Among all the preparations that go into getting ready for a show, cleaning up your horse is a big item to check off the list. It’s important to look your best when you enter the ring, regardless of your discipline, and the appearance of your horse is a major part of the overall picture. Your horse’s tail should appear long, thick and neat, with mane pulled, combed or braided. Overall coat condition should be rich and sheen from a habit of healthy grooming, exercise and nutrition, along with high quality grooming products. Luckily, a new company, Ponytail, has launched a high-end grooming collection of shampoos, conditioners, and other helpful items to get your horse’s coat to shimmer and make your horse show prep easier. - Start with a Bath: A conditioning shampoo will help to bring out the natural shine of your horse’s hair while it removes all the dirt and grime that has gotten down into the coat. A sponge can be used to massage the shampoo into your horse’s coat, and a hand curry can be used to scrub dirtier areas that need a little extra attention. Some people prefer to create a shampoo-water mixture in a bucket and sponge out of there onto the horse. Applying the shampoo directly to a soaked sponge, however, is a great way to make your shampoo bottle last longer. The shampoo will foam up as you briskly rub the sponge on the horse, and you ensure no shampoo is left behind and wasted in a bucket. Alternatively, Ponytail offers a Foam & Frolic shampoo-infused sponge that already has the shampoo inside. The sponge will last you approximately 2 washes on your horse. - Condition Away Tangles: With all the time your horse spends outside roaming the paddocks, moving briskly under saddle, or rolling around in the dirt, it’s expected that their mane and tail may get fairly tangled. Leave-in conditioner can be massaged into your horse’s mane and tail to help detangle and smooth the hair. This will make combing out these areas throughout the show day much easier, and everything will be left soft, silky and shiny. - Braid Your Mane: A braided mane gives a very finished look to a horse entering a show ring, and in my competitions they are required. Make the job a bit easier on yourself while improving the final look by using a stay-braid spray. Sprays like this help to add additional shine and give a strong hold to the hair so unruly manes are tamed and braids stay put, looking perfect. - Touch-Up Quick: If your horse has decided his manure pile looks like a great place to lie down for the night after a day of bathing and cleaning, there is no need to fret. Ponytail’s Trot the Spot is a rinse-free shampoo, so you can touch-up any stains on-the-go, leaving a glossy shine behind. Filling your horse show prep kit up with these items, as well as bringing the spot cleaner along in the trailer, will allow your horse to look as top-quality as you do on the day of the show. Aside from a pre-show bath, regular high-quality grooming, good nutrition, and consistent exercise will help to keep your horse in winning form inside and out. A little hoof polish, a damp towel over their face and a wipe down of your own boots, and heads will be sure to turn as you make your way to the ring, already a winner.

The Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF or HYD) (Armenian: - Hay Heghapokhakan Dashnaktsutiun, Dashnaktsutiun, - Dashnak or Tashnag) is an Armenian political party founded in Tiflis (Tbilisi in modern-day Georgia) in 1890 by Christapor Mikaelian, Stepan Shaumian, Stepan Zorian, and Simon Zavarian. The party works in Armenia and in countries where the Armenian diaspora is active, notably in Lebanon and the ethnically Armenian-dominated de facto Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh. Museum The Armenian Revolutionary Federation History Museum was created during an official ceremony Friday 2007 at Yerevan's Kristapor Mikaelian Center, with the party's leaders and supporters on hand to mark this momentous occasion. Opened in 1946, the ARF History Museum was in Paris and during the years has collected more than 3,000 artifacts describing the party's history. After the ARF's return to Armenia, the museum and the ARF archives have been sent to Armenia. Giro Manoyan is one of the leaders of ARF.
Since minicom doesn't seem to be talking to your modem, check to see that the /dev/modem link points to the right serial port. cua0 is com1, cua1 is com2, etc. -----Original Message----- From: dja genesis mclean org [mailto:dja genesis mclean org] Sent: Wednesday, 7 October 1998 1:08 To: redhat-install-list redhat com Subject: can't dial out from Linux Hi Linuxites! I am a newbie with a problem that has been there since I installed RH 5.1 on my Intel Pentium II a few weeks ago: I can't get Linux to dial out using the built-in modem. Would anyone like to try their hand at this riddle? * The modem type is 56K ITU v.90 * The modem dials fine from WINDOWS 98, it allows me to surf the net, run ws-ftp, etc. * When I run netcfg from X-windows, I go through all the expected steps and netfcg appears to accept the entry. When I click on "activate" in the Interfaces window (with ppp0 highlighted), the status for that line switches to "active" but no dialing occurs. * When I run minicom, it tells me that the modem is initialized, and allows me to go through the sequence for dialing, but I don't hear any tones, and it simply counts down the 45 seconds and retries, without anything happening. There is no response by minicom to typing any of these: AT<return>, ATZ<return>, AT&V<return>, or ATDT<the number><return>. * The command line instructions (borrowed from PPP-setup tips at RedHat website) # cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts # ./if-ppp ifcfg-ppp0 & yield the following only: [1] 2212 * The proper ppp files and directories are all there in /etc/ppp (but not in /usr/sbin ... should there be symbolic links in /usr/sbin?) * When I run "cat /proc/interrupts", it lists (among others): 14: 12370 + ide0 15: 39 + ide1 In particular, there is no IRQ labeled "serial" (should there be?) * /dev/modem is a symbolic link to /dev/cua0. Using modemtool I tried changing this to /dev/cua1 ; this made no difference. Likewise, changing it to /dev/cua2 or to /dev/cua3 didn't help either. I might believe that my scripts are set up incorrectly, etc., but since I don't hear any tones, isn't my problem more basic than that?

Honestly, there hasn’t been a lot of home improvement as of late. I had hoped not only to redo Max’s room this summer, but also the little mudroom/porch/whatever-you-call-it. And patch up the wall in our bedroom that was damaged due to ice dams last winter. And finally finish the odds and ends that I never finished in the kitchen and the hallway. I finished exactly none of that. very sad sigh All that I really managed to do was get a start on Max’s room. As in, I did get it painted. The poor kid got stuck with the smallest (and it is small ) bedroom in the house. And the previous owners had used it as a nursery, so it was painted baby blue with a wallpaper moon and stars scattered about. Max was such a trooper about it, not complaining a bit. But he obviously wanted, and deserved, an update. He came up with a few different color combos before finally settling on orange, white, and black. And I think it was a wise idea to go with the white walls, not only for the sake of making the room seem a little bigger, but also because he really wanted us to put up a strip of color-changing LED lights and the white walls show those off. Our house is odd in a multitude of ways. It’s old, but not old enough to be cool. More like old enough to be a pain in the ass on a regular basis. 😛 The upstairs, which consists only of Max’s tiny room and Annie’s larger room, has walls which are partially wood and partially some textured sort of panels separated by wooden trim. It’s the textured part of the walls that I repainted. The textured material itself wasn’t hard to paint, but as there are 13 (or is it 14?) of these panels, the trim was sort of a nightmare. The taping, while obviously worth, seemed to take forever. And as the wall material was that odd texture, there was still a bit of leakage under it, so I did have to go back and do some touch up with an artist’s brush. But I love the finished look. And more importantly, Max loves the finished look! We also ordered Max a small computer desk and a cool orange office chair, both of which he put together himself. And we did buy and put up the strip of LED lights. So far, we’ve spent well under $200. But there’s still work to do: make headboard make a few big pillows make some sort of window covering (Max and I haven’t figured out what quite yet) possibly make a rug (We can’t afford to replace the carpet now, but what’s there is so ugly. With some input from Max, I whipped up a design to make a latch hook rug. But Max hasn’t decided if he actually wants it or not, as he fears it might impede his office chair. We’re going to play with a few other ideas before committing.) *replace the knobs on the built-into-the-walls drawers and cupboard doors I’d love to say that much of it will be done by this time next month, but I’m just not sure. Fingers crossed though.

Rheumatology Fellowship Program Mission Statement: The purpose of the CSMC fellowship program in rheumatology is to provide a blend of independent and supervised learning that incorporates inpatient and outpatient care for a diverse patient population with rheumatic disease. The goal of the program is to train rheumatologists who will move on to academic research or private rheumatology practice. Program Overview: Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (CSMC) provides the primary inpatient experience for the fellowship program. As a private, non-profit medical center, CSMC is dedicated to excellence in delivering direct health care, performing biomedical research, educating and training physicians and other health care professionals, and improving community health. CSMC operates one of the largest research programs of any private, non-profit hospital in the country. Against this backdrop, attending faculty coverage is extensive, with a new attending every two weeks and an average of two faculty in each outpatient clinic. The patient population is diverse, ranging from indigent patients with neglected and often under-diagnosed rheumatic disease to private patients with early onset rheumatic disease and immediate access to medical care. A balanced blend of independent and supervised work is available to CSMC fellows, with constant monitoring by the program director to ensure that this balance is maintained. An important component of the CSMC training program is learning to be a rheumatology consultant able to address the needs of the referring physician as well as the medical needs of the patient. This learning objective is often missing from other training programs. Overall Program Goals: The primary goal of the CSMC Rheumatology Fellowship Program is to train physicians to provide high quality and scholarly care to patients with rheumatic diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, systematic lupus erythematosus, vasculitis syndromes, osteoarthritis, scleroderma, dermatomyositis, ankylosing spondylitis, fibromyalgia, and a variety of other forms of non-articular rheumatism. A second major goal is to train physicians to understand the impocmrtance of research by encouraging and enabling them to perform meritorious rheumatology investigations. In so doing, fellows come to appreciate the role research plays in the diagnosis, management, and outcome of our patients. The program provides structured didactic activities, research, and clinical experiences, while maintaining flexibility for trainees to meet their individual career goals in academic medicine and/or clinical practice. Through the training curriculum, fellows learn the pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, and treatment approach for patients with complaints suggestive of, or consistent with, rheumatic diseases. Research experience is an integral component of the program, aimed at expanding the knowledge base, critical thinking skills, and problem solving abilities of the trainee. The program is designed for fellows to obtain competence at the level expected of the new rheumatology specialist consultant by the end of the second year of training. The CSMC Rheumatology Fellowship Program expects fellows to obtain competence in the following areas: medical knowledge, patient care, practice-based learning, systems-based practice, interpersonal and communication skills, and professionalism. Overall Educational Objectives: - Apply evolving knowledge of the patho-physiologic mechanisms of rheumatic diseases, including new insights into immunologic, genetic, and environmental factors, to the management of patients with these diseases. - Evaluate epidemiologic data on incidence and prevalence of rheumatic diseases, as well as new strategies for identifying markers of disease susceptibility and severity, in order to diagnose rheumatic diseases at earlier stages when there are better opportunities to treat reversible symptoms and prevent long-term damage and loss of function. - Assess current and emerging diagnostic tools including imaging techniques, specific rheumatologic laboratory tests, and evidence-based reviews of data, and their application to the effective management of patients in both the inpatient and ambulatory setting. - Interpret new clinical trial data on the safety, efficacy, and appropriate use of current and emerging therapies for rheumatic diseases, in order to implement treatment strategies with optimal disease-modifying effect. - Appraise current and emerging strategies for managing pain and co-morbidities, such as cardiovascular disease and pulmonary hypertension, in order to improve quality of life for patients with acute and chronic rheumatic diseases. - Use a multidisciplinary approach for treatment of rheumatologic diseases. Participating Institutions: Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles County-Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Los Angeles Free Clinic, VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System, Venice Family Clinic. For more information about the rheumatology fellowship, please contact:

