Politicians, civil society leaders, statesmen and army generals make speeches in public forums. Most speeches fail to find any place in history.
Some do. In contemporary history one such speech was made by the US President Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil War, on the afternoon of Thursday, November 19, 1863, at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvanian, four and a half months after the US Union armies defeated those of the Confederacy at the Battle of Gettysburg. It was a carefully crafted address and one of the greatest and most influential statements in US history. In just two minutes, Lincoln reiterated the principles of human equality espoused by the Declaration of Independence and proclaimed the Civil War as a struggle for the preservation of the Union sundered by the secession crisis, with 'a new birth of freedom' that would bring equality to all citizens.
Whether Lincoln's speech was written or impromptu is still debated but at least five versions of the 'manuscript' are available.
Another great speech considered all time great is the one delivered by the American Civil Rights Leader Dr. Martin Luther King on August 28, 1963 in front of 250,000 civil rights supporters from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. King's speech is considered as a defining moment of the US civil rights movement and perhaps no other speech is read or heard regularly over the world till now. King's speech popularly known as 'I have a dream' begins with the mention of the plight of the American Blacks, then commonly known as 'niggers,' and discriminated extensively in the society. King described his dreams of freedom and equality arising from a land of slavery and hatred. King's speech was ranked the top American speech of the 20th century in a 1999 poll of scholars of public address.
At one stage during the Second World War the Allied army could not stop the onslaught of the Hitler's German army. The Germans proved too powerful and the Allied armies were forced back to the port of Dunkirk in France. The British managed to organise one of the massive evacuations in modern history of the Allied troops from Dunkirk to Britain. Once the evacuation was over British Prime Minister Winston Churchill addressed the parliament about the future, and the possibility of an invasion of Europe to regain what the Allied troops lost. In a confident voice Churchill said, 'We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a larger part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and liberation of the old.' Churchill's speech inspired his people and the Allied troops. Soon the invasion took place and Europe re-taken and the dream of Hitler ruling the entire Europe came to an end.
In the Indian Sub-continent politicians and scholars made speeches over last hundred years, which included speeches by Mahatma Gandhi, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Jawaharlal Nehru and others. Temporary they did make a mark in people's memory but with the passage of time were lost as they lacked any eternal message or failed to focus on any national purpose. One person filled that gap on March 7, 1971 and he was none other than the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in whom was embedded the key to freedom and emancipation of this nation. Till March 7, 1975 Mujib was the President of Awami League whose party won the landslide victory in the general election of 1970 to form a Constituent Assembly of Pakistan. After the nineteen minute March 7 speech delivered at Ramna race course (Suhrawardy Uddyan) he became the undisputed leader of the Bengali nation. He was no longer considered as the President of Awami League but the only hope of the nation. Many term him as the pied piper of 1970-71 and after the speech US weekly Time named him as the 'Poet of Politics.'
After the Pakistan's general election held in 1970 it was expected that the Awami League will be asked to form the government as it commands the majority in the parliament. General Yahya Khan announced that the first sitting of the Parliament will take place on March 3, 1971. On March 1 to everyone's astonishment Yahya Khan postponed the sitting of the national parliament through a radio announcement. Instantly the people of East Bengal took to the streets protesting the postponement. They felt betrayed and wanted Mujib to take control and lead them to the path of freedom and emancipation. From March 1 Pakistan's central and provincial government gradually lost control of East Bengal and Sk. Mujib was the person calling the shots. The total civil administration took instructions from him while the world watched in astonishment how the 'Poet of Politics' was gradually moulding a subjugated nation into an independent nation. The country completely came to standstill and only one man, Bangabandhu Sk. Mujib gave orders to the civil administration as how to run their everyday affairs. Mujib was just a parliament member elect, yet to take oath. Suddenly he became a larger than life size leader. Many world leaders were dwarfed by Mujib's charisma, personality and command over his people. He announced he will announce his next course of action at Ramna race course on March 7. There was an eerie nervousness inside Dhaka Cantonment and even in the then West Pakistan. Media personalities from all over the world thronged Dhaka to be witnesses to unfolding events. They wanted to listen to the Poet of Politics.
The previous day and before Bangabandhu started for the race course his political colleagues crowded his Dhanmondi residence with suggestions as to what he should say in the afternoon. Begum Mujib who always stood beside her husband during hours of need whispered in his ears, 'I am not sure what you will say but remember in front of you there will be your people and at your back will be guns of Pakistani military junta.' Mujib's old friend Haji Ghulam Murshed drove Mujib to the race course venue on that day. Seated in the car was Awami League leader Gazi Ghulam Mustafa and Mohiuddin Ahmed. Couple of year's back I managed to talk to Haji Murshed about this day. He said, 'When we were driving through the Elephant Road I asked Mujib bhai what he will say today. He thought for a moment and said whatever Allah wants him to speak he will say that.'
By the time Mujib got up on the stage at least half a million people filled the huge Ramna race course. It was a tense moment. A history was in the making.
Mujib was the only speaker on that late afternoon. He had no notes no prepared speech. He spoke from his heart and soul. In his nineteen minute speech (1086 words) he slowly and accurately narrated the long twenty three years history of discrimination of the Bengalis by the West Pakistan rulers, how they were betrayed in all aspects of economic and political life and how the people of East Bengal became a colony of West Pakistan. He reiterated the backdrop that led to the current situation and asked the people to prepare for the upcoming days and reminded them that the movement this time will be for emancipation and freedom of the people. His voice was deep and hypnotic that instilled a sense of confidence amongst the people of the entire country.
Many pundits naively argue why Mujib did not declare independence on the March 7. Mujib was not a romantic revolutionary and he did not want to appear as a secessionist leader. A leader whose party had won the majority seats in the parliament cannot be a secessionist. He waited and continued discussion with General Yahya to show to the world that he wanted a peaceful solution to the problem, knowing very well that Pakistan's military junta will never hand over the rule of Pakistan to Sk. Mujib. Bangabandhu was a leader of vision and courage and he knew when to make his move.
On the fateful night of March 26, 1971 the Pakistani military junta made the fatal move by launching 'Operation Search Light,' thus sealing the coffin of Jinnah's Pakistan. Throughout the nine month War of Liberation the Speech of March 7 was the guiding light and source of inspiration. According to the British author Jacob F Field Sk. Mujib's speech of March 7, 1971 is amongst the speeches of statesmen, generals, kings that inspired history. Mujib's speech not only inspired history but became a history by itself and inspired an entire nation of seven and half a million. His speech will live eternally and shall inspire generations after generations, even beyond boundaries of Bangladesh. The recognition of UNESCO is just reinforcement of what the people of this country have always known. Long live the memories of Bangabandhu Sk. Mujib and long live the memories of March 7, 1971.

