Q: Do I need to re-install grub to MBR after changing boot partition I have a Centos 6 server resided in cloud environment that I want to move the root partition from the existing harddisk to another one.
In the original harddisk(/dev/xvda1), it has other folder like /var, /usr, and I don't want to move them over, so I can't simply dd the whole old harddisk to a new one (/dev/xvdh1).
I have now rsync all the content in / (except those mentioned above) to /dev/xvdh1, and /var /usr to another harddisk (/dev/xvdg). I have modified the following file in the new harddisk to use the new UUID:

*

*/etc/fstab

*/boot/grub/grub.conf

Here is the output of blkid:
/dev/xvdh1: UUID="9b84e28c-5a12-4889-804a-753e56645333" TYPE="ext4"

line in /etc/fstab that do the / mount :
UUID="9b84e28c-5a12-4889-804a-753e56645333" /   ext4    defaults        1 1

/boot/grub/grub.conf:
default=0
timeout=1
title CentOS 6 (2.6.32-573.18.1.el6.x86_64)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-573.18.1.el6.x86_64 ro root=UUID=9b84e28c-5a12-4889-804a-753e56645333 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rd_NO_MD console=ttyS0,115200 crashkernel=auto SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16  KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us rd_NO_DM
        initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.32-573.18.1.el6.x86_64.img

I have also dd the boot sector code from /dev/xvda to /dev/xvdh1:
dd if=/dev/xvda of=/dev/xvdh bs=446 count=1

Output of both harddisk metadata:
# file -s /dev/xvda
/dev/xvda: x86 boot sector; GRand Unified Bootloader, stage1 version 0x3, boot drive 0x80, 1st sector stage2 0x8cc500, GRUB version 0.94; partition 1: ID=0x83, active, starthead 32, startsector 2048, 16775168 sectors, code offset 0x48

# file -s /dev/xvda1
/dev/xvda1: Linux rev 1.0 ext4 filesystem data (needs journal recovery) (extents) (large files) (huge files)

# file -s /dev/xvdh
/dev/xvdh: x86 boot sector; GRand Unified Bootloader, stage1 version 0x3, boot drive 0x80, 1st sector stage2 0x8cc500, GRUB version 0.94; partition 1: ID=0x83, active, starthead 32, startsector 2048, 4192256 sectors, code offset 0x48

# file -s /dev/xvdh1
/dev/xvdh1: Linux rev 1.0 ext4 filesystem data (needs journal recovery) (extents) (large files) (huge files)

When all the above steps done, I detached the old harddisk and attached the new harddisk as /dev/xvda1, then boot. However when I boot the machine I stuck at the error on grub:
Booting from Hard Disk...
Geom Error

Size of /dev/xvda1 and /dev/xvdh1 are different, and obviously their UUID is different too. So my question is: do I need to do a grub-install in order to make the modification I done on the grub.conf to goes into the boot sector code? Or there is never need to do that because the boot code is just the same and root partition info is never stored over there , where the boot code will able to read the grub.conf to get the info without extra step needed ?
Please shed some light if I need to change any other file in order to make the grub boot the server, thanks. (grub version: 0.94)

A: Yes, I believe you should run grub-install, as the location (noted below) is dependent upon the filesystem containing stage 2.
You say you copied the boot sector from the old disk (/dev/xvda) to the first partition on the new disk (/dev/xvdh1).  Doesn't the code need to go in the first sector of the new disk, not the partition?
The initial stage contains a pointer to the second stage, as you suggest, and is noted in the graphic in this answer: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/258867/216116
As well, Debian is setup to run grub-install during regular software updates, so it should be no harm with (in) your solution to execute grub-install as you please (with the proper arguments, of course).

Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith was one of few U.S. senators on Wednesday to object to the certification of the electoral votes in Arizona and Pennsylvania, states that duly elected Democrat Joe Biden as president in November over Republican President Donald Trump.
Hyde-Smith, an ardent Trump supporter, backed the effort of a small number of Senate Republicans who aimed to overturn Biden's victory by pushing disproven theories and inaccuracies about Arizona and Pennsylvania botching the election process.
The senator had remained silent before Wednesday about how she would vote on the certification of the Biden presidential victory in several states. In a statement on Wednesday night, Hyde-Smith said she heard from "many Mississippians who are troubled by the conduct of the election in various states and the eventual outcome."
"I, along with my constituents, are alarmed with the erosion of integrity of the electoral process," Hyde-Smith said in the statement. "The people I represent do not believe the presidential election was constitutional and cannot accept the electoral college decision; therefore, I cannot in good conscience support certification."
All six senators who objected to the Arizona certification and the seven who objected to Pennsylvania on Wednesday night were Republicans and loyal supporters of the current president. The other senators voted to certify the elections, with key leaders in both the Republican and Democratic parties blistering their colleagues who planned to vote against certification.
"Trump and I, we've had a hell of a journey. All I can say is count me out, enough is enough," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina Republican. "When it's over, it is over. It's over."
Republican Roger Wicker, Mississippi's senior U.S. senator, voted to certify all 50 state results.
"(The Trump) campaign lost a close election, and it is time to acknowledge that," Wicker said in a statement earlier this week. "The president's own attorney general, his head of election security, and a number of Trump-appointed, conservative federal judges all have found that, despite widespread allegations of fraud, there simply was not enough evidence to change the outcome of the election in any state."
Wicker continued: "I know many of my fellow Mississippians will disagree with my decision, and I share their commitment to making sure our elections are fair. But I must vote according to my conscience, my oath of office, and my understanding of the rule of law. I hope that with the start of a new Congress, we can take steps to restore faith in America's electoral system."
Congress met in joint session on Wednesday to certify the electoral votes from the states. Biden, a Democrat, received 306 of the 538 elector votes from the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Though the certification of the electoral votes from the states is normally a formality, the law allows Congress to reject them and theoretically select the new president.
Republicans did not have nearly enough votes in the House or Senate to reject the Biden election, and constitutional scholars questioned whether Congress could overturn the results in the first place.
A group of House and Senate Republicans — ardent supporters of Trump, who has for weeks pushed disproven theories about widespread election fraud — indicated last week they would challenge those electoral votes from certain states Biden won.
But the proceedings were abruptly halted on Wednesday afternoon when a violent mob of pro-Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol, aiming to overturn the results of the election.

The pro-Trump rioters — incited earlier Wednesday morning by the president's oldest son and other close allies of the president — assaulted Capitol Police officers, smashed windows and tore down security barricades on their way into the building, prompting officials to lock down both legislative chambers of the building and nearby congressional office buildings.
The moment marked the first time that the Capitol was breached by a large, violent group since the War of 1812. Several high-profile members of Congress were evacuated, and others were told to shelter in place during the hours-long lockdown.
By the time police cleared the Capitol and lawmakers returned to finish the certification process on Wednesday evening, several of the Republicans in both the House and Senate who had earlier planned to object to elector certification reversed their positions.
Many Republicans even called Trump out specifically for inciting the violence.
"The events that have transpired today have forced me to reconsider, and I cannot now in good conscience object to the certification of these electors," said Sen. Kelly Leoffler, a Republican from Georgia who'd previously planned to object. "The violence, the lawlessness… stand as a direct attack on the very institution my objection was intended to protect."
Many pundits believe Trump singlehandedly saved Hyde-Smith's Senate candidacy in the 2018 special election after she said she would sit "on the front row of a public hanging" with a supporter. Trump hosted three Mississippi rallies for Hyde-Smith in 2018, when she narrowly won a special election to replace longtime Sen. Thad Cochran, who stepped down for health reasons.

