We see the gradual moral deterioration of our society, no regard for human life. This timeline is found on the National Right to Life website...
Abortion History Timeline
The American Law Institute (ALI) proposes a model penal code for state abortion laws. The code advocates legalizing abortion for reasons including the mental or physical health of the mother, pregnancy due to rape and incest, and fetal deformity.
Apr. 25: Colorado Gov. John A. Love signs the first "liberalized" ALI-model abortion law in the United States, allowing abortion in cases of permanent mental or physical disability of either the child or mother or in cases of rape or incest. Similar laws are passed in California, Oregon, and North Carolina.
The Virginia Society for Human Life is founded becoming the first statewide right-to-life organization in the country.
As pro-abortion efforts continue and more state right-to-life organizations form, it becomes clear that there is a need for a national organization to coordinate the flow of information among the states. National Right to Life is formed in the summer of 1968 and publishes its first newsletter in October 1968. Over the next five years, the board of directors grows to include representatives with a diverse range of backgrounds including doctors, lawyers, nurses, homemakers, and educators.
Apr. 11: New York allows abortion on demand up to the 24th week of pregnancy, as Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller signs a bill repealing the state's 1830 law that banned abortion after quickening except to save a woman's life. Similar laws are passed in Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington state.
June: National Right to Life brings together state right-to-life leaders for a national strategy meeting at Barat College in Chicago, Illinois.
Apr. 21: The U.S. Supreme Court rules on its first case involving abortion in United States v. Vuitch, upholding a District of Columbia law permitting abortion only to preserve a woman's life or "health." However, the Court makes it clear that by "health" it means "psychological and physical well-being," effectively allowing abortion for any reason.
June: National Right to Life holds its first annual convention at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota.
By year's end a total of 13 states have an ALI-type law. Four states allow abortion on demand. Mississippi allows abortion for rape and incest [1966] while Alabama allows abortion for the mother's physical health [1954]. However, 31 states allow abortion only to save the mother's life.
New York repeals its 1970 abortion law but Gov. Rockefeller vetoes the repeal.
Jan. 22: The U.S. Supreme Court issues its ruling in Roe v. Wade, finding that a "right of privacy" it had earlier discovered was "broad enough to encompass" a right to abortion and adopting a trimester scheme of pregnancy. In the first trimester, a state could enact virtually no regulation. In the second trimester, the state could enact some regulation, but only for the purpose of protecting maternal "health." In the third trimester, after viability, a state could ostensibly "proscribe" abortion, provided it made exceptions to preserve the life and "health" of the woman seeking abortion. Issued on the same day, Doe v. Bolton defines "health" to mean "all factors" that affect the woman, including "physican, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman's age."

On my birthday I was on my way home from seeing my middle son. He usually invites me to his home on that occasion. Sunday, on I-85 I was rocketing along at just over the speed limit when I became aware that there was a car exactly on my bumper...close enough to tap me I would say.
I had just passed someone so I was in the passing lane still. Not able to go back to the right-most lane until the vehicle next to me either sped up or slowed down. The dimwit behind me used the very narrow place that suddenly opened up to my right as the car beside me did move faster, and dimwit shot around me nearly shaving my bumper...and decided to gift me with a "greeting" on that, my birthday. I certainly gained the knowledge that he was very angry with me for daring not to crash into the car next to me thereby letting him by. Had I slowed down so I could get back into the right lane sooner...as he was magnetically attached to my bumper...he would like have shot me if he had a weapon. He was in the way of my trying to get out of HIS way.
He has to be proud he got around me at last and expressed his thoughts. Way to be respectful.
Me, I continued on...not angry at all nor bothered. I know what is important and that ain't.
I took these two photos with my phone way early this morning. I will get out there with the Nikon in the morning assuming the builder and home are still there.

According to IMS Health, projections for pharma spending in markets such as India, China and Eastern Europe are set to double by 2016, leading pharma companies to 'beef up their strategy', according to sources.
A consultation with ten pharma companies including Janssen, Shire Pharmaceuticals and Caris Lifesciences by Just::Health has found drugs are now being launched in emerging markets before the traditional markets of US and Europe, where growth and ?innovation may be slower.
Just::Health director Julia Kirby said the pharma comms chiefs consulted were considering replacing 'traditional geographic groupings [such as Europe or Latin America] with groupings based on strategic priorities, such as regulatory status or cultural attitudes towards particular therapy areas'.
Esra Erkal-Paler, AstraZeneca head of global media relations, admitted comms around emerging markets was a key issue as 'fundamental drivers of growth remain strong' in these markets.
She said: 'We recognise that the "emerging markets" definition includes a diverse range of countries whose key unifying characteristic is a growing economy, and therefore one size does not fit all –we are conscious of the need to adapt our comms approach to best suit the local environment and business needs.'
As an example, she said there could be more of a focus on corporate reputation in emerging markets.
She said: 'It depends on the local healthcare environment such as whether it was a customer pay market or whether its more of a healthcare system. In some emerging markets such as Mexico where patients are direct consumers because they are paying for their medicine, our corporate reputation is very important because customers are taking decisions about which drugs to buy based on that.'
AstraZeneca dedicated 47 per cent of its global sales and marketing workforce to emerging markets in 2011 as opposed to 16 per cent in 2002, despite planning to cut 7,300 jobs overall over the next three years.

