I read this article and found it very interesting, thought it might be something for you. The article is called "Wage-Labor and Capital" by Karl Marx and is located at https://socialism.com/educationalresources/wage-labor-capital-karl-marx/.
How did Engels change Marx's text? Why?
How did classical political economy determine the value of commodities?
What discovery of Marx changed this?
What is the difference between labor and labor-power? How is their value different under capitalism?
What are wages, according to Marx? Why does he call "wages" a "special name for the price of labor-power"?
What part do wages play in the production of commodities?
Why does a worker sell her/his labor to the capitalists?
What is "the active expression of the laborer's own life?" Why does Marx say that a laborer's life begins after work?
Explain the historical differences in the labor of slaves, serfs, and workers.
Describe how competition among buyers, among sellers, and between buyers and sellers affects price. Which causes prices to rise, which to fall, and how?
Explain the cost of production.
Why does capital migrate between sources of production?
Classical economists say the average price of a commodity is equal to the cost of production. Does Marx agree? If not, why not?
How did the capitalists define capital?
Based on Chapter 5, what is Marx's definition of the social relations of production?
According to Marx, what does capital consist of? What distinguishes capital from other sums of accumulated labor? From other sums of exchange value? What does this have to do with the social relations of production?
How are accumulated labor and living labor exchanged in order for capital to exist?
Explain the following quote in context: "But it is just this noble reproductive power that the laborer surrenders to the capitalist in exchange for means of subsistence received. Consequently, he has lost it for himself." Think in terms of means of subsistence, accumulated labor, and the production of new values.
Explain how wage labor and capital bring each other into existence.
How are the interests of the capitalist and the worker the same? How are they not the same?
What is the growth of productive capital? Give an example.
Define and explain nominal wages, real wages, and relative wages. How does inflation affect real wages? What is the relationship of relative wages to capital?
Which parts of the selling price come from previously existing values? Which parts are new value, and where does this new value come from?
How does the growth of capital affect the relations between the working class and the capitalists? How does it affect the size of the working class? How does it affect the antagonism between the interests of workers and the interests of capitalists?
As capital increases rapidly, how might real wages be affected? How are relative wages affected? How are the material and social position of workers distinct?
Describe the growth of productive capital in terms of division of labor and machinery. Provide an example.
How do capitalist's tools for competing with other capitalists get affect other capitalists, workers, and ultimately the capitalist him/herself?
Explain how division of labor under capitalism begets greater and greater divisions of labor.
How does the increasing division of labor create more difficult conditions for the capitalist himself and for workers?
Describe the effect on the working class of the increasing division of labor.
What kinds of new employment develop under conditions of capitalist competition? Compare this with present day economic trends.
How does the competition among capitalists extend to competition among workers? Again, compare to the situation for workers today.
Why is the downfall of the middle class (or petty bourgeoisie) inevitable under the present system?
Marx writes that "capital not only lives upon labour. Like a master, at once distinguished and barbarous, it drags with it into its grave the corpses of its slave…" What does he mean?
Why and how do you think that the most highly technological societies subjugate the bourgeois classes of other less technologically advanced countries?
What are the options of the working class in a capitalist society?

Die indische Snooker-Meisterschaft ist ein seit 1939 ausgetragener nationaler Wettbewerb zu Ermittlung des indischen Meisters in der Billarddisziplin Snooker. Nach der ersten Austragung in den frühen 1930er-Jahren kamen ab 1977 immer mehr Wettbewerbe hinzu, sodass es aktuell acht verschiedene Meisterschaften gibt.

Geschichte

Männer

Hauptturnier
Die erste belegte Austragung ist auf das Jahr 1939 datiert, vermutlich gab es aber schon davor eine indische Snooker-Meisterschaft. Bis 1942 gewann P. K. Deb drei der vier Austragungen, ein weiteres Mal stand er im Finale. Nach einer Pause durch den Zweiten Weltkrieg dominierten T. A. Selvaraj und Wilson Jones bis in die 1950er-Jahre das Turniere, beide Spieler gewannen insgesamt neun Titel. Ebenso gab es mit Frank Edwards und Leslie Driffield zwei Engländer, die das Turnier gewannen. In den 1950er-Jahren stand zwischen 1952 und 1958 Chandra Hirjee jedes Jahr im Finale, doch er konnte nie gewinnen. Mitte der 1950er- siegte Mohammed Lafir aus Ceylon, der bis in die 1970er acht Titel gewinnen konnte. In den 1960er-Jahren dominierte aber Shyam Shroff den Wettbewerb, er siegte insgesamt sieben Mal. Nach der Rückkehr Lafirs auf das Siegerpodest und dem Dreifachsieger Arvind Savur siegte 1980 der Engländer Jimmy White, der nur zwei Jahre später im Finale einer Snookerweltmeisterschaft stehen sollte. Im folgenden Jahrzehnt war es Geet Sethi, der mit vier gewonnenen Meisterschaften dominierte.

Zu den besten Spielern der 1990er zählen Yasin Merchant und Alok Kumar, die die Meisterschaft bis 2003 drei bzw. vier Mal gewannen. 2003 siegte mit Pankaj Advani ein späterer Main-Tour-Profi, der aber bis ins neue Jahrzehnt noch Amateur bleiben sollte. Nach zwei durch Alok Kumar gewonnenen Meisterschaften siegte Manan Chandra, der zuvor schon mehrfach die U21-Meisterschaft gewonnen hatte. Im Januar 2007 siegte Alok Kumar zum letzten Mal in seiner Karriere, auf ihn folgte vier Jahre lang Pankaj Advani. In den Jahren 2011 und 2012 gewann Aditya Mehta, der ebenfalls später Main-Tour-Profi werden sollte. Nach dem zweiten Titelgewinn seitens Manan Chandras konnte Advani bis einschließlich 2017 drei der vier Meisterschaften gewinnen, 2016 gewann Mehta. Im Jahr 2018 gewann mit Sumit Talwar ein Neuling die 85. Austragung der Snooker-Meisterschaft der Männer. Nachdem Pankaj Advani 2019 seinen neunten Titel gewann, siegte 2020 zum vierten Mal Aditya Mehta. 2021 gewann Ishpreet Singh seinen ersten Titel.

Junioren (U21)
Ab Mitte der 1970er-Jahre wurde eine U21-Meisterschaft für Männer ausgetragen. Der erste belegte Sieger war Manan Chandra, der zwischen 1997 und 2001 drei Titel gewann. Auf ihn folgten zwei Mal Pankaj Advani, 2006 Aditya Mehta und 2007 Rishab Pantya und Shrava Mohta, bis 2008 Shahbaz Khan seinen ersten Titel gewann. Im folgenden Jahr konnte er ihn verteidigen und auch 2010 gewann er ihn, doch er wurde nachträglich disqualifiziert und der Titel aberkannt. Sieger wurde stattdessen Zubin Leninwala. 2012 gewann Laxman Rawat, im folgenden Jahr ging der Titel an Malkeet Singh, der 2018 im Finale der Männermeisterschaft stand. Auf ihn folgten Ashutosh Padhy und Avinash Kumar, bis 2018 mit Shrikrishna Suryanarayanan ein mehrfacher U17-Meister gewann. Mit Shoaib Khan und Digvijay Kadian folgten auch in den nächsten beiden Jahren vormalige U17-Meister. Letzterem gelang 2021 fast die Titelverteidigung, doch er verlor knapp gegen Rayaan Razmi.

