Mineral hardness is a trademark that is physical can be tried, figured and contrasted and different minerals. One technique is to attempt the hardness of one mineral against another. This is refined through the capacity of a harder material to scratch a milder one.
The Mohs’ Hardness Scale costs the hardness of a mineral general to other individuals. It totally was made by German mineralogist Friedrich Mohs. The Mohs’ Scale is one of a few meanings of hardness in materials innovation. Mohs construct his scale in light of ten minerals that are promptly accessible. The minerals are enlisted in the scale by finding the item that is hardest they can scratch. The Mohs’ scale is relative, not corresponding.
The table underneath looks at Mohs’ hardness to hardness that is absoluteas measured by a sclerometer). The Mohs’ scale is relative, which means it truly is a scale that is simply ordinal records the minerals all together of hardness yet does not indicate contrasts of hardness between your minerals as every mineral is only one unit away through the following. This would demonstrate that Quartz is 7 times harder than Talc and Diamond is just 10 times harder than Talc.
The hardness that is outright is corresponding demonstrating a quantitative distinction between the minerals. This demonstrates Quartz is really 100 times harder than Talc and Diamond is unmistakably 1500 times harder than Talc.
The tool was created to determine the amount of hardness of a given mineral by applying pressure on a diamond that is moving until a “scratch” has occurred.
Different types of Gemstone Hardness Testing – you will find four methods that are typical evaluation the hardness of materials. They are the sclerometer technique introduced by Turner in 1896; the scleroscope method recently created by Shore; the indentation test adopted by Brinell about 1900; and the drill test introduced by Keep a years that are few. Turner’s Sclerometer could be the method used to try the hardness of minerals. One other three methods are generally utilized to try metals only instead of minerals.
Turner’s Sclerometer – In this form of test a diamond that is weighted is drawn, once forward and once backward, over the smooth area of the material to be tested.
The hardness number is the weight in grams needed to produce a scratch that is standard.
The scratch chosen is one that will be simply visible to the naked eye as a dark line on a bright surface that is showing. It normally the scratch which could just be felt with all the edge of a quill when the latter is drawn throughout the surface that is smooth right angles to a set of such scratches produced by regularly increasing weights.

Think of our ranking process as a series of steps that, as we implement them, will increase the SERPs.
Hi, it’s Chaz with Make My Business Boom and Web 2.0 Ranker and today we are going to take an in-depth look at one of the processes we use to rank local client sites. Think of our ranking process as a series of steps that, as we implement them, will increase the SERPs.
Every SEO has their own ranking process that they constantly refine and perfect and if you are just starting out I encourage you to create your own process. Literally, write out and document each step of your process as this will allow you to easily train future assistants to do the tasks for your agency.
Take a quick look at our entire ranking process, from start to finish, before we dive into the specifics.
We developed our process to quickly and safely push websites into the top SERPs, build a complete digital brand and position our digital properties to become the authority in a niche.
Our clients’ digital brands (not just their websites) dominate for the main keywords, for long tail keywords and for buyer intent keywords.
The chart shows a website silo that will allow you to rank for virtually all industry, niche, brand and location keyword variations. It is has specific vertical stacks, example: home page < main location page < specific location page or home page < main product page < specific product page and these stacks are important when we begin linking our blog posts to our pages.
Each page has a contextual link to the pages directly below it. So the home page links down to the main product page, main location page and main brand + industry page; the main product page links down to the specific product pages, etc.
Should the bottom pages of your silo link back to your home page? For years we always linked the bottom silo pages back to our home page under the assumption that it would pass juice through our silo structure. But some recent in-house tests are making us second guess this. There’s no conclusive evidence that linking back to the home page has any useful impact on the SERPs.
Additional keyword optimization we perform include: density analysis of the top 3 sites (we use the average of this), title, subheadings, alt tags, body text and meta (we use exact match and LSI to achieve our desired density).
Once we have the silo and keyword density optimized, we optimize for speed and user experience using Google Developers Tools and Pingdom Website Speed Test. Our goal is to make our site one of the top websites in terms of speed and user experience.
Now it’s time to optimize for geo relevancy for local businesses (we skip the first step for national SEO campaigns).
The first step is very quickly done using HTML Geo Tags. Once the tag is generated it is pasted into the head section on our web page. The next step is to use Schema mark-up directly on the web page itself. We use Schema Creator to quickly prepare our structured mark-up. You can read a great article on using Schema here: http://localclienttakeover.com/schema-markup-made-easy/. The final step is to embed keyword optimized Google My Maps onto the appropriate web pages.
Finally, we prepare our site for the future Content Autopilot and Google Authority Stacking phases by installing the Jetpack plugin and activating and linking the social sharing function to Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
So what is the Social Ring of Trust? It is a collection of authoritative and trusted web 2.0 and social profiles that you build for the brand. You should interlink these sites together and link each profile back to your website. Later on these properties will become the backbone for the Content Autopilot and Google Authority Stacking phases.
The next part of your Ring of Trust will be business directory profiles and citations. I won’t get into much detail here other than mention a few key points.
For national SEO campaigns only the top directory sites need built: Angie’s List, Thumbtack, Yelp, Foursquare, Manta, YP, Porch etc. For local SEO campaigns you will want many more citations built. A good rule of thumb is to simply copy and paste the information directly from your Google page. Use the exact same name, address, phone, description, and photos that appear on the Google page. Pro Tip: Drip your Citations or order small packs of citations every few weeks, the velocity of citations needs to be slow!
The final part of the Social Ring of Trust is creating brand profiles on high authority sites. These profiles should be manually created and optimized with pictures, videos, and unique descriptions.
Our case study site is a local locksmith company who came to us after experiencing negative SEO. The site had originally ranked between 5 and 8 for the main keywords, then suffered a loss that dropped it off of page one altogether.
Additionally, there was virtually no social presence for the brand and had many on-site issues. So we began with a disavow file which helped stabilize the rankings but the site did not recover to its previous page one position. So we rolled up our sleeves and fixed the on-site issues. And we built out a complete Social Ring of Trust, interlinked and fully optimized. Still not back on page one. Google didn’t want to reward a site that had been only recently affected by negative SEO.
It was time to begin the Viral Effect, it was time to make the brand go viral and dominate page one. Before we delve into detail on each step of this viral process let’s step back and look at the overview of the Viral Effect.
That’s it. The Viral Effect. Social activity and trust signals that Google loves to reward with great rankings.
Tiered Links – We run tiered linking to many of the digital properties used during the Viral phase, for example we will link to the YouTube video, Twitter profile, Facebook page, branded web 2.0 blog posts, niche blog posts, Tumblr reblogs (this is very powerful using GSA), LinkedIn profile, Thumbtack profile, Porch profile, the top citation pages like Yelp, Foursquare and Manta, the Vimeo video, and the Dailymotion video using FCS. We pyramid the tier 2 links with tier 3 GSA or FCS. You can safely substitute GSA instead of FCS for many of the authority business profiles and citations, including Yelp, LinkedIn, Thumbtack and Foursquare.
During week one I saw a lot of dancing. There was a lot of activity being done to the site and it was reflected in major swings in the SERPs, even so far as disappearing completely for a few days. But because we were simulating a Viral Effect, we didn’t slow down link velocity or social activity, instead we did the exact opposite. We increased the velocity.
Within the 2nd week rankings stabilized and daily we saw gains. Not only did the website make gains in the SERPs but suddenly for branded searches many citations and profiles moved to page 1 from nowhere. This was a great sign and proved the power of this method for ranking parasites and the branded digital properties that we wanted (Online Reputation Management (ORM) is combined into this SEO process because of the massive interlinking of branded properties.
Through week three and four we saw nearly daily gains in the SERPs, breaking onto page 1 for not only our main keyword but a ton of long tail and buyer intent words as well. There was no dancing as is typical of many other link building methods and that leads me to believe that the authority and trust that we built through interlinking so many of our branded properties helped to fortify against any drastic SERP movement. Here is the client’s Facebook page ranking in the top 5 of page 1.
We didn’t abruptly end the Viral Effect at the end of week four, but gradually tapered the activity back to normal levels as we prepared to run another SEO process we use that I like to call Content Autopilot. The tiered link building to various parts of the Social Ring of Trust and Viral Effect was dripped over 2 weeks for continued traction and social relevance and by the end of week 6 the website was at the top of page 1 with no fluctuation since.
We took a site that was hit heavily by negative SEO and that still to this day continues to be hit by negative SEO, and ranked it number one using interlinked social media, web 2.0’s, branded citation profiles and aggressive content SEO.
Today the site is still number one, still being hit by negative SEO but is safely surrounded by a Social Ring of Trust and I am sure that our Content Autopilot helps keep the site active and relevant in the eyes of the search engine spiders guaranteeing our #1 position.
it was nice to know some step by step methods we can use to achieve consistent and steady rankings.
i would further like to know what is “Content Autopilot” and how can i setup such system as well. or maybe a details tutorial on the topic would be greats.
thanks Chaz for sharing your method.
I am also curious about your “content autopilot”. Is this using something like wprobot or another auto curation method?
Great case study, thanks for sharing.