- What is Auto Trading?
Auto trading involves the use of systems and tools to automate trades in such a way that traders do not have to manually press the execution button.
This is a similar concept to that used in Forex trading, where traders are able to code various messages (e.g. on the MT4 Platform), in such a way that even when they are not around, the MT4 system picks trades based on those rules and executes accordingly.
To find out excatly how automative forex robots work, 7binaryoptions.com offers amazing insite into their workings and explain how effective they can be.
In binary options, there is a slight adjustment in the sense that binaries have expiry periods, whereas, forex trading has no expiration unless you insert stop loss/take profit limits, or run out of account money/margin limits.
- Types of Auto Trading
Social/Copy Trading
This type of trading earned its name from the social media features included in the system. Social/Copy trading basically refers to the form of trading where traders come together for the common good helping each other out. It is a platform developed to allow traders to copy others' trades for given period.
This activity can involve copying multiple trades at a time from amongst different traders or simply copying the trades of a single expert trader. Most forex platforms already have this feature including Ayondo Social trading platform, eToro platform and Tradeo, among others.
As for binary options, good examples come in the form of BestoCopy, ZuluTrade, and AnyOption's CopyOp social trading platform.
Binary Options Robots
These are pretty common these days as many developers and expert traders join hands to come up with trading robots to sell to the masses that salivate to join the binary options market, but lack the skills and experience to succeed.
The best example in this case is Binary-Option-Robot.com and BinaryOptionRobot.com.
Binary Options Auto Signals
This is pretty similar to Binary Options Robots, but in this case, the system is designed in such a way that traders receive the signals first, after which, they can choose whether or not to execute.
These signals are auto-generated based on a number of technical indicators. In most cases, traders also have the opportunity to activate the auto-trading button. The ideal example in this case includes Binaryhedgefund.com, SignalPush.com and Algo-Bit.com, among others.

Q&A with Carolyn Custis James
July 11, 2015 @ 2:00 AM
by nrweastman
When I first sensed a call to write the book that later became Women, Leadership, and the Bible, people — and I mean an extraordinary number of people — suggested that I needed to contact a woman named Carolyn Custis James. I'd not yet heard of her and she'd only published one book by that time: When Life and Beliefs Collide. I found her, got involved with something she'd launched called Synergy Women's Network, read When Life…, and have been blessed and stretched by her thoughtful approach to faith and thinking theologically ever since. Also since, she has published prolifically […]

The main problem aren't missing testers [1] - we already have relatively experienced people testing kernels and/or reporting bugs, and we slowly scare them away due to the many bug reports without any reaction.

Fashion reflects the world around us. In a time of challenge, fear and disillusion, it is the creative person's role to try to deliver a message of love and hope.
For the past several seasons, Milan Vukmirovic has been exploring the urgency of love and the importance of fraternity, unity and solidarity.
Inspired by Jean Michel Basquiat's work and personal style, African cool-setters and the hip-hop scene in New York in the early Eighties, Milan Vukmirovic presents an upbeat collection with a very positive message.
Brimming with color and meaning, this collection is a window that opens to the world and defends the richness of difference.
This season, Ports 1961 draws in equal measures on street culture, contemporary dress and local artisans.
Embroidery and prints point to far horizons.
This collection is, in its own way, a message of solidarity for the Black Lives Matter movement that began in the street and on social media in 2012.
The fight against violence and for justice for black people resonates today in an even wider, bigger way.
Now, more than ever, EVERY LIFE MATTERS. EVERY COLOR MATTERS

NNU is a platform that allows people to make money online while doing what they love. In this blog post I will be reviewing NNU Income Program. I will be discussing with you the good and bad, and how NNU Income Registration is done.
NNU has been in existence for the past 2 years. This program is aimed to help students, youth, middle class and whoever sees it as a good opportunity to boost his or her financial status. This program allows you to make money Passive or Active. As a worker in your office you can make up to N50,000 a month by just reading news and sharing the post to facebook.
Like as i promise to tell you the good and bad of NNU Income Program. All I will be discussing here is from experience.
I have been a member of this community for quiet period of time. After the good and bad experience I have decide to share it with my readers. It has become the talk of the town – that NNU income platform is a scam, while some said is not. Don't worry I will clear your doubt and tell you what NNU. NG is all about.
NNU Income Registration
Basic Reasons you should join NNU Income program
1. Earning payment is on monthly basis
2. It gives you opportunity to earn while sleeping
3. You earn daily by logging into your account
4. The income program doesn't stress you
5. So far they have been reliable
NOTE: NNU income platform is not like PONZI scheme like MMM, Twinkers and co. You don't actually need a referral to make money. I will be breaking down the money making method in this platform.
How Can I Earn From NNU Income Program
There are two ways that you can make money online using NNU Income Platfrom but first it is important to do NNU Income Registration.
The following are two ways you can make money from NNU Income Program, they are:
· NARS: NNU Ad Revenue Sharing
· NAP – NNU Affiliate Program
BreakDown of NNU.NG Earning Method
NARS: Nars is the ad Revenue Sharing, this platform allows NNU registered members to partake in the company monthly earning.
What do I mean??
At the end of the month some amount of money realized from advertisement will be paid out to members. But there are some rules one has to obey or follow as a registered member to enjoy this platform. Here are there
NNU Income Registration, How to make money From NARS
DAILY LOGIN- Here as a registered member of the program you receive daily bonus. So you are required to login into your account daily to earn N50.
SHARING SPONSORED: NNU income platform always provide sponsored post on daily basis. You are required to share this sponsored post to facebook daily. You earn N100 by doing this.
NOTE: At the end of the month the company always verify if you are actually sharing the post to facebook. I advise you to choose one facebook account, because at the end of the month when you are requesting for payout, you will be asked to submit your facebook profile link.
COMMENTING: Since the company upgraded their earning system for better of their members. Comment earning has increased from N1 to N2, but this is calculated as per each relevant comment you make on a post.
With the above mention means, you can earn N10,500 from NNU income program. Now the company credits your account with N350 daily. All that is left for you is to complete your job for the day.
Why N350?
N50 - for daily Login
N100 - for Sharing Of Sponsored Post
N200 - To Make 100 comment each day.
I hope you are no longer asking why N350. So each day you own them of 100 comments.
Let's do a little calculation N350 x 30days = N10,500
Wowoo you see, how one can make actually make thousands of naira on NNU monthly. I advice you not to waste time but join this platform by doing NNU Income Registration.
Second Earning Method NAP – NNU Affiliate Program
This Method is actually where the money lies. Here your earning is not limited, with this platform you can earn N100,000 per month.
How does it work?
Very simple, you turn to affiliate marketer. Here you get people to register using your referral link. As they make their onetime payment of N1,600 you earn 62.5%.
Let do little calculation 62.5% of N1, 600 = N1, 000
Imagine when you get 10 persons to register under you daily (yes is possible, my next blog post will be how to get unlimited referral on NNU income Platform), let's see your earning –
10 persons referral, you make 62.5% each person which is N1, 000
Earning= 10 x 1,000 = N10, 000
Awesome amount, now you why i said earning is unlimited with this method unlike NARS. NAP also helps you to get paid fast.
NNU Income Registration - How NNU Company Makes Their Money
I know many people will be asking how NNU makes their money. So, I have decide to share with you have NNU makes their money.
There are three ways NNU income platform makes their money
Through Google Advert: The company website (NNU website) makes money by displaying Google advert on their blog. Google advert is a program that allows bloggers to monetize their blog or website. Here advert is been displayed on their blog and they get paid.
Sponsored Post (Paid Advert): This is another way that bloggers make huge money. A company or person can paid you to get his or her brand displayed on your blog. NNU NG uses this method.
This last method is available for bloggers. As a blogger I can pay them to get a Dofollow link from their blog.
NNU Income Registration: How to Register
For you to register for NNU income program you have to payment of N1, 600. This payment is done once and it makes you a full member of the community.
To avoid been scammed because they are many site that looks exactly like NNU income platform website. I have provided a link that will redirect you to NNU website.
When you are redirected to the website you will be required to fill in your details and follow the process to make payment.
I recommend online payment via voguepay or alternative to use Direct bank transfer but from experience I recommend payment via voguepay for fast account approval.
After Payment What Next??
Now if you have finished making payment. Forward your payment details, email (the one you used for registration), and account username to NNU income support email. Wait for account approval. After 24 hrs you will receive email telling you that your account has been approved.
Now, proceed to their website. login into your account… and start earning.
During NNU Income Registration please use unique username, easy to remember password.
Never you share your password or account username with anyone to avoid your account been hacked. Even if the person claim to be NNU staff. Please don't, and the company is not responsible for account been hacked.
The Bad of NNU Income Platform
From the beginning I have been telling you the good of NNU income program. Let's talk about the bad.
One bad I have seen about NNU and of which their members complain about – is that sometimes the company website (NNU website) will be down or slow to load.
This happens when the management is upgrading their features to provide their users better platform. Although they always apologies and compensate their members for that.
I know that i have done justice to NNU Income Registration, so what are you waiting for? CLICK HERE TO REGISTER. Please use the social media buttons below to share, it is welcomed.
Up next is how to get Unlimited referral on NNU income Platfrom.. stay tuned, I will be sharing it with you guys.

