The Making of Europe:
From our twentieth-century perspective, we tend to think of the Europe of the past as a colonizer, a series of empires that conquered lands beyond their borders and forced European cultural values on other peoples. This provocative book shows that Europe in the Middle Ages was as much a product of a process of conquest and colonization as it was later a colonizer.
"The most stimulating and well-written reassessment of medieval Europe that has appeared for many years."--Eric Christiansen, The New York Review of Books
"Bartlett amasses a wealth of documentation and, unlike other authors, he weaves a rich tapestry of colourful incidents, personalities, and contemporary comment.... A masterful survey of the forces that shaped the West."--Theodore K. Rabb, The Times Literary Supplement
"An absolutely first-rate book.... Bartlett has elucidated the making not only of Europe but of our own country and of the modern world as a whole."--Roger Draper, The New Leader
"Essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand the problems of Europe today."--Keith Thomas, Guardian
The Making of Europe is an important book. . . . This excellent discussion of medieval colonial expansion is much overdue. . . . [It] goes a long way toward understanding what is meant by the European mindset and sheds some light on why this mindset spread into the far corners of the globe."--Madelyn B. Dick, History: Reviews of New Books
. . . a useful and illuminating book, marked by breadth of outlook, impressive erudition, and a convincing discussion of the principal forces contributing to the "making of Europe" between the tenth and the fourteenth centuries."--Journal of Interdisciplinary History

A hoard of 1,700 pairs shoes have gone on display in South Korea, in the hope their owners will come to reclaim them.
Police believe the suspect, a second-hand shop owner who was arrested earlier this month, stole the shoes from mourners at funerals over a number of years.

Genuitec :: Driving Development for Leading Organizations › Support Forums › MyEclipse IDE › Installation, Configuration & Updates
This topic contains 11 replies, has 5 voices, and was last updated by Scott Anderson 5 years, 1 month ago.
I recently bought a new Mac Book pro with "Retina Display" and the MyEclipse fonts looks ugly.
A quick search took me to eclipse bug 382972. I have tried the suggested workaround, but it doesn't have any effect.
Are you planing to have a new release with support for "retina display" ? Is there any workaround that we (my eclipse users) can use.
Version: 10.5
Build id: 10.5-20120615
- This topic was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by support-tony.
MyEclipse users using a MacBook pro with the new Retina display could experience display issues due to the incorrect rendering of fonts and other related problems. This is an Eclipse issue which affects MyEclipse and all other Eclipse based applications.
The bug report you pointed has couple of relevant suggestions. Can you let us know exactly which one you have tried or did you try all the suggestions and they did not work for you?
Any resolution in MyEclipse will have to wait for resolution in Eclipse.
Sorry for inconvenience.
Dear my eclipse staff,
Thank you very much for your quick answer.
Accoring to the bug report that I have mentioned (382972 ), I have tried the following :
Test 1
1.1)Edit the Info.plist
file: /Applications/MyEclipse/MyEclipse 10.app/Contents/Info.plist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>CFBundleExecutable</key><string>../Profile/myeclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/myeclipse</string> <key>CFBundleIconFile</key><string>3684203190-43208.icns</string> <key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key> <true/> </dict> </plist>
Please note that I added the suggested content at the end of the xml
<key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key> <true/>
1.2) After restarting MyEclipse the problem still appears (fuzzy fonts)
2) Test 2
2.1) Edit Info.plist
(same content of Test 1)
2.2.) Copy the Directory /Applications/MyEclipse/MyEclipse 10.app/ to /Applications/MyEclipse/MyEclipse 10-copy.app/
2.3) Remove the directory /Applications/MyEclipse/MyEclipse 10.app/
2.4) Rename MyEclipse 10-copy.app/ to MyEclipse 10.app/
According to the bug report this should clear the "cached" Info.plist. I have tried the aforementioned steps without success, neither from the "console" nor from "finder".
I understand that this is not a problem related directly to MyEclipse, but a consequence of the high resolution display. However, it would be very nice if there is a workaround. I've seen similar problems on other applications and most of the times there are workarounds.
Tks for your help!
Thank you for the details. I have escalated it to a dev team member. They are looking into the issue.
Sorry for inconvenience caused.
I'll take over working with you to find a workaround to the display issue on the new retina displays. However, although I'm a long-time Mac user I have to point out that I don't have a retina display with which to test. So, unfortunately, I'll have to ask you to do a bit more of the leg work than I'd normally do. Sorry in advance for that.
First, I need to point out that we need to make a few changes to the workarounds you tried in the plist file. The way MyEclipse installs, there are actually two .app files. There's the top-level one that you found and then there's actually the "real" .app file within it. I've attached a screenshot to help show where the one that actually gets run is located.
Basically, you need to try the same workaround to the internal .app's plist file — the plist file within myeclipse.app as shown in the screenshot. You'll note that this plist file has many more entries than the outer one.
For tests 1 & 1 (below) please run a COPY of the internal .app file (myeclipse.app) after making the changes to its plist. The reason for the copy is mentioned in the Eclipse bug report here.
1.) Can you make the same edits that you did in Test1? Did it change the results?
2.) Can you change the NSHighResolutionCapable flag from <true/> to <false/>. What did that do?
3.) When you installed MyEclipse, which option did you select? Carbon 32, Cocoa 32 or Cocoa 64 bit?
4.) Can you look under your System Preferences > General. Note the two bottom preferences "Use LCD font smoothing when available" and "Turn off text smoothing for font sizes XX and smaller". Can you experiment with those settings to see if they have a postiive or negative effect?
Once we've tried the above and know the results, hopefully we'll get this figured out.

Hi Scott,
I am having the same issue and I tested your suggestions without success. I installed the Carbon version of MyEclipse 10.
The only thing that partially worked was copying the internal myeclipse.app file to /Applications and modifying its Info.plist.
After these steps, once I launch it I can see the Eclipse fonts are rendered correctly for the retina display, however MyEclipse won't launch due to "The Myeclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library".
I have tried to rename the /Applications/MyEclipse folder and the /Applications/MyEclipse/MyEclipse 10.app folders and when I launch MyEclipse I can see the retina display fonts, however MyEclipse won't start due to errors. In both cases the error is Java exit code 13 and the /Applications/MyEclipse/MyEclipse 10.app folder is recreated with the Contents/Profile subfolder.
I have successfully used the workaround in the Eclipse bugzilla report for other Eclipse instances, but this does not seem to work in MyEclipse, possibly due to the particular folder structure that MyEclipse is configured to use. Eclipse instances copied directly to /Applications can more easily be renamed and so the Info.plist caching issue can be circumvented.
It seems that once MyEclipse is installed and launched for the first time the missing NSHighResolutionCapable key in Info.plist is cached indefinitely. A possible workaround would be to try to modify the Info.plist after installing MyEclipse but before launching it for the first time, but I have not tested this.
First, thanks for testing on the new Macs so we can get a good workaround prior to the MyEclipse 11 launch.
I installed the Carbon version of MyEclipse 10.
I believe all the workarounds are only supposed to work with Cocoa anyway. So perhaps installing the 64-bit Cocoa version would yield better results here.

