May 28, 2016 -- Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal -- At the recent Socialist Alliance's Socialism in the 21st Century Conference held in Sydney in May 2016, Marta Harnecker, a Chilean psychologist, writer, journalist and a prominent investigator and commentator on experiences of social transformation in Latin America, presented this paper on: People's power and political instruments.
Scotland: Colin Fox on the RISE left alliance's launch and platform
Click for more on left politics in Scotland
August 25, 2015 -- STV News, posted at Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal -- On August 29 in Glasgow we will see the birth of a Rise, a new left wing anti-austerity movement designed to shake up Scotland's political establishment and win seats at next year's Holyrood elections.
Born out of the referendum campaign using an umbrella model based on SYRIZA in Greece, the alliance brings together activists from different left-wing strands on a platform spelled out by its name: Respect, Independence, Socialism, Enviromentalism.
The group's website carries a statement of intent, which reads: "There is a need for something truly new and original to be born out of the independence movement that can manifest itself at the ballot box in 2016 and beyond. We do not presume to have all of the answers, but we intend to start a conversation around certain core principles that must be represented in politics once more.

Turkey wages war on Kurds under 'cover' of fighting ISIS
For more on the struggle of the Kurdish people
July 29, 2015 -- Democracy Now!, posted at Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal
This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
AMY GOODMAN: Turkish jets have reportedly launched their heaviest assault on Kurdish militants in northern Iraq since airstrikes began last week, effectively ending a two-year truce. Over the past week, the Turkish military has launched combat operations on two fronts: one against the self-proclaimed Islamic State in Syria (also called Daesh and ISIS or ISIL), another against Kurds inside Turkey and in northern Iraq, where Kurdish groups have been fighting against the Islamic State. This means Turkey is now essentially bombing both sides of the same war.
United States/Cuba: Cuban embassy opens in Washington
Democracy Now! July 20, 2015 -- Report from the opening of Cuba's new embassy. Transcript available HERE.
By Robert Craven and Olivia Marple
July 20, 2015 -- COHA, posted at Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal -- Amid cheers of "Cuba sí, bloqueo no" (Cuba yes, embargo no), hundreds gathered on Washington, DC's busy 16th Street to bear witness to the symbolic close to one of the more misguided chapters of US foreign policy. Trumpeting fanfare sounded as Cuban honour guard soldiers raised their country's flag above what is now Cuba's embassy in the United States.
Cuba's foreign minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla presided over the flag raising and was accompanied by a large US delegation led by assistant secretary of state Roberta Jacobson.[1]
"It's a new beginning, it's a new opportunity for the people of Cuba," said Karla Ramos, one of the spectators, in an interview with COHA, mirroring the sentiments of many others there to celebrate this momentous occasion 54 years in the making.

Greece: Astonishing and resounding 'Oxi' (No) to EU austerity
Democracy Now! on July 6, 2015, reports on the Greek rejection of austerity.
By Colin Fox
July 5, 2015 -- Colin Fox, posted at Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal -- So much for it being a close vote! The Greek people today delivered a resounding blow to the European Central Bank's plan to implement further hardship and austerity on the Greek people.
More than 61.3% of Greeks voted "No" (38.69% voted Yes). This represents a huge success for Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and an extraordinary vindication of the SYRIZA government and its record since January 25th. Despite falling living standards and increased hardship, epitomised by the enforced "bank holiday" this week which restricted customers to €60 per day, the Greek people have again resoundingly backed their radical left-wing government.

Spartacus: rebel or 'proto-communist'?
The slave revolt led by Spartacus shook the Roman world to its foundations and, although a failure, has inspired the oppressed for centuries. Communist historian Doug Enaa Greene delivered a talk at the Center for Marxist Education on Spartacus on March 7, 2015.

By Doug Enaa Greene
May 15, 2015 – Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal -- The ancient rebellion of Spartacus and tens of thousands of subjugated slaves is arguably the most famous slave revolt in history. During his lifetime, Spartacus dared to challenge the dominance of the Roman slave masters and their Republic. In subsequent generations, the name of Spartacus has stood forth as a symbol for resistance and liberation from oppression – inspiring the Haitian slave Toussaint L'Ouverture, who led a successful revolt in the 1790s; Karl Marx; and Germany's Spartacist League of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht.

I would get a few for myself, but I already have 6 PB SF units, and I think any more would be overkill (I use 4 at a time in the winter swapped between 3 bikes).
Based on some reviews I found on the Smart unit, the flashing pattern is NOT like PB SF. (A bright burst from the big LED followed by a few blinks from the smaller LED's below the Blaze unit). The Smart unit sounds like it moved to a standard blinky pattern to meet UK guidelines (straigt on-off-on pattern with regular intervals).
However, for $6.16 shipped each, I don't think you are going to find a better deal.
Deal will last until next Tuesday or until they run out.

I'm on an annual training plan, and it always includes long weekend rides....Today's ride was supposed to be 3.5 hours and I felt like that would be somewhere around 45 - 50 miles. So I started out this afternoon, a little tired but otherwise ok with no soreness etc....I started out with 2 Cliff Bars, 2 Hammer Gels, 1 bottle of Accelerade and one water.
I started eating a little before the 1st hour was up and drinking the accelerade . Before long I began to feel pretty good....Weather was overcast and low 60's after a morning of thunderstorms, so the wind got up pretty bad at times, but otherwise it was just really nice riding weather. So, About 30 miles into the ride, I decided I would just stretch it out and today would be the day I tried to make it 100k.
One store stop for more water, and I cruised on in....Averaged 85 rpms and 13.6 mph over the 64 miles ridden.....It feels great and I'm really estatic because November 4, 2007 was my first ever ride (at 50 yrs old)....Got on the training plan Feb. 1, 2008 and now I've made it through a Metric......Training for a MS Century later in the year, so I know now that I will be ready for that one too.......Forgive me ..... I just had to shout about it.

