Nandina (Nandina domestica) is also known as "heavenly bamboo." Despite its name, it is not related to bamboo at all; it is actually a shrub with bamboo-like leaves. It gets white flowers in the spring, and bronze-tinted leaves in the winter. In the fall, it develops bright red berries. It is an aggressive grower, and without annual pruning, it can get unruly. Knowing how to properly prune a nandina will result in a healthy, gorgeous plant.[1]
Part 1 of 3:
Planning Ahead
1Prune nandinas in mid to late winter. While you can generally prune nandinas any time of the year, winter is the best time to prune. Not only is the plant dormant, but you can use the pruned stems in floral arrangements. The combination of bright green leaves and red berries is quite festive.
- If you cannot prune the nandina during winter, you can prune it during early spring before the white flowers develop. If you cut those off, you won't get the berries![2]
2Keep children and pet away from the nandina while pruning. The leaves and berries are toxic to consume. Their bright colors can make them look appealing to children and pets who are curious or don't know any better. If you decide to bring the cuttings indoors to use in arrangements, be sure to keep them out of reach of children and pets.
3Get sharp bypass pruning shears and lopping shears. You will use bypass pruning shears on shoots that are thinner than 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm). You will then need to switch to lopping shears for thicker branches. Both tools must be sharp in order to reduce wounding. You can purchase these in a hardware store or in a garden supply shop.[3]Advertisement
Part 2 of 3:
Pruning the Nandina
1Make cuts in a staggered, step-like formation. Take a moment to look at your nandina and visualize where you want to cut. This will help keep you more organized in the future. The most visually-appealing formation for nandinas is the "stair-step" formation, where you cut the outer stems shorter than the central ones. It will also help with the formation of new shoots.[4]
2Prune the oldest or weakest branches first. Find the tallest, oldest branches on your nandina, and cut it down with your shears. Take a moment to locate any weak branches close to the ground, and cut them back as well. Do not prune more than a third of the stalks' lengths.[5]
3Cut the stems in one-third lengths for a fuller look. Prune the oldest, longest stems to a third of their length. Cut the next couple of stems down to half their length. Trim the rest of the stems to a quarter of their original length.
- Intermix cuts to give the bushes a fuller look.
- If you are working on an older plant, prune one-third of the old growth.
4Cut just above a branch or leaf node. This will allow new shoots to grow and prevent the plant from looking too bare. If you prune too far down the stem, the plant will look spindly and unappealing.
5Save some of the cut stems for floral arrangements, if desired. Many people find the combination of red berries and bright green leaves visually attractive. It is no surprise that trimmings often find their way into vases and other floral arrangements, especially during the winter. Instead of throwing away the cuttings, consider saving some of the nicer ones, and putting them into a vase.
- Place the cut stems into vases filled with cool water. They should last several days.
Part 3 of 3:
Fertilizing the Nandina
1Fertilize the nandina after pruning. Fertilizing after pruning is recommended because it provides a needed dose of nutrients to the plant and helps it get ready for the upcoming growing season. Once you clear away the pruned stems and leaves, try to fertilize that same day, or within a couple of days.
2Trace a 12 in (30 cm) ring around the base of the plant. You can trace the ring into the soil with a stick or with your finger. Keep the edges of the ring 6 inches (15 cm) away from the base of the plant. This will serve as a placement guide for the fertilizer.[6]
3Sprinkle a 10-30-10 granular fertilizer onto the traced ring. Don't worry if a few grains end up inside or outside the ring. You do not have to get it directly into the groove formed by the stick or your finger.[7]
- If you can't get a 10-30-10 granular fertilizer, a rhododendron or evergreen fertilizer will do just fine.[8]
4Water the fertilizer to a depth of 8 inches (20 cm). This means that if you were to dig down 8 inches (20 cm), the soil will be wet.[9] If you do not water the plant deeply, then the fertilizer may damage the roots and kill it.[10]
- How much water you use depends on how dry your soil is and how fast it absorbs water.

BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- More disappointing earnings reports and lowered forecasts could be in the offing next week with home builders such as Pulte Homes Inc. and Beazer Homes USA Inc. set to release quarterly results.
Home-builder stocks have been volatile this week. They rallied earlier in the week after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke in testimony to Congress soothed investors' interest-rate concerns but then pulled back after several bellwethers announced lower profits and home orders.
Ryland Group on Wednesday said second-quarter profit fell 9% from the year-ago quarter as the company cut its 2006 outlook for the second time in recent weeks. See full story.
More pain hit the builder group on Thursday when M.D.C. Holdings Inc. MDC, -0.14% and D.R. Horton Inc. DHI, +1.98% said net income dropped 21% and 25%, respectively. Read related article.
Pulte Homes Inc. PHM, +1.35%, the second-largest builder in the U.S. when measured by 2005 closings, will key the sector's earnings report next week. The Bloomfield, Mich.-based company is set to release quarterly results on Wednesday. Analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call see profit falling to 90 cents a share versus $1.15 a share in the previous year's comparable quarter.
In June, Pulte lowered its 2006 profit estimate on lower demand for homes, saying it expected full-year earnings in the range of $4.70 to $5 a share, down from its earlier forecast of $6 to $6.25 a share released in February. The company said preliminary net new orders in April and May fell nearly 30% from the same period the prior year.
Pulte said its estimate for second-quarter profit was between 85 cents and 95 cents a share.
"Current demand varies by market, but overall it continues to transition after an extended period of stronger sales," said Pulte Chief Executive Richard Dugas, Jr. at the time.
"Demand has been impacted by a number of factors including an increase in available inventory of new and existing homes, higher cancellation rates and higher interest rates," he said.
Following Pulte, a trio of home builders is expected to report on Thursday.
Wall Street is forecasting quarterly earnings will fall to $2.35 a share from $2.50 in the year-ago quarter at Beazer Homes BZH, +1.30%. Year to date the stock is down 44.6% through Wednesday's close, according to investment researcher Morningstar Inc., falling harder than the overall group; the Dow Jones U.S. Home Construction Index DJUSHB, +0.80% is off 36.8% over the same period.
Standard Pacific Corp. SPF, -1.69% is also on the agenda Thursday. Analysts see earnings cooling to $1.36 a share from $1.54 the previous year.
Also, M/I Homes Inc. MHO, -0.39% is on tap to report Thursday -- the consensus estimate is for quarterly profit to rise to $1.36 a share from $1.21 in the year-earlier period. Earlier this month, the company said second-quarter orders fell 35% on softening home demand. See previous story.

