AN ADDRESS By MAJOR L, A. CODD
Thursday, April 4, 1935
MR. DANA PORTER: Today, Gentlemen, we are considering a subject which has been very much before the public of this country and the United States in recent years.
The late President of the United States, Mr. Calvin Coolidge once attended a sermon-and perhaps he attended a sermon more than once. On one occasion, having attended a sermon he came home and his wife asked what the sermon was about. Mr. Coolidge being a man of few words, eventually said, "Sin". His wife being very curious when this subject was mentioned wanted to know what the minister had said about sin, and finally, with great reluctance, Mr. Coolidge said, "He was against it."
We have heard one aspect of the armament problem, that aspect of it that has been presented to the Club has been universally against munitions.
Today, Major Codd of the Army Ordnance Association of Washington proposes to speak on a somewhat different aspect of the problem. He is not connected with any private interest in this industry. The Association is a purely voluntary association, but he believes as other people associated with him do, that there is another side to the question which should be fairly presented to the public. It is therefore, with the great pleasure that I bring Major Codd to this Club, and I may remind you that this Club does not further any particular view on any particular subject. Our attempt is to have as many and as great a variety of views presented as possible. Major Codd.
MAJOR L. A. CODD: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Empire Club of Canada: I need not tell you, I hope, how delighted I am at the opportunity you have given me to address you this afternoon, and I trust that I need not assure you I am grateful for the honour, not only of being here with this distinguished organization, but also for the many courtesies and kindnesses which the officials of your group and particularly Mr. Porter have shown me. I feel that an after luncheon speaker should reciprocate as best he may and the only thing I can do, by way of reciprocation is to get on with my subject.
I am reminded of a story which makes the rounds in the United States army, about a certain Colonel who was far from a good horseman. One day there was a regimental review and of course the Colonel had to be mounted and all of his organization were curious among themselves as to what would happen when the Colonel was astride his mount. When the military band came by the mount began to prance and to canter and the men were so intent on watching the Colonel that one company in particular broke its line quite unheedingly and when the Captain saw his men in that form, he hurriedly came up and gave the command, "Ease off." Whereupon, one of the men in the ranks said, "No, he ain't off, but he soon will be." So, probably the sooner I am off or on, as the case may be, the better.
Now, I want to speak to you very, very frankly about this subject that I am here to discuss this afternoon, 'In my desire to be as frank as I can, I shall have, at the start, to speak a little in the first person. I want to tell you that I am not a spokesman for any individual or any company in the United States or elsewhere, nor was I ever engaged in the manufacture of armaments. I am not an employee of any such company. I am not a stockholder in any such company and I say that to emphasize the fact that my view is not at all the view of a party in interest. I hope it is not necessary for me to tell you that I am not a militarist or a war monger. I share as definitely and heartily and sincerely the views of every sane individual in his detestation of war. I do share the policy of my native country, of a degree of adequate preparedness but there is a sharp distinction between preparedness against war and any effort or inclination to wage it or to foment it.
With those negative explanations, may I add just one or two of a positive nature? As your President has already indicated to you, I am the Executive Secretary of the Army Ordnance Association with headquarters in Washington, and I am Managing Editor of Army Ordnance, its by monthly publication. The organization has been in existence now fifteen years and grew entirely out of our world war experience. I am not here to further the interests of that Association, but I should tell that it is not a group of munitions makers, but rather of engineers and manufacturers of the United States, several thousand of them who, by reason of their experiences during the World War, believe that the cultivation on their part of a knowledge of the design, manufacture and engineering technique of munitions production is one of the most important phases of our national defence. The Association is not organized for profit. It has no commercial interests, no political affiliation, no religious connection. It may be said to be intensely patriotic in so far as it endeavours to hold itself and its members in reserve, should the industrial strength of the United States ever again be required in any phase of a major emergency.
With these explanations out of the way, may I add a few philosophical, if you will, reflections in connection with this general subject, "Munitions and Common Sense." You know there is a great deal of misunderstanding today of that very term, munitions. If you will consult any recognized authority you will find that munitions, as a term is all inclusive. It embraces everything. Let's take the definition given in Webster's Dictionary
It embraces everything used by a defence force in time of war. And it is literally understood to mean that among military men. The munitions of an army means the supplies of that army, with everything that it requires in the completion of its objective. Munitions is so all-embracive, so inclusive a term, that it includes everything from shoes and socks and tooth brushes, which an army uses, to tanks and aeroplanes and guns - everything from army pants to navy beans, and supplies in time of war for an army is oftentimes more acute than man power.
If there is one lesson that was proved to the United States it was that we could mobilize men at a much faster rate than we could begin to supply them with the things they would need for their own protection in battle. Supplies are all important in varying degree.
I am reminded of a story that is told about the tribes in China where a General was captured by one of the factions. Emissaries were sent over to see if they could not arrange his release. So the emissaries thought they would trade a little bit with the captors. The captors were willing to consider the trade and said, "Well, what have you to offer for the General we now have?" They said, "Well, we will give you four Lieutenant-Colonels for him." The Chinaman shook his head, "No, he wouldn't do that." "Well, then, we will give you eight Majors." "No, we won't do that." "We will put those two together and give you a couple of captains." "No, that won't do."
"What can we give you." The captors said, "We can't think of releasing your General for anything less than 24 cans of condensed milk."
"Now, armament is a term and the military armaments I speak of is just one particular part of this whole munitions question and when we hear a great deal of complaint raised these days about munitions makers, the complaints certainly mean the armament makers because if they use the broad term, then they must include everybody who makes anything that an army can use. So, when I speak and use the word munitions, I certainly mean it in the sense of armaments.