It lags behind in terms of saying its merchandise too. Most of the gentle and convertible fashions HP and Dell introduced earlier this yr are simply starting to turn out to be out there. Whereas Lenovo oddly hasn't up to date its ThinkPad P40 Yoga convertible because it debuted in 2015, it is lastly providing an ultraportable: the ThinkPad P1.
The ThinkPad P1 is slated to ship within the US by the top of August, beginning at $1,950. We do not know delivery or availability elsewhere, however the US beginning worth straight converts to about £1,530 and AU$2,660.
Regardless of the choice for a 400-nit contact 4K Extremely HD show with 100 p.c Adobe RGB gamut protection, the 15-inch ThinkPad P1 targets CAD/CAM/CAE greater than the (legendary) "proper mind" design professions.

And it seems the half, with the staid, fundamental black ThinkPad aesthetic.
Lenovo additionally gave its workhorse 17-inch P71 a bunch of element bumps for the ThinkPad P72: eighth-generation Intel Core and Xeon processors, Nvidia Quadro P5200, as much as 128GB reminiscence, as much as 6TB storage with as much as 16GB Intel Optane acceleration storage.

Africans! Sorry for Aids and Ebola
By Micro-Surgeon and Scientist Johan Van Dongen
In America and Europe, educated white people with elitist attitude, have a blind eye to the real needs of Africans. The domination and manipulation of black people by the so-called elites have devastated effects on the African continent beyond remedy.
Soldiers, scientists and politicians occupying high positions in Europe and America, must now realize within the second millennium, the destruction and aggression which took place in the last two hundred years in Africa, leaving the continent handicap with poverty and diseases.
I am a scientist and since I didn't take part in this horrible crime against mankind, I am free to say that Africa is used as a dumping ground for unwanted drugs, for testing of drugs and for exposing people to bio-warfare products. The deliveries of war materials to the wrong regimes have adversely affected the continent as well.
Actually, it seems that Africa is not part of this world because the people have been seriously abused and degraded as if they are not human beings with brain walking around on the continent. Yet Africans are same products of Quantum Physics and Quantum Mechanics realized as whites.
So what is the reason white rulers treat blacks unfairly? Many Europeans and Americans do not realize that there is a black American president. In this way, are we not aware that an educated black can also occupy a top position throughout the world? Of course, we do, but to what extent nowadays if we look over the African continent?
For four decades; I did investigations / research to reveal that Aids, Ebola, and many other deadly diseases were medical crimes against Africa. I can't follow their evil deeds, so I'm the enemy today. But that's not what bothers me, because the evil one sows, the same he shall reap. In order to scrape everything together to provide some counterweight to the destructive way in which Africans have suffered at the hands of whites, I can say that I am ashamed. Yes, I can also say that I can understand the suffering of Africans.
Every word of a white mouth seems as empty as the promises that he gives to the people on the continent of Africa. It is always easy for Europe and America to manipulate Africa, because of the corrupt regimes. Since Africa is the leading continent in corruption, Europe and America support and pay bribes to the corrupt African leaders to remain in power. The corrupt African leaders like that, so how do you expect them to accuse Europe and America of medical crimes against the continent?
The only thing that really holds water as described, is that Africans are intelligent enough to manage their own lives and not necessary to depend on the West and America to meddle in Africa's politics. Africans themselves are in a position to lift up the African continent in the course of humanity to the top of the dams, but massive corruption dominates the leaders mind than the welfare of the poor and helpless Africans.
The so called educated white folk would have to learn, study and to listen to the voice of Africans. And if a black writer asks himself : "Why black folks were abused and degraded by other races," there must be an answer, they shouldn't hide from that question. The bell should ring in your minds.
Most striking to me is the absence of African-Americans and wealthy Africans in the diaspora. Not a single one is reaching his hand towards Africa, Africans, your descendants or us, to help reveal the truth about those man-made origins of Aids and Ebola. The Africans in the Diaspora now looked like whites and act like whites. They are not real Africans anymore!
For as long as I can remember I have always wanted to know why the other races of mankind, especially the white race, abused and degraded the black race in such a manner. I have considered this question from every possible angle and yet did not seem to find an answer to it.
It was only recently when I forced myself to grapple with the implications of Quantum Mechanics, that I seem to get a handle on my question. It simply did not add up for the universe to allow one particular race, black people, to be insulted and humiliated in such a manner for no reason.
Of course, I can tell the white man with tears in my eyes, the reason he has abused and degraded the black race. In fact, I have said to all Africans in eighteen articles, my opinion about 'the origin and spread of Aids.' We, the Western civilization, has cut off African cultures from the traditional roots and the rest of the world cultures.
We, especially the Dutch, have captured Africans and brought them to America for our own profit. We make money out of blacks. That must be the answer! It is a disgrace to say that, but where does it really go wrong? It will be most certainly not Alexander the Great, although he was also white.
Intelligent Africans can call upon Alexander the Great and ask him why he didn't prevent the down flow of Africa, instead of giving them an opening by bringing the African people into the stream of ancient civilizations? But…, Alexander didn't explore the Nile and as a consequence, interior Africa or African people have been isolated from the rest of the world.
Also striking is that some Africans discussed the presence of mosquitoes and why white folk did not penetrate Africa until the nineteenth century? Within one of my hundreds of previous articles, I explained to Africans and the Afro-Americans that white folk has developed diseases and put them with genetic engineering techniques into African mosquitoes in order to kill black folks.
This is the reason the type of mosquitoes in Central Africa are different from normal mosquitoes in Africa. I can imagine that my research may not be satisfactory to many, but you shouldn't doubt what I have said. I have already issued a challenge to all top scientists in Europe and America to prove me wrong, if Aids, Ebola, Lassa fever and other deadly diseases weren't medical crimes against Africa, up till now no one has accepted the challenge.
They are quiet, not because I'm crazy or a liar, but rather they are running away from the truth. They are scared to death if I publish such articles and since I know that fear in their eyes, I will not stop writing or publishing the truth until the time I go down to my grave to rest. They must also live with their crime and guilty conscience forever.
As it were, nature was preserving Africans for a different type of civilization, the one that Africans are best suited for and the type they would lead the world into, a civilization based on love. Nature did not want to corrupt Africans by making them behave as how the other races of mankind behaved hatefully.
All human beings, white, black and oriental are the same and are coequal. Intelligence is distributed in the same pattern in all the races. As everywhere else, few Africans have superior intelligence, some have above average intelligence and most of them are average and a handful is mentally retarded. If Africans are the same as other people, why are they treated differently?
Dear Africans, in my investigations about 'Aids and Ebola the greatest crime in medical history against mankind' I explained the reason white folks have driven black people backward, I will do so again within the next articles. The white folks knew that Africans are intrinsically interested in understanding the meaning of love around them and the world they see.
Africans want to understand the implications of their living and seem to be the consciousness that they are more than matter. Revealing my investigation of Aids and Ebola as medical crimes, made me a whistle-blower, passing through lot of difficulties in my country, Holland, in a situation I could describe it as 'Darkness fighting the light.'
Europe has exhausted itself, and it will continue to do so. Therefore it is now time for Africans to take over the reins of human civilization and to take your continent to a higher phase of civilization yourself. But never, NEVER be grateful to the whites for what they have done for you because they are too much in debt.
Europeans absolutely do not deserve that gratitude. On the contrary, I would say, of course, you have the right to say that love means union with all beings, I cannot deny that. To be truly human is to love all people. Black folks do love; they love white folks despite white folk's abuse of them. All those facts are true, only…, white folks haven't even started to learn those facts.
"In my opinion white smartness is a form of stupidity." I need to say that because it's absolutely not smart to degrade, abuse or backward African people in such a way. In the West, smart white people get the Nobel Prize for their criminal actions in Africa, which in my opinion, the Nobel Prize organization is also a criminal institute…!
Every nation that has committed a crime in Africa, during the colonial rule or with medical crimes, should accept the responsibility for all the misery in Africa. We cannot exculpate this mess passed on to the Africans. People can only live in peace together if they can live at peace with itself. Only then can insidious diseases, wars, riots and natural disasters that are increasingly bringing humanity into disrepair be stopped.
At the end of the last millennium all threats were known and the overall globalization of the third millennium. We should not forget the overall findings by the Aztecs as they mentioned the cataclysm year of 2012. Is it meaningless? I really don't know. We should wait, but further destroying of our world will become increasingly intense, with protests, terror, and calls for war.
I really think we now have to face another sort of cataclysm. Refugee Migration! I also think that we need this to let white people understand what it takes to get a better future. Therefore I call upon every African or African refugees to come to the Western world to take back what belongs to you. Yes, Western Europe looted the African continent and all those riches they are now boasting of are still here. Come and enjoy your fruits of labour Africans.
Europeans didn't only stole your wealth, but also your health, prosperity, and identity. This way the white ones will be forced to change their attitude. We can not shoot every black person as happening in America, we cannot drown every African in the Mediterranean Sea and we cannot kill every African with contaminated vaccines and poisonous medicines.
The mere fact that the net assets of the sixty-two richest people, like Soros, Gates, Rockefeller, Zuckerberg, and Rothchild, surpass the total income of the suffering and the underprivileged, indicates that the gap between rich and poor has become unbridgeable. They use this money in many projects to depopulate the world, sometimes without knowing it. Over a hundred employees of the World Health Organization are paid by Bill and Linda Gates. What about the secretly paid employees in other so-called distinguish organizations?
Pecuniary wealth has become concentrated in countries outside Africa, a continent plundered of human beings and wealth by the whites. In over one hundred poor countries, it's just a sharp drop in the average income shown and that worldview is an increasingly rapid process to the detriment of Africa, which is not changing for the better.
Africans, you talked about God? I have long wondered exactly who He is and why He allows people to dice with African people for their own gain. I am not God, of course not, but certainly I know that He God is neither Ego, white, black, Jehovah, Muslim, Christian or Jew. Yes, God is not even an entity but still present.
I think the current belief on earth is, people feel they will not succeed in describing him as the Ultimate Source and power of the universe. The closest way to describe him to me seems to Quantum Mechanic and Physic theories but just then, humans forever will be humans until they have eradicated themselves.
Africans sorry!!!! But does my sorry and shame help? I doubt it, the only thing that will rest is to give the world back to the African natives and their splendid traditional healers….. A world without white conquerors…!