Gate is Open
Driving back and forth lately I haven't seen any one at the gate. It looks like it is finally closed for the season. The road to Red Rock is still open. Usually they close that at the start of Nov. or when the snow flies.
Driving back and forth lately I haven't seen any one at the gate. It looks like it is finally closed for the season. The road to Red Rock is still open. Usually they close that at the start of Nov. or when the snow flies.
When does the ice form in red rock? Have you ever had the chance to climb in the canyon?
Posted by chris morris
I don't head up there very often in the winter as the road is closed. I would imagine once the snow is on the ground the freeze thaw should kick in. They are melt water seeps, so should form fairly early. They are also quite shaded. However the top of the climbs probably melts out since they are south facing, even if they are in the canyon. I would guess by the end/middle of Nov. they should be in. You could certainly try earlier based on low temps and a single snow dusting. You should be able to bike in without too much trouble. There are a few long drifts that make this impractical in the winter. I have done it at Christmas and February.
The pillar just above the upper bridge is pretty nice. I believe that is the one I have shots of in my website. It can be a bit thin though. A mixed route is to the left. I worry about scratching the rock there though, so have generally avoided it. The climb just below the bridge really isn't worth much. It steepens up at the narrow top, but is more awkward than fun.
Ruby falls is a really good spot. It is quite shaded, although the ice is super wet (hence the names). It is in a pretty cool spot. Bring snowshoes for the approach up the drainage.
Down by St. Mary's an early season ice climb also comes into shape just behind the town. I haven't been up on it though, and haven't bought the Montana ice guide to see what is written up.

I was wondering if anyone has done any of the routes on Stanley Peak? Can they be done in early november? In the select alpine climbs book it talks about the two couloirs having the the usual objective hazards associated with couloirs. Can anyone go into a little more detail(cornices?). I am looking for an alpine climb (grade 2-3) mostly snow and ice. Any ideas?
Also on a side note I was climbing around Fernie up the hartley road. There is a decent cliff (two pitches), but we had no idea what any of the grades where.
Posted by Nathan Shenton
I think I am off to hike the akamina ridge or into the Nanatuck on Sat. If anyone is interested, let me know by giving me a call 859-2452.
The elk weren't out on the pass creek flats today.

Hey Nathan, I would think that Stanley would be a better climb in the summer unless the area has had a dry fall which has not been the case this year. Dave and i did the east ridge of Storm Mtn. towards the end of August and there was still some cornice on the top end or our route then. When we summited we had a good look at Stanley and it looked to me like there was a fair bit of snow on it then and i know there's been a fair bit of snow since. Dave has a pretty good picture of it on his website. Not saying it's not doable but i would sure proceed with caution. You could also post a note on LTV and see if anybody has done the route or been in the area in the last couple of weeks. That would give you a better idea yet.
Posted by Blair Piggot
Hey Nathan, I,ve been to the stanley head wall in early november and there was lots of snow around so be careful and send a report back on how the ice is looking.

