President- elect Donald Trump, owner of hotels, golf courses, casinos, office towers, not to forget the Empire line of fragrances, has prompted quite a few questions about his foreign business ties and potential conflicts of interest.
During the campaign when asked what he would do with his business empire if he won, he had said, "If I become president, I couldn't care less about my company, it's peanuts." He had gone on to say that his "kids" would run the company, "you've got to do it for America."
So, all the talk of the business being handed over to a "Blind Trust" is hogwash. It can't be a blind trust when his children are going to run it, more so because of his children's involvement in the transition team.
Deutsche Bank is being investigated by the justice department for its role in the 2008 financial crisis, and there is a likelihood of the bank facing up to a $14 billion fine. Interestingly, Deutsche Bank happens to be one of Trump's main lenders; Trump has a $300 million mortgage with them.
So, where is the conflict of interest? Well, as the president he gets to decide who heads the justice department – and he's already done it by nominating a close loyalist, Alabama Senator, Jeff Sessions, for the position of Attorney General, head of the United States Department of Justice.
Here's another conflict of interest good enough to raise many an eyebrow. He is said to owe hundreds of millions of dollars to the Bank of China, a state-owned bank which means he owes money to the Peoples' Republic of China, in a sense. So, what about his campaign threats to impose high tariffs on Chinese goods which, many believe, can lead to a trade war with China, if not a real war?
Considered one of the bigger conflicts of interest, not too far away from the White House, is the Trump International Hotel. Now, how does that create a conflict of interest?
A recent report from The Washington Post spoke about a fair amount of urgency being shown by foreign visitors in booking rooms / suites in The Trump International Hotel, apparently, to express their approval of his presidency. If legal experts are to be believed, this is a form of "emolument" or gift which is against the Constitution of the nation.
There are many other questions being raised with reference to the issue of conflicts of interest which, according to Trump himself, is more media hype than anything else. "Prior to the election it was well known that I have interests in properties all over the world," Trump tweeted Monday night. "Only the crooked media makes this a big deal!"
The family angle makes it another conflict of interest matter, with the idea of his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, becoming a senior White House official being floated around. There is, however, an anti-nepotism law since 1967 which still applies, although the Trump camp believes that the president is exempt from that law.
Even if the president is exempt from the "conflict of interest law," or "anti-nepotism law", Congress can always intervene with an impeachment call if things get out of hand, according to experts.

