Michael Brown is dead. No video can bring him back.
As the world remembers, Brown was the unarmed 18-year-old black man killed in a violent 2014 altercation with Officer Darren Wilson, who is white — making Ferguson, Missouri, famous.
Or rather, infamous.
With little information, folks quickly picked sides. Some claimed Brown was gunned down in cold blood with his hands up, yelling, "Don't shoot." After seeing footage from a convenience store surveillance camera, which showed Brown seeming to strong-arm an employee and steal cigarillos* mere minutes before the fatal police encounter, others placed the blame on Brown.
Subsequent rioting left dozens injured, seventeen businesses torched and millions in property damage. Meanwhile, President Obama's Department of Justice found Officer Wilson's actions justified.
However, had Wilson been equipped with a lapel camera, that footage would have enhanced finding justice. Moreover, the knowledge that the public could see the truth of what happened might have prevented the riots and recriminations.
More information is better.
That's why the best news of all is this: on April 4, three weeks from today, the people of Ferguson will vote on The Public Video Recording Accountability Amendment to Ferguson's City Charter. The charter amendment mandates that officers wear lapel cameras while on duty and sets sensible rules for allowing maximum public access.
The campaign needs your help to alert Ferguson voters about the election by mailing information on the ballot measure. For instance, studies demonstrate that not only do police behave better when wearing cameras, but so do the citizens with whom they interact.
Would you give five dollars for Ferguson?
Please help bring a better day for justice and transparency.
It's Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.
* Over the weekend, more video surfaced from the convenience store as part of a documentary entitled, "Stranger Fruit," which suggested Michael Brown had made a drug deal at the store, and not stolen anything. A St. Louis County prosecutor disputed the filmmaker's interpretation, and released more footage.

Students can now major in 'medicinal plant chemistry,' or marijuana, at a Midwestern university - Cannabis News
A small college in the Midwest has launched a program in of its chemistry department that gives new meaning to the phrase "higher education."
Northern Michigan University is offering a medicinal plant chemistry program — effectively, a major in marijuana — that will prepare students for careers in the burgeoning marijuana industry.
It's the first degree of its kind at a four-year undergraduate college, CBS Detroit reports.
The school hopes to become a major pipeline for the legal marijuana business, which employs between 165,000 and 230,000 Americans — about as many people as there are dental hygienists working in the US.

Speaking from my own personal experiences I would have to agree with researcher Jean Anyon's views on the correlations between social class and education. i attended an elementary school in North Philadelphia with children from mostly low income families. I attended secondary school in an affluent upper middle class community. There is definately a difference in the educational buudgets of these different schools which in my opinion adds to the discrepancy in education and curriculum.
In more affluent schools, monetary resources are much more readily at hand, through donation and fundraising in a more economically stable community.
In these schools there is an emphasis on college preparation, rather than vacational training. In the inner city, unfortunately, expectations are lower for students. Right now, many schools in Philadelphia don't even have enough books for each student.
Although the differences in education within the social classes may seem unfair, and discriminatory, you have to see it from a different perspective. IN reality more students from higher social/ economic classas will go on to higher education;and more students from lower social classes will seek vocational careers.
There are many more options now in 2004, than when Jean Anyon wrote her article in 1980 on "hidden curriculum " in schools. There are religion based school, private academies, and specialized charter school appearing everywhere. Every guardian and student should research decide what they want from their education, and choose a school accordingly.

Wrangler Jeans: Men's Cowboy Cut 0947 STR Navy Regular Fit Stretch Jeans
13 out of 13 people found this product review helpful.
Not Made in USA but still good quality...
By: kseverna
Wrangler Jeans have been the hallmark of workwear quality for decades and decades now. Every Wrangler product I've ever owned has been well crafted and durable, and this pair of jeans is no exception. The slim fit in the butt and the thighs lends itself nicely to a trim, attractive silhouette, and the straight leg opening give you plenty of room to move around (plus, my boots fit perfectly underneath - not too loose, not too tight). The denim is heavyweight and I feel confident that I'm wearing work jeans that will last me through a hard day's work and many just like it in the future. Although they aren't made in the USA, I still recommend these Wrangler jeans for the quality and durability that they offer a working person.

