Climate Science Day Proves Exhilarating, Exhausting for Three Scientists
Rick Katz and his colleagues from Colorado were a bit apprehensive as they set out on Climate Science Day for an early morning Capitol Hill meeting. Their host, Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado), "is on the record as being skeptical that climate change is being caused by humans," said Katz, a statistician at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder.
The meeting with the legislative director "was tough at first," Katz recalled. "But I knew Lamborn had introduced legislation on disaster funding, so I showed them a graph of billion-dollar weather disasters and how they've been increasing in recent years." That shift "from talking just about the science of climate change to the impact" helped spark a true discussion.

The third annual Climate Science Day, 26-27 February, was about building relationships as a resource for understanding the myriad factors that can affect climate change, explained Joanne Carney, director of the AAAS Office of Government Relations. To help organize this event, Carney worked with the Washington-based staff of other professional science societies, coordinating visits to congressional offices for more than three dozen scientists.
"The point was to meet with as many members as possible, Republicans or Democrats, who have an interest in the research that is being done in their state," said Carney. "This was not about asking for funding, it wasn't about policy options; we were just here to present the science very objectively and robustly."
Much of the first day in Washington was spent in training to lay the groundwork on how to interact with congressional staff. "I've had meetings on the Hill before but what was really eye-opening is the type of preparation that they do provide," said another scientist in the Colorado contingent, Kevin R. Petty, chief science officer with Vaisala Inc. in Louisville, Colorado.
"The way we communicate is so important," he added. A word may have a specific meaning for a scientist but a very different connotation for somebody else. "Going through that preparation and hearing some of the discussions on how to communicate was a little bit unexpected for me. It was really good."
Thomas Kampe, assistant director of remote sensing with the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) in Boulder, said, "Not having that, going in cold, it would have been much more difficult to communicate."
"Staffers were most interested in impact that is tangible today—things like wildfire and drought," he said. "And then hopefully you can extend that to, these are some of the things we would expect to see from climate change. But it was hard to make that transition. People were very focused on what is occurring today."
Perhaps the biggest challenge for Kampe was to step out of his own comfort zone of jargon and use clear, plain English to explain basic scientific principles. "It made me realize how difficult it really is to convey the overall message of what climate change is, how we are seeing impact, and how to relate it to people who may not have a strong scientific background."
Petty was pleased to be able to bring a private sector perspective to the discussion. He found most of the staff receptive to the view that "government doesn't have to be responsible for doing everything; there are companies that do have capabilities out there that can help." The message had particular resonance on the day before the across-the-board U.S. federal budget cuts known as sequestration kicked in.
The three citizen scientists were unanimous in describing their experience as "exhilarating" and "exhausting." "The people we met with were very cordial and accepting. They were willing to listen to what we had to say and have a real conversation," Kampe said. "We didn't have any meetings that were adversarial."
"I've watched C-SPAN for years but you don't have any idea what it is really like unless you go there," said Katz. "These legislative assistants are incredibly hard working, bright, mostly young people. It's an incredibly fulfilling experience to do at least once."
"Although you are quite exhausted, you walk away with a sense of accomplishment and that you could contribute to something that was much larger than yourself or your organization," said Petty.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Washington Examiner has kicked off an advertising campaign with the tagline "Intellectual Capital for the Nation's Capital" - consisting of bus, subway and ballpark signage, radio spots, and ads appearing nationally on television and digital networks - to run throughout the fall. The campaign highlights incisive political reporting from the likes of David Drucker and Susan Ferrechio, as well as distinguished commentary writers - Michael Barone, Byron York, Paul Bedard and Timothy Carney - who bring to Washington Examiner readers the perspective that helps them form their own opinions.
After seven years publishing as a daily newspaper, the Washington Examiner has officially re-launched as a website and weekly glossy print magazine, providing an essential source for national political news and commentary. The magazine has a print run of 45,000 that is - unique among political magazines - distributed to every office on Capitol Hill, to every governor's mansion, and to every state legislature across the country.
"Change is the story in today's news business," says Lou Ann Sabatier, CEO of MediaDC, which publishes the Washington Examiner. "We looked at our strengths and pivoted to a new forward-thinking business model, retaining the strong columnists and reporters that our growing online audience told us they avidly followed."
The Washington Examiner, or WEX as it is often called, has expanded its talented team of journalists who understand how the nation's capital works and know the substance and the politics of issues - and write about them with flair, fairness and insight into how things are apt to turn out. "We've hired more than a dozen national journalists and we're adding strength to our investigative team," says Editor Stephen G. Smith. "A lot of Washington stories are hidden: sometimes in plain sight, but often in places where old-fashioned journalism - digging, asking tough questions, pouring over reams of documents - is the only way at getting at the truth."
"Our commentary content is centered right," explains Executive Editor Mark Tapscott, "but we belong to no party and we're committed to journalism that explains and informs."
"Washington Examiner," Sabatier notes, "believes that, while the methods and means of journalism may evolve, great journalism is always important to a great democracy. We feel strongly that there is a need for our brand of journalism. We bring thought leadership to the national debate."
About The Washington Examiner

"Glad it was only a quick over night."
Hotel was overly warm and had a "dirty smell" to the lobby area, however, the room was adequate for a quick overnight stay once you went in and cranked the air conditioning. The phone from the room did not work so if you needed assistance, you would have to walk down and ask for help from whomever was at the desk. Do not understand why they are using […] "mail samples" of shampoo in the paper containers instead of actual little bottles. Doors to the outside were not secured even though it stated they were exit only you could walk right back in. Not safe at all.

We were not very happy with our stay at all. First the elevator was at the opposite end of the hotel. We were to have next to each other and instead we ended up with a room between us. Next, the pool was a disappointment. It was very small and when the gate got shut we got locked in the pool area and the only way to get out was my husband had to climb […] over the top and go to the front desk and get the manager and he had to bring a key to unlock the gate. Also, The food for the breakfast was terrible. a donut was about the extent of the free breakfast. The second room under my name the air conditioner did not work good at all.