Every woman wants to look her best at all times. A radiant and youthful appearance can make you the centre of attraction. Your beauty can rope in praises and compliments. The beauty industry thrives on the insecurities of women. You must remember that make-up helps to hide the flaws. It also accentuates your facial features. Make-up can look flawless if you have healthy skin.
Skin is the biggest organ in the human body. It protects the muscles and bones from direct contact with external elements. It prevents germs and bacteria to get access to the sensitive internal organs. You need to preserve and ensure skin health with regular cleansing. Water cannot remove dirt, sweat and chemicals, which accumulate on your skin. You require organic ingredients to clean your body.
Mother Nature provides humans with natural ingredients to maintain physical fitness and beauty. Apart from the various benefits, natural products eliminate the chances of side-effects. But people opt for beauty products, which contain harmful chemicals. These creams and lotions may offer fast results, but prolonged usage causes harm to the skin and body. The toxic substances can seep into your skin and reach the internal organs.
The beauty experts realise that such chemical-based products can put you in harm's way. So, they stress on the use of natural products and side-effect free home remedies. You must provide your skin with the necessary nourishment to maintain its health. Body scrubs, face packs and oil massage are popular skin treatments, which offer several benefits.
Natural ingredients can offer satisfactory results. Ayurveda is an ancient medical science that can come to your aid. Ayurveda talks about the natural components and their perks for the skin and the human body. So, you can order the best Ayurvedic products online to restore your skin health.
Why Natural Components Are Popular?
Ancient Ayurveda highlights that every individual must cleanse his/her body. Personal care is necessary for hygiene. A proper bath with the Ayurvedic products cleanses your body. It also gives you a fresh feeling. Apart from this, such products also keep germs at bay. Here are some reasons why natural skincare items are in demand.
1. Natural ingredients may take some time to show the desired effects. But you need not worry about any negative impacts.
2. Most of the ingredients, which you require, can come from your kitchen garden or refrigerator.
3. You can add additional natural ingredients to make beauty remedies more potent.
4. Natural beauty tips are inexpensive.
5. Your skin can soak up the natural essential oils present in the ingredients.
6. You can prepare a home treatment for oily skin or face scrub for dry skin with similar ingredients.
Milk: An elixir for human skin
Milk is a complete food as it offers the necessary nutrients to the body. If you drink two glasses of milk each day, you can stay fit and active. It improves eyesight, muscle tone, bone strength and RBC count. Many do not realise that milk can enhance their beauty. Ancient Ayurvedic texts give the credit to milk for glowing skin.
Beauty gurus suggest that milk acts as a magic potion for the skin. Individuals with sensitive skin cannot use many products. They experience breakouts, rashes or infections. Milk offers fantastic results for people with dry, oily, combination and sensitive skin.
Even the make-up and skincare product manufacturers realise the benefits of milk. Goat and donkey milk is best for the skin. So, per litre price is quite high. Some of the best Ayurvedic products online contain donkey or goat milk. Read the ingredient list and make sure that it lacks any chemical preservatives.
Which Milk Suits Your Skin Needs?
Many people ask what kind of milk is good for the face. Ready-to-drink milk cannot do any good for the skin. Processed milk loses much of its beauty benefits. Opt for raw milk to intensify the glow, texture, softness and beauty of your skin.
How Can Milk Enhance Your Beauty?
A regular beauty regime is a must for all women. The application of natural products ensures the health of your skin. Healthy skin emits an envious glow. It appears flawless. So, you can look gorgeous with minimal make-up application. If you desire such natural beauty, then add milk to your beauty routine. Here are some beauty benefits of milk.
Reduces Skin Blemishes
It is rather challenging to erase acne scars. Milk can help you to remove these scars. Mix milk and coconut water together. Put some Multani Matti in it to make a pack. This is a potent solution for your acne blemishes.
Evens Skin Tone
If your skin produces more sebum, then you can experience dark patches on facial skin. The uneven skin tone mars your natural beauty. Do not conceal it with heavy make-up. Eliminate the problem with proper home treatment for oily skin. Milk application and milk and turmeric face packs even out uneven skin tone.
Erases Age Spots and Wrinkles
The protein content in milk is rather high. It triggers collagen production in the skin tissue. It makes the skin elastic. Apart from this, milk injects moisture into your skin. So, the wrinkles reduce within a few weeks. If you have age spots, then milk takes care of those as well. The anti-aging benefits of milk are high.
Makes Skin Radiant
The skin on your face gets protein from the milk packs. Protein increases cell regeneration. It also makes the skin tight. It also provides a porcelain finish to your skin. It shines from within and emits a healthy radiance.
Skin Cleaners
Beauty experts suggest that it is unwise to use soap on the face. Whether you use or do not use make-up, clean your skin every night. If you have oily skin, then you must stay away from oil-based cleansers. Milk comes under the oily face home remedies list. This natural ingredient works as a deep cleanser for such people.
Treats Dryness
Milk acts as a moisturising ingredient. People with dry skin lack smooth skin texture. Apply milk on the face at night and leave it for 20 minutes. Wash your face with normal water and go to bed. Regular milk application can improve the texture and make your skin supple.
Removes Tan
Sun exposure can leave you with a stubborn tan. Use milk on the exposed parts to get rid of the tan. You can mix the oatmeal powder with milk and make a scrub. Rub it on the skin before bath. You can get bank the original skin colour within a few weeks. Do you want a glowing skin during the upcoming bridal season? If so, then start with a simple yet effective beauty routine. If you cannot make the packs and scrubs at home, then purchase herbal and Ayurvedic skincare and beauty products. You can order such items from Skas Naturals. Apart from beauty items, you can get other wellness products here as well.