Sub-Junioren (U17)
Die erste Austragung fand 2006 statt, erster bekannter Sieger ist Shravan Mohta, der ein Jahr später U21-Meister wurde. Im Dezember 2007 siegte Shoaib Khan, auf ihn folgte Dhvaj Haria, der bis 2012 jeweils im Abstand von zwei Jahren drei Titel holte. 2013 und 2014 siegte Ashutosh Padhy, der 2014 zeitgleich U21-Meister war. Nachdem 2015 Ishpreet Chadha gewonnen hatte, gewann Shrikrishna Suryanarayanan die nächsten drei Ausgaben. 2019 siegte Digvijay Kadian, der 2020 im Finale gegen Kreishh Gurbaxani verlor. 2021 fand kein Wettbewerb statt.

Titelträger

Frauen

Hauptturnier
Die erste Frauenmeisterschaft wurde 1989 ausgetragen, doch 1997 fand sie nur unregelmäßig statt. In den Anfangsjahren waren es vor allem Judy Walia, Pooja Galundia und Heena Khandelwal, die die Meisterschaften gewannen. Ab 2003 dominierte Vidya Pillai das Turnier, sie siegte bis 2016 insgesamt neun Mal. Sie wurde von Amee Kamani befolgt, die nach 2015 und 2017 2018 ihren dritten Meistertitel gewann. Nachdem 2019 die frühere Juniorenmeisterin Varshaa Sanjeev den Titel gewann, siegte 2020 Vidya Pillai ihren 10. Titel. 2021 gewann wiederum Amee Kamani.

Junioren (U21)
Die erste U21-Meisterschaft der Frauen fand zeitgleich mit der ersten U17-Meisterschaft im Jahr 2008 statt. Die ersten beiden Ausgaben gewann Arantxa Sanchis, auch die nachfolgende Varsha Sanjeev gewann zwei Wettbewerbe. 2013 siegte Keerath Bhandaal, die ihren Titel auch 2014 behielt, da eine neu Auflage wegen zu wenigen Teilnehmern nicht ausgetragen wurde. 2015 siegte dann Doyel Dey, nach ihr folgte wieder Bhandaal, die ihren Titel 2017 verteidigen konnte. 2018 gewann Ishika Shah, die von Anupama Ramachandran und Keerthana Pandian befolgt wurde. 2021 fand kein Wettbewerb statt.

Sub-Junioren (U17)
Zeitgleich mit der ersten U21-Meisterschaft wurde die erste U17-Meisterschaft im Jahr 2008 ausgetragen und ebenso wie die U21-Meisterschaft von Arantxa Sanchis gewonnen. Die nächsten fünf Ausgaben gingen jeweils zwei Mal an Keerathz Bhandaal und Varsha Sanjeev sowie ein Mal an Lahari Itlapuram, bis 2015 Doyel Dey gewann. Auf Dey folgten in den nächsten drei Jahren drei unterschiedliche Siegerinnen, erst Ishika Shah, dann Anupama Ramachandran. 2018 und 2020 gewann jeweils Keerthana Pandian, deren Siegesserie lediglich von Ishika Shah unterbrochen wurde. 2021 fand kein Wettbewerb statt.

Titelträger

Six-Red-Snooker
Sowohl die erste Männer- als auch die erste Frauenmeisterschaft im Six-Red-Snooker fand 2010 statt. Ab 2018 lassen sich keine weiteren Meisterschaften nachweisen

Die erste Meisterschaft gewann Pankaj Advani, der zu diesem Zeitpunkt bereits fünf Mal die Männermeisterschaft im normalen Snooker gewonnen hatte. Auf ihn folgte der ehemalige U21-Meister Shahbaz Khan, Shivam Arora und Varun Madan, der 2015 im Finale der Snookermeisterschaft verlor. Nachdem 2014 kein Wettbewerb stattfand, siegte 2015 Kamal Chawla, der in seiner Karriere bereits zwei Mal im Finale der normalen Männermeisterschaft stand und beide Male verlor. 2016 und 2017 siegte wieder Pankaj Advani, der auch die Neuauflage 2020 gewann. Die Ausgabe 2021 gewann mit Shrikrishna Suryanarayanan ein vormaliger Juniorenmeister im normalen Snooker.

ASHLAND, Ky. — The return of professional tennis to Ashland this summer certainly made its impact.
USTA Kentucky has awarded the Braidy Industries $60,000 Women's Tennis Classic as its Tournament of the Year, with an awards ceremony set for Jan. 25, 2019, in Louisville.
Janice Watson, president of the Greater Ashland Tennis Association, will also be honored as the Volunteer of the Year. Ashland Tennis Center Manager Jerry Groce will receive the Local League Coordinator of the Year.
Local juniors Parker Clarke (Most Improved Boy) and Ashton Whitt (Best Boys Sportsmanship) will also be recognized at the ceremony.
The Tennis Classic, sponsored by Braidy Industries and presented by Bon Secours Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital, was held July 22-29 at the Ashland Tennis Center and was widely praised for its success. American Gail Brodsky won the singles title with a three-set victory over Maegan Manasse.
"I am very proud of our volunteers that made the Tournament of the Year award possible," Tournament Director Jack Ditty said. "Everyone who participated, sponsored, competed, volunteered and promoted our tournament this great week in Ashland deserves our thanks for a job well done."

Chausson / Clementz adds another win to their lists.
The mountain threw everything it had at racers and organizers during the sixth round of the Enduro World Series, held in the French Alps at Val d''Isere this weekend, including snow, an apocalyptic alpine storm, rolling fog, mud and sunshine, in equal measure.
The godfather of enduro mountain bike racing, and host for this round, Tribe Events'' Fred Glo, declared it to be one of the hardest weekends ever in the ten years he has been organizing enduro in the high mountains, offering thanks to the riders for adapting to the schedule and race modifications required to redress the wild weather.
Intense performances were delivered all around, on a course that started with a hike-a-bike to Bellevarde mountain''s 2800m summit, the start gate for the Olympic and World Championship downhill ski course.
After 1 hour and 7 minutes of intense racing in constantly changing conditions, the battle was finally declared for French enduro champion Jerome Clementz (Cannondale Overmountain) (1h07:03:711), with Australia''s Jared Graves (Yeti Fox) just 11 seconds behind (1h07:15:457), after making an epic recovery in the final stage to regain ground lost from a crash in stage 3.
The third fastest time overall was logged by Belgium''s Martin Maes (GT Factory Racing) (1h07:32:617) who proved that he''s not only the dominant force in the Junior race, but can match his pace with the open field.
The Men''s podium was rounded out by France''s Fabien Barel (Canyon Factory) with a combined time of 1h07:35:437.
Clementz, Barel and Remy Absalon (Team Commencal) (who placed 8th overall) combined forces to win the Enduro of Nations for France, with a seventeen minute lead over their Italian counterparts.
The women''s race was a back-and-forth duel between the UK''s Tracy Moseley (Trek Factory Racing) and France''s Anne Caroline Chausson (Ibis) with Chausson finally taking the win by a 17 second margin after Moseley incurred a time penalty.
Third and fourth ranked riders Anneke Beerten (Specialized) and Ines Thoma (Canyon Factory) got lost in the foggy conditions and failed to finish. French racer Cecile Ravanel took third.
The women''s trio of Chausson, Ravanel and Pauline Dieffenthaler (Cannondale Overmountain) won the Enduro of Nations for France, with a combined time that put them 15 minutes ahead of their closest contenders, Team Great Britain.
After two rounds of racing in North America, the sixth race in the Enduro World Series was a world away from the sunny seaside resort of Punta Ala where this season began, and continued to prove that riders shouldn''t be looking to enduro mountain bike racing if they want a cruisy day out.
Diversity, challenge and personal reward are all up for grabs, though, as Enduro World Series Managing Director Chris Ball says: "Enduro is a wild and challenging discipline in often wild and challenging environments. It was a savagely hard race for everyone, but that makes it all the more worthwhile."
The final race in the series will take place in Finale Ligure, Italy, 19-20 October, where the first Enduro World Champion will be declared.
For a thorough recap of all the action, tune in for Dirt TV''s Official Highlights show on Tuesday.