You're exactly correct here — you CANNOT copy the myeclipse.app file to any other location and expect it to work. Our installation is quite specific and multi-tiered and as a result the files must continue to remain where there were installed.

This is a very interesting hypothesis. If you wouldn't mind trying a 64-bit Cocoa install of MyEclipse 10.6 it would be interesting to see if modifying the info.plist prior to first launch (but not making a copy or moving myeclipse.app) will solve the issue. Great idea!
+1 for a retina support 🙂
If testers needed or more information is required for the developers for this systems let me know and I could help too
Just a headsup.. guess i got it working 😀
I changed the Info.plist that is on the top level of the MyEclipse.app, then I changed the one within the Contents/Profile
Same drill, right clicked, show package contents, edited the info.plist to add the line to support retina, created a copy of it, deleted the myeclipse from within the profile folder, and then renamed the copy to myeclipse… After that I just launched the MyEclipse10.app and it worked great 🙂
Hope that helps other devs that are eager to put on good use the retina displays of our expensive babies
Thank you VERY much for the followup to let us know what the final solution was! I'm sure this will be a big help in the next few months as people continue to upgrade to those SWEET retina display MacBook Pro's.
I'll make this thread "sticky" so others can have a little easier time finding it.
Thank you very much for your help. I managed to make it work by following the suggested steps. Here is the summary for the future warriors:
1) Open the Info.plist that is on: "/Applications/MyEclipse/MyEclipse\ 10.app/Contents/Profile/myeclipse.app/Info.plist"
Please note that there are two Info.plist file. The first one is right bellow "My Eclipse\ 10.app", editing this file doesn't have any effect
2) At the bottom of the xml you need to add (before closing the xm):
<key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key> <true/>
After editing the file should something similar to (tail -10 Info.plist):
<!-- WARNING: If you try to add a single VM argument (-vmargs) here, *all* vmargs specified in eclipse.ini will be ignored. We recommend to add all arguments in eclipse.ini --> </array> <key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key> <true/> </dict> </plist>
Note: Even if you are used to the console, you need to use "Finder" for the following steps
2) You need to copy the directory "/Applications/MyEclipse/MyEclipse\ 10.app/Contents/Profile/myeclipse.app/" and paste it
At this point you will have something similar to:
/Applications/MyEclipse/MyEclipse\ 10.app/Contents/Profile/myeclipse.app/
/Applications/MyEclipse/MyEclipse\ 10.app/Contents/Profile/myeclipse.app\ copy/
3) Remove the directory "my eclipse.app" (Yes you need to remove the original!)
4) Rename the directory "my eclipse.app\ copy" to "my eclipse.app"
5) Enjoy programming on your "retina display"!
I just wanted give a bit "THANK YOU" to our retina display pioneers who worked with us to document the workarounds in this thread. This was truly a great community effort and we really appreciate it.

Stuff with the Perl Foundation. A couple of patches in the Perl core. A few CPAN modules. That about sums it up.
I was thinking about putting together a talk about different programming styles and I decided to loosely translate the following snippet from Squeak (a free implementation of Smalltalk):
hello: times say: text
(times > 100)
ifTrue: [ Transcript show: 'You will get bored!']
ifFalse: [1 to: times do: [:i | (Transcript show: text) cr]]
It's like some kind of bizarro mirror universe where everything looks OK until you peer closely at it. Since Squeak doesn't have if/then statements, what's really going on is the "greater than" comparison is actually a constructor and ifTrue and ifFalse are actually messages sent to the boolean object. It can choose to act on those messages or not and if it does, the code in the square brackets is evaluated (think "anonymous sub".) As a result, you really do have complete encapsulation and you could even reorder those messages if you so desired. In a traditional if/else statement, that's not always as easy.
To translate that into Perl, you might have the body of the method looking similar to this:
(Boolean->gt($times, 100))
->ifTrue( sub {print "You will get bored!" } )
->ifFalse( sub {print $text for 1
.. $times } );
(Yes, I cheated with the range operator.)
And the relevent methods in Boolean might look like this:
package Boolean;
sub gt {
my ($class, $num1, $num2) = @_;
bless {
true => ($num1 > $num2)
} => $class;
sub ifTrue {
my $self = shift;
$self->{true} && shift->();
return $self;
sub ifFalse {
my $self = shift;
! $self->{true} && shift->();
return $self;
No if statements at all (though they're there in disguise.)
I'm not recommending this particular technique, but I did think it was a fascinating look at "pure OO" and its implications. This has proven very helpful to me as it taught me to take a closer look at how I use if statements. Much of my code is now conceptually cleaner due to finding a different way of thinking about the problem.
Squeak also includes a more traditional syntax if you choose to use it (most don't), but can still map the one syntax to the other, without even losing comment locations.
Or, you can program in a tile-like environment in Morphic, which again builds Smalltalk methods from the tiles.
The nice thing about Smalltalk is that it's a way of life, not a language. And every part of i
use strict;
use warnings;
use Test::More tests => 2;
package Boolean;
use strict;
use warnings;
sub import {
no strict 'refs';
*{(caller())[0] . '::cond'} = \&cond;
sub cond (&) {
my ($bloc
Sweet! I would change two methods:
sub isFalse {
my ($self, $sub) = @_;
! $self->() && $sub->();
return $self;
sub isTrue {
my ($self, $sub) = @_;
$self->() && $sub->();
return $self;
Maybe I can slip this into production


text: I have a major problem here. I can not start the engine on my 1994 Acura Legend 4 door. The problem is the factory installed car alarm is going off and normally i would just turn my key in the driver side door to disarm it and all is good...but there is a problem with both(driver & passenger) side door keyholes...when i put my key in and attempt to turn it wont turn at all...moves about 10% and then it feels like my key is going to break off if i turn it any further...its like both keyholes are jammed. I can not start the car with the alarm going off. I have disabled the battery to stop the alarm and I looked for some kind of valet alarm switch near the hood release but i could not find it. Does anyone here know a way i can disable the alarm so i can drive the car home? Is there a way to do it with the fuses or a valet switch? I was told this info from a mechanic online: "If your desire is to simply disable the factory alarm, that can be done by simply taking a jumper wire and jumping the 2 terminals on the hood switch. By doing this, it will prevent the security system from setting." I dont know what this means exactly. I appreciate any and all help in this matter. My email is [email protected] Thank you!!!

