1 AFRICAN KINGDOMS In Africa, towns soon became part of an important trade network. Gold and salt were the most important products traded. People needed salt in their diets to prevent dehydration. There was plenty of salt in the Sahara but there was little in the savanna. The people of the Sahara traded the plentiful gold of their region to obtain salt from the Sahara. Strong African leaders created powerful kingdoms by gaining control over most of the profitable trade routes. Three trading kingdoms of West Africa were Ghana, Mali, and Songhai. The trading kingdom Axum thrived in East Africa. Over time, Islam became an important social and religious force, particularly in North Africa and West Africa. Ghana Around AD 800 the rulers of many farming villages united to create the kingdom of Ghana.
2 Ghana had a powerful king who ruled over a splendid court in his capital of Kumbi Saleh. Income from the gold trade allowed him to maintain a large army of foot soldiers and cavalry. The army helped the king to control and expand his kingdom. Muslim merchants brought their religion when they settled in the kingdom of Ghana. The king had Muslim officials and was influenced by Muslim military technology and ideas about government. Ghana also absorbed Arabic writing and Muslim styles of architecture. Women in Ghana had high status and played an active role in the economic life of the empire. Mali Mali was ruled by powerful kings called mansas. Under Mansa Musa, the most powerful ruler, Mali extended its borders and dominated West Africa. Mansa Musa s large army kept order in the empire and protected it from attack. Although warriors were in an elite class in Mali, most of its people were farmers and herders. Mansa Musa ran an efficient government, appointing governors to rule particular areas. He based his system of justice on the Qur an, the Muslim Holy Book. He also made the city of Timbuktu a center of Muslim learning. The empire declined in the 1400s when the people could not agree n a ruler. Timbuktu
3 Songhai Like Ghana and Mali, Songhai depended on a strong army to control trade routes. The emperor Sonni Ali built Songhai into the largest state that had ever existed in West Africa. He established an efficient bureaucracy to govern the kingdom. Trade spread to Europe and Asia. Songhai prospered until the late 1500s when civil war broke out and caused the downfall of the kingdom. Ghana ( ) Mali ( ) Songhai ( ) Controlled trade in gold and salt across West Africa. Women worked in business and government Conquered kingdom of Ghana Mansa Musa became a great emperor Grew into largest West African state. Controlled important trade routes King had Muslim advisors Mali controlled gold trade routes Emperor set up Muslim dynasty Timbuktu became a great trading city and center of learning OTHER AFRICAN KINGDOMS The Mediterranean and Red Seas linked Africa to the Middle East and Europe. The Indian Ocean also linked east Africa to India and other Asian lands. Products from the African interior were transported overland to the coast and then out of Africa. Axum Axum was located on the Red Sea. It was a trading kingdom that merged Jewish and Christian traditions. It eventually became present day Ethiopia. Hausa In the 1300s the Hausa people built city-states in what became present-day Nigeria. They were cotton weavers and leatherworkers who traveled on caravans across the Sahara and as far as Europe. Benin Located in the rain forests of the Guinea coast, Benin traded ivory, pepper, and also slaves. The people of Benin also learned how to cast bronze and brass.
4 Around AD 600 trading cities rose along the coast of East Africa. They included Mogadishu, Kilwa, and Sofala. They conducted business with Indian and also sold slaves to Persia. Cultural diffusion led to the rise of a new language called Swahili in which Arab words were mixed with Bantu, an African language.
5 ACHIEVEMENTS Art African art often used ivory, wood, and bronze for jewelry and religious objects. Art linked people who created it with those who used it. Bronze art from Benin Literary Traditions Oral and written literature preserved African culture. Arabic was a common form of written history which praised rulers. Oral history contained folk tales which used fantasy and humor to teach moral lessons. Education Elders taught the young what roles they would serve in the community. In the 1400s Timbuktu in Mali became a center of learning. Manuscripts from all over the world were contained in the university built by Mansa Musa. Students from all over the world attend school here. Commerce Commerce introduced Africans to crops and animals from other lands. A rich mix of cultures developed. Unfortunately, as a result of commerce, slave trade also developed.

