Notes by the Way: Laski's Error
Laski's Error.
Professor Harold Laski, writing in the current number of the Political Quarterly, refers to the "well-known" view of Marx and his followers that capitalism can only be overthrown by violent means.
This may be well-known to Professor Laski, but it is unknown to us, and was unknown to Marx. It is a pity that Professor Laski does not give the evidence for his extraordinary statement. When, about three years ago, his book on "Communism" was reviewed in these columns, attention was drawn to other mistaken views about Marx which are held by Laski, but although a copy was sent to him and acknowledged, he did not attempt to defend his statements. He continues to repeat them, still without evidence.

The American Socialist Party Gets Further Away From Socialism.
About a year ago the American Socialist Party, in its endeavour to become more popular, dropped from its constitution the mention of the class-struggle. It is now considering the advisability of dropping the word Socialist from its title and calling itself the "Independent Labour Party." We are sure that all Socialists, both here and in the U.S.A., will be quite enthusiastic about the idea. The American Socialist Party was never in any respect Socialist, and the proposed change of title would clear the way for our colleagues of the American Socialist Education Society to form a real Socialist Party.

The S.L.P. in Trouble.
The Australian S.L.P. has broken with and been repudiated by the parent body in America. The Australians claim that "the American S.L.P. has weakened from the Principles, Policies and Tactics advocated by Daniel De Leon."
The trouble appears to have arisen largely out of the insertion in the American Weekly People of advertisements of books containing matter contrary to the S.L.P. position.
The whole controversy, as described in the Australian Revolutionary Socialist is, however, so clouded under a stream of personal abuse that it is a little difficult to tell what really is the matter. Anyhow, they are annoyed, and describe Peterson, of the American S.L.P. as a "demented being," the associate of "assassins," "slanderers," "larceny – mongers," "thieves," and "thugs."

Global Accent Rugs
There are many people who rely on accent rugs to set the mood in certain rooms in their home. These rugs can vary in size and in some rooms may be used for practical purposes. Having an accent rug in your kitchen or bathroom will protect people from slipping due to water spills on the floor.
Accent rugs can vary greatly in price depending on who you are purchasing them from and the quality of materials that are used. Mohawk accent rugs are high quality – but they are not the top of the market for accent rugs. If you are willing to pay for the highest quality in rugs than you should consider Global accent rugs.
Global accent rugs cater to people who want to spend hundreds of dollars in the highest quality rugs that will help to compliment the décor in your home. Many of the accent rugs that they offer are made from 100% wool, genuine leather, leather fiber, cow hide, and silk. They are made in a variety of ways that include; hand knotted, hand tufted, hand woven, hand made, and hand stitched.
They are each offered in a variety of colors and designs that will help to create an elegant and sophisticated look in your home. Because of the high quality materials and the work that is put into making them they are extremely expensive. They usually cost between $200 to $2,000.


text: In our hectic, over-scheduled existences, we have practically eliminated the idea of "wiggle room" – those spaces in between appointments and deadlines where the beauty of life usually happens. This session shares the merits of a life interspersed with "wiggle room." Because this strategy often leads to more success, we will also talk about motivation for and methods to celebrate wins. Successes aren't easy to come by, but ironically when we get them, we often just move onto the next thing without proper acknowledgement of their existence. Learn the value of celebrating ALL wins and how to do so in a manner that creates even more of them.

Dear Editor,
In 1997 as a senior cell leader at victory church while attending church service, Dr. Mumba announced he was forming National Christian Coalition to sensitise and encourage christians to go into politics and few days later, he addressed us and we asked him how he would field candidates since it was not a political party.
He replied, "I didn't think of that." Brig. Gen. Godfrey Miyanda as Vice President of MMD and Zambia went on ZNBC TV and said, he had read the constitution of NCC, therefore it was a political party.
Pastor Mumba denied untill he changed it to National Citizens Coalition and church cell leaders became his bodyguards and that first Sunday, I led a team of the most affluent Cell members who belonged to my cell in Riverside and walked out of church as we felt betrayed.
When Nevers was our Pastor we had difficulties to defend the infamous house in Riverside he claimed he bought yet he used to camp there for retreat and this poor white widow is alleged to have given him which infuriated her children who were abroad. Because we believed him so much he even had one of Sue Macdemonds a white missionary who came to be his secretary.
We told Mrs Eva Sanderson, that we smelt a rat. Among key members who left church were Jeremiah Phiri a UK trained and a successful proprietor of Dove Computers, Mr. Kapungulya, brother to Mrs Chileshe, French teacher at Mpelembe Secondary School, Late Mrs Antoinette Harrison, a refuge from Rwanda and Boss at Cadbury Schweeps, successful businessman Mr. Singogo of Kitwe, A Mr Phiri who now runs a school with wife in Kitwe also left in disappointment.
We saw Mr. Mukumbi Jonas a lawyer joining church because he had jumped ship of Enock Kavindele's party and Mr. Mukanshi Ben now in South Africa became his lead defenders of the new vision. Over the years, we have been vindicated that the question Frank Mutubila asked Dr Mumba on Frank Talk before he formed the NCC and I quote, "would you one day join politics?" His answer was, "No it would be a demotion to give up my Godly position to serve in government."
He was wrong because he had jumped several canoes if not ships, he became the spokesperson of the elections petitioners and abandoned them, joined MMD and became VEEP. In his quest for "Zambia Shall be Saved" he was fired by Levy when he addressed a press conference when his boss was out of the country and said that Moses Katumbi of DRC was fuelling war against Zambia.
When he left the pulpit, he handed it over to his uncle Rev Lubuto Nsofu, who was a tenant to my grandfather in Riverside extension. He was no favourite of the flock as most preferred Rev Siame who was focused and who used to call a spade a spade. It wasn't long before Rev. Siame formed his own Manna Church because his role was not needed in the family of Victory Church. Most members got disillusioned and left with Rev. Siame.
This is the man, MMD has for president, who got a job from RB as an Ambassador to Canada and used to denounce PF. When he saw PF win, he sounded sympathetic but he was a known opportunist. Yes he was my Pastor, but I have no belief that he means well.
Former Member of Never's Church.

