Does the very thought of having to meditate make you go all squirrelly? Do you silently freak out and wish to hell you didn't have to sit in "peace" and, God forbid, "relax"? How many excuses do you come up with to NOT have to meditate? Do you know how to meditate? Maybe you don't like to do it because you don't think you know how to.
I used to be like that. Me? Meditate? Not a chance. I don't have time for that. It takes waaaaaaaay too long and, besides, who has time to sit for 30 minutes and do nothing but breathe? Do nothing?? Just breathe?? Good grief. Nope. Not this girl. I'm too busy. I'll listen to the Spa channel instead. Ya, that should work.
But wait, I didn't even really know how to meditate.
Um. What? The Spa Channel, Iva, seriously?
Uh uh.That ain't gonna work. It sounds nice and soothing and it's all Zen like stuff but it does nothing to relax me. I mean, when I'm writing, it's great, right? It's soft and not very distracting so I happen to love it for that. But to think I can use this medium instead of actually meditating, not so.
And then I met this lovely girl. She is an Intuitive Healer, amongst other super cool things, and she discussed meditation with me and I expressed my thoughts on it. Her first reaction? She laughed at me. Then came the "Iva Iva Iva, listen to me…." Oh dear, I was in for it.
Andrea took the time to show me how to meditate in mini sessions. Mini? I can Zen out in under 5 minutes?? Yesss!! I'm all over that. It was easy and, yes, it actually is possible to peace out in 3 minutes. I've taken what she showed me two years ago and have perfected it to a way that works great for me. Allow me to share. But first….
We live in a pretty fast paced, crazy and stressful world. Go go go, faster, hurry, come on move already, get outta my way, omg as if my boss just did that……….Yup. it gets pretty frantic at times. So who has time to Zen out? We ALL do with this super duper easy technique. Check it out.
These 5 simple ways will show you how to meditate fast and effectively.
Go find a quiet place and that may very well be the basement storage room, the attic, or even the bathroom. I don't care where it is but find one and don't tell me you don't have one. Go sit in your car, in the garage or parking lot if you have to. Behind your house, your apartment building, the laundry room or even the shed. Oh, the possibilities are endless.
No distractions, no cell phone, no iPod, iPad or iCantdothis. Nothing, nudda, zip. Just you and the quiet. This one was super hard for me.
Sit down (or if you can't that's OK too, just stand or lean against a wall) and close your eyes. Now take a big deep breath in. Make this one big!! Blow it out hard. Do two more breaths like that. Big breath in, and I mean BIG, big breath out.
Now for the next 2-3 minutes, breathe in and out gently, but this time, when you breathe in, imagine a soft pink light, like pixie fairy dust kinda light, being sprinkled into your mind, heart and soul. When you breathe out, imagine your stress at the moment as a dark grey cloud and blow that cloud away.
Feel and think peace and love. Say to yourself "I love me, I'm ok, this is done". Repeat it a few times if you have to and then carry on with your day.
Breathe in soft pink light, blow out dark grey cloud. Mmmmm, buh bye dark grey cloud. As you continue to blow out for the next few minutes, imagine that dark grey cloud getting lighter and lighter each time until it is no longer grey.
Boom. There ya have it. See how easy that was? Now you know how to meditate! Next time you're at work and someone really peeves you off, before you verbally attack them, go lock yourself in the bathroom and do this mini meditation. You will come out of there a new person and you can carry on your day in a Zen like state.
You can switch up the method to suit your taste. Maybe you don't like pink or pixie fairy dust (who doesn't??). When I breathe in, I imagine God blowing that soft dust on me but you can imagine any other spiritual figure or maybe even a cute little fairy bug.
Please try this and let me know how it works for you.

I love this. There are ALWAYS 2-3 minutes. Even if it has to be combined with a bathroom break. Thanks for this. Oh and who doesn't love pink fairy dust???
Haha right???? Thanx for your comment Bridgetannie. And yes, 2 minutes is easy to find to go hide somewhere and zen out!!
You're right, Iva. It's not as imtimidating or mysterious as people make it out to be. Very simple and straightforward. Don't stress about doing it "right." It's basically just allowing yourself to be. The more you do it, the more natural it feels. And to really reap the benefits, be consistent. Every day. It'll be the most well spent few minutes of your day. Well….that and your live videos! ?

