Since I came to Ohio in the early eighties, several names have brought honor and respect to Cleveland far beyond its borders and made me proud to be an audience member and participant: Ray Shepardson, James Levin, the Silvers, Fred Sternfeld -- and high among those names, Terrence Spivey. Over the years, I have attended many Karamu plays. To name only a few, I was thrilled with Karamu's original productions God's Trombones and Before I Die: The War against Tupac. I sat unable to move after seeing the devastating Ruined, laughed out loud at The Odd Couple and The Bow Wow Club, and was transfixed by the magic of Caroline or Change, Yellowman, and most recently, The Shadow Box. In addition, I was proud to participate in staged readings and the epic The Great White Hope. Mr. Spivey has shared his vision and talents with all of Northeast Ohio. Please, Karamu, do not let internecine politics deprive Cleveland of the gift of Terrence Spivey.

Governmental environmental protection is commonly implemented by specifying a standard value of pollution, measured or actual, not to be exceeded. This article considers the standard for ozone pollution in the United States, interprets it using a hypothesis testing framework, and shows (in a simplified setting) how a statistician could implement this standard. The statistician's implementation is contrasted with the implementation by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Some of the issues raised by these contrasting implementations are illustrated using ozone data from three areas in the United States. This article also examines potential biases in using data collected for standard compliance monitoring purposes to assess the health effects of ozone.

LOGAN held its world premiere at the 67th Berlinale film festival in Berlin with director James Mangold, producers and stars Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart and Dafne Keen, among others. The film opened to amazing reviews, currently sitting at 97% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with 59 reviews.
Many are calling this the Wolverine movie we deserve and Hugh Jackman wanted it no other way. While speaking with the New York Times, Jackman reinstated that he was very serious about making a great film because "There's been a gnawing turmoil that I hadn't really nailed it, fully — either story or performance or whatever. Every film I've ever done, I've had that gnawing doubt. But I have it way less in this one."
Jackman wasn't going to make just any film, as he had strict needs that needed to be met before deciding the film the finale.
"I was a pain in the ass for a lot of people with this movie because it mattered so much to me," he told Fandango. "Even when we started writing this, and even when I asked James Mangold to come on board, I said 'Dude, I don't know if I'm gonna make it.' Unless it's exactly what I want, I prefer to not do it. I couldn't live with it. So this is it."
Check out photos and video from the premiere, including a few Twitter review reactions below.
"Logan" comes to theaters on March 3.

#Logan will be what you want and not what you expect all at once.
— Paul Shirey (@arcticninjapaul) February 17, 2017
I thought LOGAN would be like a Western, but it's closer to Horror. One of the most violent films I've ever seen. Not for the kids AT ALL.
— Jeff Sneider (@TheInSneider) February 17, 2017
Get ready for X-23 to become a household name. I suspect we'll see her again very soon based on how much she'll explode after this #Logan
— Paul Shirey (@arcticninjapaul) February 17, 2017
If #Logan doesn't receive awards buzz, I'd be surprised. Sure, there are "superheroes" in the movie, but it's not a superhero movie at all.
— Gregor Rossino (@GregorRossino) February 17, 2017
A lot of what you see today are noisy commercials for toys, but Logan? Man, Logan is what the old fellas would call a dynamite picture.
— Spencer Perry (@TheSpencerPerry) February 17, 2017
#Logan is great. Who else could play a role for 17 years and go out better than ever? (Both Jackman and Stewart)
— Aaron Couch (@AaronCouch) February 17, 2017
#LOGAN is the darkest, ballsiest, and most nihilistic comic book film I've ever seen. It's also one of the best.
— Alex Welch (@AlexRWelch) February 17, 2017
Logan is good. I'm not sure I've seen a trilogy fall upwards in quality so steeply like that.
— Pickle Da7e! (@Da7e) February 17, 2017
most of LOGAN is half-baked & very dull. but when it works, it works better than any almost any superhero movie ever has. the ending is… A+
— david ehrlich (@davidehrlich) February 17, 2017
#Logan is an example of how the superhero genre can be shaped to fit different tastes, rather than adhering to a standardized template.
— Paul Shirey (@arcticninjapaul) February 17, 2017
#Logan sometimes goes astray & the villains aren't as memorable as they should be, but it redeems itself every time it falls short. #Logan

News Release 08-126
Parasites Outweigh Predators in Pacific Coast Estuaries
Findings have significant ecological and biomedical implications
July 23, 2008
This material is available primarily for archival purposes. Telephone numbers or other contact information may be out of date; please see current contact information at media contacts.
In a study of parasites living in three estuaries on the Pacific coast of California and Baja California, researchers have determined that biomass of these parasites exceeds that of top predators, in some cases by more than 20 times.
Their findings, which could have significant ecological and biomedical implications, appear in this week's issue of the journal Nature.
Biomass is the amount of living matter that exists in a given habitat. It is expressed either as the weight of organisms per unit area or as the volume of organisms per unit volume of habitat.
Until now, scientists have believed that because parasites are microscopic in size they comprised a small fraction of biomass in a habitat, while free-living organisms such as fish, birds and other predators make up the vast majority.
"We quantified the biomass of free-living and parasitic species in three estuaries and discovered that parasites have substantial biomass in these ecosystems," said Armand Kuris, a zoologist at the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB), and a lead author of the paper.
"Parasites have as much, or even more, biomass than other important groups of animals--like birds, fish and crabs," said Ryan Hechinger, a marine scientist at UCSB and co-lead author of the paper.
The results are part of a study supported the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health through the agencies' joint Ecology of Infectious Diseases (EID) Program.
"Unlike large animals, such as birds, parasites are tiny and often easy to overlook," said Sam Scheiner, NSF program director for EID, co-funded by NSF's Directorates for Biological Sciences and Geosciences. "These results will cause ecologists and other scientists to completely reconsider their views."
Other principal investigators include Kevin Lafferty, a marine ecologist with the United States Geological Survey and Andrew Dobson, an ecologist and evolutionary biologist at Princeton University, as well as Leopoldina Aguirre-Macedo, of the Centro de Investigación y Estudios Avanzados Unidad Mérida, and Mark Torchin, with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute.
The researchers quantified parasites and free-living organisms in the Carpinteria Salt Marsh in California, and in the Bahia San Quintín and Estero de Punta Banda estuaries in Baja California. Their study included 199 species of free-living animals, 15 species of free-living vascular plants, and 138 species of parasites.
"A lot of work we've done has suggested that parasites are important in ecosystems," said Lafferty. "But no one's actually looked at them as a group throughout an ecosystem."
"Also, no one's considered parasites from the perspective of how much they weigh, because it's always been assumed they weigh almost nothing," he said. "Now we know that's not true."
For example, in an estuary there are more kilograms of trematode worms--parasites--than kilograms of birds, the scientists found.
The study's results have a potential impact on the perceived role of parasites in the ecosystem. From an ecological perspective, parasites serve both as regulators to prevent species from becoming numerically dominant, and as indicators of the health of a particular ecosystem.
"No one debates whether it's important for ensuring human welfare to understand how ecosystems work," said Hechinger. "How can we understand something without accounting for its major parts?"
According to Kuris, understanding the enormity of parasite biomass and the burden it places on available hosts could lead to new strategies in the management of infectious diseases.
Treatment protocols might put greater emphasis on enhancing the host's ability to defend itself against parasitic disease and slow the rate of energy uptake by the parasites and pathogens.
"The total amount of energy flow in ecosystems due to infectious processes must be enormous--even greater than we'd expect given the large parasite biomass," Kuris said. "The amount of energy going into host tissue repair and replenishment is also huge."
Researchers are finding astounding numbers of parasites in Pacific coast estuaries.

