Security Council President Briefs Press on Syria

Eugène-Richard Gasana, Permanent Representative of the Republic of Rwanda to the UN and President of the Security Council for the month of April, speaks to correspondents following a closed Council meeting on the humanitarian and human rights situation in Syria.family's Hinduism. "The Hindu frame of mind enables them to accept the trajectory," she says, "and that's a good thing. It means they're not constantly disappointed by the kid."

Flipping through his records, she notes that the patient's fraternal twin died at birth, while the teen himself had hovered precariously close to death after suffering oxygen deprivation, a factor that is now associated with autism. "Interesting," she remarks. "You know, if that had been an American family, they'd have sued the hospital."

The father had asked her opinion, she says, on whether his son would be suited to working in his school doing photocopying. This, too, provokes another disquieting comparison with Americans. "Parents here would be saying, 'Is Xeroxing all he will ever be capable of doing?' " But Hinduism


is about karma, she says. Accepting the teen's autism is a chance to redeem karma, "so the next generation might bring good things."

In the same article, she also tells a mother that her drug use probably did cause her child's autism (which is "okay", because Siegel can tell she is just pretending to be upset):

High dramas have included the case recounted in Siegel's book "Helping Children With Autism Learn," in which a mother was released early from prison so she could attend the evaluation of her profoundly autistic daughter. While Siegel listened to her pregnancy history, the mother cried what Siegel called crocodile tears as she documented a heroin and crack habit. She asked Siegel if drugs had caused her child's problems. Many clinicians would have told hernot to blame herself, even offered a paternalistic pat on the shoulder, but not Siegel, who doesn't practice self-censorship, either in person or on the page. "I said, 'Yes, I think so,' " she wrote. While the drugs were not uniquely responsible for causing autism, they are likely to damage an already vulnerable fetus, she notes.

And also opines that it's perfectly fine for parents who don't like their autistic kids to take them back to the orphanage:

Perhaps the most haunting and poignant case, which she described in her book "The World of the Autistic Child," involved an upper-class couple, both raised in a South American country, who adopted a child from their country of origin. The husband was in his early 50s and had adult children; his wife


was childless, a decade younger and the instigator of the adoption. By the time the child was 3, it became clear that he was autistic and severely mentally retarded. Older parents, because of their lower energy reserves and more fixed lifestyles, generally have a harder time with autism, says Siegel, and this couple's struggle was exacerbated by the wife's realization that she hated herself in the role of mother. Siegel and her staff suggested they return the child to the orphanage. Both parents cried. Months later, Siegel found out the child had been returned. "For them, it had been the right decision," she says.

"I see deep geeks of all sorts," says Bryna Siegel, a clinical psychologist who runs the autism clinic at the University of California, San Francisco,Waikato River with her friends, just as a nearby dam’s floodgates were opening.

The craze has also been the source of several social media controversies over the years.

In the days after the East Village gas explosion in March 2015, numerous residents lined up outside the blast site — where two people died and 25 more were injured — to snap pictures of themselves, even as rescuers continued to search for life in the ruins. The photos wound up sparking widespread outrage online.

In January 2016, a couple was blasted on social media after they snapped a selfie in front of a burning skyscraper in Dubai. At least 14 people were hurt in the fire.

As we approach the summer World Cup, few people in world football would deny that Manchester United and Spain number one David De Gea is the finest goalkeeper around.

With Manuel Neuer out injured with a broken foot and Gianluigi Buffon on his last legs with Juventus, De Gea has swooped in to sit atop the throne.

His presence makes Spain's starting XI even more formidable, with La Roja one of the hot favourites to claim glory in Russia.

In preparation for the international showpiece, Spain faced Germany in a very entertaining friendly on Saturday night, which ended 1-1 in Dusseldorf.

De Gea was at his formidable best, while Barcelona's Marc-Andre Ter Stegen also put on a masterclass in the opposing net.

However, what De Gea said after the match will certainly notOn Friday, ESPN's Outside the Lines published a thoroughly reported and damning story about the Baltimore Ravens' handling of the Ray Rice case. Based on new information, though, it's apparent that one major part of the story was awkwardly mishandled, for reasons that aren't quite clear.

One of the biggest revelations in the story is Rice's belief that Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti tried to bribe Rice into staying quiet about the whole incident by promising him a future job with the team despite having just been released. OTL reported that Rice believed this to be the case based an a few text messages that Bisciotti had sent him. Here's how OTL wrote the scene up in it's original story:

LimeWire, one of the world's most popular peer-to-peer filesharing websites, has been shut down after a four-year legal battle with the US music industry.

A federal court in New York issued a "permanent injunction" against LimeWire late on Tuesday, ruling that the platform intentionally caused a "massive scale of infringement" by permitting the sharing of thousands of copyrighted works by its 50 million monthly users.

Founded in 2000 by Mark Gorton, a former Wall Street trader, LimeWire is now restricted from allowing the searching and sharing of copyrighted material. The website will continue "working with the music industry to move forward", a LimeWire spokeswoman confirmed.

US judge Kimba Wood ruled that record companies "have suffered – and


will continue to suffer – irreparable harm from LimeWire's inducement of widespread infringement of their works", adding that the potential damages were "staggering".

The court also ruled that LimeWire should "use all reasonable technological means to immediately cease and desist" copyright infringements still taking place through applications already downloaded.

Yesterday's court order comes after a four-year legal battle between LimeWire and the Recording Industry Association of America, the representative body for many of the world's largest record labels.

In May, Wood found LimeWire liable for widespread copyright infringement. The level of damages faced by the site's New York-based parent company, Lime Group, will be decided in January 2011.