Seeds Of Destruction: The Hidden Agenda Of Genetic Manipulation
This skillfully researched book focuses on how a small socio-political American elite seeks to establish control over the very basis of human survival: the provision of our daily bread. "Control the food and you control the people." This is no ordinary book about the perils of GMO. Engdahl takes the reader inside the corridors of power, into the backrooms of the science labs, behind closed doors in the corporate boardrooms.
The author cogently reveals a diabolical World of profit-driven political intrigue, government corruption and coercion, where genetic manipulation and the patenting of life forms are used to gain worldwide control over food production. If the book often reads as a crime story, that should come as no surprise.
For that is what it is.Engdahl's carefully argued critique goes far beyond the familiar controversies surrounding the practice of genetic modification as a scientific technique. The book is an eye-opener, a must-read for all those committed to the causes of social justice and World peace.
William Engdahl is an award-winning geopolitical analyst, strategic risk consultant, author, professor and lecturer.
He has been researching and writing about the world political scene for more than thirty years. His various books on geopolitics—the interaction between international power politics, economics and geography—have been translated into 14 foreign languages from Chinese to French, from German to Japanese.
His most recent works trace the strategies and events that led to the rise of the US as an international superpower. He describes the emergence after 1945 of an American power as a new kind of Empire not based upon sole military occupation of land, but control of vital resources. Domination was through creation of an informal empire where control of finance, of the basic food chain, of energy—above all of oil, would be the basis for what would become the greatest concentration of power in history, an American Sole Superpower after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Born in Minnesota, William Engdahl grew up in Texas. After earning a degree in politics from Princeton University, and graduate study in comparative economics at Stockholm University, he worked as an economist and investigative freelance journalist in New York and Europe.
He has lectured on contemporary geopolitics as Visiting Professor at Beijing University of Chemical Technology and delivers talks and private seminars around the world on different aspects of economics and politics with focus on political risk. He has given talks at the Ministry of Science and Technology Conference on Alternative Energy, Beijing; London Centre for Energy Policy Studies of Hon. Sheikh Zaki Yamani; Turkish-Eurasian Business Council of Istanbul, Global Investors' Forum (GIF) Montreaux Switzerland; Bank Negara Indonesia; the Russian Institute of Strategic Studies; the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), Croatian Chamber of Commerce and Economics.
F. William Engdahl also contributes regularly to a number of international publications on economics and political affairs including Asia Times, FinancialSense.com, 321.gold.com, The Real News, RT.com OpEdge, RT TV, Asia Inc., GlobalResearch.com, Japan's Nihon Keizai Shimbun and Foresight magazine. He has been a frequent contributor to the New York Grant'sInvestor.com, European Banker and Business Banker International, Globus in Croatia, and has been interviewed on various geopolitical topics on numerous international TV and radio programs including USA Coast-to-Coast with George Noory, Al Jazeera, CCTV and Sina.com (China), Korea Broadcasting System (KBS), and Channel 1 Russian TV.
William is a Research Associate of Michel Chossudovsky's Centre for Research on Globalization in Montreal, Canada and member of the editorial board of Eurasia magazine. He currently lives in Germany and in addition to writing and giving interviews on current events, consults as a political risk economist for various private organizations, major European banks and private investor groups. Why the "F." in F. William Engdahl? That's an interesting question.

