The "living space" that Nazis believed they needed, which justified their plan to expand into Eastern Europe and Russia.
Invasion of Ethiopia
Mussolini wanted revenge on the Ethiopians after Italy being humiliated once before by them. He invaded them and greatly outnumbered and overpowered them. Even though the Ethiopians stood their ground for a time, the Italians, in the end, took Ethiopia. This whole endeavor exposed the weakness of the League of Nations, as they knew about it, but did nothing about it.
Spanish Civil War
A conflict form 1936 to 1939 that resulted in the installation of fascist dictator Francisco Franco as ruler of the Falange party of Spain. Franco's forces were backed by Germany and Italy, whereas the Soviet Union supported the opposing republican forces.
Francisco Franco
Spanish general who started the revolt which led to the Spanish Civil War. He led the Fascist Falange party. He became the Fascist ruler of Spain after the Spanish Civil War.
Union of Austria and Germany that Hitler planned in 1938, violating the Treaty of Versailles.
Neville Chamberlain
Prime Minister of Great Britain. Famous for appeasing Hitler at the Munich Conference.
Winston Churchill
Prime Minister of Britain. A noted British statesman who led Britain throughout most of World War II and along with Roosevelt planned many allied campaigns. He predicted an iron curtain that would separate Communist Europe from the rest of the West.
Munich Conference
1938 conference at which European leaders attempted to appease Hitler by turning over the Sudetenland to him in exchange for promise that Germany would not expand Germany's territory any further.
Nazi Soviet Pact
Hitler and Stalin agreed not to attack each other and divided Poland among themselves, but Germany didn't keep true to their word and attacked Stalin later.
"Lighting war", a type of fast-moving warfare used by German forces against Poland n 1939.
Battle of Britain
An aerial battle fought in World War II in 1940 between the German air force, which carried out extensive bombing in Britain, and the British Royal Air Force, which offered successful resistance.
Hitler's air force. He tried to use it to bomb England into submission, but this strategy failed. The RAF (Royal Air Force), though fewer in number, were more maneuverable then German planes. The RAF also had radar, a new electronic device that gave the British enough early warning so they would not be caught by surprise.
Operation Barbarossa
Code name for Hitler's surprise Blitzkrieg attack on Soviet Union on June 22, 1941. It was three-pronged, with Leningrad in the North, Moscow in the Center, and Stalingrad in the South. Early on, the Germans dominated, but later the Soviet Union came back and forced Hitler to retreat due to the poor conditions the Germans were fighting in.
Satisfying the demands of a dissatisfied power in an effort to maintain peace and stability
Third Reich
Hitler's name for the new order he established in 1933. The First Reich was considered to have been the Holy Roman Empire from 963 to 1806; the Second Reich was the German Empire from 1871 to 1918; and therefore this Third Reich was simply the continued outgrowth of German history. He claimed the Third Reich would last 1,000 years. In reality it lasted from 1933 to 1945. Hitler assumed the title of the Fuhrer(leader) of the Third Reich.
Battle of Stalingrad
A 1942-1943 battle of World War II, in which German forces were defeated in their attempt to capture the city of Stalingrad in the Soviet Union thanks to harsh winter. This was the turning point of war in Eastern Europe
June 6, 1944 - Led by Eisenhower, over a million troops (the largest invasion force in history) stormed the beaches at Normandy and began the process of re-taking France. The turning point of World War II.
Battle of Bulge
This was Germany's last attempt at success against the Allies during WWII. This was an epic failure and basically served as a way to waste men, supplies, and fuel. The Germans went through Belgium (which was a bad idea because Belgium was a neutral country, and it caused more tension and hostility) to get to the Western Front for this historic offensive battle.
Final Solution
Germany's plan to execute mass numbers of jews during the final stage of the Holocaust. They were sent to extermination camps in which they would be slaughtered in mass numbers and it was the most deadly stage of the Holocaust.
Josef Goebbels
A German politician and Reich Minister of Propaganda in Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945. As one of Adolf Hitler's closest associates and most devout followers, he was known for his zealous oratory and anti-Semitism. He played a hand in the Kristallnacht attack on the German Jews, which historians consider to be the beginning of the Final Solution, leading towards the Holocaust.
Vichy government
A German puppet government; new French government formed that was pretty much an acceptance of defeat; formed by Petain; it was ruled by the Nazis who were progressively taking over Europe
Marshall Petain
Handed over France to Hitler and governed as his puppet in the new Vichy government; Pétain was popular because he had been a World War I hero and claimed to be "above" politics.
He handed over 75,000 Jews to the Nazis
Charles de Gaulle
This French general fled from France to London after Germany took over France. In London, he set up a government-in-exile committed to re-conquering France. He went on to organize the Free French military forces that battled the Nazis until France was liberated in 1944.
Atlantic Charter
Anglo-American declaration that stated the countries aims for the outcome of the war. Stated people of every nation should be free to choose their own form of government and live free of fear and want, disarmament, and a permanent system of general security
Big Three
They were the most important Allied leaders of World War II: Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill, and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
February, 1945 - Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin met there to make final war plans, arrange the post-war fate of Germany, and discuss the proposal for creation of the United Nations as a successor to the League of Nations. They announced the decision to divide Germany into three post-war zones of occupation, although a fourth zone was later created for France.
The place at which the three allied leaders, Truman, Stalin, and Atlee, met to discuss the distribution of Germany and the ultimatum that they would issue to Japan demanding their immediate surrender.