Seismic refraction remains the most utilitarian investigative technique used in the GGB, primarily due to its widespread, cost-effective applicability to transportation projects, and in advances in instrumentation and processing techniques that allow .
Seismic refraction utilizes arrays of low-frequency transducers (geophones) in conjunction with timer-recorders (seismographs) to measure the travel of sound waves in the earth. These seismic waves are generated via impact sources, such as sledge hammers, shotgun shells or small explosive charges.
The method is well-suited to delineation of bedrock surfaces and water table. Empirical estimates of ripping ability and earthwork factors may also be obtained from seismic velocities of soil and rock layers.
Many techniques are available to interpret refraction data. Standard seismic refraction data interpretation at Caltrans uses a layered approach, known as the Generalized Reciprocal Method of seismic refraction interpretation (GRM).
The GRM provides a significant improvement over simpler layer-cake interpretation models, with the advantage that refractor depths are calculated across the entire profile, instead of just at the shot points. This provides a more robust model that better represents undulating refractor surfaces and structures with steeper dips. Another advantage over simpler models is that the GRM can accommodate lateral variations in layer velocity, enabling recognition of structural or facies changes within a designated layer.
In the example at right, a profile across a debris flow shows excellent agreement with bedrock depths observed in test holes (labeled B-2 through B-14). Geologic interpretation from boreholes is shown as a dashed line, the refraction interpretation is the series of superimposed arcs (denoting the range of uncertainty in the interpretation). The discrepancy at B-12 and B-3 is due to highly-weathered (saprolitic) rock at that location. The GRM model accurately identifies the better quality rock at depth.
Where geology is complex, the GRM can yield false results. This occurs because the GRM assumes continuity of refractor surfaces across a profile. Where this assumption is not valid, refraction inversion (RI) modeling may provide a better result.
Caltrans uses a linear-optimized, quasi-tomographic inversion algorithm (SeisOpt) to determine velocities of individual 2-D blocks (pixels) within a profile. Surface and borehole arrays can be employed. Since layered strata are not required, more complex geologic problems may be imaged using this method.
In this example, acquired down an earthflow, recent movement can be clearly distinguished from an older event. A high-velocity, embedded graywacke block is evident at the right side of the profile. This feature could not be discerned using layered, refraction interpretation techniques.

Its trichomoniasisan infection caused by a parasite called Trichomonas vaginalisand more than 1 in 10 women in their 40s and 50s has it (compared with 8 out of every 100 women in their 20s), according to new Johns Hopkins University research. If left untreated, trichomoniasis can lead to inflammation of the vagina, urethra, and cervix, potentially leading to pelvic inflammatory disease, fertility problems, and low birth-weight babies.
Luckily, "trich" is easily cured with a round of antibioticsonce its detected. The real difficulty is diagnosing it in the first place:Its possible to contract trich without realizing it, since between one-third and one-half of cases have no symptoms. And even when there are signs, they can be confusingly similar to what youd get with a yeast infection (think burning and itching). That means the disease may go undetected or misdiagnosed.
Past 40 and positive
So why are women in their 40s and 50s so vulnerable? Researchers have a few theories: "Its possible that women are getting infected when theyre younger, but because doctors dont regularly test for it, theyre never properly treated," says Charlotte A. Gaydos, professor of infectious diseases in the Department of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University and senior investigator in the Hopkins study. "The older you are, the more sex youve had, and the more time youve had to be exposed"meaning you could have the disease even if youve long been married and monogamous. Another explanation: "Postmenopausal women may use less protection because theyre no longer worried about getting pregnant," says Paula Castaño, MD, assistant clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at New York–Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center. (In fact, a 2010 report in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that women in their 40s use condomsthe only birth-control method that protects against STDsjust 20% of the time with casual partners.)
What's That Itch Down There?
Different gyno problems can have symptoms so similar that even doctors may have a hard time figuring out whats going on. Heres a quick primer. Read more
The good news: Thats a mistake MDs shouldnt make anymore. Last April, a new, much-more accurate test came out that detects more than 95% of cases, Gaydos says. "Im hoping the test"which can be run on urine samples, Pap smears, or cervical swabs"will mean that more doctors will regularly start to look for trich."

NEW DELHI: The budget is likely to keep developmental spending in the upcoming year at the current year's level, an official has hinted, indicating that the pressure to deliver a strong fiscal consolidation message may rein in allocations.
The government sets aside funds for its various development schemes as plan expenditure, most of which finances the central plan while some of it is used to support states' plan. The allocation to the central plan is referred to as gross budgetary support.

Check out this photo (its #5 of 27) from the Midwest Regional CC meet yesterday. ISU was 3rd as a team and will go to NCAA's. Iowa just cheats, look on the left side and see where the lines are.

From that angle its hard to tell because the line curves around the bend there and it's in the shade so I'm not so sure that he might not just barely be inside the line where he's running at.
Go Cubs Go!
Looks like the line curves and he's on the correct side of it, but that's just me.

So...as you can tell...most everyone ignored this thread. And...of those 4 responses I noted...1 noted the runner didn't cheat, another noted the same and questioned the point of the post, another questioned the point of the post and the final one I don't understand.
So...there's your show. Have fun. :)
Nothing on tv, so I get on the message board and this is what I see??? Wow... I can't help but feel just a tad more stupid for opening this post up.
Obsessed MUCH??? It's CC... People there is a world outside of these buildings we are in. I suggest some people might need to get acquainted with it.