1.3.5 Journals Journals and articles written by academics or experts are an excellent source of information. Journals are usually published monthly or quarterly, and contain a selection of articles providing details of recent research. Often they will also contain reviews of relevant books. They are usually published more quickly than books, and so are often more up to date. To access content of journals, most publishers require a subscription. There are, however, some journals which you can freely ac
4.3 Green from the grassroots up People who demand a radical break with the business-dominated path of economic globalisation believe that the claims of the mainstream business community are at best hopelessly inadequate, and at worst deceitful. However, they know they have to come up with some answers of their own. This section outlines ideas that seek to underpin a transition to green economies owned and run at grassroots level.

1.3.3 The role of clouds We have already identified one role that clouds play in the Earth's climate: they are highly reflective (Section 1.2.1). At any given time, about half of our planet is covered by clouds; the sunlight they reflect back to space accounts for about 55% of the total planetary albedo. However, clouds also absorb and re-emit outgoing longwave radiatio

The wavelength of radiation has important climatic implications, as we shall see shortly. For now, we are mainly interested in the overall rate at which energy in the form of solar radiation reaches the Earth. 2.2 Environmental pragmatism: positioning expert support I believe that the principal task for an environmental pragmatism is not to reengage the … debates in environmental ethics but rather to impress upon environmental philosophers the need to take up the largely empirical question of what morally motivates humans to change their attitudes, behaviours, and policy preferences toward those more supportive of long-term environmental sustainability. (Light, 2002, p. 446) References 2.2.1 Environmental economics Environmental economics emerged as a sub-discipline in the 1960s, following a tradition that began in the early twentieth century with 'agricultural' economics and continued in the 1950s with 'resource' economics. In each case, natural resources are treated as environmental assets in the same way as other resource inputs, using the classical mainstream supply and demand economic models.

It depends upon the models used and the scenarios they are asked to run. It seems almost certain, however, that there will be increases in the global mean surface temperature, to the order of +1.5 to +4.5 °C (– possibly more, according to some models and scenarios. These changes are predicted to be associated with increases in sea level, changes to weather conditions (e.g. more regular and violent winter storms in the UK) and changes to t 2 Altering the environment Later in this unit we will be considering a number of ways in which humans alter their environment. In what ways do you think we are altering the environment? 1 1 Why sustainable energy matters One of the greatest challenges facing humanity during the twenty-first century must surely be that of giving everyone on the planet access to safe, clean and sustainable energy supplies. Throughout history, the use of energy has been central to the functioning and development of human societies. But during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, humanity learned how to harness the highly-concentrated forms of energy contained within fossil fuels. These provided the power that drove the 6.4 Summary After passing through a treatment works, water flows via transmission mains to service reservoirs which act to even out variations in consumption during a 24-hour demand period. It is then taken by distribution mains from the service reservoirs to the consumers. The head of water necessary for flow is provided by positioning the service reservoir at the correct level or by pumping. A pumped pipeline is called a rising main. The size of mains pipelines depends on the quantity and flow rate of 5.8 Additional treatment As a result of strict standards set by the EU Directive on the Quality of Drinking Water, it is now often necessary for drinking water to have further treatment to remove components such as nitrates and trace of organics. 2.3 The life sciences sector in perspective Before leaving the 'big picture' of the evolution of the pharmaceutical industry, it is important not to give the impression that it is the sole, or necessarily even the central, player in health provision. As in any other industry, it can contribute only because it operates in a wider sphere populated not only by other institutions and organisations but also by more amorphous socio-political ambitions, values and beliefs. For example, the medical technology industry facilitates health by 3.1 What makes a nation, a state or a nation-state? Why do England, Scotland and Wales take part in the Six Nations rugby championship alongside Italy, Ireland and France? Are they all 'nations'? What do we mean by calling them 'nations'?

Scholars, politicians and political activists present different definitions of the nation, usually focusing on a variety of cultural, political, psychological, territorial, ethnic and sociological principles.

Such evidence is crucial to the practice of social science and to the production of social scientific knowledge. You may be aware of the idea of active reading, which is about reading with the aim of understanding and grasping something: a definition, an argument, a piece of evidence. What that suggests is that active reading is about reading and thinking at the same time. In Lesson 10 - One Minute Romanian

What are your thoughts on the current health care debate?
August 18, 2009
Austin Baragary ( in Tonganoxie) says...
"I believe it's good for our country to have a dialogue over this, because it is so important that we get this right the first time, even if some are conducting themselves in a negative way."
Gloria Brimhall ( in Tonganoxie) says...
"I don't know if it will work, I don't know if it is the answer, but I think it is worth a try (referring to President Obama's proposed health care plan)."
Robin Jones ( in Tonganoxie) says...
I don't pretend to have answers to the health care debate. However, I do have strong feelings about a certain part of it. The government has no business running it. In my opinion, it's just another of my freedoms the Obama administration and congress is trying to take away. People whose voices have been ignored by their senators and representatives for years and are now making those voices heard at public forums are being called 'angry mobs,' 'un-American,' and other names I can't mention in print. A recent headline in the Lawrence Journal-World mentioned that these people, who are peacefully protesting what they perceive as their nation being ripped away from them, are "anti-reform." I don't know a single person who does not think the health delivery system is broken and needs to be fixed. No one is anti-reform, but there are genuine differences in opinion of how that reform should be accomplished. The administration's position is that anyone who disagrees with their ideas on how to accomplish it is anti-American or racist. I could not disagree more vehemently.

Saenuri's dispute shows signs of abating
By Lee Tae-hoon
The internal feud in the ruling Saenuri Party showed signs of abating Thursday, a day after unusually harsh comments from the conservative party's interim leader Park Geun-hye. Rep. Park warned that if lawmakers who consider themselves her supporters continue to fight each other for their own interest, "the party will be headed toward self destruction." Rumors had circulated that the party leadership had decided to allow her supporters to have the majority of the party's decision making Supreme Council posts and the chairperson position at the Saenuri's upcoming National Convention to be held on May 15. Insiders had speculated that it was highly likely that Kang Chang-hee would become the new National Assembly Speaker, while Rep. Suh Byung-soo would become floor leader and Rep. Choi Kyung-hwan the secretary general. All three figures are considered close to Rep. Park. Suh, one of the strongest contenders for the party's floor leader election, played a role in settling the internal feud. He declared that he would not run for the election to pick the ruling party's No. 2 post in an attempt to dispel speculation that pro-Park figures, including him, were trying to dominate the party's top posts. Observers say that it has become increasingly difficult to predict who will take the party's most coveted seats as Park wants to give more chances to lawmakers not affiliated to her faction. More of Park's supporters are also expected to declare giving up their ambitions to run in the National Convention. |