Nestled in the heartland-ish region of Tiong Bahru, a western(French?) style bakery is one of the least likely places you'd expect to find; while its location and choice of plates reflect a home-y local feel about it, the prices and menu options are anything but. Tiong Bahru bakery presents a recent boom in bakeries opening in Singapore, we are now spoilt for choice, which isn't a bad thing at all. With features in magazines and the Sunday Times, TB bakery quickly became the 'it' bakery to go to, perhaps even overshadowing the opening of Paul in Singapore, and definitely Maison Kayser(Which is currently my favorite)
Guacamole Sandwich
This was a basically a rocket salad sandwiched between two guacamole buns. The flavor of the avocado was a little faint in the assertive peppery notes of the rocket, but fresh onion slices brightened up the dish nicely, and the addition of pumpkin seeds gave the sandwich a nice textural contrast. I can't quite remember what the dressing for the salad was, but I noted down that the entire thing needed more dressing because it was borderlining on the dry side. Okay-Good
Squid Ink Bun with Smoked Salmon and Ham
This is supposed to be one of their specialities. I really don't get it, it tasted terrible to me. Let me clarify that I love squid ink, I love the subtle brine-y taste and additional umami that it adds to dishes. However, this bun tasted like seawater, the fishy aroma and taste was overpowering and the smoked salmon didn't exactly smoothen things out either, the pesto sauce didn't quite work with the strong fish flavor, and instead of cancelling each other out, you seemed to get hit by the strong fish flavor, followed by the strong pesto. It was like getting hit down by a car, and the moment you try to pick yourself up, you immediately get rolled over by a van. Very bad
This is another of their specialities and was touted as the 'best croissant in Singapore', while it doesn't suffer from the same faults as the previous 'speciality', this was nowhere close to being the best. Firstly, this isn't a traditional French croissant, it is constituted of layers and can actually be pulled apart(as opposed to the traditional flaky variation), and it is slightly more chewy and elastic as well, the interior of the croissant seems to hang close to the radius/sides and leaves a somewhat hollow center. The plus point about this is that it has a very crisp crust, but one of the major pitfalls of this is the lack of butter, it just didn't have enough unctuousness and richness, and whats the point of eating a broiche of a croissant if you couldn't taste the butter? Comparisons aside, I didn't hate the TB variation, I welcome the crisp crust with open arms and it tasted pretty good, but it just didn't deliver what I look for in a croissant. Okay
Pain au Chocolat
This used the same layered dough as the croissant, but I thought this was a little overbaked and tasted burnt . Very stingy with the chocolate as well. Bad-Okay
The pastry did have a nice buttery richness, the tartness of the apple cut through that nicely, the apples were a little too overcooked and soft for me, plus I would've liked a thin layer of fresh apples for texture(personal preference), and the crumble on top could have been more crisp. Okay
Chocolate Mendiant with Nuts and Dried Fruit
This was probably the most enjoyable dish I had, the dried fruit peel(candied orange I believe) was a little overpowering at times and could have been chopped finer, but the overall balance of the taste was good- bitterness coming the dark chocolate and sweetness coming from the dried fruit, the soft ganache was nicely set and melted down quickly on the tongue. Good
Just before I left, having not learnt my lesson, I bought a loaf of rye miso bread- it was truly terrible, so salty that almost inedible on its own. I left Tiong Bahru bakery feeling confused, not upset, or disappointed, just confused. I just don't get the hype surrounding the place. This is strange to me, because I love the concept behind some of the things they sell, squid ink bread, miso bread, guacamole bread, all of these make perfect sense, but why were they so poorly executed?
Lets just say I'll be happily sticking to Maison Kayser from now on, I'd happily take some of that yuzu bread any day

Guy Carter is an award-winning graduate student of architecture. He's got a beautiful wife and a baby on the way. The problem? He doesn't have "his ducks in a row," which only fuels his doubts about being a good father. Guy has been trying to find work in his field for a year with no luck. At wit's end, his wife Anne finds him a job as a 'driver' on Craigslist. Guy shows up for the interview thinking he'll be delivering pizzas, but quickly realizes it's a job driving prostitutes. With money too scarce to turn down, he goes for it- which is where he meets Nikki, the tough-as-nails, unapologetic sex worker, and her two hilarious and foul-mouthed cohorts, Jaxi and Fallon. As reluctant driver and protector Guy is thrust into a world of rockin' women and feeble men. Over the course of one wild and sordid night, and several 'come-to-Jesus' moments, Guy proves to Nikki, and himself, that he does have what it takes to be the responsible father his family deserves.