What if I sue my mortgage company but it still does the foreclosure against me?
What if I sue my mortgage company but it still forecloses against me?
In another article, we talked about whether or not bankruptcy was the only option when you're facing foreclosure.
Today, we would like to follow that question up with the best way to handle a foreclosure without going through the life-altering process of bankruptcy.
Sue your mortgage company before the foreclosure takes place.
When they tell you the foreclosure date, be sure to file your lawsuit before that date.
We recommend that you check your mortgage. There should be a clause that gives you the right to go to court and tell the judge that you have defenses against this foreclosure.
Then you let the court decide whether or not the foreclosure should happen.
We followed the rules. Your mortgage (most anyway) explicitly allow you to sue to have a judge decide.
Sometimes the mortgage companies will do it anyway. Even some foreclosure lawyers will do it.
If they do this, the first thing you need to do is get in touch with the foreclosure lawyer and get them to fix it.
They'll try to argue with you and tell you that it'll be complicated because of one excuse or another.
Be firm. Let them know that you don't care if it's difficult, they need to fix this mistake.
Then, you'll need to get in touch with your mortgage company and let them know that they need to fix this mistake as well.
In addition, they need to explain how this could have happened.
This part is done through the right type of letters, which we talk about in other articles.
Afterward, you'll go to court (because you've already sued your mortgage company) and tell the judge about what the mortgage company has done.
You can ask the judge to set the judgment aside after you explain what happened.
You should also reach out to any third party involved, let them know that there was a lawsuit going on with the property, and urge them to tell the mortgage company to fix it.
They need to let the mortgage company know that they want this mess fixed also.
If the mortgage company still refuses to undo the foreclosure, then we will need to gather up all of our defenses and go to court with the mortgage company.
We may also want to look into suing the mortgage law firm.
They may have violated the FDCPA (Fair Debt Collection Practices Act), or maybe they have violated the state law.
Unfortunately, we can't explain why they would be idiotic and foreclose on you.
However, when you do sue them, make sure that you have all your information together and that every party involved is in the court.
Ultimately, it's up to you to decide how you handle your foreclosure.
However, the worst thing you can do is ignore the situation.
The way we handle mortgage companies that foreclose on consumers is by going after them. There's no excuse for them to foreclose on consumers if the mortgage company has been sued by the consumer before the foreclosure.
If you don't sue them before the foreclosure happens, then they get to make their excuses.
But if you sue them beforehand, then the mortgage company loses all of its excuses.
It's interesting to watch the mortgage company scramble and explain how this mess could have happened.
The point is, it's possible to undo a foreclosure.
This article is longer than usual, and it may seem like we're ranting, but we want you to understand that you can get out of a foreclosure in Alabama.
If these guys are acting crazy, you have to fight back and set them straight.
Once we've undone the foreclosure, we need to figure out the damages that the mortgage company has done.
How have they harmed us?
Well, they foreclosed on us, they messed up my credit report by putting false information on it, and caused emotional stress for us because they ignored our rightful lawsuit and foreclosed anyway.
The mortgage company should pay for those damages because it's their mistake. Actually, not a mistake — an intentional deliberate act. This was no accident — they fully intended to foreclose even though you sued before the foreclosure. Outrageous conduct by the mortgage company needs to met with fire and fury.
If you've already retained a lawyer, definitely get in touch with them and get a game plan together with them.
If you live in Alabama and you have any questions about what we've talked about, feel free to get in touch with us.

Daniel Kelly's "Yuck!: The Nature and Moral Significance of Disgust"
Daniel Kelly is an assistant professor in the philosophy department at Purdue University. His research interests are at the intersection of the philosophy of mind, cognitive science and moral theory. In addition to his work on disgust he has published papers on moral judgment, social norms, racial cognition, and cross-cultural diversity.
He applied the "Page 99 Test" to his new book, Yuck!: The Nature and Moral Significance of Disgust, and reported the following:
It isn't news that philosophy can get pretty abstract and confusing. One way to temper this is to follow the Aristotelian advice to "tell 'em what you're gonna tell 'em; tell 'em; then tell 'em what you told 'em." Another is to provide pictures. Readers turning to page 99 of Yuck! The Nature and Moral Significance of Disgust will see both strategies in action.
First to catch the eye will be the picture, a psychological model of humans' disgust system. This is pretty representative of what I'm up to in the book – I trot it out at the end of chapters, incorporating insights worked through within. I needed a way to gather together and represent what was known about the emotion, and show how more specific ideas fit into the bigger picture. The first chapter gets the model up and running; it gathers all kinds of recent findings about disgust, and walks through how the pieces of this model capture and explain the broad themes of that work. It might be surprising that there is a lot of research on disgust, but it turns out that the emotion provides an intriguing window into human nature: only humans have it (why?), it's shaped by both nature and nurture (how so?), it's been shown to inform morality in a number of ways (what ways?), leading some ethicists to imbue the emotion with a kind of moral authority (are they right to do this?) I try to answer these questions throughout the book.
The text of page 99 – a little jargony without context – is me tellin'em what I told'em in more detail in the body of the chapter. Its main claim is about how the emotion is influenced by both nature and nature:
"disgust's sentimental signaling system is a crucial part of disgust's acquisition system."
People instinctively signal to each other when they are disgusted by something. The propensity to make that grossed out facial expression (called the gape face) is largely innate, as is the capacity to recognize that another person is disgusted when she is making it (nature). But there is also variation in what different people and different cultures find disgusting; that not everything that triggers disgust is innate points to a role for learning as well (nurture). Page 99 is the summation of my case that it's the innate psychological machinery underlying expression and recognition of disgust that allows the social learning of different disgust elicitors.