Factoring agreements are very popular with subcontractors and suppliers in the construction industry, assisting cash-flow by providing a line of credit against accounts receivable. However, like any financial product, factoring agreements can also present unique complexities, pitfalls and at times surprises when pursuing debt recovery and enforcement action.
Illustrating some of the problems that can arise is the not uncommon scenario of a dispute in relation to an alleged oral contract for labour hire by a subcontractor that is factoring its debts. In this scenario:
- All of the subcontractor's invoices in respect of the work performed pursuant to the alleged contract will likely note that the debt the subject of the invoice has been assigned to the factoring company (this is a standard requirement imposed under the factoring agreement).
- However, the line of credit under the factoring agreement will usually not extend to invoices where the debt is disputed or where there is no written contract, the factoring agreement instead providing for a "pay when paid" arrangement in such circumstances.
- Having not paid out on the invoices, the factoring company is therefore content to allow the subcontractor (at its own risk and cost) to pursue enforcement of the invoices itself, i.e. the factoring company's account is simply a 'post box' for any payment that may be received.
- The subcontractor therefore proceeds, in its own name, to take steps to recover the debt, utilising security of payment or by court proceedings.
Unfortunately for the subcontractor, the assignment of the debt under the factoring agreement, perfected at law by the notification on its invoices, means that it does not have standing to bring the claim. This presents the debtor with a potential 'knock out' blow to any adjudication application or in court proceedings. Substituting the factoring company for the subcontractor would not be possible in the security of payment environment and although it may be an option in court proceedings, it is far from straightforward, particularly if the error has gone undetected for any length of time.
Consideration may be had to pursuing an alternative claim in quantum meruit, as claims in quantum meruit are not capable of assignment. But this is also not ideal, being more involved than debt recovery, as the entitlement is harder to prove, more complicated to quantify and its reception by the court much less certain. Further, quantum meruit is not addressed by security of payment legislation at all.
Another factoring related 'complication' relates to enforcement of debts through garnishee orders against a judgment debtor which is 'factoring'. Garnishee orders are typically one of the most effective and commonly used enforcement tools available to judgment creditors (because they can be obtained quickly, for little cost and practically by stealth). Factoring can however throw a spanner in the works. If the judgment debtor is 'factoring' all or most of its debts, then the pool of its potential debtors who can be garnished shrinks dramatically. The debts are now owed to the financier, not your debtor. This can have the effect of frustrating or neutralising your garnishee orders.
A similar scenario played out recently in the Supreme Court decision in West Tankers2 where a prior assignment of a principal's debt by a contractor to a financier (Scottish Pacific) under a factoring agreement was held to prevail against a claim in respect of the same debt made by a subcontractor utilising a withholding notice under the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 (NSW) and then the Contractors Debts Act 1997 (NSW).
Finally, there is the potential for disputes in relation to factoring to be bogged down by arguments as to whether the assignment of debt under the factoring agreement has been perfected (by provision of appropriate notice of the assignment) or instead is merely an assignment in equity, meaning that factoring party (i.e. the subcontractor) retains the right to sue for the factored debt. These disputes can be quite complex and by simply being aired can cause additional cost, delay and uncertainty in what would otherwise be straightforward debt recovery.
The key 'take-away' is don't lead with your chin, be informed about and mindful of the implications of both your own factoring and where-ever possible the factoring activities of those to whom you extend credit. Failure to do so can lead to your debt being left down for the count.

According to THR: Heat Vision a Magic The Gathering film is in the works. The card game was and is still ever so popular around the globe, I think I still have some them lying arround, but they are ancient and cannot be used in for the gameplay anymore (so I have been told).
Back to the story, 20th Century Fox has bought the screen right to it and is planning to develop "the property with an eye to launch a massive franchise on the scale of Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings." Simon Kinberg will produce the adaptation and oversee the building of the "Magic" universe.
So now we have two of the biggest fanatsy RPG coming to the big screen, the other being World of Warcraft which is slated for 2016 Ithas been mioved back because of December 2015 release of Star Wars Eps VII).

Having garnered many prestigious awards since its opening, The Blue Ox, an upscale casual American restaurant offers traditional dishes in a nontraditional way. Chef/ Owner, Matt O'Neil, a Swampscott native, sources premium ingredients from the top purveyors in the area and presents a unique wine and cocktail list boasting small production wines and local spirits all at a great value to his guests. He brings a little bit of Boston to the North Shore.
Matt O'Neil, Chef/Owner- The deciding moment in Chef Matt O'Neil's life was when he discovered his love of food during a semester abroad in Florence, Italy while studying for a political science degree at Bates College in Maine. As he ate his way through Italy he began to understand the role of food as a culture thus triggering the start of a career dedicated to food and spirit. After graduation Matt moved to Martha's Vineyard to work for Coca Cola in sales and customer service. Soon he found himself dining out often and getting to know chefs and restaurant owners as he would service their accounts. His passion and eagerness to get into the industry grew and grew until finally, through his friend (artist Traeger DiPietro) Matt met Chef Mark Chaput of the prestigious Vineyard Golf Club and accepted a position preparing salads and desserts. Soon thereafter Matt was accepted to the highly acclaimed Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. After graduation, Matt worked in award winning Boston restaurants such as Prezza and Copia alongside Chef Anthony Caturano, No. 9 Park and The Butcher Shop with award winning Chef Barbara Lynch amongst other established restaurants. An avid traveler, Matt has spent extensive time in Europe and South America. The Blue Ox is Matt's expression of upscale casual American cuisine presented in a comfortable and tasteful setting. Matt was born and raised in Swampscott and currently lives in Nahant with his wife Joanna, who he runs the restaurant with, and their two beautiful children. They look forward to hosting you and welcome your input!
The Artwork - We are proud to be hanging the artwork of celebrated Martha Vineyard based painter, Traeger DiPietro. As another connection to the community, this artist, and Swampscott native, has designed pieces for the restaurant highlighting downtown Lynn. You can see more from Traeger at his website: www.traegerdipietro.com

