text: On 12 October 1492 Columbus discovered the New World. In the following decade a number of Spanish colonies were founded in the West Indies, many of the settlers being ex-soldiers. They were a hardy, adventurous and unruly crew, no longer able to find suitable employment in Europe. They carved a foothold for Spain in the Indies, but quickly became restless in the role of settler. Anxious to avoid the dull work of the administrators and planters, these men began to seek new territories to exploit, once again turning their faces towards the unknown. This title documents both the Conquistadores themselves, and their formidable enemies in the New World - the Aztecs, Incas and Maya.

With the help of the web just about everything is possible today. Using the services of a vehicle transport firm is one of these. An easy search shows you all the companies inside the El Dorado, AR region. Moreover, the quotes are generally right there for buyers to compare and contrast, so it's simple to find a car transport business in El Dorado to suit the demands. Do not forget that sometimes paying less at the start means a lot of trouble in the long run.
Although time is critical, do not ignore crucial aspects while you do your investigation. You have to find a firm which provides the services you're looking for at a decent price. Which could be quite difficult, particularly if you're in need of something more unusual. Online reviews are a fantastic place to start your investigation. People usually tell everything you should know.
After all the hard work has been accomplished, it's time for the booking. After you receive your verification email, the internet part has ended. Remember that you then have to set up your car for transportation. Get all of your stuff out of the car. If you don't do that, the car shipping firm isn't liable in case your things go missing or damaged. Another thing to bear in mind would be to empty your gas tank. Using this method the load gets lighter, the company saves money on gas and you spend a lot less for their assistance. One more suggestion may be to wash your automobile so that you'll see just about any dent or scratch that could occur during the transportation.
Don't forget to requests the carrier driver to check the automobile at the pick up. A duplicate of the vehicle condition report with all the notes should be provided to you. Do not throw it away until the transportation is finished. Moreover, carry out another check for damages when your automobile arrives. If you find damages that were not there, ask the carrier for a signed condition report.
Anything you have to transport from El Dorado, AR, you will find the right firm to help you. All you need to do is research the current market, compare the cost and don't pay in advance.

EXTRACT FROM A POEM ON THE DEATH OF GEN. WASHINGTON.
Why strikes the bell a sad and mournful tone?
From heaving breaths why bursts the struggling groan?
Why weeps the Genius of our Western clime?
Does aught portentious mark the present time?
Fill every breast, and hence a world in tears.
And shades with sable wing a foreign land.
And plant his glories on the wreck of fame.
And standards mourn beneath a foreign sky.
And fly the daz’ling beauties of the Sun.
Napoleon Bonaparte spreading terror through Europe.
Napoleon desires colonial empire in America.
The origin of the tale from which this pantomime was adopted is sufficient curious. It was about the year 1870 that a French actor, of equal talent and wealth, named Thevenard, in passing through the streets of Paris, observed upon a cobler’s stall, the shoe of a female, which struck him by the remarkable smallness of its size. After admiring it for some time he returned to the house; but his thoughts reverted to the shoe with such intensity, that he reappeared at the stall the next day; but the cobler could give no other clue to the owner than that it had been left in his absence for the purpose of being repaired. Day after day did Thevenard return to his post to watch the reintegration of this slipper, which proceeded slowly; nor did the proprieter appear to claim it. Although he had completed the sixtieth year of his ae, so extravagant became his passion for the unknown fair one, that he became (were it possible for a Frenchman at that day to be so) melancholy and miserable. His pain was, however, somewhat appeased by the avater of the little foot itself, appertaining to a pretty and youthful girl in the very humblest class of life. All distinctions were leveled at once by love. The actor sought the parents of the female, procured their consent to the match, and actually made her his wife.