May I give just another reflection? It is the great misunderstanding that exists generally today about the effect of modern armaments upon war. If I read history correctly, I can not see how a common sense viewpoint of the question can claim that armaments are a prime cause of war. Rather, it is most convincing from the record of history, to me at least, that armaments are merely an effect. They are not a cause. Wars existed long before modern implements of defence or offence were ever dreamed of. By the same token, we are often told that modern armaments make war more horrible. There may be isolated cases where modern arms have done that but certainly in the long run, he who neglects the lesson of history might make the claim, but the one who takes stock in history could not countenance it for a moment. History records for instance, that Gengis Khan built huge pyramids, captured human skulls and certainly he had not modern armaments; or, again, that during the Crusades, the streets ran ankle deep with blood, and the Crusaders would have been as much surprised at a machine gun as you and I, today, would be to see a modern army with a pick or a spear.
Then, we are told that modern armaments make war far more destructive and yet you' can go back to the days of ancient history and find that the Romans destroyed ancient Carthage and Jerusalem, more completely than did all the might of the German artillery pounding away incessantly for four years, wreck the little town of Verdun.
No, Gentlemen, in my viewpoint, these inanimate things can not be ascribed as the causes of war. They are the effects. War is a matter of will or of intention. These inanimate things of guns and tanks and planes and rifles do not have wills of their own. They do not go about the world seeking whom they may destroy. They are only tools, tools, in the hand of a man and man, as one commentator has observed, is a more unstable compound that T and T.
Now, in giving you the viewpoint that some of us in the United States hold on this question, may I ask you for just a moment to recall the incident which occurred after the United States entered the World War, when General Pershing was assigned the task of leading overseas the complement of the American Army. If you will consult General Pershi's report, you will find he describes one of the first things he had to do upon arrival abroad; it was to arrange for the supply of our artillery which the American forces were to use and the General says in so many words in his report, that he considered himself and the American Army most fortunate in being able to arrange with the French Government for the supply of our artillery for the first two years. Now, why in the world did the Commanding General of the United States Army, in 1917, consider himself fortunate to make such an agreement? We might consider that due to the difficulties of shipping there might have been a loan for three months or six months or so. But why did he make the arrangements to get the artillery for two years and consider himself fortunate in being able to do so? Simply for one reason, he knew, and anyone else familiar with the problem knew, that despite its industrial power, despite its professional engineering ability, the United States did not have the facilities with which to produce that material and it would require safely, at least, a year or a year and a half before American industry could begin to produce the things they needed of that nature.
The situation before the World War was that the United States Army owned and operated six manufacturing arsenals. It owns and operates the same six today. Before the World War there were a few, not more than a half dozen, private companies in the United States, who were actually producing in connection with their commercial production, some types of American ordnance. Today, we have the self-same six.
Now, the problem of producing these complicated things is so great that when the War came to the United States it was necessary for American industry to begin from scratch to build up the technique, the facilities with which to produce the things that the Army needed, and American industry, doing its best, took many a month before the job was even tackled. But tackle it American industry did and by November, 1918, there were five thousand separate contracts with private manufacturing of every phase of industry producing the armaments need ed for our military forces. In addition, there were three thousand more contractors engaged in the production of secondary items, by which I mean, parts of the completed armaments. And, in addition to these there were 17,000 contractors engaged in supplying all types of munitions for the army, a total in all of approximately 25,000 contractors engaged in that huge task.
Of course, that put the nation on a war footing and promptly it returned to the things of peace. So in the United States, today, you still have the six government-owned and operated arsenals under the jurisdiction of the United States Army and a few companies who, encouraged by the United States Government, have kept up the manufacture of certain types, in very limited quantities, so that in the event of an emergency we will at least have that nucleus equipped through knowledge and facilities to begin the production of the things that we might need.
Might I just call your attention to one complication with regard to the actual production of these companies, these private companies and how much of that production goes abroad, You know if you listened to a great many critics of the munitions situation you would think there was a great deal of secrecy about this huge business that is going on under cover. Well, in the United States and I speak only for the situation in that country - I know little or nothing about it elsewhere-in the United States we have been publishing through the Department of Commerce, monthly statistics since the year 1922, showing by country of destination and by quantity the number of articles of a military nature produced by private manufacturers and sold to other countries. Now, it is difficult to find a common denominator, if you are trying to get some sort of a picture as to just how big this business is, but you can find a common denominator of weight and do you know, if you take the statistics for twelve years, from 1922 to the end of 1933, you find that the total shipment of military arms and military powder and explosives, the total shipment from the United States for twelve years, figures out as nine thousand, seven hundred and some odd tons for twelve years. Is that much or little? Well, the nearest comparison I can find is that it is just about the cargo of one modern ocean going freight vessel for the period of twelve years, so that this production which is going on is for the supply of other countries, mostly non-industrial countries. The countries that do not make their own armaments are the non-industrial countries and there are not more than ten industrial countries in the world today, so the other nations, not equipped to produce but which feel they have a certain requirement for armaments, both for their external and internal national defence are compelled to import the implements that they require from some producing country and the exports that have gone out from the United States are certainly, in the great majority of cases, for the legitimate national defence needs of some other country.
Now, there may be gun runners; there may be gun toters. If you are familiar with the prohibition situation in the United States for many long and arduous years, you would know there are bootleggers, but why in the world allow an abuse, if there are abuses, to result in any such thing as a philosophy which cannot distinguish between a legitimate use and an abuse? If there are unethical practices, by some particular individuals, certainly no sane, fair-minded person holds any brief for them, whatever. If there are gun runners, efforts should be made to curb their activities, but to say in one fell swoop that the remedy for this situation, the remedy for clearing out this individual who is supposed to go about the world fomenting war for his own profit is to eradicate the whole industry is certainly for one in the United States to make the same colossal mistake that was made when that philosophy was applied to whether one should or should not drink.