Slowly, Drake's "The Motto" has replaced Jay-Z and Kanye West's hit single, "Niggas in Paris," as the most-popular song to freestyle over. While "The Motto" has become a popular track to remix, Young Jeezy has become a popular remixer.
Despite his album only being out for a month, Young Jeezy is keeping the music coming. The CTE CEO heads back in the studio with his cohort, Freddie Gibbs, to remix yet another track. This time, they choose "The Motto."

The Steelers will have wide receiver Antonio Brown in the lineup against the Jaguars on Sunday.
Brown missed the last two games of the regular season and missed Friday's practice with an illness before being listed as questionable on the team's final injury report of the week. It remains to be seen how close to 100 percent Brown might be, but he'll be on the field for Pittsburgh.
One of the two players listed as questionable by the Jaguars will miss the game. Wide receiver Jaydon Mickens is out with a hamstring injury, but linebacker Blair Brown, who hurt his ankle during the week, will play.
Running back Chris Ivory is a healthy scratch for Jacksonville. Defensive tackle Eli Ankou, linebacker Deon King and three offensive linemen — Chris Reed, Josh Walker and William Poehls — are also inactive.
Quarterback Josh Dobbs, wide receiver Justin Hunter, cornerback Coty Sensabaugh, safety J.J. Wilcox, tackle Jerald Hawkins, guard Matt Feiler and defensive tackle Daniel McCullers are inactive for Pittsburgh.

While the country salutes the heroes who fought the terrorists, our politicians don't forget to encash whatever they can. When I saw this banner, I really didn't understand what the local politicians showing on the left of the banner have done to get their pics smiling beside the Mumbai martyrs. Isn't it possible to leave some people without finding your personal benefits from them?
And yes, this is not about some party or someone specific. It's a shame to use the name of these martyrs for their own benefit for all the politicians, wherever they are and whichever party they belong to.

Exactly two years ago on December 13th, ourselves and our home were severely violated. I had another dream last night about our house getting broken into and I hope writing this will help me and anyone else who can relate. I also hope it might help prevent some of you becoming victims. It was such a horrible experience I wish it on nobody. So here is the story start to finish, with every detail some of you have never heard.
My Berkey water filtration review.
So I wanted to have a few days of testing the Berkey out before reviewing. I can say I'm completely satisfied. It was fairly easy to put together. It is recommended to run a couple gallons through to clear the filters out before drinking the water.
I did that, then came the fun test. The food coloring test. I put red food coloring into the tank, and low and behold it filtered ALL of the color out. Amazing! I love this thing!
There was no weird taste, my water actually tastes good and I don't have to worry about fluoride with these add on filters. This looks really nice sitting on my counter as well. Click on the above picture or here for a great deal from Amazon. It comes with a travel bottle. I know $258 is a lot, but it lasts 6,000 gallons!!!
I debated on whether this post would be appropriate for some of you. Then I was like "They can handle it." Because who actually likes to talk about periods? Let me tell you a little secret....almost every woman deals with a period at some point in her life! Surprised? I know right? So why do we not discuss something that is natural and common? This is not going to be a post on how women use to, or still worship their monthly cycle. This is about my discovery of something that I feel you should ALL try or at least know about. Menstrual cups! You owe it to yourself to read on even if you don't plan on trying one.
We're getting a Berkey.
For those of you who do not know what I'm talking about, no it's not a type of dog, beagle/yorkie mix. It's a water filtration system and it looks pretty awesome. It's a portable water filtration system that filters out well, basically ALL the bad stuff. You can put rain water, river water or pool water in here. I cannot wait it will be here next week. Not only will we use it daily for our mass consumption of H2O, but it will be great if there's an emergency or Zom-pocalypse.
I know it's a little pricey up front, but it's much cheaper than the reverse osmosis in the long run. We are also getting the flouride filters with it! This thing should be 500% better than the brita we're using now. Plus I'll have that peice of mind if something ever happens to the main water supply. It sure will look pretty on the counter too! I'll update you when I've had a chance to test this bad boy out. You can find it here or with a travel water bottle here. I also plan on getting the travel bottle, just for when I'm working and away from home.
I'm a tea drinking, bird watching, garden loving fool. I'm crazy about getting back to nature.
January 2015

