Partners in Preservation is a program in which American Express, in partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, awards preservation grants to historic places across the country. Since 2006, American Express has made grants worth $9 million through Partners in Preservation, helping historic places in seven cities to date, including San Francisco, Chicago, New Orleans, Boston, Seattle, Saint Paul/Minneapolis and New York, and has engaged more than a million people. The program will award an additional $1 million in grants to historic places in Washington, DC in May 2013. Through this partnership, American Express and the National Trust for Historic Preservation seek to increase the public's awareness of the importance of historic preservation in the United States and to preserve America's historic and cultural places. The program also hopes to inspire long-term support from local citizens for the historic places at the heart of their communities.
Washington D.C. Metro Area 2013
The Washington, D.C. Metro area has been selected as the eighth area to be selected to participate in Partners in Preservation and receive funding from American Express. The area benefits from a wealth of historic landmarks and districts. Since the creation of the Georgetown Historic District in 1950, the city's inventory of historic places has grown steadily to encompass thousands of properties representing all aspects of the city's history and culture. The District of Columbia alone has 55 historic districts and 657 historic landmarks dating from the 1700s to iconic modern architectural marvels, and has more National Historic Landmarks than all but seven states.
Plus this weekend, Saturday May 4th – Sunday May 5th is Open House Weekend.
This means there will be fun, special events at each of the sites. A full list of participating sites is here. I suggest calling ahead to find out what special event each site has. Some will have free admission, behind the scenes tours, food, performances, etc – to encourage people to come out, learn more about the site and its history – and encourage people to vote for their site. For example, Congressional Cemetery will be doing an all-day Scavenger Hunt with performances, tours pointing out some of the famous "residents" and even a spaghetti sauce judging contest.
Your vote will help give away $1 million to preserve historic places in the Washington, DC Metro area. Although there aren't any Prince William County sites in the running, there are the following Northern Virginia sites: Arlington House, Colvin Run Mill, Marine Corps War Memorial, Mount Vernon, and The Athenaeum.
From April 24 through May 10, 2013, the public is being asked to help choose which historic places they feel most deserve preservation funding. Click here to learn about the participating historic places. Visit the Partners in Preservation website to earn points for the participating historic places by voting online and via mobile, sharing with friends on Twitter, checking in on Foursquare and posting photos on Instagram. Click here to get started. The site that receives the highest number of points at the conclusion of the program is guaranteed to receive their full grant request. A Partners in Preservation advisory committee comprised of Washington-area civic and preservation leaders will recommend how the remainder of the preservation grants will be awarded to the other participating sites. On May 13, American Express and the National Trust will announce the popular vote winner along with the additional grant winners.

In a two-day Comic-Workshop organized by the Goethe-Institut Indonesia at the STDI (Sekolah Tinggi Desain Bandung) in Bandung, Sascha Hommer guided a comic workshop with young Indonesian comic artist.
The participants were encouraged to think up stories with urban area setting, which have a personal touch, or an autobiographical background. The various attempts—from love stories, action-packed pulp narratives, to thoughtful observations of everyday life—were poured into paper in a short period of time and shown in a final presentation, and even some were still revised after the end of the workshop.
Stylistically, Manga-influences are recognizable in almost all of the works. Unlike in Germany, where mangaka (Manga camic aartist) and other comic artist protagonists are in separate fields and where overlapping is the exception, those styles are flowing into one another in Indonesia.

The design of the ceiling
Any room, before being subjected to repair and decoration, primarily, is a box: the ceiling, walls, floor. The ceiling is considered to be the final point in the work, however, it is not so. This ceiling, according to interior designers, "making" room, provides guidance for the future design of private homes and offices.
Consider the ceiling from a technological point of view, without being distracted by anyone already uninteresting finishes like pasting Wallpaper or painting. Now the ceiling – a great field of activity, the realization of your fantasies and exclusive ideas. A variety of construction materials allows you to apply various methods of finishing and decoration of the ceiling.
All methods have their advantages and features.
Facing the ceiling, at first glance, it seems the simplest way to trim that does not require special knowledge, tools and physical effort. What is easier – to buy tiles made from foam with embossed pattern on her, and with a special adhesive to secure it to the ceiling. This method is acceptable for bathrooms and kitchens in a private home, but for office it is not suitable.
Professionals believe that simplicity is deceptive facing the ceiling. For an inexperienced person who decided to implement the pasting ceiling tiles, will be the opening of that plane, on which they will be attached, must be pre – prepared- removed burrs, residues from previous coating, etc. Besides, not last role in the final result is the quality of the glue. In terms of color solutions can also cause problems, because the foam is painted poorly. In the end, a seemingly simple job can turn into real headache and disappointment.
Trendy false ceilings, apart from their aesthetic value, have practical advantages. Design is a frame composed of metal profiles, to which are attached the finished items (often cut out the desired shape drywall), which are selected in accordance with the required properties: increased insulation, improved lighting. The technology of suspended ceilings is very beneficial for rough, bad planes, allows you to mask all the flaws, provide protection for equipment and wiring, and create a completely new, three-dimensional shape. With the help of suspended ceilings, interior designers realize the most amazing and unusual ideas, which become the highlight of the apartment.
One of the most popular ways modern finishes ceilings – suspended ceilings. They differ in aesthetic appeal, although are not cheap. Design of the stretch ceiling involves a frame that is fixed around the perimeter of the ceiling, he stretched the material, impregnated with vinyl. Ceilings embody the dream of man, who is responsible for repair – combine decorative beauty with practicality. The latter should include such an important point – the discharge of water accumulated under the ceiling. That is, if you happen to force majeure, and you flood the neighbors, you will be able to get out of the situation, without incurring significant losses. Stretch ceilings – the perfect solution for rooms with excessive humidity levels. The material that serves as the basis for their fabrication may have a variety of shades – from bright to pastel, rich color palette and texture.