Now, what possible solutions are there for putting into some sort of control this thing that is a part of the national defence? Well, some students of the question say that we should have a nationalized industry, just as the trend seems to be in so many other fields today, to a nationalized industry of one type or another. Well, now, if the nationalized industry of arms making be able, economically to provide for one's national defence needs, certainly there could not be any complaint about it. But expert opinion in the United States regarding our own problem is that the six arsenals that the Army now has for the production of its military supplies and which are able to produce all and more of the limited peace time needs of the Army, those six arsenals in time of major war could not produce more than five per cent of the total military requirements. Now, taking the viewpoint of the realist, and national defence cannot be viewed in any other way, what would be necessary if we nationalize the industry in the United States? My view is we would have to have ample capacity ready to take care of any army required in the event of emergency and if we have only five per cent now, experts estimate that the facilities to produce one hundred per cent of the requirements in government-owned and operated establishments, would cost the taxpayers anywhere from a billion and a half to three billion dollars, simply to erect those facilities.
Now, leave out the great government payroll. Leave out amortization on such an investment as that, but capitalize it only at a very low interest figure and it certainly should be apparent that any such public expenditure would certainly be the most uneconomical way in which such a problem could be handled.
Now, if you were to have a nationalization and the elimination of the private manufacturer - it is all well and good to say that the private manufacturer is ruled out in time of peace, but everyone who studies the problem will grant that in time of war you need the private manufacturer, you need every bit of the industrial power of the country to produce these very things so that we have the very contradictory situation of a producer being forced out of business by law in time of peace, knowing full well that in the event of war, he is going to be urged and demanded to begin production of a thing about which he will then know very little, will have had no engineering experience and certainly will have a most expensive undertaking for himself and his government on his hands.
Now, there has been one suggestion made and it certainly is a logical one, and that is that the production and shipment of arms, particularly to certain areas of the world where trouble might be started through having such equipment, that the control be exerted of the export by all the countries of the world. I do not think any sane individual or any company would object to any such method as that-control by export license and publicity as to the figures of materials exported and countries of destination.
As a matter of fact, the United States Senate, last June, ratified a treaty providing for such form of control. That ratification was provisional upon a similar ratification by the other armed producing countries of the world and my last information was that there were some four or five that had not yet ratified it but I am sure that anyone familiar with the problem in the United States would agree that there is no objection whatsoever to a form of control through export licenses and through that method it might be possible to curb shipments, particularly by unconscionable individuals who, in all events, have no business being in such an enterprise anyway.
Consequently, it does seem to me that there is a great deal of ground for common sense in looking at such a problem as this. I don't think it is at all helpful to take the attitude of the agitator of the cynicalist in attempting to iron out any wrong that may exist in connection with this problem. It goes to the very deepest roots of a country's existence and many a country in the world is going to exert every power and influence within its possession to see that its right to get what it needs for its own defence is not going to be withdrawn from it.
The viewpoint of some of us in the United States is that the private manufacturer, limited in number, limited in quantity, producing as those private manufacturers are, is really a second line of the national defence because we know full well that in the event of a major emergency, industry and the professional engineer will have to attempt to do the job as best he may.
At a profit? Well, we hear a great deal about the profits of munition makers during the World War. And there were profits, just as there were mistakes and delays and waste in every phase of so great an undertaking about which we had very little experience to operate upon. But in all fairness, it is a gross misrepresentation to accuse the armament maker during the World War as having been the profiteer. If you examine the figures you find that inflation brought such great increases in price that there were very few forms of enterprise, of production or of personal service, which did not bring their particular form of high profit. For instance, you seldom hear it mentioned when we talk of war profits, that wheat, that all-important essential item without which an army cannot move - Napoleon said an army travels on its stomach - the price of wheat in June, 1914, in the United States, before the World War, and the price in June, 1916, at the peak of the World War, shows an increase of 138 percent. Yet who ever thinks of accusing the wheat grower of the western plains as sharing in the profits of war? Cotton, without which a modern army could not last scarcely a day, the great essential component item of explosive powder, its price increased in the vicinity of 150 per cent, if my recollection is correct.
The general wholesale commodity index, comparing again the same dates, was about 98 per cent; the retail index, about 92 percent. And, strange as it may seem, one of the great companies which today is being criticized most severely in the United States because of its manufacture of powder, while all this price rise was going on, two of their products, explosive powder made purely from cotton, alcohol and nitric acid, all of which components had climbed tremendously in price, the finished product of one of those great companies shows a decrease in price for one type of powder of eight percent and a decrease in price for another type of twelve percent.
So, that I say when we criticize the arms maker as the profiteer, at least we should be fair enough to grant that this thing of profit in war time is a matter of national policy that must approach every individual, share and share alike, so that there is no inordinate profit made by any individual or any group.
In the United States, that question has been studied thoroughly, long before this present great amount of talk was begun. A War Policy Commission in 1930 recommended that in time of war in the United States all profits have an excess profit tax of 95 percent placed upon it, in addition to a system of price fixing, so that the inequalities of the high cost and the low cost producer might be ironed out through taxation.
Gentlemen, these are the broad outlines, I think, candidly and sincerely, the common sense of the question. I€ there be abuses, let's eradicate them. But I certainly think we are justified, we of the United States, in the policy that we are following which seeks war with no one, which wants to live on terms of justice and fairness with everyone, which has no thought of self-aggrandizement, which has no unjust aims that might result in war, while we hate war, we feel we must be prepared against it and we think we have ample authority in our own experience and in the experience of other nations to warrant that belief. Indeed, we have the great authority, the Bible, quotation, where we read, "When the strong man armed keepeth his court, those things which he possesseth are in peace." (Applause.)