Basque-style Garbanzo Beans
(Makes 12 servings)
Santa Maria tri-tip barbecue traditionally includes pinquito beans, native to the area. But these savory Basque-style beans provide a perfect side dish.
1 lb. dried garbanzo beans, cleaned and soaked in water overnight
A few hunks of Trader Joe's uncured applewood-smoked bacon ends and pieces (or 5 strips of thick bacon, or 1 smoked turkey wing or a smoked ham hock)
4 large shallots, thinly sliced into rings
1 green bell pepper, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced or crushed
1 tsp. smoked paprika (I like hot, but you can use sweet if you prefer.)
1 T. dried, crushed oregano
4 or 5 whole bay leaves
1 14.5-oz. can diced tomatoes
1 tsp. sugar
Splash of Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
Water or stock
Steps: Place a large Dutch oven over medium heat, add the bacon or other smoked meat . If you're not using bacon, add 1 T. of olive oil to the pan. Stir the bacon around until it gets crispy. If you're using the bacon hunks, ham hock or smoked turkey wing, stir them around in the hot oil for a couple of minutes to slightly brown the meat.
Lower the heat and add the shallots and bell pepper, stir until veggies are soft. Add a dab more olive oil if your pan is too dry.
Add the garlic, smoked paprika, oregano and bay leaves. Stir for a minute or so, but make sure not to burn your garlic.
Raise the heat to medium high and add the tomatoes, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any bits. Add a can of water or stock, letting the mixture bubble for a few minutes.
Add the sugar and Worcestershire sauce, and stir in the beans. Now, add 4 cans of water or stock.
Add about 1 tsp. of salt and pepper. You can use more salt later when the beans are done and you taste for seasonings.
Bring the mixture to a boil, uncovered, then lower the heat to simmer. Cook covered on low for about 3 hours. Stir occasionally.
After about 3 hours, remove the lid, turn up the heat and let the garbanzos bubble lightly until much of the liquid has evaporated and thickened slightly.

Bipolar Disorder (Children and Adolescents)
Diagnosing Bipolar Disorder
What should the steps be in trying to identify if someone in my family has a type of Bipolar disorder?
Will there be sevaral trips to the doctor or will one trip be enough to determine if he has a type of bipolar disorder?
Family member is a 17y/o male.
Hello and thank you for your excellent questions.
Assuming the 17-year-old male in question is having problems right now, the first step is to contact a mental health professional (psychiatrist, psychologist or social worker) to obtain a comprehensive psychiatric assessment. This assessment should screen for:
- all the possible psychiatric symptoms a teen could have at this age (including alcohol/drug abuse)
- his developmental history
- history of family's psychiatric diagnoses
- medical history
- a history of his mood throughout his life and specific questions about depressive and manic symptoms, both currently and, because mood disorders are episodic, in the past
This information is usually collected via clinical interviews with the patient and his caregivers and questionnaires the patient, caregivers and teacher(s) complete. It usually takes two or three visits.
Hope that helps. Best wishes.

Sports Authority has these for about ½ of the price that the factory charges. At $1000 it is a solid treadmill. At $2000, look elsewhere.

Tim Holl, a partner in the San Diego office of Ernst & Young, which works with Dow Jones VentureSource, said 2015 appears to have been an outlier. In an average year, San Diego gets about $1 billion and 90 to 100 investments, he said, similar to the data VentureSource reported for 2016. Venture capital dollars are kind of relegating back to the norm, he commercial real estate interest rates said. In the fourth quarter of 2016, companies in San Diego doing drug development got $53 million; those making medical lab instruments and test kits received $43.5 million; and biotechnology firms received $14.12 million, VentureSource reported. Technology firms also got in on the action: Classy Inc., a software firm, got $30 million; cybersecurity company Proficio Inc. raised $12 million. Holl said the companies that had received funding were representative of the strengths of the regions business community. Its a good cross-population of what San Diego is good at, he said.

Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, firstname.lastname@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] [RM] Oct. 3, 2013 Lone Star State History Comes to Life at Texas State Parks AUSTIN - As autumn arrives and leaves begin to turn, the colorful and unique story of Texas - from its prehistoric times through, Spanish colonialism, the republic's fight for independence from Mexico, post-Civil War era and into the 20th century - unfolds through guided tours and special events at more than 50 historic sites within the state parks system. And, there's no better time to experience that history than October. October is Texas Archeology Month, which celebrates the state's archeological heritage through demonstrations, lectures and dozens of public events held at historic sites throughout the state, including a number of Texas State Parks. Those state parks feature not only some of the best Native American pictographs in the nation at such places as Big Bend Ranch State Park, which on Oct. 12 is hosting a guided hike to one of the Big Bend region's best rock art panels, but also compelling presentations on archeology (Lockhart , Oct. 5), flintknapping (Copper Breaks, Oct. 5) and 19th century pioneer and ranching life (Caprock Canyons, Oct. 19). On Oct. 4, Houston area families, friends, veterans and others can play air/sea/land games aboard the historic Battleship TEXAS. Others who prefer a more literal "taste" of living history in the outdoors can experience a slice of early Texas farm life at such historic sites as Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site's Barrington Farm, Lyndon B. Johnson State Park's Sauer-Beckman Farm and Cedar Hill State Park's Penn Farm. Many state parks and historic sites this month also offer guided tours of 19th century missions, military frontier forts and Civilian Conservation Corps structures or host special history events reflecting such topics as state's ranching heritage. On Oct. 19, Hill Country State Natural Area near Bandera will host its annual Ranch Heritage Day and Copper Breaks State Park near Quanah invite the public to "Meet the Longhorns," member of the official State Longhorn Herd. For a full list of featured October state park events and their locations, visit the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's activities calendar. The Texas State Park system continues to benefit from the hard and skilled work of the Civilian Conservation Corps crews that developed dozens of state parks and historic sites throughout the state in the Depression years of the 1930s and 1940s. See some of their lasting craftsmanship and enduring structures at Bastrop State Park, Longhorn Cavern, Indian Lodge, Palo Duro Canyon and 25 other TPWD sites.