During the recent Yachts Miami Beach show, Italian shipyard Baglietto unveiled a new explorer line of superyachts, to join their existing Fast and Open model lines.
The new 48m Explorer is to present exceptional sea keeping capabilities, and has been designed for long-range cruises and long periods at anchor. The firm commented that construction on the project would commence soon.
On-board comfort is ensured with large and expansive deck spaces, created by yacht designer Francesco Paszkowski's self-titled design studio, and an open sundeck area allows for sunbathing and relaxing. The free space also allows for the storage of larger-sized tenders and landing craft, whilst the transom hosts a beach area with a bar, gym, Turkish bath, and sauna.
Baglietto's announcement also included the unveiling of a new 44m Open superyacht, which features great liveability in both the indoor and outdoor areas, whilst preserving the yacht's aggressive look and sporty performance.
For more information, visit Baglietto.

By Dr. Becker
If your feline companion is getting up in years, chances are arthritis is making her joints a little creaky and stiff, and possibly painful. Now, you may be thinking, "Not my old gal, she seems perfectly fine."
But the problem is that kitties are very skilled at masking discomfort and illness. In the wild, predators are much more likely to target weak or injured animals, so cats are programmed by nature to avoid appearing frail or unhealthy.
In addition, kitties are very light on their feet and nimble, and typically don't exhibit the usual signs of joint discomfort. Instead, they tend to display behavioral changes, for example, depression, lack of interest in grooming, loss of appetite, weight loss, or eliminating outside the litterbox.
Arthritis, also called osteoarthritis (OA) and degenerative joint disease (DJD), describes a condition in which there is inflammation of the synovium, a thin layer of tissue that lines the joints and tendon sheaths. Cells within the synovium secrete fluids that lubricate the joints.
Arthritis is characterized by progressive, long-term, permanent deterioration of the cartilage surrounding the joints. Unfortunately, the condition is being diagnosed in a growing number of kitties these days due to an epidemic of overweight, obese, and under-exercised cats.
Some estimates suggest that about a third of adult cats have arthritis by age 6, and up to 90 percent of kitties over the age of 12 have some degree of arthritis. The condition most often occurs in the elbow and hip joints.
Since we've established that your feline companion is masterful at hiding pain, what you want to look for instead of obvious limping, for example, or difficulty standing up from a lying position, are behavioral changes. Some of these might include:
✓ Reluctance to jump up on things, or difficulty gaining the height needed
✓ Decreased interest in other family members, both people and pets
✓ Eliminating outside the litterbox, especially if the box has high sides, or is upstairs, or is located in a hard-to-reach spot
✓ Becoming less active, sleeping more
✓ No longer covering urine or feces with litter
✓ Lack of appetite
If you notice one or more of these signs in your cat, it's time to make an appointment with your veterinarian. The sooner you find out the underlying cause of your cat's behavior change, the sooner you can get her on the road to feeling better.
A critically important factor in preventing or alleviating arthritis symptoms in your cat includes keeping her at a lean, healthy weight. A too-heavy kitty with arthritis can have noticeable improvement in her symptoms after losing just a small amount of body weight.
Maintaining your cat's muscle tone as she grows older can be challenging due to age-related muscle wasting (atrophy). And while some "shrinking" is to be expected, many people assume their aging kitty needs less exercise, which is incorrect.
To offset how quickly atrophy occurs in your cat, she actually needs to move her body more as she gets older. Although the intensity, duration and type of exercise will change, daily activity is still crucial to prevent profound musculoskeletal weakness with age.
Muscles maintain your pet's frame, so preserving muscle tone will also slow the amount of joint laxity (which causes arthritis) as well. Your aging cat needs daily movement to slow atrophy and maintain muscle tone.
Because many cats' only form of exercise is walking to and from the food bowl, carrying your cat's bowl around the house at meal times (prompting her to follow you) and allowing her a bite of food each lap around the house provides an excellent way to "move and eat," which helps maintain joint range of motion and flexibility.
Other crucial factors in maintaining the health of an arthritic cat include feeding a balanced, species-appropriate diet; avoiding unnecessary re-vaccinations (titer instead); and providing her with plenty of opportunities to be physically active throughout her life (interactive play sessions are excellent).
I recommend partnering with a holistic or integrative veterinarian who uses a multimodal approach to treat feline patients with arthritis.
There are many wonderful natural treatments and remedies for this condition that can reduce or eliminate the need for painkillers, many of which are highly toxic to cats. Some of the therapies I've used successfully with arthritic cat patients include:
Chondroprotective agents (CPAs) that protect the joints, including the ones listed above, are essential for cats with arthritis. CPAs slow the rate of cartilage degeneration, which is critical. The form, dose, and type of CPA your veterinarian prescribes should be based on a careful assessment of your kitty's individual needs.
For example, many cats with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) also have arthritis. They can't take oral supplements without GI consequences. So for these patients, I might use an injectable joint-support product to bypass the gut, such as acetyl-d-glucosamine or polysulfated glycosaminoglycans (Adequan).
Another example: some of my patients are allergic to certain types of animal protein, typically fish, beef or pork. Using chondroitin or glucosamine from these protein sources can aggravate the allergic response, so for these pets, I would probably choose a supplement like methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) or eggshell membrane. I might also consider using cetyl myristoleate (CMO).
It's important to monitor your cat's symptoms on an ongoing basis, because arthritis progresses over time. Your cat's body is constantly changing, and her treatment protocol will need to evolve as well.
You should bring your kitty for a wellness checkup with your veterinarian at least twice a year to review the status of her health, but also to check the range of motion in her joints, the muscle mass she is either gaining or losing, and to make adjustments to her protocol as necessary to ensure her quality of life is optimal.
I have always found that a multimodal approach to managing osteoarthritis is critical for slowing its progression. Incorporating maintenance chiropractic, massage, acupuncture, daily stretching, and mild exercise along with an oral protocol to manage pain and inflammation will yield the very best results for an arthritic kitty.