A ‘time of crisis’ for Poland’s Catholic Church Jan 15, 2021by Donald SnyderAccountabilityPoliticsWorld 20201026T1000-POLAND-ABORTION-RESTRICTIONS-1007828 c.jpg Demonstrators protest Oct. 25, 2020, in front of the Cathedral of Christ the King in Katowice, Poland, against the ruling by Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal that imposes a near-total ban on abortion. Many young Polish women protested in November against the church-backed government proposal to further restrict abortions. (CNS/Agencja Gazeta via Reuters/Anna Lewanska) It was a gloomy forecast for the Polish Catholic Church. “I say it’s a dark night for the church,” said Zbigniew Nosowski, one of Poland’s prominent intellectuals. “It is a difficult time of crisis.” Nosowski, a sociologist and journalist, is editor-in-chief of Wiez (Bond), a scholarly quarterly. Speaking in a phone interview, he said that there is widespread dissatisfaction with the hierarchy of the church and its unwavering embrace of the right-wing authoritarian ruling party, Law and Justice, led by Jaroslaw Kaczynski. The church played a crucial role in the transition from communism to democracy, said Dariusz Stola, professor of history at the Institute for Political Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences. As a result, the church became enmeshed in the nation’s political affairs. “In the last 20 years, we have seen an alliance between the church and the populist right, and this has alienated Poles inside and outside the church,” said Stola. “And now the church will pay for this questionable alliance.” Poles who are in their 40s and 50s are not feeling a loss of faith, but rather a deep loss of identity with the church as an institution, said Nosowski. The church is also losing support from young people who are becoming increasingly secularized. “The church is a very conservative, antiquated institution that is heavily involved in politics and tries to impose its views on all the people and turn them against each other, dividing them into good and bad,” said a 27-year-old student, Agnieszka. CNS-1000 Polish protest in church c.jpeg Demonstrators protest Oct. 25 in the Archcathedral Basilica of St. Stanislaus Kostka in Lodz, Poland, against the ruling by Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal that imposes a near-total abortion ban. (CNS/Agencja Gazeta via Reuters/Marcin Stepien) The student, who asked that her last name not be used for fear of recrimination for participating in the protests, exemplifies the thinking of many young Polish women who protested in November against the church-backed government proposal to further restrict abortions. The LGBTQ community is another target for church attacks. Paulina Gorska, an assistant professor of psychology at Warsaw University, said that last month Krakow Archbishop Marek Jedraszewski had warned that “a rainbow plague” is enveloping Europe like a rapidly spreading virus. “Feminists, gays, lesbians and … trans people have become the national enemy No. 1, an essential target for autocratic and totalitarian regimes throughout the world,” said Maciej Czajkowski, a Warsaw-based Polish television producer who formerly worked for the BBC in London. Czajkowski, who is gay, said that the far right sees people like him as a disease that threatens traditional Polish values. “They want us to go home,” he said. “Where is my home? I thought it was here in Poland.” 20200901T1400-POLAND-LGBT-1004437.JPG Demonstrators hold a giant rainbow flag during a protest against hatred toward LGBT people Aug. 30, 2020, in Warsaw, Poland. (CNS/Kuba Atys, Agencja Gazeta via Reuters) Sexual abuse by priests is also causing Poles to feel alienated from the church, as the documentary “Tell No One” illustrates. It is the story of an adult woman who tracks down an elderly priest who started abusing her when she was 7 years old. She asks the simple question: Why? The documentary has had more than 24 million viewers on YouTube. According to findings by IBRiS, one of the largest polling institutes in Poland, the level of trust for the church plunged from 58% of Polish Catholics in September 2016 to 40% this past November, while the level of distrust jumped from 24% to 42%. Adding to this Polish alienation from the church was the Nov. 10 publication of a Vatican report that found Pope John Paul II had appointed ex-cardinal Theodore McCarrick as Archbishop of Washington in 2000 despite warnings about McCarrick’s sexual harassment of seminarians from a prominent U.S. cardinal. The 449-page McCarrick report, which tarnishes the papacy and calls into question John Paul II’s sainthood, has dealt a severe blow to a Catholic country that took great national pride in its Polish pope. His visits to towns and cities in Poland throughout his 27-year papacy drew large crowds. 20201111T0845-MCCARRICK-REPORT-SUMMARY-1009089.JPG New U.S. Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick kisses Pope John Paul II after he received the red biretta during a consistory ceremony in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican Feb. 21, 2001. (CNS/Reuters/Vincenzo Pinto) Stanislaw Obirek, a professor at the American Studies Center of the University of Warsaw, said the McCarrick report is having a polarizing effect on the Polish church. He said in an email that that Polish bishops and right-wing journalists regard the report as an attack on the “eternal holiness of the Pope.” Obirek, who left the priesthood in 2005 after serving as a Jesuit priest for nine years, takes an opposing view. He sides with liberals who view the case as an example of the necessity to depart from the cult of individuality centered on the Polish pope that’s been practiced by the Polish clergy. “It is an extremely well-documented history of the cover-up of pedophilia in the church in which John Paul II was actively involved since 1985,” he said of the report. Obirek said that Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz, who served as papal secretary to John Paul, was the main architect of the alliance between the church and Poland’s ruling Law and Justice party. He claims that Dziwisz has an authoritarian side that is sympathetic to the government and has been instrumental in undermining democracy.null In a statement on behalf of the Polish bishops, Archbishop Stanislaw Gadecki defended the papacy of John Paul II, and praised the pope’s role in hastening the collapse of communism and preserving the nation’s faith and values. Some 1,500 Polish academics last week signed a statement saying that, while Pope John Paul showed poor judgment in ignoring the reported sexual abuse, this did not make him guilty. Fr. John Pawlikowski, a retired social ethics professor at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, denounced this downplaying of John Paul’s lack of action against McCarrick. “This was a major failing by Pope John Paul II, and it had significant impact on the credibility of the church and raised questions about the whole operation of the Vatican,” Pawlikowski said.

The South Yorkshire Schools' Games Championships were held at Abbeydale Sports Centre in Sheffield. We qualified for three events after winning the Doncaster events: Year 5/6 netball, Year 3/4 tennis and Year 3-6 tri-golf. The children behaved impeccably and were a pleasure to take out of school. They represented our school extremely well. Unfortunately, the netball team lost all their three games. The tennis team finished 7th in South Yorkshire . The tri-golf team smashed their competition by accumulating 1101 points, winning by 300 points. Well done to all involved in making these tournaments happen.
Eisenhuttenstadter FC Stahl was a German association football team, based in Eisenhuttenstadt, Brandenburg. History Stahl was as a second division side in East Germany's DDR-Liga. After German reunification in 1990, the side changed to its current name. They appeared in the last FDGB-Pokal final in 1991, losing to Hansa Rostock. This qualified for them for the following year's Cup Winner's Cup. They were eliminated in the first round by Galatasaray. After German reunification, they joined the NOFV-Oberliga Nord, which was the 3rd tier in Germany. The club joined the Regionalliga Nordost in 1994 and would play in that league until the league disbanded. In 2015, Stahl was part of a merger, which created FC Eisenhuttenstadt and folded one year later.

If everyday trials are getting you down, look no further than the bright happy face of Mia Grace to help get some perspective. She proves that courage and inspiration comes at any age. We were so honored to work with the Make A Wish Foundation (Hawaii Chapter) to make the Baroukh’s Maui Family Portraits a reality. After battling brain cancer, this family has every reason to celebrate Mia Grace’s remission. She is a spectacular little girl that, when asked what she wanted, said her wish was for a picnic on the beach where her parents were married years ago. If that’s not the sweetest thing, I don’t know what is. The selfless volunteers from Make A Wish Hawaii set up the adorable picnic on this special beach and arranged for the portrait session to help commemorate their day. We love seeing the Baroukh Family’s beaming smiles as they do nothing more than enjoy quality time together. That’s what life is all about. Bernadette, Nader, and of course Mia Grace, thank you so much for letting

Gladstone is a small town in South Australia about 200 km north of Adelaide. In 2006 the population was 629. It is in the middle of a farming area that grows wheat and raises sheep, but Gladstone is important because it has lots of very big buildings to store wheat, barley, durum wheat, peas, faba beans and fiesta beans. All together, these buildings store the biggest amount of grains in the Southern Hemisphere in a place not by the sea. Railways The railways are important to Gladstone so the grains can be moved to the sea and put on ships. The nearest place where this happens is Port Pirie. The railways are also important to move the grains to the big cities in Australia. Gladstone is on the biggest railway line in Australia that goes between Sydney in the east and Perth in the west. Railway lines also go south to Adelaide, and north to other small towns. Now, all of the railway lines are 4 ft 8 1/2 in (1,435 mm) apart. This is called standard gauge. Before 1970, the railway lines going north were 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) apart (narrow gauge), and the railway lines going south were 5 ft 3 in (1,600 mm) apart (broad gauge). All three "gauges" joined together in Gladstone. Look at the photo to see this. This is very rare. Before 1970, there were only three places in the whole world where this happened.

