Pennsylvania Attorney's General Gun Control Act and Florida Connection
Kathleen Kane, not even in office for a month, has decided to pick on Florida, and pick on us in a way that strikes at our very essence.
We here in Florida take great pride in the number of concealed weapons permits our state issues. We were the first state to issue them, and today we lead the nation in concealed weapons permits, reaching the mark of 1 million active permits in December.
You see, about 4,000 people who are Pennsylvania residents got their concealed weapons permits from Florida, not from Pennsylvania, where they really live.
They're not doing anything illegal by getting a Florida permit. They're just taking advantage of something known in Pennsylvania as "the Florida loophole."
Elected officials in Pennsylvania apparently aren't as eager to please the NRA as we are here in Florida.
In Pennsylvania, before you get a concealed carry permit you have to supply two non-family references for law enforcement to interview. And applicants can be denied a permit if it's determined that the person's "character and reputation" make him or her "likely to act in a dangerous manner."
Philadelphia is especially tough. The city requires that applicants show up in person to hand in their paperwork to the police department's Gun Permits Unit, which then interviews the applicant. (Source, full story)
Florida Loophole
The 'Florida Loophole' has been the battle cry of several Philadelphia representatives for many years now. They claim that a person that is rejected for a Pennsylvania License To Carry Firearms can easily obtain a Florida 'permit' by mail, hence allowing 'criminal elements' to legally carry a firearm within the state of Pennsylvania via reciprocity between the two states. With very minor exceptions nothing could be further from the truth and the NRA, and Mr. Hohenwarter know it!
Florida's requirements are quite a bit more stringent than Pennsylvania's requirements. To obtain a LTCF in Pennsylvania all one needs to do is visit their local sheriff's department, or police department in larger cities, fill out an application, get photographed and provide two character references. The applicant is then run through the state police PICS system and if they are approved the license is issued.
Florida on the other hand requires an application, photographs, fingerprints and proof of some form of gun safety training. Usually that safety training is in the form of a concealed weapons class performed by a licensed instructor. Once received Florida institutes an extensive background check using the federal NICS system before issuing any permit.
One reason a small minority of gun owners in the Philadelphia area have chosen to apply for Florida carry permits is the undeniable fact that the Philadelphia police refuse to follow Pennsylvania's licensing regulations. There have been untold accounts of Philadelphia police refusing to issue a license for completely arbitrary reasons that have no basis in fact or state law. Secondly Philadelphia has an outlandishly high record of revoked licenses, again many of which have no basis in state laws that regulate such actions. It has gotten so bad in Philadelphia that they have actually recently passed their own 'Florida Loophole' law in direct violation of state law (source).
Minimum CCW Permit Application Requirements in Florida

- You must meet the CITIZENSHIP and RESIDENCY requirements set forth in the law. See the instructions for Question 5 in Section II below for further details.
- You must be able to provide a CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION from a firearms training class or other acceptable training document that evidences your competency with a firearm. See the instructions for Question 6 in Section II below for further details.
- You must not have a DISQUALIFYING CRIMINAL RECORD or other condition that would make you ineligible for licensure.

West Palm Beach Weapons Charges Defense Attorney
At the law firm of Andrew D. Stine, P.A. in West Palm Beach, we represent people arrested on weapons charges, including:
- Carrying a concealed weapon
- Improper exhibition of a weapon
- Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
- Aggravated battery with a deadly weapon
- Possession of a weapon by a convicted felon
- Firing or shooting an object into an occupied building
In Florida, many weapons charges are subject to mandatory minimum prison sentences of at least three years. Even if you are not facing prison time, a conviction on a weapons charge could have a very negative effect on your life. Most employers do not want to hire an employee with a criminal record. Florida landlords conduct background checks of prospective renters, so a conviction could also affect your ability to rent an apartment.
Many weapons cases can be resolved without a criminal record if your lawyer has you immediately perform community service, complete a weapons class, and apologize to the victim (if there was one). It is essential that the state's charging attorney understand who you really are, while providing evidence that shows you are much more than what the law enforcement agent makes you out to be.
Being proactive in a weapons case can often make the difference between facing felony or misdemeanor charges, or whether any charges are filed at all.