The RIAA said LimeWire has cost the music industry hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.

According RIAA figures, US recorded music sales fell to$7.7bn in 2009 from $14.5bn in 1999. The rise to prominence of peer-to-peer filesharing networks is singled out as a primary factor for this decline by the RIAA.

The site's popularity is reflected in a survey by NDP Group, which found that LimeWire was used by 58% of people who have downloaded music from a peer-to-peer network in the year from May 2009.

Following Tuesday's injunction, the RIAA said: "For the better part of the last decade, LimeWire and Gorton have violated the law.

"The court has now signed an injunction that will start to unwind the massive piracy machine that LimeWire and Gorton used to enrich themselves immensely.

"In January, the court will conduct a trial to determine the appropriate level of damages necessary to compensate the record companies for the


billions and billions of illegal downloads that occurred through the LimeWire system."

Earlier this year, LimeWire planned to release a service called Spoon, which would allow users to legally purchase copyrighted tracks. The deal fell through, however, when record labels were told that the site would need at least a year to migrate illicit filesharers to the new service.

Napster, which claimed more than 100 million users at the height of its popularity at the beginning of the decade, collapsed in 2002 under the strain of a number of legal challenges.

The company reinvented itself as a legal download service in 2004, later launching what it claimed was "the world's largest and most comprehensive MP3 store", before unveiling a "freemium" model – similar to that of Spotify – last year.the Portrait Society, delves into vintage photographic styles compiling a series of family mantle pieces and adding to them contemporary aesthetic appeal.

The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in November 2002 led to infection in over 8000 individuals in 29 countries, and by August 2003 had resulted in 774 deaths worldwide. In Hong Kong 1755 individuals were diagnosed with SARS of whom 299 died. The agent causing SARS was found to be a RNA coronavirus (CoV), aptly named SARS-CoV [@bib1], a member of coronaviridei which causes gastrointestinal, respiratory and systemic diseases in animals. Some members, OC43 (HCoV-OC43) and HCoV-229E have long been known to cause common cold in human beings. SARS-CoV caused an influenza-like syndrome of malaise, rigors, fatigue and high fevers, which progressed to atypical pneumonia, with shortness of breath and poor oxygen exchange in the alveoli.

Father Francis Xavier Fischer blessed their work while on 31 July 1844 the first five religious - including herself - signed the statutes for this movement though the number of signatories soon dropped to four on 8 May 1846 with Merkert's sister's death from typhus.

Wolfgang Kullmann further goes on to say, “Hera’s and Athena’s disappointment over the victory of Aphrodite in the Judgement of Paris determines the whole conduct of both goddesses in The Iliad and is the cause of their hatred for Paris, the Judge, and his town Troy.” Hera and Athena then continue to support the Achaean forces throughout the poem because Paris is part of the Trojans, while Aphrodite aids Paris and the Trojans. The emotions between the goddesses often translate to actions they take in the mortal world. For example, in Book 3 of The Iliad, Paris challenges any of the

Othryades, the remaining Spartan, goes back to stand in his formation with mortal wounds while the remaining two Argives go back to Argos to report their victory.  Thus, the Spartans claimed this as a victory, as their last man displayed the ultimate feat of bravery by maintaining his position in the phalanx.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi Christians quietly celebrated Christmas on Tuesday amid improved security, more than a year after the country declared victory over Islamic State militants who threatened to end their 2,000-year history in Iraq.

Christianity in Iraq dates back to the first century of the Christian era, when the apostles Thomas and Thaddeus are believed to have preached the Gospel on the fertile flood plains of the rivers Tigris and Euphrates.

Iraq is home to many different eastern rite churches, both Catholic and Orthodox, traditionally a sign of the country’s ethnic and religious diversity.

But war and sectarian conflict shrank Iraq’s Christian population from 1.5 million to about 400,000 after the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. Following the onslaught of Islamic State in 2014 and the brutalextensive.

In Qaraqosh, a town also known as Hamdaniya which lies 15 km (10 miles) west of Mosul, the damage is still visible.

At the city’s Immaculate Church, which belongs to the Syrian Catholic denomination and has not yet been rebuilt since the militants set it on fire in 2014, Christians gathered for midnight mass on Monday, surrounded by blackened walls still tagged with Islamic State graffiti.

Dozens of worshippers prayed and received communion, and then gathered around the traditional bonfire in the church’s courtyard.

Before the militant onslaught, Qaraqosh was the largest Christian settlement in Iraq, with a population of more than 50,000. But today only a few hundred families have returned.

Faced with a choice to convert, pay a tax or die, many Christians in the Nineveh Plains fled to nearby

Richard Wolin and John Abromeit, (Lincoln and London: University of Nebraska Press, 2005); 224 + xxx pages. Ian Angus (Simon Fraser University) Between 1928 and 1933 Herbert Marcuse wrote five essays in which he attempted to lay the groundwork for a synthesis of Martin Heidegger's phenomenological existentialism and a renovated Marxism: ―Contributions to a Phenomenology of Historical Materialism‖ (1928), ―On Concrete Philosophy‖ (1929), ―On the Problem of the Dialectic‖ (Part 1, 1930; Part 2, 1931), ―New Sources on the Foundations of Historical Materialism‖ (1932), and ―On the Philosophical Foundation of the Concept of Labour in Economics‖ (1933). Heideggerian Marxism for the first time collects these essays in English, three of which were available only in old editions of the Telos journal;