ESCRs Rreport by the Association for Progressive Communications and Derechos Digitales prepared for the 66th Pre-Sessional Working Group meeting of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights for Chile’s Compliance with the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. A damning new report from the United Nations Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, Philip Alston, raises alarm about the rise of the digital welfare state, which uses data and technologies to automate, predict, identify, surveil, detect, target and punish the poor. Among the recommendations made to Cameroon, the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights urged the government to improve affordable access to the internet and ensure that any measures seeking to limit internet access comply with international human rights law. Ahead of Cameroon’s review by the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, APC, Access Now and Internet Sans Frontières submitted a joint shadow report encouraging the Committee to consider the relationship between meaningful access to the internet and enjoyment of these rights. This report focuses on the relationship between meaningful access to the internet and the enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights in Cameroon, and in particular, the violation of these rights that come with internet shutdowns. With its appearance at the Committee, South Africa has recognised the essential role of access to the internet as an enabler of rights. It is critical for the government to continue to engage with civil society and other stakeholders to advance rights-based approaches to internet access. This report focuses primarily on access to the internet in South Africa and the extent to which the Government of South Africa is ensuring that people are able to benefit from the potential of the internet as an enabler of economic, social and cultural rights. The purpose of this review was to look back over the past decade of country reports published in Global Information Society Watch (GISWatch) and attempt to identify trends in civil society perspectives on what needed to be done to create a people- centred information society.... Through a feminist lens that brings together economic justice and gender justice concerns, this paper traces the key elements of the right to access, right to knowledge and right to development in the network society, and chalks out strategic directions for feminist advocacy in relation to ICTs.

An election was held on November 3, 2020 to elect a Senator from the U.S. state of Arkansas. The main people in the election were Tom Cotton (Republican Party) and Ricky Dale Harrington Jr. (Libertarian Party). This election was strange because there was no person from the Democratic Party in the election. This was because the only person in their primary election, Josh Mahony, withdrew and it was too late for anyone else to be in the primary. Only Cotton was in the Republican Party's primary election.

Costa Rica is worldwide known by its rich biodiversity. A country full of birds, plants, reptiles, frogs and……. moths! The tropics are home to a vast diversity of this interesting group that is barely known by science. Taking this into consideration, we decided to create a big event for the National Moth Week. The activity took place at Las Arrieras Nature Reserve, in the Caribbean lowlands of the country, being one of the most diverse regions of Costa Rica! The Reserve protects more than 60 acres of tropical rainforest, rivers, swamps and it also have small patches of disturbed habitat that are in process of reforestation. The variety of habitats enables a lot of niches that moths occupy, resulting in a massive diversity of species! The event was held on July 27-28. Luck was on our side, as we had perfect climate conditions, despite this being a very rainy place (it is a Rainforest after all). Twelve people participated in the moth-watching event, anxious to learn about these mysterious creatures. We had three different setups for the moths to be attracted to light (blacklight and fluorescent bulbs were used). Turning on our lights at 18:00, the activity of moths started to warm as the night advanced. The firsts species came from the Crambidae and Pyralidae families, followed by other groups like Notodontidae, Geometridae and Arctiinae appearing later on. People were especially attracted to the diversity in forms and colors of geometers and tiger moths, but what really caught all of our attention was the enormous Automeris belti with its striking eyelike patterns in the hindwings! Automeris belti (Saturniidae) Leuciris institata (Geometridae) Pentobesa xylinoides (Notodontidae) But we not only saw moths, we had nightwalks in the inside of the forest, where we found more insects and frogs! We played a Bingo with the species of moths that were appearing at the traps and games regarding the tropical nature of our country! In the traps we also had the presence of other insects such as praying mantis, giant cockroaches, dobsonflies, beetles, a couple of mantidflies and even a Bullet Ant (the insect responsible of one the most painful stings in the world!). By the end of the night, everyone was completely satisfied because of the high diversity of moths that we saw and the time spent meeting people that are also interested in this amazing group of insects! Las Arrieras Nature Reserve showed us more than 120 species of macromoths in only 6 hours! The tropics are incredible and we only can imagine the infinite mysteries that this group is hiding! Dariel Sanabria, that is so fantastic, I am so happy you participated this year in NMW…So many Moths and other insects…I love them all…Thank you to Liti also for this blog.

The Ocicat is a breed of cat. It looks like a wild cat but has no wild DNA in its gene pool. The Ocicat is spotted like a wild cat but is tame and has the behavior of a domestic animal. It got its name because it looks like an ocelot. The breed started accidentally by mating Siameses and Abyssinians. Later, American Shorthairs (silver tabby cats) were added to the mix. This gave the breed their silver color, bone structure and patterns. Now, the Ocicat is a popular breed all over the world. Appearance There are twelve fur coat colors accepted for the Ocicat breed: tawny, chocolate and cinnamon, blue, lavender and fawn. As well, all have a shade of silver: black silver (ebony silver), chocolate silver, cinnamon silver, blue silver, lavender silver and fawn silver. Ocicats have eyes shaped like almonds. They have large strong bodies, legs with dark markings, and oval shaped paws. The eyes are usually rimmed with dark fur. These cats have dark spots all over their fur that are darker than their background color. The Ocicat's large, muscled body gives them a look of power and strength. Behavior Most Ocicats are friendly and are not shy. This makes them good family pets. Most can also get along well with other animals. Their mood and actions are similar to those of a dog. Most can be trained to fetch toys, walk on a leash, come when called, and other dog-related tricks. Some even like the water. They are playful and like toys very much. So these pets need attention from their owners. History The first breeder of Ocicats was Virginia Daly, in Michigan, who tried to breed an Abyssinian-pointed Siamese in 1964. Her kittens looked like Abyssinians. But when they were later mated, there was not only an Abyssinian-pointed Siamese, but a spotted kitten,Tonga. The breeder's daughter, nicknamed Tonga an 'ocicat'. Tonga was sold as a pet, but his parent cats had more spotted kittens. This began the Ocicat breed. Other breeders then also did the same steps. They mated Siamese cats to Abyssinians, and then those cat descendents to Siameses to get Ocicat kittens. The Ocicat was accepted in The Cat Fanciers' Association and was first shown for championships in 1987.

By Matt Chaban - Reprinted from Crain's New York Business In a proposal to be formally unveiled Wednesday night, the Upper East Side school will unveil plans to build a two-story research building with a landscaped green roof and a conference center over the highway.Rockefeller University on the Upper East Side is preparing plans to grow, but with no space left on its campus, the school has come up with a tried and true solution: building new facilities on a deck the school would build over the FDR Highway. The university, which stretches from East 62nd to East 68th streets along York Avenue, will unveil plans Wednesday night to build two small buildings on a platform over the highway along the East River. There will be a two-story research building measuring 160,000 square feet with a landscaped green roof and a conference center. The platform will extend roughly from East 64th Street to East 68th Street. "The new building is critical to maintaining the university's excellent standards for research and teaching, by allowing for the recruitment of new faculty to replace those lost by attrition, and for the renewal of laboratory space that is outdated and poorly suited to modern science," said a spokesman in an email. He stressed that the small buildings would not impede views of or from Manhattan, nor would they expand the university's size "in terms of personnel or activities." This is thanks to an innovative design from local architect Rafael Viñoly, where the two-story building will actually be built into the platform, so that the roof is level with the rest of the campus. This will create a larger quad without taking up space on the expanded campus. Whether the older research buildings will be replaced or redeveloped is still being determined. This is the not the first time the university, established by John D. Rockefeller in 1901 to champion medical research, has expanded over the busy highway below. In 1987, a dormitory building opened atop a platform over the southbound lanes of the FDR between 62nd and 63rd streets. Five years later, a new research building was finished over both lanes of the highway at 64th Street. The new platform will extend from there all the way up to the northern edge of the campus. The university is not the only institution to take advantage of cantilevered real estate: both the United Nations to the south, and Weill Cornell Medical Center directly to the north overhang the highway. On terra firma, the university also has plans to convert a parking lot on the northwest corner of the campus, at East 68th Street and York Avenue, into a new athletic center, which will consolidate facilities from across campus. The project does not yet have a price tag or a firm timeline, though it will need zoning approvals before it can move forward. Wednesday night, the plans will be presented to the local community board's land-use committee, which will eventually vote on the project. The university already owns the air rights over the highway, so once it has the city's blessing, building should not be a problem. Hunter Armstrong, executive director Civitas, an Upper East Side advocacy group focused on open space issues in the neighborhood, said the idea was interesting, but it raised cause for concern over impacts on the adjacent East River Esplanade. “We’re trying to rescue the esplanade, which has long been neglected, so we have to be careful of the impacts of these cantilevers on our park,” Mr. Armstrong said. The Rockefeller spokesman noted that it would be proposing improvements to the esplanade along the length of the campus as public benefit from the expansion, though it would require city support and planning to do so. One dream of Mr. Armstrong’s, that the university would open up its 14-acre campus to the public—a space that will grow larger with the new platform—remains unlikely. “The nature of some of the work we do here, it’s not appropriate to the public coming onto the campus,” the spokesman said. Mr. Armstrong feared the expansion could set a dangerous precedent, or accelerate one already under way. “I don’t want to see these cantilevered buildings becoming a model for all future development on the east side of the East Side,” he said. “They’re quite uninviting spaces and they can become echo chambers.” View the original article at Crain's New York Business. and "Space-Starved East Side University Wants To Expand Over FDR" on Curbed NY.

The Real McCain? Profane, independent, cranky? Or just another mask for another political audience -- a mirrored room full of worldly high rollers? Jason Horowitz writes in the New York Observer: For [some of the city’s wealthiest and most influential political donors:]cCain’s private pitch, in many ways, was the more important one to his current mission—and the more telling about what he is trying to accomplish. [ . . . ] Mr. McCcCain] is once again presenting himself, as he did during his first Presidential run, as the straight-talking political independent who stands for principles that transcend traditional notions of left and right. [ . . . ] “Among the conservative Democrats who are not supporting Hillary Clinton in New York, John appears to be the one that they like. The liberal Republicans seem to be doing the same thing,” said [Georgette] Mosbacher, a past supporter of Mr. McCain who was invited to Friday’s breakfast but did not attend. McCain probably has less of a chance of reconciling Sunnis and Shiites by telling them to "stop the bullshit." Cross-posted at Donklephant "McCain was, of course, in New York City not only to give commencement speeches and get heckled" Jean Rohe’s speech at the New School, Which she admittedly described as a pre-emptive attack, was somewhat disturbing. I didn't find it disturbing because she spoke her mind... or that she engendered the philosophy of the liberal left and garnered much praise form that constituency .... but rather her lack of understanding ... her lack of recognition of McCain's true sacrifice ... and the embodiment of that sacrifice as a primary reason for ability to have the pulpit of dissent. Comparitively, McCain survived (5) years of captivity, refused an early release to stay with fellow POW's and went on to a lifetime of public service. A hero! Jean Rohe "survived" four years of college and learned how to "cherry pick" the advance copy of McCain's speech. A hero? That aside, McCain has been in ploitics for so long that he is aware that he could win .... or lose. The key difference is that he is suiting up and running onto the field, while many of his detractors are "shouting from the stands". College grads can be forgiven ... for their education has just begun. My opinion is expressed in your opening ...he is profane, independent, and cranky ... good attributes at this particular time.