The Famous Hermès Kelly Bag02.02.2017
Although the form probably originated in the 1930s, it was thanks to Grace Kelly that the design achieved such great popularity. The Kelly bag has remained one of Hermès' top-selling pieces to this day, and is produced in all manner of fashionable colours and finishes.
Experts can confirm the authenticity of this bag from minute details such as the gold embossed label, the numbers of the locks, and the date. Hermès take great pride in the painstaking attention to detail applied to the manufacture of these handbags, as it justifies the exorbitant cost of new models. However, older pieces can also achieve astonishing prices on the second hand market. In their upcoming auction, Lempertz will be offering two classic black Kelly bags at highly competitive estimates.
So, ladies, now is your chance! Such rare and timelessly elegant vintage Hermès pieces do not appear on the market that often…

Cruel vandals targeted St Michael's Church of England Primary School in an attack that ripped apart the after school gardening club's display.
The pre-school, which shares the same site, has also been affected, with toys thrown across the outdoor playing area and an expensive buddleia plant donated by a parent ripped from the ground.
It's not known how many vandals were involved in the sickening attack on the plots at the school in Ashford Road, St Michael's, which is currently closed for the summer break.
Scroll down for audio
The mindless damage was discovered by Monica Walton, who runs the school gardening club, is a PTA leader and a foundation governor at the school.
Mrs Walton, 58, said: "I can't even put into words how I feel, I'm heartbroken for the children. They come every week during school time, starting from young children all the way up to Year 6."
The club's birdhouse has been knocked over and smashed, plants including beetroot and runner beans have also been ripped from the soil.
Mrs Walton, who has a grandchild at the school, said: "We have a lady who is a carer who comes and takes the runner beans to some of the old people she cares for.
"They are used by people who need them and this makes the children smile.
"I can't have the children come back to school and see this - they will be absolutely heartbroken."
A couple of windows of the greenhouse have also been popped out.
Mrs Walton says they have no option but to sweep up the mess and start the patch again, meaning pupils will return to school after the summer holidays in September to bare flowerbeds.
It's believed the vandals entered the school via a secure gate.
Mrs Walton, who lives in Grange Road, added: "Someone will know who did this. They will have told somebody, and I would like to know who that is."
Each year, the school holds an end of year barbecue where vegetables and fruit grown by the gardening club are enjoyed by pupils and staff.
Mrs Walton added: "We've made jam from the strawberries we've grown for the party. It's just really upsetting.
"We have grown the plants ourselves, what's happened is very disappointing.
"I have an idea of who might have done this.
"I would guess it is youngsters who have nothing better to with themselves.
"I think they have just gone on a mad rampage of destruction."
This latest incident is the second time this year that a school in the Tenterden area has suffered an attack on its garden.
In March this year we reported how vandals had entered the grounds of Tenterden Junior School and trashed a wildlife garden.
The pupils there were left heartbroken and in tears after spending a year to create the garden.
The news sparked donations from gardening groups and parents to restore the pupils' hard work.

It's not just images though it's links to deleted web pages and there's no way around it.
This reminds me of my high school days in the early 40's. Three of us each owned a 4x5 Graflex and were always experimenting. At one point we used heavy mailing tubes to build a lens of about 60" FL. This we rested on a tripod in front of one of our Graflex cameras which was of course on its own tripod.. we learned we could only use the rig on very calm nights,and it was better if it was cool. Our best images were of just the cupola of the Tennessee State Capital approximately 2-3 miles from our hilltop location.
I suspect that if three teenagers tried something similar today they would be questioned by authorities who would suspect them of being up to no good. What have we done to our young people with all our paranoia?