Hello, new to Bike Forums and first post; so a bit about me and such. John, from East TN. about to hit the hillcrest on the age meter. Son has moved off to follow his field of study. The wife and I are about to restart riding again for fun and fitness. Has been quite a while for us both, although she did a short stint with my son some time ago when he was learning to ride. At that time she was on a woman's Mongoose trail bike from a dept. store. Aluminum, and not bad for the time, or price. Waaay back when, we used to cruise about on a pair of matching, black Puch 10 spd. roadbikes...we miss those days. Now we are in the market for a pair of sorta higher end hybrids and plan to do the greenways and work toward some group outings.
You may have guessed from the user name that my other interests are Mopars and guitars. Guitar users seem to appear on every bike user forum I've lurked on so far. Hope I have more success with spokes than I do strings. Do I play guitar? Let's just say that anyone unfortunate enough to have experienced my renditions would say that I PLAY WITH GUITARS. I look forward to discussions and information sharing with all members here.

Editor's note: Mitchel Veenstra, a University of Alaska Anchorage journalism student, wrote this article.
This year's eighth annual Winter Trails Day was an amazing day for families. While the day started slow and temperatures hovered at 14 degrees below zero, the sun quickly warmed things up. Without a cloud in the sky, it was hard to resist the allure of heading to the BLM Campbell Creek Science Center to check out all of the fun Winter Trails Day activities.
More than 800 people "moved outside," a theme borrowed from the Department of the Interior's initiative to get youth and families outdoors and exercising through the winter months.
This year also offered geocaching. To geocache, participants received a GPS unit and list of coordinates, and then used their GPS unit to find the spot. Michelle Reber brought her children to Winter Trails Day specifically to learn about geocaching. She said, "We got to learn how to find different waypoints, [and] it was exciting!"
Maria Shawback attended with her three children. "It's great to be outside with all these activities!" she exclaimed.
Not all Winter Trails Day activities took place outside of the Science Center. Visitors could wander around indoors and view informational exhibits that highlighted different recreational clubs throughout Southcentral Alaska and offered winter safety and outdoor tips.
Be sure to mark your calendars with a reminder to attend the next Winter Trails Day in February 2012.

The precautionary boil water advisory issued to residents from Lake Cole Street to the railroad side of Belleau Woods Subdivision to include White Oak Lane has been lifted, according to ONWASA officials.
Laboratory testing confirmed the water system is safe and ready to return to normal operations.
The advisory was due to ONWASA crews installing valves to the waterline in that area.

text: If you're a snow lover...late Sunday and Monday could be your last chance to enjoy snow this season in eastern Carolina. If you hate snow...you're saying good riddance..bring on spring. Speaking of spring....after this storm system lifts out early week...we'll see a dramatic warm up again by the end of next week. And one has to ponder could we finally be pulling out of winter. Of course.... as is typical March we'll have warm ups...we'll see the temperatures crash again too. But keep in mind Sunday is the first day of March with average highs near 60 degrees....so chances of snow dwindle considerable. But back to this snow chance late Sunday into Monday. The latest models look to quicken the pace of the storm tomorrow....and increase the rain during Sunday...with a change over to sleet then snow. As of Saturday evening...the weather service in Raleigh is thinking snow for them early evening Sunday...then spreading eastward. The million dollar question is does the cold air chase the moisture...or will the snow get enhanced with the colder air. We'll see. Right now looks like up to an inch of snow with two in a few spots north and west of Greenville...and west of highway 17. The coastal areas shouldn't see too much.

Time extensions are added in 5 minute intervals to the original auction closing time and to each extention's closing time when a bid is placed. For example: if an item is scheduled to close at 10:00am, and a bid is placed between 9:55am to 10:00am, the closing time will be extended by 5 minutes until 10:05am. If a bid is placed within that 5 minute interval, then bidding the closing time will extend until 10:10am, etc… Once a 5 minute extension interval has passed without any bids, the auction for the item will close, and the lot will show as COMPLETED in red letters. This means that bids are no longer accepted, and the username showing is the winning bidder. To make sure you see all other bids placed, click the "Refresh" button on your web browser frequently before that item closes and during any extension periods. Your screen may not "auto-refresh," and you may not see bids placed after yours if you don't manually refresh.

The closing performance at BlizzCon 2011 by Level 90 Epic Tauren Chieftain has drawn strong criticism from gay and lesbian advocacy group GLAAD. The performance featured an opening video from guest singer George 'Corpseater' Fisher of the metal band Cannibal Corpse. In the video he talks about how much he hates Alliance using strong anti-gay language that we can't repeat here. While most of the foul language was censored in the video, those who saw it knew exactly what he was saying. To say gay and lesbian members of the WOW community are not happy about it would be an understatement.
The band, Level 90 Elite Tauren Chieftain, issued the following statement as conveyed by Blizzard (who did not make comment officially as a company):
Thank you everyone for your feedback regarding the closing night performance at BlizzCon. While we had some other messaging worked up we were going to post, the members of band wanted to instead address it themselves:
Hey guys, we read and heard all the feedback from BlizzCon this year. The Corpsegrinder bit was never intended to be taken seriously. We are sorry that we offended anyone; everything at our shows is just meant in fun. Thank you all for speaking up. We'll definitely keep this in mind for future shows.
Our humblest apologies,
Level 90 Elite Tauren Chieftain
Thanks to Blue's News and GayGamer.