Things With Wings
Anyhow, enough whinging and on to the new challenge over at Make My Monday which this week has a theme I chose because I really love nature themed things or fantasy of course as you could have angels or fairies instead of birds, butterflies and so on.
Here's my inspiration which I hope you like.
The bird collage is by Penny Black and was stamped on smooth cartridge paper, coloured with Inktense pencils and then inked a little with Distress inks which I also edged with after cutting it to a panel. I added mats of green and pink as I'm thinking of Spring (despite the hail storms we had today!).
I made the background paper by stamping the Stampendous Frantage flowers round the edges of a panel of card with the Archival coffee ink I used for the bird panel. I then coloured them with Distress markers and inked with Distress inks, edging as before and then sticking to a white card blank, adding the matted main panel on top.
Hoping you have a great week.
Fliss xx

China's men's team win 9th consecutive title at table tennis worlds
Defeating Germany 3-0, defending champions China claimed their ninth consecutive title at men's final of the 2018 World Team Table Tennis Championships here on Sunday.
China, featuring veterans Ma Long, Xu Xin and world No.1 Fan Zhendong, confronted the tournament's No.1 seed represented by world No.2 Timo Boll teamed with Ruwen Filus and Patrick Franziska.
The final started as China captain Ma took on Boll in the most critical opening match.
Surprisingly, Ma breezed past the 37-year-old 11-4, 11-8, 11-3, giving China a precious advantage in the best of five showdown.
In the following match, 21-year world No. 1 wasted no time to demolish Filus in a convincing manner 11-4, 11-5, 11-4.
Franziska, who beat Jeoung Youngsik in deciding game of the semifinal, stepped up onto the court to prevent Germany from being swept out in the third match.
Confronting the good-shaped German, left-hander Xu Xin lost the first set 9-11. The second set was also a hard-fought one, which Xu won with a minimal margin 12-10.
The third set started with 6-6 tie, then the world No.4 penholder took control, winning by 11-7.
With a turning over to lead the game by 2-1, Xu became relaxed and collected the fourth set by 11-5, helping China raise the Swaythling Cup for the 21st time.
China captain Ma attributed the victory to the whole team. Asked about the Tokyo Olympics he said, "Two years is not long, also not short either, I need to plan for it, but first of all, I have to get the ticket to Tokyo."

Pajiba After Dark: It's Like if Matt Damon Hulked Out And Lost His Fashion Sense
By Genevieve Burgess | Miscellaneous | May 15, 2011 |
By Genevieve Burgess | Miscellaneous | May 15, 2011 |
Sunday has been one of those days that I find confusing to refer to, because I consider it the end of the week but calendars and some very wrong people consider it the beginning of a new week. It's certainly not the kind of difference of opinion to fight wars over or anything, but just a sort of mental perception. Are you spending your whole week looking forward to "The Killing" and other Sunday shows, or do you start your week off with them and then spend the rest of the week waiting for a new episode? Then again, since I'm currently unemployed and job hunting it's really just another day in a series of days that I get to wear pajama pants and spend most of my day on the couch in front of my computer. Actually, that sounds less like I'm unemployed and more like I'm a successful blogger. By the way, thank you to all of you wished me congratulations last Thursday on my graduation. And no, I don't plant the trolls who only show up when I talk about myself. They're apparently kind enough to read my column every day to know when their unique and thoughtful contributions are needed to spur intelligent discourse on who is stupider. Here's your Sunday night TV:
7:00pm: "60 Minutes" on CBS

8:00pm: "Bert the Conquerer" on Travel
"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" on ABC. Eighth season finale.
"The Family Crews" on BET. Second season finale.
"Food Network Challenge: Wrestling Cakes (WWE)" on Food Network. I don't know any of the WWE guys aside from the Rock and that dude in the jean shorts who looks like Matt Damon on a truckload of steroids so I'm even more bewildered by this show than usual. Are the cakes going to look like wrestlers? Are they going to be perched on ladders so they can fall off onto other, lesser cakes? Have all the bakers agreed who's going to win beforehand, but will spend the entire hour "confronting" each other "unexpectedly" while still being suspiciously mic'ed with cameras in the room to up the tension? I'd watch to find out, but I think that would leave me with far more questions than answers.
"Jerseylicious" on Style. Third season premiere.
"Minute to Win It" on NBC
"Mob Wives" on VH1
"Bears of the Last Frontier" on PBS
"Season 25: Oprah Behind the Scenes" on OWN
"The Simpsons" on Fox