Abstract We present MPARC (multi-priority admission and rate control), a novel joint admission control and rate policing protocol for multi-priority ad hoc networks. MPARC is based on our novel bandwidth allocation model and guarantees that the throughput of admitted realtime flows will not decrease due to later arriving realtime flows with equal or lower priorities or due to best effort flows. MPARC achieves this goal by performing accurate admission control on every newly arriving realtime flow and appropriate rate policing on all best effort traffic. Through simulation, we demonstrate that MPARC has better performance than existing approaches.

Translated from the German by Mary J. Safford
BOOK 1.
CHAPTER I.
The sun sometimes shone brightly upon the little round panes of the ancient building, the Golden Cross, on the northern side of the square, which the people of Ratisbon call "on the moor"; sometimes it was veiled by gray clouds. A party of nobles, ecclesiastics, and knights belonging to the Emperor's train were just coming out. The spring breeze banged behind them the door of the little entrance for pedestrians close beside the large main gateway.
The courtiers and ladies who were in the chapel at the right of the corridor started. "April weather!" growled the corporal of the Imperial Halberdiers to the comrade with whom he was keeping; guard at the foot of the staircase leading to the apartments of Charles V, in the second story of the huge old house.
"St. Peter's day," replied the other, a Catalonian. "At my home fresh strawberries are now growing in the open air and roses are blooming in the gardens. Take it all in all, it's better to be dead in Barcelona than alive in this accursed land of heretics!"
"Come, come," replied the other, "life is life! 'A live dog is better than a dead king,' says a proverb in my country."
"And it is right, too," replied the Spaniard. "But ever since we came here our master's face looks as if imperial life didn't taste exactly like mulled wine, either."
The Netherlander lowered his halberd and answered his companion's words first with a heavy sigh, and then with the remark: "Bad weather upstairs as well as down the very worst! I've been in the service thirteen years, but I never saw him like this, not even after the defeat in Algiers. That means we must keep a good lookout. Present halberds! Some one is coming down."
Both quickly assumed a more erect attitude, but the Spaniard whispered to his comrade: "It isn't he. His step hasn't sounded like that since the gout "
"Quijada!" whispered the Netherlander, and both he and the man from Barcelona presented halberds with true military bearing; but the staves of their descending weapons soon struck the flags of the pavement again, for a woman's voice had detained the man whom the soldiers intended to salute, and in his place two slender lads rushed down the steps.
The yellow velvet garments, with ash gray facings, and cap of the same material in the same colours, were very becoming to these youths the Emperor's pages and, though the first two were sons of German and Italian counts, and the third who followed them was a Holland baron, the sentinels took little more notice of them than of Queen Mary's pointers following swiftly at their heels.
"Of those up there," observed the halberdier from Haarlem under his breath, "a man would most willingly stiffen his back for Quijada."
"Except their Majesties, of course," added the Catalonian with dignity.
"Of course," the other repeated. "Besides, the Emperor Charles himself bestows every honour on Don Luis. I was in Algiers at the time. A hundred more like him would have made matters different, I can tell you. If it beseemed an insignificant fellow like me, I should like to ask why his Majesty took him from the army and placed him among the courtiers."
Here he stopped abruptly, for, in spite of the gaily dressed nobles and ladies, priests, knights, and attendants who were passing up and down the corridor, he had heard footsteps on the stairs which must be those of men in high position. He was not mistaken one was no less a personage than the younger Granvelle, the Bishop of Arras, who, notwithstanding his nine and twenty years, was already the favourite counsellor of Charles V; the other, a man considerably his senior, Dr. Mathys, of Bruges, the Emperor's physician.
The bishop was followed by a secretary clad in black, with a portfolio under his arm; the leech, by an elderly assistant.
The fine features of the Bishop of Arras, which revealed a nature capable of laughter and enjoyment, now looked as grave as his companion's a fact which by no means escaped the notice of the courtiers in the corridor, but no one ventured to approach them with a question, although it had begun to rain again they stopped before going out of doors and stood talking together in low tones...

American football is a game like no other. It is a true gladiator sport where men must blend the precise skill of a one-handed grabwith the vicious brawn of an open-field tackle. Football is full of tactics, be it on offense, defense or special teams. There is a reason the sport has more coaches than any other; the entire game involves exploiting even the smallest weaknesses in any of the dozens of phases that might make up the opponent's game plan. This seems like the kind of activity that could teach you a lot of valuable lessons, right?
It is true. Playing football can be an incredible tool for teaching a person how to get knocked down and get back up again, how to properly prepare for something important, how to work effectively with others and how to deal with pressure and adversity. These are all reasons that parents have long placed their children in youth football, trusting that the sport will instill in them core values that they will carry into the rest of their lives.
It turns out, the children are not the only ones getting something out of youth football — their parentsare as well. The mothers and fathers who sit in the bleachers watching their kids battle it out on the gridiron are also learning tremendous values that will make them better parents and better people in general. Here are three of the best lessons parents can take from youth football.
Oftentimes, parents try to create an environment where their children can avoid failure. You just end up loving them so much that you do not want them to experience adversity, at least not under your watch. Youth football forces parents to let go a little bit, as this is a playing field where the child will have to deal with adversity on his own.
There are few sports, if any, that are as humbling as football. No matter what position you play, you will get knocked down at some point. This is the moment when a child is faced with the choice of allowing the tough times to beat him or rising up and trying to be better the next time. This is an excellent skill for a child to learn, and youth football is a great place for parents to allow them to do so. It will not always be easy. It's hard to witness your child struggling, especially knowing that the outcome is out of your hands. Nevertheless, it is a good parenting trait to know when to allow your child to face obstacles on his own, something that youth football is tremendous practice for.
While allowing your young football star to deal with his ups and downs on the field can be productive for both of you, what you do after the gameends is also important. This is the time when a downtrodden child can use a boost if he had a bad game.
Children are not always prepared to deal with failure. While it is a little easier while they are on the field where there is less time to think about things after the game is when they have more time to mull things over. If he had a bad game, it is unlikely he will be able to simply put it behind him and start thinking about the next game. He will dwell on it, and it can adversely affect his self-esteem. Youth football teaches a parent when and how to give his or her son a small little pep talk to bring him out of his funk.
These little pep talks that parents learn to give as a result of youth football do a lot more than cheering a child up. They also go a long way toward helping him learn that it is just a game — meaning there is no reason to let small failures bring him down. Perspective can be difficult for a child to grasp, but youth football teaches parents to effectively break this concept down.
To children, a crushing loss or a bad personal performance on the gridiron can seem like a Greek tragedy. Their entire world is the game at that moment, meaning it is a crushing blow when things do not turn out as they had hoped. Now is the time for a parent to seize the opportunity to teach his or her child a little bit about perspective. Regardless of who wins and who loses, playing sports is about having fun. Sure, winning and losing matter, but at every sport's core is the concept of enjoyment, and it should not be ruined due to one bad game. A good parent can show the child that he is still healthy, his parents still love him and he still has a great life, even after a tough day. Youth football affords this valuable teaching opportunity for all parents.
Youth football is valuable for all parties involved. The players, the coaches and the parents all learn something. If you have a child and you are looking to put him into a productive program, look no further than your local youth football field.
Parents are incredibly important in youth football. They are in charge of buying the necessary gear like football glovesand mouth guards, transporting their child to and from games and practices, and cheering him and his team on during games.
While this may seem a bit chaotic, youth football can make parents better at raising their kids. There are plenty of opportunities for good parenting, making this a worthwhile activity. If your child has shown any inclination towards the most popular sport in the United States, do not hesitate to enroll him in a local league. You will find that there are long-lasting benefits for the both of you, not to mention the fact that he will likely have a great time doing it.


