Ehud Olmert: Former Israeli Prime Minister Sentenced to 8 Months in Jail
Former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert has been sentenced to eight months in jail for fraud and breach of trust, a Jerusalem court rules.
Ehud Olmert was convicted at a retrial in March of accepting illegal payments from an American businessman while he served as mayor of Jerusalem and trade minister.
In 2014, Ehud Olmert was sentenced to six years in prison for accepting bribes.
Ehud Olmert has denied any wrongdoing and will remain free until his appeals against both convictions are heard.
A Supreme Court decision on the first appeal is expected in the next couple of months.
If he is unsuccessful, Ehud Olmert will become the first former head of government in Israel to be jailed.
Ehud Olmert served as Israel's prime minister from 2006 to 2009.
He was forced to resign amid a flurry corruption allegations, which ended his political career and disrupted the peace process with the Palestinians.
In 2012, Ehud Olmert was acquitted of fraud, concealing fraudulent earnings and breach of trust in connection with donations received from a New York-based financier, Morris Talansky between 1997 and 2005.
However, a retrial was ordered after a former aide, Shula Zaken, accepted a plea bargain and testified against Ehud Olmert. Shula Zaken gave prosecutors diary entries and tape recordings of conversations in which Ehud Olmert referred to receiving the money.
Ehud Olmert, 69, was found guilty of fraud and breach of trust in March and on May 25 was sentenced to eight months in jail. He was also given a suspended sentence of an additional eight months and fined 100,000 shekels ($25,000).
The Jerusalem District Court said the sentence recognized Ehud Olmert's contributions to Israeli society, but noted that "a black flag hovers over his conduct".
Ehud Olmert's lawyer Eyal Rozovsky said they were "very disappointed" by the sentence.
The former prime minister has always insisted that he is innocent and has described the allegations against him as "a brutal, ruthless witch-hunt".
He is also appealing against the six-year sentence he was given in May 2014 in connection with a real estate deal at took place when he was mayor of Jerusalem in the 1990s.
Ehud Olmert was convicted of accepting bribes in return for speeding up a controversial residential development, known as Holyland, in Jerusalem.

Day One: U.S. Airstrikes on North Korea.
Bob Jenkins owned three Taco Bell franchises in the Dubuque, Iowa area. One of them was the largest grossing restaurant in that district. Despite his success as an entrepreneur Jenkins was oddly tech adverse, which is why it surprised him when his wife Trudy bought him a Garmin GPS for his car last Christmas. It took him a month to put the thing in his car, and nearly an hour of sitting in the front seat to work through the "Quick Start" guide. Then, after initializing the unit, he drove around his subdivision at 15 MPH watching his position change on the moving map display. Since then he was hooked.
This morning, when he started the car, he found it frustrating that the GPS actually showed his car's current position as over 30 miles away somewhere near Waukegan. How long was the warranty on this damn thing? Jenkins backed his Ford down the driveway somewhat smug in his disdain for technology and turned on the radio. His favorite preset was NPR. The President was holding a press conference. Jenkins drove four houses down the block on the way to his office. Then he stopped quite suddenly and pulled over.
"Jesus fucking Christ just don't look up." Captain Ron Davis, USAF, knew two things: He would die tonight and his entire existence was focused on getting his weapons on target before he did. Molten projectiles of red-hot lead crisscrossed in front of his canopy as his F-16C hurtled down the valley at 150 feet AGL and over 400 knots indicated. The ride was bumpy. His oxygen mask didn't seem to fit right anymore. He realized it was because he was sweating so much it slid slightly on his face.
He passed his initial point almost immediately and was on the run-in to his primary target, a North Korean command and control bunker just north of the artillery positions that could pound Seoul to the south. The bunker was largely subterranean, meaning his initial strike with two 1000-pound bombs would not be entirely effective, but might buy some time. It was expensive time though and would likely cost an F-16 and its pilot. In the callous accounting of war this target was worth the price. Intelligence indicated this bunker transferred targeting data to forward line rocket and artillery batteries to correct fire after initial bomb damage assessment reports. The facility relied heavily on GPS data for targeting. For some reason that data now seemed to be indicating erratic positions for secondary targets, almost as though the stationary targets were moving. The North Koreans quickly shifted back to manual map templates for fire control of the second salvo of rocket and artillery strikes. The delay in doing so was only a few minutes, and that was all the first wave of American strike aircraft needed.
Capt. Davis' weapons' release computer slewed to the target and traced a line on his HUD to the best release point. He would execute a tactical pull-up to release altitude, roll inverted at the top of the hump, pull the side stick back to bring the nose back down, roll wings level and pickle the weapons. Then he would hit the 'burners, dive for the deck and attempt to egress the target area if his F-16 hadn't been hit by automatic anti-aircraft fire or one of the surface to air missiles that seemed to trace the black night every few seconds. The attack would take about nine seconds, the longest and probably last nine seconds of his life. Davis reached the pitch-up to release point and hauled hard on the side stick, which didn't really move much but sensed the pilot's hand pressure on the stick to determine the control responses of the aircraft. His G-suit inflated as the crush of gravity pinned him into his semi-reclined ACES 2 ejection seat. The Viper began a precise climb as ground defense radars lit up with his sudden appearance. In only seconds an SA-2 Guideline surface to air missile left its launch rail and arced into the sky. The Guideline was an old missile that had plagued American pilots during the Vietnam conflict. The primary tactic to defeat the Guideline, or "flying telephone pole" was to rapidly dive below it. In about three more seconds Davis could do that. In the mean time the chafe and flare dispensers were set to automatic and ejected a flurry of foil-like radar reflective countermeasure strips and a bright fan of white-hot magnesium flares to confuse any infra-red guided anti-aircraft or air-to-air missiles. At the top of the climb Davis snapped the Viper upside down and hauled back, then almost instantly half rolled to wings level. He picked up the target in his HUD and made small adjustments to be sure the "piper" was lined up right, then he hit his release switch and the aircraft shuddered slightly as two tons of high explosives fell from under his wings. His cockpit illuminated briefly from the exhaust plume of the SA-2 missile passing overhead. Another instant passed and the missile detonated, barely overshooting Major Davis' Viper and missing him only slightly. He advanced the throttles to the afterburner range and the plane dived back down to relative safety. In another couple of seconds he exited the end of the canyon and hauled hard right, remember a statistic from weapons school that said over half of strike pilots pulled off target to the left, a fact that anti-aircraft crews knew too. Against all odds he had survived this first desperate, critical strike.
Inside the North Korean artillery fire control bunker the equipment remained largely intact. The crew serving it, much less so. The receiving end of any air strike is a gruesome scene, and despite being built into a rock mountain and largely concealed this bunker had sustained significant damage and even more significant casualties. The first of Major Davis' 1000-pound bombs hit the primary opening to the bunker facility. Blast doors were closed but a resultant overpressure produced a concussive shock wave that, near the corners of the room, fractured skulls and snapped bones from the wave of energy. Instruments near the walls were damaged. The second bomb hit the top of the bunker, built to survive such an impact. The energy transmitted through the rock severed some communications links but more oddly, ruptured plumbing pipes that carried fresh water and sewerage into and out of the bunker. Water and filth sprayed into the bunker from the roof, shorting out more electronics and most lighting systems. Some small fires started, triggering an automatic fire extinguishing system. While the bunker remained entirely intact everyone inside was at least disoriented, some dead and most wounded. In short, their effectiveness had been compromised. Davis' strike appeared ineffective from outside the bunker, but it would be several hours before the facility could regain command and control of its artillery and missile batteries.
Warfare is often a series of efforts to buy time, and Davis' airstrike along with others going on simultaneously along the border area had just bought critical time. During that time heavy bombers would be within range to strike with their air launched cruise missiles. Then the battle would truly be joined.

