RTÉ staff have been informed that the current financial situation at the national broadcaster is "not like anything we have seen before".
In a note sent to staff today, Director General Dee Forbes said that the broadcaster is reassessing everything it does.
Ms Forbes said that the Government's decision to tender for licence collection services was welcome but said the decision to defer the revised media charge system for five years means the funding crisis at RTÉ will continue.
She thanked staff for "all their efforts across the summer", but said the broadcaster's "capacity to deliver against its existing remit is severely compromised".
Ms Forbes wrote; "The return of The Late Late Show each September heralds the start of a new season at RTÉ and as we saw at the New Seasonstaff in October.
RTÉ had no further comment to make.
The most recent highest-earners list for RTÉ was released late last year. The figures are published annually but two years in arrears.
RTÉ's highest paid presenter for the year 2016 was Ryan Tubridy, host of The Late Late Show and weekday Radio 1 programme, who earned €495,000. His earnings did not increase from 2015.
Ray D'Arcy was the second highest paid presenter, and he saw an increase in earnings from €400,000 in 2015 to €450,000 in 2016 as his TV show aired. It was the biggest increase among the top ten earners at the State broadcaster that year.
Fellow Radio 1 presenter Joe Duffy remained the third highest paid with earnings of €389,988, no change from 2015, while Sean O'Rourke's earnings increased by | {

daily smoking before the age of 17. A second haplotype actually reduced the risk of adult heavy nicotine dependence for people who began smoking in their youth.
The researchers studied 2,827 long-term European American smokers, recruited in Utah and Wisconsin, and to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's Lung Health Study. They assessed the level of nicotine dependence for all smokers, and recorded the age they began daily smoking, the number of years they smoked, and the average number of cigarettes smoked per day. DNA samples were taken from all smokers, and the researchers recorded the occurrence of common SNPs, grouped into four haplotypes, which had been identified earlier in a subset of participants.
They found that people who began smoking before the age of 17 and possessed twograders, and 21.6% of 12th graders had used cigarettes at least once in the month prior to being surveyed. Although cigarette use has declined slightly in youth in recent years, just over 3 million young people between the ages of 12 and 17, or 13 percent of those in the United States, still smoke cigarettes.

Hershey’s Milk Chocolate: Bar Wrappers Over the Years
Search for the Perfect Formula
By the early 1890s, Milton Hershey’s Lancaster Caramel Company was an established success. Fortunately, its very success set free Mr. Hershey’s enthusiasm, energy and love of technology to look for a new challenge.
He found it at the Columbian Exposition where, in 1893, he had the chance to see a complete chocolate manufacturing operation in action. There, he arranged to purchase the entire assembly and had it shipped to Lancaster as soon as the Exposition closed. Upon arrival, the equipment was set up in a wing of the caramel factory. It was here that Hershey first experimented with the chocolate-making process. He established the Hershey Chocolate Company and soon began marketing baking chocolate, cocoa and sweet chocolate productsOf the albion mills
OF THE ALBION MILLSThe Albion Mills, the first great factory in London, formerly stood on the east side of Blackfriars Road, on the approach to Blackfriars Bridge. They were steam-powered mills, established in 1786 by Matthew Boulton & James Watt, featuring one of the first uses of Watt’s steam engines to drive machinery, and were designed by pioneering engineer John Rennie (who later built nearby London Bridge). Grinding 10 bushels of wheat per hour, by 20 pairs of 150 horsepower millstones, the Mills were the ‘Industrial wonder’ of the time, quickly becoming a fashionable sight of the London scene… Erasmus Darwin called them “the most powerful machines in the world.”

“I can only advise you not to go there,” Kagame said.
Last week, Uganda raised a concern that Rwanda closed borders against it, which is contrary to east African community protocols on the free movement of goods and people.
Like previously, at the retreat, Rwanda clarified the case in point, that only one border – Gatuna is closed to trucks given undergoing construction of one stop border post on Rwandan side.
The president took this opportunity to ask the Minister of Foreign Affairs on the progress of activities and the later said, the border will be open for all vehicles in May.
In the meantime, Cyanika and Kagitumba border posts are fully operational.
The president is aware that the flow of goods and people will tremendouslyLi Min (synchronised swimmer)

adhesive traps mostly settled in palm trees in forest fragments and pastures. Species were identified by morphological observation, dissection of genitalia, and sequencing of three mitochondrial gene fragments and one nuclear fragment. Molecular analysis was based on (i) the identity score of the haplotypes with GenBank sequences through the BLAST algorithm and (ii) construction of phylogenetic trees. Thirty-four triatomines, all belonging to the Rhodnius genus, of which two were adult males, were captured in palm trees in forest fragments and pastures (overall infestation rate, 12.3%). The morphology of the phallic structures in the two males confirmed the R. stali species. For the other specimens, after molecular sequencing, only one specimen was identified with confidence as belonging to Rhodnius robustus, the others belonged to one of the species ofSpecializing in Domestic & Imported Quality Crab Products

over obstacles. It is for this reason that a lot of bashrings aimed at trials riding have a tooth-like profile. They are also used for landing on a log, so are generally wider than those used for downhill and freeride.
Finally, bashrings are used a lot on street bikes, where they are used to protect the chain and chainring when grinding obstacles, and again in the case of a crash.

A bashplate is a device used most often on Mod-class trials bikes, again to protect the chain and chainring. This device, however, is attached to the frame rather than to the crankset. Being more central on the bike (and generally far wider) means that balancing on this is easier, though the fact that it is not attached to the crankarmTwo employee activists at Google say they have been retaliated against for helping to organize a walkout among thousands of Google workers in November, and are planning a “town hall” meeting on Friday for others to discuss alleged instances of retaliation.

“aerodrome” shall be used interchangeably within the meaning of the invention.
Airports are divided into landside and airside areas. “Landside” land is airport land that is outside of the runway areas within the airport. Landside areas include parking lots, public transportation train stations, tank farms, grassy areas, mowed turf, access roads and areas along highways near airports. “Airside” land usually refers to land alongside of runways within the airport. Airside areas include all areas accessible to aircraft, including runways, taxiways, ramps and tank farms. Access from landside areas to airside areas is tightly controlled at most airports. Passengers on commercial flights access airside areas through terminals, where they can purchase tickets, clear security, check or claim luggage and board aircraft through gates. The waiting areas which provide passenger accessused to form a stronger lawn when one type does better in the warmer seasons and the other in the cooler climates.
According to a study from the University of Illinois and report entitled Species, Endophytes and Wildlife—A Primer on Turf Management for Airports, by Bruce Branham, Theresa Kissane, and Edwin Herricks, (Departments of NRES and CEE, University of Illinois, it is estimated that since 1988, global wildlife strikes have been responsible for at least 163 aircraft strikes and resulted in the death of more than 194 people.
The FAA wildlife strike database has recorded over 121,000 (Civil and USAF) wildlife strikes between 1990 and 2010. During the five years between 2006 to 2010, there was an average of 26 strikes reported each day. As global travel increases every year, | {

