AQUELLA INDITA - Ballet Folklorico Nicaraguense
- I found too much literature towards / against someones else child: "Is Barron Trump Autistic? # StopTheBullying", with links to protect myself legally and from the same issues and matters, but I am not liable, if news are fake or real:
- Exept that I want to comment into the issue (of Barron Trump), as we live in a very well formed community and society: I am not a professional into Autism, never has been, never will be, or interested of matters from "health", so I am unable to comment any further, but as Psychology student all my life and since younger:
I see Barron a normal boy with professional parents, that is growing up and acts the way he seek better, polite, but he wants to be himself and maybe he doesn't want to be touched, because he passed that stage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZAd5Pu9iw4&feature=youtu.be
I am unable to relate into how, an American boy as Barron Trump should act, speak and perform in public, perhaps gives the bad impression, but again that is his personality.
From time to time peoples enjoy own company and I don´t see what is the problem, I enjoy mine now to the fullest after married to "family problems" and after divorce, for me now is heaven! -
I see Barron as the only child most of the time, as the rest of his half brothers and half sisters are older than him, married and have family and in that case, I was the same, even as large family, I could not relate to any of my sisters and brothers, so I end up making friends. After more than 30 years those friends become friends of my family and even purchase them with benefits, favours and grants, that I become feed up making friends and today, I don't fully care.
I see Barron in the spot life and need to relate at school the next day, so how do you want him to relate in public, when your father is super famous and now for the believe of many, he is the President of the Unites States of America.
Please leave the media alone and thanks God that we care and comment about anything, that is caring not malicious gossip and spread, learn to divide one to another, as without us / media, Mr Trump would not be elected, President of the United States and the Criminal activity would not be exposed (see inside this link: http://tinyurl.com/zc3aevf ), at any time! -
Now if you really want to find out about your child's matters to have peace of mind, then seek a professional, but I see Barron Trump a very well adjusted boy, educate, with excellent manners and a credit to his parents. http://tinyurl.com/gs8hm2a
1- Remember what it was like in your childhood, so stop any kind of abuse against your own child, or the rest, as this should be set as bullying - crime in law, because the after effects can be catastrofic and can kills for revenge (http://tinyurl.com/kvbazhr) as I lost unborn children, even hide own profession to take advantage (http://tinyurl.com/ndpyqmx) and perhaps in order to satiate own lower instints (as following link: http://tinyurl.com/oxfyppg could not reach out of fresh air and with respect to The Queen, but need a social worker like the ex/husband sister and helpers, to manipulate the complete community!), today nobody remembers and even hide with our kind (children) or "confidentiality acts" the bully ( http://tinyurl.com/kvbazhr ) coward!
2- As this happened to me by my elders sisters and killed my unborn children with own lies, spread and intolerance ( http://tinyurl.com/nbbwal6 ). What started perhaps as (bullying) games, today don't remember, suffer mental issues, or passed away (RIP) and the same reflects with the ex-husband and his sister social worker "family problems (see #1)" as "we were set and mach in the past (forced to terminate boyfriends in the past and I can probe legally of the same!)" and by members of my direct family (elder sister flor, always spoke of someone helping her & husband business, living in pachuca http://tinyurl.com/n9d85kc), that took advantage of our family position and background and sold me to pay own family fortunes (Factory Zematex http://tinyurl.com/zz8crdd), education, housing, etc. http://tinyurl.com/pwy8o7t I wonder where is my family today (broter and sisters today, RIP) and who kept the rewards, hard work, money and fortunes?!- http://tinyurl.com/p65yq9e I expose in the open as my blog explain, because I never takes any advantage or revenge, but I got no contact (http://tinyurl.com/j3d5chm) with family members for a long time, the rest is complete lies, but I want to stop hatred, tales and bullying, because the law is useless and hide the culprit with "confidentiality acts", so when? -
However, how many famous boys (see photo, Mexican President own child!) relate as good as Barron Trump in a long Presidential Campaign for his father and even after (http://tinyurl.com/j7mujvb) and may refer to the Autistic manners as the video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZAd5Pu9iw4) speak, because so many children of today (not matter age!) lost respect to our society when parents fails to educate properly, but think careful how the whole Presidential status was performed, now for a young boy (7 days a week, 12 months in a year .. until run for Presidency!!!) and with respect? -
etc ..
In other words and plan English, this is the model "Barron Trump" that we want to perform into our "non-perfect" social life, but still carry on full respect and responsibilities to society and even politics standards / affairs! - In other words and plain English, Barron Trump was told since day one, how to behave for the complete Presidency matters and never failed, not even once, but occasionally show uneasy and tiredness, but we all act and react that way in a long day at work! -
We need to set standards to our children not matter money, status, age, colour, religion, incapacity, disability, sexual orientation, politics affairs and/or any other issues, but well behave children that understand own platform in life and never shy themselves from own education, ethics, professional matters and even responsibilities ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-36985479 ), as you can see the rest of Trump family and children, how they address to own father, mother and siblings in public, even from different kind of mothers, but with respect.
So I salute the Trump clan, or any other Family clan, that can fix own children and create a good standards of life, into a "non/perfect world", as this behaviour of "respect", we need for our future generation, "a good example", not a "trash one", that when we see this kind of model (Barron Trump ) the envy brew fast, the hate runs miles with spread and the lies start.
No, we don't want "the perfect family syndrome", we passed all that attitude long time ago, but we demand "respect from / for any family", towards the rest. I protect me and mine (children) legally, as I have the rights to write of any issues that concern our community and standards, including and non extent our own kind (http://tinyurl.com/zpegz7p) and teach my children not matter age, even if I need to expose the abuse without suffering reprisals and as student of law and that my Lord is my witness, so be it in law, Rosario Castellanos de Parker