Mars is called the "red planet" because of the iron-oxide dust that gives it the red colour. The fourth planet from the sun is a cold world, as you might expect, with the only "water" so far discovered in the form of ice at the poles.
Mars is roughly half the size of the Earth. It has a diameter of 4,222 miles, compared to Earth's 7,962 miles at the equator. Mars is 53% as large as Earth; this means that Mars has a gravity that is less than 40% of what people feel on Earth. Mars has an atmosphere, but it is less than one per cent of Earth's and is comprised mostly of carbon dioxide.
Since it is a relatively close neighbour, Mars has been studied extensively. The largest mountain discovered in the solar system so far lies on Mars, the 78,000-foot-tall Olympus Mons. Compare this mountain to the highest on Earth, Mount Everest, and you will see that Olympus Mons is nearly three times as high.
Time Frame
It takes Mars a bit more than 686 earth days to make its orbit around the sun. Mars is approximately 230 million miles from the sun; in comparison the Earth is 93 million miles distant. A Martian day is just a little longer than one on Earth, lasting 24 hours and 39-and-a-half minutes. The tilt of its axis means that Mars also experiences seasons like Earth does, but they are twice as long due to the length of the year on Mars.
Mars has recently been found to have an impact crater on it that is three to four times larger than any found on Earth. It is called an impact crater because it was caused by a meteor or asteroid hitting the ground. Scientists theorise that some four billion years ago, an object perhaps a fraction of the size of our moon collided with the northern hemisphere of Mars. The resulting crater that now exists is equal in size to the combined land area of the continents of Europe, Asia and Australia.
Mars has other features that are much bigger in comparison to Earth's. Consider the Valles Marineris, a huge canyon discovered on Mars. It spans a length of 4,000 kilometres and is 7 kilometres deep. This means that this single canyon is longer than the length of Europe and goes for one-fifth the circumference of the entire planet. Compare this canyon to Earth's Grand Canyon and you will see that it dwarfs it in size. The Grand Canyon is "only" 446 kilometres long and 2 kilometres deep. Another canyon on Mars, Ma'adim Vallis, is larger than the Grand Canyon at 700 kilometres long and 2 kilometres deep.

Last few years, I have been angry at something, mostly it was about trying to do things in the best possible way (or when things won't happen like that). now I am simply tired of explaining to everyone what perfect is!!
Stacy: "I had to do what I thought was right".
House: "It's the only reason anyone does anything".
If I can't really change what people believe is right, what's the point in being angry at. Best, I can accept because then I can use that energy and channel it into building what's right.
I won't change in a day, but need to find a way to get the message right or reset my expectation "forever". Maybe I will get down and do the work instead of being a…

This book include
Charles Lamb's biography and his works.
A Dissertation Upon Roast Pig
is a collection of food-related essays from the early 19th century, with a
humorous bent. They're but a few pages each - a light read to bring a smile to
your face, then on to the next little foodie treat.
Charles Lamb's writing is
playful and amusing. He'll have you chuckling away at his creation myth for the
titular roast pig, then set your mouth watering with an enticing description of
its succulence. It's not quite all-out food porn, but I would quite like some
crackling, even though I'm full right now. Food might be the broad umbrella
under which all his essays find themselves, but there's nothing samey about any
of the offerings, whether it be the hungry chimney sweeps, metaphors of London
fogs as food, or a pun-heavy conceit of the days of the year all coming to a
The only possible criticism
is one that often applies to collections of essays or short stories: that it's
all very well done and a pleasant read, but it's never quite substantial enough
to really get your teeth into. Each piece does everything they set out to do -
they're clever, engaging and evocative - but they're not so roaringly funny
that you'll grab the nearest person and insist they read it, or delve into deep
deep food fantasies. There's a sense of Very good. Next? Wonderful as a light
snack, but lacking slightly as a main meal.
Beyond the format (and that's
not something that you'd want to change anyway), there's nothing to knock in 'A
Dissertation Upon Roast Pig. It speaks to a modern audience as much as it did
to its 19th century audience. Such is the quality of the writing that there's
little to date it; it's as sparkling as it ever was. Timeless humour is
particularly difficult to achieve, and this is greatly to Lamb's credit.
If you're looking for a high
quality yet relaxed read, with humour and food woven together, then A
Dissertation Upon Roast Pig is an excellent choice. You might not head back for
leftovers the next day, but that's by no means the end of the world. Warmly