The laughing eyes and more laughter & smiles; the sliding right past the place where secrets live – perfect.
What a romantic post! You captured the way every woman wishes she was seen … and wondered about.
that grabbed me. it's as if she can never really be known, that even to herself she must be a mystery. i doubt it is possible to fully map someone, especially since we all are constantly changing. but, that is the draw, isn't it? ceaseless discovery, ceaselessly finding more and more to be enthralled by.
truly an appeal to the romantic.
Hot dog! This is awesome. I loved "almost in love with her". That attitude pervades the whole piece so that it's clear that while her enigma is attracting, it's also an obstacle to any kind of long-term relationship.
I liked the opening that he was almost in love with her. That entire next-to-the-last paragraph was so descriptive. Nice!
Beautiful – I love the description of her; his attempts to understand her; his realization that he never quite will.
You've captured the essence of 'enigma' beautifully in this piece.
I'd love to be seen this way:) Well done!
Love the line about communion with a god he barely knew. And I loved how the entire piece was like an enigma – did he love her, did he know himself, is she a mystery to herself? Interesting.
Thanks for linking up. Be sure to come back and see us for the next prompt.
You set this up so well with that dynamite opening line and then pursued the idea to the end. That he struggled in vain to understand her, only to realize she possibly didn't understand herself, was perfection.
Thanks, everyone! It's been fun to read everyone's take on the prompt.


An abstract is considered to be an essential element of any research paper. Also, it is a key requirement for submitting data in conferences or meetings. The heavy importance attached to it in the research field lends it an air of formidability. Novice are novice, even seasoned researchers struggle to write a research abstract properly. Thus, it is important to learn how to write a research abstract.
An abstract can be defined as a clear succinct summary of one's research and it aims to communicate the essential elements of the research project. One can say that it is the window to one's research.
Scope of a research project involves mentioning of following points: title, background, objective /aim, methods or tools employed to study the problem, results obtained and conclusions. Generally, an abstract is limited to 200-300 words, though, it can differ from one journal to another. Whatever be the case, never exceed the word limit specified by the journal or research style manual.
Title – Treatment of EGFR positive lung cancer patients with targeted agents demonstrated good results.
Author and Affiliation - Smith J., International Institute of Cancer Research, U.S.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in males. Genomic profiling shows approximately 10-20% of lung cancer in Western countries to harbour mutation in EGFR, a growth receptor.
Aim of this study was to understand efficacy of targeted agents against EGFR in lung cancer patients.
Two hundred newly diagnosed lung cancer patients were treated with two drugs for three months and data was collected every one month to understand efficacy of the drug.
Out of two hundred patients treated, seventy percent of them demonstrated longer disease control of drug B than drug A.
Drug B demonstrated superior efficacy than drug A in clinical conditions. However, further research needs to be done to understand other parameters.
Above mentioned sections are key required in writign a research abstract. If followed sequentially, an author can complete an abstract writing in an easier fashion. Point to note here is that keeping tab on word count is very important. Additionally, before submitting a research abstract, make sure that language is understandable by even non-technical readers, and that it is free of spelling and grammatical mistakes.

S3E22: Battle Damage with Chris Gore
Colin Marshall sits down in Glassell Park with comedian and man of cinema Chris Gore, who has talked movies on such television shows as The X Show, The New Movie Show with Chris Gore, and Attack of the Show; has written books including The Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide, The Complete DVD Book, and The Fifty Greatest Movies Never Made; hosts the podcast PodCRASH with That Chris Gore; and has a new comedy album and picture book coming up called Celebrities Poop. They discuss how he takes his work seriously, but not himself; his "war" on the top five podcasts; his contretemps with Representative Dan Lungren while editing Videogames magazine; Colin's Podthought on PodCRASH, and the superiority of essays and films that don't tell you how to feel; his first television appearances on FX, and how he there learned to read a teleprompter by pretending not to read it; growing up a Michigander and a nerd, discovering alternative culture through film (and building his own eight-millimeter home theater at age seven) while actively not giving a shit what anyone thought of him; his choice to come to Los Angeles because it smelled less like pee than New York; his place in film culture versus nerd culture, and the word "nerd" versus the word "geek"; how he makes a podcast out of his appearances on other podcasts in the podcast Mecca that is Los Angeles; meeting and talking to cool people as a byproduct of a career, or as the raison d'être of one; which of them buys cars and which of them buys bespoke suits; what it felt like being around for the nineties' American indie film boom, and why only Quentin Tarantino has kept up his auteur's head of steam from those days; and why he made My Big Fat Independent Movie when that boom got to be too much.