Railroads recognize the importance of advanced weather equipment to effectively deal with high wind hazards, hump yard efficiency and safety, and hazardous materials response. North America's railroads have chosen Coastal's WEATHERPAK® for its ruggedness, accuracy, and reliability.
WEATHERPAK® is available as both fixed and portable systems. Principal measurements include wind (speed, direction, and gust), temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. Other sensors, such as precipitation and visibility, are available.
Where Ethernet access is available, WEATHERPAK® PoE (Power over Ethernet) is easily installed. One cable provides both power and data retrieval. Simply identify the site, install the station, and plug in one cable.
With Ethernet, you can also quickly create a weather station network.
Where Ethernet is not available, WEATHERPAK provides many telemetry options ranging from direct RS-232/485 output, to fiber optic, radio, GSM and satellite communication.
From the North Sea, to the Gulf of Mexico, to the waters off Nova Scotia, Coastal's systems on offshore platforms aid in helicopter operations, as well as standard weather reporting. Many systems also monitor other parameters, such as water temperature.
Built around Coastal's WEATHERPAK®, these systems are extremely rugged, accurate and reliable.
Customers include: TRANSAS, Shell Oil, Ecopetrol, Transocean, Boeing, and the Arabian Oil Company.
For Boeing, two WEATHERPAK systems are installed on both sides of the platform because a large radar in the center impacts winds from either direction. The WEATHERPAK systems automatically report the "upwind" sensor readings to the ship's LAN.
Coastal's agricultural weather stations monitor soil and crop conditions, evapotranspiration, and provide pest management calculations and other measurements of interest in agricultural applications.
In addition to the typical suite of agricultural weather sensors, the data logger is capable of reading and processing data from any type of sensor. It can call out an alarm or trigger a relay for sound alarms, lights, or bells, and perform self-tests on sensors. The data logger can also execute some actions, such as opening and closing valves, and turning pumps on and off.
Individual sensors are selected specific to an application, such as leaf-wetness for a forestry system. Similarly, weather stations designed for wildland fire response and management can provide information such as fire rating calculations and fuel moisture measurements.
Customers include: CARGILL Corporation, Arkansas State Plant Board, Purdue University, Monsanto, National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), University of Washington, Texas Natural Resources Center, Mexico CICESE Government Research Institute, four Chinese research institutes, and the Government of Greece.
The PSD weather station employs an advanced data logger/data acquisition system, allowing it to function as a standalone data collection platform, or when integrated with one of our many telemetry options, to deliver data right to your desk using Coastal's INTERCEPT® software.
The PSD Tower System measures wind speed and direction, air temperature at 2- and 10-meter heights, and the amount of incoming solar radiation. This allows users to be compliant with both the sigma theta and the SRDT methods of stability computation. Once these values are measured, a series of calculations are completed in the data logger to determine the average values for all the measured parameters (15-minute intervals), the sigma theta, and the delta T.
The sophistication of the data logger allows you to actually receive these two sets of data: (1) the standard 15-minute averages required under PSD, and (2) a 30-second update of a running 5-minute average. The second of these measurements means that you will get data every 30 seconds either at the display or on your PC. This data can be used with off-the-shelf emergency response plume models (ALOHA®*, PEAC-WMD®**, COBRA, etc.) or to aid in other weather sensitive operations.
A variety of weather sensors are often added to a PSD weather station and may include: relative humidity, barometric pressure, rainfall, and others.
*ALOHA: registered trademark of the US EPA and NOAA
**PEAC-WMD: registered trademark of Aristatek, Inc.
WEATHERPAK® weather stations at industrial sites and chemical facilities are used for:
WEATHERPAK provides site-specific, real-time data on environmental conditions. Data can be used for any compliance purpose and is approved by the EPA and other agencies.
If a hazardous materials incident should occur, this information may be critical to the safety of employees and response personnel.
Add Coastal's INTERCEPT software for easy browser-based data collection, computation and display. INTERCEPT provides alerts and alarms, station polling, and permission-controlled data access via the Web; plus it archives data.

