From Ex illis wiki The Valois-Anjou army belongs to the lords serving Charles de Valois, King Philippe IV’s brother. During his whole life, Valois attempts to acquire a crown, but he does not manage because of unfortunate events, of a certain bad luck and of his notorious clumsiness. He represents the
chief of barons par excellence, relentlessly defending the feudal values against the modern ideas of the king of France’s legists. In fact, he feels somewhat disgusted by commoners, and especially by those sitting on Philippe’s council, such as Enguerrand de Marigny and Guillaume de Nogaret. Charles de

At this point in my life there is a huge difference between sex and dating. I will be 37 in a few days and quite frankly… dating is a chore, while sex is like a chocolate sundae (something you don’t have all the time but when you do, it’s a spontaneous decision and you enjoy every second of it.) I joined a dating service that is supposed to match me up based on my personality and hobbies and activities and all that shit. So far I have been on 7 dates and only one of them has been someone I would consider seeing a second time. The service seems to be striking out over and over again and I truly believe that they just pull my name out of a hat and put me with whatever guy they haven’t matched in a while. I am not going to say the name of the company just yet, because at the end of this I will be publishing my memoirs. Incidentally, my ex BF from high school emailed me today to say Happy Birthday and when I told him about my dating sagas he said he would be happy to write the forward for my book when I publish it. What
a brilliant idea! Dating is the act of getting ready, the primping before the meeting, the nervousness of the first glance and the first hello, and the awkwardness of the conversation. (Or lack thereof) In my case, I never really run out of

Japanese duped in $2m ship purchase New Atlantis, formerly Seifu Maru. IN A stunt that may upset Tokyo, Sea Shepherd whaling activists have bought a $2 million Japanese government ship to turn against its whalers. The 56-metre ship was purchased through a third-party US company from its berth next to the whaling fleet in Japan, the activists said. Renamed New Atlantis and registered in Tuvalu, it was delivered by a Japanese crew to north Queensland, where they thought it was to be converted into a pleasure craft. Throughout the sale, the Japanese government was unaware that it was doing business with Sea Shepherd, skipper Lock
y MacLean said on Monday. Following a refit, the ship was reflagged to Australia and it is due in Hobart on Tuesday for unveiling ahead of the summer's Antarctic conflict, where the hardline activists will make their strongest bid yet to disrupt the whaling season. Its New Atlantis disguise has been dropped and the vessel named Sam Simon, after the American founding producer of The Simpsons, an animal welfare advocate, who donated its purchase price.

This year's Championship could yet be decided in the courts with reports claiming Ferrari are considering protesting the result of the Brazilian GP. Sebastian Vettel clinched the Championship on Sunday afternoon at the Interlagos circuit after bringing his RB8 home in sixth place. That meant he beat Fernando Alonso to the crown by three points. There was some debate in the wake of the grand prix as to whether Vettel had overtaken Jean-Eric Vergne under yellow boards as video footage appeared to show this with the German completing the move before he passes a green boards. In the immediate aftermath Sky F1 pundit Martin Brundle reported that he had "spoken to Gary Connolly, one of the race stewards, and he
has absolutely confirmed that they were red-and-yellow boards" and not yellow ones. No investigations were launched and Vettel retained his sixth place, winning his third World Champion. However, Ferrari are now reportedly "evaluating" the footage and could lodge a protest. "We're looking at the video. We have until tomorrow to file an appeal," Ferrari spokesman Luca Colajanni told The Associated Press on Thursday. According to BBC Sport it is "Alonso, who was

In September 2011, the draft is due to be discussed with the multidisciplinary committee at the Ministry of Health. On 11 January 2010, the Pancyprian Alzheimer Association was asked to cooperate in the development of a Cyprus Strategic Plan for Alzheimer's disease.This was during a meeting on Alzheimer's disaease, which had been requested by Ms Noni Diakou (President of the Pancyprian Alzheimer Association) with the Minister of Health of Cyprus, Dr Christos Patsalides. The Minister pledged his support in the fight against the disease and asked colleages from the Ministry of Health, under the guidance of the director of the Mental Health Services, Dr. Yiannis Kalakoutas, to closely co-operate with the Pancyprian Alzheimer Association so as to prepare the Cyprus Strategic Plan for Alzheimer. At the meeting, Professor Magda Tsolaki, President of the Greek Association of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders was present and the Minister of Health asked