View the key for New Zealand English here.
The relatively homogenous varieties of English spoken in New Zealand (Gordon & Maclagan 2008) in one sense make this one of the more straightforward varieties to represent. Historical influences from settlers from across the British Isles and Australia have resulted in patterns and contrasts clearly similar to these varieties in many respects, with Southern English by far the most significant phonological influence (although a semi-rhotic Scottish-influenced quality remains in Southland and parts of Otago on the South Island).
The base New Zealand English model is therefore largely based on the phonetic qualities described by Bauer & Warren (2008), and influenced by the contrasts portrayed in Deverson & Kennedy's (2005) The New Zealand Oxford Dictionary (NZOD). The vowel keywords and their symbols are given in the table below.
Of the compromises required in developing this model, one is deserving of particular mention. Bauer & Warren note how lip-rounding is relatively weak in New Zealand English, but there an auditory impression of lip-rounding can still be heard even where the lips are not strongly rounded. This is particularly apparent in words such as nurse. Rather than introduce a new symbol to represent this particular phonetic feature, or use a rounded vowel symbol which would misrepresent lip positioning, the most appropriate symbol within the OED's existing symbol set was instead for the unrounded vowel /ɜː/. This reflects that there is a difference in quality from the British /əː/, but the compromise is that it is conflated with the Australian equivalent.
In general, New Zealand English is not a rhotic variety, so /r/ sounds pattern more similarly to British English than American English, but 'flapping' of /t/ to /d/ (bitter as /ˈbɪdə/) is commonplace and reflected consistently between vowels and between vowels and syllabic consonants.
Despite the consistency across much of the New Zealand English variety, its model is unique amongst OED models in having a distinct pronunciation subset. Words of Māori origin are treated slightly differently from the rest. Although it is not the intention to represent a distinct Māori English (as described by Warren & Bauer 2008) nor adopt pronunciations simply reflective of the Māori language, the changing cultural and socio-political scene in New Zealand appears to have resulted in many European-origin speakers adopting less anglicized pronunciations of Māori terms, which the standard pronunciation model is insufficient to capture. Considerable evidence can be found on public video-hosting sites of speakers fluently interspersing their New Zealand English speech with Māori-approximating pronunciations of particular words. As Bauer & Warren suggest, these can be considered instances of code-shifting, i.e. the speaker is no longer speaking 'English' but a different language. Speakers who use non-native forms may adopt forms which are closer or more distant from the Māori, with 'nativist' and 'assimilationist' degrees of anglicization. The pronunciations of those English speakers using near-native Māori pronunciations can be captured by permitting variations of length to existing New Zealand vowels, with varying degrees of anglicization reflected in subsequent pronunciations depending on the word.
The Māori-origin pronunciations therefore use ten vowel symbols, five short and long pairs, as shown in the table below, which broadly correspond to the Māori spelling (the basis for the grid is from the Maori Language Commission 2015). It should be noted that not all sources display the macrons (the lines above the longer vowels) and they do not appear in the headwords of OED entries, but they are frequently given in the etymology sections of such words.
Diphthong vowels, where two vowel qualities are glided between but within the same syllable (as in British face or voice), are also a feature of Māori-origin pronunciations, but it is not always straightforward to determine these situations versus those where vowels are produced in sequence over two syllables. Vowel rendering can therefore lead to coincidental two-vowel sequences such as /ʌu/ for vowels where anglicization would be more commonly to an /æu/ diphthong (this may be apparent where the first British pronunciation gives /aʊ/). Relatedly, the stress patterns of Māori words are also different from English, based around units of speech known as morae, though the extent to which New Zealand English speakers retain Māori stress patterning is unclear at present. Review of these patterns is ongoing, with further revisions to be expected.

Trial date set for alleged Nelson Mandela University rapist
Eastern Cape / 28 May 2018, 2:41pm / Raahil Sain
A protest banner outside the PE Magistrate's Court where NMU students protested at an earlier appearance of a man who allegedly raped two young women on campus. File picture: ANA Reporter
Port Elizabeth - A 29-year old man charged with raping two Nelson Mandela University (NMU) students is expected to stand trial in the next three months.
The man made a brief appearance in the Port Elizabeth High Court on Monday for a pre-trial conference.
He faces charges of rape, robbery and housebreaking.
During October last year, a 25-year-old student and her friend were violently attacked in a computer lab at the Second Avenue Campus.
The man allegedly raped the students, robbed them of their cellphones and stabbed one of them with a pair of scissors.
The women were then forced to take a computer and monitor, which they had to carry until they were outside the building. The attacker ordered the women to pass the loot to him before he jumped the gate and fled, police said at the time.
The man cannot be named until he formally pleads.
It previously emerged that he has a conviction of robbery with aggravating circumstances. He subsequently abandoned his bid for bail and remains in custody.
The case was postponed until August 27.