Is Google's Greed Cutting Its Own Throat?
Last year, German news publishers speed their fight to cut of the advertisement revenue that Google earned, when it publishes parts of their news article. In another development, the publishers' society, filed a suit against the internet search-engine after they refused to negotiate and pay compensation.
In the past, Google has won a number of legal actions filed against them, but it may be likely that they may not escape the wrath and anger of the European Union this time. After a five year probe, CCTV's Jack Parrock, in Brussels, filed a report against Google, accusing them of cheating, consumers.
The EU says the internet giant took advantage of competitors and shoppers – by manipulating search results. The dominant Google drives about 90 percent consumers in Europe, unfairly directing the public to its own services. Specifically, this is about shopping, and taking unfair advantage against competitors like Yelp. The issue has been percolating for years, and Google escaped at least three attempts to settle.
Google's defense is, in part, that the world has moved on. That mobile is disrupting the ability of even a dominant web power to control much of anything. This view is shared by the International Center for Law & Economics, which says the EU is "still fighting the last war."
In a free market, consumers and producers want to enjoy flexible services, not monopoly. Will the European Union win this case against Google? Because the giant search engine's unfairly directing the public to its own service, against their will, means they are depriving the people of free consumer sovereignty, rich level of service and charging high prices for low quality goods and services.

A Dance With The Devil
At the start of her relationship with the intelligent and worldly John Perry, Barbara Bentley couldn't believe her luck, so when things didn't add up, she struggled to ignore her doubts. She kept trying to put the pieces together, unaware that some of them were simply missing.
Even as he drained her credit, dodged her questions, manipulated her and misled her, she stayed with him, suppressing her growing suspicions. Ultimately he would try to kill her, proving himself not a protector and provider, but a predator.
This is Barbara's courageous, compelling story, in her own words?of the slow, choking darkness that fell after the honeymoon was over, what it took to finally drive her to escape and start her life anew, and her tireless efforts to protect other women and help them learn from her example.
I grew up in a small blue-collar town in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I pedaled my bicycle to the local park to collect discarded soda bottles to pay my way to the Saturday matinee, read Nancy Drew mysteries, met with friends for bowling and roller skating excursions, and buried my nose in my school books. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would become an internationally published author who has appeared on national television in the United States and Canada.
I entered the world of writing quite by accident; it was the result of my husband trying to murder me by ether asphyxiation. As I helped the homicide detective prepare my case for trial, I decided to write a book to help others understand the crazymaking world of psychopaths and how their cleverness can trap the most unsuspecting victim who has been raised in an environment of trust. I also made the decision to change an unjust divorce law that had me give my attacker half of my retirement fund and alimony.
Having made the decision to tell my story, it was now time to learn how to write. I read books, joined the International Women's Writing Guild, and attended the Writers Retreat Workshop. I used passion, planning, patience, and persistence to see Penguin's Berkley Books publish my book "A Dance with the Devil: A True Story of Marriage to a Psychopath." Little did I know that when I started the story was not finished; the successful end was that several years later I did change the divorce law of California.
I feel blessed that my story has been featured on Dateline NBC, the Lifetime Television show "Final Justice" hosted by Erin Brockovich and the Canadian network VIVA in their series "The Devil You Know." In 2009, I won the prestigious Paul H. Chapman award from the Foundation for the Improvement of Justice in Atlanta, Georgia, for my role in changing the divorce law. I believe I am one person who can make a difference and I field numerous emails from victims who thank me for writing my book while they tell me how it has positively affected their lives.
I willingly share my experience whenever the opportunity arises. I am a motivational speaker who has spoken to audiences numbering from ten to five hundred for such diverse organizations as the American Association of University Women, Soroptimists, the International Women's Writing Guild, St. Mary's University, Children's Advocacy Program and Diablo Valley College and was part of an all day seminar titled "Dream It, Do It."
I'm retired after 39 years in the business world and have found that I enjoy writing. I am now a lifetime member of the California Writers Club and currently serve as secretary for one my local branch. Writing interests include authoring and illustrating a fairy tale trilogy, putting together a book on success based on what I discovered about myself as I wrote my first book, and penning an historical novel about a strong Irish woman.
I live in Northern California with my husband of thirteen years, and our cat Sierra. My husband and I are award-winning home wine and label makers who love to travel extensively around the globe. Please visit my website http://www.adancewiththedevil.com to help others learn about psychopaths, recovery, advocacy, and writing.

Who has a right to judge what is normal? For 18 year old Maria Valentino it was her parents, it was her friends and it was the doctors who decided that she was no longer stable for the outside world. No one questioned that the man who put her in a mental institution for eight months was in fact a violent drunk, because unlike Maria people thought he was normal.
No one questioned that her friends bullied their classmates on a daily basis to stay at the top of the social ladder, because that was normal.
The only time people started asking questions was when Maria finally snapped.
Then, she meets Mason Riley. Charming, handsome and confident. He was like a slap back to reality, and for the first time in years Maria finally felt like she was back in normality.
The only problem was that she met Mason when she was admitted to The Ledge Mental Institution. He had been bouncing from hospital to hospital since he was 12 years old, somewhere along the way the doctors branded him a Sociopath. That would explain the charm, his exceptional knack at manipulation and the remorse that he lacks to feel.
Yet, even with all of that Maria finds herself believing that Mason might actually be one of the most normal aspects of her life, because after all sanity is best judged by those who lack it.
That's what he keeps telling her, and she almost started to believe him. Almo

LONDON (Reuters) – The deputy leader of Britain's opposition Labour Party increased pressure on its leader, Jeremy Corbyn, over anti-Semitism on Sunday, saying the party could "disappear into a vortex of eternal shame" unless he tackled a growing crisis.

Corbyn has been criticized by Jewish groups for what they describe as his tolerance of anti-Semitism in Labour, a crisis that has threatened his standing at a time when the governing Conservatives are struggling to unite behind a Brexit plan.
Corbyn's attempt to defuse the crisis on Saturday by saying he was tackling the "real problem" of anti-Semitism in the party fell flat for several Jewish groups, one of which — the Jewish Labour Movement — called for action, not words.
In an interview with the Observer newspaper on Sunday, deputy leader Tom Watson took aim at Corbyn saying the party had to "take a long, hard look at ourselves, stand up for what is right and present the party as fit to lead the nation – or disappear into a vortex of eternal shame and embarrassment".
"I think it's very important that we all work to de-escalate this disagreement."
He called on Corbyn to adopt in full an internationally accepted definition of anti-Semitism. Labour says it has concerns about part of the definition but had re-opened discussions to take into account Jewish community concerns.
The Labour Party has been benefiting in the polls from a row in the Conservatives over Prime Minister Theresa May's plans for Britain to leave the European Union, which has deepened divisions and raised the possibility of an early election.
But some Labour members fear the growing row over anti-Semitism will damage the party before an election, which is due in 2022.