first published in Jürgen Habermas (ed.), Antworten auf Herbert Marcuse (Frankfurt am Main: Suhrkamp, 1968) and represents one of the two significant strains of New Left interpretation of Marcuse's early work. It is translated in Robert Pippin, Andrew Feenberg, and Charles P. Webel (eds.) Marcuse: Critical Theory and the Promise of Utopia (South Hadley: Bergin and Harvey, 1988). The editors of this volume share this view. See John Abromeit's argument that the interest in Heidegger merely ―supplements‖ Marcuse's Marxism in ―Herbert Marcuse's Critical Encounter with Martin Heidegger‖ in Herbert Marcuse: A Critical Reader (Routledge: New York and London, 2004). This interpretation allows Abromeit to play down Marcuse's insistence that Heidegger's embrace of Nazism was a happening for philosophy. Richard Wolin takes the same view in the Introduction tothe volume under review. (xxiv) 116 Symposium: Canadian Journal of Continental Philosophy ered up again‖ (84), the distance between Marx and Marcuse's Hegel seems very small. For Marcuse's Hegel, the later works such as Philosophy of Right or Philosophy of History were subject to ―a curtailment and transformation of the original concept of history‖ (84) that was to be found in Phenomenology of Mind and Science of Logic. Marcuse thus suggests that Marx's critique of Hegel ―starts at exactly the point where Hegel began falling away from the original and full concept of history.‖ (84) One suspects that the point of the critique is in Marcuse's view to recover the original motivation behind Hegel's early work-but he doesn't go quite far enough to say this, perhaps because he


―Psychic Thermidor and the Rebirth of Rebellious Subjectivity‖ in (eds.) Robert Pippin, Andrew Feenberg, Charles P. Webel, Critical Theory and the Promise of Utopia (Massachusetts: Bergin and Garvey, 1988). The account in this latter essay is, however, ambiguous. While it asserts the continuing influence of Heidegger on Marcuse's work, it does not actually show this influence in its discussions of Marcuse's later writing. Habermas' assessment that Heideggerian categories persist in Marcuse's later Eros and Civilization is quoted in the Introduction to the volume under review. (xi) Other representatives of the view that Marcuse's later work remained deeply influenced by his Heideggerian period include Paul Piccone and Alexander Delfini, ―Herbert Marcuse's Heideggerian Marxism‖ in Telos, n. 6, Fall 1970 and Andrew Feenberg, Heidegger and Marcuse (New York: Routledge, 2005).situation is ―with the historical possibility of the radical act.‖ (3) 6 The revolutionary deed is necessary in the sense that it opposes the essence of capitalism, which is defined through the alienation of human action where one's ―own deed becomes an alien power opposed to him.‖ (Marcuse quoting Marx, 4) 7 Revolutionary activity thus defines the doer as much as the done through a radical grasping of the human essence in which the doing itself is primary. From the radical act Marcuse spins out the other Marxist concepts-the immanence of history, social being, nature, reproduction of material life, the grounding of spirit on material reality, class, the universal class (proletariat), world market, science, and the class consciousness in which the historical act finds its social carrier. Marcuse


from The German Ideology (written 1845–6) at this point and at others relies on The Holy Family (1845). His familiarity with those of Marx's texts from this period that were available, combined with his study of their Hegelian background, mitigates somewhat the shock of recognition of a notion of sensuous praxis in the 1844 Manuscripts parallel to his own  Heideggerian' one. Review Essay 119 phy of concrete Dasein whose appropriate form is ―dialectical motility‖ and which contains the possibility of a return to authentic, true existence. (14) The key contribution is then pinpointed as ―the moment of decision-resoluteness‖ (15), which is only possible as a ―disavowal‖ of the present. (13) It is thus the concept of the radical act which is the basis for the attempted synthesisthe ground for the motility through which the world happens. Marcuse's next essay, ―On Concrete Philosophy,‖ takes up the question of the role of philosophy in the world. The present situation of Dasein is one of existential distress in which the role of philosophy is restricted to one of helping to address distress. The situation of humanity and its historical activity have encountered truths which it is the task of philosophy to express. This is because the historical situation of a world has ceased to be a simple unity. In the historical present neither individuals nor a total unified situation are the ultimate constituents of the world. Rather, ―higher unities‖ such as communities and societies-Marcuse does not say ―classes‖ here but he surely must have had it in


mind as the terminus ad quem of his argument-are the phenomena in which the world is lived. 9 He draws on this phenomenological thematic to state that 9 Marcuse himself puts the phrase ―higher unities‖ in quotation marks (41), probably to mark the established phenomenological lineage of the term. In his prefatory exposition of the analytic of Dasein in Being and Time, Heidegger referred to the problem of what constitutes the unity of a personality with reference to Dilthey, Husserl and Scheler. Martin Heidegger, Being and Time, (tr.) Joan Stambaugh (Albany: State University of New York 122 Symposium: Canadian Journal of Continental Philosophy such higher unities are ―[w]hat appears under phenomenological scrutiny‖ and that they appear ―in their respective life-spaces.‖ (41) Philosophy is thus grounded in the elaborationessay, ―On the Problem of the Dialectic,‖ is ostensibly a review of Siegfried Marck's Dialectic in Contemporary Philosophy, but it goes far beyond that in presenting an account of dialectic in Plato and summarising the results of his Habilitationsschrift on Hegel's dialectic on which he was working at the time. The main point of Marcuse's account of Plato is that dialectic was not primarily a method of knowledge, but a process of the becoming of being in which the unifying and separating of being occurs through motility, which is the passing of every being into non-being or otherness. ―Be-ing is only in this motility, change and multiplicity and is only in them as unity, permanence and _____________________ Press, 1996), 44. Marcuse remarked that Husserl's studies have not yet