As Mormonism continues to be in the spotlight in this "Mormon moment" as some have called it, the Society for the Prevention of Anti-Mormonism continues to see a rise in articles written by ministers of sectarian Christian denominations asking "Are Mormons Christians?" or "Why Mormons aren't Christians," etc. In every case, these men of the cloth repeat long discredited misrepresentations of Mormon beliefs, playing on the ignorance of the faith of latter-day saints. It is often the case that these articles intentionally avoid telling readers important truths that might present Mormonism in a favorable light. Just what are some of the truths they want to keep you from learning? Here's a brief list:
- Mormons believe in Jesus Christ wholeheartedly. We believe he is the Son of God, the Lamb of God, the Light of the World, the Redeemer and Savior.
- We believe in being born again, being saved by grace, and that we must repent of our sins and accept Jesus Christ as our Savior.
- Mormons believe in the Bible. There is nothing you will find in the Bible, particularly about Jesus Christ, that we do not believe.
- Bible prophets prophesied that the Book of Mormon would come forth.
- The apostles of Jesus Christ predicted a falling away from Christ's teachings and that the authority Jesus gave them would be lost.
- The Bible predicted a restoration of these things that were lost.
- What the world calls Mormonism is the restoration or re-establishment of the ancient Church Jesus and the apostles founded.
- God the Father and Jesus Christ have appeared and spoken again in our time.
- Revelation, visions, angelic ministrations, and gifts of the Holy Spirit are present in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
- Members of the Church believe that faith impels us to do good works, because the Bible teaches that faith without works is dead, being alone.
I could add more, but these ten points will suffice. One last key point to remember is that Mormons do not expect anyone to take our word as proof that these things are true. Each person can know for himself through study, reflection, and sincere prayer. We believe that God gives personal revelations to those whom he calls to become members of the Church. James 1:5-6 in the Bible tells us that, if we lack wisdom, we should ask of God. It invites us to approach God and ask him. We invite you to learn more. The Church website at www.mormon.org is a great place to begin. Then take it up with the Lord. We know he is true and faithful to answer you.

Ranger pick VC gun is possible, but it will require a lot of work to do. Also, it will cause some game play problem while control.
Bullet Vast, maybe.

Bullet vests were not common and our best representation of that here is the Flak Jacket.
Replacing the Ranger's gun with a VC gun was highly discouraged because A: Equipment is expensive. B: Not matching ammunitionSat, Sep 9th '17 at 16h 35m 25s #6096
I meant when the ranger is out of ammo .Bro,seriously? So he just survive with a fucking pistol?Sat, Sep 9th '17 at 22h 24m 28s #6098
Yeah. That's why the pistol's there. And that's why we bring ammo boxes.
I think it'd be unwieldy and difficult to program the ranger to carry two guns at once.
Now the pilot, that's a different matter. The pilot should be able to pick up a superior weapon.Sun, Sep 10th '17 at 4h 33m 20s #6099
I don't know if this is stupid but could we pick up a rock and throw it?It should attract VCs effectivelyFri, Sep 15th '17 at 17h 54m 39s #6150
I think having other ways of producing noise artificially would be good as currently the only way to do that is to waste grenades or support to produce explosives, and hence noise. Something as simple as a rock or a whisper to attract enemies in a particular direction, perhaps at the cost of heightening their awareness, would be nice. Maybe fool an enemy into abandoning an asset or getting an HMG to face another direction.
I wonder if there were such things as noisemakers in that time period.Fri, Sep 22nd '17 at 17h 58m 37s #6211
I think a system were you get more of a particular style of mission based on what you did good on or chose in your previous missions would add to the immersive feeling. For example if your guys have go on like 3 recce missions and got kill cards you start getting an increased chance at drawing a recce mission.Fri, Sep 22nd '17 at 18h 18m 48s #6212
Did something happen to my post? It just disappeared… whatever I'll just retype.
First off, as you can tell from my profile picture, I want the XM21 (I've been waiting for ages haha). I heard something about it being an assassination gun, hoping it'll be added sometime.
Weapons changes I would suggest:
HK33: Rename to T223 (American designation) and give a 40 round magazine, like IRL.
FAL: Rename to L1A1 (Australian designation) and make it semi-auto. If it's an L1A1 and not an L2, it should be semi, right?
G3: Should get a scope (I'd give a link but I suspect it caused my last post to fail). The ones used by SEALs in Vietnam had scopes, so why can't ours?
XM177: Make it full auto, I never really understood why it was semi in the first place.
M1 Carbine: Switch to M2 Carbine, M2 is quite a bit better and used in Vietnam (experience from MnB3).
Weapons I would suggest:
XM21 (possibly silenced)
M40 (silenced)
Sten gun (silenced)
M16A1 (significantly less jam rate)
M16A1 with 30 rd mag
Snub-nose revolver (I know there's a sprite for it already)
Semi-Auto shotgun (Auto-5?)
I heard that in update 1.5 there would be a new mission type, where your team would go to a bombed train/convoy/something and retrieve scattered bits of intel. I'd like to see this happen.Fri, Sep 22nd '17 at 18h 20m 33s #6213
One more thing, VC stationaries have absurd view range (lookin at you HMGs). I'd say they can only see in a 180 degree arc in front of themselves just like ordinary VC's, but frequently turn to a random new direction. The gunners should also be able to be shot, grenaded, or even knifed off.Fri, Sep 22nd '17 at 20h 23m 34s #6216
Actually The HMG Gunner can be shoot out, but well Knife them is the thing I really want. XDSat, Sep 23rd '17 at 21h 53m 31s #6229
This is Recon arise and not MNB3. OR I totally missed out on something. :blush:Sat, Sep 23rd '17 at 22h 20m 25s #6231
You do realize that M16 was infamous for jamming all the time in Vietnam? Also, why bother renaming weapons from the universally known names to the much more obscure. The L1A1 was also used as the designation for one of their own rifles (sure, lets confuse the sh*t out of it). Some things are better left alone…
…just like the ability to keep sending the same troopers for combat training and boosting their stats beyond 5. You used to be able to make super soldiers!!! Now, its more like the NVA have that advantage.