Controverses in neuroborreliosis clinical experience and not only
by Dr. Tatiana Roşca
Borreliosis or Lyme disease is caused by the spirochetes Borrelia burgdorferi and is an infection transmitted by the bite of infected ticks. Fig.1;
Borrelia burgdorferi include: Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii (specific to Europe). The tick is ixodes ricinus urbane. Fig.2;
Clinical manifestations of Lyme disease: [1]:
Phase 1 : it is situated at the site where the tick bites the skin and has the aspect of erythema chronicum migrans. The rash begins after 3-30 days from the bite of the infected tick. 18% of the patients do not present the rash. Fig.3;
Phase 2 : appears in weeks or months. The patients develop neurological (15%), heart (5%), or arthritic (60%) manifestations. Untreated , weeks to months after the bacterium drilled into the body the joints, heart and nervous systems will be affected. The spirochetes adhere promptly and penetrate the endothelial cells and other types of cells as the glial ones with mediated attach through the exposure surface. Fig.4;
Phase 3 : cronic neurological syndromes and arthritic manifestations. Affects HEART: abnormal heart rhythm and heart failure and both CENTRAL AND PERIPHERIC NERVOUS SYSTEM JOINTS SYSTEM. Fig.5;
Differential diagnosis of the rheumatologist: [2]:

Differential diagnosis of the ophthalmologist [4]:
Other Problems to Be Considered
Clinical manifestations - more frequent are dermatological, neurological, ophthalmological, heart, rheumatic and psychiatric.
As Lyme disease is multisystemic, differential diagnosis includes:
Note: click on the links in the page: Fig.A, to see the whole image.
1st case
Female patient , 57 y.o, urban, teacher
The only place in the human body where the aspect of the blood vessels can be seen live is the retina ophthalmoscopic exam.
The suggestive aspect of FO for the presence of the antiphospholipid antibodies (due to an infection) was the one that induced the necessity of confirming immunologic investigation followed by etiologic research of the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS).
APS is a prethrombotic state that, early discovered can prevent the thrombotic state. Bacterial wall contains phospholipids that call for B2GPI, forming together an autoimmune antibody with a role in pushing the bacteria off the blood flow favouring the prethrombotic state.
This theoretical assess presumes the existence of a phospholipid on the bacterium surface which will attach to B2GP1 thus determining the thrombus. [5]
Some of the antiphospholipidic antibodies react with the apoptotic cells that have suffered a modification of their normal distribution, accompanied by the asymetry of the membranar phospholipids and the exposure of the anionic phospholipids on the cell surface. [6]
Apoptotic cells induce appearance of anti-phospholipid autoantibodies. [7]
Binding of Anti-phospholipid autoantibodies to apoptotic cells depends on ß2-glycoprotein. [8].
2nd case
Patient C.I., 35 y.o., urban environment

3th case
Student, 14 y.o., urban environment
3th June 2009 : The 3rd hospitalization in another infectious diseases hospital: dg. Borrelia with investigations:
Only one tonic-clonic seizure for 30 minutes keeping conscience – desitin. Consultation at 7 neuropsychiatrists and one neurosurgeon
Treatment with :
Clinical signs and symptoms:
Home treatment at Dr. B.P.Bozsik indications . Fig.46; Fig.47;
At the end of the treatment Fig.48; Fig.49; Fig.50;
Peculiarities of the case:
Extremely diverse progress of the disease symptoms :
NEUROLOGY : headache
INFECTIOUS: fever, shivering
BMF : right salivary submandibular gland implication
GASTRO-ENTEROLOGY: abdominal pains
CARDIOLOGY: sleep apnea (Class IV NYHA), arrhythmias (cardiomyopathy)
RHEUMATOLOGY : Seronegative polyarthritis - bilateral pains at the sacro-illiac joints level, - pains at the lumbar vertebral canal.
OPHTHALMOLOGY: transitory diplopia
DERMATOLOGY: skin lession suggesting a "spirochete"
NEUROLOGY : Investigating on at mother's suggestion for suspicioned Guillain Barre syndrome + EMG: sensitive polyneuropathy suggesting an infectious cause

Join us at The Light Box for an in depth discussion with Diane Hinds, well known for her popular talks 'How to Promote Your Book' and 'Getting Your Business Message Across', which she has delivered throughout the UK and California.

These focused businesses learn how to achieve these elements affordably, delivering to their audience sound public relations through a well-thought-out campaign.