Understanding the differences now, will save you a lot of time and money later. Being close to the U.S. but not in the U.S. has its advantages!
Mexico is a big country and you have a lot of options when it comes to where to live in Mexico. One of the main things to consider is the distance to the U.S. border. If this is your first time purchasing property in Mexico you might want to consider that living close to the U.S. will allow you to take advantage of both countries.
Places like Puerto Vallarta, Cabo, Cancún or San Miguel de Allende will most likely require plane flights, whereas destinations that are closer to the border with only require a very short car ride.
Places like Rosarito Beach, Tijuana and Ensenada are anywhere from 10 minutes to 1 hour's drive to San Diego.
This means that you can live at a discount in Baja but still enjoy all of the great things San Diego has to offer.
OCEANFRONT PROPERTIES THAT YOU CAN AFFORD!
It is true that compared to the U.S. you can buy oceanfront and ocean view properties at a discount in Mexico but it is important that you understand the cost differences.
In places like Puerto Vallarta, Cabo, and Cancún, oceanfront properties are in the millions of dollars compared to Rosarito Beach, Tijuana, and Ensenada which are in the hundreds of thousands.
The fact is you can buy a Luxury Oceanfront Condo with all the amenities in Rosarito Beach starting at around $150,000. If you head a short distance north to San Diego or a little further to Cabo or Cancún, the same property will be in the millions.
For most people, areas like Puerto Vallarta, Cabo, and Cancún have priced themselves out of the market. Although there are million dollar condos and homes in Rosarito Beach, Tijuana, and Ensenada, they are the exception. In northern Baja, most of the oceanfront properties are still extremely affordable.
HAVE YOU CONSIDERED MEDICAL CARE?
Now Mexico has great medical care but what if you already have Medical insurance in the U.S.?
Why pay out of pocket in Mexico when you can easily access your U.S. doctors and Hospitals if you live in Rosarito Beach, Tijuana, and Ensenada?
The answer to that is obvious...for small medical issues you can't beat Mexico for the cost, but if you have to deal with any major medical issues or any ongoing long term treatment you are going to want to see your U.S. doctor.
A lot of people don't take this in consideration when they are picking a place to live in Mexico and what happens is they end up having to sell their property and move back to the U.S. Imagine if you lived in Cancún and needed to have a procedure that requires you to use your U.S. medical insurance? This would mean you would have to pay for AIRFARE, RENTAL CAR AND A HOTEL if you wanted your spouse to accompany you. As we all know, you will need to have consultation visits with your primary care doctor who will then schedule you to have lab work, and then it is back to the primary care doctor who will then refer you to a specialist for care and treatment!!! This could take weeks if not months of doctor visits! Imagine if you had to jump on a plane, rent a car and a hotel many times to complete your treatment. This would get very costly as well as time-consuming.
By living closer to the U.S. border this problem is solved. Rosarito Beach, Tijuana, and Ensenada is a short car ride to San Diego. Scheduling doctor visits, Lab Work or any other ongoing treatment is hassle-free. If your appointment was in the morning you could be home by lunchtime.
Understanding the weather is vital if you plan on living, investing or vacationing in your new Mexico Home.
Most of the top destinations like Cancún, Puerto Vallarta, and Cabo are all seasonal. Which means they have an offseason and an on season. Most people only travel to these destinations in the high seasons so they don't know what they are like at the other times of the year. But the "off seasons" are off for a reason. Not only are the temperatures extremely hot, but the weather is extreme also.
Cancún, Puerto Vallarta, and Cabo are all in Hurricane Zones. Hurricanes are common in these areas at certain times of the year. I don't know about you but if you have ever been in a hurricane or seen the effects of one... they can be scary!
Rosarito Beach, Tijuana, and Ensenada are fortunate to share one of the world's best weather conditions with SAN DIEGO. San Diego is world famous for its weather and for its abundance of SUNNY DAYS. This area is not in a hurricane zone so there is no need to be concerned with storm shelters or hurricane insurance. You won't be without power, streets washed away, homes flooded or damaged because of a hurricane. This should be a big factor in choosing your location to purchase and live.
CAN YOUR FAMILY AFFORD TO VISIT YOU?
Consider if you live in Puerto Vallarta, Cabo, Cancún or San Miguel de Allende and you want your children, grandchildren or both to visit you. This could get costly! Airfare and Rooms alone will be in the $1,000's... and this would probably be a once a year visit at best.
Now consider living in Rosarito Beach, Tijuana, and Ensenada. Most families can drive down to see you. The cost of hotels here is extremely affordable compared to the resort destinations allowing you and your family to save $1,000's on airfare and rooms. With these savings, you will be able to have multiple family visits a year.
WHAT ABOUT U.S. MAIL AND PACKAGES?
Have you ever considered how you would get your mail if you lived in Puerto Vallarta, Cabo, Cancún or San Miguel de Allende?
If you keep your U.S. address this will not be a problem as you will be traveling back and forth... but, what if you plan on living full time in Mexico... What happens to all your U.S. mail?
If you plan on living in Puerto Vallarta, Cabo, Cancún or San Miguel de Allende there are services that will forward mail to you but it is costly and a challenge especially if you have packages.
For those of us that live in Rosarito Beach, Tijuana and Ensenada there are many services that will cross daily to pick up our mail and packages for us. If you like to shop online at places like Amazon (like most of us) you will not have a problem. For a very small fee, you can still enjoy all the online shopping that you would have in the U.S. Our website recommends a few different mail service providers.

Q: Question that connects between Poisson and Exponential distributions (trying to understand how to apply what I know into it). Here's the question (Sorry if the translation is a little weird, if anything isn't clear tell me):

In a phone company there's two types of callers:
First type (A) calls to buy a cellphone.
Second type (B) calls to fix a bug in their cellphone.
We know that the number of times a caller calls is independent and is distributed Poisson distribution with parameters $\lambda_A=1$ and $\lambda_B=\frac{1}{2}$.
So the time between the calls are also independent and are distributed exponentially with parameters $\lambda_A,\lambda_B$.
What is the probability that the first caller from type A, called after the third caller from type B?

My attempts:

*

*I tried to find a way to apply a known formula:
Let's say the time between the calls of caller A is $Q^i_A$, and times between calls of caller $B$ is $Q^i_B$ (where $i$ is $1$ between the first two calls, $2$ between second and third call etc...
And I know that:
$T_B^3=Q_B^1+Q_B^2+Q_B^3 \Longrightarrow T_B^n\sim Gamma(3,\lambda_B)$
$T_A^1= Q_A^1$ (Just to be consistent).
And Here I tried to connect the question to this formula:
$P(T_n\le t)=P(N_t \ge n) =1-\sum^{n-1}_{k=0}\frac{e^{-\lambda t (\lambda t)^k}}{k!}$. Where $N_t\sim Pois(\lambda t)$
But now I'm struggling to link it to my question here, how do I write "first caller of type A has called after the third caller from type B" the formula doesn't give me some type of connection, it just tells me that "the probability that the time is less than $t$ is the probability that the caller has called more or equal to $n$ times".