Information on tsunamis
A tsunami (Japanese for "harbour wave") is series of huge ocean waves caused by a rapid, large-scale disturbance of the sea water. Tsunamis can be caused by submarine volcanic eruptions, submarine landslides, meteor impact, and major earthquakes occuring beneath the seabed causing large vertical movements. In deep water, tsunami waves are less than a metre high, but they can travel at speeds exceeding 800 kilometres per hour and can easily cross an entire ocean basin. When they reach shallow water or narrow inlets the waves slow down and the height can build into a wall of water which causes devastation on the shore.
On January 26, 1700 one of the world's largest earthquakes occurred along the west coast of North America and created a tsunami which completely destroyed the winter village of the Pachena Bay people with no survivors. These events are recorded in the oral traditions of the First Nations people on Vancouver Island. There is evidence of repeated tsunamis inundating our west coast following giant megathrust earthquakes in the Cascadia seismic zone.
In the twentieth century, 27 people were killed on November 18, 1929 in the tsunami that struck the Burin Peninsula of Newfoundland. This tsunami was caused by a large submarine slump along the continental slope triggered by the magnitude 7.2 earthquake that struck approximately 250 km to the south along the edge of the Laurentian Slope.
QUICK TIPS - If you live or find yourself by the ocean
- If the earth starts to shake violently in an earthquake - head for higher ground immediately!
- If the ocean recedes to reveal seafloor usually underwater or rises to an abnormally high level - head for higher ground immediately!
- Do not linger by the shore until you can see it coming - a tsunami moves faster than a person can run.
- The first wave may not be the largest. Successive waves may be spaced minutes to hours apart and continue arriving for many hours.
West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Centre (WCATWC) Message Definitions
Data from selected NRCan seismometers are forwarded to the National (United States) Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Centre (WCATWC) in Palmer, Alaska. This information is integrated with other seismic, tide gauge, and deep ocean buoy system data to produce tsunami information statements, alerts, watches, or warnings for all North American coastlines (including the Atlantic and Arctic). WCATWC distributes these messages to Emergency Measures Organizations (EMO) and other clients 5 to 15 minutes after a potentially tsunamigenic earthquake has occurred and provide updates at regular intervals.
WCATWC product definitions changed to the definitions provided below on February 12, 2008. The products issued by the center are warning, watch, advisory, and information statements. Each has a distinct meaning relating to local emergency response. In summary:
|Inundating wave possible
|Full evacuation suggested
|Danger level not yet known
|Stay alert for more info
|Strong currents likely
|Stay away from the shore
|Minor waves at most
|No action suggested
Tsunami Warning - a tsunami warning is issued when a potential tsunami with significant widespread inundation is imminent or expected. Warnings alert the public that widespread, dangerous coastal flooding accompanied by powerful currents is possible and may continue for several hours after arrival of the initial wave. Warnings also alert emergency management officials to take action for the entire tsunami hazard zone. Appropriate actions to be taken by local officials may include the evacuation of low-lying coastal areas, and the repositioning of ships to deep waters when there is time to safely do so. Warnings may be updated, adjusted geographically, downgraded, or canceled. To provide the earliest possible alert, initial warnings are normally based only on seismic information.
Tsunami Watch - a tsunami watch is issued to alert emergency management officials and the public of an event which may later impact the watch area. The watch area may be upgraded to a warning or advisory - or canceled - based on updated information and analysis. Therefore, emergency management officials and the public should prepare to take action. Watches are normally issued based on seismic information without confirmation that a destructive tsunami is underway.
Tsunami Advisory - a tsunami advisory is issued due to the threat of a potential tsunami which may produce strong currents or waves dangerous to those in or near the water. Coastal regions historically prone to damage due to strong currents induced by tsunamis are at the greatest risk. The threat may continue for several hours after the arrival of the initial wave, but significant widespread inundation is not expected for areas under an advisory. Appropriate actions to be taken by local officials may include closing beaches, evacuating harbors and marinas, and the repositioning of ships to deep waters when there is time to safely do so. Advisories are normally updated to continue the advisory, expand/contract affected areas, upgrade to a warning, or cancel the advisory.
Tsunami Information Statement - a tsunami information statement is issued to inform emergency management officials and the public that an earthquake has occurred, or that a tsunami warning, watch or advisory has been issued for another section of the ocean. In most cases, information statements are issued to indicate there is no threat of a destructive tsunami and to prevent unnecessary evacuations as the earthquake may have been felt in coastal areas. An information statement may, in appropriate situations, caution about the possibility of destructive local tsunamis. Information statements may be re-issued with additional information, though normally these messages are not updated. However, a watch, advisory or warning may be issued for the area, if necessary, after analysis and/or updated information becomes available.

Persephone book no:
Mollie Panter-Downes
* Required Fields
PREFACE BY GREGORY LESTAGE240pp ISBN 9781906462017
For fifty years Mollie Panter-Downes's name was associated with The New Yorker, for which she wrote a regular 'Letter from London', book reviews and over thirty short stories; of the twenty-one in Good Evening, Mrs Craven, written between 1939 and 1944, only two had ever been reprinted – these very English stories have, until now, been unavailable to English readers.
Exploring most aspects of English domestic life during the war, they are about separation, sewing parties, fear, evacuees sent to the country, obsession with food, the social revolutions of wartime. In the Daily Mail Angela Huth called Good Evening, Mrs Craven 'my especial find' and Ruth Gorb in the Ham & High contrasted the humour of some of the stories with the desolation of others: 'The mistress, unlike the wife, has to worry and mourn in secret for her man; a middle-aged spinster finds herself alone again when the camaraderie of the air-raids is over…
To read more about Good Evening, Mrs Craven go to the Persephone Forum.'
Also available as a Persephone Grey Original, a Persephone Audiobook and a Persephone eBook.
'Coupons', 1941, shows women's clothes against a repeat of '66′, the number of clothes coupons allowed a year during the war, with the number needed per item.