Singapore fantasy fiction takes flight
Speculative fiction set in the Republic is gaining traction here, with at least eight home-grown works published in the last six months
Beyond the familiar realities of Housing Board void decks and the Marina Bay skyline, other worlds are mushrooming. Merlions rise from the ruins of a future Singapore to rip war machines apart; clones of founding premier Lee Kuan Yew battle to graduate from a secret academy; MRT trains disappear into tunnels, never to be seen again.
Speculative fiction in Singapore is gaining ground, with at least eight home-grown novels and anthologies in this vein published in the last six months.
Speculative fiction is a blanket term used for literature that asks, "What if?". These weird works span science fiction, fantasy, the supernatural and that which falls into the cracks among these genres.
After decades of being dismissed for not being "literary" enough, compared with the social realism that has long been local fiction's mainstay, it is emerging from the woodwork.
Leading the charge is The Gatekeeper, a novel which plants the figure of Medusa - a snake-haired monstress from Greek mythology who turned those she gazed upon into stone - in a fantasy landscape woven from threads of the Malay Archipelago's history and Malay folklore.
Released last month, it bagged its author Nuraliah Norasid $25,000 in last year's Fiction Prize by local publisher Epigram Books, beating other works that might be considered more traditionally "literary".
Epigram founder Edmund Wee, 64, says: "We don't publish only high fiction. The genre to us is not important. The Gatekeeper was just really well-written."
For her novel, Nuraliah, 30, drew on Singapore's often overlooked pre-colonial history. "I was looking at submerged histories," she says. "These are overshadowed by more mainstream histories - like how, for the longest time, it's been said that before the coming of Sir Stamford Raffles, Singapore was just a fishing village. But it was already a hub in many respects for not just trading, but also religious education."
To this end, she invented the "submerged" tongue of Tuyunri, after studying how fictional languages such as Dothraki from Game Of Thrones were created.
In the book's island world of Manticura, humans co-exist uneasily with other sapient races.
While Nuraliah says she had no explicit intention of making statements about race beyond highlighting the diversity within Singapore and the region, the novel, in its own quiet way, deals with alienation and the condition of living on the margins of society.
Such fiction can be a subversive way of delivering social critique, says writer Jason Erik Lundberg, who in 2012 founded Lontar, the first biannual literary journal to focus on South-east Asian speculative fiction.
"It shows alternate points of view. It explores these big subjects in ways that are accessible," says the 41-year- old, who at first had to "go around begging for stories" for Lontar. The journal is now thriving, with an eighth issue out last month.
According to writer Ng Yi-Sheng, who has done research into the history of genre fiction in Singapore, local speculative fiction has its roots in the little-known 1950s ghost stories penned by the late Minister of Social Affairs Othman Wok, then a journalist for Malay newspaper Utusan Melayu and Malay magazine Mastika, as well as the early uncanny works of Catherine Lim.
The few antecedents for local fantasy novels include Gwee Li Sui's recently reprinted graphic novel Myth Of The Stone (1993).
Singapore Science Fiction, a 1980 anthology drawn from the entries to a short story competition, sparked a local interest in the genre and was followed by landmark works such as Han May's Star Sapphire (1985), in which a young Asian scientist joins the crew of an intergalactic starship in the 23rd century.
Despite this, the genre did not really take root in Singapore. Veteran poet Kirpal Singh, one of the editors of the 1980 anthology, attributes this to the disdain with which it was met by the literary community.
Nevertheless, the Singapore Management University associate professor of English literature believes science fiction should be compulsory teaching in schools.
"Nations with the best science fiction - America, Poland, the Nordic countries - are doing very well today in terms of emotional and ideological adjustments to the new technological era," he says. "Whereas countries such as Singapore tend to be mostly apprehensive and thus afraid of tomorrow."
But in recent years, it appears Singaporean readers are daring to dream a little bigger. "Previously, people dismissed such works as daydreams," says Ng. "Now, people are taking them seriously."
In a mark of the changing times, the Singapore Writers Festival will be making speculative fiction one of its areas of focus for its 20th edition in November.
Festival director Yeow Kai Chai calls speculative fiction "one of the more exciting creative phenomena today, with the line between literary and genre fictions getting blurred".
He is intrigued by the cropping up of local speculative anthologies in recent years, such as last year's This Is How You Walk On The Moon, Eastern Heathens (2013) and The Ayam Curtain (2012).
"That's why this year, we are highlighting speculative fiction and the different ways it compels us to imagine and ask questions about the fate of humanity, the environment and alternate realities."
Twists on the familiar
Speculative fiction has long been considered the province of the West, but local writers are striving to make it their own.
Architect Tham Cheng-E, 37, says: "UFOs and little green men with ray-guns always preferred the larger countries. They loved the United States so much they kept going back."
But if one really wanted to hide a secret, he thought, would not a sleepy fishing village on a tiny island be the best place?
Cue Surrogate Protocol, his historical science-fiction novel released last week, about an ageless amnesiac who has hidden in Singapore for more than a century from the secret agents hunting him for his immortal blood.
Others set out to reclaim well-worn national icons such as the Merlion. Linguistics student Kevin Martens Wong, 24, felt it was "unfairly maligned" as an artificial construct. "I set out to give it a mythology and work it into a setting that made it natural."
In his novel Altered Straits, which came out in February, deadly Merlions are weaponised in the 1940s through forced pair-bonding with child soldiers. Meanwhile, in the future, the dystopian ruin of Singapore is under threat by a hive intelligence and a Singapore Armed Forces officer must go back in time to obtain a Merlion to battle it.
Librarian Zed Yeo last November published young adult novel Half Ghost, about a boy who is part- jiangshi - a Chinese vampire - and who, after stumbling into a hellish dimension of his HDB block, is hunted by a pontianak.
Yeo, 33, wanted to give heartland kids a supernatural story set in the HDB corridors and back alleys they know. "If in stories, you don't see yourself as a hero, you'll believe that you're not a hero. Do we want our kids to be heroes? Of course I do."
For other writers, alternative realities provide a chance to explore socio-political situations without being overt.
Short story collection Track Faults And Other Glitches by journalist Nicholas Yong, 36, satirises in its first story the shuffling bureaucracy of the civil service, as the Ministry of Zombie Advancement is faced with a viral epidemic that turns zombies into humans. It is called - in a nod to civil service lingo - the "Revert Virus". "Why is that?" demands one of the more clueless directors. "Is it spread by e-mail?"
In J.Y. Yang's short story Auspicium Melioris Aevi - its title is taken from the Latin motto of Raffles Institution, which translates it as "Hope Of A Better Age" - a secret academy clones world leaders, who compete fiercely to graduate. One of the clones of the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew begins to question the system and sets out to subvert it.
Since it was published in March in the three-year-old online journal Uncanny Magazine, Yang's story has become the sixth most read original work on the international site.
The 31-year-old believes the qualities of speculative fiction make it easier to transcend cultural boundaries and reach readers elsewhere. "You're talking about alien planets and fantasy worlds. It's an excuse to say it's culturally unrelatable."
Speculative fiction is also a way to cope with changes close to home.
A flurry of upgrading projects in freelance writer Clara Chow's HDB estate "were messing with my memory and sense of belonging in strange ways", she says.
The 39-year-old put together short story collection Dream Storeys based on buildings dreamt up by architects she interviewed - self- destructing malls, print-to-order flats and even the Singapore Flyer as a political prison.
Her buildings need not ripple into reality to effect change, she adds. "It's just enough that they exist on paper as an alternative, a reminder to people that things don't necessarily only have to be one rigid way."
Nuraliah says: "A friend of mine once said the buildings in Singapore look like hibernating robots, ready to roll out the moment the Government pushes a button.
"We must learn to find fantasy in hidden corners. I believe it's there."

Today kicks off National Novel Writing Month, better known as NaNoWriMo, which is a horrible pseudo-acronym. I can only imagine it came about because everyone that participates in the main event is in a huge hurry. The deal is you have to write a 50,000-word novel in 30 days. Crazy, right? Which is why I'm doing it. In order to make it to the finish, I have to average a little under 1700 words per day. Or, what is more likely to happen, 50,000 words on the last night of the month. Either way, here goes…
6 thoughts on "I'm gonna be (50,000 words)"
i know about nanowrimo! and i agree – the pseudo acronym sucks
I also plan on writing 50,000 on November 30th – that's well thought out, right?

Reconfiguring a lot
This page provides key information relating to reconfiguring a lot.
What is meant by reconfiguring a lot?
Reconfiguring a lot means:
- creating lots by subdividing another lot
- amalgamating two or more lots
- rearranging the boundaries of a lot*
- dividing lots into parts by agreement*
- creating an access easement*.
Please note: Where marked '*', refer to the dictionary definitions in the Planning Act 2016.
Subdivision is code assessable in all zones within the City Plan Part 5.6 Tables of Assessment, provided the designated lot sizes can be met.
Subdivision - what is the minimum lot size?
To determine the minimum lot size for your subdivision where code assessable, the following steps need to be followed:
- Identify what zone you are in.
- To check what zone is applicable to your property you can:
- search your property on the City Plan interactive mapping tool; or
- call us on 07 5582 8708.
- To check what zone is applicable to your property you can:
- Identify if the property has any overlays which impact minimum lot size.
- Check if any of the below overlays are applicable to your property:
- ridges and significant hills protection overlay
- residential density overlay
- minimum lot size overlay.
- To check whether any of these overlays apply to your property you can:
- search your property on the City Plan interactive mapping tool - click on your property and view the detailed property report; or

Boundary realignments
Boundary realignments require City approval. The application is code assessable. The realigned lots need to comply with the relevant zone code requirements and allow for the lawful use of the affected lots.
Dividing land into parts by agreement
Dividing land into parts by agreement is commonly known as developing community title schemes for dual occupancy or multiple dwelling developments. A community title scheme is generally required to allow for the separate occupation and ownership of parts of a property, e.g. units, industrial units, retail floor space. Dividing land by an agreement is code assessable for all zones stated within Part 5.6 of the City Plan.
Creating an access easement
Creating an access easement is generally in addition to any of the above forms of reconfiguring a lot to allow access between a property and a constructed road. Creating an access easement is code assessable for all zones stated within Part 5.6 of the City Plan.