I'm attempting to convert a number of shapefiles into a geodatabase and automate the process using python. The directories that contain the shapefiles that need to be converted are named by county for example "cass". The geodatabases are named after the counties as well but end in the extension .gdb and they end up looking like this "cass.gdb". I've already tried using the os.walk function for both directories and comparing them in order to put the correct files in the correct place but I simply end up with a loop that only compares one county file to one county .gdb without moving to the next item. I was wondering if anyone would know how to correct this problem, or have a more efficient way of doing it. Here is my code as it sits right now.
import arcpy
import os
inFile = "P://County_Map_Book//counties"
outGeoPath = "P://County_Map_Book//mapbookCountiesGeodatabases"
doubSlash = "//"
#This compound loop structure walks

KORN frontman Jonathan Davis has shot down as false Internet speculation that the band is using outside writers for material for its next studio album.
Rumors of KORN collaborating with different writers began swirling when Davis told the KLOS radio show "Whiplash" that KORN guitarists James "Munky" Shaffer and Brian "Head" Welch "have been writing with different people for a while now, getting songs together" for the follow-up to 2016's "The Serenity Of Suffering" LP.
The singer's comments prompted online chatter about whether KORN was seeking outside help in putting songs together for its upcoming album.
But in a new interview conducted last Friday (May 25) at the CD-release event for his debut solo album, "Black Labyrinth", Davis firmly denied that KORN was enlisting other people to come up with songwriting ideas for its 13th disc.
"[Munky and Head] been working with a couple of different producers," Jonathan said (see video below). "I fucking hate the Internet, man. I say, 'Hey, the guys have been working with a couple of people,' and they say, 'Oh, now they're using writers, and they suck.' I fucking hate it! They're working with two producers. We're writing everything. And when I get done with this [solo] tour, I'm gonna go back, I think, in July for a couple of days and start working with them. We're just working on music. It's just how it works. We're still writing our own music. It's all good. No worries, man — no worries."
KORN will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of the group's classic third album, "Follow The Leader", by playing three U.S. concerts at the end of the summer. The shows will take place on September 12 at the Masonic in San Francisco, September 13 at the Palladium in Los Angeles, and September 15 at the Pearl Theater in Las Vegas.
It has yet to be confirmed but it is likely that KORN will perform the album in its entirety at those shows.
"Follow The Leader" was a massive commercial breakthrough for KORN, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart, selling five million copies in the U.S. and yielding two hits singles in "Got The Life" and "Freak On A Leash".
Davis heads to Europe next month in support of his new disc.
KORN plans to embark on a full tour of some kind in 2019, although no further details have been revealed.

