Two months ago my sweet little girl was diagnosed with T1D. I have to say that she has been my biggest supporter in all of this. She is a champ! Rarely complains about a finger prick or a shot. She reminds me when I forget something and has taken over much of the job of managing her diabetes. Neither of us are ready for her to take the full reins yet but she amazes me! She does her BG checks almost entirely on her own now. She puts then needle on the pen and "gets it ready" meaning she primes the needle and dials up the selected amount for her injection. She changes "Lance" (the lancet on her lancing device) on her own.
I would also say that for both of us those that have gone before us have made a huge impact. Even if they are only a few months ahead of us on this crazy journey called diabetes. The parents and children with T1D and some adults with T1D have been amazing! Bekah's favorite two are Ella, a little girl her age who has been on her journey for 5 years (since she was a year old) and Holly, a diabetes educator at the hospital who has T1D. After our last visit with Holly, Bekah on two occasions almost gave herself a shot. If she wasn't afraid of doing it in her tummy she would have done it by now I'm sure. It is so awkward to try to give yourself a shot in the arm. She got super close twice though. Holly showed her how to do it by placing your arm on your knee and then the next time Bekah needed a shot wanted to try it herself. She got the needle to the skin and then couldn't go any further. I would definitely say that Holly had been amazing for Bekah! We have a few more education appt.s and I am hoping to be able to see Holly for all of them because Bekah has connected so well with her.
D is a family thing in our home. My husband is awesome! He gives Bekah her injections when she would prefer him do it. If he is home she at least wants to sit on his lap. I couldn't do this with out him by my side. He does the 2 AM checks because he is a night owl and I already get up to nurse David a couple of times a night. Our other kids are pretty great at understanding the changes we have had to make and especially how important it is to not eat in front of Bekah and trying to help her be brave. Megan especially. Meg even "told off" the neighbor girl for eating a Popsicle in front of Bekah the other day. Anything we do or go through is a family thing in our home so D is no different. I'm so proud of my family for the way they have rallied together.

U. T. at San Antonio was established in 1969 as an academic component of the University of Texas System. UTSA is one of the nation's most innovative metropolitan universities.
The University of Texas at Dallas is a young institution with a great and challenging future. It was created in 1969 on the foundation of the Graduate Research Center of the Southwest.
Founded in 1972, the University of
Texas-Houston Health Science Center is an institution of the health
sciences: medicine, dentistry, public health, nursing, allied health and
biomedical science.
The U. T. of the Permian Basin got its start in 1973 as an upper-level institution— offering junior, senior and masters level courses. In 1991, UTPB entered a new era when it became a traditional four-year university.
In October 1973 OPEC, in retaliation for U.S. and British support for Israel during the Yom Kippur War, began an oil embargo against certain Western nations, including the U.S. OPEC's influence over the next decade caused the price of crude oil to climb from approximately $4 per barrel in 1973 to a high of $39 per barrel in April of 1980.

A record 965 million people flew last year, DOT says
A record 965 million passengers flew on domestic or foreign airlines last year, the Transportation Department announced Thursday.
Southwest Airlines carried the most passengers with 157.7 million, and American Airlines had the most international passengers, according to the bureau.
Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport got the most passengers on planes with 50.2 million, despite a 0.5% drop from 2016, according to the bureau. New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport boarded the most international passengers.
The overall number of passengers represented a 3.4% gain from the 933 million in 2016, according to the bureau. There were 898.9 million passengers in 2015.

The gain last year included a 3% rise to 741.6 million domestic passengers and a 4.8% rise to 223.4 million passengers on flights to or from the U.S., according to the bureau.
The gains continued to build on a rise in passengers since the economic collapse of 2008 and 2009.
The top 10 airlines ranked by enplaned passengers were Southwest, Delta Air Lines with 145.6 million, American Airlines with nearly 144.9 million, United Airlines with 107.2 million, JetBlue Airways with 40 million, SkyWest with nearly 35.8 million, Alaska Airlines with nearly 26.1 million, Spirit Airlines with 23.8 million, Republic with 16.9 million and Frontier Airlines with 16.8 million.
The figures separate regional affiliates from their "mainline" partners. That means the passenger counts for airlines like American, Delta and United do not include passengers that fly on their respective American Eagle, Delta Connection and United Express partners that include SkyWest, Republic and others. In nearly all cases, regional carriers do not sell tickets for their own flights, leaving that function to their larger partners.
The top 10 airports for enplaned passengers were Atlanta, Los Angeles with nearly 41.2 million, Chicago O'Hare with 38.5 million, Dallas/Fort Worth with nearly 31.8 million, Denver with nearly 29.8 million, JFK with nearly 29.5 million, San Francisco with nearly 26.9 million, Las Vegas with nearly 23.2 million, Seattle with nearly 22.6 million and Charlotte with nearly 22 million.
The DOT count includes only "enplanements," or the number of passengers who board a plane at a given airport. It's one of two prominent counts of airline passengers. The other count, by Airports Council International (ACI), looks at the total number of passengers transiting an airport, including both arriving and departing passengers. That makes the ACI count higher. In 2016, for example, ACI credited Atlanta with processing more than 100 million passengers.
Back to the DOT's numbers, domestic flights remained as full last year as in 2016. The number of available-seat miles and the number of revenue-seat miles each grew 4.4%, according to the bureau. International flights grew slightly more full, averaging an 80.6 load factor up from 80.5 in 2016.