COMMERCE - Six months after a tornado ripped through a tight-knit neighborhood just north of downtown Commerce, some of its residents still are working to put their lives and homes back together. Volunteers from the United Methodist Church's disaster relief ministry and Warren Chapel United Methodist Church in Commerce have helped residents along Pine Avenue, Cedar Street and in Ashworth Mobile Home Park rebuild more than half of the 20 or so homes damaged in the Aug. 26 storm. There's still a lot of work left to be done, said construction supervisor Tommy Rainey. But after spending more than $30,000, using almost all of the supplies donated to them and expending the labor of at least 100 different volunteers, the church's team is running short on both money and manpower. Back in August, the short-lived storm struck quickly and only affected about 10 blocks of the city. People outside of the neighborhood may not have known about the full extent of the damage, said Barbara Pattman, a Warren Chapel member who coordinated the construction project. The twister lasted only minutes, but ripped roofs off houses, sent trees crashing through living rooms and bedrooms, and generally caused havoc in the area. "I don't think I've ever seen anything this bad," said Steve Anderson, a longtime Commerce resident who attends Warren Chapel and volunteered to help repair the damage. Like many of the well-established residents in the neighborhood, Joyce Horne owns her home on Pine Avenue. She didn't have homeowner's insurance when the storm ripped away large swaths of shingles that day, and she didn't realize how much damage the storm had done until it started to rain. "I woke up and thought that it was just raining outside really hard, but when I walked out of my bedroom, it was just a mess," Horne said. "It looked like there was more rain in here than out there." Water was streaming into her living and dining rooms. Before she could fix the leaks, the water had allowed mold to spread across her walls and floors - which meant she, her daughter and her grandson, who suffers from asthma, had to stay with relatives. "I'm just ready for things to get back to normal," Horne said Saturday as she and her daughter helped a group of volunteers to sand down drywall in preparation to paint. "Some people might be able to live like this, but I need to get back to my routine." During the first few months after the storm, dozens of volunteers from across Georgia would show up on any given Saturday, Pattman said. Helpers from Lawrenceville, Athens, Braselton and elsewhere cleared away debris, put on new roofs, replaced ruined floors and walls, and insulated attics. "It really has been amazing how many volunteers have showed up and everything that Tommy (Rainey) has been able to get done," Pattman said. "We are really blessed that everyone came together to help these people rebuild their homes." But now, with many of the repairs nearing completion, volunteers aren't as excited about the effort, Rainey said. A thousand little things remain to be done at some of the homes, and two houses still need roofs and interior repairs, he said. "I'll take yokels," said Rainey, who's been a contractor for more than 15 years and spent two years on the Gulf Coast rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina. "I'll take whoever. We'll teach you if you'll come and help." He'll also take donations of cash or building supplies to help get the projects wrapped up, he said. Those interested in helping can contact Pattman at Warren Chapel United Methodist Church at (706) 335-5290.
An interchange a place where two freeways meet, or where a freeway and another road meet. An interchange has two levels so traffic going through does not meet. Different levels are connected by ramps. There are many different types of freeway interchanges. The two most common types of freeway interchanges are the diamond interchange and the cloverleaf interchange: A diamond interchange has four ramps that enter and leave the freeway at a small angle and meet the non-freeway at almost right angles. These ramps at the non-freeway can be controlled through stop signs or traffic signals. The name comes from the diamond-like shape. A cloverleaf interchange has eight ramps that handle all traffic without stop signs or traffic lights. To turn left, traffic goes in a 270deg turn. The name comes from the four-leaf clover-like shape. Roads Bridge types

Lymphoma by Anita R. Weidinger, D.V.M. Lymphoma, also known as Lymphosarcoma, is a malignant cancer that is affecting our canine companions. This type of cancer involves the lymph system including the lymph nodes and sometimes the liver and spleen. Middle aged to older dogs of either sex are potential victims of this disease. Lymphoma in cats can be related to the feline leukemia virus but there isn't any conclusive evidence that a viral cause exists for the dog. A possible genetic predisposition may exist though that could explain why this cancer is seen more in particular breeds. A very scary story is unfolding at the clinic where I work. We have seen at least four young Rottweilers with Lymphosarcoma that were only three to four years old! The Golden Retriever is a breed that is afflicted often but it doesn't appear to be in the top four or five most commonly affected breeds. Cancer in any form is an unregulated growth of cells. Something causes the individual cells to divide the wrong way creating an abnormal growth which takes over the normal tissue disrupting the function of the tissues and organs. When the normal functions can't continue, the animal becomes sick and the body's ability to perform required tasks rapidly declines. Lymphoma can present itself in several different ways involving different areas of the lymph system. The most common form in the dog is multicentric (several sites in the body). The peripheral (around the outside of the body) lymph nodes are affected in this form. These lymph nodes are usually difficult to feel under the skin but when affected by Lymphoma these lymph nodes are enlarged and are easy to notice. Owners can usually feel enlarged lymph nodes below the angle of the jaw, in front of the shoulder blades, behind the knees, and under both the front and back legs where they join the body. The enlarged lymph nodes at the jaw can make the dog's face become swollen and this can be the first abnormal sign noticed. Sometimes these lymph nodes are not easy to feel and the first thing owners detect is a lack of energy in the dog along with a decreased appetite, possible weight loss, increased thirst and increased urination. This multicentric form can eventually involve the liver and spleen in the abdomen. Other types of Lymphoma include alimentary, mediastinal, cutaneous and extranodal. During alimentary Lymphoma, which involves the stomach and the intestines, the dog will usually experience vomiting and diarrhea, weight loss and lethargy. Mediastinal Lymphoma causes a growth of cancer in the front part of the chest leading to fluid in the chest and difficulty breathing. Cutaneous Lymphoma affects the skin and is uncommon. Extranodal Lymphoma is a combination of other potential sites in the body that can be affected with this form of cancer. These include the eyes, the central nervous system (the brain and the spinal cord), bones, heart, kidneys, bladder and the nasal cavity. Any type of cancer carries with it a grave prognosis. Lymphoma can be treated with chemotherapy and is probably the most commonly treated cancer in dogs because the chemotherapy protocols are well established and the chances of a good response to the chemotherapy are favorable. The dreaded statistics are that an untreated dog will most likely die from its disease within four to six weeks. With a combination chemotherapy there is an eighty-four percent chance of remission (making the cancer seem to disappear for a period of time) and the average survival time of the dog when treated is 357 days. The average duration of remission is 252 days. If the patient comes out of remission, a second remission can be induced, but is usually only one-half the length of the first remission. The bottom line is that a dog can be treated with this form of cancer but it can be costly. A large number of treated dogs do very well with treatment and can live a relatively normal life for close to another year. We do have to remember that one year in a dog's life is like six to seven years in ours. If you notice enlarged lymph nodes on your dog, it needs to be seen by your Veterinarian as soon as possible. Infections caused by ticks are another potential cause of enlarged lymph nodes. To diagnose Lymphoma, and to differentiate it from other causes of large lymph nodes, your dog will most likely need bloodwork, x-rays, and a biopsy of the affected lymph tissues.

The Attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise attack by the Empire of Japan against the neutral United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. This attack, on the morning of December 7, 1941, led the United States into World War II. The Japanese military leadership referred to the attack as the Hawaii Operation, Operation AI, and as Operation Z. The Japan wanted time to invade Southeast Asia. Over the course of seven hours several places were attacked. The places governed by the US were Philippines campaign (1941-1942), Guam, and Wake Island. The places in the British Empire attacked were Singapore, Hong Kong and, later, Malaya. The Plan Was Predicted In Some Detail Although the attack was a successful surprise, it should have been expected. It was predicted in detail. The prediction was in the form of a book originally published in 1925. This was The Great Pacific War: a history of the AmericanJapanese campaign of 1931. The author was Hector C. Bywater (18841940), a journalist whose speciality was naval warfare. The whole story is told in the more recent book Visions of Infamy by William C. Honan. And what is more, Bywater's book was translated into Japanese, so we know for certain that it was available to any and all concerned with planning the future of Japanese sea power. One thing changed from Bywater's book: the U.S. fleet moved its Pacific base from the Philippines to Pearl Harbor. Of course this was known by Japan. When the Japanese got to the Philippines they landed on exactly the place predicted by Bywater except, of course, they had already bombed Pearl Harbor. The Attack The attack started at 7:48 a.m. Hawaiian Time (18:18 GMT). The base was attacked by 353 Japanese aircraft. These planes included fighters, level and dive bombers, and torpedo bombers. The planes attacked in two waves. The planes were launched from six aircraft carriers. All eight US battleships were damaged. All but were later raised. Six were returned to service and went on to fight in the war. Being old, they served for shore bombardment. The Japanese also sank or damaged three cruisers, three destroyers, an anti-aircraft training ship, and one minelayer. A total of 188 U.S. aircraft were destroyed. 2,403 Americans were killed and 1,178 others were wounded. Important base installations were not attacked. These facilities included the power station, dry dock, shipyard, maintenance facilities, fuel and torpedo storage facilities, submarine piers, and the headquarters building. Japan did not lose many people. Japan lost 29 aircraft and five midget submarines. 64 Japanese soldiers died. Kazuo Sakamaki, who was in charge of one of the submarines, was captured. He was the first Japanese soldier taken prisoner by the United States. Japan declared war on the United States and the British Empire the same day. Due to an error, the British and Americans did not know until the next day. The British government declared war on Japan immediately after being attacked. On December 8th, the United States Congress declared war on Japan. On December 11, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States. The U.S. which responded with a 1941 declaration of war upon Germany and a declaration of war upon Italy. President Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed December 7, 1941, "a date which will live in infamy". Attacking without declaring war is against the laws of war. As a result, the attack on Pearl Harbor was later judged in the Tokyo Trials to be a war crime. Background to Conflict Diplomatic Background Japan and the US knew they might go to war. They had been planning for war since the 1920's. Japan was concerned about the new American control of Hawaii and the Philippines. Japan thought those territories were within their sphere of influence. Japan had taken a heated stance when the United States opposed the Racial Equality Proposal to amend the Treaty of Versailles. Despite this, the two nations were still friendly and traded. Tensions seriously grew with Japan's invasion of Manchuria in 1931. Over the next decade, Japan expanded into China. This led to the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937. Japan spent great effort trying to isolate China. They also tried to gain independent resources to attain victory on the mainland. The "Southern Operation" was designed to assist these efforts by conquering Southeast Asia. Starting in December 1937, events such as the Japanese attack on USS Panay, the Allison incident, and the Nanking Massacre made Western citizens dislike Japan.. The U.S. unsuccessfully proposed a joint action with the British to blockade Japan. In 1938, U.S. companies stopped providing Japan with implements of war. This was due to an appeal by President Roosevelt. In 1940, Japan invaded French Indochina, They did this to try and stop the flow of supplies reaching China. The United States halted shipments of airplanes, parts, machine tools, and aviation gasoline to Japan. Japan saw this as an unfriendly act. The United States did not stop oil exports. This was because Japan was dependent on US oil. Removing the oil would cause hostile relations. In mid-1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved the Pacific Fleet from San Diego to Hawaii. He also ordered a military buildup in the Philippines. He hoped that taking both actions would stop Japanese aggression in the Far East. The Japanese thought attacking the United Kingdom would mean they had to attack the United States. Japan then decided they would have to launch a massive attack on the US. An invasion of the Philippines was also considered necessary by Japanese war planners. The U.S. War Plan Orange called for defending the Philippines with an elite force of 40,000 men. This option was never done because Douglas MacArthur didn't like it. He thought he would need a force ten times that size. By 1941, U.S. planners expected to abandon the Philippines at the outbreak of war. Late that year, Admiral Thomas C. Hart, commander of the Asiatic Fleet, was given orders to that effect. The U.S. finally ceased oil exports to Japan in July 1941. This was done following the seizure of French Indochina after the Fall of France. It was also in part because of new American restrictions on domestic oil consumption. Because of this decision Japan decided to take the oil-rich Dutch East Indies. On August 17, Roosevelt warned Japan that America was preparing to stop Japan if needed. The Japanese were faced with a dilemma. They either either had to leave China or seize new sources of raw materials in the resource-rich European colonies of Southeast Asia. Japan and the U.S. engaged in negotiations during 1941. They were attempting to improve relations. Japan offered to withdraw from most of China and Indochina. They also offered to peace with the Nationalist government. Japan also offered to have a new neutral reading of the Tripartite Pact. They also agreed to stop trade discrimination. They promised to do these things if other nations did it as well. The U.S. government didn't accept these terms. Japanese Prime Minister Konoye offered to meet with Roosevelt. Roosevelt didn't want to meet before having an agreement. The U.S. ambassador to Japan told Roosevelt he should meet with Konoye. He was worried that if he didn't it might lead to war. However, Roosevelt did not follow this recommendation. Konoye stopped being the Japanese prime minister the next month. He stopped because the Japanese military rejected the demand to leave China. Japan's final proposal was delivered on November 20th. In it, they offered to leave southern Indochina. They also offered to not attack Southeast Asia. In exchange, they asked for one million U.S. gallons (3.8 million liters) of airplane fuel. They also asked for the sanctions to be lifted. Finally, they asked the allies to stop aiding China. America responded with their own proposal on November 26th. The Hull note required Japan to leave China. It also required them to promise not to attack other powers in the pacific. On November 26th in Japan the task force left for Pearl Harbor. This was the day before the Hull note was sent to Japan. The Japanese wanted to attack the U.S. to prevent a larger war. Their goal was to destroy the U.S. navy so they could take over Southeast Asia. They wanted to take over the Pacific territories of the Allied nations. Over the course of seven hours multiple places were attacked. The places owned by the US attacked were Philippines, Guam, and Wake Island. The places owned by the British Empire attacked were Malaya, Singapore, and Hong Kong. The Japanese also saw the situation as being a time issue. They were worried about getting an attack in on the U.S. before they ran out of fuel to do so. Military Planning Planning for an attack on Pearl Harbor had been planned since early 1941. Isoroku Yamamoto came up with the plan in order to protect Japan's attack on Southern Asia. He got permission to plan and train for an attack. To do so, he had to argue with the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff. He only got permission because he threatened to quit his job. Full-scale planning started in Spring 1941. The planning was under the guidance of Rear Admiral Ryunosuke Kusaka, with assistance from Captain Minoru Genda. The planners looked to the 1940 British air attack on the Italian fleet at Taranto for help. This was because the British had successfully attacked ships in port there. Over the next several months, things progressed as planned. However, Emperor Hirohito did not approve the attack plan until November 5. This is because he wanted to discuss the matter over a set of Imperial Conferences. Final approval was not given until December 1st. This was because a majority of Japanese leaders warned the emperor about the "Hull Note. They said it would, "destroy the fruits of the China incident, endanger Manchukuo and undermine Japanese control of Korea". By late 1941, many people thought war between the U.S. and Japan would come soon. A Gallup poll just before the attack on Pearl Harbor found that 52% of Americans expected war with Japan, 27% did not, and 21% had no opinion. Many U.S. bases in the pacific were put on alert in this period. However, U.S. leaders doubted that Pearl Harbor would be attacked. They expected Japan to attack the Philippines. This was because the Philippines were in a important position in the Pacific. The islands had many air bases and a large naval port. These would threaten Japanese shipping in Southern Asia. They also incorrectly thought Japan wasn't capable of multiple attacks at once. Objectives Ships Lost or Damaged Twenty-one ships were damaged or lost in the attack. All of the ships except three were raised after the attack. Battleships (Rear Admiral Isaac C. Kidd's flagship of Battleship Division One): hit by four armor-piercing bombs and exploded. 1,177 people were killed.

(harbor tug): Sunk by explosions and fire from Shaw. Returned to service August 1942. (yard floating dock): Was sunk by bombs. Returned to service January 25, 1942. After the Attack The next day, United States president Franklin D. Roosevelt gave a speech to Congress. In his speech, President Roosevelt said that December 7 was "a date which will live in infamy". Most Americans listened to the speech on the radio. A few minutes after the speech ended, Congress voted to declare war on Japan. Only one member of Congress, Jeanette Rankin, voted "no". Three days later, Germany and Italy also declared war on the United States. Rumors started blaming Italian, German, and Japanese Americans for knowing about the attacks ahead of time and even helping. Many American citizens became afraid of Italian, German and Japanese Americans because Germany and Italy were allied to Japan. As a result, 110,000 Japanese Americans 31,000 German Americans and 3,000 Italian Americans were sent to internment camps starting in 1942. The government made the father of a famous baseball player, Joe di Maggio, move from the West coast because he was an Italian immigrant. Some Italian, German and Japanese Americans were interned as late as 1944. The government apologized for this to the Japanese Americans in 1988. German Americans and Italian Americans have never received an formal apology from the governmant. After the war happened, Japanese leaders who ordered the attack were tried for a war crime, Hideki Tojo, the prime minister of japan was convicted of war crimes at an international military tribunal in 1948, including waging wars of aggression and ordering inhumane treatment of prisoners of war. He was sentenced to death that November and executed by hanging the following month Reason Behind the attack is a reason, and that reason is the shortage of raw materials in Japan (and similar island chains such as Hawaii). In such island chains there is a shortage of raw materials, particularly those of metals and coal. The shortage of metals is due to the island chains (such as Hawaii, Japan, Galapagos etc.) having a volcanic origin, rather than coming from an ancient craton. The United Kingdom, small as it is, has its origin in two ancient cratons which became part part of a much larger continent. Almost all the elements produced in stars are present in the UK in some amount, however small. Iron is there in plenty and many rare metals can be found. Japan, on the other hand, is a typical island chain produced by comparatively recent volcanic action. It suffers from a shortage of rare elements. It is short of some minerals which are not rare: such as iron and coal. The lands it conquered have all the resources which Japan needed (and always will need). One example: Japan lacks iron. This is why traditional Japan makes such use of bamboo as a building material. But Western Australia has mountains virtually made of iron. This is where modern Japan gets most of its iron for making steel. Related Pages List of attacks on U.S. territory History of Japan World War II History of the United States Notes

It does not matter how you came to be in possession of your jewelry collection, this subject is not one that is always clearly explained. Where do you begin to look for information on this praiseworthy human tradition? This article outlines many useful hints you can use to be more educated about jewelry. Take care to store your jewelry safely. Use a box that has several different compartments and hooks to keep your pieces apart. Don’t throw piles into a box. Not only can this harm the fine and fragile pieces, but things like necklaces can get severely tangled up with other necklaces or other jewelry. Jewelry should last a life-time. To ensure you are buying a quality piece, refuse to deal with anybody but the most reputable of jewelers. Jewelry should display exemplary craftsmanship and be well-made. The jeweler should tell you about who made the piece and the origin of the stones. Take your time when selecting a high-quality piece if you want it to last you for a long time. Keep your jewelry from getting tarnished to preserve its best appearance. Exposure to water can affect the finish, so avoid it. Many types of metal will become dulled, tarnished, or rusty when exposed to it. Clear nail polish, applied in a thin coat, can give jewelry some added protection. When collecting costume jewelry, pay close attention to the condition of any piece you are considering. Costume jewelry make good investments and they can be costly, but an item that shows major signs of usage will be a poor investment of your time and money. An item in good condition holds its value better in the long run. Before you purchase gemstone jewelry, you should first determine if and how the stone was treated. Care for your gemstone is different, depending on how it was previously treated. You do not want to try to clean a treated gem with a solution that may strip the treatment and damage the gem in the process. Learn how to unravel a knotted necklace, even one with delicate loops. It is tempting to throw in the towel against knotted metal, but plastic wrap should be reached for instead. Put the necklace on the plastic wrap and add a little mineral oil or baby oil. Use a sewing needle to untangle the necklace. Wash with dish soap and pat dry. When selling a piece of jewelry online, you should aim to present the piece in an attractive manner. An online buyer doesn’t get the opportunity to handle the jewelry, so photos of the piece have to speak for themselves. Take professional-looking pictures of your pieces and let people know you can send more pictures upon request. A diamond’s cut and clarity are often times more important than how big it is. It’s also important to consider the personality of whomever is to receive the diamond. Avoid steam saunas and dry ones. The high heat and humidity in these areas can significantly damage your jewelry. Jewelry sets can make a great present if you are looking for a creative gift for someone. It is often possible to get a good deal on jewelry sets at a jewelry store. You can even divide the pieces and give them to multiple recipients or on multiple occasions. This practice will ensure that you have appealing gifts planned out for a long time in the future. You can probably tell that there are many different ways you can approach jewelry. If you research your purchases properly, you can know that the jewelry you buy will last a lifetime. The jewelry world is rewarding and exciting, so join in the hunt! These tips should prove useful for your journey.