the people appear to be focused on conflict. i read the other day that humans are the first "indoor species."
That sounds terrible, synonymous with anguish or despair. I love the wild. I am wild.
Can we play outside? Is recess tertiary in a list of values and primary needs? Let me go.
FAQ: Let's storyboard this out:
- The dog will kill the opossum, ferociously severing the artery of the neck of its prey.
- The fox, a scavenger, will then eat the opossum, or what's left of it.
- The fox will defecate later, and plant seeds for a tree to grow.
- A forest begins again, thanks to fecal matter. This is evolution. The dog remains wild.
We've become all fight or flight but it's still matter over mind, sorry Einstein. Google how come people are disingenuous, and ~sigh~
c'est la vie.
Consumption of information is problem focused. #statement
Okay, but::: why would bad news get more attention than good news? This directly defies the teachings of Jesus in the Bible. People thrive with good news.
I know we'll die and it's absolutely fine, who did good shit today?
I was listening to a Pete Seeger song, and support his vision. Do you hear what I hear?
"There's another kind of American music I think is so great that it must be able to cross any boundary. I wasn't born to this kind of music – but I fell in love with it, & I try my best to sing it – even though I know I don't sing it exactly right. These are the negro gospel songs and spirituals that have that wonderful solid beat.
Some of them are very old. Sometimes I feel like a motherless child. Motherless children have a hard time in this world. …
Oh what a beautiful city…
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen …
Maybe this song which could be a theme for the whole world…
I'm gunna lay down my sword and shield/ Down by the riverside & study war no more…
You know this song is only half the song, if you're just singing the melody?
Some folk traditions in the world, you're not supposed to sing harmony. These old Irish, and songs, you know, they're just melody alone… you don't wanna mess it up with a lotta harmony…
But this particular kind of song you need the harmony. & no two people need to sing the exact same notes. It's just like a dixie land jazz band/ everybody's weaving in and out and goin under and which every which every which-a-way…
"if you hear too many people singing low, you sing high. if there's too many on top, you crawl on the bottom. Don't forget the melody."
…so here we are. i'd love to hear high tenors. Too much bass in our country, on this earth. Our world is not merely steel and machines. It is composed of many beautiful sounds: ocean, forest, wind, growth, nails, hammers…
We can't sing along if we ain't got our own song.
So let's think rather than critique.
The mirror was only invented in 1835. #reflection
I'm into introspection. Fuck reflection.
"this above all: to thine own self be true." -William Shakespeare, Hamlet, 1603 a.d.

Apple and Samsung have been ordered to stop selling some smartphones and tablet computers in South Korea and pay damages after a court ruled they each infringed the other's patents.
The South Korean court said that Apple had infringed two of Samsung's wireless patents, while Samsung had infringed on a fruity firm patent related to a "bounce-back" touchscreen feature, Bloomberg, the Financial Times and others reported.
The court also awarded damages to both sides, but only enough to cause a momentary fumble in their pockets. Apple [...]
Sales of Apple iPhone 4S are reportedly very low in South Korea and wireless customers are reportedly disappointed with the phone's poor performance. The Korea Times reports that the movement of the iDevice is slow due to problems with the phone's battery life and the lack of support for 4G LTE.
Except for the 'Siri' function, I didn't find any wow factors about the iPhone 4S and that's why I decided to buy Samsung's LTE smartphone, Also Siri doesn't support Korean language and that means the iPhone 4S is technically the same as the iPhone 4. Why should I pay more to buy the same thing? It's nonsense to purchase the 4S just to show my personal tribute to the late Apple [...]