Understanding coinsurance is important to every business owner when evaluating if they have adequate business property coverage. Othewise, a claim may result in the possibility of being under insured.
The Industry first coinsurance calculator to help business owners with determining if adequately insured on their business property, cannabis, equipment, buildings, and crop coverages.
Every cannabis business goes through the process of trying to determine the proper amount of insurance and understanding key policy terms. One of those terms is named coinsurance. Each business personal property insurance policy will have information to describe the meaning of coinsurance.
Basically, it's a calculation used by insurance carriers to determine the amount of a loss paid after a claim for business personal property coverages. Property means building, cannabis, grow equipment, computers, display cases, tenant improvements, or other property owned by the cannabis company. Commercial liability policies will not have coinsurance.
Coinsurance is always expressed as a percentage. For example, a cannabis licensee may insure their grow equipment for $500,000 with an 80% coinsurance factor. A retail marijuana store might insure the building for $350,000 and cannabis stock for $100,000. Other coinsurance factors may include 90% or 100%. Most insurance policies will have one coinsurance factor.
Below are two examples from an insurance policy to show the impact of coinsurance. The first scenario results with the customer being paid much less than what they had anticipated. The second example shows the business personal property was adequately insured to meet the coinsurance factor.
The result of this example is the insurance carrier will pay no more than $19,750 after the deductible despite the claim being $40,000. This example indicates how important it is to be properly insured.
The result of this example is the insurance carrier will pay no more than $39,750 after the deductible. The claim amount was $40,000. This example indicates a sufficient coverage limits.

Q: Why does the bicycle move forward after I give it an impulse with the help of brakes? Whenever I need to slow down my bicycle I use brakes, momentarily pressing them and then releasing. For some reason, this momentarily halts the bicycle and when I release the brakes, the bicycle continues to move forward albeit with a velocity less than what it was before.
So far I haven't broken any bones while riding the bicycle, so I guess I can use this method, but what I am confused about is that if the bicycle momentarily comes to almost standstill, why does it move again? Shouldn't it stay at rest once it stops? Or is there something I am missing?

A: When you tap the breaks, the bicycle stops but your body keeps moving. Almost immediately after you let go of the breaks you push/hit the front handlebars and the bike keeps going. Having your bike coming to a full stop (without your body slowing down) without problems is only possible at low speeds. At higher speeds the bike probably doesn't slow down as much as it feels like it does.

On Tuesday, Pitkin County Commissioners and the Open Space and Trails Board will hear updates on a draft plan for a trail that could eventually connect Carbondale and Crested Butte.
Earlier this month, the open space and trails boards for both the City of Aspen and Pitkin County agreed to move forward with plans to build a trail along Castle Creek Road. It will run just under a mile between the city trail from the Marolt housing to the campus of the Aspen Music School and Aspen Country Day School.
More than 250 people submitted comments on a proposed trail through the Crystal River Valley. Pitkin County released them Thursday; there is general support for the trail, but concerns remain.
Pitkin County Open Space and Trails protects more than 20,000 acres of public land in the Roaring Fork Valley. These properties are used for recreation, to protect wildlife and for agriculture. The open space program leases out some of its properties to local farmers and ranchers. Two Roots Farm is the newest lessee at Emma Open Space.
Pitkin County officials are working to connect Carbondale to Crested Butte with a multi-use trail that would run through the Crystal Valley. Open Space and Trails staff has a draft plan in the works, and it goes far beyond the trail route.
The Mather House on Emma Open Space needs major repairs, and the funding is in sight after a long wait.
Pitkin County has released a draft plan for its proposed trail through the Crystal River Valley. It could eventually connect to Crested Butte.
Local farmers may soon be able to rent and share tools, as local governments are working on an agricultural equipment library.
This week, The U.S. Forest Service accepted Aspen Skiing Company's ideas for the future of Aspen Mountain.The plans include new terrain, expanded snowmaking, and more summer trails. This news comes as we learn that skier visits are down, not just in Aspen, but across the state. Snowmass Town Council is still grappling with questions about Base Village, and Pitkin County Open Space and Trails works on local food production.
Pitkin County's open spaces are increasingly being used for more than recreation, as agriculture is taking root on public lands.
The Open Space and Trails board met Thursday to discuss proposed trail alignments through the Crystal Valley.
Wednesday is the last day for the public to submit comments on alignments for a proposed trail through the Crystal River Valley. If completed, that trail would eventually connect Carbondale with Crested Butte.
Pitkin County Open Space and Trails officials are facing one of their biggest years yet. Elizabeth Stewart-Severy details on the 2018 budget.
Pitkin County's Open Space and Trails program leases 240 acres of agricultural land to local farmers, and now the board is considering shouldering some of the costs for tools, too.
Pitkin County officials are working on a trail that will eventually connect Carbondale to Crested Butte. They've released possible routes for Pitkin County's section, which runs to the top of McClure Pass. Elizabeth Stewart-Severy took a tour of the area, exploring both the history and the future of the corridor.
Pitkin County is planning a trail from Carbondale to Crested Butte, and the public can check out route options this week.
Roaring Fork Valley outdoor enthusiasts have come together in record numbers to build two singletrack trails along Prince Creek Road in Carbondale.