Airbnb Coupons July 2019
Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia couldn't afford the rent for their San Francisco loft apartment and decided to try something which later turned to be one of the greatest innovations of the 21st century. Today, booking a place with Airbnb has many advantages, one of them being the unmatched price for high-quality homes and amenities. You can benefit from additional discounts if you use the occasional Airbnb coupon. Read on to discover all the ways you can save on Airbnb home rental options.
A random look at Airbnb reviews will indicate that Airbnb is one of the best ideas of the modern age. It can help you both earn money as a host and save money while being a guest on someone's property. Even though Airbnb is only nine years old, it has already facilitated over 260 million check-ins. The company offers more than 4 million listings in over 65 thousand cities worldwide. Still, it is expected that the best from Airbnb is yet to come.
[wpcd_coupons_loop count=200 cat='232′ temp='default']
Airbnb Coupon 2018
Airbnb isn't famous for its generosity when it comes to coupon codes. However, there are several coupon offers which can be used for reducing accommodation prices. So if you have an account on free credit is just a few scrolls away.
There have been several coupon code offers so far, and you may stumble upon one while you're checking their website. However, in all honesty, Airbnb promo codes aren't the most prominent way of saving when booking on this platform. That being said, promo codes are not something you're likely to come across on the Airbnb website. Still, you can try, it doesn't cost anything!
If you're looking for a place to find a coupon for saving on your next accommodation booking, Reddit is something you should consider. Many Reddit users share their affiliate code, giving you discounts between $20 and $40 for your first booking. Speaking of websites other than Airbnb's official one, you might come across an Airbnb promo code on Groupon. However, it is not very likely it will be valid, and we will discuss the reason for that below.
When it comes to redeeming a coupon code, you need to apply it when making your reservation. More precisely, when you book your desired rental and proceed to the checkout page, you should click on the 'Redeem a coupon' button beneath your payment method. After that, all that's left is to enter the promo code, click apply, and enjoy the benefits of your voucher. On the other hand, a referral code is automatically applied when you visit the referral link.
Things to Consider Before Redeeming an Airbnb coupon
As the case is with many things online, there is always the chance for something to go wrong with redeeming coupons. Before you contact customer service for help, you might as well check a couple of things.
First of all, most problems come as a result of mistyping the code. So it's smart to double-check the email with your discount code and even smarter to copy and paste it. Furthermore, coupons can be used only once and can't be applied retroactively.
Saving Without an Airbnb Promo Code
When it comes to their discount offers, Airbnb has a quality-over-quantity policy. In most cases, Airbnb only acts as an intermediary between guests and hosts. Still, hosts often get suggestions from Airbnb that it would be reasonable to lower the prices for specific dates. If the host accepts the proposal and sends a special offer, Airbnb offers you a reduced rate for booking on particular dates. At times, you'll need to hurry up because the host may have sent the same offer to several potential guests. The special offer usually gives you a discount of 10-20%.
Airbnb Referral Code
The Airbnb referral program is another excellent way to save money on your travels and even earn some extra cash. If you've registered, tried it, and had a great experience with this platform, invite friends to join and try it as well. You'll be able to earn up to $5,000 total in travel credit!
You can find your invite code in the invitation section of your Airbnb account. Send it to your friends via email, or even share it on your Facebook, Twitter or other social media profiles for greater visibility. Both you and your friends will receive bonuses that will automatically appear on your checkout pages. They've always appeared in the form of an Airbnb coupon and this year is no exception.
However, there are certain restrictions when it comes to this program. For instance, your friends cannot be existing Airbnb users, and they need to sign up using your invite link. Furthermore, you'll get your bonus once they complete their first reservation of no less than $75. Keep in mind that this is excluding fees and taxes, so to be on the safe side, the value of the trip should be around $100. Finally, you can't use your credit for a reservation that's already been paid for, but it will be available for your next booking.
Airbnb Free Credit
There are two ways you can earn credit with the help of your friends – when they travel and when they host. You can receive $95 for every person you invite. When you send them an invitation, they get $25 in Airbnb credit. You'll get $15 when they travel and $80 when they host.
The travel credit you earn can only be used once, and Airbnb changes the rewards quite often. According to the Airbnb cancellation policy, if you cancel a trip, the travel credit can't be used again.
The maximum amount of travel credit you can earn this way is $5,000. But note that every credit earned expires within a year from the date it was acquired. To keep an eye on all your referral details, check the Invite Friends page of your Airbnb dashboard.
Airbnb Gift Card
A gift card is a beautiful present you can give to someone. Go to the Airbnb gift section to browse available gift cards and send them to someone via the "Send a gift card" option. This is where you can redeem a gift card as well. However, if you receive a gift card from someone, all you have to do is click "Accept" in your email, and you will be redirected to that page.
Then, just like redeeming an Airbnb discount code, all you have to do is click on the "Redeem a gift card" button and enter your code. The funds will be automatically added to your Airbnb account. You have to claim them within 90 days of receiving them. If you don't, they will return to the sender's Airbnb balance using the same payment method they used to buy it.
To check your gift card balance, go to your payment methods page. You can only buy gift cards in US dollars at the moment, but Airbnb is working on adding other currencies in the future. Ordering multiple gift cards requires a purchase of at least $1,000. When you book a trip, the balance from your gift card will be automatically accounted for. However, just as it's the case with Airbnb coupon codes, there are a couple of limitations for redeeming gift cards as well.
First, Airbnb Gift Cards can't be used for longer vacations – 28 nights is the limit. Moreover, you can't apply them to previously paid reservations. Finally, if you make changes to an existing reservation and you need to pay an additional amount of money – you can't use a gift card to pay for the difference.
Terrific Accommodation at Reasonable Prices
When Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia started Airbnb, they couldn't have dreamed that they'll compete with some of the leading hotel chains worldwide. Airbnb is so widespread that it's almost impossible to find a reasonably-sized city without at least 10 Airbnb listings. Even though it's often disputed and also sued, Airbnb keeps on growing. Even without an Airbnb coupon, rest assured that you'll get an unmatched price. In the end, the home-like experience while traveling offers a lot more than what you'll be paying for.