Modern viticulture has improved the quality, the quantity, and the certainty of a good, drinkable crop!
Often the beginning wine drinker prefers a sweeter variety of wine, amongst white wines German Riesling would be a good example, and amongst red wines, perhaps a lighter wine like merlot, or a more fruit forward wine like zinfandel or shiraz would suit the palate of the early wine drinker.
The dry, dusty "Old World" style of classic French wines can take some time to fully appreciate - and lots of sampling different wines, appreciating the fine nuances revealed by their grapes, terroir, barrel aging, even the way they are tended can greatly affect the end product.
Probably a middle ground would be the American Napa Cabernets, outstanding in their own right - and other "New World" more fruit forward wines.
What REALLY matters is what YOU enjoy, both NOW, and as your wine tasting and comparing journey continues - its a lifetime of enjoying the bountiful harvest from the vineyard - enjoy! Take the risk of trying new, different wines, and seeing if you can appreciate the wodnerful qualities of each, and see if you enjoy one more than others. Every now and then "treat" yourself to a jump UP the price scale, to enjoy a better wine - this can be done inexpensively by buying the best "by the glass" product offered, or purchasing at "wholesale cost" at your liquor store and enjoying at home. It's an enjoyable wine tasting journey - and you will see many variations, many approaches to making a fine, fine wine!

Rachelle Axten of Minton travelled more than 10,000 kilometres to run a marathon of 42 km, but it was all in the name of raising funds for a charity close to her heart.
Axten completed her first full marathon in Rio de Janerio, Brazil to help raise funds and awareness for the Canadian Diabetes Association. She complete the race in just over three hours and had a great time doing it.
"It was a lot of fun," said Axten. "My first marathon went a lot better than I expected it to. After I finished the race and went back to the hotel, I felt great. My mom couldn't believe how good I felt."
In addition to completing her first marathon, Axten has also raised $6,200 so far for diabetes. And she wasn't the only one down there raising for the cause. In total, Team Diabetes Canada had 65 participants in the race, and they were all raising funds.
Axten spent a total of five days in Brazil and she said the weather was beautiful every day, except race day.
"It rained like crazy the entire day of the race," she said.
The rain wasn't necessarily a bad thing for the race as Axten said she would much rather run in the rain than the heat of Brazil.
Although the race was the reason for her southern trip, Axten said she also enjoyed her time down there with Team Diabetes Canada.
"We had lots of team meetings and suppers leading up to the race," she said. "It was nice to be part of a big group, and to hear about their stories of how diabetes affected them."
Axten's grandpa, and dad both have diabetes and it made her want to get involved with helping raise funds for the disease. Anytime she had trouble training, Axten said she would think of her dad and grandpa to get the extra motivation.
She also wants to teach people about diabetes. In Brazil, Axten ran the marathon with lots of people who live with diabetes and she said it was great to see them and hear their stories.
"It goes to show you that if you have diabetes and take care of yourself, it won't slow you down," said Axten. "The people with diabetes had no problem running the marathon."
Axten is still raising funds for the Canadian Diabetes Association, and you may make a pledge to her by visiting www.teamdiabetes.ca. She has until September to raise funds for her race in Brazil, but she is also accepting donations for a 10-km run in Saskatoon Aug. 25. People may send a cheque, made payable to the Canadian Diabetes Association, to P.O. Box 261, Minton, SK, S0C 1T0. Anyone with questions may also contact her at 306-861-9789.
She added that the support she has received from the community has been great.
"I just want to thank everyone for the support they continue to show me," said Axten.

(KING) Media from across the country and around the world are in Seattle to witness Washington state's first steps into an era of legalized marijuana.
The new law, passed by voters last month as Initiative 502, makes it legal for persons ages 21 and over to possess up to one ounce of marijuana. But the state law doesn't trump the federal ban on marijuana, nor does it tell police how to go about enforcing it or licensing growers and retailers to produce and sell it.
Seattle Police late Wednesday issued orders to officers from doing more than issue a verbal warning to users until further notice. The department said it could take up to 30 days for the city or state to enact legislation stipulating how SPD should enforce I-502.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Tidal Country Notes
Korea (Republic)
It was announced in mid-2005 that the country's first tidal power plant was to be constructed at Sihwa-Lake, 25 km southwest of Seoul on the western coast of the Peninsula, with the Korea Water Resources Corporation acting as project developer.
The artificial lake was created between 1987 and 1994 to provide water for agricultural purposes. A dam curtailing the tidal currents was constructed but the quality of the water deteriorated, becoming heavily polluted following a rise in local industry and a consequent increase in factory wastes.
A sophisticated plan has been formulated whereby the power plant will utilise the head between high tide on one side and the level of the lake on the other. The scheme will not only provide generation of electricity but also environmental improvements and tourist attractions. The Korean Energy Economics Institute reported in April 2007 that construction of the 254 MW plant will be completed by July 2008 and that annual power generation is expected to be in the region of 550 GWh. On completion Sihwa-Lake will be the world's largest tidal energy plant.
In May 2007 the city of Incheon announced that it had signed an MOU with Korea Midland Power Co. and Daewoo Engineering and Construction to build the Ganghwa tidal plant. At 812 MW, the 32-generator plant would overtake the Sihwa-Lake project to be the world's largest tidal scheme when the plant becomes operational - planned for 2015. A 7.8 km long dam will connect four islands: Ganghwa, Gyodong, Seokmo and Seogeom.