Allows linking up various LAN resources without additional devices. All Ethernet ports are configured independently or operate in commutator mode. In case of commutator mode, all ports function as a single network interface and transmit data bypassing the processor.
Is used for router configuration.
Makes it easier to choose processor module depending on the task with regard to such requirements as router performance, number of channels, encryption, etc.
Allows establishing remote connections in 2-, 4-, 6- and 8-wire mode.
Each of the E1 module interfaces may be used in the multiplexing into SHDSL, RS232 and other E1 channels mode. The interfaces may as well be used for data routing in HDLC mode.
Features ports for linking up analog telephones with tone or impulse dialing for further transmission of voice using VoIP.
Option of independent setup of the following characteristics for different channels: type of dtmf-signal transmission, volume during signal coding/decoding, activity detector, etc.
Features ports linking up voice frequency channels for further transmission of the digitized signal using IP technology.
Features ports for linking up equipment with serial interface.
Adapter-module for PCMCIA (CardBus) devices: Wi-Fi, etc.
Ensures co-operation with wireless modules PCMCIA 802.11 a/b/g of different manufacturers in the frequencies including 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Enables the router to operate as access point or as client. VLANs support is provided. An option of installation of different antennae is available.
The SG-17R-1RU-CP1-4ETH/DC base platform modular platform is designed to operate as a router, multiplexer, bridge, DSLAM, access server, IP-gateway, IT-PBX, most of the functions being carried out simultaneously by the same device.
BridgeThe bridge mode enables the device to carry out transparent traffic transmission between its interfaces. For example, it is possible to transmit traffic transparently between two Ethernet networks over an SHDSL consisting of several channels.
The multiplexer mode enables transmission of data streams by means of IP and TDM technologies, over the chosen broad-band interface (SHDSL, Ethernet, E1). Both E1 and RS232 interfaces may be used as narrow-band (low-speed) channels. In this case, additional router or bridge setup completed, the remaining band may be used for Ethernet traffic transmission. To transmit E1 streams over Ethernet by TDMoIP, SG-17R platform with a stronger processor module is used. Both copper medium 10/100/1000 Mbit/s and optical channel linked over plug-in SFP interface may be used as Ethernet.
The router mode enables transmission of traffic among different IP-networks, linked to different interfaces, routing rules observed. Both static and dynamic routing is supported.
The DSLAM mode transforms SG-17R-1RU-CP1-4ETH/DC base platform into commutator that transmits data between SHDSL or Ethernet network interfaces. The SHDSL and Ethernet modules, being parts of the device, are capable of power-feeding the link.
The access server mode provides control over equipment linked to SG-17R-1RU-CP1-4ETH/DC base platform over RS232.
The IP-gateway mode allows both separating and uniting telephones using VoIP and data transmission over Ethernet, SHDSL and E1.
The IP-PBX mode allows setting up miniPBX, which, in its turn enables calls over SIP-server, calls between ports within single device or among different SG-17R-1RU-CP1-4ETH/DC base platform devices. The miniPBX enables automatic call-forwarding between FXS/FXO ports.
The software of the SG-17R-1RU-CP1-4ETH/DC base platform platform is Linux OS freeware. The platform is controlled through web-interface (Russian and English); troubleshooting is completed over serial port or over SSH protocol. The platform software is updated via TFTP server.
SG-17R-1RU-CP1-4ETH/DC base platform supports "bonding" mechanism or PPP-Multilink protocol both of which enable uniting SHDSL, E1, RS232 interfaces for further increasing the carrying capacity and improving reliability. When using "bonding", the channel capacity remains unchanged irrespective of integrity of the pairs, over which data is transmitted. Furthermore, transmission rate may be set taking into account the maximum carrying capacity of the channels.
SG-17R-1RU-CP1-4ETH/DC base platform may operate as firewall, rejecting or accessing packets on the basis of the protocol, source and destination addresses and No. of the ports used. By means of NAT address translation applicable to SNAT or DNAT is completed.
QoS enables prioritizing packets. QoS is supported by various class and classless disciplines. There is an option of singling out fixed bands for different types of traffic or for different networks.
VLAN support helps to isolate traffic transmitted through the same physical medium. The port may be set up so as to transmit either entire traffic or single packets with certain LAN numbers.
SG-17R enables crating tunnels for tamper-free data exchange.
Built-in Ethernet ports may be set up as commutators, i.e. may transmit data by-passing the processer. These ports operate as a single network interface in the system. Interdependence of the interfaces may be set, in which case, for instance, if the link on SHDSL fails, the link of the corresponding Ethernet or E1 interface turns down as well.
SG-17R features built-in DHCP and DNS servers. DHCP server allows assigning IP addresses to PCs in the networks it runs in. DNS server helps transfer requests to higher-level DNS-servers or locate DNS zones directly on the device.
SG-17R enables receiving multiple parameters of SHDSL channel (signal to noise ratio, number of errors, etc) through separate EOC control channel. This information is available via web-interface or via SNMP (HDSL2-SHDSL-LINE-MIB).
Basic information on the system in accordance with MIB-2 is also available via SNMP: information about network interfaces, routing tables, processor load, etc.
Generation of NetFlow (v.1, 5, 7) may be set up for collection of statistic on the volume of traffic.

Karma Pakši (1204–1283) byl tibetský mnich, 2. karmapa školy Karma Kagjü, ze kterého se vliv školy rozšířil až do Mongolska.

Karma Pakši se narodil do rodiny pocházející z linie od tibetského krále Thisonga Decäna. Otec se jmenoval Džalla Tsusa, matka Sangsa Manki. Byl jejich nejmladším potomkem.
Byl zázračným dítětem a již v deseti letech si osvojil praktickou i teoretickou znalost dharmy. Jeho učitel Pomdagpa Sönam Dordže mu předal hlavní učení školy Karma Kagjü a byl to on kdo si uvědomil, že Karma Pakši je inkarnací Düsum Khjenpy, předchozího karmapy.

Převážnou část první poloviny svého života strávil Pakši v meditaci. Ve věku 47 let podnikl cestu do Číny a Mongolska. Strávil delší dobu na dvoře mongolského chána Kublaje, kde sehrál důležitou roli ve snaze zabránit válkám. Přestože byl požádán, aby na chánově dvoře zůstal natrvalo, odmítl a vydal se na daleké cesty po Mongolsku, Číně a Tibetu. V Číně strávil Karma Pakši šest let. Během těchto let zde předával mnohá učení Dharmy, požehnání a iniciací, postavil mnoho klášterů a meditačních center. Ještě za svého života se stal známým učitelem a proslavil svou školu i za tibetskými hranicemi. Před svou smrtí určil místo a čas příštího zrození svého nástupce.