Apple inc. has filed a suit for the second time, against Samsung for copying the iPhone's design. The suit claims that the Samsung Galaxy S copies the third-generation iPhone.
"It is no coincidence that Samsung's latest products look a lot like the iPhone and iPad from the shape of the hardware to the user interface and even the packaging," an Apple spokesperson said regarding case
The suing war started back in April when Apple sued Samsung claiming it copied "Apple's technology, user interface and innovative style in these infringing products." Samsung responded just one week later by filing countersuits.
The interesting aspect behind all [...]
Maeli Business Newspaper reports "a high-ranking" company official has disclosed that Samsung plans to release a 2 Ghz phone latest by next year.

Anti-Amazon advocates, emboldened by rumors that the billion-dollar deal to bring the online retailer to Queens is on the rocks, delivered their message Saturday directly to the residents of the Queensbridge Houses.
Dozens of demonstrators bundled up and knocked on doors at the largest public housing development in the country, seeking to drum up opposition to the company's planned Long Island City campus.
"The Amazon propaganda of 'we're bringing jobs' is pretty thin. People are realizing that the jobs are not for them," said Deborah Axt, the co-director of Make the Road New York. "We found today that the same issues resonated with us on the doors today — gentrification, forcing rent up, jamming our schools — and then expecting us to pay for them to create jobs."
Axt and a small army of volunteers were joined by vocal Amazon opponents state Sen. Michael Gianaris and City Council member James Van Bramer, who have both argued against the $3 billion in tax breaks and grants the company is lined up to receive.
Both Queens Democrats believe the subsidies are too generous despite the 25,000 new jobs Amazon may bring to the neighborhood — and have taken heat from Gov. Cuomo over their stance.
"At this point Amazon has proven that they are a bad actor and don't want to act respond like a responsible corporation," Gianaris said. "Too much power has been concentrated in the hands of big corporations and the people are sick of it."
On Friday, Cuomo warned opponents against "political pandering" after The Washington Post reported that Amazon is having second thoughts about setting up camp in Queens.
"It is irresponsible to allow political opposition to overcome sound government policy," he said.
Residents of the Queensbridge Houses were split on the idea of Amazon setting up shop next door, with about 400 signing off on a petition passed around by activists Saturday.
"I think it's good for the people around here, they need jobs." said Adrian Welch, 36, a New York City Housing Authority employee.
Denise LaChappelle, 29, a student at Brooklyn College, said she's worried about the area gentrifying.
"I'm not so particularly happy about the deal. Just with the rents and everything happening," she said, adding that there are other issues she'd like to see addressed. "I don't know how we're going to give money to them when we're not even helping our own people, (and) the MTA is a mess."

"The car we codenamed ATS is being developed to be a driver's car on an all-new Cadillac-specific RWD-AWD architecture," GM North America President Mark Reuss said in a statement.
Cadillac's new luxury large sedan, the XTS, will go on sale in the spring of 2012. GM says the XTS, which will be offered in both front- and all-wheel drive, is based on the XTS Platinum Concept that was revealed at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show.
"The XTS continues Cadillac's heritage as the leader in large luxury cars while the car we've codenamed ATS starts a new chapter for Cadillac in the luxury market's C-segment," Reuss said in a press release. "We're confident it will attract luxury car buyers who previously would not have considered Cadillac."
Edmunds Inside Line reported at the end of May that the Cadillac DTS large sedan had stopped being produced and that the XTS would most likely be its replacement. Pricing, features and specs for both the XTS and ATS have not been announced by GM yet. With GM's goal of competing with the A4, 3-Series and C-Class, buyers can expect the Cadillac ATS to have a starting price of about $32,000 to $35,000. The 2011 Cadillac DTS starts at $46,680, so the new XTS will most likely have a similar starting price.

Tim and Simon's Podathon
Hello and welcome,
Whilst we're still questioning our sanity, we thought we would take a few moments out of our busy day to explain to you what we are up to on Tuesday 27th September 2011.
We, Tim and Simon, are conducting a 24 hour podcasting marathon from 10pm GMT Tuesday through to 10pm on Wednesday.
Fear not, we won't be just sticking one 24 hour long piece audio onto your hard drive, because it would sound awful, no one would listen and it would take ages to download. We've thought of a far more economic way of conducting a Podathon (genius name eh? Podcasting + marathon = podathon.)
We will be releasing a new podcast at the top of the hour, every hour, over the course of the night and day. Each podcast will be around 10 minutes long and will be produced, recorded and edited during that respective hour.
Here's the best part: it's all for charity. We have set an ambitious target of £1,000 to be raised for The Alzheimer's Society. You can give now if you want: www.justgiving.com/podathon Give as little, or as much, as you can.
So, to listen to the Podathon please visit www.timandsimon.co.uk/podathon and download them as they appear, or to make your life easier, subscribe on iTunes and the podcasts will appear on your hard drive as if by magic.
We want as much involvement from you guys as humanly possible, so feel free to send questions, topics, ideas or general queries to email@example.com or on Twitter @timandsimon.
Also, whilst we're at it, if you would like to send us any audio for the Podathon, messages of support, questions etc, why not email them to us, we may just use them!
It's going to be a hell of a long day, so please don't let us do it for nothing. Donate what you can, and if you don't donate at least make sure you tell your friends and family what we're up to.
Thanks very much,
Tim and Simon.