Last week, members of the press and a handful of prominent bloggers were invited to a preview of Omega's latest collection over dinner. President of The Swatch Group (South East Asia), David Ponzo shared with us an overview of their newest watches. The highlight of the evening was the Speedmaster "Dark Side Of The Moon" which many of us were eagerly anticipating. The watch case was milled entirely out from a solid piece of ceramic. The watch had a distinctive feel to it, which was very different from previous Speedy Special editions. I personally felt that it was a beautifully executed piece and liked it very much indeed. Omega also released a re-issue of their Seamaster Bullhead from the 1960s. This is another very interesting piece to collect. I would like to thank the Omega team in Singapore for the opportunity to preview these lovely watches.

Supreme Court rejects Gillette murder appeal
December 13, 2018
GILLETTE — A Gillette man's appeal of his murder conviction has failed.
In September 2017, Joseph Nielsen was convicted of abusing and killing his girlfriend's three-year-old son, Caiden Fedora. In January, District Judge Michael N. "Nick" Deegan sentenced Nielsen to life in prison.
Nielsen, 23, appealed the ruling based on what his attorneys believed to be improper testimony by the prosecution's expert witnesses and improper questioning of the defense's expert witness.
They claimed the prosecution used expert witnesses to get around proving Nielsen abused the boy. Instead of...

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri praised "champion" Dani Alves for his impact off the bench against Porto in the Champions League.
Not long after replacing Stephan Lichtsteiner, the Brazilian full-back scored as Juve recorded a 2-0 win at the Estadio do Dragao on Wednesday.
Alves brought down an Alex Sandro cross before doubling Juve's lead, giving them control of the last-16 tie.
Allegri explained his decision to bring on Alves and hailed the former Barcelona defender for his attitude.
"Dani Alves replaced Lichtsteiner, who was booked when we went in front, so I had to play safe in that situation," he said.
#FCPJuve #UCL #FinoAllaFine #ForzaJuve pic.twitter.com/2lEpur6OH6
— JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) February 22, 2017
"Alves is a champion, a guy with a great will and enthusiasm who won a lot.
"Entering in the last 20 minutes in the way he did, shows that he is an example and a very professional player."
Alves, 33, has made 17 appearances in all competitions this season, having left Barca in June.

The admission of 12 students in Honors Program 2013 stand cancelled with immediate effect, said a KU release on Wednesday.
It said the marks sheet of the following candidates were found forged: Gulnaz Bibi d/o Maroof (Islamic Learning), Muhammad Hasnain Raza s/o Muhammad Ali (Persian), Wasy Ali S/o Muhammad Ali (Economics), Muneeb Ahmed s/o Shamim Ahmed (Sociology), Sonia Iqbal s/o M Iqbal (Islamic History), Muhammad Ibrahim Khan s/o Muhammad Aslam Khan (General History), Tooba Muzaffar d/o Muzaffar Uddin Ahmed Reaz (Marine Sciences), Aiman Muzaffar d/o Muzaffar Uddin Ahmed Reaz, (Biochemistry), Rubab Alauddin d/o Muhammad Alauddin, Tooba Yousuf d/o Mohammad Yousuf (Food Science & Technology), Muhammad Sabir s/o Dilbar Khan, (Chemistry), Syeda Iqra Arshad d/o Syed Arshad Iqbal (Applied Chemistry & Chemical Technology).
Malaysian varsity to send scholars to KU
Karachi: The University of Malaysia (UM) will send its faculty members and PhD students to the International Centre for Chemical and Biological Sciences (ICCBS) at the Karachi University (KU) for research training.
The decision was taken in Kuala Lumpur in November 2012 at a meeting held between senior faculty members of both universities.
"UM Vice Chancellor Tan Sri Prof Gauth Jasmon appreciates the world-class quality research at the ICCBS," said ICCBS Director Dr Iqbal Choudhry.
"The UM VC has preferred the ICCBS over USA and European universities for training".
Since the decision was taken, 11 scientists of the UM have obtained research trainings at various laboratories of the ICCBS in the fields of stem cell research, pharmacology and natural products chemistry.
The UM is the only university in the Muslim world to get ranking among the top 100 universities of the world. The news
Over 60,000 students await stipend
Larkana: The Reform Support Unit (RSU) has failed to release scholarship stipend to more than 60,000 girls students enrolled from classes sixth to tenth and eligible to get the amount of money.
Sources in the District Education Office on Thursday confirmed that in Larkana district alone 20,276 eligible girls were still awaiting the stipend which otherwise would have been disbursed by the closing of financial year.
Enrolment lists had been sent to the RSU in November/December 2012 mentioning the girls' strength for fiscal 2011-2012, sources in the Secondary Education Management Information System (SEMIS) said.
Under a World Bank-funded programme aimed at encouraging female education and enhancing the enrolment in schools, each eligible girl student from class sixth to tenth is given stipend scholar of Rs2,500 per year while females enrolled in the remote schools Rs3,500 per year, sources in the education department said.
Sources in the directorate education of Larkana said on Thursday that the department of education had moved a summary in this regard to the finance department of Sindh, but it awaiting an approval.
This correspondent tried to reach the chief programme manager of the RSU and the deputy programme manager to know the present status of the scholarships but in vain.
Previously, the amount was sent in April when new academic year started. But this year, summer vacations are approaching and annual examinations of matric students have been completed, but the stipend is not in sight, the sources in the directorate of education Larkana said on Thursday.
Disbursement of the scholarship stipend is itself a time-consuming exercise because the amount is distributed through the heads of schools and the personnel of post offices concerned.
The post office personnel visit the schools and make payments through bank cheques. In case of late release, the question is how the girls' students who have completed their matric examinations would be located by the department.
In fiscal 2011-2012 when the lists were submitted to the RSU, a total 64,464 girls' students (from class VI to X) were enrolled in the girls schools in Larkana division, the sources in the directorate and SEMIS Sindh confirmed it on Thursday.
According to the break-up, the girls enrolment eligible to get stipend in Larkana district is 22,623, in Jacobabad 10448, in Shikarpur 11,889, in Kashmor 4,895 and in Kambar-Shahdadkot district 14,609. Dawn

This sounds pretty obvious and I still chuckle today when I recall seeing my first boss in the ad business sitting in client presentations drawing circles in the air with his fingers saying you can't have objectives this big (large air circle) and a budget this big (small air circle). So simple and so true but the OBJECTIVES discussion really needs to focus on what can be achieved and what can be measured relative to your advertising program. There are plenty of measurable objectives that ultimately impact brand preference and sales but they require smart planning and a budget to achieve.