The Agile Instructional Design Network & Course Design Xchange
This webinar features an award-winning 2018 OLC Effective Practice which was recognized at OLC Innovate 2018, April 18-20, 2018, in Nashville, TN.
In 2015, the Instructional Design team at MSU Denver recognized a growing need to establish added structure and improved processes in order to meet the growing demands of online and hybrid education. In response, the MSU Denver Agile Instructional Design Network (AIDNet) and Course Design Xchange (CoDeX) was established. AIDNet represents a new practice, mindset, and organizational infrastructure supporting instructional design at MSU Denver. Consisting of dynamic, cross-functional teams,AIDNet members work with autonomy, agility, and a focus on collaborative efficiency. Each instructional design team within the network includes a senior instructional designer, online course developers, and instructional media specialist. This strategic coalition and scalable networked structure create an exciting design environment which stimulates ongoing creativity, productivity, and continuous process and product improvement. Teams are empowered, self-organizing, self-managing, and accountable for the delivery of results that consistently meet faculty needs and expectations.
This new personnel restructure is accompanied by the Course Design Xchange, an institutional "market economy" within which departments and faculty "purchase" applicable instructional design resources and/or services through five new course improvement programs (which have now been formally recognized, and adopted institutionally): CourseLaunch, CourseAssist, CourseConstellation, CourseSelect, CourseCertify. Offering these process-driven programs, in conjunction with leveraging Quality Matters (QM) and a variety of new technologies, has led to a highly-flexible, systems-approach to instructional design with ever-growing potential, both at MSU Denver and nationally. New relationships have been built, course improvements are being made equitably across the university, and a broader vision of possibilities is now shared between and among previously disparate departments and organizations.
This webinar is applicable to all educational professionals but would be of particular interest to instructional designers, administrative leaders, and other institutional change agents. Participants will gain insight into the processes and practices that allow instructional design and media development to thrive at scale within a large, urban, post-secondary university.

The knowledge that your faith in me allowed this dream to become a reality is something I will never forget, and for which I am eternally grateful.
Daniel Turner, recipient of the President's Award Scheme
I am so pleased that the Women's Section Allowance will continue for another year. I am so very grateful for this stipend as it helps me pay for my day-to-day living expenses, and with food and heating costs getting more expensive, it makes a big difference. With my husband wounded in the Second World War and unable to sustain an income, I have never had a lot of money – so I thank you sincerely for all the support you have provided me and continue to.
Mrs A Harrison, West Yorkshire
I would like to express my sincere thanks to all in The Women's Section for awarding me with this bursary. It has meant that I have been able to concentrate fully on my studies and it has also given me the security of knowing that I am able to afford my weekly food bill, as my student loans leave very little to live on. Thank you all very much for you help.
James Wright, recipient of the President's Award Scheme
Thank you for the support, kindness and generosity you have shown by paying for my TV license. I was so touched it reduced me to tears. It has made a world of difference to me, more than you can know. Thank you.
Mrs S. Hooper, Torquay
What a lovely surprise to receive a card and gift on my 83rd birthday. I do thank you and for the help you have given me and are still giving me. It means a lot to me to know that I have some support as it isn't easy living on state pension and benefits. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
J Littler, Wales

Police arrested newlyweds after killing a man for a thrill. A Pennsylvania couple who had just been married three weeks carried out a murder by luring a man with a Craigslist advertisement. The couple had planned to kill in the past, but had been unsuccessful at finding a victim until now.
Elytte and Miranda Barbour ages 22 and 18 killed 42-year-old Troy LaFerrara on November 11. Miranda had used Craigslist in the past to make money by offering non-sexual companionship for men. They used an ad promising companionship for money to arrange a meeting with Miranda.
Barbour drove to a mall on November 11 with her husband hiding under a blanket in the backseat of their SUV. On Miranda's signal Elytte wrapped a cord around the victim's neck while she proceeded to stab him 20 times.
Troy LaFerrara's body was discovered November 12 in an alley of a small town located approximately 100 miles northwest of Philadelphia. The couple had recently moved to Selinsgrove, a town nearby.
Miranda and Elytte both face criminal homicide charges but Miranda was charged Wednesday and continually changed her story about the murder. Miranda admitted to meeting the man in Selinsgrove and then driving him to Sunbury. After parking, Miranda claimed that the victim groped her and she then grabbed a knife from between the seats, but only after the man put his hand around her throat.
She told police that after killing LaFerrara, she went to purchase cleaning supplies to wash blood out of the car and then picked up her husband. She then took her husband to a strip club to celebrate his 22nd birthday.
According to Elytte Barbour it was he who bought the cleaning products, which was verified with surveillance footage from the department store. Police ended up arresting the newlyweds after it became clear that both husband and wife took part in the murder.
Barbour said that he supported the "companionship" services his wife offered because there was no sex involved. She kept ads on several websites as a business venture that would earn her between $50 and $850 for casual social activities with men. Barbour also told police "She is not a prostitute. What she does is meet men who have broken marriages or have no one in their lives and she meets with them and has delightful conversation."
Police are investigating the possibility of other victims particularly the deceased father of Miranda's 18-month-old child. The couple had been living in North Carolina prior to moving to Pennsylvania.
Elytte Barbour told The Daily Item that his wife was not a "cold killer" but that he knew nothing about what his wife did until she surrendered to state police Tuesday morning.
Initially, Miranda claimed to be alone, but her story evolved with further questioning. Her husband was arrested Friday night.
When Elytte walked into the courtroom he shrugged his shoulders and smiled at reporters. He is charged with criminal homicide, aggravated assault, simple assault, criminal conspiracy, and possession of instruments of crime. He was able to tell police the location of the stab wounds on LaFerrara's body and where they had dumped the victim.
Since police arrested the newlyweds Elytte has been sent to Columbia County Prison and his wife to Northumberland County Prison. Each are being held without bail.