SXSW 2018: Mt. Joy at Stubb's
By: Andy Hawk
The music industry always hopes to find out who will be the next big thing every March, as it feels like every band trying to make it ends up at SXSW, the iconic Austin music festival. The good news is there is so much to be excited about!
In an intimate Wednesday SXSW showcase inside at the legendary Stubb's BBQ, Mt. Joy showed off why they will be to 2018 what The Revivalists were to 2017. Strong prediction? Yes.
Mt. Joy is that band to be excited about.
It's all there. A little bit Americana, a little bit rock, and a lot of charming, meaningful, catchy hookiness that speaks directly to young music fans. Now couple that with just enough bluesy grit and big lead riffs that can appeal to American classic rock traditionalists: It's easy to see this band reaching the masses in agreement.
Yeah, guys and girls will be able to sing along together to "Silver Lining," the song that is about to be the breakout hit of the spring and this upcoming summer. I mean that hook is so massive! It's the kind of hook on a song that should make Mt. Joy a household name. It's the kind of hook that reaches across genres and formats.
The band is already booked alongside massive rock bands at the some of the biggest festivals, so check them out now before the closest you can get to them is a hundred yards from the stage.

Making coupons mean more
Clipping stigma from the coupon story
How do you get away from the stigma associated with extreme "couponing" and inspire new audiences to save? That was the challenge Coupons.com faced ahead of its first-ever consumer campaign.
Story knew the solution was to create a compelling brand purpose, to redefine what coupons stand for and connect with what "savings" really means to people. Coupons fuel savings, and savings fuel dreams. That was the core narrative of our integrated campaign to build love and loyalty for Coupons.com.
We created a brand style guide and brought the story to life via a targeted campaign that included a TVC, rich-media banners, print and a launch video for a new mobile app. The connection between coupon savings and cashing in on dreams was impossible to miss.

This Body Solid fitness equipment is based around a 160lb single stack of weights that are segmented into 10lb increments. I simple pin sets your desired weight in place and makes it easy to transition between the different exercises. There are five completely unique stations included in the EXM1500S and each one is designed to work on multiple muscle groups.
The Body Solid EXM1500S home gym is designed to be the most well rounded piece of home gym equipment that you can buy. It provides exercises that hit on all of the most desired aspects of fitness; body toning, weight loss and of course weight training/muscle building.
You will need a fairly large area to set it up due to its overall dimensions; 36"W x 83"H x 49"D. For obvious reasons, you need to plan ahead and figure out where it is going to go because the Body Solid home gym is not very easy to move once it is set up.
Body Solid EXM1500S Review
As part of our research for the Body Solid EXM1500S Single Stack home gym we looked online and discovered 35 consumer reviews posted. The product received an average rating of 4.5 stars out of a possible 5.0 stars. Along with the ratings were posted mostly positive comments with some negative ones. The amount of exercises that you are able to perform was a big selling point for many of the reviewers and they also liked the overall setup of the machine. The machine requires a lot of assembly and it was mentioned as a positive referring to the adequate assembly instructions, but a few seemed a bit disappointed with it taking them four hours to put it together. Most of the reviewers were really complimentary about the smooth operation of the gym system once they got it all assembled. Click here to read more reviews.
There were only a handful of negative comments regarding their experience with this product and one of them was disappointed with the leg exercise attachment. They also recommended that if you are looking for serious muscle building you should look elsewhere.
After we completed our research on the Body Solid EXM1500S home gym it would appear that Body Solid has designed a very high quality piece of gym equipment and we would recommend it to everyone.

Check your Windows Time Server....
Double click the clock in the system tray and go to the Internet Time tab. Look to see what server is used to update your time. Change to the other one, which ever that is, and see if that fixes the problem. While you're there, check your default time zone and make sure you're not using the wrong one.
Just to be on the safe side try this
Download HijackThis and run it and then go to the site below to analyze it to find out if you are infected.
HijackThis log file analysis
Hijack This opens you a possibility to find and fix nasty entries on your computer easier.
Therefore it will scan special parts in the registry and on your harddisk and compare them with the default settings. If there is some abnormality detected on your computer HijackThis will save them into a logfile. In order to find out what entries are nasty and what are installed by the user, you need some background information.
A logfile is not so easy to analyze. Even for an advanced computer user. With the help of this automatic analyzer you are able to get some additional support. Just paste your complete logfile into the textbox at the bottom of this page. Due to a few misunderstandings, I just want to make it clear that this site provides only an online analysis, and not HijackThis the program.
Keep us informed as to your progress if you require further assistance.
If you think that any of the posts that have been made by all TR Members, have solved or contributed to solving the problem, please Mark them as Helpful so that others may benefit from the outcome.