In the mid-size sedan segment, to stand out, a car needs to come with eye-catching style, efficiency, and power. The
2017 Nissan Altima
has all of that and so much more. We'll compare the Altima to the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry to help you see the differences.
You might be surprised to learn that the
is the most efficient of these three models. It delivers an EPA-estimated 39 mpg highway, while the Accord gets 36 mpg and the Camry only achieves 33 mpg.
If you're looking for a powerful sedan, make sure you choose the
. Its available V6 engine delivers 270 horsepower, while the Camry only gets up to 268 horsepower. With the Altima you can outpace and outperform the competition.
Tall drivers will also want to find themselves in the Altima. It offers more front head and legroom than both the Accord and Camry. In the Altima, drivers will enjoy 40 inches of headroom and 45 inches of legroom. The Accord comes with 39.1 inches of headroom and 42.5 inches of legroom. And, the Camry only offers 38.8 inches of headroom and 41.6 inches of legroom.
While both the Accord and Camry have available advanced safety features, they do not have what the Altima does—class-exclusive Predictive Forward Collision Warning. This system monitors not just the car in front of you, but the car in front of that one, too, meaning it can see what you sometimes can't.
The Altima also makes filling up your tires easy with the class-exclusive Easy-Fill Tire Alert. Just like other cars, the Altima will alert you when your tire pressure is low. However, unlike other cars, it will tell you which tire is the culprit, and when you've added enough air, the Altima will honk the horn.
To see for yourself how the 2017 Nissan Altima rises above the competition, take it out for a
test drive
today at
Santa Cruz Nissan.

On the ever of Olympic games , the Tibetan uprising for independence and subsequent mayhem by Chinese red army raised a lot of hue and cry all over the world. The Tibetan settlers all over the world are staging agitation. The Olympic torch is where ever being ritualistic run irrespective of country are facing agitated Tibetan protesters. At this juncture, a fresh report of satellite image revealing existence of secret harbor in China, where nuclear powered submarines are manufactured is disturbing. This will all the way dislodge the balance of power in the region. The region is controlled by the big brother US marine power. Upsurge and building of n-powered submarines by China may pose a threat. The US reaction to the report is yet to come. Since US economy is passing through a stage of recession, their foreign policies are also likely to affected by that. The Bush administration has to think twice before making any comment. Or may be so, that it already has an under table understanding with China !

"Lust, Avarice and Envy" from "The Ladder of Souls with the Seven Deadly Sins,"
Church of Sts. Peter and Paul, Chaldon, England
The following is taken from a sermon for Passion Sunday by our Lenten guide, St. Alphonsus Liguori, Doctor of the Church:
"St. Francis of Assisi says, that, in endeavouring to draw to sin a soul that is afraid of being in enmity with God, the Devil does not seek in the beginning to bind her with the chain of a slave, by tempting her to commit mortal sin, because she would have a horror of yielding to mortal sin, and would guard herself against it. He first endeavours to bind her by a single hair; then by a slender thread; next by a cord; afterwards by a rope; and in the end by a chain of Hell, - that is by mortal sin; and thus he makes her his slave."
St. Alphonsus Liguori, pray for us.

Once you've submitted your CV, you need to think about certain things you can and should still do instead of sitting around and waiting.
Sending out your CV is a scary thing. You work on it for hours on end just to make it perfect, but once you hit "send", there's nothing else you can do about the possible mistakes you made. You no longer have any control over what happens, so you might as well sit back and relax, right?
Yes, there are a lot of things you cannot change anymore, like the spelling of the hiring manager's name, or the extra info you added and can't delete anymore. But you do need to think about certain things you can and should still do instead of sitting around and waiting.
You are completely in the wrong when:
You're ignoring the follow-up instructions
Most job vacancies have instructions about the follow-up in the post itself. When you're applying for a job, this should be one of the first things you're looking for. You need to be aware of what the company does and doesn't want you to do. As we all learned in primary school: read the directions before starting the assignment.
Thus, start by reviewing the specific instructions before filling out the job application. You don't want your CV to get thrown into the trash before they've even looked at your qualifications and experience.
Next, don't ignore the follow-up instructions. If the company clearly asks not to call, don't call! You might end up hurting your chances of hearing back. And if you really can't wait to know what's happening, rather send a follow-up email.
You're forgetting to check if you have a connection at the company
Ideally you would have already checked this out before you sent out your application, but let's be honest, most of us usually skip that step.
However, don't ever feel like it's too late to reach out, even though you feel like a new reference might be off the table, it often isn't. Go to the company's site, your social media friend lists and connections, and ask around with friends and family if they might know someone who works there. As it turns out, a lot of companies prefer it if you can provide them with a reference of someone already working there, and you will up your chances of getting through to the next round.
So don't be afraid to start digging around and reaching out after the fact, as it might help your case.