All mothers walk around with secrets. You see us, dropping our children off at school, with babies at the park, and pushing swings at the playground. There may be nothing to visibly set us apart, but beneath the surface there is often something that we aren't capable of showing you. Perhaps we have an experience in our past that has shaped who we are. Maybe we left the house in the midst of a terrible argument with our partner or child, or there is sickness in the family. Perhaps one of our children is struggling mightily in school. Maybe our new baby isn't bringing the joy we expected, or wasn't planned and has changed the course of our life. Maybe we are overwhelmed and consumed with guilt. Pick through your life, your identity. There is likely to be some struggle nobody else can see.
Every day of my experience as a mother is like this. Motherhood came in jagged stages, and I began my journey deeply conflicted about my own identity. My first baby, Charlotte, died as the result of a cord accident during her birth. I had no schema to guide me through this unthinkable, sudden loss, and I felt incapable of negotiating the world. Was I still a mother? I was bursting with love for this child who had left me, yet others' reactions told me my story was too sad to tell.
I was held by only a small circle of family and friends until the birth of my son Liam just shy of a year later. This child rekindled the flame of life beneath me and pushed air into my lungs where before I had been struggling to draw breath. I crept slowly back into the world, savoring my ability to go to mother's groups, to walk my living, breathing baby in the park, and to be viewed sitting with him sleeping on my chest in a cafe. I had finally achieved Motherhood.
I was out there in the world with Liam, and it was a beautiful thing to do everything I had envisioned myself doing with Charlotte. I loved him fiercely and without reserve, often feeling like I was giving him the mothering of two children bundled into one. I was grateful to avoid any postpartum depression or anxiety. I was even making new friends, who saw me glowing, gratefully and graciously caring for my adored little boy. Most of them even knew this sad, slightly secret fact: before Liam, there had been another baby, and she was dead.
I did not feel like a normal mother. I was happy with Liam but I was incredibly lonely. I could share that there had been a baby before Liam, but nowhere, not in any mother's group or playtime was there the space for me to truly tell my story. Nobody could see me only months before, alone, sobbing on a carpet that was soaked with my tears. Nobody else knew the animal cry of a bereaved mother's wail, ricocheting through the darkness of the night. I was walking around with this living baby, a smile on my face, but I could still hear that wail ripping at my soul. I could still feel the quiet, unmoving baby I had held before Liam. I was the mother of two, yet I was silenced from that truth. I simply assumed this was how it had to be.
It wasn't until several years later, after I began an organization to support bereaved parents in my community, that I became involved with MotherWoman and suddenly, without warning, I was given the first real, public place in my life to be my true self. I found myself sitting in a room full of mothers of all ages and I was invited to share my story. Not just pieces of the story, with the happy ending -- but all of it. For the first time, in the presence of "normal" mothers, I laid down the words that had been itching to come forward for years. I named all of my children. I shared my long journey, and I wept.
One by one, the other mothers shared their stories. They spoke of disabilities, premature babies, and divorce. They cried for poverty, for suffering relationships, for their difficulty in parenting, for the burden of racism on their lives and on their children. Just as the bereaved are silenced in many social circles, so were these mothers. Suddenly, I was no longer alone.
MotherWoman states in its principles, "We believe that speaking the truth about mothering is a revolutionary act which breaks silence and isolation for women... We support mothers in naming the deep challenges they are experiencing, knowing there are few places where mothers can be truthful about the full spectrum of their experience." Being able to speak my truth has not only allowed me to be truthful about my own life and loss, but it has also reminded me that honesty grows honesty. Across my life, when I share the truth about what isn't visible, I learn about the depth and texture of others' lives as well.
Carol McMurrich is a mother of five living in the hills of Western Massachusetts. MotherWoman was the place where she could finally speak her own truth and now she shares the MotherWoman model with other grieving parents.
She is the founder and president of Empty Arms Bereavement Support and blogs at www.happy-sadmama.blogspot.com and fourminusonemakesfive.blogspot.com.