Looking At The Coopersville Post Office.
This post of Coopersville Post Office was uploaded on October 26, 2018 at 5:36 am. It is published on the Office category. Coopersville Post Office is tagged with Coopersville Post Office, Coopersville, Post, Office..
Drapes are among the significant components in a space. Coopersville Post Office ready to block the sunshine is too vivid about the outside and to the other-hand can be able to include area of the bedroom whilst not obvious from the external. Until there's barely a space that had a screen without the drapes so great blackout purpose.
Drapes than useful when it comes to function, can also be handled being an element of design that may enhance the room. These things might be combined with the room's design together with kinds and models of windows to help you to return together and provide a different room decoration.
To make a unified mixture of design of the space through the choice of suitable drapes, we should be observant while in the mixture and match of hues, styles, in addition to the curtain components together with the idea of house as well as the size and shape of the screen itself. Not only this, the election blackout must also be adapted to paint the surfaces the comparison is not it along with as if the curtains possess a shade that is not in harmony with the colour of the wall coloring, the end result will appear unusual?


The content of this letter describes what was an open secret to anti-lynching activists in the early 1900s, that is, despite the tendency of critics to describe lynching as "lawless" and the circulation of definitions that insisted on the practice's "illegality", lynching was in fact deeply embedded in the legal order. As the letter-writer indicates, it was not just that the legal system tolerated lynching or 'looked the other way.' The problem of lynching was that "the Officers of the Law is a Part of the Mob." Although the mob in question might be "lawless," its lawlessness was imbued with the force and authority of law because police officers, judges, sheriffs, and deputies were active as participants and bystanders to the violence. It was not its illegality, but precisely its legality that gave lynching its apparently omnipotent power.
By far the most common pattern of law enforcement participation in lynching involved the custodial transfer of victims from police or jail into the hands of lynchers. Of the 130+ incidents I have studied in detail so far, more than 100 cases involved the removal of a prisoner from police custody or jail. In most cases, the officers involved claimed that the custodial transfer was accomplished against their will or without their knowledge. However, the ability of these persons to access prisoners kept under lock and key demands some explanation beyond that typically provided by officers implicated in the incident. Since official investigations of lynching were exceedingly rare, in most cases historians can only speculate as to the veracity of police officer's claims. Occasionally there is some evidence supporting the officer's claim of resistance, as in cases where there is a verifiable paper trail documenting a request for help from nearby counties or from the governor. More often than not, however, police officers claimed to have been overpowered by mobs without offering, or being asked for, any evidence to support this version of events.
Two other patterns are also present: spectacle lynchings and killings by posses. The majority of lynching photos and postcards document spectacle lynchings – incidents in which a lynching was publicly organized, occurred during the day or early evening, and were attended by hundreds or even thousands of spectators. These incidents almost always included significant official collusion, with police officers and elected officials either participating directly or intentionally failing to prevent the lynching.
Killings by posses are frequently misinterpreted as "mob violence," when in fact a "posse" refers to a group of civilians that has been deputized by a sheriff or military commander. In some cases, posse members were even provided with firearms and transportation. Although they are not professional law enforcement officers, I categorize killings by posses as state-perpetrated lynchings, because the civilians involved in these incidents were legally authorized to track and arrest alleged suspects, outfitted by the state, and generally protected in the aftermath when a lynching occurred.
Since ~2012, I have been searching historical records and newspapers, and collecting documentation of state-perpetrated lynchings. Below are the results of my research so far – the process of digitizing is slow, so please bear with me as I work to build this site.
If you have information related to one of the incidents listed below, or if you have knowledge of a state-perpetrated lynching that does not appear here, I am eager to hear from you.
Lynchers were rarely prosecuted, and the few prosecutions that did occur rarely led to convictions. The most successful prosecutions generally came from the non-representative portion of lynching incidents that did not involve police officers. Prosecutions were also more likely to succeed when the victim of lynching was white.
In some cases, police officers, mayors, judges, and other officials did try to prevent lynchings. The Association of Southern Women for the Prevention of Lynching (ASWPL) was among several organizations that felt these officers should be honored, as part of the larger publicity campaign against lynching. The NAACP and other groups sometimes sent commendations to officers who were reported to have vigorously resisted lynchings. The attention given to law enforcement's role in preventing lynching also underscores their more typical role, of participating in or acquiescing to lynching.


How does one know the right stock to invest in and that too at the right price which will ensure strong returns in the long term? This will be a question that will be the uppermost in the minds of most investors wanting to allocate part of their funds towards stocks. Especially in light of the heightened volatility in the markets in the past.
The global financial crisis reared its ugly head and sent global economic growth and world stock markets including India into a tailspin. Suddenly there was nervousness all around. Forget bad stocks with bad fundamentals, retail investors in India were loathe to put in their money even in good companies available at attractive prices fearing that prices will fall down further. Then 2013 dawned, signs of recovery began to be noticeable and stock markets surged once again. And with stable government in place, major indices Sensex and Nifty made all time highs and gave hefty returns of more than 30% in the year 2014. Stock market started new year 2015 with a Bang! Now, when Nifty is above 8000 and Sensex above 27,500 level, those who missed out on the current rally are now waiting for the next round of correction to start putting their money to work again.

No need for surgery. Once again, I say thank you, Marianne.
Marianne, I would like to say a very big Thank You for all you have done for me. I am so grateful that I have found you. On the 23rd January this year my life started to change forever.
After suffering Irritable Bowel Syndrome for over 25 years, and sinus problems from my early childhood, I have finally found a cure through your wisdom and advice. With the changes to my diet and getting my body back on track, it has been a miracle. 12 months ago I was diagnosed with Barrett's Syndrome, which is pre cancerous cells in my stomach.
3 weeks ago I had another endoscopy and when I got the results back the Barrett's was gone. I have also been under an ENT specialist for many years. In August last year I was diagnosed with polyps in my left and right sinus. The Specialist was talking about another operation, which would have been my 3rd operation. I visited the doctor 3 weeks ago and the polyp in my left sinus was gone and the 2 on the right had shrunk and are now very tiny. No need for surgery. Once again, I say thank you, Marianne.