There is great debate regarding the identity of the power groups and individuals who are contributing to this conspiracy, opinions differ based on the groups doing the research. The term Illuminati is most often used to refer to them, but just who or what makes up this group is shrouded in secrecy. Leading organizations who are accused of being at least part of the Illuminati include the Freemasons, the Bilderberg Group, and the Trilateral Commission. The Bavarian Illuminati was formed by Adam Weishaupt in the late 18th century, but even though it was quickly disbanded by the government of the country, rumors of its survival and infiltration into other secret societies have remained.
Bible prophecy plays a large role in many different theories concerning the New World Order, especially since prophetical books of the Bible such as Daniel and Revelation, speak of the creation of a global government ruled by a single dictator known as the Antichrist. Equally important in this scenario is the creation of a single worldwide currency being used in conjunction with RFID chip technology to prevent anyone who doesn't have a coming mark from buying or selling goods.
Strict population control and even major reduction of the world's population play a significant role in the New World Order as well. The mysterious Georgia Guidestones, a large monument of granite located in Elbert Country, Georgia, speak of maintaining the earth's population at 5 million people. In order to reach that number there would need to be a reduction of the current world population of roughly 5.5 billion people. The UN Local Agenda 21 has already sectioned off specific areas of the United States that would make the majority of the country illegal to inhabitant once their plan for 'sustainable development' have been implemented.
Illuminati plans have been shown to adhere to a formula, known as Order out of Chaos. A strategy by which powerful global leaders create global problems purposely to offer their own global solutions which bring the world closer to a single worldwide government. This is known as Problem, Reaction, Solution.

This client is based on an airport. The company has training facilities providing real time scenario's for disasters and accidents. This means that they spread gallons of diesel oil, aviation fuel and kerosene around and burn it to tackle and put out realistic controlled fires.
The result – they have a huge run off situation with oil or fuel draining into their water outlet. To capture the oils around the site they have a number of oil interceptors which then drain off to a large 500,000 gallon catchment pits prior to leaving the site.
As shown in the picture above – It shows the main catchment pit with high concentrates of oil. Due to the large amount of waste being used , the company had around 1000 parts per million of oil leaving site. On approaching Geyser, they wanted a green treatment of all the oil interceptors around the site as well as the main catchment pit shown.
The solution
GWT were tasked with reducing the oil level down to 10 parts per million .
We built around the site, dosing systems and aeration tubes into each of the oil interceptors, which dosed bacteria specifically designed to digest the oil that drained into each treatment pit.
For the main catchment pit we installed multiple aeration tubes with dosing of bacteria. In addition we installed specialist filtration pads designed to collect oil but release clean water to leave the site. Further testing was carried out after the filters. The water is now and has over several years been releasing less than 1 part per million oil to water, off site into a water course. A success in Diesel and Aviation fuel treatment.

Program Overview
Kids Lunch Club
Goal - To ensure that all children in the community have access to nutritious food
The Kids Lunch Club (KLC) is a program offered by Child Hunger Brantford (CHB). The KLC provides free lunches to elementary school children who might otherwise come to school with no source of nourishment for the day. Lunches include a full sandwich, fresh vegetable, fruit, healthy snack and fruit juice (low sugar). Lunches are prepared by volunteers under the guidance of a Kitchen Supervisor (part-time employee) in a commercial kitchen and delivered to the schools by volunteers. The Kitchen Supervisor is also responsible for food procurement.
CHB reviewed statistics provided in the Brantford 2009 Social Planning Report, and is offering programs in areas of the City that could make the most impact.
Moreover, this program aims to empower and inspire students by:
- providing foods made with carefully-considered ingredients that promote healthy growth and development

- promoting and nurturing life-long healthy eating habits
Community Learning
Community Kitchen
Goal - To provide a positive experience that promotes good nutrition, economical food choices, encourages self-sufficiency, builds skills, and is accessible to all
For centuries, human beings have been coming together around food. In this workshop, we'll revisit the magic of the family meal and explore ways in which we can eat together more often, despite our busy schedules.
Workshops will review key information on nutrition, hygiene, economical shopping and cooking techniques. Everyone will be provided with a cooking experience and the opportunity to take home a healthy meal to share with their family. We'll also peek inside a school lunch box and visit a supermarket to learn about ways in which we can make healthier choices for the whole family.
Adults and youth will participate in the cultivation of food in a Community Garden. They will learn how to grow, care for, and prepare food at harvest time!
The goal is for participants to make healthy food choices, include the children in food preparations, and serve nutritious meals. Sharing a meal with the family at least once a week not only feeds our body, it feeds our soul.