I am 22 years old and I am married and have two children. My husband works full-time and goes to school full-time so I am home with the children all day everyday. I was never sad all the time like I am now. My sadness started ever since we bought a house with my uncle and we are living with him and my cousin. My uncle and cousin are great people but I just want to live on my own and be my own family. Another thing that makes me sad all the time is that my husband is never home. He never spends time with us and I know he would rather be with us than be at school or work but I just can't take it sometimes. I never want to hurt myself but I feel sad all the time and cry. Most of the time I cry myself to sleep. Is this really depression?? I just want to be happy and enjoy life and I would like to enjoy it with my husband I hate it when he comes home and I'm sad like this, its enough he has a hard day everyday.

Hi young mom,
It is possible that you are experiencing some depression. Clearly, there are a number of things that are troubling you. Among these problems are:
1. Being home with the two children all day and everyday,
2. Having to share your home with your uncle and cousin even though you love them,
3. Your husband never being home because he works all day and attends school at night.
1. It is difficult to be home alone with the children all day. You need to find ways to get out of the house and talk to other adults. The fresh air will do you good. There are groups of young mothers who meet, share baby sitting time and take the opportunity to speak to and go out with the other moms.
2. No one is comfortable having to share their home with relatives regardless of how much they are loved. You and your husband are a young couple and need time to have privacy. I am sure that your uncle and cousin feel like intruders even though you wish it did not feel that way. I do not know the solutions to this problem. Perhaps there is no solution until your husband finishes school, gets a better paying job and you can afford a home of your own.
3. You and your husband are like many young couples who are working hard to build a better future for your selves. This is commendable but the two of you must find time to be together away from work, home and children. Your uncle appears to be a built in baby sitter for now. Why not use him to watch the kids while you and your husband go out and have some private and romantic time together?
Lastly, it is probably a good idea for you to speak to a therapist to help you learn how to cope with your situation and feel better. You may not need medication at all but just someone professional to talk to.
I can really understand your feeling bad. At present, your life sounds lonely and isolated, yes, even with the children. Children are wonderful, But, even Moms need to find time for themselves, to go out, socialize, have some fun and be away from the kids for a while.
I really want to encourage you to try these suggestions.