The first five canine handlers and dogs have graduated from an intense eight-week training program located at the world famous Utah POST canine facility in Salt Lake City. The second wave of canine handlers and dogs will attend the course in January 2014. "The K9 program has been a long time coming, and we are extremely proud of our handlers for their hard work - an effort which resulted in a 100 percent pass rate," said Grahame Jones, Chief of Special Operations for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Law Enforcement Division. "In addition to excellent support from the department and the Parks and Wildlife Commission, we would like to thank the Travis County Sheriff's Department, Texas Department of Public Safety, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation for assisting during the planning phase." Funding for the purchase of dogs and travel to and from Utah was provided by the TPW Foundation through a private donor. Utah Post provided the training at no cost with the exception of a minimal administrative fee, an amount also paid for by the private donor. Depending on geographical location, the dogs will be used for various functions including detection of illegally taken or smuggled game and fish, search and rescue, cadaver search, and narcotics enforcement. "Most of the dogs will have dual functions such as wildlife detection and search and rescue," said Game Warden Capt. Kevin Davis, who oversees the canine program. "I am gratified to assist Texas Game Wardens in their efforts to diminish the trafficking of contraband in their communities," said Sgt. Wendell Nope, Utah Post K9 Training Director. "I look forward to working with TPWD in the near future to further enhance the abilities of the canines and handlers in search and rescue situations." "We cannot thank Utah Post enough for their partnership and professionalism," said Col. Craig Hunter, LE Division Director. "The department is extremely excited to see the Texas Game Warden K9 team become a reality." Check out a video news release about the new K9 unit on YouTube. -30-

text: Ok since I posted to support this new forum I'll contribute to getting some threads in it!! Why can't deliveries be made after working hours?!?! Loads of places work backshifts & nightshifts but not delivery drivers!! Even though no f***er is at home when they try & deliver because most people have to work regular 9-5ish shifts!! Example: I ordered a set of wheels last week as some people may have noticed, they were supposed to arrive on WEDNESDAY at some random time between 8 in the morning & 6 at night!! So because I was working, I got my brother to come & stay at mine so he could collect the delivery. I get a phone call at around half 4 from my bro saying "what's the story Scott, these have still not arrived, there's a power cut & I'm bored out my skull". I proceed to tell him that they can be delivered up until 6 so please stay. When I get home, still no wheels, so I look through the mail & low & behold, there's the delivery note sitting in with the mail. My bro has slept through the door bell (assuming the guy has even knocked on the door) & then waited in on these things arriving for the rest of the day. Now granted: My bro's a lazy **** **** that needs to stop smoking as much weed so he can get up/notice delivery notes, but now because I was forced to rely on other people for deliveries I've had to take a much money generating Saturday off my work to go collect these wheels, oh yeah, that'll be because they don't deliver on weekends either!!

In this day and age "partnered" is an overused term, so in many ways it has a lost meaning. When we say we had our good friends at Butter build us custom Moots-Butter chain keepers it's much deeper than a "partnership". It's a shared experience of the bike, the open road and lives that embrace the good things in life. As with our Moots products we believe that if you build it right the first time, a product will give many years of hassle free service. This rings true with the Butter chain keeper in every way.
Designed by Michael Robson, the b1 and b2 improve and refine this staple tool used by professional mechanics into an elegant and highly functional accessory machined from high-quality materials. The ergonomics help it perform solidly and its outstanding build quality ensures that it will never wear out or break. The b1 and b2 are machined from billet aluminum and the chain runner is lathed from delrin. A stainless steel post holds the chain keeper together and a robust spring keeps it at the ready.
The Butter Chain Keeper is handmade in Boulder, Colorado. These Moots custom etched b1 and b2's are available in very small batches.

FY2018 Hospice Medicare and Medicaid Rates – At a Glance
In the various roles he has undertaken through the years, Val J. Halamandaris has been a singular driving force behind the policy and program initiatives resulting in the recognition of home health care as a viable alternative to institutionalization. His dedication to consumer advocacy, which enhances the quality of life and dignity of those receiving home health care, merits VNA HealthCare Group's highest recognition and deepest respect.
- VNA HealthCare Group
I have the highest respect for them, especially for the nurses, aides and therapists, who devote their lives to caring for people with disabilities, the infirm and dying Americans. There are few more noble professions.
- President Barack Obama
Home health care agencies do such a wonderful job in this country helping people to be able to remain at home and allowing them to receive services
- U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) Chair, Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee
Home care is a combination of compassion and efficiency. It is less expensive than institutional care...but at the same time it is a more caring, human, intimate experience, and therefore it has a greater human element...it's a big mistake not to try to maximize it and find ways to give people the home care option over either nursing homes, hospitals or other institutions
- Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich (R-GA)
Medicaid covers long-term care, but only for low-income families. And Medicare only pays for care that is connected to a hospital discharge....our health care system must cover these vital services...[and] we should promote home-based care, which most people prefer, instead of the institutional care that we emphasize now.
- Former U.S. Senator Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-CD)
We need incentives to...keep people in home health care settings...It's dramatically less expensive than long term care.
- U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ)
Home care is clearly the wave of the future. It's clearly where patients want to be cared for. I come from an ethnic family and when a member of our family is severely ill, we would never consider taking them to get institutional care. That's true of many families for both cultural and financial reasons. If patients have a choice of where they want to be cared for, where it's done the right way, they choose home.
- Donna Shalala, former Secretary of Health and Human Services
A couple of years ago, I spent a little bit of time with the National Association for Home Care & Hospice and its president, Val J. Halamandaris, and I was just blown away. What impressed me so much was that they talked about what they do as opposed to just the strategies of how to deal with Washington or Sacramento or Albany or whatever the case may be. Val is a fanatic about care, and it comes through in every way known to mankind. It comes through in the speakers he invites to their events; it comes through in all the stuff he shares.
- Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence
Val's home care organization brings thousands of caregivers together into a dynamic organization that provides them with valuable resources and tools to be even better in their important work. He helps them build self-esteem, which leads to self-motivation.
- Mike Vance, former Dean of Disney and author of Think Out of the Box
Val is one of the greatest advocates for seniors in America. He goes beyond the call of duty every time.
- Arthur S. Flemming, former Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare
Val has brought the problems, the challenges, and the opportunities out in the open for everyone to look at. He is a visionary pointing the direction for us.
- Margaret (Peg) Cushman, Professor of Nursing and former President of the Visiting Nurses Association
Although Val has chosen to stay in the background, he deserves much of the credit for what was accomplished both at the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging, where he was closely associated with me and at the House Select Committee on Aging, where he was Congressman Claude Pepper's senior counsel and closest advisor. He put together more hearings on the subject of aging, wrote more reports, drafted more bills, and had more influence on the direction of events than anyone before him or since.
- Frank E. Moss, former U.S. Senator
Val's most important contribution is pulling together all elements of home health care and being able to organize and energize the people involved in the industry.
Anyone working on health care issues in Congress knows the name Val J. Halamandaris.
- Kathleen Gardner Cravedi, former Staff Director of the House Select Committee on Aging
Without your untiring support and active participation, the voices of people advocating meaningful and compassionate health care reform may not have been heard by national leaders.
- Michael Sullivan, Former Executive Director, Indiana Association for Home Care
All of us have been members of many organizations and NAHC is simply the best there is. NAHC aspires to excellence in every respect; its staff has been repeatedly honored as the best in Washington; the organization lives by the highest values and has demonstrated a passionate interest in the well-being of patients and providers.
- Elaine Stephens, Director of Home Care of Steward Home Care/Steward Health Systems and former NAHC C
Home care increasingly is one of the basic building blocks in the developing system of long-term care. On both economic and recuperative bases, home health care will continue to grow as an essential service for individuals, for families and for the community as a whole.
- Former U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME)
NCOA is excited to be part of this great event and honored to have such influential award winners in the field of aging.
- National Council of Aging
Health care at home…is something we need more of, not less of. Let us make a commitment to preventive and long-term care. Let us encourage home care as an alternative to nursing homes and give folks a little help to have their parents there.
- Former President Bill Clinton
The National Council on Medicaid Home Care (the Council) looks back on 2013's major developments for both Medicaid and the Council, a NAHC affiliate:
Medicaid Expansion: Several states continue to expand traditional fee for service Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. A growing number of states are seeking permission from CMS for alternative methods of expansion using commercial insurance and managed care plans, incorporating principles such as premium assistance. Iowa is the third state, after Arkansas and Michigan, to adopt such a model, with Pennsylvania and Tennessee currently in negotiations with CMS to do the same.
Managed Long Term Services and Supports and Duals Demonstrations: More states are moving away from fee-for service LTSS and towards managed long-term services and supports (MLTSS). Despite delays and criticisms, states continue to sign on to duals demonstrations with CMS. Both MLTSS and the duals demonstrations create strong opportunities for rebalancing.
Olmstead Litigation: Lawsuits continue to be brought against states alleging insufficient provision of home and community-based services, as was the case this year in Georgia and Florida.
Payment Rates: States continue to re-negotiate fee for service Medicaid payment rates. For recent Council survey results on payment rates, click here.
New Staff Members: The Council welcomed Michelle Martin, Director of Policy, and Steve Postal, Director of the Resource Center, earlier this year. Both join Bill Dombi, Executive Director.