If you have a business website and are looking for the best technique to raise its search ranking, you have to pay attention to search engine optimisation (SEO). Without applying efficient SEO tips and tricks, you cannot expect your website to show up on the top rank of search engines. Search engine optimisation intends to make a website highly visible on the search engines. There are different SEO tactics and it is worth mentioning that without quality content, no SEO strategy will be successful. Having said that, let's make you familiar with the significant SEO principles. After that we will shift focus to some vital SEO metrics you need to check for ensuring remarkable performance of your website.
Top SEO Principles
- Search engine optimisation is nothing without quality content. Unique, flawless and informative content does not qualify to be called quality content unless and until it is engaging. At first, you need to produce high quality content and then, make best possible efforts to popularise it. Once you upload an article, you can share its link on Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus. The number of likes and re-tweets and positive reviews for your article will be tracked by Google and the search engine giant will appreciate your content to be good quality.
- Make sure that the title of your articles includes relevant keywords. This helps to increase the search rankings.
- You must be firm to say good bye to reciprocal links. They have lost value in search engine optimisation in course of time.
Therefore, this is all about the SEO principles that are of prime importance. Now, let's discuss about some key SEO metrics that every website owner must check with constancy.
Top SEO Metrics
There are several SEO metrics and the five most important among them are as follows.
- Traffic sources (provides information about the consumers visiting a website and the source from where they are finding the link of the website)
- Impressions report (offers information about the number of times a particular URL from a website comes into view in organic search results and also, about the queries for which the URL appears)
- Bounce rates report (lets you know about the span of time a visitor stays on your website)
- Conversion goals report (consists information about the number of customers converting to buyers and the factors influencing them to convert and how they are converting to buyers)
- Blog post views (gives information about the performance of blog content)
By checking all these SEO metrics, you can get an idea regarding where and how to channelize your efforts and resources in order to boost the search ranking of your website. For instance, traffic sources help to identify the source of your highest website traffic and impressions report lets you be aware of the search terms mostly used by your potential customers. On the other hand, bounce rate report discloses whether your website has the potential to hold the attention of a reader for a longer time-span and conversion goals report makes you familiar with the people who have converted to buyers. Blog post views divulge the fact whether the blog posts are being appreciated or being blasted.
In short, these metrics open up scope of improvements for your website.
So, now you know about the important SEO principles and SEO metrics. Apply this knowledge to boost the search ranking of your website. In case you are not feeling confident about doing this job on your own, you can consult an experienced SEO professional to carry out the task efficiently.

The Oil Ministry is considering granting permission to drill exploration wells within an oil and gas field but with the condition that cost recovery of such wells would be allowed only in case there is a commercially exploitable discovery.
Reliance Industries and Cairn India want to drill exploration wells in already producing oil and gas fields, but the ministry's technical arm DGH had previously opined that such activity in an area that is producing hydrocarbons is not permissible under Production Sharing Contract (PSC).
DGH felt the government's profit share, which is triggered when an explorer recovers all his cost, would be adversely impacted if new costs are added.
To get around this, the ministry is now formulating a policy to allow cost recovery of an exploration well drilling in a producing field, only in circumstances where it leads to a commercially exploitable find, official sources said.
This would be a significant departure from the signed contracts that allow companies to first recover all their costs before sharing profits with the government.
While RIL has proposed to drill an exploration well on the flagging D1&D3 gas fields in the KG-D6 block to study reservoir characteristic, Cairn wants to drill new probes to help raise output from the Rajasthan block to 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) from 175,000 bpd.
Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) had sometime back taken a view that exploration is not permitted within an area that has been delineated after discoveries for production of hydrocarbons.
As a way out, the ministry wants to frame a new policy for allowing exploration in a development area and will put it up to the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) for approval, they said.
Globally, exploration is permitted in fields that are under production so as to keep adding new reserves to replenish ones that have been produced. In absence of rejuvenation, the fields will terminally decline from the day output starts.

This was my daughters first experience with the CDC and it brought about a deep love for dance. Her instructors were professional yet fun, teaching the class in an age-appropriate manner. I can not get over how much was packed into a half-hour class, as well as the variety that she was exposed to. Not a minute was wasted and the students always had a wonderful time. I would not hesitate to enrol my daughter in next year's program. We are moving out of the community, yet I'm still considering driving her in so that she can benefit from the program for another year. Thank you, CDC, for building the foundation of my daughter's love for dance!
-Parent T.G.
This is the first time that my daughter participated in your program and when I enrolled her in the program. I had no idea what was involved. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised at the magnitude of the program. So professional. The instructor was amazing and my daughter looked forward to attending classes on a weekly basis, we just wished it was longer. I will be returning with my daughter next year to enroll her in not only one program but two programs. The confidence and joy that it brought to her is priceless and put a smile in my heart. Thank You.
-Parent V.C.
The Canterbury Dance Centre is a wonderful place for my daughter to live out her dreams of being a dancer. She has danced her way through ballet, jazz and tap classes with joy, reinforced by positive and supportive instruction, beautifully skilled dance teachers, in the community of friends who are classmates and neighbors. The choreography every year is fresh and challenging. The Centre has strong, caring leaders who clearly love dance and their dancers. The year-end recital is a highlight for our family and offers us a professional quality performance with full costuming, lighting and a fantastic stage. The Canterbury Dance Centre gets stronger and more vibrant every year!
-Parent D.G.
Jenny is an excellent teacher. The kids are motivated and her choreography allows them to be challenged and confident at the same time. Well done!
-Parent R.M.
My daughter is thrilled with her dance classes and all of her instructors. Yesterday and today we walked home from dance classes and she was bouncing off the sidewalk, chatting non-stop about everything that happened in class, all about the routines, comments about her teaches and on and on….She truly is in her element and getting an incredible experience at Canterbury Dance! Everyone is so helpful, positive and fun. Thanks for everything.
-Parent J.W.