The desire in all of us to be valued and challenged, and how running can make that happen.
"Mrs. W., can you borrow me?"
I turn around to see a little five-year-old with glasses twisting in her chair to look back at me and make sure I heard her.
"Not til I'm done with Joey, Sophie" I reply. "Then I'll be happy to "borrow you." "
As a Title 1 teacher's aide in a rural public school I have lots of moments that tug at my heart. This one was a happy one as the children I had been working with really loved having one-on-one time with their teachers. They loved being "borrowed."
I think I know the feeling – I think we all do.
Being singled out for attention that causes us to feel both valued and challenged is one of the best feelings in the world. It is also incredibly rare for most children, at least in most schools.
The benefits of being mentored are undeniable. We can all look back at our lives (hopefully) and think of someone who mentored us. Someone who listened and encouraged us, – who made us feel seen and heard.
The desire to connect kids with adults who will be that person in their life is being addressed by a heartening number of nonprofits and advocacy groups from Big Brothers, Big Sistersto Girls on the Run. It meets an obvious and growing need for our nation's children. It is also why I have joined a new nonprofit that addresses this need called Team Long Run as their Director of Mission Development.
Team Long Run's mission (http://www.teamlongrun.org/) is evident in their motto --"Every Kid Deserves a Coach." I love that.
I think everyone agrees that every kid deserves a chance – a chance to succeed, a chance to reach their potential, a chance to give of themselves to others and the world – a chance to have a happy life . . .
In my work over the past year, I have seen the needs, as well as the potential, of the kids I work with. I have come to realize that "Every Kid Deserves a Coach" really means "Every Kid Deserves a Chance."
Kids like the one who told me as I walked into the middle school classroom that nobody liked him and neither would I, and then turned out to be a talented young writer. Or the little girl who I knew was recently homeless who smiled the best smile ever in the history of smiles when I sat next to her on the floor during a yoga classroom break. The smile of a child who knew what hope, and a chance to have a better life, felt like. The smile of a child who could benefit from the right "coach".
In the largest sense, a coach is someone who encourages you, who helps you meet your goals. They are the people in your life who inspire you, who metaphorically put their hand on your back as you are struggling up a steep hill, but who also know it is better for you to do things on your own, whenever you can, since that is what makes you strong.
Team Long Run seeks to connect kids who don't have the benefit of a strong, healthy team experience (for a variety of reasons) with running mentors through an innovative program. You can read all about it on their website http://www.teamlongrun.org/ but as Chuck Wilcoxen (TLR's founder) often says, "Completing a difficult task is satisfying, joyful. Doing that every day is transformational."
We're here to help kids who don't have that opportunity.
Casey Powell Clark is helping us create a sustainable development plan, a.k.a. – fundraising. Other team members, Jake Meier and Chaz Wilcoxen, are ready to roll out the content on social media.
Soon, you will see the results of that work and that will be when you can help too! We are all doing this as volunteers (Chuck is the only paid employee) in order to keep Chuck free to do what he does best – bring the benefits of running to kids who don't have access to running mentors.
From a group of kids at a youth center for students from immigrant families in Lewiston, Maine to students on the autism spectrum at local public schools in New Hampshire, to elementary school kids who can't afford sneakers and so are unable to participate in P.E., he has been building a team of kids who are benefitting from his vision.
Kids who needed a coach – someone to believe in them and help them in practical ways.
That's why I have come on board. I believe wholeheartedly in this mission and hope you will decide that this is something you, too, can support.
We would love your help in sending us ideas or kids who you think might benefit from this work, or adults you think might be terrific mentors.
For all you are doing to help others in your life, and for helping us make children feel "borrowed" through supporting Team Long Run, we thank you.
Hilary Harper-Wilcoxen
Director of Mission Development, Team Long Run
Other TLR members: Leonard Hatcher (Finance Committee Chair), Will Freeman (Team Member), David Wold (Team Member) Board of Directors: Sibylle and Dan Kinley, Jonathan Palmer, Hilary Harper-Wilcoxen, Chuck Wilcoxen.
P.S. If you can't wait to donate to our team, by all means, send your check to Team Long Run P.O. Box 54, North Bridgton, ME 04057, or go onto our website and find our donate button. We'll spend it wisely and with the kids in mind, every dollar of the way.