The big summer patch for Battlefield 4 is now available to players of the game on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC. In addition to that, the Night Operations DLC for the game is also available today, though it is only available for Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC players- PS3 and PS4 owners in Europe will have to wait till September 8 to play it.
Night Operations bring with it a new night time map, called Zavod: Graveyard Shift, which is a night time version of Zavod 311. The map supports Conquest, Rush, Obliteration, as well as infantry focused game modes, including Team Death Match, Domination and Gun Master.
The summer patch itself brings with it new gadgets to the game, as well as further fixes to the overall Battlefield 4 experience – you will remember that when the game initially launched back in October 2013, it was a major mess – by fixing and stabilizing game balance and netcode.

Locations: Moffitt Cancer Center
Cancer Focus: Brain Cancer , Glioblastoma , Meningioma , Spinal Tumor
Dr. James Liu is a neurosurgeon who specializes in the surgical and radiosurgical treatment of brain and spine tumors. Currently, he is an Assistant Member in the Department of Neuro-Oncology at Moffitt Cancer Center and an Assistant Professor of Oncologic Sciences at the University of South Florida. He received his undergraduate education from the University of Michigan. He received a medical degree from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. He obtained his residency training in neurosurgery at the Cleveland Clinic. He also completed a post-doctoral fellowship in Cancer Stem Cell Biology at the Cleveland Clinic, during which he was awarded the Congress of Neurological Surgeons Tumor Fellowship. He then completed a fellowship in neurosurgical oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Dr. Liu also leads a laboratory research effort focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms that drive the formation of brain tumors. In particular, the Liu Laboratory focuses on how a subset of the tumor population with tumor-initiating, or stem-like properties, contributes to the proliferation of brain tumors and their resistance to medical therapies. The Laboratory uses peptide screening technology against patient derived brain tumor cells to isolate novel receptors and targets that can be used to further characterize the mechanisms that drive these cells, for the development of future therapeutic strategies. The Laboratory also utilizes peptide screening technology to develop targeting agents that allow tumor detection at a cellular level, for improved visualization as well as earlier diagnosis of primary and metastatic brain tumors.

Building Stories
Building Stories
With so many pieces combining to form one long-form story, it's easy to get lost inside Building Stories. Where does it begin? Where does it end? That's all up to you, and that's just the beginning of its brilliance.
There are more than a dozen freestanding components inside the Building Storiesbox, and they each combine to tell the story of the denizens of a Chicago brownstone who are going about their (often lonely) lives. Even the building itself is a character as it houses the various residents throughout years (and stages) of their lives. We watch as some go from young to old, their whole lives summed up in just a few panels…and yet these panels say all that needs to be said.
One of Ware's special gifts is his ability to convey the heights and depths of human emotion in such brief spaces. He can nail a look, an expression, a fleeting glance with the precision of a marksman. That this emotion is broken up over so many disparate pieces strengthens that skill even more, rather than diminishing it in any way. When you pick up a new piece of the story, you embark on a new journey that takes you somewhere unexpected…and often winds up hitting home in strange yet alluring ways.
The overarching narrative is punched with a theme of sadness and loneliness, yet reading Building Storiesconveys a sense of wholeness, almost, or at least the intense feeling that people all over often feel the same way.
At $50, Building Storiesis not an inexpensive read. But it is a highly valuable and rewarding one, and it delivers a constantly surprising stream of raw humanity.