London suffers Olympics tourism slump
The wettest summer in a century compounded the problem, with some sites attracting 60 per cent fewer visits during the Games than during the same period last year, according to the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions (ALVA).
Some individual attractions suffered such a significant drop in visitor numbers during the Olympic Games – which ran from July 27 to August 12 – that they asked officials at ALVA to hold back full details until the entire report is released next year.
Outdoor sites suffered the worst fall, with visitors to the garden and leisure sector – which includes Kew Gardens and London Zoo – falling by an average of 21.3 per cent.
Tourist Safety in Vietnam's Famed Bay Questioned
By the time Michael Chai spotted the other boat bearing down on his craft, it was too late to shout a warning to the captain, and the vessels collided. Within a few seconds, he and 17 other Taiwanese tourists were plunged into Vietnam's Halong Bay, without life jackets, fighting to survive.
Five people in the party of tourists drowned in Wednesday's accident, trapped under the hull of their capsized boat, raising fresh questions over safety standards in one of Vietnam's most visited attractions.
"I love this country, but I am worried about safety," Chai said in a telephone interview Friday from Halong Bay. "The government should be responsible for this."
Each day, up to 10,000 tourists from around the world sail Halong Bay, a UNESCO heritage site three hours east of the capital, Hanoi. For many, it's the highlight of their trip to this scenic Southeast Asian country. But at least four deadly accidents over the last 10 years and many more alarming safety incidents recounted on travelers' blogs have led to allegations that tour companies are cutting corners.
Your hotel room can be hacked with a 'dry erase marker'
One of the nice things about traveling is staying in a hotel—assuming you pick the right hotel. You get a nice comfy bed, perhaps some free breakfast in the morning, and people to come in and tidy up everyday. One thing you probably don't expect, though, and wouldn't appreciate, is having an unauthorized visitor enter your room while you're not there.
Well, depending on what type of key system is used at the hotel you're staying in, it might be possible for someone with a "dry erase marker" to bypass the door key system and walk right in. No, you can't circumvent hotel door security with an actual dry erase marker, but security researchers recently demonstrated a tool disguised as a dry erase marker, which can be used to access some hotel door locks.
The locks in question are used in more than four million rooms, found in 22,000 hotels around the world. Is your preferred hotel chain one of them? Perhaps. The manufacturer of the affected lock system has promised to fix it ASAP.
Emirates airlines allows in-flight cell phone chatting
Love it or hate it — cell phone use is now making its way onto airplanes while in flight.
According to All Things D, the Dubai-based airline carrier Emirates is now allowing its A380 aircraft passengers to chat on their mobile devices while in the air. The first call was made last week by using the airline's Wi-Fi service called OnAir.
Emirates is known as a tech savvy airline. In 2006, it announced that it would start letting passengers use cell phones during flights, along with e-mail and text messaging. At the time, the technology to make this happen was fairly clunky because cellular signals had to be operated through a satellite system. Presumably, using OnAir's technology now makes cell phone use a bit more seamless.

