Full List Of Ivy League Schools
By J.K Annan January 19, 2023
Have you ever come across the phrase ivy league schools and wondered why they are called that. Or wondering how many schools are part of the ivy league. Well, Ivy League colleges started as an association of eight athletic colleges that were very good in their league competitions. the popularity of the schools grew due to how good the college teams were.
What are Ivy League schools?
List of Ivy League Schools
Why are they called Ivy League schools?
Not only were their performance good, but because of their popularity their academic and student performance increased. The popularity obviously made getting admission to these schools more competitive. Consequently, more students now want to been in these Ivy League schools because of the reputation.
The Ivy League schools consist of 8 eight elite schools in the US. Now, the Ivy League schools are regarded as the most prestigious colleges when it comes to United States. You may find the college fees to be much higher but interestingly, these institutions have some of the most generous financial aid packages, so your admission may not be influenced by your financial background.
It is no news that Alumnus of these Ivy league schools get job offers faster and gives them a career boost because of the Although the schools have been ranked over the years, these rankings don't mean that one institution is better than another. Each school has different strengths, and all of the schools on this list are great institutions. Being an alumnus of any of them opens doors for you in your career.
Located at Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, Harvard is the oldest higher institution of learning in the United States of America. It was established in 1636 and was initially named Harvard College after its founding patron, John Harvard. The school is noted to be among one of the most prestigious Ivy League universities, especially when it comes to its law faculty.
The institution is one of the most prestigious in the United States of America, as well as the third oldest. Yale was founded in 1701 and has been a big name in the academic world since then. The school is dedicated to expanding and sharing knowledge, inspiring innovation, and preserving cultural and scientific information for future generations.
Better known as the Quakers, UPenn, or simply Penn, this tertiary institution of learning was established in 1740 by one of the most famous individuals in America's history, Benjamin Franklin. The University of Pennsylvania was built solely on the concept of innovation. Everything that is new and holds promise to change the world can be found at UPenn.
Princeton is a private university located in Princeton, New Jersey USA. The institution was chartered in 1746, but it moved to Princeton in 1756. The school has state-of-the-art facilities that every student has access to.
Andrew Dickson White and Ezra Cornell founded Cornell University in 1865. Historically, the institution was established to make acquiring classical and scientific knowledge easy for anyone searching. The school is located at Ithaca, NY 14850, USA.
Located at Providence, Rhode Island, United States, Brown University is a private Ivy League research institution established in 1764, making it number seven in the list of oldest higher institutions in the USA. It was originally known as the College in the English Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.
Dartmouth is very famous for its four leading graduate schools: the Geisel School of Medicine, the School of Graduate and Advanced Studies, the Thayer School of Engineering, and the Tuck School of Business.
Nicknamed the Big Green, this Ivy college is privately owned and was founded by Eleazar Wheelock in 1769. It was initially focused on teaching Christian theology and the English culture but has metamorphosed to include other fields of studies in its curriculum. The school is located at Hanover, New Hampshire, United States
Columbia University was founded in 1754 and was initially known as King's College. The schhol is a distinguished learning institution mostly known for its role as a research centre. As one of the top Ivy League schools, it is renowned for its academic standards, with an admission rate of around 6.1%.
There are several theories about why the schools are called ivy league but the most official is how their sportsmen performed during the league games somewhere in the 1950s. Another story regarding the origin of the term is that most schools are known for cultivating the ivy plant, a type of climbing vine distinguishable by its evergreen leaves and woody stems.
The term's first known use dates back to 1933 when Stanley Woodward (1895-1965) wrote about the football season. He was quoted as saying the following in his column for the New York Tribune on the 14th of October, 1933: saying,
A proportion of our eastern ivy colleges are meeting little fellows another Saturday before plunging into the strife and the turmoil.
Although there are only eight original Ivy League schools, the association of the term to academic excellence has made it such that some schools are now considered as ivy league colleges too. such schools are MIT and Stanford University.

Some 3 billion people in the world live outside the cash economy in the world's poorest nations. Food security and regular supply are their daily concerns. Chronic malnutrition is a leading cause of death and disease for them. Young children are amongst the most affected. One child every 5-10 seconds dies from undernutrition. Vitamin A deficiency causes night blindness for someone every minute. Most people in tropical and subtropical countries are iron deficient.
It does not have to be this way. God has already provided the right plants growing in their right places to sustain people in every place on his earth.
Our goal is to provide information that enables people to choose the right plant for their environment, to give them stable food production and a greater choice of plants to enrich their diets and improve their nutritional wellbeing.
This is a project undertaken by a group of Christians who want to be good stewards of God's world, provide practical information to help hungry people feed themselves and to put their faith into action. It is targeted towards rural producers in the tropical world where there are a large number of poorly documented and underutilised local plants. Local plants suit local conditions and are therefore more sustainable. As well, many are highly nutritious and very tasty. They are God's amazing provisions.

Q: How to read the contents of a text file in  [Java] Usually I can read the contents of a text file if it's just a regular file on my local disk. However, how can I read a file which exists in the default package I imported into my project? It doesn't have a filepath in the conventional sense so this is a little confusing.

A: When accessing a file within a jar, you cannot use absolute paths anymore. You must use the getResource (or getResourceAsStream) method defined on the Class class. More precisely, the call
MyClass.class.getResource(path)

will give access to the resource identified by the String variable path, which is a local path from the package containing MyClass to the resource. It is a common thing to create packages especially to store and access resources (for example a myApp.data package).