Leeds University's Dr Alan Grainger was in a meeting of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation in November 2015, watching the initial results of a survey of the world's forest land which he and a team of 239 researchers from 15 different institutions dotted around the world had begun to work on. The images, beamed up on the screen, showed a map of the world.
In his head, Alan held one map: of the world's known forests, collated by a collection of satellite images called Landsat, which have been collected since 1972, but weren't mapped and published until 2012. In front of his eyes, he saw the second map: a more detailed image – using satellite sensors 30 times more precise, and collected from the images that, stitched together, present our world on Google Earth. It was the map the researchers had been working on. Alan knew the Landsat map very well, and as the image in his mind's eye switched to the one he could see in front of him, he noticed differences.
'There were very large areas that we had discovered that weren't on the Landsat map,' he explains. 'That was one of those Eureka moments. That's what scientists labour for for many years. They don't happen very often.'
It was vindication for the academic, who had been calling for a better survey of the world's forestlands since 1984. He's been particularly focused on drylands, the supposedly barren scrubs of the world that are meant to be little more than sand – but which have now been proven to have plenty of wood. This dryland covers around 40 percent of the planet, and contains some of the world's most threatened ecosystems, and was the modern-day equivalent of the old 'terra incognita' (unknown territory) that used to be marked on maps. People knew it was there; they just didn't know what was in it.
Dry forest was overlooked for various reasons, reckons Alan. Firstly, money talks. 'Dryland doesn't contain as much commercial timber,' he says, and it's also more difficult to map technologically than closed forest. Governments are meant to keep a check on the amount of woodland within their borders, but focus on the lush, green land that is commercially beneficial, rather than all woodland. They also rarely monitor more often than every 20 or 30 years. 'Even our estimates of the total area of forestation in the world aren't reliable because they're based on piecing together the numbers in different countries in different years,' says Alan.
The study that Alan helped drive through provided a more accurate estimate for the world's woodland, both dry forest and the more verdant areas. The mammoth team of analysts counted how many trees there were in a more accurate way. They did that by analysing a stratified sample of more than 210,000 sample plots throughout the world. Each university was allocated a different parcel of the planet to analyse: the team at Leeds were allocated an area around south west Asia, covering countries including Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan. Taking hyper-detailed satellite images of the land that had a resolution of one metre or less via a piece of software called Collect Earth, developed by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation, the 22 student team at Leeds University sifted through 1,000 plots over the course of 10 days, checking them and marking whether the images included wooded land. 'It was hard work,' Alan admits, 'because we're not able to map these high-resolution images in an automated way. We rely on people.' It may have been hard work, but he was astounded by the results which showed that there was nine percent more forest cover of all types across the globe than was previously thought. In all, 467 million hectares of new woodland – an area roughly the combined size of Mexico and Argentina – was discovered.
The global coverage of dryland, which had inspired Alan to take up the cudgels of increasing forest awareness, increased by 40 percent from previous estimates. It meant that the estimated size of the globe's dryland was similar to the size of the more traditional rainforests found in the Amazon, Borneo and the Congo basin.
'I think it's a tremendous achievement that we've solved one of these puzzles about our world,' says Alan. But it's not simply the fact that this area of woodland has been discovered that is so astounding: it's the knock-on effect that this density of forestation has on the rest of our atmosphere (and our understanding of it) which is so impressive.
Finding almost 10 percent more forest cover across the planet means that the science behind carbon levels and climate change needs to be rewritten. 'If you want to estimate how much carbon there is on land, you've got to start with the exact area of forest,' explains Alan. 'If you've got your basic forest number incorrect, your estimate of how much carbon there is is incorrect too.' He's succinct in what's happened: 'All of our previous estimates of how much carbon there was in the world's forests are based on inaccurate numbers of the global forest area.'
At a simplistic level, forests sequester carbon from the atmosphere as part of their existence, sucking in carbon, reducing the level of harmful greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, and breathing out oxygen, keeping our air cleaner. The fact that there's now two countries' worth of woodland doing that which scientists previously didn't think was there, means their sums need to be recalculated.
They may not need to wipe the whole blackboard of equations, though. The discovery of the new forest land goes some way to explaining a quibble that had irked scientists for years, which they called the carbon sink. When scientists add up all the known emissions of carbon, and net that off against the known uptakers of carbon (the world's trees, sucking it in and spitting out oxygen), they found a gap between the two. 'The fact that we've found nine percent more forest land helps to explain this carbon sink,' Alan explains.
It's a momentous occasion, and not just because of the sheer numbers involved. We're literally reshaping how we view our planet and its environment.
'The dry forests were one of the great areas of uncertainty in global forest cover,' says Alan. 'The fact that we've got a more reliable area for the dry forest means we're on the way to working out how much forest there is in the world.'
You may notice that Alan said 'on the way'. The work isn't over yet, he believes. If you can discover another nine percent of forest simply by looking a little harder, who's to say that there aren't more surprises lurking around the corner? 'We are just at the start of an exciting revolution in planetary measurement. The thing to take away from this is that we need to keep on measuring,' says Alan. 'If we do, there's much more to discover.'

