolutionary Marxist Group was a Trotskyist organization in Ireland during the 1970s.[1]
Its origins lay in the 1971 split of United Secretariat of the Fourth International (USFI) supporters from the League for a Workers Republic. Many of the initial group had formerly been in the Young Socialists, along with some others who attended discussion meetings (such as Charlie Bird and Butch Roche) but who tended to drop off later when the RMG name was adopted and democratic centralism set in. In 1972, they joined with a loose grouping in Belfast to form the Revolutionary Marxist Group, mainly under the influence of D.R. O'Connor Lysaght (known as Rayner Lysaght)[2] and Anne Speed, and her then partner. In 1974, the organisation affiliated to the USFI.[3] The RMG campaigned against internment in Northern Ireland and took part in several public protests against it.[4]
The theoretical journal of the group was Marxist Review.[5] The group focused on supporting a united Ireland and on gaining influence in the student movement.[3] The RMG rejected the Éire Nua plan put forward by Ruairí Ó Brádaigh and Dáithí Ó Conaill, arguing EN was "too tied to the bourgeoisie".[6] Marxist Review also criticized the ideas advocated by the conservative Irish writer Desmond Fennell, arguing that "Fennellism" is essentially idealistic and ultra-clerical".[7] They also accused Fennell of being anti-feminist and anti-trade union.[7]
The RMG was strongly pro-feminist,[8] and RMG members took part in the "Irishwomen United" group in 1976, along with members of People's Democracy and the Irish Republican Socialist Party. "Irishwomen United" was a left-wing, anti-clerical, radical feminist group that called for the legalisation of contraception and abortion, equal pay for Irish women, and secular community-controlled schools.[9]
In 1976, the group changed its name to the Movement for a Socialist Republic, and in 1978 it joined Socialist Democracy.[3]

Medical Definition of Electrolyte
Electrolyte: A substance that dissociates into ions in solution and acquires the capacity to conduct electricity. Sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, and phosphate are examples of electrolytes, informally known as lytes. Electrolyte replacement is needed when a patient has prolonged vomiting or diarrhea, and as a response to strenuous athletic activity. Commercial electrolyte solutions are available, particularly for sick children (solutions such as Pedialyte) and athletes (sports drinks, such as Gatorade). Electrolyte monitoring is important in treatment of anorexia and bulimia.

I thought I'd start an informal review of movies ordered/view on netflix, which I would have never seen otherwise. Perhaps you want to add them to your list.
Apaloosa. Ed Harris and Vigo Mortensen. I just loooove Vigo. I think he would have made a great 007. Anyway, Apaloosa is an entertaining movie. Renee Zelwegger does an excellent job with the flawed character she plays.
Ordered on Netflix
I thought I'd start an informal review of movies ordered/view on netflix, which I would have never seen otherwise. Perhaps you want to add them to your list.
My OH ordered Aviator. I was so bored I quit watching after about, well... I'm not sure. The only bright spot for me was Cate Blanchett as Kate Hepburn.
Good idea for a thread! I am at a loss sometimes picking movies. I don't have tv and don't see all the "trailers" so I don't know much about most of them.
I have enjoyed some Will Smith movies lately. I Robot, was a surprize like, and the one he was in with his son was pretty good.
Gee, what kind of movies do you like, Vossner. My netflix list is all over the map, from anime to documentaries, drama and sci-fi. About the only thing I don't rent much of anymore is hard core horror films. Not a good thing to watch when you live by yourself! :)
My netflix list is all over the map, too. Just finished seeing The Weeping Camel about a camel in Mongolia and the tribe which owns her. Very interesting movie, but not your usual Hollywood stuff. It is about people who live in yurts and raise camels. You get to see a camel being born. Part of the plot.
tomatofreak, is Aviator the one loosely based on Howard Hughes? I think I saw it, not on my top ten but I thought L.DiCaprio did a good job portraying a character fighting mental illness demons.
Cparts, should we add I Robot to our list?
Cece, I used to love horror films and then one day I couldn't take them any more. I do not watch them at all! As to my list, I don't do cartoon movies. This will sound weird but cartoons hurt my eyes. I must be one of the few people that has never seen Roger Rabbit, Little Mermaid, et al, lol.
Another thing that has changed in me is what I term movie tolerance. I used to suffer thru a movie, no matter how horrible, ridiculous, sappy. These days, if the first 30 minutes don't grab me, I don't hesitate to stop watching. Same w/ books.
I never watched horror movies -- at least on purpose. Sometimes my DH rents them and I peek at them over my shoulder at them if I am working at the computer. Why waste one's time scaring oneself?? About as smart as hitting yourself with a hammer. I know some people don't get scared -- but if I think I will get scared, I don't order or look at it.