*Using this fact: Given two independent random variables, $X_1\sim exp(\lambda_1) , X_2\sim exp(\lambda_2)$,
We know that: $P(X_1<X_2)=\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_1 + \lambda_2}$.
But again I'm struggling to link it to my question here, if I want the time that the third caller of type B called, I can say that $T^3_B\sim Gamma(3,\lambda_B)$ and so $P(T_A^1 < T_B^3)$ but here I have lost the exponential variable, and I don't think I can use the formula any more.

I think I have to somehow use the second approach for each of the $Q_B^i$, but that doesn't make any sense for me, it's like saying "Time between calls of caller type B is greater than time between calls of caller A", which isn't the case.
The last idea I had about this formula, I was a little confused, if I have to reconfigure the definition of $Q_A^0$ of time between the start and the first call, I could say that $P(Q_B^0 < Q_A^0)$, and also $P(Q_B^1 < Q_A^0)$, and $P(Q_B^2 < Q_A^0)$ and since they're independent, I would multiply them.
But what's bothering me is for example lets say $Q_B^0=5$, $Q_B^1$ could be $4$ too (since $Q$ is the time between calls). which messes up my last attempt, since if $Q_A^0=12$ and $Q_B^0=5, Q_B^1=5, Q_B^2=5$, that satisfies my formula, but it shouldn't since when $Q_B^2$ happens, $Q_A^0$ has already occurred.
Sorry if I made this long, I've tried to include everything I did and every thought of mine, in order to improve my understanding of this subject as I've felt lost in this question.
Any help or feedback is really appreciated, Thanks in advance!

A: Your first approach almost got you there already. Reusing that notation, the probability you are looking for is
$$P(T_A^1 > T_B^3)$$
where the random variables $T_A^1 \sim \text{Gamma}(1,\lambda_A)$ and $T_B^3 \sim \text{Gamma}(3,\lambda_B)$ are independent.
According to wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_distribution#Related_distributions) the fraction $T_B^3/T_A^1$ has a generalized beta prime distribution, i.e.
$$\frac{T_B^3}{T_A^1} \sim \beta'(3,1,1,\lambda_A/\lambda_B).$$
With this you can calculate $P(T_A^1 > T_B^3)$.

The 2014 Young Thespian Drama festival is being held by Enreach Education and The Council for American Culture and Education. There are two different categories of activities: competition and workshops. The competition consists of Monologue and Scene performances of which there are two levels: Junior (6-8 grade years) and Senior (9-12 grade years).
Students will have the opportunity to take a workshop in Shakespeare's textual analysis and performance. Taught by an experienced Shakespeare actor who graduated from the University of Cambridge, the students will learn about Shakespeare's language—what it means and how to perform it. Students will also take a workshop in Sanford Meisner's famous acting technique as well as exercises for the voice in diction and projection. Lastly, the students will partake in a lecture/workshop explaining how soft skills taught through drama such as confidence, communication, collaboration, eye contact, and physical coordination to name a few, are important skills for college interviews and survival in a university setting abroad. All workshops are taught by expert theatre or education professionals.
The winner of each category on both levels will be presented with a winning certificate and a scholarship award, valued at 5000 Yuan. The scholarship will be delivered as a coupon, which will provide the winners the rights of a free drama course or a discount on designated overseas programs.


