Seattle Women's Commission's Statement on Paid Parental Leave"On November 19, 2015, the Seattle Women's Commission sent this powerful statement to Seattle City Councilmembers in support of my amendment to provide 12 weeks paid parental leave for City workers, and in solidarity with the struggle to win paid parental leave for all Seattleites."

One Vote Shy of Winning 12 Weeks Paid Parental Leave for City Workers"If our movement succeeds in showing how important 12 weeks paid parental leave is for women, people of color, and all working people in Seattle, then we can win. Twelve weeks paid parental leave for City of Seattle employees would be a crucial first step towards winning 12 weeks paid parental leave in Seattle as a whole, in Washington State, and across the country."

12Weeks Paid Parental Leave for City Employees"Guaranteed paid parental leave is both a workers' rights and a women's rights issue. All workers, regardless of their gender identity or family configuration, should be guaranteed this right."

Solidarity with Planned Parenthood"On October 19, 2015, the Seattle City Council passed a resolution in solidarity with the work of Planned Parenthood. Full reproductive rights - free accessible birth control and abortion services - are essential for genuine gender equality. We need to stand by organizations like Planned Parenthood, rebuild the independent women's movement, and expand the fight for single payer healthcare for people of all genders, including the trans community."

I have been teaching music, performing music and enjoying music since I was a tiny three-year old. My first piano lessons were at age seven. I have since taught the students of former students! How fun is that?

Music has blessed my life in countless ways and given me opportunities I'd never dreamed of. Teaching at the Young Artists Conservatory of Music; Singing in Carnegie Hall, Performing across Europe and teaching the best students for over 25 years has been a delight.

I believe strongly that those who spend their time and resources for musical education are some of the brightest and most intelligent people around. Each of my students have their own individual goals and reasons for taking music lessons, whichEducation.

My current level is ABD or PhD candidate for the terminal degree in Education. I am member of the Association for Language Learning, located in Leicester, UK. My most popular subjects are as follows:

Carefully following Burkkowsky's (1969) multi-media method, I have taught this subject for over five years for public and private causes, such as library, individuals, and language schools. My emphasis for pronunciation is a scientific, comprehensive overview and treatment of the various sounds, rhythms, inflections, and patterns the spoken language integrates. I encourage practicing and mastering both the sounds themselves, as well as how the sounds are connected and contextualized. I use contemporary sound recording and .wav editing software to involve audio feedback and self-monitoring.

I have grown up bilingual English and German, attending an international school

She is also able to teach sign language, she studied ASL at Northern Virginia Comm. College. She looks forward to helping new students achieve their goals and helping them do so in

the way they learn best. Every lesson will include warm ups and vocal exercises, also we will work on different songsblock who want to eat free lunches.

Lame duck US president Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Keery meanwhile condemned Israel building settlements in the West Bank even as the terrorist Palestinian Liberation Organization rejected Kerry’s two state solution as it has all other such proposals in the past and continues to refuse to recognize Israel’s existence as a Jewish nation-state despite leftists condemning Israel, boycotting products sold by or in Israel or produced with support from Israeli companies, and attacking Jewish organizations on college campuses with full support from leftist students, faculty and administration. Leftists apparently chose Jews and Israelis as a scapegoat for the violent Muslim fanaticism they have allowed to fester in their own nations.

Thomas wakes up in an elevator, remembering nothing but his own name. He emerges into a world of about 60 teen boys who have learned to survive in a completely enclosed environment, subsisting on their own agriculture and supplies. A new boy arrives every 30 days.

The incident occurred just before 8 a.m. on the 2900 block of Wilkinson Ave. SE, and the dog was later put down.

The owner of the approximately 1-year-old dog, Squid, however, disputes that the dog posed any danger.

"He's never been aggressive to anyone," said Seth Revelle, a 26-year-old senior airman with the 45th Space Wing at Patrick Air Force Base.

No one else witnessed the shooting, and the homeowner who shot Squid could not immediately be reached for comment.

Revelle said he received a warning from animal control officers because the tan-and-white dog weighing 50 to 60 pounds had gotten loose.

He adopted Squid in March from the


South Animal Care and Adoption Center in Melbourne, operated by the Brevard County Sheriff's Office. The dog lived in a home with children ages 5 and 7.