Back in 2015 my life was a mess. I would always get in trouble and anger my parents by doing something stupid and uncalled for. My mother and I would always get in arguments over the stupidest things too, like not washing my dishes or cleaning my laundry, one night was really bad though. My mother and I got into an argument because my room wasn't cleaned, even though she asked me to clean it multiple time throughout the week. She yelled at me for hours and hours, all I wanted was for her to leave me alone so I could clean the room in peace but she wouldn't.
Eventually I got so mad that I threatened to hit my mother. She went down stairs and told my step father what I did and we got into a wrestle match, which I lost. Afterwards my mother kicked me out of the house. I thought my life was over, I thought that this was the worst that it could possibly get and that there was no coming back from this. Until one day my mom signed me up for a program that changed my life. At first, I hated the thought of signing up for it, and to be honest I didn't want to go.
The first day I went there, I met this hilarious black woman from New Jersey named La Donna Harris. She insured my mother and I that we were in the right place, and that I would be a better person. She told me that there was no going back, I could only move forward from here. When my mother and I left I was happy and excited about what would come next. About a week or so later I was assigned to a mentor named Curtis Harris, and oh man he was the greatest person I have ever met.
Mr. Harris always made me laugh and it felt like he was part of my family. The advice he gave me, I will always cherish. I'm just glad that I met him because he turned my life around. Jump forward a few years and I just graduated high school. I received my diploma and I'm off to college in a month.
I couldn't have done any of this without my loving parents, Mr. Harris, and the TLC. If it weren't for them, who knows where I'd be. The Transforming Life Center is a place that can turn your life around, and even give you a new family. With them anything can happen, if they turned me around just think what they can do to you.

The University of Chicago will showcase leading contemporary artists on Thursday, Jan. 31 and Friday, Feb. 1. Over a 28-hour period, the campus will host one of the music world's most innovative performers, launch an exhibition that features some of the world's leading video artists, present a dialogue on the creative process of adaptation, and host a performance/conversation with one of Europe's most inventive conceptual artists.
The contemporary arts events begin at the University's Smart Museum of Art (5550 S. Greenwood Ave.), resume on Friday afternoon at the Cochrane-Woods Arts Center (5540 S. Greenwood Ave), and then move two blocks east to the University's Mandel Hall (131 E. 57th St).
"This winter contemporary arts showcase is all part of a huge range of contemporary arts coming to the University," said Larry Norman, the University's Deputy Provost for the Arts, and Associate Professor in Romance Languages and Literatures. "We're really excited about the synergies arising from these interconnected efforts."
The winter contemporary arts showcase is the kick-off of a season of contemporary events at the University of Chicago's Hyde Park campus. For more information on upcoming events at Chicago, please visit: arts.uchicago.edu.
1) 5:30 p.m. Smart Museum of Art
"Adaptation" – Contemporary artists discuss the art of adaptation
It's a common practice in popular culture: Moviegoers and booklovers routinely debate whether a film version is superior to the book version. But what's much less known is how adaptation works in the contemporary art world. How do visual artists reinterpret and re-imagine classical texts and musical scores? What obstacles and issues do they face?
Beginning Jan. 31, the Smart Museum will host "Adaptation: Video Installations by Ben-Ner, Herrera, Sullivan and Sussman & The Rufus Corporation" — one of the first exhibitions to feature the adaptations of some of the world's leading contemporary artists. These artists have transformed source materials to make their own adapted works of art, re-envisioning classic literature, painting, film, ballet, and even e-mail as new video installations.
The exhibition, which will run through May 4, features one or two video installations for each artist. Installations include: Guy Ben-Ner's "Moby Dick" (2000), adapted from the classic 1851 novel; Arturo Herrera's "Les Noces" (2007), an adaptation of Stravinsky's ballet, and Eve Sussman's and The Rufus Corporation's feature-length contemporary retelling of the Roman myth "The Rape of the Sabine Women" which was inspired, in part, by Jacques-Louis David's 1799 painting, "The Intervention of the Sabine Women," an earlier retelling of the myth. "Adaptation" also features two pieces from Catherine Sullivan, Assistant Professor of Visual Arts at Chicago. Sullivan's "Triangle of Need," which she created with a dancer/choreographer and a composer, is a multichannel, multilayered video installation that combines elements as seemingly disparate as figure skating, prehistoric communication and e-mail scams in a work that investigates evolution, wealth, poverty and the global economy.
On Thursday, Jan. 31, at 5:30 the Smart will host a panel discussion with three of the exhibiting artists, moderated by Stephanie Smith, the museum's Director of Collections and Exhibitions and Curator of Contemporary Art. The forty-five minute conversation, free and open to the public, will delve into the process used by the artists Guy Ben-Her, Arturo Herrera and Catherine Sullivan to transform their sources into their own adapted work. Visitors will get a chance to gain insight into the practice of adaptation in a contemporary art, Smith said, and how visual artists deal with issues of creativity and fidelity.
A reception celebrating the exhibition's opening follows the panel discussion. For more information on the exhibition, and the artists, please visit smartmuseum.uchicago.edu.
High-resolution images of the works in the exhibition are available online at: smartmuseum.uchicago.edu/pressroom.
2) 6 p.m., Cochrane-Woods Arts Center, Room 157
Guillaume Désanges – French artist, critic, curator presents "Vox artisti" His Masters' Voices
Just 24 hours after the opening of "Adaptation," art aficionados will have a chance to hear from one of the most original thinkers in the European art world. Guillaume Désanges is a curator and art critic — he works with magazines such as Exit Express, Exit Book in Madrid and Trouble Magazine — but he's also the co-founder of Work Method, a Paris-based agency for artistic projects, and he's a performance artist. Désanges worked with the Swiss artist Thomas Hirschorn on the 24th Foucault Project. He also developed several performed projects like "A history of performance in 20 minutes" that was exhibited in leading contemporary art museums, such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris and De Appel Institute in Amsterdam.
Désanges, who is the invited curator this year at the Centre d'Art Contemporain La Tolerie in France, will begin by presenting his 45-minute performance "Vox artisti: His Masters' Voices" at 5 p.m. Working with hundreds of excerpts picked up from sound archives — everything from artists performances, to art conferences, interviews with artists, documentaries about artists — Désanges has created a unique conversation about art.
Delivered in the format of lecture, and first presented last year at the "TROUBLE" festival in Belgium, the aim of "Vox Artisti" is to propose a personal statement about the relationship between the voice and the visual arts. It's an effect that Désanges describes as "an artificial dialogue between ghosts."
"He's included thousands of little trips of sounds from artists," said Manol Georgieff, a graduate student at Chicago, who is coordinating the event. Conversations span the world of contemporary art — from a Marcel Duchamp interview in 1961 to a Yoko Ono podcast to a 2006 conference at Washington's Hirschorn Museum. "It's a really unique opportunity for those of who live and breathe contemporary art," said Georgieff.
Immediately following the performance, Désanges will participate in an open discussion. For more information on Désanges, please visit: cas.uchicago.edu/workshops/contemporaryart/
3) 7:30 p.m, Mandel Hall, 131 E. 57th St.
DBR and DJ Scientific concert, followed by a conversation with DBR
A classical violinist paired with a disc jockey; a hip-hop infused opera. Chamber works, rock songs, electronica and funk. A multimedia collage of YouTube and MySpace clips paired with a six-string violin, piano and electronics.
It's all the product of an artist the New York Times says is "about as omnivorous as a contemporary artist gets." Daniel Bernard Roumain, or DBR, as he's known — the composer, performer, classical violinist, and band leader who is renowned for constantly re-interpreting music — will visit campus for a concert at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 1, in Mandel Hall.
Immediately following the performance of DBR and DJ Scientific, Travis Jackson, Associate Professor of American Music in Music and the College, will moderate a discussion session.
"He's fascinating," said Shauna Quill, Executive Director of the University of Chicago Presents. "He performs, he composes. He's a multimedia artist. He brings contemporary life into his program," she said. "And everything he does is so thoughtful. For lack of a better word," said Quill, "he's at the pinnacle of cool in the music world."
As a composer, DBR's pieces have ranged from orchestral scores and chamber works to rock songs and electronica. As a violinist, he has worked with artists spanning the gamut — from DJ Spooky and Vernon Reid to Savion Glover, Susan Sarandon and Cassandra Wilson. DBR has also collaborated with numerous orchestras and chamber ensembles.
A classically trained composer who earned a Ph.D. in music composition from the University of Michigan, DBR will be performing songs from his latest release "etudes4violin&electronix." Of DBR's latest, the Boston Globe's Steve Greenlee wrote, "One minute you'll think he's a classical musician, the next a jazz improviser. Then you'll think he's into electronica or ambient noise. Truth is, all of these descriptions apply over the course of his new nine-track album." For ticket information, please call 773-702-8080.