NEW YORK – Sticker Shock The Fed may deny it, but Americans know that prices are rising. In this week’s Newsweek, Niall Ferguson takes a look at the Great Inflation of the 2010s.
I respect Bernanke. As an expert on the financial history of the 1930s, he was one of the very few people in power back in 2008 who grasped how close we were to another Great Depression. But if we’ve avoided rerunning the 1930s only to end up with a repeat of the 1970s, the public will judge him to have failed….
…maybe inflation expectations started shifting when the guy from Goldman—a Marie Antoinette for our times—seemed to say: let them eat iPads!
With May Day comes the annual moving proposition. It carries with it the usual annoyance of shifting your abode, for what would the first day of May come to if we didn’t continue the practice of moving? Beautiful May, all except the inconvenience of moving – a custom that won’t live down.
CHICAGO, May 24. — May Day moving here set a new record for the period of the housing shortage, according to the requests for changes to telephone and gas companies. More than 3,000 changes daily were asked of a gaslight and coke company before the yearly exodus to new homes. This is 50 per cent higher than 1921.
J.S. Waterfield, Chicago Real Estate board said the “own your own home” idea is responsible for hundreds of the movings.
CHICAGO, May 1. — Thousands of families in Chicago went on a “rent strike” today and refused to vacate their apartments in accordance with May Day moving orders, H.S. Standish, president of the Chicago Tennants’ Protective League, asserted.
Mr. Standish predicted that 10,000 tenants would defy efforts of landlords to evict them.
Some of the disputes would be settled by arbitration, Mr. Standish said, but others would be carried into court for jury trials.
NEW YORK, May 1. Two men are largely responsible for starting in this state the anti-rent profiteering crusade which, unless the laws are finally thrown out by the courts, has limited landlords to 25 per cent increases.
One of them is not even a New Yorker. His name is James F. Gannon, Jr., and he is city commissioner of Jersey City.
The other no longer hold any official post. His name is Nathan Hirsch and he was formerly chairman of the Mayor’s Committee on Rent Profiteering.
It was Hirsch’s committee — and largely Hirsch himself — who first came to the aid of the victims or rent profiteers. Before this persons who objected to extortionate rent increases were called “Bolsheviki.” Hirsch had little real authority, but he used what he had with good effect.
The result was that any number of cases were compromised last year by the landlords, and tenants were enable to stay on by paying only moderate increases in rent. A strong public sentiment was built up to oppose rent hogs.
Hirsch was serving without pay and when the appropriation he asked to continue the committee’s work was refused he resigned.
Then came Gannon. Early this year he engineered the biggest rent strike ever conducted and won it. Thousands of tenants with the city’s backing, refused to pay unreasonable rent increases and won in the courts.
This woke New York up. If Jersey City can do it, why can’t we? was the comment. The result was a wave of popular sentiment that swept everything before it and resulted in the enactment by the Legislature of a dozen laws to protect the tenant, the most important of which is the measure limiting rent increases to 25 per cent.
The month of May, when poets sing of roses and meadows decked with green, is, in the vicinity of New York, the flitting time for half the world — or has been. Fortunes are changing and even the May moving day, so long sacred to New Yorkers, is giving way before the iconoclastic spirit of the age. Enough, and more than enough of it, is left however. The removals of the great annual flitting time, often useless, often undertaken without clear reason than that restlessness so peculiar to American life, must cost the people of New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City, directly and indirectly, not less than $3,000,000 in actual money outlay, to say nothing of personal discomfort. Moving time entails an endless train f discomforts and disorders. It means a clear month’s comfort gone out of the year in preparing for the move and getting over it; is the direct cause of broken furniture not a little, of wrecked tempers by the thousands and of much actual suffering.
But moving day is not what it used to be. People who move in spring are beginning to discount it by removing at any time during the latter part of April, so that the first of May no longer resembles the fag end of a furniture dealer’s nightmare so much as it did. The real estate agents, too, have conspired against moving day. Not that the agents want people to stay where they are and forswear change. By no means. The more removals the more commissions for the agents. It is to increase their own profits and those of the owners that such strenuous efforts have been made, and with much success, to substitute October for May as the moving time. Many landlords now let houses from October to October, and more are anxious to do so. The reason is that a good many people of moderate means, whose only hope of getting wives and babies into the country for the summer is to stop paying rent, and have been in the habit of giving up their houses on May 1, storing the furniture, packing off the family and seeking board until October, when the city residence could be safely resumed in another quarter. This arrangement was fine for the tenants, but it was bad for the owners and agents, consequently it had to be stopped. And it is being stopped.
The following unjustifiable case of landlord oppression is one of the many cases which May day moving has developed in Jersey City: — A widow named Jane Meara, with her five children, occupied a small store in Prospect street, near Morgan. The property changed hands, and as a consequence the widow was doomed; but her lease had not expired and she held a receipt for the rent of the premises, paid in advance, for the month of May. Under these circumstances the poor woman felt secure, at least for the present; but on May day, during her absence, her furniture and goods were thrown out of doors, and when she returned to her house she found the premises so locked and fastened that ingress was impossible, while every article of her household goods was drenched with rain on the sidewalk. She at once proceeded to Justice McAnally, who very humanely allowed her the use of a house for herself and her children till she can procure other quarters, as this was the only relief he could afford in the case. The woman has commenced a suit against the new proprietor, laying damages at $10,000.
First of May — Moving Day.
There was not as much moving yesterday as is common upon the last of April — pretty good evidence that landlords generally were wise enough to fall somewhat from their old rates of rent, and so far accommodate tenants that they could afford to keep their old premises another year. Whoever is abroad to day, however, will be disposed to think there never was so much moving before. It will begin early — before some of us are up, no doubt, and it will continue late. The sidewalks will be worse obstructed in every street than Wall-street is where the Brokers are in full blast. Old beds and ricketty bedstands, handsome pianos and kitchen furniture, will be chaotically huddled together. Everything will be in a muddle. Everybody in a hurry, smashing mirrors in his haste, and carefully guarding boot boxes from harm. Sofas that go out sound will go in maimed, tables that enjoyed castors will scratch along and “tip” on one less than its complement. Bed-screws will be lost in the confusion, and many a good piece of furniture badly bruised in consequence. Family pictures will be sadly marred, and the china will be a broken set before night, in many a house. All houses will be dirty — never so dirty — into which people move, and the dirt of the old will seem enviable beside the cleanliness of the new. The old people will in their hearts murmur at these moving dispensations. the younger people, though aching in every bone, and “tired to death,” will relish the change, and think the new closets more roomy and more nice, and delight themselves fancying how this piece of furniture will look here and that piece in the other corner. The still “younger ones” will still more enjoy it. Into the cellar and upon the roof, into the rat-holes and on the yard fence, into each room and prying into every cupboard, they will make reprisals of many things “worth saving,” and mark the day white in their calendar, as little less to be longed for in the return than Fourth of July itself.
Keep your tempers, good people. Don’t growl at the carmen nor haggle over the price charged. When the scratched furniture comes in don’t believe it is utterly ruined, — a few nails, a little glue, a piece of putty, and a pint of varnish will rejuvenate many articles that will grow very old ‘twixt morning and night, and undo much of the mischief that comes of moving, and which at first sight seems irreparable.
At night, after you have kindled a fire in the grate, — don’t, because you have cleaned house, make your house a tomb for dampness, nor let the children shiver through the evening, — after the tea things have been set aside, be sure to take one peep of the moon in her eclipse. Nor stay too long to look at her, for her exhibition begins rather late, and you should be up early next day to tack down the carpets, set the furniture to rights and make a home of your new house. Moreover, if it rains or is very cloudy, take our advice and don’t look at the eclipse — it’s no great affair after all.
The prospective May Queen said.
May 1, 1589 — Queen Elizabeth is Queen of May, catches cold, and has the snuffles all day.
May 1, 1755 — Moving day, Dr. Johnson evicted for non-payment of rent.
Dramatic Author — I understand that you are looking for a new play.
Manager — Yes, but I am very hard to suit. I want a play which shall combine all the elements of tragedy, comedy, farce, pantomime and spectacle.
I thought the May Day moving had petered out in the 1920s, but evidently it was still going strong in Pennsylvania as late as the 1940s!

Just to clarify, a staging branch is a branch where all feature branches get to be merged to both show the progress to the client and test if multiple features play well together. Resolving conflicts in this stage is much more easier on your nerves than finding about them just after you ran git merge feature-branch on a master branch.
All is fine and good, but some of those feature branches will never make to the master because feature got cancelled, or whatever else reason. These branches pollute our staging branch and actually might cause bugs, wrong code behaviour or inability to test a feature.
And this is it. Your new staging branch is clean, fresh and has only branches that are actual and will be pushed live.

Drug Free, Anxiety Free is a complete guide and workbook to analyze and treat anxiety without the use of prescribed medication. Author Renee Mill specialises in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), the gold standard of treating stress, anxiety and depression and has developed a 90-day, drug free program designed to literally rewire the brain, reinforcing positive thinking and emotional strength. CBT is based on the premise that feelings and responses are determined by an individual?s perception of events, rather than the reality. As a Clinical Psychologist and Occupational Therapist with over 30 years of experience, Renee has seen just how crippling anxiety can be. For example, an anxious patient might perceive a traffic jam, delaying them from an important meeting, as a severely stressful situation that will result in permanent damage to their career. Another, who does not experience anxiety might simply pick up the phone, call ahead and inform that they will be a few minutes late. Drug Free, Anxiety Free includes several diagrams, activities, planners and worksheets to teach anxiety sufferers the skills to calmly assess a situation, recognize and then challenge their automatic thought process and behavior. Based on the latest professional research, Renee presents her patients with the most useful and relevant information in practical and common sense terms. Renee Mill runs her own private practice in Sydney, delivering effective counselling to individuals, couples, parents and families.