Income growth was stagnant for Houston area households last year, according to the Census data. But while that can sometimes be explained by strong job gains in low-paying sectors, which drag down the average, the retail sector — one of the lowest-paying sectors in the region — lost about 5,800 jobs last year. Other, higher-paying sectors, such as construction, energy and manufacturing, added thousands of jobs over the year.
This suggests that growth in salaries and wages have slowed broadly throughout different sectors of the economy, analysts said.

dollar holdings around the world from emerging market economies that want to hold U.S. dollar reserves as a hedge against sudden capital outflows or to keep their own currency undervalued, as well as from oil and other commodity exporters who prefer to hold their accumulated trade surpluses in the form of U.S. dollars. And when economic shocks occur, demand for these safe U.S. dollar assets can rise and fall in ways that threaten economic stability.
Triffin's policy solution, back in the day, was the creation of a global central bank that would issue a new "reserve unit" which central banks could hold as a safe asset, but would not be linked to gold or currencies. While Volcker doesn't endorse that approach, he also says that the way out liesas big, or bigger, than back in the 1980s. Here's a figure showing U.S. trade deficits as a share of GDP since the time Triffin enunciated his dilemma up to the present.
I suspect that the U.S. trade deficits in recent decades would have seemed almost impossibly large to Triffin and others back in 1960. But in recent decades, he rest of the world has wanted to hold trillions of U.S. dollars as a safe asset, and so the U.S. economy could import to its heart's content, send the U.S. dollars abroad and run enormous trade deficits. But at some point, the accumulation of U.S. trade deficits becomes so sustained and large that it will lead to economic disruption. As Paul Volcker says: "We ought to be conscious of | {

A week later, her cheeks started to react. Glogau says it appeared that there were "red, angry nodules in the cheeks." He had to surgically drain the area, which had "lakes of pus under the skin," and excise the material from her cheeks.
After the surgery, Glogau had the material from her face tested. The UCSF dermatopathology results showed there was some type of "refractile material" found in her cheeks. Glogau describes the material as low-grade "glass or fiberglass." The patient's body was rejecting that material.

Commonwealth
The country is one of the few remaining commonwealth realms with considerable land mass alongside Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. One could point to this as a stamp of stability. It is important to note that PNG consists of almost a thousand languages and many ethnic groups. The government is a great unifying element the people need to lead Papua World Guinea into the world economy.
Cons That Aren't Really Cons
Land issues
Currently 97% of PNG land is on 'protected reserves' of hundreds of fragmented tribal communities, but this is changing. The hundreds or thousands of languages and ethnic groups in PNG arethe improved infrastructure, job opportunities , and standard of living should substantially lower crime rates. Should a stable emerging market be in leagues with the countries below?

Inflation Rate
Although inflation was 8.4% in 2011, The World Bank suggested in a report on PNG the same year that "PNG's inflation has shifted to being domestically-driven, caused by capacity constraints in the face of the large increases in demand, in contrast with the historical pattern of inflation outbreaks being due to rising import prices." The nation's currency, the Kina, is also making a consistent and notable rise in value against the American dollar.

The Pickerel is found throughout the eastern United States from Maine to Florida and west to the Mississippi. He has a long, tubular body and a flat mouth shaped somewhat like an alligator's. His color varies greatly. When he has a chain-like pattern of dark lines on his sides he's called a Chain Pickerel. On a Grass Pickerel these dark lines are wavy. They become curved bars on a Barred Pickerel. In general, however, he's dark green on back and sides with a yellowish belly.

The five blockship used during the Zeebrugge and Ostend Raids on 23rd April 1918 were all drawn from the Apollo-class of 2nd class Protected Cruisers. There were twenty-one ships in the class plus eight of the slightly modified Astrea-class, and they were built between 1889 and 1892.
By the time that HMS Dreadnought was launched, the protected cruisers were already becoming obsolete, and seven of the class (HMS Andromache, HMS Apollo, HMS Intrepid, HMS Iphigenia, HMS Latona, HMS Naiad, and HMS Thetis) were converted into minelayers in 1907.
Six of the class were converted into blockships for the Zeebrugge and Ostend raids. These were:
HMS Intrepid: Expended at Zeebrugge
HMS Iphigenia: Expended at Zeebrugge
HMS Thetis: Expended at Zeebrugge
HMS Brilliant: Expended at Ostend (1st raid)
HMS Sirius: Expendedat Ostend (1st raid)
HMS Sappho: Intended to be used at Ostend (2nd raid), but broke down on the way and not used
HMS Intrepid
HMS Iphigenia
HMS Thetis
HMS Brilliant
HMS Sirius
HMS Sappho
To prepare them for their use as blockships, the vessels were stripped of most of their armament and many compartments were filled with concrete. The extent of the damage inflicted on the blockships during the raids can be gauged by the following photograph:
HMS Vindictive was one of four Arrogant-class Protected Cruisers that were built between 1895 and 1900. The other ships in the class were HMS Arrogant, HMS Furious, and HMS Gladiator.

Rambo, a 9-month-old Yorkie, is one loyal pup.
His owner, truck driver Michael Siau, didn't realize that Rambo had slipped out of his long-haul truck while he was stretching his legs at a rest stop in Hannibal, Mo., the Hannibal Courier-Post reports.
Siau got all the way to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, before he noticed that Rambo, whom he thought was asleep in the back, was missing.
Siau, who admits he was sobbing during the ordeal, figured the Missouri rest area as the only likely spot where Rambo could have escaped, but wasted two days by calling police in the wrong town.
Finally, three hours after ringing the Hannibal Animal Unit, Siau got a call that Rambo had been located -- sitting patiently at the rest stop waiting for him.

Before the financial crisis, the federal funds market was an interbank market in which the largest players on both the demand and supply sides were domestic commercial banks, and in which rates were set bilaterally between the lending and borrowing banks. The main drivers of activity in this market were daily idiosyncratic liquidity shocks, along with the need to fulfill reserve requirements. Rates were set based on the quantity of funds available in the market and the perceived risk of the borrower.
Although the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) sets a target for the federal funds rate, the actual funds rate is determined in the market, with the “effective” rate being the weighted average of all the overnight lending transactions in the federal funds market. When the effective | {

to the civic projects in their own cars, often after a flurry of other afterschool enrichment activities. Like many university-bound youth in the United States, this second type of youth volunteered partly for the purpose of puffing up a resume for college applications (in the United States, unlike other countries, a university education is expensive and not a right; the process of application, especially if one needs financial aid, involves writing an essay touting one\'s exceptional dedication to noble extracurricular activities).
I attended these evening meetings, youth subcommittee meetings, events like Martin Luther King Day, and workshops and meetings for the adult organizers. Working as a participant--observer meant attending all these meetings, entering data about youth volunteering into a database that kept track of where and when local teensvolunteered, deciphering grant forms, attending parties and dances, and volunteering alongside kids and adults in various youth-led service projects, such as gathering food for the homeless and decorating the Pediatric Hospital. The study of the civic engagement projects was part of a larger study, that included the afterschool programs and summer camps, on which I spent an average of about six hours a week for four and a half years. In this article, I only report on the youth civic engagement meetings, events and service activities, and the adults\' separate meetings to oversee and fund the youth projects.