Unity of humanity is one of the central teachings of the Bahá'í Faith. The Bahá'í teachings state that since all humans have been created in the image of God, God does not make any distinction between people regardless of race or colour. Thus, because all humans have been created equal, they all require equal opportunities and treatment. Thus the Bahá'í view promotes the unity of humanity, and that people's vision should be world-embracing and that people should love the whole world rather than just their nation. The teaching, however, does not equal unity with uniformity, but instead the Bahá'í writings advocate for the principle of unity in diversity where the variety in the human race is valued.
The Bahá'í teaching of the unity of humanity (also known as the oneness of humanity) stems from the teaching that all humans have been created equal in the image of God, and that God does not make any distinction between people. The teaching emphasizes the unity of humanity transcending all divisions of race, nation, gender, caste, and social class, while celebrating its diversity. The Bahá'í writings states that since the human race is one unified organic unit, all people have the same basic capacities, and that the physical differences, such as skin colour, are superficial and do not make one ethnic group superior to another.
In the Bahá'í view, humanity has always constituted one group, but that ignorance, prejudice and power-seeking have prevented the recognition of the oneness of humanity. The historical differences that have existed between different ethnic groups is attributable to differences in education and cultural opportunities over a long-term, as well as to racial prejudice and oppression.
In the Bahá'í view, unity does not equal uniformity, but instead the Bahá'í writings advocate for the principle of unity in diversity where the variety in the human race is valued. `Abdu'l-Bahá, the son of the founder of the religion, compared the human race to a flower garden where the garden was made more beautiful by its diversities of colour and form.
The world of humanity is like unto a rose garden and the various races, tongues and people are like unto contrasting flowers. The diversity of colors in a rose-garden adds to the charm and beauty of the scene as variety enhances unity.
The Bahá'í writings note that unity will not be arrived at through the suppression of difference, but instead when each respects the intrinsic value of other individuals and cultures. In this view, it is not the diversity that causes conflict, but rather people's intolerance and prejudice towards diversity.
The cultural norms in the religion have gone through major transitions. In the later 1930s and 1940s Bahá'ís in the West began a systematic implementation of the Tablets of the Divine Plan towards Latin America. At a certain stage of the process regional coordinating committees were appointed and a stated purpose for them was to facilitate a shift in the balance of roles from North American leading guidance and Latin cooperation to Latin leading guidance and North American cooperation. The process was well underway by 1950 and was to be enforced about 1953. By 1961 most Latin and South American countries had their own national assembly. See Bahá'í Faith in Latin America. Almost in parallel with this process in the West in the East Bahá'ís in India were embarking on a comparable process. The Bahá'í message had for decades been primarily addressed to Indian Muslims and Parsees (Zoroastrians), a re-interpretation of the Bahá'í message in accordance with Hindu ideas was undertaken to reach the masses of Hindus. In two more years almost as many people converted as had been Bahá'ís through regions of Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat. By 1970 there were 3,350 assemblies and over 312,000 believers. See Bahá'í Faith in India.
While those early processes continued locally international attention shifted to Africa for Bahá'ís in the West and East. In Africa there was widespread conversions to the religion following the 1950s. It was emphasized that pioneers be self-effacing and focus their efforts not on the colonial leadership but on the native Africans - and that the pioneers must show by actions the sincerity of their sense of service to the Africans in bringing the religion and then the Africans who understand their new religion are to be given freedom to rise up and spread the religion according to their own sensibilities and the pioneers to disperse or step into the background. See Bahá'í Faith in Africa.
Since then other examples of this pattern of growing respect for cultures has taken hold in specific instances. Unlike the spread of Christianity within Indian country, in the United States, the Bahá'í Faith has never been associated with a fortification of colonial occupation, Euro-American assimilation, or forced conversions of Native Americans. Indeed, in 1960 Hand of the Cause Rúhíyyih Khánum asked for forgiveness for the injustices her race had done and praised the great past of the native peoples. And in 1963 anthropologist Alice Beck Kehoe, a well known researcher of Native Americans, observed that the Bahá'í Faith is considered by its members to be a universal faith, not tied to any one particular culture, religious background, language, or even country of origin. See Bahá'í Faith and Native Americans. In Papua New Guinea whereas Christian missionaries openly opposed traditional funerary art and performances, the Bahá'ís encouraged their production as a form of worship. Thus while Nalik Bahá'ís are regarded by other Naliks as arbiters of traditional knowledge and practices, the Christian missions and their followers are seen as antagonistic to kastom. See Bahá'í Faith in Papua New Guinea.
Abhorring all forms of prejudice and rejecting any system of segregation, the Bahá'í Faith was introduced on a one-to-one basis and the community quietly grew during the apartheid years, without publicity. Despite the nature of the politics of that time, we presented our teachings on unity and the oneness of humankind to prominent individuals in politics, commerce and academia and leaders of thought including State Presidents.... [b]oth individual Bahá'ís and our administrative institutions were continually watched by the security police.... Our activities did not include opposition to the previous Government for involvement in partisan politics and opposition to government are explicitly prohibited by the sacred Texts of our Faith.... During the time when the previous Government prohibited integration within our communities, rather than divide into separate administrative structures for each population group, we opted to limit membership of the Bahá'í Administration to the black adherents who were and remain in the majority of our membership and thereby placed the entire Bahá'í community under the stewardship of its black membership.... The pursuit of our objectives of unity and equality has not been without costs. The "white" Bahá'ís were often ostracized by their white neighbours for their association with "non-whites". The Black Bahá'ís were subjected to scorn by their black compatriots for their lack of political action and their complete integration with their white Bahá'í brethren. The most tragic loss to our community was the brutal execution of four of our adherents, at our places of worship, three in Mdantsane and one in Umtata.
It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country, and Mankind its citizens.
Thus in the Bahá'í view, unity must be expressed by building a universal and unified social system that is based on spiritual principles. In this view, the fundamental purpose of society is spiritual and is to create a society that is favourable to the healthy development of all its peoples.

All the scams, routines and even work-ethics that might compel someone to become a digital escapee get lazily reproduced in Second Life. Mafias extort and coerce, dodgy traders find ways to counterfeit goods, and people labour away at their houses, or trades, or roles, in ways that often seem indistinguishable from "first life".

In January, I don't think it's a hard month for anyone to justify not doing a favourites. We are all still using our beloved products from Christmas and for me - it's birthday stuff too! Pro's of having a birthday in January.. Woop woop! There is so much stuff I wanted to include this month but I've narrowed down my favourite picks I got for Christmas (I feel so wrong saying that in February) That's given me a good 2 months (almost) to try and tell you how amazing these products are!
I've sang praises about many different purple shampoo's in the past, but this is definitely the best one I've ever used! It has to be the cheapest out of them all too. I had heard Meg from Meg Says sing praises of this in one of her videos, so I decided to give it a go. After one wash, with the shampoo and conditioner together - I am not even kidding you when I say it looked like my hair had been dyed! It maintains the blonde, toning down any brass/yellowy colours really well and I love how shiny it makes my hair after washing! If you spend a lot of money on purple shampoo.. Don't! This is your new saviour!
For a higher end cleansing balm, I'd say this is definitely one of the more affordable ones I've seen. I am always looking for quicker ways to remove my make up without too much faff, and this does the job wonderfully. You rub it all over your face without wetting it first, massaging it into all of the days make up and use a flannel/muslin cloth to wash it all off. It's fragrance free for all you sensitive skin types out there and doesn't require too much rubbing. It gets my make up off without any hassle and doesn't leave my skin feeling too greasy (which is good, considering it's quite an oily consistency) The only downside is that if I rub too much product on my eyes, it can leave them a bit blurry. With that being said, I would definitely purchase this again, as it's one of the only things that doesn't make my skin flare up into an oily disaster! If you haven't tried this, you absolutely should.
This was never going to be a classic Tania favourites without any Lush stuff, was it?!
Obviously, I am a wild Lush fan so I'm slightly biased, but this is the best body scrub I have ever used. This comes in solid form OR a liquid paste, which is the one I decided to go for. I prefer the one in the pot because it's less abrasive, in comparison to a solid form. It leaves your skin feeling SO soft and moisturised, as well as nicely exfoliated. This is a very gentle scrub, which is perfect for anyone who doesn't want to get out of the shower looking and feeling like you've shed your skin. It smells divine and has leaves you with the cleanest, floral smell you could possibly imagine. I couldn't recommend this more!
I popped into Sephora a few weeks ago whilst in Barcelona and darted straight for the Too Faced section. I've heard so many good things about this foundation and I was dying to get matched up. Much to my surprise (not) it turns out I actually needed the lightest shade! #palelife. I got given the primer as a free tester to try out with it and the two work so well together. This is a medium-high coverage foundation which is easily buildable, extremely lightweight and blends so nicely. I apply mine with a beauty blender, as I find it leaves a better finish, in comparison to a brush. It is oil free for all your combination skin types out there and doesn't leave your skin too dewy. POIFIC!!
144 eye shadows in one palette.. What more could a girl want? (Probably a lot more is the answer but hey, just go with it) Make Up Revolution are very popular with pretty much all beauty bloggers at the moment (especially me) and the more I use them - the more I can see why. The shadows are really pigmented and you have such a vast range of colours (incase you didn't notice hohoho) They're easily blendable and they stay on for so long. I use the top half of the palette more than the bottom colourful shades because y'know, I'm not THAT daring..! Either way, if you're absolutely make up obsessed or you're just starting out with eyeshadow - this is the BEST palette to experiment with and everyone basically needs it in their lives!
That clinique cleansing balm looks lovely I'm going to need to try it out myself!
These products sound wonderful i have been dying to try that too face foundation.