Chinese Medicine Business – Herbal Pharmacy
Do you have an herbal pharmacy at your place of practice? Do you believe that having one in one's own practice is important?
Z'ev Rosenberg
I have an herbal pharmacy with granules and liquid extracts at present, or send patients out or drop ship if raw is required. I used to have a raw pharmacy years ago, but I had to hire someone full time to run it, and lost a lot of money on it.
David Berkshire
We do have this, however I think in larger cities such as Portland it is not necessary as others will take care of the expense and the labor for you.
Seamus Kennedy
Yes, I have one, it is still under development. I do not know that it is important, particularly if you live in a town with a pharmacy you can send patients to. I wanted a pharmacy for the potential income, having my hands in the herbs (we are the only show in 5 counties), being able to send a patient off with herbs in hand, and for the wicked cool factor! Plus, we carry naturopathic products by Standard Process, Integrative Therapeutics and homeopathic remedies.
Monica Rudestam
I have an herbal pharmacy consisting of bulk herbs and homemade tinctures at my studio space in Aurora. In Portland I use my colleaugue's medicinary which consists of granules and supplements. I do not think that it is necessary to have your own pharmacy. If you work in Portland there are plenty of awesome quality medicinaries that will fill your formulas- but it is convenient to have a formula made and ready to give your client when they walk out the door.
Emaline Gray
Yes. We have gone mainly with granules, and largely carry Legendary Herbs (single herbs) and Heiner Fruehauf's Classical Pearls. Of course people should practice in the way they best shine. If one has not been trained as a herbalist certainly don't carry herbs. There are enough people out there herb guessing. But if you have herbal knowledge, I think it is incredibly important to have a medicinary. Joe and I are mainly acupuncturist's (under Dr. Edward Neal), but there are some things I just can't touch without herbs, and herbs have a completely different direction and gesture than acupuncture. To be full Chinese Medicine physician you have to have herbs.
Eric Grey
We have a full medicinary with bulk (mostly Spring Wind) and granules (mostly Legendary Herbs and Classical Pearls). Some of our practitioners use the Green Tea Apothecary decoction service sometimes. Some of our practitioners use Classical Pearls encapsulated formulas, and we mostly go through Golden Cabinet Herbs for that. I love the medicinary and would spend all of my time there, if I could. We don't have any plans to expand or significantly change it. We're just always looking to lower our costs, and thus, our prices – that's an ongoing battle!
I think it is important in some situations, and not in others. If you're one of relatively few practitioners in your area, it can be a critical part of your practice. If there are a ton of medicinaries around, and you're not a person who needs to have your hands on the herbs every day, then I think outsourcing makes a lot of sense.
Ann Krueger
We do. In Portland there are several herbal pharmacies available, so I don't think you need to have one at your practice in order to use herbs, prescribe herbs, and have your patients pick them up within a reasonable time/distance. But I love having access to the herbs at our clinic. I think it allows for easier further scholarship. If I'm thinking about an herb, I can generally walk in the back and look at it, smell it, make tea from it. I can get formulas to patients incredibly quickly, which is important in acute situations. I can also change and re-prescribe and re-fill very quickly, in case I want to make a change. It's a real luxury to be able to do that, and I don't take it for granted! It's one of the selling points for our clinic, I think.

Index of Memorial Resolutions and Biographical Sketches
Dr. Carey Thompson, Professor Emeritus
of Economics, died on July 10, 1998, at the age of ninety. He is survived
by his wife, Louise Paxton Thompson, their daughter Helen Louise, and
her husband, Charles Lohrmann.
Although we know Carey as a person of
great ability, a devoted teacher, and an adept chairman of the economics
department, we remember him best as a man of exceptional character, a
person to be trusted who was always honest in his dealings with colleagues
and strangers. His long professional life was one of lasting contributions
to the University of Texas, to the people of his native state of Texas,
and to the nation not only as a teacher, scholar, and administrator,
but also as a volunteer in public service who used considerable energy
in advising state legislators and governors of Texas. What follows provides
a sample of these contributions, though only a suggestion of his broad
and lasting influence.
"The group looked to him and it looked up to him. One reason was that everyone understood his total integrity. A second reason was his, call it, devotion.É In a meeting of peers Carey would sit silent for a long while, never thrusting himself forward, but merely quietly observing. At some of those meetings he would rise to speak, always with total confidence. Everyone gave rapt attentionÐ he conveyed sincerity, perspicacity and authority. Usually the group quickly decided. Despite his power, Carey practiced it modestly and unselfishly."
But, it was not party affairs or leadership
of the Department of Economics that Carey would have ranked highest as
his accomplishments. He was very proud of the role he played in advancing
the causes of blacks and other minorities at the University. In 1957,
for example, Barbara Smith, a young black student of obvious operatic
talent, was cast in the leading role opposite a white male in a University
production of Dido and Aeneas. The president of the University, under
considerable political pressure, used his influence to have her removed
from this role. As a former member of the Faculty Council, Carey stood
before the group to praise the "vigor of the reaction" by a substantial
number of students on behalf of Ms. Smith while attacking the administrative
action of the University as unjust and unwise. Of course, it is well known
that Barbara Smith Conrad became a famous opera singer and was recognized
eventually by the University as a Distinguished Alumnus. He was also proud
of the role he played in extending Social Security coverage to UT faculty
members. Public finance was his primary interest as an academician and
Social Security advocacy at a time when it was not yet universal was one
way of bringing his academic thinking to the real world. Finally, colleagues
remember that he stood up for principle as chairman of the economics department
in the 1960s when a powerful chairman of the Board of Regents attempted
to dictate the position that the University should take on some controversial
political issues.