Android is the most popular and used a mobile operating system that was developed by Google Company. It was based on the modification of Linux Kernel and the other Open Source Software and was designed majorly for the touchscreen mobile devices including Smartphones and tablets. Also, Google has gone a step further and developed Android TV for the televisions, the Android Auto for the Cars and the Wear OS for the wrist watches. It is very important to note that each has a specialized user Interface. Keep on reading to learn more on the net worth and earnings of Android in 2020.
Android Inc. was created in Palo Alto, California in the year 2003 by Rich Miner and Andy Rubin, Nick Sears, and White Chris. Rubin has described this project as a project with a lot of potentials in the development of the smarter devices. In the beginning, the intentions were to ensure that the digital cameras are running on a more advanced operating system. This is what made many investors put so much resource into this project. After some time, they sat down, and after seeing that the market share of digital cameras was not large enough, they diverted the attention to creating a mobile operating system that would compete with Symbian and the Microsoft Windows Mobile.
Google has developed android until the latest changes and updates that have been made on source code and is available on the Android Open Source Project. AOSP code is available for any modification that may be needed to be made. Each year, Google Company has been announcing major changes on the Android. These updates are done to enhance the operations of this OS. The latest release is Pie, and it was officially released in August 2018. Android has proprietary software that has been developed by Google including Gmail and the Google Search.
Compared to its rival operating system, Apple iOS, the updates reaches the various devices with some delays. Except for the devices with Google Nexus as well as Pixel Brands, its updates often arrive months later after the release of the new version. This is mainly contributed by Hardware variance in the numerous devices. Most of the manufacturers always give priority to the new devices in comparison to the old ones.
Android is the best-selling Operating system in the world running on the smartphones since the year 2011, and it started to run on the tablets in 2013. As of 2017, there were more two billion users of this android system every single day. Google has added Google Play store where many people can find apps that they want. All that one is required is to download the apps and install them.
Net Worth & Earnings
The net worth of Android is estimated to be over $2.5 billion or around 0.7% of the Google Enterprise value. It has become the most dominant operating system taking control of a large share of the market war by a landslide. Android has been a conduit of Google apps such as Search as well as Gmail.

My journey as a basketball player, journeys of other people in this world, and the great strides and the difficulties people face everyday in this thing called life. I also talk about whatever I feel like. Whether it be from music, sports, fashion and etc. I give my honest opinion, and it doesn't matter what the subject is, I will tell the truth always whether you agree or disagree. The truth is no longer wanted in society and people feel comfortable about being apart of the "norm" and are blinded by this fake society we live in. Which is not cool.