Rights Group Challenges Kwara Governor Over Refusal Of State Assembly To Pass FoI Bill For Assent
Elites Network for Sustainable Development, a Kwara-based civil society organisation, has questioned the silence of the Kwara State governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, over the refusal of the State's House of Assembly to go the Freedom of Information invoice to the governor for assent.
Coordinator of ENetSuD, Dr Abdullateef Alagbonsi, raised the priority over the silence of the governor throughout a Zoom assembly with some CSOs within the state.
The governor had in July 2019 returned the invoice to the Assembly after making an modification to it.
The governor requested that the invoice be amended from seven days to 14 days, whereas the N100,000 is elevated to N500,000.
While commending the enter of the governor, the group held that for the reason that Assembly obtained it, nothing had been heard of the invoice.
Alagbonsi stated, "Suggesting a stiffer punishment for anybody who destroys paperwork or suggesting a rise in time to allow ministries, departments and businesses to conform are indicators that you really want the FOI to have some degree of strengths to advertise transparency and accountability. The first and second paragraphs of your letter made us comfortable.
"It continues to be worrisome, Your Excellency Sir, that having written the House of Assembly, the letter was learn on the 23rd of July, 2019 on the plenary of the House by the Rt. Hon. Speaker, however it's nonetheless one thing that's stunning that once we depend from July 23rd to this point, that's about 11 months.
"It is worrisome that your request to the House for minor modification of simply N100,000 to N500,000, and 7 days to 14 days has taken virtually a yr and the House has not carried out something on the invoice.
"We are nonetheless shocked that His Excellency has not deemed it match to write down a reminder to the House of Assembly on why the modification has not been carried out."
The group urged the governor to write down the state Assembly and direct them to go the invoice, including that if handed, it will assist in monitoring authorities's spending and tasks.
"We imagine that with what we've got carried out with monitoring of Federal Government funds, we must always be capable of monitor how the general public fund is spent in Kwara State and the native governments.
"So, my concern is just on the Freedom of Information bill, urging Your Excellency to fast-track process on the amendment of the bill," Alagbonsi added.

DELRAN — You could barely make out the number 4 on Frankie Taylor's jersey.
The Delran junior's uniform was a perfect representation of the work he put in during the Bears' 3-0 victory over Sterling in the South Jersey Group 2 quarterfinals Thursday.
"Frankie's really helped us a lot this year," Delran coach Mike Otto said. "He's coming through for us and gives us a nice spark out on the flank. He really changes his gears and for the most part does the right thing with the ball.
Taylor played a role in the first two Delran tallies, starting with his header from the right side of the penalty area off a Ronan Loftus free kick that was tapped in by Cole Gifford at the left post.
The second goal, also scored by Gifford, created some separation between the Bears and their guests inside the Bears' Den at the start of the second half.
Taylor played his way into space on the right wing, had the ball taken away from him and then won it back on a slide tackle before sending a pass into the left side of the penalty area. Once the ball reached the opposite side of the box, Gifford received a pass from Sean McLaughlin and fired into the back of the net.
Even though Delran was in control of the score, it received a tough test from the seventh-seeded Silver Knights, who are familiar foe in South Jersey Group 2.
Chris Hunt set up Daniel Strohlein for a shot that bounced in off the top of the crossbar to finish off the victory for Delran, who now awaits perennial rival Haddonfield in the semifinals, a round before its used to seeing the Bulldawgs.

Previous (Origin of life)
Next (Orinoco River)
The Fall of Man by Henrik Goltzius, 1616
Original sin is a Christian doctrine describing the first human act of disobedience, as well as the ongoing fallen state of humanity bound in enduring, irremediable alienation from God. Christian tradition regards original sin as the general lack of holiness into which human beings are born, distinct from any actual sins that a person may commit later.
Used with the definite article ("the original sin"), the term refers to the first sin, committed when Adam and Eve succumbed to the serpent's temptation, commonly known as "the Fall." This first sin is traditionally understood to be the cause of "original sin." While Christians derive the idea of original sin in part from the Old Testament, the doctrine is rejected in Jewish theology.
The New Testament basis for the concept of original sin is found particularly in the writings of Saint Paul, who held that Christ came as a "new Adam" to redeem humankind from sin. However, it was not firmly established in Christian tradition until the Pelagian controversy of the fifth century. The Western Christian tradition concerning original sin, both Catholic and Protestant, is largely based on writings by Augustine of Hippo. Eastern Orthodox tradition does not go as far as Augustine did in terms of the damage that the first sin did to human nature.
Augustine's formulation of original sin was accepted by Protestant reformers such as Martin Luther and John Calvin and thus passed into most mainline Protestant churches. However, the doctrine has been reinterpreted or denied by various modern Christian and contemporary denominations.

Islam accepts the fact that the first human couple disobeyed God in paradise, but, like Judaism, denies the doctrine of original sin. Adam is seen as the first prophet, having repented of his sin in paradise and thereafter living a sinless life of submission to Allah.
Account in Genesis
Michelangelo's painting of the sin of Adam and Eve (the Fall)
The account in Genesis 2-3 implies that Adam and Eve initially lived in a state of intimate communion with God. The narrative reads that God "made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" (Gen. 2:9). God forbade Adam to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, warning him that he would die if he did (Gen. 2:16-17). The serpent persuaded Eve to eat from the forbidden fruit and she also "gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it" (Gen. 3:6).
After eating the fruit, Adam and Eve became aware of their nakedness (Gen. 3:7). God bestowed a curse on each of the participants: the serpent must eat dust and there will be enmity between its offspring and those of the woman (Gen. 3:14-15). The woman will experience pain in giving birth and will be dominated by her husband (Gen. 3:16). The man, rather than living in a paradise of abundant fruit trees, must struggle for his sustenance (Gen. 3:17-19). In addition, Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden, so that they may not eat of the tree of life and live forever (Gen. 3:22-24).