New Democracy leads in election polls in Greece
IN THE BALANCE:New Democracy is conservative and pro-bailout, while anti-bailout Syriza is second in the latest polls, with 82.4% wanting to stay in the eurozone
AFP, ATHENS
Greek pro-bailout conservative party New Democracy is favorite to secure most seats in the June 17 general elections, but without an outright majority, a series of opinion polls showed yesterday.
The new polls predict a New Democracy victory ranging between 23.3 percent and 25.8 percent, a result that would require the party to seek additional allies to form a viable government.
Radical left party Syriza, which rejects the austerity measures that Athens agreed to in return for a second EU-IMF debt rescue package, comes in at second place in the pre-vote polls ahead of the Pasok socialists, whomarket, Sinha said that in spite of the formation of new government and a great Budget, it continues to be subdued.
In the 11 months of FY'15, only Rs 1,500 crore has been raised and the pipeline is not strong at the moment, he added.
When country is projected to grow at 7 percent and foreign portfolio investment touched record USD 46 billion mark, why primary market is subdued, he asked, seeking suggestions from industry to revive it. However, the retail investors have started returning to the market as lakhs of new demat accounts have been opened.

Plaintiffs argued that the permit violated NEPA and the CWA, and that the issuance of the permit was arbitrary, capricious, and an abuse of discretion. Plaintiffs also moved for a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction to halt the proposed development.

A temporary restraining order against the project was issued by the district court, but it subsequently amended the order to allow limited construction pending its ruling on the preliminary injunction.

reduced their rates and improved bulk loading and haulage facilities; highways were improved and the trucking industry provided an additional, competitive means of transportation; newly developed vehicles for water transportation outstripped the capacity of the canal. Indeed, by 1930 it was so outmoded in comparison with water transportation facilities in use or under construction on the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers that Congress directed a study of the advisability and costs of its improvement.[8] The result was a 1938 Army Corps of Engineers recommendation
"that the existing obsolete canal be no longer maintained as a navigable waterway of the United States, but that for the present the right of way be retained by the United States for future canal improvement when justified and in order that the United States mayRivers and Harbors Board of the United States made a further study which recommended that improvement of the canal was not advisable. The Chief of Engineers of the Corps concurred and gave public notice that on July 1, 1951, the canal would close to through traffic. Minimal maintenance of the canal, and of bridges over it, began in 1945 and continued through August 1970 when pursuant to conveyance of the properties to the State of Illinois the Corps ceased all maintenance activities including those affecting the bridges.

textile worker associated with the Gosttra union, told the Associated Press.
On May 19, strikers shut down dozens of factories and temporarily blocked the road to the Toussaint Louverture International airport in Port-au-Prince as part of their actions. They then marched in the direction of the Presidential Palace before they were met by riot police, who deployed tear gas against the workers.
The Association of Industries of Haiti has denounced the strike, stating that the strikes are being led by isolated “militants and syndicalists.” They also levied accusations against strikers stating that they attacked the factories, as well as their fellow workers within, leading to the temporary closure of factories on May 19.
The workers have maintained their willingness to continue the strike, but cracks in their mobilization are beginning toon a throat plate between the finger of a presser of the throat plate and the grasping device.

The (A) case describes the launch of a new passenger vehicle in China, produced jointly by Nissan of Japan and by Chinese automaker Dongfeng. Early sales results following the April 2012 launch were disappointing and the joint venture's managers had to decide how to respond. The case includes information on the structure of the industry, on government regulation, and on the preferences of Chinese purchasers of automobiles, including information about environmental considerations. The short (B) case, designed for distribution in class, describes further complications, as an international dispute between the Japanese and Chinese governments created further uncertainties for Chinese consumers and hencechallenge this type of
loyalty because consumer relationships
with the brand is highly personal, and
emotional in nature, and
hence resistant to rational appeals.
Because the product choice is tied
up with the consumers identity and
ego, a competitive challenge to this
choice can even be perceived as a personal
offense to the consumer.
Heart loyal consumers
don't want to be told that
they should switch to another brand.
Brands with heart loyal
consumers continuously need
to demonstrate their consumers that
they hear and understand them.
Hand loyalty does not require high
involvement with the product.
Hand loyalty is habitual,
the consumer is loyal to the product
not because of an emotional or
rational involvement but simple because
of a routine that she has established.
Her commitment to the brand is low, and
her interest in expanding the resources
necessary to search for
a replacement brand is even lower.

Central Falls, a city of about 19,000 just north of Providence, is both the smallest and most densely populated city in Rhode Island. It also has the distinction of being one of a handful in the US to file for bankruptcy. The city’s economy began to decline in the 1970s with the departure of manufacturers, particularly in the textile sector where 11 plants closed between 1997 through 2007. By the 1990’s the state was eventually forced to take over the city’s schools system, including 100 percent of its funding. The Great Recession in 2008 added | {

By October 1996 users had downloaded 45 million Netscape browsers, a meteoric rise considering that two years ago the web was virtually inaccessible to the average consumer.
Netscape succeed by doing four core things right:
They were founded on a belief that the internet should be for everyone; They designed for consumers first; They created a uniform browsing experience across operating systems (read: interoperability); and They made it free.
Netscape IPO
Netscape did more than just revolutionize the internet experience, they also revolutionized the financial model behind massive disruptive companies.
Today, the Silicon Valley norm is for venture-backed tech companies to remain unprofitable well past their IPO (ex: Amazon, Tesla, Twitter, Pandora, Alibaba).
Netscape was one of the first companies to break the convention that a company should or mustroom.”
Netscape Legacy
But, alas, everything must come to an end.
A week after the IPO, Microsoft launched a directly competitive product — Internet Explorer.
IE was released on August 16, 1995 and came bundled with with Windows.
Despite the phenomenal early growth of Netscape, this was a distribution strategy that Netscape couldn’t compete with. They had a product that was virtually identical to Internet Explorer, but with an inferior distribution strategy.
As Reid Hoffman writes, “the cold and unromantic fact is: a good product with great distribution will almost always beat a great product with poor distribution.”
In November 1998 AOL acquired Netscape, and by 2003 the end had come. Internet explorer had attained 95% of the market and in July 2003 Netscape was shut-down and all remaining engineers were laid-off.