You are here: Home › Geological Processes › Pothole Formation › Newby Moss: the deep interior
Long Kin West or the 'L' hole; horrifically deep and narrow, is largely unsuspected by walkers on Newby Moss – and is crossed by a narrow rock bridge. Stephen Oldfield
Newby Moss is an area of bleak moorland where a thick layer of glacial drift has completely obscured the Great Scar Limestone beneath. It is bounded along its south-western edge by the Craven Faults, and the limestone bench beneath the drift cover is actually the highest on Ingleborough, at 455 metres above sea level. The drift was deposited due to the area lying immediately in the lee of the Ingleborough summit mass, where ice flow in the Pleistocene was considerably slower – encouraging the build-up of material. For the limestone enthusiast, this means that many caves that may well lie below have been completely covered, although one or two spectacular shafts do allow us tantalising – and at times horrific – glimpses into the deep interior.
Grey Wife Sike, and (below), the large doline of P2a – where the water sinks today. Stephen Oldfield
P2a sink. Stephen Oldfield
The Moss is conveniently split into two by the major stream of Grey Wife Sike, which used to sink much further down the fell and these days vanishes into an obscure pothole named P2a (SD737723). The dry valley of the former stream channel can easily be traced above Newby Cote. West of the sike, the boundary of the Yoredale Series extends further over the buried limestone, whereas towards the Clapham side, on the east – there is a wider bench of limestone beneath the drift cover, giving a chance for more significant horizontal caves to develop. The well-known characteristic of the Newby Moss shafts is that, unlike many of the potholes surrounding Ingleborough, they are merely vertical – with very little horizontal cave development at depth. Most of the deep holes land on nothing more than cobble-choked floors, spectacular as they are. The reason for this is not fully understood, but they are believed to have been formed by meltwater sinking through crevasses in the ice – these creative streams having long since vanished, with streams of only mediocre size now taking their place.
Newby Moss Pot, lying on a fault to the east of Grey Wife Sike: The bridge-like structure marking the entrance. Stephen Oldfield
Newby Moss Pot: the precarious way in through a narrow cavity. Stephen Oldfield
East of Grey Wife Sike, Newby Moss Pot itself lies in the bottom of a doline with a notable bridge at the bottom. Formed on the Clapdale Fault, it contains a series of shafts and about 200 metres of stream passage before ending in a boulder-choked rift. Flowstone in the entrance has been dated back 350,000 years making the origins of the system pre-Anglian. The pot used to swallow the water that now sinks in the nearby doline of P2; water that was once proved to emerge at Clapham Beck Head, and was therefore linked to the Gaping Gill system. This would therefore indicate potential for further cave passages undiscovered below the moss, and perhaps one day a Newby Moss Master Cave may even be discovered. The presence of Grey Wife Hole nearby (SD741722) with its 400 metres of horizontal passage and rifts to the wonderfully-named Paradox Pond, adds further fuel to this potential.
Harry Horse Stone – a boulder deposited on the drift of Newby Moss by a retreating ice sheet. Stephen Oldfield
The beautiful shaft of the Fluted Hole – or the Fairy's Throne, which swallows a small stream on its way to Moses Well in Clapdale. Stephen Oldfield
A number of well-known shafts with very little horizontal development lie to the west of Grey Wife Sike. The dip of the Great Scar Limestone, back towards the summit mass of Ingleborough, may well be another reason for this. Fluted Hole (SD734724), at 457 metres above sea level, is the highest stream sink in Great Scar Limestone on Ingleborough, swallowing a small stream which sinks into cobbles in the floor and emerges in Clapdale at Moses Well – an impressive 251 metres lower down! Its route remains unknown, but what cannot be denied is the sheer beauty of the entrance shaft. Fluted columns of limestone emerge from the depths, surrounded by a wealth of lime-loving plants – and the alternative name of 'Fairy's Throne' is a good one.
The line of fault-guided shafts making up Pillar Holes. Stephen Oldfield
Polished pillars of fluted pink limestone plunging into the depths at Pillar Holes. Stephen Oldfield
Equally attractive are the wonderful Pillar Holes (SD733724) lying close by. Here a series of beautifully fluted shafts – some dyed pink by impurities in the limestone, descend a total of 87 metres to be interconnected by passages through shale beds, but there is no horizontal development. Everything of interest lies immediately below the entrance series. Formed again along a fault, they are worth a trip for the beautifully sculpted limestone architecture.
The horrors of Long Kin West: the two innocent looking holes either side of the bridge – with the left hole boasting the deepest daylight shaft on Ingleborough. Stephen Oldfield
Beyond these two beauties lies the horror. 'Beauty and the Beast' works well on Newby Moss. Two insignificant holes at the southern end of an 'L'-shaped rift (SD731724) are crossed by a grassy bridge. The hole on the north side, barely eight feet wide, drops a spine-chilling 292 feet and was clearly a former stream sink as the current cascade falls in the same rift just a few metres away to the north. This is Long Kin West – and, as Wainwright warns us (1991) 'If life is considered precious – keep well away.' The two immense shafts, either side of the bridge, are linked by a passage through a shale bed 100 metres down, but the deeper of the two continues to drop to a total depth of 168 metres (500 feet)-far and away the deepest daylight shaft on Ingleborough. As the pot has little if any horizontal development – no dangling ropes means no cavers below. Drop down a small pebble and it is horrifying to see how long it is before you hear that final 'ping.' The water from Long Kin West disappears inside and is not seen again until it reaches Moses Well in Clapdale, just above the 'lake'. Clearly, the mysterious underworld of Newby Moss is one of Ingleborough's great enigmas.

Unique among African countries, the ancient Ethiopian monarchy has always maintained its freedom from colonial rule. The one brief exception was when occupied by the Italians from 1936 until 1941. Ethiopia has 1,127,127 sq km; the population was estimated in July 2002 to be almost 68 million. Life expectancy is about 45 years. Women have about 7 children each. The country has one internet service provider.
Ethiopia is the oldest independent country in sub-Saharan Africa. The earliest evidence of Ethiopian history was in around 1000BC when the Queen of Sheba visited King Solomon.
The first recorded kingdom in Ethiopia grew around Axum during the 3rd century BC. Axum was an offshoot of the Semitic Sabeam kingdoms of southern Arabia; it became the greatest ivory market in the north east.
Ethiopia influenced the state of Meroe in Sudan. Over the next few centuries, Axum encroached more and more on Meroe until, when Christianity became the state religion in the 4th century AD, Ethiopia conquered the kingdom.
Christianity was adopted in the country by a Syrian youth named Frumentius who grew up in Axum and converted the King; the youth was later made the first Bishop in 330AD.
Axum conquered parts of Yemen and southern Arabia and remained a great power until the death of the Prophet Mohammed.
Islam was expanding which had the effect of cutting off Ethiopia from its former Mediterranean trading partners and allies, Muslims replaced the Egyptians in the Red Sea ports. Ethiopians were allowed to consecrate their Bishops in Cairo and pilgrims were allowed to travel to Jerusalem.
Unfortunately, the Ethiopians did not have such a good relationship with the pagan tribes in the south and pressure from these tribes forced the Ethiopian emperors to adopt the life of nomadic military commanders living in makeshift cities. The priests were forced to become monks and hermits. After some time these tribes were pacified and Ethiopia recovered enough to take the provinces of Amhara, Lasta, Gojam and Damot. At a similar time the capital was moved to the south to the Amhara province.
In the 12th century Muslim expansion began. As independent trading kingdoms grew up along the coast of the Red Sea they expanded down to the Awash Valley. Their wealth was based mainly upon a trade in slaves, gold and ivory.
During the 13th and 14th centuries the Red Sea Kingdoms became Ethiopian vassal states.
During the 15th century with the expansion of the Ottoman Empire, Ethiopian fortunes were reversed. The Turks who succeeded the Mamelukes in Egypt supported the Muslim kingdoms providing both firearms and artillery; the only thing that saved the Christian empire from collapse was the Portuguese. In 1542 as a result of this, missionaries from Portugal attempted to persuade the Ethiopians to accept the Pope in Rome as the leader of the Church.
In the 18th century the empire broke down into constituent provinces, and a hundred years of constant warfare between existing war lords and their successors followed.
Ras Kassa had himself crowned as the emperor at Axum under a different name, Tewodros. This happened in 1855 when he constructed an army to reunite the provinces of Tigre, Amhara and Shoa.
Tewodros shot himself because the British, in 1867, blockaded his fortress. He was succeeded by John the 4th who took power by using British arms and was forced to accept a powerful young vassal king of Shoa as his heir, named Menelik. He built up large stores of European arms which he used to defeat the Italians in 1896 at Adowa.
John the 4th enlarged his empire at the expense of the Afars, the Somalis of Harrar and the Ogadam, and the Gallas.
In 1916, Haile Selassie, born Prince Ras Tafari Makonnen, led a revolution and became Prince Regent, heir to the throne. He was proclaimed Emperor in 1930.
Mussolini, from Italy overran the country in 1936. Haile Selassie fled to England where he lived in exile. He appealed for help, but none was offered although the western nations condemned the action. The Italians remained present in Ethiopia until 1941. Haile Selassie returned as Emperor.
After World War 2 Ethiopia's course as an independent nation continued although the province of Eritrea remained under British control until 1952 when it was federated with Ethiopia, a result of a plebiscite, organised by the UN. The Muslims were unhappy about the federation and so in 1962 the federation was dissolved and the province was annexed by Haile Selassie. The consequence of this was the outbreak of guerrilla warfare, the Muslims against the Christians.
The Eritreans regarded the annexation as tantamount to being colonised by another African nation and there were many years of inconclusive fighting which also led to mutiny and made more people aware of the revolutionary current which was sweeping through Ethiopian society. This was one of the principle factors leading to Haile Selassie's downfall.
Haile Selassie was respected as an African statesman and as a key person in the construction of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU).
Wealth went to nobility and the church. Many thousands of people died due to famine and the war in Eritrea.
In 1974 amid a wave of demonstrations, mutinies and uprisings, Haile Selassie was deposed and held under armed guard in his palace. He died several months later.
Ethiopia was then plunged into a social revolution and a group of junior army officers imposed a military dictatorship. The leader was Mengistu Haile Miriam. He threw out Americans and then instituted a number of radical reforms. He jailed the opposition; many people were massacred by vigilante groups; opposition arose everywhere; the Eritreans stepped up the guerrilla campaign and the Somalis decided that the time was right to press their claims over the Ogaden desert and invaded in force.
By 1978 the Somalis had managed to overrun Jijiga which was an important Ethiopian military base and were threatening to take areas through which the vital railway ran.
The military regime in Addis Ababa was at a point of collapse but then the Russian and Cuban troops intervened with the help from Moscow, Mengistu was able to turn the Somalis back across the border.
Mengistu's policies included creating "people's committees" called Kebeles which controlled the everyday lives of the people in great detail. Large numbers of people were forcibly moved around the country in an attempt to counter famine. Conscription into the army eventually called on every man from 18 to 70 years old.
Matters went from bad to worse. Mengistu found himself with a discontented population, frequent famine, war in Eritrea, Ogaden and Tigray. Finally, in 1991, when the rebel forces were about to seize Addis, Mengistu hastily left the country for Zimbabwe.
A new government was led by Meles Zenawi who set out a policy to pursue multi-party democracy. Eritrea became independent led by Isaias Afwerki, a friend of Zenawi.