A key feature in many blogging site is the ability to integrate into social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. This blog will detail adding functionality to auto announce new blog posts on these two media channels. If possible this will be later migrated into a plugin framework to allow adding of further social networks using a standard interface.
4Blogging – External Image Hosting – Picasa – Part 2
After an initial exploration into the options for connecting a Silverlight application to a Picasa image library a strategy was formed to retrieve metadata via a WCF RIA Domain service and load the images directly from Picasa. This get round the issue of Silverlight making cross domain calls to third party services without a cross domain policy.
I have prototyped a solution which can be downloaded from the sister codeplex site:
This is a very simple project that just demonstrates the possibility of interaction between the two technologies. It is not thorough in quality, validation or error handling. It does however demonstrate calling a Picasa album from Silverlight given a user name and album Id (These need to be replaced in the solution with your own library for it to work).
As there are no data entities created the return is a list of a custom class which has the requirement to be serializable and have an entity key.
The Silverlight application creates a Domain Service context and Entity Query with the user name and album id and calls a Load Operation on the context and adds an event handler to the callback.
PicasaGoogleContext context = new PicasaGoogleContext();
EntityQuery<ImageItem> query = context.GetAlbumImagesQuery("user.name", "albumid");
LoadOperation<ImageItem> queryOperation = context.Load(query);
queryOperation.Completed += new EventHandler(queryOperation_Completed);
If the operation has been successful new images are created from the result and added to the StackPanel.
LoadOperation<ImageItem> queryOperation = sender as LoadOperation<ImageItem>;
if (queryOperation.Error == null)
foreach (ImageItem img in queryOperation.Entities)
Image img1 = new Image();
img1.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(img.ThumbSmall, UriKind.Absolute));
img1.Width = 100;
img1.Height = 100;
The Domain Service makes the call to the Picasa service to retrieve the feed for photo items by user and album. This feed is then used to populate the ImageItem with the thumbnail and full image url as well as the filename. The list of these ImageItems are then returned.
List<ImageItem> images = new List<ImageItem>();
PicasaService service = new PicasaService("PicasaGoogleImageService");
PhotoQuery query = new PhotoQuery(PicasaQuery.CreatePicasaUri(user, album));
PicasaFeed feed = service.Query(query);
foreach (PicasaEntry entry in feed.Entries)
ImageItem item = new ImageItem(entry.Title.Text,
return images;
From an application viewers perspective the Silverlight application loads and the images appear in the application shortly after, this successfully demonstrates the process. Additional features required for a full blown implementation would include security and navigation of albums before reaching an image selection with lightbox functionality when an image is clicked on.
4Blogging – External Image Hosting – Picasa – Part 1
This post will explore the option of hosting images using another provider such as Picasa to reduce hosting bandwidth/storage. The prerequisite is to have and account with a public gallery already set up.
Here we will attempt to link to thumbnails and when clicked on open a lightbox style full image to the user. If successful a standard interface will be created that all third party image hosting modules can be built against as part of the overall plug-in environment that 4Blogging is to support, this will enable developers to build their own plug-ins for providers that are not catered for out of the box.
To start with we will need the Google Data API SDK for .NET this can be downloaded here:
After working through the Google Data/Photo API, Silverlight, JQuery and WCF RIA Services I have come to the following conclusions.
- Silverlight connecting directly to the Picasa service is not possible as the Google Picasa web would have to have a valid clientaccesspolicy.xml file granting cross domain access.
- JQuery can be used to call the Picasa service but the communication between Silverlight and JQuery with JQuery making async calls has too much of an overhead.
- WCF can communicate directly to the Picasa service and stream to Silverlight but this would defeat the object of saving bandwidth.
- While Silverlight cannot call the service it can display an image from Picasa given the URI.
With these points in mind, in Part 2 of this post, I will prototype a solution that has a WCF RIA service that can be called from Silverlight and returns a list of images within a library that are loaded directly from Picasa. This should minimise the required bandwidth as the images are pulled directly from Picasa and only data is transferred via the service.
The code for this will be posted to the CodePlex site when complete.
4Blogging Research – Silverlight Navigation
For Silverlight to be effective as a blog engine the navigation needs to be tightly integrated into the browser. Each blog post will be using the same xaml control but needs to be able to have a unique url in the browser to enable users to bookmark pages. For general use the browser back and forward buttons need to be supported to meet non technical users expectations. Below are documented the steps to create and test this functionality.
- Visual Studio 2010 http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio
- Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio http://www.silverlight.net/getstarted/
- Open Visual Studio 2010
- File > New > Project
- Installed Templates > Visual C# > Silverlight > Silverlight Navigation Application
- Enter a name for the application and select a location and click OK