There's a classic moment from the silent film era that's ingrained in our collective memory. Sure, you may not know that it's Buster Keaton in the scene, or that it's from the full-length comedy Steamboat Bill Jr., but you'd recognize it nonetheless. A man is standing in front of an old building during a storm when the front of the house falls forward, and it would crush the actor were it not for a tiny open window that his body threads through. It's a classic gag, and one of Keaton's best — which is saying quite a bit for the king of physical humor. Steamboat Bill Jr. is one of the last films Keaton had full creative control over, and you can tell. From how the camera carries from bit to bit to the charming way he underdogs the thing, this is a classic. You can see it at 7 p.m. Sunday when the Lord of Life Lutheran Church (3601 W. 15th St., Plano) screens it, for free, with an organ accompaniment. Assuming your stigmata doesn't act up, that's one heck of a deal. Visit lol-plano.org.

ore peaceful protests have been reported from Kardze Prefecture during the first days of the Tibetan New Year. On February 28, a huge Tibetan national flag was hung on the wall of a police station in Lhoba Township, Kardze County. The phrase "Independence for Tibet" was painted in huge red letters just below the flag. This township was one of two locations mentioned by name in a Radio Free Asia report (cited here on Friday), in which government-sponsored cultural performances were pre-empted by hundreds of posters urging people not to attend such propaganda shows. Spectators failed to show up for these performances, even at the Kardze County headquarters, and the travelling CCP minstrel shows were abruptly cancelled.
On March 1, the same day that hundreds of monks protested in Ngaba against restrictions of their rights to carry out religious observances, three separate protest demonstrations took place in Kardze calling for Tibetan independence. The first (briefly mentioned in the previous post with reporting by RFA) took place at 10 am at the Su-ngo Township headquarters. Two nuns, Pema Yangtso, 22, and Jampa Lhamo, 36, distributed leaflets and called for the Dalai Lama's return home, respect for human rights and religious freedom, and release of the Panchen Lama and Tibetan political prisoners. The two nuns belong to Shi-lus Hermitage Nunnery, located three kilometres from Kardze town centre. Sources told Voice of Tibet radio service that the nuns are being held in a prison beneath a hospital in Kardze town.
A few hours later at around 1 pm, two students identified as Rinchen Phuntsok, 15, and Tsering Drakpa, 17, along with a monk named Achoe, 22, led a peaceful protest at Kardze County headquarters. The students attend the Chinese Middle School in Kardze County. A third protest that day carried out by an unidentified woman was also reported by local sources, and another solo protest on March 6 was also reported but is unconfirmed. Voice of Tibet reported that these protests all took place on March 5 rather than March 1, and that two monks and three other men were severely beaten up after their protests. VoT also indentified another arrested layperson as Chonyi Gyaltsen, 18, and says that two other men were arrested for protesting on March 6.
"Residents physically wrestled with the monks trying to stop them from a possible shooting by Chinese security forces who were all set to press the trigger. Monks were arguing with their family members who stopped them. Some monks said they are protesting in support of the Kirti monk who immolated himself on [February] 27."
On the first day of Losar (Feb. 25) around 100 monks of Lutsang Monastery conducted a candle-light procession to the Mangra County headquarters and held a vigil there (earlier report here). Times of London now reports that the Lutsang monks will be rounded up today for re-grooving.
The rounding up of 109 monks from Lutsang monastery in Qinghai province, western China, is one of a series of extraordinary security measures being implemented to prevent restive Tibetans from commemorating the anniversary with protests against Chinese rule...Communications networks are being shut down for "routine maintenance" until April 1, and Tibetan web portals have been similarly shut down for "repairs." A Tibetan man who runs the Chomei (Eng: "Lamp") language and culture website was arrested from his home in Kanlho Prefecture (Ch: Gannan Pref., Gansu prov.) on February 26. Kunchok Tsephel's house was ransacked in a search for incriminating material, and his computer seized. Born in 1970, he completed primary and middle school in Machu County, and in 1989 he left his country and enrolled in a Tibetan school in India. After completing his studies in Tibetan and English languages, he returned to Tibet in 1994.
Qinghai provincial officials did not say where the monks who took part in the 30-minute candle-light vigil on February 25 would be taken or for how long. It is common for government teams to enter Tibetan monasteries to carry out "patriotic education" in which lamas are required to pledge their allegiance to Beijing and to denounce the Dalai Lama.
Tsephel was arrested by PSB officials in 1995 and kept in detention for two months, during which he was subjected to torture. In the following years he studied languages in Beijing and Lanzhou, and was later recruited as a Tibetan and English teacher in Machu County. Together with a poet friend, he started the Chomei website in 2005. The site had been harassed by the authorities many times during the past two years.
In Golog, Amdo (ch: Qinghai) a protest broke out yesterday involving dozens of local people, reportedly after police conducted identity inspections of timber-hauling trucks. Early today, several small improvised explosives tore the roofs from a police car and fire truck at the remote Makahe timber farm. No injuries were reported.
Dartsedo (Ch: Kangding), the capital of Kardze Prefecture, has now been declared completely off-limits to foreigners. The town had been the last little bit of Kardze to have remained open until now.
"There is a special situation and we hope you can leave as soon as possible," Zhang Lijuan of the Ganzi prefecture foreign affairs office told Associated Press reporters in Kangding. "Normally, this is an open place and we would welcome you. But because of this special situation, it's not convenient."Riot police and machine gun-toting soldiers now march around in front of the Dartsedo town square.
All the people who work for the local administration had to sign a paper with fingerprints that said that they would not burn incense and pray. The annual worship of the mountain deities and religious activities have also been forbidden in other villages of the region. What do you think when you hear this news my friends?The Kardze County court has sentenced four more nuns for protesting last year. Tashi Lhamo, Serka and Youghal Khando were sentenced to two-year prison terms, while Rinzin Choetso was handed a three-year term. The nuns, from Puru-na Nunnery in Kardze County, were among fifty nuns who protested peacefully at the county headquarters on May 14, 2008. The four are serving their time at a prison in Chengdu. The whereabouts and well-being of seven other nuns from Puru-na still remains unknown.
Three freedom-fighting elders, with 53 years of Chinese jail-time between them, share their memories of Tibet's half century of agony at the Sydney Morning Herald. It's worth a read.
Also worth a read, though I haven't had time yet, is the new report on last year's crackdown published today by the International Campaign for Tibet. A Great Mountain Burned by Fire: China's Crackdown in Tibet looks to contain new information and new photographs of China's suppression campaign, as well as translations of Tibetan blog posts, emails and articles on the crackdown. Also included are the first translations from the only known book published in the PRC about the uprising.
This collection of writing, 'The Eastern Snow Mountain', by Tibetans still in Tibet was banned almost as soon as it appeared. One of the authors writes: "In a year that turned out to be like a raging storm… how could we remain… in fear. [This work is] a sketch of history written in the blood of a generation."A press briefing on the report was held this morning in Dharamsala, with Tibetan sources present. A press briefing in Brussels will also take place today.