The only condition that can cause this appearance is the possibility of this being an ectopic pregnancy.
1) How does this correlate with the fact that this patient has a history of previous LSCS?
2) Can this pregnancy / sac be somehow related to the LSCS? Are we dealing with a gestation sac in the scar of the previous cesarean section?
The location of the sac in the anterior wall of the uterus is a further clue supporting this possibility. The scar of the LSCS is located in the anterior wall of the lower uterine segment. What is your diagnosis?
Final Diagnosis
Ectopic pregnancy located in LSCS scar – "scar pregnancy" or scar implantation. Scar pregnancy used to be one of the rarest forms of ectopic gestation. However, the rising use of cesarean sections has resulted in an increased incidence of scar pregnancies in the subsequent pregnancies.
Differentail Diagnosis
1) Aborting gestation sac on its way out of the uterus may present a similar picture. However, an aborting sac would be seen inside the uterine cavity and not inside the myometrial wall. Besides, the embryo in such a sac would be dead and the sac would be oblong with no trophoblastic vascularity around the aborting sac.
2) Cervical pregnancy can also present a similar picture. However the pregnancy would be lower down in the cervix and not within the myometrium.
3) Nabothian cysts can sometimes mimic a scar implantation. However, these are usually thin walled and may be multiple. Nabothian cysts are always located in the cervix.

Temporary Admissions of Nonimmigrants to the United States
Consider these common categories of foreigners you might encounter in a US city: the camera-toting tourist, the executive of a multinational company, and the PhD student. One thing they all share, no matter which country they came from, is their status as nonimmigrants. In 2008, the United States counted 39.4 million nonimmigrant admissions, the highest level since 1990.
This updated Spotlight takes a detailed look at the admission statistics of foreign nationals who came to the United States on a temporary (nonimmigrant) visa in
2008 and who have to complete an I-94 arrival/departure form (more about the I-94 form on this page of the US Customs and Border Protection website).
The data are from the Annual Flow Report Temporary Admissions of Nonimmigrants to the United States: 2008 and from tables published online, all
from the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Immigration Statistics (OIS).
Note: all yearly data is for the government's fiscal year (October 1 through September 30).
Click on the bullet points below for more information:
Nonimmigrants may only engage in activities permitted under the visa issued to them. A nonimmigrant visa does not necessarily lead to lawful permanent residence. For example, a woman comes to the United States as a student. While on a student visa, she marries a US citizen. Her spouse can petition DHS on her behalf to adjust her status from a student to that of a lawful permanent resident. Family reunification would be the basis for her adjustment (see the Spotlight on Legal Immigration to the United States). If the couple meets all required criteria, she will receive a "green card" stating she is lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
(Note: this example is a very simplified case provided mainly to illustrate the point.)
There is no limit on the total number of nonimmigrants admitted each year. Nonimmigrant admissions represent the number of arrivals, not the number of individuals, admitted to the United States. The number of nonimmigrant admissions does not equal the number of nonimmigrant visas issued by overseas consulates. There are a number of reasons for this difference. First, not all foreign nationals need a visa to enter the country. Nationals of 35 countries that are part of the Visa Waiver Program (including most European Union countries, Canada, Japan, and South Korea) can travel to the United States without a visa if they come for a period of less than 90 days as tourists or business travelers.
Second, most nonimmigrant visas are valid for several years. And third, some people may choose not to travel to the United States even if they obtain a visa, or they may choose to travel in the next (fiscal) year.
Two important groups are exempt from completing I-94 arrival/departure forms. The total number of nonimmigrant admissions to the United States more than doubled from 17.6 million in 1990 to 39.4 million in 2008. Between 2007 and 2008, temporary admissions of I-94 nonimmigrants increased from 37.1 million to 39.4 million or 6.4 percent.
A number of factors caused the 15.1 percent drop in nonimmigrant admissions between 2001 (32.8 million) and 2003 (27.8 million), one of which was increased scrutiny of visa applicants following the September 11 terrorist attacks. However, the upward trend resumed after 2003.
In 2008, nine out of 10 nonimmigrant admissions were temporary visitors (tourists and business travelers). Temporary workers and trainees, including H-1B "specialty occupation" workers, registered nurses, temporary agricultural workers, North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) professional workers, treaty traders, and intracompany transferees, among others, accounted for 1,949,695 arrivals (5.0 percent of total admissions); this figure includes spouses and children of all temporary workers and trainees.
Students who came to the United States to study at academic or vocational institutes together with their family members made up 3.6 percent (1,424,613) of total arrivals.
Citizens from three countries — Mexico, the United Kingdom, and Japan — accounted for more than 40 percent of all nonimmigrant admissions in 2008. Nationals of these seven countries, together with those from South Korea (2.6 percent or 1 million), Brazil (2.3 percent or 0.89 million), and Australia (2.2 percent or 0.87 million), accounted for 64.6 percent of the 2008 total of nonimmigrant admissions. The overwhelming majority were tourist admissions.
Nationals of South Korea, China, India, and Japan made up a third of all foreign academic student admissions in 2008. Together, the top 10 countries of origin represented 54.1 percent (or 713,402) of all foreign academic student admissions.
Nonimmigrants from India composed more than one-third of all H-1B "specialty occupation" worker admissions in 2008. Nonimmigrants from Mexico and Jamaica accounted for three-quarters of all H-2B seasonal nonagricultural worker admissions in 2008. Four states — California, Florida, New York, and Texas — were the intended destination for half of all nonimmigrant admissions in 2008. Of all 1.3 million foreign academic student admissions in 2008 (family members are not included in this figure), about half intended to study in six states: California (15.6 percent or 206,166), New York (12.8 percent or 169,110), Massachusetts (6.5 percent or 85,740), Texas (6.1 percent or 80,375), Florida (5.8 percent or 75,888), and Pennsylvania (3.8 percent or 50,355).
Of all 409,619 H-1B temporary worker admissions (family members are not included in this figure) in 2008, 16.1 percent (66,031) intended to go to California, 15.5 percent (63,396) to New York, 8.1 percent (33,348) to Texas, 8.1 percent (33,292) to New Jersey, and 7.9 percent (32,451) to Florida.
Of all 104,618 H-2B seasonal nonagricultural worker admissions in 2008, 19.0 percent (19,845) intended to go to Texas, 9.4 percent (9,834) to Louisiana, 9.1 percent (9,542) to Florida, 5.9 percent (6,211) to Colorado, and 3.7 percent (3,867) to Arizona.