West and Central Africa: Flooding Situation - As of 31 October 2021
SITUATION OVERVIEW
Since the beginning of the year, flooding has affected 1.3 million people in West and Central Africa, particularly in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Gambia, Niger, Chad, Nigeria, Togo, the Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic, Guinea, Benin, Senegal, and Ghana. Heavy rainfalls, floods, and windstorms killed 248 people, injured 2,787, displaced 376,000, and destroyed 138,000 houses.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, floods have affected more than 321,000 people since the start of the year. Rains and floods also killed 22 people, injured five others, and destroyed over 46,000 houses and more than 6,000 hectares of crops.
In the Gambia, since the beginning of the rainy season, windstorms and flash floods have killed 12 people and affected 109,000. Food stock losses have been significant, while erratic rainfalls affect farming, requiring increased food security-related preparedness.
Support is also needed for the rehabilitation of major critical infrastructures such as schools and hospitals.
In Niger, torrential rainfall and floods affected more than 250,000 people and left 77 people dead. Since the start of the 2021 rainy season in June, torrential rainfall has led to the collapse of more than 21,000 houses, the destruction of more than 7,300 hectares of cultivable land, and the death of more than 10,000 livestock.
Thousands of people have been rendered homeless and vulnerable due to the loss of their livelihoods.
In Nigeria, flash floods resulting from heavy rains directly affected over 141,000 people across communities in 15 local government areas (LGAs), including the state capital of Yola. Rains and floods killed 73 people and led to the collapse of about 3,000 houses, with populations temporarily displaced and forced to take shelter in nearby locations until floodwaters receded.
In Guinea, rain and floods killed five people, injured 21 others and affected about 70,000 people, leaving more than 2,000 displaced.
Heavy rains which fell over most of the country causing flooding destroyed nearly 900 houses.

U.S. Statutes at Large
This database offers comprehensive coverage of the United States Statutes at Large, featuring every law (both public and private) ever enacted by Congress, as well as early federal codes and compilations of statutes.
Lauren Zazzara
About the U.S. Statutes at Large
Containing proclamations by the President, concurrent resolutions, and proposed and ratified constitutional amendments, the United States Statutes at Large is the official source for all laws and resolutions enacted by Congress. Public and Private laws passed by Congress are published and placed in order by the date it was enacted into law. At the end of each Congressional session, the laws and resolutions passed during that session are gathered into "session law" publications. The session law publication for United States federal statutes is known as the U.S. Statutes at Large.
HeinOnline offers a true-to-print digitized version of the entire Statutes at Large from 1789 to date, plus links to laws not yet published by the GPO, select Indian and other treaties, early federal code and compilations of statutes, and other related works.

« Romney Campaign Unprepared For Gingrich; Still Fretting Perry (Though Honestly, They Really Shouldn't Be) | Main | How Low On The Totem Pole Are Atheists? Study Claims The Religious Rank Atheists Down With Rapists »
Gingrich Camp Responds to Verum Serum Story
They break stories over there.
Gingrich says the difference between Fannie/Freddie Gingirch and today's Gingrich is the collapse itself, which has caused him to rethink the viability of the government-sponsored entity model, at least as regards mortgages and home-ownership promotion.
Which is all well and good but so what? Everyone can say that. Everyone now knows this. (Except Democrats, but they can't permit themselves to know it.)
It's perfectly understandable that one would have a different view after the crisis.
Sure, John, but it doesn't explain the soft-thinking prior to the collapse.
Sexton continues:
That said, it doesn't quite line up with his recollection at the CNBC debate, i.e. that he warned Freddie Mac their business model was impossible and insane. That seems like a little bit of retro-projection based on hindsight. The actual record reflects that he was a paid consultant and a Fannie/Freddie defender in 2007.
Eh, I guess I'm butthurt that my guy's miserable failures seem to stick so firmly in people's heads while other guy's miserable failures get a shrug.
Earlier: Newt claimed in the CNBC interview that his involvement with Fannie/Freddie was confined to telling them how insane it was to promote mortgages for people who couldn't afford them.
For those who thought, "I really doubt someone would be paid $1.6 million for such advice," congrats, it seems they got a little more than some criticism.

Explore the culture of brownies, a homebrew race for D&D 5E play.
Brownies are small fey-touched creatures, smaller even than halflings. They live in colonies in harmony with wilderness. A brownie is most often empathetic to the balance of nature without being subservient to it. They are born to three different castes (which act as subtypes). A brownie's birthmark will indicate whether they are among the mischievous Patrons, duty-bound and balance-seeking Guardians, or good-hearted Providers.

IRS Creates New "Window" to Suspend 401(k) Safe-Harbor Contributions for 2020
By Robert A. Browning
The IRS has granted additional, albeit temporary, COVID-19-related relief for sponsors of "safe-harbor" 401(k) and 403(b) plans (i.e., plans that are exempt from one or both of the ADP and ACP nondiscrimination tests). Notice 2020-52, which was issued on June 29, 2020, provides temporary relief from the current requirements for mid-year amendments to such plans, and provides additional clarification regarding mid-year amendments to safe-harbor plans that only affect highly compensated employees. This guidance is welcome relief for plan sponsors who feel the financial need to reduce or suspend employer contributions under these plans, but who may not be able to satisfy the current regulatory requirements for mid-year amendments.
SECURE ACT – Defined Benefit Plans
By Beth Miller
The Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019 (the "SECURE" Act) has broad implications for retirement plans. Although the Act's primary focus is on defined contribution plans, several provisions of the Act and its sister legislation apply only to defined benefit plans.
This is the fourth in a series of articles describing key provisions of the legislation. Our focus in this article is on the provisions applicable to defined benefit plans – in-service withdrawals, required minimum distributions, and nondiscrimination testing relief.
Treatment of "Collateral" Employees Under Retirement Plans
By Stephen Rickles
It is common for employers to contract with one or more third parties (sometimes referred to as "leasing companies") to provide individuals to perform services for the employer. Various issues may arise regarding the treatment of such individuals under a retirement plan maintained by the employer.
EEOC Releases Sample ADA Notice for Employee Wellness Programs
By Kenneth A. (Ken) Mason
In our June 2, 2016, article summarizing final wellness program regulations issued by the EEOC under Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), we noted the EEOC's promise to post on its website a sample notice by which employers could satisfy the ADA's notification requirements. The EEOC has today posted such a sample notice, along with a series of FAQs shedding further light on the notification requirement. Although employers are not required to use this sample notice, they should make sure that their notice covers all the points addressed in the EEOC sample.
New EEOC Guidance on Employee Wellness Programs
Final regulations issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") under both the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act ("GINA") will require modifications to many employee wellness programs. These modifications may include the deletion of certain questions from health risk assessments, additional employee notification requirements, and a reduction in the incentives used to discourage tobacco usage. Although certain aspects of these regulations will not apply until the first day of the 2017 plan year, others are already in effect.
Another Court Rejects EEOC Position on ADA and Wellness Programs
Following the lead of Seff v. Broward County, another federal court has disagreed with the EEOC on the scope of an ADA exemption for employee benefit plans. In EEOC v. Flambeau, Inc., the court held that this benefit-plan "safe harbor" could be used to justify a wellness program that included both a health risk assessment and a biometric screening.