Record-breaking baseball player, pilot with the Army's elite Nightstalkers, dedicated leader and patriot, Major Stephen Reich was all these things and more.
Reich served four tours of duty in Afghanistan and was killed in action on June 28, 2005 during Operation Red Wings, as he and 15 other troops (8 Nightstalkers & 8 Navy SEALs) aboard an Army Special Operations MH-47 Chinook helicopter were struck by a rocket-propelled grenade in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan's Kunar province. No one survived.
Their mission was to rescue a four-man Navy SEAL team, one of which was Marcus Luttrell who later wrote about the events in Lone Survivor.
But what you don't know about Stephen Reich, and how he came to be the pilot that fateful night, might surprise you.
What People Don't Know
On that night, Reich took command of the Chinook right before one of his newest pilots, 1st. Lieutenant Matthew Brady, was about to depart to rescue Luttrell and his team.
"Stephen Reich knew in his heart this would be one of the riskiest, most dangerous missions we'd flown in a long time," said Brady. "If he was going to ask his men to fly into the teeth of the enemy, he would be right there alongside them. It was the most valiant act of sacrificial leadership I have ever witnessed."
'One of the Best'
Reich attended West Point where he pitched for the Army baseball team. Reich was a star pitcher for Army and holds the record for most wins by a West Point pitcher.
"He was one of the best to ever come through here," said Bob Beretta, a spokesman for the Army baseball team in an interview with the New York Post. "When we say someone here is the best since, it's always the best since Steve Reich."
Reich was known for his fastball and command, rarely walking a batter. He signed with the Baltimore Orioles organization in 1996 after completing two years of a four-year military commitment, and pitched two games for their Class–A High Desert Mavericks affiliate in that year before being recalled by the Army.
In 1993, Reich was named to the "Team USA" baseball team. He carried the American flag while representing Team USA in 1993 at the World University Games. He made 17 appearances for Team USA playing in Italy, Nicaragua and Cuba and at the World University Games.
During his military career Reich received the Bronze Star Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, Joint Meritorious Unit Award, Senior Army Aviator Wings, Airborne and Air Assault Badges. He was posthumously given the Purple Heart, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Bronze Star Medal and an Air Medal with Valor device and the Combat Action Badge.

read the beginning here
Tel Aviv, Israel
- Dabby is a filmmaker, feminist. The leader of the famous million person peaceful demonstration here in Tel Aviv.
- I'm the killer.
- Who did you kill?
- My man.
- Why?
- Why not? He had the names of the kids he killed tattooed on his arms.
- When was that?
- Killing? He started when was 12.
You don't think you did good?
- Dabby believes people kill in the name of good. For the good of their group they do what they know as individuals is bad.
- You say I feel good about doing something bad?
- You tell me. Was it a good thing to do? Is that why you are here with us today in Israel?
- Everyone, get in the truck.
Dabby, everything arranged?
- Our girls will be at all the houses. I hope yours will be too.
- Armed?
- Everyone, man and woman in Israel is trained in the use of weapons.
- Armed. Ok, Go on.
- We Jews are sensitive on the subject of individuals killing for a group.
- You want me to say I killed for myself?
- Did you?
- Prof., where's that Russian girl you got to talk to the guards and the working girls?
- In the back.
- Get her up here.
- Translators: they're with all the teams.
- Natasha, right? Repeat what you told me.
- The revolution will never succeed. Anarchism is weak. It will be crushed.
- And I asked, anarchism makes people weak? Or is adopted only by weak people who can't protect themselves? And you answered?
- Anarchism has always failed.
- Crushed by armies.
- If it couldn't protect itself, it didn't deserve to survive.
- She's coming with us?
- Quiet. And I answered?
A strong army can protect dictatorship, communism, fascism, democracy,
even anarchism. Military force decides whether a state survives. That's
all. Return to your seat.
- I'm with you, Jamie. You killed to
give yourself a chance to live. But was it a chance for a fascist life,
or a free life? For a life obedient to a group, which can do any evil, or a life as a woman and
- Get that thing out of my face. Do we have to do this on camera?
- Yes.
- Do I have to do this, Prof?
- You have to know what you are doing.
Jamie! We've got this theory. We feminists in Israel. We grow up with
our father's rules, learn them without knowing why we should follow
them. We grow up, want to be independent, want to do what we want, not
what others want. We rebel against the rules, because though we don't
really know what we want, we know for sure we don't want to obey someone
else's rules. That rebellion may be our first
important independent act, and the world teaches us something. We've
gotten somewhere, but the problem is, the rebellion was forced on us, we
were driven to it by not knowing what else to do. And what we are
driven to do, like we learned our father's rules, we do without
understanding why. Father and child learn the rules learned by fathers and children, all without knowing why, all without knowing why they rebel, when they do. Obedient and rebelling, with the group or creating a new group, they do what if they weren't unconscious they'd know was bad.
- A feminist revolutionary doesn't want to rebel against fathers.
- Or boyfriends with tattoos. We please our fathers by following their rules.
We please our mothers by doing things worthy of their love. There are no
rules to be followed, we try one thing, then another, see what our
mother loves.
- Still obeying, doing what your mother wants.
- No. Your mother can
love many different things. She herself also tries out many things to find what
pleases her family, she can choose one, then another, then another... Why do you girls kill? Rebellion against fathers, unconsciously, potentially evil? Or as an army that can protect anything, but we make sure it only protects our attempts to please mothers, remaining conscious, never to do evil?
- Your mother.

The architectural design of the Oliver D. Fit ley house, just north of 68th Street on the west side of Park Avenue, is in every way compatible with the former Percy R. Pyne house it adjoins. The first floor rusticated base, the limestone belt course at the fourth floor window sill level, as well as the stone cornice and balustrade carry through similar designs at the same level, and the color and pattern of the brickwork are identical. This is entirely by intention since the same architects, McKim, Mead & White, designed both houses. Oliver D. Filley was Percy Pyne's son-in-law, and there was formerly a physical interior connection between the two houses.