More and more scientific proof and touching testimonials are showing CBD’s tremendous healing properties. Hemp and Cacao are two powerful superfoods which science is starting to explain ‘how’ and ‘why’ they work so well therapeutically, especially together.
It is important to differentiate CBD and THC. While they could come from the same plant, they have significantly different – and balancing properties. CBD is completely non-psychoactive and does not produce any mind alter, or high effects. The CBD used in Karmavore Superfoods products is naturally occurring (along with various other nutrients) in our specially sourced Full Spectrum High Grade Hemp Oil (ETST). Our oil is lab tested and certified to contain no amount of THC. The search for more cannabinoids in plants took an interesting turn in 1996 when Daniele Piomelli and fellow researchers isolated a cannabinoid neurotransmitter called anandamide (n-arachidonoylethanolamine or AEA) in chocolate. The interesting thing about anandamide is that it is also a naturally endogenous (internally occurring) cannabinoid found in the human brain and nervous system that plays a role in feelings of overall well-being.
As a CB2 cannabinoid receptor site agonist THC is effective not only in the treatment of pain, it is also effective against numerous inflammatory conditions, osteoporosis, and atherosclerosis in different animal studies. Activation of CB1 by THC provides neuro-protection after a brain injury. THC is also effective against certain forms of migraine headaches. Although not conclusively proven to be curative of multiple sclerosis, THC has been shown to alleviate muscle stiffness and pain associated with multiple sclerosis. Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness. THC is able to lower internal eye pressure and improve eyesight in those suffering from glaucoma.
Cancer: Like THC, CBD’s show efficacy against glioma cell lines (brain or spinal tumors formed of glial cells). CBD turns off DNA-binding protein inhibitor ID-1. This protein inhibitor is considered responsible for tumor metastasis, especially in breast cancer.
CBD may act to cause apoptosis in cancer cells (the spontaneous self-destruction of these cells) via its action on mutant p53 proteins found in cancer cells. Cannabis samples containing higher fractions of cannabidiol (as opposed to THC) are known to allay the short-term memory loss associated with cannabis use. Overall CBD has the following properties: anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-depressant, antibiotic, anti-ischemic, immunomodulatory, anti-tumor, and shows promise as an anti-arthritic and anti-metastatic compound.
Anandamide is also an activator of the transient receptor potential (TRP) vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) found on primary sensory neurons. The activation of the TRPV1 receptor activates a metabolic anti-inflammatory response. Going beyond just anti-inflammatory action, anandamide is known to inhibit human breast cancer cell proliferation.
Numerous arguments are levied against smoking cannabis including: the illegality of the substance in most nations, short-term memory impairment, influence on the cerebellum that could lead to loss of coordination, potential withdrawal symptoms, and that cannabis smoke contains some carcinogenic substances.
However, most of these arguments fall apart when eating, blending, or juicing organic, outdoor-grown cannabis leaves and flowers (which typically delivers a higher ratio of stabilizing CBDs and lower, or even no psychoactive THC effects), when consuming them in chocolate (to amplify and modulate the delivery of cannabinoids) and/or when creating and using their extracts in oil (as, for example, medicinally described in the film “Run From The Cure”).
For more information on the effects of CBD – and how synergistic it is with raw chocolate, please check out some of the links below!