After being shot in the left side, the dog returned to its home some 150 feet away on Creech Ave. SE, where Revelle said his girlfriend found him wounded and bleeding. Squid had to be put down.

The Sheriff's Office's Animal Services unit is investigating the shooting. No information was available from the unit Tuesday afternoon.

With days to go until the final result of the August election, Kai Eide, the head of the UN mission in Kabul, admitted there had been "significant fraud". He said that the claims made by Peter Galbraith, the American diplomat sacked earlier this month, had "affected the entire election process".

The report of a fraud investigation is due in the coming days, which will decide the final outcome of the voting that took place more than seven weeks ago.

A western diplomat said it was "on a knife edge" whether enough fraudulent votes would be removed


from the preliminary result to trigger a potentially difficult second round.

Public and international faith in the election plunged to at an all time low after the fraud allegations and the UN attempted to bolster credibility in the process today by surrounding Eide with leading ambassadors at the stage-managed press event.

Although the US, British, French and German ambassadors joined Eide for his attempt to set the record straight, none of them spoke and UN officials prevented journalists from asking them questions.

Eide said their presence was a "sign of international support" for his approach. Galbraith had claimed that his former boss failed to stop polling stations from opening in areas that were too dangerous for monitors to visit.

Eide said that he had been backed in his decision keep as manyby the UN it must have the level of solidity that can make it authoritative," he said, adding that it would have been a "conflict of interest" for the UN to act as an observer in an election it helped to run.

Western diplomats are anxious to shore up support for the poll as the Election Complaints Commission, a watchdog led by non-Afghan staff, prepares to unveil the results of an investigation it ordered into electoral fraud. Around 10% of the 3,498 ballot boxes regarded as suspicious have been inspected by election staff looking for signs of irregularities.


                     OPINION

                             I. FACTUAL BACKGROUND

        This case arose from an automobile accident involving two vehicles. On August 28,
2003, the accident occurred on Gallatin Road near the Center Point Road intersection in
Hendersonville, Tennessee. At the time of the accident, there was heavy traffic on Gallatin
Road, and Bobby G. Hopkins proceeded to exit the parking lot of the Dodge Store by making
a left turn into the center turning lane. Mr. Hopkins only proceeded with theadditionally, the deposition of Dr. Walter
Wheelhouse, Mr. Walls’s treating physician, was read into evidence. Corporal Barnes
related the applicable laws regarding proper use of a motor vehicle and observed that,
pursuant to the ordinances of the City of Hendersonville (“the City”), it is unlawful for a
driver to cut through a business’s parking lot to arrive at Center Point Road. He also testified
that under state law, it is illegal for a driver to enter the center turning lane and drive for
approximately half a mile to arrive at the intersection at Center Point Road.

        After hearing the evidence, the jury returned a unanimous verdict, finding both Mr.
Walls and Mr. Hopkins fifty percent at fault for the accident. Mr. Walls then filed a motion
for a new


  -3-
       In taking the strongest legitimate view of all the evidence in the record in favor of the
verdict, we conclude that there is material evidence to support the jury’s equal allocation of
fault between Mr. Walls and Mr. Hopkins.

       Mr. Walls testified that the accident occurred on Gallatin Road in the area of the Trail
West store, the Mapco gas station, and the Dodge Store. Mr. Walls was traveling south on
Gallatin Road towards the Rivergate Mall area. The accident occurred approximately 400
feet away from the intersection of Center Point Road and Gallatin Road. In describing the
accident, Mr. Walls testified:

       And as I was traveling down Gallatin Road, I saw thatvague in describing how long he was in the center turning lane and
his vehicle’s distance from the intersection of Center Point Road and Gallatin Road. On
cross examination, Mr. Walls admitted that he didn’t know the speed in which he traveled
and he also conceded that he was not sure how far his vehicle was from the intersection.

                                            -5-
      In its role as the fact finder, the jury evaluates the credibility and veracity of a
witness’s testimony. As this court has previously observed,


Chinese prisoner uses app to film women naked and blackmail them

Wife of prison guard, an alleged victim, had sex with man in prison

A vising room in a Chinese jail. A prisoner in Heilongjiang province allegedly forced women to meet him in jail after blackmailing them with naked pictures(Getty)

A Chinese prisoner used an app to secretly record three women naked, including the wife of a prison guard, then blackmailed two of them for 110,000 yuan ($17,645).