Not too long ago, one of the leading computer companies filed an application to trademark the term 'cloud computing', which was denied by the US Patent and Trademark Office. That was in August 2008 when cloud computing was in its infancy. Yet that act was a kind of starting line: since then, cloud computing has received a lot of attention.
The economic downturn most likely provided an impetus to jumpstart cloud computing. The potential is huge. Cloud computing could transform the IT industry from an asset-centric approach to a services-centric approach. It could change IT from on-premise technology to on-demand services.
The last two years saw tremendous innovation and progress, especially in the 'Infrastructure-as-a-Service' realm. Because of the low utilization of servers and the introduction of virtualization layer and related software, server virtualization took off. What started off as a concept concerning the virtualization of servers has extended to include network virtualization, desktop virtualization and application virtualization.
Amazon, a retail giant, has quietly become a big player in the IT industry through innovation. The growth of this industry has not been without some setbacks. There has been the publicized outage of Amazon EC2 and the Sony Playstation network data breach.
More recently, there are allegations about encryption and data security practices followed by an online storage company. Would the IT industry now adopt cloud computing rather cautiously?
Forrester: The recent Forrester report "Sizing the Cloud" provides a good idea of the various verticals and horizontals in the cautious, complex and dynamic cloud computing market for the next 10 years. The report says that the cloud computing market will leap from $40.7 billion this year to more than $241 billion in 2020 with a year-to-year growth of over 20%. It also discusses the market sizes for the three deployment models of cloud computing — the public cloud, the virtual private cloud, and the private cloud.
According to the report, the present $2.9 billion size of Infrastructure-as-a-Service will increase to $5.9 billion in 2014 and then taper off to $4.8 billion. This tapering will happen between 2014 and 2020 because of commoditization, increased automation efficiencies and reduced margins to compete effectively.
The report estimates explosive growth in Software-as-a-Service with its market size estimated to be over 80% of the global public cloud market. It's market size just in the global public cloud space is estimated to grow to $92.75 billion by 2016 and to $132.57 billion by 2020.
Gartner: By 2014, Gartner predicts worldwide cloud services revenue (both public and private) will reach more than $148 billion. With its latest survey, Gartner received responses from 2,014 CIOs representing more than $160 billion in CIO IT spending and covering 38 industries across 50 countries. The survey found that only 3% of CIOs today have more than half of their infrastructure and applications operating in the cloud. But that number is expected to grow to 46% by 2015, making cloud transformation the hallmark of many CIOs at their current companies.
"By the end of 2011, the battle for leadership in PaaS and the key PaaS segments will engulf the software industry," said Yefim Natis, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner. "Early consolidation of specialized PaaS offerings into PaaS suites will also be evident.
Ovum: The next big growth area in cloud computing will be the rise of platform-as-a-service (PaaS) technology, which will step out from the shadow of infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS). IaaS has become an important cloud success story in the past three years, spearheaded by Amazon and the uptake of virtualization technology, which has given rise to an army of Amazon clones.
However, this year PaaS will make its mark, not just because of the efforts by Microsoft, Google and Salesforce.com but also because of the launch of new offerings. PaaS services were launched by VMware and Red Hat in late 2010 and IBM is expected to enter the fray in 2011. This will give rise to a strong PaaS ecosystem to rival IaaS.
PaaS pioneers Google, Microsoft and Salesfore.com adopted the PaaS as fabric approach. The next wave of PaaS offerings could be with a compute instance-based approach rather than a compute fabric one.
451 Market Monitor: The market for software that enables cloud computing will grow from $4.5 billion in 2010 to more than $11.6 billion by 2014, according to a new report from 451 Group, a leading independent IT research and analyst organization.
MarketsandMarkets: The global computing market is expected to grow from 37.8 billion in 2010 to 121.1 billion in 2015 at a CAGR of 26.2% from 2010 to 2015. SaaS is the largest contributor in the cloud computing services market, accounting for 73% of the market's revenues in 2010.
Federal government: Office of Management and Budget (OMB) predicts that of the $80 billion federal IT spend, $20 billion can potentially move to the cloud.
Amazon: UBS analysts estimate a revenue figure of $500 million in 2010, and predicts this to rise to $750 million in 2011 and a massive $2.5 billion in 2014. Citigroup's prediction for 2010 revenue was $650 million.
Rackspace: The 451 Group conservatively estimates that revenue from Rackspace's cloud services was $100 million in 2010.


With all the hoopla surrounding Hillary Clinton's historic nomination for the Presidency of the United States, it's important to remember that her "first" comes with a caveat: she's the first female nominee for President from one of the two major parties. But long before she broke that glass ceiling, Victoria Claflin Woodhull broke the gender barrier. In 1872—75 years before Hillary Clinton was born—Victoria Woodhull won the nomination of the Equal Rights Party (who also nominated Frederick Douglass for Vice President). She came to national prominence through a series of lectures and writings on the United States government: what it was and what she believed it ought to be. She collected much of that thinking into the volume The Origins, Tendencies and Principles of Government.
And while she was waging her unsuccessful campaign for the Presidency, she was also part of the growing movement for female suffrage, which culminated in the adoption of the 19th Amendment in 1920. She was also a proponent of Free Love, freedom for women to choose how and with whom they'd live their lives, and even topics that were radical at the time, and today are simply expressions of equality.
In this newest year of the woman, Gray Rabbit Publications is proud to be publishing two volumes of Victoria Woodhull's ideas.
The Origins, Tendencies and Principles of Government (266 pages, $8.99, trade paperback, ISBN: 978-1-5154-0047-9) is the original text published by Woodhull's own firm in 1871.
Victoria C. Woodhull: Ideas Ahead of Her Time (210 pages, $7.99, trade paperback, ISBN: 978-1-5154-0046-8) is a collection of essays on suffrage, government and society, collected together for the first time. Contents include: "A New Constitution for the United States of the World," "The Memorial of Victoria C. Woodhull to Congress," "Constitutional Equality," "A Lecture on Constitutional Equality," "Children—Their Rights and Privileges," "And The Truth Shall Make You Free," "The Elixir of Life, or, Why Do We Die?" and "The Garden of Eden, or, The Paradise Lost & Found."
Both books are available through all major online retailers, and to physical bookstores via special order through Ingram, which is the distributor of all Gray Rabbit titles.

Q: Cross-domain Javascript - Pull Meta Tags I'm building a Meteor.js app and one of the things I'd like to do is pull the title and meta description tags from a saved page. I'm using this cross domain program and have half of the code working.
Here's the excerpt; it takes the value given in a form tagged "url" and runs the code:
$.get(url, function(response){
      if ((suggestedTitle=((/<title>(.*?)<\/title>/m).exec(response.responseText))) != null){
          $('#title').val(suggestedTitle[1]);
      }else{
          $('#title').val(url);
      }
      if ((suggestedDesc=($('meta[name=description]').attr('content'))) != undefined){
        $('#desc').val(suggestedDesc[1]);
      }else{
        $('#desc').val('Description for this page cannot be found.');
      }
   });

I recognize it's not best practice to use regular expressions to parse HTML (open to suggestions on an alternative but I haven't looked into it too carefully) but that aside, this script successfully pulls the title from the URL or returns the web address if it can't be found, but the description fails and just returns the fallback text. Would appreciate some help, thanks :)