It was supposed to be a holiday, the two weeks I spent in Glasgow and other parts of the UK this summer. But, if you’re bringing your brand new camera and Lenzie Moss are playing at Stereo, why not film a session? Lenzie Moss is the new band of former BMX Bandits and Teenage Fanclub member Finlay MacDonald and features Andrew Truscott and Nicholas John Grant of The Seventeenth Century on drums and bass. This session was recorded in the backstage room of Stereo.
The venue at Renfield Lane, Glasgow is where I earlier saw Ross Clark support Frightened Rabbit and witnessed Doghouse Roses release their second album ‘This Broken Key’ in November 2010. Even though the show wasn’t that busy, Lenzie Moss proved to be as good live as on record. Besides, if you’re standing there, in the audience with Biff Smith of The Starlets and most of The Seventeenth Century on one side and mister Murdoch of Belle And Sebastian on the other, you might just be at the right place, the right time.
Before all this, MacDonald performed three songs. Two Lenzie Moss songs, one Stereolab cover. Well worth spending a bit of my holiday time on.

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - April 30, 2008) - Manchester Pacific Gateway, LLC announced today that a United States District Judge has ruled in its favor in a suit against the California Coastal Commission. The Court declared that the Coastal Commission cannot require Manchester to obtain a Coastal Development Permit under state law for Manchester's proposed development of the Navy Broadway Complex (NBC). The NBC site is excluded from the "coastal zone" by Federal law. Further, the Court ordered that the NBC Project should be reviewed under Federal, not state, coastal law.
Manchester filed suit against the Coastal Commission for declaratory relief in June 2007 after the Commission attempted to exercise state law permit jurisdiction over Manchester's development of the NBC site. Manchester responded that the Commission does not possess such jurisdiction because the project is being developed on Navy land and the project is the product of Federal legislation and Federal agency discretion. With the ruling, Judge Jeffrey T. Miller agreed.
"The Navy Broadway Complex is being developed with the highest sensitivity to the environment and the coast line," said "Papa Doug" Manchester, Chairman of Manchester Financial Group, parent company overseeing the development. Further, "This ruling removes an important hurdle and moves us forward with development of this landmark project which will revitalize and invigorate San Diego's waterfront."
According to Rear Admiral Len Hering, "This was a critical ruling for the Navy to move forward with this important public-private partnership and for the Navy to realize its long-sought objective for development of a new state-of-the-art Southwest Regional Command Center while providing for an array of public benefits for the people of San Diego."
"This is a significant legal victory for Manchester and the Navy because it means that the Coastal Commission cannot assert its jurisdiction to require a Coastal development permit on Federal land which is excluded from the Coastal zone," said Steve Strauss, a partner at law firm Cooley Godward Kronish who is outside legal counsel for Manchester, and who litigated this case.
Manchester is a San Diego-based developer that is a party to a long-term Ground Lease with the U.S. Navy. The proposed NBC Project is a Manchester and U.S. Navy joint public/private venture with plans to develop a billion-dollar, mixed-use project on the NBC site at San Diego's waterfront. The project will include over three million square feet of office, hotel, and museum space, including a new 17-story Class A office building for Navy headquarters, and over five acres of public park and open space.

The Diploma in Orthomolecular and Nutrigenomics Medicine has a duration of 9 months and consists of 18 bimonthly video-class modules, and individual video conferences with online consultation with the teacher (rounds) to request one for each module.
The duration of each class is 120 minutes. And the training and clarification rounds are 30 minutes.
The online course system allows the automatic recording of the classes, and the student will receive all the corresponding bibliographic material in parallel.
The course consists of a practical part to be done in person at the Orthomolecular Buenos Aires headquarters, where all the techniques related to the specialty will be taught (HLB, LBA, ES Teck Complex, Oligoscan, infrared camera, In Body, Test Neurotransmitters, among others.) Duration 8 hours.
It consists of medical practice based on the use of the most appropriate nutrients such as vitamins, amino acids, minerals, trace elements, fatty acids, phytotherapics, nutraceuticals, in therapeutic doses according to the individual biochemical requirements of each patient.
It implies an approach that allows, not only to treat but to prevent the installation of the different pathologies through the balance of natural substances in the organism. Using the supplements or even the diet itself, without ignoring or neglecting traditional therapies. It consists of Integrating.
Individual biochemistry is the central precept of Orthomolecular Medicine.
Etymologically, Orthomolecular means "appropriate or correct molecule", a situation that differs for each individual and even for different moments of the same individual. For this we rely on the precepts outlined by its creator and creditor of the Nobel Prize Dr. Linus Pauling.
The search for knowledge about appropriate and potentially healthier foods has increased in recent decades among scientific societies in both the health field and the world population in general. It is known that food and the environment can influence the health status of an individual, in this way they have used food and plants as medicines.
With the advance of science, especially after the concretion of the Human Genome Project, scientists began to wonder if the genes and bioactive compounds of food could positively or negatively influence the health of the individual. This is how Nutrigenomics emerges, which consists in the study of the interactions between the genome and nutrients. It aims to understand how the different nutrients incorporated with the diet can modify cellular homeostasis in such a way as to convert them into a prophylactic or therapeutic tool.

during our conversation it became apparent Jerome has developed a great approach to the sport, being backed by a good team, coupled with a dynamic fighting style, he is definitely one to watch.
“I started boxing when I was 21, so I started late, I just went to the gym with a friend, I had always watched boxing but never took that much of an interest in it.
After I went to the gym once I got a feel for it, everything about it, the environment, the smell of the gym and from there it has catapulted, it became an obsession, it went from a hobby to a lifestyle.
“I had 35 fights, I won the Haringey box cup, I reached the national finals in 2016, I won London titles twice, so yeah, in the last two years I’ve seen my amateur career take off.
“You know what it is, I am a strong believer in timing, and at the age of 26 I wasn’t going to gain much more from the amateurs, as in it might take me away from what I want to do as a pro.
“So, I’ve got guys at the IQ Boxing Gym in Neasden, North West London, my main coach is Xavier Miller, and my promoter is Steve Goodwin. Me and Xavier get along like a house on fire, as much as I like him as a coach, I also do as a person. We have a good understanding and it’s a great relationship.
“So, like I said, as an amateur I was relying a lot on reflex, movement, counter punching, but not as a pro, I’m going to focus on sitting my weight down, catching shots, returning shots and working the body.
I would love to say I can adapt to any shape or style but I have to be realistic, I would say that I’m a thinking fighter, I can work out people’s fight quite quickly so I can entertain different styles.
“Without trying to sound arrogant or cocky I feel like I’ve got the makings to go all the way, I feel like I’m destined for great things and it’s a matter of time until everyone else starts to believe it.
In 2018 I’m just looking to get the whole experience, and I think if I could get 4 fights this year I would be happy with that, I’m looking to soak up the experience and fight in front of a big hyped up crowd. I’m also sparring 6-8 rounds at the moment so 4 rounds shouldn’t be too bad.
Jerome Campbell makes his debut tonight on Goodwin Boxing’s ‘Venom’ show at the infamous York Hall. Featuring on a strong card, Jerome is bout #6 of the evening. 4 x 3 minute rounds in the lightweight division, sharing the ring with Luke Fash.