Both have yellow and white worlds in the shape of a disc. Several Anthemis species are grown as ornamental, especially golden margaritas or yellow chamomile (A. tinctoria).

Motivation is the force that drives us to perform certain actions in life and to achieve particular goals and dreams. Motivation comes from the need to reduce pain or trauma and maximize pleasure and happiness. This is the reason why you have very uplifting thoughts and feelings within yourself when you feel a sense of motivation.
Motivation is a very powerful tool in life. When you can tap into your personal motivational sources, you can achieve almost anything you put your mind to. Finding motivational sources can help you get work done quicker and be more more productive at home.
People that suffer from a lack of motivation tend to be unorganized and procrastinate on a number of task and objectives. They also are more likely to suffer from depression and be unhappy with their lives as a whole when compared to those with high levels of motivation.
Everyone suffers from lapses in motivation, but there are a number of ways that you can build your motivational skills and confidence in life.
You can start by reading our article on the ABCs of Motivation and find out what you can start doing to become more motivated in your life.
You deserve to be happy and achieve great things, so why not start now?
You can also check out 100 Ways to Motivate Yourself: Change You Life Forever
Motivation Methods
Motivation theories are used to help us understand why certain behaviors motivate us and others do not. You can read below about some of the motivation theories out there today.
Incentive Theory
One is rewarded for performing a certain action with the hopes that that action will continue to occur again. This is similiar to you trying to teach your dog to sit. By performing an action and then having a favorable outcome afterwards, we associate that action with positive feelings. This makes us more likely to perform the action again. You can do this with your diet and fitness by rewarding yourself at the end of the week for sticking with your plans.
Drive-Reduction Theories
Since we are all human, we have certain drives that help us function in life. For example, when you are hungry, you seek out food. Once the drive is satisfied, the strength of that desire is reduced.
Need Theories
Much like the Drive-Reduction Theory, human beings have wants and desires which influence their behavior. Unsatisfied needs influence behavior the most. Therefore, needs are ordered based on importance. In health and fitness, it is important to find a desire or need and mentally be able to tell yourself that it is the priority on your list.
Goal Setting Theory
Of the motivation theories presented, I like goal setting theory. Humans like to achieve things. We like having clearly defined ends. For most, achieving a goal is a reward in itself and can help get the momentum going towards creating and achieving bigger and better goals. A goal is affected by three features: proximity, difficulty, and specificity. Ideal goals should be obtainable and have relatively close start and end times. If a goal is too lofty, you can lose focus and steam and are more likely to fail than succeed.
Goal Setting
Learning to set goals is a great way to be successful in whatever you want to achieve in life whether it be financial, fitness, diet, or what have you.
A study of Yale graduates found that only about 3% of students had planned out goals for their future. 20 years later, they found that those 3% of individuals had more wealth than all the other 97% of students COMBINED! Can you see how important goal setting and motivations are?
I like creating weekly goals. Sitting down at the beginning of the week (usually Sunday) I will plan out all of my goals for the week. I know on Thursdays and Fridays I have very concrete goals for my websites, which is to create new content for readers like you.
Having a schedule holds you accountable for your actions. Put the most important tasks at the top of your list for each day. You should have one ultimate goal to complete each day. You should not go to bed unless that goal is accomplished.
Take your goals seriously and make sure to reward yourself at the end of the week for accomplishing them all. This will help keep you motivated to continue working on whatever it is that you need to complete.
Goal setting and finding motivation are not easy, but they work together. By setting goals and accomplishing them, you motivate yourself to complete even bigger and better goals.
Fitness Motivation
Finding your fitness motivation is a vital part to your success in a fitness program. Fitness motivation can help you not only get to the gym or start your workout, but can also help you in keeping to your diet and having better willpower.
So how to you get yourself motivated to workout?
Little Quotes
I find some motivational quotes or posters and post them all over my workspace or keep them in frames around the house. Reading simple quotes like "Sweat Saves Lives" or "Half the Battle is Getting to the Gym" can help remind you of the importance of your fitness and health.
Set An Example
Become a role model to a significant other, family member, or child. You can even buddy up with a friend to motivate each other to get to the gym. When someone else is counting on you, you are more likely to follow through with your plans. If you are overweight, remembering the activities you will be able to do and the extra energy you will have for fun with your children is a huge fitness motivation.
Think of Your Workouts as a Relay not a Marathon
When we start new fitness programs, we always think of the big picture at the end or the final product. This can become overwhelming to most and make many of us give up within the first few weeks. Our goals seem so big and so far away we lose focus and quit.
Create smaller goals to achieve each week so that you can build confidence and momentum. Obtaining many smaller goals is much better than trying to achieve one major goal. Remember, small steps add up to big changes. Before you know it, you will be at your fitness goal and ready to make another.
You Can Do Anything for 60 Seconds
For the same reasons above, do not make your workout routine into a fitness marathon at the gym. You do not need to spend an hour at the gym. Honestly, it only takes me 30 minutes. If that still seems like forever, think of each exercise in 60 second increments. If you are on the treadmill, just think 60 seconds at a time. It's easier for you mentally push yourself over short intervals than longer periods.
Diet Motivation
Diet motivation is an important part being successful in losing weight. There are many weight loss motivation tips out there and I would like to share a few of them here to help you with your dieting motivation.
Don't Focus on The End
Some people are so focused on the end product of their goals that they get overwhelmed. It's good to think big, but to keep yourself motivated in your diet, you need to think smaller. Create weekly goals for yourself. If your ultimate goal is to lose 10lbs in 2 months, then create a goal to lose 1lb a week. It's easier to focus on and achieve many small goals with shorter timelines than larger goals with long end points.
You will be able to stay more focused and the rewards will come every week instead of just once. This will help build momentum and keep you moving forward towards your ultimate goal.
Reward Yourself
The best diet motivation is knowing that you can eat whatever you want at some point. NEVER stick to your diet 7 days a week or you are going to get bored and frustrated. This will lead to binge eating and your diet coming unraveled.
Once a week, have a day where you can eat whatever you want. Ice cream, pizza, cake, french fries, whatever. This will help you stick to your diet on the other days of the week. Also, it will help boost your metabolism so your body will burn more fat during the rest of the week.
Plus, who doesn't like ice cream or cake as a reward for being good?
Find a Good Reason
Find a good reason for why you are losing the weight and why you are on your diet. A good diet motivation tip is to keep a picture of someone who's body you idealize and respect in your mirror. This way you can remind yourself why you are on your diet and imagine yourself with that body.
Is there someone you love that you are doing this for? You should always lose weight for yourself, but if you are doing it to have more energy for your kids, that's a great motivation to keep you on track. Also, if you are doing this for certain health reasons, create a list of all the adverse health effects you are fighting by losing weight. Keep this in your mirror and read it every morning.
Motivational Quotes
Below are some motivation quotes. These quotes about motivation will help get you mentally motivated for success in life, fitness, a new diet, or whatever you have planned. I like reading motivational quotes myself when I am feeling slack or not a in a good mood. They usually help light a fire inside of me that tells me it's time to get back to work.
I have a few books that have motivational quotes that I like to skim through every once in a while.