Message :cannot format. this volume is write protected. How do i get past this
Read this thread: http://www.computing.net/answers/do...
Hi Sakiuzo,
What exactly are you trying to format?
If it is a 3.5" floppy disc, there is a small 2 position plastic slide.
In one position this write protects and the other position allows writing.
Some thumbdrives/memory sticks have a similar slide.
Please advise back on progress.
Good Luck - Keep us posted.
My buddy has a Sony vaio laptop that has vista and then was upgraded to ultimate. He turned it on one day and splash screen then just kept repeating "Operating system not found". I know enough to get lucky with this stuff and like, more like get obsessed, to figure things out. So I am trying to rid the system of Vista Ultra and install Vista-Retro (what I like to call XP when everyone started going back to it) OR Win 7. 7 will at least begin install where XP is hit and miss. BUT no hard drive. BIOS says none and i keep finding 'X drive' named boot. Not familiar with that, AND today i opened the regi, somehow, forgot what i did. But it seemed kinda bare, and I try not to mess around in there, unless I'm trying to screw with the people at Symantec, lol So if ya wanna throw something out there, i'll try it.
What is the 'regi'? The registry? Not likely you got into that if the computer can't even find the drive it's on.
The hard drive is probably bad or at least not set up right in cmos/bios setup. The write protect message is probably because you're trying to format something else--maybe whatever drive you booted from.
Thats why i got a little hopeful when it did pop up. But it seems to react differently depending on where you are when you're communicating with it. In CMD Prompt X: , which I am assuming is the hard drive due to having computer, users, program files, windows..... can be seen but 'ACCESS DENIED'. XP install will run through the entire setup routine but at the last moment OH can't see your hard drive. WIN 7 install will see and seem to access most everything BUT doesn't see drivers. Even when I point it right at what it is asking me for.
So if it's a bad hard drive, it's a bad hard drive. Just run down and get one thats compatible with what is trying to be accomplished, and this thing should be happy, right? Theoretically.
The Easy way out. haha
Does the command prompt actually show as X:\> ? If so that's probably not the hard drive. You need to figure out which drive letters correspond to which drives.
Yeah, if the drive is bad then a new one should fix things. But you should probably run some diagnostics first to see if the drive is bad. The laptop might have some on-board diagnostics or you can download software from the drive manufacturer.
Also, XP doesn't understand SATA so if the drive is SATA you need additional drivers in order to install that OS.
So myself having only 1 exposure to Vista, and that being an 'out-o-box' setup and wanting to smash it by the time I was done. "Are you sure you want to install that driver?" "Are you REALLY sure?" AAAHH
but, sorry, So Vista may have used SATA and therefore the F6 SATA during XP setup
Also, an update, I now have the Sony booting to the XP Splash Screen "starting Windows X...cough cough" Blue screen of death

Turkey and Saudi Arabia officially revealed plans to establish strategic cooperation council between the two powers on 29 December 2015.
The plans represent continuing realignment between Turkey and the Arab coalition against the background of the ongoing geopolitical struggle in the Middle East. These two forces had not been allies by default. Nor will they probably be in the future. They have already fought a proxy war against each other in Libya. At this point, however, the need to stop Iranian challenge represents the priority for both Turkey and the Arab coalition, including its leader Saudi Arabia. Hence deepening strategic cooperation.

Learning more about our food system, you may ask, "How can I help?" One way is to visit farms and connect with local farmers. You also may consider participating in a farm's Community Supported Agriculture (CSA).
A CSA is a food distribution system that connects community members directly with their local farmers through buying shares or regularly supplied produce boxes. This system benefits both the producers by increasing their customer base as well as consumers by having regular access to fresh, healthy food. Here is a great resource that provides a list of CSA's in Maryland that can be sorted by county to find the one closest to you.
In order for alternative systems such as local food stores to gain support, it is important to identify the benefits. Supporters believe local markets provide fresh, higher quality foods. Processed foods that you find at supermarkets tend to be richer in saturated and trans-fatty acids, salt and sugars, which can lead to diet-related diseases.
By replacing some of these purchases with local, fresh produce, you can make a difference in your family's health. Changing the food you purchase is the first step towards changing your consumption habits. By advocating for local food, supporters are promoting eating seasonal, unprocessed foods that benefit environmental and human health.
Local food systems also help small, local farms that compete with large, corporate agriculture. As a result, rural communities benefit as it builds more resilient rural economies. Additionally, small farmers are more likely to be diversified and less controlled by large institutions; therefore they have more room to adopt alternative, sustainable methods that are more beneficial to the environment.
You can see examples of this for yourself at the 3rd annual Bethesda Green Farm Tour. Find out where your food comes from, how agricultural production impacts our environment and what you can do to help.
Reserve your spot on the Farm Tour here.
Jennifer Roe is a recent graduate of the University of Edinburgh where she received her Master's in Environment and Development. She is passionate about building a just and sustainable food system where every individual has the opportunity to lead a successful, healthy life.