DL doctor in Afghanistan
It's the name of the game for military members and their loved ones, and while not all families in the Detroit Lakes area have a first-hand reason to remember that over the Memorial weekend, the Smiths do.
Stacey Smith is known to many around the area as Dr. Stacey Smith, the family practice physician who has diagnosed countless ear infections, strep throats, cuts and injuries, elderly issues, and just about every ailment his community has brought to him.
He's famously quiet, but friendly.
But today as he sits half way across the world in the middle of a war zone in Kabul,
Afghanistan, he is better known as Colonel Smith, field surgeon with the North Dakota Army National Guard.
Although his unit — the 814th medical unit out of Bismarck – is not deployable, the desperate need for doctors over there makes him deployable as an individual.
And while the complexities of war may surround Smith at every turn, he knows exactly what he has to do.
What a soldier says
"My mission is simple," said Smith. "Provide medical care to anyone that requires it within my area of operation."
Smith is the only doctor in his particular location, assisted by a team of medics charged with taking care of sick or wounded soldiers serving there.
Smith, who has been a member of the guard for 18 years, doesn't say much about any hard-ships encountered during this war-zone deployment, or the two other ones in Iraq.
Armed with a little dry humor, Smith finds the upside to being in a mountainous desert in an area known for violence.
"I don't have to shovel snow," he said.
Smith, who lives in the barracks and works behind two barricaded perimeters, says he feels safe where he is at.
"The biggest challenge for me is the relative lack of medical technology," said Smith, who adds that at his practice at Sanford Health in Pelican Rapids, he is afforded the luxury of having access to equipment like MRI scanners.
"There are no available MRI scanners in Afghanistan," he said. "This situation requires medical providers to use a different mindset when evaluating and treating soldiers."
Smith is on orders for another 100-day deployment, a situation he knew he could be signing up for when he volunteered 18 years ago.
"All soldiers are volunteers," said Smith. "The majority of soldiers have deployed multiple times. I believe this speaks volumes about the soldiers and the importance of their mission."
And when that mission is over for Smith, there is little pomp and circumstance when he returns from his individual deployments; no lime-light, no loud, dramatic stories.
He deploys quietly, does his job and returns home. Just like that. His heroism seems to fly under the radar, and according to his wife, that's just the way he likes it.
What a family feels
It was Valentine's Day when Smith left this time. This one was a heartbreaker.
His wife, Jen, and four daughters were saying goodbye again.
"I had been putting the idea off for a while, so when we got to the airport I was like, wow, this is really happening," said 14-year-old Abbi, the oldest of the girls.
Thirteen-year-old Emily, who is typically the stoic one, like her father, broke down this time.
"I started to cry, and I think that made him start to cry," said Emily, as Abbi added, "Yeah, and then when he started to cry, everybody did."
But as the five little ladies went and had an emotional brunch after dropping their soldier off at the airport, they were handed a reminder.
"Two guys sitting behind us paid for our meal," said Emily, as Jen added, "I felt like God knows what you need at that moment, and it made us realize that no matter what, there's always something to be thankful for."
The Smith ladies pressed on, like they had always done before.
Daily e-mails and weekend phone calls keep them in touch with their soldier, and while they can't Skype from Afghanistan like they could during the last deployment in Iraq, that might be a good thing.
"I had to turn the volume off because I could hear the bombs, and he was like, 'Oh, they're far away,' but then I could see the shaking (of the Skype camera), so it didn't help," said Jen. "I knew every time."
Although Smith says doctors aren't sent out in harm's way, there is still an undeniable element of danger being in a war zone, a fact made clear when three American doctors were shot and killed in Kabul last month.
It wasn't the same hospital as Smith, but it hit close to home for his girls.
"I got an e-mail from him saying he was alive and okay," said Jen, "and because I know they watch CNN at the middle school, I had them pull the girls out of class to tell them that their dad was not hurt because if they heard, 'Three American doctors killed in Kabul,' they would have been a mess."
The Smith girls, who all realize their dad's deployments are much shorter than many in the military, still find it tough to deal with at night time.
Not only is there time to think about the missing man of the house, but also missing all the little things he "just does."
Seven-year old Livy tried having his photo by her bed with her, until it got too hard.
"I miss him rubbing our heads," she said, "and that's when I ask him lots of questions."
And little girls have lots of questions that daddies tend to have all the answers to.
But while Jen may be a small lady in stature, she is determined to tackle everything she possibly can.
"I don't want my girls to think that just because they're girls, they can't do something," she said. "So, I'm on the lawn mower, I run the weed wacker — whether I burn that grass or not — I'll give it a try. I can run the snowplow if I have to… it takes me three times as long as Stacy, but I can do it. And so I just hope that they're seeing that and learning that."
But Jen says while she and Stacey aren't originally from Detroit Lakes, they have grown close to a community that she says is always willing to step up and help when she needs it.
"There are things that just aren't on my radar...things that Stacey just always does," said Jen. "…little things from making the coffee in the morning to getting the garbage down to the end of the driveway on Sunday nights. Thank God for the garbage man who knows I have trouble remembering that and will come and get it."
And while nine-year old Bella misses her dad's outstanding "cooking" of Nutella-smothered sandwiches and camping with him, she felt some comfort coming from her third grade classmates this year, as they wrote letters and helped put together a care package for her dad.
"He answered each and every one of them, too," said Jen, who adds while it's always hard for her to ask for help from people, she has learned to do it — at least until Colonel Smith is back home and able to resume his duties as Doctor Smith and dad.
Smith, whose 100 days will be up June 5, says he's looking forward to putting on his favorite baseball cap and hanging out with his dog and his family.
And while this little six-person unit has withstood the sacrifice of missed events including gymnastics competitions, choir, swimming and even little Livy's birth, the girls say he's worth waiting for.
"I love when we say 'nah-nuh-nah-nuh-boo-boo' and he runs after us, tickling us," said Livy, smiling.
And for Smith, the sacrifice of missing out on precious time with his five little ladies and working long, hard hours in Afghanistan is one he is willing to make.
Those are his sacrifices as a U.S. soldier.
"America is truly a great place to live and is worth defending," said Smith.