Грехем Фредерік Янг (; 7 вересня 1947, Лондон — 1 серпня 1990 року) — англійський серійний убивця. У своїй діяльності надавав перевагу користуватися отрутами; вперше був заарештований ще підлітком — і продовжив вбивати, ледь вийшовши на свободу. Відомий під прізвиськом «Отруйник із Сент-Олбанс» ( St. Albans Poisoner)

Біографія
Народився Янг у Нісдені, Північний Лондон (Neasden, north London). З ранніх років він захоплювався усім, що було пов'язане з отрутами, його зачаровувала різноманітність їх впливу на живі організми. У 1961 році 13-річний Грем почав експериментувати з отруйними речовинами; як піддослідних кроликів цікавий юнак використовував власних родичів — серйозно зіпсувавши їм в кінцевому підсумку здоров'я. У той час він зумів накопичити достатньо солідні запаси сурми і наперстянки; закуповував він їх маленькими порціями, нібито для шкільних наукових експериментів.

У 1962-му від отруєння померла мачуха Янга, Моллі (Molly); подальші дослідження Грем продовжив на батькові, сестрі і однокласнику.  Поступово у однієї з тіточок хлопчика, Вінні (Winnie), що прекрасно знала про його захоплення хімією і отруйними речовинами, виникли цілком певні підозри. Проблеми зі здоров'ям переслідували і самого Янга — іноді він забував, яку саме їжу отруїв і сам ставав жертвою власних дослідів. Зрештою юного натураліста відправили спочатку до психіатра, а потім — і в руки органів охорони правопорядку. Заарештовано Янга 23 травня 1962 року. Юнак зізнався в замаху на вбивство батька, сестри і друга; довести його причетність до смерті мачухи не вдалося — тіло до того моменту вже було піддано кремації.

У психіатричній лікарні Янг провів 9 років з 15 спочатку йому присуджених; вийшовши на волю, Грем нібито повністю вилікувався. В якійсь мірі висновок дійсно пішов Янгу на користь — в лікарні він зумів ознайомитися із солідною колекцією медичних отрут, істотно поповнивши свої пізнання; крім того, Грем зумів поставити цілу серію своїх експериментів на інших пацієнтах і навіть членах персоналу.

Вийшовши в 1971 році на волю, Янг отримав місце в науковій лабораторії, яка постачала військовим інфрачервоні лінзи. Незабаром керівник Янга, Боб Ігл (Bob Egle), помер від невідомої хвороби. Поступово хвороба поширилася по всьому колективу; труїв своїх колег Янг в основному через чай. За кілька місяців роботи Грем отруїв в цілому 7 чоловік — при чому двох на смерть. Першим з убитих Янгом був Боб Ігл; через кілька місяців після його смерті в госпіталь потрапив ще один товариш  Грема, Фред Біггс (Fred Biggs). Заарештований Янг був через власну необережність — він цікавився у лікаря, чи розглядали експерти можливість отруєння талієм і встиг обмовитися про свій інтерес до токсичних хімікатів. Зрештою один з колег Грема розповів про підозрілого товариша поліції; детективи знайшли в архівах записи про арешт Янга і 21 листопада 1971 року заарештували отруйника. Крім отрут, в його речах був знайдений найдокладніший щоденник — в ньому Янг скрупульозно записував дози отрут, які йому вдалося ввести колегам, їхній ефект і подальші плани (аж до того списку передбачуваних небіжчиків). Пізніше Янг намагався переконати суд в тому, що щоденник був всього лише вигадкою, задумкою для художнього твору; це не врятувало його від довічного ув'язнення.

Янга  відправили до в'язниці суворого режиму в Паркхерст на острові Уайт. Там він і помер 1 серпня 1990  року. Офіційною причиною смерті був оголошений серцевий напад. Але в деяких ЗМІ з'явилася інформація, що смерть знаменитого отруйника була аж ніяк не випадковою. Подейкують, що Грем отруїв себе, втомившись від життя у в'язниці.  Втім, доказів цьому так і не було знайдено.

I just ordered a new Daiwa SV TW 103 HS Reel. Up until now all of my reels are Lews so the Daiwa will be quite a change for me. I really wanted to try out the SV Spool. The reel should be here on Monday or so but since the weather will be so hot I won't be fishing anyway.
My Target use for this reel is for my Fall visit to Guntersville. During that time frogging in the mats with long casts is the order of the day and this reel seems to offer some performance features that should help this process. Only time will tell if this was a good buy but many folks have told me that I won't be disappointed. I hope they are right.
I have never owned any high end Daiwas. I did have a mid range Daiwa baitcaster of about $100 and I was not pleased with it at all. I ended up trading it within the first month of owning it for a Shimano.
Now with that being said, my oldest reel is a Daiwa. I use it EVERY time I go fishing too. It is a Daiwa Tournament SS Spinning Reel that I bought back in 1991. It works as good today as it did when I purchased it 26 years ago. If that is not a golden testimonial for Daiwa, I do not know what is.
I'd really like to know how your new reel performs Bud.
I have been fussing with myself for a few months about giving this reel a try but the recommendations were just so strong and my research indicated that it would be worth the try. The prices of the TaT s have dropped significantly to the point that I would not call this a high end casting reel but more a mid grade. The to my door price was $134.00 and although not cheap it is in the range where I would take a chance. I had been looking at quite a few different reels from Lews to Shimanos and this Daiwa seems to have a lot of very strong features that appeal to me but mostly the SV Spool. So many of the Shimano reels that I would consider are just out of my price range even though many folks swear by them I guess they would have been ok also. My Lews reels have always been very good especially the BB1 pro and if this does not work out that is what I will probably get next.
The reel has arrived and I must say it is a thing of beauty. Fit and finish of this product is absolutely perfect. It is a bit smaller than I anticipated and that is a good thing. It fits in my hand just right. I don't think I have ever received a new reel that is as smooth as this one is. So far everything is absolutely perfect and could not be more pleased. I am gonna spool it up tomorrow and take it out to the front yard and make some casts. Here are a couple pics.
I'm happy for you Bud. I hope you can get the bass out of the grass on Guntersville. Nice looking reel. I just hope it performs up to your expectations.
That T-Wing seemed like a gimmick when it first came out but I have 2 Tatula's now and there is no other reel that is as smooth for casting. Period. Durability and tolerances...well...that remains to be seen. I'm using both for pitching applications have have jacked a fair number of jaws. I wouldn't be hesitant to purchase again.
Daiwa is one of the two best reels in the market, the other being Shimano. You'll never go back to a Korean made reel!