Pretoria - Violent protests near Brits that led to the petrol bombing of a police vehicle were initiated by disgruntled ANC members, a Madibeng municipality spokesperson claimed on Tuesday.
David Masike, spokesperson for Madibeng mayor Poppy Magongoa, said ANC members not selected to stand in the May 18 local government election were behind the unrest.
"We know who exactly is behind those protests. Those are members of the ANC who could not make it onto the party's candidates list," he said.
"This whole thing [protests] is not about service delivery only, people are being instigated to protest."
On Monday night an armoured police vehicle, commonly known as a Nyala, was petrol bombed during a violent service delivery protests in Oukasi, North West.
Police said the vehicle had entered Oukasi to help control rioting when residents barricaded streets with rocks and burning tyres. They were demanding water and electricity.
Protesters threw a petrol bomb at the Nyala and it exploded, causing damage to the inside of the vehicle. No police officers were injured.
Reports also indicated that a shop was looted and burnt on the same night.
Police spokesperson Captain Aafje Botma said the township was calm late on Tuesday.
She said police information was that the protests had erupted after the municipality had failed to respond to a memorandum of demands.
Masike denied that residents' demands were not being met.
He said the municipality was trying to address the protesters' demands, but that most of the problems in the area were "inherited" from the previous administration.
"We cannot be expected to have erased all the problems in the five months we've been in office. We are ready to engage and discuss with the community," Masike said.
"There are many projects underway to improve the lives of our people. We will be appointing a contractor soon for the electrification project. The people leading the protests were once councillors who now seek to destabilise the municipality."
He said there had been meetings with the protesters on Tuesday, and a follow-up meeting was set for November 9.
In June, the Beeld newspaper reported that the municipality was renting a BMW at R2 025 a day for the executive mayor.
This arrangement was done while the mayor's Range Rover was having some problems.
Madibeng municipality was placed under administration by the North West provincial government in March 2010.
This administration ended when the new municipal council took over after the May local government elections.

New beauty dish for our studio
What do you do when you have a new light modifier? You find the closest, almost always willing, person to take head shots of. Last week we purchased a 22′ beauty dish for our studio strobes to get the most out of our head shot and modelling sessions.
When used up close, the beauty dish provides a very focused light source without a hot spot in the middle. It delivers a semi-hard light – softer than an on-camera flash or strobe unit, but harder than a softbox. The beauty dish provides a concentrated light source where the center is the brightest and the light gently falls off at the edges.
Enough with the technical, blah blah. What does it mean for you? It means even better portrait, head shot and modelling photos for you.
Here is Seana, an impromptu late night photo session using the new beauty dish on our strobe.
If you're ready for a new beauty head shot for work, modelling, actor or may perhaps pleasure, give us a shout. Click the contact button and send us an email.

12 Books to Help Kids Overcome Test AnxietyMarch 6, 2017
Do you know a child that underperforms on tests no matter how much they study and prepare? Do they struggle to concentrate during exams because they are preoccupied with thoughts of failing? Do they find it difficult to recall information that previously came to them with ease? If this sounds like a child you know, they might be experiencing test anxiety. Although it's normal for kids to feel some degree of anxiety about taking a test, when that anxiety impedes their ability to perform, test anxiety is the likely culprit. Read More »
Bibliotherapy and DiversityJanuary 3, 2017
Finding the Words: Bibliotherapy & Diversity
How does one "teach" others to be respectable citizens who appreciate and even celebrate the unique qualities of others? Is it possible to teach that in a lesson? Most would argue that being a model of such behavior is a crucial first step. The way we educators talk about and react to others will have the greatest impact on our youth. They are watching us. They can spot a fake. They will know if we practice what we preach. So, before we even begin trying to teach cultural competency, we have to live it. But, we can do better than live it. We can CELEBRATE it.
Bully NationOctober 17, 2016
The B-Word
by Laurie P. Mendoza, MA, CAGS
I'd like to recommend a book that has changed the way I look at the issue of bullying and aggression at my school. Turn on the news, listen to discussions among parents and school staff, or think of how often kids say to you, "He's bullying me!" It seems that we're in the middle of a bullying epidemic, doesn't it?
It may seem that way, but we're not.
In her book Bully Nation, Susan Eva Porter totally dismantles the widely-accepted notion that kids are under siege from bullies 24/7. While she provides a number of good reasons why we have that impression, one is so obvious that I can't believe it never occurred to me: the definition of bullying has expanded hugely in the last ten years or so.
Bullying used to be defined as some form of coercion—forcing someone, usually smaller, to do something they didn't want to do—often via physical force. It was pretty clear, and most people could agree if something constituted bullying or not. But in the last decade behaviors that used to be considered just plain mean or even routine kid stuff are now being called bullying. Read More »

The DS-3800 is the best choice for the serious Bowhunter or 3D Shooter, a no compromise bow with speed to burn. The speed this bow is capable of makes judging distance a less critical part of the equation. Some shooters have found that when they switch to the DS-3800, they can drop down in bow weight and still shoot the same arrows faster and flatter. One of the main features that sets the DS-3800 apart from the rest of the crowd is its shootabilty. With its smooth draw cycle, forgiving valley, and dampened shooting characteristics, Darton has truly created "A Muscle Bow with Manners".