personalities.' A more contemporary usage would refer to these as ―social identities.‖ Review Essay 123 sameness. Being is inherently dialectical and for that reason can only be comprehended dialectically.‖ (58) Dialectic thus refers to the motility of being. In Hegel, this motility is determined as historical in a manner that puts together ancient dialectic with the Kantian transcendental synthesis of the ―I think‖ through the problem of ―life.‖ ―The primordial basis of the Hegelian dialectic is the being of life and its specific motility.‖ (70) The living unity of ego and world that comprises life occurs historically through a ―sublation‖ (Aufhebung) in which its given stage falls into negativity, otherness. ―[T]he concrete happening of living ... is always merely a result of a constant ―sublation‖ (―negation‖) of thesuch, characterised by duration, permanence and its burdensome nature. Labour requires concentration, produces both the things of the world and the labourer, and puts the labourer under the reign of the thing-throws him or her into negativity. Through labour humans become historical because in labouring one has ―stepped out of his own 124 Symposium: Canadian Journal of Continental Philosophy personal sphere in order to occupy a well-determined place in an already organised and differentiated setting that is divided into different corporations, occupations, classes, etc. He has found his specific place as a part in one of these larger settings.‖ (140) Labour is the activity through which Dasein is incorporated into the motility of being. III The core of the proposed synthesis of Marcuse's ―Heideggerian Marxist‖ essays is the


interpretation of Hegel that it is done through the concept of the motility of ―life‖-not that of logic or history. This concept, in a certain sense, registers his debt to Heidegger, though not directly, but by returning to and developing the concept of life from Wilhelm Dilthey's Lebensphilosophie from which Heidegger's analyses of Dasein themselves began. In the conclusion to his Habilitationsschrift Hegel's Ontology and the Theory of Historicity, which he had hoped to present to Heidegger, Marcuse pointed to the understanding of life as historicity that united Hegel and Dilthey. He then criticised Dilthey's reliance on Hegel's later work, which contained a ―secondary and derivative concept of history in Hegel's work,‖ in order to suggest that the incorporation of nature into history by the later Hegel alsoinfected Dilthey. 10 The proper and original concept of historicity in Hegel, Marcuse asserted, was ―that exceptional mode of the self-relation 10 Marcuse's 1932 published version of his Habilitationsschrift appeared in English as Herbert Marcuse, Hegel's Ontology and the Theory of Historicity, (tr.) S. Benhabib (Cambridge: The MIT Press, 1987), 323. 126 Symposium: Canadian Journal of Continental Philosophy of self-consciousness to its own motility.‖ 11 The exceptional character of life in this sense requires its ontological distinction from nature (63–4, 34) which, against Dilthey and the late Hegel, was understood by Lukács: ―the being of nature-completely ahistorical as an object of physics, historical as the life-space of human Dasein.‖ (67) Therefore, the concept of an absolute only appears in Hegel when the concept of life as historicity ―comes


to a standstill,‖ when it loses its specificity through the absorption of its contrasting category of ahistorical nature. This is why Marcuse criticised Lukács' attempt to maintain a concept of ―correct class consciousness‖ that requires precisely such an absolute and is impossible within the historicity of life. (67) If ―life‖ is taken in this absolute direction, it cannot be understood as ―spirit‖ since the specificity of spirit is thereby lost. 12 Marcuse is thus committed in his Hegel interpretation to maintaining an ontological distinction between nature and history. But such an interpretation must deny the Lukácsian conception of the universality of proletarian class consciousness in favour of its relativity to specific life-spaces (destiny). On the ground of an ontological interpretation of the neo-Kantian distinction between nature and history,to alienation of labour could be definitively and finally overcome in human history through a proletarian revolution. One could argue, for example, that various cycles of alienation and recovery occur within human history and the task of the act of recovery is always to situate itself within a certain alienation in a given life-space in order to aid a specific recovery. Marcuse's attempt to justify Marx's further step through a phenomenology of labour depends on his connection of the authentic self to labour 13 Karl Marx, ―On the Realm of Necessity and the Realm of Freedom‖ in (ed.) Robert C. Tucker, The Marx-Engels Reader (New York: Norton, 1978), 439–41. 128 Symposium: Canadian Journal of Continental Philosophy which ―discloses the truth and plenitude of its being and maintains itself

Review Essay 129 In moving on to a concept of historicity based in Hegel, Marcuse did not escape the vacillation of both wanting a universal perspective on human history and denying its possibility. It is all very well to situate a return to Hegel's dialectic within the neo-Kantian terms of the late 19 th and early 20 th century. It is fine to undermine and radicalise Dilthey's return to Hegel by rejecting the late systemisation of the dialectic for a conception based in the motility of life. But unless the dialectic of domination and servitude that grounds the―the contemporary crisis is, fundamentally, a crisis of contemporary action. An abyss has formed between the motive of the actually performed act or deed and its product. But in consequence of this, the product of the deed, severed 130 Symposium: Canadian Journal of Continental Philosophy from its ontological roots, has withered as well.‖ 15 The primacy of the deed, Marcuse's radical act, in the primal establishment of an order was later recognised more clearly by Heidegger in the essay ―The Origin of the Work of Art.‖ ―Truth happens only by establishing itself in the conflict and sphere opened up by truth itself. Because truth is the opposition of clearing and concealing, there belongs to it what is here to be called establishing.‖ 16 Husserl also used the term


shy away from such Nietzschean Dionysianism because it can be taken in the direction of Nazism. After 1933, Marcuse's position was similar in emphasising reason in a comprehensive Hegelian sense and associating the ―primacy of the act‖ with Nazi decisionism. 19 Marcuse described de- 15 M. M.