Dissertation (Ph.D.), California Institute of Technology. http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechETD:etd-05252006-221412 This thesis investigates the application of formal engineering design synthesis methodologies to the development of sensor and control systems for intelligent vehicles. A formal engineering design synthesis methodology based on evolutionary computation is presented, with special emphasis on dealing with modern engineering design challenges, such as high or variable complexity of design solutions, multiple conflicting design objectives, and noisy evaluation results, etc. The efficacy of the
evolutionary design synthesis method is validated through multiple different case studies, where a variety of novel design solutions are generated to represent different engineering design trade-offs, and they have achieved performances comparable to, if not better than, that of hand-coded solutions in the same simplified environment. More importantly, this automatic design synthesis method shows

1989: If there is an art form we can glean from the many photographs and videos of the Tiananmen Square Demonstrations in 1989, it must be found in the multi-hued banners that converged on the Square and surrounding streets made by the students from different universities around China. Often their idiosyncratically-painted Chinese characters contrasted stylistically, yet intricately, to compose, as seen from a distance, rich textures of abstract gestural markings to the millions who watched around the world without more than a guess as to translations. They are best seen the nearer in date we come to the government's crackdown, such as on May 13, when the students began a hunger strike in anticipation of the highly-publicized state visit of Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, which sent spontaneous crowds streaming in. Or when the government declared martial law on May 20th. It seemed that each new official call for the demonstrators and students to leave the
square brought still more demonstrators and students, all unfurling wind-strewn banners and flags from newly energized ranks. Surviving posters from the demonstrations or those that soon after sought to commemorate the protestors killed in the June 4th massacre and in the weeks following are few, but this one of the massive Goddess of Democracy statue that students assembled from polystyrene and paper-mâché and carried through the square has

It has become cultural cliché that everyone – old enough to be aware that day – remembers where they were when they heard JFK had been shot … or when the planes hit the World Trade Center … or 70 years ago when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Yet by whatever definition we now describe such memories does not change the fact that they indeed will last a lifetime. And as in the events described above, they will also transcend generational experience. Friday, November 22, 1963 was a pleasant day for the week before Thanksgiving. I was a first-grade student at the Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic elementary school located on Chelten Avenue in the Germantown section of Philadelphia. It was close to lunch when the quiet of the classroom was broken by the unexpected squawk of the intercom system. At first just a confusing message to this 7-year-old, “Please say a prayer, the President has been shot!” Initially all of us were puzzled,

In an opinion piece in the Washington Post Monday, former George W. Bush speechwriter Marc Thiessen quoted a report from the Government Accountability Institute, a conservative research organization, asking why President Obama is “skipping“ his daily intelligence meetings and only showing up 44 percent of the time. Thiessen quotes the report as saying that through mid-June 2012, the president “attended his PDB [presidential daily brief] just 536 times — or 43.8 percent of the time. During 2011 and the first half of 2012, his attendance became even less frequent — falling
to just over 38 percent. By contrast,” Thiessen writes, Obama’s predecessor (and Thiessen’s former boss, it should be noted) “almost never missed his daily intelligence meeting.” The White House responded by calling the column, which is currently one of the most read on the Post’s Web site and has sparked nearly 5,000 comments, “hilarious.” White House spokesperson Jay Carney said that Obama gets

CSEM partners with Nano Retina to restore sight to the blind Neuchâtel, 8 February 2011 - CSEM announced today that its scientists and engineers are collaborating with Nano-Retina to develop an implantable bionic chip, especially designed to return sight to those blinded by retinal degenerative diseases. There are currently about 10 million people worldwide aged 40 and older who are legally blind, most of them due to degenerative conditions like age-related macular degeneration (AMD). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), AMD is the third cause worldwide of visual impairment, accounting for 8.7% of such cases. To date, there is no preventive or curative treatment available for this condition. Nano-Retina Inc, an Israeli company with laboratories in Herzliya, Israel and Dallas Texas USA, is developing an ultra small, high resolution and easy to implant, artificial retina designed to restore sight. This bionic retina incorporates various nano-size components in one tiny, flat implant, approximating the size
of a child's fingernail bed. Nano-Retina has entrusted CSEM - given its state-of-the-art competencies in the area of low power IC design and photosensors - with the development of an artificial retinal chip. The aim of this project is to develop a new generation of tiny retinal implants that compensate for the damaged retina, without having to resort to an operation