Best, best, BEST mascara I've ever used! For some reason, only the waterproof version of The Colossal rocks it out for me; I tried switching to the washable version and the results were literally like night and day. I lost a ton of the volume, length and thickness I was used to with this version (waterproof) and it seemed like it clumped up a lot easier, too.
What I adore about this mascara? It delivers everything I love in a mascara; volume, thick-looking lashes without clumps, length AND ability to hold a curl. I'll curl my lashes before applying, then again after the mascara has dried & I get a gorgeous, lasting curl that holds all day.
Definitely my HG of mascaras! I always try other brands/varieties and end up right back here :)

Following an orientation week at Dumbarton Oaks, fellows will be embedded in the collaborating institution for four to six months, in order to acquire new skills and work on a project. During the latter part of their Fellowship, they will return full-time to Dumbarton Oaks to share and apply the knowledge they have acquired by conceiving a new project related to their recent experience, or contributing to an ongoing Dumbarton Oaks project.
Dumbarton Oaks is an internationally renowned research institute, museum, and garden of Harvard University located in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Fellows will collaborate at one of a range of museums, libraries, archives, and collections in the nation's capital, where they will develop new skills by working on projects that may include curation and exhibit preparation; research and publication; conservation and cultural preservation; marketing and communication; education and outreach; program evaluation and strategic planning; and other projects relating to the humanities.
The fellowship aims to enable exceptional students to project themselves into careers in the humanities, whether inside or outside the academy, by acquiring skills, broadening their interests, and connecting with influential practitioners and leaders. During their tenure, they will supplement their undergraduate education with hands-on experience in museums, libraries, archives, cultural non-profits, and related institutions. They will also have the opportunity to contribute to the culture and mission of Dumbarton Oaks, through knowledge transfer and innovation. Dumbarton Oaks hopes that Humanities Fellows will also benefit by participating in its lively socio-intellectual life.
The fellowships are merit-based. Dumbarton Oaks Humanities Fellows will be chosen for outstanding scholarly achievements, broad cultural engagement, desire to gain and use new skills, and potential to contribute to dynamic humanities communities. The fellowships are meant to benefit individuals who may not be intent on pursuing another degree immediately after graduating, would like to learn while contributing to the advancement of group projects, and would gain from spending an academic year in Washington, D.C., in particular. Recipients of the fellowship need not have been concentrators in the humanities, but should have demonstrated a strong and sustained commitment to the humanities through coursework or extracurricular activities. Their ability to communicate their vision of what the Humanities mean to their own generation will be given weight in making the award.
All Harvard College seniors, and Harvard College alumni who have graduated within a year of the fellowship deadline, are eligible.
To be considered for the fellowship, applicants should submit the following by November 28 via Crimson Careers:
- Résumé
- Transcript (an unofficial transcript from Registrar's Office is acceptable).
- An example of your work: a written paper, article, portfolio, or project
- A statement of purpose that describes your background and interests and explains how a fellowship in the Humanities will further your intellectual and professional goals. To help us understand which project might best suit you, please outline what skills you hope to acquire over the course of the Fellowship.
- In addition, please arrange for two letters of recommendation to be sent by your recommenders to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Interviews of shortlisted candidates will be held in Cambridge during late January.
The fellowship term runs from the beginning of September to the end of May. Fellows will be provided with accommodations on the Dumbarton Oaks campus, complimentary weekday lunch in the Refectory when at Dumbarton Oaks, as well as Library and Garden privileges. They will receive a stipend of $23,000, and will be eligible for medical insurance through the Dumbarton Oaks Fellows' plan. They will also have a small research budget to attend a conference related to their academic or professional interests. Up to four fellowships will be offered.