History of International Christmas Charity Bazaar
In 1999 the International Women's Association of Vilnius started organising smaller, nationally-oriented Christmas fairs as part of its annual meetings featuring Lithuanian charitable organisations and their products.
The seed for the present International Christmas Charity Bazaar was planted in 2002, when the founders sought to build a more broadly-based charitable initiative representing an endeavour and achievement of a group of women acting in the interest of those without the voices or means to help themselves. Following on the success of a bazaar held at the residence of the Austrian ambassador, the group worked to strengthen the foundation of what would become an annual tradition.
The first International Christmas Charity Bazaar took place on Saturday, November 22, 2003 in Vilnius City Hall (Rotušė). About 15 country representations and 10 charitable organizations participating in the event raised more than 60.000 LTL (~18.000 EUR) for Lithuanian organisations serving children. Since then the Organising Committees of the International Christmas Charity Bazaar have sought to increase the participation of national communities, international schools, sponsors, volunteers, and visitors. The official beneficiaries have expanded to include Lithuanian organisations serving women and the elderly in addition to children.
Since 2003 the initiative has raised more than 1 million euros. More than 30 international communities organise the event with the help of about 500 volunteers and the attendance of more than 5000 visitors.
All the organisers of the Christmas Bazaar are volunteers, who commit to the requirement that money collected on the day of the event and related activities go directly to the beneficiaries, which are Lithuanian organisations. The volunteers are not compensated, and the International Women's Association of Vilnius does not deduct fees for its role as a non-profit, non-governmental, non-partisan intermediary.
Each year prospective beneficiaries are invited to apply for support on the basis of a recommendation by a municipality or head of non-profit organisation. Candidates' applications are reviewed by a committee, which considers requests for support by invitation only based on specific criteria and conditions. The committee conducts site visits before making a final selection and after the donation has been transferred and maintains close contact with the beneficiary organisations in all aspects of the process.
The founders of the International Christmas Charity Bazaar initiative are: Charlotte Davnie (USA), Åshild Hauge (Norway), Gunilla Possenius (Sweden), Rose-Marie Schwarzinger (Austria), and Birutė Vizgirdienė (Lithuania).
The past ICCB Chairs are: Ethel Cushing (UK), Benita Guillaume (Lithuania), Siobhán Denham (Ireland), Mauricette Gady-Laumonier (France), Sarah Hunt (UK), Gunilla Possenius (Sweden), Rose-Marie Schwarzinger (Austria), Mercedes Sprouse-Mickevicius (USA), and Marie-Anne Verdonck-Anciaux (Belgium). The long term Treasurer is: Barbara Little (UK).

Richard Nixon: The Life
Wednesday 26/June/2019 - 08:53 AM
Book Cover
Edited By: Yara Sameh
From a prize-winning biographer comes the defining portrait of a man who led America in a time of turmoil and left us a darker age. We live today، John A. Farrell shows، in a world Richard Nixon made.
At the end of WWII، navy lieutenant "Nick" Nixon returned from the Pacific and set his cap at Congress، an idealistic dreamer seeking to build a better world. Yet amid the turns of that now-legendary 1946 campaign، Nixon's finer attributes gave way to unapologetic ruthlessness. The story of that transformation is the stunning overture to John A. Farrell's magisterial biography of the president who came to embody postwar American resentment and division.
Within four years of his first victory، Nixon was a U.S. senator; in six، the vice president of the United States of America. "Few came so far، so fast، and so alone،" Farrell writes. Nixon's sins as a candidate were legion; and in one unlawful secret plot، as Farrell reveals here، Nixon acted to prolong the Vietnam War for his own political purposes. Finally elected president in 1969، Nixon packed his staff with bright young men who devised forward-thinking reforms addressing health care، welfare، civil rights، and protection of the environment. It was a fine legacy، but Nixon cared little for it. He aspired to make his mark on the world stage instead، and his 1972 opening to China was the first great crack in the Cold War.
Nixon had another legacy، too: an America divided and polarized. He was elected to end the war in Vietnam، but his bombing of Cambodia and Laos enraged the antiwar movement. It was Nixon who launched the McCarthy era، who played white against black with a "southern strategy،" and spurred the Silent Majority to despise and distrust the country's elites. Ever insecure and increasingly paranoid، he persuaded Americans to gnaw، as he did، on grievances—and to look at one another as enemies. Finally، in August 1974، after two years of the mesmerizing intrigue and scandal of Watergate، Nixon became the only president to resign in disgrace.