How We Know About the Universe
You've all seen a prism. Issac Newton did this first in the 1670s and we know now that regular light is made up of component colors. Colors are just different frequencies of light that our eyes can detect differently. There are other frequencies of light like infrared, x-ray and radiowaves that our eyes can't detect but we can build machines that detect them. The component colors are called the spectrum and it's the same colors as the rainbow (water vapor in the air acts as prisms to make rainbows).
In the early 1800s two scientists independently discovered when looking at spectrums from the sun that there were some dark lines in the colors seen. These dark lines are called Fraunhofer lines after one of those scientists, Joseph von Fraunhofer.
In the mid 1800s scientists were discovering and cataloging the different chemical elements, (the Periodic table was invented in 1869). Around this time, scientists discovered that if you heat a substance until it glows and look at the spectrums produced from that light, that different substances showed unique Fraunhofer lines. Therefore, by looking at the spectrum you could determine the chemical makeup of the source. We understand now that this is related to photons energizing electrons in the elements but I won't go into that detail here.
It's important to note that a substance won't be indicated by one just dark line. In fact, a substance is indicated by several lines, in specific positions (ie at specific frequencies) and of different widths. Scientists were looking at the spectrum of stars and categorizing them for a while but it was Cecilia Payne in the 1920s that related the spectra to the temperature and chemical makeup of stars. For this, she earned the first PhD in Astronomy from Harvard. She found that stars (and in fact the universe) consist mostly of Hydrogen and the remainder being almost entirely Helium, but that's the topic of another post.
So lets shift to a different topic. How do we know how far away stars are? For stars relatively close to us scientists starting using parallax around 1830. Hold your finger up to your face and look at it with one eye and then the other. Notice how it's position seems to change against the background. Scientists do this with stars against their background but instead of using the distance of your eyes (a couple of inches) they use the diameter of Earth's orbit. If you look at stars throughout the year and study how they are positioned, you can do geometry to figure out the distance to these close stars. Stars that are further away, however don't seem to move, so you have to use another method to determine their distance.
If they don't move, how do you tell the difference between a bright star far away and a dim star close to us? Wouldn't they both look the same? What scientists use is known as a standard candle, that is something that we know shines at the same luminosity no matter how far away it is. Luminosity is how bright something actually is as compared to how bright it appears because of distance.
If you look at different stars, some are bright, some are dim, some are different colors. Some stars vary how they look (size, brightness) and are called variable stars. Cepheids are a specific type of variable star that are bright (1,000-10,000 times as luminous as the Sun) and pulse over the course of tens of days. The length of this pulse is known as its period. The North Star is a Cepheid variable star.
In 1908 Henrietta Swan Leavitt published her first paper that showed that Cepheids have a pattern that brighter ones have longer periods. Scientists knew the distance of nearby Cepheids by using the parallax method. Studying those, Leavitt could figure out a formula for how much light they produced (their luminousity) based on their period. Now by looking at distant variable stars and measuring their periods, scientists could compare their brightness (appearance) against their luminosity and figure out how far away they were.
In the early 1920s, Edwin Hubble used Cepheids to measure the distance to several nearby "nebulae". Well at the time they were thought to be nebulae but Hubble found they were much further away from other objects. He found some stars were (relatively) close and other objects were very far away and this is how we learned that there are different galaxies from our own (the Milky Way).
So we can figure out how far away things (stars and galaxies) are and we can analyse their spectrum and figure out what they are made of. There's another big discovery here. It turns out when you look at the spectra of different objects, they don't line up exactly the way we think they should. This is where the fact that substances show several different Fraunhofer lines is important. If there was just one line and you saw a line in a different location you'd assume it was different. But scientists saw the set of lines in proper relationship to each other but in the wrong position on the spectrum. They were all shifted to the red side a little bit.
The reason is related to the Doppler Effect, which is the same thing in sound waves. When a train approaches you, it compresses the sound waves making the train sound higher pitched and as it passes the sound waves elongate, making the pitch lower. When light waves shift to the red (longer wave lengths) it shows the object is moving away from us. The crazy part, is that whatever direction from the Earth we look, everything is redshifted, there's nothing that is blue shifted. This means everything is moving away from us.
Hubble didn't discover this redshift but he did correlate the shifts from several galaxies and in 1929 came up with a formula, (known as Hubble's Law) that more distant objects are moving away from us faster than closer objects are. That is, the redshift of more distant objects is greater than the redshift of closer objects and the differences are in proportion to the distance. The neat thing, which is again something for another post, is that this matched up with Einstein's theory of relativity that said the universe is expanding. Einstein (and others) had the theory and Hubble found the evidence.
So here's the last bit, if the universe is expanding now, it was probably expanding before. So in the past it was smaller. If you keep extrapolating backwards, it was very small, the size of a point and then started expanding; that's the Big Bang. There's a lot more to the theory than just this extrapolation and there's even evidence backing it up. For more on the Big Bang, I highly recommend Simon Singh's book Big Bang.
Open questions remain about what will happen to the universe. Will it keep expanding? Since gravity attracts things together will it ultimately stop expanding reach equilibrium or even start contracting?
There's obviously a lot more to these topics. But I think the basic concepts should be understandable to most everyone and in the last two years they've fascinated me. If you found this interesting please post in the comments, I'll do more in the future.

Although I didn't digest everything in the post, I enjoyed it a fair bit. I hope you'll do one at some point about the origins of the atoms on earth as well as how many (all?) things on this planet are directly/indirectly powered by the sun :-)

The bit about determining distances to stars when parallax doesn't work. I think I ended up having to do some puzzling out of the terms "brightness" and "luminosity" -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminosity#In_astronomy (FWIW, I'm still working on digesting the brightness/luminosity stuff.)
Since I got a bit lost there, I found the Hubble part not so easy to follow and consequently not as interesting.
The Doppler bits I was somewhat familiar w/, so from that point on it was ok for me. - Sun Mar 18, 10:33:00 AM EDT

Thanks. I had known I was mixing terms brightness and luminous and was lazy. I've tried to clear that up.