There are about 300,000 sports related cases of concussions per year in the United States alone. Athletes are the number one group at risk of sustaining a concussion, and face the potential for injury every time they step on the field. Concussions can vary in recovery time from a week to months, and concussion symptoms vary in every individual. Despite a sizable knowledge base on the subject and increased awareness of the problem, there are many aspects of concussion pathology yet to be studied.
As a part of the Gemstone Program, an interdisciplinary research program that allows undergraduates to carry out three year research projects, Team Forget It aims to grapple with some of the unknown aspects of concussions. With mentoring from Dr. Silvia Muro, an associate professor in the Fischell Department of Bioengineering, we are currently researching the relationship between glucose transport elements and reactive oxygen species during a concussion in the cells that make up the blood brain barrier. In addition, we plan to examine the efficacy of antioxidants such as Vitamin E as a protective measure against the detrimental effects of a concussion.
We are seeking funding in order to purchase cells and reagents for our team to conduct research in the lab over the next year. Any donation will go a long way into helping us examine the physiology behind a concussion. We cannot do it without your help! We have the ability to expand the knowledge base about concussions, and get one step closer towards solving this ever-growing problem.
A gift of $5 allows us to buy new tubes and pipet tips to run our experiment.
A gift of $10 will go toward purchasing new cell media to be used in our future experimentation.
A gift of $25 will go towards buying a new secondary antibody to be used in our experiment.
A gift of $50 will go towards purchasing the transwells needed to run the experiment.
A gift of $100 allows us to buy new cells needed to be tested in our control and experimental groups.
A gift of $250 allows us to buy new reagents to be used in our clinical trials of replicating concussion-like states.
A gift of $500 will go towards purchasing the Cell Injury Controller, the apparatus necessary for us to complete our research.

I'm loving this, but for optimal sexiness I'd like to know what font is being used in the screenshot.
I like your theme, but how can I move the fields (session, system menu and datetime) a bit to the left?
I ask because the date/time are halfway out of my screen.
what resolution do you have?
I tried to make it better but I cannot. My monitor hardware (AOpen) is not recognized by linux. To bad, because this is a 19" LCD screen.
ok my monitor doesn't support this resolution so you have to extract KdmLinux.tar.gz on desktop, enter to directory KdmLinux and then open LinuxDesktop.xml with kwrite.
Now you can try to change in section "icons and text in bottom bar" x and y position.
Had the same problem with 1024x768 resolution - changing x postion from 68 to 55 in section "clock" in the xml-file solved the problem.
the theme is really cool!

Hallelujah is the type of song that, whether played or covered, captures its listeners. It's soulful melody and lyrical journey set the singer up for success, even if their vocal ability is mediocre. But this rendition by the Cinematic Pop Orchestra and Choir featuring 16 year-old soloist McKenna Breinholt, is far from mediocre.
At 16 years young, Breinholt's breathy and mature voice is a wonderful fit, accompanied by the intricate layers of sound produced by each section of the live symphony, alike something from a Lord of the Rings Soundtrack.

I became a pharmacist as it is about supporting patients and seemed to offer the right mix of science with maths. I always loved the environment of my local community pharmacy as a child, going regularly with my parents and understood that the pharmacist was an expert in medicines yet very much available to patients.
The school I went to was keen for me to do pure maths which my dad lectured in, so I was not too enthusiastic for that as it would have meant long maths conversations over dinner for quite a few years.
Where did you work on your first day as a pharmacist and what do you remember about that day?
I worked in Johnstone Boots on the first day as regular relief pharmacist one day a week. I got married the day before I registered, and since I knew I would not be working as a pharmacist until after I got married I arranged for my certificate to be in my married name. So the first day working was when I got back from my honeymoon and was about getting used to being called Mrs Oman, as the pharmacist in Boots at that time was always known by their surname and title. I kept thinking someone was asking for my mother-in-law. I don't remember it being a stressful day just that everyone was really nice.
What previous roles have you undertaken as a pharmacist?
I have worked for corporate and private groups of pharmacies, across Glasgow, Paisley and Stirlingshire. I always enjoyed working where the area was more challenging and thoroughly enjoyed my first non-Boots role as manager in the east end of Glasgow. I was nominated for Pharmacy Champion in Forth Valley when the role was introduced which brought new experiences representing community pharmacy in the Board and to patients. I realised how little other health professionals were aware at that time of the benefits pharmacy brings to patients.

Ex-Red Devil "didn't see a huge amount of difference" to Man Utd performance despite Rangnick changes
Aston Villa FC Manchester United FC
Former Manchester United midfielder Luke Chadwick was not exactly full of praise for Ralf Rangnick's side's performance despite their 1-0 win over Aston Villa in the FA Cup third round.
The Red Devils have produced some improved results and look more solid defensively since Rangnick took over as interim manager to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but the team still isn't providing much of an attacking threat in most games.
A report from The Athletic suggested that Rangnick attempted to fix that for the Villa game by changing his formation and trying a new way of communicating his tactics to his players, but Chadwick isn't convinced it seemed to make much of a difference.
"You didn't see a huge amount of difference … the shape was tweaked slightly, with Cavani at the tip of a 4-2-3-1," Chadwick told CaughtOffside.
"The team spent the majority of the first half defending against a hungry-looking Villa team. United looked happy to defend their lead and it looked a bit risky at times, but paid off in the end.
"I think in terms of seeing a difference, it was the shape of the team to a shape they're more used to playing. Good to see another clean sheet, it's a huge improvement as goals were raining in before. In terms of attacking play, though, there wasn't a huge amount of creativity of spark in the game, but it's a positive result.
"It was a really tough game but the huge positive that came out of it was the result. The performance wasn't brilliant by any stretch of the imagination, Aston Villa will probably feel a bit hard done by. The most realistic opportunity of silverware this season probably is the FA Cup, so it could turn out to be a massive result, even if it wasn't a brilliant performance."
Scott McTominay gave Man Utd a 1-0 win over Aston Villa
Chadwick added that one attacking player who could provide more of a spark, Bruno Fernandes, is clearly not at the top of his game at the moment and his dip in form is a "concern".
He added, however, that it's perhaps inevitable that the Portugal international might be struggling with fatigue after playing so much football and carrying this side at times since he joined the club.
"It is a concern, but there's not really one player in the squad right now who look to be at the top of their game or playing as they'd expect," Chadwick said.