Pauline doctrine
In Christian tradition, the doctrine of original sin is often traced to the Apostle Paul's description of human sinfulness, especially in the Epistle to the Romans, as a universal condition inherited from Adam.
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus (Romans 2:23-24).
For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous (Romans 5:19).
I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out… For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? (Romans 7:18-24)
Augstine's teaching
The idea of original sin came into sharper focus during the Pelagian controversy of the fifth century, with Augustine of Hippo taking the lead in promoting the idea that humans, because of original sin, were incapable of improving themselves spiritually without God's intervening grace. For Pelagius, grace consisted mainly in the gifts free will, moral law, and the Gospel. He insisted, as the Jews did, that Adam's sin did not affect human nature, and taught that humans can overcome sin through their own moral efforts by following Jesus' example.
Augustine countered by affirming the powerful reality of original sin, arguing that the entire human race partakes of Adam's sin, which is passed on generation to generation through the act of sexual intercourse. Because of the inherited corruption of Adam' sin, human free will is damaged and enslaved to concupiscence, making God's special, intervening grace absolutely necessary for salvation.
During the controversy, one pope, Innocent I, decided that Pelagius' teaching was acceptable. However, the group of churchmen of which Augustine was the primary spokesman ultimately prevailed, and Pelgianism was condemned as heresy. The Augustinian view, while never officially adopted by an ecumenical council, came to predominate in the Latin (Roman Catholic) church. In the East, Pelagianism was rejected, but Augustine, who wrote in Latin rather than Greek, was not as influential as he was in the West.
Catholic doctrine
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states:
By his sin Adam, as the first man, lost the original holiness and justice he had received from God, not only for himself but for all human beings. Adam and Eve transmitted to their descendants human nature wounded by their own first sin and hence deprived of original holiness and justice; this deprivation is called "original sin." As a result of original sin, human nature is weakened in its powers, subject to ignorance, suffering and the domination of death, and inclined to sin (this inclination is called "concupiscence").[1]
The Catholic Church further holds that even infant children are guilty of the original sin. Since baptism is "for the remission of sins," and because infants have traditionally been baptized, the only sin of which they need to be cleansed is original sin.
The Catholic doctrine of the Immaculate Conception of Mary holds that Mary was conceived free from original sin. Moreover, through Mary, Jesus, too, was conceived both without original sin and even without sexual intercourse, which, according to Augustine, was the means by which the original sin is transmitted from generation to generation.
Original sin in Eastern Christianity
Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy and Eastern Catholicism, which together make up Eastern Christianity, acknowledge that Adam and Eve's sin introduced ancestral sin into the human race and affected the subsequent spiritual environment for mankind. However, these groups did not accept Augustine of Hippo's notion of original sin and the hereditary guilt attached to it. Thus, the act of Adam is not the responsibility of all humanity, even though the consequences of that act changed the spiritual and physical reality of this present age of the cosmos. Nevertheless, Orthodoxy does admit that Adam's descendants were punished with death and the curses given by God in the Garden of Eden as a result of the first sin.
The Eastern view may thus be said to be somewhat less pessimistic than the Augustinian doctrine. Saint Gregory Palamas taught that man's image is "tarnished and disfigured" as a consequence of Adam's disobedience, but stopped short of the "total depravity" of the Augustinian view. Whereas Augustine stressed that free will cannot influence salvation, which is determined only by God's grace, the Eastern view allows for the possibility of that humans can be divinized through a combination of God's grace and human efforts.
Original sin in Protestantism
Although Martin Luther held the view that scripture alone should be the basis of Christian doctrine, the second article in Lutheranism's Augsburg Confession, much like the Catholic tradition, accepted the basic Augustinian formula of original sin:
Since the fall of Adam all men who are born according to the course of nature are conceived and born in sin. That is, all men are full of evil lust and inclinations from their mothers' wombs and are unable by nature to have true fear of God and true faith in God. Moreover, this inborn sickness and hereditary sin is truly sin and condemns to the eternal wrath of God all those who are not born again through Baptism and the Holy Spirit.[2]
Luther and Calvin agreed that humans inherit Adamic guilt and are in a state of sin from the moment of conception. Man is thus completely depraved, and only God's grace, through faith in Christ, can save him. Later, the Methodist Church, tended to see a greater role for human free will in the process of salvation and spiritual growth, but nevertheless upheld the idea that: "Original sin standeth not in the [mere] following of Adam (as the Pelagians do vainly talk), but it is the corruption of the nature of every man, that naturally is engendered of the offspring of Adam, whereby man is very far gone from original righteousness…."[3]
The Radical Reformation, including Anabaptists and Baptists, adopted a less strict notion of original sin in rejecting the tradition of infant baptism. By insisting on the principle of believer's baptism, the radical reformers tended to imply that God would not doom young children to Hell. Thus, humans were not necessarily so depraved as to merit damnation from birth, a very different view from Augustine's.
Several Restoration Movement churches of the Second Great Awakening not only rejected infant baptism but overtly denied the notion of original sin, believing that men and women are personally responsible only for the sins that they themselves commit. However, many Restoration churches and their members do believe that Adam's sin resulted in a depraved human nature—that is, in a tendency to sin—even though individuals are not guilty of Adam's sin.
Other Christian-based traditions
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also known as the LDS Church and the "Mormons") admits that the actions of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden brought about spiritual and physical death. However, the LDS church rejects the concept of original sin, insisting that people will be punished only for their own individual sins and not for any transgression of Adam or Eve. Neither do Mormons believe that children are conceived in sin or come into the world with any kind of fallen nature. Rather, Christ already atoned for any "original guilt," not only for Christians but for all mankind.
The Unification Church of the Reverend Sun Myung Moon teaches that original sin is a reality. Reverend Moon's Divine Principle holds that original sin resulted from a premature sexual union between Adam and Eve, symbolized by their eating of the forbidden fruit. Unificationists believe that original sin is forgiven through the church's marriage blessing ceremony, resulting in children born free from the original sin.
The Unity Church holds that original sin is a false doctrine, emphasizing instead those scriptures which uphold the fundamental goodness of humankind. For example, in Genesis 1, God created everything in God's image and called it "good," and Jesus says humans are the "light of the world" capable of perfection (Matthew 5).
Some churches have no definite teaching regarding the question of original sin, resulting in most members not holding the doctrine. Among them are the Unitarians and the Quakers.
Original sin in the other Abrahamic religions
Historically, Judaism has taught that the first sin did not alter human nature. Rather, the tendency to evil, known as the yetzer harah was present in Adam and Eve from the beginning, otherwise they could not have disobeyed God in the first place. God gives human beings laws and commandments to help them overcome the tendency to evil. Each person is thus entirely responsible for his or her own sin rather than having inherited the original sin from our ancestors.
The idea that God is "a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me" (Exodus 20:5), while implying a concept of inherited sin, did not constitute a doctrine of original sin. Moreover, it was balanced by Deuterononic legal tradition (Deut. 24:16) and the teaching of Ezekiel that "The son will not share the guilt of the father, nor will the father share the guilt of the son" (Ezek. 18:20). Although some of the Psalms and other Jewish writings were interpreted by Christian writers as implying the doctrine of original sin, rabbinical tradition rejected this notion, affirming that the yetzer harah was part of the original human nature and that God had given humans adequate guidance to overcome the tendency to evil.
Islam teaches that all humans are innocent by birth and they become sinful only when they consciously commit a sin. It regards the doctrine of original sin not as the teaching of Jesus, who was a prophet and the Messiah, but of misguided Christians who misunderstood Jesus' intent and falsely made him into the divine Son of God who died to atone for universal sins of humankind.

Starbucks made news a while back when they announced they would start rolling out screens and cameras at the drive-thru so the customers and baristas could see each other. Most people shrugged off the move as a simple gag, but it makes a great difference for the deaf. St. Augustine, Florida has a large deaf community as the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind is located there, so it's simply awesome to see that the hearing impaired can now use the drive-thru by ordering in American Sign Language!