BMW Motorrad is issuing a recall on a number of 2012 S 1000 RR sportbikes for a potential connecting rod bolt issue. According to NHTSA recall documents, an anti-corrosive agent applied to the connecting rod bolts in the engine apparently affected bolt torque, and because of a "manufacturing process error for torque control", the bolts can come loose at high rpm and/or high temperatures. Should that happen, an obvious catastrophic engine failure can occur…
The official recall is affecting 1414 units in the U.S. produced between Sep. 1, 2011 and Apr. 10, 2012, but documents say that approximately 900 of the recalled S 1000 RRs are still in BMW inventory, so those will be obviously fixed before going back out for sale. That leaves a potential 514 new BMW superbike owners who will be officially notified by mail in May that they need to get their S 1000 RR over to their nearest dealer immediately for free replacement of the connecting rod bolts. S 1000 RRs with a VIN sequence starting ZL16475 or higher are not affected by the recall.
From the NHTSA safercar.gov website recall page: Make: BMW Model: S 1000 RR Model Year: 2012 Manufacturer: BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC Mfr's Report Date: APR 19, 2012 NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 12V177000 NHTSA Action Number: N/A Component: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE Potential Number of Units Affected: 1,414 Summary: BMW IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012 S1000RR MOTORCYCLES, MANUFACTURED FROM SEPTEMBER 1, 2011, THROUGH APRIL 10, 2012. DUE TO A MANUFACTURING PROCESS ERROR, THE CONNECTING ROD BOLTS MAY BECOME LOOSE DURING HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURES AND/OR HIGH ENGINE OPERATING SPEEDS WHICH COULD RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE. Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF ENGINE DAMAGE, ESCAPING OIL COULD CAUSE HANDLING ISSUES, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. Remedy: BMW WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CONNECTING ROD BOLTS FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING MAY 2012. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BMW CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND SERVICES AT 1-800-525-7417. Notes: CUSTOMERS MAY CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); OR GO TO HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV.
From the official BMW Motorcycles Facebook page post:
BMW has issued a delivery hold and is recalling 1,414 2012 model year BMW S1000 RR motorcycles to inspect and correct a potential problem with loosening of the connecting rod bolts. As a result of a manufacturing process error, the bolts could loosen and fall out. If this happens, the engine may fail, seize, and/or leak oil. Approximately 900 of the affected motorcycles are still in BMW or dealer inventory and will be inspected and corrected prior to customer delivery. Owners of potentially affected motorcycles will be notified by mail in May advising them to bring their motorcycles to an authorized BMW Motorcycle dealer to have the recall performed. The connecting rod bolts will be replaced and installed with a thread locking agent.
Please contact our Customer Relations team at 1-800-525-7417 if you have additional questions.

What the Press say
"...We were heading for Linthwaite House, overlooking Lake Windermere... Through the rain the award-winning Linthwaite beckoned, a 1900's house on a hilltop in fourteen acres of lawns, woods and lake. We'd barely checked in before the children, like unleashed dogs, bounded into the grounds, whooping like banshees. Meanwhile, we dried off by the reception fire (using only wood cut from the grounds - it's admirably green)..." - Jackie Annesley, London Evening Standard, May 2010. Read the full article here!