Some scary ( not tales of the supernatural, but thriller) movies that I have enjoyed are Silence of the Lambs and Fatal Attraction.
If you like films about foreign countries I recommend Lagan about India. It is total Bollywood but tells the story of the encounter of an poor Indian Village with a cruel British Governor during the British Raj. The governor wants to extract yet more tax money from the village - enough to destroy it and the village agrees to play a cricket match against the British and if they win they don't have to pay the tax. Only problem, none of them know how to play cricket. It is very funny yet gives a nice picture of India. Lots of singing and dancing and very fun.
And speaking of Indian movies -- sort of -- if you haven't seen Monsoon Wedding and Bend It Like Beckham -- do move those up in your queue. They are fabulous and funny.
Yes, I think even if you don't normally do sci-fi you would like I Robot.
Another film I liked recently is The Bone Collector. It is spooky like silence of the lambs, but not as gory. Jeffery Deaver's books are pretty good too.
I do not like horror pictures either. Just not my cup of tea.
bend it like beckham was a fun movie
I consider Bend It Like Beckham to be one of my all time favorite movies. If you liked it you will like the other two Indian or semi-Indian movies I named.
I didn't see I Robot, but I did see its predecessor Forbidden Planet. Did you catch on to the fact that these are both SciFi retellings of Shakespeare's The Tempest?
Another excellent movie that is a retelling of a Shakespeare play is A Thousand Acres. It is also a fine novel. I had read about half the novel before I realized it was the same story as King Lear. Had to see the movie -- which I also liked a lot.
If you like Bollywood and Indian movies, this one is fun: http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Bride_and_Prejudice/70012797?trkid=64596 . It is, of course, based on Pride and Prejudice, with the plucky Indian girl standing up to the thought to be snobbish American. Love insues, of course, with lots of dancing and singing in between. And guess who is in it? Sayid from Lost! He plays the American guy's best friend.
Let's see... what else... my rentals have been pretty hum-drum. Mostly the popular just released stuff. I did rent Spike Lee's When the Levees Broke, his documentary about the distruction of New Orleans. That was intense.
This is a good Sci-Fi independent film: http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Miracle_Mile/60028384?trkid=222336&lnkctr=srchrd-sr&strkid=625550665_0_0 . Miracle Mile. Anthony Edward (yes, the doc from ER, though much younger) plays a guy who picks up a wrong number at a payphone booth. He hears a frantic young man on the other end screaming that the missles have been launched, and LA is going to be nuked in one hour! Then gunfire and silence... Uh oh! Does he save the girl of his dream and run, or try to convince others that the end is near? Very well acted and VERY intense.
Ooooh, since you like Viggo Morgensen, have you seen this one? http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Eastern_Promises/70059994?trkid=64596 . Eastern Promises is about the Russian Mafia in London, and Viggo plays a GREAT Russian gangster. You also get to see the "Full Monty" in one scene! Hee-Hee!
Last one is another documentary: http://www.netflix.com/Movie/The_Wild_Parrots_of_Telegraph_Hill/70025655?trkid=64596 . The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill is about the flocks of escaped parrots that have naturalized in San Francisco, and focuses on a man who has spent a lifetime observing and loving the parrots in his neighborhood. I just loved this film!
I have seen Bride and Prejudice -- up to some point when the dvd went bad. I rented it locally. I should order it from Netflix!
I **loved** Eastern Promises. Really good movie. Vigo in the fight scene in the Turkish bath was almost like a choreographed dance. Great film.
I have long wanted to see The Parrots of Telegraph Hill. Better bump it up on my list!
I loved Spike Lee's documentary When the Levees broke. I am from New Orleans and was in and out of there as soon as you could fly in. His documentary was right on -- recording a real blight on our national history, as far as I am concerned. Don't get me started.
Ok, I have added a couple more movies to my list. Thanks.
thanks everyone. I have added your suggestions. I also put Deadwood, season I and Wire, season I. Too bad they don't give you the entire season as one movie. So if the entire season is 4 dvds, then it's 4 diff. shipments.
I like sci-fi, but there's so much of it on TV that it seems I can catch a good show at any given time, so saving my netflix for other stuff. As for documentaries, I don't hate them but I do feel I need to be in a serious mood to watch and that may not always be the case. I think the last docu I saw was Bowling for columbine, which I thought was good but I don't like the guy who made it. And the one on global warming by the the former VP, I refused to watch 'cause I thought it would scare the pants off me, lol.
Viggo, Viggo, Viggo. I did see Eastern Promises at the movies. It was a good movie and I did not cover my eyes for the frontal, in fact my eyes were very wide open, ha ha. I keep thinking he'd be a great glamorous spy not that there's anything wrong w/ Daniel Craig.