Title: Re-architecting Network Services for Modern Networked Applications
Abstract: Modern networked applications often have stringent performance requirements, which stress the simple TCP/IP service model of today's Internet. In our research, we are exploring how we can re-architect network services – at different levels of the network stack – to support a wide range of networked applications, including highly distributed applications that run inside the cloud, as well as wide-area Internet applications, such as video conferencing and emerging IoT and augmented reality applications. In this talk, I will mainly focus on ReWAN, a cloud-based packet recovery service for latency sensitive applications. ReWAN supplements the best effort packet delivery service of today's Internet by judiciously using the inter data center paths only for packet recovery. We have evaluated ReWAN across several application and network scenarios, highlighting its benefits in providing fast packet recovery at a low cost.
Bio: Fahad Dogar is an assistant professor in the CS department at Tufts. He received his PhD from Carnegie Mellon and an undergraduate degree in CS from LUMS (Pakistan). Before joining Tufts, he was a postdoctoral researcher at Microsoft Research, UK. He is broadly interested in networked systems, with a focus on cloud systems, future Internet architectures, and transport protocols.

When To Strike: Exploring The Variables That Lead To Successful Decapitation Strikes, Renzo Pierres
When To Strike: Exploring The Variables That Lead To Successful Decapitation Strikes, Renzo Pierres
Honors Undergraduate Theses
The purpose of this thesis is to determine how different variables can affect a terrorist group's reaction to a targeted leadership strike, known as a decapitation strike. Decapitation strikes often produce unwanted results, such as a splintering of the terrorist group, or a failure to destroy the group. It is important that we understand which variables can lead to a group's destruction after a decapitation strike, to maximize the decapitation's effectiveness. In my research I have determined that group size, group ideological extremism, and the role of the leader targeted all have a substantial impact on the ...
European Migration And The Far-Right: 2011-2017, Lauren Wilson
European Migration And The Far-Right: 2011-2017, Lauren Wilson
Honors Undergraduate Theses
This study investigates the relationship between the current migration crisis in Europe and the escalation of far-right voting which has been witnessed since it's beginning. In order to do so this study utilized correlation experiments and detailed case studies to explore the relationship between legislative vote shares and asylum applications for the years 2009-2017 in the EU member states of Hungary, Germany, France, Greece and the UK. Control variables of GDP, unemployment and terrorist attacks have also been utilized to measure alternative causes of far-right voting. Results of these experiments vary quite a bit from state to state - finding ...
Pro-Government Militias And The Legacy Of Military Rule In Latin America, Alexander Mendelsohn
Pro-Government Militias And The Legacy Of Military Rule In Latin America, Alexander Mendelsohn
Honors Undergraduate Theses
Currently Latin America experiences a phenomenon of widely varying levels of violence across the region. Many countries, such as El Salvador and Honduras, have exceptionally high murder rates upwards of 40 homicides per 100,000 people (UNODC 2015). Other countries, such as Uruguay and Argentina, have relatively low rates, below 10 homicides per 100,000 people (UNODC 2015). I believe this variation stems from the use of pro-government militias specifically employed in the past by military governments as tools of suppression. Under the guise of combating subversive elements within their countries, these groups were used to silence and repress those ...
Nato Enlargement: Poland, The Baltics, Ukraine And Georgia, Christopher M. Radcliffe
Nato Enlargement: Poland, The Baltics, Ukraine And Georgia, Christopher M. Radcliffe
Honors Undergraduate Theses
Over the past two decades, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has enlarged several times to include a number of new countries. The first two case studies that are analyzed within this paper include key countries that were added in the 1999 and 2004 rounds of NATO enlargement: Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. The third case study takes a closer look at two countries, Ukraine and Georgia, that sought to become members of NATO but were denied Membership Action Plans (MAPs) because of Russian discontent and military intervention. It is questionable if Russia will use military force to disrupt the ...
When The Clocks Strike Thirteen: Political Repression In Modern America (1990-2015), Faiza Begani
When The Clocks Strike Thirteen: Political Repression In Modern America (1990-2015), Faiza Begani
Honors Undergraduate Theses
Abounding acts of repression committed in democracies have continued to be overlooked and under-analyzed by many researchers and scholars due to "democratic exceptionalism". As the United States enters yet another consecutive year of declining political satisfaction and freedom. It has become pertinent that as conflict study researchers, scholars, and readers alike that there is a basic understanding of coercion including acts that have been committed within our own countries. Countless scholars have focused conflict study research on underdeveloped or emerging democracies, yet many have overlooked the seamy side of developed ones. This article aims to explain the relationship between the ...
The Implications Of Domestic Party Ideologies On Refugee Policy: A Case Study Of Bangladesh And The Rohingya, Samuel S. Schiffer
The Implications Of Domestic Party Ideologies On Refugee Policy: A Case Study Of Bangladesh And The Rohingya, Samuel S. Schiffer
Honors Undergraduate Theses
Why do some political parties in Bangladesh discriminate against the Rohingya, while some do not? Much has been written about the conflict in Myanmar, but the plight of Rohingya in Bangladesh remains understudied. This lack of understanding is underscored by the five million Syrian refugees fleeing their own civil war that dominates the news and the attention of scholars. The Rohingya, however, are stateless: they are denied citizenship in their native Myanmar and are forced to find refuge in whichever country will take them.
Much has been published that links immigration policy to security considerations and the national identity and ...
Government And The Intelligence Community: A Case Study On Russia And The United States Government's Effect On Intelligence Systems, Jessica M. Lago