There are a lot of ways in order to get your carpet clean. A good homeowner will always try to find the best possible carpet cleaning solution in order to maintain the cleanliness and quality of the carpet at home. If you are looking for a method that will help keep your carpet clean and spotless all the time, dry carpet cleaning may just be for you.
Dry carpet cleaning entails using a dry cleaning compound which is biodegradable. All you need to do is to apply the cleaning compound on the affected areas of the carpet and allow it to set for an hour or so and then extract it using a vacuum cleaner. The cleaning compound will absorb all the dust and dirt and will make your carpet spotlessly clean once more.
If you have heard of dry carpet cleaning only just now, maybe you should give it a try and enjoy the many advantages that it has to offer. If you aren't totally convinced yet, here are some of the many benefits that it has to help you decide.
• It Does Not Make Use of Moisture or Water – This is probably one of the best perks of using dry carpet cleaning. Using traditional carpet cleaning techniques would entail making use of water or moisture to get rid of the dust and dirt on your carpet. Using water is a hassle because you would need to wait a long time before the carpet becomes dry which is the time when you can start using it again. This long length of time can be very annoying and frustrating. Certainly by using dry carpet cleaning, you won't have to worry about this problem any more because as soon as you vacuum the cleaning compound, you are already okay to use your carpet again.
• It is Environment Friendly – Nowadays, the exposure that the environment is getting is becoming popular. A lot of people are now becoming more conscious of the environment and if you want to do your share, you can always do so by using dry carpet cleaning. This is because it does not have any negative effects on the environment. The cleaning compound is biodegradable so you won't have any negative effects on Mother Nature. By using dry carpet cleaning, you are able to get your carpet looking clean and perfect while also doing your part in helping preserve our environment.
If you are still intrigued by dry carpet cleaning, why not try it for once. It will be something that you will be thanking yourself for doing.

What is true love? Love is patient. Love is kind. Love is not a mathematical equation.
Simon Pampena
Wait! It says here that it is.
Science Based Algorithm Matching!
Simon Pampena
Algorithms! Maths! It's what dating websites use to find your perfect match. Look! Worldwide, each month, almost 150 million people go online to find dates, some of them looking for 'the one'. Even Australia's top websites boast over a million members each, but is there any evidence that arming Cupid's bow with algorithms, not arrows, will hit true love?
Well, let's go back a step to find out. If Lady Luck's been a bit slow to step in and find you a soulmate, why wouldn't you trust online mathematicians to get the job done? All they ask of you is data.
Do you like rock music? How often do you brush your teeth?
Do you get angry easily?
Would you just shut up?
Your answers are compared with those of potential partners, often on the basis that similarity is the key.
Professor Eli Finkel
The idea isn't crazy, right? We all have this intuition that we end up happier in relationships where we have personality and values in common with the person that we're marrying.
Simon Pampena
So maybe matching like with like could work. Do you want to be the centre of attention?
Simon Pampena
Or maybe not.
Professor Eli Finkel
The problem is that the evidence over the last five years is really clear that similarity on those things just isn't a very strong predictor of whether people end up happy in their relationships. Large-scale studies recently have shown that we do tend to match up and marry people who are more similar to us on variables like race and age and other sociodemographic variables. But what you really want to know is, are people happier in relationships with somebody who is more similar to them rather than less similar? And the answer is, they're about equally happy in both cases.
Right. But similar or not, can't you just let the algorithm know what you want?
I'd like... him to not want to be the centre of attention. That's what I'm for.
Professor Eli Finkel
Most of us go through life assuming that we know what it is that we're looking for in a romantic partner, but it assumes that we're accurate. The problem is, we keep finding in study after study that you don't really have that much insight into those things.
Advanced algorithms also factor in that not all the data they collect is equal - at least to you.
Simon Pampena
Each question is given a weighting by you for its importance to you. That way, his belief in God can still trump an annoying habit.
Some matching algorithms claim to mine data from the way you answer the question, not just the answer itself. So loud and outgoing people...
Am I the life of the party? Whoo!
..will answer the questionnaire differently to those who are shy and reserved. That creates individual patterns of data which may reveal hidden personality traits that even YOU didn't know you had. Matching algorithms can also compare potential couples against thousands of real couples they've already studied - some still happily together, and others who have separated.
Simon Pampena
It all sounds relatively scientific - potential compatibility based on real compatibility. But just because they're using scientific methods doesn't mean their algorithms are scientific.
Professor Harry Reis
Well, there's lots of research that looks at, what are the characteristics of the couples who have done well, and the couple who don't do so well? The problem is that that kind of work is not the same as predicting which couples will do well in advance. Nearly all of the information that you would need to predict well is simply not available before two people have met - things like life stresses, having children, coping with illness - and therefore, your access to the things that really matter in predicting long-term success in a relationship is simply not there.
So if a couple are truly perfect for each other, is there any algorithm they can trust to rate them as the most mutually compatible couple? Well, the scientists say no.
Yep. That's despite some of the industry's claims.
Anonymous Man
We've conducted years of extensive research and have an algorithm that delivers lasting relationships, not just great dates.
Simon Pampena
But how?
Anonymous Man
Wouldn't you like to know?
Simon Pampena
Anonymous Man
Professor Harry Reis
None of the algorithms that is currently available has been tested by valid scientific means. That means that on some fundamental level, we cannot ascertain whether these methods really work.
Professor Eli Finkel
There's a second issue too, which is, in principle, how likely is it that an algorithm that focuses on information about people who have never met can actually predict not only short-term but also long-term compatibility? And we delved deeply into this question in a recent article and concluded that the odds of them being successful with these methods are close to zero. Hey! Where's everyone gone?
Professor Harry Reis
I don't know.
Simon Pampena
There was no compelling evidence that mathematical algorithms did as they claimed.
Have you finished? Do you mind if we go on?
Simon Pampena
But it is a numbers game, and the authors did say that the websites are still a great way to meet new people.