none of those helped
Thanks for the info. None of those seemed to do anything. Hijack did not show anything strange. Any other ideas? Time setting are correct with time zones.
Sounds to me to be a bug in the bios.
Are you able to update the bios on the motherboard?.
If so then this should sort it out.
Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.
If this information is useful, please mark as helpful. Thanks.

strange.... and annoying....
The only thing that comes to mind is a network trojan/ worm.... you could try a scan with Spybot S& (my fav. and free) When you reformatted, and ran all your updates, were your other PC's turned on? If so how long was it before it reverted to 1980? I just checked dells site, The new BIOS update is just for USB... and none of their drivers talk about the date issue... but you could try to update the BIOS (might help) if not, its just another thing to rule out...
Tried all of those things.
Well at first I thought it could be a Norton problem, but that wasn't it. Tried updats, atmoic time programe, Everything is updated. Problem is still there. Dell has replaced motherboard, battery, and bios update. Nothing is fixing this problem. It's stumped everyone anround here in my Tech dept. Thanks for all of your suggestions. I'm trying them all.
Here is a list for you to go through to try and rectify your problem.
Explanation: The CMOS battery is working sometimes, but is occasionally failing, causing loss of BIOS settings or error messages.
Diagnosis: This situation can be very annoying, and in some PCs can last for a very long time. It usually means that the CMOS battery voltage is getting low and that it needs to be replaced, especially if the problem is occurring with increasing frequency. It can also result from a bad connection to the motherboard.
* Double-check the battery connection to the motherboard. If the battery is removable, remove and reinsert it.
* Replace the CMOS battery, if this is possible with your motherboard.
There is an apparent failure of the motherboard or a system device on the motherboard
Explanation: There is suspicion of a possible failure related to the motherboard. This can be a result of a specific message strongly implicating the motherboard in some sort of erratic system behavior. It may also be the case that the motherboard probably isn't the problem, but that we want to rule it out as a possible cause. Since the motherboard is where all the other components meet and connect, a bad motherboard can affect virtually any other part of the PC. For this reason the motherboard must often be checked to ensure it is working properly, even if it is unlikely to be the cause of whatever is happening.
Diagnosis: Outright motherboard failure is fairly rare in a new system, and extremely rare in a system that is already up and running. Usually, the problem is that the motherboard has been misconfigured or there is a failure with one or more of the components that connect to it. Getting a system in the mail that has a loose component or disconnected cable is very common. In fact, though, there are a surprisingly large possible causes for what may appear to be a motherboard failure.
Recommendation: Follow the suggestions below to diagnose the possible failure of the motherboard. You will find a lot of possible causes listed below, since there are so many problems that can make it look like the motherboard is at fault. This part of the Troubleshooting Expert is referenced by a large number of other sections. For this reason, you may want to skip some of the steps below if you have already tried them elsewhere. Also, try to avoid the very difficult diagnostic steps--especially replacing the motherboard--until you have exhausted the other possibilities both here and elsewhere on the site:
* First of all, if you have just recently installed this motherboard, or performed upgrades or additions to the PC of any sort, read this section, which contains items to check that may cause problems after working on the system unit.
* If the PC isn't booting at all, make sure you have at least the minimums in the machine required to make it work: processor, a full bank of memory, video card, and a drive. Make sure that all of these are inserted correctly into the motherboard, especially the memory. Partially inserted memory modules can cause all sorts of bizarre behavior.
* Remove all optional devices from the motherboard, including expansion cards, external peripherals, etc. and see if the problem can be resolved.
* Double-check all the motherboard jumper settings, carefully. Make sure they are all correct. In particular, check the processor type, bus speed, clock multiplier and voltage jumpers. Also make sure the CMOS clear and flash BIOS jumpers are in their normal, default operating positions.
* Reset all BIOS settings to default, conservative values to make sure an overly aggressive BIOS setting isn't causing the problem. Set all cache, memory and hard disk timing as slow as possible. Turn off BIOS shadowing and see if the problem goes away.
* Double-check all connections to the motherboard.
* Check the inside of the case to see if any components seem to be overheating.
* Inspect the motherboard physically. Check to make sure the board itself isn't cracked; if it is look here. Make sure there are no broken pins or components on the board; if there are, you will have problems with whatever component of the PC uses that connection. Check for any socketed components that may be loose in their sockets, and push them gently but firmly back into the socket if this has happened.
* Make sure the keyboard is inserted correctly into the motherboard.
* A failed cache module or using the wrong type can cause motherboard problems. If you suspect it, troubleshoot the secondary cache.
* An overheated processor can cause system problems. Try troubleshooting the processor.
* Troubleshoot the system memory. Memory problems are often mistaken for motherboard faults, especially on systems that don't have the protection of using memory error detection.
* Try troubleshooting the video card or replacing it with another one, preferably a simple straight VGA card that is known to work from being in another system that functioned properly.
* If the power supply is older, or this is a cheap case, or you have added many new drives to a system with a weaker power supply (especially one that is less than 200W) then you may have a power supply problem. You may want to try replacing it.
* You may have a BIOS bug or other problem. Check your manufacturer's technical support resources for any known problems with your motherboard. Check on USEnet as well.
* Contact the technical support department of your system or motherboard manufacturer for additional troubleshooting information. If this is a new motherboard, you may want to consider returning it for an exchange if you have exhausted all other troubleshooting avenues.
* Some newer viruses, when activated, overwrite part of the BIOS code in systems that employ a flash BIOS. If the BIOS is corrupted, the system won't boot.
* Try swapping the motherboard with another one and see if the problem resolves itself. If it does then the original motherboard is probably faulty, but it could just have been misconfigured or installed incorrectly.
Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.
If this information is useful, please mark as helpful. Thanks.
Did the problem
come back in the reformatted PC before or after it was connected to the network.