At the Biblical Zoo with terrorists?
It’s truly yet another dark day in Israel with the release of 26 murderous Arab terrorists back into society, as a gesture of ‘goodwill,’ in order just to sit at the same table as Mahmoud Abbas and the rest of his cronies. This time around five of the terrorists were freed to their homes in Jerusalem. So next time Jerusalemites visit the zoo, mall, or the movies in our capital, who knows, perhaps one of these ‘martyrs’ will be next to you feeding the goats, trying on a new shirt, or chomping on popcorn one row ahead. Not a comforting notion.
But of course, the biggest problem with the terror release is the government approved injustice being carried out, which a. opens the wounds for the victims’ families forcing them to once again relive their painful nightmare of horror, knowing that their loved ones’ killers are back on the street and b. sends the message to future terrorists namely that – you can murder Israelis, spend a few years in the slammer, while of course getting your college degree and in some cases having the means to coordinate more attacks with those on the outside, knowing full well that one day soon, you too will see the light of day.
Those released of course were greeted with a hero’s welcome in PA-controlled Ramallah from Abbas all the way down. I’m not sure why our Prime Minister wasted his breath in condemning the celebration.
With incitement spewed against Israel in the PA schools, summer camps, mosques, and on official PA news outlets on a regular basis, why is it a surprise that their late night party to welcome the terrorists home was rocking? And let’s not bother trying to understand how or why terrorists past, present and future are able to live with themselves, after carrying out the most heinous of crimes. In a brainwashed society, anything is possible.
For political reasons no doubt, at the same time as the prisoners were packing up and getting ready to head home, reports indicated that the government was to approve new construction in “consensus” areas in Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem.
Without surprise, the PA along with countries across the world condemned such an announcement as proof that Israel’s true interest is to sabotage the talks.
So what do we get if we couple prisoner releases with building in Judea and Samaria? Condemnation of course. And what do we get if we simply announce we are going to build without any prisoners being released? That’s right, again condemnation.
So instead of playing this game, Israel should continue to build Jewish homes everywhere and at all times – in Judea, Samaria, Jerusalem, in the Negev, you name it, without releasing these murderers. Whenever Israel has built in Judea and Samaria over the past 45 years, we have been told by the Euros, UN, State Department etc. that “now is not the right time to build. The situation is too sensitive.” What they are really saying, is that ‘it’s never a good time’ in their eyes to build, hence waiting for their blessing is like waiting for pigs to fly.
At the same time Israel was also condemned (even by some of our own MK’s and ministers including Tzipi Livni) for a symbolic Ministerial Legislative Committee vote approving the annexation of the Jordan Valley. While on the surface this seems like a step in the right direction, what this non-binding resolution really demonstrated can be analyzed by what areas were not included in the wording.
Since the document doesn’t make mention of communities like Itamar, Tekoa, Yizhar, or others outside of the so-called major blocs, it would appear that our Likud-led government is in fact planning on expelling Jews from these areas in the near future. Of course an Israeli presence in the Jordan Valley is vital to any threat from the East, but only with an IDF and civilian presence throughout the hills of Judea and Samaria can we make sure rockets aren’t fired at Tel-Aviv or the airport below.
But what’s possibly most ironically heart-wrenching on this dark day of these terrorist monsters going free (with the final prisoner release still in the works), is how tragic it is that it takes an injustice like this to unite us all.

Broker-Dealers are usually trading facilitators rather than investors. Included in this group are sell-side research firms with broker operations, NYSE and Nasdaq trading desk positions of investment banks, investment banking client desks that execute buyback programs on behalf of corporations, private client firms that essentially act as custodians for high net worth individuals, and brokers that sell unit investment trusts or exchange traded products.
Emerging Markets - These investors focus primarily on companies in the developing economies of Latin America, the Far East, Europe, and Africa.
Hedge Fund investors have the majority of their funds invested in some sort of market neutral strategy. Notably, the term 'hedge fund' is both a legal structure (as opposed to a mutual fund) and an investment style. Nearly every firm that uses a hedge fund or market neutral style is legally organized as a hedge fund (and thus only open to accredited investors). Many are offshore funds that are unregistered, have no investment limitations, and are not subject to disclosure regulations. The common element is that any long position taken in a specific equity is offset by a short position in either a merger partner (risk arbitrage), an 'overvalued' member of the same sector (long/short paired trading), a convertible bond (convertible arbitrage), a futures contract (index arbitrage) or an option contract (volatility arbitrage). Because of the idiosyncratic nature of these investors, the fundamentals of their portfolios are not indicative of their investment styles. Thomson Reuters categorizes these portfolios based on its specific knowledge of the their historical investment behavior.
International - This style refers to those money managers investing the majority of their equity assets in stocks of companies domiciled outside of North America. In most cases, the North American portion of the portfolio is either too small or does not exist, precluding Thomson Reuters from determining an accurate investment style based on the fundamentals of these companies. For "Global" investors which have more significant North American holdings, a specific style may be given which will apply primarily to the North American portion of the portfolio.
Sector Specific investors have the majority of their assets in a single major industry category. Many times these investors are "forced" to own most if not all of the stocks in a given sector whether or not they are deemed appropriately valued. Since their portfolio exposure is linked to a single sector, their performance is usually measured against an index that is pertinent only to that industry. As such, tweaking the relative exposure to the companies that constitute a given sector will determine these firm's investment decisions.
Specialty - This category encompasses a range of styles that are not based on the financial fundamentals of the stocks in the portfolio relative to the overall market. Examples include investors that hold a particularly high concentration of a single stock or a very small set of stocks, or specialize in convertible securities. This category is also reserved for any institution or mutual fund that does not meet the criteria for any of the other investment styles. Thomson Reuters categorizes these portfolios based on its specific knowledge of their historical investment behavior.
Venture Capital and Private Equity investors are usually owners of public companies only when they have participated in a round of financing prior to an IPO and subsequently retained ownership after the transition from a private company to a public company. Other investors often consider positions held by venture capitalists as an "overhang" on the stock of a publicly traded company since VCs will typically dispose of their holdings of public companies during the first few years following an IPO.