This will comprise of each League winner plus the 9 best second Placed Team based on their Points Per Game totals.
As we can see we have some improvements to be made if we are to see two sides make the step up as we once again see how strong the SCEFL is throughout compared to other Leagues across the country.
No more than 38 Clubs will be promoted from Step 7. Where the eligible Clubs count does not reach 38 in number, reprieves of Step 6 Clubs shall come into effect on a points per game basis. For example, if 34 teams come up from Step 7 instead of the maximum of 38, then the 4 clubs with the best PPG averages will be reprieved.
Below is a spreadsheet showing current PPG totals for Step 6 sides across the country.
Here is a summary of the current Promotion and Relegation picture involving the teams in our Premier and First Divisions.
Quite simply, only the title winners get promoted and with less than two weeks to go there are 4 teams in the hunt for this prize. Corinthian are in the driving seat but there are sure to be lots of twists and turns to come before the Season ends on the 27th April.
Two sides will get relegated from the Premier Division this Season. One will be Croydon, but who will be joining them on their journey to Step 6?
The Title winners will be promoted to Step 5 alongside the second placed team as long as their Points Per Game average is in the top 9 of the 19 second placed finishers in the Step 6 Leagues across the country. Teams folding higher up in the pyramid will see this number increase so the FA will confirm the successful sides after the season has ended. Our own updated spreadsheet trying to explain it all further can be viewed here which currently shows that there could be an issue for us with our League being so competitive and tight.
Bridon Ropes have just taken over at the top after Welling Town had led all season. Will it remain that way or will there be more twists and turns to come?
The bottom two teams will be up for relegation from the First Division. Teams could potentially survive if there are not enough sides coming up from Step 7 to take their place. Once again Points Per Game decides this and the current spreadsheet can be found here. Whatever happens, the aim has to be to not finish 17th or 18th.
The relegation battle currently appears to be between three teams.
The situation has been made more complicated by the withdrawal of Phoenix Sports Reserves for next season but that may not mean a reprieve for any team in the bottom two so finish 16th or higher if you want to stay safe!
I will keep this article here and update it as games get played so we are all informed of the complicated Promotion and Relegation scene across the SCEFL!
With thanks to Alan Heath for the updated spreadsheets!

Types of Connection, Normally circuits exceeding two elements have two basic kinds of connections: parallel and series. A series circuit is frequently a circuit where components are connected along just 1 route, therefore the present flows through one part to reach the next one. In a series circuit, voltages add around for all those components attached inside the circuit, and currents are exactly the same through all components. In a parallel circuit, every device is directly connected to the power supply, so every device gets the identical voltage. The present in a really parallel circuit flows across each parallel branch also re-combines once the branches meet again.
Tips to Draw Good-looking Wiring Diagrams, A fantastic wiring diagram has to be technically correct and clear to see. Be careful of all the info. For instance, the diagram should demonstrate the very best direction from the positive and negative terminals of each component. Use the correct symbols. Learn the significance in the basic circuit symbols and judge the best ones to use. Some of the symbols have really close look. You have to discover a means to tell the differences before employing them. Draw connecting wires as direct lines. Use a dot to tip line intersection, or use line jumps to signify cross lines which are not linked. Label components such as resistors and capacitors making use of the values. Make certain that the text placement appears clean. In general it is a good idea to put the positive (+) supply to the top, along with the negative (-) source at the base, in addition to the logical stream from left to right. Attempt to clean up the placement reducing wire crossings.

We spend most of our time indoors. Whether at work or at home, we don’t have enough time or the flexibility to connect with nature.
That’s what “biophilic design” is all about. It’s about incorporating natural elements into your workspace and home so you can be surrounded by nature even when you are indoors most of the day.
Sustainable design elements such as daylighting and outdoor views are one toolset we commonly use to accomplish this, but new studies show that the interior design community can have an even greater influence on quality of life by embracing biophilia —our intrinsic human fondness for, and connection to, nature. Built environments that deprive occupants of this essential bond are flirting with premature obsolescence.
At the heart of biophilia is a need, deeply encoded within our DNA, for connection to the natural world. That includes sunlight, trees and flowers, and natural materials like wood, sand, leaves and stone. But just as deeply encoded is our intrinsic response to representations of these elements.
1. Natural light is the life source of any space. Sure, artificial lighting can make up for a lack of natural sunlight, but it is certainly not optimal. Including large windows that let in ample sunlight and that give people a view of the outdoors will impact overall well-being and energy levels.
2. Designing an interior space with materials such as wood and stone are a great way to mimic the outdoors. Wood and stone are everywhere in nature and using these materials will give the occupants of a space the feeling of being closer to nature.
3. If you want to include biophilic design trends in the spaces you’re designing, you shouldn’t shy away from colors, especially natural ones. Use more vibrant and warmer colors, even if it’s just for an accent wall or decor items. Most interior design software and office design software have built-in color palettes you can use in your designs.

text: Over the past ten years, Chinese companies and policy banks have steadily invested and lent hundreds of billions of dollars in Latin America's oil and gas sector. China's leaders have been pressured to secure energy resources because of stagnating domestic oil production coupled with rapid growth in consumption. Latin America's growing proven oil reserves have made it an attractive partner for China. The rise in capital flowing from China to the energy sector in Latin America, plus the lack of transparency around the deals however, has led to a rise in myths about the true motivation behind China's intentions. This report seeks to uncover the facts of Chinese investment and lending deals in the Latin American energy sector, explains what is reality and what are myths, and provides pointed recommendations of how all parties can help shape a better energy cooperation.