I was on Cyanogenmod 10.2 for a long time, but yesterday I choose to upgrade to CM 11. I did a backup in case thing went wrong and did the update. And it did.
After update I've started my phone and I had no service/reception. So I went to restore my backup. I did this a few times so I was pretty safe about it. When I've tried to restore my backup, didn't work. The restore file didn't do anything but it clear the access to CM 11.
After that started a lot of research on the web for solutions.
I already tried to flash the firmware to stock, using the firmware from Sammobile. Now I get the no IMEI error.
I can't find any EFS folder or backup folder. I can only find the EFS folder but it's empty. I've used the Root Explorer to try and find this folder, but can't find it.
I already read some topics about the same problem but I can't find any solution that work for me.
Can you please help me?

Now in addition to iOS, you can write Android apps using C#. Thanks to the Mono Project, C# now has almost as much platform support as HTML.
You don't even need to know C#, Java or any programming language to make your own Android Apps. Google has humanized general purpose software development for mobile devices .
@Setag_Yrneh: I wouldn't go as far as to say app inventor humanizes anything, much less development. Does it provide some amount of amusement? Sure. Can visual languages compete with other domain specific languages? Certainly. Should visual languages be used for general application development? I'm not convinced.
In order to create a visual language expressive enough to do most things, you have to make it rather unwieldy. With text based languages, you can hide a lot of the constructs by not using them. This is much more challenging to do visually.
@Bass: This is really promising. They even c-shapified the android namespaces! Google really did a poor job organizing their libraries, there is crap everywhere. It's like the result of some sort of coffee enema.
@JoshRoss: That's a disturbing image.
@JoshRoss:It's like the result of some sort of coffee enema.
Are comments like these really necessary? Do they really add anything?
You don't like the organization of the packages. We get it. You don't need to liken it to Googlers getting hot coffee blasted up their @sses. It's disrespectful. If you've ever talked to them you'd know that they're very nice people and excellent coders.
@Setag_Yrneh: Why so tense? Try Sanka Brand Decaffeinated Enema and relax
@Setag_Yrneh: Coffee enemas have been around for years.
Don't see what's to get offended about. For all we know, it could be the secret behind Google's success.
As the last chap said, calm yourself. Head to the kitchen and brew yourself a large one ...
... to drink, obviously.
But, whatever...

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Sunday condoled the death of veteran filmmaker Yash Chopra, terming him an icon of Indian cinema who entertained many generations with his rare creativity.
"He had an aesthetic talent to make his films look larger than life. His flourish in essaying romance and social drama was unmatched," he said in his tribute to Chopra.
According to Manmohan Singh, Chopra established the popularity of Indian cinema internationally and was honoured by many governments.
"He will be remembered by millions of his fans around the world and his work as a director and producer will be treasured by the nation for many more generations," said the prime minister in his condolence message to Chopra's family and the film fraternity. – IANS

Here's your third question (in a series of five).
You have just moved house and even though the removalists unpacked and arranged all your furniture, cushions and decorative objects in the living room, it's not organised quite how you would like. What would you do?
(a) Move the furniture around the room again as soon as the removalists leave so that the room feels more organised and comfortable.
(b) Leave the furniture where it is, and think about possibly moving it later.
(c) Just leave it as it is and it wouldn't bother you at all.
This question illustrates your natural gift of arranging objects.
When you choose to arrange your furniture around your home you are using your natural gift of arranging objects. So how does this relate to drawing?
Often when an artist creates an artwork they compose it, so that it 'feels' right. By composing we mean that the elements within the artwork are arranged to create a pleasing effect or evoke a certain mood.
Just the same as arranging your furniture so that the room feels right an artist knows when a drawing looks too cluttered or doesn't work, and so adjusts the placement of the elements until it feels pleasing to the eye.
If you answered (a) to the above question you are probably already in the habit of using your natural gift of arranging objects quite often in your everyday life. If you answered (b) or (c) take a fresh look at your room and see if you can improve how it feels by re-arranging the furniture, or maybe try arranging food on your plate to make it more pleasing to the eye before you eat it.
You'll soon see that you do have this natural gift and you just need to be conscious of it, then do specific exercises that relate it back to the skill of drawing.