The man, identified by local media Wang Dong, 28, contacted the women on WeChat using a smartphone given to him by a prison guard, reports theSouth China Morning Post.

After being jailed for six years for kidnapping in Nehe prison, Heilongjiang Province, in 2012, the man allegedly had relationships with seven women while the jail,including a woman who worked in the jail and the wife of a prison officer, reported the paper, citing China's New Culture News.

The wife of the prison officer was allegedly blackmailed into visiting the man in jail and having sex with him.

It was after her husband complained to prison authorities that the scandal was exposed.

Three women had visited him jail after being blackmailed, said a report by prison authorities.

However, the report claims that two of the women did not have sex with him, as they met him in a meeting room and dining room, during the day, while monitoring devices were in use and prison guards were present.

The prison report confirms that some prison guards had collaborated with the man, helping him write messages to the women.

Wang had


previously been jailed in 2005 for robbery, then for fraud in 2009, reports asiaone.com.

While in prison, he gambled and drank, and even invited fellow prisoners to a dinner, spending thousands of yuan on kebabs.

It is one of a number of scandals to hit prisons in Heilongjiang province in recent years, with three prisoners murdering a prison guard and escaping a detention centre in Yanshou county in September 2014.takes” to support the eurozone. His implied promise to inject liquidity into the economy, on the lines of quantitative easing (QE) in the US, Japan and Britain, reassured financial markets that he would step in to avert a new downturn. However, the German government under Angela Merkel still resisted QE, the purchase by the ECB of eurozone government bonds. Draghi prevaricated, even though the eurozone economy stagnated during 2014 (0.8% growth).

Then, at the beginning of this year, Draghi announced a massive programme of QE to begin in March. Why the change? One factor was the ruling of an important EU court that it would be legal for the ECB to buy government bonds in the secondary market (ie not directly from those governments). Moreover, at the turn of


is the severing of the peg between the Swiss franc (CHF) and the euro. The Swiss authorities do not want the CHF pulled down by the declining euro, which would seriously undermine their banking business. The value of the euro has plummeted because of the introduction of QE, which inevitably undermines the exchange value of the euro. One immediate consequence: Poles who purchased their homes with CHF loans from Swiss banks now face ruinous repayments as the value of the CHF rises against the euro. The Danish authorities may also be forced to break the peg between the krone and the euro.

The logic of the current situation, regardless of the immediate intentions of political leaders on both sides, is that it could lead to a breakup. Greece’s debtsits position in the eurozone. Participation by the weaker economies, like Greece, kept the value of the euro down on foreign exchanges. This gave Germany a price advantage in export markets. Without the eurozone, a German national currency would have been much stronger, making it more difficult for Germany to export its manufactures to the rest of the world. Year after year, Germany ran a current account surplus (boosted by exports at the expense of domestic demand). This made it difficult for weaker economies like Greece to export goods to the German market, while Germany enjoyed plenty of opportunities to export its goods to southern European markets.

Germany has been a key force in the development of the eurozone. But Merkel sees the eurozone as a fiscal police power,


which limits budget deficits and national debt. The German government has blocked the ECB from acting as a bank of last resort for eurozone governments. Germany has only acquiesced to the ECB’s QE programme under threat of a generalised eurozone slump. In the last few years, Merkel and her allies have pushed for a more coordinated, institutionalised leadership for the eurozone – but only to strengthen its policing role. The result of the drastic restrictions on public spending has been a period of stagnation, with German capitalism itself falling into recession during 2014. The differences in GDP growth and living standards between the richer and poorer members of the eurozone have sharply increased in recent years.

Merkel and her cohorts have consistently rejected the idea of a fiscal unionon the lines of federal states such as Canada, the United States, etc. In federal states, there is a certain redistribution of revenues, partially mitigating regional differences and cushioning the weaker states during recession. Germany has always denounced such proposals as a ‘transfer union’, involving hand-outs from ‘frugal’ Germany to ‘profligate’ countries in the south.

Provisional proposals

Following tense negotiations, the leaders of the Syriza government came to a provisional agreement (20 February) with the ‘institutions’, formerly known as the troika. This will release another tranche of loans that will avert a default at the end of February, when some current loans expire.