A: Instead of using regex or jQuery to parse the response, use DOM methods to go through the response text. Try this:
$.ajax({
    url: "http://www.google.com",
    type: "GET",
    async: true
}).done(function (response) {
    var div = document.createElement("div"),
        responseText = response.results[0],
        title, metas, meta, name, description, i;
    div.innerHTML = responseText;
    title = div.getElementsByTagName("title");
    title = title.length ? title[0].innerHTML : undefined;
    metas = div.getElementsByTagName("meta");
    for (i = 0; i < metas.length; i++) {
        name = metas[i].getAttribute("name");
        if (name === "description") {
            meta = metas[i];
            description = meta.getAttribute("content");
            break;
        }
    }
    console.log("Title:", title);
    console.log("Description:", description);
}).fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
    console.log("AJAX ERROR:", textStatus, errorThrown);
});

DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/KLdsG/3/
I put the plugin you provided at the top (it's minified so it will fit and you can still see your own code.
Obviously, this uses http://www.google.com, but you should be able to put any URL in and it work the same. Also, you can put this into a reusable function - I just wanted to show an example. I would assume it works the same with $.get() instead of $.ajax().
You can't directly use response.responseText, because the item returned is an object consisting of a few things. To get the HTML, you can use response.results[0]. response.results is obviously an array, and I'm not sure what else could be in there (like in index 1, 2, 3, etc.).
And I found weird things happening when I tried using $(response.results[0]), so I just stuck with normal DOM manipulation.

Seoul Accused of Torture
By John Burgess
An emotional campaign launched by dissidents against what they call widespread use of torture by the government has grown in recent weeks following allegations by a labor organizer that a South Korean policeman sexually assaulted her during a station house interrogation two months ago.
The government, which concedes the woman was beaten but not sexually abused, has tried to end further debate on the case.
But many Koreans appear to have latched onto this incident as a means to dramatize their allegations about widespread torture.
Riot police dispersed about 3,000 people who gathered last month for a protest rally on the woman's case at the Myongdong Cathedral and two weeks ago, about 1,000 riot police and plainclothes officers barred entry to Seoul's Anglican cathedral, where another prayer and protest meeting against torture had been scheduled.
Dissidents and human rights activists said the number of torture cases is unknown but that the woman's case is the latest in a series.
Her case is also unusual because Korean women seldom make public accusations of rape or other sexual violence because society typically blames them for such incidents nearly as much as it does their attackers and because their chances of marriage are threatened. But in this incident, the woman sued the policeman, and the case quickly drew wide public interest.
In Washington, the State Department, referring to the woman's case, has noted that four police officials were dismissed in connection with it. "There are credible allegations that the police mistreatment was more severe and harsher than acknowledged," a spokesman said. The department also said, "We find such treatment of prisoners deplorable and appalling."
Dissidents also are questioning circumstances of the deaths in recent months of four men said to have been involved in antigovernment activities. The authorities have ruled that they died by suicide or natural causes.
According to an official at the Human Rights Committee of the Korean National Council of Churches, prisoners are manhandled or beaten so often that many of them consider it routine. Less frequent, but still reported regularly, he said, are more elaborate forms of abuse such as electric shock, dripping of water into prisoners' noses and, for women, sexual abuse or harassment.
Last fall, the government was accused of torturing Kim Kun Tae, an organizer at a dissident group called the Democratic Youth League. Two editors of the major Seoul newspaper Dong-a Ilbo were reported to have been beaten while police questioned them over a broken news embargo. The government dismissed both cases as fabrications.
Dissidents also said the military tortured about 15 persons arrested this spring on charges that included participating in illegal labor activity, making false statements about a joint U.S.-Korean military exercise and taking part in rioting at Inchon.
Critics said police rely on coerced confessions to obtain convictions in many cases, but torture during interrogation is rarely proved beyond a doubt. Reluctance to expose failures of Confucian concepts of moral government or to give communist North Korea material for propaganda are said to reinforce the government's unwillingness to investigate reports of torture. The London-based human rights group Amnesty International has said it knows of many credible reports of torture in South Korea but only two cases in which officials have been prosecuted for it.
The government has dismissed most allegations of torture as fabrications intended to discredit it. Abuse is rare, officials said, and determined efforts are under way to stamp out what does exist. They cited the fact that the sexual assault case was investigated and debated publicly as a sign of progress.
"If that type of thing happened in the past, the police would have tried to put it under a rock," said H.C. Hyun, a former senior official in the Korean Central Intelligence Agency and now a spokesman for President Chun Doo Hwan's ruling Democratic Justice Party.
The government also argues that many of today's dissidents are hardened revolutionaries who, while in custody, provoke officers by shouting obscenities, destroying government property and, in at least one case, throwing excrement.
The accuser in the sexual assault case is a 22-year-old radical labor organizer who formerly attended the elite Seoul National University. She alleged that during interrogations at a police station in Puchon, west of Seoul, on June 6 and 7, a policeman forced her to remove most of her clothes, beat her, attempted to have oral sex with her and committed other acts of sexual violence. During the ordeal, he repeatedly demanded to know the names of other dissidents, she said.
A committee of nine lawyers formed by the opposition to defend the woman interviewed her in jail and issued a report amplifying her claims. The report circulated in churches and dissident offices, since South Korea's closely supervised newspapers did not print full details.
Under pressure, the government conducted an investigation. It announced afterward that it had found that the policeman had forced her to remove her jacket in order to humiliate her, had hit her on the breast six or eight times during interrogation and had used abusive language.
This, however, did not constitute sexual abuse, it said. Her charges were fabrications aimed at "damaging the prestige of law enforcement agencies and abetting and escalating revolutionary antiestablishment struggles," it said in a formal statement. It also accused her and fellow activists of leading "morally decadent private lives."
The policeman was fired, but prosecutors said they would not indict him because he had a good record until this case and was repentant. The woman remains in jail on the original charge of stealing a resident registration card with the intent of using it to conceal her student background and get a job at a factory.
Dissidents said prosecutors found out the true story but got orders from above to back off.
"The government doesn't want to punish him but protects him," said Kim Dae Jung, an opposition leader. The government is adamant that the full story is out.