Docket: IMM-1616-03
Citation: 2004 FC 358
Ottawa, Ontario, this 10th day of March 2004
Present: THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE O'REILLY
[1] Mr. Zsolt Harsanyi came to Canada from Hungary in April 2000. He claimed refugee status on the basis of the mistreatment he received in Hungary as a gay male. He recounted numerous incidents of threats and violence.
[2] A panel of the Immigration and Refugee Board dismissed Mr. Harsanyi's claim because it was not satisfied that the treatment of homosexuals in Hungary amounted to persecution, as opposed to simple discrimination. Mr. Harsanyi argues that the Board made serious errors in its analysis of the circumstances of gays in Hungary. He asks me to order a new hearing.
[3] I find that the Board erred in its treatment of the evidence and will allow this application for judicial review.
I. Issue
Did the Board err in its handling of the evidence regarding the treatment of gays in Hungary?
[4] The Board reviewed a considerable amount of evidence of the overall circumstances of gays and lesbians in Hungary. It noted that gay marriages have been legal since 1996, common law same-sex couples are entitled to social and pension benefits, and advocacy groups operate freely and effectively. Gay and lesbian events and festivals seem to be thriving.
[5] On the other hand, the Board noted some instances of differential treatment of gays and lesbians in the areas of employment, adoption laws and the age of consent to sexual activity. As mentioned, it found these differences to amount to discrimination, not persecution.
[6] As for violence against gays, the Board noted that the principal human rights reports on Hungary make no mention of this problem. It felt that "if violence against gays was a significant problem, it would be included in these reports". It concluded that "violence against gays is not a significant or widespread problem in Hungary". Accordingly, it found that Mr. Harsanyi's experiences were isolated events and that there was no objective basis on which he should fear persecution.
[7] The respondent argues that the Board considered a full range of the relevant documentary evidence, including a report from the Hatter Society for Gays and Lesbians in Hungary and the Labrisz Lesbian Association. This report, referred to as the "Hatter Report", stated that there was a "disturbingly high incidence" of homophobic hate crimes in Hungary. Further, it noted that the police themselves were involved in homophobic harassment of persons believed to be gay. Still, after citing this Report, the Board went on to conclude that violence against gays was not prevalent. The respondent submits that the Board's conclusion was open to it on the evidence and that there is no basis for disturbing its decision.
[8] However, Mr. Harsanyi points out that the Board overlooked persuasive evidence that homophobic violence is a serious problem in Hungary. For example, one study stated that 12% of gay men reported incidents of violent assaults. The Hatter Report itself outlined numerous incidents of gay-bashing. There was no evidence contradicting these reports, only silence in some general surveys of human rights in Hungary. The Board gave no indication why it did not find the documentary evidence favouring Mr. Harsanyi's claim reliable.
[9] In my view, the Board had an obligation at least to refer to the documentary evidence that supported the foundation of Mr. Harsanyi's claim and explain why it discounted it. As Evans J. explained in Cepeda-Gutierrez v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), [1998] F.C.J. No. 1425, "the more important the documentary evidence that is not mentioned specifically and analyzed in the agency's reasons, the more willing a court may be to infer from the silence that the agency made an erroneous finding of fact 'without regard to the evidence'". (Citing Bains v. Canada (Minister of Employment and Immigration) (1993), 63 F.T.R. 312 (F.C.T.D.). The documentary evidence tendered by Mr. Harsanyi reinforced the essence of his claim and merited some consideration by the Board.
[10] Having found that there was no basis for Mr. Harsanyi's fear of persecution, the Board did not deal directly with the issue whether there was state protection available in Hungary for persons who are victims of homophobic violence. One may infer, however, since the Board characterized Hungary as a fairly tolerant country, that it believed that state protection would likely be forthcoming.
[11] However, given my conclusion that another panel must review the documentary evidence, I do not need to say anything more about the issue of state protection. It will be for the new panel to address this issue and analyze the relevant evidence.
II. Disposition
[12] A full hearing is not required as the issues requiring redetermination can be addressed by reviewing the existing evidence. Accordingly, I will order that the issues of Mr. Harsanyi's fear of harm and the availability of state protection be redetermined by a different panel of the Board, based on the existing record.
THIS COURT'S JUDGMENT IS that:
1. The application for judicial review is allowed. The issues of Mr. Harsanyi's fear of harm and the availability of state protection are returned for redetermination before a different panel of the Immigration and Refugee Board, based on the existing record.
2. No question of general importance is stated.

"I think your job as an entertainer and a singer and a songwriter is to do whatever you think you need to do to get in front of as many people and impress as many people as you can," he says. In the past Luke has hosted a couple of red carpet events for The Ellen DeGeneres Show and he co-hosted the CMA Music Festival: Country's Night to Rock on ABC last summer and he says, "I'm up for whatever. You know, as long as I'm comfortable in the environment I'm up for anything. I think it was fun. So my thing is just have fun with all of this and not sweat it too much and try to make people have a good time watching whatever I'm a part of."

The CEO of ElectriCities, who was interviewed in our stories last week about customers complaining about high utility bills, is blogging about our reports.
Graham Edwards writes, "There's no question that many people across eastern North Carolina are frustrated with the high cost of electricity. That frustration was evident in a story that aired last night on WITN, an NBC station that covers the Washington, Greenville and New Bern markets."
Those high bills are largely associated with the 2.4 billion dollar debt the NC Eastern Municipal Power Agency, managed by Electricities, continues to pay for buying into nuclear facilities decades ago.
Edwards goes on to says, "NCEMPA" has reduced the debt by more than $1 billion since 1993, but the cities remain obligated to repay $2.4 billion over the next 15 years. Until that debt is paid, there's no silver bullet that can magically reduce electric rates - a point that even Gov. Perdue acknowledged at the end of yesterday's broadcast."
You can read more about what Edwards blogged about our reports by clicking in the link following this story.
Tuesday night at 6:00 we'll continue our reports about the high bills and what some in Raleigh want to do.