Kimeme is an open platform for multi-objective optimization and multidisciplinary design optimization. It is intended to be coupled with external numerical software such as computer-aided design (CAD), finite element analysis (FEM), structural analysis and computational fluid dynamics tools. It was developed by Cyber Dyne Srl and provides both a design environment for problem definition and analysis and a software network infrastructure to distribute the computational load.

History
Cyber Dyne was founded in 2011 as a research startup to transfer the knowledge of its founders in the field of numerical optimization and computational intelligence methods into a commercial product.

Features
The problem definition workflow is based on the data flow paradigm. Multiple nodes can be interconnected to describe the data flow from the design variables to the desired objectives and constraints. Input/output nodes can be used to calculate any part of the objective(s) computation, using internal (Java, Python or Bash/Batch) or external (third-party) processes. Any of these procedures can be distributed over a LAN or the Cloud, exploiting all the available computational resources. The optimization core is open, and using the memetic computing (MC) approach, which is an extension of the concept of memetic algorithm, the user can define its own optimization algorithm as a set of independent pieces of code called "operators", or "memes". Operators can be implemented either in Java or Python.

Algorithm design
In mathematical folklore, the no free lunch theorem (sometimes pluralized) of David Wolpert and William G. Macready appears in the 1997 "No Free Lunch Theorems for Optimization."

This mathematical result states the need for a specific effort in the design of a new algorithm, tailored to the specific problem to be optimized. Kimeme allows the design and experimentation of new optimization algorithms through the new paradigm of memetic computing, a subject of computational intelligence which studies algorithmic structures composed of multiple interacting and evolving modules (memes).

Design of experiments (DoE)
Different DoE strategies are available, including random generator sequences, Factorial, Orthogonal and Iterative Techniques, as well as D-Optimal or Cross Validation. Monte Carlo and Latin hypercube are available for robustness analysis.

Sensitivity analysis
Local sensitivity as correlation coefficients and partial derivatives can be used only if the correlation between input and output is linear. If the correlation is nonlinear, the global sensitivity analysis has to be used based on a variance-relationship between input and output distribution, such as the Sobol index. With sensitivity analysis, the system complexity can be reduced and the cause-effect chain can be explained.

Multi-objective optimization
In the development process of technical products, there are usually several evaluation goals or criteria to be met, e.g. low cost, high quality, low noise etc. These criteria often conflict with each other, in the sense that the minimization of one entails the maximization of at least another one. Design parameters have to be found in order to find the best trade-off among multiple criteria. Unlike the single-objective case, in multi-objective optimization there is not a unique solution, but rather a front of Pareto optimal solutions. Multi-objective optimization aims at finding the Pareto optimal solutions automatically.

Q: Symfony - use Command to run Phing task When I try to run that phing command: bin/phing clear_cache_action from a console, everything works.  Unfortunately, when I try to run the same command from the controller in the Symfony project I get an error.
That my code:
    public function clearAction()
    {
        $process = new Process('bin/phing clear_cache_action');
        $process->run();

        if (!$process->isSuccessful()) {
            throw new ProcessFailedException($process);
        }

        echo $process->getOutput();
    }

Symfony returns me that error:
The command "bin/phing clear_cache_action" failed.

Exit Code: 127(Command not found)

Working directory: /var/www/caolin/web

Output:
================

Error Output:
================
sh: 1: bin/phing: not found

Linux commands e.g. 'ls' works properly.
How can I run phing command from code?

A: I guess you are trying to execute phing from a Controller. Thus Working directory: /var/www/caolin/web instead of /var/www/caolin causes resolving bin/phing to /var/www/caolin/web/bin/phing which does not exist. You should set your current working directory to %kernel.project_dir%:
$process = new Process(
    ['bin/phing', 'clear_cache_action'],
    $this->getParameter('kernel.project_dir')
);
$process->run();

However, I would not recommend starting a process from a Controller unless you are really sure what you are doing.

Bayern Munich went top of the Bundesliga with Kingsley Coman double handing the Bavarians a 4-1 win over Fortuna Dusseldorf.
Coman gave Bayern the lead with some luck with his cross into the penalty box curling into the back of the net with the aid of Thomas Muller whose attempt put off the keeper to roll in with a quarter of an hour gone.
Bayern had to wait for the second with Joshua Kimmich providing the breakthrough with an overlapping run on the left wing and cut the ball from the byline for Coman to sidefoot into the top right corner on 41 minutes.
It was more of the same in the second half as Thiago Alcantara corner was met Müller's flick for Serge Gnabry to tap the easiest of goals at the far post on 55 minutes.
Dusseldorf hat trick hero in the surprise first-leg Dodi Lukebakio scored Fortuna's late consolation from the penalty spot before substitute Leon Goretzka added a fourth for Bayern from close range in stoppage time.