Alexis Tsipras, Syriza leader and prime minister, and Yanis Varoufakis, finance minister, claimed they had achieved “an important negotiating victory”. In reality, the Syriza leaders have performed a


Federation! Assemble!

As controversial as games can come, Federation Force was certainly not the game anyone expected to be unveiled at E3 last year. The backlash in the community was and still is quite apparent, as numerous petitions to cancel the game gathered thousands of signatures. Nintendo remained steadfast, entreating fans to give the game a chance; and here we are.

Federation Force takes a different approach to the Metroid Prime formula. For those who don't know, the Metroid Prime trilogy focused on exploration, with a generally dark and encroaching atmosphere. Federation Force takes a different approach; it follows members of a squad of space heroes known as the Federation Force, whose duty is to keep the universe in check by disposing of planetary threats. Up to four players goon specialized missions, usually about ten minutes long, with a focus on puzzles leading up to a large fight at the end.

I did have major problems with the matchmaking. It was rare that four players actually joined the match, which made me feel like I was losing part of the experience by not having all four players available. Too often, players would drop out of matches or simply stop moving, which puts other players at a disadvantage since the missions tailor to the number of players at the start. Connection errors were abundant. I imagine local multiplayer would be a better experience, but obviously I didn't have 3 other people with a copy of the game to play with. Playing solo is no fun at all, as it


complaint is the overall lack of variety in the missions. As I said before, they all follow a specific pattern, with the exceptions standing out from the rule. After each mission, continuing to play seems like a less and less attractive option. The combat is great, as I already described, but the puzzles are halfhearted attempts at injecting some fake variety into the formula which falls flat on its face. Half the time you'll be matched with players who already completed the mission and are just collecting ranks, which completely ruins the puzzle. The other half of players are people who can't tell left from right and seem to want to mess up everything you do whether or not it involves them.

This arrangement provides the advantage of a steering actuator which extends around the complete circumference of the handle and rotates about the longitudinal axis of the handle.

Over a bottle of sake, Jiraiya tells Tsunade that Pain lives in Amegakure, an isolated hidden village wedged between the Lands of Earth, Wind and Fire, a place often used as a battleground by the three countries, thus creating numerous refugees. Jiraiya tells Tsunade that due to the isolated nature of the village, many nations do not know that a civil war transpired within Ame and that one half of the village is run by Pain himself. Tsunade worries over Jiraiya going alone, as she deems that Pain must be strong in order to be the leader of formidably powerful individuals that are members of the Akatsuki; Jiraiya,of her loved ones inside of her ample bosom, causing Tsunade to blush.

In the woods, Kiba tells the group that Sasuke's scent has dispersed, causing Naruto to use his Multiple Shadow Clone Technique in an attempt to spread out and find Sasuke. He ends up finding Itachi, who tells Naruto that he merely wishes to talk. When Naruto refuses to listen and attempts to attack him, Itachi uses his Demonic Illusion: Mirage Crow to place him within a genjutsu. As the genjutsu fades, Itachi leaves; the rest of the team find Naruto shortly after, who hides his encounter from them.

Meanwhile, Sasuke manages to reach one of the Akatsuki hideouts that Jūgo had found, telling Hebi to stay outside while he checks it out. Back in Konoha, Jiraiya is


his father Minato due to their looks, but that his personality is more akin to his mother Kushina Uzumaki, a kunoichi from Uzushiogakure. Jiraiya reveals that while he never had children, he thinks of Minato as a son he could be proud of, and Naruto as his grandson by extension.

Jiraiya decides the time for his departure has arrived, and Tsunade tearfully tells him to return back to her safely, as she does not wish to lose him. Jiraiya asks whether she would cry for him and seems as if he was about to confess love for her, only to laugh it off as Tsunade blushes. Due to her bad luck at winning, he tells her to gamble everything on his death so that her bad luck may keephim safe. As he sets off, he reminds her to be wary of Root, which she acknowledges. Jiraiya then leaves the village as Tsunade watches, tears streaming down her face.

Trivia

Tsunade tells Jiraiya that out of everyone in the village, she views Kakashi and Naruto as her future successors. Kakashi eventually does become the Sixth Hokage while Naruto succeeds the two as the Seventh.