The Millstätter See ranks as one of the very special gems among Carinthia's 200 lakes – and that's even how it has come to be known: as the jewel of Carinthia. Seeboden, Millstatt and Döbriach are rated three of the most beautiful places around its shores. The whole area is a delight for hikers, cyclists, families with children and holiday-makers-at-leisure – and similarly for water sports enthusiasts, who are particularly taken with the crystal-clear lake water "of drinking-water quality".
For those in search of a property on Lake Millstätter See, its privileged position, to the north of the Drautal valley, at an altitude of 588m is something they particularly value. The mild climate ensures a consistently pleasant water temperature throughout the summer months. Attractions that are always in high demand include the Lakeview Golf Course above Millstatt and the town's exclusive Bathhouse – which promises all-year-round "Lake Wellness". And let's not forget such culinary delights as Carinthian Kasnocken that contribute so much to the character of the Region.
Away from the glamour of the Wörthersee, a clientele has established itself on Lake Millstätter See that values tranquillity (as well as the good infrastructure) more highly. It attracts the sort of business people who have no interest in appearing on TV celebrity reviews, just as much as it does nature lovers and families. But this kind of appeal is also reflected in prices that have increased sharply over recent years. Today, for example, a new-build apartment comes at between EUR 3,500 and EUR 7,000 per square metre.

The Michelin-starred Costes Downtown restaurant announced two unique gastronomic attractions: a special dinner in the cabins of the Budapest Ferris Wheel on October 17, and the launch of a new concept which completely reinterprets the concept of home delivery, according to a press release sent to the Budapest Business Journal.
At 7 p.m. on October 17, the wheel will become a restaurant, serving specialties available on the menu of Costes Downtown. The menu was put together by the chef of the Michelin-starred restaurant, Miguel Vieira.
Károly Gerendai, co-owner of Costes restaurants, noted that while the idea of a "ferris wheel restaurant" has come up in the past, the high utilization of the ferris wheel made the implementation impossible. However, due to the decline in tourism, there is now an opportunity to go ahead with the plan.
He also said that pandemic safety rules will also be met, as the cabins of the ferris wheel are completely separated from each other. A booth will be able to accommodate up to four people.
Michelin-star home delivery experience
"Unfortunately, the virus situation has not only zeroed the Ferris wheel traffic, but the number of restaurants has dropped significantly, so we had to close the Costes on Ráday utca, for example, and the Costes Downtown is now only open three days a week, Thursday, Friday and Saturday," said Gerendai. "But to avoid having to get rid of staff, we're embarking on an innovative home delivery initiative that doesn't simply bring food home, but conjures up a complete Michelin-starred dinner at home."
This means that guests can now invite the restaurant's chefs and waiters to their own home to cook authentic Costes dishes. The guest may also participate in the process, but there will be no need to do the dishes after dinner as the invited staff will take care of every detail.
Online registration/booking is required for both the ferris wheel dinner and the Michelin-star home delivery experience at www.costesdowntown.hu or by phone at + 36209267837.

In 2019We are changing our annual project from high school scholarships to REVERSE SCHOLARSHIPS to draw attention to Grandparent and Parent debt. Strike Debt Portland will be giving small checks to low income seniors who had money garnished from their Social Security and/or disability checks by the government for their student loan debt or for co-signing student loans for family members.
Read more about this issue under NEWS in a current research paper by Roberta Badger Cain.
we worked with Reynolds High School in Troutdale.
The students are receiving much more information about the dangers of student debt but understanding what that means varies greatly. We see a great need to start Strike Debt Clubs at Portland Community College and Mt. Hood Community College. Student members can hold Debtors' Assemblies to help educate their peers. Want to help make this happen? look under contacts at the top of the page.
More than 50 percent of Oregon college grads are in debt, and Oregon is ranked 22nd in the country for its amount of average student loan debt per borrower.
That amount per borrower in Oregon is $27,500.
Strike Debt started a Scholarship fund and gave out scholarships to two Franklin High School Graduates. Applicants were asked to write an essay about student debt and how it might affect their futures. Our committee of six selected two women who were the first in their families to graduate from high school. They are both completing their first year at Portland Community College.
Please donate to our Scholarship Fund. 100% of all donations will go to Reverse Scholarship for low income seniors. See the information below to contribute.

There are a range of over the counter teeth whitening products available. Here, our Surrey dentist explain why professional whitening systems are safer and more effective.
Over the counter whitening treatments are not particularly effective. They only remove surface stains, but don't result in a significantly whiter smile.
Products like whitening strips, toothpastes, or rinses don't whiten caps, bonding, or veneers. They only whiten natural teeth, so you could end up with an unevenly coloured smile.
Because professional whitening at your dentist's office is more controlled and often done as part of a full mouth dental restoration, you can plan your teeth whitening in conjunction with your dental restorations. In short, you can whiten your teeth first, and then have the restorations completed to match the new, whiter colour.
Professional whitening products produce a significantly more noticeable result versus over the counter products. In addition to removing stains, they lighten the actual colour of your teeth.
Professional whitening products are more expensive than over the counter products, but the price difference is worth it for the superior results!
If you're interested in teeth whitening, get in touch with our Surrey dentists to book a consultation!