"He has chosen his side -- the religious extremists. The people who really do not believe that gay and lesbian Hoosiers should be entitled to equal rights. And he is certainly entitled to do that, but I think politically it was suicide," said Sheila Suess Kennedy, a professor at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis and former director of the Indiana Civil Liberties Union.
"He clearly sides with the evangelical side of the issue, but I think he left the door open a little," Helmke said. "I think it does put the business community on notice that he's leaning more the other way, but there's still possibly a chance they can get something through."
"He didn't give any sort of indication he's eager to sign a civil rights bill and that means it's back to the legislature, and we'll see what they do. Boy, when a governor sends a signal he's not favorably disposed to changing the law, it doesn't seem to suggest that the Republican supermajority is going to go through a lot of exertion to pass a bill with an uncertain future," said Robert Dion, an University of Evansville professor.
"I thought he was more clear on the religious freedom element than I've heard him say before," said House Speaker Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis. "He set some very clear parameters in that regard."
Senate President Pro Tempore David Long, R-Fort Wayne, said he took Pence's comments as a threat to veto any bill that didn't include protections for religious beliefs. But Long added that he didn't believe that would present a problem for the bills now being debated.
"The two Senate Republican bills do deal strongly with religious freedom as well as civil rights," he said.
As Johnson sees it, laws that protect LBGT rights would mean "people's religious beliefs, and in particular here Christianity and Christian beliefs, become criminalized, because if you believe what the Bible says about sexuality, you are now a bigot. That's what the law tells you -- that it is a terrible thing for people of faith who simply respectfully disagree with the LGBT community."
In the Indianapolis Artsgarden, a crowd of about 100 LGBT rights supporters with Freedom Indiana who gathered to watch the televised speech expressed disappointment but said they weren't surprised by Pence's comments.
"Leadership starts at the top, and there's not been leadership anywhere," said Samantha Buente, 30, of Evansville.
James Freeman, a 27-year-old veteran from Indianapolis who is gay, said Pence's comments that people should not be harassed because of who they love were "sugarcoating" for a speech that emphasized religious freedom.
"While that sounds nice, don't mistake the real meaning of what he said," Freeman said, adding that "religious belief is not a synonym for discrimination."
At the watch party, the final words of Pence's speech were drowned out by a chant of "Pence must go!"
"Mike Pence doesn't 'abhor discrimination' -- he actively promotes it," party spokesman Drew Anderson said in a statement.

CARACAS, April 16 (Reuters) - Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido will seek to annul an $8.7 billion arbitration award to U.S. oil producer ConocoPhillips as he moves to preserve foreign assets, Guaido’s chief legal representative said on Tuesday.
If accepted, the annulment request would halt enforcement of the award over the 2007 loss of Conoco’s projects in the South American country. It would follow a March decision by the World Bank’s International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) to impose the largest arbitration award against Venezuela.
Conoco would see no merit in a request for “annulment or rectification” and would “strongly defend” against such requests, company spokesman Daren Beaudo said.
George Kahale, a U.S. attorney who represented the Venezuelan government before the World Bank tribunal, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Venezuela’s information ministry also had no immediate response to a request for comment.
An annulment would be a boost to Guaido, who in January invoked a constitutional provision to assume an interim presidency. Backed by the United States and dozens of other countries, Guaido argues President Nicolas Maduro’s 2018 re-election was illegitimate. Hernandez has been assigned to protect Venezuela’s assets abroad from possible seizure by creditors.
Cash-strapped Venezuela has balked at paying in other arbitration cases. Conoco has used legal seizures of Venezuelan oil assets to enforce earlier claims. Other creditors are attempting to seize shares in U.S. refiner Citgo Petroleum, Venezuela’s prize overseas asset, to collect on debts.
It was unclear if Guaido’s representatives have standing to challenge the award since the World Bank has not recognized Guaido. The World Bank did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
David Malpass, the newly named president of the World Bank, said last week that recognition would be up to its shareholders.
Last month, a U.S. judge ruled that Guaido’s representatives could present arguments in a court battle with Canadian mining company Crystallex, which is pursuing Citgo to collect on an arbitration award in compensation for Venezuela’s expropriation of a gold mining project.

Scrutiny: Farah Khan replaces Salman Khan as a host of Bigg Boss 8?..
Farah Khan replaces Salman Khan as a host of Bigg Boss 8?..
We reported earlier that Colors' much talked reality show got an extension of 4 weeks. The show which was supposed to wrap up on January 4, 2015 will now end in January end or February first week.
Host Salman Khan is not happy with this development, also his contract with channel will expire in January and he is not in mood to extend it. That's why channel decided to replace him.
According to our sources, "Salman Khan is shooting in the interiors of Rajastan for his upcoming film Bajrangi Bhaijaan , so he won't be able to give dates for Bigg Boss. Now the channel approached Farah Khan to take over as the host of Bigg Boss season 8."
ALSO READ : Bigg Boss 8 got an extension of 4 weeks? Ex-contestants to enter as a wild card?
Our source further added, "We have already informed the inmates about the extension and they are okay with this new development."
The makers of Bigg Boss also approached Karan Johar and Anil Kapoor to replace Salman, but they refused to host the reality show. Later they approached Farah, who agreed to come on board.
Though there has been no official confirmation as yet, but it would be interesting to see Farah Khan as the host of the Bigg Boss.
OH NO WHY THEY WANT TO EXTEND IT?????????

Volumes 1 and 2 of our various artists compilations spanned all corners of the globe and provided some fantastic sounds. For Volume 3 we’ve stayed closer to home and delivered a substantial range of tracks that are all products of Scotland. In sticking with the theme of the previous compilations, the sounds are as eclectic as ever. Music from Alpha Skies, Dreamland Fantasy, Nova Noma, Gregor Garnutsi and many more.
This is my submission for The Piano Cloud’s Haiku Challenge.
Artwork by John William Waterhouse. This artwork is in the public domain.
It was just recently brought to my attention that some people were having difficulties posting comments to this site. Hopefully that issue has now been resolved, but if anyone is still having issues they can leave a message using the contact form.
This is my contribution for the second stage of the Piano Cloud‘s Wedding Challenge part 3 (Something Borrowed). This part of the challenge involved “borrowing” someone else’s piece of music (submitted during the previous stage) and doing our own interpretation of it.
This was an experiment to see if I could display text within a spectrogram. I used Spectrasonics’ Omnisphere synth to generate sine waves at various frequencies to construct the characters. I used Renoise to program the letters, numbers, etc. as individual patterns and then sequenced these patterns to form words. iZotope’s Insight was used as the spectrogram.