Yes, I could watch Vigo pretty often myself -- even the full monty. By the way, did you see that movie? The Full Monty? Another hilarious one. For movies in English with heavily accented English, I have learned to turn on the English subtitles for the hearing impaired. I am slightly hearing impaired and do wear hearing aids, but I noticed my husband whose hearing is outstanding, missed some of those words, too. He, also, appreciates the subtitles.
yes, loved the full monty. I haven't yet seen Calendar girls, imagine that's a good one.
thanks for the subtitle tips. I miss a lot of words myself.
Oh the subtitles are a great innovation on DVD. You will love Calendar girls. I saw it on an international flight and a woman asked me to quit laughing so hard, it was disturbing her sleep! Some people!
I even use subtitles for American movies. I get annoyed if I don't clearly hear every word that's said.
I enjoyed Weeping Camel and Parrots of Telegraph Hill. I loved Bend it Like Beckham and the Full Monty. I have Calendar Girls on my Netflix list.
I really like documentaries. One that I just rented is Young at Heart. It's about a group of elderly folks who travel the world singing contemporary songs at concerts. I'm talking about rock & roll, blues, and even punk band songs! It's a funny, touching and charming movie.
Rented over the weekend: That's Bill. If you didn't want to watch another CSI, NCIS, Law&Order rerun, then this movie is good enough. Stars Aaron Eckhardt from the clever satire "Thank you for Smoking".
I watch so little TV that every time I see a CSI crime scene, it is new to me! I much prefer movies. Will have to look into the ones you mention.
ha ha, I have such a terrible memory, that all CSI, etc. are new to me but still, sometimes I don't feel like it and a B movie is just right.
What a fun thread idea! LOL
I recently saw Thank You For Smoking and Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrells.
The 1st one has Aaron Eckhart as a cigarette manufacturer's rep. He's the guy who's supposed to convince people to smoke. It's better than it sounds and there are some truly funny scenes, like the one with Sam Eliot.
The 2nd is a British movie with diffucult at times to understand dialogue and a very twisted plot. But once you catch on to what's happening, it's very much a good time.
Thank you for Smoking was a lot of fun. I will have to add L S & 2 SB to my list.
Vossner - I love BITLB. I have that soundtrack (the Indian version with all of the music) and love it. I have no idea what they're saying, but I love the music.
Waking Ned Devine for people like Calendar Girls.
If you like a sort of adult soap operae with a satirical edg type of thing, check out the movie Reckless with Robson Green and Micheal Kutcheon (sp?) If you watch a lot of PBS you know who they are.
Friday Night Lights is great. (Don't be put off by the "teeny" look. It's more about life in a small town.
This is a series, so it might take forever to go through it, but i just started watching "Upstairs, Downstairs" again. I watched it the first time when it was on PBS back in the 70s. It is just as fresh and iteresting today as it was then. The actors in it are incredible, and the stories, as I understand it, are based on real instances in the lives of servants in Edwardian England. http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Upstairs_Downstairs_Season_1/60030355?trkid=222336&lnkctr=srchrd-sr&strkid=1233340803_0_0
Once again though, it is a series, so you might want to see if you can find it at your library, unless you have the unlimited Netflix contract.
Just remembered a great movie that I ordered on Netflix -- Charlie Wilson's War. It is about the Afganistan War and is very funny -- sounds impossible, but Charlie Wilson was a real person with an impossible life. There was even an interview with the real man on the DVD. He has now passed, but not long ago.
Anyhow, it is a very good film if you haven't seen it.
Haven't watched network , cable, or satillite (?) tv in several years. There's some really annoying stuff out there... Don't get me started about the commercials!! Anyway, I do watch lots of dvd movies and series of MY choice. Really enjoy netflicks. I've been buying some of my all time favorites, which seem to be mostly comedies or with lots of humour. Some of them are: 'Young Frankenstein' with Gene Wilder, 'The Villain' with Kirk Douglas, 'Without a Clue' with Michael Caine, 'Some Like It Hot' with Jack Lemon, Tony Curtis, and Marilyn Monroe, 'The Court Jester' with Danny Kaye, 'The Gods Must Be Crazy' and the before mentioned 'Waking Ned Devine'. Others I like are 'Second Hand Lions' with two of my favorites, Robert Duval and Michael Caine, 'Billy Elliot', 'The World's Fastest Indian' with Anthony Hopkins.
Anthony Hopkins and Robert Duval are unequaled in acting ability. They can do anything. Can you picture Anthony Hopkins as Zorro?! Well, he made me believe it! Anyway, this is just a small portion of what I like....(did I put any of you to sleep yet?) I can't leave without mentioning that I LOVE anything Star Trek.
An excellent, funny movie, to me was The Three Kings who go out to get steal a huge amount of Kuwaiti Gold after the first Gulf War -- only they end up having to help all the people in desperate straits after the war. It is funny a caper move about 3 bad guys gone good -- accidentally.