If your party is looking for the same excitement traditional paintball offers, but with less of a sting, Paintball Lite is the option for you!
Paintball Lite (a.k.a. low-impact) uses equipment similar to a traditional paintball gun, but shoots smaller paintballs (.50 caliber). The smaller paintballs travel at about the same velocity and distance as regular paintballs. However, since the smaller paintballs weigh signficantly less, the impact energy is lower resulting is less of a sting. Make your birthday party memorable by playing Paintball Lite.

One of the most difficult tasks for a homeowner, when remodeling their home, is to find a reputable, reliable and knowledgeable contractor to provide the materials and services provided in your scope of work. It is important to know that a potential contractor can be trusted in your home, that they are capable of executing the complete project, whether with or without subcontractors, and that they are as dedicated to the project as you are. It is also imperative that they are licensed and insured to provide remodeling services in your local area.
The more knowledgeable and prepared you are as a homeowner, the more capable you will be in choosing the right contractor, which is pivotal to the success of your project. Vetting a contractor could be a lengthy process. A good place to start is by consulting with your architect. They are familiar with the work that local contractors provide to their clients, and speak from experience.
Many architects that provide architectural services for homeowners will follow their projects through to completion. They have the opportunity to see the craftsmanship of the contractor at project end, and have the opportunity to speak to their clients about their experiences with the remodeling contractor.
Another good resource is a friend, neighbor or relative that has recently had a contractor provide work in their home. Word of mouth is one of the best sources of advertisement for a contractor. If someone you know had a good or bad experience with a company, they will have no problem telling you. It is also an easy way to see for yourself the results of the contractors work.
The online world makes it easy to gather information about potential contractors. Google, Yelp, Houzz, Angie's List and Home Advisor are good resources for homeowners to identify how the contractor is rated by other consumers.
Many contractors also use social media as a way to connect with their customers. They interact with their followers by posting photos of their work and can receive reviews on their pages. Consider checking the reviews made by other clients to get some insight into the way they respond to their reviews, whether good or bad. A conscientious company will address customer complaints graciously and look to correct a bad customer experience.
Check with the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs by calling 311 or by visiting their website at www.nyc.gov/dca to make sure the contractor you are considering is licensed. The contractor should hold a valid Home Improvement Contractors (HIC) license and the salesperson that comes to your door should hold a valid Home Improvement Sales (HIS) license. The proposal that you receive should also list the same HIC and HIS license numbers.
Electricians and plumbers are not required to hold a HIC license, rather they hold a New York State license, with a license number assigned to the Licensed Electrician or the Master Plumber. These licenses can be checked through the applicable New York State agencies.
You can also contact the Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.org to check the businesses rating and to see if any other consumers have made a complaint with the bureau. Any complaints will be posted on the contractor's page and the status of the claim will be noted.
Contractors maintain credentials beyond licensing such as certifications with industry organizations. When speaking with a contractor, ask about their certifications and the associations that they belong to. This can provide some additional resources for reference checks.
Some contractors will also take the extra step to become certified installers with national manufacturers to install their specialty products like; heating and air conditioning equipment, windows, doors, flooring or appliances. If there are certain manufacturer's products you want to include in your project, consult with the manufacturer to identify if the contractor you are considering is a trained and certified installer.
When considering a contractor for your remodel, it is important to request an estimate from at least three contractors. Although it is not necessarily any easier to make a choice, you will have the opportunity to see how each contractor differs in the services they provide and to see if their personalities align with you and your family.
Once you have identified which contractors you will be interviewing, make a check list of all the questions you have about your project and ask the same questions to each contractor. Questions should include timelines, payment schedules, subcontractor information, insurance and licensing information, and an acceptable communication plan. You should also ask for references from the contractors last few projects, and visit active worksites.
For any questions about your remodeling project, you can contact NARI-HIC of Staten Island by e-mail at narihic@gmail.com.

» Not My Treasured $50 Dollar Bill!
It is a habit of mine to be prepared for hunger. Usually I would pack my lunch bag with a little more than enough, however today was an anomaly. After I ate my apple at snack time the pang of hunger persisted and disappointingly I couldn’t quell the feeling because I had failed to pack a little more than enough. For quite a while I have been trying to keep a 50TTD. So far I have been able to evade the efforts to spend it; and today’s occurrence was worthy of being penned just because of how it unfolded. So here it goes…faced with hunger I decided to go to the cafeteria. Once again in my purse/ wallet was the treasured 50TTD bill, three single dollars and my VISA card. I made my way to the cafe intent on getting something to satisfy my hunger but not to lose my 50TTD bill at the same time. I asked the cafe worker if they accepted VISA to which she answered in the negative. Then I spotted a DIXIE cracker on the shelf which I thought was surely worth my $3.00. Negative again. She said it costs $4.00. I told the cafe girl my 50TTD story to which she encouraged my spending of it saying, I could always get it back. “Ha! I don’t think so!” I politely said and walked away making the resolve to have a power mint and drink some water.
While making my way back I heard a small voice utter my name. I turned to see the warm, smiling face of Aunty Alice and her daughter. We exchanged greetings and chatted a while. In so doing I told her my cafe dilemma. Then while opening her purse she offered me a pack of DIXEE crackers! I didn’t want to go away with the feeling of depriving her of her only pack of crackers but lo and behold, would you believe, she not only had three packs but three different flavours! And the one she gave me was my favourite-guava. How could I decline this offer? Then she offered me a toolum. Something I haven’t eaten in ages. God bless Aunty Alice for what she did. She was God sent. I pray that she is richly blessed and all provision is made for her and her family. Her act of kindness made my day and allowed me to reflect on my duties as a nurse.
As a Nurse in this noble profession the good done is often unrecognised. The reward may not come in the form or fashion we think it should but when instances like these happen I know that I must keep doing the good that I do regardless of the challenges which come.