Morning Note: Spain
Spain: An Unnecessary Problem
The FT reports that the clowns at the ECB have rejected Spain's bank recapitalisation plan (the one I mentioned, with approval, yesterday). Apparently it would breach the prohibition on "monetary financing". Note to ECB: intelligent central bankers relax the rules in a crisis.
If this was plan A, then Spain appears to be moving to plan A': borrow the EUR 19bn (probably EUR 14bn, since there is about EUR 5bn in the country's bank bailout fund) and use the cash to recapitalise the banks.
Will Spain be able to borrow enough to do this? It should be able to — from its banks. Even if these banks cannot obtain funding — and Bankia, for one, will probably not be able to — the ECB is still offering one-year LTRO's with full allotment, which means that banks can borrow as much as they want for a year. The plan would work like this. The banking system borrows from the ECB; it buys a new government bond using the borrowed money; then the government injects the money into the banking system. The upshot of all this, after you have worked out how everybody's balance sheet changes in each step and added up the changes, is:
Assets: +loan
Liabilities: +reserves
Assets: +bond +reserves
Liabilities: +equity +loan
Assets: +equity
Liabilities: +bond
As long as Spain's banks consider the government to be solvent, there should be no limit to the government bonds they will buy. The problem with this, of course, is that the ECB is only offering one-year LTRO's. The banks may be unwilling to take on the financing risk of buying longer-dated government bonds than this — so the Spanish government may have to recapitalise its banks by borrowing short (this problem could be reduced with another 3-year LTRO, but that seems to be off the table). This might not be entirely a bad thing, of course: the main worry about Spain is its banks; if the banks were recapitalised, then its borrowing rates should be lower in a year's time; and thus it would be good to be able to refinance.
It is possible that I have the wrong model here: perhaps there is some other limitation on Spanish banks' willingness to buy government bonds (although that has not been evident so far). In that case, we move towards plan B: use of the ESM. Will Germany be prepared to move on the question of direct bank recapitalisation (call this B1)? I do not know — it is an obvious thing to do, but the alternative (direct lending to Spain — B2) would not provoke a collapse, and would give the EU more control over Spain's future fiscal policy. The Germans have been reluctant to move from their entrenched positions unless absolutely necessary. If Germany will not move, then Spain will have to come under an ESM programme.
What will that mean, in practice? In other countries, coming under an EU programme has meant that they have been cut off from the bond markets. The Spanish case is different, however, because Spain is (probably) fundamentally solvent. My relative lack of concern about Spain rests on this premise. If Spain is fundamentally solvent and has resolved its problems with the banks, then it ought to have access to the bond market (in the form, mainly, of its own banks). So I do not see a programme for Spain as necessarily meaning it could not continue to borrow in other ways. The market ought to see the ESM assistance for what it is: lending for the specific purpose of bank recapitalisation.
This brings me back to my original view: the Spanish situation is manageable. If plan A' will not work, then plan B1 or B2 should work as well.
One thing that comes out of this analysis is a reminder of a point I have been making for some time: the euro crisis can only get as bad as the ECB allows it to get. For the time being, it is allowing it to get worse — probably because it is concerned about politicians rowing back from their fiscal commitments and would prefer it if Spain had to tap the ESM so that the EU could exert more control over the country. I still believe, however, that it will, in extremis, act to prevent collapse.

Love Roma's Toyoda, Blame's Nihei to Launch New Manga
posted on 2008-12-24 11:43 EST by Egan Loo
Toyoda's Tomodachi 100-nin Dekiru kana next month; Nihei's Sidonia in April
The February issue of Kodansha 's Afternoon magazine has announced on Wednesday that Minoru Toyoda ( Love Roma , Flip-Flap ) will launch the Tomodachi 100-nin Dekiru kana (I Wonder If I Can Make 100 Friends, pictured at far right) manga in the next issue on January 24. The science fiction story centers on a grade school teacher who stumbles into an alternate world on the day his wife-to-be would be born. According to the magazine's advertising blurb, "the fate of humanity rests on an important vow." Del Rey published the fifth and last volume of Toyoda's Love Roma manga in North America in February 2007.
Yuki Tanaka ( Jinja no Susume ) will return to the magazine in the same issue with Imouto Days (Sister Days, pictured in the left half of the included image). In this slice-of-life story, a man has to deal with living with his sister-in-law, a ten-year-old girl named Diana.
Tsutomu Nihei will then launch his Sidonia no Kishi ( Knights of Sidonia ) manga in Afternoon 's June issue, which will ship in April. The manga is described as a space story with giant robots. Nihei is drawng his Biomega science-fiction manga in Shueisha 's Ultra Jump magazine, but that manga is scheduled to end next year after six volumes. Tokyopop just finished publishing Nihei's 10-volume Blame! manga in North America last month, while Media Blasters released the net anime adaptation of Blame! in 2005. The Micott and Basara production company ( Appleseed films) announced plans for a computer-animated film version of Blame! at the Tokyo International Anime Fair in 2007.

Gigaom, a pioneer tech blog site shuts down due to monetary issues
A pioneer tech journalism site, Gigaom shuts down on Monday evening as it was running out of money.
Gigaom, a site which provided latest information related to technology was founded by Om Malik in the year 2006. However, Monday evening around 5.57 PM the site was shut down by the management after posting a message which read : "Gigaom recently became unable to pay its creditors in full at this time. As a result, the company is working with its creditors that have rights to all of the company's assets as their collateral. All operations have ceased. We do not know at this time what the lenders intend to do with the assets or if there will be any future operations using those assets. The company does not currently intend to file bankruptcy. We would like to take a moment and thank our readers and our community for supporting us all along." Twitter was flooded with lots of reactions from Gigaom's employees once this message was posted by Gigaom's management.
A statement made by Mallik on his personal blog post clearly indicated that there are no chances of the site being revived. The blog read :"Gigaom is winding down and its assets are now controlled by the company's lenders. It is not how you want the story of a company you founded to end." Gigaom had many great journalists and in addition it also had its event business and research team. The company relied on venture capital firms for its funding. Om Malik had left Gigaom a year ago to join True Venture as a partner; True Venture is a venture capital firm. Malik had noted that Gigaom has raised more than $8 million in new funding.
Malik wrote in a post on February 20th 2014, the time when he left Gigaom saying "In 2008, our company decided that we would not pray at the altar of page views and advertising metrics that do nothing but devalue our readers' time and attention," he also added "The company, however, has evolved well beyond a mere blog to what it is today — a group of more than 70 really smart people — thanks to the efforts of Paul Walborsky, who has been our chief executive since 2008. Together with other members of our management team, we have built a company that embodies and echoes our core founding values." Malik had then ended his post stating : "Writing, to me, is the meaning of life. My life became something special because of writing."
Monday evening the site published a lot of news related to Apple's event and much more new contents. However, eventually it has been closed which is truly a sad day for the tech media.


The consumption information for all the components in the active simulation can be exported from the meter.
In this example first the Raw Consumption information is exported. The file produced is a CSV file and by default will open with Table Analysis but the file can be opened by most spreadsheet programs or text editors.
The Cycle Consumption Rate is the amount of power that would be consumed if the device was on for one hour. The Cycle Consumption is the amount of power used for the given period. For example if a 60 watt light bulb was on for 10 minutes the Cycle Consumption Rate would be 0.06 kWh and the Cycle Consumption would be 0.018 kW.