or "divine messengers," are animals in Japanese mythology that are believed to be associated with a kami, a divine being. These animals are also known as kami no tsukai or tsukawashime. In ancient texts such as Kojiki and Nihongi, there are tales of special animals that acted on behalf of the kami to transmit the divine will or to bear oracles. As time passed, people started to connect certain animals with specific shrines. It became a custom to take care of these animals when they were found within the area of the shrine. Normally, each kami had only one animal familiar, but sometimes, there were some exceptions where a kami had more than one. Even some of the "Seven Lucky Gods" like Daikokuten (a mouse) and Benzaiten (a snake) had animal familiars. In later years, the kami's animal familiar became a common symbol of the kami itself. For instance, the fox at Inari shrines was worshipped as a manifestation of the kami. These creatures were thought to be extraordinary spiritual beings, and this perception, combined with their relationship with the specific kami, likely gave rise to this phenomenon. It is believed to have originated from shamanism, where animals aided shamans in traveling to the spirit world. Certain animals are associated with particular spirits, such as foxes with Inari and deer with Kasuga. In the past, tribal communities considered their shaman's animal helper as an ancestor, and this may have influenced the connection between animals and spirits in Shinto. For example, the Kamo tribe believed that the was their ancestor. At Ise Jingu, roosters roam around and are believed to be the assistants of the sun goddess, Amaterasu. They wake her up every morning, according to folklore. Some experts believe that the rooster may be the bird depicted on the torii, a gate that marks the entrance to a shrine. Inari Okami's fox messengers are often identified directly with her Rice food sake and other offerings are given to them for her History In a book called Fuso Sakki, which was written in the middle of the Heian period in Japan, it is mentioned that a person who killed a white fox (known as shiratoume) near the Ise Shrine was exiled to that area. This suggests that there was a belief in spiritual foxes in ancient Japan..' The "Chujin Harai-kun," a book written in the 12th century, states that the kami's messenger is second only to the eight great kami and is subordinate to the 100,000 kami. Moreover, "Kitakami Yuki-fu," an essay written in the early 19th century, explains that a ritual called hanasui-iwai is held every year on January 15th. During this ritual, every new household is given a Shinshi. Examples See also Gingitsune Gallery

Environmental Ventilation Allowing air to move throughout a building can create a more comfortable living and working environment promoting a healthy building concept. - Natural ventilation - Powered Ventilation - Passive ventilation - Door/Window Chain Actuators - Control Systems ADS have developed a natural ventilation unit that comprises of an external weather louvre, internal damper in aluminium / uPVC and an internal cover grille. This unit also has the flexibility to include insulation, heating coils, acoustic silencers and fan boosters. Please find below examples of natural ventilation equipment that ADS generally supply and install. Wall Nat Vent Unit Comprising of an external weather louvre, an internal insulated damper and an internal cover grille all housed within a uPVC sleeve. The external weather louvre can be glazed into a glazing system or fixed direct into a wall and comes complete with an extruded aluminium frame, single banked blades set at 75 / 50mm pitch, bird / insect mesh to the rear and polyester powder coated to a standard RAL colour. The internal uPVC damper has insulated blades, a high thermal performance, little thermal conductivity (i.e. no cold bridging) and a modulated motor. The internal cover grille comes complete with a flanged frame for direct fixing into the sleeve or into an internal opening into the plasterboard. Roof Mounted Louvre Turret Our ventilation terminals are roof-mounted units, which combine high airflow capacity with low airflow resistance. They can be supplied with an optional integral boost fans. These units generally fix to curb up-stands, however can also fix direct to the roof system. The system comprises of extruded aluminium louvres (to suit the application), insect screening behind all louvres, insulated lid section and the texture and standard RAL colour to match roof covering. We also provide a fully lined / insulated sleeve, optional splitter plate, access panels, modulating insulated damper and optional cover grilles to suit the internal appearance (egg crate grilles / linear bar grilles/ multi directional diffusers, performated plates etc.) Roof-light / Atria Upstands Similar to our Wall Nat Vent unit; ADS can offer a unit that comprises of an external weather louvre, an insulated aluminium / uPVC damper and an internal cover grille. We can also offer the aluminium insulated damper as a finished external unit with a high free area louvre internally for screening of the ventilator. This option saves the requirement for either the cover grille or the external weather louvre. This system must be linked to a rain sensor to close the ventilator upon detection of rain when being used for natural ventilation. Weathered Natural Ventilator with internal screening louvre External louvre with insulated damper and internal cover grille. ADS can offer the supply, installation and commissioning of the full system. We would generally run all cabling, containment, control panels, local switches, BMS interfaces and fully commission the system. Please note that quite often, the atria roof-lights form part of a smoke ventilation strategy, therefore these ventilators may need to operate for smoke ventilation purposes also. We would therefore need to integrate some of the smoke ventilation equipment as natural ventilators to meet the criteria set out in EN.12101. Please see our smoke ventilation page for some of the smoke ventilation equipment that we can also use for natural ventilation purposes. Please note that this is only a small range of the most commonly used Natural Ventilation Systems that ADS offer. We have many more systems from numerous leading manufacturers that we are able to offer to meet certain specifications. For further information on how we can be of assistance to you & your business please contact us.

Yesterday was "The Old Guys", (Cameron's Dad) 75th birthday! We had a little shin dig at the house here. It was nice. A lot of laughter and stories. More stories and yeah, some more stories. HA! One of his gifts was this AWESOME painting. Painted by a friend. Given to him by his daughter. That is Jake on his trusty steed Feathers. He has to be one of the hardest working men I know. This painting is so awesome. The writing on the wall is actual writing on a wall at the barn. That wall has so many memories written on it. Good and bad. And she captured it perfect. Even nailed everyone's handwriting down! Here is the photo and the writing on the wall. Happy Birthday Jake!!!!!! Thanks for stopping by. Happy 75th to Jake! I love, love, love that painting. You could do a photo a day of the barn wall...and I would love and study each one. Happy Birthday Jake!!! Super painting. Great idea of using the wall and good ole Feathers. Tell him we said Hello. M & B Oh Happy Birthday Jake. That is the best present anyone could ever receive it is truly beautiful. That wall is history. Hug B Wow! What a wonderful gift! I just love the history and the memories encapsulated in the painting. Our daughter is 29 today. How is THAT possible!? And, my niece is in labor right now, so Jill will have a birthday buddy.

OH, what a fabulous gift that had to be!!!! That is a great gift. Lots of special memories there. Happy birthday to your dad.
A corm is a modified plant stem some plants use as a storage organ or for hibernation. Corms are structurally plant stems, and can produce roots. On the top of the corm, one or a few buds grow into shoots that produce normal leaves and flowers. Some plants with corms regularly replace their older corms with a stack of younger ones. In other species their corms simply grow larger in most seasons. Yet others split when multiple buds or stolons on a large corm sprout independently. Corms can be dug up and used to multiply or redistribute the plant (see, for example, taro). Plants with corms generally can be propagated by cutting the corms into sections and replanting. Examples Plants that form corms include the following species: Alismataceae Sagittaria spp. (arrowhead or wapatoo) Araceae Alocasia macrorrhizos (giant taro) Amorphophallus paeoniifolius (elephant foot yam) Arisaema Colocasia esculenta (taro) Cyrtosperma merkusii (giant swarm taro) Xanthosoma (malanga, cocoyam, tannia, and other names) Asparagaceae Bessera Brodiaea Dichelostemma Milla Tecophilaea Asteraceae Liatris Colchicaceae Colchicum Cyperaceae Eleocharis dulcis (Chinese water chestnut) Iridaceae Crocosmia (Montbretia) Crocuses, Dierama Freesia Gladiolus Some species of irises Romulea Musaceae Bananas Ensete''
Radio host traces footsteps of civil rights movement Posted By: August 18, 2018 Suzanne McGonagle. Irish News.Belfast. Saturday, August 18, 2018 CO Tyrone radio host Lynette Fay has followed “in the footsteps” of those involved in Northern Ireland’s first civil rights march for a documentary to mark its 50th anniversary. Born in Dungannon a decade after the events of August 24, 1968, Ms. Fay looks back on the march and the actions which made history that day. In the Footsteps, to be broadcast tomorrow on BBC Radio Ulster, sees Ms. Fay speak to prominent civil rights campaigner Bernadette McAliskey as well as Mary Rafferty, who took part in the first civil rights marches. The presenter tells of how she had no idea that people she knew growing up – her brother’s primary school teacher and her next door neighbors – were among the organizers of the first march. Seen as a watershed moment in the recent history of the north, the march between Coalisland and Dungannon, saw teachers, students and politicians take part, all wanting. In the documentary, Ms. Fay revisits the issue of housing discrimination and the ground breaking protests of the young mothers of the Homeless Citizens League. She hears from Ms. McAliskey about how the march turned her into a life-long campaigner, as well as from those who took part in a counter-protest. Ms. Fay asks what spurred them to take to the streets in pursuit of civil rights, whether or not they achieved their aims – and at what cost. She also examines how Dungannon and Northern Ireland have changed 50 years on from that first civil rights march. “I feel that in order to know where you’re going, it’s important to know where you have come from,” said Ms. Fay. “It has been extremely interesting to spend time speaking to the contemporaries of the first civil rights march and to learn how and why this march took place, from the people who were directly involved 50 years ago.” n Stories In Sound: In The Footsteps is to be broadcast tomorrow on BBC Radio Ulster at 12.30pm.