An interest-free loan scheme aimed at supporting town centre regeneration within three key town centres In Powys has been boosted by an extra one million pound, the county council has announced.
Powys County Council has secured an extra £1million from the Welsh Government's Town Centre Loan Scheme, which was introduced to improve town centres in Wales. Not only does the loan support town centre regeneration, it is hoped it will develop them as vibrant and viable places.
The interest-free loans, which can be used within the town centres of Llandrindod Wells, Newtown and Brecon over the scheme's 15-year duration, is to reduce the number of vacant, underutilised and redundant sites and premises within the town centres.
The loans can be used for a range of regeneration projects including brownfield site development to returning empty business/residential units back into use.
The extra money follows on from the £1.25m that the council successfully secured in 2015, which is now being used to returning 37 residential and one business unit back into use in Newtown and Llandrindod Wells.
The loans are available to residential and commercial property owners and are repayable within five years. They will then be 'recycled' for use on other projects. This 15-year scheme focusses on business units and affordable housing.
Cllr Tony Thomas, Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Planning, said:
"I'm delighted that we have secured an additional £1m as part of the Town Centre Loan Scheme. "Empty and underutilised properties in town centres can be an eye sore but this scheme is the type of initiative that will invigorate our towns and encourage investment into the county. The scheme will support the diversification of town centres and also encourage more sustainable uses of empty sites and premises such as residential, leisure or for key services. "I'm pleased that the Welsh Government is tackling this issue. We will continue to work closely with the Welsh Government and our other partners to deliver real economic benefits for the Powys economy."