Naruto's parents are revealed to be Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, the former being Konoha's Fourth Hokage.

A Tribute to Dr Robert J. White.
Robert J. White is probably best known as the first neurosurgeon to perform successful "cephalic exchange" on monkeys in 1971. However, he was also a pioneer in the field of neurosurgery and contributed tremendously to the field of neuroanesthesia and bioethics. White received medical training at the University of Minnesota, Harvard University, Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, and Mayo Clinic before becoming the first Chief of Neurosurgery at Metrohealth Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio. He made significant strides in the field of spinal cord cooling and hypothermia. White and his team was also the first to successfully isolate the monkey brain with retention of biological activity. In 2004 and 2006, White and colleagues were nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine, withHarvey Cushing and Wilder Penfield being the only other 2 neurosurgeons ever to be nominated for the award. Aside from his career as a neurosurgeon, he was also an advisor to 2 popes and an advocate for animal research. By the end of his career, White performed over 10 000 brain operations and published over 1000 articles, which has pushed the frontiers of neurosurgical research.


Kochi: As dusk falls at Karamana, the precincts of the ancient Siva temple at this Tamil Brahmin settlement reverberate with chants from Yajur Veda. A frail figure, in spotless white robe, sits surrounded by a group of youngsters, who repeat after him twice, as per age-old custom, Vedic hymns in a sing-song tone.

For Parameswaran, this has been a voyage of teaching for the past 40 years. Hundreds of children have passed through his quaint “school” learning Vedic passages by rote.

Away from the limelight, he has nurtured interest in the Vedic tradition in at least three generations at Karamana and nearby areas like Sankar Nagar, Vinayaka Nagar, Valiyachalai and Puthenchanthai.

Last week, his students from all over the country gathered at his house to celebrate their “Anna’s” 60th birthday.

A civilengineer, Parameswaran started his career as a lecturer at TKM Engineering College, Kollam. Later he joined the Public Works Department. Even as he worked at the PWD, he dedicated himself to the cause of popularising the Vedas.

“I am following in the footsteps of my illustrious teacher, V.K. Subramania Sarma, who started these free classes at Karamana in 1969. It is just 30 to 45 minutes of class everyday but over a seven to eight year period, you acquire a good chunk of the popular passages from the Krishna Yajur Veda,” says he.

The format of the classes has remained the same since 1969, with chanting sessions, followed by light bhajans.

“Sekhar took to the study of Vedas at age 19. Apart from teaching, he himself has been learning Yajur Veda

Tracy and High Plains schools. When Mary L. Tracy School closed in 1979, he moved to Peck Place School and remained there for 18 years.

He then moved back to Mary L. Tracy when it reopened as an early childhood center. In 2003, he became its principal and has remained the school psychologist, as well.

Nuzzo said there are more pressures on children and teachers now.

"Education in general is pressuring children in earlier grades for high achievement," Nuzzo said. "Kindergarten is now like first grade 15 years ago."

He said there is more accountability now for teachers and administrators.

"Primarily because the issue of accountability has become important to politicians, and citizens spending money want to see tangible results," he explained.

Nuzzo said there have been several major events during his tenure with the school system.

In 2010, Mary L. Tracy School turned 100 years-old.

"We had a wonderful celebration for the children, alumni and community," he said. "There was a centennial dinner dance. People in their 80s came."

He said the closing of two schools in 1979 was also a major event. "That was tough on everyone. Everyone was afraid of losing their jobs," he said.

However, in recent years, Kino on Video has taken some major steps in remedying this situation. In 1984 Kino released restored analog versions of several Chaplin shorts. And since then they have offered remastered analog versions of Mutual and Essanay Studios output, complete with re-orchestrated musical scores.


simply transvestites were tempted to transition. The psychological communities perception of transsexuality began to shift as their research population went from being nearly exclusively hsts to having both hsts and agps. The notion of primary and secondary symptomology and agp symptomology was well recognized with a great deal of research but without a proper theoretical understanding of how those conditions behaved.

Ray Blanchard, after clinical research at the Clark institute, gave a research based conceptualization of the two conditions that lead to gender dysphoria and coined the terms homosexual ts and autogynephilic ts to replace primary and secondary with something both more etiologically meaningful and more politically correct. At the time the growing agp based "transgender" community was reacting against the term "secondary" so the new term "autogynephilic" wouldthink about their own disorder.