"Mining is in Mexico a main source of the national economy. Under Mexican law, the mineral wealth of the nation is the property of the nation and not of the landowner.

for some lessons on our current predicament is the immigrant-rights movement, which today stands as one of the very few parts of the broader progressive movement with the capacity to put hundreds of thousands of people in motion and on the streets. Consider the paradox: Some of the most vulnerable, exploited segments of our society with the most to lose from engaging in public life have the greatest level of capacity for mobilization and movement.
The story of the movement goes back decades, but its recent origins lie in efforts during the late 1990s by committed people to put an issue on the table that was at the time unspeakable in polite discourse in Washington -- the condition of millions of undocumented people living in fear and experiencing extremeexploitation at the workplace. Had the issue been left to politicians, political consultants, or pollsters, no one would have made the demand for a path to citizenship under the conditions prevailing at that time. Through immigrant service organizations, community organizations, churches, hometown and ethnic associations, and ethnic media, immigrants had built a rich associational infrastructure that could be tapped for mobilization and political power. This infrastructure has gradually won allies to its side -- in evangelical churches, among white progressives, among cops and sheriffs, and among the women's, civil-rights, and labor movements -- but it began by consolidating power and vision among those with the most at stake.

Chong's codefendant, Hien Hai Hoac ("Hoac"), who agreed to cooperate with the authorities and to assist in a controlled delivery of the drugs to the intended recipient Chau Ngoc Au ("Au"). Special Agent Jimmy Tse arrested Au as he accepted the delivery of the heroin.

At the police station, Hoac implicated Wai Chong and a fourth codefendant, Hgai Choi Chan ("Chan"). Hoac stated that he had met with Wai Chong and Au in Hong Kong and later in Vancouver to discuss the shipment. Hoac's statements to the police were somewhat inconsistent.

On January 7, 1990, the Royal Hong Kong Police took Chan into custody. A search of Chan's residence revealed documents relating to the lychee shipment, a lease agreement to a warehouse in Hong Kong, andkeys to the same. Wai Chong was listed as the landlord on the lease agreement. In the warehouse the police found boxes of lychee nuts, various tools, traces of morphine and documents addressed to Wai Chong. Chan told the Royal Hong Kong police that Wai Chong had contacted him and had asked him to open up a trading company to ship lychee nuts to the U.S. Chan formed a trading company, obtained a business license, reserved a shipping date, and arranged a container for transportation. Chan and Wai Chong allegedly cut open the cans in eight of the boxes of lychee nuts, filled them with heroin, and resealed them. According to Chan, Wai Chong paid Chan $10,000 in Hong Kong currency and promised | {

Alfa Bank is a front for Russian intelligence. Along with Dimitry Firtash, a Russian agent of influence, it owns Cambridge Analytica, the data targeting company used by Trump’s campaign. It also owns SCL, the propaganda company responsible for what has been termed “fake news” but was actually real propaganda co-ordinated by Russian intelligence.
Cambridge Analytica and SCL use Facebook data they had no right to acquire, illegally stolen by a Russian spy working at Cambridge, to build an unbeatable target database of propaganda.
In the closing days of the election, the Russian state hacked into the voter rolls of the United States. Russian intelligence did this in order that they could provide this information to Alfa Bank in order to use Cambridge Analytica’sto perfect the social media targeting Russia hacked the electoral voter databases of various key American states:

Manafort and Trump used terrifyingly accurate micro-targeting obtained firstly by Facebook theft but secondly by Russia obtaining the exact demographic profiles of voters through hacks of US state databases and passing it back to Cambridge Analytica.
This theory, if true, would directly connect the Russian state with the Trump campaign and mean that Trump colluded with Russian spies who were hacking America. He will be impeached for it.

Use of MMT in Canadian gasoline: health and environment issues.
Methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT) is an organic derivative of manganese (Mn) used in Canadian gasoline since 1976 as an antiknock agent and to improve octane rating. Combustion products of MMT are mainly a mixture of Mn phosphate and Mn sulfate. In 1997, the Canadian federal government adopted a law (C-29) which banned both the interprovincial trade and the importation for commercial purposes of manganese-based substances, including MMT. However, the government reworded this law in July 1998 so that manganese-based fuel additives were not included in the restrictions. MMT is now approved for use in Argentina, Australia, Bulgaria, the United States, France, Russia, and conditionally in New Zealand. Nevertheless, these countries are not using MMT intensively and they are waitingVietnam was a protracted, full-scale war, the only one the United States ever lost, at the cost of 55,000 American lives overseas and violent political divisions at home.
Bosnia remains a long way from being “another Vietnam.” The United States, at its peak deployment, fielded more than half a million ground troops in Vietnam. It has no combat troops in Bosnia and has proposed using a limited force of a few thousand for only a temporary period of time.
In Vietnam, the United States was on its own, seeking to stop the forces of nationalism in a little-understood part of the world. In Bosnia, by contrast, the United States and its allies are acting under U.N. auspices, and their more limited goal is to keep rival ethnic groups from deadly | {

Work station feeding devices are known, which have a rail and longitudinally movable carriage guided in the rail, whereby the rail, as a rule, has mounting elements, with which the rail can be fastened either on the ceiling or on support beams. The rail has an essentially C-shaped cross section, whereby the under side of the rail is slotted therealong. The carriage is guided within the rail and usually has for this purpose two undercarriages, which can roll on the interior surface of the under side of the rail. A beam projects from each of these undercarriages downwardly out of the slot of the rail, and the actual carriage is suspended on beams. Thus, the carriage can be moved along the rail. One or several electric lines existwithin the rail, which electric lines can be designed as high-voltage or low-voltage lines and can also include lines for data transmission. The electric lines are introduced at one supply point into the interior of the rail. However, the electric lines are not directly fed to the carriage since moving the carriage could result in bending of the supply lines. Therefore, the electric lines run at least in a portion of the rail within a flexible energy chain. One end of this flexible energy chain is fixed with respect to the rail and the other end is fixed on the rail or on one undercarriage in the rail. The flexible energy chain, also known as a guide track (worm), has an upper strand of chain and a lower | {

In current fault tolerant networks, the length of time-outs and failover intervals is fixed. However, fixed time-outs and failover intervals might be counterproductive depending on the circumstances and the demands placed on the network. Different situations will require different failover intervals in order to optimize the performance of the network.
An example of a situation requiring a fast failover interval is a retail environment. In this case, if a failure in a server caused the network station(s) to be rebooted, the checkout clerk and customers would obviously want a quick failover interval to the next available server.