Every marketer's dream is to be an economic seer and prophet. Essentially, they strive to look at people's and businesses' wants and needs through the crystal ball of segmentation theory, use a miscellany of sophisticated tools as magic wands and, ultimately, try to outgun one another in this intricate trade. In a nutshell, up until recently, secondary indicators of an audience's interest in whatever these marketers' companies produce or sell were the main source of Marketing insights. Why up until recently? Because, not so long ago, a true game-changer burst on the scene, coming to their aid. This game-changer is a technique called Text Mining.
Text mining represents part of the area of knowledge known as Natural Language Processing and Understanding, that, similar to human understanding, allows deriving meaning from a larger context around an entity. Regardless of whether this entity is an individual or a business. Know what this means? Yes, you can directly get a fix on your audience's buying intent. In addition, the technology offers some novel ways of determining the attitude of your target audience toward your brand, products, or services. Notably, the speed and breadth at which insights can be generated by NLP-powered text analytics are incomparably superior to what human-enabled processes can offer.Let's look at some of the ways this can be done.
Identifying B2B and B2C Buying Intent
If you are a marketer whose task is to identify individuals or businesses on the lookout for a product or commodity, with Text Mining the sky's your limit. Let's assume that you are after those folks who intend to buy a set of kitchens utensils and are currently poised for choice. When equipped with Text Analytics functionality, your system will be capable of finding all mentions of this product in the social network via which you promote your kitchen stuff. Next, in emulation of human understanding, the system will analyze the context in which the mention of the product in question occurs. It will do so by parsing the words and words combinations in the related phrases and comparing those with other similar contexts in order to identify buying intent. Pretty cool, isn't it? But that's not all yet. You can also identify those potential buyers, who are after nonstick cookware with a Teflon coating or can cook in yellow-handled pans only. In other words, you can sift through the various contexts in a multi-tiered manner by indicating product properties and related conditions. Similarly, if you are in B2B, you can sift through vast numbers of websites in order to identify your potential clients. You can search for calls for tender, partnership opportunities, and more.
Unlike segmentation or the various rule-based approaches, a Text Mining technique called Entity Recognition allows you to split out the so called Named Entities from, virtually, any kind of textual information, be it corporate websites, forum posts, or twits. These Named Entities can represent individuals, brands, or organizations. Next, the system processes all textual information associated with a found Named Entity and explores the related context. Thus, you can find out what your audience thinks about your company or brand. This kind of analysis is, usually, referred to as Opinion Mining.Increasing Your Email Marketing Campaigns' Performance
When combined with some other NLP techniques, Text Mining can be used for another hugely important Marketing purpose, – predicting how efficient your email marketing campaigns can be. Your email-related textual information can be mined in order to extract a set of entities and other textual information that is meaningful for the purpose of a campaign.
Next, it is possible to build a predictive model that will take into consideration the extracted entities and other textual features, taken from your previous campaigns. For this purpose, both subject line texts and other criteria, such as for example, the email domain and season that the emails were sent, can be used. As far the subject line texts are concerned, sentence structure, thematic word groups, style, and the quality of grammar are all taken into consideration. For example, by selecting the more productive variables, you can achieve a higher Open Email Rate, thus making your email Marketing efforts more efficient.

A man successfully appealed the length of his driving licence suspension last week, after complaining to the Grand Court that the punishment had forced him into unemployment.
Keith Barnes lost his licence for 12 months and received a $1,840 fine after he was caught in late December 2007 driving an unregistered and un-roadworthy car without insurance.
'I'm begging for leniency' the heavy machinery operator told the Grand Court, saying his livelihood depended on having his licence. He has now been unemployed for four months, but would be able to return to work immediately if his license was reinstated, he said.
Under the Traffic Law, people convicted of driving without insurance, vehicle registration or a certificate of roadworthiness can be suspended from driving for 12 months and are also liable to fines.
The fact that someone lost their job because of their licence suspension is not necessarily a special reason for lessening their sentence, Justice Alexander Henderson, who heard the appeal, said, but in this case 'it's a pretty steep penalty,' he said.
He said the Magistrate had not been incorrect in initially imposing a 12 month suspension, but indicated the situation had been changed because Barnes had been without work for four months and had a job waiting for him if he won his licence back.
'When measured against the wrongdoing I find special reasons exist, which will reduce your period of suspension to seven months and permit you to get your job back,' the judge said.
Mr. Barnes had told the court he purchased the car on 23, December, 2007, and was stopped by police officers at a West Bay roadblock on 26 December. He said he thought the car was insured, but knew it wasn't registered.
He had been driving the car back from a mechanic's garage when police stopped him, he said, and had planned to get the car registered after the Christmas holidays.
Mr. Barnes represented himself during the Grand Court appeal Friday.