Hauptmann (Captain) Irisdina Bernhard is one of the main heroines of Schwarzesmarken and a secondary heroine in Bernhard im Schatten. She is the CO of the 666th TSF Squadron and her call sign is Schwarzes-01.
Bernhard im Schatten Edit
Irisdina was the child of diplomats and the only sister of Jürgen Bernhard. Because her parents were never home, Irisdina and her brother developed a very tight bond.
Irisdina was extremely popular at her school. Charismatic and always excelling at anything she put her mind into, Irisdina was a natural school idol. Her position as one of the top students was virtually unchallenged until she met Beatrix Brehme.
Irisdina's favorite hobby was collecting tea paraphernalia.
Schwarzesmarken Edit
A decorated war hero of the Poland retreat, no one doubts that her exemplary leadership and tactical skills are a few of the main reasons for the squadron's continued survival and success on the battlefield. She believes in leading by example, and will be among the first to go into the fray in a battle.
Irisdina sold out her brother to the Stasi and was greatly rewarded by the government, however, it also caused her to be shunned by her peers. In truth, she is involved in a plot planned by certain factions and members of the NPA and GDR governments to overthrow the Stasi and their communist masters so they can reunite West and East Germany.
A shining pillar of hope for the common East German people and soldiers alike, Irisdina Bernhard recognized her ability to have an influence on the country's future and secretly worked toward building her position of power to strengthen East Germany and turn it into a world power that would be worthy of standing beside the West, and remaining independent of the Soviet Union.
All of her actions, including the development and training of the elite 666th TSF squadron, volunteering to participate in "suicide" missions such as laserjagd runs and Operation Neptune, were all done in order to create pilots that could not only survive, but thrive on the battlefield and display East Germany's potential to the world.
However, while many believed Irisdina was the lynchpin of the squadron and later, the rebellion at large, it was the very groundwork she had lain prior to Schwarzesmarken's events that would ensure that should she be incapacitated, there would be others that could carry on her personal mission. Katia Waldheim was an unexpected but welcome arrival that would set into motion the events the rebellion had been waiting for: a sufficient justification for the overthrow of the government, and one that was not already being followed by the feared Stasi.
Lise's betrayal of the squadron was not completely unexpected and, despite the difficult position it put the rebels in, Irisdina's plan of training her pilots well and putting faith in their individual abilities paid off as Theodor Eberbach, Gretel Jeckeln, and Katia Waldheim managed to not only escape capture but return to save their comrades from captivity, despite being outnumbered and at a technological disadvantage.
However, their opponent was the clever Beatrix Brehme, and Irisdina's reputation made her the prime target for the rebellion to recapture in order to use as their rallying call to victory: something that could not be allowed to happen if the government forces wanted to avoid fighting both the people and the NVA. And so, when Theodor Eberbach went to find Irisdina Eberbach in his base's prison cell block, he came back out empty-handed as the commander of Schwarzesmarken had already been moved to another location.
Despite the fact that she was made to endure torture and isolation by Beatrix during her captivity, Irisdina remained resolute in the face of opposition. She refused to reveal any details of the rebellion or the whereabouts of her pilots, and thanks to Beatrix's orders to not leave any "permanent" damage to her body, Irisdina was not forced to suffer under the worst of the Stasi interrogation techniques.