About the Author
John A. Farrell is the author of Clarence Darrow: Attorney for the Damned، which won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Biography، and Tip O'Neill and the Democratic Century. A longtime journalist، he worked at The Denver Post and at The Boston Globe، where he served as White House correspondent and on the vaunted Spotlight team.
Editorial Reviews
"Beautifully written and deeply insightful... A bracing portrait of a man untethered from principle and ideology، driven throughout his life to win at any cost and thereby palliate his deep-seated insecurities... Nixon was not an easy man to understand. And even now، his failures and accomplishments are not easy to classify. In Farrell's capable hands، however، we see Nixon in his entirety—and we can't help but wonder what he means for our politics today."
—William Howell، San Francisco Chronicle
"[Nixon is] an electrifying subject، a muttering Lear، of perennial interest to anyone with even an average curiosity about politics or psychology. The real test of a good Nixon biography، given how many there are، is far simpler: Is it elegantly written? And، even more important، can it tolerate paradoxes and complexity، the spikier stuff that distinguishes real-life sinners from comic-book villains? The answer، in the case of Richard Nixon، is yes، on both counts."
—Jennifer Senior، The New York Times
"A stack of good books about Nixon could reach the ceiling، but Farrell has written the best one-volume، cradle-to-grave biography that we could expect about such a famously elusive subject. By employing recently released government documents and oral histories، he adds layers of understanding to a complex man and his dastardly decisions... Outstanding."
—Aram Goudsouzian، Washington Post
"With a mix of morbid fascination and deep empathy، Farrell humanizes Nixon، but he doesn't let him off the hook... The dichotomy between brooding schemer and extroverted leader has long defined the Nixon dynamic. But with Richard Nixon، Farrell has etched those history-shaking contradictions into the most vivid—and the most startling—relief to date."
—Jason Heller، NPR.org
"An extremely valuable introduction to the life and times of one of our most consequential presidents. Farrell gives us a Nixon rich in both character flaws and great accomplishments، the latter fueled by his transformational vision. It's a worthy look at a fascinating president."
—Ray Locker، USA Today
"Though there have been many previous books about Nixon، Mr. Farrell's comprehensive، one-volume biography is welcome... In lively، vigorous prose، he takes readers through Nixon's career، offering incisive judgments and revealing details along the way."
—Robert K. Landers، Wall Street Journal
"Superb... the most formidable attempt yet made to put Richard Nixon in perspective."
—Steve Donoghue، Christian Science Monitor
"Farrell is an exceptional writer... It may not have been Farrell's intent to produce a cautionary tale about the dangers of a presidency run aground on lies، paranoia، prejudices، and delusion، but that's what he's accomplished."
—Publishers Weekly، starred review
"Farrell's blockbuster portrait of Nixon is revelatory—filled with fresh reporting shedding new light on the roots of our own dark political moment. He shows that dirty tricks، October Surprises، and anti-elitist resentment were among the gifts Nixon bequeathed to our own presidential politics."
—Jane Mayer، author of Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right
"John A. Farrell has once again delivered a rich، precisely written portrait of the past to help us understand the present. He traces the origins and turning points of one of the most complex، complicated and fascinating presidents of the modern age with flair and narrative skill. Each page is a joy to read، on the way to a very satisfying whole."
—John Dickerson، moderator of CBS's Face the Nation and author of Whistlestop
"Brilliant، ruthless، a president who combined some enlightened policies with inner darkness، Richard Nixon stands alone in the history of American politics. John A. Farrell's gripping account vividly captures Nixon from his earliest days—catapulting to Congress with a cold-blooded debate stunt—to the mounting crises he faced in the White House، culminating in his spectacular fall."
—T.J. Stiles، Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Custer's Trials and The First Tycoon
"In Richard Nixon، John A. Farrell is tough and unyielding، yet gives his subject a fair hearing through each gripping episode. 'I'm not a quitter،' Nixon once protested، and this grand، indispensable book proves him right، right to the end."
—Chris Matthews، author of Kennedy & Nixon: The Rivalry that Shaped Post-war America
"Jack Farrell gives us two profoundly resonant Richard Nixons—the last progressive Republican، and the author of our national divisions. He also gives us، in one engrossing volume، the defining biography of our darkest president."
—Larry Tye، author of Bobby Kennedy: The Making of a Liberal Icon
"With clarity and verve، John A. Farrell's deft pen illuminates the life of America's 37th president. Unsparing yet fair-minded in its analysis and based on deep research in a wealth of archival and published sources، Richard Nixon is a fast-moving and penetrating portrait of this controversial and complicated man."
—Fredrik Logevall، Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Embers of War
"John A. Farrell's Richard Nixon: The Life is an expertly written and strikingly comprehensive portrait of America's most complicated president. Farrell has a genius for the telling anecdote and apropos quote. His command of the sources is staggering. Richard Nixon is a true landmark achievement."
—Douglas Brinkley، Professor of History at Rice University and author of Cronkite
"Full of fresh، endlessly revealing insights into Nixon's political career، less on the matter of his character، refreshingly، than on the events that accompanied and resulted from it."
—Kirkus Reviews، starred review
"A probing biography... Readers track the lonely and hard-won ascent of a sickly، love-starved child، who dreams like a Romantic but maneuvers like Machiavelli... An unflinching portrait."
—Booklist، starred review