Here's What The Simpsons' Living Room Would Look Like In Different Decor Styles
After 29 years, any home is due for some updating—well, any home except, perhaps, the home of TV's most famous family, The Simpsons. For 29 seasons (soon to be 30!), Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie have been running into the same exact living room, brown couch and all.
Part of The Simpsons' charm is that everything remains very much the same, but just for fun Home Advisor took six specific design aesthetics and applied them to the iconic space. You'll immediately recognize the classic Simpsons configuration (and spot Santa's Little Helper, a can of Duff Beer, and Marge's pearls hanging around), but everything else has been given a makeover. The Simpsons living room has served the family well all these years, so it's doubtful they'll ever implement the changes below, but maybe you'll find some inspiration in the new designs of a classic room.
In a nod to Homer's job at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, Home Advisor gave the living room an Industrial look, complete with exposed brick and a playful mixture of metal, wood, and leather. They ditched the green carpet for gray flooring and added some chic lighting fixtures. It's a very modern update to the living space. Everything's coming up Industrial!
This take on the Simpsons's living room is sure to remind the family of fond memories from time spent at the Flanders's beach cabin in Little Pwagmattasquarmsettport, like Lisa attempting to be cool for once, or discovering Milhouse looks just like The Dud from Mystery Date. Ah, the beach. This living room gets its beachy vibe from the nautical decor and by infusing the room with a calming palette of blues and whites.
Home Advisor went boho in honor of the family's free thinker, Lisa. It's full of vibrant colors, rich textiles, and exotic furniture. But if the Simpsons adopted a more bohemian outlook on both decor and life, we'd never learn important things like "you don't win friends with salad," and that's a lesson that never goes out of style.
Shabby Chic
The original living room does have a bit of a masculine feel to it, so it might be nice to femme it up a bit, and that's exactly what this Shabby Chic look does. To achieve this look, Home Advisor set out to mix and match "finishes, colors, and styles." Pops of pink and a lush area rug help turn this room into a comfortable space for pearl-clad Queen Marge.
Hollywood Regency
This style is way out of the Simpsons's comfort zone—I mean, Homer has been known to eat fancy soaps, after all—and of all the redesigns, this one feels like the polar opposite to the original decor. To give Springfield's first family a little bit of sophistication, Home Advisor opted for contrasting colors, gold accents, and bold pieces of furniture. If you're not into the Hollywood regency look, don't worry—to paraphrase Homer, design styles are just a suggestion, just like pants.
Mid-Century Modern
Home Advisor mixed minimalism with a colorful palette of mustard yellow, greens, and carnation pink to give the Simpsons a mid-century modern living room. The look may be all about functionality, but it also has one very playful element: Lisa's sax-a-ma-phone, er, saxophone.
Would you choo choo choose any of these makeovers for the beloved Simpsons living room, or is it hard to imagine them plopping down on any couch besides the one they've been plopping down on for 29 seasons?