KARACHI: Sindh Minister for Transport Mumtaz Hussain Jakhrani on Thursday dispelled rumours regarding withdrawal of Japanese company, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), from Karachi Circular Railway project.
Talking to media at his office, Jakhrani said that neither there was a written nor an oral withdrawal sent to Sindh government by JICA. "All stakeholders, including JICA and provincial and federal governments, are interested in completing this project in order to provide relief to the masses," he said.
The minister said that Sindh government's committee to prepare proposals on KCR project, headed by the Karachi Commissioner, met different stakeholders and encroachers and devised a plan to clear the 8-km long KCR track from encroachers. "The committee's proposals on KCR would be given final nod in the next meeting between Minister Railways Khawaja Saad Rafique and Chief Minister Sindh."
To a query regarding delay in tax exemption on equipment to JICA from Sindh government, he said that the cabinet had approved the exemption while the summary for the exemption would be signed soon after encroachment on the KCR track is cleared and JICA would agree to bring its equipment.
He said that the provincial government was committed to complete KCR project within the tenure of the current government and there was no hindrance from any quarter in this regard.
He said that the provincial government was sincere in resolving transport issues of the city and said that not only KCR project but the government had also approved 380 buses to be run on Karachi roads.
"In this mass transit project, we will be launching three colour buses which included yellow line, green line and red line," adding that the government had invited tenders and the successful bidders would be given tender in 45 days and the project will be completed within five-years.
He said that not only for Karachi but 100 buses will also be run within different cities of Sindh and their process had also begun and it would be completed soon.
The minister said he visited Lahore to find out drawbacks in Metro Bus Project in order to avoid those mistakes in mass transit project in Sindh.
The post Minister dispels rumours about JICA withdrawal from KCR Project appeared first on Pakistan Press International.

Dr. Krugman's article "Trump And The Aristocracy of Fraud Government: A Govenment of Tax Cheats, by Tax Cheats, for Tax Cheats" in the NYT Oct 4, 2018 is very much worth reading. Here are some excerpts:
The blockbuster New York Times report on the Trump family's history of fraud is really about two distinct although linked kinds of fraudulence.
On one side, the family engaged in tax fraud on a huge scale, using a variety of money-laundering techniques to avoid paying what it owed. On the other, the story Donald Trump tells about his life — his depiction of himself as a self-made businessman who made billions starting from humble roots — has always been a lie: Not only did he inherit his wealth, receiving the equivalent of more than $400 million from his father, but Fred Trump bailed his son out after deals went bad.
Until recently, my guess is that most economists, even tax experts, would have agreed that tax avoidance by corporations and the wealthy — which is legal — was a big issue, but tax evasion — hiding money from the tax man — was a lesser one. It was obvious that some rich people were exploiting legal if morally dubious loopholes in the tax code, but the prevailing view was that simply defrauding the tax authorities and hence the public wasn't that widespread in advanced countries.
But this view always rested on shaky foundations. After all, tax evasion, almost by definition, doesn't show up in official statistics, and the super-wealthy aren't in the habit of mouthing off about what great tax cheats they are. To get a real picture of how much fraud is going on, you either have to do what The Times did — exhaustively investigate the finances of a particular family — or rely on lucky breaks that reveal what was previously hidden.
Two years ago, a huge lucky break came in the form of the Panama Papers, a trove of data leaked from a Panamanian law firm that specialized in helping people hide their wealth in offshore havens, and a smaller leak from HSBC. While the unsavory details revealed by these leaks made headlines right away, their true significance has only become clear with work done by Berkeley's Gabriel Zucman and associates in cooperation with Scandinavian tax authorities.
Matching information from the Panama Papers and other leaks with national tax data, these researchers found that outright tax evasion actually is a big deal at the top. The truly wealthy end up paying a much lower effective tax rate than the merely rich, not because of loopholes in tax law, but because they break the law. The wealthiest taxpayers, the researchers found, pay on average 25 percent less than they owe — and, of course, many individuals pay even less.
This is a big number. If America's wealthy evade taxes on the same scale (which they almost surely do), they're probably costing the government around as much as the food stamp program does. And they're also using tax evasion to entrench their privilege and pass it on to their heirs, which is the real Trump story.
The obvious question is, what are our elected representatives doing about this epidemic of cheating? Well, Republicans in Congress have been on the case for years: They've been systematically defunding the Internal Revenue Service, crippling its ability to investigate tax fraud. We don't just have government by tax cheats; we have government of tax cheats, for tax cheats.
What we're learning, then, is that the story of what's happening to our society is even worse than we thought. It's not just that the president of the United States is, as veteran tax reporter David Cay Johnston put it, a "financial vampire," cheating taxpayers the way he has cheated just about everyone else who deals with him.
Beyond that, our trend toward oligarchy — rule by the few — is also looking more and more like kakistocracy — rule by the worst, or at least the most unscrupulous. The corruption isn't subtle; on the contrary, it's cruder than almost anyone imagined. It also runs deep, and it has infected our politics, quite literally up to its highest levels.

'Zellige' takes its name from the Arabic expression for mosaic tilework, one of the most notable aspects of Moroccan architecture. When creating the design, Martyn and the Cole and Son studio were keen to retain the feel of real ceramic glazed Moroccan tiles and so the design has been hand-rendered to retain a beautiful, organic texture. Staying true to a traditional north African-style palette, Zellige is presented in China Blue and White, Olive and Print Room Blue, Spice and Charcoal, and the monochromatic Soot and Snow.