ISLAMABAD / LAHORE: Pakistan on Monday invited militant groups including the Taliban for peace talks and said banned organisations would be delisted if they "closed down their militant wings".
Pakistan has banned more than 30 militant outfits, including al Qaeda, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
"If the proscribed organisations assure us that they have closed down their militant wings and abandoned extremism, then we would like to meet them in next few days," Interior Minister Rehman Malik told reporters.
"We have been contacted by several banned organisations that want to sit and talk. If they want to give up militancy we will talk to them as we are revising the list of proscribed organisations," Malik said.
He did not identify any group but said that the government had "even offered the Taliban to give up militancy and join the federation".
Mehrangate: Malik says he has 'solid proof'
Malik affirmed on Monday that he has 'solid proof' in the Mehrangate scandal and is ready to take it to the Supreme Court.
Talking to the media outside the parliament, Malik said that the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) should also go to the Supreme Court to prove that it is not guilty.
On the other hand, the PML-N released an official statement on Sunday saying that the allegations against the party in the Mehrangate scandal were being framed on the advice of President Asif Ali Zardari.
"Habib is a special pawn of Zardari which he has used it against Sharifs," read the statement.
The statement added that Habib's past is full of fraud, corruption and fake allegation charges, and Zardari should come forward openly instead of playing "such cheap tactics".
"Habib, on Zardari's directions, is fooling the nation," it further said.
The Mehrangate scandal emerged after the Supreme Court began the hearing of air marshal Asghar Khan's 20-year-old petition in which he stated that the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) rigged the 1990 elections by handing out money to several politicians.
Former chief of Mehran Bank Younis Habib appeared before the Supreme Court and had admitted of handing out Rs140 million to various politicians.
Malik displeased with Punjab government's arrangements
We never chant 'Go Shahbaz Go' because we know you were elected constitutionally and through the peoples' votes, remarked Malik during a media talk on Monday.
Responding to why there was no picture of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah during Istanbul mayor's visit to Lahore on Sunday, Malik blamed it on the "hatred" of the Punjab government towards the ruling government.
"When I went to Lahore, I saw that there was no picture of the Quaid-e-Azam, the president or the prime minister… Even if you hate us so much, you can bear a heavy heart for some time and put up the pictures of the country's leadership," said Malik.
He added that whenever a foreign delegation lands, it should see Pakistan's atmosphere. "It shouldn't happen that only pictures of the Punjab leadership are evident."
"If they are disparaging the president, then they are disparaging themselves… Perhaps, you will be in our place tomorrow," said the minister.
We don't want our foreign delegations to return from airport by looking at staring posters of loser leadership.
At least there should be Qaid-e-Azam's picture! Shame on PML(N) government in Punjab………Recommend
If you have SOLID PROOF then what are you waiting for ??? A written invitation????
Come on the present whatever proofs and evidences you have and let the beficiaries of 'Mahran Bank' looted wealth be exposed so that people can see the actual thieves here and decide who they wish to elect in next elections. Come on Rehman Malik it's your chance don't squander it by just using as bargaining chips.
Dr.Malik, are you really naive or pretending to be one ?
agreed @umair..
hahaha…any sane person in the world would want to discuss anything with the current leadership? who can take them seriously? mr.z, mr.g, mr.ba, mr.rm ms.firdous, and the others… for God sake, cannot we have anyone else out of the 18 crore people in pakistan?
Pathetic – YOU CANNOT MAKE A DEAL WITH SATANS (TTP)
Sc must punish Shareef brothers for accepting bribe money
You both are the two sides of a coin just blaming each other and nothing more.
This is just a rehabilitation scheme to legalize JUD under the garb of Difa-e-Pakistan.The justification will be peaceful rallies. When IRA gave up violence they surrundered there weapons to government. Are these outfit going to surrender their weapons/ Denounce violence against Pakistan and usual list of enemies like USA, India, Israel etc?
How about adding the Lahore BAR Association to the list of Banned Terrorist Organizations? Not only do its lawyers openly support and condone terrorism but also praise and protect violent terrorists and extremists. Plus they also openly practice bigotry against minorities… Don't think the Jury's Out on this one… Recommend
Banning a militant organization without tossing the militant leaders in jail has accomplished what?
Put it Mr Hitler picture the real man … behind the azadi of indopak.
Yes, and please do not forget to include PPP and PML (all factions), MQM, APM, JUI, IUJ and their various manifestations.
Denounce extremism? So according to your definitiin mr malik. Anyone who calls for replacement of this corrupt man made democratic setup with the islamic political setup of khilafat is deemed an extremist even though he uses political and intellectual struggle to achieve that aim. Wah jee wah. That is why you have banned peaceful groups like hizb ut tahrir who totally reject it. Let it be clear, you have no authority over these bans, its your masters sitting in washington who are the real player in our country.
Under your leadership all top terrorists of the world have visited Pakistan made it a terrorist heaven. All I have to say that "buck" stop at you Mr. Malik. And one more think, no, they don't need visa to visit and live in Pakistan.

Ashley Tisdale: Back to Blonde
by Hilton Hater at .Ashley Tisdale is the anti-Kim Kardashian.
She hasn't been ransacked by Ray J on video, nor does she milk every public outing for publicity.
With the introduction above, however, we're actually referring to the dueling hairstyles of these celebrities.
Earlier this summer, Kardashian abadoned her failed experiment to live as a blonde; that "alter ego" has been replaced by Kim's typically dark locks.
Conversely, Tisdale dyed her hair brown a few months ago, didn't contact every supermarket tabloid to brag about it, and has now returned to her lighter roots. Which look do you prefer on the High School Musical star?

Believing Foxconn Means Suspending Belief |
The Foxconn makeover is in full swing, with the latest this piece from the New York Times that supposes that the world's largest ODM is worried that Apple -- yes, Apple -- might be bringing it down: What this conveniently ignores, of course, is that no matter how demanding and dictatorial Steve Jobs could be, those weren't Apple employees jumping to their deaths from their Cupertino offices. Such unpleasantries aside, what the story also reveals is that Foxconn does not intend to go head to head with its customers. There's ample evidence to the contrary already, of course, not the least of which are the Foxconn retail stores popping up all over China, not to mention the litany of ODM phones and other consumer electronics it design and makes. To paraphrase an old saw, believe what I say, not what I do.