Government And The Intelligence Community: A Case Study On Russia And The United States Government's Effect On Intelligence Systems, Jessica M. Lago
Honors Undergraduate Theses
The United States and Russia are two major superpowers with governments that are run in different manners. Central to a government's and country's defense is their intelligence systems. The intelligence systems of these two countries are run as part of the government and are integral to its functioning. The purpose of this thesis is to discuss how both the governments and intelligence systems are structured and do they coincide with their respective systems. Using a case study on the United States and Russia, their intelligence systems and governments a comparison was drawn. While looking at the history of ...
Conflict Recurrence In Rwanda And Burundi, Kellan H. Ritter
Conflict Recurrence In Rwanda And Burundi, Kellan H. Ritter
Honors Undergraduate Theses
This thesis argues that the different reactions of the population and rival elites to executive attempts to extend term limits in Rwanda and Burundi reflect the different ways civil wars ended in these two countries. In Rwanda, a military victory resulted in institutions that placed less constraint on the ruling party, while in Burundi, a negotiated settlement placed comparatively greater constraints on the ruling party. As a result, the major party in Rwanda was more powerful than the major power in Burundi, and thus more capable to co-opt or coerce the opposition. This paper uses a most-similar case design to ...
A Contemporary Analysis And Comparison Of Kurdish National Movements: Syria, Iraq, And Turkey, Grayson Lanza
A Contemporary Analysis And Comparison Of Kurdish National Movements: Syria, Iraq, And Turkey, Grayson Lanza
Honors Undergraduate Theses
As commonly understood, and particularly espoused by Kurdish nationalists, the Kurds are by far the largest ethnic group in the world without their own nation-state. An estimated 2 to 2.5 million ethnically Kurdish people inhabit portions of Syria. There are approximately 6.5 million ethnically Kurdish people in Iraq, 7.6 million in Iran, and 16 million in Turkey. Overall, there are about 30 million Kurds in the world. In the broader context of the Kurdish nationalist struggle, this paper suggests that there is a growing bipolar hegemony for power over the control of Kurdish land and politics. Research ...
Political Islam And Democracy, Mikellon S. Browne-Michael
Political Islam And Democracy, Mikellon S. Browne-Michael
Honors Undergraduate Theses
The Middle East is a predominately Islamic region. Islam is not only a religion, it is the Muslim way of life and law. The western world follows a more modern system of government, in the form of democracy. Democracy is not modern, as in new, since it was started by the ancient Greeks, but it is modern, because it is the main system being adopted in contemporary times.
Muslims follow the ideals found in the Holy Quran, the book dictated by the prophet Muhammad. The Middle East has had a strong Islamic influence since the mid-seventh century. Islam originated in ...
The Transformation And Demise Of Terrorist Organizations: Causes And Categories, Devyani M. Mehta
The Transformation And Demise Of Terrorist Organizations: Causes And Categories, Devyani M. Mehta
Honors Undergraduate Theses
In the recent years, the world has experienced devastating losses due to terrorist attacks. Research in the fields of causes of terrorism is abundant, but the amount of research on the end of terrorism does not equally measure up. This paper aims to add to the research focused on analyzing the factors which cause terrorist groups to transition away from violence.
This paper introduces an original categorization of the factors which generate this transition. Factors belong to two categories: internal --decisions made by the terrorist organization, and external--actions or features pertaining to organization outside of non-terrorist organizations. These factors will ...
The Politics Of Mental Health: A Comparative Study Of Policy Adoption And Implementation In Germany And Japan, Luis Diego Campos
The Politics Of Mental Health: A Comparative Study Of Policy Adoption And Implementation In Germany And Japan, Luis Diego Campos
Honors Undergraduate Theses
In the aftermath of World War II, the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan followed Germany's blueprint in fashioning a universal health coverage system. Comparisons to Germany's welfare state during this same time period reveal markedly different social and mental health policy practices, as Germany's Christian Democratic Union and Social Democratic Party cooperated toward progressive policies while the Liberal Democratic Party largely neglected social welfare expansion. The effect of these practices is reflected in budgetary provisions, institutionalization practices, and mental health epidemiology. This research finds that a favorable economic climate allowed the Liberal Democratic Party to politically isolate ...
Is The Doctor In? The Effects Of Emigration On The Health Care Systems In Poland And Romania, Gabriela B. Wolk
Is The Doctor In? The Effects Of Emigration On The Health Care Systems In Poland And Romania, Gabriela B. Wolk
Honors Undergraduate Theses
The "brain drain" phenomenon encompasses the mass movement of highly educated individuals. Highly-skilled and well-educated migrants are moving to more developed and urban settings, often in search of a higher standard of living and better wages. Since joining the European Union and the Schengen Agreement, Poland and Romania have experienced significant emigration which has subsequently affected their health care systems. Motivations for emigrating from these two countries and the effects emigration has had on patients and other doctors will be considered. The paper also seeks to compare policy responses to the mass medical emigration phenomenon in both countries, as well ...
A Comparative Study: Women's Rights In Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, And Tajikistan, Megan A. Ginn
A Comparative Study: Women's Rights In Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, And Tajikistan, Megan A. Ginn
Honors Undergraduate Theses
After 1991 five countries emerged out of the fall of the Soviet Union to create a new region: Central Asia. No longer dominated by Soviet rule these countries fought to overcome barriers to independence and struggled to be seen by the international community as developed countries. However, these countries were far from developed and had to pay the high cost of human rights to get what they desired. This study researches and analyzes how Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan have traded the rights of women to achieve a placebo of development. Two of the largest violations of women's rights that ...