Ethiopians for Constitutional Monarchy
The Solomonic Bloodline Continues
Letters from Supporters
The Monarchy: An Institution That Can Unite All Ethiopians
Published on : May 14, 2019 May 21, 2019 by Dr. Gizachew Tiruneh
The political reforms being brought about by Dr. Abiy Ahmed, the new Prime Minister of Ethiopia, including the presence of relative political openness and freedom, are encouraging. Indeed, while many of the organized political groups are advocating for differing versions of political structures (ex: unitary, federal, or a mix of the two), they all seem to have a common interest in a democratic political system. However, few seem to be calling for the restoration of the monarchy, an institution that has long been part of the country's tradition and history. From its legendary origin of Queen Makeda and King Solomon to its likely root of the Damot (or Damat) kingdom of ancient Ethiopia and to its successor states centered in Tigray and Shoa, the history of the Solomonic dynasty had long been associated with the history of Ethiopia. This age-old monarchy, if restored, may help to maintain and foster national unity.
In his study of democracy, Seymour Martin Lipset (1959) observed that of the 12 democratic countries of the time, ten had monarchies as heads of states. These democracies were located mostly in Western Europe and included Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. Lipset argued that the democratic regimes in Western Europe acquired legitimacy because they preserved the traditional monarchies as head of states, which had the support of the conservative groups including the aristocracy, landlords, and the clergy. Consequently, constitutional monarchies, according to Lipset, have helped to legitimize the democratic system by fostering unity among diverse groups, the groups of the past (conservatives) and of the present (progressives).
In the case of Ethiopia, the revolution ended Emperor Haile Selassie's reign due to its failure to make political and socioeconomic reforms. The aristocracy is also gone, either it was killed during the revolution, died out of age, or could not maintain its status. The landlord class has also been wiped out by the revolution. The only conservative institution remaining from the old order is the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Prior revolutions have also ended monarchies in France (1789), Russia (1917), and China (1911) for similar reasons. Yet the end of the Solomonic dynasty may not be a foregone conclusion. As Arnold Toynbee has argued, Ethiopia has been more of a peculiar country. For instance, it was the only country that had avoided European colonialism in Africa (save Liberia). It was also the only country in the northeast Africa that preserved its Monophysite Christianity by avoiding Islamic Jihad in the seventh century A.D. We might also add that the Solomonic dynasty was restored in 1270 A.D. after having been interrupted by the Zagwe rulers between the 11th and 13th centuries. The dynasty was also re-restored in 1855 after giving way to the era of the princes lasting for about 68 years. Will history repeat itself? Will the weight of Ethiopia's long and rich history sway the opinions of all or most Ethiopians to seek the restoration of the monarchy one more time?
Should there be a popular interest in it, the Solomonic dynasty could be restored in Ethiopia as a national constitutional monarchy, for absolute autocratic systems are increasingly becoming a thing of the past. The principal function of a constitutional monarchy would be to serve as a symbol of national unity and would only have ceremonial duties. Indeed, the only way one can make the monarchy compatible with modern ideas of equality and liberty (also known as democracy) is to make sure that it is constitutional and that it is involved very little, if at all, in day-to-day politics. Such an institution may not need an 'emperor' but a 'king', for the former implies the presence of an empire or more than one king in the country.
It may be anticipated, however, that some Ethiopians or groups are opposed to the return of the Solomonic monarchy. For instance, they may believe that the time of the monarchy has gone. Given the revolutionary upheaval that the country had to go through between 1974 and 1991 and the popularity of modern republics, these individuals and groups may not see the need for restoring the monarchy. However, the political history of the country since 1974 suggests that republican Ethiopia has not been without major, if not catastrophic, problems. During the Derg regime, hundreds of thousands of Ethiopians had died and a generation of intellectuals was lost. Under EPRDF, Ethiopian unity has been at stake and in danger. Regional and ethnic identities are increasingly becoming more important than the overarching Ethiopian nationalism.
In addition, some groups from ethnic groups like the Oromo may feel that the Solomonic monarchy may not represent the cultural values of all of the Ethiopian people. It is true that the dynasty has been historically associated with the Amhara and Tigrean peoples of north central Ethiopia. Yet there had been marriages between the Solomonic line of rulers and people belonging to the Oromo ethnic group from as far back as 300 years ago. Emperor Bekaffa, who ruled Ethiopia between 1721 and 1730 and from the Solomonic line of rulers, is believed to have married an Oromo. The couple's son, Emperor Iyasu II (1730-1755), was also married to an Oromo. More recently, Emperor Haile Selassie's wife, Empress Menen Asfaw, was partly an Oromo. She was the granddaughter of Nigus Michael (formerly Muhammed Ali).
Emperor Haile Selassie himself is believed to have an Oromo blood on his father and mother sides. His paternal grandfather is believed to be Fitawrari Wolde Mikael Gudessa. And his maternal grandfather was Dejazmach Ali Aba Jifar. Moreover, Emperor Haile Selassie's granddaughter, Princess Seble Desta, was married to an Oromo, Dejazmach Kassa Wolde Mariam. And Prince Sahile Selassie, Emperor Haile Selassie's son, was married to an Oromo, Princess Matsente Habte Mariam. In other words, the Oromo have every right to claim and nurture the Solomonic dynasty. As Donald Levine has aptly put it, Ethiopia is an evolving multiethnic society, and the Oromo have been instrumental in such an evolution.
Moreover, the religion of the Solomonic line of rulers had been Christianity. So, would Ethiopian Muslims support the restoration of the monarchy? The Solomonic line of rulers and the leaders of Muslim kingdoms and principalities in Ethiopia, of course, had had a long history of conflict and peaceful coexistence in the country. For instance, when medieval Ethiopian rulers, such as Emperor Amde Tsion I (1314-1334), realized that the Adal (or Afar) Muslims were too proud and brave to be completely subdued, they had to give them regional autonomy. In addition, whenever Ethiopia needed new bishops from Alexandria, Egyptian sultans had consistently encouraged medieval Ethiopian emperors to respect the religious rights of Ethiopian Muslims. The Ethiopian emperors had often consented to do so.
More importantly, it should be noted that ordinary Ethiopian Christians and Muslims have shown extraordinary civility and tolerance to each other over a long period of time. This is especially true since the turn of the twentieth century. Still, it is an open question as to how Ethiopian Muslims would feel with the idea of restoring the Solomonic dynasty. One thing is true: there has to be religious freedom in Ethiopia for the monarchy, if restored, to be accepted by diverse religious groups in the country.
Now, it is only fitting to repeat Dr. Getachew Mekasha's advice stated in his 1991 essay published in Ethiopian Review. In his wisely titled essay, The True Test for Democracy Still Ahead, Dr. Getachew argued that if democracy was to exist in Ethiopia right after the fall of the Derg regime, the monarchy needed to be restored. Of course, Dr. Getachew's advice was not heeded at the time. It may not be too late now, however.
If the Solomonic dynasty is restored, the monarchy will likely be an asset, not a liability, to the Ethiopian people. Specifically, the Solomonic line of rulers could serve as unifying symbols and father figures of the country's diverse peoples. As cultural and historical figures to look up to, the monarchs could also help to revitalize the increasingly declining traditional Ethiopian values, such as trust, decency, and respect. Moreover, the monarchy could provide legitimacy to the political system of the country. This is especially true if the political system of Ethiopia is democratic.