- Accept the defaults for creating the Silverlight.Web project by clicking Ok
- Press F5 to run and debug the initial project
- A browser should open with the image below (or something very similar)
The site displayed already has two navigation pages (home and about) available and we can see by the url there is a reference to the current page (home) see below:
Clicking the about button changes the end of this URL from Home to About
This already means we are part way to meeting at least one of the required criteria to bookmark pages and clicking the back button returns to the home page which checks another item off the list. The next step is to determine if the same xaml control can receive and process multiple URL's for example:
Both links need to be processed by BlogPost.xaml
- On the Navigation Application project right click the Views folder > Add Item
- Select Silverlight Page give it a name such as BlogPost.xaml and click OK
- Add a textblock to the new page and add the x:Name attribute and call it Title
- Go to the code behind and in the OnNavigatedTo event set the Text property of Title to the NavigationEventArgs.Uri property e.Uri.ToString()
- This will display the path passed to the page and if it supports additional parameters to make it unique such as an id
- Open MainPage.xaml and locate the Home and About HyperlinkButton controls
- Copy one of the controls modify the Content to a unique name and the NavigateUri as shown below:
- /[YourPageName]?id=1
- Repeat and give and id of 2
Now press F5 to run and debug
If all has gone well the application will open again with two new buttons, clicking one of the buttons should update the Url to the new page and the path should be displayed in the application. This demonstrates that the page can be aware of additional identifiers and bookmarked with a parameter identifying a blog post.
This may not be the way the navigation is finally implemented but it proves that the concept is sound and can be executed. The code for this example can be downloaded from the 4Blogging CodePlex website.
4Blogging Architecture – First Draft
Proposed Technical Architecture
UI – Silverlight 4 – The point of the exercise is to learn Silverlight 4 so this is the only option.
Services – WCF RIA Services – These have been specifically designed with Silverlight in mind and reduce the development time so currently appear to be the best option.
Database – SQL Server – This will be the choice for the initial build but the solution as a whole will be designed to support other options if possible.
Data Access – Entity Framework – Supports SQL Server and unlike Linq to SQL other database support is available so has been selected for flexibility.
Caching – Enterprise Library 5.0 – Reduce round trips to the database where possible by caching display data where possible. There may be other areas of the library that are of use, this will be investigated in more detail in a later post.
This is only the first cut for technologies and each will be examined in more detail as the 4Blogging project progresses.
4Blogging Requirements Part Two – Posts
This is the initial set of requirements for individual posts.
Text Editing – Rich editing of posts supporting font face, size color, bold etc.
Image – Embedding of local and hosted images.
Code Blocks – Ability to add formatted code blocks with copy to clipboard functionality.
Comments – Post comments threaded and organised like conversations. Plugin support for external comment hosting such as Disqus.
Provided in an easy to use familiar format similar to HTML rich text boxes or MS Word.
4Blogging Requirements Part One – Site
Site Requirements
Hosting single multiple blogs – Site should be able to manage either a single blog or multiple blogs and default to a different home page according to needs.
Security – Site should manage single/multiple users per blog as well as overall administration of site. Self registration for site users including automated email account validation.
Tag Cloud – Auto generated based on blog content, needs to support per blog and per site.
Categories – Posts should support categories.
Series – Ability to create a series of blog posts with each post displaying navigation to all other posts in the series.
Social Networking – Plugin framework to support social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, StumbleUpon etc.
External Image Hosting Part 2 – To reduce bandwidth costs, plugin framework to support third party image hosting such as Flickr.
Navigation Bookmarking – Utilise the new Silverlight 4 navigation to enable bookmarking of pages.
Syndication – Plugin framework to support RSS, Atom feeds etc.
Ad Support – Plugin framework to support Google/Amazon ads to generate revenue.
Statistics – Logging of visitors locations, time spent on pages etc.
This is the first draft of requirements all of which are currently subject to change and will need to be investigated in more detail.
4Blogging Quality Tools
All code written for the 4Blogging engine will be written in compliance with existing standards. I have a fairly standard set of tools to this end listed below:
StyleCop http://stylecop.codeplex.com/ Ensures consistent look and feel of code layout
GhostDoc http://submain.com/products/ghostdoc.aspx Excellent auto-commenting tool
Code Analysis out the box and ready to go in Visual Studio 2010
I will add details of further tools as I need and test them.
4Blogging CodePlex Site Created
For anyone wishing to follow the project and/or download source code/compiled binaries the CodePlex site has now been created. There are currently no downloads available as I am still in the planning phase but as soon as code starts to emerge it will be published. All code written will be open source and can be freely distributed, the CodePlex project can be found:
As a first time user of CodePlex I am impressed with the ease and speed of setup and TFS support which will hopefully help my development run smoothly.