Washington Monthly | Time for a New AG?
Time for a New AG?
TIME FOR A NEW AG?….Attorney General John Ashcroft is 0 for 5,000: that is, 0 anti-terror convictions for 5,000 anti-terror detentions. TalkLeft has the details.
On the other hand, we prevented Cat Stevens from entering the country. Onward!
Until that reversal, the Detroit case had marked the only terrorist conviction obtained from the Justice Department’s detention of more than 5,000 foreign nationals in anti-terrorism sweeps since 9/11. So Ashcroft’s record is 0 for 5,000. When the Attorney General was locking these men up in the immediate wake of the attacks, he held almost daily press conferences to announce how many “suspected terrorists” had been detained. No press conference has been forthcoming to announce that exactly none of them have turned out to be actual terrorists.
Defining whether a “terror” conviction is really a terror conviction is surprisingly hard, and Ashcroft, of course, takes an expansive view of this, routinely counting even minor visa violations as “terror” convictions. But that’s not what Cole is talking about. What he’s talking about is the number of convictions resulting from anti-terrorism sweeps and preventive detentions following 9/11. Among the 5,000 who were detained, so far none have been convicted of terror-related offenses.

Scallops with Broccoli and Cauliflower risotto.
It has been a while since I have posted any starters. It doesn’t give you a particularly balanced dinner party without one. I wanted to create a scallop main course, I still can’t think of one apart from some pasta, chorizo and scallops. Hence I made two scallop starters instead. I’ll post the other one soon. This is a simple dish to create at home and will get you top marks for presentation and taste.
Make the pea puree by heating the peas with the cream for 2 minutes. Add the mint and blitz with a stick blender, season with salt and black pepper. Pass through a sieve for extra smoothness.
Steam the large broccoli florets for 7 minutes. Place in iced water until later.
Start cooking the remaining florets and garlic in a good knob of butter. After 5 minutes heat a pan and cook the large floret for one minute on one side. Flip it over and add the scallops to the same pan. Season with table salt and ground black pepper. Flip the scallops after 30secs.
After 7 minutes of cooking the florets, turn off the heat, add the mascarpone and chopped mint. Season to taste.
Be as creative as you like with puree, place a round of risotto in the centre of the plates. Add a scallop and top with a large floret.
A beautifully colourful dish David. We do an amazing scallop with Avocado paste, the combination is outstanding. I’m going to revisit it in the coming months because the photos I took are awful, plus I’ve adapted the recipe to include a little coconut milk powder.
On an unrelated topic, have you made balsamic pearls before? I am trying to find Agar Agar without flavouring but it’s proving to be tougher than it should. Let me know if you have a source.
If no joy, I can either send you some of my powder or go and buy you a pot of the pearls and send them. Let me know how you get on.
What a visually delightful starter and I’m sure it tasted really good.
I’m eyeing that gorgeous crispy cauliflower floret on top! Love cauliflower and broccoli and always looking for different ways to include them on my table. The scallop is gorgeous too, but I’m a bit wary of shellfish, I’m allergic to something but I don’t know what!
The arrangement on the plate looks very impressive. I adore scallops, I should cook them more, lovely idea.
Thanks Danny, I suppose it doesn’t get ay better than beautiful to look at, delicious to eat and guilt free.
Such a pretty dish, I love how you plated…so elegant. The combination of flavors sounds amazing.
Hi Juliana, sorry for the late reply. Work has been demanding this week! I hope you have found some inspiration on the blog.
A gorgeous appetizer and love that mint mascapone cream. I bet that golden cauliflower on top was delicious. Wishing you a super New Years and I have to catch up on your posts!
Good to hear on all fronts.

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are essential for regulating conformational changes, activities and functions of proteins, and are involved in almost all cellular pathways and processes. Phosphorylation is one of the most important post-translational modifications of proteins, which is related to many activities of life. It can regulate signal transduction, gene expression and cell cycle regulation of many cellular processes by protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. With the development and application of proteomics technology, researchers pay close attention on protein phosphorylation research more and more widely. In this paper, we use PSO algorithm to optimize neural network weight coefficients and classify the data which has secondary encoding according to the physical and chemical properties of amino acids for feature extraction. The experimental results compared with the result of the support vector machine (SVM) and experimental results show that the prediction accuracy of PSO-ANNs 2.44 % higher than that of SVM. And this paper at the same time, this paper also analyzes the experimental results under different window values. The results of the experiment are best when the window value is 11.

1825, "dainty, mincing," from finical "too particular" (1590s), perhaps from fine (adj.) + -ical as in cynical, ironical. The -k- between the final -c- and a suffix beginning in -i, -y, or -e is an orthographic rule to mark the pronunciation of -c- as "k" (cf. picnicking, trafficking, panicky, shellacked).