So, many of the most prominent resources, organizations, activists and web page hosts among the AGP centered community have devoted a very aggressive effort to condemning and surpressing Dr.Ray Blanchard's theory. Dr. Anne Lawerance who was previously the most prominent figure among the AGP community caused a controversy when she accepted Blanchard's position and recognized herself as an autogynephilic transsexual. Dr. Michael Bailey's book The Man Who Would be Queen, written primarily about hsts but also describing agps, ignited an even more aggressive controversy in the agp community, to the point that most large sites on transsexuality now have pages and pages of material condemning the book and Bailey. Several individuals who are the most active in organizing agp ts events who run popular

Lapeire – one of only five professional clowns in Belgium – is alleged to have visited the family home in Oudenberg, a town between Ostend and Bruges, on Sunday night, which was Mother’s Day in Belgium.

He allegedly tied up and gagged their children, aged 12, 15 and 17, and left them in an attic before killing their mother in the garage with a knife, according to Belgian news reports.

Officials at the children’s school were not aware of anything untoward on Monday morning as Lapeire reportedly had called in to say they would be late. He had also sent a text to his former partner’s employer.

On Monday afternoon, Lapeire was spotted on top of a 13-storey apartment building in Bredene, close to hisparents’ home, waving a pistol.

He broadcast himself on Facebook Live as he threw a gas canister from the roof, and starting firing into the sky.

Lapeire surrendered four hours later to police snipers, throwing down his coat, pulling his sweater over his head and placing his hands in the air.

We are also interested in whether the early intervention received in the preschool years protects these children from some of the negative outcomes associated with early hearing loss. Finally, we plan to describe the special services and mainstream classroom environments these children find themselves in and whether these services and environments influence their outcomes. To accomplish this we will follow 276 HH children and 140 normal hearing (NH) classmates through 4th grade and obtain extensive information on their spoken language development and academic achievement. Additionally, for the HH children, we will obtain measures of services provided and their classroom environments during their 3rd and 4th grades.

Shortly after landing, she dies from complications while giving birth to the first human born on the red planet – never revealing who the father is.

While searching for clues about his father, and the home planet he’s never known, Gardner begins an


On December 10, 2017, the Americans Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash, and Michael W. Young were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology for their research on the biological clock. They discovered the molecular mechanisms controlling biological rhythms. A new 'research_tv' report describes how scientists at Bielefeld are also advancing research on the biological clock. The biochemist Professor Dr. Dorothee Staiger from Bielefeld University explains what the three Nobel Prize winners have achieved and reports on the discoveries her research team has made together with collaborators.

'A Nobel Prize for the biological clock has long been overdue,' says Dorothee Staiger. What is so remarkable is that the prize has been granted to basic research - that is, to studies on fundamental concepts in nature.

Whereas the American colleagues haveAlbanian opposition lawmakers threw smoke bombs in parliament Monday to protest the election of a temporary prosecutor general by the ruling socialists.

Despite the smoke-filled chamber, the vote still took place to elect Arta Marku as the acting chief prosecutor, with the Socialist Party backing her to the tune of 69 votes. Two parliamentarians voted against him and two others abstained. The rest of the lawmakers in the 140-seat chamber boycotted the vote.

Marku's swift swearing-in ceremony after the vote was still shrouded in a cloud of smoke.

The vote went ahead despite the smoke wafting through the chamber

Outside protests

Outside the parliament, about 3,000 protesters waving EU and US flags shouted anti-government slogans and condemned Marku's appointment, which they called unconstitutional.

At one point, the crowd broke through the security line before

Lulzim Basha, the leader of the Democratic Party, however, slammed Prime Minister Edi Rama for wanting to appoint a "puppet" to follow his commands.

Basha: Government has chosen a puppet

"This is the beginning of the popular uprising," Basha said before ending the protest but without explaining how it would continue.

His party colleague Sali Berisha, who is both an ex-president and ex-prime minister, called for the "extermination of the lawmakers' mandates,it used to, but since I live in one of the most violent cities in the entire industrialized world (where we have more violent crime per capita than Iraq, and some neighborhoods make one think of Mogadishu, Somalia, without the palm trees), I think it's a bit silly to be pointing fingers at Sweden's crime problems.