One of the most frequent questions I hear from caregivers is how to deal with a senior who will never let them out of their sight. This can be a real challenge for caregivers who need to go to work, take care of other family members or just have a little downtime to themselves. Even the most mundane and stress-free tasks can become difficult when your loved one is following you around the house or calling incessantly to inquire when you'll be home.
The best way to approach this dilemma is to determine the underlying cause(s) of this clingy behavior. There are a few common reasons why seniors tend to demand constant assistance, attention or companionship, and there are different strategies for addressing each. Peruse the following five dynamics to see which one best describes your predicament and how to remedy it.
Five Types of Clingy Elders
- The Puppy.
This individual is perfectly safe and has no behavioral disorder which causes them to become overly anxious when left alone or with a friend, another family member, or a paid caregiver. However, they strongly prefer that you be around all the time. If you're dealing with a senior like this, the best solution is, with all due respect, training.
Most caregivers have probably tried to have a reasonable conversation with loved ones who have this issue, but an additional step is usually necessary to successfully modify their behavior. First, explain why you can't be with them every minute, then respectfully negotiate and offer rewards for desired behavior. For example, when you need some alone time to handle laundry, run errands or decompress, offer incentives like a treat or one-on-one time together after they allow you to complete the task on your own and with minimal grief. It sounds simple, but as with a puppy, it is helpful to give choices and let your loved one pick from different alternatives that you're okay with.
Keeping a senior occupied can be helpful as well. Whether it is watching a TV show, chatting on the phone with a friend, attending adult day care, working in the garden, or going on an outing with another caregiver, ensuring your loved one is busy at the same time you are can help keep their attention focused on something other than your absence. It is impossible for one person to be a 24/7 caregiver, entertainer, friend, nurse, cook and maid. Sometimes, you will just need to go and take time to yourself. Try to stop feeling guilty about this. If your loved one protests, just know that they're safe and will get over this "slight" eventually.
- The Worrywart.
This person is generally safe on their own but tends to panic when they are left alone (or with another caregiver). Sometimes this is due to behavioral issues which may or may not be related to their medical conditions. If your loved one is naturally a nervous person, the situation is more complicated, especially if they suffer from an anxiety disorder. In this case, it may be best to seek help from a mental health professional. These providers can offer techniques like therapy and/or medication to help alleviate an elder's anxiety.
Your care recipient's need to have you close is very real to them and an urgent matter. No amount of reasoning will change the fear that their separation anxiety causes. In this case, it is important to find ways to help your loved one feel safe when you can't be around, but don't expect them to be able to deal with the situation entirely on their own.
Appropriate strategies will depend on the severity of their attachment to you, but it's best to draw on familiarity to find a back-up source of comfort that will help keep their nervousness in check. For example, jumping into respite options like adult day care will likely cause your loved one to become frantic or even experience a panic attack. The combination of your absence, strangers and new surroundings could be very overwhelming. It's best to slowly incorporate new caregivers and environments into their routine one at a time before attempting to step away even briefly.
- The Veteran of Aging.
This type of clingy senior has actually had a bad experience in the past when the desired caregiver wasn't around. Their issues with separation stem from a deep fear that this distressing event will happen again. Such an attachment often develops after a senior experiences a scare, such as a fall, a stroke or heart attack, while alone. Unlike the worrywart type, who is plagued by unfounded anxieties, the veteran's worst "what-if" scenario has already occurred.
Your loved one has come to associate you with safety and security and feels that they are vulnerable when you're not around. While this reasoning isn't totally sound, it is certainly understandable and you must acknowledge their fear of a repeat event. If you can help them to understand that they are clinging to you because of a past experience, it may be possible to put safety nets in place that provide support and reassurance in your stead. For example, purchashing a wearable emergency alert system or arranging phone calls at agreed upon intervals might help them feel more confident and less alone while you're away.
- The Amnesiac.
Perhaps the saddest situation is a loved one who is oblivious to the fact that they are constantly demanding your presence. This is often the result of dementia and other neurological disorders that inhibit a senior's ability to recognize that their behavior and expectations are unreasonable. Memory issues can also cause a senior to repeatedly seek attention and reassurance because they cannot remember that their caregiver has already met these needs.
Shadowing is another behavioral symptom of dementia that is commonly confused with intentional clinginess. It occurs when someone with dementia closely follows their caregiver around the house or works to keep them in sight at all times. Caregivers usually find this behavior oppressive and consider it an invasion of their personal space, but there is little that can be done to minimize it.
As a dementia caregiver, your best bet is to grit your teeth and do what you need to do, without taking anything your loved one says or does too personally. When Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia is present, it is helpful to remember that your loved one's brain is broken, and they cannot be reasoned with. Redirection is a useful tool in dementia care that may help some caregivers slip away for a while. It's best not to make a big deal out of temporary absences, as they can be upsetting for a dementia patient and those in the later stages will likely forget your absence before long. Just ensure that your loved one is safe and supervised when you are not present. Because dementia is different for every person and the symptoms usually fluctuate from day to day, you'll probably have to work on addressing additional issues like emotional outbursts or incessant phone calls as they arise.
- The Manipulator.
This individual understands that they are not at risk on their own. However, they are always keenly aware of when you plan to head out on your own and coincidentally become panicked or ill just before you're supposed to leave. Their aim is to keep you close at hand and, for many caregivers, this exploitive agenda works. The manipulative family member is the toughest of the clingy seniors to handle. In this case, your loved one knows exactly how to push your buttons and does so for his or her own gain. This may be due to a senior's personality, or it could be the result of a caregiver enabling a senior's reliance on others.
A word of caution: try not to be too quick to conclude that this is the explanation for your situation. Make sure that you have considered all other possible reasons first. For example, certain dementia behaviors can come across as manipulative when they are actually out of a senior's control. So many caregivers become frustrated and assume that their loved ones are being cunning when, in fact, their behavior is representative of an entirely different problem.
If you are convinced that you are being manipulated, then it is up to you to decide that you're not going to fall into the trap anymore. You're unlikely to change your care recipient's behavior, so your only option is to change how you allow yourself to react. You must set firm boundaries and require that the senior respect them or else there will be consequences. If an elder is particularly devious and self-absorbed, learning to detach with love will help you set and maintain these boundaries without feeling guilty.

On landing in San Diego Bay in 1542, Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo claimed the region for Spain, forming the basis for the settlement of Alta California 200 many years later. The Presidio and Mission San Diego de Alcalá, founded in 1769, formed the very first European settlement in what is now California. In 1821, San Diego grew to become element of the newly declared Mexican Empire, which reformed as the Initial Mexican Republic two many years later.

Bronson Motor Speedway
Does anyone know when Bronson opens? Or if they've started racing again already??
There is a good article on Florida Flag Stand....here is the link.
Whats really funny is they speak about "bringing a humbleness" to the track in an interview with Karnac. This was in the beginning of the year. Here is the link to that interview:
Say one thing and do another....typical race track promoter double talk!

One of the questions I asked Ann Young back in mid March was "Why do you feel you will be successful at Bronson Speedway considering that the track has had many operators in the past and many tracks have closed in Florida."
This is the complete response I got from her:
"First let me say that failure is not an option. We plan to bring a humbleness to racing at the track. Our drivers, car owners, crew members, and fans will be treated as if they were clients and guests. They will be treated with the utmost respect. It will be our privilege to serve them. Any employee that does not heed this policy will not be employed for long at this track."
The first few words of her response are all important. The Youngs do not want to fail. They want to make sure that Bronson Speedway is the best it can possibly be for the racers and fans as well. They have high standards for what they want the facility to be like and how it will be run. I respect the Youngs desire to make Bronson Speedway a premier race facility and I would hope you feel the same.
Since I wrote that article I have checked back from time to time with Ann. She has told me that an announcement to the media will be made at the right time: when the track is ready to be reopened. Be patient and I feel you'll be duly reward when you'll get a premier race facility in the state of Florida that you will be proud of.
As a sidebar I'd like to correct some misinformation that has gotten out in the public from another racing media outlet. The Youngs never ran a racetrack up North for 30 years. The thirty years Ann refers to are the number of years that her family has been involved in racing from a competitors stand point. Her husband, Chris, has been a successful NASCAR modified driver at Riverhead Raceway for decades and a frequent driver on the NASCAR Modified Tour. She has a son who is following in Chris' footsteps racing Legend cars.
The Youngs have competed at many highly successful NASCAR sanctioned tracks throughout the Northeast. They have seen first hand, from the all important driver, car owner prospective, what it takes to run a track effectively and appreciated respectful treatment. The Youngs want to bring that kind of caring track management to Bronson Speedway.
Explain to us why they have kept everybody in the dark, wont return telephone calls, emails, etc from potential fans and drivers? That is business 101! Being "involved" in racing and actually running a facilty are two totally different venues. The manner in which they have handled their affairs up to this point is very piss poor.

Please remember that racing is a business. Tell me how many businesses you know of that made official announcements of their grand opening when they were not ready to open.
I know there is a lot of excitement and anticipation building up around the new ownership and racing coming back to Bronson Speedway. Ann has told me a media announcement will be made at the right time.
Common sense has to come into play here folks: if this business is not ready to be reopened then it is not ready to be reopened plain and simple. Be patient, don't be a pest with constant calls and emails as to when they are going to be reopening. When the track is ready to be reopened we'll all get the word.
If a new Walmart was going to open in your area would you be constantly emailing or phone calling Bentonville, Arkansas asking them when it was going to be opening? I doubt it. You'd wait patiently until they made their official announcement. That's Business 101. How is this any different?