Note: This was a piece which I wrote for the Kyiv Weekly on the twentieth anniversary of the Chornobyl Nuclear Catastrophe in 2006. The Kyiv Weekly stopped publishing its English language edition some time earlier in 2014. So here is just the copy as I have it from my personal archives which I came across today while going through some files for a book I'm working on. There were photographs in the published article which Olena had supplied, maybe she will be kind enough to scan a few for me to include here.
When she dreams, she doesn't dream about things that are contemporary but rather from her childhood – and the events that happened before the catastrophe at the Chornobyl NPS on April 26, 1986, twenty years ago.
When the ChNPS started to burn early in the morning that April, Olena Mokhnyk, now twenty-eight years old, was asleep in her bed in the city of Prypyat. The city was built by the Soviet government to house the employees of the ChNPS. By 1986, the city had grown to a population of about 50,000. In the morning, like all the other children her age, Olena got up and went to school.
"When we got to school that Saturday morning our teachers were already aware that there was something wrong. We were given some type of tablets to take but we never swallowed them. Instead, we went to the bathroom and spit them out," Olena told Kyiv Weekly.
In retrospect, it is probably fair to suggest that these were iodine supplements, since the authorities must have known something about the effects of radiation and how iodine deficient organisms would absorb radioactive iodine and how this might affect early childhood development.
"When we were sent home from school that morning, we all wanted to go and watch it burn, but along the way some parents directed us to go home," said Olena.
Though that night, Olena together with her older brother and sister watched Chornobyl burn from their balcony.
"Not only could we see the fire, we could see lights being shone from above. It was as if something was shining down from the heavens!" Olena said with a look on her face as if she was living through the experience all over again.
Olena's family learned first hand that something terrible had happened from Olena's uncle who worked at the plant. He had been on an early shift sitting in the exact place of his colleague whose grave became Chornobyl and the concrete sarcophagus that covered the plant once the fire had been extinguished. Later her uncle returned to work at Chornobyl, feeling the guilt that his colleague had lost his life.
On April 27, everyone in Olena's family listened to the fixed wire radio, which was present in practically all Soviet homes at the time.
"We heard the familiar voice of a local poetess who told us that there was going to be an evacuation," said Olena. We gathered all we could take with us and made our way down to the square in front of our building. We waited for what seemed like an eternity, but it was about 3 hours before buses began to arrive. As we drove away from the place that I would not return to for nineteen years and traveled towards Kyiv, the people in charge of the buses wanted to leave us in some village in the middle of nowhere! But our parents and others demanded that we had to be taken to Kyiv," Olena explained all the while as if in a dream.
Alone without parentsWhen they arrived in Kyiv, Olena's parents decided to send their children to their maternal grandmother's in Kharkiv, as distant a place they could think of in order to provide the appropriate care for their children.
"When we arrived at my grandmother's some news had already spread regarding to what had had happened. Our grandmother was a pharmacist and when we got there she didn't waste much time in taking us to the local radiology laboratory. My brother, sister and I stood there and we were checked with a dosimeter. The doctors quickly scurried out of the examination room. We waited. Then the door opened, and in walked the doctors dressed up in what looked like space suits," Olena expressed as if she were still a child.
The doctors decided that all the children should be scrubbed down. "After we went through that procedure, they tested us with the dosimeter again. All the areas of our skin that were washed showed a normal reading. Then they ran the dosimeter near our heads. The readings went well over normal, and that is when they shaved our heads," said Olena.
Olena and her siblings were then sent to a pioneer camp on the outskirts of Odesa. It was there and outside the camp that they faced the harshest words from children of their own age who were not from the evacuation zone.
"They called us hedgehogs," said Olena running her fingers through her now neck-length hair. Their hair, which had started to grow back, was bristly and truly looked like the bristling hairs of a hedgehog.
"It was difficult at times, because all we had was our older brother who would look out for us but he wasn't much older than we were," said Olena.
During the months that followed, the children were visited by their parents a few times, and it wasn't until six months later at the end of November that they were all reunited in Kyiv.
Shattered dreams, closureWhile still in Prypyat, Olena had been told by her teachers that on account of her good grades, she would be skipping a grade, partially due to the fact that she had been attending school with her older sister. When she arrived in Kyiv, this was one of her greatest concerns.
"I was always asking my mother if what I had been promised and whether I would be going into the fourth grade would come true. But her reply would be, 'We'll see!'", said Olena.
Olena together with her family were often ostracized as if they were to blame for their predicament.
When they first moved into the apartment they were provided with, it was empty and her parents had a hard time finding work. Her mother and she were always at odds with the teachers at the school as they tried to ensure that what she had been promised back in Prypyat would come to be.
Needless to say, the promise never came true, like many of the other promises made by people and the government. "For years now I haven't even bothered trying to get the subsidies that I'm entitled to, as it is more a headache than worth the while. But my mother still goes through the whole process of getting all the different pieces of paper in order that she still collects her benefits," Olena explained.
What seems to be more important to Olena is what she experienced last year when she returned to Prypyat for the nineteenth anniversary of the accident. She then returned not only to the family's old apartment, but also to her old classroom. However, each of those more recent experiences she has had are stories in and of themselves. The game goes for the recollections of her sister and brother of a catastrophe that happened twenty years ago, but that first journey home for her can be considered closure and maybe someday soon she will start to have other types of dreams.

Airline dispatcher course
My name is Ashish and I want to know that what qualifications is required to to do the flight dispatcher course .At current I am working but I want to do this course. Help me
Asked 4 Jul 2015 by Ashish K
Tagged with Airman - Engineering & Technical Trades
Hi Ashish,
There are a couple of different places in New Zealand that offer this course, however I would look at the Air New Zealand Aviation Institute and Service IQ first.
There are different levels of qualification when it comes to working in aviation and most will require you to have NCEA Level 2 or equivalent. If you don't have this, there are supplementary courses which you can take to get this qualification first.
Hope this helps,