Prince Rupert potash terminal gets regulatory approval
Federal regulators have given conditional approval to a plan by Canpotex and the Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA) to construct a potash export terminal and associated transportation infrastructure.
Canpotex is proposing to construct and operate the terminal and the PRPA is proposing to construct the enabling transportation infrastructure and utilities, which is called the Ridley Island Road, Rail, and Utility Corridor.
Both projects will be located on Ridley Island in the Port of Prince Rupert on B.C.'s northern coast.
Environment Minister Peter Kent recently announced the proposed Canpotex Potash Terminal Project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects with the implementation of mitigation measures and a follow-up program.
The terminal will include the following components:
marine wharf, access trestle, causeway and all weather ship loading facility capable of receiving vessels of up to 180,000 dead weight tonne;
180,000 tonne potash storage building with associated conveyor and dust collection systems;
automated railcar unloading and conveyor system, automated portal scraper and dust collection system;
settlement pond for storm water and wash down water, marine outfalls;
administration, personnel, maintenance, and storage buildings; and
site services including water supply, natural gas and sewage.
Once the terminal is fully operational, it will have the capacity to export up to 11.5 million tonnes of potash annually.
The PRPA Road, Rail and Utility Corridor will include:
rail loop (about 7,818 m), consisting of a railbed for up to 14 inbound and 11 outbound tracks;
three inbound rail tracks and two outbound tracks laid for the Canpotex Terminal;
69 kV transmission line (about 3.4 km) connecting Ridley Island and the Canpotex Terminal to the BC Hydro power transmission system;
access road with a rail overpass and underpass;
rail land bridge and culverts; and
infilling of foreshore marine habitat along Chatham Sound.
The utility corridor will service the Canpotex facility as well as other future developments on Ridley Island.
Construction will also require temporary structures, including site offices, first aid stations, washrooms, equipment maintenance shops, temporary lay-down areas and barge landing sites.
The project will be located on about 160 hectares (ha) of land, as well as a 13.5 ha water lot.
The export terminal will require about 21 ha of land and the PRPA transportation corridor will require about 125 ha of upland area
A single environmental impact statement was submitted for the terminal and corridor.
Projects that were undergoing a comprehensive study at the time the provisions of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, (2012) came into force will continue to follow the requirements of the former act.
Under the former act, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency is responsible for conducting the study.
Canpotex is an international marketing and distribution company wholly owned by the Saskatchewan potash producers: Agrium Inc., The Mosaic Company, and Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc.
Operating since 1972, Canpotex is the world's largest exporter of potash, with offices in Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Saskatoon and Vancouver. Potash sales for Cantopex are normally in the range of 8-9 million metric tons a year.
These projects have been selected from 387 projects with a total value of $7,314,102,807 that Reed Construction Data Building Reports reported on Wednesday.

by Ibn Warraq (Feb. 2009)
In many Western universities there are heaps of Foucaldian rubbish waiting to be taken out with the trash. Perhaps this article will help hasten the day. Forse.
Sweet Foucault here.
I happened to be reading Edward Said's Reflections on Exile when this came out (yes, I lead an exciting life), and happened to read it around the same time as I re-read Edward Said's obituary for Foucault, "Michael Foucault, 1927-1984." NER's readers might find the contrasts amusing.
Unlike Ibn Warraq, Said deals with Foucault's views on the Iranian Revolution in a single obscure, but decidedly exculpatory paragraph (p. 195), which is sandwiched on the one hand by adulation for the "regimen of erudition" Foucault practiced, and on the other by praise for Foucault's exhaustiveness as a "researcher" and the "exhiliration" he produced in his readers.
This bit of whistling in the dark comes from an author who otherwise cannot get off of the topic of the specifically political circumstances and implications of humanistic research, and can't stop making accusations about those who deal too lightly with it. Well he got off the topic fast enough here.
Later we are told that Foucault "wanted everyone to be aware of what disciplines, epistemes, and statements were really all about, without illusion." I'm not quite sure what the "really" could signify if "episteme" (i.e., knowledge) is itself an illusion. And never mind that Foucault's dubious "want" went into mysterious remission on the occasion of the Iranian Revolution.
But my favorite passage is: "But whether Foucault is read and benefited from as a philosopher or as a superb intelligence riskily deploying language and learning to various, often contradictory ends, his work will retain its unsettling, antiutopian influence for generations to come" (p. 196).
It tells you something about Said's standards that he regards self-contradiction as the mark of intelligence. But those, I guess, are the standards required to praise Foucault as he does. And that, I think, is an accurate summary of both Said's and Foucault's "unsettling influence for generations to come."
Ironically, I happen to be teaching Foucault's Archaeology of Knowledge in a class on epistemology next term. I'll give it a fair shot, and trust my students to make up their own minds about it (assuming they actually do the reading). The "generations to come" are now here. They might as well figure out how to deal with being "unsettled."

Use the Tags box to add tags to your posts. Separate keywords and phrases with commas or full quotes. E.g., art, illustration "drawing" will result in #art #illustration #drawing.
If you have more than one Tumblr blog, you can post to any of them, including private and group blogs, by adjusting Tumblenote's settings. You can even open multiple instances of Tumblenote on the Dashboard, one for each blog.
If you've set up your blog with Tumblr to send posts to Facebook or Twitter, this will continue when you create posts with Tumblenote.
Click the Tumblr logo to go from one dashboard to another. The Mac OS X Dashboard will disappear and the Tumblr Dashboard will open in your Internet browser.
With HTML code, you can create custom posts that look great and function beyond average. Use HTML in the body of text posts; in the captions of photo, video and audio posts; and in the descriptions of link posts.
Tumblenote will automatically check for updates to its software. If a newer version is available, a notification will display so you can download it.
Thanks to the Mac OS X Keychain, your Tumblr password is saved and encrypted securely, not in plain view in a regular preference file. And when you remove Tumblenote from the Dashboard, it automatically clears your password from the Keychain and deletes the widget preferences, leaving no trace behind.