Gluten-Free Italian Resturant Eating
People with gluten intolerance problems have it rough, no question. Whether it be an allergy or Celiac disease, finding food to eat on a day to day basis can be challenging. But there is nothing worse than trying to go out somewhere for a night on the town, and not being able to find a place that will suit your needs. Well, there is hope! Take a look at this article to find a few ways to make eating out at an Italian place a little easier for your gluten-free needs!
Change your pasta, or bring your own
Pasta has gluten in it, unfortunately, which makes going to an Italian restaurant difficult. But there are many different options for replacing your pasta.
First and foremost, you can ask the chef if he has gluten free pastas available. If he does, you are in business! Many restaurants now are recognising the growing amount of people with gluten intolerance problems, and are trying to make life a little easier for you.
However, if the chef doesn't have gluten free pasta available, you can ask if you can bring your own pasta and have him prepare it. Most chefs take gluten issues very seriously and will be happy to cook your own dried noodles for you, if you give them a heads-up in advance.
Pizza dough
Pizza dough is a little trickier for those who need a gluten free diet. While gluten-free pasta has become more main-stream, gluten-free pizzas are a little harder to come by. Again, first off, ask whether they can accommodate you and your issue, or whether they can suggest something else that can be used as the pizza base that is gluten-free.
Gelato is one of the best things for a person with gluten intolerance issues, as it is naturally gluten-free. There is nothing to do here, except get a big bowl and enjoy it. So you now know, if all else fails, you have a reason to eat dessert before dinner.
There you have it, a quick overview of what you can do to fully enjoy an Italian restaurant when you have a gluten intolerance. Of course, if you have any direct questions, be sure to contact Italian restaurants in Fort McMurray and get the full scoop from them as to what you can and can't have. With gluten intolerance, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