The "American Taliban," John Walker Lindh, won a legal fight to allow him and fellow Muslim prisoners to gather for group prayer. Read the full story from CNN here. According to CNN, a federal judge ruled last week that the warden at the federal prison in Terre Haute, IN, was violating Lindh's rights by not allowing the religious freedom.
YouTube was banned in Iran in 2009, though many Iranians still use the site by bypassing Internet filters. Iran has now launched its own version of YouTube called Mehr, according to a story by Irish Independent (12/10). This video sharing site is "in full adherence with its strict interpretation of Islam" and is run by state broadcaster IRIB (Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting). Read more about the hows and whys here.

"Wild salmon run in cold northern seas and offer omega-3 fatty acids, which have beneficial properties. Wild salmon have no added chemicals, antibiotics, preservatives, growth hormones, or GMOs. According to Alaska's Department of Health and Social Services, wild fish with lower levels of mercury include wild Alaska salmon, black cod, herring, and sardines. Alaskan salmon run in the purest waters and have the cleanest runs on the planet. Alaskas wild salmon's levels of mercury are low, but pregnant women should research consumption guidelines. Although wild Alaska salmon may be more expensive than farm-raised salmon, the health benefits of wild Alaskan salmon far outweigh the cost.
Is farm-raised salmon safe to eat? Maybe, maybe not. Aquaculture is the practice of raising fish in pens for human consumption. With problems that resemble those associated with factory farming, fish farms present multiple health dangers. While some people think that fish farming helps to preserve fish that are threatened or endangered, people do not know that fish farming does not protect wild fish and is its own threat to the environment.
Thank you for your comment. It is always best to have fully informed before making a purchases.