In Eros and Civilization (Boston: Beacon Press, 1966) he attempted to defend a certain Nietzschean Dionysianism and turn it in a benign direction.

so, one must characterise the emergence of happening in 20 th century philosophy as entirely an irrationalist decisionism. Thus, Hegel has been rediscovered constantly throughout the 20 th century in an attempt to make sense of its barbaric happenings-the marvellous ones being less of a problem for most philosophers.

One strategy is to reject the phenomenological move in- 23 He was, however, to encounter this issue again and address it in another fashion in Eros and Civilization. So, one may perhaps say that, when the Nazi menace receded in the 1950s, he could return to the philosophical problematic that had engendered his work-though with different reference points. 134 Symposium: Canadian Journal of Continental Philosophy side finite life-spaces in the name of the universality of philosophy. This has been the predominant argument by those who would reject the uncovering of


and infinity. In so doing, he left aside the opening represented in his early essays where he criticised Lukács' conception of ―correct class consciousness‖ because it attempted to base itself on a standpoint outside historicity. (67) The universality of the emancipation of the proletariat would require some such conception of a standpoint outside history. The phenomenological alternative, set aside by Marcuse, would be to recognise the multiplicity of the concept of emancipation insofar as it must always be expressed as an act within a life-space. There would be no final solution to the problem of exploitation in history. The option is still left open, however, to some unity and universality of ―emancipation‖ as such insofar as it manifests a human possibility that becomes multiple when actualised.

Things the Three Little Pigs and the

• The Hawaiian Islands, once known as the Sandwich Islands, form an
archipelago or chain of nineteen islands in the Pacific Ocean.
• The Hawaiian Islands are the exposed peaks of a great undersea mountain
range that was formed by volcanic activity.
• They are almost 2000 miles from the nearest continent and are the most
isolated (alone) group of islands on Earth.

Hawaii Surfing
Hawaii surfing has long been part of Polynesian culture. A sport reserved
for royalty, the ancients would move from their winter homes in the north
shore to their summer homes in the south of the islands to pick up the
best waves all year round.


The sport was popularized by Olympic
swimmer Duke Kahanamoku in the 1920's.

Many of the original volcanoes that formed the islands are now dormant or

active and they regularly spew out lava.

Animals of Hawaii
• Wild animals are found on six of the islands—Hawaii, Maui, Oahu,
Kauai, Molokai, and Lanai. They include deer, wild goats, and wild
pigs. No snakes (except for one very small species) are found on the
islands. The only land reptiles are small lizards and toads. More than
60 percent of the nearly 90 native bird species and more than half of
about 24 native land and marine mammals, reptiles, and amphibians
are threatened, endangered, or extinct.

• Feral pigs are causing harmto the Hawaiian rain forest and other

Polynesians as early as the fourth century A.D., the current severe
environmental damage by pigs apparently began much more recently
and seems to be because non-Polynesian types of pigs were brought
to the area. Polynesian pigs were much smaller, more docile, and less
prone to taking up a wild existence

The warm waters surrounding Hawaii are home to an incredible

Every movement in hula has a specific meaning, and every expression of the dancer's
hands has great significance. The movements of a dancer's body might represent
certain plants, animals, and even war. For example, in imitating a shark or waving palm
tree, the true hula dancer believes he or she becomes the shark or palm.
Chants accompany the movements and help
tell the dancer's story. Traditionally it was not
the dancer's hands but the words that counted
the most. Today, because so few understand
the language of the chants, increasing
emphasis has been placed on movements and
gestures.
The costumes of the ancient dancers consisted
of leis for the head and shoulders, pau or skirt
(made out of tapa), and kupea or anklets
fashioned out of dog-teeth or whale bone.

As the recordings progressed, it was obvious that some songs were just begging for a dose of keyboards. Enter Italian keyboard wizard Alessandro DelVecchio who had been playing with Paul in the mighty Eden's Curse. Ale brought the right sound, melody, and emotion that was needed to really take the music to the next level. During the recording process, the musicians really bonded over their love of music, and friendships new and old were strengthened.

Once all the tracking was completed, it was up to Ty Sims to mix and master the album. It was a challenging task because everyone involved wanted to keep one foot rooted in the past to pay tribute to all of the great bands that had influenced LAVALLE, but at the same timethey didn't want an album that sonically sounded like it was produced in 1987. Ty exceeded all expectations as is clearly evident by the sound of the album.

While all this was happening, John Kivel was busy designing the album artwork concept and layout with renowned German graphic artist Thomas Ewerhard. The resulting album art is stunning and has been very well received.

Making this album was a true labor of love. We made this album as fans of this style of music and for fans of this style of music. Crank it up!!

Brits consider Margaret Thatcher to be the most influential woman of the past 200 years, a new poll has revealed.

To mark its 200-year anniversary, Scottish Widows has joined forces with historian and author Suzannah Lipscomb to identify the women viewed by the British public as those who have shaped society throughout the past two centuries.

Storming the State

Volunteers Recruited and Trained to Help Measure Precipitation

Nolan Doesken uses a frosty pay phone near a general store in Lake County, Colorado, to call in about his work with the Colorado Climate Center. He’s on the road storming the state for volunteers for the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network (CoCoRaHS), a group of lay people who report on precipitation from locations around the state. Doesken, a senior research associate, and his colleague Roger Pielke, professor and state climatologist, piece together information gathered from low-tech projects like CoCoRaHS and high-tech automated weather stations to create a detailed picture of Colorado’s complex weather patterns.