As Hudson County braces for one of the worst storms to rock New Jersey in decades, three county mayors have asked residents in their towns to head for the hills. With Hurricane Irene expected to roar into town later today, Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer has asked all the residents in the Mile Square City to leave town. Even a glancing blow from Irene expected to touch down in New Jersey as a Category 1 storm packing 75 to 95 mph winds could flood 80 percent of the city, she said. Bayonne Mayor Mark Smith has asked residents there to leave low-lying areas, which the city has defined as the Alexan, the Boatworks, First Street, Second Street, and the area around Ahern Veterans Stadium at Park Road and the foot of West 25th Street. Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy has also urged residents in low-lying areas to move to higher ground. Healy plans to announce sometime today if the city will call for a full evacuation. Shelters have been set up across the county, and residents are being asked to prepare for the possibility they will lose electricity and other services. County residents have been told to stow outdoor items that could become projectiles in Irene’s whipping winds. The storm is expected to douse Hudson County with 6 to 12 inches of rain. Gov. Chris Christie has declared a state of emergency. Across Hudson County, the ranks of emergency responders have been beefed up for the weekend. Jersey City Police Chief Tom Comey wants all vehicular traffic in the city to cease by midnight tonight. He anticipates banning driving completely early tomorrow. “With the expected increase in calls due to storm-related incidents, we are concerned with our ability to respond to stranded motorists in a timely fashion, as stranded motorists will be properly prioritized,” Comey said. If traffic is banned, a notice will be posted on the city website. Jersey City has 10,000 sandbags and 44 tons of sand on hand, officials said. Residents can fill the bags themselves from 8 a.m. to noon today at the municipal parking lot at Montgomery and Orchard streets and the School 30 parking lot at Seaview and Gates avenues. The Jersey City Fire Department will have four boats in service this weekend. The Hudson County Office of Emergency Management is sending two rescue boats each to Hoboken, Jersey City, West Hudson municipalities, and North Hudson. The county is also making available 20 vehicles for cleanup activities, as well as 40 vans for transporting residents in emergencies, a county spokesman said. The Hudson County OEM had hoped to have its emergency radio station on the air in time for the storm, but it will not be ready. The county siren system will likely not be used either, officials said. North Bergen has two shelters set to open at 6 p.m., but officials stressed they don’t want residents driving there. Residents who cannot walk to a North Bergen shelter should call 911 or township police, officials said. The Hoboken Housing Authority, which has 52 buildings and 1,353 units, plans to use sandbags to prevent water from flowing into mechanical rooms. The HHA has checked backup generators and has pumps and hoses ready. There are also nonperishables and water in the different buildings for the residents, HHA Executive Director Carmelo Garcia said. The Bayonne Housing Authority, which has 50 buildings and 3,000 residents, has taken similar precautions. Journal staff writers Jean-Pierre Mestanza and Jessica Serrano contributed to this story.

Volume 31, Number 23 April 26,1989 Bethlehem, Pa. Football Report Rebuilding in spring; strong fall recruits By Megan Culhane South Mountaineer Editor It's hard to pass up the achievments of last year's football team—a top-rated offense in the country and two quarterbacks with cannon-like arms. But the biggest challenge is starting over, and you can expect a number of nice suprises as the Engineers head into spring ball with the intention of rebuilding that brilliant offense and cementing the rest of the team. Engineers building on 1988 "We're young and rebuilding in a lot of areas, but that doesn't necessarily mean we're inexperienced," head coach Hank Small said about this year's football team. "We're looking for starters in a number of areas and it's a good competitive situation." After a 6-5 season, the team's first in the black after three straight 5-6 attempts and a 5-5-1 year in 1987, the football team heads into one of its toughest schedules and another milestone year. Between christening its new Goodman Stadium with a 27-14 season opening victory over Cornell, savoring last minute glory (27-22) versus Towson State and displaying a brilliant air attack in a 52- 45 chilly loss to Lafayette in the final game that earned quarterback Jim Harris Sports Illustrated Player-of-the- Week honors, it was a brilliant year for a team that could have succumbed to a tough injury situation. Mark McGowan, the starting quarterback who was averaging over 200 yards per game and leading Lehigh to a berth as the No. 1 offense in Div. I-AA football, See REPORT page 2 Softball sweeps two In doubleheaders the team shut out Bucknell and beat Ursinus By Marc Gesualdo South Mountaineer While most of the student body was at home enjoying Pacing Break, the softball team was working overtime. Considering the results of their efforts, they probably didn"t mind in the least. The team swept doubleheaders from Ursinus, 11-3, 2-1, on Thursday (April 20) and Bucknell. 6-0, 1-0, on Saturday (April 22) to offset a 9-1. 3-2 doubleheader loss to Rider on Wednesday (April 19) in Lawrenceville. NJ. Head coach Tammy Danner credits a rejuvenated offense and better defensive play for 'We just have to get rid of some mental errors. This team has the potential to win a lot of games.' Tammy Danner Softball Head Coach the team's recent success. "Our flirting's coming around," Danner said. "The top half of the order is batting especially well and the bottom half is picking up now. Defensively, we've cut down on our errors considerably." Against Rider, the team's hitting was not all there and the pitching was even a bit shaky as they dropped both games by scores of 9-1 and 3-2. Yet the Lady Engineers bounced back on Thursday on their home field. In the first game against Ursinus. Lehigh exploded for 11 runs and pitcher Bernie Kozlowski spun an impressive two.-hitter as the team took an 11-3 decision. Kozlowski allowed just two earned runs en route to the victory. Shortstop Lisa Mignault lead the way offensively going three-for-four with an RBI and two runs scored. Patricia Tierney, Chari Young, and Jennifer Hilton drove in two runs apiece for the Lady Engineers. Lehigh got impressive pitching again in the second game as Ann Cavanaugh scattered five hits and the team won a narrow 2-1 decision. Third baseman Michelle Taub, the team's leading hitter, drove in both runs with a double and it was enough to support Cavanaugh's solid pitching. Danner said, "I am pleased to see that the pitching staff has overcome some injuries and they're pitching very well right now." Lehigh continued that trend against Bucknell at Robert Kaufman Field last Saturday as they came up with two impressive shutouts of the Lady Bison. In game one, pitcher Jennifer Frame See SOFTBALL page 3 Serving up an ace Jennifer Jacobson en route to another stellar year By Brian Hensel South Mountaineer This past Saturday, in an outstanding singles victory, Lehigh's No. 4 tennis player Jennifer Jacobson swept Pace University's Debbie Pifulaf, 6-0, 6-0 and upped the team's record to 8-4 for the spring campaign. Jacobson also joined her teammate Heather Johnston in a 6-0, 6-2 doubles victory on the way to a clean, 9-0 sweep of Pace. Victory is not something new to Jacobson, however. In her freshman season she captured the East Coast Conference crown at No. 5 singles. In addition, in the fall, Jacobson captured the ECC championship at No. 4 singles. This season she is continuing her winning ways, scoring victories in her last seven outings. The success that Jacobson is enjoying does not come easily. Head coach Karen Adams said the junior works hard at sharpening her skills to become a better player. "(Jennifer) has a positive attitude on the court," Adams said. "She is consistent and has developed a variety of skills that allow her to go to the net."

The V.Flash (known as V.Smile Pro in Europe; stylized as V.FLASH HOME EDUTAINMENT SYSTEM) is a seventh-generation educational home video game console. It is a spinoff of the V.Smile series of video game consoles and was manufactured and released by VTech. Unlike the V.Smile, the game console uses 3D graphics and is designed for kids aged 5+. It was revealed at the 2006 London Toy Fair, and came out in September 2006. Games Not many games were made for the console because it was not very successful. All games came out in the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, France and Germany, except for of Bratz Fashion Pixiez: The Secret Necklace, which did not come out in the United Kingdom and Germany, Multisports, which was exclusive to Germany, and Scooby-Doo!: Ancient Adventure, which did not come out in Germany. There are 10 titles known to have been released; Although the name is in English, Multisports was exclusive to Europe and no English version exists. CDs Unlike most other consoles that use CD-ROMs, this system's CD-ROMs are inside a plastic case to protect them from damage from touching, similar to 3.5" floppy disks or UMDs. The discs use the ISO 9660 file system, without any copy protection other than a simple sensor in the case jacket, making it possible to make a disc image from the disc. However, there are no known cases of piracy involving the V.Flash. Because of this, the V.Flash can also play audio CDs and user-recorded CD-Rs using the disc adapter that comes with the console. Other hardware The console's CPU is an ARM9 CPU from LSI Logic. Files are stored in 3 main formats: .mjp, .ptx, and .snd. .snd files are actually PCM WAV files. The console can render 1.5 million polygons per second and has a 32 bit CPU, making the console directly comparable to fifth-generation game consoles, such as the PlayStation.

Against the Grain is the fifth album by American punk rock band Bad Religion, released on the Californian independent record label Epitaph Records on November 23, 1990. After the release of this album, drummer Pete Finestone left Bad Religion in 1991 to concentrate with his new project The Fishermen. Following his departure, their music would take a different direction on their next album, 1992's Generator. Against the Grain was highly anticipated by both music critics and fans as a result of the band's success with their last two albums, Suffer and No Control. Even though Against the Grain still did not break Bad Religion into mainstream audiences, it was the first 100,000 seller, and showed how quickly they were growing. The album's 13th track, "21st Century (Digital Boy)", was re-recorded and appeared on their eighth full-length studio album Stranger Than Fiction. The Stranger Than Fiction version of that song made Bad Religion even more popular.