2 Facts You Do Not Recognize Referring To LASIK Eye Surgical TreatmentThe eye can be examined with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A practical evaluation consists of the ability to relocate the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye may be evaluated in a number of ways. The patient might be asked to identify illuminated letter or objects of differing sizes on what is called the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the assessment of the structural part of the eye might be made in a number of methods. Stress within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In certain illness, particularly in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased significantly.
It needs to be well remembered that a patient with an eye problem may have other issues. Typically other physical conditions are primary and impact the eye as a consequence. The look of the eye can signal the patient and the doctor to troubles in some disturbances of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms provide themselves.
Consequently, one's dependence on sight is highlighted when one deals with a possible or short-term long-term loss of this essential sense. When corrective steps are looked for, specific types of vision correction such as contact lenses or glasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some people are bothered with that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgeries were established to encourage decreased usage of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Essentially, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible counterpart, LASIK eye surgery is another kind of vision correction. The only difference is that with this type of surgical treatment, one's vision is remedied permanently.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive errors in the cornea are completely changed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The primary purpose of this surgical treatment is to produce a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea utilizing a blade understood as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, allowing much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that individuals need to know. Most likely, the main reason that this kind over here of eye surgery has ended up being well accepted is due to the fact that the majority of its cases had achieved success.
In spite of its success, there are still some downsides. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation used to the most delicate part of the eye
Due to the fact that LASIK eye surgical treatment involves the operation of the retina, which is one of the most sensitive portions of the eye, many people state that the operation can be very dangerous.
To puts it simply, a simple mistake might almost cause an individual's life time loss of sight. It is crucial to consider many aspects prior to choosing whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the ideal restorative step one has to undergo.
2. It is not a best treatment
LASIK eye surgery may correct your vision but it does not necessarily suggest that it can give you a twenty-twenty. Even if analytical reports show that 70% of the patients may have 20/20 vision, this does not always imply they have ideal vision too.
Provided all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the appeal of the operation, LASIK might not always be the ideal eye surgery the way have a peek here many people see it
Conversely, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye may from this source be made in several ways. It needs to be well remembered that a patient with an eye problem may have other issues. Typically other physical conditions are primary and impact the eye as a effect. The appearance of the eye can inform the patient and the physician to problems in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other signs provide themselves.
Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another kind of vision correction.

Having Our Say
POLS Final
Multiple Choice
Short Answer
A Direct Democracy is a form of government in which people vote on policy initiatives directly, as opposed to a representative democracy in which people vote for representatives who then vote on policy initiatives. In this form of government the citizens have the power to move officials from office and to make repeal laws. The whole idea of Direct Democracy started in the early 1900's where citizens would fight against political machines as a way of making sure their voice was herd. Soon formed a group called the PUC (public utilities commission) whose goal was to weaken political parties in hopes that voters would eventually be able to select their party's nominees instead of the leaders in the given party. This was the stepping-stone for the current direct democracy in California. However with this new idea of direct democracy came several different forms and ways it can be applied and used.
One form of direct democracy is referendum. A referendum is a direct vote in which an entire electorate is asked to either accept or reject a particular proposal. This for enables the electors to nullify acts of legislature. The people pushing for this must collect 5 percent of voter's signatures from the previous election, and have 90 days to do so. This form is relatively uncommon, however in 2004 business groups used a referendum of a health care legislation on Governor Davis's last days in office. The eventually rejected the health care legislation even though 20 percent of the population still lacked health care. Another form of direct democracy is a recall election. A recall election is a procedure by which voters can remove an elected official from office through a direct vote before his or her term has ended. Basically if someone wants an official removed, they get a petition and depending on the level of the official will determine what percentage of signatures is required from those who voted. If they want to remove a state executive they need about 12 percent, a judge requires 20 percent, and at the local level they need 10-30 percent. All of these require the signatures to be collected in 160 days. If all the signatures are collected in time, an election is held simply saying if the person should stay in office or not. It is much easier to recall in California compared to other states. In 2003 Governor Davis was recalled by his opponents. He was eventually reelected, however 1.3 million signatures were collected and the 75-day campaign took place where Arnold Schwarzenegger eventually took office. In this case recall played a big role in state office.
The last form of direct democracy is the initiative. An initiative is a means by which a petition signed by a certain minimum number of registered voters can force a public vote. This form is different than referendum and recall because those forms were implemented based off something an elected official would do, where initiative allows the citizens to make a new law or policy. How initiative is similar to the other two forms is that it still starts with a petition where they need 5 percent of the voter's signatures from the previous election. If they wish to change a constitutional amendment they need 8 percent to get it on the ballot. This whole process takes 150 days, then the time in between the next election. In 2008 there were multiple cases of this happening with subject matters such as same sex marriage, criminal sentencing and abortion.

text: Alright, so we know that after updated to 10.5.2 people were still having trouble with Airport. I was one of them, and I figured it out. Here is what I did: 1. Navigate to Library\Preferences\SystemConfiguration 2. Locate com.apple.airport.preferences.plist 3. Drag it to trash 4. Hit the spotlight, type in "Keychain Access" a) Remove all passwords to every network *now I don't know if that's necessary, but I did it, and it worked* 5. Restart Leopard 6. Connect to a network and you should be problem free By deleting com.apple.airport.preferences.plist and restarting your system, you are allowing Leopard to create the new 10.5.2 file. My theory is, is that the two conflicted with each other so it wasn't copied properly, and thats why some people had the problem and some didn't.