I was invited to share a portion of my story in the recently-released documentary, John Paul II in Ireland: A Plea for Peace, a historically-rooted film narrated by Jim Caviezel exploring the seeds of peace sowed by the late saint in my native country during his landmark 1979 visit. Participating in this project crystalized my belief, after all these years, that words spoken by JPII helped to change the course of the history of a nation and, as in my case, the lives of many of its citizens, by penetrating deeply into hearts.
I was in prison for IRA London bombings for four years before Pope John Paul II’s visit to Ireland, September 1979, and for ten more years after his visit.
Between 1976 and 1978 and during a period of fourteen months of solitary confinement, I had undergone a most unexpected conversion back to my Catholic faith and had explored the meaning of repentance for a teenager who had planted time bombs and sent letter bombs and had injured many people.
Struck by Mt 5:23-24, I had decided to write letters of apology to my victims but both the prison authorities and the Government initially denied permission for my apologies; there was no such thing as a repentant terrorist or conversions for terrorist sinners. It was all a ruse, they said, to get out of prison early.
After a year-long battle, I got permission to apologize to my victims and I also penned a letter to the press in Ireland calling on the IRA to end its immoral and unnecessary armed struggle but, for all that, no one believed in my change of heart. I was, they said, a con artist.
Within a year of these momentous changes in my life, Pope John Paul II became the first pope to visit Ireland. There, the world-famous spiritual leader who had struggled against totalitarian communism in his native Poland, joined Ireland’s struggle against murderous paramilitary violence and called on terrorists to lay down their guns and bombs.
Pope John Paul II called on Catholics, Christians and people of goodwill to work for peace and justice. But he also highlighted the need for interior conversion of heart and for people to struggle to follow Jesus Christ in their daily lives. The Gospel values, however unpopular at different times, were the sure signposts to salvation.
After the pope’s momentous visit and the sight of more than 2.5 million Irish people converging to hear his words, I noticed from my London prison cell a dramatic change both in how my own recent conversion began to be viewed but also in how Irish people began to be treated in England.
Suddenly, the language of repentance and conversion had new currency. Suddenly, it did not seem ridiculous to hope for the deep and sincere conversion of sinners. Suddenly, in the south east of England and in the great capital of London, Catholicism and religious faith were no longer ridiculed.
In only a few days, Pope John Paul II had woven into everyday parlance the power of Christ’s Gospel to change the world and had created a mindset in which my own dramatic conversion could now seem plausible.
A whole raft of people – those brave members of the House of Commons and House of Lords who visited me in prison, alongside prominent lawyers and churchmen including Cardinal Basil Hume – supported me for many years thereafter.
Bishop Edward Daly of Derry, made famous on Bloody Sunday when he was filmed waving a white handkerchief while facing gunfire from British Army paratroopers, visited me and gave me the medallion Pope John Paul had personally given to him as a memento of his visit.
Thus, my own conversion was forever united to the pope’s call for paramilitaries to lay down their arms, to repent and to be converted. I lived to see the many changes begun by the pope’s historic visit to Ireland.
Shane O’Doherty, a former member of the IRA who carried out bombings in England, being interviewed for the film “John Paul II IN Ireland: A Plea For Peace”.
As Ireland witnesses its second papal visit, I have great hope that the course of history can again be changed by ushering in the renewal of faith in Ireland. For many, especially younger generations, this process can get a helpful boost by watching Naglieri’s documentary film and seeing how substantial change can happen, even in the most complicated contexts, over time.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but Urban Meyer is stepping down from his head coaching gig, in part because of his health and in part because he wants to spend more time with family. He even might consider doing some TV! So obviously the only thing to do now is speculate on where he’s going to coach next. USC? Notre Dame? Auburn? North Dakota State???
This morning’s Yahoo Sports report (Meyer-sympathetic enough to safely assume it’s coming from Meyer himself) says Meyer will coach one last game for Ohio State, the Jan. 1 Rose Bowl against Washington, before handing the reins to Ryan Day, the 39-year-old offensive coordinator who ran the team during Meyer’s suspension for mishandling and potentially covering up.the domestic violence allegations against assistant Zach Smith.
A simultaneous report from Cleveland.com dwells on Meyer’s health problems. He had surgery in 2014 to treat a congenital cyst in his brain, but the headaches (potentially stress related) have returned at times in recent years. It’s all very reminiscent of Meyer resigning as Florida head coach in 2009 due to chest pains, returning the next season, then retiring in 2010 and sitting out one full season before joining the Buckeyes.
Meyer’s time in Columbus has been a success. In seven seasons the Buckeyes have gone 82-9, including 54-4 in conference play. They won a national title in 2014 and have three Big Ten championships, and, not for nothing, have gone 7-0 against Michigan. But Ohio State has failed to make the College Football Playoff two straight years after getting blown out 31-0 by Clemson in the 2016–17 Fiesta Bowl. So here we go again.

View Full Version : So anyone got PLG IK working on the Mac ?
On one level they must be working because the example scenes work, and you can sometimes delete and reapply it in the examples scenes ok apparently. Not always.
But when you go to do it yourself in a blank scene with a few bones (or in a new chain in the example scenes), PLG IK Top (that you put on the top of your IK chain) works, but PLG IK (that you put on the children) is as dead as a dodo. It's just not doing anything and your goal just won't rotate those bones at all.
That was pretty much the same for PLG curve bone, except somehow I got that working in the end, but PLG IK just will not work on bone chains you create yourself apparently.
In a nutshell what is so great about plg ik anyway ?, other than its faster, is that right ? I notice bones don't report any rotation info back when they have plg ik on them.

RICHMOND | Corporate titans, well-connected lobbyists and staunch conservatives share Republican Gov.-elect Robert F. McDonnell’s transition team with some Democrats.
Some who now sit on McDonnell transition work groups even held senior positions in the administrations of Democratic governors present and past.
The number of people advising the conservative Mr. McDonnell in 13 different policy areas before his Republican administration takes over Jan. 16 stood at 300 as of Thursday afternoon, with additions still coming.
Politically, they range from Delegate Adam Ebbin, Alexandria Democrat, Virginia’s first openly gay legislator, to Victoria Cobb, president of the socially conservative Family Foundation. Also on the list is Ben Marchi, Virginia coordinator for Americans for Prosperity, which organizes “tea party” rallies against Democratic initiatives such as the federal stimulus program and health and energy reform bills still before Congress.
Corporate power is represented. Thomas F. Farrell II, chief executive of Virginia’s dominant power utility, Dominion, is a transition team leader. He and Mr. McDonnell are childhood friends. Other notable names from the business world include former Landmark Communications chief executive John O. “Dubby” Wynne and Black Entertainment Television co-founder Sheila C. Johnson.
Mr. Wynne and Ms. Johnson were generous campaign donors to Mr. McDonnell, but both have also given to Democratic candidates or committees, illustrating how business and corporate donors can drift between parties depending on the nominee.
This year, Mr. Wynne gave Mr. McDonnell’s campaign $50,000, according to the Virginia Public Access Project, a nonprofit and nonpartisan tracker of cash in Virginia state politics. But he also gave $25,000 to Moving Virginia Forward, a Virginia political action committee controlled by Gov. Tim Kaine, the Democratic National Committee chairman. And in 2002, Mr. Wynne served on a government efficiency study group appointed by former Democratic Gov. Mark Warner and headed by former Gov. L. Douglas Wilder, also a Democrat.
*James W. Beamer, who lobbies for Dominion Resources, serves on Mr. McDonnell’s natural resources work group.
*Stephen A. Horton, whose clients include Verizon and multinational health care and personal services provider ResCare, advises Mr. McDonnell’s health and human services work group.
*Michael Woods, whose clients include insurers, Carmax and beer brewer Anheuser-Busch, advises the transportation work group.
*May Fox, who represents health care clients, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and a major liquor manufacturer, is on the administration work group.
The transition team is a who’s who of important GOP names.
Mr. McDonnell, attorney general from 2006 until this winter, included his two immediate predecessors, Republicans Jerry W. Kilgore and Mark L. Earley, on public safety work groups. Unlike Mr. McDonnell, they fell short in their efforts to jump from attorney general to governor.
The team also includes Frank Atkinson, a veteran Republican strategist and author of two books on the GOP ascendancy in Virginia, and Ken Hutcheson, who managed Mr. Kilgore’s 2005 gubernatorial campaign.
Mr. McDonnell had named 28 current Republican state legislators and half that many Democrats to his work groups as of Thursday.