I have a black friend who lived in Sweden for ten years and came back to the States a Republican. I guess he saw the Swedish socialist model as a huge turnoff.

Unlike your friend, I haven't felt the desire to live in another country. But you suspect your friend returned to the States because he was turned off by socialists. Strange, because in the last 10 years, while America has been becoming more

I stay in America because it's my home, it's where my heart is, and because I love shit like our Bill of Rights.

Instead one should compare for example January 2014 to January 2013.

Shanker said for example in December retail sales are high so retailers hire more people. He said that hiring pattern is not repeated in January because by the end of December companies start laying off workers.

He said overall in the last 10 years, the three counties have consistently done better than the state average, especially Boone County.

Boone County's annual average in 2013 was 6.9 percent. Campbell County had a 7.3 percent rate and Kenton County's was 7.2 percent. Shanker said those figures are lower than the state and national averages. He


said the counties are in a fast growing area and once the Brent Spence Bridge is renovated or a new one built, that will make a big difference.

"As the traffic situation improves there more people are going to be willing to locate from across Ohio onto the Kentucky side," Shanker said.

The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce said Northern Kentucky takes a long-term view on unemployment rates. It said the trend continues to show positive signs since the end of the Great Recession. It said the average unemployment rate for the three counties was 9.8 percent in 2010 and 6.8 percent so far this year.

"We are encouraged by the overall economic growth our region has experienced coming out of the greatest recession in a generation," the chamber said.

Kiel Canal: Busiest waterway in the world.

Being built under Emperor Wilhelm II from 1886 to 1914 the Kiel Canal has a length of some 100 km from the locks in Kiel Holtenau to the locks in Brunsbüttel, connecting the River Elbe/North Sea with the Baltic Sea. Kiel Canal has been digged out of Dithmarschen´s soil as part of the German Empire´s military buildup leading to World War One – it should enable the Imperial Navy to move

A sailor doing the Kiel Canal shortcut between the Baltic Sea and the North Sea would have to go under 9 Bridges until he will reach the end of his journey.

And speaking at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum last week, Putin announced that he would like to form a new trade bloc including Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Iran, and other former Soviet states.

"In calling the Marseille events an operation orchestrated by Putin we commit a grave error in reasoning about Russia: We grossly overestimate Russian regime efficiency and governance capacity. In the end, we help portray Putin as an omnipotent leader, and quite paradoxically, contribute to perpetuate his public image of a farsighted strongman," Halling writes.

Writing in openDemocracy, New York University professor Mark Galeotti argues that Russia is not, in fact, mobilizing for all-out war.

"Putin appears to have internalized a Manichean, zero-sum sense of his relationship with the West, and this drives so much other policy, from countersanctions to political repression. Many in the West likewise embrace -- with near-relief -- a return to the comfortingly simplistic dualism of the us-and-them mind-set of the Cold War," Galeotti writes.

About This Blog

The Power Vertical is a blog written especially foryears at the elections division, Denver has been a veritable testing ground for improving the voter experience. Early on, McReynolds was instrumental in making Denver the first municipality to adopt Ballot TRACE, a tracking system for voters who mail in their ballots. The program, which has since been adopted by other municipalities, came about in response to the many calls McReynolds’ office received from voters on Election Day about the status of their mail-in ballots. Ballot TRACE works like a package tracking service. It notifies Denver voters of when their ballot has been printed, mailed, delivered and eventually received by the elections division. The approach is working -- after it was implemented, Denver’s call volume on Election Day went down by 90 percent.

APA Issues First-ever Guidelines for Practice with Men and Boys

For the first time ever, APA is releasing guidelines to help psychologists work with men and boys.

At first blush, this may seem unnecessary. For decades, psychology
focused on men (particularly white men), to the exclusion of all others.
And men still dominate professionally and politically: As of 2018, 95.2
percent of chief operating officers at Fortune 500 companies were men.
According to a 2017 analysis by Fortune, in 16 of the top companies, 80
percent of all high-ranking executives were male. Meanwhile, the 115th
Congress, which began in 2017, was 81 percent male.