The Expendables
By Ian Forbes
No Comments
This is one hell of a Bar Mitzvah!
Theatrical Release Date: 08/13/2010
Director: Sylvester Stallone
Cast: Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Roberts, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, David Zayas, Giselle Itié, Charisma Carpenter, Gary Daniels, Terry Crews, Mickey Rourke
"How are you here?" – "I just am." Although these lines aren't uttered until well into the film, it basically sums up the testosterone fueled, explosion laden and action star-studded "The Expendables". Written, directed, and starring Sylvester Stallone, it takes a simple premise (mercenaries for hire) and gives the intended demographic what they want (punching, kicking, shooting, stabbing, other violent words that end with 'ing').
A good portion of the action star hall of fame cast list is included, with Stallone gathering Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Roberts, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, Terry Crews and Mickey Rourke all together. Those who've seen the trailer know that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis make appearances as well, though as one could have surmised, they are super small cameos so don't go into this hoping for a nostalgic Commando/Die Hard situation to arise.
Each of the main cast members get featured throughout, though Rourke is essentially the old gunslinger who's left the life behind and merely waxes poetic about the loss of humanity in their line of work and the final stand for Eric Roberts doesn't involve him going shirtless in a coliseum mine field with a tiger roaming free as Jean-Claude Van Damme exacts revenge (for all its faults, "Double Team" does give the world this amazing scenario).
Speaking of which, although there's plenty of ass kicking on display, enough explosions to keep a pyrotechnics company afloat in this economy, and cheesy, fun banter between the cast, it doesn't mean the audience was fully satiated. There's a glaring lack of gratuitous nudity (if you're going to exploit this genre, go for the gold) and the film tries a bit too hard sometimes to be more than anyone wants it to be. Whenever the script tries to grow a brain and moralize the situation at hand or develop a story, we get some 'deep' collection of words that only have us clamoring for the next bit of action to start up as quickly as possible.
Now, some of the fun afterwards is talking with friends about people that should have made the cut. There are significant actors in the genre missing from the cast list; Van Damme turned down a role (huge mistake and it makes me sad) but there's also no Chuck Norris, Danny Trejo, Kurt Russell, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Michael Dudikoff, Jeff Speakman, Steven Seagal, etc. etc. However, you can't cast them all (for budgetary and script reasons) and it does give any sequel ideas plenty of names to include so maybe we'll see it come to fruition if this finds enough success at the box office.
The bottom line is that "The Expendables" delivers (for the most part) on the premise and it's just fun to watch this conglomeration of muscles do their thing. A 3.5 out of 5, there could have been a few more fight scenes and much less talking but there's finally an action film deserving of its genre for us to enjoy and Stallone has created a franchise well worthy of getting the sequel treatment.
Update 8/13/2010
Thanks to IMDb's trivia section: Kurt Russell said no to a role because he wasn't interestd in "ensemble acting at the moment" and Seagal turned down a cameo because of issues with one of the producers … I wondered how they were able to film in Jefferson Parish, LA where he's an actual police officer and somehow didn't shoehorn him into a scene. Between this and JCVD refusing to participate, my nostalgic heart is breaking.

One of the best things about taking driving lessons in Peterborough, UK is the wide variety of driving conditions available. Places like Oundle Road, Eyebury Road, Mayor's Walk, and London Road offer great opportunities to practice driving. These regions are away from hustle and bustle of Norwich City Centre, yet not too far away.
Getting Started
You need to have a provisional driving licence before you can begin your driving lessons. There are 3 parts to passing your driving test:
• The Theory Test: The theory test involves multiple choice questions. These are usually about 35 random questions that you will be required to answer using touch screen technology. You need to get at least 30 right to pass the test.
• Hazard Perception Test: For the hazard perception test, you will be asked to review 14 one-minute video clips each showing the potential hazards that are common when driving. You should successfully identify the hazards; the faster you are able to do this, the higher your score. You need to score a minimum of 44 points out of a possible 75 to pass the Hazard Perception test.
• Practical Driving Test: The practical driving test is conducted over a 40 minute period. You will be asked to complete four basic driving maneuvers including reverse parallel park, reverse corner, turn in the road and bay park. The instructor will ask you to execute random emergency stops. Many driving instructors prefer using dual control cars so that they can help their students if they make some wrong moves.
Taking driving lessons and driving tests in Norwich, UK is not really as hard as some people make it out to be. Many students often fail to execute easy maneuvers despite having had thorough practice prior to taking the test due to nerves. But once you relax and concentrate and you will find that driving can be plenty of fun.

Dear Ambassadors and members of the Lisbon diplomatic community
Dear Representatives of the Portuguese authorities
Ladies and gentlemen, dear colleagues and friends
It is my great pleasure to welcome you today, together with the Chairman of the EMCDDA Management Board Dr João Goulão, to this reception celebrating International day against drug abuse and illicit trafficking. I am really glad to see, that this year again, you — the diplomatic community in Lisbon, our partners from the Portuguese authorities and the EU bodies in Portugal — have joined us in large numbers.
International day against drug abuse and illicit trafficking was established by the United Nations in 1987 to strengthen action and cooperation in tackling the drugs problem and in creating safer and healthier societies across the world.
The slogan chosen by the United Nations for this year is: Make health your 'new high' in life, not drugs. Marking the day, the UNODC launches at the same time as our gathering here its World drug report 2013, which, this year, has quite a strong focus on new psychoactive substances.
As most of you are aware, the issue of new psychoactive substances has been at the heart of the EMCDDA's work for some years already.
Last year alone, a total of 73 new psychoactive substances were officially notified via the EU early warning system that we run with Europol. This early warning system was recently acknowledged in a G8 statement of intent on collecting and sharing data on new psychoactive substances.
This week (27–28 June), we are co-hosting with Europol — here at the newly named 'Praça Europa' — the Third international multidisciplinary forum on new drugs.
This Third forum will build on the results of the first forum, which the EMCDDA organised in Lisbon in 2011, and the second, co-organised with the US National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the EMCDDA in Palm Springs in 2012.
Almost half of the year is over and I must say that up until now, 2013 has been a particularly challenging one for the EMCDDA. Let me just mention a few of the highlights:
Ladies and gentlemen, Before I conclude, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the new Director of EMSA Markku Mylly, who is at this event for the first time, for the breath of fresh air he has given to the cooperation between our two EU agencies.
And I would also like to acknowledge once again the constant support we receive from the Portuguese authorities — in particular the Parliament, Government, the Municipality of Lisbon and the Lisbon Port Authority — and the productive working relationship we have forged with them. Not wishing to go into more detail here, I cannot avoid mentioning the administrative services of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and of Finance — their continuing support contributes significantly to facilitating our work.
Thank you.