Recipients of the Apex K2 Modular Hip Replacement System may be at risk for premature device failure within just a year of their initial implant surgery. While there is no indication that an Apex K2 hip implant recall will be announced in the U.S. in the near future, the system was voluntarily removed from the market in Australian after data indicated that the Apex K2 hip was associated with an unexpectedly high rate of early revision surgery.
Individuals who experienced premature failure of this modular hip replacement may still be able to pursue legal action, even though there has not been an Apex K2 hip recall in the U.S. The nationwide law firm of Bernstein Liebhard LLP is now evaluating hip replacement lawsuits involving this device, and our attorneys are offering free legal reviews to any Apex K2 hip implant recipient who suffered complications related to the early failure of this product. To learn more about your legal options, please contact our office today by calling (888) 994-5118.
The Apex K2 Modular Hip Replacement is marketed by OMNI, a Massachusetts-based medical device manufacturer. The system consists of a femoral stem and interchangeable necks and heads that allow a surgeon to create a custom fit for each individual patient. The Apex K2 hip was launched on the U.S. market in 2004 by Apex Surgical, which was acquired by OMNIlifescience, Inc. that same year. OMNIlifescience was rebranded as OMNI in 2014. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approved the Apex K2 hip via its 510(k) clearance program, which does not require that a device undergo human testing if it is deemed "substantially equivalent" to a product that was previously approved by the agency.
In 2012, the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) announced that it was cancelling its approval of the Apex K2 Femoral Stem due to an unexpectedly high rate of early revision surgeries. According to data collected by the Australian National Joint Replacement Registry, the cumulative revision rate for the Apex K2 Modular Hip Replacement System was 5.5% at 1 year from the time of implantation and 9.3% at 3 years. The average failure rate of comparable devices is only 1.6 % at 1 year and 2.8% at 3 years.
What Should I do If I Have an Apex K2 Hip Implant?
In 2012, the Australian TGA recommended that surgeons who implanted the Apex K2 Modular Hip Replacement System conduct annual clinical and radiological examinations on those patients and apprise them of the problems potentially associated with the device. Patients were advised to contact their doctor if they experienced pain in their hip or thigh.
It could well be in your best interest to seek the advice of an attorney if you've experienced premature failure of an Apex K2 hip. You may be entitled to financial compensation to cover medical bills and other damages, even in the absence of an Apex K2 hip recall. If you are interested in pursuing your legal rights against OMNI, please call (888) 994-5118 to contact the legal staff at Bernstein Liebhard LLP today.

Chattanooga: Futbol Capital of Tennessee?
With soccer still considered the world's most popular sport, America is catching up in the international ranks. As a result, a match-up of this magnitude with two members of Mexico's top-level professional Primera Division is very rarely seen on American soil—and a complete rarity in Chattanooga. The scheduling of an exhibition match of this size in Chattanooga is a reflection of the city's rising status as a host not only in our region, but also with events of international appeal.
With an expected sell-out crowd at the 20,668-seat Finley Stadium, the event has generated quite a bit of anticipation and support from the local community.

It was built in 1646 by Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal which is beautifully perched on a hill top overlooking the valley. After visiting the dzong, take a leisure walk along the stone pavements that will lead to the traditional cantilever bridge known by the name Nemi Zam.
Then, drive to the capital city of Bhutan, Thimphu which takes approximately one and half hour covering the distance of 55 km. Evening is the leisure time.
Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan is one of the beautiful capitals in the world that is founded on the traditional and modern blends of architectural design and further it would be interesting to learn that Thimphu is only the capital in the world without traffic signals. And more interestingly, the capital is constantly nurtured by the green vegetation coverage which remains as the evergreen city in the eyes of the travelers.
You are scheduled to visit the following places for the day in Thimphu; the Memrial Chorten, tall-structured stupa built in 1974 in memory of the third King of Bhutan, Jigme Dorji Wangchuck, who is regarded as the father of modern Bhutan and for the world peace as well. Changankha Lhakhang (temple) which situated on the top a small hound overlooking the Thimphu valley was built in the 13th century and it is considered the spiritual home of children born in the Chang valley. And visit Folk Heritage Museum, an outdoor museum that gives a clear insight into rural life in Bhutan.

Buddha Point, where largest sitting Buddha statue in the country is perched on the hillock overlooking the Thimphu valley and also if interested/if time permits, take a leisure walk through Kuenselphodrang Nature Park and enjoy the nice view of the entire Thimphu valley. Afterwards, freely enjoy your evening leisure time in town. Afterwards, freely enjoy your evening leisure time in town.

Soon after 3 hours journey you will be in Punakha, visit Chimi Lhakhang – a distinct structure perched on the hilltop was built in 15th century by the cousin of Drukpa Kuenley, which the temple is best known for the "Temple of Fertility".
Punakha Dzong – Fortress is known as Dzong in Bhutanese term, built in 1637 by Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyel which is situated between Pho chu (Male River) and Mo chu (Female River). Don't forget to visit the Dzongchung (small fort) which the architectural design for Punakha fort was drawn.
Time for some real fun real, some adventure is an essential component of travel life, so you will be rafting the slow, soft cascading Mo chu (Female river) and in the mid of enjoyment don't forget photo-shoot (note-carry a water proof material to cover the camera) the nature and its surroundings and the magnificent Punakha Dzong with its beautiful cantilever bridge.
The cultural heartland of Bhutan is blessed by Guru Padmasambhav, who made his first visit to Bhutan in Bumthang and he is credited to have introduced Buddhism in Bhutan. The scheduled visit is Tharpaling monastery founded by Longchen Rabjam in 14th century and various spiritual masters visited the place and meditated there. And a few minutes' walk to the north of Tharpaling Monastery lies a prominent Chodrak monastery, where Guru meditated. After invoking the blessings from the sites, get ready for a Tharpaling-Kilila hike which is moderate grade in its undertakings.
While in Bumthang, visit Kurjey Lhakhang, the site where Guru meditated there and had left his body imprint, thus earning the name of the temple as Kurjey (body imprint). Now is time for you to get some physical exercise, you will set onto a small hike from Kurjey Lhakhang crossing small suspension bridge to visit Padmasambhava Lhakhang located adjacent to the Tamshing lhakhang. Then, visit Tamshing Lhakhang which was built in 1501 by terton Pema Lingpa, treasure discoverer and it is one the most important renowned temple in the kingdom. The blessing received from the visiting Tamshing Lhakhang is not complete unless you visit the scared pilgrimage site, Mebar Tsho (Burning Lake). The day ends with the blessing from the holy sites. And evening is leisure time.
The cultural heartland blesses you for your rest of the journey. Drive back from Bumthang following the same route to Trongsa covering the distance of 68 km. Then, the road gradually descends down and after crossing the Pele La Pass of 3350m (approx), a diversion from the highway and then soon you will passes through beautiful Phobjikha villages.
Phobjikha valley is the home for the winter visitor, Blacked Nacked Crane; they visit in winter every year from Tibet in the month of November and leaves back in March. We will get to see one bird (Blacked Nacked Crane), who waits for his/her friends to return from Tibet. After you reach to Phubjikha you can visit one and only beautiful Nyingma monastery, Gangtey sangacholing monastery which was built in 17th century by Gyalse Pema Thinley, grandson of terton Pema Lingpa. Gangtey valley claims to be one of the most beautiful valleys in the kingdom. Evening is leisure time, relax and rejoice.
The journey to Paro will take almost a day. Evening is leisure time.
Today you will have an adventurous journey and a memory worth to cherish of a hike to Taktshang monastery. Paro Taktshang is one of the most amazing structures ever built in Bhutan. Hanging in the middle of the rocky cliff was a small temple first built by Gyalse Tenzin Rabgay in1692, which was later enlarged to the present glory despite several fire calamities. Legends surround the fact that the place was founded by Guru Padmasambhava in 8th century. It is a 2-3 hours walk uphill from the nearest motor road head and located at an altitude of 3,120 approximately meters above sea level.