The CoCoRaHS project represents the largest network of weather observations in the state. More than 2,000 volunteers have been recruited and trained toIn aircraft and spacecraft, explosive decompressions can occur when flying at altitudes where the air pressure is distinctly lower than close to the ground. Since it is necessary to create air pressure ratios inside aircraft and spacecraft, such as exist close to the ground, an excess pressure relative to the environment builds up in the body of the craft. Inside such vehicles, it is also necessary to provide a pressure compensation system for chambers that are separated by partition walls, such as between passenger areas and baggage compartments. Without a pressure compensation system, explosive decompression would threaten to destroy the partition wall and the control systems that are normally installed therein. The load supporting structures in the aircraft and spacecraft would also be endangered by such uncontrolled decompression.

A natural team

Natural team players, left-handed Cameron and his right-handed brother Tyler learned to work diligently together from a young age. During their school days the siblings were model students obsessed with Latin, and today they are often jokingly called the Winklevii. And that's not all, they became accomplished musicians – Cameron studied classical piano for 12 years – and are decent coders to boot. In fact, they taught themselves HTML at the age of 13 and started a web development company to boost their allowance.

Sporting prowess

On top of their intellectual and entrepreneurial talents, thetwins excelled at sport, particularly rowing, which they took up at the age of 15. The siblings formed their high school's first crew and were selected for the United States Junior National Rowing Team just three years after picking up the oars.

The archetypal Ivy Leaguers, Cameron and Tyler were accepted to Harvard in 2000. There the economics majors secured membership to the college's most elite clubs, rowed for the institution and partied with the coolest people, which gave them a reputation for being preppy, privileged jocks.

HarvardConnection idea

Looking for a way to connect with their many friends on campus, and perhaps to develop a business idea too, the enviably popular seniors got together with classmate Divya Narendra (pictured) in December 2002 and came up with


HarvardConnection, an online social network aimed exclusively at students from the university. Another classmate Sanjay Mavinkurve joined in 2003 to build the site but left the project not long after.

Zuckerberg's FaceMash

Fellow Harvard undergraduate and programming whiz Victor Gao stepped in during the summer of 2003. Meanwhile, a nerdy sophomore called Mark Zuckerberg (pictured) was working from his dorm room on FaceMash, a “hot or not?”-style website that enabled students to rate the attractiveness of their female peers.

FaceMash launches

To get the site up and running, Zuckerberg hacked the college servers and accessed pictures of female students without their permission. FaceMash launched in July 2003 and proved to be a big hit, crashing initially from the volume of traffic. But the site soon caught the attention ofignoring emails and phone calls. Yet at an emergency meeting called by the brothers and Narendra just before Christmas 2003, Zuckerberg assured the anxious trio he would complete the site as soon as he could. In reality, the second-year student was developing his own answer to HarvardConnection, which he named thefacebook.com after the print face books distributed on campus each semester.

Shady behaviour?

In fact, Zuckerberg registered thefacebook.com as a domain name in 11 January 2004, and emailed financial backer Eduardo Saverin (pictured) the following day to let him know the site was almost ready to go live, all the time telling the Winklevoss brothers and Narendra that he was working on HarvardConnection.

Facebook launches

The ruse carried on until 4 February 2004 when seemingly out of the blue Zuckerberg


launched thefacebook.com, an online social network aimed exclusively at Harvard students. Needless to say, the Winklevoss twins and Narendra were furious. Feeling they had been well and truly duped, the trio issued a cease and desist order (which Zuckerberg ignored) and complained to the Harvard Administrative Board.

ConnectU launches

The board was powerless to act in the matter, so after mulling over their options, the Winklevoss brothers decided to take legal action. HarvardConnection finally launched on 21 May 2004 as ConnectU but its popularity was eclipsed from the get-go by thefacebook.com, further infuriating the siblings and their partner Narendra. It later emerged that Zuckerberg allegedly hacked into ConnectU over the summer of 2004 and created fake profiles, and messed with privacy settings.

Lawsuit filed

A lawsuit accusing Zuckerberg and other students who had helped to create thefacebook.com of copyright infringement, fraud and misappropriation of trade secrets was filed on 2 September 2004 by the Winklevoss brothers and Narendra. Convinced their rival had deliberately slowed the project and pilfered the source code, design and business plan, they were seeking the shutdown of thefacebook.com, as well as unspecified damages and a transfer of assets.

Lengthy litigation

Facebook countersued over a feature called SocialButterfly, which allowed ConnectU users to import data from thefacebook.com, and so began a protracted, years-long legal battle. The parties fought it out in the courts until February 2008 when a settlement of $65 million (£52m) was awarded to ConnectU, which was closed down as part of

The Winklevii's gamble paid off as the hype reached fever pitch and investors scrambled to put their money in Bitcoin. The price of the cryptocurrency skyrocketed from April 2017, peaking on 17 December 2017 at a staggering $19,783.06 (£16k). The twins had hit the jackpot.

In fact, the Winklevoss brothers had become the world's first cryptocurrency billionaires. The price fell throughout 2018 but is on the up again, having trebled since the start of February. At the time of writing, each bitcoin is worth $11,266.16 (£9k).

Last laugh

The brothers have certainly had the last laugh, especially as their cryptocurrency exchange Gemini is now advising Facebook. The social mediaOn a small unassuming Russian farm in what is now known as Smolensk Oblast on 9 March 1934, Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin was born to his parents Alexey Gagarin and Anna Gagarina. Although they lived comfortably, they suffered under Nazi occupation during World War Two and, following the war in 1946, they moved to the nearby town of Gzhatsk (renamed ‘Gagarin’ in 1968).