The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), in the Office ofthe Secretary for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is the principal Federal organization charged with coordinating national efforts related to the implementation and use of electronic health information exchange. By encouraging providers to adopt health information technology (health IT), both the quality of care and the efficiency with which it is delivered can be improved. Health IT use and adoption is the effective integration of health information products and services that support safer, better health and care. A key ONC role iscoordinating the public and private-sector efforts to improve the quality of health and care through information technology.
A Nation in which the health and well-being of individuals and communities are enabled by health information technology.
ONC leads, coordinates, and stimulates public and private sector activities that promote the development, adoption, and use of health information technologies to achieve a healthier Nation.
ONC provides leadership, program resources and services needed to guide nationwide implementation of interoperable health IT. ONC organizes its activities in four program areas:
• Standards – Standards in health IT-related systems, State-level business policies, and across Federal agencies are important components for achieving nationwide adoption of interoperable health IT. Implementation of common standards allows software applications to work together. Certifying health IT products that incorporate these standards gives assurance that products will be able to work together. Consistent business policies and practices for health information exchange organizations will enable interoperability andsustainability. Coordinating Federal efforts optimizes resources and increases information exchange among Federal and private health care systems.
• Privacy and Security – Careful attention to privacy and security policies to guide evolving technologies will help to build the high degree of public confidence and trust needed to achieve adoption and use of health IT. In addition to developing a privacy and security framework, continuing work identifies disparate State policies and business practices that impede electronic health information exchange across jurisdictional lines.
• Architecture and Adoption – The Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN) is building on a set of technical and data exchange standards and specifications, and data use and reciprocal support agreements. The NHIN also provides the foundation for population health information exchange, which is important to all aspects of public health. Substantiating the value of electronic and personal health record systems and identifying enablers and barriers to their use and implementation will advance adoption of health IT. Regularly assessing the adoption rate through surveys and studies will monitor progress toward ONC's goals.
• Operations – Support for administrative, financial and reporting requirements for ONC including planning, procurement, and performance measurement activities.
The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (Recovery Act) was signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 2009. It is an unprecedented effort to jumpstart our economy, create or save millions of jobs, and put a down payment on addressing long-neglected challenges so our country can thrive in the 21st century. The Act is an extraordinary response to a crisis unlike any other since the Great Depression, and includes measures to modernize our Nation's infrastructure, enhance energy independence, expand educational opportunities, preserve and improve affordable health care, provide tax relief, and protect those in greatest need.
The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology has received $2 billion in total of Recovery Act funding. As part of this total, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Regional Extension Centers and Department efforts to address privacy and security will receive funding in FY 2009. Funding for additional programs in FY 2009 will be determined with the arrival of the new National Coordinator for Health Information Technology.
The Recovery Act instructed the Secretary to transfer $20 million to NIST. These funds will support coordinated efforts between NIST and ONC to advance health care information enterprise integration. Work will focus in areas such as conducting technical standards analysis and establishing a conformance testing infrastructure for electronic health record products. The coordination of this work will increase the adoption rate and use of health IT by making available tested and recognized standards and an infrastructure that will allow vendors to test their products for interoperability prior to going to market.
ONC is developing a program that will support local and regional efforts toward health information exchange. A draft plan to establish Health IT Regional Extension Centers will be published on May 18, 2009. These centers will provide health information technology assistance and services and increase the level of adoption by providing a resource for new users of health IT that will help them with implementing and maintaining their systems.
In addition, a robust program addressing the Privacy and Security concerns related to adoption and use of health IT was initiated in FY 2009. This program will coordinate activities with the HHS Office of Civil Rights, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. These organizations will work together topromulgate regulations and guidance, enhance enforcement of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy and Security Rules, carry out mandated audits and train States Attorney Generals in enforcing the modified regulations. More information on these and other Recovery Act programs can be found at www.hhs.gov/recovery
FY 2010 Budget Overview
The FY 2010 President's Budget for ONC is $61,342,000 including $19,011,000 in Public Health Evaluation Funds to maintain current service levels. It is an increase of $111,000 above an FY 2009 Omnibus level. This budget supports the implementation of the ONC-Coordinated Federal Health IT Strategic Plan and planned revision, and the HHS Strategic Plan, Goal 1.3:improve health care quality, safety, cost and value.
Program Increases:
Operations (+$6,122,000). This increase will provide for infrastructure support and additional term and permanentstaff to fulfill the requirements of the Recovery Act.
Architecture and Adoption (+$1,439,000). The Recovery Act provides funding for projects such as the Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN). The FY 2010 request ($23,250,000) will support development of additional performance measures, work needed to identify the best way to structure consumer-directed access to electronic medical data in a health information exchange, the Health Information Technology Policy Committee and policy-related work that will inform and encourage adoption of health IT.
Program Decreases:
Standards (-$5,500,000) The Recovery Act provides funding for projects such as certification and standards harmonization. The FY 2010 requested level of funding ($8,500,000) will support these efforts, provide support for the Health Information Technology Standards Committee,and establish and implement the required NHIN Governance activities.

"It's beautiful! wow! I feel like a bird!" were just some of the amazin' superlatives used by various punters at the Autumn ects (European Computer Trade Show) held last September when they stepped into the cockpit of Looking Glass Technologies' fab new flight sim Flight Unlimited.
To say it is graphically superior to anything ever seen before is a bit of an understatement (as the screenshots will testify) and it handles, as one bloke - claiming to be a pilot - who was standing agog waiting for a go with the Forte vfx1 vr head unit, "Just like the real thing." - though he could, of course, have been a plant taking a break from the Paul McKenna show.
As well as looking totally whizzo in the visuals department, the simulation is said to be the most advanced and realistic to date, with different planes to fly (ranging from gliders to stunt planes), each with their own handling characteristics and a number of acrobatic moves to master. The game also features a "tutor" mode that teaches the pilot how to fly and indulge in various aerobatic manoeuvres. Although the flying area is quite small (at around six square miles) it is on a continuous loop to make sure you don't run out of sky. There is also the option to link up via a modem and fly with friends.
A combat version is planned for release early next year for those who get bored unless there's something to shoot at. Until then you'll have to be content with looping the loop and saying "WOW!" every time you play it.