| 9.7°C Belfast
A Lithuanian man wanted in connection with a horrific murder in his homeland could be on the run in Northern Ireland.
The PSNI has warned that Giedrius Dubosas could be hiding out in Northern Ireland to avoid police investigating the murder of a businessman eight years ago.
The man who died in 2005 is understood to have been tortured in an attack involving an electrical cable.
Dubosas is described as being five foot six inches tall (1.68m), weighs about 15 stone (95kg) and has green eyes.
Police suspect the 36-year-old – who goes by the nickname 'Sabonis' – may be in Co Armagh, Co Tyrone or Co Monaghan in the Irish Republic, where he has links.
He is thought to have been involved at one stage with a criminal gang operating in Monaghan.
Gardai think he was closely associated with members of a Lithuanian gang who had been active in the Ballybay area in the past.
However, he has not been seen there for some time.
A European arrest warrant has been issued for the man.
Police have issued a photograph of the suspect in the hope that someone might recognise him.
Details of his alleged crime and a photograph appeared on last night's BBC Crimewatch programme, as part of the PSNI's appeal for information.
If anyone knows of the Lithuanian's whereabouts or has any information about him, they are asked to contact the PSNI on 0845 600 8000 and ask for the Organised Crime Detectives in Armagh, or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Masada2000 and Jewish Cyber-Bully Culture

Everyone knows the internet can be a nasty place. Foul language, hate, invective, inanity, you name it. But what's less known is that the Jewish web can be equally nasty. We Jews have a reputation for being disputatious and the internet is no exception. I've been blogging for nearly five years. People have wished cancer on me, called for me to be raped by Arabs and killed by "righteous Jews," called my children "simian," claimed I taught them to manufacture Palestinian suicide bombs, etc.
And as a recent Jewish Forward article points out, I'm not the only one. There are Jewish cyber-bullies everywhere:
Orthomom.blogspot.com, which covers Long Island's Orthodox Jewish communities, was the subject of a recent lawsuit brought by a local elected official who charges that she was slandered on the blog. Last February, the official, Pamela Greenbaum, who serves on board of education in Lawrence, N.Y., filed a lawsuit in a New York state court in an attempt to force Google, whose subsidiary hosts the blog, to reveal Orthomom's identity. Greenbaum claims that she was called a "bigot" and an "antisemite" on the blog.
In response to Greenbaum's lawsuit, Public Citizen, a national public interest group that has played a lead role in defending free speech on the Internet, rushed in to defend Orthomom and filed a motion to quash. A decision in the case is still pending.
When Chaim Rubin of Life of Rubin defended Orthomom one of his commenters began berating him for his support of her. The going got nasty and Chaim banned him. The commenter decided to get even and created a blog called Ploni Baloney solely devoted to mocking Chaim. While he believes he knows the identity of the anonymous blogger he has no solid proof. That's precisely the problem with cyber-bullies. They are obsessed to the point of mania. But they prefer to lurk in dark, slimy places.
Steven Plaut is another Jewish cyber-bully who sees it as his role in life to protect the Jewish people from anyone who's ever voiced any criticism of Israel. As Rebecca Spence wrote in The Forward:
In 2006, Neve Gordon, a dovish politics professor at Ben-Gurion University, launched a civil suit against Steven Plaut, a hawkish professor at the Graduate School of Business at the University of Haifa, for referring to him in an article published online as a "fanatic anti-Semite" and a "Judenrat wannabe," among other slurs. Plaut lost and had to pay more than $18,000 in fines to Gordon. Plaut is now appealing the case.
But there is one website that is the sine qua non of Jewish cyber-bullydom. Masada2000 has everything: naked men, dildos, Ariel Sharon in drag, Michael Lerner half-naked in a bath tub, and 7,000 Jews on the S.H.I.T. list. Who could ask for more? What is Masada20000 you ask? It's a strange beast run by someone who conceals his identity behind the moniker Big Al. Big Al is angry in the same way Meir Kahane was angry. Angry at Jewish peaceniks, the Fifth Column of the Jewish people. And doubly angry at perfidious Arabs. Masada2000 has a fetish for what I call Jewish porn. It's obssessed by homosexuality and Nazism. Jews on the S.H.I.T. (Self-Hating and Israel-Threatening Jews) are 'fags,' kapos' and 'Judenrats.' It's as if the site owner absorbed the poison the Nazis spewed against Jews and become what he hates–a Jewish Nazis.
If you're an enemy of the Jewish people in their book, you clearly deserve no privacy and the List often displays images of victims and their private e mail addresses.
I have a personal confession to make. I am on the S.H.I.T. List. In fact, when one of the site's 'friends' or perhaps the owner himself notified me of my "membership" I began a campaign to get the site taken down. Besides the fact that it featured an image of me that I owned and thus violated my copyright, I thought that any site that said that Jewish female peace activists "deserved a good reaming" deserved to be reamed itself. When their webhost took the site down they moved it to a Mormon webhost who didn't seem to mind nudity and lots of F-words directed at "sand niggers" and the like.
Ultimately I failed. No matter how many examples I provided to Bluehost of multiple blatant violations of their Terms of Service, they preferred Masada2000's loot to common decency. But I'm pleased to say that where I failed, someone else succeeded. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you how Masada2000 was brought down since I don't want to let any of its friends in on the secret.
No doubt, you'll read in the comment section below some Kahanewannabe pledging that 'Masada2000 will live forever' and such like. Perhaps. But making life tougher for those who spew hate is truly a mitzvah. And to the site's supporters I say, please don't talk to me about freedom of speech. Freedom of speech does not allow you to violate the law or invade the privacy of thousands of victims by printing their e mail addresses. Besides, when the site has been taken down it has not been because of its political speech, but rather because it violated the host's Terms of Service or violated other provisions that regulate websites (sorry for being so vague). There are many other websites that present a Jewish nationalist perspective without breaking laws and invading privacy.