...and next week we'll find out on the same programme, ie Catalyst, that all attractions that lead to life long relationships are founded on the sense of smell and the need for complementary DNA in a partner.
Thus far no-one has invented the scratch and sniff ipad, but clearly it's the next step Lol.

The Los Angeles Times, New York Times, and Washington Postall lead with the relatively good news out of Southern California, where diminishing winds gave firefighters a hand, and the wildfires that began Sunday began subsiding finally. Although many fires continue to burn, the general feeling yesterday was that "the worst days of a terrible siege appeared over," says the LAT. So far, the fires have burned through almost 700 square miles, consumed more than 1,600 homes, and, officials estimate, caused more than $1 billion in damages, but many say the actual price tag will be lower. President Bush is scheduled to tour the region today.
USA Todayleads with a report by the National Association of Realtors that says sales of existing homes in September fell 8 percent. It is the largest drop since the association began looking at the figures in 1999, and it's far worse than most economists expected. Preliminary October figures show the trend is likely to continue as some cities have seen existing home sales drop more than 44 percent compared to last year. The NYT fronts word that several economists predict the cost of the mortgage woes for financial firms and investors will be up to $400 billion, which is more than the losses from the savings and loan crisis of the 1990s.
Despite the general sense of optimism in Southern California yesterday, questions remained about whether the state had done enough to prepare for large wildfires. Both the NYT and LAT detail complaints that the state didn't follow the recommendations made by a blue-ribbon panel created after the devastating 2003 fires. For example, the LAT points out that out of the 150 new fire trucks the panel recommended, the state only got 19, and they won't arrive until next year. But Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger had little patience yesterday for those who suggested firefighting efforts were hampered by a lack of resources. "It is just a bunch of nonsense," he said.
Another frequent theme this week has been the growing costs of protecting people who choose to live in remote, fire-prone areas. USAT crunched the numbers and fronts a look at how, since 2000, more than 55,000 people have moved to neighborhoods that were affected by this week's fires. Everyone notes that officials believe at least some of the fires were deliberately set, and police in San Bernardino County said they shot and killed a suspected arsonist Tuesday night.
As fires began subsiding, many who evacuated returned home yesterday. Although there were reports that as many as 1 million people evacuated, the true number is probably much lower. The LAT fronts a look at how difficult it is to come up with a reliable figure and concludes that "the widely publicized estimates of evacuation numbers are probably exaggerated."
The WP and NYT front word that the Bush administration will announce a broad package of sanctions against Iran today that includes designating the elite Quds Force, which is the foreign operations wing of the Revolutionary Guard Corps, as a supporter of terrorism. The Revolutionary Guard Corps, the most powerful division of Iran's military, will be accused of proliferating weapons of mass destruction. It will mark the first time the United States has taken specific steps against a country's military and "is the broadest set of punitive measures imposed on Tehran since the 1979 takeover of the U.S. Embassy," says the Post, which was the first to break the story. Still, initial plans to designate the whole Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization appear to have been scaled back after complaints from allies and some officials. The designations means sanctions will be imposed that could affect many foreign companies since the Revolutionary Guard controls key aspects of the Iranian economy. "We will be freezing assets, and there will be ripple effects of where we can go from there," an administration official tells the Times.
Meanwhile, in the Democratic presidential race, the Post's Dan Balz notes that "Iran has become the new Iraq" as Sen. Hillary Clinton has found herself under attack by the other contenders for her vote in favor of the terrorist designation for the Revolutionary Guard. Some say the vote marks the first step toward war, but Clinton contends it was a push for more diplomacy. While on the presidential race, the NYT fronts a look at how Rudolph Giuliani is being advised by some of the most hawkish Republicans, which is an issue that several bloggers, particularly Talking Points Memo, have been writing about. Their presence has served as a comfort to some Republicans who don't like his positions on other issues, such as abortion.
The Post fronts, and everyone mentions, news that the State Department's diplomatic security chief, Richard Griffin, resigned and became the first senior official to lose his job in the controversy surrounding private guards in Iraq.
The NYT manages to talk to some Blackwater employees in Iraq, who live in a separate compound in the Green Zone that one compared to a "minimum-security prison," and says there's a growing feeling among guards "that the killings of Sept. 16 were unjustified." But some emphasized they still want to believe their colleagues didn't do anything inappropriate, and those in the compound hold on to the thought that the guards were fired on first. The Blackwater employees said the leader of the convoy on that fateful day and "two or three" others on the team have returned to the United States.
Meanwhile, the Post reports that the U.S. Embassy in Iraq is offering financial compensation to families of the victims of the Sept. 16 shooting. Several have turned down the payments, either because they viewed the amount, which in some cases was $12,500, as too low or because they feared it would limit their options to pursue legal action in the future.
The WSJ takes a look at how violence in Iraq is increasingly the result of fighting between members of the same sect, which certainly complicates things for those in Washington who have been advocating for a "soft partition." The paper talks to a general in Iraq who says much of the conflict resembles the fighting among organized-crime families. "I tell my guys, the best way they can prepare before they come out here is to watch The Sopranos."