Motorola is back in the Philippines' mobile phones scene, and this month, 3 devices will be available on our market including their new flagship model: the new Motorola Moto X, along with the lower tier Moto E and Moto G.
New Motorola Moto X
The new Motorola Moto X runs on the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system out of the box. It sports a 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor (MSM 8974-AC), paired with Adreno 330 GPU at @ 578MHz. It has 2GB of RAM and internal storage at 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB (Moto X Pure Edition only) variants.
This flagship is slated with a 5.2″ AMOLED display, at FULL HD resolution (1920×1080 pixels, 423 ppi) Corning Gorilla Glass 3 screen. It has 4G LTE network support with Nano SIM slot, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, and 802.11a/g/b/n/ac WIFi. The battery it packs is a 2300mAh that is TurboPower-enabled paired with a TurboPower 15 charger.
The rear camera on the Moto X is a 13 MP shooter, with f/2.25 aperture and ring flash (with dual LEDs). It is capable of 4K UHD video capture, and a some advance shooting modes. The front snapper is at 2MP.
The Motorola Moto X comes with a couple of customization options, from colored, leather, or wood back covers and accent colors. Aside from all these premium features and specs, the Moto X adapts to how you use it with Moto Voice, Moto Assist, Moto Display, and Moto Actions.
New Motorola Moto G
The new Motorola Moto G runs on the latest Android Lollipop 5.1.1 OS out of the box. It sports a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 (MSM8916) processor at 1.4 GHz clock speed paired with Adreno 306 GPU @ 400 MHz. It comes with 8 GB storage + 1 GB RAM or 16 GB storage + 2 GB RAM variants, both with micro SD card slot, supporting up to 32GB in capacity.
The display is a 5-inches 720p HD (1280 x 720, 294 ppi) screen, coated with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. It packs a 2470 mAh battery and also supports 4G LTE networks. It supports a micro SIM, Bluetooth 4.0, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, but no NFC for this one.
The rear camera is a 13 MP lens with f/2.0 aperture, and dual-LED flash. The front camera is a 5MP at f/2.2, both shooters with a bunch of advanced features. Just like the Moto X, the Moto G also offers hefty customization options.
New Motorola Moto E
The second gen Moto E also comes with Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system out of the box. It comes with 2 variants, an LTE and a 3G-only one which differs in such way:
- 4G LTE: Qualcomm Snapdragon™ 410 processor with 1.2 GHz quad-core CPU, Adreno 306 with 400 MHz GPU
- 3G: Qualcomm Snapdragon™ 200 processor with 1.2 GHz quad-core CPU, Adreno 302 with 400 MHz GPU
It comes with 1GB of RAM, and 8GB internal storage capacity with micro SD card support of up to 32GB in size.
It has 4.5″ qHD (540×960, 245 ppi) IPS display, coated with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection and Anti-smudge coating.
The battery of the Moto E is at 2390 mAh capacity. It has 5 MP rear camera with f/2.2 aperture, and a VGA front snapper. It supports Micro-SIM. It doesnt have NFC, and is obviously on the budget-tier among the three.
What we are excited among these 3 new Motorola Moto smartphones, is the flagship Moto X. It has promising specifications, with the correct price-point, I honestly would say that it might be able to beat the competition from other high-tier smartphones that are locally available in the PH for my personal choice.

Our four days at Gamescom have been a total madness. But, oh, what a sweet madness!
World to the West was part of the Nintendo booth at the event, as you know, along with other great Nindies (don't you love the name?) for Wii U: Severed, Jotun, Super Meat Boy, SteamWorld Heist and Axiom Verge. We were confident that our game would be greeted warmly, given the reception and success that Teslagrad achieved when it was released on Wii U. And yes, that proved to be quite right.