After the rebels acquired the location of Irisdina's prison, Theodor Eberbach began a rescue operation as the rest of the 666th's pilots engaged the Werewolf Battalion in East Berlin. The two had a short but heartfelt reunion that was broadcast for the entire world to see as part of Operation St Ursula.
She was quickly spirited away to the rebel's base and tended to by a medic for her extensive injuries, all the while Theodor began to tell her of the events that led them to her rescue. Irisdina was clearly saddened by the loss of her friends, but hid it well from Theodor's eyes. She said that she was not afraid of dying because she believed in the 666th: that they would come for her. Irisdina reminded Theodor when the war was over, they would go to his family's summer home together where she would finally respond to his feelings.
Unfortunately, the bloody civil war refused to let Irisdina escape from its grasp. While Theodor was out engaging Beatrix Brehme, Heinze Axmann infiltrated the rebels with the intent of assassinating Katia Waldheim in a last ditch attempt to break the will of the opposition movement. Irisdina bravely stood in his way and was shot by him, left with a mortal wound in the stomach that Axmann said would be his reward to her for making it an "easy" kill to let her live a bit longer.
Irisdina, always the selfless one, asked those around her not to grieve for her as her part to play was over. She asked what had become of Beatrix and was relieved to hear she was not made to suffer in her end. Her final request was to be taken to see the now united Berlin, with the wall now taken apart by the people of both sides.
Her last words were of relief that her dream, an undivided Germany, had come to pass. Irisdina died peacefully in Theodor's arms as he completed his flight across the now united capital.
Irisdina would still come to visit Theodor in his dreams for a long time after her death, bringing a measure of peace to him as there were so many questions he still had left to ask her. Her image remained a powerful motif for the reformed government and military of East Germany, as well as the common people of both Germanies. In a way, her death further immortalized her as one of the legends that brought upon the freedom of the people from oppression and signaled the start of a new, independent East Germany that could stand with not only the Warsaw Pact but the European Union and their brothers in the West.
Personality and BeliefsEdit
Due to her cold personality, some call her "the Ice Queen". She is a realist who believes that sacrificing a few hundred lives to save a million is worth the price. Her priorities in battle are the completion of the mission, the safety of her team, and protecting her own life, in that order. Despite the fact that the Communist party technically forbids religious practice of any kind, she is a devout Christian.
Irisdina is also noted to have the charisma that draws people to her ideals, demonstrated by her ability to forge an unlikely alliance between many disparate factions.
Irisdina distrusted the West. While she acknowledged that their help was necessary, she did not see them as friends, as she believed that they wanted nothing more then to make a shield out of East Germany. Irisdina's priority was always Germany, with Europe secondary to that.
Irisdina could be extremely ruthless when she had to be. Lise's route provides the best example of this, wherein she handed Lise over to Axmann to be "interrogated," or when she ordered in artillery barrages while fighting in Berlin, leading to much collateral damage.
Above all, Iris wished to realize her brother's will and see a new dawn rise on a revitalized and democratic Germany.
Trivia Edit
- Irisdina is associated with lilies in BiS, to contrast Beatrix's rose motifs.
- Irisdina's route name and theme song is "Last Desire."
- Her Name is possible a Transcription mistake of Iris-Dina as a double Name.