NORTHERN MICHIGAN — The Health Department of Northwest Michigan is gearing up for the 2010-11 influenza season by making special efforts to educate the public about the new universal flu recommendations. The single best way to protect against the flu is to get vaccinated each year and, for the first time this flu season, it is recommended that everyone 6 months of age and older receive a seasonal flu vaccine.
While flu is unpredictable, it's likely that 2009 H1N1 viruses and regular seasonal viruses will cause illness in the United States this flu season. The 2010-2011 flu vaccine will protect against three different flu viruses: An H3N2 virus, an influenza B virus and the H1N1 virus that caused so much illness last season.
"Flu season is on its way and we encourage all Michigan residents over 6 months of age to get vaccinated," said Linda Yaroch, deputy health officer for the Health Department. "The single best way to prevent the flu is to get vaccinated. Everyone 6 months of age and older — including healthy people — need to get vaccinated against influenza this year and every year."
The Health Department has lots of vaccine in stock and has appointments available for flu shots and flu mist at offices in Bellaire, Mancelona, Charlevoix, Petoskey/Harbor Springs, and Gaylord, as well as at local businesses.
Cost for seasonal flu vaccination is $15. Medicaid and Medicare are accepted. No one is turned away for inability to pay. Call the Health Department at 800-432-4121 to schedule an appointment.
Flu vaccinations are effective throughout the entire flu season, which can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Vaccine manufacturers expect shipments to be made on time this year. A record number of doses of flu vaccine — 160 million — are expected to be produced this flu season and the Health Department has already received initial shipments.
There are two types of flu vaccines:
• The flu shot — an inactivated vaccine (containing killed virus) that is given with a needle. The seasonal flu shot is approved for use in people 6 months of age and older, including healthy people, people with chronic medical conditions and pregnant women.
• The nasal-spray flu vaccine — a vaccine made with live, weakened flu viruses that do not cause the flu (sometimes called LAIV for "Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine"). LAIV is approved for use in healthy people 2-49 years of age who are not pregnant.
For additional information, contact your health care provider, call your local health department or visit www.nwhealth.org or www.cdc.gov/flu.

We'll walk you through from start to print and beyond.
We'll walk you through every question so you don't have to worry about missing any details.
Add your signature or request someone else's right from your computer—no printer or scanner necessary.
Need to print a paper copy or send an email? Your document is saved in your account so you can access it anytime.
Paperwork truly can be easy, and you shouldn't have to get a law degree to complete legal documents! Our proprietary forms are attorney-created, leagally binding, and easy to complete.
A bill of sale is a written document that is used to verify the ownership change of a piece of property of some kind, most commonly a car or boat, from one person to another. When it comes to the sale of a motor vehicle, boat, or other vehicle that must be registered through your state, the purchaser should have the bill of sale on hand when they are registering the vehicle in their name.
A bill of sale isn't just used by the purchaser to prove that they now own the property in question. It can also be used by the seller. For instance, if someone sells a car to another person, the seller may automatically assume that the buyer took the steps necessary to change the vehicle ownership over through the state. If the seller is notified that there are outstanding parking tickets related to that vehicle after the car was no longer in their possession, they would be able to use a copy of the bill of sale to show that the vehicle isn't under their control and the information of the person who purchased the vehicle.Get started now ›
When using a bill of sale for a vehicle of some kind or a boat, there are certain things that the document should include:
A bill of sale is also commonly used when a firearm is sold. Although the firearm may not undergo a registration process with the state, a bill of sale is still important because it acts as a chain of custody for the weapon. When a firearm is sold, the bill of sale should include information about the type of gun that it is along with the serial number. The bill of sale should also include the date the sale occurred, the price paid, and the names and contact information of both the buyer and the seller. It should also be signed and dated by the buyer and seller.
Because a bill of sale documents the ownership change of a piece of property, it is important to note that it could be state specific. This means that depending on what the bill of sale is used for, there may be specific things that must be included in the bill of sale according to your state. Since a bill of sale is generally used for a motor vehicle, you can verify if a bill of sale has everything it needs by visiting with the state agency that registers vehicles or boats in your state. Many times, these agencies have websites that will address what should be included in a bill of sale in order to be legally binding.
Regardless of whether you are the buyer or the seller, you should keep copies of the bill of sale. Often, a copy of the bill of sale is needed when a buyer wants to register the property in their name. The state agency usually keeps that copy. So, it's important for the buyer to have more than one copy at least until they get their documents back from the state. For sellers, they should hold on to the bill of sale for several years for documentation purposes.