A2Z Analysiz: WWE SummerSlam 2011 (John Cena, CM Punk)
For an easy to navigate archive of all my WWE DVD reviews, please visit World Wrestling Reviews!
Staples Center – Los Angeles, California – Sunday, August 14, 2011
Michael Cole, Hall of Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler, and Booker T are on commentary.
MATCH #1: Six Man Tag Team Match – Rey Mysterio, John Morrison & Kofi Kingston vs. Alberto Del Rio, The Miz & R-Truth
I miss heel R-Truth so much. Kingston and Miz start the match and Kingston takes advantage by flying all over the place. Morrison tags in and the advantage continues for the babyface trio. Miz catches Morrison with a kick to the face and tags Truth, which just fires Morrison up. Momentum shifts back and forth as both sides try to set the pace. Morrison gets beat up for a bit and then makes the hot tag to Kingston, who flies all over the place. Kingston hits Miz with the Boom Drop and signals for Trouble in Paradise but Miz ducks it, so Kingston hits the SOS instead. Del Rio breaks up the cover and then kicks Mysterio off the apron for fun. Kingston gets rid of Del Rio, and bodies are just flying all over the place. Miz catches Kingston in a Snap Mare Driver for a two-count. The heel team isolates Kingston and keeps him away from his partners. After a few minutes Mysterio gets the hot tag and he starts flying. Mysterio kicks Truth right in the head for a two-count. He gets Truth in position for the 619, and then puts Miz there as well. Del Rio stops the move from happening, so Morrison takes him out with a dive. Miz is able to hit Truth with the 619 but Miz avoids it. Kingston takes Miz out with a dive to the floor, while Mysterio hits Truth with a splash from the top rope to get the pin at 9:40. What a terrific opener, with a high flying babyface team teaking on a team of hated heels and everyone just busting ass as much as they could. Mysterio is set for a title shot tomorrow night on RAW so it makes sense for him to get the pin here. This got the crowd right fired up, so kudos to all involved here.
Rating: ***½
MATCH #2: Sheamus vs. Mark Henry
They trade control back and forth in the early going, doing their best to out slug each other. Henry dumps Sheamus to the floor, and then goes out and press slams him back in. The World's Strongest Man keeps Sheamus down, flattening him with a splash for a two-count. Every time Sheamus tries to fight back Henry uses his incredible strength to cut him off. Henry goes for a Vader Bomb and Sheamus avoids it, giving the Irishman a small window of opportunity. Sheamus is finally able to put some offense together, and he clubs away at his much larger opponent. He charges at Henry and they bonk heads. Both men are down. Back on their feet Sheamus catches Henry with boots to the face. Sheamus goes up top and hits a shoulderblock for a two-count. He goes for the Brogue Kick but Henry avoids it and takes Sheamus off his feet. Henry goes for the World's Strongest Slam but Sheamus slips out and hits the Brogue Kick! The force sends Henry all the way to the floor. Sheamus goes out and tries to retrieve his massive opponent, but it backfires when Henry picks him up and rams him into the ring post. Henry then rams Sheamus through the ringside barricade! Henry makes it back to the ring and gets the win via countout at 9:22. Countout wins usually are lame, but at least in this case Henry beat his opponent up so bad that he got counted out, and it was less cheap that way. I probably would have had Henry go over clean, but this was not a horrible way to go. Good power match too, as Sheamus is underrated and Henry was on fire at this time.
Rating: ***
MATCH #3: WWE Divas Championship Match – Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix
Kelly has been the Champion since 6.20.11, and this is her second defense. She has Eve Torres with her, while Phoenix has Natalya in her corner. The challenger tries to use her power game but Kelly successfully thwarts her with her speed and agility. When no one was noticing Kelly became a pretty decent worker. Kelly knocks Phoenix to the floor and wipes her out with a cross body block from the second rope. Back in the ring Phoenix catches Kelly with a hard clothesline and then press slams her onto the top rope for two. Phoenix controls now, dominating the Divas Champion with strength and power. This continues on as Phoenix cuts off all of Kelly's comeback attempts. Phoenix goes for the Glam Slam but Kelly counters with a victory roll to get the shocking upset pin at 6:48! That was shockingly good, with Kelly playing the plucky underdog perfectly. I almost can't believe what I just typed, but that match actually could have been longer.
Rating: **¾
MATCH #4: Daniel Bryan vs. Wade Barrett
Bryan won Money in the Bank and Barrett did not so they're fighting about it. They wrestle back and forth in the early going, both men trying to establish the pace and tone of the match. Bryan takes control and hits an IED, uses the surfboard to stomp on Barrett's calves, and then delivers a hard kick to the chest for a two-count. Barrett comes back with The Winds of Change for a two-count. He keeps Bryan grounded, wearing him down with strikes and submission holds. Bryan comes back with a dropkick that knocks Barrett off the apron and to the floor. He follows with a flying knee to the face from the apron. Back in the ring Bryan hits a missile dropkick for a near-fall. Bryan unloads with more kicks and Barrett is again able to kick out. Barrett avoids a charge in the corner and hits a boot to the face to earn some reprieve. He goes for Wasteland but Bryan turns it into the End Time. Bryan turns that into the LeBell Lock and Barrett is able to reach the ropes. They battle on the top rope and Barrett hits a Nigel McGuinness-like clothesline. Barrett follows up with Wasteland to get the clean pin at 11:47. That was a good back and forth display from two men who came up together on NXT and got a spotlight on pay-per-view. Not sure why the Money in the Bank holder always has to lose leading up to cashing in the briefcase, but they seem to love doing that.
Rating: ***¼
MATCH #5: No Holds Barred Match for the World Heavyweight Title – Christian vs. Randy Orton
Christian has been the Champion since 7.17.11, and this is his first defense. Before the match begins, Christian announces that his best friend Edge will be in his corner tonight! That's a nice surprise. Unfortunately for the Champion, Edge tells his best friend that he's being a little bitch and leaves him standing there on his own.