Investigators carry bags containing aborted foetuses found in the mortuary storage room of a Buddhist temple in Bangkok. More than 2,000 illegally aborted foetuses have now been uncovered at the temple. More than 2,000 bodies, wrapped in
plastic bags, have now been uncovered in the temple’s three mortuary rooms and police said they have now finished searching the building. After authorities found 348 foetuses in an initial search earlier in the week, two temple undertakers confessed to stashing them, leading to the new inspection, police said. “A total of 1,654 foetuses were found today in two rooms,” Colonel Sombat Milintajinda, area commander of Bangkok Metropolitan Police,

A defected military officer in the Libyan army has confirmed the death of Mutassim Gaddafi in Brega. The officer reportedly witnessed the dead body of Muammar Gaddafi's son after a NATO strike on the city where fierce fighting has been raging for weeks. This news is trending on Twitter and cannot be independently verified. Moatassem-Billah Gaddafi (Arabic: مُعْتَصِمٌ بِٱللهِ ٱلْقَذَّافِيّ, also transliterated as Mutassim or Al-Mu'tasim) (born 1977) is a former Libyan Army officer, and the National Security Adviser of Libya since 2010. He is the fifth son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. In April 2009, Moatassem met with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the highest-level diplomatic exchange between the two countries since they resumed diplomatic relations several years earlier. He spent several years in Egypt following an internal leadership dispute. Independent terrorism consultant Evan Kohlmann, writing about the death in Libya of Ibn Al Sheikh Al Lib
i, a former captive in the CIA's "high value detainee" program, suggested Gaddafi had played a role in the death. Under torture directed by the CIA Al Libi confessed to using trainers from Iraq to train jihadists how to use Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction. Senior officials in

Thanks for protecting us, and please protect yourselves, too By Attorney General Roy Cooper On Veterans Day we honor the commitment and dedication of the men and women who have served our country in the armed forces. But it’s also a good time to remind our veterans and service members of some of the dangers they can face here at home. While veterans, reservists and active duty military personnel have worked to protect our nation, my office works to protect them—and all North Carolinians—from frauds, scams, and unfair business practices. Scams often target retired military personnel. We recently warned about scammers who tell veterans they’ll help them navigate the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits process, but instead rip them off. In most cases, individuals must be accredited by the VA in order to represent veterans seeking benefits, and they aren’t supposed to charge for their services unless they’re helping to appeal a VA decision. If you need assistance with your benefits, get accredited help. Search the VA’s website or contact an accredited Veterans Service Organization such as the NC Division of Veterans Affairs Men
and women currently serving in our Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, Coast Guard, National Guard and Reserves are also targeted by frauds and scams. Here are some of the most common consumer problems that military personnel face: Active duty military

August 29, 2007 All over the world many people have either heard or chanted “Om.” Sometimes Om is chanted with great reverence and meaning by spiritual mystics; other times one will hear Om being chanted in jest, as a popular mocking of metaphysics. And perhaps most often it is chanted by rote in a yoga class, for instance, without much thought or knowledge behind the sound. However the Om vibration is one of the oldest and most sacred sounds in the world, meant to move energy and create dynamic change within the person chanting and the environment at large. Let us take a look at this sound vibration and all its fascinating implications. Aum or Om is considered to be the planet’s oldest and most important Sanskrit mantra–one that forms a basis for all other prayers and chants of worship in the Hindu tradition. “Om” is actually more aptly spelled “Aum,” for the vibration actually contains three
distinct sounds. The three sounds within Om are delineated by the “A” meaning the beginning of all; the “U” representing the middle of all; and the “M” representing the end. Om represents the ultimate of all things and of all sounds. The “A’ is produced with the mouth open; the “U” with the mouth slightly closed; and the “M” with the mouth complete closed. Thus, A, U, M also represent a trinity energy, an image we find throughout Hindu teachings, representing the energies of creating, sustenance and destruction. All things, projects,

The 2012 Sundance Film Festival is starting to wind down, but studios are not lacking for distribution deals. IFC Films made two acquisition deals today for Liberal Arts and The Pact. How I Met Your Mother star Josh Radnor’s second directorial feature Liberal Arts is one of the most buzzed about films of the fest. The plot concerns a newly single man (Radnor) who returns to his alma mater and ends up falling in love with a sophomore. Last year’s breakout star of the festival, Elizabeth Olsen, stars as Radnor’s love interest. The film garnered multiple standing ovations, and more than a few are comparing Radnor’s sensibilities to those of a young Cameron Crowe. Variety reports that IFC Films will handle North American rights to the pic, and will give it a theatrical release later this year. In addition to Liberal Arts, Radnor wrote and directed his debut happythankyoumoreplease. Hit the jump for acquisition news regarding the thriller The Pact. On the other end of the tonal spectrum