"I think Bruno obviously came in and had an incredible start, one of the best starts anyone's had at Manchester United. He really carried the team for spells and became a real talisman.
"I think he's not had a huge amount of rest and he looks a bit jaded. He's rarely missed a minute and that does catch up with you. With the quality he's got, hopefully he'll come back and keep being a huge player for United."

My Diary of Life in The Divine Will Daily Adventures in This Vast Uncharted Realm
By Frank Albas on January 29, 2012 0
I really, really, really want to live fully in the Divine Will! I truly do! Does anyone want to join me?
I am writing the first installment of a diary of sorts, mapping out to you my daily adventures in the vast expanses of this largely uncharted realm of the Divine Will. Before I describe to you the place at which I've arrived, I must share with you where I've been for the last several years in terms of my quest for the Golden Fleece, the elusive prize of possession of the Gift of the Divine Will.
I was first introduced to Luisa's writings by a lady who handed me a pamphlet way back in 1991, shortly after I arrived in Miami Beach. I remember that the contents of the booklet were so good that I decided to find out all I could about this new spirituality. Shortly thereafter, I joined a local Divine Will group affiliated with the Sons of the Divine Will of St. Cloud, Florida, which held weekly meetings in the coordinator's home in North Miami. That lasted about a year or so, and then abruptly came to an end when the group voted to expel me as member. The leader thought herself as a guru who was capable of spouting "wisdom" effortlessly and endlessly, and hence did not appreciate anyone questioning what she had to say.
I was on my own for the next few years until a group was formed right in Miami Beach; exactly on August 15, the very feast day of the Divine Will! (talk about Divine approval for the group!) the first meeting was held, with about ten people attending. We never grew larger than about fifteen at any meeting after that. Gradually over the next several years, we lost member after member, until this past year there are only two of us left. I believe that the members never really understood what living in the Divine Will means. Perhaps none of us knew enough about the marvels of the Divine Will to properly explain it to the other members.
It is only when we started reading the later volumes 31 to 34, that I really understood the wonders of God's Will, that I really developed the desire to read Jesus' anguished pleas that we live in His Will: "Moreover, if she [the soul] wants the Life of Our Will as hers -wanted, commanded by Us with so many sighs-if she truly wants it, she will have the Great Good of possessing Our Will as Life." Luisa, after living in the Divine Will so many years, still was not convinced of the possibility of fully living in the Divine Will: "O power of the Divine Volition, how I would want to possess You as Life in my soul, to Live of You in order to not know any other life than Yours. But O! How very far I am from it; there is so much needed in order to arrive at Living of Divine Will."
Jesus replies to her:
"Do you want that My Will reign and live in you as Life? If you truly want it, everything is done, because so much is Our Love and ardent desire that the creature possess Our Will as Life in order to let her live of It, that as her human will truly wants it, so Ours fills the human volition with Our Supreme Volition in order to form Its Life there, and live in her as in Its Own Center. If this could not be, the Sanctity of Living in My Volition would be a difficult and almost impossible sanctity, and I do not know how to either teach difficult things, nor do I want impossible things. Rather, it is My usual way to make easy, for as as it is possible for the creature, the most arduous things and the hardest sacrifices....Therefore, not too much is needed to Live of My Will; the too much is in the volition. If it decides, and strongly and perseveringly wants it, already she has conquered Mine and has made It hers (Vol. 33, Mar. 19, 1935)."
Even though Jesus assures us of how easy it is to live in the Divine Will, those aspiring to receive this Gift don't realize that it is absolutely necessary that they keep placing all their acts in the Divine Will all day long, minute after minute, otherwise they are continuing to live in their human will.
Jesus, in another place, confirms this by stating that for there to be Life, acts must be continuous and uninterrupted.This is the reason why, even after attending Divine Will conference after Divine Will conference, speaker after speaker, I have yet to see anyone that I can point out as truly living in the Divine Will.
Getting back to the present state of affairs, for the last two months, I experienced the grace of wanting to read, almost in a state of ecstasy, for several hours each day Luisa's writings, and to understand everything well enough. I am remembering to place more and more of everything I do in the Divine Will.
Each act that we do in the Divine Will acts as someone blowing over the cooled embers in a charcoal fire. The fire starts blazing again, which in turn inspires us to place the next act in the Divine Will. Reading the Luisa's writings has the same effect-to re-kindle the flames of our living in the Divine Will.
Before closing, I would like to add a short biographical note to this article. The 36 Volumes present the day-to-day dialogue between Jesus and the privileged soul Luisa Piccarreta on the science of Living in His Divine Will. Luisa (1865-1947) was a mystic and victim soul (confined to her bed) who lived only on the Eucharist and the Divine Will for 64 years. She was confided with the greatest Mission on Earth since Jesus and Our Blessed Mother, that is to herald the Kingdom of the Divine Will on Earth, a New Era in which man will live the life of Divine Holiness, as originally planned by God. Luisa's cause for Beatification was opened by Rome in 1994.
In order to receive the sublime Gift of the Divine Will, you must read and study its doctrine. If you're interested in any or all of the 36 Volumes, check out our website http://www.divinewill.cc where you can order at our book store.
Frank J Albas is the owner of Divine Enterprises, which operates an online book store and is an online seller of gourmet coffee beans. He promotes the Divine Will revelations by Jesus to Luisa Piccarreta concerning the Kingdom of the Divine Will.