Abstract : Background: The analysis of next-generation sequencing data from large genomes is a timely research topic. Sequencers are producing billions of short sequence fragments from newly sequenced organisms. Computational methods for reconstructing sequences whole-genome assemblers are typically employed to process such data. However, one of the main drawback of these methods is the high memory requirement. Results: We present Mapsembler, an iterative targeted assembler which processes large datasets of reads on commodity hardware. Mapsembler checks for the presence of given regions of interest in the reads and reconstructs their neighborhood, either as a plain sequence consensus or as a graph full sequence structure. We introduce new algorithms to retrieve homologues of a sequence from reads and construct an extension graph. Conclusions: Mapsembler is the rst software that enables de novo discovery around a region of interest of gene homologues, SNPs, exon skipping as well as other structural events, directly from raw sequencing reads. Compared to traditional assembly software, memory requirement and execution time of Mapsembler are considerably lower, as data indexing is localized. Mapsembler can be used at http:-mapsembler.genouest.org

Bosnian director rues division of Yugoslavia
Danis Tanovic fiercely believes that war never solves problems. "I think that a lot of nationalists who were fighting to split Yugoslavia now profoundly regret what they have done."hollywood Updated: Oct 19, 2010 15:22 IST
Almost a decade ago, during the Cannes Film Festival, a journalist had asked Bosnian director Danis Tanovic why he was directing movies instead of acting in them. "Maybe I am not good in front of the camera", he replied. Maybe. But Tanovic is so handsome that he could have easily been on screen.
Now, at the Abu Dhabi Film Festival, where his latest work, Cirkus Columbia, is screening, Tanovic sings a different line. Or, at least he does that jocularly. He tells me during a recent chat that "Mira Nair promised to call me for a role. But she obviously wants Johnny Depp", he laughs.
But, after the glory that his debut picture, No Man's Land, brought him in 2002, he must have pushed all thoughts of becoming a star to the darkest corners of his mind. The movie won the Best Oscar Award in the foreign language category.
|Gautaman Bhaskaran
In his Cirkus Columbia, Tanovic goes back to the milieu of his first movie. It is an absurdist tale of a man returning to his native village in Herzegovina. It is 1992, and Bosnia is all ready to witness a bloody civil war. Diviko (Miki Manojlovic) comes back home after 20 years with a vengeful attitude. He is terribly angry that his wife did not follow him to Germany. He evicts the wife and their 20-old son from his house, and struts about town with his gorgeously young girlfriend. However, Diviko eventually proves that he is not all that a bad guy.
The script, penned by Tanovic and Ivica Dikic, and based on the latter's novella, goes all out to remind us, though gently, of an age gone by and an innocence lost. In one scene that is so telling of this, Diviko, watching television footage showing Serbs shelling Dubrovnik, wonders whether they would blow up the old bridge at Mostar after that.
Tanovic says that while all of us think so much about war and after it, very few people actually ponder over what it was before the hostilities began. "These are great moments before war", he reminisces and adds, "moments when we naively believe that war cannot happen on our land, to our people".
It is very clear that Tanovic fiercely believes that war never solves problems. "I think that a lot of nationalists who were fighting to split Yugoslavia now profoundly regret what they have done", the Bosnian helmer rues. "I think that 90 per cent of those who fought to divide our country will today happily go back in time to put Yugoslavia together…I am sure they are all remorseful of what they did. I do not think that anything good came out of this war"

Product Description
NucView™ 405 Caspase-3 Substrate, 1 mM in DMSO, provides a convenient tool for detecting apoptosis in intact cells based on caspase-3/7 activity using either confocal microscopy or flow cytometry.
In contrast to other fluorogenic caspase substrates or fluorescent caspase inhibitor based (FLICA) assays, NucView™ caspase-3 substrates can be used to detect caspase-3/7 activity within individual intact cells without inhibiting apoptosis progression. NucView™ substrates consist of a fluorogenic DNA dye coupled to the caspase-3/7 DEVD recognition sequence. The substrate, which is initially non-fluorescent, penetrates the plasma membrane and enters the cytoplasm. In apoptotic cells, caspase-3/7 cleaves the substrate, releasing the high-affinity DNA dye, which migrates to the cell nucleus and stains DNA with fluorescence. Thus, NucView caspase-3 substrates are bifunctional, allowing detection of caspase-3/7 activity and visualization of morphological changes in the nucleus during apoptosis. The staining is also formaldehyde-fixable.
NucView™ 405 dye is excited by the 405 nm laser line for detection by confocal microscopy in the DAPI channel, or by flow cytometry in the Pacific Blue® channel. NucView™ 405 is ideal for caspase-3 detection in multi-color applications for researchers who wish to reserve the green fluorescence channel for other detection reagents.
Note: NucView™ 405 signal may be difficult to observe using epifluorescence microscopy. Confocal microscopy using 405 nm laser excitation is recommended for imaging. Biotium also offers green fluorogenic NucView™ 488 caspase-3 substrate and kits.Compatible with the NucleoCounter® NC-3000™.