Operating systems: Windows 10/Windows 8/Windows 7/2000/Vista/WinXP
The flight sim that has all the PC pilots panting is Flight Unlimited. Take this one-player graphical beauty skyward and you'll know what it means to soar like a bird. But don't expect to target enemies or to undertake missions: Flight Unlimited is the aerobatic pilot's flight sim.
In Flight, you get your choice of aerobatic planes, including a glider. Like an armchair barnstormer, your only purpose is to fly stunts of increasing difficulty above breathtakingly beautiful 3D photorealistic terrain. You're rewarded with extraordinary internal and external views, as well as an instant replay of your stunt. Flight has a 3D cockpit with working instruments that adds to the game's realism.
Well, OK, Flight Unlimited isn't exactly a game. I mean, you don't get to solve any mysteries, take on any intergalactic conspiracies, dodge flaming rockets, or blow anything up, but it's still cool. Very cool, in fact. "C'mon," I can hear you saying, "it's just a flight simulator. Those are boring at best." Au contraire. Fly it and see. Basically, for anybody who wants a break from the vast crop of -- let's face it -- all-too-often mundane games out there, or who has ever been fascinated with the amazing view of the earth miles below from an airplane window, this is your chance to get an entirely new experience from your computer. This isn't just a flight simulator -- it's pretty damned close to flying. The graphics are superb, photo-realistic images that have been sewn together by Looking Glass Studios so that instead of blocky, polygon, "oh, is that supposed to be a mountain?" graphics, you get, say, Sedona, Arizona, right down to the individual housing developments, rural roads, and dusty landing strips. And you get to buzz around Sedona (or Maine, France, Florida, Germany, California, Glacier, etc. -- all of which are included, plus 3 or 4 more locations) in one of four stunt planes or a sleek soaring glider, all of which behave with excellent accuracy and a wide variation from plane to plane -- one of many features which makes this sim a great value.
Controls/Interface
Excellent and intuitive ... everything, and I mean everything, is straightforward and usually as easy as a click on an icon or a walk through the virtual flying center that allows you to select from a group of scale model planes to pick your real one, walk over to the chalkboard for a flying lesson, or spin the globe to bring up a map of locales around the world from which you can take off into the wild blue yonder.
Wow. I mean, look at these screenshots! Does this look like your father's flight simulator? See anything blocky? Me neither. Ever. But this also means that it's time for a reality check on your video card capabilities; while Flight Unlimited ran decently even in hi-res, 1024x768 full-screen mode, it did have a noticeable decrease in performance when running with the control panel and side views turned on. Still, in all the screenshots in this review, it ran well enough always to maintain a sense of realism and satisfaction -- largely due to Windows 95's ability to cache video memory. I would definitely recommend doing a gut check on your video capabilities before buying this (or any other flight sim these days), but if you can run it, get Flight Unlimited first (unless, of course you want to enjoy other flying sims or games first -- you'll be spoiled once you take the yoke on one of Flight Unlimited's planes.
Perfect -- from the throaty growl on the Sukoi's engine firing to life to the ghostly sound of the wind running over the ailerons on the glider, the sound in Flight Unlimited did every justice to actually being there.
Inside the plane, outside the plane, watching from the ground as you soar overhead, circling chase camera -- you name it, Flight Unlimited has not only a dozen different viewpoints from which to fly, but a number of realism factors which you can easily set both on the ground and while in flight -- a fantastic touch that allows you to have complete control over your flight at all times. Everything from G-forces to sun glare to wind speed, tensile strength of your plane, etc., can be adjusted. You can even hit the TAB key for a miraculous second chance after plummeting a bit too close to the earth while trying for that third loop at the end of your aerobatic maneuvering. Plus there's a video recorder option that lets you record and edit every flight you take.
486 DX2/66, 8 MB RAM, 2X CD-ROM drive, mouse, SVGA video, sound card, 32 MB HD space
Recommended:486 DX4/100 or higher, 16 MB RAM, 4X CD-ROM drive, joystick, SVGA video.
Reviewed on: Pentium 75, 32 MB RAM, 4X CD-ROM drive, SideWinder Pro, ATI Mach 64, SoundBlaster AWE 32
The folks at Looking Glass have got this one exactly right. If you even think you might be ready to check out the new generation of flight sims, you really owe it to yourself to take a look at Flight Unlimited. But once you look, you'll want to fly, and once you fly, you'll be hooked. Like I said, it's not a game per se, but it is an absolutely first-rate sim -- well conceived, designed, and executed. Score it a 94 -- best of its genre, hands down. If they figure out a way to do the (nearly) impossible and make it fly smoothly at 1024x768, I'd give it a 100.

A mantelpiece is usually the heart of the home. It's your one opportunity to wow people when they enter the room, so if you get it wrong, or don't bother with it at all, it's a mega missed chance.
The beauty of having a mantelpiece or fireplace which I'll go into below, is the versatility you have. Nothing has to stay the same and you can change it with some simple foliage or flowers to reflect every time of year. Winter garlands for Christmas, twigs and orange leaved branches for autumn, or a vase of peonies in late Spring.
Below I'm sharing 3 foolproof ways you can make your mantelpiece stun people, all ideas are renter friendly too... bonus!
I'd say if you've just moved in, or if you're new to decorating and aren't as brave as you'd like to be (nothing to be ashamed of, we all have to start somewhere!) this style is a fantastic place to start.
Make sure your art work is roughly 3/4s of the width of your mantelpiece so it will anchor the fireplace and won't look too small and pathetic.
If you're renting, use 3D Command strips for nail free hanging.
If you're strapped for cash (large works of art can be bloody expensive!) try buying the right size canvas for the wall and choose your favourite print wallpaper to paste over it and create your own work of art.
Then, add depth to the look with candlesticks, vases or trinkets that will soften up the harsh edges of the frame.
For the more experimental decorator, and ideal for people that want a new look on their mantelpiece with a more eclectic vibe, lean various sized artwork in front of each other.
If you're lucky enough to have a period chandelier in your living room, this look would complete the room. A gilt or wooden ornate mirror that's large enough to fit the mantelpiece end to end gives a traditional feel without having to think too much about styling.
The mirrors reflective elements mean that if you're in a rented flat with limited space, it'll open it up and make the room feel bigger.
I'd add traditional props with this if it's too simple for your taste. Think classic clocks, candelabras and thick garlands representative of each season.
Mahogany framed mantelpiece mirror from Oak furniture Gold spray paint to give the mirror a gilt effect Newgate mantelpiece clock from Amara Any of these looks are great, but I think the biggest tip to point out is... don't go for art or objects too small! It will look and feel a bit pathetic. You want grand and statement!
That's it. Hope you enjoyed my styling tips.