What should you do if you’ve been bitten by a dog?
Depending on the severity of your injury, you should immediately call the police, who will send Animal Control to the scene. The Animal Control officers will try to determine ownership of the biting dog and whether the dog is current on its vaccinations. If the dog is not current or if this information cannot immediately be determined, the dog should be put in quarantine.
Having an Animal Control bite report will be important to win your case. The report will identify the breed of dog, the owner’s name, your description of what happened and the disposition of the animal, which is important in proving your case.
After calling the police, we recommend that you immediately seek medical attention. Even if you think it’s something that might go away in a week or two, you should seek medical attention so you can document the injury for insurance purposes. Even a minor wound can become infected from the bacteria in a dog’s saliva.
Of course, if you have a cell phone or camera available, take photos of the dog and your injury. You may need the photographs later to ID the animal or to show the severity of the wound at the time it occurred.
How much compensation can you get for a dog bite?
A dog bite case is similar to any other negligence case – whether it be a car accident or other type of personal injury matter – you’re entitled to your medical bills, lost wages, and compensation for your pain and suffering, which is usually past pain and suffering and future pain and suffering, if you’re left with a permanent injury. The amount of the compensation will be determined by the severity of your injury. Our course, the amount of the compensation may be limited by the liability limits on the insurance policy of the dog owner’s homeowner’s insurance.
Homeowner’s insurance covers the injuries caused by a homeowner’s dog. Most homeowner’s insurance policies have liability in the sum of between somewhere $100,000 to $300,000. If there is a mortgage on a home, the chances are there is a valid homeowner’s policy. However, if the owner of the dog is a renter, they may very well likely not have insurance coverage to pay for the injuries caused by their dog. With renter’s we have to look and see if they have purchased renter’s insurance which would cover the claim.
That’s one of the first things we do when a new case comes on. We’ll research and look up the owner of the home to see if it’s the same person that owns that dog, and then send a letter to the owner of the dog advising them of their liability, and advising them that it’s probably in their best interest to contact their homeowner’s insurance carrier and/or forward that information to us so we can do that on their behalf.
If a dog bite occurs and the dog’s owner is a renter and does not have the insurance coverage, would a dog bite victim then tap into their own health insurance policy for treatment?
North Carolina health insurance is always primary in an accident claim, other than workers’ comp. Workers’ comp provides medical insurance. But a normal car accident, dog bite claim, or any other type of personal injury in North Carolina, you always file with your health insurance first, since the insurance carrier for the at-fault party does not pay anything until the final settlement, which could be anywhere from three months to two years down the road – depending on whether or not litigation is instituted.
So you want to get your health insurance filed right away. If the owner of the dog does not have homeowner’s or renter’s insurance to pay for the claim, you can be stuck with the medical bills. At least if you have health insurance coverage, your medical bills will be paid.
Can you pursue a claim against a landlord?
There’s a case out there that – I’m not sure if it would apply to every situation, but there’s a case out there with limited circumstances where the landlord was held responsible, and I believe it’s because he knew or should have known that the tenant had a vicious dog, and it had attacked before. This is very difficult to prove.
How is compensation from a dog bite determined?
Well, as we discussed earlier, it’s based on the amount of the medical bills, the severity of the injury, the type of treatment received, and whether or not there is permanent injury. Most dog bite victims will be left with a permanent scar. In that situation, depending on the severity of the scar or the type of doctor they’re treating with, we’ll have them see a plastic surgeon 6-12 months post attack to document the permanent nature of the wound or scar. At this juncture, the plastic surgeon will be able to give his opinion on the permanency of the scar if anything can be done to minimize the visibility of the scar or the appearance. We use the report of the plastic surgeon as part of the settlement process.
A lot of times, people suffer medical complications that arise from a dog bite, such as a staph infection or keloid scarring which will increase the settlement value of the claim.
What are the laws on dog bites in North Carolina?
With certain exceptions, North Carolina generally follows the one-bite rule – meaning, owners are generally not responsible for paying for damages from a dog bite unless their dog had previously bitten someone else, or they had reason to believe that their dog had a propensity toward violence, or if they had known or should have known that their dog was dangerous.
For example, certain dogs are bred for security or attack purposes – Pit bulls, Rottweilers, German shepherds, Chows; there’s a few more – and owners will be held liable for the general propensity of that breed.
Likewise, if a dog has previously been declared a dangerous dog by the municipality, an owner will be responsible. And that’s a good reason for contacting Animal Control. If that dog has bitten someone before and they reported it, they’ll have a record of it, and that will help prove your case. Even if there is no record, if that dog does bite again, the next person that’s bitten will be able to prove their case, based on the one-bite rule.
How do you make a claim for dog bite compensation?
Well, the hard part in a dog bite case is finding out if there is insurance on the owner of the dog. It’s not like an auto accident case – you obtain a copy of the police report which has the name of the insurance carrier and policy number. Generally what we have to do is send a letter to the owner of the animal, asking them to file a claim or send us a copy of the insurance policy or the name of their carrier and policy number so that we can file the claim on our client’s behalf.
Sometimes the owners of the dog will ignore the letter, and in those instances, we will have to file a lawsuit. Once the lawsuit is filed and you seek their discovery, they have to give the name of the insurance carrier and the policy limits. Hopefully, that can be avoided. The dog owner we usually file the claim once they receive a copy of our letter threatening lawsuit.
If a bite report has been filed with Animal Control, we will obtain a copy, and move forward with the claim. The client’s job, in this case, is to get treatment. We’ll handle everything else.