This week has seen major falls in share prices across the world with $6 trillion being wiped off world share values. America's Dow Jones index dropped 5.2%, Japan's Nikkei index fell 8.1% and the UK's FTSE index fell 4.7%, the lowest it has been for 15 months, while in Japan and America the falls broke records for the size of their drop since October 2008.
The initial reason for the fall was, paradoxically, good US economic data as their service sector boomed and wage levels grew at the fastest rate since the start of the decade. This good news meant that it is now more likely that US interest rates will rise sooner and by more than had previously been anticipated. Mark Carney reinforced this view when he expressed similar sentiments about the future of UK interest rates.
Although a rise in interest rates has been expected for some time as the world economy's growth accelerated, the reminder that it might occur soon has come as an unpleasant shock. The scaling back of QE by central banks is expected to reduce the ability to borrow cheaply, some of which has financed recent purchases in shares. Financial investors expect that the forthcoming rise in interest rates will reduce company profits, therefore reducing the demand for shares. Simultaneously existing shareholders might be encouraged to sell quickly before prices fall further, thereby increasing the excess demand. In addition, the economic uncertainty was increased by the fall in the value of bitcoin by approximately 50% since the state of the year.
Economists are trying to decide whether we are currently experiencing a "correction" or are entering a bear market, where prices fall by more than 20%. The "correction" proponents believe that shares are over-priced in terms of their price compared to their earnings – the price:earnings ratio – and therefore the fall was due. However there is concern that the behaviour of investors, whether in shares, currencies or commodities, sometimes leads to markets over-shooting since falls (increases) in price encourage selling (buying) which further reduces (increases) the price.
According to economic theory, the fall in share prices might lead to a negative wealth effect (the idea that consumption is determined by one's wealth as well as one's income). However, given that many shareholders are in the upper income brackets, their marginal propensity to consume will be low and therefore the effect will small. More significant might be the general impact on consumer and business confidence from the media reports about the falling share prices. As Keynes wrote in his General Theory, "animal spirits" outweigh the "weighted average of quantitative benefits multiplied by quantitative probabilities.".

Raghunathganj (West Bengal): Taking digs at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Monday said both only made promises but did not bother to act on them.
"Modi talks of `Make in India` programme. He said two crore youths will get jobs. People believed him and brought him to power, but not a single youth got a job," Gandhi said while campaigning here in Murshidabad district.
"The same goes for Mamata as well. She promised jobs to 70 lakh youth. But is there a single youth who got a job? Instead, they have to migrate to other states in search of livelihood," the Congress leader said.
"Mamata promised jobs to Bengal`s youth; promised to set up factories; but there are no jobs, no factories; so, we are fighting to defeat her," Gandhi said.
The Congress has tied up with the Left Front led by the Communist Party of India-Marxist for the ongoing assembly polls.
He also accused Banerjee - who wrested Bengal with Congress support - of changing overnight after becoming the chief minister.
"Five years back, the Congress gave support to the Trinamool Congress, hoping that Mamata ji will bring change in Bengal, work to bring jobs, solve law and order issues and bring in industry. We gave her support on the condition that she will work to change Bengal."
"Once the polls ended and Mamata became the chief minister, the very next day she changed. Her working style changed, her way of talking changed and she forgot all her promises she made to the Congress and the people of Bengal," Gandhi said.
The Congress leader also attacked Banerjee and the Trinamool over the mulit-crore rupee Saradha scam, the Narada sting operation and the Vivekananda flyover collapse in Kolkata in which at least 26 people were killed.
"After the flyover collapsed, Mamata ji is now talking of taking action. But I want to ask as to why didn`t she act in the last five years when her own men were constructing this flyover using spurious material."
"I want to ask why she did not act when the Saradha scam came out and her people were caught taking bribes on camera," Gandhi said while referring to the sting operation in which over a dozen Trinamool leaders were allegedly shown accepting bribes.
"Much like Modi says that he will bring back black money from abroad, but does not act against (liquor baron) Vijay Mallya or (former Indian Premier League chairman) Lalit Modi, Mamata is also doing nothing," the Congress leader said.
Gandhi said that farmers across the country were distressed, but nothing had been done for them.
"Mamata calls herself a leader of the poor, but did not bother to implement the Food Security Act despite the then United Progressive Alliance government providing funds to the state," he said.
Gandhi said that the Congress-Left Front alliance would succeed in ousting Banerjee from power in West Bengal, adding that the alliance will work for the state`s welfare if voted to power.