Tide Players Talk about Georgia Game
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The University of Alabama football team met with the media on Monday to preview the Crimson Tide's game at No. 3 Georgia this Saturday night in Athens. The game will be televised by ESPN with kickoff set for 6:45 p.m. (CDT). The following are comments from senior quarterback John Parker Wilson, junior running back Glen Coffee, junior left tackle Andre Smith, junior cornerback and return specialist Javier Arenas and senior free safety Rashad Johnson.
Senior quarterback John Parker Wilson:
On Georgia:"I think they are a good team, just like many other teams that we are going to play. They are obviously ranked high and we are just going to take it like another week. We aren't going to look at it like the biggest game on our schedule because it's just the next game we have."
On Alabama's passing game:"We ran 20 plays the first half. We didn't need to throw the ball. We weren't going to throw it when we were running the ball like we were. We averaged 10 yards a rush. There is no need to throw it."
On Kareem Jackson:"He's got great feet. He makes really good reads on the ball and uses his hands well. He doesn't leave a lot of space between him and the defender, if you are going to make a pass on him it's going to be a tight pass every time."
On Georgia game last year:"I think we hit a big play on the sideline to Keith (Brown). We were backed up to our end zone. We hit a big play and it just kind of got it going. I haven't really watched the film from last year that much; I'll get a chance to do that this week. Definitely some things stick out about what they did last year and that will be in the back of my mind this year."
Junior running back Glen Coffee:
On getting a long run:"It felt good. Just to be able to run down the field and have people chasing you is a good feeling. It's something I wanted to work on this season. I tried to improve in this area."
On feeling faster this season:"I don't necessarily feel faster. It's been a while since I broke one like that so it's been in the back of my head. It's just a mentality I guess; it's a different mentality than last year. It's an area that I needed to bring to the field. I know how fast I am but I felt like I wasn't playing it on the field. I just decided to try to make that happen."
On losing speed after his knee injury:"I had lost some speed after the knee and the sports hernia. I feel like I've gotten most of it back. Sometimes I feel like I can't bend my knees the way I want to but for the most part I got it back."
Junior left tackle Andre Smith:
On offensive line's ability to open up holes for running backs against Arkansas:"That's how it fell. Glen (Coffee), Mark Ingram, Roy Upchurch, Terry Grant, they all throughout the week did an outstanding job as far as preparation. They just really did their job to the best of their ability."
On being named SEC lineman of the week:"I think we played really well as an offensive unit, on both sides of the ball really. The defense did an outstanding job. Offensive line, we prepared the entire week. Coach Pendry stressed on our footwork and correct technique and it showed in the game."
On game against Georgia last year:"It was a hard loss but it was last year. This year is a new year. I'm really looking forward to the game this year. It was really physical. Last year we could have done some things different in terms of preparing better. We could have been more productive on offense than we were."
Junior corner back and return specialist Javier Arenas:
On Georgia's offense:"I know they like to make big plays. They are known for making big plays. That's what makes them the number three team in the country. They have great athletes at the running back position, quarterback position, wide receiver position. It is going to be a great match up."
Senior free safety Rashad Johnson:
On not getting an interception:"It's good to see those guys going out there and making plays. Anything that is helping us to win games, it's positive. As long as we are winning I'm good. When the opportunity comes, I'm definitely going to go up and try to make a play. When I do get it, it will be exciting but I've been there before. As long as we keep winning games, that's irrelevant. You want to catch interceptions and all that but if you aren't getting a chance to do it and you are winning games, then that's all that matters."
On staying focused on the field:"I'm just trying to do my job. If it's in the middle of the field or coming in the box, or if it's getting the corner lined up. I'm just trying to do my job and not focus on anything else. The opportunity is going to come; there is still a lot of ball left. We've only played four games. I'm pretty sure there will be many opportunities for interceptions and things like that. It's more important to focus on getting the win. If you get an interception and lose the game, it's useless."
On Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford:"He does a great job of reading defenses. Before he even snaps the ball, he knows what coverage you are in, and where he is going with the ball. It's definitely important for us to try and disguise what we are doing and try to show him a different look so we can try to get him off guard."

Name: Sylvain Marveaux
Squad number: 31
Nationality: French
Born: 15th April, 1986, Vannes, France
Height: 172cm
Weight: 69kg
Previous clubs: Rennes, Guingamp (loan)
Signed: June 2011 from Rennes
Newcastle United debut: 25th August, 2011 v Scunthorpe United (away), Carling Cup
Position: Midfielder
Sylvain Marveaux agreed a five-year deal with Newcastle United on 18th June, 2011, signing from Rennes for an undisclosed fee, with the deal officially completed on 1st July.
The winger travelled out to America on the Club's Stateside pre-season tour and played friendlies against Sporting Kansas City and Orlando City, before having another run-out on their return to Tyneside, against Fiorentina.
A slight knock ruled Marveaux out of action for a few weeks, however, but he finally made his Magpies debut on 25th August, 2011, away at Scunthorpe in the Carling Cup second round.
A key performer in United's cup games in the early part of the 2011/12 campaign, Marveaux was handed his Premier League debut for Newcastle as they beat Everton 2-1 at home on 5th November, 2011.
However, he suffered an groin injury in the second half of that fixture which forced him off and would require surgery. Marveaux travelled to the world-renowned Steadman Clinic, in Colarado, where his hip and groin were operated on by Dr Marc Phillipon.
After five months sidelined, the winger made his return to first team action on the final day of the 2011/12 campaign as a second half substitute away at Everton.
Marveaux spent the 2014/15 campaign on loan at French Ligue 1 outfit Guingamp.
Early Days
Born in Vannes, France, Marveaux played for two local sides at youth level - AS Menimur and Vannes OC. In 2001, at the age of 15, he signed a youth contract at Rennes to be part of their Academy.
After coming through the ranks at the Route de Lorient, he signed a professional contract in the summer of 2006 and was officially promoted to the senior team for the 2006/07 campaign.
Marveaux made his Rennes - and professional - debut on 5th August, 2006, in a league match against Lille, and scored his first goal just a couple of months later in a victory over Auxerre.
He made 118 appearances for the club over a five-season spell, scoring 20 goals in the process, before his move to Newcastle United.
International Career
Marveaux was a regular for France Under 21s, winning 11 caps and finding the back of the net four times. He is yet to make his senior bow for Les Bleus.