Poly(ethylene glycol) prodrugs of the CDK inhibitor, alsterpaullone (NSC 705701): synthesis and pharmacokinetic studies.
Two methods were devised to conjugate PEG to alsterpaullone (NSC 705701) via the N of the indole ring portion of the molecule. In the first approach, activation of the indole was accomplished by reaction with p-nitrophenyl chloroformate to produce a reactive carbamate that was then condensed with a mono blocked diamine to form a urea bond followed by deblocking and conjugation to PEG. The second route used the anion of the indole and produced a carbamate bond. Both compounds were highly water soluble, were stable in buffer, and released alsterpaullone in vitro and in vivo. Studies were conducted in mice to investigate the influence of PEGylation on the plasma pharmacokinetics of alsterpaullone.

The minutes of a meeting of the GATT Council on June 19, 1992 state that Brazil reiterated its request that the United States agree to adoption of the panel report and also that the U.S. representative *1085 said that although the United States considered the Panel's analysis and conclusions to be seriously flawed, it would agree to adoption of the report out of respect for the dispute settlement process. The United States noted, however, that Brazil had repeatedly blocked adoption of a panel report on the same issue (SCM/94) in the Subsidies Code Committee, which had concluded that the UnitedStates had acted consistently with the Code in declining to revoke a countervailing duty order on non-rubber footwear imports from Brazil as of the date of Brazil's accession to the Code. While the United States would be justified in refusing to allow adoption of the Panel report at hand (DS18/R) until Brazil had allowed adoption of the report under the Code, it would not do so. However, it fully expected, and would insist, that Brazil follow its example and allow the report under the Code to be adopted.
The United States also wished to emphasize its disagreement with two aspects of the report. First, the Panel had ignored the fact that the Proposal of Provisional Application (PPA) relieved the United States from the obligation to provide any injury test | {

U.S. Supreme Court in February temporarily blocked portions of the lower court's decision redrawing state legislative districts. That was pending an appeal of the panel's ruling that the Republican-led legislature's 2017 redistricting plan violated the state constitution and contained racial biases left over from the maps it originally approved in 2011.
VIRGINIA
Partisan breakdown: U.S. House — seven Republicans, four Democrats. State Senate — 21 Republicans, 19 Democrats. State House — 51 Republicans, 49 Democrats.
The claim: Racial gerrymandering.
The cases: The U.S. Supreme Court last year ordered a lower court to reconsider previously rejected claims that a Republican-led Legislature and governor unconstitutionally diluted black voting strength in the state. The claim was that Republicans did so by packing a high percentage of black voters into 11 state House districts under a2011 redistricting plan. That case is still pending. A separate case pending before the state Supreme Court alleges that 11 state House and Senate districts are not compact enough. In yet another case, a federal court in 2016 redrew congressional districts after ruling that black voters had been illegally packed into a particular district to diminish their voting strength elsewhere.

DeKalb County. The tax lien against Americare involved Form 941 taxes for the period ending March 31, 1997, in the amount of $202,839.20. According to Jeannette Rozier ("Rozier"), the DeKalb County Clerk of Superior Courts,[4] at the time the IRS' tax lien was filed and entered into the court computer system on August 24, 1998, a sticker and bar code were placed on the lien specifically indicating the date and time it was entered into the computer system as well as the book and page number *1361 it would later appear on in the deed books. Even though the lien had been entered into the court's computers, however, it was not immediately available in the public indices.[5] As an alternative to only searching the public indices, Rozier testifiestax lien. The IRS argues that Sunshine House, through Specialized Title, could have used the workstation computers at the information desk of the clerk's office and asked clerk personnel to search incoming mails and records to discover the lien prior to the asset purchase closing at issue here. The government also argues that Sunshine House had at least constructive, if not actual, notice of the lien against Americare due to Baker's mention of the possibility of a lien in his letter to Specialized Title. The IRS contends that because Sunshine House's predicament was caused by its own negligence in conducting the title examination, it is not entitled to invoke the doctrine of equitable subrogation.

Access to YouTube was blocked in Turkey between 2008 and 2010, following controversy over the posting of videos deemed insulting to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and some material offensive to Muslims.[201][202] In October 2012, a local version of YouTube was launched in Turkey, with the domain youtube.com.tr. The local version is subject to the content regulations found in Turkish law.[203] In March 2009, a dispute between YouTube and the British royalty collection agency PRS for Music led to premium music videos being blocked for YouTubeusers in the United Kingdom. The removal of videos posted by the major record companies occurred after failure to reach agreement on a licensing deal.

and in some instances higher and these numbers are located on the sole of the woods. Therefore, when head covers are placed on the heads of the woods, the club identifying indicia is hidden. Further, most golfers will carry at least three different types of woods in their golf bags. For these reasons, head covers are provided with means for identifying the particular golf clubs upon which they are placed.
The prior art golf club head covers accomplish club identification in various ways. Some identify the club by embroidering the desired number on the cover at the closed upper end thereof. This is not a widely used technique however due to the time involved in direct embroidery.

Another PVD process is the well-known sputtering process, wherein a plasma of usually an inert gas is formed near a target material, and the target is biased to attract ions from the plasma to bombard the target. Atoms of the target material are dislodged by momentum transfer, and form an atomic flux of particles which coalesce on surrounding surfaces generally in line-of-sight of the target surface eroded by the sputtering process.
PVD processes have distinct advantages for some processes, such as high rate of deposition, and relatively simple coating apparatus. There are drawbacks as well, notably an inherent inability to provide adequate step coverage. That is, on surfaces having concavities as a result of previous coating and etching steps, PVD processes are heir to | {

of Mackay's army was almost instantly routed by a
furious charge of the Macleans. The right wing stood their ground
manfully, and even repulsed the assault of the Macdonalds, but being
taken in flank by the Camerons and a part of the Macleans, they were
forced to retire and suffered great loss. While directing the oblique
movement of the Camerons, Claverhouse received a mortal wound under
the arm, and with him fell the cause of King James.
This ballad, which is taken from Herd's _Scottish Songs_, i. 163, was
printed as a broadside near the time of the battle. The author is
unknown. There was an old song called _Killiecrankie_, which, with
some alterations, was inserted in Johnson's _Museum_ (p. 302). It is
also found in Hogg's _Jacobite Relics_, i. 32, with an additional
stanza. A contemporary Latin ballad onthe same event by Herbert
Kennedy, a professor in the University of Edinburgh, is given in the
_Museum_, and may be seen in our Appendix.