Mini. You just posted on another topic about bashing and complaining about tracks. You said, I think you are right, the bad apples should be thrown out before they spoil the fun for the rest of us. Or something like that.
Things that make you go hummmm.
Mabe the Young's need to start their list before they even open. It is already getting sour around here. I'm just say'n.
Talk about calling the kettle black! I remember recently you crying like a little girl over a transmission issue when the rules are CLEARLY written.An obvious issue vs. somebody who does NOTHING but complain, like yourself is not compairing apples to apples. All I am saying regarding this matter is they could have gone about it in a totally different manner....its not what you say to people sometimes, its just how you say it. Being arrogant and high minded towards potential customers is not cool in my book, in any business. That's my gripe on this one and I am certain MANY others feel the same way.

sent a polite e-mail to bronson speedway yesterday morning and received a response within 10 minutes. I now know I will be racing my modified at Bronson this year. Just dont know when. the When doesnt bother me. When they are ready I will be ready. Gives me more time to add to my racing funds.

Mini. Talk is cheap. We only have to look on this same page to see you crying like a little girl. They won't call me back waaaa. They won't email me waaaa. They handle their affairs piss poor waaaa waaaa waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Like I said talk is cheap. Show me where I was crying like a little girl. You seem to remember everything they say. If you cry like you did just over a business that is not even open yet not calling you back I could only imagine the balling we would here if there was "a sentence" left out of the rules made your car illegal at most of the tracks if Florida when it is legal EVERYELSE in the country. So again show me.
It took them making my car illegal for me to voice my opinion. It only took not getting a call back to make you cry like a little girl. Need a tissue.

I simply stated what you said in another post than you wanted to take a jab at me. You said it not me. You want to jab. Let's jab.
Like I said before. Talk is cheap. You "simply" came on here and bashed a new track owner and said they don't do this and they don't do that. They don't know business 101 and they have handled their affairs up to this point very piss poor. That was right after you said that people that complain about a track shouldn't be allowed at the track. Get rid of the bad apples.
And now you want to bring Steve Dore into this. Thanks. Let's go. When Steve Dore puts his helmet on it is like he stuck his head up his own asshole. If Steve Dore could get his car to drive thru the center of the corner Steve Dore wouldn't be getting run over by a crate motor. Steve Dore got passed and didn't like so he totaled the 77 car trying to wreck us. Steve Dore couldn't even get that right. Than under yellow Steve Dore wrecked our car. UNDER. YELLOW. Steve Dore showed he true class. He's a real man. When Steve Dore gets out of the car and pulls his head back out of his asshole he can be ok but I should of known you were one of his butt buddies. You probably need that tissue to wipe that off of your chin and the brown off of your nose.
With that being said. I simply stated what you said on another post. You said it. Not me. Than you wanted to start some shit with me. I don't have a problem with that. But if you want to bring my son into it I say "if you can't get along you get it on". You got any more friends you want to have drag into this. Steve Dore is a sore loser and it sounds like if you don't get what you want you are too. Birds of a feather fly together. Good luck with that.
Pass the popcorn, this is getting good !
Yah, I should just let you handle the track bashers. He should not have tried to bring my son into this.

Here we go again. New contestants. ROUND 2.
You guys hit EVERY car out there, thats the only way your were able to pass. I think a comment was made by you "It takes REAL skill to knock a car out of the way without wrecking them" I am sorry but a monkey can be trained to do that! Would you like a banana? If you want to trash talk the man at least spell his name correctly, this isn't the time to show case that 5th grade mentality that you are sporting. I think it was funny as hell when Steve pulled a monster truck move on your car under yellow. From what I saw that night, YOU guys were the ones with your heads up your asses and what happened to your car was a direct consequence of your actions. Pretty cut and dry.

Mini. You really need to get your facts straight. We NEVER touched the pace car. And what you quoted that I said I never said. Get your facts straight before you quote me or I might do a monster truck move on your face. I might think that is funny too. We never touched your butt buddy when we passed him. We pressured him so hard he drove in way over his head. He is a sore looser like you. You still got something on you chin. Need a tissue.
Rubbing is racing Mini. If you can't get along, get it on.

Look Mini. You came on here complaining and BASHING a track owner. I just stated what you said on another post. Then you had to start calling me shit. Then you took a jab at my son and start dragging you friends into it. Now your starting to call my son shit and talk about our mentality. You have the mentality that totaling 3 car under yellow over a $100 position is "funny". What kind of mentality is that? You guys are assholes.
If your nice to me I will be even nicer to you. You can ask anybody in the pits. BUT if you are shitty to me you I will be the worst enemy you will ever know. And believe me, I will do ANYTHING it takes when it comes to my son. Do YOU want to keep this shit up? You can be nice or you can take another jab. You know who I am and I know who you are. How do you want to do it? You the one that made it personal. So how do you want to do it?

mini racer what is your name if your not hiding. i do use my name and wish every one else did. Mr south how bout you ?
My name is Don Nerone and yours. This will change the way you treat each other. Try it and see how it works.
|Sponsored Links
Hay Don. If you are following along and you can see Mini taking jabs at my son you will know that I must be Mr.Dunn. But then again, everybody on here knows who I am even you.
But anyway. REAL MEN like me fill out their profile and include their real name and phone number. Maybe you and Mini can take a little time and do that. Other racing sites that I visit people won't even respond to you if your profile isn't filled out. You won't have any creditability like most people on this board. He won't tell you his name in public. It will take a REAL man to do that.
Mini. I have always known who you are but I never knew that you had a problem with me. Now you chose to degrade me, attack my son and make this personal over a simple respones to your post. You got problems man. I guess it is because we have won two out of the last three races we have raced with your boy. That must really eat you up since we got 200hp less than your boy
and he has never won a race against me. So we will "chat" about this in person the next time I see your sorry ass at the track. I asked you if you wanted to do it nice or do it shitty. I guess you chose shitty.
P.S. At least they got medication for what I got. What you got I guess you got from your family tree. It only goes straight up. On branches. Good luck with that. Nuff said. I done with your sorry ass for now.