Mike Pence bashes the media in public while Donald Trump is watching, but in private, he is undermining Trump's war on the press for his own political future.
In public, where Donald Trump is watching him and tweeting, Mike Pence has played along with his media bashing. But behind closed doors, where connections are being made that could make or break a future presidential run, Pence is whispering sweet nothings into reporters' ears.
If Pence wants to challenge Trump in 2020 — or take over for him should he not finish his first term, thanks to a cavalcade of scandals — Pence needs the media to be on his side. A new report reveals the latest evidence of Pence's shadow presidential campaign includes outreach to the media and assurances that he wouldn't bash them as much as Trump does.
While the mainstream press has given Trump an open microphone over the course of his short political career, and has even hired pundits for the sole purpose of cheering him on when his fellow Republicans would not, Trump has still attacked them on a near-daily basis. His small core group of supporters are so familiar with his baseless allegations of "fake news" and "crooked media" that they have become a standard part of his song and dance at his rallies.
But Pence is assuring the media that he won't be as mean as Trump is. Politico reports that while Pence complained about media coverage during his speech to the Trump faithful at this week's Phoenix campaign rally, "Pence's office provided POLITICO with some of Pence's recent statements that seem to soften the president's stance."
His office gave the outlet copies of remarks he delivered at a NATO summit in February, where he said, "Rest assured that both the president and I strongly support a free and independent press."
Pence's team also highlighted a Washington Post article contrasting Trump and Pence on the press, which included a quote from Pence remarking, "I've been an advocate of the free and independent press for a long time."
The behind-the-scenes posturing is further evidence that Pence is playing the long game. He created his own PAC to dispense money to potential supporters, he has assembled a political team on the vice presidential payroll, and he has been wooing big dollar donors at his official residence — all while barnstorming swing states and speaking to conservative groups.
Pence continues to protest reports of his campaign-style moves, but his actions undermine his rhetoric. He has repeatedly admired Trump's "broad shoulders," but his actions indicate he views them as runway for his own political ambitions to take off.

Aucklanders, can you just imagine it? Sand between your toes at a choice of inner-city beaches, the tranquil waters of a beautiful blue lagoon, a stroll along the boardwalk, paddling down a Venetian-like canal, green space galore, trendy new apartments, offices, cafes, bars and restaurants, a Maori cultural centre, new stadium and - wait for it - even a glowing volcano!
Now picture this large-scale, vibrant, multi-use, pedestrian- and environmentally friendly area on prime waterfront real estate, in the heart of the super city, accessible to all, another magical space where Aucklanders can live, work and play.
Oh, and not a hulking great shipping container or line of imported cars in sight!
The bold vision for the city's container port site - courtesy of city architectural firm Archimedia and unveiled earlier this week - has certainly got people talking.
Okay, it's not an official plan - and even if it were it would be decades in the making - but it's a rare and brand-new vision for the port area, one that demonstrates the possibilities of thinking big, and creatively, and throwing caution to the wind. If nothing else, it will kick-start important debate: What do Aucklanders want for the area? What do we need? What could be achieved?
The container port - in its current location - is surely on borrowed time. Significant analysis has been and continues to be undertaken through the independent Port Future Study of 2016, the Auckland Council's current draft City Centre and Waterfront Master Plan, and Ports of Auckland's 30-year-plan for the site. The new coalition Government is likely to establish its promised port study group soon, too.
While the time scale and logistics (where to relocate to, what components to relocate, complicated land ownership issues to name a few) are far from resolved, all the major stakeholders acknowledge relocation is inevitable because of forecast growth - in freight imports and exports, in cruise ships and other tourism, and in Auckland's own population.
Getting everybody on the same page, and working to the same timeframe however, is far from straightforward.
Ports have long been the lifeblood of cities and regional and national economies. But there is increasing friction between those operating a working port - and the variety of essential industries located in close proximity - and the public, who desire waterfront access and beautification.
All around the world - from Sydney and Brisbane, to London and Glasgow, from Barcelona to Helsinki - cities in warm and cold climates alike are succeeding in balancing these competing interests, and creating vibrant, modern shared spaces in formerly dirty and depressing dockland areas.
In New Zealand, windy Wellington's waterfront has been revitalised; Dunedin, in the often chilly south, has a striking multi-purpose vision for part of its waterfront; and here in the City of Sails, as the vibrant Wynyard Quarter continues to take shape, Aucklanders can not only see the possibilities but enjoy the realities on offer as a result of imagination, innovation and collaboration.
It is inevitable aspects of the aspirational will need to give way to the achievable if the city's next harbourside redevelopment is to come to fruition. But we won't create anything of substance - for ourselves or future generations - if we don't dare to dream big to begin with.

Yo Gotti Ft. Fetty Wap – Tell Me
Yo Gotti and Fetty Wap take over the desert in new "Tell Me" video.
Yo Gotti had a stellar latter half to 2015, dropping two mixtapes, The Return and Any Hood America. The former provided a few more hits, starting with "Down in the DM," which has proven to be the biggest track of Gotti's career. The Return also contained a collab with Fetty Wap, "Tell Me," that boasts surprisingly poppy production from Zaytoven. It's surprising "Tell Me" hasn't quite followed the success of "Down in the DM" yet, but the new video should take it to new heights.
And what a video it is. Shot in the middle of the desert, Gotti and Fetty rap in front of army planes and legitimate tanks. We knew Gotti was connected, but we didn't know he had a plug in the military. The rest of the video is spent riding on ATVs with bodacious women. What a life.