Exclusive: Etsy, Kickstarter and other leading companies to fight FCC plans to neuter 2015 rules in July protest backed by ACLU, Greenpeace and more
Some of the world’s largest internet companies are planning a day of action in defense of open internet rules now under attack by the Trump administration.
Amazon, Etsy, Kickstarter, Mozilla and Vimeo all intend to hold a day of protest on 12 July in opposition to plans by Donald Trump’s newly appointed telecoms regulator to neuter tough 2015 rules meant to protect “net neutrality” – the concept that all traffic should be equal online.
Ajit Pai, new head of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), pledged last year to take a “weed whacker” to rules that regulate internet service providers like any other companies providing utilities such asis net neutrality under threat? On 14 December 2017, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted to scrap regulations protecting net neutrality in America. In a 3-2 vote, the commission repealed the rules, which had been introduced by the Obama administration in 2015 to replace the patchwork of authorisations that had previously regulated the internet. In response, a number of states vowed to introduce their own state-wide protections of net neutrality. Who benefits from the FCC ruling? The most obvious beneficiaries are the large ISPs, who frequently have local monopolies and have now been handed the ability to discriminate between their own services and those of competitors, and charge other companies for access or bandwidth. But larger internet companies, such as Google or Facebook, are also likely to | {

Chinese students, presenting a world of opportunities for every student who wishes to broaden his horizon.
The visitor flow in recent years suggested that country pavilions become the trusted source of information and insight that put your schools into perspective. By consolidating your quality schools in the pavilion, the national brands will generate more visibility, thus your schools will ultimately benefit from it in this international education event.
Credibility Makes a Difference
Throughout the past 16 years, the organizer has aimed at bringing truly quality schools to China Education Expo, putting the worldwide education excellence in the spotlight, letting the face-to-face interaction work to the advantage of exhibitors and visitors. According to the post event reports, nearly 67% of visitors in Beijing and Shanghai came to the expo in the hopeof meeting and interacting directly with schools for the quality information. Schools are highly acclaimed as a trusted source of information.
Quality visitors with a clear goal were being ensured
The most visible groups were college students with bachelor degrees, taking up two-thirds in Beijing and Shanghai. More importantly, about 68% of visitors in Beijing and Shanghai were ready to go abroad in one to two years' time.
Growing with the World's Most Dynamic Recruitment Market…
The number of Chinese students studying abroad has been growing steadily, from 413,900 students in 2013 to 459,800 in 2014, the annual growth rate reached 11.09%. 2015 it was expected to top 510,000.

*Mucoadhesive Strength.* Mucoadhesive strength of PSY and TPSY gels was assessed using modified physical balance method. This apparatus was comprised of a tared two-pan physical balance. A glass slide was glued to the bottom of one of the pans while another glass slide was glued to the base of the stage beneath the pan. To tare the balance, another glass slide was glued to the other pan of the balance.

It indicates the resistance to compression indicating the ease by which product can be removed from the container. The hardness of GTPSY was found to be more than that off GPSY. The adhesiveness of the formulation, that is, area of the first negative peak on the force time curve, measures the work required to overcome the forces of attraction between the probe and gel surface. The results revealed higher adhesiveness of GPSY as compared to GTPSY. The cohesiveness of the formulations is calculated from the ratio of the area under second positive peak to the first positive peak. It indicates the structural recovery of the gel formulation after compression. The cohesiveness of GTPSY was | {

Solution on the horizon for green power’s erratic electricity
A constantly fluctuating electric current is one of the biggest technological hurdles to the widespread use of renewable energy sources. But a new research institute in Fukushima Prefecture may have a solution.
In April, the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, or AIST, opened its Fukushima Renewable Energy Institute in an industrial park in the northern prefecture.
FREA, as the new institute is also called, boasts rows of solar panels and a huge windmill on its premises. Researchers are using them to develop technology to control the often variable current produced by renewable energy sources.
Solar and wind power, which are vulnerable to constantly changing weather conditions, are plagued by wild fluctuations in the amount of power generated. If such anto four years, according to Junji Ito, managing director at Sumitomo Electric.
Ripe for the picking
There has been a surge in global interest in renewable energy, both to save resources and to cut greenhouse gas emissions, but numerous technological hurdles still stand in the way.
NGK Insulators is a pioneer in the development of large-capacity storage batteries. The sodium-sulfur (NaS) battery developed by the company can generate 1 kwh of electricity at a cost of some 40,000 yen, about one fifth the cost of a lithium-ion battery.
NGK controls 40% of the market for NaS batteries in California. The U.S. state has been keen to promote renewable energy, and major electric utilities there are required to introduce storage batteries into their facilities.

the supply of these securities, the Fed increased their prices and lowered their yields, an approach designed to buoy mortgage markets and promote recovery. The first QE program was introduced in 2008, and two more rounds followed in 2010 and 2012. The QE programs flooded the banking system with liquidity and made it less necessary for banks to borrow in the federal funds market.
The Fed’s balance sheet growth has been mirrored in the cash holdings of commercial banks (figure 2). The cash assets of domestic commercial banks increased by 467.4 percent between 2007 and 2016, with both large and small banks experiencing increases.1 The US branches of foreign-related institutions and the agencies of foreign banks experienced a huge increase in cash assets as well, of 1,647.6 percent.
Figure 2.banks went from holding about 19.1 percent of the cash reserves held by the banking system in June 2008 to 42.9 percent of the reserves at the end of March 2015. At the same time, the nonreserve assets of foreign banks decreased by $432 billion during this period. Meanwhile, domestic institutions have been charging fees to discourage large investors from making large deposits with them.2
Interest Paid on Reserves
The Fed began paying interest of 25 basis points on excess reserve balances in December 2008, increasing the rate to 50 basis points in December 2015. At first blush, this would seem to give the federal funds rate a floor, a rate below which it would not go. The expectation was that an institution that wished to lend in the federal | {

remained friendly. The Pilgrims were still uncertain about their future, and wanted allies, not enemies. There was no shortage of land, nor reason to imagine fighting over it.
The pact lasted forty years. An entire generation kept faith: Their descendents broke it. The religious fervor and conviction that had brought the Pilgrims to the New World gave way to materialism and greed. But perhaps the greed should not be over-emphasized, for in forty years many things transpired which eroded the basis of the agreement.
One of those things was the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which within a few years was setting up the nearby city of Boston. From the first, Massachusetts Bay was concerned with expansion and genocide. Almost immediately they were fielding search-and-destroy missions: One ranged as far as NewHaven harbor. (New Haven was yet to be founded. What today is a three-and-a-half hour drive on the freeway was then a major trek by foot and horseback). At the same time they were attacking the native people physically, they were attacking the rights and legal perogatives of their English neighbors, including Plymouth Colony. By the time the treaty was broken, Plymouth was already a backwater of small political import, and the lands of the native people had largely been over-run by others.
As a religious community, Plymouth suffered from a flaw, and that was that it was financed as a profit-making venture that had to produce a return for its shareholders. So almost immediately they turned to dealing drugs as a way of making a profit. Then as | {

Flowers are abundant everywhere. It was also known as the Full Corn Planting Moon or the Milk Moon.
June~ Full Strawberry Moon
Known to every Algonquin tribe. Europeans called it the Rose Moon.
July~ Full Buck Moon,
When the new antlers of buck deer push out from their foreheads in coatings of velvety fur. It was also often called the Full Thunder Moon, thunderstorms being now most frequent. Sometimes this is also called the Full Hay Moon.
August~ Full Sturgeon Moon.
When this large fishof the Great Lakes and other major bodies of water like Lake Champlain is most readily caught. A few tribes knew it as the Full Red Moon because the moon rises looking reddish through sultry haze, or the Green Corn Moon or Grain Moon.