Now a good promoter would get a hold of these two cats, pay a few hundred bucks to the winner and let them have at it during intermission on the front stretch with boxing gloves on.........or maybe Bubba will soak down an area on the front stretch and let them fight in the mud after the races are over.........that would bring fans or atleast keep the ones there in their seat longer......
This reply is to everyone that has been following this thread. I treat this message board like a bunch of racers and friends standing around like at a drivers meeting BSing with each other. You will get a guy every now and that will say, " that guy said this and that guy said that". But if you can't back it up it is just BS. On a message board everything is in type right here on the Internet. In this thread I have been quoted saying many thing that I never said. If I said it he would have copied it from the post that I typed. He can't.
I was not going to reply to this thread again but this guy wants to keep taking shots at my son and he did it again in his last post. He said " your son get on here and.....". Again this guy is full of shit. Another lie out of his mouth. I WANT TO GET THIS SHIT STRAIGHT!!!!!
My son has NEVER been on this site let alone have a screen name. This guy is just talking out of his ass again. Its a lie. My son thinks this site is just a bunch of old dudes that don't have anything better to do. He is probably right. My son has 8 driving classes to instruct this weekend alone down here in s. Fl. And is a full time student. He lives in Tallahassee. He don't have time for this crap. He has no idea what I say on here. THIS IS ME NOT MY SON and has never been. EVERYBODY GET THAT STRAIGHT. If I say something on here I will bet you I can prove.
This guy can't prove one thing that he said I said. He is a liar. Period. Even in my last post. Where did I say he had a late model???? I don't know what he is reading but I really think it is a comprehension issue. Maybe he prints it and cuts it up and makes it say what he wants it to say. I don't no??????? He seem to know a lot about medication.
He said he didn't know that he didn't fill out profile. I say Bullshit. He spent plenty of time on their filling out his arrogant signature. He just forgot the rest. Ya right. I don't know if he has kids but if he did he would know that it one thing you don't mess with. He wants to keep pushing it just show his true mentality. He seem to be so worried about mine. It must be a manhood thing.
This is where he jump back in and start firing off his childish degrading cheap shoots at my family and myself. Quoting things i never said. Maybe know he will take a cheap shoot at my dog. What was that he quoted about bad apples?
|Sponsored Links
Oh yah, HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!!!!!
From one PROUD farther.
I did want to say one more thing before I stop replying to this thread. This is what I copied and pasted that I said. It was just something that HE said on another post. There was no reason him attack myself and my family and drag his friends into this. He said it not me.
"Mini. You just posted on another topic about bashing and complaining about tracks. You said, I think you are right, the bad apples should be thrown out before they spoil the fun for the rest of us. Or something like that.
Things that make you go. Hummmmm
Maybe the Young's need to start their list before they even open. It is already getting sour around here. I'm just say'n."
I never attacked him, degraded him, or any of his family members or friends. I just reminded him what he had just quoted on another thread. But i will now. I hope his manhood is longer than his fuse or he is going to have a real hard time with lets say oooooohh..... LIFE. There was no need to explode. He needs to grow up and put his age on his profile so I know if I am arguing with a punk kid or not. Because he sure act like one. He needs to grow up and don't mess with someones kid or he is going to learn the hard way. Just like when I asked him if He wanted to do it the nice way or the shitty way. He chose shitty. Freaking kids now a day. Unbelievable.
P.S. Thanks to all that PMed my about this kid. I should have known this by his first response. I never get to get to Citrus much anymore. But thanks. I won't be reading this thread anymore anyway. If he want to talk to me he knows where to find me. Thanks to all. Heading to the track. My SON is taking me in a 997 two seated. Hope to be talking to you tomorrow. happy fathers day.

Asus Zenpad 3S 10 LTE Price in Malaysia & Specs

Last Updated: Oct 12, 2020
Previously, we wrote about how Mystic Bronze came to be the theme for the Samsung Galaxy Note20 series and it was quite an interesting insight into the makings of the device. So in this article, the next behind-the-scenes that we want to talk about is the Galaxy Z Fold2, which appeared alongside the Note series recently. If you've always wondered how much improvement Samsung made on this foldable phone, read on below on the making of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2!

After years of saving, I finally have enough to move out of my parents' house and into a studio apartment I just bought. Not only will I be the man of the house, but I could go out or invite friends over without anyone nagging me.
That might sound nice and all, but it still doesn't change the fact that I'm responsible for paying my own utility bills such as water and electricity. Thankfully, Digi recently unveiled their brand new Digi Fibre Broadband which bundles together postpaid and Digi Fibre home plan into one simple package. (Yay! Fewer bills to pay!)
But that's not all, I heard that the package actually costs less than getting the plans individually, and they also come with free goodies such as up to 24 months of Viu membership when you sign up. Plans are priced as low as RM90 a month for Home Fibre and RM38 for the postpaid plan. But let's have a closer look at the Digi Fibre Broadband, shall we?

General Motors Won't Air A Single LIII Super Bowl Ad
Sponsored Links
Super Bowl 53 is underway as we write this, with the Los Angeles Rams and the New England Patriots battling for the national championship and bragging rights at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The big game draws millions of viewers as friends and family hunker down around the TV, eating various processed cheeses, meats, and (little) crackers. While hard-hitting sportsmanship brings most of the viewership, some also tune in for the often wacky, humorous, and sometimes heartfelt Super Bowl commercials. Automakers often have a huge presence during the ad breaks, using the opportunity to showcase their newest vehicles and technologies to the masses. However, one automaker will be absent from this year's roster – General Motors will not air a single Super Bowl ad this evening.
None of GM's four brands – Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, nor Cadillac – will advertise during one of the most significant sporting events of the year, according to The Detroit News. Why? One reason is likely the exorbitant cost. Since 2008, the cost of a 30-second sport nearly doubled in price, jumping from an already eye-watering $2.69 million to $5.25 million today. That's a lot of money for a single, 30-second-long commercial. Longer commercials will come with a higher price tag, and that's not even including the cost to produce the spot.
That said, the reach of a Super Bowl ad typically reaches beyond those watching during the broadcast, since the ad is typically watched online millions of times after it airs.
It's likely that General Motors and other automakers such as Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, which are also not airing Super Bowl ads this year, took a long, hard look at the cost and decided to spend their advertising dollars elsewhere. For example, Cadillac will sponsor the Oscars later this month while Buick will continue its sponsorship with the NCAA and March Madness.
So when you're sitting around the TV tonight, stuffing your face with all kinds of stuff, waiting for some splashy ad from Chevrolet for the mid-engined Corvette, remember there won't be a single GM ad… though there will be ads from Toyota, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi.
That said, if you're really in the mood for some GM commercials, then feel free to peruse GM ads in our archives.

SWM ETF portfolio fact sheets November 2019: ongoing outperformance
Secure Wealth's ETF portfolios performed slightly below benchmarks in November 2019, mainly due to weakness in precious metals and the small position in cryptocurrency. However, we continue to show strong outperformance for a single year: between 3.5% and 5.5% year-to-date. The exception is the SWM fixed-income portfolio, which is outperforming by 0.3%. Every single one of our 5 ETF strategies is significantly outperforming on a 12-month, 3-year and 5-year horizon (see page 2 of the fact sheets, link below).
Our sustainability / ESG-focused ETFs performed strongly in November, this has been a consistent driver of our portfolios' outperformance in recent years. Our technical and network analytics signals confirm that the intermediate uptrend is intact. We pared back equity weightings to neutral in August (after several years at full overweight) and expect the positive trend to continue into 2020.
Please follow this link to read Secure Wealth Management's monthly ETF portfolio review for November 2019.