Several treatments employing endoscopy are being used or tested for increasing the strength of the lower esophageal sphincter to prevent reflux and other gerd-related complications. Many of these techniques have studies underway but have not had ample long-term follow-up to evaluate their effectiveness and possible complications.
Transoral flexible endoscopic suturing (also called Bard's procedure, or the Bard EndoCinch Suturing System) uses a tiny device at the end of the endoscope that works like a mini sewing machine. It sutures stitches near the lower esophageal sphincter, which tighten the valve and increase pressure to prevent reflux.
create a pleat, which are then tied to tighten the valve and increase pressure.
The endoscopic suturing procedure has many advantages over the alternative treatments for GERD.
The most commonly reported side effects from the clinical trials included nausea, vomiting and sore throat.
of major surgery. Appropriate patient selection is important. Patients may require retreatment after several years or as a result of procedural difficulties with the initial suturing. Further studies are needed to establish the long-term effectiveness of this technology, and to determine the costs, safety and patient preferences for endoscopic suturing in comparison with other therapies.

From Amazon: After getting tossed from her posh boarding school, wild, willful, and coffee addicted Cyd Charisse returns to San Francisco to live with her parents. But there's no way Cyd can survive in her parents' pristine house. Lucky for Cyd she's got Gingerbread, her childhood rag doll and confidante, and her new surfer boyfriend.
When Cyd's rebelliousness gets out of hand, her parents ship her off to New York City to spend the summer with "Frank real-dad," her biological father. Trading in her parents for New York City grunge and getting to know her bio-dad and step-sibs is what Cyd has been waiting for her whole life. But summer in the city is not what Cyd expects -- and she's far from the daughter or sister that anyone could have imagined.
I found this in a local charity shop so didn't realise it's an American publication – it's available if you are able to order online.
This was my first Rachel Cohn book and I enjoyed it. Cyd Charisse certainly has a very unique voice – at first I wasn't sure I was going to like her she was so 'in your face' but she soon grew on me. I liked her no holds barred attitude and the way she spoke.
The book is really quirky – one of the characters is a doll called gingerbread (hence the title)! – but is great fun too. The main drew of the book for me were the different relationships – Cyd and Shrimp, Cyd and her family and Cyd and her 'bio dad' (and his family). The dynamics of these were really interesting and I especially liked her banter with her half-brother.
I really enjoyed this. It was really quirky and cute.
I think I'd like this, and I know this author creates unusual and strong female characters. Thanks for the great review!
I think I'd like this too, it sounds fun and I love the cover.

Teenage drunk driving worst in Arkansas, Louisiana as study links road fatalities to student tipplers
Drunk-driving fatalities in the US represent almost a third of all driving fatalities.
By Shubham Ghosh

The National Minimum Legal Drinking Act, 1984, mandates that one has to be 21 years of age in the US to consume alcohol. If the rule is found to be violated, then there is also provision for strong punishment. But yet, underage drinking and consequences related to it like health disorders and accidents are still a major problem in the US. As per the National Survey on Drug Use and Health of 2015, a large number of teenagers aged between 12 and 17 were found to be suffering from alcohol-related disorders (623,000 of them) making up 2.5 percent of people in that particular age group. Of these teenagers, more are females (325,000).
According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, while 3.1 percent of adults report controlling the wheels after too much drinking, 5.5 percent of teenagers have reportedly driven after drinking any alcohol.
One good news is that the statistics have shown an improvement over the years. In 1991, the percentage of teenagers who reportedly used alcohol was more than 50. In 2017, the percentage came down to less than 30. In terms of teens riding a vehicle driven by a drunk driver, the percentage was 16.5 in 2017 compared to 40 two-half-decades earlier.
(Representational Image) Arkansas has been found to have registered 4.8 deaths caused by drunk driving per 100,000 people
Drunk-driving fatalities in the US represent almost a third of all driving fatalities. In 2017, a total number of 37,133 road accidents were reported and out of them, 10,874 saw the drivers having an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more.
If one breaks it down to the state level, there is a correlation between state-level drunk driving fatality rates and the proportion of students from high schools who drive under the influence of drinking. It has been reported that states with larger shares of high-school students who drink and drive see more deaths related to drunk-driving per capita. In Utah, for instance, only 2.8 percent of high-school students report drunk-driving and the number of drunk-driving-related traffic deaths per 100,000 people in the state is only 1.7 percent. In Arkansas, the corresponding figures are 10.7 percent and 4.8 percent, respectively. The national average of drunk-driving deaths per 100,000 people is 3.4.
Researchers at CheapCarInsuranceQuotes.com broke down data received from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention High School Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System to rank the states from the worst upwards in terms of teens most unlikely to drive under the influence of alcohol. The ranking was done by the percentage of teens who reported driving after drinking one or more times in the past month.
Some of the states ranked bottom up
Arkansas was ranked the worst among the 15 ranked states with 10.7 percent of teens driving while drinking; 26.3 percent of teens riding a vehicle driven by a drinking driver; 25.7 percent of teens who drank alcohol; 3.1 percent of adults who drove after heavy drinking and 4.8 deaths caused by drunk driving per 100,000 people.
Louisiana was ranked second-worst with 10 percent of teens driving while drinking; 28.2 percent of teens rode a vehicle driven by a drinking driver; 34 percent of teens drank alcohol; 4.6 percent of adults drove after getting drunk, and 4.7 deaths caused by drunk-driving per 100,000 people.
In the third-worst place was Montana where teens driving while drinking was found to be 7.6 percent; teens who rode with a drunk driver, 19.8 percent; teens who consumed alcohol, 33.1 percent; adults who drove under the heavy influence of alcohol, 3.7 and traffic fatalities caused by drunk driving at 5.4 per 100,000 people.
The best-ranked among the 15 states is Idaho with six percent teens driving while drinking; 15.9 percent of teens who traveled in a vehicle steered by a drunk driver; 26.5 percent of teens who drank alcohol; 2.9 percent of adults who drove after having drunk highly, and 3.5 deaths caused by drunk driving per 100,000 people.
Arizona and Connecticut are the second and third best-ranking states with 6.2 and 6.3 percent of teens driving while drinking, respectively.