Vietnamese Literature
Vietnamese Literature
Vietnamese literature in the twentieth century reflects centuries of Chinese occupation, eighty years of French rule, and America's presence during the conflict between communist North Vietnam and democratic South Vietnam. In addition, Roman Catholic missionary work in Asia during the nineteenth and early twentieth century increased Vietnamese literacy and resulted in a greater demand for literature. The twentieth century in Vietnam began under French rule, which, combined with the influence of Chinese culture, produced works of a heavily moralistic nature, as evidenced by the stories of Nguyen Ba Hoc. Poetry as practiced during the first half of the twentieth century by such writers as Tan-Da Nguyen Khac Hieu, A-nam Tran Tuan Khai, and Dong-ho Lam Tan Phat often is described as lyrically romantic. Other writers focused on patriotic themes, eventually becoming known as the Dong-king School of the Just Cause. The advent of Vietnamese literary criticism and journalism in the 1930s occurred concurrently with the Self-Reliance literary group, which consisted of several poets who consciously rejected Chinese writing styles in favor of an indigenous Vietnamese vernacular style and themes that advocated individual and women's rights. The writing of this era continued to focus on traditional themes while introducing new rhyme schemes and rhythms that further relied on the use of Vietnamese language rather than Chinese. In the latter part of the 1930s and continuing through the 1960s, Marxist themes became more prevalent. Social themes of poverty and unfair taxation of Vietnam's peasant population became increasingly popular subject matter for Vietnamese fiction writers.
In the 1950s France signed an armistice that divided the country into the southern Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the communist North Vietnam. France withdrew its colonial government in the 1950s, and the conflict between North and South escalated. The period between the mid-1950s and mid-1960s, however, witnessed a flourishing of literary activity in both countries. Works of this period typically are divided among writers wishing to reunify Vietnam as one communist country, the social realism of South Vietnam, and the heavily political poetry of North Vietnam. The imprisonment of future North Vietnamese president Ho Chi Minh prompted him to write a series of extremely popular poems, while writers in the South continued to advocate democracy and denounce communism. Many of these South Vietnamese writers were incarcerated or exiled for creating works considered "specimens of a depraved culture" after the United States withdrew its military support of the country in 1975, and North Vietnam reclaimed the South. The communist government of Vietnam, however, relaxed many of its restrictions on travel, trade, and culture during the late 1980s and 1990s, which increased the country's literary output and sparked new interest in Vietnamese drama, poetry, and fiction.

Deep is the friendship between Viet Nam and China; We are comrades as well as brothers.
This concise description of the close relationship between the Vietnamese and Chinese peoples was written by President Ho Chi Minh of the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam. And this deep friendship between two peoples who have long been comrades-in-arms is vividly reflected in all fields of life, including art and literature.
The literary ties between China and Viet Nam go back to the thirteenth century or earlier. Many classical Vietnamese writers had a good knowledge of Chinese literature and sometimes even wrote in Chinese. Similar customs and social conditions as well as related languages facilitated learning from each other and cultural interchange, which reached unprecedented proportions after the Chinese people's liberation. There are now more contacts than ever before between Chinese and Vietnamese writers, and many Vietnamese works have been made available in translation to the Chinese reading public. I want, briefly, to give my impressions of some Vietnamese writing in Chinese translation I have recently read.

[In the following excerpt, O'Harrow discusses the political and cultural changes during which Nhat Linh wrote and published.]
This brief essay is intended to shed some light on the early life of Nguyen Tuong Tam who was one of the most widely read authors of his day in Vietnam1. With the present upheaval in Vietnam, it is difficult to tell whether the works of Nguyen Tuong Tam will continue to enjoy the vast readership they had in the past; this apart, Tam was in many ways representative of his generation and for those of us who are interested in modern Vietnamese history, he is a reflection of the troubled period in which he lived.
In the latter third of the Nineteenth and the first part of the twentieth century, Vietnam was undergoing profound changes. Among other things, the newly installed French colonial administration was in need of interpreters and of some means introducing modern methods to the members of the old bureaucracy. To this end, they established the "Franco-Annamite" schools which gave instruction in the quoc-ngu romanized alphabet, and the romanized alphabet began to replace chu nom2 and Chinese characters as the primary written medium. Inevitably, the spreading of the...

[In the following excerpt, Marr introduces English translations of the prison writings of Ho Chi Minh and Phan Boi Chau.]
Phan Boi Chau is revered today as a Vietnamese patriot of the first order. Streets are named after him in all parts of Vietnam. His birthplace in Nghe An province is a national monument. His writings—at least those that managed to survive colonial proscription and confiscation—are now published widely, analysed minutely, and incorporated in university and secondary school curricula. Several poems by Phan Boi Chau are remembered and recited eagerly by Vietnamese of all ages and backgrounds. His name is synonymous with tough, unyielding resistance to foreign domination.
Yet when Phan died in 1940, he was convinced that he had accomplished very little. For all the public adulation, both today and when he was alive, Phan was a self-confessed failure in almost everything he did. As a youth he helped organize a group to oppose the first French troops entering his home province, only to see them dispersed "like a flock of birds." His family house was destroyed, his father...

[In the following excerpt, Huan surveys the poetry, drama, and fiction of North and South Vietnam between 1945 and 1975.]
Before examining Vietnamese literature over the past twenty years, it would be interesting to take a closer look at the historical and geographical context of Vietnam over the two decades. The period was rich in events of considerable international importance which contributed to the evolution of its literature.
Above all, Vietnam should be considered in its ambient milieu, that is, Southeast Asia, one of the greatest cultural crossroads of the world today. Vietnam extends to the edge of the Indochinese Peninsula and opens to the east on the Pacific Ocean. Its coastline totals over 3,000 kilometres and it has common frontiers to the north with China (1,150 kilometres) and to the west with Laos (1,650 kilometres) and Cambodia [now Kampuchea] (930 kilometres). A fairly low chain of mountains, known to French geographers as "Cordillere Annamitique" (Annamitic Chain), separates it from these two countries of Indian culture. This geographical situation provides it with numerous cultural exchanges with other countries of the world, and it can be easily imagined that influences of both Chinese...