Forever Family: Mind Body Spirit... Celebrating 10 Years
Mind-Body-Spirit... A Path to Healing Childhood Abuse
Forever Family Kicks Off 10th Year of Service
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (August 10, 2012) "Keeping our Children Safe, A Team Approach" is the theme of Forever Family's 10th Anniversary Kickoff, taking place on September 13, from 10:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Lauderdale Yacht Club. The event is chaired by Caryn Botknecht, Kathy Leone and Manya Lowry and emceed by Tony Segreto, Forever Family Board Member and former NBC 6 South Florida anchor. The Presenting Sponsor is Tonja Haddad Coleman, PA.
"We are truly grateful to our good friend Tonja and her colleagues at the firm for their generosity in supporting us and for their kindness and generosity for our children throughout the year," said Gia Tutalo-Mote, Founder/CEO of Forever Family. "They share our passion for helping the neediest of children in our community, those without families of their own."
"We support Gia and Forever Family because they are the voice for the children who have nobody to speak for them," said Ms. Haddad-Coleman. "We are lucky to have wonderful families and the ability to give time, attention, and love to our children, and Gia and Forever Family make sure that many other children are afforded the opportunity to receive the same," she added.
Forever Family's television segments reach millions of viewers each year with the message that everyone can make a difference in the lives of children in foster care. This critical program changes perceptions about the children removed from their home, including those "aging-out" when they turn 18.
Launched locally on NBC6 South Florida in 2002, Forever Family now airs in hundreds of cities across Florida and in North Carolina on NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox affiliates. Forever Family also has a toll-free phone line where viewers can receive information regarding fostering, volunteering and adopting. Youth aging out or families in need can be connected with available resources. Over the past 10 years, Forever Family viewers have donated more than a half a million dollars in cash, goods and services for Broward's foster children, medically needy children and those leaving foster care without a family at age 18.
Thanks to the support of the Children's Services Council of Broward County (CSC) and NBC6, Forever Family is able to promote and enhance other agencies' efforts at no cost to them. "I am proud of the fact that Forever Family has been an effective community partner for the past 10 years and delighted by their success. Gia's dedication and relentless support on behalf of children and youth in need of a permanent home is an inspiration to all," said Cindy Arenberg-Seltzer, President/CEO of the CSC.
"Forever Family is the most valuable recruitment program the agency has," said Emilio Benitez, President/CEO of ChildNet. "Not only does Forever Family find families for waiting children, it also uses powerful TV media to raise awareness and change perceptions about who the children in foster care really are."
Forever Family's NBC6 South Florida segments have generated more than 1,200 calls and e-mails each year, with inquires about adoption and helping find families for more than 400 children living in foster care. The model program is being replicated throughout the country and has won such honors as the United States Department of Health & Human Services' Adoption Excellence Award, the Congressional Angels in Adoption Award, Florida Department of Children and Families Advocate of the Year, and numerous other prestigious awards.
"This will be a 'kick-off' to a full year of activities and fundraisers designed to help support an organization that has done so much for so many children, families and non-profit groups in our community," said Kathy Leone.
Renowned Author and Criminal Investigator Joe Matthews will be the Keynote Speaker. Best known for solving the cold case of Adam Walsh 25 years ago, Matthews served on the City of Miami Beach Police Department for 29 years. His book, "Bringing Adam Home: The Abduction That Changed America," co-authored with mystery writer Les Standiford, recounts the tragic and shocking abduction and murder of 6 year-old Adam Walsh.
The vital event will also serve as the venue for the presentation of the 2nd Annual Marsha and Alan Levy Champion of Child Abuse Prevention Award. This year the prestigious award will be presented to the family of the late director the Broward County Sexual Assault Treatment Center, Nancy Cotterman. Broward AWARE! Protecting Our Children, chaired by Andrew Leone of the Children's Services Council of Broward, sponsors the award.
Additional program speakers include: Retired Judge John Frusciante, discussing judicial proceedings; Marsha Christie, speaking about Broward Sheriff's Office investigation of cases; Clinical Psychologist Brooke Foris, Psy.D. with the Chrysalis Center addressing treatment plans for abuse cases; Anne Alper, Esq. focusing on family law and children's rights; and Forensic Psychologist Amy Swan, Psy.D. an expert on children's evaluations and the need for therapy. Lauren Book, author of "It's OK to Tell," will share her own personal story and her commitment to put an end to sexual abuse.
"We are grateful for the host of child welfare experts who have graciously volunteered their time to share their insight and experience into healing childhood abuse," said Ms. Tutalo-Mote.
Tickets are $50.00 and benefit Forever Family and Bella's Group. For more information, visit www.foreverfamily.org or call 1-888-365-FAMILY. The Fort Lauderdale Yacht Club is located at 1725 Southeast 12th Street in Fort Lauderdale.
Keeping Our Children Safe includes an array of speakers addressing specific child needs. Renowned Author and Criminal Investigator Joe Matthews will headline the event and discuss the progress which has been made in child safety throughout the years. Mr. Matthews served on the City of Miami Beach Police Department for 29 years investigating more than 1,000 death cases. He is most recognized for his efforts in solving the cold case of Adam Walsh 25 years after his disappearance and authoring "Bringing Adam Home". Additional program speakers include: Retired Florida Circuit Court Judge John Frusciante, who will provide overall insight into judicial proceedings; Marsha Christi, CPIS Service Provider Specialist with BSO, discussing the procedures and investigation of cases; Anne Alper, Esq. focusing on family law and children's rights; Forensic Psychologist Amy Swan, Psy.D. who will discuss children's evaluations and the need for therapy; and Clinical Psychologist Brooke Foris, Psy.D. with the Chrysalis Center addressing treatment plans for abuse cases.
This luncheon will also serve as the venue for the 2nd Annual Marsha and Alan Levy Champion of Child Abuse Prevention Award, being presented to the family of the late director the Broward County Sexual Assault Treatment Center, Nancy Cotterman. In collaboration with the County's Broward AWARE! Protecting Our Children efforts spearheaded by Andrew Leone, Community Partnership Specialist with the Children's Services Council of Broward, the award recognizes the work of outstanding individuals in Broward County dedicated to children. For the past several years, Broward AWARE has brought much needed attention to the prevention of abuse and neglect among our children. Joining the efforts to honor and remember Nancy Cotterman is Lauren Book, founder of Lauren's Kids and author of "It's OK to Tell," a book which relates her own personal story and her commitment today to put an end to sexual abuse.
Cindy Arenberg Seltzer, President/CEO of the Children's Services Council of Broward County, a Forever Family funding partner states, "The CSC proudly supports Forever Family. Our partnership has helped fulfill the dreams and aspirations of countless children and youth. I couldn't be more delighted that, as the CSC also recently celebrated its 10 years, we have supported Forever Family and hope to continue doing so for the next 10 years," she said.
Thanks to the support of the CSC and in partnership with ChildNet, Forever Family has become an integral part of assisting children who have been removed from their home. Forever Family gives children in foster care and those "aging-out" of foster care an opportunity to advocate for themselves by utilizing the power of media to raise awareness about their need for adoption. Forever Family is broadcast on NBC6 South Florida in Miami-Dade and Broward counties and WPEC-CBS 12 in Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast. This program has resulted in thousands of recruitment calls and hundreds of new adoptions, foster parents and volunteers.
Keeping Our Children Safe A Team Approach is a kick-off for Forever Family's 10th year of service. Since 2002, the agency under the direction of Gia Tutalo-Mote, has helped to find homes for more than 400 children living in foster care. On-air segments generate more than 1,200 calls and e-mails each year with inquires about adoption. The model program is being replicated throughout the country and has won such honors as the United States Department of Health & Human Services' Adoption Excellence Award, the Congressional Angels in Adoption Award, Florida Department of Children and Families Advocate of the Year, and numerous other prestigious awards.