All Sundnace related activity was really based at the end of my day today. Not so true for Paul and Kelly, of course, but at this point, that's to be expected.

And they're off!
At about 8:30 P.M. Mountain time, FORGIVEN had its world premier at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. I think that it can safely be said that the crowd was quite pleased with what they saw.

So you're an organ donor on Facebook – but at what cost?
Facebook's "life-saving" new feature aims to address a critical shortfall of donors by turning organ donation into an accepted social norm. People are encouraged to increase awareness of the issue by sharing, not just their donor status, but also the details around their becoming a donor along with donation stories. No doubt you will soon be able to tag your superfluous kidney in the new owner's photo albums.
In choosing to use things like Facebook and Gmail we are making the tacit (and often unconscious) statement that our personal information is a price we are willing to pay in exchange for relevant services we don't have to shell out for. What results is a massive data stock, which, when analysed, means brands can potentially understand us better than we understand ourselves. Google can serve you up ads that are frightening in their precision, US online store Target can figure out your daughter is pregnant before you do, and credit card companies are able to predict your divorce by two years. It's scary stuff. Or is it?

Al-Shabaab militants in Somalia.
Davis said al-Shabaab is an al-Qaida affiliate closely tied more specifically to Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, which is a group that has murdered Americans, radicalized and recruited terrorists and fighters in the United States, and has conducted and inspired attacks against Americans and us interests around the world.
It was not immediately clear whether the wounded were also from the elite military unit. The new deployment will consist of about 40 more soldiers, a military official told CNN.
A statement from the US Africa Command said the military member was killed on Thursday during an operation near Barii, about 64km west of the capital, Mogadishu.
"Kyle was a glue kid, the kind of kid that didn't just show up to practice every day, but made those around him better", UConn track and field coach Greg Roy said in a statement Sunday.
In addition to the death of the Navy SEAL, two Americans were injured on the "advise-and-assist" mission. The raid may have involved SEAL Team 6, which has a prominent role in counterterrorism operations in the Horn of Africa. Angus King released a joint statement Saturday afternoon that reads, in part, "He defended our nation with bravery and with distinction, and his sacrifice will never be forgotten". "We hope that his family and loved ones are comforted in knowing that the people of ME and our nation are eternally grateful for his selfless service".
A Somali intelligence official said USA forces killed at least six people during the raid on a building housing the al-Shabab extremist group's Andalus radio station at a farm near Dare Salaam village, according to the Associated Press. There were no Somali casualties.More news: Jakarta governor given 2-year prison sentence for blasphemy
CORRECTION: This story has been corrected to reflect that the incident took place on Thursday.
Al-Shabaab pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda in 2012.
Washington has insisted that Shabaab poses a grave threat to U.S. security, and has also launched attacks on nearby Yemen where al-Qaeda have established a stronghold.
It was not clear yet if Warsame was the target of the raid, the security source said.
It has already done so in Yemen, where US forces are conducting intensified operations against al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, and in Syria, where President Trump launched missile strikes on Syrian government facilities last month in retaliation for a chemical attack.
Somalia descended into chaos in 1991 after longtime dictator Mohammad Siad Barre was overthrown by clan-based militias, who then fought each other for power.
The new training effort comes as US military leaders see opportunities to work with Somalia's newly elected president, Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo, a dual US-Somali citizen who has embarked on a series of aggressive military reforms amid an ongoing al Shabaab bombing campaign that has repeatedly struck Mogadishu.


text: Biotechnology: Genetically Modified Foods Topics: Nutrition, DNA, Health Pages: 2 (522 words) Published: April 25, 2005 Throughout the advancing technology of today, human culture is becoming revolutionary with science and all of its components. Genetically modifying foods presents positive opportunities in agriculture and human health. Furthermore, more scientifically advanced modifications that select genetically superior plants, have enhanced the yield of crops, improved storability, and increased disease resistance. To simply remove genes from one organism and transfer them to another is generally harmless if we take appropriate precautions. This often debated issue holds many objections. Moreover, one may claim that modifying genes at all is unnatural and evaluates a sufficient risk to many different organisms and species. However, the current technology we possess provides us with the capabilities to go beyond our limits. Why draw the line here? Genetically modifying foods presents positive and beneficial opportunities. In most cases, we are not eating those genes. By the time a genetically engineered corn plant has been processed into corn oil, virtually none of the genes or the proteins they produce is left in the food. Transferring genes from one plant or animal to another provides an advantageous outcome to this production. A better resistance to weeds, pests, and diseases is produced as well as better yield and a more efficient use of land. Additionally, altering genetics in foods contributes to a better texture, flavor, and nutritional value of a product. Therefore, there is a longer shelf life and less herbicide or other chemicals are used in the production of genetically modified foods, which provides a healthier option and an increased selection for the consumer. Biotechnology is going to help solve problems that we face going into the next century such as reduction of allergies, development of more nutritious foods, and an increased nutritional production to feed a growing population. Subsequently, changing one or two genes does not make a food unacceptable.... Continue Reading Please join StudyMode to read the full document