Wednesday, July 22, 2009 charity square #1 - jimbo's hook The first of the blankets we are working on is in red, for the Country Fire Authority. I've used a pattern called Supernova, by Chris Simon. Click here for the free online pattern. From memory, Jimbo's hook is 5.0mm. The yarn for this project needed to be machine washable wool, which I didn't have in my recycled stash. So I made a plea to the girls in my local crochet group, and Daphne came to the rescue. The yarn is Cleckheaton Country 8ply, and it
took one 50g ball. It mentions in the pattern that you shouldn't panic if the square turns out wavy, and that you can flatten it out with your hands. Well... mine turned out REALLY, REALLY wavy!

By Raymond Linex II MILDRED — For the second straight season, and for only the third time in the school’s history, Mildred will play for a chance to get to the state finals in football. It’s an opportunity coach Patrick Harvell wants his team to understand. “I’m 44 years old, and during those 44 years, there have only been a few opportunities to achieve something great and to achieve something you’ll be proud of the rest of your life,” Harvell said. “These guys have an opportunity to do that.” Mildred has never advanced beyond the semifinals. In 1976, the Eagles lost 26-0 to Ben Bolt in the Class B semis. Last year, they suffered a 35-28 loss to Cisco. Friday, Mildred (12-1) takes on a streaking Sonora team at 7:30 p.m. in Marble Falls. The winner will face the Elysian Fields-East Bernard winner next Thursday at Cowboys Stadium for the Class 2A Division II title. Sonora, which owns four state titles, sports an 11-3 record, but has won seven straight since a mind-boggling 27-21 loss to Coahoma, which went
2-8. The other two losses came to Alpine, which won Sonora’s District 3-2A DII, and Wall (12-1), which faces Daingerfield this week in the 2A DI semifinals. “A lot of times, people put too much stock into the first part of the season,” Harvell said. “At this point

Nearly half of about 67 million Americans with high blood pressure are not effectively treating their condition and face a high risk of a heart attack or stroke, a U.S. health official said on Tuesday. About 36 million people have uncontrolled high blood pressure, a condition caused when too much force is exerted by blood as it is pumped through the body and moves against vessel walls, according to a report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released Tuesday. "The bottom line is... most of those in this country who have (high blood pressure) don't have their numbers under control, and because of that we have a very high burden of
disease," said Thomas Frieden, director of the CDC. High blood pressure, a risk factor for heart disease and stroke, contributes to nearly 1,000 deaths a day and $131 billion in annual direct healthcare costs, Frieden said.

sound that still rocks us today. None of these five black Catholic schoolgirls was older than 17, but lead singer Arlene Smith had a voice that could – and still can – raise the roof. Classics such as "Maybe" (written by Smith) paved the way for immortal girl gangs like the Shangri-Las, the Crystals and the Chiffons. blog comments

15 Jun. 2010 REPLAY LAUNCHES IPHONE APPReplay is making its debut in the Apple world with the launch of a Replay branded iPhone App, the result of a collaboration with the English music phenomenon RjDj, whose music philosophy is close to Replay's own heritage of re-making, re-creating and re-elaborating. The innovative Replay iPhone App elevates music into the new genre of reactive music, which samples and replays sounds surrounding the listener in real time affected by its activities and by the environment, taking advantage of the iPhone’s technical potential. Accordingly, the artists Kids on DSP have created two new RjDj reactive songs, "Replay Atlantis" and "Replay Speedometer," which not only play in the Replay iPhone App but also in the Rj
Voyager iPad application. “Replay in Atlantis” takes listeners on a dive into Atlantis, a wonderful underwater world. Noises and sounds of the environment are transformed in real time into underwater sounds, where floating harmonies combine with deep bass lines to create an unparalleled real time acoustic sensation. “Replay Speedometer,” on the other hand, accelerates listeners’ worlds, moving people into the cockpit of a spaceship at light speed

The announcement made this week means that Nvidia has placed its nForce chipset line on hold, pending the outcome of Intel's suit against the chip maker, according to PC Magazine. Intel has alleged that a previous chipset agreement between it and Nvidia does not apply to the Core or Nehalem series of processors. "We have said that we will continue to innovate integrated solutions for Intel's FSB architecture," said Robert Sherbin, spokesman for Nvidia. "We firmly believe that this market has a long healthy life ahead. But because of Intel's improper claims to customers and the market that we aren't licensed to the new DMI bus and its unfair business tactics, it is effectively impossible for us to market chipsets for future
CPUs. So, until we resolve this matter in court next year, we'll postpone further chipset investments." A year ago, Apple officially made the move to Nvidia chipsets with the GeForce 9400M G integrated controller, a single chip of which 70 percent is devoted to graphics processing functions. It was then that Apple embraced Nvidia's MCP79 platform, married with Intel Core processors. It was later extended to iM