The Jakarta Post

The annual festival is still going strong in its 39th year.
It was early evening and the exhibition hall on the ground floor of the Ksirarnawa building was packed with visitors, mostly young girls and housewives, browsing through stalls showcasing silver and gold jewelry crafted by local artisans.
The narrow alleyway, barely able to accommodate two persons passing each other, and the absence of any air-conditioning system in the hall, did not diminish the visitors' enthusiasm for the glittering rings, necklaces, brooches, pendants and other trinkets on display.
Suddenly, to the amazement of the crowd, a little boy wearing the mask of barong — a mythological beast and one of the island's most iconic dances — dashed along the alleyway, his hands frantically animating the mask while his father followed him closely. In a hushed voice, the father apologized to the other visitors for his son's sudden outburst.
"I am sorry. He insisted I buy him the mask just now and he has worn it ever since."
It was an unnecessary apology since everybody was obviously amused by the episode. Some cheered the boy up and one lady even uttered a prophecy.
"That boy will grow up to be a great pregina," she said, using the Balinese term for an art performer.

This atmosphere of jovial enthusiasm is not exclusive to that exhibition hall. In fact, this atmosphere pervades every venue at the Werddhi Budaya Art Center, the spacious cultural compound in East Denpasar that hosts the ongoing Bali Arts Festival. The annual event enters its 39th year this year, making it Indonesia's longest-running arts festival.
Some 100 meters to the east from Ksirarnawa building, a similar enthusiasm could be seen on the faces of hundreds of spectators, including many youngsters, who crowded Kalangan Angsoka, one of the center's three mid-size outdoor stages.

The reason for these youngsters' radiant faces was not a modern boy band belting out the latest of Korean music or a handsome, hip DJ. In fact, these youngsters were eagerly watching a performance of Gambuh, a classical dance drama and one of the island's oldest forms of performance art.
The fact that a large number of millennials can actually have a good time watching a slow-paced dance drama originally created in the 15th century might seem like a cultural anomaly. Fortunately, here in Bali, it is the norm instead of an exception.
"Traditional art is everywhere in Bali. You can find it in temple festivals, community functions, government events and private parties. Balinese people practically grow up and live in and within a stage of performance art," scholar I Made Bandem said.
Bali's traditional arts are not a static entity. The challenges brought about by changing times have spurred local artists to be more innovative in order to stay relevant. It is quite common for performers to incorporate contemporary issues, from the country's political ironies to millennials' social media addiction, into dance dramas inspired by Hindu epics written centuries ago.