[In the following essay, which is a revised version of an essay originally published in French in 1969, Durand and Huan outline the history of Vietnamese literature.]
It is no exaggeration to say that in the period 1900–1975 Vietnamese literature reached heights unequalled in all its history. This flowering was no doubt due to a combination of factors—political, economic and social; but the most important single cause was the introduction of quoc-ngu (the system of writing literary and colloquial Vietnamese in the Roman alphabet). It slowly but surely superseded the nôm system of transliteration in Chinese characters, which had always been cumbrous to use—indeed, it was not officially recognized by the majority of emperors. But if quoc-ngu ushered in a new era in Vietnamese literature, it is because politically the situation was opportune. The French had only recently established themselves in Vietnam (1862, for most historians, marks the end of Vietnamese independence and the beginning of the colonial period); and with the French occupation of the whole of Indochina Western civilization burst with shattering impact into a world long closed to it. The conflict between the two cultures, Chinese and French,...

Even upon first arriving, immigrants sense they have been for a long time traveling in the West.
—Teshome Gabriel
In discussing decolonization in Les Damnés de la terre (1961), Frantz Fanon argues that one of the challenges facing those movements seeking to dismantle colonialism is to provide for a new order which refuses to reproduce the old colonial system; this new order must avoid, he argues, the replacement of the colonizer by a national party that would merely caricature the old colonialism, and it should be equally suspicious of an uncritical nativism appealing to essentialized notions of precolonial identity. In Fanon's account, old logics and social relations persist, particularly, through the ties of the national bourgeoisie to the colonial order. The assumption of power by the national bourgeoisie may do little to transform the configuration of social relations that existed under colonialism, leaving the economic relationship of the neocolonial society to the former colonial power only...

[In the following essay. Diamond examines contemporary Vietnamese drama.]
Although the 'open-door' policy, or doi moi, was largely adopted by the Vietnamese because other socialist and former socialist countries were encouraging free market economies, and Vietnam's own economy needed a radical opening-up to stimulate it, party leaders were not unaware of the risk posed by the policy to the traditional and developing national culture. A draft report of the Eighth Party Congress made in June 1996 stated that culture was of particular importance during the doi moi period:
Culture is the spiritual foundation of society, a moving force to promote the socio-economic development and a target of socialism. All short- and long-termed cultural activities should be aimed toward a modern culture combined with a strong national character. They should inherit and bring into play moral and aesthetic values as well as the cultural and artistic legacy of the nation.
(Le Minh Ly, 1996)
During both the French and American Wars, culture was closely connected to revolutionary tasks. Ho Chi Minh said, 'Culture should be a front in which...

[In the following excerpt, Chung discusses the importance of poetry to Vietnamese cultural identity through French colonialization and American involvement in the Vietnamese conflict to the early 1990s.]
From 179 B.C.E. until 938 C.E., China ruled Giao Chau—the country we now know as Viet Nam. In 1077, during the Sung dynasty, the Chinese sought to reimpose their rule. When the Vietnamese forces, commanded by Marshal Ly Thuong Kiet, faced the superior Sung army along the Cau River, Marshal Kiet composed the following poem to rally his troops:
The Southern Emperor is to reside in the Southern land. This has been clearly marked in the Book of Heaven. If unruly troops from afar dare to encroach, They will certainly face annihilation.
Asserting Viet Nam's right to independence ("The Southern Emperor is to reside in the Southern land") and claiming that right by divine decree ("clearly marked in the Book of Heaven"), he proclaimed an independent future for a country one-tenth the size and population of its giant neighbor. His words might seem like sheer bravado—except for the confident voice and the unimpeachable grounds for that confidence. And his prediction of "annihilation" for...

VANCOUVER, Sept. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - CN (TSX: CNR) (NYSE: CNI) announced today plans to start freight service on approximately 75 per cent of the rail network operated by bankrupt short-line Kelowna Pacific Railway Ltd. (KPR) in southern British Columbia after reaching trustee, customer and labour agreements that support resumption of operations.
KPR, which leased its network from CN in 1999, entered receivership on July 5, 2013, and halted operations. CN this week reached mutually satisfactory agreements with the line's trustee to take it out of the bankruptcy process, Tolko Industries Ltd., the main customer on the line, and the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC) and TCRC-Maintenance of Way Employees Division (TCRC-MWED). The TCRC and TCRC-MWED represent approximately 35 locomotive engineers, conductors and track maintenance workers employed by the insolvent B.C. short-line railway.
Jim Vena, CN executive vice-president and chief operating officer, said: "I'm pleased to say that the parties were able to come together to assemble the right business and labour conditions to justify the resumption of rail traffic on the major portion of the KPR as well as a sizeable capital investment required to protect rail service in the region. We are targeting the resumption of operations as soon as we can ensure the track is brought back to a standard to ensure safe train operations."
CN will resume operations on 97 miles, or approximately 75 per cent, of the network KPR operated running from Campbell Creek, B.C., located approximately 10 miles east of Kamloops, to Vernon, Lumby Junction and Lumby, B.C.
CN will discontinue track KPR operated between Lumby Junction and Kelowna, B.C., because of insufficient freight traffic. The 60-day discontinuance process under the Canada Transportation Act will start later this week.
CN (TSX: CNR)(NYSE: CNI) is a true backbone of the economy, transporting approximately C$250 billion worth of goods annually for a wide range of business sectors, ranging from resource products to manufactured products to consumer goods, across a rail network spanning Canada and mid-America. CN - Canadian National Railway Company, along with its operating railway subsidiaries -- serves the cities and ports of Vancouver, Prince Rupert, B.C., Montreal, Halifax, New Orleans, and Mobile, Ala., and the metropolitan areas of Toronto, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Calgary, Chicago, Memphis, Detroit, Duluth, Minn./Superior, Wis., and Jackson, Miss., with connections to all points in North America.