I just had the swell opportunity of taken two exams, back to back, on a Friday, 9 and 10 o'clocks. Makes me love the idea of the sound of a beer top cracking open.
Staying with the theme, what are some recollections or memories of having exams at the most inopportune time, and then the events (i.e. partying, etc.) that happened afterward?
~Go Cyclones!
~Only you can make it happen.
~Never give up!
As a freshman, I needed a break from studying so I went to a buddy's place to play a poker tourney. Long story short, I got drunk and walked from Sterling Apartments (now University Plains) to Maple/Willow/Larch. Funny thing happenned on my walk back though. I took 20-30 minutes to watch a 6'10'' person get arrested for marijuana possession on South Dakota Ave. Go figure it was Jackson Vroman. After 3 hours of sleep/passedoutedness, I got up and got the best C- of my life.
It was the Wednesday of finals week of my freshman year in the spring of 2005. I get done taking a surveying exam and physics 221 exam, back to back. I get back to my dorm at 3:00, open the fridge, and let the good times begin. Let's just say the night ended with myself and a bunch of others getting written up by the CA, aka mustache lady.
Remember the old adage, if you study while you are drunk, you should take the exam drunk. Helps the memory, they say.
Gettin wasted tonight NIowaClone?

I remember this well NIowaClone. If you don't know who this is I'll tell you in person later but I'm from the same town as your roommate from that year if that's any clue. I thought you escaped the CA somehow? Anyway I remember hearing the stories from that night the next morning. Good times.
This is a funny thread to be reading right now... just got back from Hy-Vee. Superfan and I were returning the 116 empty bottles of liquor I had on top of the cabinets in my kitchen.
I've had exams on my birthday the last several years, so of course that was bad timing that followed with partying.
I had an evening exam on Halloween this year, so I went to the exam in costume, then headed out to the bars (I was the headless horseman... took my pumpkin with me too!)
I don't recall ever drinking during an exam... but I did sit next to someone once who was taking pulls from a flask during the exam. Pretty sure that guy dropped out though... Oh and the same exam our prof had just come from Beer tasting at Cyclone Liquor and was a few minutes late... and buzzed
Oh we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State,
and may her colors ever fly!!!
In Accordance with Prophecy
I took a ComSci (C++) exam drunk. I cannot remember exactly but I think I brought alcohol with me too. I got a D- on the exam and a D+ for the course, the worst grade I have ever received. I promptly changed my major.

The starter Pokemon were a little strange to be honest, but pretty cool. I especially liked the grass Pokemon, it was adorable and did have the appearance of a great battler. However, the only one I'd have to say I'm a tad bit disappointed with is the water-type which closely resembles a frog. It looks sort of, ugly if that's the right word :<, I just don't like its build, colouring or anything much about it which is sort of disappointing to me.
Other than that I'd have to say they've done a fantastic job with the new starters <3, creative and they look like a valuable team member for sure :3.
pineapples are cool.

Spring Meditation: Blossoming
Wednesday, March 27, 2013
I feel really good today, so blessed and so fortunate to be exactly where I am.
I got up this morning, and did my strength training and then got back to the Deepak Chopra/Oprah Winfrey meditation series that I started but neglected while I was in Florida. I really like meditating every morning, it calms me and strengthens me for the day.
In each of the meditations, there is a mantra, and my favorite one so far is "Om Anahndam Namah" which means, "My actions are blissfully free from attachment to outcome." To me, this means that although I choose my actions based on what I think is good and right, I know that I can't determine the outcome of those actions and that�s alright. This is especially important when it involves others, because really, all I can control is myself. When I started doing that meditation, I was kind of upset, depressed even, but I couldn�t exactly figure out why. Then I did the meditation. And after the meditation I realized I was upset about some people I love and care about that I felt hadn�t treated me the way I wanted to be treated. I think I was feeling bad about myself, that I spent my time loving them. Why was I loving people who were not, in my estimation, being good to me? Was there something wrong with me? The meditation made me realize that there was nothing wrong with me, that I chose to give that love and beyond that, I have no control. Now, perhaps in the future, I will choose to spend my time and energy differently, but if I give my love freely and it is my choice, the outcome doesn�t diminish me.
That happened last week. And somehow it lifted the cloud of depression that had settled over me, and blew it away.
Now, even though it�s still chilly here � it was actually snowing on Monday -- I feel like Spring is just around the corner. I feel like I�m ready to move into a new phase of my life, when I will be better able to use my creativity for positive change. Between the painting class I took and the work I did with a coach to prepare for the job interviews, I realized that my creativity is what drives me, and the more I can use it in all the parts of my life, the happier I will be. So, I plan to focus on giving my creativity room to blossom during the month of April, by trying to make sure that I take the time to paint, by trying to use my creativity in my work (not always easy!), and by beautifying my home. And of course look for new ways to work out and to eat healthy and delicious food. I�ll be looking for ways to make creativity bloom in every area of my life!
So, the theme for this month is blossoming, along with all the Spring flowers that I can�t wait to see! Wishing a wonderful Spring and a blossoming of happiness to all my friends!

Much food for thought nestled in this blog posting! I often second-guess my actions with loved ones when it fails to bring my expected/desired response. I can really benefit from embracing what you said about "if I give my love freely and it is my choice, the outcome doesn�t diminish me." This can be so helpful and healing, allowing us to act honestly in a heartfelt and loving way, without allowing the outcome to be the focus. It's all about sharing the love, right?
WTG on the meditations! I'm up to a whole minute, most mornings
baby steps...
Have a great day!

I liked your blog.
I was wondering - can I really control myself? If I could, I wouldn't need all this support on SP, I would be just a healthy person right away. :-)
For how long have you been doing meditation?
How long is a session?
I started with meditation daily in December, and have so many positive effects to benefit from.

Great blog! I'm doing the meditation too, the best part of my day.
I use the centering thought when I'm on the elliptical at the gym to reinforce my intention and keep or try to keep in the moment.
So lets blossom.
Have a blessed day