"This ability to adapt and innovate both in form and substance is another key reason why Balinese traditional arts have succeeded in riding the waves of times," Bandem added.
Another factor is the fact that most of the more than 10,000 performing art troupes in Bali are closely associated with the local banjar (traditional hamlet) and desa pekraman (traditional village), making these troupes an extension of their respective communities' cultural pride and accomplishments.

This emotional connection is quite visible in the Bali Arts Festival, particularly when troupes from different regions share the same stage. An example of this is the gong kebyar gamelan festival, in which two troupes take turns performing throughout a single night at the large Ardha Chandra amphitheater. The performance always draws thousands of spectators, a large majority of whom hail from the home villages of the performing troupes.
"The Bali Arts Festival is the ultimate testament to the enduring ability of Balinese traditional arts to adapt, innovate and maintain the important affinity and emotional connection between the Balinese people, including and most importantly among the younger generation," Bandem said.
The festival, which will run until July 8, presents 230 performances involving around 17,000 artists, as well as exhibitions, parades and seminars.
It also involves art troupes from several regions outside Bali and foreign artists from France, India, Japan, Timor Leste and Tunisia.
Initially conceived in the late 1970s by then Bali governor Ida Bagus Mantra as a platform to showcase the island's artistic masterpieces and cultural legacy, the Bali Arts Festival has played a pivotal role in ensuring the survival and relevance of Balinese traditional arts in the 21th century.

Clare BrewFest returning Aug. 10; to feature 120 beers
The Clare BrewFest is returning on Saturday, Aug. 10, from 2-8 p.m. across from the water tower in downtown Clare.
Presented by the Clare Rotary Club, the Clare BrewFest began in 2011 with the goal of providing craft beer tasting and education to the Central Michigan area.
"We believe the great State of Michigan has some of the best breweries in the world. Our goal is to bring the best brew in the state to our area," a spokesperson said. "We have also 'allowed' for up to five Michigan wineries to be represented at our event as well. This year we anticipate having more than 120 Michigan craft brews to sample and at least 15 Michigan wines. Also, craft root beer will be available."
Proceeds are donated back to the community. In 2013, with the help of sponsors, including title sponsor Cops & Doughnuts, the club is donating proceeds to help the Clare City Police Department purchase another police dog so that the current K9, Officer Swiper, can retire.
Swiper has been fighting crime in Michigan for more than 10 years. For the last five years, Swiper has been part of the Clare City Police Department.
There will also be food, live music by the Kari Lynch Band and Third Coast Steel, and demonstrations with Officer Swiper. The cost is $25 at the gate or $20 online for entry into the event and five tastings. Additional tastings can be purchased during the event. In addition, a $10 non-drinking ticket can be purchased. You must be at least 21 to enter the event.
Visit www.ClareBrewFest.com for more information. To contact organizers, email firstname.lastname@example.com

ÖGFA_Büchersalon 03: Easy Reader - Architecture & FeminismsBuchpräsentation und Impulsvorträge
In November 2016 the AHRA conference Architecture & Feminisms: Ecologies, Economies, Technologies took place at KTH (Royal Institute of Technology) Stockholm. One year later, three publications – two journals and a book – offer a multi-faceted account of the diverse questions and methods used to approach important connections between architecture and feminisms.
With these three publications – the anthology Architecture and Feminisms and the special editions of Field Journal and Architecture and Culture – we have made an effort to create a space for as many of the voices, subjects and positions as possible, which gathered at the conference event. The assembled 59 contributions explore an abundance of different formats, from academic articles to poems, expressing a feminist project that necessarily acknowledges a plurality of positions.
We will offer brief presentations of the publications and the contributions "Suzanne Lacy's International Dinner Party in Feminist Curatorial Thought" by Elke Krasny and "Reproductive Commons" by Julia Wieger.

Effect of various N application times on tree phenology and physiology of 'Mauritius' litchi in South Africa - preliminary results
The post-harvest shoot growth cycle is a period to foster strong bearing shoots for the next season as high quality bearing shoots are the basis for a productive tree. In South Africa soil application of fertilizers in litchi is generally done immediately after harvest irrespective of production area, number of post-harvest flushes and soil type. In order to determine the effect of various application times, specifically of nitrogen (N), before and after harvest, a trial was conducted in the early production area of South Africa (near Malelane) on the cultivar 'Mauritius' ('Tai So') during 2014. Soil applications of nitrogen were done as follows: a) single application during last part of harvest, b) single application after harvest, c) split application during the last part of harvest and at hardening of the first post-harvest flush, d) no post-harvest application (application only before flowering) and e) current practice on trial farm (after harvest application). Soil and leaf nutrient analysis was done to determine the requirement of N for applications. All other nutrients were applied in relation to the N amount. Tree phenology was monitored on a regular basis. Data for leaf N, tree starch content, shoot growth, flowering and yield were collected. The results show that time of N application affects the time of flush emergence, hardening-off time and leaf N content. Tree starch content and leaf N at specific times were positively correlated to shoot growth, flowering and yield. However, further research is underway to confirm the above results.