Press Release: January 9, 2013
Woodbridge, CT – With the help of local horticulturist, Bruce Lindsey, and his company, Dig Trees, Massaro Community Farm recently planted 150 trees to reclaim habitat, aid in erosion control and add much needed wind break in the ongoing farm operations. Massaro Community Farm totals 57 acres, which includes 12 acres of fields
"Part of the process of reclaiming this space is removing dead and invasive species from the land, and replacing it with native habitat that will support our pollinators," said Farm Manager Steve Munno. Munno worked closely with Lindsey on the planting, and in selecting species that would complement the farm operation. Wind break trees that were planted included sugar maple, serviceberry, horse chestnut, chokeberry, tulip tree, tupelo and swamp white oak. Replenishment of native species included viburnum, button bush, elderberry and white meadowsweet.
Dig Trees, located in Orange, is dedicated to help the environment through tree planting. Lindsey takes pride in hand selecting trees that will be specifically suited to their location, only plants mature, healthy trees (not saplings), and personally overseeing all plantings.
This mass planting, completed just before the end of 2012, was made possible by a grant to the farm by the National Resources Conservation Service, a division of the USDA. The farm celebrated a series of other successes in 2012: receipt of organic certification, the installation of a solar array on the restored dairy barn, the expansion of cultivation and offerings through its CSA (community supported agriculture), a summer camp program in August, and an impressive farm-to-table dinner in September that doubled attendance over last year.
Massaro Community Farm is a non-profit farm on a 57-acre parcel of land in Woodbridge, Connecticut, 10 minutes northwest of New Haven. Our mission is to keep farming, feed people, and build community. Our vision is to enhance the quality of life for generations to come.

Two international marine experts from the University of Newcastle will present a free public lecture at the Central Coast campus this Friday 12 October.
Dr Geoff MacFarlane will discuss his research into the affects of chemicals on marine molluscs in his lecture titled 'Environmental estrogens and gender-bending molluscs.'
Estrogens are female sex hormones and their release into the marine environment can impact on the reproduction of organisms such as the feminisation of males.
Dr Margaret Platell is an international expert on the feeding and diets of fish.
Her research provides marine managers with information on the likely impacts of the by-catch of fish from marine ecosystems, and her lecture will focus on the diets of three large Western Australian fish.
The lecture will be followed by refreshments and the opportunity to meet the researchers.
The public lecture will be held on Friday 12 October at 6pm in Lecture Theatre 1 at the Central Coast campus of the University of Newcastle.

this looks kind of ok.
the one thing i really don't like and it could be dealbreaker for me
is no real 60fps just some kind of fake 60fps feel.
it would be nice if at some point od the development they figure out how to make it run in real 60fps...
(it looks smooth in the trailer)
but i suppose not everybody cares about that
and other than that it looks kind of interesting
somewhat too kiddy with his fuck you attitiude
but he suppose to be young ass i guess...
Finally looking/feeling like a DMC game again...No more hanging in the air for 2-3 minutes with attacks that do crap damage. Like the new sound effects, gives Dantes swings that visceral feeling again. Even ok with the colors now.
Just get creative with the bosses, and this looks like a great game...Man Ninja Theory really had me scared when first showing this stuff off...They adjusted a lot, improved and listen to feedback, and it shows dramatically...
Had the religion of Christianity been preserved according to the ordinances of the Founder, the state and commonwealth of Christendom would have been far more united and happy than they are. Nor can there be a greater proof of its decadence than the fact that the nearer people are to the Church, the head of their religion, the less religious are they.
"By their Fruits, you will recognize them..."
I actually like the Japanese guantlet of bosses thing. It seems to be more a capcom thing that a japanese thing, as Capcom has been doing that since the original Megaman games. I like it though, just that in DMC4, they rehashed the levels to doing that too, which was basura. They had the gauntlet in DMC3 as well, and I liked how it was done much better there, as it was laid out almost exactly how it's usually done in their Megaman games.

I never liked that shit. Always felt like padding to me. Only slightly less annoying than having to backtrack.
It's cool to me, as usually you can fight them a lot more effectively since you're both stronger and more knowledgeable on how to fight them. I remember in DMC3 (the og hard version), it literally took me 3 weeks to beat the game, playing on a daily basis. I'd get stuck on some of the bosses for like 2-3 days till I figured out a definitive strategy to beating them. I liked that 1nce I was able to face them all again, i could beat their asses on 1-shots and shyt. And since that game played it out more like Megaman, with all the bosses being in 1 hub location, there wasn't that backtracking thru old terrain feel to face them.

Tameem on future DmC sales
DmC Dev: 'I don't care if it sells a thousand units or two million'
Developers of the new Devil May Cry game, DmC, have got a lot of hate from fans of the series, who claim that the direction the game is going in is too drastically different. Tameem Antoniades was questioned about the game in PSM3, and responding to a comment by a fan who said the game is unlikely to sell well, he replied:
"Usually the worst creative crimes are made when you're trying to make a game for someone else - some perceived demographic that, in all likelihood, doesn't actually exist."
He also said that the only way to make a successful game is to make a game that the developers themselves want to play. He continues:
"So from that point of view I don't care if it sells a thousand units or two million units."
It seems that the developer has confirmed that they are making a game for themselves, rather than the fans of the game. Surely this is a bad idea? After all, Heavenly Sword and Enslaved were not the most successful games, are they relying on the fact that the franchise has enough fans to create sales, whatever they do to it?
Playfrance.com PS4 News 24/24 the latest news.
"Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit.Being true to yourself really means being true to all the complexities of the human spirit"
I am a big supporter of this mentality personally. Too many devs [come to think of it, not *too* many] care too much about everything they read and go all over the place. Just stick to your guns.
It's a bit more complicated though when you are jumping into a established franchise. Many might say "but they are fucking up a beloved franchise", well we don't know that yet. And if they do, it's up to people in charge to put the right dev for the job. So if NT does what they want and it turns out as a DmC game that fans don't like, it's more Capcom's fault for picking the wrong dev for the job to carry on their IP.

When you're being creative this is the right approach. Remains to be seen whether they botch the job but the guaranteed route to failure is to try and please everyone. When you make stuff, it's best to make something you would enjoy (games, cartoons, movies, books, music) and hope for the best.
I can imagine the reviewer quotes on the box now: "Not as bad as I was expecting" and "Worth a rental!"

3 Meetup Groups match "Agnosticism" near El Paso, TX
There are no upcoming Meetups.
If you've rejected traditional religion (or were never religious to start), you may be asking, "Is that all there is?" It's liberating to recognize that supernatural beings are human creations … that there's no such thing as "spirit" … that people are undesigned, unintended, and responsible for themselves. But what's next? For many, mere atheism (the absence of belief in gods and the supernatural) or agnosticism (the view that such questions cannot be answered) aren't enough. Atheism and agno …
There are no upcoming Meetups.
Welcome fellow atheists and friends. This group is opened to atheists/agnostics and on the fence friends who want to meet and talk with other like minded people.