Pens Roundup: D'Agostini Practicesby Michelle Crechiolo / Pittsburgh Penguins
Penguins winger Matt D'Agostini returned to team practice on Wednesday for the first time since sustaining a lower-body injury on Sept. 23.
He was hurt in the first period of Pittsburgh's preseason game against Chicago, logging just 1:18 minutes of ice time before leaving the game. He was originally listed as day-to-day, but his injury did not progress as hoped and the Penguins announced on Oct. 2 that he had been placed on long-term injured reserve – meaning he must remain out for a minimum of 24 calendar days and 10 games.
So D'Agostini still has some time before he is eligible for a return, but in the meantime, he's excited to take the next step of skating with his teammates after doing morning sessions with strength and conditioning coach Mike Kadar for some time now.
"It has been a long time so it feels good to do line rushes and stuff like that, to kind of get me back into game mode as quick as possible," he said. "Still going to have a lot more time before I get into games, but felt good to get out there with the guys."
In terms of the next step after this, D'Agostini said, "as long as I feel good and healthy I'll be out there with the guys and then we will go from there. "
It's been a tough start for D'Agostini in his first season with the Penguins after signing a one-year, $550,000 deal with the team in the offseason.
Entering the season, head coach Dan Bylsma named D'Agostini as a top candidate to play on the third line. He skated there with Brandon Sutter and Jussi Jokinen during training camp and was impressive during the scrimmages, but his momentum was derailed with the injury.
D'Agostini admitted that his situation has been frustrating, saying, "you want to come into a new situation and make a good impression right away and obviously getting off to a slow start."
But he can only control what he can control, and right now that's to work as hard as he can to get back into game action.
"Just doing my best in practice to prove myself and when I get my chance again, just go out there and play my game," he said.
* Defenseman Kris Letang took the next step in his recovery from a lower-body injury by participating in his first full team practice on Wednesday.
He had been skating with his teammates since last Friday, but only in 30-minute sessions. Today, he remained on the ice for the entire duration of practice.
Bylsma called Letang and D'Agostini "two guys that are moving along in their return to play."
Forwards James Neal (upper-body, week-to-week) and Beau Bennett (lower-body, day-to-day) were absent from practice.
Defenseman Olli Maatta left the ice at one point during practice, but returned about 10 minutes later. "Olli Maatta left the ice just to get checked," Bylsma said. "He was right back out, don't think it was anything significant."
* The Pens wore colored jerseys for their skate. Here's how they looked…
Black: Kunitz-Crosby-Dupuis
White: Jokinen-Malkin-Kobasew
Gray: Glass-Sutter-Adams
Gold: Vitale, Zolnierczyk, Engelland (filling in)
Blue: Jeffrey, D'Agostini
The other seven defensemen (Orpik, Martin, Scuderi, Niskanen, Bortuzzo, Maatta and Letang) rotated through their pairings.

About Ward Scott
Ward Scott, sometimes known as "The Warthog" has been a major force in public service in Alachua County for many years. Ward has freely given a large amount of his time for the betterment of our community.
Retired from the classroom, currently you can hear Ward on the "The Ward Scott Files," a live, call-in, conservative talk show on 980 AM and 94.1 FM from 7:00 AM until 9:00 AM, Monday through Friday.
"I am a teacher by trade", Ward says. "I approach this radio show as I would a classroom. I present interesting material in a way that can be absorbed by the masses and in a manner that will make the audience question it and participate in discussion. Making people think is the way of a teacher. You hear us say, "The truth is out there." Helping people see the truth is my first goal."
Ward's radio career started with "The Ward Scott Files", a segment of another talk show, created when a member of the community requested and received audio files of informal meetings conducted by the Alachua County Board of Commissioners prior to their public meetings. These recordings were brought to Ward's attention after a public records requests.
Listening to Meeting After Meeting
Ward plowed through hours and hours of meetings recorded on CDs in the worst possible circumstances and at times unable to understand what was said. Ward remarked, "That alone should get me a community service medal!" After hours of listening to meeting after meeting, Ward understood that informing the public on the radio show was not enough and The Ward Scott Files were put on the air as audio files condensed down versions of recorded meetings that used commentary and sound bites to shine the spotlight on many elected officials broadcasting what they said in a meeting when they thought no one would ever hear.
Thanks to The Ward Scott Files, the public was made aware of what sounded like violations of The Florida Sunshine Law and "member on member" manipulation of the county commission to move personal agendas forward even when they were not in the best interest of the citizens of Alachua County.
Ward Scott's Accolades, Awards, and Honors
Since The Ward Scott Files aired, one long time county commissioner decided not to run again for office, one resigned, a county manager moved on to another job, an investigation was launched into Florida Sunshine Law violations, and the "meetings before the meetings" are now televised on the government cable channel. The Ward Scott Files got RESULTS!
Ward is married to Barbara Heim Scott, Pre-K teacher (RET) of students
with special needs at Littlewood Elementary School of Gainesville.
Ward Scott received his BA degree in 1966 from the University of Florida and in 1969 he received his master's in education from UF.

"The job of the teacher," as Ward sees it, "is to bring out the greatness in students, helping them to unlock and tap into the talents they have and above all else, share them with the public so that someone's life is enriched."
The classroom has no walls in time or space. Therefore, the true worth of teachers is not measured by how long they spend in the physical classroom, or by how popular they are with their classes. The true worth of teachers is measured by their students' accomplishments.