5th FedCom RCT
Sarna News
|5th FedCom RCT
|Unit Profile (as of 3063)
|The Black Rats
|Parent Formation
|Federated Commonwealth Corps
The Fifth Federated Commonwealth RCT is a military unit of the Federated Commonwealth and, later, the Federated Suns. The unit has never been able to meet the expectation put upon them as "the best soldiers and best equipment of both states". The Fifth FedCom, in fact, is accident prone, has low morale, and generally believe that bad things will happen to them. The Fifth FedCom is made up of primarily light and medium BattleMechs, usually older models with a handful of more modern ones. On paper, the Fifth FedCom has three battalions, but can field only eighty 'Mechs or so.
Formed in 3037, the Fifth FedCom suffered its first bit of bad luck shortly after its formation when during a training accident over a third of its MechWarriors were killed in a DropShip crash. Less than six months later House Marik attacked the RCT's base on Tsitsang inflicting further losses on the unit. The Fifth FedCom performed well in the beginning of the War of 3039 taking Halstead Station. Shortly after though the Draconis Combine counterattacked using Star League era BattleMechs and equipment and shattered the Fifth FedCom, and forcing them to withdraw, leaving lots of BattleMechs, supplies, and equipment behind. New personnel and BattleMechs were issued to the RCT when they had returned to Tsitsang, but were not considered of the same quality that the unit had been first formed with. This only seemed to reinforce to the Fifth FedCom's personnel that the unit was unlucky and they were losers, a mindset the Fifth FedCom would not get over. [1]
At some point between 3050 and 3061 the Fifth FedCom would move from Tsitsang to Chesterton and take up station there. By this point the RCT's loyalties were firmly in the Katherine Steiner-Davion camp. The Fifth FedCom's next campaign would start on a very unlucky note when the RCT was deployed to Axton in August 3063 to convince the 1st Bell Training Battalion to join the Civil War on Katherine Steiner-Davion's side, or disarm the unit. After arriving in system the RCT's bad luck was once again apparent when two DropShips collided and crashed with all personnel lost during entry to the planet's atmosphere. The remaining DropShips were scattered as well. After a few days various units of the RCT began to rally up under Leftenant General Klaus von Ludendorf. After a few days the 1st Bell Training Battalion, backed by two militia regiments were deployed to "lend assistance" to the Fifth FedCom, but shots were fired and fighting began between the Fifth FedCom and the 1st Bell Training Battalion. After three weeks both sides called for reinforcements, with the Fifth FedCom's XO Annete Leyland the first to respond. Taking command of the Fifth FedCom from Leftenant General Klaus von Ludendorf, Leftenant General Annete Leyland pushed the 1st Bell Training Battalion back to the planets rainforest filled subcontinent. At this point reinforcements arrived for the 1st Bell Training Battalion in the form of the 5th Syrtis Fusiliers under the command of Major General Robert Koenig which made landing in October. Now the Fifth FedComs were the ones on the defensive. For the next few months the various units would play a game of cat and mouse in the planet's rainforests until February, 3064 when the Fifth FedCom broke contact during the Monsoon season and escaped over the Keliant Mountains onto the Kei-Den Plateau. [2]
By June of 3064, Leftenant General Annete Leyland had given up on reinforcements from New Avalon and her command had taken heavy damage from the pursuing 5th Syrtis Fusiliers. The only aid the Fifth FedCom would receive was the location of a hidden supply depot. When the Fifth FedCom raided the supply depot they discovered plenty of conventional munitions, as well as fifty atomic weapons, plus their delivery systems. Leyland took the weapons with her and decided to keep them "as a last resort". On the 17th of June after the 5th Syrtis Fusiliers and 1st Bell Training Battalion had cut off a large number of her troops, Annete Leyland authorized two of the nuclear weapons to be used. The 1st Bell Training Battalion was completely destroyed, as were a battalion of armor and a sizable number of the 5th Syrtis Fusiliers infantry caught in the open. At this point the 5th Syrtis Fusiliers backed off, but soon attacked again, intent on destroying the Fifth FedCom completely. Leftenant General Annete Leyland would use twelve more of the nuclear weapons over the next two weeks attempting to save her command from annihilation. On July 29th the Fifth FedCom fled the system after ransacking Chesterton's capitol and raiding Wangker Aerospace.[3]
On the 24th of November the Fifth FedCom arrived at Marlette and joined the Loyalist forces there, though not without controversy. Some wanted the RCT arrested to a man and all senior officers executed, but calmer minds prevailed and the Fifth FedCom was given a place in the defense, soon after they would take the city of Argentan and later set up a static defense line against the Allied Forces. The 5th Crucis Lancers received word the 20th Avalon Hussars had arrived in system and launched an attack on the loyalist forces. The 20th Avalon Hussars had not come to take the planet but to attack the Fifth FedCom and as soon as they arrived set themselves opposite of the Fifth FedCom and attacked. One of these attacks was executed by the Fourth New Valencia Rangers infantry regiment, part of the 20th Avalon Hussars infantry brigade. This raid prevented the use of more nuclear weapons.[4] After 25 days of fighting the the 20th Avalon Hussars were able to destroy a third of the Fifth FedCom after separating it from the main group. By day 53 of the fighting the Fifth FedCom were on the verge of collapse so Leftenant General Annete Leyland chose to use one of the nuclear weapons as a warning, but the 20th Avalon Hussars ignored this warning and attacked. At this point, Leyland made the decision to use nuclear weapons against the 20th Avalon Hussars, who were closing in on her command post. She dispatched her fighter wing to drop the nuclear weapons, one succeeded in dropping its payload, but the nuclear weapon failed to function and the 20th Avalon Hussars shot down the rest of the attacking fighters and overran the Fifth FedCom's airfield soon after. At this point Leftenant General Annete Leyland and the Fifth FedCom withdrew on March 11th from Marlette with four BattleMech companies. The remaining Fifth FedCom were absorbed by the Marlette CMM forces. At this point the Fifth FedCom was considered destroyed by the both sides, although elements had escaped and were still at large. [5]
During the Jihad the Fifth FedCom participated in the battle for New Avalon on the side of the Federated Suns, arriving in system on the 10th of December 3072 and using nuclear weapons to break through the Word of Blake naval blockade around the planet. Despite being depleted and mistrusted by the other Davion units, they helped push the Blakists off the planet. Redeployed to other continents in 3074, they kept the Blakists from fully destroying all of New Avalon's defense industries.[6] [7]
After the Jihad ended, survivors of the Fifth FedCom were allowed the chance to join the 12th Vegan Rangers while their unit was stricken from the AFFS roster of commands.

|James White

The Fifth FedCom are generalists, with no special skills, though the has a reputation for retreating if possible or if not possible fighting with everything at their disposal if pushed into a corner.
Composition History[edit]

5th FC RCT (Green/Reliable)[12]
- CO: Hauptmann General James White [12]
In 3067 the unit consisted of:
- 5th FedCom Regiment
- CO: Hauptmann General James White
- "5th FedCom Armor Brigade
- CO: Leftenant General Klaus von Ludendorf
- "5th FedCom Infantry Brigade
- CO: Lft. General Dan Luger
- Like other FedCom RCTs, the Fifth primarily used the FedCom Corps crest, and for its insignia a black rat on a white disk.
- The parade color scheme of the Fifth, is the same as other FedCom Corps units, which is navy blue with gold banding on the arms and legs of 'Mechs. Gold is also used to highlight panels on the upper torsos of 'Mechs and turrets of armor units, resulting in a checkerboard pattern. On many occasions it has been defaced with a yellow stripe painted on the 'Mechs' backs or vehicles turrets by other units who infiltrate the Fifth FedCom's bases.

Trumpf's TruMicro 2000 series of pulse lasers for microscopic machining offers a pulse duration of 20 picoseconds with 10 microjoules of pulse energy and a 10-W average output power at high brilliance. With an M2 beam quality of less than 1.3, the lasers are suitable for high-precision separation and structuring applications. Controls monitor each individual picosecond pulse from generation through delivery via the external modulator. Output power and pulse energy are kept at the required levels regardless of external influences, the company says.
The small, lightweight lasers feature control options for integration into manufacturing lines. Variations with infrared or green wavelengths are available for a selection of focusing abilities and absorption properties. The laser can be used for applications such as black marking anodized aluminum. The beam passes through the anodized layer of material and causes the metal to change color, while the surface is unaffected.