Gagarin (the man, not the town) had an interest in space, the planets and flying from an early age. After studying at the Saratov Techincal College, and learning to fly with the local “aero club”, Gagarin enrolled at the Orenburg Pilot School in 1955. Here he met Valentina Goryacheva, whom he married in 1957, and later that same year he became a lieutenant in the Soviet Air


Force.

When he joined the Soviet space programme in 1960 he was immediately popular with both fellow pilots and the hierarchy. In the run-up to the first manned Soviet spaceflight, which was in direct competition with the Americans to get the first human into space, Gagarin’s focused and effervescent demeanour earned him the pilot’s position on the first flight. Of course his humble beginnings didn’t hurt his chances, as well as the fact that he was just 1.57 metres (5 feet and 2 inches) tall, which would enable him to fit comfortably into the cramped Vostok spacecraft.

At 9:06am on 12 April 1961 Vostok 1 lifted off with Gagarin on board, and nine minutes later he became the first human to travel into space and enter orbit around the Earth.He was so relaxed during the launch that he was even able to be jovial with ground control. When asked how he was doing he responded: “I feel fine. How about you?”

The orbit lasted 108 minutes before Gagarin returned to Earth, ejecting from the capsule seven kilometres (4.35 miles) above the ground and parachuting to Earth. Upon landing he reportedly came across a startled 6-year-old girl and her grandmother on a farm and said: “Don’t be afraid, I am a Soviet citizen like you, who has descended from space and I must find a telephone to call Moscow!”

The flight made him a global celebrity and he made numerous visits to countries across the world including Germany, Japan and England over the next few years. He was the recipient


of many honours and awards including the prestigious Hero of the Soviet Union and the Order of Lenin. He revelled in the fame but was restricted from undertaking any more spaceflights, as the Soviets did not want to lose their famous cosmonaut. It was with great sadness, therefore, that Gagarin died almost 45 years ago on 27 March 1968 during a routine aircraft training flight at the age of just 34.

Gagarin’s legacy as the man who turned humanity into a space-faring species is remembered around the world through a number of tributes and events. Such was his stature that modern male cosmonauts even complete a bizarre ritual before launching: they ‘take a leak’ on the back tire of the bus taking them to the launchpad, just as Gagarinother than that bullet, was to wonder how the hell Andy Dufresne ever got the best of him."

This beautiful old church of classic Spanish architectural design is marked as being St. Andrews Episcopalian Church in the Belle Harbor section of the Rockaway Beach peninsula.

Information is lacking on this house of worship, but we do know that it was a mission of the Cathedral at Garden City, Long Island, established in 1906, and built on five lots of land donated by the West Rockaway Land Company.

The construction cost was only $8,000.

The church seating capacity was about 150 worshippers.

The moment reviews started coming in, I knew the end was near for Junction Point. It was surprising to me that they kept them open in the first place, considering their policy of licensing and closing down anyone who wasn't working on social games. A game like Epic Mickey lives and dies on word of mouth, and once the scores started coming in, sales did it in. I knew right then and there that Disney - a company that was essentially looking for any excuse to close down a AAA studio - was going to kill it.

She determined that the purchase of the lot and the construction costs of 13 Woodbriar were fraudulent conveyances from Inmon to Dillon. The chancellor found that all proceeds from the sale of 13 Woodbriar were placed in an account in the name of Dillon. The chancellor found that Inmon purchased 7500 Toltec and had it titled in Dillon's name. She found that funds used to construct Toltec *804 came from the account in Dillon's name that mainly contained the deposit from the sale of 13 Woodbriar. The chancellor concluded that Inmon was the true and equitable owner of 7500 Toltec. TheMinicoy island in Lakshadweep.

All the missing fishermen from Tharuvaikulam have returned safely. I would like to thank the @HMOIndia , the coast guard who helped the missing boat of fishermen reach Minika island safley and the district collector of tuticorin who was continuously following up. — Kanimozhi (கனிமொழி) (@KanimozhiDMK) November 1, 2019

Meanwhile, the Kanyakumari Collector Prashant M Wadnere told TNM, that the five boats missing from his district are yet to be traced. According to the district administration, over five boats and 60-65 fishermen have not returned home. These boats left coastal villages between October 14 and October 16.

The Collector had told TNM on Friday that the district administration was in touch with the Fisheries department and they were in turn co-ordinating with the Indian Navy and Coast


Guard. He said that even Oman Coast Guard had been alerted. The Coast Guard meanwhile has deployed two vessels to find the missing fishermen.

When TNM contacted the Coast guard they maintained that nine boats were yet to come back to shore, of which they have communicated with six and told them to return. Three boats continue to remain incommunicable.

"We had broadcasted warnings about the Kiyar cyclone but we are not sure if it reached them," said the Collector.

Families of the missing fishermen however alleged that the warnings came too late.

35-year-old Jency whose husband Thiyagu left to the sea on October 14, says the first warning regarding the cyclone only came on October 23.

All three of the cubs were scared, malnourished and infected with parasites when the Georgia Department of Natural Resources brought them to Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary, a 250-acre nonprofit animal rescue in Locust Grove, Georgia.

Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary When the trio was discovered in 2001, Leo had an open and infected wound on his nose.

The cubs' living conditions had left them so damaged, the rescuers decided not to release them back into the wild and to keep them at the sanctuary instead, according to The Dodo.

Their friendship was so strong, the sanctuary even chose to keep all three in the same


habitat.

Baloo, Leo and Shere Khan have been inseparable ever since.