Yesterday, we took the subway into Madrid's tourist area, Plaza del Sol. We bought tickets for the double deck tour bus. This bus is very similar to the one in Cuenca.
Although it is difficult to take decent pictures from a moving vehicle, I took some to share with you. These are just scenes from the tree top level of Madrid....no particular order or rhyme of reason... just things that caught my eye.

text: I am a connector. I received a word from God (he does that a lot actually) that I have been given the "ministry of reconciliation" (and so have all Christians) however I think mine is an extension of my personality. I connect people to God, people to people, products to services, products to people, people to ideas. I think connecting people to ideas is the most powerful one. I was at the M.C.G. today for the 1st day of a 5 day Cricket Test on Boxing Day (see date of post) and the punters (audience) were so bored that people gathered all the beer containers they could find and stacked them together into large towers 20 feet and longer until the Police stopped them. The fascinating thing was that people give to vision. People follow leaders and leaders have ideas. Someone had the vision or "idea" to make a huge pillar of beer tubs and everyone made huge effort to help that person or people achieve their dream. I know you have a dream within you and my hope for this blog (and I have faith this will occur) is that somewhere weaved between these musings you will find and achieve your dream. Because I am here to connect you with Your Idea.

This investigation's goal was to add to the small body of research on pragmalinguistic acquisition of L2 Spanish. Specifically, it centered on the production of complaints in Spanish. Data was collected via a written Discourse Completion Task (DCT) of a complaint-provoking situation presented in a website voiceboard to two non-native speaker (NNS) students groups of different proficiency levels and to a native speaker (NS) control group. The lower proficiency group was comprised of 11 NNS enrolled in a 200 level beginning/intermediate Spanish grammar class and the advanced proficiency group of 11 NNS enrolled in a 400 level advanced Spanish conversation …

Current research shows a positive relationship between the use of written synchronous computer-mediated communication (SCMC) and oral production (Isenberg 2010; Kern 1995; Payne & Whitney, 2002). No prior investigations specifically analyze the effect of SCMC on the conjugation of simple present tense verbal forms in narratives produced by learners of Spanish in online environments. This semester-long study addressed this issue by systematically analyzing the effect of written SCMC on the oral production of present-tense verb conjugations in two different oral tasks by students in two different intermediate level online Spanish courses. Written chat (WC), a type of synchronous group discussion, …

Defines the maximum size in bytes of a reliable message which is considered small enough to include in a combined message. Default value = 100.
Since each message sent to a server contains IP information and a UDP header, duplicating this information for every message sent can be inefficient in the case where there are many small messages being sent frequently. Many small reliable messages can be combined into one longer reliable message, saving space in the waiting buffer. Unity Multiplayer will automatically combine up to MaxCombinedReliableMessageCount small messages into one message. To qualify as a small message, the data payload of the message should not be greater than MaxCombinedReliableMessageSize.

UPDATE: "'There are three groups of people in the world who are against the deal: War-mongering Republicans in the U.S., Netanyahu and hard-liners in Iran.'
[But g]ive Bibi some credit: It's hard to imagine many politicians who could suffer a historic defeat on their signature political issue, be blamed for bringing it about, and still somehow benefit."
Read Slate, Bibi Netanyahu Was the Iran Deal's Most Effective Salesman."
"Conservative opposition to Obama's expected deal with Iran is based on a critique of Obama's peculiar failings. He is naive in the face of evil, desperate for agreement, more willing to help his enemies than his friends. The problem is that conservatives have made this same diagnosis of every American president for 70 years. They do not merely oppose this deal, they oppose all of them, because they believe evil regimes cannot be negotiated with. Their analysis of the Iran negotiations is not an analysis at all, but an impulse.
None of this is to say that the Obama administration has handled Iran the correct way. Even if it has, the agreement is unsatisfactory for the same basic reasons that every treaty with a brutal regime is unsatisfactory. The truth neither Obama nor his critics will acknowledge is that there probably isn't any potential deal that can prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. On the other hand, bombing Iran is also unlikely to work, as is maintaining effective international sanctions for years on end. The least bad option will probably be, in the end, having to rely on deterrence to stop Iran. . .
But the conservative response to Obama's negotiations is the expression of a pathological inability to grapple with the limits of military power at all."
Read New York Magazine, Conservatives Hate the Iran Deal Because They Hate All Deals.
Read also, Vox, The Iran deal began with George W. Bush, which notes that " the deal, so partisan today, follows a set of principles that even George W. Bush embraced."
Moreover, after the Republ-con's treason, no better deal was possible.
Republi-cons always prefer war for their selfish political reasons

Iain Graham, James Rosewell and Mark Bridge return to review their mobile industry predictions from last year. Which mergers, partnerships and developments did they forecast correctly... and which didn't work out as planned?
Later in the programme, the team anticipates some of the topics that will be hitting the headlines during 2016.
UK telecoms regulator Ofcom has just published its Connected Nations report, which shows how the UK's communications infrastructure has changed in the past 12 months.
It notes that the roll-out of 4G coverage means that 67% of premises in the UK can now get 4G service from three of the 'big four' operators. That compares with 37% in 2014.
Mark Bridge writes:
The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.
That's where Kapture can help.
Mark Bridge writes:
James Rosewell shows me a colourful roll of paper that's the width of an iPhone but well over three metres long. When I look closer, I can see it's a printed copy of the Wall Street Journal's mobile website. That's a lot of scrolling to do... and a pretty unfriendly user experience for anyone reading the news online. Why does it work so badly?
The Apple Watch, originally announced in September last year, is to go on sale in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, the UK and the USA from Friday 24th April.
It's a companion device for customers with an Apple iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus.