Very few realized that we learn from our past mistakes, and if we are lucky, we learn from other's past mistakes as well.
Ward Scott - Difference Maker
We are all students of life going to class every day, learning and doing our homework and we are not graded on a curve. Graduation from life is when we no longer exist, and then our learning days are over. Maybe, just maybe we will have left a legacy, and we will have made a difference.
Ward Scott is many things: teacher, politician, visionary, the go-to guy to get the job done, political pundit, commentator, and dedicated citizen. Most importantly Ward is a "difference maker"

(Full time) 2019 start
French BA
With a diverse cultural heritage and varied history, France has been hugely influential in the shaping of the modern world. As a major economic and political force, it continues to play an important role today. This French degree will allow you to gain a thorough knowledge of this global language while building an awareness of French and Francophone culture.
You'll improve your spoken and written French through core language modules, but you'll also explore areas of French culture, politics, history and literature that interest you. Because we're one of the biggest French units in the UK, we can offer flexible French degrees with an array of optional modules on topics from politics and philosophy to chivalry in medieval France, via the history of the French language and postcolonial Francophone cinema.
French at Leeds is also distinctive because translation is an integral part of our degree from your first year, providing an opportunity to specialise in this area if you want to progress to our Masters courses in translation.
Specialist facilities
Leeds offers great facilities for language students. Digital language labs, audio/video practice booths and Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) are all available in our fully-equipped Language Zone. There's also an extensive lending library of foreign films and newspapers, as well as other on-demand resources.
Our Interpreter Training Suites also offer you the chance to explore a career in interpreting, and our Electronic Resource Information Centre houses specialised computing facilities to support translation studies.
Course content
In your first two years, you'll consolidate your written and spoken French through core language modules, as well as being introduced to key aspects of French culture.
As you progress, more of the teaching is conducted in French, and you'll spend more time working independently to explore your own ideas and build your critical skills. All of this will serve to prepare you for your third year, where you will push your French language skills further as you spend a year working or studying in France or another Francophone country.
Having immersed yourself in the local culture, you'll return to Leeds with a new perspective for your final year. Advanced language modules will help you refine your skills, while you'll enjoy an even wider choice of optional modules on topics from all periods of literature to the use of French in a professional context. You'll then undertake an independently researched dissertation or annotated translation (Final Year Project) to put the skills you've developed into practice.

After being on the road for 11 of the last 12 days, I was looking forward to cooking again. However, I would be remiss if I did not describe our last meal in New York City. I was anxious to rest our last night and was planning on having an "acceptable" dinner. As I explained that to my wife a woman overheard me and commented that an "acceptable" meal seemed boring. I quietly agreed and sought out assistance over the web for a final Italian meal that was within walking distance of Times Square, not in Hell's Kitchen and not a tourist stop. I found a diamond in La Masseria. I strongly suggest reservations but they squeezed us in as we were just two. We passed several groups in the bar that had been waiting for a while. We began by sharing Fritto Misto Del Mare (fried calamari, shrimp and scallops). My wife order Gnocchi Al Taleggio e Radicchio (gnocchi in a cheeses sauce) and I Coniglio Alla Caprese (roasted rabbit in a wine sauce) and a half order of spaghetti in a basic Italian gravy. The meal was excellent. The recipe of the week is also Italian. It is Fettuccine with Ham and a Tomato Cream Sauce. Basically, Italian gravy, with ham and heavy cream added. It is lighter than the traditional pasta and ham in a cream sauce while keeping the increased flavor of dairy goodness. Delicious! Enjoy!
FiOS and U-verse
Verizon announced its earnings last week and showed very good growth and profitability in its wireless business. While AT&T's wireless numbers showed less profitability than Verizon's, they too were very good. Therefore, why the long faces from both these companies? Both saw continued erosion of margin, decrease in the number of customers and increased cost to support their wireline businesses. Moreover, while many consider FiOS and U-verse to be the future replacement for the companies' current wireline infrastructure, Verizon seems to be crying "uncle" even there. Earlier this year, Verizon announced that it would no longer seek to permission to provide TV services in all markets where FiOS is available and it would not expand into new markets. Verizon wireless is 50% owned by Vodafone, therefore the $16.3 billion in revenue reported by Verizon wireless is actually a little more than $8 billion to Verizon alone. That means it still is receiving more revenue from its declining wireline business, $10.3 billion than it wireless business. However, back to margins, wireless is experiencing 47.2% as non-wireless segments are delivering 20.8%. Verizon knows that IP communications and services is the future but they also need to reduce their operating cost and increase their penetration rate for FiOS. AT&T is having continued success with the iPhone as it reported 2.6 million new wireless subscribers. It also seems to be happier with its overall performance with 236,000 new U-verse subscribers, a 30 percent increase in IP data revenues and the first year-over-year growth in wireline consumer revenue. ARPU for U-verse customers was about $160 as opposed to $146 for FiOS customers. However, AT&T may need to change its last mile strategy from copper to fiber as data rate expectations continue to grow. Currently, U-verse tops out at 24 Mbps and Verizon is upping the top end to 100Mbps. We will see in time which company does best at positioning for the future as it rewards its shareholders now.

www.pnhp.org -- A research team at Harvard Medical School estimates 2,266 U.S. military veterans under the age of 65 died last year because they lacked health insurance and thus had reduced access to care. That figure is more than 14 times the number of deaths (155) suffered by U.S. troops in Afghanistan in 2008, and more than twice as many as have died (911 as of Oct. 31) since the war began in 2001.