On the Situation of Latin American Migrants
IWL Declaration on the Situation of Latin American Migrants
Stop the repression of immigrants in the United States!
For an immediate halt to the deportations!
For the Mexican government to stop its repressive policies against Central American migrants!
The crisis of the Central American migrants trying to reach the United States has exploded in the news in recent months, especially over the tragedy of the unaccompanied children that are being detained in the U.S. and that are in the process of being deported.
While immigration is already part of the lives of millions of families from Mexico and Central America, especially Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, the number of migrant children accompanied by an adult has increased considerably. From October 2013 to now, there have been more than 58,000 children deported, and the prognosis is that it will reach 70,000 by the of the year. This number is 60% more than the previous year, and when compared to previous years it grew more than 100%.
But what is striking is not only the number of children, but the conditions they face when being caught on U.S. soil: thousands sleep on the floor, inside cages. There are also reports of children who do not receive legal aid to face deportation proceedings, while others have been subjected to ill-treatment by border agents. Should children have family in the U.S., they should be reunited with their family before facing deportation proceedings, which does not always happen.
Barack Obama characterized the situation as a 'humanitarian crisis'. The Central American presidents and other officials, including Pope Francisco, join him in this discourse. Many present poverty and violence that these children face in their countries of origin as the causes of this crisis. What they do not say is that the one responsible for this situation is U.S. imperialism, along with the submissive complicity of local governments.
Semi-colonies of U.S. Imperialism
The situation that Latin American and Mesoamerican countries live is mainly a result of the policy of colonization of the region by U.S. imperialism. The looting carried out by the United States through free trade agreements, foreign debts, the "Free Zones", & their security policies are largely responsible for the poverty and violence that exists in these countries.
With the approval of the FTAs, countries in Latin America, especially the weakest like Central America, import much more products which, besides meaning a blow to the domestic industry itself, generates more fiscal deficits in all of them. One of the most serious consequences of these imports is the crisis of agricultural production in Central America that has failed to meet the lower prices of imported food, which generates the abandonment of fields and increased migration to Central America.
By using Free Zones, transnational firms pay wages far below what the workers in the country of their headquarters are paid. They are exempt from paying taxes on imports, exports and services, and thus generate huge losses in revenue for the host countries. To top it off, they close their doors when they see fit to move to another country where they can better exploit workers and increase their profits.
Another clear expression of the dependence is the external debt reaching about one third of the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the Central American countries. The debts and their interests do not stop growing, and these countries become increasingly dependent on foreign capital.
Poverty, Violence, and Migration
Poverty is the other side of the coin. In Central America, there are 26.5 million people living in poverty, of which 15% are in extreme poverty. The poorest country in the region is Honduras, with 65% of its population in that condition. It is followed by Guatemala and El Salvador, where half the population is poor. In Mexico it is 45.5%.
In the case of Honduras, this year's poverty was made worse by the drought in Central America. The region supplies 60% of domestic demand for grain in the country and it has lost half of the crops and the entire south. The government, in its policy of submission to imperialism primarily through FTAs, opened the market, and this led to the ruin of small producers. Furthermore, the government has not invested in infrastructure projects such as irrigation.
Because they are on the drug trafficking route to the United States, Mexico and Central America have high rates of violence. The northern triangle of Central America, consisting of Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, is the most violent region in the world, totaling 14,989 homicides in 2013. Honduras is considered the most violent country in the world, with 90.4 homicides per 100 thousand inhabitants. El Salvador and Guatemala have an average of 40 homicides per 100 thousand inhabitants.
Looking to escape poverty and violence, millions of Central Americans have already emigrated. 1.5 million Guatemalans live abroad, of which 1.3 million are in the USA. In the case of Salvadorians, there are almost 3 million living abroad, of which about 2.7 million are located in the USA. It is noteworthy to point out that in El Salvador there are 6.2 million people living there, or which means that one third of Salvadoreans live outside the country. Just over 1 million Hondurans live in the USA, but there are whole villages in Honduras that have migrated to escape poverty and now the trend is for an increase of the exodus from the most violent cities, such as San Pedro Sula. Mexicans are the majority of immigrants in the United States, reaching 11.4 million. A huge sector of these Latin American immigrants in the United States are undocumented.
Those who migrate do so to ensure the survival of their families that are left behind in the countries of origin, and thus makes dollar remittances an important contribution to the local economy. They represent more than 15% of the GDP in El Salvador and Honduras, and 10% in Guatemala. In Mexico, despite being the number one recipient of remittances in Latin America, only 2% of GDP are remittances.
The large number of children who migrate do so due to the conditions of women workers, who are the most over-exploited sector- both among the working class of their countries and among undocumented migrants living in the United States. From October 2013 to the present, some 39,000 migrant mothers have been captured with their children, many of them pregnant. Many unaccompanied children migrating try to meet their mothers who working undocumented in the U.S.
This sector is the most vulnerable to violence in the path of migration. Along the way, many of these women and infants are victims of sexual violence, organ trafficking and labor exploitation of all kinds, especially forced prostitution and trafficking abuse. According to civil society organizations in the USA, recent data shows that 80% of girls who immigrate from Central America that are unaccompanied suffer from sexual abuse on their way to the USA.
Migration to the U.S. and Deportations
In the United States, of the 21 million immigrants from Latin America, its calculated that 54.2% come from Mexico and 14.4% from Central America. Today, more than 11 million undocumented immigrants live in the country which contains over 40 million people. Of these, 1 million are children. The United States deported a total of 368,644 people in 2013. The majority were deported to Mexico.
The 200,000 immigrants who cross Mexico each year in route to the United States face situations such as kidnapping, rape, extortion, human trafficking, murder, without the same Mexican government intervening on their behalf. Actually, the Mexican government continues the same logic of the American government and deports thousands of immigrants from their country on their way to America. From January to March 2014, Mexico deported 21,366 Central Americans. In 2013, it was 77,756. This also means the Mexican government deports the migrant children. From 2008 to 2014 so far, Mexico has deported more than 40,000 children, 26,000 of them unaccompanied. Many migrants end up staying in this country, where they suffer labor exploitation and other worst violations often. Like Mexicans in the United States!
Obama's Policy
Barack Obama has made Congress a request for 3.7 billion dollars to supposedly alleviate the situation. However, this allocation will be dedicated mostly to more investment in security, that is, more repression, which goes in the opposite direction to resolve the situation created by the massive migration.
The fate of these resources clearly demonstrates these policies. Of that figure, 200 million will be allocated to programs of "social development and security" in Mexico and Central America. Everything else will be used to accelerate the deportation hearings, build more detention centers for immigrant families, increase border enforcement (divided between the Departments of State, Safety, Health, Justice and Human Services).
The Obama administration has broken records for deporting immigrants, about two million since 2009. Some migrants are deported just arriving in the country, being caught by the Border Patrol. Others are deported after years or decades of living without papers. Obama's policy with the Deferred Action Program (2012) was limited to a moratorium to stop deportations of immigrants up to 31 years of age, who entered the country before 2007 as children.
Here, the policy of the Obama administration is no different from the various governments of American imperialism. The brutal repression of immigrants is a policy that uses immigration to overwork immigrants, mainly Latino workers but also to native workers.
At different periods, imperialism encouraged immigration from Latin American countries to the United States. These workers are critical to take unskilled jobs, such as construction, cleaning, farm work, home, waiters etc. Imperialism needs, especially now, labor living under a condition of overexploitation to maintain levels of accumulation, surplus, and profits of the American bourgeoisie. Furthermore, immigrants, mainly undocumented, meet another role: as they are forced to accept any job and earn less than legalized workers, and end up pushing wages of American workers down.
The repression of immigrants and deportations are a way to prevent migration from becoming uncontrollable. Moreover, the ongoing terror against the undocumented, functions as a form of social repression. It ensures that migrants accept the system, thus suffering overexploitation. For this reason, Obama does not approve a law to legalize the status of millions of undocumented workers, because it would mean giving them basic rights (minimum wage, social security and others) which would represent for imperialism a huge expense the bourgeoisie are not willing to cover.
In this context, Obama tries to expedite the deportation of children and young people, changing a 2008 law banning the immediate deportation of immigrants from countries not bordering USA. They must go through the due process of deportation. Democrats are against it, while Republicans demand it as a condition of approving the request of millions by the president. While Obama presents his populist policies like the current immigration reform bill, the Democrats and Republicans accuse each other of the current situation. Meanwhile, immigrants are still being deported, and those who remain, remain without rights to legalization.
The governments of Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala have already requested support from the United States and Mexico and held meetings with Obama. They discuss the creation of a regional plan in order to reduce the migration of children. This plan is limited to increase border control and develop a campaign of "conviction" of children and young people not to migrate.
The United States government also argues that, to avoid migration, it is necessary to further promote investment and job creation in the Central American countries with market-opening measures or borrowing. All governments in the region are implementing these policies, as is the case in FOMILENIO in El Salvador, Ciudades Modelo in Honduras and the policy of agro-businesses in all these countries. However, experience has shown that these policies further worsen the situation and exacerbate the conditions that make thousands of Central Americans migrating continue.
The security problem is also presented. The president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, said a regional initiative based on the experience of Plan Colombia to eradicate organized crime, drug trafficking and violence is necessary. That is, the output would be the further militarization and repression of these countries that they are already subjected to.
The government of Mexico, with its president Enrique Peña Nieto, also takes the lead in this policy by stating that the "solution" is to increase the control of its borders in the south to prevent immigrants from entering this country and hence , take the route to USA. The Southern Frontier Program supported the president of Guatemala, Otto Pérez.
The strict and repressive immigration policy is not going to stop the migration of thousands of children and young people from Mexico and Central America. They do not leave their countries by choice, but because of everyday situation of fleeing violence and poverty. Many who currently migrate go to find their families in the United States who, after time there, are able to bring their children by paying thousands of dollars to smugglers (coyotes) to take them to the border.
Let's Fight for the Defense of Immigrants
Mainstream media only focus on the phenomenon of migration and give it a name of humanitarian crisis, indeed it is, but this is the logical consequence of the deplorable living conditions affecting our population, imposed by capitalist exploitation which aims to ensure increase the profits of transnational capital and the native bourgeoisie.
The unity of all Central American, Mexican and U.S. workers in defense of immigrants is required. We demand the government of the United States to stop the deportations and repression of undocumented immigrants, especially children who come unaccompanied, that they be released and delivered to their families. We demand that all undocumented immigrants be legalized immediately, and that all are entitled to documentation.
We also demand the Mexican government ensure passage and the safety of migrants from its southern border to the northern border, without the requiring passport from their country of origin or Mexican visa to stay in its territory.
The solution to the problem of immigration begins with the liberation of Latin American countries from the hold of U.S. imperialism and exploitation, which subjugates our people. That means, among other things, that our countries begin by refusing to pay foreign debts, break free trade treaties, abolish the zones and invest the resources generated by these measures to invest in jobs, health care and education. This is the first essential step, as the LIT-CI, we affirm that the problem of forced migrations can only be ultimately resolved when there are no borders between countries, when free movement of workers and when all peoples can live in a society without exploited and exploiters, i.e. a global socialist society.
- No to deportations!
- No repression, detention, imprisonment and ill-treatment of immigrants!
- That children are released and handed over to their families!
- Immediate legalization for all immigrants in United States! Papers (Documentation) for all!
- No to repressive laws against immigrants and no to Obama's immigration "reform" bill!
- Down the wall of shame and all repressive actions on the border!
- End of NAFTA, CAFTA and all free trade zones/agreements! No to paying the debt!
- That the Mexican Government guarantee the passage and the safety of migrants from its southern border to the northern border!