Distrito C is an ambitious project designed to consolidate 40,000 employees in Madrid from Spain’s largest company, Telefonica. The complex includes four phases of three buildings each, for a total of twelve structures. The design and materials for the buildings are identical so as to streamline the construction
process and keep time and material waste to a minimum. And by keeping construction and production as simple as possible, Telefonica maintains the clean, unified look the company is after. Local architect Rafael de La-Hoz designed Distrito C with the hot Spanish sun in mind. A special type of glass, designed specifically for this project, has been installed throughout as a means of reflecting the sun’s heat. Protruding panels act as sun visors and give the buildings a unique aesthetic character. Connecting each of the four phases is a covered walkway that shades people below. On top

RY: Away from the present – fiction as education AW: fiction as reclaiming / addressing unwritten histories Q: is there a tension
between the pastoral and the revisionist? SD: Eternal questions or the idea that belief systems alter over time. Why does faith provoke death? Historical fiction is key to understanding the past.

Antietam was formed more than a quarter-century ago, a New York City first-wave indie band that rose from the ashes of Louisville, Kentucky's Babylon Dance Band. Lead by the incendiary Les Paul guitar of Tara Key, for 20 years the group has operated as a trio, with Key's husband Tim Harris on bass, and drummer Josh Madell. Across eight studio albums they have chiseled a sound that once was loose, chaotic, and sprawling into a fiercely focused rock 'n' roll maelstrom - harnessing the power of Key's guitar and her primal singing into their own version of pop
music. Released on May 10, 2011, Antietam's eighth studio album, Tenth Life is the culmination of a creative arc the group has followed for the last quarter-century. On 2008's epic 2-CD, 3-LP Opus Mixtum, the band spread their wings and unleashed not just their patented guitar-heavy bombast, with Tara Key's explosive Les Paul and emotive vocals taking the power trio through their

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (FL Today) -- Taco was looking for love Wednesday morning. The 6-foot-tall emu approached cars and even a man on a scooter on State Road A1A, but found no feathered friends. The lusty emu had jumped a 4-foot fence at his owner's home on Lincoln Avenue, wandering several blocks out to the highway. As people made their way to work and school about 7 a.m., Taco strolled through traffic. He zigged and
zagged as Brevard County sheriff's deputies directed traffic and tried to find the owner, Paul Eaton. "It was walking toward some folks, which was a major concern," said Sheriff's Lt. Alex Herrera. "It's a big bird." Officials wanted to prevent the bird from harming someone, and also stop drivers from hitting the flightless bird, which in a crash, could "injure someone, to include the bird," he said. Deputies found Eaton on the beach, and he showed up to help corral Taco. Throwing a T-shirt

By AMY ABBOTT © St. Petersburg Times, published April 26, 2001 This is a project that has been on George Pappas' mind for years. The Holocaust, the civil rights movement, the death of the rainforest: All these social injustices and more have compelled Pappas to put brush to canvas and create a collection of paintings titled Crime Scenes. The
35-plus paintings depict some of the human-made horrors that have plagued civilization throughout history. Pappas hopes to reach out to people and help them understand the history

5C is a pretty cool move, different properties depending on where the opponent is. Close-range its a punch that cancels into special attacks, most notably A/B/X-Pulse, which leads to the nice, simple combo: close 5C, A/B/X-Pulse, Pin Missile. Hard to pull off because close 5C is balls to hit with, but if you get it, tons of damage (assuming super meter) is abound. If you don't have Meter when landing close 5C, you can just combo into Dark Pulse, which leads into Night Slash, and free Night Slashes are great. Far 5C on the other hand, is nice and (comparatively) easy to use, and cancels into normals, and provides a different combo approach, the balance here is that you're not getting combos into Pin Missile from Far 5C, though :< So far the best combo I have off Far 5C is 5C, 5A, 5B, B-Arm Pretty simple combos you
can just throw into your game. In other news, j.A and A-Arm have some... odd properties. I've had j.A hit 5 times once, and A-Arm hit 4. I'll see if I can