Writer Pico Iyer understands that by keeping an outer journey short, you can make the inner journey that follows echo across a lifetime. In time, like space, a curious mathematics often takes hold. The fewer things you have in your memory, the more space each one has to reverberate inside you. A brief trip can be like an empty room in a Japanese tea house: if there’s nothing there but a single scroll, that scroll becomes the universe. Sometimes, I’ve found, it’s only by keeping an outer journey short that you can make the inner journey that follows echo across a lifetime.
I wasn’t thinking any of this consciously when my plane from the Chinese city of Chengdu touched down on a deserted airstrip miles from Lhasa, the longtime capital of Tibet, in September 1985. The opposite: I was a kid in his 20s playing hooky from my 25th-floor office in Midtown Manhattan, where I was writing articles on world affairs for Time magazine. I’d managed to escape from my office on a six-month leave of absence, and soon after arriving in China, I’d become aware that Tibet was now open to foreigners, really for the first time ever.
I’d first gone to see the Dalai Lama in his Indian home in Dharamsala as a teenager – thanks to my philosopher father, who’d met the Tibetan leader months after he came into exile in 1959 – and I’d been following the situation there from afar. But now the government in Beijing had opened Tibet up to foreign tourists, and I couldn’t resist the prospect of being part of the first wave of visitors.
As I stepped out into the thin air, however – the air so shockingly blue – I wondered if I’d succumbed to one Shangri-La myth too many. The few other foreigners on the unsteady Chinese commercial carrier looked like renegades: scarf-swathed adventurers; pantalooned ne’er-do-wells; scientists in cowboy hats on missions they refused to disclose. Our congregation of the curious was herded towards a battered bus, and very soon we were jolting across roads and over streams on a journey to Lhasa that never seemed to end.
There were few signs of what I thought of as civilisation along the road: only some small statues outside of caves and Buddhas painted in dazzling colours on the rocks. Occasionally we passed a pilgrim, grimy with hundreds of days of travel, joining his palms before him and then falling into the dust, again and again, in a devotional three-part prostration of prayer. When at last we pulled into a ragged courtyard, the ‘City of the Sun’ disclosed itself as a little town of whitewashed houses gathered around the ancient Barkhor market area, with flower boxes golden under deep blue skies, worn prayer flags flapping under white open rooftops.
I knew a bit about Tibet, I thought. I’d devoured such classic works as In Exile from the Land of Snows and Seven Years in Tibet. I’d once even dragged 16 colleagues from Time’s World Affairs section down to the dingy basement of the now-defunct Tibetan Kitchen restaurant on New York’s Third Avenue to school them in Himalayan realities. But what I saw now was nothing like what I’d read about in Alexandra David-Néel’s mystical account, Magic and Mystery in Tibet.
Men were circling around the main square in front of the Jokhang Temple, muttering under their breath, ‘Dalai Lama. Dalai Lama’, in the hope that a foreigner might slip them a contraband photo of their exiled leader. Undercover policemen roamed here and there across the plaza. Everywhere, nomadic Golok women in green bowler hats, huge Khampa warriors with red thread in their long hair and purple-cheeked kids by their side were circumambulating the temple, spinning prayer-wheels as they walked, while workers sang folk songs as they laboured to restore crumbling buildings.
I’d read, back in Midtown, about a new hotel on the far side of town, so I trudged along to it, hoisting a suitcase almost bigger than I was. When I arrived, it was to find what might have been a spectre’s hospital of empty rooms, an oxygen tank beside every bed. I turned around and started padding back – no-one had told me about altitude sickness. Brilliantly smiling yak herders shouted things at me I couldn’t understand. Scratchy country-and-Eastern music – nomad songs delivered by a single bare voice against a single plucked string – crackled out of cassettes in roadside stalls. Tibet was so undiscovered then that it offered scant footing for a foreigner.
At last I saw what looked like some Europeans marching along the main drag, and I slipped into the dark entrance that they’d emerged from. ‘Banak Shol Hotel, Happiness Road’, read the sign. A young Tibetan with a smattering of English told me I could have a room for $2 a night. A room was all it was: a large bare mattress with a straw pillow, and no space even to move. A filthy shared toilet lay at the end of the outdoor corridor; a rusty tap in the courtyard below offered water.
I teetered my way up a steep wooden ladder, dropped my suitcase off in my dark, airless chamber, then went out again and slipped through a labyrinth of muddy alleyways to the Jokhang (which only a few weeks ago erupted in flames). In front of it, monks and nomad women, tiny toddlers and their grandmothers, were performing three-part prostrations as, I’d see, they did from dawn to midnight. When I entered the temple, I could catch little by the dim light of flickering candles. But soon I could register tears streaming down the roughest Tibetan cheeks as petitioners shuffled forwards, past one god of compassion and wisdom after another, stunned to have attained at last the holiest place in their holy city.
Next morning I travelled out to Ganden, once one of the largest monasteries in the world. Now it was just a jumble of broken stones. Three red-robed monks enjoying a picnic in the dirt waved me down to join them in salted yak-butter tea and rough bread. On the bus back, a fist fight broke out as a group of Tibetans gathered around a lone Chinese, a reminder of how even the occupiers were at times a victim of their circumstances. After night fell, I noticed that the whole small town sat under the protective gaze of the 13-storey Potala Palace up above, only a few lights gleaming from its more than 1,000 rooms.
In the pre-dawn dark the next day, I walked for an hour away from the buildings, past the yak-hair tents of nomads, solitary candles outside them, until I arrived at a faraway crag where sturdy Tibetans were engaging in a grisly ritual practice: chopping up a fresh human corpse, in the traditional way, to feed to birds of prey. It felt somehow like an invasion – a holy rite being devoured by us uncomprehending tourists – and yet not to see a ‘Sky Burial’ seemed a kind of sacrilege.
In the afternoon, I went out to Sera and Drepung monasteries, recalling the stories my professor father had told me of their skull-filled murals and ritual debating with 20,000 in attendance. At this moment, there were mostly dogs seated patiently in courtyards and a handful of young novice monks asking to play with my camera.
Finally, on my third morning in the city, I made the long climb along a zigzagging path to the Potala. Following a group of Tibetans to a dark booth in the first courtyard, I parted with a few pennies to purchase two religious scrolls swarming with deities and visions of the universe. I went up into rooms through which shafts of high sunlight were streaming, as monks sat in corners between red and golden curtains, reading from the sutras. There were statues and treasure halls at every turn; women were bowing to receive blessed water from monks amid relics of the nine Dalai Lamas who had lived there.
At one point I stepped out onto a whitewashed terrace to look across the valley to the mountains, which were dusted with fresh snow. The sky was cobalt, and everything came to me with a sharp, zoom-lens immediacy. I couldn’t say why, I couldn’t say how, but somehow, as I stood there, I felt not just on the ‘rooftop of the world’ mentioned in all the brochures, but on the rooftop of my being – some clearer, stronger state of mind I didn’t recognise.
Maybe it was the thin air. Maybe culture shock or the accumulated weariness of the succession of flights and the bumpy bus ride. Certainly, I wasn’t eager to feel anything special in the land that so many associate with otherworldly transports. I recalled how Sir Francis Younghusband, the British soldier who led a murderous expedition on the city in the winter of 1904, had gone for a long ride on his last afternoon in Lhasa. Whatever he experienced there was so strong that he doffed his soldier’s uniform, returned to Europe and became one of the century’s most fervent peace campaigners.
In my 20s, I was foolish enough to believe that you fashioned yourself by not thinking what other people thought, and defined yourself by everything you thought you could see through. As a hard-headed journalist for Time, I considered myself averse to clichés. But as I stood in that high, clear light, transported almost in spite of my best efforts, I made a promise to myself as never before or since. I would leave two days later, after only 100 hours in Tibet, so that my stay in Lhasa would always make a clear whole in my head. These were days of heaven I would never know again, so I’d depart as soon as possible and keep the interlude forever distinct in my head.
I’m embarrassed at who I was in my 20s now, so quick to pass judgment, so hemmed in by schoolboy scepticisms. But in that one moment my instincts were true. I left Lhasa after only four days, and, 33 years on, every hour of that stay feels as picked out as a solitary canvas in an enormous banquet hall. I’ve returned to the Tibetan capital more than once, I’ve spent years travelling across Bhutan and Ladakh and Nepal, as well as at similarly displacing altitudes in Bolivia and Peru. But I was right: what I felt that moment, I’ve never felt again.
Now, as I sit at my desk and take the trip once again, I’m reminded how it’s always in an empty room that I feel fullest. Part of the challenge of any outer journey, especially when exalted, is having the courage to know when to cut it short, if only so that the inner journey can – and will – remain alive, distinctive and whole, forever.