"Even though they live in a three-acre enclosure, they're usually within 100 feet of each other," Hedgecoth told Inside Edition. "That's proof that they're not just coexisting or cohabiting, they actually do enjoy each other's company."

For sanctuary staffers, the hardest part of watching over different species in the same enclosure is making sure that all their needs are met simultaneously, Hedgecoth told HuffPost. That includes their nutritional, medical and behavioral requirements.

Baloo, she explained, is the dominant, confident and mostrelaxed one in the group. Leo can sometimes be distant, but is always aware of his surroundings. Shere Khan is curious and always wants to play.

Still, these three predators "live together, sleep together and even eat together as a family," Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary explains on its Facebook page.

They're also often photographed cuddling together, especially since Shere Khan is so affectionate, according to the sanctuary.

Child abuse is still a taboo topic, even in Germany's open society. In the face of tens of thousands of cases, however, more efforts to raise awareness may be necessary. But, are existing programs being neglected?

On the subject of child abuse, many parents actually think of themselves as enlightened. They are able to openly discuss abuse cases, such as those at the Odenwald School in the state of Hesse, or within the Catholic Church. But, what if your daughter suddnely claims that her teacher molested her?

Most children know their abuser

Children have to repeat themselves to adults up to six times until they are believed, says Ulrike Mund, Managing Director of Eigensinn, a counseling association. Her colleagues and those at other counseling centers that work to combat child abusehave made the same observations. "This is the crux of the taboo, that what should not be, cannot be. If children then describe situations that are also difficult for adults to understand, they do not believe the children," she said.

Perpetrators usually manipulate their victims and exert massive pressure on them to keep their act a secret. "That's why awareness work is essential," Mund said - for both children and adults. She encourages parents, therefore, to educate their children in a way that strengthens their personality.

New government campaigns

A poster for the new campaign: "No room for abuse".

The German Ministry for Family Affairs takes a similar view, and has just started a prevention and awareness initiative aimed primarily at children themselves. According to Family Minister Kristina Schröder (CDU), the core


School was the location of abuse cases in the 1990s

There is an urgent need for action, Honkanen-Schoberth said: "Rough estimates suggest there are more than 100,000 victims of sexual abuse - 12,000 to 14,000 reported criminal cases occur each year in Germany, but the true figure is much higher." All age groups and both sexes are affected, but most sexual violence is directed against girls, she said. The perpetrators are by and large family members, or from the more immediate social circle, and belong to many different social backgrounds.

Although the problem is not new, it only gained more attention in Germany in the 1980s. In the late 1990s, the first incidents at the Odenwald School in Hesse became known; from 2010, the scandals in the Catholic Church drew

The last time President Obama weighed in on net neutrality, it was to offer a vague, tepid response — claiming to support the idea without really defining how he understood it. It was a big contrast from what he'd previously said on the campaign trail in 2008.

On Tuesday, however, Obama offered a much more forceful defense of net neutrality, more clearly describing what activities he viewed as antithetical to the open Internet. Addressing reporters at a summit for African leaders in Washington, Obama said making the Internet more accessible to some at the expense of others was against his administration's policy:

One of the issues around net neutrality is whether you are creating different

Thailand's new king led a royal merit-making ceremony for his late father's relics on Saturday, the fourth day of an elaborate five-day funeral that caps a year of mourning.

Buddhist monks from Thailand and abroad chanted prayers as King Maha Vajiralongkorn lit candles during the ceremony at the throne hall at Bangkok's Grand Palace.

On Thursday, a ceremonial urn representing King Bhumibol Adulyadej's remains was transferred from the throne hall to an ornate crematorium in somber processions involving thousands of troops, a golden palanquin, a gilded chariot and a royal gun carriage.

Just before midnight Thursday, smoke rose from the crematorium, which was built across from the palace in the year since Bhumibol died at age 88, signaling his cremation had taken placefollowing a day of spectacular funeral processions broadcast worldwide.

On Sunday, the final day of the funeral, Bhumibol's cremated remains are set to be enshrined in spiritually significant locations.

Bhumibol's death on Oct. 13, 2016, after a reign of seven decades, sparked a national outpouring of grief for a monarch who was regarded by many Thais as a father figure. Yet it also ushered in a sense of uncertainty for Thais who had grown used to Bhumibol serving as a unifying presence in a country regularly beset by political upheaval.


the ruler and the ruled. Legitimated rule results in what Weber called the monopoly over the use of coercive violence in a given territory.  In the modern world, such authority is typically delegated to police and the court system.

Weber divided legitimate authority into three types:

The first type discussed by Weber is legal-rational authority. It is that form of authority which depends for its legitimacy on formal rules and established laws of the state, which are usually written down and are often very complex. The power of the rational-legal authority is mentioned in the constitution. Modern societies depend on legal-rational authority. Government officials are the best example of this form of authority, which is prevalent all over the world.
The second type of authority, traditional authority, derives from long-establishedever smaller amounts until decline sets in.

Thus when this study says the world reached peak corn in 1985, peak rice in 1988, peak milk and peak wheat in 2004, peak chicken in 2006 and peak soy in 2009, it means that since those years the production of the commodity has been growing more slowly, and is not keeping up with the demand curve of an ever-increasing population. Of the 21 commodities they studied, 16 reached peak production between 1988 and 2008, a breathtakingly short period of time. It suggests, rather than spot shortages and isolated crises, that the world’s food-production system is being overwhelmed.

There is ever increasing evidence that this is so. Yet we continue to see, everywhere, the feckless sentence: world population is expected to reach nine