But something is amiss for men as well. Men commit 90 percent of
homicides in the United States and represent 77 percent of homicide
victims. They’re the demographic group most at risk of being victimized
bytheir patients despite social forces that can harm mental health. Many researchers who study femininity also work on masculinity: Several contributors to the guidelines for girls and women have also contributed to the new guidelines for boys and men.

“Though men benefit from patriarchy, they are also impinged upon by patriarchy,” says Ronald F. Levant, EdD, a professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Akron and co-editor of the APA volume “The Psychology of Men and Masculinities.” Levant was APA president in 2005 when the guideline-drafting process began and was instrumental in securing funding and support to get the process started. . .

International Monetary Fund begins search for new managing director

Ms Legarde, in a statement, said she had met with the Executive Board of the IMF on Tuesday and submitted her resignation

The board of the IMF later issued a statement praising Ms. Lagarde and advising the course the IMF is on to replace her

A process to find a permanent replacement for Ms. Lagarde has commenced, the IMF Executive Board said

WASHINGTON, DC - The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has intiiated a process to find a new managing director following the resignation of Christine Lagarde on Tuesday.

Ms Legarde, in a statement, said she had met with the Executive Board of the IMF on Tuesday and submitted her resignation, which will enable her to concentrate on the process of her nomination to becomethe head of the European Central Bank (ECB).

"I have met with the Executive Board and submitted my resignation from the Fund with effect from September 12, 2019," she said. "The relinquishment of my responsibilities as Managing Director announced previously will remain in effect until then. With greater clarity now on the process for my nomination as ECB President and the time it will take, I have made this decision in the best interest of the Fund, as it will expedite the selection process for my successor."

The board of the IMF later issued a statement praising Ms. Lagarde and advising the course the IMF is on to replace her.

"Today the IMF Executive Board accepted Managing Director Christine Lagarde's resignation from the Fund with effect from September 12, 2019," the


statement said.

"We would like to express our greatest appreciation for all that Managing Director Lagarde has done for the institution. Her legacy of achievements has made a lasting imprint on the Fund. Under her guidance, the Fund successfully helped its members navigate a complex and unprecedented set of challenges, including the impact of the global financial crisis and its aftershocks."

"The Fund has excelled in serving its entire membership over the course of her tenure with cutting-edge policy advice supported by ground-breaking analytical work on a range of macro-critical issues. Her stewardship has been exceptional, and we are grateful for her innovative and visionary leadership," said the IMF Executive Board statement.

"With this decision by Managing Director Lagarde, the IMF Executive Board will initiate promptly the process of selecting theon people for making a personal aesthetic choice is "the same thing" as thinking the haters are being close-minded and shallow.

In 1999, the 4th report of the discussion group on 21st century medicine and health care proposed that it was necessary to establish in medical education a core curriculum emphasizing carefully selected basic content and to greatly expand the number of subjects that students might take electively. Following this report, a model core curriculum was made by the research and development project committee for medical educational programs in 2001. Similarly, the necessity of establishing a standardized postgraduate training curriculum and system has been discussed for many years. The Departments of Education and Technology and Welfare and Labor proposed a new curriculum named "Objectives in postgraduate clinical training" in order to ensure the


quality of the medical doctors licensed to practice medicine in postgraduate clinical training in 2002. Following this new curriculum, Nihon University School of Medicine revised and enlarged its postgraduate program. All graduates are required to enter a full rotation program including general disciplines for two years. In addition to this basic curriculum, an elective curriculum will be added, providing attractive training programs based on medical trainees' needs. The training program in Laboratory Medicine is administered in the 2nd year as an elective program.Perfume-collecting male euglossine bees as pollinators of a basal angiosperm: the case of Unonopsis stipitata (Annonaceae).
Pollination of Unonopsis stipitata (Annonaceae) by males of two perfume-collecting bees, Euglossa imperialis and Eulaema bombiformis (Euglossini) is described. This is the first detailed account of this pollination mode in a member of a basal angiosperm family. Pollinator behaviour, identification of the odour bouquet and electrophysiological reaction of one of the two pollinators to the odour bouquet were determined. The collected odour is produced by 'osmophores' located adaxially on the petals. Starch and polysaccharides accumulated in petals are metabolized during odour emission. Mainly monoterpenes were detected in the scent samples, among them trans-carvone oxide. This molecule is thought by several authors to be the key attractant for male Eulaema bees and may be