It's not only that. The DOL keeps homeless vets out on the streets as bums because they fail government's spelling contest: military discharge papers use slashes whereas civil servants expect commas. The DOL needs that to funnel the funds to jobless mortgage debtors, proving they are in bed with the banking industry.
Hmm, another victory coming?

Very expedient. I am sure the research team at Harvard Medical School is in no way connected to Big Pharma.

Carlito, what does big pharma have to do with vets dying in crazy numbers because money stops them from getting health care?

Guiding Questions
Prior to viewing the video segment, spend 3 or 4 minutes brainstorming what you know about or think you know about Muslim women. Write down key words and concepts.
How does this brief introduction to the women of this program compare to the words you have 'brainstormed'?
What is your biggest surprise regarding this clip and what you previously thought about women in the Arab world? Have any of your preconceptions changed?
Background Essay
Fawzia Salama, Rania Barghout, Muna AbuSulayman, and Farah Besiso are the women of Kalam Nawaem, "Sweet Talk." This program is a hugely popular talk show on MBC, the first independent Arabic language satellite TV station. The 60-minute program is watched by millions of viewers across the Arab world and throughout Europe, Africa and the United States.
Prior to 1990, television viewers in the Arab world had to rely upon the state for their programming options. There were not many channels available, and what was available was subject to government oversight. Since 1990, however, satellite TV has emerged as a popular alternative to standard broadcast stations. Currently, there are more than 200 satellite channels available, many of which confront formerly taboo topics such as sex education, homosexuality, domestic abuse, and gender inequality. The dramatic growth in independent journalism has led to live reporting, news analysis, political debates, and talk shows.
MBC was the first independent Arabic satellite television station, and it serves more than 130 million people around the world. One of its most popular shows is
Kalam Nawaem
, an all-female talk show. (
Kalam Nawaem
translates to English as
Soft Talk
, or
Sweet Talk
.) There are four hostesses who come from different backgrounds, and their goal is to discuss both new and frequent issues in the Arab world.
There are two parts to
Kalam Nawaem
. First, there is the celebrity feature, a portion of the show where there is an appearance by a celebrity guest. An informal conversation with the guest is followed by questions from the audience. Second, and perhaps more importantly, there is the lively discussion of controversial issues. The hostesses - Lebanese Rania Barghoot, Palestinian Farah Bseiso, Egyptian Dr. Fawziah Salamah, and Saudi Muna Abu Suleiman - hope that bringing these issues to light will create a dialogue about finding solutions that all people will accept and support.
In the episode entitled DISHING DEMOCRACY, WIDE ANGLE goes behind the scenes at
Kalam Nawaem
to discover how these four hostesses are boldly and effectively encouraging social reform within the Arab world.
The word Kalam Nawaem is the sweet talk. They thought it's only for girls and it's only for women. It's not like this. We are talking about lots of issues.
We spoke about masturbation, we spoke about infidelity, we spoke about incest, we spoke about things that you would not believe that you could speak about in the Arab world and on Arab television.
Kalam Nawaem is a view of life of society from a woman's perspective. And I think this is new.
I think that I help to shift ideas. I'm helping to change the way people think about things.
Kalam Nawaem is a place for women to speak out. I'm very spontaneous I say everything that comes to my mind. I have no taboos; they edit me out a lot.
Muna is the academic, she has this vast knowledge, and experience. And she is kind of the voice of reason in the program.
I represent, you know, the person who is, according to the viewer, a bit conservative, because I would be wearing the hijab. I represent the Gulf region. I was the first woman, on international satellite that was Saudi, and you know, that wore the scarf or wore hijab. And, you know, I like being the first.
Farah is maybe a little timid, she's so sweet, and she's so innocent, and she says everything that comes out.
I don't deal with the viewers as if they are stupid people and I can act on them, they are not. They see you from your eye shine. They can know if you are talking and saying the truth. Or you are lying and bluffing on them.
Fawzia is the voice of wisdom in the program, you know, with the age.
When MBC started, at that time, I probably was one of a kind. I was a prominent woman journalist. And people think of me as the mother figure. And I am very happy to be that.
Fawzia Salama, Rania Barghout, Muna AbuSulayman, and Farah Besiso, these are the women of Kalam Nawaem, Sweet Talk, a hugely popular talk show on MBC, the first independent Arabic language satellite TV station. The 60-minute program, launched in 2002, airs Sunday evening and is watched by millions of viewers across the Arab world and throughout Europe, Africa and the United States.