Reggello preserves a very interesting artistic and architectural heritage in its squares and museums. A stop in the centre of the town is a must, as is one in Cascia, at the Romanesque Parish Church of San Pietro. This is where the Masaccio Museum of Sacred Art is located. Also worthy of note are the Parish Church of Sant’Agata in Arfoli (1230) and that of Pitiana, in which precious works of art can be admired. Among these are two panels by Ghirlandaio and an altar-piece by Ignazio Hugford. Instead, works by Mino da Fiesole and Antonio Rossellino can be viewed in the Church of San Clemente at Sociana Lastly, the tourist locality of Vallombrosa, seat of the thousand-year-old Abbey and Museum of Sacred Art, abounds in artistic treasures. At Vallombrosa it is possible to travel the Circuit of Chapels, a pedestrian route that winds through the forest, touching the completely restored 17th-/18th-century series of chapels.
The vestiges of numerous castles and the profiles of the renaissance villas embellish our typically Tuscan landscape, which offers to lovers of nature and hiking numerous mountain itineraries amid the Balze and the two forests of San Antonio and Vallombrosa.

Leave the Oxford Western bypass (A34) at the Botley Interchange (A34-A420 junction). From the raised roundabout take the exit signposted Oxford A420. At the traffic lights at the bottom of the slipway, bear left then immediately right into North Hinksey Lane. After about 100 metres the lane bends sharp left. The entrance to the Cemetery is about 50 metres beyond the sharp bend on the right hand side. Vehicle access is permitted into the Cemetery. The Commonwealth War Graves Plot is at the end of the driveway behind the Chapel.
A Visitor Information Panel was recently installed at Oxford (Botley) Cemetery to provide information about the war casualties buried here. This is the first of many panels to be erected to help raise awareness of First and Second World War graves in the UK (Oct 2012).
During the two world wars, the United Kingdom became an island fortress used for training troops and launching land, sea and air operations around the globe. There are more than 170,000 Commonwealth war graves in the United Kingdom, many being those of servicemen and women killed on active service, or who later succumbed to wounds. Others died in training accidents, or because of sickness or disease. The graves, many of them privately owned and marked by private memorials, will be found in more than 12,000 cemeteries and churchyards. During the First World War, the 3rd Southern General Hospital (an Oxfordshire Territorial Unit) was housed in the Examination Schools and a number of other buildings in Oxford. Oxford (Botley) Cemetery contains 156 burials from the First World War, all in the war graves plot in section I/1. The cemetery was designated a Royal Air Force regional cemetery during the Second World War and was used by RAF stations in Berkshire and neighbouring counties. Practically all of the 516 Second World War burials (one of them unidentified) are in the war graves plot, which was extended from the section used during the First World War. The architectural features of the plot were designed by Edward Maufe, ARA. In addition to the Commonwealth war graves, Oxford (Botley) Cemetery contains almost 70 war graves of other nationalities.

Douglas Macgregor, a retired US Army colonel, author and geopolitical analyst, has challenged claims by President Trump's opponents, including leading House Democrat Nancy Pelosi, that Washington's decision to pull out of Syria was a "Christmas present" for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Speaking to Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Macgregor reasoned that the US withdrawal, hastened by Turkish threats to invade Kurdish-controlled areas in northern Syria, led the Syrian government to regain control over the area.
"Now we have created an enormous problem for Mr. Putin, because Mr. Putin has cultivated the Turks. Mr. Putin has also cultivated his Iranian and Syrian allies. He's got to make a choice – does he allow the Turks into Syria? Then he loses his position with the Syrians and the Iranians. So the notion that Mr. Putin has somehow or another 'won' something is absurd. This has been a very clever move on the part of the president," the former army officer argued.
"The truth is that by getting out of the way, we have eliminated the consensus that was holding these various diverse partners together. There is no reason why the Turks, the Russians, the Iranians should cooperate at all, and that's a good thing," Macgregor insisted.
Commenting on the US analyst's predictions, Russian military observer Alexander Perendzhiev said that Macgregor was engaging in wishful thinking, rather than cogent analysis. "
Just because the US says Russia will quarrel with its allies, this doesn't mean that this will happen, because the withdrawal of US troops from Syria is not a sufficient cause; other laws are in place governing relations" between Moscow and its partners, Perendzhiev noted. Furthermore, the Russian analyst pointed out that if Washington really believed that a "clever" US withdrawal would prompt Russia and its allies to descend into a conflict over Syria, US officials, analysts and pundits certainly wouldn't go around talking about it in public.
Turning to the Washington establishment's resistance to Trump's plans, Macgregor noted that most Pentagon officials opposed Trump's withdrawal from Syria "are products of the Clinton-Bush-Obama era" with "a lot invested in this."
"And remember that the people who live in the seven zip codes in and around Washington, D.C. have all become millionaires as a result of their 'investment' in these failed operations…You put the two together and you have a lot of resistance to ending something that's been profitable for them. It hasn't been profitable for the American people; it's been a disaster – trillions of dollars in debt over the last 17 years, thousands of people killed and wounded, and for what? The answer is – not much," the commentator stressed.
On December 19, President Trump announced that the US would be withdrawing its troops from Syria over a period of several months. According to Trump, the US coalition's mission, the defeat of Daesh (ISIS)*, had been secured. Trump's announcement prompted a series of high-profile resignations at the Pentagon and State Department, with Defence Secretary James Mattis announcing that he would step down at the end of next month.
"The US has had a presence in Afghanistan for 17 years…And almost every year it says it is withdrawing troops from there. But they are still there. We don't see any indication of the US withdrawing troops yet, but I accept that it may be happening," Putin said.
*Daesh (also known as ISISI/ISIL/Islamic State) is a terrorist group banned in Russia.