The other one along those lines is Sahara, a preposterous movie about finding the submarine built by the Confederacy in Mali. It is a total spoof of adventure thrillers and even spoofs certain scenes that come from westerns. Silly but great fun. And I am not sure I would have been so into it if I hadn't read an article in some respectable newspaper somewhere about some guys who were trying to do just that before the movie came out.
If you liked Three Kings, which I enjoyed, you might also like In Bruges.
I did see Bruges. It was wonderful and hilarious in a very black sort of way. The author and screen writer is one DH and I have followed for a long time in the theater. He took an active part in directing Bruges and did a wonderful job, I think.
MNotM - if you like Michael Caine, you should see this adventure movie he made with Sean Connery, called "The Man Who Would Be King". Based on a Rudyard Kipling story, and directed by John Huston, it's about a couple of scoundrel soldiers who adventure into the mountains of Kafiristan seeking a city of gold.
One of the best movies that nobody has ever heard of, IMHO. They are both great in the film and look like they enjoyed making it together. http://www.netflix.com/Movie/The_Man_Who_Would_Be_King/736652?trkid=222336&lnkctr=srchrd-sr&strkid=2034530628_0_0
Thanks for the link. I just added it to my queue. I have heard good things about it from others as well.
Thanks ceceoh, I will add it to my list also. My almost ten year old grandaughter just spent over a week with me and I introduced her to Kyle XY. We had so much fun arguring about who was the hottest! I did have to explain a few things to her....... I've also been reading Artemis Fowl to her.
The gods must be crazy is one of my favorites. Too funny. My brother told me to watch it and at first I thought he was crazy. Ha.
A Caine film that I like is Deathtrap.
I don't think I saw the movie of Deathtrap, but I did see the play at our local little theater. Pretty good thriller. Our production left something to be desired though.
Last night I watched Tuya's Marriage which is a fascinating movie, made in Mongolia and by, I gather, Mongolians. It is the story of Tuya and her husband and two children out on the plains of Mongolia. The husband was disabled while digging a well so Tuya wouldn't have to haul water for her family and over 30 sheep. The husband and his sister suggest she divorce her husband and remarry a man who will take care of her and her children. The husband would live with her sister. They do. Suitors come from miles around because Tuya is attractive and very hard working at home and with the animals. The trouble Tuya will not go to another husband unless she can bring her current husband with her. Needless to say, the suitors don't go for that and a long and interesting plot unfolds. Costumes, customs, camels and scenery are all very interesting and the plot is just wild, though the movie moves slowly. Still I would recommend it, especially if you liked Weeping Camel.
I hadn't heard of that one, but I did like Weeping Camel.
The ending was very confusing, but I liked it. It was so human.
I watched one yesterday called Mongol. About Ghengis Khan's early life. Funny we both watched Mongolian movies. ☺

text: Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$section_nr in /srv/www/html/sustainabledevelopment.un.org/root/content.php on line 304 The business sector, led by corporations, has an increasingly prominent role in international development. Although rapidly increasing in recent years, this role has its origins in the same neoliberal ideology that launched what has become today's mantra of "good governance". However, while the "good governance" promoted by Bretton Woods institutions valorises the centrality of business in development and the rolling back of the state, its policy prescriptions do not include an enforceable system for holding corporations to account or a framework that acknowledges the impact of corporate activities on people – who are, due to such impacts, stakeholders in corporations. IBON International believes the creation of a system that upholds the wider interests of stakeholders above the narrow interests of shareholders and enforces corporate accountability in line with international human rights standards and codes of best practice. This must underpin any governance objective agreed under the Post-2015 Agenda. .:.

As a Sony Artisan at Sony Kando 1.0, I was able to play with the new Sony 100-400/4.5-5.6 G Master. I love the range an dbeing able to shoot full length and tight portraits easily. The lens is fairly compact for such a long lens and is crazy sharp! I was very impressed with the lens and I am looking forward to buying one when they become available!

Triumph TR3 from TS13046, TR3A-250 Rear Drum Brakes - Girling
The History: TR3 from TS13046 and TR3A to TS 56376 (approx) was fitted with Girling 10" x 2 1/4" brakes at the rear. From TR3A TS56377 (approx) Girling 9" x 1 3/4" brakes were fitted. The latter remained constant through TR3B, TR4 , TR4A, TR250, TR5, TR6. Wheel cylinder piston diameters changed from 3/4" to 5/8" to 0.7". Always ensure cylinder piston diameters match left to right to ensure balanced braking. The diameter of wheel cylinders is changed to vary the force applied to the brake shoes compared to the effort on the front brakes (brake balance). The other variable in this is the shoe friction material performance.