About 500 pre-1972 cars showed up for the 25th annual Burger Run and car show Saturday at the Pepper Tree Frosty in Vista. Four auto enthusiasts began the series with a trip for burgers on a whim in 1988. The second year, with a little planning, they gave out free T-shirts and a dash plaque and attracted 100 participants. Since then, the show has steadily grown. The Pepper Tree Frosty has served shakes and burgers to Vistans for more than 50 years.

In style: Hairy tales
The ancient story of Samson and Delilah shows how important a man's hairstyle can be. The tale has inspired sculptors, composers and screenwriters, and Samson's long locks are part of a long list of classic men's hairstyles. What follows is a look at other memorable men's hairdos throughout history and in pop culture.
50BC: The Roman emperor Julius Caesar wore his hair short and flat against his head, but brushed forward from the crown.
AD390-450: Following the collapse of the Roman Empire, most of Europe adopted the hair and dress of the Germanic peoples. During the reign of the Merovingian dynasty, King Chlodio V was nicknamed "Le Chevelu" because he wore his hair longer than most of his predecessors. During this time, long locks were a symbol of status. Royalty wore their hair long while members of the lower classes and slaves either had short hair or shaved heads.
1600s: Having to wear a long wig might sound like social suicide to the modern man, but in 17th-century France it was a sign of status, made popular by King Louis XIV. He made public appearances and frequently posed for portraits in a long, dark brown wig with loose waves.
1700s: President George Washington went against the trends of his day by not wearing a wig. Instead he powdered his own hair and pulled it back, augmenting it with extra-long sideburns.
1800s: Author Charles Dickens was noted for his comb-over. He would comb a large chunk of hair from the right side of his head over to the left, creating a thick mess of curls.
Early 1900s: Sure, Albert Einstein won the Nobel Prize in physics for his theory of relativity. But his long hair and seeming lack of interest in its appearance made his "mad scientist" persona legendary.
1950s: James Dean and Elvis Presley made the pompadour hairstyle famous for bad boys. The hair is cut short on the sides and left longer on top. It's then combed forward and flipped up and back in one long wave, creating a voluminous pouf at the front of the hairline. Presley wore his style with thick sideburns.
1960s: The Beatles sported the mop top early in their careers. Their brown locks were cut at uniform length with a fringe of long bangs just above the eyes.
Bob Dylan's fine curly locks stood straight up on his head, which, for some, made the dishevelled look desirable.
Jimi Hendrix made the Afro hairstyle a must-try for anyone with naturally curly hair or a perm and a gift for teasing.
1970s: Dreadlocks have long had religious or mystical symbolism in Africa, India and other cultures. Reggae star Bob Marley of Jamaica brought them into the mainstream.
1980s: Michael Douglas made the slicked-back look famous when he portrayed Gordon Gekko in the film Wall Street (1987). The character's hair proved to be a fitting style to go with the Gordon Gekko uniform: suspenders, collared shirts and printed ties.
The mohawk hairstyle was first associated with ancient mummies and the Native American Mohawk tribe, but it became a popular symbol of rebellion in the punk rock movement during the 1980s. It was achieved by shaving the sides of the head and spiking the middle hair with product. (In the 1990s and 2000s, the style was still prominent among rockers such as Travis Barker from the band Blink-182.) The style gradually transitioned to the everyday wearable faux-hawk. This style features longer hair that has been gathered, raised and slightly spiked at the top of the head with product. Soccer players David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo have sported faux-hawks.
1990s: Kurt Cobain wore his hair parted down the middle, long and straight. This became "the" haircut for anyone starting a grunge band in their garage.
2000s: Donald Trump might be best known for his signature comb-over and its vulnerability to any gusts of wind. His thin red locks are meticulously swept across the top of his head, over his bald spot.
Justin Bieber drives teeny-boppers wild with his long, side-swept hair. The head whipping may have been necessary for him to see out from beneath his overgrown bangs, but it became a signature move for those rocking "The Bieber".

Location of Songhay languages[3]
Northwest Songhay:
Koyra Chiini
Eastern Songhay:
Koyra Chiini ([kojra tʃiːni], figuratively "town language"), or Western Songhay, is a member of the Songhay languages spoken in Mali by about 200,000 people (in 1999) along the Niger River in Timbuktu and upriver from it in the towns of Diré, Tonka, Goundam, and Niafunké as well as in the Saharan town of Araouane to its north. In this area, Koyra Chiini is the dominant language and the lingua franca, although minorities speaking Hassaniya Arabic, Tamasheq, and Fulfulde are found. Djenné Chiini [dʒɛnːɛ tʃiːni], the dialect spoken in Djenné, is mutually comprehensible, but has noticeable differences - in particular, two extra vowels (/ɛ/ and /ɔ/) and syntactic differences related to focalization.
East of Timbuktu, Koyra Chiini gives way relatively abruptly to another Songhay language, Koyraboro Senni.
Unlike most Songhai languages, Koyra Chiini has no phonemic tones, and has subject–verb–object word order rather than subject–object–verb. It has changed original z to j.[4]

from R.C. Sproul Aug 14, 2017 Category: ArticlesWhen I first became a Christian I was introduced to the priorities of the Christian community.

I was expected to have a kind of piety that was evident by not cursing, not drinking, not smoking, and the like. I had no idea that biblical righteousness went far beyond these things. Keep Reading

Theology Learned in the Flames of Adversity
from Steven Lawson Aug 11, 2017 Category: ArticlesIn 1527, Martin Luther experienced a trial so severe that church historian Philip Schaff described that year simply as "the disastrous year." It was the time of Luther's "severest spiritual and physical trials." As the leading figure of the Reformation, Luther paid a high price in the struggle for truth, and his physical condition deteriorated under the movement's mounting demands. On April 22, 1527, Luther was so overcome by dizziness in the pulpit that he stopped preaching and was forced to retire. Other physical problems followed for the Reformer, including severe heart problems, digestive ailments, and fainting spells. He also began to wear down emotionally, suffering bouts of discouragement and depression. Keep Reading

Define a couple macros: (in some common header, pqprintf.h?) #define snprintf pq_snprintf #define vsnprintf pq_snprintf Then just maintain the postgres forms of printf which have seemed to be OK except that on Win32 vnsprintf, although in the same object file was not being used. > Dear all, > After struggling for one week to to integrate FreeBSD's vfprintf.c into > PostgreSQL I finally gave up.