Dominion Headquarters was a Central Command facility on Cardassia Prime from which several senior Dominion officials, Cardassian Legates Dukat, Damar and Broca, the Female Changeling, and several clones of Weyoun directed the war against the Federation and its allies from mid-2374 to late 2375 following the fall of Terok Nor.
A high-security facility, the main doors were composed of neutronium, making them impervious to conventional explosives. The interior was rather spartan, with minimal decorations other than the Dominion and Cardassian logos. The main room featured a large monitor where the Female Changeling and others could communicate with commanders as well as observe fleet movements. Each official had their own quarters, including the Female Changeling. In late-2375, she had a secure communications system installed so she could conduct secret negotiations with the Breen.
Shortly after the Cardassian Rebellion began, Dominion Headquarters issued an order that no armed Cardassians were to be allowed aboard Dominion starships. (DS9: "Tacking Into the Wind")
During the final hours of the war, forces from the Cardassian Rebellion, led by Damar, stormed the headquarters. Though several Cardassians, including Damar himself, were killed during the assault, resistance members Kira Nerys, Elim Garak, and Ekoor managed to secure the facility and capture the Founder. There, Odo came to convince the Female Changeling to order Dominion forces to stand down, and she agreed. (DS9: "What You Leave Behind")

Revit Design Adventures: Second Iteration Complete (10)
So why did we need 8 or 9 posts just to cover the first iteration and only one post for the second? First, the initial nine posts are including the setup and modeling of the basic building. They really only represent a few hours of time. The second reason is that the second iteration has very little to change. So let's get this done.
In the last post we left off here...
Save as, new version.
The client has mentioned that a sloped ceiling is preferable so we will start modelling that. We need to get rid of the existing skylight wells (that we worked so hard to make, typical) and draw a thicker roof on top of the existing roof.
Phasing is always an issue that you need to think of first. Because the new roof configuration is both roof and ceiling we will need to make another one in the same place as the existing and put it on Phase 1. The skylights were hosted to the existing roof and now we need to rehost them to the Phase 1 roof.
We render it again and send it to the client in under an hour, all in. (Should have waited a day before emailing it ;-)) They like it but now wonder how a bulkhead with lights might look. This will present some modeling challenges as well as fixing a little foible in the stock Revit pot-lights.
Next Post in Series: Ceiling Bulkheads
Previous Post in Series: Dirty Little Secret
In the spirit of skylights...

text: Thidar Linn, Speak for yourself !! Your sentiments certainly do not represent mine and many others like me who know how to see , think and speak for our selves. You have truly spoken like all the other stooges of SLORC , and you certainly sound so pathetic. One other reason, apart from using military brute force , that keeps SLORC/SPDC in power is having such ignoramous like you to help them do their dirty propaganda work. In fact, you are to be pitied for your shallow depth of mentality and worldly knowledge and the few crumbs that is thrown your way probably keeps you contented. True , Burma and her people suffered during the colonial and Japanese rule, but just ask anyone (who has a mind of his own ) and they will tell you our military dictators have come out tops in inflicting misery,pain and poverty on their own people. Please try to get some real information on what is happening around the world today , instead of just mouthing words that have been rammed down your throat and into your little head. Unfortunately you may not have access to real a NEWSPAPER . All you have is your PROPAGANDA PAPER. Please realise the import and impact of an INTERNATIONAL outcry ! It is not just the ravings of a few "dissidents" Above all, please don't demean the people of Burma by "representing" them with your thoughts. They can see and think for themselves . The only problem is they cannot speak for themselves , as long as military has the power to muzzle them. Please - Speak for Yourself only.

Is this the first taste of new 'Batman' film? Er, no
A teaser trailer for the latest Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, has hit the internet, but with many fans questioning its validity.
The trailer shows the Motion Picture Association of America certification, followed by the real company logos and then enticing text which reveals, "The storm is coming to Gotham".
The scrawl is followed by bats flying over a blood red sky, as lightning illuminates the city.
Check it out below:
But after less than a day, fans including PrettyMuchIt, have uncovered where the trailer falls short of authenticity.
First up the MPAA rating that precedes all trailers has had an update recently, which the new trailer would have, if it were legitimate.
The companies logo's – Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures – have been grabbed straight from a Clash of the Titans trailer.
As for the, admittedly impressive, 'bats in a storm', these are evidently nothing more than a few shots of a BBC documentary featuring fruitbats.
The Dark Knight Rises is due for UK release on July 20.