idea: sharing net connection, method: iptables..., problem: broken net connection :(
I just got running a very beautifull redhat9 installation with everything the way i wanted it, ADSL setup and running like a beauty
I decided to try and share my ADSL connection with a windowsXP client on the network (192.168.0.2) - my internal IP is 192.168.0.3
I typed in these commands (okay not fully understanding what they do :P) from a tutorial,
now however, even though my ADSL modem is connected (apparently) i get "unknown host" whenever i try and do anything,
i think all the packets are being dropped/denied probably because of the daft rules i put in there..
can you say :newbie: :P
anyway, it's teaching me humility but asides from that, i really dont want to reinstall again (have had to do that three times now due to this same thing - setting up IP masquerading)
now ive decided to boot into XP to see if someone here can help me with my problem (hopefully)
is there any way to flush the IPTables rules or disable Iptables (as a short term solution) or perhaps delete the rules I inputed and put in the correct ones?
if you want to flush your iptable rules, while root, type 'iptables --flush' (without the quotes). It would help though, if you posted more informations, such as which commands you entered exactly, and which tutorial you're using. If we know what you've modified, we can help you better.
I can tell you though, that connection sharing in Linux is just a matter of setting up NAT correctly. It's a little confusing at first, but once you get used to it, it's a cake walk.
just to get the setup straight:
is the XP computer connected directly to the RH box
and if so, it is with a X-over cable right, and not the
regular straight through.
yeah it's physically connected properly with a crossover cable
i beleive the things i typed in where echo > (insert stuff here to turn on IPV4 forwarding :P)
then something else (sorry not being too helpfull here, ill try and find it)
would rpm -e iptables help or would it destroy any chance my machine has of connecting :P
its really strange because now ppoe can't even connect..
ok at the very least you should be able to ping just from putting
the cable connection in and having them on the same subnet
192.168.0.X. Try that without being connected to the internet. Just
hook up the 2 computers, get the IP stuff straight, and try to ing
between the 2.

Iran says US waivers for 'illegal' sanctions have no credit: Spokesman
Iran says it gives no credit to a US decision to eliminate the waivers that allowed importers to buy Iranian oil despite Washington's sanctions, stressing Tehran has been in touch with European partners and neighbors to counter any adverse consequences of the move.
"Given the illegal nature of these sanctions, the Islamic Republic of Iran has not given and will not give any value or credit to these sanctions waivers," Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abbas Moussavi said on Monday.
"However, with regard to the practical negative effects of these sanctions and a possible rise in these negative impacts after [US] refusal to renew the waivers, the Foreign Ministry has been in constant touch with all relevant domestic institutions and has held comprehensive consultations with many foreign partners, including Europeans, international [ones] and neighbors," he added, noting Iran would make a proper decision in this regard and announce it soon, Presstv reported.
In a statement issued on Monday, the White House said US President Donald Trump has decided not to renew waivers that allow eight countries to buy Iranian oil without facing Washington's sanctions.
The White House said that the US president would not reissue Significant Reduction Exceptions (SREs) when they expire in early May, a move aimed at bringing Iran's oil exports to zero.
"The United States, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates ... along with our friends and allies, are committed to ensuring that global oil markets remain adequately supplied," the White House statement said, adding, "We have agreed to take timely action to assure that global demand is met as all Iranian oil is removed from the market."