Curtin student wins top science award
Curtin University of Technology Biomedical Sciences PhD student Melissa Corbett has won a top science award for her work on a strain of bacteria that is used to solubilise mineral deposits.
The second year PhD student, of Como, has won the WA competition of the 2008 AusBiotech-GSK Student Excellence Award.
She received a trip to Melbourne to attend the Australian Biotechnology Conference where she presented her research.
Ms Corbett was excited about winning the award and the networking opportunities offered by the conference.
"Biomining, the area of biotechnology I am studying, is in its infancy so making contacts with others who are studying and working in this area is very important," she said.
"There is a large scope for research in the biomining area, so hopefully I will be able to meet some people that I may work collaboratively with in the future.
"I am really looking forward to learning more about where my research can take me in the future after attending the conference."
The AusBiotech-GSK Student Excellence Awards are open to first and second year PhD students at Australian universities who are working on projects that potentially have a commercial application. Winners are chosen from each of the states in Australia and then invited to present at the Australian Biotechnology Conference.
Ms Corbett's research focuses on the metabolic functions of a particular strain of bacteria and how this information can be used to advance biomining technologies, having implications for the way in which minerals will be extracted in the future.
This research is especially important for WA with its wealth of mineral deposits in the north of the State to allow easier methods of mining in the future.
After completing her Bachelor of Science (Molecular Genetics) with honours at Curtin University in 2001, Ms Corbett worked in Sydney for two years before working at Kings College, London doing research for two years. She returned to WA in 2007 to start her PhD which she hopes to complete in 2010. Ms Corbett is also undertaking a Graduate Certificate in Research Commercialisation through the Australian Technology Network, of which Curtin is a member.

The Trailer for Emily In Paris Season 2 is finally here!
What Does "The Ick" Even Mean? 2021's Most Popular Dating Terms
Emily is back for amore! Yep, we FINALLY have a trailer for Emily in Paris season 2!
A Quick Recap On Season 1…
'Emily In Paris' follows Emily, a twentysomething marketing executive, who moves to Paris in place of her boss based by in Chicago. Despite many a run in with her new colleagues and boss in Paris, Emily soon proves her worth in the French capital. Of course there's many a romantic twist and turn along the way. And as previously mentioned, we were left with a BIG cliffhanger at the end of the first season. We're hoping that said cliffhanger is soon resolved, although if the trailer is anything to go by there could be a potential new love interest…
What Is Season 2 About?
Even though the trailer shows Emily in Saint Tropez (doesn't quite have the same ring), she is definitely still in Paris in season 2, and it looks like she'll be finding her feet more in the French capital. Creator of the show, Darren Star, told OprahMag.com "In season 2, she's going to be more of a part of the fabric of the world she's living in. She'll be more of a resident of the city."
This season will also explore Camille's potential feelings for Emily. Speaking to Vogue, Lily Collins (who plays Emily) said "There are tons of little moments where you're like, '…Does Camille like Emily?' You can't really get a vibe, and I feel like that ambiguity is what keeps Emily intrigued. I think anyone in that position would be like, you're my friend, but now I have this romantic connection [with Gabriel], and I don't want to hurt you, but… Oh my God! So, you know what, it's really confusing. I feel like the next season will only create more love triangle drama, although maybe Emily will have a little bit of a stronger handle on the situation… or maybe not."
Will you be watching 'Emily in Paris' season 2?


April showers bring May flowers, so the saying goes. This spring I wish you flowers everywhere - in your hair - in your chair - surrounding you with fragrant beauty.
In Los Angeles, where it seldom showers, the night-blooming Jasmine provide a scented sensuous backdrop when strolling after twilight. The flowers are so tiny and their fragrance so intense that it's like floating in a dream of intoxicating perfume.
Rejuvenate yourself by taking time to be in nature, planting a garden, or just looking at all the new life springing up from Mother Earth. I love visiting the same place in nature consistently, getting to know it and watching how it changes. When we see - really see - we notice even the subtle differences. Gentle walks in nature, letting go of our thoughts and entering the world of nature and nature spirits increase intuition and compassion. Nature is our Teacher when we let it be.
When we are not attached to the way things should be -- there should be sun, there should not be snow - we are more at peace with what is.
Find a quite place where you can be alone with the flowers, a stream, trees, mountains, or maybe the desert, depending on where you live. Be still. Let yourself meld into nature. Notice the way a flower grows on its fragile stem, so tiny in such a large world. Let yourself become the flower, in the present moment, unafraid, not thinking of a possible storm or a long cold winter.
Or be a stream. Let your consciousness leave you and enter the stream. Experience yourself clear and light, flowing effortlessly over rocks and barriers on your path....Or a tree, your branches reaching in ecstasy to the sky, your roots singing into the earth....Or a rock or a mountain soaking up the radiant heat and light of the sun....Or a desert stretching hot and dry into infinity.
Yes! Nature is a Great Teacher!
In imagination you can travel everywhere you want to be. We often use imagination for unimaginative things - like remembering an unhappy past or a frightening future. Why not use imagination for useful things? You will be happier when you do! And so will the people around you. Just as people are pulled toward a warm spring day or a beautiful flower, so are they pulled to a sunny, happy nature.