More than 10,000 oil and gas industry professionals from around the world are expected to attend the SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE) from 9 to 11 October at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas.
ATCE will draw a diverse crowd of engineers, scientists, management professionals, and policymakers, who will be focused on the innovative technology and thinking needed to address the low oil-price environment and the challenges of sustainability to meet the growing global demand for the world's primary energy source.
The opening general session, "Sustainable Oil and Gas: Improving People's Lives," will be held on 9 October. The panelists will include Franklin Orr, emeritus professor of petroleum engineering at Stanford University and former Under Secretary for Science and Energy at the United States Department of Energy; David Hager, president and chief executive officer (CEO) of Devon Energy; Lorenzo Simonelli, president and CEO of Baker Hughes, a GE Company; and Mohammed Al-Qahtani, senior vice president, upstream, at Saudi Aramco.
The 3-day conference will feature 430 technical presentations, including papers and ePosters, which were accepted from a record 2,511 submitted proposals. There will be 47 technical sessions covering all aspects of the oil and gas industry and 10 special sessions.
The exhibition is expected to draw more than 350 exhibiting companies and organizations from approximately 20 countries.
ATCE's slate of special sessions will include
9 October
10 October
11 October
Twenty-six professional training courses will be held on a wide variety of technical disciplines. Two 1-day courses each will be held on 7 October and 8 October, and 12 2-day courses will take place over both dates. An additional 10 1-day courses will be held on 12 October. Participants will receive 0.8 continuing education units for each course day.
SPE technical sections will hold meetings, including
9 October
10 October

ATCE: A Global Crossroads for Innovative Technology

Mini Dental Implants are the latest in dental implant technology in Concord, CA, and offer a wide scope of treatment options to patients seeking dental restoration. Mini Dental Implants in Concord California themselves are an innovation upon traditional implant technology which uses titanium screws applied directly to Concord patient's bone to secure dental prosthetics. While revolutionary, this more traditional procedure requires invasive surgical techniques and often several return visits to complete. The longer healing time can also present complications as well.
Mini Dental Implants are a refinement of dental implant procedures and techniques. The implant devices themselves are slimmer than the original implant design, at 3mm or less in diameter, and are also made of titanium. The qualities of titanium allow for the jaw bone to fuse with more stability to the implant, so that the prosthetics attached are more secure. With this more slender design feature, however, what was once an invasive and drawn out surgical process has become a procedure that can be completed within a matter of hours. This minimally invasive process also means a patient's recovery time is much quicker compared with traditional implant procedures. Patients that undergo Mini Dental Implant procedures can expect nearly a full recovery in a matter of weeks, whereas traditional implant processes can take a matter of months, with several stages necessary for completion.
Mini Dental Implants are versatile in that not only can they treat a number of conditions, they are also able to treat a wide variety of patients. Where some individuals may not be ideal candidates for traditional dental implants, not having suitable bone thickness at the intended implant site, almost anyone (provided they are in good oral health) can be considered for the Mini Dental Implant procedure.
Whether it is a single tooth that needs to be replaced with a crown, or a full set of dentures, Mini Dental Implants can enhance the effectiveness of traditional dental prosthetics. As the implant mimics a natural tooth root, single tooth replacement feels as natural and stable as the rest of your teeth. Bridges are made more stable by Mini Dental Implants, and do not require the modification of healthy surrounding teeth. Denture can be anchored more securely, reducing anxiety over their shifting.
Additionally, because recovery time, procedure length, and materials used are a fraction of that of traditional dental implants, Mini Dental Implants are extremely cost effective. Revolutionary. Cutting edge. Cost effective. If you're in need of treatment for tooth replacement, Mini Dental Implants are an efficient, versatile, and convenient solution.