How willing are insurance companies to engage in settlement talks for dog bites, or would they prefer to battle you in court?
We have had success with dog bite claims and dealing with the insurance carriers. Of course, a lot of it depends on the type of dog and the severity of the injury, but a lot of time the homeowner’s insurance companies want to put this behind them. There are instances though where the insurance carrier may deny the claim, based on a number of factors – one of them being whether or not the dog had a dangerous propensity or had bitten before. Another fact would be whether or not the injured person contributed or was partially at fault. If they walk up and pet a dog without asking the homeowner, and it bites them, they very well may have assumed the risk and be contributory negligent, and under North Carolina law, recover nothing. You may also have a trespassing issue which could harm the claim.
But we’ve noticed, especially with young kids or bad bites, the insurance companies are willing to try and resolve the case as opposed of going to trial.
Who is liable for a dog bite?
The owner of the dog is liable. As long as the dog has previously bitten someone, the owner should have known the particular breed’s general propensities, or the dog has previously been declared a dangerous dog. In jurisdictions with a leash law, a dog owner could potentially be liable for injuries caused by their dog in violation of the leash law.
For example, the dog is running loose on other property or trespassing, the owner may be responsible, even though, the dog has never bitten before and was not a known dangerous bread. The dog owner’s negligence in failing to secure the animal would enough to prevail. We’ve had a number of cases where dogs have roamed another neighbor’s property and attacked children or – I had one case where an elderly woman was watering her flowers, and a giant, friendly Great Dane jumped up on her. She fell down and broke her hip. Obviously, the owner and his kids were negligent for letting the dog out of the yard and running loose.
So that’s a different type of dog situation. It was a friendly dog, but a little overly friendly, and they were negligent, so they were responsible.
The owner of the dog is responsible, but the landlord, who didn’t participate – we touched on that earlier – they’re not responsible, similar to the owner of a car. It has to be the person that was negligent and knew or should have known, and contributed to the dog biting the person.
Are there criminal penalties for a dog bite?
It’s a Class 1 misdemeanor if a dog attacks someone, and they incur more than $100 of medical treatment. You don’t see that charge that often, but other criminal penalties may apply if an owner directs a dog attack, and I guess, in that situation, you’d have to have witnesses to prove that, but it’s similar to any other type of assault and battery charge.
What are the dangerous dog laws in North Carolina?
Inflicting a bite on a person resulting in broken bones or disfiguring lacerations, or required cosmetic surgery or hospitalization, or if killed or inflicted severe injury upon a domestic animal when not on the owner’s real property, or has approached a person when not on the owner’s property in a vicious or terrorizing manner, in an apparent attitude of attack.
North Carolina law imposes strict liability on the owner of a dangerous dog for any injuries or property damage caused by that dangerous dog.
Can a dog bite case go to trial, and what factors contribute to that?
Yes. Like any other case, if the insurance company does not want to settle – let’s say they deny the case saying that your client is partially at fault, or they agree to the dog’s responsibility, the dog owner’s responsibility but they don’t want to pay the amount that you want, the case most likely will go to trial. It’s no different than any other case.
Does homeowner’s insurance cover my dog biting someone?
Most homeowner policies do cover dog bites. There are some insurance companies that exclude coverage for certain breeds of dogs. I’ve seen that before, but I’ve never dealt with that situation where one of my clients was injured by someone but the insurance company denied because of that, but they’re out there.
Do I need an attorney if I’ve been bitten by a dog?
With any type of personal injury case, we recommend that you get a lawyer to help you out. Studies have shown that victims or people injured in accidents, who received injuries, received a much higher settlement or award than those without representation. Every jurisdiction is different when it comes to the restraint of animals. Not all have leash laws, and dog bite cases are difficult to prove, and oftentimes, even more difficult to find insurance coverage.
Insurance carriers will always require a recorded statement of your client. Depending on how you word that statement or how you word the attack, you could kill your case if you slip up or characterize what happened in a certain way that allows the insurance company off the hook. It’s very important that we sit down with our clients to go over what happened, to make sure that they describe the occurrence to the insurance company in a way that doesn’t harm them under the law.
The insurance adjusters are trained to ask certain questions and get answers in a certain way to sort of trick our clients, or to trick the injured person, and to prove that they had been contributory negligent or even 1 percent at fault, that would allow the insurance company to deny their claim.
So it’s very important, in any case, especially a dog bite case where they’re going to require a statement, to make sure you sit down with someone to go over the case, and make sure that when you speak with the insurance company, you’re using the right legal terminology, and explaining the situation the way that they should hear it, not the way they want to hear it.
We’ve had a number of cases where the clients have come to us after they have given a recorded statement, but they worded it the way it happened in the wrong way, and it was taken in a different light, which allowed the insurance company to deny it. Some people think that they just go on and on and guess or say what might have happened, or what could have happened, or just go into other topics during their statement and they think that’s helping the insurance company, but in a sense, well, it is helping the insurance company. It’s helping them in some instances to deny their claim.
We’ve handled a lot of these cases over the years, we’re one of the few firms, I think, that even advertises dog bit claims – but now more firms are starting to do that. But, in any event, we’ve recovered – we settled one last week for $100,000 for a utility man who was at a residence, and attacked by a dog, and bitten very bad. The owner let the dog out, knowing full well that he was in the backyard, so they were negligent in that situation. We just had another one for $135,000 for a woman who was knocked down by a dog in her backyard and broke her hip. We had another one where a Rottweiler attacked a client, who had some bad bites on the leg and face. We have been very successful with dog bite claims and created a niche for our firm in that area of personal injury law.