Veterans Day is the time to honor all American veterans for their courage and the sacrifices they have made for their nation. So, commemorate the day (November 11) by gifting a present to a veteran. This will make him feel that you appreciate the importance of his service to the nation. Aside from offering gifts to veterans, you may celebrate this occasion by getting your family and kids presents that'll inspire them to appreciate the service of veterans.
Gift a veteran a piece of patriotic lapel pin that's made of sterling silver plated with oxidized rhodium. Such a piece of jewelry may be adorned with syntheticsapphire and red and white cubic zirconia to enhance its look.
A commemorative watch made of stainless steel and embellished with golden accents can make a good choice for Veterans Day gifts. Just make sure the watch has patriotic motifs and engravings that show you indeed appreciate the service of the veteran for the nation.
Personalized garden flag: Gift your dear one a garden flag with the picture of an eagle. Such a flag should include blue, white, and red colors on one side to make it look like the U.S. national flag. This gift can be personalized by adding any message you'd prefer.
You may get your dear one who's a veteran a special keepsake such as a memorial ornament that comes with a golden ribbon loop which makes it easy to hang. This ornament is laser etched with the picture of the national flag. If you look for this gift in an online store, you can customize it by adding the veteran's name, rank, and important dates as well.
Get a veteran a set of travel mugs personalized with an image of the national flag. Choose travel mugs which are dishwasher and microwave safe as well as unbreakable. If you're looking to offer something to your family on November 11, these travel mugs are a good option for you to consider.
If you'd like to get a present for a guy who's a veteran, well then a tie and dye shirt with star and stripes just as in the U.S. national flag can be one of the interesting Veterans Day gift ideas. You may look for fabric that's comfortable to wear, such as cotton and make sure the three colors of the national flag – red, blue, and white are displayed through the shirt.
You can prepare peach and berry pie at home to celebrate November 11 even if you may not have a veteran at home. It's how you do something special for your family and make the kids aware of the importance of this occasion. The blueberries, raspberries, and peaches help create a recipe that includes all the colors of the national flag. So, it does help people recollect why November 11 is a special day.
There are organizations and institutions that pay their homage to veterans by planting trees in their honor. You too can do the same for a veteran who's close to you. If one of your family members is a veteran, well then you can plant a tree in your garden in his honor.
If you know some of the veteran's buddies, get written accounts of the wars they've fought and moments they've spent together. You may also have the buddies write a letter to the veteran and hand it over to you. You can actually have the letters and the memories written down in a letter book, thus creating a gift that a veteran will surely appreciate.
One of the Veterans Day gift ideas which are sure to impress the recipient is a patriotic desk accessory such as a glass paperweight that comes with the image of the national flag and a bald eagle design engraved on it. You can customize the gift by adding a statement like "Proud to be an American", which goes with the theme of November 11 observance.
A beautifully crafted American eagle pen holder along with stars and stripes (as in the national flag) rollerball pen makes a good combination for a gift you may offer on this occasion. Any veteran is sure to appreciate such a gift from you. Such a present is sure to impress and inspire any other person who receives it.
Get your dear one or a veteran a deluxe party kit which includes table cover in blue and white stripes, blue and red lunch napkins, beverage napkins, dinner plates, cups, spoons, and forks. A serving tray in blue and white stripes, a centerpiece, and stars confetti included in such a kit makes this gift even more valuable. Such a kit often comes with red and blue latex balloons, crepe streamers, and ribbons for your patriotic party decoration.
A basket of star, flag, and heart-shaped cookies are just ideal to make a veteran smile on this important day. Sharing such cookies with the veteran is a great way to thank him for his service to the nation.
A sterling silver plate necklace with the image of the U.S. national flag engraved on it is one of the interesting Veterans Day gifts that women would love to receive. The sterling silver plating is UV resistant and waterproof as well. The necklace may come in a black felt bag.
Alternatively, a men's or women's military awareness bracelet can also make an impressive gift for this occasion. You may find bracelets in sterling silver adorned with golden ribbon accents. Such a present is a thoughtful way to appreciate someone who serves the military, and it helps create a special memory for the recipient. You can make it more exciting by customizing it with text engraving that'll inspire the person while he or she is on deployment.
One of the Veterans Day gift ideas that the recipient may appreciate is a photo tote bag. Look for a tote bag online so that you can personalize it by adding a photo of your choice. You can have the photo of your veteran engraved there or you may choose any image that goes with the theme of this November 11 event.
These gifts will help you show your appreciation and express your gratitude to a veteran. You'll also be able to inspire your dear ones in understanding the importance of serving as a veteran.

Kiwi's learning about samoa
This week we had to do a movie about Samoa. What we are teaching people about is the similarities between Samoa and New Zealand. And to tell them what the capital city of Samoa is Apia Taunese is teaching us how to pronounce the words like saying hello in Samoan and thank you.
When people force you to do something
The hard things are when you say something and we do the idea then other people change it and say no lets do something else it is annoying.
Those are all the things I hate.

VW Group launches Electrify Canada
The network of charging stations is spreading across the continent.
When Electrify America revealed its map of proposed charging stations, I noted that this one initiative alone could go along way toward reducing range anxiety and increasing the viability of long-distance electric travel.
But that only applied within the United States.Now Volkswagen has announced that it is also launching Electrify Canada—a new company that will build an ultra-fast electric vehicle (EV) direct current (DC) charging network across Canada. The network is expected to be operational by 2019.
Crucially, according to the press release, the network looks set to incorporate two important trends we've seen emerging in the charging sector: namely multiple charging stations per location, as well as faster rate charging that's "future proofed" to meet the needs of cars that are only just now starting to come on the market:
The initial plan includes the installation of 32 EV charging sites near major highways and in major metro areas in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec. Each charging site will have four chargers on average and use the non-proprietary DC fast charging technologies (CCS and CHAdeMO). Charging power will range from 150kW to 350kW for the expected longer range, larger battery vehicles coming to market and will also deliver 50kW charging power to support today's EVs from all automotive manufacturers.
Presumably, the company will also follow in the footsteps of its cousin to the South and use convenient locations such as big box retailers as locations too, providing drivers with something to do as they plug in and charge up.
Maybe Lloyd will be able to realize his dream after all and get an electric VW microbus to drive across the country.