The match begins and both men start slugging at each other. Christian lands a diving elbow from the second rope for one. The match quickly spills to the floor and Orton claims control. Orton goes for an RKO on the announce table but Christian is able to avoid it. Christian grabs his belt and tries to run away through the crowd. Orton catches up with him and forces him back to the arena. Back in the ring Christian avoids a charge in the corner and Orton's shoulder hits the ring post. Christian grabs a kendo stick and uses it to really put Orton on the defensive. Orton fight sback but Christian cuts him off and tries to use the kendo stick again but this time Orton catches him with a dropkick. They trade reversals back and forth and it ends with Orton hitting the Inverted headlock backbreaker for two. Orton sets up for the Punt but Christian avoids it. Christian tries to pull Orton's groin into the ring post but Orton counters and pulls Christian's face into the post. Orton brings out a table and puts it in the ring. Christian sets up another table on the floor but can't do anything about it. Orton pulls Christian up to the apron and brings him in the ring with a superplex right on top of the table! Great spot. Orton props up the damaged table in the corner and tries to throw Christian into it. Christian blocks and hits an inverted DDT. He goes for a Spear but Orton avoids it. Even so Christian is able to toss Orton to the floor. Orton reverses a whip and sends Christian flying into the steel steps. Christian makes a comeback and starts prepping the Spanish Announce Table. He smacks Orton with a monitor and then goes for an RKO, but Orton counters into his own RKO to break the table! Back in the ring Orton goes for another RKO but Christian counters to the Killswitch for a near-fall! That was close. Christian goes to the floor and brings in two steel chairs. He sets up a Con-Chair-Toe, first taking time to spit in Orton's face. Orton avoids the chair shot and makes Christian pay for the spit with multiple chair shots, one knocking Christian off the apron and through the table! The Viper throws more weapons into the ring, including the steel steps. Orton tries to squash Christian's head on the steps but the Champ avoids that. Christian charges and Orton catches him in a powerslam through the other table! Orton hits Christian with a kendo stick, and then hits the Rope-hunt DDT right on a trash can! Christian surprises Orton with a kendo stick shot, and he tries to spring off the second rope but Orton catches him in an RKO right on the steel steps! That's enough to get the pin and regain the title at 23:48! That was an absolute war, and it's mind blowing that after this feud WWE didn't see enough in Christian to keep himin a prominent role. These two had great chemistry and beat the crap out of each other for over 20 minutes, creatively using weapons and signature moves. It is rare that two opponents never have a bad match, but that is the case with Orton and Christian. This was probably their best, as it felt the biggest and definitely had an air of finality to it.
Rating: ****½
MATCH #6: WWE Championship Match – CM Punk vs. John Cena
Punk has been the Champion since 7.17.11, and this is his first defense. Cena has been the Champion since 7.25.11, and this is also his first defense. This match will decide who is the Undisputed Champion. Triple H is the special guest referee. They start with some back and forth chain wrestling, as the crowd disagrees on who to support. Just guess how that breaks down demographically. Momentum shifts several times in the opening minutes. Punk takes the first sustained advantage and scores several near-falls on Cena but is not able to put him away. Cena fights back with Moves of Doom, but Punk cuts him off with a knee to the face. Punk tries the bulldog but Cena counters to the Protoplex. Great sequence. Another great series of reversals ends with Punk putting on a Koji Clutch (I don't think I've seen him use that before), which Cena counters to the STF. Punk counters that to the Anaconda Vise, and Cena re-counters to the STF! They're too close to the ropes though and Punk reaches them to break the hold. That was a great few minutes of reversals there. Cena charges and Punk backdrops him to the floor. Punk follows with a suicide dive to wipe Cena out. HHH was counting both men out and almost gets to 10, but he decides to go out to the floor himself and bring both men back in the ring. Love it. Michael Cole says the trust thing he's ever said with "There's not one person in the world who wanted to see this match end on a double-countout." Both Punk and Cena get back to their feet and exchange blows. Cena hits a dropkick of all things, and follows with the Five-Knuckle Shuffle. Another series of reversals ends with Punk kicking Cena right in the head for two. Cena fires up and hits a powerslam for a two-count. He goes up top and Punk knocks him down with the running knee. Punk comes off the second rope with the bulldog for two. He goes up top and tries a clothesline but Punk sidesteps it and puts on the STF! Once again Punk reaches the ropes. Cena finally hits the Attitude Adjustment but Punk kicks out! A frustrated Cena glares at HHH, and then goes up top for the Cena Slice. Punk avoids it and hits the Go To Sleep, but Cena kicks out at two! Now Punk is the one who is frustrated. Punk goes up top and hits Hail to the King but it only gets a near-fall! Cena takes advantage of Punk arguing with HHH and rolls him up for a two-count. Both men get up and trade strikes, and Punk hits another Go To Sleep. Cena gets his foot on the bottom rope but HHH counts to three anyway and Punk wins at 24:14! That didn't quite have the stroryline strength or the raw emotion that the Money in the Bank match had, but this was still pretty great. They showed how well they knew each other with great counters and reversals throughout the match, and used everything they could to try and put the other Champion away. This felt big and the crowd was with them the whole way. I don't see why Cena had to get his foot on the bottom rope; it would have been better for Punk to just go over super clean, but that's just how it goes. Still, great match.
Rating: **** ½
Triple H offers to shake Punk's hand and Punk refuses. Instead HHH raises Punk's hand and applauds him before heading to the back. Then, while Punk is celebrating, Kevin Nash comes in from out of nowhere and flattens Punk with a Jackknife Powerbomb! HHH looks shocked, and then Alberto Del Rio comes out with his Money in the Bank briefcase and a referee in tow!
MATCH #7: WWE Championship Match – CM Punk vs. Alberto Del Rio
Punk has been the Champion since 7.17.11, and this is his second defense. Punk gets to his knees and Del Rio drills him with an enziguiri to score the pin at 0:13. That's probably the first time since Owen versus Shawn that an enziguiri ended a match.