Marcello Pera, the President of the Italian Senate (Second Chamber of the Italian Parliament), gave a small lesson of philosophy, religion and multiculturalism to the participants of the annual meeting of the conservative Catholic organization Comunione e liberazione (CL) that is currently taking place in Rimini, Italy.
The crux of Pera's speech went against, what he branded as "ideology of multiculturalism and relativism". He warned of a moral crisis of the western (Christian) world, criticized the lack of invocation of Christian values in the European constitution, criticized the legalization of homosexual marriages in Spain, branded the use of arms against fundamentalists who want to destroy our way of life as legitimate ("we are at war", he said), claimed that the uncontrolled immigration to Europe must stop, because if not our society will going inevitably to transform itself into a society of "mongrels". His words took a surprisingly different tone, when compared with the reconciliation speech of the new Pope Benedict XVI, delivered at the world meeting of the catholic youth in Köln, Germany.
As far as the partisans of the CL, they welcomed the words of the Italian Christian democrat politician. They interrupted him with applauding as far as 34 times.
What has the academic community have to say to his interpretation of political philosophy is another issue. Just to give several illustrative examples of Pera's shocking interpretation of some contemporary Western philosophers work. He mentioned "the difficult enterprise of rendering clear the philosophical thought of Jürgen Habermas". This is probably to the fact that Pera does not seem to understand subtle arguments. Furthermore, he calls for abandoning of the concept of "open society" of Karl Popper, and finally and most surprisingly, he proposes to the CL meeting (and the world and Italy) the night watchman, minimal state of Robert Nozick. It is difficult to situate Nozick and the libertarian thought in the psychological mindset of the teocons (note the difference with neocons), on many accounts (if not all) Nozick would disagree (if he were to be alive) with the model of state and society proposed by Pera. Doubtfully did Pera read Nozick, or maybe he did, but then for him it is "difficult enterprise" to understand any model of political philosophy. What is probably here at stake is that Pera (and CL, not surprisingly so) want to promote a combination of right wing economic ideology and theological conservativism. This is probably what pushes them to offer an unfair partial presentation of Nozick's work by putting an accent on property oriented elements of Nozick's work and not on his libertarianism overall. If one was to read Nozick honestly then he would have to conclude that two aspects of his work go hand in hand (if one would be radical in interpreting Nozick, one could claim that his theory is more about personal liberties and less about property but this is an argument probably to subtle for Pera). Nozick does not think that the business of his minimal state is to impose any restrictions on gay marriages, that the minimal state should restrict immigration, or that the minimal state should invoke the principles of a religion in its constitutive act. If Nozick, in heaven or hell (I believe unlike many left-wingers who believe in such theological concepts, that he is definitely in heaven), was listening to Pera's speech, he would be insulted and surprised by the putting of his work into the context of a dubious and confusing political agenda proposed by Pera.

Travis Kalanick, chief executive officer of San Francisco-based Uber Technologies is currently in Europe as he decided to attend the annual Digital Life Design conference in Munich, Germany in order to speak with technology investors.
Uber Technologies has grown from a startup company to be valued today at $40 billion, as the car-sharing service provider is keen on expanding its presence all around the world. Met with disbelief and even open opposition in many parts of the world, Uber seeks to crack the European market – one of the largest when it comes to transportation services – even as pressure comes from disgruntled taxi and limousine operators. Additionally, increased regulatory scrutiny has brought numerous bans and restrictions, forcing the company to sometimes change its business model in order to survive.
The Bavarian metropolis is just the beginning of Kalanick's European tour- with the CEO promising to add 50,000 jobs in Europe if cities from Milan to Madrid allow his car-riding service the space to grow. He will follow up with a visit to Brussels later this week – in order to meet with European Union officials and discuss the challenges faced by the company as it seeks regional expansion. The top executive also said he'll be looking for partnerships with European cities in 2015, similar to the one they have with Boston's municipality on applications that span from traffic to pollution control. Facing numerous bans in cities across Europe, Uber has sometimes sacrificed its core business model, even allowing users to find taxis, even if it's a far less reliable source of revenue.