Prospective graduate students wishing to attend the University of Saskatchewan must apply through the College of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies but the recommendation for acceptance is made by the department.
Before applying, prospective graduate students should identify and contact a potential supervisor with a similar research area of interest to their own to determine whether any positions are available ( not a requirement for Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics).
Agricultural Economics (M.Sc., Ph.D.)
Applied Economics (Ph.D.) New!
Animal and Poultry Science (M.Sc., Ph.D.)
Food Science (P.G.D, M.Agr.) and Applied Microbiology (M.Sc., Ph.D.)
Plant Sciences (M.Sc., Ph.D., Dual Ph.D.)
Soil Science (M.Sc., Ph.D.)
Students in the Plants Sciences Ph.D. degree program have the option to complete a dual Ph.D. degree. Students complete one thesis with two co-supervisors (one from each institution) and a joint committee composed of faculty from both institutions. After fulfillment of all requirements, Ph.D. degrees are awarded from each of the United Graduate School of Agricultural Sciences (Japan) and the U of S in the field of plant sciences. Students pay tuition to their home institution and are based approximately half of the time at each institution.

3 Things I did to increase my baby's appetite and help him gain weight
This is what I did to increase my baby's appetite which eventually helped him gain weight!
A newborn usually regains its birth weight by the time he/she is 14 days old. A baby doubles its birth weight in 3, or maximum, 4 months. You can expect your baby to triple its birth weight by about one year of age. It was all going well for my baby boy too.
But as soon as my baby hit the third year mark, things got rough. He began to get sick and wasn't gaining weight as per the growth chart. This really began to worry me. Everyone asked questions regarding my son's weight.
Like me, how many mothers worry that their baby is underweight (or malnourished), even as per your child's doctor? Many, I am sure! A baby's weight is an indicator of his overall development, and if weight gain doesn't happen properly, it can indicate a problem.
I am sharing the three things I did to increase my baby's appetite and help him gain weight. They really worked magic for us, and I recommend you try them out too!
1. I fed my baby these foods for weight gain:
Even though my baby boy was eating a balanced/nutritious diet, he was not gaining adequate weight. I was forced to think of a lot of alternatives. Clearly, just the regular diet wouldn't have helped. I had to amp up the nutrition quotient.
These are the foods I tried, successfully. You can try them if your baby is older than 6 months and has been introduced to solid foods. Continue reading..

If you are looking for a dentist, or if you aren't happy (yes HAPPY) with your current dentist, then I can not more strongly recommend that you set up an appointment with Dr. John Tiffany in Moorestown. It was literally one of the best decisions I made in this past year, and I am extremely grateful that I had the opportunity to meet John.
Robert 2012
Love is usually not a word associated with the dentist office, but the friendly and professional staff along with Dr. Tiffany will put you at ease. My case was extensive but my experience was wonderful...will never go anywhere else. Thank You Dr. Tiffany and Dot.
Absolutely the best dentist I've had in years. They truly care about their patients and go above and beyond to help. I moved out of the area awhile ago but still travel an hour for an appointment. Dentists this good and caring are sooo difficult to find!

happy 2012! i hope the year of the dragon is off to a great start for you. with cool people, yummy food, and good conversation to start the year yesterday, i certainly can't complain.
i also can't complain about the a m a z i n g atomic era gold shadow box that was discovered in the attic of my rental house. my friends (and landlords) are moving for a few years and are storing some things in my attic. yesterday, to everyone's surprise, they discovered this fantastic piece under a pile of insulation.
i (greedily, i'm afraid) called dibs and they (graciously) handed it over. the decorative edge is missing what we think was probably once a mirror, but other than that? it's in perfect shape. and i already have a plan involving glitter and resin to add a bit of awesome back to the shadow box. nothing tacky, i promise. stay tuned.
if this is a sign of the vintage goodness to come in 2012, i'm stoked.
oh! and to start off the new year, i started a facebook page for file me away. if you'd like to like it, well, that'd be swell!

We are a small french bulldog family kennel based in 25 kilometers west of Zagreb, Croatia. Our kennel is officially registered with the F.C.I. (Fédération Cynologique Internationale) and the Croatian Kennel Club (HKS) under the name Totegnac and register number 73/07.
At Totegnac we strive to produce french bulldogs that are healthy, sound, have awesome temperaments, and are as close to the breed standard as possible.
We have plenty of space for them to run and play in the fresh air. Raised by hand with lots of hughs and kisses. Our dogs are all house reared, so grow up very well socialised. They should have a very good natured disposition and be very sociable - they will take over the couch if they can!