Okay, so here we are strolling into the middle of Week 3 of the fantasy season and most everyday players are at least 50 at-bats into their season. Right about now is when we start wondering if we wasted early picks on duds, if our reaches were the byproduct of over-exuberant man-crushes, or if our late-round sleepers were simply ingenious.
I am going to profile some players who are either outproducing their ADP or failing to live up to it, and occasionally, I'll compare one player with a high ADP to a cheaper alternative who is producing similarly or at a higher level currently. I will also provide a prediction as to whether or not the profiled player's current production will continue for better or worse, or if instead he'll regress back to career norms.
Playing with House Money: 2 ADP Overachievers
Angel Pagan, SF - OF
Current Rank: 42
From 2010 -2012 between the Mets and Giants, Pagan swiped 98 bases, averaging 32.6 SB per season over that three-year span. A hamstring injury put a big damper on Pagan's 2013 campaign, during which he totaled a mere nine steals over 71 games. Now healthy, Pagan has come out of the gates scorching hot, hitting .383 with 10 RBI and 2 SB. More interesting tidbits on Pagan: his average with men on base is over .400, and even better yet, his average with RISP jumps up close to .450. Some caveats, though: he is slightly injury prone and is now 32 years of age.
Prediction: He will obviously come down to Earth, as his near .400 BA is not sustainable, however his K% and BB% are currently on par with career averages. He could easily surpass his 2014 ADP and be a great value pick if he can swipe 30+ bases leading off for the Gigantes.
Charlie Blackmon, COL - OF
Current Rank: 17
Widely undrafted coming into 2014 due to a crowded Colorado outfield coming out of spring training, the 27-year-old Blackmon has started the season sporting a whopping .442 average with a homer, 9 RBI and 4 SB. After surprisingly amassing 258 plate appearances in 2013, during which he hit .309 with 6 bombs and 7 SB, Blackmon has separated himself from his centerfield platoon mates. Possessing minimal power with plus speed, Blackmon profiles as a poor man's Adam Eaton.
Prediction: Blackmon is playing over his head, however with nearly everyday at-bats, he has a chance to showcase his 15/15 power speed combo. His walk rate and strikeout rate both sit at 4% currently, and the BA is not sustainable. If he continues to see at-bats, though, he very well could be a valuable #4 or #5 OF in deep roto leagues.
You're killin me Smalls! Two ADP Underachievers, AKA Buy Lows, AKA Sleepers
Edwin Encarnacion, 3B - TOR
Current Rank: 762
E5 has been one of the top run producers in baseball since 2010, averaging 39 homers and and 107 RBI over the two-year span. Unfortunately, owners who spent a second-round pick on the slugger have been given little to show for their investment thus far. Encarnacion is currently sporting a .241 BA with a goose egg in the home run column and a dainty 3 RBI through 50 at bats. A wrist injury coming into 2014 may be partially to blame for his underwhelming start, and owners have to be concerned. He's striking out over 21.8% of the time, which is certainly worrisome, but his .120 ISO is bound to come up to around .200 where it belongs.
Prediction: The power will come for E5. His average is never a strong point, but you can bank on a rebound. Heck, if frustrated owners are willing to deal him on the cheap, you should jump all over it.
Homer Bailey, CIN - SP
Current Rank: 1228 ouch!
There's not much to say about Homer Bailey, except that he's living up to his first name in the early going. His HR/FB rate is sitting at a ridiculous 60.0%. Yeah, that's not made up. Some home run derby pitchers have posted better numbers. Of the 10 fly balls he's given up, 6 have left the yard. There is quite possibly a simple explanation to his early struggles. He got a late start in spring training and his out pitch, the curveball, is getting slaughtered. Professional hitters will exploit the weaknesses of a pitcher who is a few weeks behind. Through 14.1 IP, Bailey's ERA is enormous at 8.16 and his WHIP sits north of 2.0, but his K% is promisingly up at 10.67%.
Prediction: Bailey will find his groove and revert back to being a top performing starter. The only question is how long will owners have to wait? I would advise keeping him in your lineup, because he could flip the switch at any time. Once he finds the handle on his off-speed offerings, he will once again be a roto beast. Send offers to his owner and hope he or she has a moment of weakness.
Look what I can do! Cheap Copycats
Jose Abreu, CHW - 1B
Current stats: ..217/..324/.500, 4 HR, 14 RBI
Abreu was a shot in the dark on draft day but he is outproducing the likes of Chris Davis, Prince Fielder, Joey Votto and aforementioned Edwin Encarnacion. If you were the owner who took the plunge and put fantasy dollars down on this Cuban crusher you are one happy hombre. He looks like a slugger primed to power up in his rookie campaign and his BA should rise in no time.

Good Morning,
I am having difficulty getting the lutron Graik Eye 3000 and the GX-RS232 to connect to the Global Cache 100
When I open up the RS232 box LED 1 is blinking which means its talking to the Grafik Eye 3000. But once I plug the rs232 into the global cache and use the drivers supplied by iRule there is no response. Does anyone have files or xml drivers that I can use? I have checked with my Cisco guy and the internal network is wide open so there is no ports being blocked
Thanks ahead of time.

Fast Lane (Bad Meets Evil song)
"Fast Lane" is the lead single by hip hop duo Bad Meets Evil, a group composed of Royce da 5'9" and Eminem, from their first EP Hell: The Sequel. The single was produced by Eminem, Supa Dups, and Jason "JG" Gilbert, and released on May 3, 2011 by Shady Records. Texas rapper Chamillionaire released a remix. A music video was created by director James Larese of music video direction group Syndrome. The music video features animated visuals and kinetic typography, with cameo appearances by Mr. Porter and Slaughterhouse. Fans and critics considered it a return to Eminem's Slim Shady alter ego.