Tangentbussol är ett äldre instrument för mätning av elektrisk ström. Det består av en kort magnetnål, placerad i centrum av en cirkulär trådslinga i meridianens plan. Tangenten för nålens utslagsvinkel är proportionell mot strömmen genom spolen.

Teknisk funktion
I en vertikal ring av koppar eller mässing är insatt en kompass med kort nål i den magnetiska meridianen, i ringens medelpunkt. När strömmen föres genom ringen, som nedtill är öppen och där ansluten till polskruvar, gör nålen en avvikning från den magnetiska meridianen, så att strömstyrkan I genom ringen är nära proportionell mot avvikningsvinkeln α, så att man approximativt har

I = c ⋅ tg α,

där c är instrumentets reduktionsfaktor.

Om den ström som undersöks är svag, blir nålens avvikning liten, eftersom strömmen förs endast ett varv runt ringen. Man kan då använda en trådslinga som är lindad i flera varv kring en ram av trä eller mässing i stället för metallringen, varvid avvikningen blir i samma grad större.

För att visa detta och härleda ovanstående grundformel för tangentbussolen, kan man anta att trådvarvens radie är b och deras antal n och således trådens hela längd = 2πnb. Den nämnda kraften är då vinkelrät mot ringens plan

f = 2πnIμ/b

om μ är intensiteten hos polen.

Komposanten i en mot nålen vinkelrät riktning är = f cos α. Men på samma pol verkar jordmagnetismens horisontala komposant = H μ, och dennas komposant, motverkande den förra, är = H μ sin α. Av detta följer

I = Hb/2πn ⋅ tg α

så att reduktionsfaktorn är

c = Hb/2πn

Av detta framgår dels att för samma strömstyrka blir α större i samma gard som n, dels att utslagen beror på ringens radie och den jordmagnetiska kraften och blir således i allmänhet olika för olika instrument och på olika ställen på jorden.

Tangentbussolen i den vanliga formen ger endast ett approximativt värde, eftersom tangenten för utslagsvinkeln då är proportionell mot strömstyrkan, endast om längden av magnetnålen är oändligt liten i jämförelse med ringens diameter.

För Gaugains tangentbussol är kompassdosan placerad vid sidan
av ringen och med rotationscentrum i samma horisontalplan som dennas medelpunkt, men på ett avstånd lika med en fjärdedel av dennas diameter. Är därtill nålens längd endast en åttondedel av samma diameter, blir ovanstående formel nära nog exakt.

Natalie Schafer, a veteran comedic actress best known for her role as Lovey Howell, the millionaire's wife on the television series "Gilligan's Island," has died. She was 90.
Miss Schafer died Wednesday of cancer at her Beverly Hills home, her publicist and friend Frank Liberman announced Thursday.
She last appeared in "I'm Dangerous Tonight," for HBO last fall.
A native New Yorker who studied fashion design at the Merrill finishing school, Miss Schafer brought her own style, including a love of pearls and lorgnettes, to the role as the fluttery wife of Thurston Howell III, portrayed by the late Jim Backus.
Producers of the show originally planned to dress Mrs. Howell in tweeds and low-heeled shoes.
"But I've never worn low-heeled shoes in my life," Miss Schafer once told The Times. "And tweed skirts are too scratchy.
"So I decided Mrs. Howell should wear mad clothes--crazy hats, slacks with ruffly tops, gloves and jewelry with sports clothes," the actress said. "And pearls. Always pearls. At first the producers and writers were aghast and they fought the idea. But I finally won."
Like other members of the cast, she often agreed with critics who panned the series as silly. But the story of sightseers shipwrecked on a desert island ran for three years, and has continually been re-shown as something of a cult series.
Nervous about being tied down by a series, Miss Schafer said she took the part "because I didn't think it would last, and besides the pilot was being made in Honolulu, and I'd never been to Honolulu."
Confessing that she often got bored on the set of "Gilligan," she said she fought the feeling by doing needlepoint, including a piece that said, "This, too, shall pass."
Miss Schafer began her career on stage, performing in an Atlanta stock company and then playing opposite Pat O'Brien in "The Nut Farm" in Chicago and New York.
She met her late husband, Louis Calhern, while performing in "The Rhapsody" on Broadway.
"The romance was a smashing success," she said later, "but not the play."
Her screen debut came in 1944 in "Marriage Is a Private Affair" with Lana Turner. Among her subsequent films were "The Snake Pit" in 1948, "Anastasia" in 1956, "Susan Slade" in 1961 and "The Day of the Locust" in 1975.
Before "Gilligan," she impressed early television viewers in Philco, Kraft and Lux playhouse productions and in episodes of "I Love Lucy," "Route 66," and "The Beverly Hillbillies."
Miss Schafer is survived by several nieces and nephews and her longtime companion, Maurice Hill.
She had requested that any memorial contributions be made to the American Cancer Society or to the Motion Picture and Television Fund.