An extrasolar planet (or exoplanet) is a natural planet in a planetary system outside our own solar system. A related concept is an exomoon, a natural satellite orbiting an exoplanet. In 2013, estimates of the number of terrestrial planets in the Milky Way ranged from at least 17 billion to at least 144 billion. The smaller estimate studied planet candidates gathered by the Kepler space observatory. Among them are 461 Earth-size planets, at least four of which are in the "habitable zone" where liquid water can exist. One of the four, dubbed Kepler-69c, is a mere 1.5 times the size of the Earth and around a star like our own Sun - about as near as the current data allow to finding an "Earth 2.0". Earlier work suggested that there are at least 100 billion planets of all types in our galaxy, an average of at least one per star. There are also planets that orbit brown dwarfs, and free-floating planets that orbit the galaxy directly just as the stars do. It is unclear whether either type should be called a "planet". Analogies with planets in the Solar System apply to few of the extrasolar planets known. Most are quite unlike any of our planets, for example the so-called "hot Jupiters". History Early speculations In the sixteenth century, the Italian philosopher Giordano Bruno, an early supporter of the Copernican theory that the Earth and other planets orbit the Sun, put forward the view that the fixed stars are similar to the Sun and are likewise accompanied by planets. Bruno was burnt at the stake by the Holy Inquisition. In the eighteenth century, the same possibility was mentioned by Isaac Newton in his Principia. Making a comparison to the Sun's planets, he wrote "And if the fixed stars are the centres of similar systems, they will all be constructed according to a similar design and subject to the dominion of One". Confirmed discoveries The first published and confirmed discovery was made in 1988. It was finally confirmed in 2002. In 1992, radio astronomers announced the discovery of planets around a pulsar. These pulsar planets are believed to have formed from the unusual remnants of the supernova that produced the pulsar, in a second round of planet formation. Otherwise they may be the remaining rocky cores of gas giants that survived the supernova and then decayed into their current orbits. On October 6, 1995, Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz of the University of Geneva announced the first definitive detection of an exoplanet orbiting an ordinary main-sequence star (51 Pegasi). This discovery, made at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence, started the modern era of exoplanetary discovery. Technological advances, most notably in high-resolution spectroscopy, led to the quick detection of many new exoplanets. These advances allowed astronomers to detect exoplanets indirectly by measuring their gravitational influence on the motion of their parent stars. Additional extrasolar planets were eventually detected by watching occultations when a star becomes dimmer as an orbiting planet passed in front of it. In May 2016 NASA announced the discovery of 1,284 exoplanets which brought the total number of exoplanets to over 3,000. Types Extrasolar planets can have many different forms. They can be gas giants or rocky planets They can possibly be dwarf planets, i.e. planets smaller and less dense than regular planets They can orbit several different types of stars They can be free-floating or orbit a brown dwarf They may support life. One recently discovered exoplanet, Gliese 581g is thought to possibly support life, but the existence of this planet is not yet confirmed. Classes of exoplanets include: A super-terran or super-Earth is a terrestrial planet that is bigger than Earth, but smaller than Neptune A water-world is a hypothetical class of planet between terrestrial and jovian. These worlds would have very very little, if any dry land. Hot Jupiters are gas planets orbiting closer to their stars than Mercury to the sun. Rogue planets orbit no stars at all. Nearest The nearest star with planets is Alpha Centauri. It is 4.3 light years away. Using standard rockets, it would take tens of thousands of years to get there. The nearest star similar to our Sun is Tau Ceti. It has five planets, one of which in the habitable zone, where liquid water may exist. Most Earth-like Some extrasolar planets might be Earth-like. This means that they have conditions very similar to that of the Earth. Planets are ranked by a formula called the Earth similarity index or ESI for short. The ESI goes from one (most Earth-like) to zero (least Earth-like). For a planet to be habitable it should have an ESI of at least 0.8. For comparison, the four solar terrestrial planets are included in this list.

Jennifer Needhamon01/09/2008 Originally a top Beverly Hills make-up artist, Jerrod started the brand with only a credit card, a dream and a microwave! His favourite song is Holiday by Madonna, and if he could live anywhere, it would be in Paris in a chateau within walking distance of all the couture houses! 1. What is your favourite ever make-up tip? Bronzer! It makes you look like you have flawless, perfect radiant skin. Your skin looks like you are 7 years old again after using bronzer! Our bronzers are like a fountain of youth in a compact. Dust on in a "W" figure from temple to chin and back up to the other temple and skin will look glowing and youthful. 2. You must have quite a hectic schedule - what do you do to relax? Shop, of course!! 3. Describe your look 10 years ago Bleached blonde, label obsessed, and fearless! 4. Tell us a make-up secret no-one else knows... If you mix gel antiperspirant into your liquid makeup and apply around the hairline, you will never sweat off your makeup again! 5. What has been your career highlight so far? Creating makeup for Gwen Stefani & Madonna 6. What are the 3 products you can't live without? Sun Bunny (the perfect bronzer), Brow Envy (for perfect brows), & Too Faced Lash Injection Pinpoint Mascara , one of the world's best-selling mascaras (it built my house!) 7. What is your favourite celebrity look/ which celeb do you think has the best make-up? Gwen & Madonna, they're always on the cutting edge but always manage to own their look. 8. If you weren't in the beauty industry, what would you be doing? Underwater basket weaving. I'd be the synthetic straw distributor! Or hosting a television show, that's more glamorous! 9. What do you envisage being the 'next big thing' within the make-up industry? Products that offer extreme results, once only available at a plastic surgeons office. 10. What's the worst make-up myth you have ever heard and want to put straight? Lighting the tip of your eyeliner with a match before applying it. You look like somebody lined your eyes with a magic marker that melted! 11. What do you think of natural and organic products? I love them! I use green ingredients whenever possible, but sometimes it's a matter of function over natural; I'm all about

Been messing around with this for a while but can’t get it right, basically I’m trying to get the arrow to always go around clockwise, depending on which button is pressed, but still keeps going backwards… any ideas? The result must be the arrow stops depending which block is pressed, lol seems simple enough doesn’t it? import mx.transitions.Tween; import mx.transitions.easing.; function tweenAngle(angle) { if (Math.abs(0-Number(angle))>180) { goToAngle = -Math.abs(0-Number(angle))+2Math.abs(180-Number(angle)); } else { arrow_mc._rotation = 360; goToAngle = Math.abs(0-Number(angle)); } var tween_angle:Tween = new Tween(arrow_mc, "_rotation", null, arrow_mc._rotation, goToAngle, 10, false); } bttn1.onPress = function(){ tweenAngle(90) } bttn2.onPress = function(){ tweenAngle(270) RimmonTrieu said Thanks..Yeh I’m guessing the built in class ain’t gonna cut it, need to use greensock then… Nah this is for a local client job.. still doing the wordpress thing function tweenAngle(angle) { goToAngle = angle; time = (angle-arrow_mc._rotation)/4 var tween_angle:Tween = new Tween(arrow_mc, "_rotation", Regular.easeInOut, moon_mc._rotation, goToAngle, time, false); }OK turns out just this code will do the trick, wow >.

>>. 1 Like. perfect comment.. 0 Likes They’re not reminding you your korean is good because they think it’s good. they’re trying to encourage you because you’re barely scraping by and you sound cute. 0 Likes. :) 0 Likes totally agreeeee that World Cup was superrr awesome in Korea. I had the blessing to experience World Cup back in 2002, and i never knew Korea could be so…loving?? and united and there was just this spirit of togetherness. :) :) :) 0 Likes which friend were you talking about? do they have a youtube channel? if they do, can you please post a link? 0 Likes… Just wanted to say, from a Korean’s perspective, you guys are 100% right on this issue. I agree with you that Koreans, while not being malicious, tend to get very impressed when a non-Korean speaks their language even just a little. I guess it’s because Koreans are still not that used to having foreigners (I hate this term) living around them. So, my apologies on behalf of my race, if you were offended at all by our attitude. Keep up the good work, Martina and Simon! I’ve been watching your videos for quite awhile now, and I must say, you guys do really try to keep an objective voice. Thanks for all your hard work!!! p.s. Has Spudgy been extra frisky lately? lol I’m just thinking it’s time he met a nice girlfriend… 0 Likes As annoying as it can be to having the constant comments about how good you’re speaking Korean or how you should learn more. It’s far better then being discriminated against because you’re not fluent. I’ve hear in France that they will ignore you if you don’t speak enough french to ask them in french. 0 Likes The worst thing about France is that they do speak English…but if you don’t make even a token effort at French they will pretend they don’t speak English and make you try to communicate the other way. I’ve seen this happen SO many times to where I would walk up and be like, “Where are you trying to go?” while shooting the other person an evil eye. They just grin. Granted I only have conversational French but that meant I never had to say more than a sentence before we switched to English. 0 Likes lol loved how it ended on the note of : Also known as a psychopath …. who wants to bet Simon editted this vid ? LOL Apart from that I can understand how you feel. I’m half viet and speak a lil bit of viet. Cause I look so much more western viet people are like. Wow! your Vietnamese is good! all the time. Then later they are like you should learn more…. >..< 0 Likes Here in Vancouver there’s a large Korean population, especially where I live. At school you always hear Korean conversations in the halls and a lot of people (non-Koreans, but still mostly Asians) listen to K-Pop, watch K-Dramas, etc. – most people will at least know who SNSD and stuff are. But sometimes people still get surprised when they hear that I can read and write in Korean, and that I speak a little bit; even though there’s a lot of people who can because they listen to K-Pop and watch K-Dramas stuff. It’s happening less and less now that the Hallyu is spreading more though. But maybe because I haven’t tried lengthy conversations (and because I’m not actually in Korea) I haven’t gotten the “why don’t you learn more?” question. Anyway, great episode this week! :D
is one of Japan's four main islands. It is the most southern of the main islands and the third largest. Regions Kyushu region is made up of the entire island. The name Kyushu literally means "nine countries" in Japanese. Kyushu was made of nine old "countries" or provinces that are now prefectures. Each prefecture has a modern name and sometimes more than one old provincial name. The old names are still used sometimes, especially for foods, music, or art. The original nine provinces in Kyushu were Chikuzen, Chikugo, Hizen, Higo, Buzen, Bungo, Hyuga, Osumi, and Satsuma. Today, Kyushu is made up of seven of the prefectures of Japan. Fukuoka Prefecture Kagoshima Prefecture Kumamoto Prefecture Miyazaki Prefecture Nagasaki Prefecture Oita Prefecture Saga Prefecture Parts of Kyushu have a warm climate, like the Miyazaki and Kagoshima regions. Major crops grown there are rice, tea, tobacco, sweet potatoes, and soy; silk is also made. The island is known for many types of porcelain like Arita, Imari, Satsuma and Karatsu. Under the Gokishichido system, the island of Kyushu was a part of the region known as Saikaido. It was a part of this region from the 7th century until the middle of the 1800s. Around 1905, it was made into its own region. In the modern system, Kyushu and the small islands around it are a part of the Kyushu region.