This is the fifth in a series of entries celebrating infrastructure achievements in the United States.
What: The Brooklyn Bridge is a suspension bridge that connects the New York City boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn over the East River.
When: Construction of the bridge began in 1870. The Brooklyn Bridge opened for service in 1883.
Why: The bridge was created to link the two then-growing cities of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Cost: $15.1 million; more than twice the original estimate of $7 million.
- Total Length: 5,989 feet
- Width: 85 feet
- Longest span: 1,595.6 feet
Interesting facts: The Brooklyn Bridge, when completed in 1883, stood as the longest suspension bridge in the world. A record it held until 1903.
Originally referred to as the New York and Brooklyn Bridge, as well as the East River Bridge, it was dubbed "the Brooklyn Bridge" in an 1867 letter to the editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. The name was officially adopted by the city government in 1915.
One week after opening, a rumor that the bridge was going to collapse caused a stampede that crushed and killed at least ten people. To prove the bridge's strength, P.T. Barnum marched a parade of 21 elephants across it.

Where Is Your Heart ?
By Kamasirna Land 0 comments
Where Is Your Heart ?
Where Is Your Heart ?
A dangerous thing !
Confusing Good with evil, and evil with Good !
Hearts change constantly.
"Verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearth find rest !" 13/28
Robbanaa laa tujighquluubanaa ba'da'id hadaitanaa wahablanaa milladunkarohmah innaka antal wahhaab.
"Our Lord ! Cause not our hearts to stray after Thou has guided us, and bestow upon us mercy from Thy presence. Lo ! Thou,only thou art the besthower" 4/8
I'am asking YOU !
Where Is Your Heart ?
Where is it ?
Long time ago,it was used to say: "Your heart is bound to the treasures and money yau've got"
One fellow's heart is bound to the jewelry he bought for his wife.
And another fellow's heart is stuck to the money he has deposited in some Bank.
Whereas a third fellow's heart is bound to the lost he has sustained in stock exchange.
That was case before,but frankly it is now much worse.
Where Is Your Heart ?
Is it with your woman ,playing with it like a toy?
What have you done with it ?
Hearts are inconstant; they change each hour like a feather blown by the win turning it upside-down.
Your heart condition now is different from the one you've had an hour ago,and it will certainly differ after an hour and so on.
A heart is labeled "inconstant" because of its changeable nature.
To confirm to God's religion is a serious and elevated matter because it is directly related to the heart which is in turn inconstant.
May almighty confirm our hearths to follow the religion properly; Seeking his obedience till the day of judgment.
He is all-fowerful.
My brother,dear one.
Let us slow down and question our selves tonight ;" Which heart is yours?"
Is it still fettered to lust?
Poor you ! Are you still preoccupied with your belly and lust?
Poor you ! Are yaou still living for appearances and worldly pleasures?!
P o o r y o u !
P o o r y o u !
Poor you !
Isn't it time for your heart to get released to the open space of worship.
Poor you ! Are yaou still content with a worldly richness or a transient lust?
Thinking not of your destiny!
If elements of faith dominate,the heart will become healthy,by God's Grace
Whereas if elements of hypocrisy dominate,the heart will become regressed.
"The regression of the heart"
"The regression of the heart"
"The regression of the heart"
It means confusing good with evil,and evil with Good.
Without any distinction whatsoever between the two.
i.e. indifference to good and evil.
Resist God in that He orders,and care less for His commands like righteousness toward the parents.
No more does he establish worship or pay the poor-due.
God say;"For he neither trusted nor prayed but he denied and flouted". (75/31-32}
This kind of heart is the one we call "a Regressed Heart" which is one of the most important earthly punishments for those who disobey.
Many persons have such regressed hearts which are extremely cold and merciless.
That if one ef them sees a blind man trying to cross the street he will not try to help him.
He may also commit sins fearing neither God nor people. God forbid!
This is what a regressed heart is all about!
I s t h i s Y O U R H E A R T……………???
I s t h i s Y O U R H E A R T…….???
Is this YOUR HEART…?
Why are you fleeing away?
Is this really Your heart………………….?
Take it is easy,calm down,now tell me frankly..
I s t h i s Y O U R H E A R T……………???
I s t h i s Y O U R H E A R T…….???
Is this YOUR HEART…?
Do you have an earthly heart which is satisfied when all your wishes are granted,and discontent when they are not?!!!
Is this really your heart……………………?
A heart searching only for a thing to eat. A car to drive,and a place to visit?
Caring only how,when and where to sleep!
Thinking merely of the ones your will befriend!
Is this You?
Poor you! What a regressed heart you have!
Hasn't your heart felt the sweetness of prostration; being close to Him.
For what have you sold all these priceless things?
You People who are desperate,bored,weary,lost,and in pain.
Haven't I told you we long for opening a hospital for curing with belief!
Yes,curing with belief!
W i t h b e l I e f !
W i t h b e l I e f !
With belief !
We are in need of such a thing.
"Verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest!" 13/28
People who complain that their hearts are not at rest.
That their Hearts are in pain; worrying about life,children and everything else.
No! there is but a sole cure for all these things.
"Verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest!" 13/28
You heart will not pind rest unless you remember God.
Do you want you heart to find rest and be filled with goodness ; caring not for earthly life whatsoever?
Fill you heart with thr remembrance of God.
"Verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest!" 13/28
At this moment. Let us make a promise of commitment.
Here is my hand……
A promise of commitment.
Right now,and before God,hand in hand.
Make a covenant that you will follow the path to God
What are you waiting for ?
Give me your hand and come towards Him.
The Prophet (PBUH) Said:"Beware! There is piece of flesh in the body if it becomes good(reformed) the whole body becomes good but if it gets spoilt the whole body gets spoilt and that is the heart". Agreed upon,i.e.,related by both Bukhari and Muslim.