"I will not give any money to failing banks." In typical style, President John Magufuli has adopted a no-nonsense approach to the troubles of the Tanzanian banking sector.
In March 2018, he ordered the central bank not to rescue any failing bank. Mr Magufuli's angst towards bankers is underpinned by his view that previous government bailouts for the sector, of about 40 banks, were squandered or misused. In any case, it has been about a year since the Bank of Tanzania (BoT) announced new capital rules for banks, as non-performing loans rose sharply. How have Tanzanian banks fared since then?
NPLs continue to rise, hitting profits. As a proportion of total loans, NPLs rose by almost one %age point to 11.7% in December 2017, from 10.6% six months earlier; a deterioration from what was already double the official cap of 5%. Most recently, though, in April 2018, NPLs to gross loans stood at 11.3%. The central bank has been wielding the big stick to stem the tide. It shut down five community banks in early January: Covenant Bank for Women, Efatha Bank, Njombe Community Bank, Kagera Farmers' Cooperative Bank and Meru Community Bank. The January move brought the number of such banks closed to eight.
While this is laudable, it is the domineering few big banks that probably require greater scrutiny and supervision. Tightening of controls on foreign exchange has also been weighing on banks' bottom lines. Return on assets declined to 1.7% in April 2018 from 2.2% only a year before. Return on equity dipped as well; to 7.2% in April 2018, from 10.1% in April 2017.
Interest rates falling, PSCE still low
Unsurprisingly, bank lending to the private sector has slowed. In mid-December, the IMF highlighted reduced public spending and policy uncertainty as some of the reasons why. The central bank gives the sector a clean bill of health, however; reporting in June 2018 that "the banking sector remained sound, stable and profitable with levels of capital and liquidity generally above regulatory requirements."
As at end-April, the BoT put banks' core capital to total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet exposures at 18.7%; well above the minimum 10%. Also, liquid assets to demand liabilities was 39.1% in the same period; well above the minimum 20%. The BoT did highlight a palpable deterioration in NPLs. One of the measures it has put in place to remedy the situation is an insistence that banks compulsorily use credit reference bureau reports for the appraisal of loans; in addition to other strategies it wants banks to develop to "strengthen credit application processing, credit management, monitoring and recovery measures."
To the BoT's credit, though, a joint World Bank/IMF financial sector assessment programme (FSAP) vindicated its position on the soundness and stability of the Tanzanian financial services sector. They note the country's payments, clearing and settlement systems are operating efficiently. In this regard, the central bank has begun engagement with relevant stakeholders to develop a national switch. While still far off, once in place, the national switch would greatly reduce the cost of payment services. Also to this end, the BoT is licensing more payment service providers.
There has also been an increase in transactions in the banking system on the back of an increasing adoption of digital channels. And the BoT continues to make efforts to reduce interest rates. In this regard, it cut its discount rate by 300 basis points to 9% in the period between July 2017 to April 2018. Yields on government securities have certainly followed suit; easing to about 4% in April 2018 from a little above 13% a year before.
By and large, interest rates on commercial loans eased as well; albeit still being high at about 17-18%. But it is an improvement from about 22% hitherto. Encouraged by easing measures by the BoT, which in addition to slashing its discount rate also reduced the statutory minimum reserve requirement, one bank cut its interest rate by half to 11%, from 22% previously.
Consequently, private sector credit extension (PSCE) should improve. Still, PSCE growth of almost 1% in April 2018 is an improvement from negative growth rates in late Q3-2017 and early Q4-2017. Total assets have also been growing steadily; up 5.3% year-on-year to Tsh29.9 trillion in April 2018. Moody's is similarly optimistic. In a mid-March 2018 research note, it avers the Tanzanian "banking system will remain resilient, with improving operating conditions, solid capital and liquidity, despite asset quality and profitability pressure."
Christos Theofilou, vice president and senior analyst at Moody's, explains further: "We expect operating conditions to gradually improve as private sector businesses adapt to higher taxes and liquidity in the system improves with the payment of government arrears and more focus on infrastructure and development plans by the authorities."
Moody's also assesses the country's banks' capital buffers as "among the strongest in sub-Saharan Africa and globally." However, it acknowledges their declining profitability "due to lower interest income, reduced business activity and rising loan-loss provisions." It also believes NPLs might rise some more "due to the continued, delayed impact from last year's public sector job cuts, a corporate liquidity crunch and lower corporate margins following a crackdown on tax collection."
More consolidation expected
On its part, the government has been tidying up its act in the sector, approving the merger of two of the banks it owns in mid-May; Twiga Bancorp and TPB Bank. It is part of a broader planned consolidation of state-owned banks. BoT deputy governor Bernard Kibesse explained the authorities' thinking to the media thus: "We will see more mergers of government-owned banks until we are left with one or just a few banks owned by the government." The central bank would like to see more consolidation in the sector: "We would like more mergers and acquisitions to take place between the existing banks in Tanzania, including those that are privately owned, so that we remain with a few efficient banks," he added.
Key stakeholders in the sector seem receptive to the idea. In about mid-April, Ineke Bussemaker, chief executive of National Microfinance Bank (NMB), the country's largest bank, told Reuters "if there is a coordinated effort to do a consolidation in the banking sector, NMB will play a role."