Sometimes also called the Fruit Moon; such monikers were used for a full moon that occurs during the first week of September, so as to keep the Harvest Moon from coming too early in the calendar.

Traditionally, this designation goes to the full moon that occurs closest to the Autumnal (fall) Equinox. At the peak of the harvest, farmers can work into the night by the light of this moon. Usually the full moon rises an average of 50 minutes | {

Behavioral compensations in a positional learning and memory task by aged monkeys.
The present experiment assessed learning and memory of a positional task by evaluating behavioral strategies as well as accuracy of a task in four young and four aged monkeys. They were tested in a delayed response (DR) task that has been widely used to study animal models of aging. The task consisted of two phases; an acquisition of the task and a positional memory test with five delay times (1-30 s). There was no clear difference between age groups in the number of trials needed for acquisition of the task. However, an analysis of behavior revealed differences in behavioral characteristics displayed during testing. The young monkeys showed various irrelevant behaviors during the execution of the task. Intraining with the new shift rotas. The reduction in practical experience could be compensated by improvements in the formal educational programme, which the Mersey SpRs do value, however the EWTD has reduced their ability to attend these meetings, partly because the rigidity of the shift rota system makes it difficult to change or swap duties at short notice\[[@B39]\].
For the majority of Mersey SpRs, the deleterious effects on training of the EWTD have not been compensated by improvements in their quality of life outside work, particularly the effects on their families. A number noted that they were working more weekends and those with school age children felt they hardly ever saw them as when they were not working during the week, their children were at school.

counts premised on allegations of extortion as well as those grounded upon allegations of bribery.
Hearings on those motions commenced on November 16, 1995, and at the conclusion thereof, and after consideration of legal memoranda by counsel, the trial justice, on January 10, 1996, granted the DiPretes' motions to dismiss the extortion counts but denied their motions to dismiss the bribery counts. The trial justice thereafter assigned and scheduled the trial to commence on February 5, 1996.
The state on January 12, 1996, filed its appeal from the trial justice's January 10, 1996 decision and along with that appeal, its motion for an expedited hearing thereon. On January 18, 1996, defendant Dennis DiPrete filed his objection opposing the state's motion for an expedited appeal. Because of pretrial motions, including adefendant's motion to admit polygraph evidence, the February 5, 1996 trial date was rescheduled to May 13, 1996. On March 28, 1996, defendant Edward DiPrete motioned for a stay of the scheduled May 13 trial until this Court resolved the state's January 12 appeal and the defendants' cross-appeal. That motion was denied by the trial justice, and on April 18, 1996, this Court, by order of that date, also denied a requested stay of the scheduled trial proceedings. On May 13, 1996, this Court issued its order vacating that part of the trial justice's January 10, 1996 decision that had dismissed the indictment extortion counts. In that order, we directed the trial justice to reinstate the extortion counts, stating that "a trial justice should honor an indictment returned | {

Thought and Feelings
A picture isn't serious; it is just a picture. A sound isn't serious; it is just a sound. A feeling isn't serious; it is just a feeling.
How does your mind take a group of pictures, sounds and feelings and convert them into a serious thought?
It beats me.
How does your mind have you believe a thought?
That beats me too.
In fact, that is exactly what the mind does. It beats you. It beats you by adding importance, relevance and seriousness where there isn't any. It beats you into submission. It threatens you until you will believe every thought.
Returning to your senses is an importantstimulus and the correct answer is the response that the most people give.
This quiz show doesn't test intelligence, rather it measures how tuned into the automated stimulus/response couplings one is. Most relationships, businesses and human enterprises are less about intelligence and more about automated stimulus/response couplings, because that is really what your mind does best.
Your mind puts together stimuli and responses so that is what you get if you rely on your mind.
You don't get a creative existence; creativity is an expression of who you really are. You get regurgitated, automatic stimulus/response couplings. Since these couplings are automated, they don't need attention. They progress in predictable ways from beginning to end without attention.

funds distributed by the chapter 13 trustee ("the Trustee") to pay the allowed claims of unsecured creditors. These funds were generated by the sale of the Kuykendalls' home and paid to the Trustee, who distributed the funds to the first mortgage holder, Chase Manhattan Mortgage Co. ("Chase"). Because Chase was paid in full at settlement, the mortgage company returned the payment to the Trustee, who then distributed the funds pro rata to unsecured creditors.
Procedural and Factual History
The Turek case
On June 25, 2004, the Tureks filed a chapter 13 petition. Their plan, which was confirmed on January 14, 2005, proposed payments to the Trustee of $350.00 per month for a maximum of fifty-seven months to the extent necessary to fund the plan.[1] The only claims specifically proposed to bethat payments shall be made over a period of Sixty (60) months.
V. Revestment of Property in Debtors Property of the estate shall vest in the Debtors at the time of confirmation of this Plan. . . .
The Kuykendalls' plan differs from the Tureks' plan in two important ways. First, unlike in the Tureks' case, property of the estate vested in the Kuykendalls on the date the plan was confirmed. Second, the Kuykendalls' plan proposes to pay a specified amount over sixty months and does not, like the Tureks' plan, pledge payments only related to the payment of claims.
According to the terms of the plan, property of the estate vested in the Kuykendalls upon confirmation; therefore, they were able to sell their residence without seeking prior court approval. Under | {

*Bellatrix was referred by J. K. Rowling as Voldemort's lieutenant, suggesting that she may be the second-in-command of the Death Eater organisation. Indeed, she has demonstrated great talent in combat and leadership skills and has been, in the past, trusted with many important things by her master. Similarly, Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape seemed to be lieutenants of Voldemort. Bellatrix and Lucius Malfoy were entrusted with Horcruxes.

Their experiences inspired Messoline to create the tower. It features plenty of things, including a log book where people can write their run-ins with the unknown.
"I had an air traffic controller from DIA come in who said they get six to eight UFO reports from pilots every month. Now figure that one out," Messoline said with a chuckle.