2014 Nissan Leaf electric car on the roads of Thimphu, BhutanEnlarge Photo
2014 Nissan Leaf
The distinctive Leaf is the world's best-selling electric car, with more than 100,000 delivered as of early this year. Nissan has placed a bigger bet on battery electric cars than any other established automaker, and seems determined to make the Leaf work--though there have been hiccups aplenty in the process.
- How far you can go on electricity: 84 miles (EPA)
- List price (before any incentives): $29,830 (with delivery)
- Where you can buy it: Throughout the country
- How many have been sold/leased: 44,800 (as of Feb 28)
- The buzz on it: Does everything you expect a car to do, if you can live with range that varies from 50 to 90 miles depending on speed, temperature, driving style, and a host of other factors. The most popular and prevalent battery-electric car in the country.
2014 Tesla Model SEnlarge Photo
2014 Tesla Model S
The Tesla Model S battery-electric luxury sport sedan is remarkable in any number of ways, from its performance (as low as 4.1 seconds from 0 to 60 mph) to the company's expanding network of DC fast-charging Supercharger locations that can recharge the car's battery to 80 percent in as little as 20 minutes. The Silicon Valley startup automaker has broken many rules of the auto industry, but it's succeeded in producing a car that's not just good but has won awards, delivered customer-satisfaction scores as high as any Consumer Reports had seen, and generally shaken up the global auto industry.
- How far you can go on electricity: 208 miles with 60-kWh battery, 265 miles with 85-kWh battery (EPA)
- List price (before any incentives): $69,900
- Where you can buy it: Tesla has showrooms in a number of states, while others have banned it at the behest of established dealerships. Buyers actually purchase the car online; the company then delivers it to their desired location.
- How many have been sold/leased: approximately 23,500 (as of Feb 28)
- The buzz on it: The fastest, sleekest, coolest, and simply best battery-electric vehicle on sale today.
2012 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid - production modelEnlarge Photo
2014 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid
When it went on sale in February 2012, the Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid was the only competitor for the Chevy Volt. Both cars plugged in to run on battery power, with an engine to back up the battery and add range once it was depleted. The trusted Prius hybrid brand (and access to California's carpool lanes) gave it a boost early on, but with many more plug-in hybrids on the market now--every one of them with more electric range--its sales appear to have plateaued lately.
- How far you can go on electricity: 11 miles (EPA)
- Combined gas mileage on gasoline: 50 mpg (EPA)
- List price (before any incentives): $29,990
- Where you can buy it: Toyota dealers certified to
- How many have been sold/leased: 26,700 (as of Feb 28)
- The buzz on it: Lowest electric range of any plug-in, just 11 miles--and you have to baby it to keep it running on battery power even that long. Accelerate hard, and the engine switches on and howls in protest as this heavier Prius accelerates hard. On the other hand, 50 mpg when the battery is depleted is the best of any plug-in hybrid.

Is the false nature of life more evident in everyone than is the true nature of say beauty.
sort by best latest
There is no false nature. Everything has a purpose and a point. Everything that happens to you happens for a reason. You learn from everything you experience and those experiences shape you into the person you are today. Bad stuff will happen but good stuff will happen as well and you just have to spend as much time as you can being happy. If you are happy more of the things in your life will be good.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
Yes, we were created in God's image to become intimate with Him, to know Him, to discover Him and in doing so to discover yourself. True happiness is found in our relationship to God all other pursuits are empty and vain when not put in their proper place behind God. When you discover God (the one true God, as revealed in the Bible) all of life is revealed, joy is your companion, and your unique purpose unfolds each day. You discover that you don't have to be afraid because He has your back, that death is merely a door into another more wonderful life and that your time spent on earth has meaning, that everything you do matters in eternity.
I hope this answers your question.