Agnish Anju DMD
Phone: (570) 644-3900
Address: 550 West Walnut Street
Shamokin, PA 17872-5226
Services Provided: Dentists
One of the most important decisions in medical care is picking the right dental professional. Having a healthy smile and mouth can have a major effect on your personal and professional life. The quality of your smile makes a big first impression. Taking care of your teeth is extremely important, and choosing the right dentist in Shamokin is a big part of that process. In this article I am going to share with you some ways to find the right dentist.
Before you do anything else, you need to figure out what you need. What type of service are you most enthusiastic about? Major services or just some simple cleanings? Are you interested in braces or getting teeth bleached? If you're just looking for basic teeth cleaning services then you won't need to be as picky.
Next, you will want to learn about your dentists background and education. It is good to learn about the practice too. Are there several dentists in Shamokin, PA who are available there or is it simply a solo practice. If you're looking to have a precise procedure done, it will be a good idea to look for a dentist in Shamokin, PA who has a lot of experience with that specific process. Request pictures of previous work done. This will give you a good idea of the quality of the work.
The last thing you must do is examine the price. Usually when the prices are suprisingly low, there's a good reason. Most of the dental offices who promise low prices are only trying to do a large amount of volume. This is not a good thing if you want specific treatment. You can learn a lot by researching online and also contacting the practice. Remember to ask a lot of questions. Following the advice above is likely to make selecting the most appropriate dentist a lot simpler process. when looking for a dentist in zip code 17872.
Have you actually been to Agnish Anju DMD? If so remember to give a detailed review.