|Midwest hip hop
|Bad Meets Evil singles chronology
The song was well received compared to the rest of the EP and was considered a highlight of Hell: The Sequel.[1] Critics favored the song for its change from Eminem's theme in Recovery. Rolling Stone called it "1999-style".[2] Bad Meets Evil performed this song at the 2011 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival and the Lollapalooza music festival.
Bad Meets Evil first formed in 1998.[3] The group's first single under the name was "Nuttin' to Do" / "Scary Movies".[4] However, the group went their own separate ways in late 2002.[5] Royce da 5'9" and Eminem have since collaborated on other songs, but not under the name "Bad Meets Evil".[5] In late 2010, Eminem and Royce da 5'9" began collaborating as Bad Meets Evil after 11 years of inactivity within the group.[6] "Fast Lane" was released as the lead single for their then-upcoming extended play, titled Hell: The Sequel. The song was released May 3, 2011 by Shady Records.[7]
"Fast Lane" was recorded by Mike Strange at Effigy Studios, in Ferndale, Michigan.[8] Recorded a few months before its release, the song was written by Eminem, and Sly "Pyper" Jordan (from "Seduction" and "Kush"), who also sings the chorus to the song.[9][10] According to an interview with MTV, Eminem requested that Sly perform the chorus, after hearing Dr. Dre's "Kush".[10] Supa Dups and Jason "JG" Gilbert produced the song and Eminem and Mike Strange mixed the song.[8][9] JG and Supa Dups also sample their own vocals.[9] According to Supa Dups, he was asked to make a beat with JG, without knowing it was for Bad Meets Evil.[9] He said that "[They] didn't even have Eminem in mind [when they made the beat]."[9] According to this interview with Mixtape Daily, Supa Dups had little knowledge about the project, but simply submitted the beat to Eminem:
I didn't even know the project was coming out. I didn't know what the beat was for; I just knew Eminem asked me for the files and I sent it to them. ... When I saw Eminem in L.A. for Grammy weekend, Eminem said, 'Yeah, he ripped the track.' Later on that day, I met Royce, and Royce was like, 'Yeah, download that track man. We ripped that track. That's the first single.' I was like, 'What?' But until then, I still wasn't sure.[9]
Months after recording the song, on April 28, 2011, when it leaked onto the Internet, Supa Dups was impressed by the finished version, "I was like, 'Damn, this record is crazy.'" He was impressed by the song, lyrically, and was proud to have participated in the project.[9] "Fast Lane" is a midwestern hip hop song.[11] It has two main parts to the song. The first half of the four-minute song begins with a verse performed by Royce da 5'9", followed by Eminem's verse.[12] After the chorus, the second half has two verses by each rapper, followed by the chorus for the final time.[12]
Critical receptionEdit
"Fast Lane" was received favorably by critics. Upon the release on the EP, Hell: The Sequel, Billboard editor Jason Lipshutz published a track-by-track review. According to Lipshutz, "Fast Lane" is "G-funk on steroids, with sing-song refrain breaking up crushing mic-trading bout between Royce da 5'9" and Eminem."[1] He also referred to "Fast Lane" as one of the highlight songs of the album. Rolling Stone gave a positive review. According to Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone, "Eminem kicks 'Fast Lane' 1999-style, reconnecting with the hungry young lunatic who sounded like he only had a stanza to blow us away or it was back to the auto plant."[13] Dolan also commented on the infamous lyric "I hope that I don't sound too heinous when I say this, Nicki Minaj, but I wanna stick my penis in your anus," saying that Eminem has been much more heinous before. According to Kyle Anderson of Entertainment Weekly, Royce da 5'9" performs extremely well on the "hard-hitting" song, even calling him a "lyrical beast".[14] Although music website Consequence of Sound gave a rather mixed review on the EP as a whole, editor Winston Robbins favored "Fast Lane" and said that it is "hands down one of the best hip-hop tracks of 2011" and that the rapping is "second to none".[15]
Music videoEdit
The music video was directed by James Larese of collective group Syndrome, a group that also directed videos for two other Eminem songs: "3 a.m." and "Crack a Bottle".[16][17] A 40-second video teaser was released on May 27, 2011, on Eminem's YouTube channel, which shows the part of the video during the first time the chorus plays, confirming Sly Jordan's appearance in the video and the use of cartoon animation.[18] In an interview with Bootleg Kev, Royce da 5'9" revealed that a lot of the ideas for the animated visuals featured in the music video were Eminem's ideas.[19] The video was first expected to release on May 31, 2011. However, the date was delayed. The video premiered on June 8, 2011, at noon EST on VEVO and Bad Meets Evil's official website.[20]
The music video features animated visuals of the lyrics and kinetic typography of some lyrics, with the duo rapping in a warehouse-like setting. Royce da 5'9" and Eminem both interact with the animations and occasionally hold and use them as actual objects. When transitioning between rappers, Eminem and Royce push each other out when it is their turn. Notable scenes include a cartoon blonde girl who gets 'drowned' by Eminem, inside a fish-bowl and then decapitated. Another scene includes Bad Meets Evil riding a green animated car, crashing into several obstacles, during the chorus. Sly Jordan appears in the video, singing the chorus. The music video features cameo appearances from American rapper and producer Mr. Porter of D12, who lip syncs part of the chorus, and members of hip hop supergroup Slaughterhouse near the end of the video. Near the end of the video, Royce and Eminem try to stand in front of each other for attention. The video ends with them being pushed out of the way by the Bad Meets Evil logo. The video became notable for its humorous content.[21]
Live performancesEdit
Eminem and Royce da 5'9" made their debut live performance as Bad Meets Evil for "Fast Lane" and "Lighters" at the 2011 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival.[22] According to James Montgomery of MTV, "what stood out the most about Em[inem]'s performance was the sheer tenacity with which he attacked it." Other than Royce, he was also accompanied by his hypeman Mr. Porter of D12 and performed wearing a black Bad Meets Evil T-shirt, under a black hoodie.[22] The duo's performance was complemented by the "Fast Lane" music video playing in the background.[23] "Fast Lane" was performed with Porter on the second day of Lollapalooza 2011, which took place in Chicago.[24] The song was referred to by Gil Kaufman of MTV as a "low-rider anthem".[25] Prior to the performance, Eminem changed into the Bad Meets Evil T-shirt.[25]
Remixes and appearances in other mediaEdit
Texas rapper Chamillionaire recorded a remix of the song which was released on May 8, 2011.[26] The song was not officially released to iTunes, however. The remix features two added verses by Chamillionaire between Eminem's and Royce Da 5'9"'s verses; one before the first time the chorus plays, and another verse after the chorus.[26] He also replaces Sly Jordan with a modified chorus with different lyrics. The remix is five and a half minutes long.[26]
The track was featured on both the soundtracks of the 2011 film Real Steel,[27][28] and on 2K Sports' NBA 2K12.[29] The track was also used for HBO's Entourage season 8 trailer[30] and the Extended First Look trailer for Fast & Furious 6.[31] The song was featured in the Final Fantasy XV trailer "Ride Together'