Washable Short Sleeve Silk-Cotton Tee
These are not holding the color like the older ons were.
December 2, 2013
Was reccomended to purchase one size smaller than usually wear by Travel Smithas this product runs large. Right on!
September 10, 2013
very good, but expensive
I have several of these T's. They are lightweight, comfortable, durable, and dry quickly which is good if you're washing your clothes in the hotel sink.
But, my goodness, they've gotten expensive. The most recent ones I bought were marked down to $39 each.
August 9, 2013
washes up great
I'm not excited about the red color. The picture was a prettier red. Wish I'd chosen a different color.
August 8, 2013
Bought for travel, have not worn them yet. They look and feel very nice. Plan to wear under sport coat.
August 7, 2013
Silk-Cotton Tee
These shirts are great: they are light-weight and have en elegant silky finish, which is durable after repeated machine washing and drying. They are perfect worn alone or under a jacket.
Very comfortable in hot weather. We have gotten them in a variety of colors and they are a wardrobe mainstay. Since we live on a boat, it's important to have multipurpose clothing which doesn't wrinkle and doesn't take up much space.
These fit the bill on land or at sea.
July 4, 2013
I love this tee... and so does my wife
These silk-cotton tees feel great to the touch and are very well made. I have worn these as undershirts for several years now. I wore through my first set and am on my second set now. They are cool and comfortable and even when the temperature and humidity run high, this tee holds its own.
This tee is a little pricey, but you get your money's worth in the long run because it lasts and lasts. Only the collar gets worn (from contact with my whiskers). You'll still wear them once the collar frays, however, just not out in public. For example, I now use my older tees as pajama tops for late spring and summer.
On that note, my wife decided to try out one of my retired silk-cotton tees as a sleep shirt for herself. As an XL it is just the right length (mid-thigh) for her woman's medium frame and it is now one of her favorite year-round sleep shirts.

A moment or mourning when left in a hotel room
My husband loved this shirt. He wore it hard, with everything from suits, to hiking, to even nightshirt. After three years he left it in a hotel room. He was distraught when he discovered he had lost his reliable shirt that he so loved. I was delighted to find that I can replace the shirt in the same color for him. It washes in the hotel sink nicely, dries quickly without wrinkles, packs small and even after three years had minimal pills. Neither of us could recommend this shirt more highly.

It takes less than an hour on the new high-speed train line to travel the 150 kilometres (93 miles) southeast from Beijing to Tanggu, the dirty coastal port town of nearby Tianjin – the world's fifth biggest port. Here, you can see signs of the past and present: fine colonial architecture built by European settlers a century ago nestle among the gleaming modern high-rises. But for a glimpse of the future, I am driving a few minutes up the coast from Tanggu to see a city so new that most of it is still being built.
Few things can be certain about the future, as philosophers wiser than I have pointed out, but one trend that is likely to continue is urbanisation. The Anthropocene will be populated by city dwellers, in contrast to the rural demography of the past millennia, and this has profound implications for human society.
Nowhere will this be felt more keenly than in China, home to more than 1.3 billion people. Urbanisation has been one of the most important factors in China's phenomenal economic growth and rapid industrialisation over the past three decades, providing essential labour and new consumers. More than half the population now lives in cities, which at 690 million is double the entire US population. In 1980, less than 20% of the Chinese population lived in cities. By 2030, this number is predicted to rise to 75%.
This rapid rise in urbanisation brings with it tremendous challenges – people need housing, infrastructure, water, food and jobs, as well as rising pollution and social inequality issues. In a typically top-down style, the Chinese government is tackling all of these at once: the biggest polluters have been moved out of the biggest cities (inland into rural areas or other cities), slum populations (here, called "urban villages") have dropped from 37% to 28% since 2000, and China is in the midst of a building frenzy.
Visit any city in the country – there are over 650 of them – and you will soon be negotiating a route around a noisy, dusty construction site, beneath towering cranes. Much of this construction is taking place in existing cities, converting low-rise to high-rise to pack more people into the unlimited vertical space. But in the place that I am visiting, planners have started from scratch.
Building a blueprint
China, like several other countries, is exploring the creation of sustainable urban areas, or "ecocities" as they are known. Around the world, ecocities are beginning to emerge from the drawing board, from Masdar City in Abu Dhabi to PlanIT Valley in Portugal. Aimed at being the world's largest of its type, Tianjin Eco-city is a collaborative project between the Chinese and Singaporean government that will house 350,000 people in a low-carbon, green environment around half the size of Manhattan by 2020. All going well, the team hope its model for building a sustainable city will provide the blueprint for future urbanization efforts in China, and other countries.
As I approach the city under an ever-present pall of filthy air, across a wasteland of contaminated soil and water, I have my reservations about the Eco-city's success. The site chosen for the project was an industrial dumping ground for toxic waste, barren salt flats abutting one of the world's most polluted seas. This was deliberate, says Ho Tong Yen, head of Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city Development and Investment, the firm charged with building the city. "In the past, so-called ecocities have been built in ecologically important areas or on useful arable land. We wanted to show that it's possible to clean up a polluted area and make it useful and liveable."
The clean-up took the best part of three years, and included the development of a newly patented technology that removes the heavy metals from a central reservoir – soon to be a boating lake. This hard graft looks like it has paid off. I enter the part-complete city down an avenue lined with fragrant trees and solar-energy panels. Among the newly planted saplings I spot five wind turbines and solar-powered street lighting. One-fifth of the energy used here will be emission-free – from solar, wind and, as I discover on a visit to the almost finished international school, from ground-source heat pumps, which use the temperature difference in the ground for energy.

The horrifying images on Israel's Channel 10 were probably the most graphic I had ever seen on television. A suicide bomber, a Muslim religious teacher from Hebron -- himself the father of young children, had blown up a Jerusalem bus filled with ultra-Orthodox men, women and children on their way home from worship at the Western Wall. Twenty-one innocent people were murdered, scores were wounded and maimed, many of them -- so many of them -- children. The following morning, the mass-circulation Yediot newspaper ran front-page photos of some of the victims, a heart-breaking picture of a 5-month-old baby girl in intensive care and the opening paragraphs of four Op-Ed pieces, including one by Israel's most famous author, Amos Oz.