I admit it: I'm part of a worldwide plot coordinated by a secret international agency. We're the same people who covered the fake Apollo landings, JFK's assassination, and Tom Cruise. Fortunately, some readers uncovered the truth behind the mysterious spiral.
You are right, dear UFO and strange phenomena experts who sent the emails in the gallery. It is true, this is not what happened with the mysterious giant spiral in Norway. And since you are right, I'm sharing your theories on the matter with everyone in Gizmodo (yes, these are serious emails and comments from real readers).

The process was so inefficient that at Toms River, making brown vat dye, a typical example, required five and a half pounds of raw material to produce one pound of finished dye, with almost all of the remainder discarded as waste.
-- Dan Fagin (2 )
Importance: The author explains how much waste was created by dye manufacturing. The waste had to go somewhere. It was a financial and physical burden on the company. They needed a place to put the waste that was cheap and out of sight.
After Paracelsus and Ramazzini, it was clear that many afflictions were a consequence of human action. Risk could be reduced by precaution, or it could be promoted by recklessness in pursuit of treasure.
-- Dan Fagin (2 )
Importance: Previous to this quote, Fagin explains a change in the way medieval medicine was learned. Because of a few doctors who studied workplace environments and the effects on the workers, they were able to...

Use annexation in a sentence
" You may find that there will be an annexation and you will have to find a way to take advantage of the new areas. "
" Although many Ukrainians opposed the annexation of Crimea, the region was ultimately ceded to the Russians as part of a vote. "
" During the mid-1800's, American citizens began pioneering into the near-southwest to work with the Mexican government, which then allowed Texas to became part of the United States through annexation. "

Cartwright, Nancy (2006) From metaphysics to method: comments on manipulability and the causal Markov condition. British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 57 (1). pp. 197-218. ISSN 0007-0882Full text not available from this repository.
Daniel Hausman and James Woodward claim to prove that the causal Markov condition, so important to Bayes-nets methods for causal inference, is the 'flip side' of an important metaphysical fact about causation—that causes can be used to manipulate their effects. This paper disagrees. First, the premise of their proof does not demand that causes can be used to manipulate their effects but rather that if a relation passes a certain specific kind of test, it is causal. Second, the proof is invalid. Third, the kind of testability they require can easily be had without the causal Markov condition.