While getting familiar with the Construct 2, I started to wonder would it be possible somehow detect what kind of a device is used as an input device for HTML5 game. In principle, HTML5 will run on almost all platforms, so it would be very useful to see whether the player is using mouse or touch screen as a input device.
I created a simple Breakout game clone to find out how the control method could be detected easily. You can load the Construct 2 .capx file from our server, if willing to see the full example game and want to try it yourself.
|Breakout clone
Game is very simple one, and it has no extra features included. I also tried to add some comments to ease up understanding what has been done and why. I am not too sure if everything is done "correct" way, but anyways this example is working somehow with my own devices (Android tablet, Lumia phone, Linux and windows computers).
Game events 2-4 are the most interesting ones from this article point of view. Please see the .capx or the picture below to see how detection was done in this case.
|Detect whether mouse or touchscreen is used as input device
controlMethod variale is used to store the information about the input device.
When game is in "init" state game will wait for user input. If Touch event is triggered, game gets hint that touch screen is used as an input device and controlMethod variable value is set to "touch". Mouse detection works similar way, except it is triggered by mouse LMB release and controlMethod variable value is set to "mouse".
After mouse is clicked or touchscreen touched, the game will move to "run" state and ball starts moving. Bat object is moved horizontally towards the targetX X-coordinate on every tick. controlMethod variable is used to decide whether the bat targetX position will be based on mouse cursor position (Mouse.X), or last known touch position (Touch.X). Details can be seen from the .capx project file or the figure below.
|controlMethod variable usage in "run" state
So when the gameState is "run", loop is executed on every tick (approx. 60 times per second). When mouse cursor (of touch) is between left and right boundaries, targetX value will be set to Mouse.X or Touch.X, depending on the value of controlMethod variable. If cursor (or touch) is not between the boundaries, targetX is fixed close to left or right boundary.
Bat movement is done in events 11-14, using the "bullet" behavior. Nothing special, just defining the bat direction and then enabling/disabling the "bullet" behavior as needed.
That's it. I hope this example is useful for you.

These are the products that will take over the DIY multicopter market for sure.
Today I received the Open Pilot CC board, which is the first commercially availible board from the Open Pilot team. I had the software installed allready, and after hooking up the board everything came to life without a single problem.
The CopterControl platform has been designed to perform the following functions:
- a MultiRotor controller with auto-level, including TriCopters, QuadCopters and HexaCopters
- a Flybarless Helicopter controller with auto-level
- a Fixed Wing UAV controller
The CopterControl hardware has the following features:
- Powerful STM32 32-bit microcontroller running at 90MIPs with 128KB Flash and 20KB RAM
- 3-axis high-performance MEMs gyros and 3-axis high-performance MEMs accelerometer
- Tiny 36mmx36mm 4 layer PCB for superior electrical noise reduction and flight performance.
- Software support for Windows, Mac and Linux
- Direct high speed USB support with no drivers required, a truly plug and play device.
- Spektrum satellite receiver support
- Futaba S-BUS hardware support
- Innovative Flexi-port technology for superior port flexibility
- 4Mbits on-board EEPROM for configuration storage
A detailed review will follow when the mikro Y6 is ready. This looks very promising!

In a multi-part retrospective to commemorate the site's 10th Anniversary, we take a look back at every year of the site's existence.
(Likely) 1999 NWR Handheld Game of the Year
Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (GBC)Developer: Nintendo R&D2
Publisher: Nintendo
Release Date: May 1, 1999
Why Would It Have Won? First off, it's Super Mario Bros., one of the best games in history. But instead of a straight-ahead re-release – which Nintendo easily could have done and sold good numbers, let's be honest – the Big N decided to jam-pack SMB Deluxe with a ton of extra features that made it too good for gamers to pass up. It added an all-new 2-Player Vs. mode (a race to the flag between Mario and Luigi) and Challenge mode (find coins and a Yoshi egg, and beat a preset score), GameBoy Printer interactivity, a calendar(!), the ability to save your game, a map screen…and oh yeah, several of the levels from Super Mario Bros. 2: The Lost Levels. That's quite a package, and its quality was undeniable. It went on to sell almost 3 million copies and copped a perfect 10/10 score from one or two from critics along the way.
Is It Still Worthy? Hell yeah. There are still NWR staffers that play Super Mario Bros. Deluxe to this day. The game itself is a pixel-perfect port of an absolute classic (aside from screen resolution constraints), and all the extra content made it a release for the ages. Super Mario Bros. has been re-released on other platforms in the last ten years, but never in a package as complete and robust as this one.