Ezreal Build Guide by DreadfulNews
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Ezreal Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hello and welcome to my AP (Now with AD Ezreal) Ezreal guide. This is my first guide, so enjoy!
Before we begin...
Avoid being bias, last thing we need is "omg u noob y u play AP wen AD is so mch bettur".
I do play AD ezreal but I prefer to play AP as I find it more fun. I have my reasons and so should you.
Just because I have my own opinions doesn't mean I'm wrong.
Now I've even added an AD Ezreal build. Enjoy.
AP Runes:
These are quite generic for any AP carry. Other runes you could be looking at are:
Greater Mark of Health because you are quite squishy.
Greater Glyph of Magic Penetration and/or Greater Quintessence of Magic Penetration because more mPen never hurts.
Greater Glyph of Scaling Cooldown Reduction helps with cd, if you choose not to buy extra cdr aside from boots.
AD Runes:
Usually I go with flat AD marks/seals/glyphs and ArPen quints for stupidly easy kills early game, but other runes that help are:
Greater Mark of Desolation for even more base ArPen.
Greater Seal of Scaling Mana Regeneration Late game mana regen helps, but if you are constantly getting Blue buff, it isn't much use.
** Just because I build items this way doesn't mean you have to. You don't learn anything if you don't experiment! **
Your core:
Archangel's Staff
Ionian Boots of Lucidity
Lich Bane
Rabadon's Deathcap
I start with a Sapphire Crystal as you have a small mana pool when you are level 1. As soon as you have enough for a Tear of the Goddess go back and buy it. You want to start gaining more mana ASAP (and the mana regen helps too). After buying your Boots of Speed you can either start your Sheen or work on finishing your Archangel's Staff. Usually I'd get Sheen first as it helps me last hit and gain money faster. Then Lich Bane is next on your list, making your Q a much better harassment tool. Then Rabadon's Deathcap for more damage.
The last 2:
So you've built all those and the game is STILL going? Here are some suggestions to items that may help you.
Morello's Evil Tome for the cdr, giving you 40% cdr with boots and masteries.
Rylai's Crystal Scepter for the extra health and passive.
Hextech Gunblade for the Spell vamp and extra AD for more damage on Q and R.
Banshee's Veil gives more mana, health and MR, also with it's passive. Great item if the enemy has quite a lot of CC and/or Magic damage.
Rod of Ages gives more mana for Archangel's passive and health always helps.
Zhonya's Hourglass for quite a bit more AP, armour and a passive that helps, but you shouldn't need. You should never be in the middle of a fight.
Guardian Angel just incase you get caught out by a stun and your team leaves you to die. Usually Ghost + E should be enough for you to escape, unless they have a lot of heavy CC.
Your core:
The Bloodthirster (could be swapped with Hextech Gunblade}
Ionian Boots of Lucidity
Trinity Force
Infinity Edge
Start with a Doran's Blade. Extra AD and HP, you should want this first up. Unless you feel like rushing Sheen, then get a Sapphire Crystal. You have to manage your mana REALLY carefully, you have little mana regen and a small mana pool. After farming/killing the next time you go back should be when you have enough for Sheen and (but not necessarily all the time) Boots of Speed. Your Sheen should add enough mana for now. Time to build more damage! After finishing your Ionian Boots of Lucidity you should save up for a B. F. Sword (unless you're building a Hextech Gunblade instead of a The Bloodthirster, in which case you should buy a Pickaxe and/or Vampiric Scepter). After those items have been built complete your Trinity Force. Then for more Auto-attack damage, build an Infinity Edge. You should have 42% crit from all your items and masteries, which is more then enough.
Any other items used to fill in the spaces are here:
Hextech Gunblade for the Spell vamp and extra AP for more damage on just about everything.
Banshee's Veil gives more mana, health and MR, also with it's passive. Great item if the enemy has quite a lot of CC and/or Magic damage.
The Black Cleaver gives more damage and atkspd. It also has one nice passive that works with your Q. An item I usually build.
Manamune for more AD, mana and mana regen with a passive that gives more AD depending on mana. I don't think I've ever built this item on Ezreal. Other people like it, but it's not really appealing to me.
Madred's Bloodrazor quite a decent item. The on-hit effect works with your Q, but other then that the damage it adds is quite minimal and it costs a ton to make. However Madred's Razor makes last hitting easy. So you can decide.
As AP Ezreal, you are a high damage caster.
Your [Q] Mystic Shot is a long range skillshot that applies your Lich Bane. This is your main harassment tool. It has a low cd and reduces the cd of other skills when you hit with it. It has a stupidly low AP ratio (0.2), but a while ago it didn't even have an AP ratio.
Your [W] Essence Flux is a short range skillshot that deals decent damage and applies an atkspd buff/debuff on allies/enemies respectively. I max this first as his [E] isn't a reliable damage source and I like the sound it makes. The AP ratio is (0.7) which is decent.
Your [E] Arcane Shift is a teleport with a nearest enemy seeking missle. I max this second as the cd drops per level. The AP ratio is (0.75) which is good, but the factor of the missile actually hitting when minions are around is low. If you want to hit someone try using this skill on the person you want to hit. Only problem is that it makes hitting your skillshots much harder to hit.
Your ultimate [R] Trueshot Barrage is a GLOBAL ULTIMATE! YAY! Everyone loves Global ultimates! This means you can snipe someone from across the map with it. Much fun to be had. Theres an AD and AP ratio, and they stack, so both AD and AP benefit. The AP ratio is (0.9) and the AD ratio is (1.0), making a Hextech Gunblade the best way to maximise damage with spare item spaces.
As AD Ezreal...
(just read from above if you don't know what the letters are.)
Your Q is your main attacking skill. Spam it in fights. It also deals on-hit effects. Hitting things with reduces the cd of all other skills by 1 second. Oh, I remember something cool. If the enemy has a Shaco and they have all their boxes in a small area you can shoot your Q and for some reason it will reduce your cd for every box it hits. Usually it doesn't go through things but it works. Well, it did when I last tried.
Your W isn't much use. Atkspd buff for Allies and debuff for enemies. Not much damage but it does help if a Yi or Tryndamere are bashing your face in.
Your E is awesome. Use it cautiously, as from experience, teleporting into brush chasing an enemy can easily get you killed. If you aren't sure it is safe, don't use it to advance on an enemy. HOWEVER, that being said, I max this second because the mana cost doesn't increase per level. It is too good for chasing a bunch of low health enemies.
Your R is still awesome, just it has lower damage then an AP Ezreal. I usually use it to start fights, as having majority of their team with 3/4 of their health is better then waiting until the fight is over and possibly missing them.
If you suck with Skillshots... don't play Ezreal. If you REALLY REALLY REALLY want to play Ezreal, because obviously his /dance is so sexy that you can't resist, practice in some AI games. It just takes practice.
SERIOUSLY. Unless you don't know what it is. You should know, if you don't go find another guide that explains it.
During the laning phase, last hit as much as possible. Don't be afraid to use Q, but strike a balance between last hitting and harassing. You can also harass by E-ing close to them and using W. If your going in for a kill you need to wait for the right time to do so. The best time to go in for a kill is when a creep wave has arrived and started fighting, this way they can't get in the way of your Q when they run back to their tower, which nearly everyone does.
When team fights come around your role is to harass them until they do something. You just want them half dead for your team so your team has the greater advantage. When your team or their team initiates you want to pop your ult, as usually they are all grouped together. You can wait until the fight is over to pop your ult but you get more damage out of firing it to initiate. Anyways your E makes is simplistic to chase people, and with ghost you can't go wrong.
By the time end game comes around you are less effective then before. Nearly everyone would have Magic resist by now, making you less effective. The plan is still the same however, you just need to be a bit more careful now.

I like to keep things simple. In lane, harass with Q. If they are low enough E next to them, Q , Ignite and Auto-attack until death. Chase them partially. Your Q has stupid range. Abuse it. In team fights you want to stay back until all the initial CC has been used. You'll probably die if you get hit by Ashe's Crystal Arrow and get focused. You are good at cleaning up kills, so get your ghost on and chase them like a crazy *****.
Ultimate Placement
So, an enemy has got away with little HP? No problem, just use your ultimate, assuming it's available. Having trouble? Here's a few tips:
1. If you know they are going back to base, hit R where you last saw them. By this I mean hover your mouse over where you saw them and the pretty blue stuff and hit that R. EVEN if the area is covered by fog.
2. If they ganked your team and got away with little hp, shoot your R in the general direction they were going. In my example the enemy Warwick ganked us (Red) and killed one of our team, he then ran with little hp. The black line shows where he was last seen. I ran to the place that would get me the most coverage of where he was and the direction he ran and shot my ult (Yellow). I think I killed him near their blue.
Well, thanks for looking at my guide. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Any tips or improvements for future guides would be appreciated.