Denny was one-of-a-kind. He was a true gentleman but sure knew how to be a great boss and run a tight, successful ship. He was optimistic, compassionate, loyal, generous, and always smiling. He certainly left a beautiful mark on Lake Placid and will always be fondly remembered.
Coached Denny at St. Lawrence University - good friends since then. Shocked & deeply saddened by his passing. Denny was a very special person who truly made our North Country a better place. With his passing we all need to step up.
It's impossible to imagine Lake Placid and the Olympic Center without Denny. He was a pillar. He made it all happen - everything and anything - with kindness and grace. Denny, and his father before him, were constants in my skating life and the memories of them both, during times training as a child, and later launching shows, run deep. I'm now especially grateful to have reconnected with Denny for Katia Gordeeva's 'From the Heart' just a few years ago. He was such a good man. My sincere condolences to his family.
I'm shocked and saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Denny. He was such a kind man. Lake Placid will not be the same without him. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
I'm very sorry and shocked to hear of Denny's passing. What a great man and friend. I'll never forget all the games we officiated and your great sense of humor. You lived a lifetime of service and led by example. I am very proud to call you my friend! My sincere condolences to his family. A great man who will be greatly missed.
Denny, I was shocked to learn of your passing and have no words to express the heart break. I have so many wonderful memories while we live next door as neighbors on good old Old Military Road. Now you can join the rest of the Lake Placid crew in Heaven and like them, be OUR Guardian Angles from above. The Village has truly lost an icon that can never be replace. Your Family, Friends, any and all who know you will always treasure you and have beautiful memories. Yes it is sad that you have passed but I believe that we celebrate your life instead of morning, I know you would not want everyone to be sad. Rest Well Denny Allen, until we meet again. Godspeed!!
The gang in 1965. Rick Clark. Denny Allen. Brian Gill. How things looked before the horse show.
The "shack" was their place!
Denny & Rick. 1965 baseball card.
1965. Denny Debbie & Darcy with Rick Mary & Pam Clark. Such wonderful neighbors & friends!
So sorry to hear to hear about Denny As a former member of The ORDA board , I got to know Denny as an outstanding member of Our team and a person beloved and esteemed by The Lake Placid Community. Godspeed to you lad, I know you are in a good place.
Karen, Helena, and Family: My heart is heavy and my thoughts are with you. I will truly miss him. He was a mentor and a friend. He always was there with a kind word of encouragement and a listening ear. I will miss our talks. I was very glad I was able to work with him again these past 3 years. He touched so many lives and always helped those who needed it. God Speed my friend and mentor, Say hello to BP for me.
Denny, you and your family are Lake Placid! I have been coming to Lake Placid for 54 years with an Allen there at all times! You will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace my friend!
Denny was a very kind and big hearted guy. I enjoyed working for him in my youth. I always looked forward to seeing him around the village. Over the years I have shared 1000 laughs with him. I will miss him a lot. My condolences to his family and friends!!
So sorry to hear of Denny's passing. Whenever I've visited LP over the years I would never really feel I was back in town until I ran into Denny at the Olympic Center. However busy he was (and he was always busy) he would take a moment to say hello and see how you were doing. Condolences to the Allen family, Denny will be greatly missed.
This is quite a shock - I worked with Denny on the Lake Placid Celebration of the Arts in 2011 and his insight, enthusiasm and generosity – especially suggesting that we hold our Savoy Brown/Ghislain Dion concert in the '32 arena – was a high point. So sorry to hear about his death .. May he rest in eternal love and may his family be comforted by the fact that he was so well-loved and respected.
Terrible news about this fine gentleman passing from our midst at a much too youthful age. His retirement was way too brief as he had wonderful plans to continue serving the community he loved. There is good news though as he joins his mother and father in eternal peace and life. A remarkable family serving selfishly has left a positive mark on Lake Placid. Privileged to have known Denny and his folks just as my folks did.
I have great memories of working with Denny over the years that I served as Camp Director at many USA Hockey Summer Development and Summer National Junior Camps. He was always around to make sure that everything was OK in the arena, including the Sauna. Great guy, big heart, he really cared about the Olympic Center and Lake Placid. My condolences to his family.
Darcy and family I offer you my most sincere condolences with passing of Denny. So very sad and unexpected. We go way back and memories are precious!!! God bless u all!!
Karen, So sorry for your loss. You know of the fondness I had for Denny. He was a kind, gentle, compassionate person who went out of his way to help. The world lost a great man.

Local Water Guardians: The Water Sellers
Laban spends his days overseeing the local water point as community members fetch water. He is the water seller and caretaker of the local hand pump.
At water points dotted throughout the rolling hills of Kamwenge District in Uganda, Water For People's Water As A Business model employs water sellers like Laban. They are responsible for maintenance of water points, and they enforce the "pay as you fetch" policy, which means community members pay for the water they collect – a key part of ensuring hand pumps keep working for years to come. Laban became a water seller in 2014, after Water For People and the local government supported the rehabilitation of dozens of wells in Kamwenge.
Every bright yellow jerry can filled with water means a payment of three cents to Laban, and is recorded carefully in his ledger. This fee covers Laban's salary, payment for the water entrepreneur who manages the water system, and maintenance and eventual replacement of the hand pump. But Laban does more than collect money and maintain the water point – he also makes sure jerry cans are clean, preventing any illnesses from contaminated containers.
"They have to clean their jerry cans whenever they come and fetch," Laban says. "If someone comes with a dirty jerry can, I tell him to wash it first before he fetches water."
Laban also maintains a garden next to the hand pump, where he cultivates vegetables using the runoff water. He is the local guardian of the water, making sure none is wasted.
Selling water has become Laban's main source of income, allowing him to buy a plot of land for his family and pay school fees for his three sons, ages 12, 8, and 3. He is also able to invest some of his earnings in a village savings group so his income can multiply. For Laban and his wife and children, the Water As A Business program has provided stability. He takes pride in providing for his family, but also for the wellbeing of his entire community as he maintains and protects their water point.
To create jobs and empower entrepreneurs like Laban – Just Add water.
With your generous support, thousands of people in developing countries will gain access to safe water and improved sanitation – giving them hope for a better future.