Members of Congress will be accompanied by participating organizations and veterans. This press event in reaction to Rethink Afghanistan’s War I.O.U. campaign (www.RethinkAfghanistan.com). Rethink Afghanistan is a project of Brave New Foundation.
When: Thursday, April 14, from 2:30-3 p.m.
Online Action: Rethink Afghanistan’s new Afghanistan War Tax Calculator (http://rethinkafghanistan.com/iou) lets users see the impact of the Afghanistan War and other out-of-control military spending on their pocketbooks. Users can enter the amount of income they earned this year and receive an „I.O.U.‰ for the amount of their income taxes that get spent on war. The tool lets them forward their I.O.U. to Congress, urging representatives to rethink the excessive levels of war spending on the Afghanistan conflict and other ventures that are wrecking our federal budget.
More than 54,000 people have used the calculator to date.
Background: Tax Day is just around the corner (April 18), and the costs to the taxpayer from the Afghanistan War have never been higher. Total direct costs just for 2011 alone are expected to exceed $107 billion.
Rethink Afghanistan, together with a variety of other groups and elected officials from across the ideological spectrum (see below) is working to focus Americans‚ attention on excessive military spending on Afghanistan and other ventures and to put them in touch with their representatives in Congress.

COMMENTARY c/o Downsize DC.org, Inc.
CAN YOU AFFORD WARS OF CHOICE?
The U.S. is fighting three wars — in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya — even though we’re going broke.
Each is a “War of Choice,” not necessity. None of these countries threatens us. Afghanistan did host Al Qaeda, but that crime was punished years ago.
So how does the U.S. end up fighting “wars of choice?” Other countries don’t do this.
It’s true that Britain and France want to enforce a no-fly zone in Libya, but why do we have to participate? Britain and France have a combined population of 128 million, and rank 3rd and 4th in military spending –ahead of Russia.
By comparison, Libya has a population of only 6.4 million, the same as Indiana. Did we really need to be involved?
The world treats the U.S. like Daddy Warbucks because of the following disparities . . .
Although Britain and France have a large population density, combined they have only a little more than 40% of the U.S. population, and they spend only 2.5% and 2.3% percent of GDP on their military, compared to 4.3% for the U.S. In 2008, Britain and France combined spent less than a quarter of what we spent on the military.
Our biggest “competitor,” China, spends barely 1/7 of our military budget, and less than half in terms of GDP. China and India combined — with one-third of the world’s population – spend less on their military than Britain and France combined, which is less than a quarter of what the U.S. spends.
In fact, the United States accounts for 48% of the entire world’s military spending!
While other countries may have large armies – a man with a gun is cheaper than the sophisticated hardware U.S. politicians like to buy — they do NOT have the means to impose their will on other countries. They can provide manpower and equipment for auxiliary roles to support U.S.-led wars, or for UN peace-keeping missions, but they lack the ability to wage Wars of Choice on other countries. They can’t afford it. Well . . .
We Americans must now realize that we can’t afford it either.
But even if we could afford it, we shouldn’t do it, because the results are so bad. There’s little evidence these wars are making us more secure, but they’re definitely making us poorer.
Their proposal didn’t even talk about Defense, but their evidence applies as much to defense as to any other area of federal spending . . .
When federal spending fell as a share of GDP in the 1990s, employment rose!
And higher federal spending since 2000 has been associated with job losses, NOT increased employment.
The reasons for this should be obvious. Federal spending is less efficient than private spending, because the The State pays no penalties for waste and failure. This means that inefficient government spending crowds out more efficient private spending, resulting in a net loss of jobs and wealth.
In short, increased federal spending decreases both jobs and social affluence. And this applies to defense spending just as much as any other kind of statist spending.
In December, I used the Independent Institute’s MyGovCost.org tool to measure some of the negative impact.
I learned that for persons of median age, education level, and income, statist spending could cost $500,000 in lost wealth over a lifetime. $85,000 of that will be lost due to so-called defense spending, and wars of choice, like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya.
These numbers are deliberately conservative. The younger you are, the more The State and its wars of choice will cost you. And the more you earn the more you’ll pay. But for someone with 40 years to live, every dollar that the Federal State takes from you could have created $5 in increased wealth, if saved and invested.
It’s easy to say that the Federal State is needed for some things, and that defense is at the top of this list, but how much “defending” do we actually need? After all . . .
It’s fundamentally impossible for any nation to invade and conquer the United States, even if we abandoned our large defense establishment entirely, and went to a Swiss-style reserve army instead.
If we had just one-third of the current defense budget, the $400 billion saved could increase private job and wealth creation dramatically. This would be the best “stimulus” we could have, because this money would be available for the private sector to use as it sees fit, instead of as the politicians prefer.
Even then, the U.S. would still spend more than twice what China does. That’s more than enough to keep America safe.
What it likely wouldn’t permit is for U.S. politicians to station troops in wealthy countries like South Korea or Germany.
And, more importantly, it wouldn’t be enough money to bomb, invade, or occupy countries like Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya.
This means we’d benefit even more . . .
So what’s your verdict? Can you afford more wars of choice? Do you want to continue funding a bloated defense establishment, or would you like to keep more of your money to pursue your own goals and benevolent purposes?

Both segments of this critical market, K-12 and higher education, face increasing demands for wired and wireless connectivity in the classroom as well as networked security systems.
The K-12 market encompasses a wide range of education facilities, including public and private elementary, secondary, and high schools. More and more educational activities and materials are being placed partially or wholly online. In addition, in the wake of tragedies like the Sandy Hook school shootings, many middle and elementary schools have also come to see the need for networked security systems to deter intrusion, vandalism, and other criminal behavior.
The larger the school campus, the more complex its connectivity requirements. These include classroom connectivity, library services, mass notification systems in case of emergency, video surveillance using higher-megapixel cameras, and access control.
A city school system needs a centrally managed physical security system for its dozens of schools. The existing analog video surveillance suffers from poor video quality, limited storage capacity, lack of networked access to tapes, and other problems. A new Cisco video surveillance solution captures high-definition video, provides synchronized timestamps, runs over the school system’s IP network, and provides centralized and vastly increased storage. Security personnel can remotely view archived and real-time video from any web browser.

Talk of farmers misery, and you immediately think of Vidharba region in Maharashtra. You have read about suicides committed by thousands of farmers in Vidharba at a regular interval. There have been a number of committees, not less than 19 by a last count, that have gone into examining the reasons behind the serial death dance being enacted in Vidharba. And yet, there seems to be no respite for the beleaguered farmers.
I draw your attention to another hotspot of farmers misery. It has not caught the nation’s attention like Vidharba dots the distress chart. But perhaps in many ways it is is faced with much worse natural conditions, where continuous drought for a few years has played havoc with the farm economy, and which has turned into a ‘political battlefield of the deaths’.
Thanks to the ensuing elections, The Hindustan Times has sent its team of reporters to different parts of the country. One of the dispatches published on Mar 18, 2009, is about Bundelkhand region in Uttar Pradesh. The report titled ” Guess the price of misery: Rs 10, Rs 20, Rs 800″ by Pankaj Jaiswal, brings out the poignant reality. Says the report: Those are the amounts two successive governments gave as compensation to farmers in the drought-hit Bundelkhand region. Some want to dump the cheques this summer — in the ballot box.
Mr Rajput has since collected area-wise statistics and sent them to both the central and state governments, to ensure they knew the details of the situation. The report further states: In the years since, residents say suicides have continued but officials and the police often put them down to unexplained deaths.
There is nothing new in this approach. All state governments follow the same strategy to avoid taking the blame for the farmer suicides.
I have visited Bundelkhand a couple of times in the past two years. I have travelled to some parts of the misery belt. And every time I have returned sad, very sad The appalling human tragedy continues to haunt me. I wonder why people should be living in misery and despair at a time when India is sending unmanned vehicles to the moon, at a time when we claim to be a knowledge superpower, and at a time when our granaries are overflowing. Why should farmers, who are the real annadata, be living in misery. Why should an ungrateful nation be in a hurry to dump its farmers, the real backbone of the economy.
Here is what I wrote after my first visit. I am sure it will help you understand what is going wrong in what was once a very productive and prosperous region.