Without a doubt, what's inside the tower isneat. But what's outside is really out of this world.
"The meteor showers are just awesome from up here," Messoline said as she stood on the tower.
From high atop the tower, people come to experience something different.
"About 40 psychics have been by and they've all said the same thing -- that there are two large vortexes in front of the tower," Messoline said with a serious tone.
It might sound weird, but Messoline said there's something special about the land the UFO Watch Tower sits on.
So much so, she created a "UFO Garden." The garden is scattered with all sorts of trinkets, left behind by visitors from our world.

exception record in the database 108. The billing exception record may contain information identifying the bill to which an exception is taken, the amount of the exception, and the reasons justifying the exception. The vendor 104 is then notified of the customer's billing exceptions in step 508. Preferably, this notification is via an electronic mail message generated by the billing verification system 100, 200 and sent to the vendor 104.
The vendor 104 then accesses the database 108 and reviews the billing exception records in step 510 to identify acceptable billing exceptions. Like the customer review, vendor review may include review by a number of vendor employees, such as field representatives in remote locations. The vendor may approve, disapprove, or partially approve each billing exception. In each case, thebilling verification system 100, 200 generates a billing exception response record in the database 108. The billing exception response record may contain information indicating whether the exception has been approved or disapproved, as well as a reason for the approval or disapproval. If the exception is partially approved, the billing exception response record also may include the partially approved dollar value. The billing verification system 100, 200 then notifies the customer of the vendor's billing exception responses in step 514. Like the vendor notification, customer notification preferably is via an electronic mail message generated by the billing verification system 100, 200 and sent to the customer.
In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the billing verification system 100, 200 is used in the specific industry of railcar repair. | {

Generally, an ink jet recording apparatus is a recording apparatus that records by discharging recording liquid from the discharge ports onto a recording sheet. The apparatus comprises the ink jet recording head that forms recording liquid droplets which are discharged from the discharge ports, and the supply system that supplies recording liquid to the ink jet recording head.
The aforesaid ink jet recording apparatus is a recording apparatus of the so-called non-impact recording type, which makes it possible to perform a high speed recording on various recording media. The apparatus is also characterized in that it has almost no noises at the time of recording. Therefore, the apparatus is widely adopted as an apparatus that carries the recording mechanism, such as a printer, a wordMore about MGM Luxury Villa

Hayward studied the figures, and said this year's election was clearly a "quite different" race from 2007, when Mr Chin led in a similar poll with 72% of the vote.
The closeness of Cr Cull and Mr Chin's polling should encourage people to return their voting papers, she said.
It should also bring the single transferable voting (STV) system into play, with voters' second preferences likely to make a difference.
Only 10.9% of voting papers had been returned last night, and the key message to voters yet to do so was "you can have an influence", Prof Hayward said.
That Cr Cull and Mr Chin were well ahead should not put off people who supported other candidates as their first preference, as their second preferences would help decide who would become mayor.
"Theyshould stick to their guns about who their first preferences are, as long as they rank more than one preference."
One aspect of the Otago Daily Times poll was that 721 people said they would vote, while about 150 said they would not.
That meant around 80% were stating they would vote, when the actual percentage at the last election was only 47.4%.
Cr Cull said while he did not know how the election was panning out, he had been getting "some very positive feedback".
"It's a very positive start," he said, though he noted there was plenty of time to go before the end of the election.
"I'm very pleased with that news," he said, referring to the poll.

After Assam, Delhi and West Bengal, the debate on having a National Register of Citizens (NRC) has reached Karnataka. The BJP government in Karnataka today said it has started collecting information and will discuss the matter with the central government.
Justifying the move, Karnataka Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai said there is "very big talk" going on regarding NRC across the country. "Karnataka is one of the states where there people from across the border have come and settled. We are collecting information and will discuss it with the Union Home Ministry and go forward."
These comments come days after Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the government is planning to implement an NRC in West Bengal.
Meanwhile, the Opposition in Karnataka said instead of thinking about NRC, the government should focuson helping flood-affected regions in the state.
Janata Dal (Secular) spokesperson Tanveer Ahmed said, "Let the home minister of Karnataka first concentrate on flood victims. NRC is a national issue that needs a lot of deliberation."
He accused the BJP of giving "rhetorical" statements and having "failed" to bring development in the state.
On August 31, the Union Home Ministry released the final NRC list for Assam which excluded nearly 19 lakh people. BJP's units in Delhi and West Bengal have been pushing for a similar exercise in their respective states.

“But there is a more sobering sub-plot to this good news. Sales activity and prices in London are charging along at a furious pace, which is dragging national house prices up on its coat tails. The capital is in a league of its own. Take the capital out of the equation, and the average rate of house price growth in England & Wales falls to a mere 1%, reflecting a slower rate of improvement outside of the south-east. We’re seeing a three-speed housing market emerge. On the top rung are fickle foreign buyers and theultra-prime, with London on the second rung, and the rest of the country languishing at the bottom.
“With the recovery of the housing market outside of London still on such a precarious footing, house prices and sales in 2013 will closely be tied to how well banks cope with the financial grenades being thrown their way by regulators and the eurozone. George Osborne’s plans to electrify the ring fence separating retail and investment banking could give lenders a sharp shock in 2013. They will be forced to focus their energy on implementing drastic reforms, rather than on ways to improve lending levels and mortgage availability. And capital adequacy rules will leach away funds which could be used to jumpstart the first-time buyer market. There are also mounting fears over | {

I can immediately predict that this film will be widely loved in the next few decades, and people will remember 2011 as the year that Terrence Malick brought us The Tree of Life, which was met with polarizing reactions. Then, I'll be able to say that I saw it when I was 16 years old, and it was the first time I'd ever been wholly affected by a movie and realised that films can do things that films could never do before.

The authors identified nine spatial driving factors to measure their influence on the distribution of water conservation capacity on the entire region, plateaus, mountains, and plains. In terms of time, the authors explored the temporal interaction relationship between water conservation and its driving factors according to a spatial elastic coefficient trajectory model, which the authors established by combining logical coding and decoupling indicators. The authors selected precipitation, potential evapotranspiration, and land use asstrong land use, the regulation area of strong precipitation was relatively large. This showed that the sensitivity between precipitation and water conservation was relatively low, and the study area had the best effect on precipitation regulation. On the whole, the low‐sensitivity area occupied 23.049% of the study area, which was distributed mainly in the northwest plateau area, the Yanshan and Taihang Mountains, and the eastern coastal area. These regions held a stronger self‐regulation capacity in precipitation, potential evapotranspiration, and land use, to some extent, which proved the stability of water conservation capacity in these areas. The high‐sensitivity area occupied 53.773% of the study area, which indicated that water conservation capacity was sensitive to changes in precipitation, potential evapotranspiration, and land use in the entire region.
